The neurons in our brain do not function in isolation; they are organized into complex circuits which perform highly specialized information processing tasks and transfer information through large neuronal networks. The aim of my research group is to better understand how neural circuits function during the transformation of information from sensory perception to behavioural response. Importantly, we also aim to further understand the cell-type specific processes that interrupt the flow of information through neural circuits in epilepsy as well as in neurodegenerative disorders, such as in posterior cortical atrophy and Alzheimer's disease.
The complexity of our behavior depends not only on the staggering number of neurons in the brain, but also on the precise identity of these neurons and the specific connections that they form. A simple reflex response, a complex mental process, and the cognitive decline accompanying dementia are all associated with the generation (or dysfunction) of elaborate spatial and temporal patterns of electrical activity. A vital step in understanding the functional principles of neural circuits is to directly observe the activity of local circuit elements with high temporal and spatial resolution. Two-photon microscopy is increasingly recognized as a crucial tool for these functional investigations; providing insight into how neural circuits encode information and transfer signals throughout various brain regions. My research group utilizes advanced in vivo two-photon microscopy to investigate the cell-type specific microcircuitry of the cerebral cortex as well as the functional circuitry underlying processes of sensory perception and attention in health and in various stages of dementia associated with neurodegeneration.

I teach Blender to kids.  Key display becomes very useful.  However, for starters, we use menus.
The menus provide the structure or groupings that helps the kids learn.  After they've learned a function, then the keyboard shortcuts make them more productive.
Two weeks ago, I had 12 kids in a summer camp (3 hours a day for five days).  I did something new on our first try at box modeling.  I had the kids model a Nerf sword then animate it being thrown.
It seemed to have worked better than any of my previous attempts at teaching the kids to see and think in 3D then add the dimension of time.  Well, at least 11 kids did.  One went home crying!  He could not "see" it.
Yes, it's a take off on the death and destruction theme of video games.  I figure if I can get them "sold", then I can lead them into "hard fun".

In 1880, more than 17,000 people from around the country traveled by train to Mentor, Ohio, to hear James A. Garfield campaign for the presidency from the front porch of his home. The 30-room mansion, known as Lawnfield, is now preserved as the James A. Garfield National Historic Site.
Garfield bought the home in 1876 for his large family, which included five children and his mother. The home has been restored to its 1870-1890 appearance. Original furniture and memorabilia are featured throughout, including Garfield's Civil War equipment, his Congressional desk, the Garfield Presidential China, and a waxed funeral wreath sent by Queen Victoria.
The twentieth President was shot at the train station in Washington, D.C., on July 2, 1881, just four months after his inauguration. Because his tenure as President was so short, he is perhaps better known as a Civil War hero and U.S. congressman. Garfield, like Lincoln, was born in a log cabin and worked his way up to the highest office in the country.
Four years after his assassination, Garfield's wife Lucretia added a wing to the house to accommodate the Memorial Library, the first presidential library. Rather than the usual display of presidential documents, the library contains Garfield's extensive book collection, and in the study is the chair where he would spend nights reading, his leg slung over the arm.
Visitors can explore the visitor center's exhibits, take a guided tour, or watch an 18-minute video on Garfield's life.

The line marking paint and line marking machine from Dy-Mark (Aust) are increasingly being used in various factories and warehouses across Australia to mark off potentially hazardous areas for greater employee safety.
Organisational safety is a serious issue in Australia with over 600,000 work-related injuries being reported in 2009-10 alone. This staggering number raises alarm bells as a majority of these injuries could have been prevented through the strict application of appropriate OH&S procedures.
These alarming statistics have however motivated warehouses and factories to provide their employees with safe working environments by minimising risks at work.
A key part of OH&S procedures involves clearly marking out workspaces, walkways and hazardous areas in the best interest of employee safety.
Dy-Mark’s line marking paints have been specially formulated to provide high wear resistance while continuously delivering excellent durability. Used along with Dy-Mark’s Line Master line marking machines, the line marking paint assists with clearly marking off and identifying hazardous areas, preventing potential workplace accidents.
Smooth, clearly visible and long lasting lines are assured at the workplace with the high quality line marking paints and line marking machines, which assist in creating and maintaining a safe working environment to meet with OH&S requirements.
Dy-Mark is the trusted Australian brand for clearly marking out hazardous areas to ensure a safe working environment.

What is the OPC stance on double predestination?
By the decree of God, for the manifestation of his glory, some men and angels are predestined unto eternal life, and others foreordained to everlasting death.
In other words, God sovereignly ordains the eternal destiny of every human being—the lost as well as the saved. This has sometimes been called "double predestination."
However, a careful study of the Westminster Standards will show that this is never to be understood to say—or even imply—that these are parallel to each other in some symmetrical way (as if every aspect in the one case has a corresponding aspect in the other). In the case of the elect there is a divine intervention called regeneration. This is a sovereign work of God the Holy Spirit whereby a sinner who is spiritually dead is made alive. It is this that enables a sinner to see and enter the Kingdom of God (as Jesus teaches in John 3). In other words, God works in those whom he has chosen to enable them to repent and believe. It follows that all the praise, credit and glory belongs to him alone. It does not belong to the elect sinner who repents and believes. In the case of those who are not elect, however, there is no internal work of God. It is not God who makes them evil. They already are evil. In their case the Word of God only hardens them in their sin. And it is to them alone—and not to God—that the blame therefore must belong for their final reprobation.
There is a God-decreed finality in both the predestination of the elect to eternal life and the foreordination of reprobate to condemnation. But there is no symmetry between them. It was for this very reason that the Westminster Assembly never used the Scriptural term predestination in speaking of the lost, but instead the term foreordination.
Thanks for giving me this opportunity to say something again about this awesome subject.

Area rugs look really fancy, especially when they’re squeaky-clean. However, there would be times of the year when your rugs are likely to end up dirty and stained – sometimes to the point of being too troublesome to wash. Even professionals offering services for rug cleaning in Daytona Beach and nearby communities have to consider a lot of factors to do their job correctly. Then again, don’t lose hope just yet; some stains can be cleaned on the spot using common household solutions fully accessible to anyone. An article from RugsUSA.com enumerates some.
If it’s impossible to catch a spill before it seeps into the fibers of the rug, one can just grab a clean towel and blot all the liquid up. However, do not rub the towel as it will push the stain deeper into the fibers. Wash the stain with soapy water (mix a few drops of clear dishwashing soap with several cups of water). Spray the solution on the stain, and then rinse with warm, clean water.
If the aforementioned methods still don’t work, household liquids like hydrogen peroxide, white vinegar or ammonia are also effective. Hydrogen peroxide is good for stains caused by berries, candy, chocolate, coffee, and red wine; white vinegar is great for alkaline liquid spills like beer; and ammonia is helpful for rug blemishes caused by ketchup, mixed drinks, and cough syrup.
On the other hand, dust, hair, and general dirt are easier to clean. One could use vacuum cleaners to completely take out deep-seated dirt in the rug’s fibers. Like carpets, regular vacuuming is recommended for rugs to keep them spotless as well as to prevent premature wear and tear. If the rug is reversible, vacuum both sides for a thorough clean.
Vacuum cleaners are effective, but they can still leave a lot more behind; most notably, pet hairs. What one can do is scrub off the hair using a brush with stiff bristles, brushing to the direction of the rug’s nap. For smaller rugs, shaking the dirt off is simple and effective, too.
Sometimes, there would be stains and other grime that just won’t budge. This is where companies offering professional rug cleaning in New Smyrna Beach and nearby communities come in. With years of training and experience, they can clean off just about anything when it seems that all hope is lost. Their specialized methods are tried and tested by the industry. For this, there’s just one thing left to be done: experience their services for yourself.

Starring Sissy Spacek, Sam Shepard and Kyle Chandler the series arrives amid heightened competition in streaming TV, with Amazon, Yahoo and others making little secret of their determination to win market share from Netflix and HBO, the network behind Game of Thrones, planning a web-only service this year.
And, while there's no lack of hype around Bloodline, it is perhaps fair to say it does not offer the instant allure of House of Cards or Orange Is The New Black.
Both those Netflix hits came with an easily digestible premise – Kevin Spacey is an evil politician, suburban woman goes to jail, embarks on voyage of self-discovery (with bonus girl-on-girl snogging).
Bloodline, in contrast, is rather murkier – a compelling show, without question, but requiring more upfront investment from the viewer.
With that in mind here is a countdown of essential Bloodline facts to get you started.
1: It Has A Cast To Die For.
Sissy Spacek and Sam Shepard as old money proprietors of a Florida hotel sounds like the set-up for an Oscar-garlanded seventies movie you have yet to get around to seeing. It is a testament to Netflix's rising cachet that it is able to attract performers of such calibre.
2: It's From The People Who Brought You Damages.
In addition to resurrecting the career of Glenn Close, Showtime's Damages was a fascinating experiment in just how much nasty 'mainstream' TV could pack into each episode – with darkly fascinating results. This was compelling television that made you crave a cold shower.
3: Netflix Has HIGH Hopes For It.
While House of Cards and, to an arguably lesser extent, Orange Is The New Black, have commandeered the zeitgeist, not every Netflix property is a guaranteed smash. Who, for instance, would miss perpetually misfiring Steve Van Zandt vehicle Lilyhammer? (Answer: Steve Van Zandt). But in Bloodline Netflix clearly believes it has another straight-up hit. It has sent its cast out to bat for the show and has been relentlessly plugging it in the build-up to its arrival this morning.
4: It's A Family Saga But Not Like Dallas Or Dynasty.
The sprawling family epic fell from fashion at the end of the 80s, circa the revelation that Bobby Ewing's death was merely a dream and the abduction by aliens of the cast of Dynasty spin-off The Colbys (note to younger readers – this actually happened.). Lately, in fact, family drama has been played for humour: see The Royal Family, Shameless, Mrs B****s Boys. Can the self-serious Bloodline make us care once again about families and their dark secrets?
5: It's Made For Binge Watching.
Show-runner Todd Kessler says that, because of Netflix's 'binge-watch' model, Bloodline does not have to hew to the creaky TV convention of each episode ending on a cliff hanger. Even the concept of 'episodes' is a little old hat, he revealed. This is a 13-hour saga, divided into hourly segments yet cohesive and coherent throughout, so that viewers can hopscotch seamlessly from one installment to the next.
6: It's All About Location.
There is a fad in American television for location to serve as a sort of unofficial extra character. Rural Louisiana loomed baroquely in True Detective, for instance and the New Mexico desert imbued Breaking Bad with a whiff of the Apocalypse. In Bloodline, the fetid South Florida Keys, a twilight zone bordering the tropics where people go to escape their safe, suburban lives, conjures a sweltering, slightly manic atmosphere. Without it, Bloodline would be very different.
7: There Are A Lot Of Flashbacks.
Bloodline is about the secrets family members keep from one other and those they share. So there's a great deal of temporal hopping about, with leaps to an awful event of several years previously and premonitions of a disaster chugging down the tracks. It's confusing at times, sure, but endlessly absorbing with it.
8: It Takes A While To Get Going.
House of Cards opened with Frank Underwood snapping a dog's neck. In Orange Is The New Black we were introduced to the two chief protagonists as they groped in the shower. Bloodline, in contrast, is initially short on wham-bam moments. It isn't until episode three that things properly come together. When they do, you'll be glad you persevered.
9: You'll Probably Recognise The Main Star Even If You Don't Know His Name.
That large-headed actor with the pronounced Southern twang? Yes you've seen him before – he was Coach Taylor in Friday Night Lights, Leonardo DiCaprio's nemesis in Wolf Of Wall Street and Ben Affleck's FBI boss in Argo (bonus fanboy points if you remember him as the vain matinee idol from Peter Jackson's King Kong). His name is Kyle Chandler and Bloodline may well be the role of his career.
All 13 episodes of Bloodline season one are available to watch on Netflix now.

Stimulant laxatives. Products such as Correctol, Dulcolax, Ex-Lax, Feen-a-Mint, or Senokot speed up how fast a stool moves through the intestines by irritating the lining of the intestines. Regular use of stimulant laxatives is not recommended. Stimulant laxatives change the tone and feeling in the large intestine and you can become dependent on using laxatives all the time to have a bowel movement.
Regular use of stimulant laxatives-such as Correctol, Dulcolax, Ex-Lax, Feen-a-Mint, or Senokot-may change your body's ability to absorb of vitamin D and calcium. This can cause weakening of your bones (osteopenia).

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 29, 2019) - Sixty North Gold Mining Ltd. (CSE: SXTY) (FSE: 2F4) (OTCQB: SXNTF) (the "Company" or "Sixty North Gold") is pleased to announce that it has engaged Geotech Ltd. to complete a 135 km helicopter-borne VTEMTM plus, time domain electromagnetic and horizontal magnetic gradiometer system. This system will be able to detect weaker conductors characteristic of the low iron sulphide Ag, Au, Pb, Zn mineralization found in outcrop. Massive, semi-massive and disseminated galena, sphalerite, and tetrahedrite has been identified in a new massive sulphide horizon within mixed mafic volcanic, felsic tuff and chert on the Company's Mon Property, 45 km north of Yellowknife, NWT. A 2,500 m long contact of mixed mafic and felsic tuffs referred to as the Nelson Lake Deposit hosts numerous structurally and stratigraphically controlled massive and disseminate sulphides and weakly gossanous schist zones identified in late fall, 2018.
Eight grab samples collected from one of the zones (5656 Zone) over a 150 m strike length averaged 253 gpt silver, 1.61 gpt gold, 2.45% lead and 1.66% zinc. Individual samples returned values of 2.38% Pb, 5.77% Zn, 210.2 gpt Ag, and 0.54 gpt Au and 3.83% Pb, 1.94% Zn, 360.1 gpt Ag, and 2.30 gpt Au. Readers are cautioned that grab samples are by their nature selective and are not necessarily indicative of the mineralization and general geology of the property.
The geophysical survey is expected to define the VMS horizon to enable an optimized drill program planned to be conducted in early 2019. As well, the survey should provide better controls on the large gold-bearing shear zones that are known to exist on the property, enabling prioritizing of drill targets.
John Campbell, Chairman of the Board of Directors reports, "2018 successfully advanced the gold potential of the Mon Property, and identified an exciting new target in the precious metals-rich VMS horizon. The 2,500 m long strike length containing economically interesting grades warrants follow-up. This survey should allow for characterization of each anomaly quickly and efficiently. Our proximity to a hydroelectric powerplant and all-weather roads (25 km and 35 km away respectively) improves the potential of this type of target. We anticipate receiving the results of the survey this spring and to follow-up with diamond drilling as soon as is practical."
All rock grab samples were collected by hand and were located by hand-held GPS and bagged and tagged with certified blanks and standards inserted at 1 in 7 to 1 in 10 intervals. The sample bags were sealed and delivered to Bureau Veritas Laboratories in Yellowknife and processed at their ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and ISO 9001:2015 certified laboratory in Vancouver, B.C. All samples were crushed and pulverized using PRP 70-250, analysed for 53 elements by ICP-MS using AQ251 and fire assay gold FAA 330 with all over limit golds analysed using fire assay gold FAA 550. All samples from the VMS horizon were re-run using MA270 techniques. The laboratory also runs duplicate and repeat analyses of every 15 to 25th sample, as well as internal blanks and standards which are reported to the Company. Bureau Veritas is independent of the Company.
The Company further reports that the brokered flow-through share unit and hard dollar unit offering announced on December 28, 2018 has been closed with no further issuances since that date.

Michael Muchmore Words With Friends (for Windows Phone) Get your word game fix with the biggest hit in the genre in this Windows Phone app.
Same clear design and gameplay as iOS and Android apps. No ads. Player chat.
No free version. No premium plugin tools.
Get your word game fix with the biggest hit in the genre in this Windows Phone app.
I admit it, I'm an addict. Words with Friends has been a daily ritual for me for two years. I'm not as bad as some users, though. I recently tried to start a game with a previous opponent who had exceeded the number of simultaneous games allowed—20. I usually have a comparatively modest four games going on at any time, but my life would be less without them. The mobile crossword-building game gives you a way to keep up with faraway friends, giving your mind a break from whatever other stresses you might have.
The Alec Baldwin plane incident established Words firmly in the culture, and there's no doubt that it's one of those apps a platform needs to have to be a real mobile player. The Windows Phone version doesn't disappoint; in fact it's among the most feature-complete apps I've encountered, compared with its iPhone and Android counterparts. But as I've run into while reviewing other Windows Phone apps, you don't get everything.
You can fully play the game and even chat, but there's just that missing cake icing. In Word's case, it's the lack of extra-cost plugin tools like those for word-suggestion and point-counting. There's an argument that these tools actually make for a worse, less-pure game. Still, it's yet another case where the Windows Phone version lacks something available in the other platforms.
Words with Friends differs from the time-honored Scrabble game from which it draws inspiration in some key ways: Only actual words in the game's dictionary can be played—there's no challenging; the board layout is a bit different, with more triple point spaces; and letters have different values. The asynchronous nature of the game is one of its best features—you can play whenever you're ready. There's no rush—as long as you make a move within 11 days. Here's a blog with a fairly complete list of differences between Scrabble and Words with Friends.
You can get Words with Friends from the Windows Store or from the Games tile's "get more games" link. There's only a paid version, which is pleasantly ad-free. The Windows store allows trial versions, and you can get a free ad-supported version on iOS, but for some reason Zynga doesn't offer a free app for Windows Phone. I installed and tested the app on a spiffy Nokia Lumia 928. Because I'd read some comments on the app's store page about problems with the Nokia Lumia 1020, I installed the game on that phone as well, where it worked without a hitch for me.
No special permissions are requested at installation. I always have trouble remember that games only appear in the Games hub, and not among the full applications list that's a swipe right from the home screen, so don't think you've made a mistake when you don't find Words there.
To start playing, you can sign in with a Facebook account or an email address. You have to be over 13 to play, but really, there's nothing objectionable about the game. Once you've chosen an unused player name, a permission bar asks if you want notifications for when it's your move—a good idea. Then Welcome to Words with Friends appears where you games in progress will later, and tapping this shows you the various ways to find an opponent.
If you tap and hold the game's tile in the game hub and choose "pin to start" the resulting tile will not only give you easy access to the game, but if you have a move to make it will occasionally flip over and indicate that, along with the relevant opponent.
One of Word's nicer characteristics is that you can either play against people you know or someone random across the Internet. After some playtime, it can even match you to people of similar skill levels. To get folks you know, you can find them through Facebook or through your contact list. A final option is to simply use Words as an offline game in which you pass the mobile to the player whose turn it is.
The center of the screen is of course taken up by the game board, you can unpinch or double-tap to zoom into a point on the board for a closer look. At the bottom is your tile tray; shaking the phone or simply tapping the "Shuffle" button rearranges the letters in case you're in need of inspiration.
Gameplay proceeds as in any other incarnation of the app. Form words out of your allotment of letters or swap tiles if you've got a bad batch of all vowels or such. The last play score is shown across the top, and game totals at bottom left, along with the number of remaining letters. If you give up all hope of victory (or don't feel challenged enough by your opponent), you can tap the Resign button.
If you've gone off to do something else, when an opponent makes a move in one of your games, the app blasts a notification bar across the top of your Windows Phone an optionally plays a ding.
The extra-cost goodies I mentioned above (remember? The ones you don't get in this Windows Phone version of the app) include one I do actually use: The Count. This simply tells you how many points you'll get for a play you're considering. Another that I really frown upon is Vision, which proposes three words for you to play. Really? Why bother playing if you're not going to think of your own words? Another extra that I consider a cheat is the Tile Pile tool, which tells you, for example, if there are any Ses remaining. These are just some of the premiums you can't get on the Windows Phone version—and that's fine with a purist like me. Note, however that cross-platform play means you might be wordsmithing against players who do use these add-ons.
The Windows Phone Words with Friends app looks as good as it does on iPhones and Androids.

The journey to the site will take up to 40 min.
A minibus or 4 x 4 cars are advised, as the road faces difficulties in some parts.
Take the road to Libohova that runs east from the main highway south of Gjirokastra. Follow this surfaced road, and then just before the town of Libohova take the left turn along the unpaved road to Suhë. Follow this track, which is generally good, and at the first main junction take the right hand turn and follow this uphill. The road has two branches, which then rejoin again at the top of the hill, in the centre. Labovë e Kryqit is a few kilometres away, after the road regains a paved surface and enters the village.
The church is one of the most interesting monuments in Albania, the church of Labova, which is devoted to Saint Mary. The church of Labova e Kryqit is one of the oldest in Albania and once contained a holy relic believed to be a fragment of the true cross. It was from this relic that the village took its name. The relic was stolen during the civil unrest in the early 1990s. The building is typically Byzantine with a high central cupola with nave and aisles arranged in a cruciform plan. A later narthex provides the principal entrance. There are nine distinct levels of frescos painting on the interior walls. The church that we see today is essentially a creation of the 13th century, during the time of the Despots of Epirus, although an original foundation may go back to AD 527-565 and the reign of Emperor Justinian. The keys are held by the custodian: a local who lives across the street.
No entrance fees applied, but donations and contributions are welcomed.

I confess I didn't like the Safari browser in its earlier versions, nor the fact that iTunes kept pushing it in my face everytime there was an iTunes update. I resisted. Today I've been playing with Safari 4 and I must admit this is a major step forward in speed - compared to Firefox at any rate. As Firefox has added plug-ins, so it becomes terribly buggy - and it is not easy to reboot when it hangs (at least on a Vista 64 machine).
Of course, its too early to dump the others - my bank doesn't recognise Safari, and there are a few useful plug-ins not available yet for Safari. But so far, so good.
I've been playing with a new application just launched on iTunes from French external broadcaster, France 24. It is free on iTunes if you search for France 24 live application. In fact, there's some other stuff if you search for France24, without the space, so perhaps they should standardise on their nomenclature.
claims that FRANCE 24 is the first channel worldwide to pioneer this ground-breaking service. While other stations are launching applications, I haven't seen one to grab live over the air content quite like this. Since the station is global, there are no rights restrictions.
Does it work? Yes, very well. Both the sound and picture look great on an iPod Touch. And its free to download and free to use. Compare that with the NHK World approach which seems to view the web and satellite TV as two completely different worlds.
UPDATE: France 24 announced Feb 24th that its application has now been approved for the 3G networks by Apple, so on the iPhone you now have a choice of accessing the station via 3G or the wifi. Since its launch on the Apple App Store on February 8th 2009, the FRANCE 24 LIVE application has been downloaded more than 100,000 times around the world. Of all the free news applications available on iTunes, FRANCE 24 LIVE ranks among the top 10 worldwide; most notably in the USA, the UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, Israel, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, India, Brazil, etc.
BBC Mobile said at MWC Congress Barcelona last week (Feb 19th) that they have been experimenting with an Apple iPhone ap for radio, but have not released it to the public just yet.

Where does one start? What language do they think it is in now? Is Facebook insulting its users?
We've noted before some of the stupid antics of Sirius XM satellite radio company, especially the wild success claims from the Sirius side before the merger. New York Times is reporting that the satellite radio company is now preparing to seek Chapter 11 protection over the next few days. Whilst this doesn't mean the end, it certainly heralds a reality check. The paper says that Sirius XM has been working with a restructuring specialists on strategies for dealing with $1 billion in debt repayments due this year. It comes as media mogul Charlie Ergen has been buying up shares, fueling speculation of a hostile takeover attempt. Frankly, with all the other options for entertainment in the car, pay radio looks the most vulnerable when times are tough. Pride comes before a huge fall.
It seems that "tens of thousands" of people are already making use of the "Missed the Broadcast" service launched a few weeks ago by Netherlands Public Broadcasting as part of their TestLab. A programme called "De Wereld Draait Door" (Life Goes On) and the NOS News Journal are the most popular on-demand shows and the viewing peak is around 22 hrs local time.
William Valkenburg, Director of Internet Coordination at the NPO said at a congress in Hilversum, Tuesday that their department offers two services, either via a special mobile site or through an application. He expects the service to grow gradually. In January, more than 86,000 streams were requested. The application has been downloaded 15,000 times, and the number of unique users is around 35,000. The application runs on around 362 different models of mobile phone, with a special application for the Blackberry Storm & Bold being launched next week.
The on-line edition of the Dutch-language magazine Emerce is reporting that the ING Bank has done a deal with the Austrian company of Mobilizy which allows you to find the nearest ATM machine on your G1 phone from where you're standing. ING banks are marked on a map with the orange-lion logo of the bank, but other banks are shown too with a generic logo. The app runs on the Google G1 Android mobiles that are starting to roll out here. But playing with it lead me to the Austrian company's demo of what else the software can do. Further down the road I see all kinds of interesting possibilities if broadcasters couple their content databases with apps like this. By pointing the camera in the phone to an object, the device displays any information it knows about what it sees.
Oh dear, it looks like the NHK relaunch was limited to the TV network. The website remains a very distant second to the satellite network. BBC World News, CNN, and France 24 seem to be leading when it comes to web presence and true cross-media thinking. Al Jazeera is advanced when it comes to mobile and web 2.0 apps, but their English language website is very difficult to navigate, especially if you're looking for something by subject rather than by time.
NHK appears to be well behind in all of this - blaming copyright as the reason for not offering their premium service on the web. If it was 1999 I could understand, but ten years on it seems incredible that they haven't sorted it all out. Japan is a world leader when it comes to mobile technology and banking systems. So do they have a chance at being in the same league soon as BBC, CNN, as claimed at the relaunch. Definitely not, judging from this.
NHK World - a few hours to relaunch?
NHK is hoping its relaunch today February 2nd will put it in the same league at BBC World News and CNN. Frankly, the only way they can go at the moment is up, since it is rare to find a service that's so devoid of context. I haven't seen them do live dicussion events - its just newsreaders with autocues linking pieces. The Japanese international TV channel NHK World is to introduce hourly news bulletins in English, starting February 2.
A carriage agreement with Sky Digital in the UK brought the number of homes in which NHK World is available to over 80 million and NHK says they are aiming for 110 million homes by the summer. But they have to fix the website....seriously dull comes to mind. When I checked at midnight Amsterdam time on the 2nd, they were still showing a page which hadn't been updated in 8 hours. I presume the relaunch will be later in the day.
Interesting claim on the Al Jazeera banner ad. Personally, I prefer their satellite TV service. I think France 24 and BBC Global News beat them to it.

Digital skills are vital to being successful in today’s job market - both when looking for work and progressing in the workplace.
These skills prepare people for work-readiness, improve their employment prospects and help unemployed people to look for work. Yet nearly 24% of unemployed people are currently lacking digital skills, meaning that those who stand to benefit the most are still missing out.
1 in 10 people in employment don’t have all of the basic digital skills.
Digital skills and local community support can make a real difference in helping people into the right employment.
Jobseekers are one of the largest groups seeking support at our Online Centres; the introduction of Universal Credit has galvanised a need for basic digital skills and 17% of referrals to our centres come from Jobcentre Plus. However, the help centres offer isn't just confined to Universal Jobmatch. All of our centres support people with a wide-ranging package of support, which may include employment skills, financial management, and wellbeing, according to need.
Learn My Way has plenty of resources too - from the Find a job guide to applying for jobs online - all found in the Jobs and Skills package of free courses.
94% of unemployed Learn My Way learners progress onto employment-related activity.
Universal Credit has been in the news a lot over the last week, so our Social Inclusion Director has been blogging our views.

The modern world is full of different temptations. Unfortunately, the majority of them are harmful. Moreover, despite the wide acknowledgment of risks caused by such habits like alcohol drinking and smoking people are still at their disposal.
It is hard to believe that being used to alcohol or smoking you will achieve any significant results at the gym. However, when the direct impact of drinking on our bodies is obvious, the connection between smoking and bodybuilding still raises a lot of questions.
On the one hand, we have total inhibit of main male hormones on the other "harm just for lungs". Is it really so?
The effect of smoking is undoubtedly harmful to health and adversely affects the results.
A study conducted by scientists at the University of Nottingham found that the activity of the synthesis of muscle proteins in smokers was significantly lower than in non-smokers. Besides, in the body of nicotine lovers, myostatin protein and MAFbx enzyme are much higher. The first of them simply inhibits muscle growth, and the second - splits muscle proteins.
The lethal dose of nicotine is 94 cigarettes at a time (the strength of cigarettes is not indicated).
Tobacco contains more than 4,000 different chemicals that negatively affect the human body. The most harmful substances are nicotine, carbon monoxide, and liquid resin. But this tobacco is natural, grown in an environmentally friendly environment. But if we are talking about cigarettes, which are far from tobacco.
Manufacturers tend to use tobacco production waste - exploded veins and paper production waste. Also, substances such as urea (enhances absorption and dependence), ammonium nitrate (improves burning and access of nicotine to the brain), the resin of unknown origin with all chemistry (nicotine, urea, dyes, and flavors).
Nicotine effect: Nicotine is a narcotic substance that causes both physical (chemical) and psychological dependence. As a drug, nicotine is absorbed into the blood. After 7-8 seconds, the brain begins to respond to it. It is noticed that nicotine changes the human psyche and the properties of his body if a person smokes for a long time.
The production of stress hormones, in particular - cortisol, is increasing.
Effects of carbon monoxide: Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas. Up to 15% of a smoker’s blood contains carbon monoxide instead of oxygen. While oxygen is necessary for normal functioning of cells and tissues, as well as for performing exercises. When the amount of oxygen is reduced in a short period of time, there are problems with growth, packing on muscle tissue, and the restoration and absorption of nutrients such as protein, which is vital in bodybuilding.
Effect of liquid tar: 70% of the liquid tar that a person inhales while smoking enters the lungs. Liquid tar causes significant damage to the lung tissue: local protection decreases, mucociliary clearance worsens, and respiratory failure may develop due to chronic bronchitis.

In January, we shared with you and mourned the loss of sweet baby Tesfanesh in Ethiopia. Tesfanesh was a child in one of our partner orphanages in Ethiopia that was in need of critical medical care. America World took over her care but had to immediately admit her to the hospital. Tesfanesh fought for her life, but unfortunately, during her 2-week hospital stay her health continued to decline and she went to be with the Lord soon after.
An orphanage in Ethiopia that is struggling to meet the medical needs and health conditions of their children. $25,000 will allow us to hire (1) full-time doctor for the orphanage and (4) nurses to provide the necessary medical care for these precious children.
In honor of sweet baby Tesfanesh, we are asking four individuals or a groups each to donate $3,000 to hire 1 of the 4 nurses we need for the critical care of the medically fragile children in the orphanage. We are also asking an individual or a group to donate $13,000 to hire a full-time doctor to provide life-saving medical care to these children. Through the total donations of $25,000, we can provide for the medical needs of the children in our care and other orphanage partners.
America World is committed to the children of Ethiopia. We currently have a donor that pays annually for 3 full-time nannies for this orphanage. America World also contributes financially on an annual basis for the care of children in orphanages in Ethiopia. It is a difficult reality that children are still fighting for their lives in Ethiopia, but with your help we CAN save the lives of many of these children.
Please consider making a financial donation to help us meet this critical need and raise $25,000. 100% of your donation will go towards this orphan initiative.

With but one exception, everybody in the upper layer of life in that placid Vermont village was sure that Jane Vail was going to marry Martin Wetherby. The one exception was Jane herself; she was not sure—not entirely.
She was twenty-four years old, and the immemorial custom of that village gave her a scant remaining year in which to make up her mind. All girls who ran true to pattern were either snugly married or serenely teaching by the time they were twenty-five, and the choice was not always their own. There had been more marriageable maidens than eligible youths in the set, and it was rather, Jane told herself grimly, like a game of Musical Chairs—a gay, excited scramble, and some one always left out. Now, with the exodus of a few and the marrying of many, it had narrowed down to three of them—herself, Martin Wetherby, and Sarah Farraday, who was her best friend during childhood and girlhood; and Sarah, an earnest, blonde girl with nearsighted eyes and insistent upper front teeth, had, so to speak, stopped playing. She had converted her dead father's old stable into a studio by means of art burlap and framed photographs of famous composers, and was giving piano lessons daily from ten to four. This left the field entirely to Jane, and Jane was carrying about with her an increasing conviction that she was not going to do the thing every one expected her to do.
It came curiously to a crisis on a mild and unimportant day in November. Jane spent a footless forenoon in her own room in the green-shuttered, elm-shaded house where she lived with her adoring Aunt Lydia Vail, trying to start a story. Miss Vail took great care to tiptoe whenever she passed her door, and refrained from summoning her to the telephone, but her pleasant old voice, explaining why her niece could not come, was clearly audible.
"Yes, dear, she's at home, but she's at work at her writing, and you know I never disturb her.... Yes, she's been shut away in her room since right after breakfast.... Yes, it's a new story, but I don't know what it's about. I'll ask her at dinner.... How's your mother, dear?... Oh, that's good! That's what I always use and it never fails to relieve me. You give her my love, won't you? I'll have Jane call you up when she comes out for dinner."
The story simply would not start. It lay inert in the back of her brain, listening for the telephone and Aunt Lydia's softly padding footfalls, and at last she gave it up and got out the paper she was to read on The Modern Irish Dramatists before the Tuesday Club that afternoon and went carefully over its typed pages.
Oh, said Aunt Lydia at the dinner table, her plump face clouding over, "I'm sorry the story didn't go well! It wasn't because you were interrupted, was it, dear? I was especially careful this morning. You know, I believe, without realizing it, you're just the least mite nervous about your program. I know I am myself, though I know, of course, you're going to do just beautifully."
Three and a half hours later, thirty-four matrons and spinsters were warmly asserting that she had. They smiled up at her where she stood on the shallow little platform with approval and affection, and the Chairman of the Program Committee said she was sure they were all deeply indebted to Miss Vail for a most enlightening little lecture. I am free to confess, she said, smiling, that it is a subject upon which I, personally, have been ignorant, and I believe many of our club ladies would say the same.
Jane, looking down into their pleasant, best-family faces knew this was the fact. The word Irish conveyed to most of them only the red-armed minions in their kitchens; the boys who ran noisily up alleyways with butchers' parcels; the short-tempered dames in battered hats who came—or distressingly did not come—to them on Monday mornings, and who frequently bore away with them bars of perfectly new soap; and the chuckles and sobs and moonlit whimsies of Yeats and Synge and Lady Gregory did not, in their minds, connect up at all.
And now, said the President, in her sweet New England voice, I know you will all wish to express your appreciation both to the Chairman of our Program Committee, who has arranged so many literary treats for us, and to Miss Vail for her delightful paper by a rising vote of thanks. Then the thirty-four ladies of the Tuesday Club clutched at their gloves and handbags and came to their feet with soft rustlings of new foulards and taffetas and rich old silks, and the President declared the meeting adjourned but trusted that every one would remain for a cup of tea and a social hour.
Martin Wetherby's handsome mother took brisk and proprietary charge of Jane and shared her laurels happily. "Yes, indeed, she beamed, her gray crêpe arm through the girl's, I can tell you, we're pretty proud of her!" She had clearly cast herself already for the rôle of adoring and devoted mother-in-law, and the Tuesday Club was just as clearly taking the same view of it.
Jane, in her wine-red velvet and her glowing, gipsy beauty against the sober blacks and grays and faded cheeks of the gathering, looking like a Kentucky cardinal alighted in a henyard, felt her smile stiffening. Sudden and inexplicable panic and rebellion descended upon her; it seemed certain that if she heard Mrs. Wetherby say proud of this dear girl of ours once again she would scream. She disengaged her arm and declined tea and little frosted cakes.
I'm so sorry—it looks so tempting, doesn't it?—but I really must fly! She looked earnestly at her wrist watch. "This very minute! Thank you all so much! You've been wonderful—quite turned my head! But I must hurry!"
Out in the quiet, pretty street the sense of pursuit fell away from her and she was smiling derisively at herself when she reached Sarah Farraday's house and passed through the side garden to the studio. An hour with old Sally would be good for her.
Sarah was tenderly dusting her severe-looking upright piano and putting away a pile of lesson books, and turned gladly to greet her. "Jane, dear! Why, how did you get away so early? Didn't they serve tea? I was just sick about not going, but the little Macey girl has had so many interruptions and is so far behind, and she does want to play at my recital, so that I felt I couldn't put her off again. How did your paper go?"
Oh, well enough. They were very nice about it.
I know they loved it. I want to read it! She closed the music cabinet and came to take the typed manuscript. "Why, Jane! What's the matter?"
I don't know, Sally—Yes, I do know! It's—it's Mrs. Wetherby, and every one else! She acts as if—every one acts— it made her angrier still to feel the color mounting hotly in her cheeks.
"Well, Jane, dear, a faint, sympathetic flush warmed her small, pale face, isn't that perfectly natural? Of course, I suppose it teases you, but you know how happy every one is about it."
But there isn't anything to be happy about—yet!
"Then it's just because you have—have held things off, dear, that's all. And I think Marty has been awfully faithful and patient—for years! Ever since you were tiny kiddies! She looked anxiously at her best friend's mutinous face. I'll tell you, she said, brightly, let's run around to Nannie's for a moment! She'll just be giving the 'Teddy-bear' his oil rub. I'll run through the house and get my things—you wait out in front!"
Nannie Slade Hunter (Mrs. Edward R.) was their second-best friend and they had been among her bridesmaids two years earlier. A few minutes of brisk footing through the fading November afternoon delivered them at the Hunters' new, little house and in the nursery of their little son. Sarah's knowledge of schedule had been correct. Nannie, in an enveloping pinafore, her sleeves rolled high, her hands glistening, was anointing her infant with the most expensive olive oil on the market. The house was furnace heated and a small electric stove was radiating fierce warmth, and her cheeks were blazing. Jane and Sarah flung off their wraps and gave themselves whole-heartedly over to the business of worship and praise.
Little Mrs. Hunter, on whom matronhood and maternity sat with the effect of large spectacles on a small child, inquired indulgently into the activities of her friends. Paper go nicely, Janey? Sorry I couldn't go.—Yes, he was his muzzie's lamby-lamby-boy! Yes, he was!—And how many pupils have you now, Sally?
Seventeen, said Sarah, thankfully, and if everything goes well I'll have my baby-grand in four years!
Edward R. Hunter, unmistakable father of the glistening infant, came into the room as she spoke and at once propounded a conundrum.
Here's a good one, Jane! What's the difference between Nannie and Sally? Give it up? Why, Sally'll have a baby-grand, but Nannie has a grand baby! The hot and breathless nursery rang with mirth; it seemed to Jane that the very pink room was growing hotter and hotter, and it smelt stiflingly of moist varnish and talcum powder and warm olive oil and expensive soap, and the baby, sitting solemnly erect for his powdering, a steadying hand at his fat back, looked like a pink celluloid Kewpie leering at her knowingly. She heard herself saying with unconsidered mendacity that she had an errand to run for her Aunt Lydia, and that Sally mustn't hurry away on her account, and presently she was down in the dim street again, with Edward R.'s jocose reproach that old Marty Wetherby was fading away to skin and bone echoing in her ears. She went dutifully for a magazine Miss Vail had mentioned and went home the long way 'round, so that she was barely in time for supper, which consisted of three slices of cold boiled ham, shaved to a refined thinness and spread upon an ancient and honorable platter of blue willow pattern ware, hot biscuit, a small pot of honey and two kinds of preserves, delicate cups of not-too-strong tea, sugar cookies and a pallid custard.
Her aunt was fond and proud over the afternoon's triumph but didn't quite understand her having gone away so abruptly, and feared that Mrs. Wetherby had been just the least mite hurt about it.
But then, she hastened to add, at Jane's impatient movement, it'll be all right, dear! You're going to see her to-night, and I know you can—sort of smooth it over.
I was thinking, said her niece, dark eyes on her plate, that perhaps I wouldn't go this evening, Aunt Lyddy.
"Not go? Not go to Mrs. Wetherby's? Why,—Jane! Miss Vail laid down her fork and stared, her mild eyes wide with astonishment. You aren't sick, are you?"
I think I'm sick of always and always going to the same places with the same person, and hearing the same people say the same things! Instantly she wished she might recall the sharp words, satisfying as they were to herself, for little Miss Lydia was regarding her much as the aunt of the wretched girl in the fairy tale might have done,—the girl out of whose mouth a frog jumped every time she opened it. Indeed, the sentence seemed actually visible between them, like a squat and ugly small beast on the shining white cloth. Sorry, Aunt Lyddy, said Jane, penitently. I'm a crosspatch to-night, and I ought to sit by the fire and spin, instead of gamboling.
Miss Vail's face cleared. "No, indeed, dearie, it'll be much better for you to go and have a merry time with your young companions. That paper was a nervous strain, that's all! Now you just eat a good supper and then run upstairs and make yourself as pretty as you can! Her plump face broke up into sly lines and she nodded happily. Marty'll come for you at quarter before eight; he telephoned before you got home."
Martin Wetherby was even better than his word, which was one of his most sterling traits. He arrived at twenty-five minutes before eight and waited contentedly in converse with her aunt until Jane came down. I didn't bring the car, he said. I thought we'd like to walk. When they reached the sidewalk he lifted her right forearm in a warm, moist grasp and held it firmly close against him. The car's too quick, Janey, he said, huskily. Gets us there too soon!
Well, said Jane, brightly, we mustn't be late, your mother likes people to be prompt, you know! She managed to tug her arm away the fraction of an inch.
"She likes you, any old time," he said, blissfully. He always got husky and thick sounding in emotion, Jane reflected, and breathed heavily.
Aren't we going to stop by for Sally?
"No; I asked Edward R. and Nannie to pick her up in their little old boat. No, we aren't going to have anybody—but just—us! He squeezed her arm against him again. Janey, I guess you know all right how I——"
Oh! cried Jane,— here they are, now! Hello, people!
Hello yourselves! said Edward R. Hunter, bringing his machine to a stop beside them. Want to hop in? Plenty room.
No, of course they don't want to hop in, goose! said his wife, reprovingly. Edward R. Hunter, I wonder at you! Were you never young yourself?
Oh, but we do! Jane was capably opening the front door of the little car. We're late! I kept Marty waiting! I'm going to ride with the chauffeur, and Marty can sit with the girls. When Mrs. Wetherby says 'eight o'clock' she means it, not quarter past. She was chatty and intensely friendly with them all during the brief drive. She even produced the proper degree of articulate mirth for the young father's painstaking jest about his son's nickname being Teddy b-a-r-e, bear, most of the time.
When they stopped before the Wetherby house Martin was out of the automobile with heavy swiftness and lifted Jane bodily to the sidewalk and hurried her up the walk. All right for you, girlie, he chuckled, all right for you! But you just wait! Wait till going home to-night!
Jane drew Sarah Farraday aside when they were in Mrs. Wetherby's phrase, taking off their things in the north chamber, —a solid and dependable-looking room. Sally, I want you to come home with me and stay over night.
Oh, Jane, I don't believe I could,—not to-night! If I'd known sooner—I haven't anything with me.
I'll loan you everything you need. Please, Sally! You can telephone your mother now.
"Sally, don't be a nuisance! I want you. I—need you!"
Sarah Farraday peered closely at her through her nearsighted eyes. Jane! You haven't quarreled with Marty, have you? Oh, Jane!
No, but I shall if you don't come home with me!
Her best friend looked long and anxiously at her and then went with a sigh to telephone her mother, and the evening, which Mrs. Wetherby described as a little gathering of the young folks, got under way. Jane played cards sedately for the earlier part of it and joined with conscientious liveliness in the games which came later, just before Mrs. Wetherby's conception of light refreshments was served,—pineapple and banana salad with whipped cream and maraschino cherries on it, three kinds of exceptionally sweet and sticky cake, thick chocolate with melted marshmallows floating on its surface, and large quantities of home-made fudge in crystal bonbon dishes.

As the lights dimmed and the spotlights shined, mistress of ceremonies Carol Daniels, KMOX Radio, asked the audience of more than 750 friends, family and colleagues to to join her in welcoming the 2014 Women of Achievement. The annual awards lunchoen, held at the Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis, Thursday, May 15, 2014, recognized this year’s honorees for their unselfish, impressive volunteer efforts, which have influenced so positively the wellbeing and welfare of the St. Louis region and those who live here.
This 2014 Class of Honorees included these 10 extraordinary volunteers from the St. Louis metropolitan region: M. Virginia Braxs – Cultural Enrichment, Ida H. Early – Volunteer Leadership, Eva Frazer, M.D. – Community Health, Teri Griege – Health Awareness, Phyllis Z. Langsdorf – Creative Philanthropy, Diane Gershman Levine – Health and Education, DiAnne L. Mueller – Family Enrichment, JoAnn M. Shaw – Health Advocacy, Linda Weitzer Sher – Child Welfare, Pat Whitaker – Civic Responsibility.
considers women with significant volunteer impact in areas such as, but not limited to, education, arts, health and human services, youth and family, philanthropy, social justice and advocacy.
In 1955, the St. Louis-Globe Democrat newspaper created an awards program, that became known as the Women of Achievement Award, to recognize and honor the achievements of women who, through their volunteer efforts, have demonstrated their dedication and commitment to improving the quality of life in the St. Louis community. The St. Louis Women of Achievement organization, a 501c3, not-for-profit organization, was established in 1993 by former Women of Achievement who wanted to ensure the longevity of the award for future generations of St. Louis area women. The organization’s Board of Directors, comprised of past recipients of the award, continue to plan and implement the nomination, selection, and presentation process. They intend to guarantee that this award will perpetuate and honor the women volunteers in the St. Louis metropolitan region, who positively impact the community for many years to come.

When we talk about imports in the PSL Grand Prix, names such as Alaina Bergsma, Ariel Usher, Erica Adachi and Bojana Todorovic come to mind, but when we talk about the most decorated PSL import, one name will come to mind and that name is Lindsay Stalzer. The 3-time PSL Champion is the winningiest import in the league and is not closing her doors for another title.
How it all started for Stalzer?
Stalzer started her volleyball career over at Bradley University where she played as an opposite spiker. From there she played for 14 other squads including four teams in the PSL. She started to play in the PSL during the 2014 for the Cignal HD Spikers. She led the HD Spikers to a 4th place finish and a 1st best outside spiker award. The following year she returned to play for the Foton Tornadoes and from there won her first PSL title. Also it marked her first MVP title in the PSL. The following year, she returned for her third tour of duty for Foton where they defended their crown and became the first back-to-back Grand Prix champions.
She returned in 2017 this time to play for Petron and she led the Blaze Spikers to the finals but lost to F2 Logistics who had Maria Jose Perez and Kennedy Bryan as reinforcements. The following year, she returned to Petron and finally got her third title with Katherine Bell and Yuri Fukuda as imports.
With her stints with the other PSL teams, how different is it playing under a seasoned coach in Ramil De Jesus. “I like it . The practice is a little bit different but that is part of the game. Part of it is adapting to the system of the coach. Adjusting to whatever challenges is laid upon.” said the 34-year old open spiker.
It just comes to show that any challenges given to Stalzer, especially this season, will be important for the success of the Cargo Movers moving forward in getting the Grand Prix title back.

ISLAMABAD (AFP) - Pakistan summoned the Indian ambassador to Islamabad on Friday to protest against the death of another Pakistani soldier in what it said was a second cross-border attack from Indian troops in Kashmir.
Pakistan said the soldier was killed on Thursday. It was the third deadly incident and fourth death reported in five days in the disputed Himalayan region, which is claimed in full by both India and Pakistan but ruled in part by each.
"We have summoned the Indian high commissioner to the foreign office to protest the firing incident at the LOC (Line of Control)," foreign ministry spokesman Moazzam Ahmed Khan told AFP.
Pakistan said the soldier died as a result of "unprovoked" fire from India.
An Indian army spokesman said Pakistan opened fire and Indian soldiers retaliated.
The United States has urged the nuclear-armed rivals to cool tensions along the heavily militarised Line of Control, the de facto border in divided Kashmir.
On Tuesday, India said two of its soldiers were killed by Pakistani troops and one of them was beheaded. Pakistan denied any responsibility.
On Sunday, the Pakistani army accused India of killing one of its soldiers and wounding another in a cross-border attack. India said its troops had opened fire following a Pakistani mortar attack, but denied they crossed the border.
Kashmir, a Muslim-majority territory, has been the cause of two of their three wars since independence from Britain in 1947.
A ceasefire has been in force along the Line of Control since 2003, despite sporadic violations on both sides.
Despite the recent killings, both countries have appeared determined to prevent the violence from wrecking a fragile peace process, which resumed in 2011.

The eddy current method is based on the principle of generating circular electrical currents (eddy currents) in a conductive material. This is achieved by the use of a coil connected to an alternating current generator driving an alternating magnetic field (primary field). The current flow induced by this primary field within the conductive material will itself produce a magnetic field (secondary field) in opposition to the primary field according to Lenz’s law.
This reaction can be measured as a change of the impedance of the coil/sample arrangement (change in amplitude and phase of the voltage related to the generator current driving the coil). A coil in air is not influenced by eddy currents, but moving the coil towards an electrical conductive sample results in a signal, which can be used for distance measurement, e.g. measurement of non-conductive coating thickness on electrical conductive material.
The eddy currents will always go the easiest way, and if cracks exist in the material, the current will go around the crack. This change of eddy current flow also can be detected by monitoring the impedance of the coil and is mainly used for detection of cracks.
The eddy currents are flowing beneath the surface of the material with the highest density close to the surface. The depth of penetration of the eddy currents depends on the conductivity and permeability of the material and the frequency of the alternating field. At high frequencies the eddy currents concentrate at the surface, while with lower frequencies deeper regions within the material are penetrated.
By utilizing this on e.g. a sheet of aluminum, both, cracks on top of the sheet and on the other side can be detected. It is also applicable to detect subsurface corrosion and to determine the thickness of conductive sheets.
This effect is used mainly for non-ferromagnetic material. Due to the high permeability of ferromagnetic material the standard eddy current method here is limited to the region close to the surface. There exist extended methods to inspect e.g the subsurface of thick-walled ferromagnetic pipes or plates.

Why do I not see Gmail’s free phone service on my tablet when connected to a hotspot?
On my desktop PC I see where my GMail account has a free phone service built into it. But when I take my tablet to a hotspot, I don’t see that feature built into GMail – how come? Any way to get it?
There is an Android app GrooveIP that works pretty seamlessly with Google Voice. When i run out of voice minutes I just switch over to GrooveIP and then I have unlimited voice calls on wi-fi and over my data service.
I suppose you are using Android tablet.
Since,such features on a app requires to be build and worked upon separately,so you can't see them.When such features do come,all the blogs brings them to notice.
the free phone requires voice plugins in gmail which can be installed on pc. but tablet versions of gmail also provided mobile interface which does not have these features.
call phone feature uses the Gmail chat voice & video plugin perhaps this plugin do not exist for your table or by design do not work on tablets.

If you’ve been told or you suspect that you have sleep apnea, chances are you’re looking for some additional information on what that means.
The most concise way to explain it is that sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing is interrupted during sleep.
Untreated sleep apnea may also be responsible for poor performance in everyday activities, such as at work and school, motor vehicle crashes, and academic underachievement in children and adolescents.
Also, you should be aware that there are two types of sleep apnea — obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea – and here’s a summary of each.
Obstructive sleep apnea, otherwise referred to as OSA, is the more common of the two forms of apnea. It’s caused by a blockage of the airway, usually when the soft tissue in the back of the throat collapses during sleep.
In central sleep apnea, unlike OSA, the airway is not blocked, but the brain fails to signal the muscles to breathe, due to instability in the respiratory control center.
The good news for either of these is that there are sleep apnea treatments in Lake Forest, CA beyond the traditional CPAP. Dentists like Lake Forest Dental Choice in Lake Forest, CA will be happy to explore the options that are available to you for Sleep Apnea Treatment in Lake Forest, CA, 92630.
Why not make an appointment for sleep apnea treatment in 92630 today with Lake Forest Dental Choice to get started on a path of restful sleep?

ESSEX police and Essex fire service continue to investigate the death of a woman who died in a house fire in Great Dunmow on Friday afternoon.
Fire crews from Dunmow and Leaden Roading were called to the scene in The Close shortly after 12pm.
The house was 100 per cent smoke logged and firefighters took about an hour, using two sets of breathing apparatus and one hose reel, to extinguish the blaze.
An ambulance crew was also called to the incident although on-one was taken to hospital. A 52-year-old woman, who is thought to have been disabled, died at the scene.
Forensic specialists are yet to confirm the cause of the fire, although a police spokesman confirmed that the incident is not being treated as suspicious.
