Four local school districts’ teacher contracts expired Friday, but none of them expect any immediate disruption, as schools are on summer break.
Neither Mad River nor Greenon schools has reached a new deal with its teachers, but school officials said no strike notices have been filed, and teachers and staff are still doing summer work as normal.
Mad River Superintendent Chad Wyen said he expects negotiations to wrap up “in the next couple of weeks,” while Greenon Superintendent Brad Silvus said the parties in his district are taking a break from negotiations for a few weeks.
New Lebanon Local Schools has reached a tentative agreement with its teachers, and Superintendent Greg Williams said the teachers union is preparing to vote on whether to ratify it. In the meantime, those few teachers working summer assignments will continue to do so under the terms of the expiring contract.
The most prominent district without a new deal is Dayton Public Schools.
Dayton Education Association president David Romick said DEA teachers will continue to work their summer school assignments and professional development training over the summer, under the terms of the expiring deal.
The union is going to talk to the federal mediator in early July, but it’s not part of formal mediation sessions that made some progress in May. The next formal mediation sessions are not scheduled until early August.
The union has a meeting scheduled for Aug. 1, and Romick said if there’s no deal by then, DEA will take a strike vote at that point, in advance of the Aug. 15 start of the school year.
The Northridge and Bethel school districts also remain in negotiations, but their teachers union contracts do not expire until July 31.
Fourteen other school districts ratified new contracts with their teachers this spring — Beavercreek, Bellbrook, Brookville, Carlisle, Centerville, Covington, Eaton, Fairborn, Kettering, Milton-Union, Piqua, Troy, Valley View and Vandalia-Butler. The other 20 local school districts have contracts that don’t expire until the summer of 2018 or 2019.

Bernard Mandeville (1670-1733) was born in Holland in 1670 into a family of physicians and naval officers. He received his degree of Doctor of Medicine at Leiden in 1691 and began to practice as a specialist in nerve and stomach disorders, his father’s specialty. Perhaps after a tour of Europe, he ended up in London, where he soon learned the language and decided to stay. He married in 1699, fathered at least two children, and brought out his first English publication in 1703 (a book of fables in the La Fontaine tradition). He wrote works on medicine (A Treatise of the Hypochondriack and Hysterick Passions, 1711), poetry (Wishes to a Godson, with Other Miscellany Poems, 1712), and religious and political affairs (Free Thoughts on Religion, the Church, and National Happiness, 1720). He died in 1733. His most famous work, The Fable of the Bees, or Private Vices, Publick Benefits, came out in more than half a dozen editions beginning in 1714 (the poem The Grumbing Hive upon which it was based appeared in 1705) and became one of the most enduringly controversial works of the eighteenth century for its claims about the moral foundations of modern commercial society.

I was super excited when my client said, “make my hair silver”!
The very first step that will need to be done, is you hair will need to be bleached very light. I had to gently bleach her hair twice. The reason why is that the level of lightness needs to be very,very light, and this is because this is the only way for the silver to look like silver.
The other accent hair color is the lavender. She had expressed how she gets a bit frustrated with the fact that the lavender can fade.
If you are look for a color resistant option to chemical hair color, then this is when you can add some Great Lengths hair extensions to your design. Great Lengths comes in so many, many colors. Some of them are called crazy colors.
The hair extension hair is colorfast because of the way it is dyed, at the factory.
Coloring hair is one of my favorite experiences to provide. If you are looking a salon that is not afraid of making hair silver or any other shade of hair color, then you cannot go wrong with working with Loft Salon Studio.
The best benefit of this design was that by adding both silver and lavender to her design, I was able to thicken up her hair.
Hair extensions are not just for making your hair long.

Each year more and more Spaniards are seriously considering learning English, or taking a course to brush up on their current skills. English language knowledge has become essential to most European and Latin American countries, as it is almost always the language used for communication with other countries, international business, high level university study, and is also necessary for the tourism industry. Even though Spanish and English have a lot of similarities, Spanish speakers repeatedly make the same mistakes when learning English.
Today we’re looking at 10 common English mistakes that Spanish speakers make when trying to learn English. So next time if you say or hear “She has eyes blues” instead of “She has blue eyes” you know why that mistake is being made!
Prepositions are tricky because they often change a lot between English and Spanish. Here are some specific examples of confusing prepositions.
A Spanish student might say, “Call to someone” instead of “Call someone” (in English there is no preposition in such phrases).
Spaniards often incorrectly say, “Marry with somebody” instead of “Marry somebody” (in English there is no preposition in such phrases).
In Spanish, the verb tenses change with the subject, so actually saying “I” or “he” or “it” isn’t necessary. So learners sometimes forget that the subject is always necessary in English, leading to sentences like “is always a good idea to eat spinach.” The “it,” because it doesn’t refer to anything in particular, can be easy for a learner to forget.
Spanish speakers can omit making these mistakes by learning English with a very effective tool http://new.culturealley.com/index.jsp?courseId=5 . Here the lessons clearly distinguishes between the correct and wrong usage of English.
Embarazada: Looks like “embarrassed” but means “pregnant”.
Actualmente: Looks like “actually” but means “currently”.
Carpeta: Looks like “carpet” but means “folder”.
Librero: Looks like “library” but means “bookcase”.
familiar: Looks like “something known” but means “having to do with one’s family”.
Aprobar : Looks like “approve” but means “to pass, as in an exam”.
Not that kind of gender confusion. While it’s more common for English speaking learners of Spanish to confuse of forget the genders of Spanish nouns, native Spanish speakers often get confused when it comes to words like him, her, because the Spanish pronoun “su” represents both the masculine and the feminine.
There are 70+ lessons which includes a lesson on how the gender pronouns differ in English and Spanish. English speaking learners of Spanish can learn it by taking up free lessons on http://new.culturealley.com/index.jsp?courseId=5.
Adding an “e” sound before words that begin with “s”. For example, a Spanish speaker would pronounce “special” as “especial”.
Pronouncing a “y” as a “j”. For example, a Spaniard may say “jam” when reading the word “yam”.
Pronouncing a “j” as an “h”. For examples, a student might pronounce the name “Jerry” as “Herry”.
But now you can save yourself from making such mistakes! Learn English vocabulary while browsing your own Facebook newsfeed with CultureAlley – and listen to native English pronunciations. A few words and phrases from your own Facebook conversations are converted into English – you can listen to them, play games on them, practice accent, and more!
Shortened contractions present another common pronunciation challenge. Native Spanish speakers will often forget to finish a contraction, resulting in “don” for “don’t” or “won” for “won’t.” What might at first sound like an accent difference will become more pronounced over time, so native Spanish speakers should be on the lookout for this one!
“I need to do my bed” instead of “I need to make my bed”.
In Spanish, the noun generally comes before the adjective, while in English it is usually the opposite. In English that sentence construction would look something like “He had a dog brown.” So don’t be surprised when native Spanish speakers add the adjective as an afterthought.
With CultureAlley get over 70+ free audio-visual lessons to build your basic concepts on how and where to put the adjectives and nouns in the sentence in English.
Native Spanish speakers often pronounce these two words the same so, in writing, tend to stick with “this,” leaving poor “these” for advanced learners.
In Spanish, words are spelled exactly how they sound. They don’t have any of this “silent letter” found in English, nor do they have words that sound exactly the same but can be spelled three different ways. (We’re looking at you “buy/bye/by”).
You will definitely not make spelling mistakes after learning with CultureAlley as after each lesson, rigorous practice exercises through fun games have been scheduled for the users to master what they have learnt.

As a freelance writer, you have the ability to work from home and command a fair pay rate. You will have an even better chance if you are an English native with a fast typing speed. If you aren’t certain the quality standard you need to meet, look up a few random articles on WiseGeek.com and get an idea on the level of grammar, spelling, and vocabulary.
Eliminate that pay ceiling and focus on high quality clients only.
With that said, here are five ways you can quickly improve and work towards those higher-level clients.
1) Scavenge through freelance writing forums.
Forums like WAHM and Warrior Forum are very helpful for newbies. They provide general information on how to start a home business, how to build an Internet business, and how anyone can make money on the Internet from home.
For writing-specific information, the forum includes an entire section dedicated to writers. You can also find information on copywriting, if you don’t have a particular interest in the style of most online articles, blog posts, reviews, and etc., as that’s what you would typically be writing.
You can find links to quality content mills that are reviewed by actual writers and you get a chance to jump on overflow work from a successful writer on the board.
2) Apply to popular freelance writing companies.
There are many writing businesses that hire freelance writers. Some examples include Copify, HireWriters, and TextBroker. While some are merely content mills, others are more marketplace-based and help to build a relationship between the client and writer. This interaction is invaluable as it allows both individuals to be on the same page with each project that’s taken. Plus, it can lead to private work being requested by the client at a later date.
3) Build a portfolio of samples for prospective clients.
If you’re new, you should want to get some experience right out the gate. Signing up at a few freelance writing companies may take some time as they require unique samples, but you can add these to your portfolio.
Make sure to only use your highest quality work for samples. Many writers get paid varying amounts by project and their work quality tends to mimic that. Take the time to create a few masterpieces and showcase them in your portfolio; the big spike in potential job leads will make it well worth the effort.
4) Get published work under your name.
Building a portfolio isn’t just about having a few great samples to attach with a job application. It’s a matter of having live samples to provide. This is the most solid proof of your work. An SEO company shows their strength by dominating the search results for very competitive keywords. This is usually shown in the keyword rankings for their company website.
The same is true with writing work; it’s hard to appreciate what an individual can create if there are no published pieces to publicly testify to the individual’s work quality.
The most important thing is to stay motivated. As a beginner, you may spend most of your time looking for work. You may even be wasting a lot of time looking for actual workplaces. After a while, you will start to do more work and you will get the hang of things. Finding jobs will be more systematic than anything.
You will get used to quality clients coming and going, big projects randomly showing up, and you will learn to love the work from home roller coaster!

Underlining terror camps and training in Pakistan, Singh said that infiltrators attempt to enter India in large numbers to attack the country.
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday said that Pakistan has been perpetrating terrorist activities on Indian soil from Jammu and Kashmir to Punjab. Singh said recent terror incidents in Punjab indicate concerted efforts on part of the Pakistan establishment and Sikh extremist elements based in Pakistan to revive terrorism in the border state with active support from Sikh radical and extremist entities based abroad, especially Europe and America.
Inaugurating the annual conference of Directors General and Inspectors General of Police at the site of the tallest statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in Gujarat, the home minister said the Pakistan establishment is seeking to forge an alliance between the Sikh extremist groups, their country’s Islamist outfits and Kashmir-focused terrorists to hurt Indian interests. “Pakistan establishment is seeking to forge an understanding between Sikh extremist groups and Pakistan-based Islamist outfits as well as Kashmir-centric terrorist groups for targeting Indian interests,” PTI quoted Singh as saying.
The home minister asked the security establishment to check efforts to revive terrorism in Punjab.
In Punjab, recent terror incidents and related interdictions indicate concerted efforts on part of Pak-establishment and Sikh extremist elements based in Pakistan to revive terrorism in Punjab with active support of radical entities based abroad, especially Europe & America.
Underlining terror camps and training in Pakistan, Singh said that infiltrators attempt to enter India in large numbers to attack the country. “Attempts by militants to infiltrate in large numbers, intermittent attacks and efforts at local recruitment continue. Terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK remains in the form of training camps, launching pads and communication control stations,” Singh said. He added that security situation in the hinterland and in Jammu and Kashmir continues to be vitiated even though stone pelting incidents have declined.
Singh added that Pakistan continues to abet terrorism and during the period January 1, 2017 to November 29, 2018, as many as 17 ISI-backed espionage modules have been neutralised in the country resulting in the arrest of 25 espionage agents, in which two were Pakistanis.
The inaugural day of the three-day event focussed on discussions ranging from the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, Northeast insurgency, Left Wing Extremism, and civil policing. The event is being held at the Statue of Unity site at Kevadiya, in Gujarat’s Narmada district.
The nine sessions of the three-day conference will see discussions on issues such as militancy in J&K, radicalisation of youths, cross-border terrorism, the Maoist situation, the situation in the Northeast and communal clashes and communally sensitive news being circulated through social media.
The annual conference has been organised outside Delhi for the last four years – in Guwahati, Rann of Kutch, Hyderabad and Gwalior, respectively.

Make your own pie dough and pass on the store-bought stuff with this foolproof recipe. The milk adds a little more fat and makes rolling out the dough much simpler. From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).
1. In a large bowl or in the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the butter and cut in or pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. (To "cut in" means to mix cold fat such as butter with dry ingredients to form small pieces.) Pour in the milk. Combine just until the dough holds together in a ball.
2. Turn the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and lift the sides toward the middle to press them together. Cut the dough in half. Form each piece into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. If the dough has been refrigerated in advance, remove 15 minutes before using.
I use salted butter, so I omitted the salt. Butter adds flavor, milk adds flavor, time in fridge helps the flour absorb the liquid. I freeze my butter, then grate it for fast easy incorporating into the flour.
I used this recipe to make my first pie from scratch. It was a good recipe for a first timer.
I love this dough, I also use it to make cinnamon twist an other treats people love them. But the best is the apple pie. Thanks Martha I cook so much better.
So good and so dependable! I have used it numerous times with great success. The milk increases the flexibility of the dough and adds to the flavor. Try it! You will be surprised at how easy and reliable it is!
I had to use salted butter, adj down the added salt and couldn't add but 1/4 c milk or dough would have been too wet to handle. Rolled out nicely.
After watching the video I understand why the milk. Years ago my mom asked the owner of a local cafe how to make his pie dough, he said his secret was milk.
This makes a wonderful and nearly indestructable dough. I have used these proportions to make pie crust for many years and it has never failed. No frills, just good pie. It really is best to keep it simple!

Morning Ethics Warm-Up, 4/28/18: Ingratitude, Dishonesty, Hypocrisy, Speech Suppression And Character Assassination…Is This A Great Country, Or What?
1. An especially despicable example of airbrushing history. It’s done. Yawkey Way, the street bordering Boston’s iconic Fenway Park that was renamed in honor of the owner of the Red Sox and the park following his death in 1977, has been returned to its old name of Jersey Street. The team petitioned for the change, an example of ingratitude and willful betrayal seldom seen in a public institution. A rough equivalent would be the University of Virginia banning the name of Thomas Jefferson. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Boston Red Sox franchise owes it esteemed (and profitable) status in Boston’s culture to Tom Yawkey, who owned the team for almost half a century. He has a plaque in baseball’s Hall of Fame, too. But Yawkey, who was born in the 19th Century was a man of his time, and was late accepting the need to integrate baseball, like every other baseball team owner until 1947, when the Dodgers broke the color line. By the final decade of Yawkee’s ownership, he had certainly learned his lesson: his team had the longest stretch of excellence since Babe Ruth was sold, led by such black stars as George Scott, Reggie Smith, Jim Rice, Cecil Cooper, and Luis Tiant.
Never mind. Last year, Orioles centerfielder Adam Jones triggered a public relations crisis for the team when he claimed that he had heard racial slurs from some fans in the centerfield bleachers. (I don’t doubt him.) The easy solution was to throw Tom Yawkey’s memory under the metaphorical bus, since purging his name (his wife, Jean Yawkey, also owned the team after her husband’s death) from the franchise he built. It proves that John Henry is “woke,” you see.How cynical and cowardly.
Over the weekend, J. E. Houghton contributed this excellent comment, spurred by Chelsea Clinton’s semi-incoherent declaration that seemed to admit that her mother was determined to reduce the Second Amendment right to bear arms to a nullity.
I apologize to J.E. for posting it as a main post later than I intended, though I am now glad I did. Chelsea’s inartful utterance confirmed what anyone paying attention already knows, but that is still a small minority of the public: the only way anti-gun politicians can achieve the progressive nirvana alluded to by their rhetoric where there is no gun violence except when the government inflicts it is to make self-defense unavailable to the average American. It is important to emphasize what is wrong—as in unethical, undemocratic, unconstitutional, anti-autonomy and totalitarian—about this seductive and sinister position, and as attention on topics here tends to be fleeting, it’s good to have the topic exposed for another week.
Here is J. E. Houghton’s Comment of the Day on the post, Unethical Quote Of The Week: Chelsea Clinton.
I have been interested in the 2nd Amendment debate for over a quarter of a century. In the early days, I honestly believed that there were good points on both sides of a reasonable debate both consistent with the idea that the 2nd Amendment is a fundamental individual civil liberty.
At some point in time, I concluded that there was a certain faction of political thinking that had no interest in an honest debate at all. But rather, this political faction was in fact a political elite that feared the political power of the American people and especially their potential “last ditch” power of armed insurrection if things got too far gone.

I am trying to build a model of a specific ride-on mower with Lego and I cannot find a satisfying solution for the wheels supporting the mowing unit.
Note that the bottom of the wheel is below the bottom line of the unit that it supports.
the construction is not very robust.
Thus my question is: What other part or combination of parts could I use to emulate this wheel? I prefer if the required parts are easily available in red, but I appreciate other suggestions as well, as I may have missed something that I can do with the parts at hand.
My first thought would be to try and build this using 2x 32017 - Technic Liftarm 5 Thin and the following combination of a 1/2 bush and a tire (same tire you have on the wheel on the black part of your build, though the front tire might fit too).
If you use a 2L axle (in red!) this should look quite sleek. Not sure if the tire is going to be tall enough to support the mower, but it would definitely be sturdy, given that you're using Technic.

When the Utah Legislature convenes next week, some members say they plan to "repeal and replace" a voter-approved proposition to fully expand Medicaid in the state.
Utah voters approved a ballot measure last year to enact full Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, bringing health care to 100,000 lower-income residents.
But that isn't the last word. A bloc of conservative state lawmakers, saying there isn't enough money to pay for the expansion, are looking to "repeal and replace" Proposition 3 with a less-ambitious plan.
While the state Constitution allows lawmakers to make changes to ballot initiatives, Chase Thomas, executive director of the progressive group Alliance for a Better Utah, said this alternative plan seems designed to thwart the will of the voters.
"We understand small changes, to implement the propositions into existing law and also just to make them feasible," he said. "What we don't support are changes that implement new policy or change the policy desires of the people."
Thomas said legislators trying to limit the the Medicaid expansion are the same ones who have blocked it in the past. Their claim is that Prop 3 won't generate enough revenue for the program, but Thomas pointed to hundreds of millions of dollars in the state's surplus fund. Conservatives had proposed limited Medicaid expansion, contingent on federal officials granting the state a waiver, which it has failed to get.
According to Thomas, a bill expected in the upcoming session would drop Medicaid eligibility rates from 138 percent to 100 percent of the federal poverty level, add a work requirement for many people and extend the launch date well past April 1.
"Medicaid expansion, as we all know, is not a new discussion," he said. "It's been around for six years now, and they have been worried about costs. But the people wanted full Medicaid expansion, and they even increased taxes on themselves to fund it."
Under Utah law, Thomas said, ballot propositions can be modified or even repealed by the Legislature but at lawmakers' political peril. He said Utah voters bypassed lawmakers on three progressive issues this past November.
"We had medical marijuana, Medicaid expansion and redistricting reform all on the ballot, and they've been coming up in the Legislature every single year for the past four to six years," he said. "It's just these high-profile progressive issues where the public wants to move faster than the Legislature's willing to do."
The new General Session starts on Monday.
Information on Prop 3 is online at ballotpedia.org.

1. Spot arrays can improve quantification and allow for dense multiplexing.
There is a growing requirement in point of need diagnostics for the generation of assays that can detect more than one analyte in a single device. In a standard configuration, this means dispensing multiple lines perpendicular to the flow direction, separated by distances of 1 or more millimeters. A typical issue seen in multiplexed assays of this nature is “line bleed.” This condition occurs when the signal generated on one line merges with the next line resulting in the formation of background in the device, which lowers the sensitivity of the assay and can result in false positives.
Quantification in multiplexed assays is even more difficult due to the fact that the dynamics varies from assay to assay depending on their location on the strip. Lateral flow assays are extremely time sensitive assays. The reaction begins as soon as the sample and conjugate mix in the conjugate or sample pad. The mixing continues during migration through the device to the test and control lines. The reaction at the test line occurs quickly, typically in less than 30 seconds. The flow rate of the reactants through the device can be extremely important to the performance of the assay. Flow rate through an analytical membrane, typically nitrocellulose decreases in a non-linear fashion with distance from the origin. As a result, the time taken for the reaction on first capture line versus the last capture line can be significantly different. This has implications for the ability to generate quantitative assays in multiplexed formats. These issues can be overcome by using spot arrays in lateral flow fields rather than lines.
One of the most powerful potential applications of the SymbolicsTM lateral flow arraying process is the generation of multiplexed arrays for different analytes on a single strip with the added power of generating internal controls and replicates. This approach brings huge potential to increase the power of the lateral flow format.
2. Spot arrays allow us to generate alpha-numerical symbols instead of lines.
The formation of letters, symbols and lines in any orientation other than perpendicular to the direction of flow in a lateral flow assay is made difficult by the dynamics of flow and conjugate binding in the strip. However, these difficulties can be demonstrably overcome by pixelating the dispensed reagents into individual small dots, spaced appropriately.
The patented SymbolicsTM technology that we use at DCN is based on the concept of the pixilation of reagents on the analytical membrane in a fashion that allows for the even development of each pixel. This appears, at first glance, to be a rather simple concept similar to dot matrix printing. The issue in lateral flow however, is that the formation of one feature in a flow path causes flow perturbations in the system that prevents the even formation of features behind it, or at least that is the general understanding. The key to the pixilation approach is in the controlled dispensing of the reagent spots for size and pitch (the center-to-center distance between spots in any axis). These factors must be balanced for each reagent based on the binding characteristics of the reagents. When well optimized and controlled, it is possible to position individual spots of the correct size and pitch in the flow path of a lateral flow assay in such a way that each feature develops evenly and, most importantly, does not prevent the development of the other features surrounding it. With even development of individual features, it becomes possible to reproducibly build larger patterns in a lateral flow field.
The shift to a spot array based process, which effectively represents a digital approach to feature creation in lateral flow fields, will represent a major shift in thinking for lateral flow developers and manufacturers. In latter years, there has been a growing awareness of the capability of the lateral flow system in diverse markets, from commercial applications that have a requirement for simplicity in use and interpretation, to very highly specified quantitative and multiplexed biomarker panels. Although these applications require high performance from the assays, they are produced using relatively standard, although highly controlled processes. SymbolicsTM technology takes the requirement for process control to the next level, melding the lessons acquired in years of protein array development with the high speed, high throughput manufacturing approaches used in standard lateral flow production. Manufacturers will have some mental hurdles to cross in adopting this technology, as will assay developers. However, the potential application advantage that SymbolicsTM can bring is huge.
The first challenges will come in optimization. As mentioned previously, the key to even macro feature generation is the ability to develop micro features in the flow field that do not perturb the flow of liquid and conjugate and prevent even formation of the next feature in the pathway. The ability to do this depends on the size of the micro feature and the distance between the features, but also the binding affinity of the reagents. Each reagent therefore requires some optimization for feature size, reagent concentration and feature spacing. In most lateral flow applications, when screening for reagents, the focus tends to be on isolating antibodies with high on-rates (Kon). This remains true for SymbolicsTM. Features are small, so reagent on-rates must be high to ensure adequate sensitivity. Balancing that, the small size of the features means that it may be possible to reduce the amount of binding reagent significantly, resulting in savings in reagent costs. Materials must likewise be carefully specified and screened in order to best optimize performance in the SymbolicsTM format, however this is not significantly different to a standard lateral flow approach. Overall, the development approach is similar between the SymbolicsTM format and the standard lateral flow format. The major difference between the approach to optimization, development and manufacturing of the SymbolicsTM format is in the dispensing of capture reagents. Optimization and manufacturing requires high quality, precision dispensing systems, and levels of process control that are not typical in standard lateral flow applications.
Lateral flow is a continuously evolving format. Multiplexing is an obvious evolutionary step, allowing for a whole new swathe of potential applications. However, applications being considered should be carefully researched in terms of market need, regulatory complexity, reimbursement conditions as well as for the appropriate technical assay architecture and format to pursue.
As such, this approach provides a means to differentiate products, improve performance and to give end users an improved, intuitive and less error-prone experience.

This article demonstrates a new approach for nonlinear finite element analysis. The methodology is very suitable and gives very accurate results in linear as well as in nonlinear range of the material behavior. Proposed methodology can be regarded as stress based finite element analysis as it is required to define the stress distribution within the structural body with structural idealization and modelling assumptions. The methodology eliminates the lengthy and tedious procedure of step by step and then iterative procedure adopted classically for nonlinear analysis problems. One dimensional problem of a simple bar loaded axially is solved to formulate the basic principles. Two dimensional problem of a cantilever beam bending and a torsional problem are solved for further demonstrating and strengthening the method. Results of torsional problem are verified with experimental results. The method is applicable for material nonlinear analysis only.

Are You Looking For Cheap Brand Jackets? Purchase This G-Star Raw Whistler Here.
This winter has started fooling us with enviable temperatures, and that has led to many not bought in his day clothes for when the thermometers refuse to rise 5 degrees, which is what is happening in most of the peninsula now. But well, it’s never late, so you’re still in time to get this jacket G-Star Raw Whistler has available to you at Amazon Spain from only 109.95 EUR.
As I have already commented on a post a little while ago, there are occasions in which Amazon prices vary depending on the size and the color. This time happens, so you’ll find sizes to 106.60 Euro, but the vast majority are to 109.95 euro. In either case the savings with respect to their recommended retail price is important because on theofficial website of G-Star , you’ll see that it costs 199.95 EUR, which is the same as brand Asos or Zalando, and while in the latter they have applied a small discount, no less than the 119.95 euros.
The color you have discounted prices that you indicated previously is black. It’s a short Jacket by hip and type feathers, although its composition is 100% polyamide.Both hip and fists incorporates elastic to avoid the cold brew, and has a removable hood, so besides for the cold days, it will be suitable for rain according to WRITINGLES.COM.
If you look at the comments of people who have already purchased it, you will see that there is 2, the first of them are happy, while the second he claims to be a fake. This is because previously this article was sold and dispatched by external, who can be that it was not entirely legal. It is currently sold and shipped by Amazon, so there is no doubt that it is the original article.
In short, a jacket of quality brand, which will be with the vast majority of casual clothes from your closet, and will get that much match these cold winter days. In addition, shipping and the return are free, since it more than €29 of purchase, so don’t be afraid to not hit with carving or to not so much like as you expect, because in either case, you will only have to devote a couple of minutes to manage the return and you’ve lost nothing.

How many pills should I start with?
We recommend starting with a light dose after each meal before or after exercise. Start with 1 pill after a meal or snack and if you feel no flushing effects then you may up dosage after your next meal. Taking on a empty stomach will MAXIMIZE flushing effect for those sensitive to Niacin. Also when Taking CREATE 38 ATP you will be metabolizing your body's fuels at a faster rate. This means your body will be at a slightly warmer temperature. Make sure to stay hydrated with a good clean water source.
What is the minimum effective dose?
Even If you only take one capsule a day you still benefit from the formula. So experiment to see what best fits your lifestyle.
For maximum results what dose do you recommend?
For Maximum results we recommend start with one pill three times a day. After breakfast, lunch and dinner. You should up the dose one pill each serving until you find your Maximum effective dose. We have some customers that take up to six capsules after each meal. Thats 18 capsules a day. PLEASE note that they didn't start out with that the built up to this.
What is this flushing effect I am reading about on the label?
Our formula contains niacin (Vitamin B3), which causes the blood vessels to dilate near the surface of the skin. This aids in delivering the formula into the bloodstream and where it needs to go. In doing this, it may possibly result in a warmish/hot, tingling sensation accompanied by a red flushing of the skin. Many people actually enjoy this experience, as CREATE 38 Teammate Carson Klein likes to say, "let's get fired up!" If you find the flushing experience undesirable you can always help avoid it by taking CREATE 38 ATP with more food or reducing your dosage. After a few days you will begin to build a slight tolerance, making the flushing effects less noticeable, but not making the CREATE 38 ATP any less effective!
What are the best foods to take with CREATE 38 ATP if I want to avoid the flushing effects?
Lean proteins and healthy fats seem to work best in reducing those sensitive to the flushing effects of niacin. We have found that protein from eggs do not seem to be very effective at avoiding a flush. We discovered however that solid foods tend to work best. Additionally, the pyruvates found in apples and pears work well with niacin and can help reducing flushing effects when taking CREATE 38 ATP with lighter meals.
If I do experience flushing, tingle or redness how long will it last?
The redness and flushing usually will only last 20-30 minutes. In some unusual cases it may last a bit longer than that but not likely. It is not harmful in any way and will subside.
My urine is bright gatorade yellow is that ok?
Yes...everything in the formula is water soluable so you will flush out what you don't use.
Do I need to reduce dosage if my urine continues to be bright yellow?
No... There are still Vitamins, minerals and cell salts that your body is utilizing while flushing out unused portions of others. Just continue to drink plenty of water.
What should I notice after I start taking CREATE 38 ATP?
Since CREATE 38 ATP is not a thermogenic, and there are no stimulates in our formula, therefore you will not a get a jitter "rush" of energy. However as you move through your day, you should notice a even keel sustained energy, mental clarity and stamina. At the point when you would usually begin to dwindle, you will find yourself smiling at the fact that you want to keep going.
Can I take CREATE 38 with my other supplements?

James Hollis recounted a story of a man searching frantically for his lost keys under the light of a lamppost. A passerby attempted to help by asking, “Is this where you dropped them?” The searching man replied, “No, I lost them in the dark, but this is the only place where the light is.” What is it about darkness that makes it so difficult to enter?
Everyone has a shadow. Remember, in order to have basic childhood needs fulfilled, you had to overuse or underuse certain traits, beliefs and feelings. If your persona proudly shows its qualities publicly, then your shadow hides opposite yet important traits.
This dualistic nature protects the ego and establishes subsequent coping mechanism. This psychic division is no doubt reinforced by the Judeo-Christian doctrine that is based on the absolute value of good.
Another signal that shadow material is present occurs when you deny, minimize or justify your behaviour. You may say, “I never lie” or “I’m not like that.” Remember, you are born complete with all qualities and with both poles of opposing traits; however, taking ownership of these qualities is another matter. Notice the characteristics you have difficulty accepting, even in small amounts or in certain situations.
Shadow material is also exposed through projection. Projection occurs when qualities that you cannot admit in yourself are placed onto other people; for example, if you value a strong work ethic then you may find yourself repeatedly complaining about a co-worker’s lack of dedication. Look for the presence of shadow qualities whenever strong emotions surface regarding another person.
When you face yουr shadowy elements this humanizes you, allowing you to be more compassionate and accepting of yourself and others. So, when looking for your lost keys, will you step into the darkness?

The Firefly II Quickdraw is Cypher's lightest draw designed for trad climbers and alpinists. This compact quickdraw takes up little space on your trad rack, and the wire gate carabiner clips into stoppers and pitons gracefully. The other wire gate carabiner has a rubber retainer to stabilize the biner while clipping ropes. A superlight and strong Dyneema dogbone holds these carabiners together for seasons of sending.
These were the first draws I purchased for myself. They are much lighter than most of the draws my friends have, and the length helps reduce rope drag. I've taken some falls on them and made top rope anchors with them with no problems. I see them being part of my sport rack for quite a while!
Taken a few whippers on these draws - they are super light and make great draws for a trad rack!

Doctor Torg is out and about again, so Matt and Crankshaft decided to catch up on answering questions. They also try a new method of recording that might still need a little polish.
Sorry to say, but this week Doctor Torg is out of comission, too much tainted molerat meat, we've all been there. Elsa is very dissapointed, and can you blame her? That means it is up to Matt and Crankshaft to welcome their guest this week, Dronnie! Dronnie recently left the train that circumnavigates the globe to stretch his legs after a 32 year long trip, and he showed up just in time to watch a Disney movie that is positively a diamond in the rough. That's right, the Disney classic So Dear To My Heart. The classic tale of a boy and his sheep. Trust me, if you haven't already watched it, it is definitely worth a watch, especially because it make the commentary at the end even better.
This week absolutely nothing is out of the ordinary. Occasionally Melody time gets mentioned, but it's pretty much just business as usual.
This week the vault dwellers are visited by the self appointed Elsa, a student at the university, and Doctor Torg's biggest fan. Who knew? They watch the two part movie Fun and Fancy Free. The first half of the film is about Bongo the Bear, who grew up in the circus, but now must try to survive in the wild and use the skills he has aquired performing to make his mark, all the while being literally hit on by a girl bear. We've all been there right? The second story is that of Jack and Beanstalk, but with the classic trio of Donald, Goofy, and Mickey. They learn a little more about package films and try not to explore what may or may not have been some tension.
This week the Vault Dwellers tackle a pretty divisive film; Song of the South. They handle this movie with all of the poise and professionalism that you have come to expect from them. This week they are joined by somebody who can help them empathize with other people Cordon Blue, a fan of the Raiders of Oakland. They share their thoughts on the movie and learn about the raider nation from somebody on the inside.
This week the vault dwellers meet one of largest and friendliest of the wastelanders, Delilah the enormous bear! She is a ravenous hunter, and her prey is... an education. Well, she is in luck, because the movie this week is Make Mine Music, which is like 4 movies in one. Together they talk about hat based stockholm syndromes and whether or not Heaven is closed for good. Trust me, most of it will make sense.
This week the vault welcomes royalty... kind of. In the aftermath of X-Mas The king of New New Zealand joins the vault crew to watch The Three Caballeros, which turns out to be a really strange movie. They learn about what is going on with New New Zealand, and find out just how heavy is the head that wears the crown. Or, there might have been a gas leak. Hard to say.
This week Matt learns about the wasteland Decemember holiday of choice X-MAS! (Insert sweet metal guitar riff here) It's a no holds barred bloodsport that draws crowds from all over the wastes. Needless to say Crankshaft is getting into the holiday spirit. They watch the little known but historically interesting interesting movie Victory Through Air Power, a Disney feature about both the history of manpowered flight and the need for more air power in World War Two, there are mixed reviews. Also, no guest this week, just the regular vault boys. Also if you want to shoot us an email the email addess is VaultA113@gmail.com.
This week the vault is visited by Maggie, a wasteland aristocrat who loves shiny things, and hates to be alone. Crankshaft got a new arm and Dr. Torg tries deperately to impress their guest. Matt... probably did stuff too. The movie this week is Saludos Amigos, a semi animated look at life in South America. It raised some interesting points, but it also exposes Dr. Torg's deep disdain for ducks. Will the airplane make it over the mountain? Does Donald survive falling off of a broken suspension bridge? Does Goofy do something, well, goofy? You'll have to tune in and find out on Vault A113!
It's the year 2512 and Matt, a recently thawed P.A. is coming to terms with his new living arrangement by watching his way through the entire Disney filmography. This week we are joined by Gafunkle, a sentient and adorable plush hedgehog, and boy does this toy have a story to tell... I think I'm getting ahead of myself. He joins the Vault Crew as they watch the classic tale of Bambi. I think more things happen on this episode of the podcast than in the actual film, but that's just me.

You’re driving along the road and see a car in front of you swerving, even gliding toward the edge of the road. But it’s the middle of the afternoon. Isn’t it too early for a drunken driver? Probably not. But this may very well be an equally dangerous type of motorist -- the drowsy driver.
Chances are, you’re at risk of being a drowsy driver. Say you haven’t gotten a full eight hours of sleep for a few nights in a row, or you’ve had a stressful week at work. If you get behind the wheel, you could be an accident waiting to happen.
Drowsy driving doesn’t grab headlines like drunken driving does, but it’s a serious problem nonetheless. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nearly 100,000 crashes reported to police every year are caused by drowsy driving, resulting in 71,000 injuries and 1,550 deaths.
It may sound far-fetched to think all these accidents are caused by tired drivers, but in some respects, drowsy driving is very much like drunken driving. A driver is considered legally drunk with a blood-alcohol level of at least 0.08 percent. A driver who has gone a day without sleep reacts similarly to a driver with a blood-alcohol level of 0.10 percent, which is above the legal limit.
In a 2010 study from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, two out of every five drivers surveyed acknowledged having fallen asleep or nodded off while driving at some point in their lives, and 11 percent of those say they did so within the past year.
• Men were 61 percent more likely than women to have been drowsy drivers.
• Drivers under age 25 were 78 percent more likely than those over age 40 to be regular drowsy drivers.
• Drivers traveling alone were 81 percent more likely to nod off behind the wheel.
Drowsy driving crashes can occur at any time of the day. The AAA Foundation’s driver survey found that an equal number of drivers said they’d nodded off while driving between noon and 5 p.m. as between the wee hours of midnight and 6 a.m. While nighttime crashes that fall into the official "drowsy driving" category occur at twice the rate of those in the afternoon, AAA Foundation spokesman Dan Bleier says the number of daytime crashes may be underestimated.
“If drivers who crash during the day are less aware of their fatigue than the drivers who crash at night, then daytime crashes involving drowsiness could be more likely than nighttime crashes to be misclassified,” Bleier says.
More than half of drowsy driving crashes involve a single car that swerved in its lane or moved entirely out of its lane. Overall, 17 percent of fatal crashes involve a drowsy driver, the AAA Foundation reports.
• You have difficulty focusing on road hazards and react slowly to them.
• You’re nodding your head or blinking excessively.
• You have to turn up the radio or roll down a window to help concentrate.
• You’re drifting out of your lane or tailgating the car ahead of you.
• You’re missing exits and not able to read road signs clearly.
While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that driver fatigue results in $12.5 billion in monetary losses, there’s no breakdown of what drowsy driving-related crashes cost in terms of auto insurance and medical bills.
Unlike drunken driving, "this is not an issue that is easy to track,” says Steve Witmer, a spokesman for American Family Insurance.
That’s partly because police reports don’t specify what role drowsy driving plays in a car accident. Every state addresses fatigue and sleepiness in some way on its standard forms for accident reports, but the classification of drowsy driving remains inconsistent.
So your rates won’t automatically go up if drive long distances, feel the weight of a stressful workload or have some other factor that could lead to drowsy driving. However, your rates will go up if those factors cause you to get into an auto accident.
While every state has laws against drunken driving, only one state -- New Jersey -- has a law that prohibits motorists from driving while sleep-impaired. If he or she causes a traffic death, a drowsy driver in New Jersey can be prosecuted for vehicular homicide.
Automakers are taking the biggest steps to combat drowsy driving. The 2010 Toyota Prius and Lexus LS 600h offer a “Pre-Collision System” that uses an infrared camera to see whether the driver is looking forward when obstacles arise on the road, and if he is not, it flashes a red light and tugs on the driver’s seatbelt. Volvo offers a similar monitoring camera and alert system on its XC60 SUV. The 2010 Mercedes E-Class sedan features an Attention Assist system that detects driver fatigue and sounds an alert when the driver isn’t steering correctly in his lane.
But for now, these new alerts are available only with a few models and as optional packages that cost an extra $1,000 to $2,000. Furthermore, you’re not guaranteed safety discounts from your auto insurer for having these tools.
So for now, it’s up to you to avoid drowsy drivers on the road -- and to avoid being one yourself.
If you don't have high-tech innovations at your disposal, what should you do if you suspect you're a drowsy driver?
• Pull off the road for a nap.
• Drink coffee or a caffeinated beverage.
• Get out of the car to take a walk or exercise.
• Stop driving and get a full eight hours of sleep.

Governor Baker and Lieutenant Governor Polito are declaring October 22 - 26, 2018, "STEM Week" in the Commonwealth. The Baker-Polito Administration is focusing on promoting STEM education because studies have shown that over the next 10 years, U.S. industries will need one million more STEM graduates than our nation's education system will generate.
During STEM Week, Burlington High School is hosting a Career Day for students, scheduled for October 25th. This event is part of BHS’s Career Exploration Program, which is designed to help students make informed decisions about their future paths. Through collaboration with community members and organizations, the Career Exploration Program connects students’ current learning with potential occupations, highlighting the skills they need to find success.
Speakers on career day can choose to stay for one session or for both, sessions start at 9:15 A.M and run through 10:45 A.M. We are encouraging parents from all fields to participate. We would also like to expand the number of speakers representing STEM fields and are asking parents to participate as speakers or to recruit colleagues/companies. Our goal is to find 10 companies and 25 STEM speakers.
Please complete this brief interest form to participate.
Whether you choose to participate or make a referral, we appreciate any effort on behalf of our students. Also, for more information on our career exploration efforts at BHS please visit our website and for more information on the Commonwealth's STEM week, visit their website.

The student pilot said there was a mild crosswind on final approach to the airport in Mesquite, Texas. The crosswind “picked up” before the Cessna 172 as it touched down left of centerline.
He retracted the flaps and advanced the throttle to continue the touch-and-go. The airplane continued to drift to the left and the left main landing gear exited the runway onto the grass.
The pilot closed the throttle and elected a straight path in the grass instead of risking an over-correction.
The airplane came to a stop when the nose landing gear collapsed. The firewall sustained substantial damage.
The NTSB determined the probable cause as the student pilot failing to maintain directional control during the touch-and-go landing and during the subsequent aborted takeoff during crosswind conditions.

The national debate over President Bush's secret wiretap program raises other privacy issues. What implications does this have for employer monitoring of employees in the workplace? Many citizens will want to examine the employer's authority under the law to spy on workers. To motivate employee compliance, companies increasingly are putting teeth in their technology policies. Workers have been fired for misuse of the internet. Others have been fired for email misuse. Still others have been fired for misusing office telephones.
Technological advances, such as video cameras, GPs vehicle monitoring systems, and even drug testing have provided employers with superior tools for investigating and gathering evidence of employee misconduct in the workplace. Various federal and state laws limit the extent to which employers may use such technology. These limitations multiply exponentially for employers who have a unionized work force. Therefore, employers need to act cautiously when conducting investigations into employee misconduct, especially in a unionized workplace.

Pennsylvania Congressman Fitzpatrick served in the FBI and says he has full confidence in the U.S. intelligence community. Days ago, GOP Rep. Will Hurd of Texas came to the same conclusion.
A GOP Congressman and former FBI agent says he thinks President Trump was manipulated by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Brian Fitzpatrick told NPR's Michel Martin on All Things Considered that he drew that conclusion after the two leaders appeared in Helsinki.
"The president was manipulated by Vladimir Putin," Fitzpatrick said. "Vladimir Putin is a master manipulator."
The Helsinki summit came days after Special Counsel Robert Mueller issued an indictment for 12 Russian intelligence agents accused of hacking Democratic emails and sowing confusion around the 2016 elections.
Fitzpatrick sits on the House committees on Foreign Affairs and Homeland Security. In his previous role as an FBI special agent, he said he was assigned to Ukraine and worked on counterintelligence, collecting Russian propaganda reports.
He told Martin he was "frankly sickened by the exchange" between Trump and Putin.
The congressman, who represents Pennsylvania's 8th District, said he shared his view with former CIA agent and fellow House Republican Will Hurd of Texas. Hurd wrote recently in The New York Times that Trump "actively participated in a Russian disinformation campaign."
American intelligence agencies have said they are certain Russia meddled in the 2016 elections. Trump appeared to question that conclusion in Helsinki. He has also called an investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller a "witch hunt."
Some Republican leaders have fallen in line with the President. Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio has demanded the Mueller investigation be terminated. The House Intelligence Committee ended its Russia investigation and said it found no evidence of collusion. House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows was seen carrying impeachment papers against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
Others have pushed back. After the Helsinki meeting, House Speaker Paul Ryan issued a statement that read, "There is no question that Russia interfered in our election and continues attempts to undermine democracy here and around the world."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell added, "As I've said repeatedly, the Russians are not our friends and I entirely agree with the assessment of our intelligence community."
Arizona GOP Senator John McCain said, "No prior president has ever abased himself more abjectly before a tyrant."
Fitzpatrick noted to NPR that he has co-sponsored a House bill in support of Mueller's investigation; it was introduced in April but has yet to pass. He noted Sunday that "there's not nearly enough" urgency in the White House regarding Russia's role in the 2016 elections and decried the "mixed signals" sent on the subject by the administration.
"It needs to be accepted as fact by everybody in our government because we need to respond to that reality and it's a significant threat. We cannot let that happen again," Fitzpatrick said.
He pointed out that his constituents are baffled. Fitzpatrick recalled a voter who approached him in a supermarket. "They were just confused about what exactly transpired, what message are we sending," he said.
