Last year, Charlotte Candle Company was approached by Liz and Andrew Porter, owners of Doc Porter’s distillery, to help them fulfill the promise of a “nothing wasted" business philosophy. They wanted to recycle their tasting room sample bottles into long lasting, soy wax candles. At Doc Porter’s, making beautiful, handmade craft spirits is their passion. Every drop of Doc Porter's vodka, gin, and bourbon is made from scratch using locally-sourced grains from Marshville and Asheville, NC. As the collaboration took shape, Liz and Andrew selected the fragrances to be contained in their bottles. From there, Charlotte Candle Company hand cut, sanded, buffed and cleaned each glass bottle one by one. The 17oz. candles were poured in batches of four and they will burn more than 65 hours. And now Doc Porter’s sampling bottles are being used and recycled as vessels for beautiful, long-lasting, all-natural, soy wax candles for craft spirit and Doc Porter’s lovers to enjoy in their home.
Check out their amazing story, at www.DocPorters.com and visit their tasting room. Charlotte Candle Company, couldn’t be prouder of this venture with our friends and fellow local small business owners.
DOC PORTER'S RYE: BLACKBERRY SAGE: During the days of Prohibition, whiskey makers developed a "creative" use for rye whiskey. "Rock and Rye" - rock candy soaked rye whiskey - where the sweet sugar from the candy helped take away the spicy characteristic bite of rye and made it much smoother to consume. Cleverly enough, this concoction also had a dual purpose, the beverage of choice in saloons, and a cure for what ailed you - such as the sniffles or a common cold. Around the turn of the 20th century, "Rock and Rye" was functioning as both a remedy and a refreshment branded as "alcoholic medicinal preparations". Because it was labeled as a medicine, it was not frowned upon by the temperance movement and therefore wasn't highly taxed like other hard liquors. Our Blackberry Sage candle boasts a wonderful combination of the sweet, tart scent of blackberries and the spicy, herbal tones of sage. Much like the whiskey used as "medicine" in early times, blackberry and sage are two ingredients widely used in herbal medicines today. NOTE PROFILE: Blackberry, Spice, Sage.
DOC PORTER’S BOURBON: OAKMOSS + AMBER: Poured into Doc Porter’s Bourbon vessel, the complex fragrant Oakmoss + Amber candle will fill your space with rich woody and musk base notes – and has a fusion of herbs and amber that give it a feminine touch too. NOTE PROFILE: Fresh, Herbal, Orange, Rose, Oakmoss, Grapefruit, Sandalwood, Blonde Woods, Amber, Musk & Tonka.
DOC PORTER’S GIN: LAVENDER CUCUMBER SAGE Contained in the Doc Porter’s Gin vessel, this candle emits a herbaceous fresh bouquet begins with a top note of green cucumber and soothing sage. It’s a beautiful blend. NOTE PROFILE: Cucumber, Lavender & Sage.
DOC PORTER’S VODKA: COTTON TREE: This Doc Porter’s Vodka vessel combines classic cotton notes with floral and woody accords to create this distinct fragrance. It’s clean, crisp and refreshing. NOTE PROFILE: Fresh, Marine, Citrus, Floral, Rose, Violet, Musk & Woody.

I have yet to be in the position where I am training others in SEO; however, I did just finish up the training program at SEER. I’ve learned that training in SEO can be quite different from other industries because naturally, SEO is a self-taught profession. Will Critchlow published one of my favorite posts around the topic of learning SEO (A printed copy sits at my desk here at SEER.) His very first point is that “curiosity is your biggest asset,” and this is certainly accurate. In SEO, you always need to be asking ‘why.’ Additionally, SEO is a fast-paced culture. It is ingrained in the culture of SEO to move fast and at scale.
Agencies and marketing departments seem to be hiring quite rapidly for SEO related positions in the last few months. However, the rapid breakthrough of the SEO industry has made it difficult for companies to adapt a SEO training program that employees find useful. SEO is not an ever-matured banking or accounting industry where companies have a planned six-month structured training schedule that every employee takes part in. SEO is not there yet, though one day it may be.
Until then, I wanted to outline some ways for current SEO experts to teach SEO trainees in an effort to make the process of hiring employees and nurturing them into valuable SEO specialists as swift as possible.
Do not suffer from The Curse of Knowledge. The curse of knowledge means that as humans become experts in a certain field, we begin to understand something much better and forget what it was like to not know it. The expert may forget what the trainee is going through, which holds the expert back from clearly communicating to and teaching an SEO trainee.
There are two very important aspects of time when helping others to learn SEO. First is that you should make time for the person you are training. Make time in your schedule to sit and walk the trainee through a real keyword research assignment. Then, when the next assignment for keyword research comes in, give it to them and see what they can do. Since they were walked through it, they will likely have enough tools to complete the assignment while at the same time stepping just enough outside their comfort zone.
The second aspect of time is to go a little slower reviewing with the trainee than you would with a teammate. SEOs tend to be fast-moving which is a great quality. But a newbie tends to need some time to process everything they are learning. By going slower through a keyword research training session, it will pay off a few months later when the trainee can bang out keyword research at a faster pace.
There are two different types of projects to give an SEO trainee. The first category is mini-projects. These are basic things like keyword research, prospecting, and researching competitor strategies and tactics. These are very important for the trainee, as they all build a certain foundation of SEO knowledge.
The second category is bigger, loftier projects. Be sure to give them one project where you are pretty confident that they have never done something like it before. This will be an ongoing project that will yield even more learning for the trainee at a faster pace. Larger projects should be more technical and strategic, where the trainee will be called upon to make something from nothing. It will likely push the trainee far outside of his or her comfort zone.
A solid training tactic is to ask questions of the trainee. Send them an email asking them if they would pursue a specific linking opportunity, and ask why or why not. Send a quick message asking why they think you made a certain recommendation. On the flip side though, let them ask you some questions. The key is to get them to feel comfortable enough to ask.
If you are at an agency, get the trainee on a client call the first day on the job. I learned fast by listening to SEER consultants communicate with clients. If you are on the client side, bring them to a cross-functional meeting where you are speaking to the design, brand, or product team about recent SEO efforts. It will train the mind to start learning how to communicate SEO to other team members or clients.
Following these guidelines, you will likely see your SEO trainees transform rapidly into confident SEO employees. Agencies and marketing departments who follow these practices will have more valuable employees, as trainees will build confidence at a faster pace. A recently trained employee will be well equipped for any deliverable you give them. Now, why don’t we all read this book, and I will start a discussion about it on Google+ in about a month or so.

Public speakers think that to succeed on the stage they must provide as much information to their audience as possible - that the audience wants to know more things by the end of the presentation.
The truth is that audiences want to be empowered - they want to believe in a new possibility for themselves and move forward accordingly. And because my clients successfully empower their audiences, they are able to triple and quadruple their speaking fees. They convert 75% of their audience to discovery calls after giving a workshop.
And their entire presence as a speaker transforms.
The foundation of all of this success is based on my clients developing and embracing their "silver bullet" - a one-sentence recipe for all that they share through their message. Below is a link to purchase a one-hour training on developing your silver bullet.

Let’s take this a step further and really dig into the finances of each company you choose. We all know that owning a piece of a company can be exciting especially when we are familiar with their products, which has been around for many decades. In Investor 101, we learn to remove our emotions and put our business hat on.
You would be surprised that not every big company operates efficiently as it should so they have to be scrutinized just as much as the new guys on the block. Good thing for us(the public), we have access to information that really tells the true story of each organization.
As a shareholder, you have to know what you are getting yourself into and the best way to do this is to learn how to read 3 important company documents such as income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements. By understanding these 3 documents, you will know whether the company stock you love is a good buy or not.
Income Statement: presents the revenues and expenses for a specific period of time. Both revenue and expenses result in net income or net loss for the company. Net loss occurs when expenses exceed revenue. Net income occurs when revenue exceeds expenses.
Balance Sheet: reports the assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity at a specific date. This tells you how much the company owns(assets) and what the company owes(liabilities).
Statement of Cash Flows: summarizes information about the cash inflows(receipts) and cash outflows(payments) for a specific period of time. This is the main document that really ties in the income statement and the balance sheet together by telling you whether the company has any money leftover.
1. Revenue should always exceed Expenses on this statement. It’s a red flag if the expenses is bigger than the revenues shown meaning that the company is having problems.
2. Non Recurring Charges should not appear frequently in this statement. These are one-time charges that are not part of regular operations. Examples: Closing a plant or selling a division. In a healthy company, this line will be blank majority of the time.
3. Look at the Selling, General, and Administrative line to see if the overhead expenses is rising fast in this area. If this line item is drastically increasing even though revenue(sales) remains the same then this company is not very a cost-effective firm.
1. Assets should always be higher than Liabilities. A company should own more than it owes so this would be the first thing to compare as you look from quarter to quarter and annually.
2. Accounts Receivable(customers owe money) should always be lower than the organization’s sales growth. It’s a red flag if this line item is higher than Revenue because that means they are having trouble collecting money that customers owe them!
3. Under the Stockholder’s Equity Section, see if retained earnings is positive or negative. Retained earnings is net income used to reinvest into the company core business, which is a huge plus. They can use this extra money to pay dividends to shareholders.
1. Declining cash flow with high net income is a red flag. Watch for “Cash Flow From Operations” that begins to shrink over time as Net Income(earnings) grows.
Is There More Investigation That I Can Do?
Now that we have covered the key items to look for in a company financial statement, you will be more prepared to make critical investment decisions for your future.
As you utilize the equations above and perform more calculations for each company, you will be able to reveal more answers to your own questions in regards to how the company is performing.
To investigate each company a little further, I recommend reading their 10-Q and 10-K reports. They are comprehensive quarterly and yearly reports that are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC), that provides great detail into how the company runs its business. This will give you more insight into the policies they create & follow, disclosures, management compensation structure, any issues the company has run into, and much more. To find company filings, go to www.sec.gov and research the company name.
If you have any investing questions and would like answers, please feel free to set up an appointment with me here.
Great post on explaining key features of the 3 financial statements! I really liked your tip on looking for increasing free cash flows as it does make sense for a stable company to improving this metric over time.
If you had to pick one statement to learn from first, which one would you recommend?
I recommend learning about Cash Flows in great detail because this statement will tell you the whole story about a company. It will reveal how much actual cash the company has generated, which is critical information for all investors.

The Churches of Old Acadia.
An Acadian Church at Piziquid.
I am in the fortunate position to be able to put names forth of real persons who lived in Acadia during these stirring times. My distant, direct relative, René Landry (b.1618) with his wife Perrine (Bourg) come to Port Royal, c.1640. René and Perrine were to live out their lives at Port Royal. (See my page on the "Landrys of Old Acadia.") They, like most all Acadian couples, had a large family.2 From the two original progenitors, René (b.1618) and René (b.1640 [#11]) there came issue: Pierre (b.1658 [#12]), Antoine (b.1660 [#13]), Claude (b.1662 [#14]), Claude (b.1663 [#111], Jean (b.1666 [#112])14, René (b.1668 [#113]), Germain (b.1674 [#114]), Abraham (b.1678 [#115]), Pierre (b.1680 [#116]), & Charles (b.c.1686 [#117]).
René's sons were to move to stake out farming lands away from the English guns3 as were found at Port Royal. Antoine [#13] picked out a site on the banks of the Riviére des Habitants (Canning area); and, yet, another brother, René [#113] settled at "rivière-aux-Canard." But the Landrys that now attract our attention are those who came to Piziquid. It would appear that Piziquid was to attract more than its share of early Landrys: Pierre [#12], Jean [#112], Germain [#114], Abraham [#115], and Pierre [#116].
The French Acadians that came to first settle Piziquid came over a ten year period from 1690 to 1700. In the analysis, it is worthwhile to consider the information available to us in respect the growth of the Acadian population levels during the last half of the 17th century. At the start, 1641, in all of Acadia, there was but 120 souls4. By 1671, at Port Royal, the only place to contain a viable population, there was to be found 360 persons.5 In 1683, we see 600 persons in all of Acadia6. By 1686, we have our first breakdown of the population levels: Port Royal, Minas,7 Cobequid, Beaubassin: 592, 57, 127, & 885.8 Incidentally, not until 1676 do we see a community spring up to rival that of Port Royal - indeed, it was, in short order, to surpass it. In 1676, Beaubassin9 was founded; and by 1686 Beaubassin's population level stood at 885, viz., Port Royal, 592. In 1686, there was only 57 at Minas and 127 at Cobequid10.
The impetus to the eastern movement of the Acadian population, was, undoubtedly, increased due to the invasion of Sir William Phips, in 1690. Certain of the families that had the means were able to combine up and likely entered into charters with New England ship captains who, in season, could be found on the coast with trading goods; they would be perfectly willing for a price to run people, tools and farm animals up the bay and land them all, on the shallow and muddy shores of the Minas Basin.12 No doubt the nearest and best lands were taken up first. This general trek continued eastward, until, eventually, 15 miles beyond Grand Pré, the Piziquid and its lands were reached: the banks of the three converging rivers: the Piziquid (renamed by the British to the Avon) the Kennetcook and the St. Croix (as they continue to be named today).
No matter the timing and the mode, we see in fact the population of the larger area of Minas (which includes as one of its subset territories that of Piziquid) pick up from the 57, as reported in 1686; to 307, in 1693; 498, in 1701; and 577 in 1707. This growth was, to some extent, at the expense of the population at Port Royal.
I cannot say when the churches of Piziquid were built, though, today, we can point to the original sites: La Sainte-Famille, to the west of the Avon River (Falmouth); and L'Assomption, to the east of the river (Windsor). Assomption was probably constructed around 1700, at a time when there would have been a sufficient population to support it. By 1722, we see that Famille was built in order to serve the population on the west side of the Piziquid River (where today there is to be found the English community known as Falmouth).
I now make a short excursion to deal with the other churches in Acadia: a short note from Placide Gaudet (FACAR) will suffice: there was, at Port Royal area two churches, the "one in town dedicated to St. Jean-Baptiste, and the other about ten miles above [at or around the current day village of Upper Granville]. ... At Grand-Pré the patron saint of the church was St. Charles; at Riviére-aux-Canards, St. Joseph13 ... At Cobequid, St. Pierre et St. Paul." At Piziquid there were two churches: L'Assomption and La Sainte Famille, the principal subject of this piece. To round things out, there was one other church in old Acadia, Ste. Anne at Beaubassin. As was the case for all catholic churches registers of marriages, births and deaths were kept, but, sad to say, most went missing. As of 1906, two existed: the one from St. Jean-Baptiste covering the years 1702-1755. The other, which was at St. Charles de la Grand-Pré aux Mines, and it was "brought to Louisiana by the Acadians at the time of the expulsion. There were five volumes of them embracing the years 1687-1755. ... Very poor care was taken of them." As Gaudet points out in 1906, only bits and pieces of these five volumes have survived covering the years 1707 to 1748. There is hope that one or more of these old registers may yet show up: if so, then, as Gaudet explains, it will likely be in France as there is evidence that certain of the registers must have found their way to France.
But to address the question of who is buried under the fine red earth under the church yard15 of Sainte-Famille: we can now only attempt to put a pre-deportation list of the area residents together and guess which of those people likely died before 1755. We might begin with the year of 1690. This 65 year period, however, can be further broken down into two periods: 1690 to 1722; and, the period between 1722-1755.
In the Pisiquid area there came into being, in 1722, two parishes; la paroisse de l'Assomption and la paroisse de Sainte-Famille. This came about as a result of an edict from the bishop at Quebec. There had been, prior to this time only the one parish, l'Assomption; but those on the west side of the Avon River (as it is named today) wanted their own church (bridges were unheard of, and the tides were high and the mud deep) disputes broke out amongst the residents, such that the bishop had to step in. Thus, on the Falmouth side (western side) of the river, after 1722, the parish of Sainte-Famille was to be founded; on the other side, l'Assomption continued to exist. There was only the one priest to cover both parishes and he use to say mass on each side of the river on alternative Sundays.
Another useful resource in establishing a list of residents, is, a map, which I have scanned in and placed on my site, and which was originally prepared by the British forces before 1755.16 This map is useful in that it apparently gives a snap-shot of the principal residents of the area under review, just before the deportation, c1754; but, no doubt, the family names written down represent the long standing location of these Acadian families who had immigrated, as we have seen, eastward from Port Royal.
Thus, to answer the question, which first prompted me to write this piece, viz., - Who is Buried at La Sainte Famille? - one needs to list those Acadians who lived west of the Piziquid river and who likely died between the years, 1722-1755. With a copy of Bona Arsenault's Histoire et Généalogie des Acadiens one might be able to come up with a list of names. I can start things off by setting forth what I know of the Landrys who were in La pariosse de La Sainte-Famille; and, in turn, speculate which of them might have been buried there, in the church yard of La Sainte-Famille.
On an old British map we are able to see a number of old French Acadian names. There will be found the homesteads of several Landry families, including: Abraham, Pierre, and Pierre Jermain; but these Landry families were, likely, of the La pariosse de l'Assomption, being located, as they were, on the eastern side of the Piziquid River (now known as the Avon River) where the southern branch of the Avon comes into the main river, handy the small modern day village of Windsor Forks.17 On the western side of the main river we see, writ large, "Pierre Landry."18 Now, which Pierre Landry would this be? My research leads me to believe that this could be either [#116] or [#132], whom Arsenault identifies as within La pariosse de La Sainte-Famille.
 Port Royal is now called Annapolis Royal, a pretty little town in the Canadian eastern province of Nova Scotia.
 There is a controversy as to the first two René Landrys of Acadia. Were they father and son? Or, were the two Renés related in some other way? Or, were they even related at all?

 See the work done by Calnek, Eaton, Hannay, Webster, Patterson. In Webster's work on Villebon, at page 203 and on, we see this careful historian report that, in addition, there were 19 people at Le Heve and Mirliguaiche (Lunenburg), 15 at Cape Sable, 16 at Pentagoet (Castine, Maine) and surrounding area, 6 at Miramichi (New Brunswick), 6 at Nepisiguit (Bathhurst), 26 at Isle Percée and 15-20 at Chedabucto (Guysborough, Nova Scotia). On the St. John were to be found the three Damour brothers, M. Martignon (his wife wife Jeanne LaTour (age 60) and their daughter, Marianne, aged 24. (Parkman, Count Frontenac and New France under Louis XIV , FN at p. 355; Hannay, p. 222; Webster's work on Villebon, pp. 203-4.
 Beaubassin: On October, 24th, 1676 Frontenac granted Michael Le Neuf sieur de La Valliére de Beaubassin (1640-1705, the elder) a large piece of land at the Isthmus of Chignecto which was to become known as the Beaubassin seigneury. (See Savary's Supplement, History of the County of Annapolis, p. 14; and see also "The Acadian Seigneury of St.-Mathieu at Cobequid"; by Joan Bourque Campbell, NSHR#9:2(1989).
 It was on this important occasion, the visit of Intendant Meules and Bishop St. Vallier, 1685-6, that a census is conducted. (See Acadian population levels.) The year before, it should be noted, there had been a cruise carried out by the French naval officer, Captain Bergier. Bergier sailed the waters of Acadia in his two ships, the St. Louis and the Marianne, enforcing the rights of French fishermen as against the New England fishermen. Bergier undoubtedly filed a report with his expense list; this report probably recommended a greater involvement of the church and civil authorities who were located at the principal center of New France, Quebec.

 I have seen the cemetery located at La pariosse de La Sainte-Famille: Saw it in the summer of 1996: Somebody was busy digging it up while in the process of building a house. I took pictures, Pictures of Piziquid.

 What is not shown on the map are the homesteads on the banks of the St. Croix, the Jean Landry [#112] line. This line of Landrys saw the writing on the wall and left their lands in 1751 to immigrate to the French territory of Ile Royale (Cape Breton). Your editor/compiler traces his decent through this line, as is the case for most all Landrys who hail from Cape Breton.
 The only other names I see written on the Falmouth side of the map is "Foret" and "Rivet." Who ever is running down the information on these families can come to their own conclusion as which of their ancestors are buried at Sainte-Famille. They might send me the information; again, Arsenault will be of considerable help. Just e-mail me.
 I think we might safely speculate that there is a Pierre Landry buried there; and, likely, their wives and certain of their children and grandchildren. Incidently, the listed sons of these "Two Pierres" are: Pierre [#1161] (b.1704), Francoise [#1162] (b.1711), Augustin [#1321] (b.1719), Firmman [#1322] (b.1725), Basile [#1323] (b.1727), and Joseph [#1324] (b.1730): the ages, respectively, as of 1755, if they were then living: 51, 44, 36, 30, 28, and 25: most of these men, the children of the "Two Pierre Cousins," I suppose, would have been part of the Piziquid deportation which was carried out under Captain Alexander Murray.

A Baptist elder in Connecticut, Nehemiah Dodge began his career in the ministry in Hampton in 1788 before moving on to Southington. He published many tracts and orations and fought for disestablishment. About 1820, upon becoming a Universalist, he served as pastor of the Universalist Church in New London. Stephen S. Nelson was a graduate of Rhode Island College and moved from Hartford to Mt. Pleasant, New York, in 1801 to become principal of an academy (William G. McLoughlin, New England Dissent 1630–1833: The Baptists and the Separation of Church and State, 2 vols. [Cambridge, Mass., 1971], 2:930, 987, 1008).
Our Collective Capacity: the Danbury Baptist Association was organized in 1790 and consisted of twenty-six churches, mostly in western Connecticut, but including three churches in eastern New York. At its October 1800 meeting, the association initiated a petition movement to redress the grievances of the dissenting minority against the Congregationalist majority in the region. Although disestablishment had not been an issue in the 1800 election in Connecticut, the movement was a call for the statewide repeal of all laws that could be understood as supporting an established religion. In 1801, the petition movement tried to remain above partisan politics and cultivated support of some Congregationalists, Episcopalians, and other dissenters who might be sympathetic to their cause. On 8 Oct. 1801, the Danbury Baptist Association, meeting at Colebrook, Connecticut, voted that Elders Stephen Royce (Stratfield), Daniel Wildman (Wolcott and Bristol), Nehemiah Dodge (Southington and Farmington), Stephen S. Nelson (Hartford), and Deacons Jared Mills (Simsbury) and Ephraim Robbins (Hartford) “be a committee to prepare an address to the President of the United States, in behalf of this association.” The address and the president’s reply of 1 Jan. 1802 were reprinted in newspapers across the country, including Denniston and Cheetham’s American Citizen on 18 Jan. 1802 (Minutes of the Danbury Baptist Association, Holden at Colebrook, October 7 and 8, 1801; Together with Their Circular and Corresponding Letters [Hartford, 1801]; Shaw-Shoemaker description begins Ralph R.

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a heritable neurodegenerative disorder that affects muscle coordination and diminishes cognitive abilities, by affecting the medium spiny neurons in the brain. In HD patients, neurons are damaged and destroyed because of the toxicity of the mutant Huntington protein (mHtt). The mechanism of how mHtt protein affects the neurons is unknown. In this study we explored the effects of mHtt expression by looking at changes in huntingtin localization, changes in the expression and co-localization of related proteins and differences in cell morphology. We examine how this expression affects the cytoskeletal structures using neural stem cells Q7 (wild type) and Q140 (mHtt) and differentiated neurons as a model for studying HD. In addition we looked at the interference of mHtt protein with RRAS, the downstream signaling components of Plexin/Semaphorin pathway of the neurons. Our work began with optimization of the growth conditions of the cell lines of our model cell system. We then focused on developing protocols for differentiation into neurons, and continued with immunocytochemistry studies and confocal microscopy for imaging the fluorescently labeled cells. We found differences in growth rate and morphology between Q7 and Q140 cell lines. We studied the effects of mHtt protein on the differentiation process of the neurons and noticed differences in the mHtt protein expression between both differentiated cell lines. There is evidence that mHtt interferes with cell adhesion, motility, and molecules related to signaling and cytoskeleton remodeling. The results of these studies leave us with a well-characterized tool for the study of HD.

Psychiatrists characterize schizophrenia, a mental condition with devastating effects on those who suffer it, by a set of intuitively understandable concepts including “poverty of speech” and “flight of ideas.” These concepts, however, are subjective in the sense that their quantification depends significantly on the particular training and ultimate judgment of individual psychiatrists. The evaluation of a patient is not only subject to this uncertainty, but also to the availability of these highly trained professionals, and to the clinical facilities where evaluation is usually performed.
The IBM Research team for Computational Psychiatry and Neuroimaging has been developing methods intended to mitigate these limitations using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to provide a consistent (i.e. evaluator-independent) neuropsychiatric evaluation from speech samples, which could be delivered remotely. In collaboration with academic researchers, we published results in 2015 showing that it is possible to use AI to model differences in speech patterns between high-risk patients who subsequently developed psychosis and those who did not. Those results were obtained by analyzing baseline interviews in which patients talk about themselves for close to one hour, using the AI method Natural Language Processing (NLP) to quantify the notion of “poverty of speech” as syntactic complexity, and “flight of ideas” as semantic coherence. While successful, this approach had several limitations: only one cohort, from a single location, and using a single evaluation protocol.
The figure plots the average and standard deviation of the values of the two main factors that provide for conversion (i.e. transition from at-risk to onset) prediction. There are four groups: controls (CTR), patients at-risk (clinical high risk) who do not transition to psychosis (CHR-), patients who do eventually transition (CHR+), and patients who have already transitioned to psychosis (FEP, i.e. first episode). The horizontal axis is related to the maximal value of semantic discourse coherence; observe that the control population have higher values. The vertical axis corresponds to the variance of the coherence; in this case the patients who eventually transition to psychosis (CHR+) show a higher value, meaning that they oscillate between being highly incoherent to being highly coherent. Those who have already converted (FEP), on the other hand, have low maximal coherence, and low variance; i.e. the stay always incoherent.
In a recent paper, Prediction of psychosis across protocols and risk cohorts using automated language analysis, published in the top-ranked psychiatry journal, World Psychiatry, we took steps toward overcoming these limitations. Studying a different and larger patient cohort, from a different location and a very different evaluation protocol (patients being asked about how they understood a story they read), we built a retrospective model of patient speech patterns that would have predicted with 83 percent accuracy whether a patient subsequently developed psychosis. Significantly, this model also would have predicted with 79 percent accuracy whether patients in the earlier cohort would have developed psychosis. That is, the automated, AI-enabled analysis of the speech patterns of these at-risk patients may have the potential to be highly predictive of the future onset of psychosis in a way that bridges differences in recruitment criteria between institutions, and the specifics of the probing protocol.
We believe this is a significant step towards the goal of developing a tool for mental health practitioners, caregivers and patients themselves with a tool that can expand and multiply the reach of neuropsychiatric assessment outside of the clinic. Stay tuned to hear more about the work we are doing in several other mental health conditions such as depression, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases and chronic pain, among others.
The recent paper is a collaboration with Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, Columbia University, UCLA and the Universities of Melbourne, Australia, and Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Let me start by reminding you all that I was trained as a lawyer. So, my point of view may be a little slanted. However, I no longer practice, and never had a trial practice. So, please don't accuse me of being one of "them."
We have heard a lot from the Bush campaign about the need to make wholesale changes in medical malpractice litigation, to stop those greedy lawyers from filing frivolous lawsuits, which are being blamed as a major cause for exploding health costs.
Do any of you on this forum have any statistics to back up this claim? Let's assume that all medical malpractice lawsuits were banned. If that could happen, what would be the impact on medical costs?
The entire public discussion about medical malpractice has bothered me for some time. It seems to demonize lawyers, while saying nothing about those who cause the problem: the doctors and medical personnel who provide the services that cause the harm to people, which lead to the lawsuits.
For every medical malpractice lawsuit, there needs to be somebody who was allegedly medically harmed by a care provider. And, for every medical malpractice lawsuit, there must be a care provider who allegedly provided negligent services. Otherwise, there could be no lawsuit.
That being the case, why isn't there more public debate about the level of care being provided in this country today? Why isn't there more anger at the amount of shoddy health care being provided?
It seems to me that the medical profession has brought a lot of this on itself. Over the years, medical professionals (primarily physicians) have taken on god-like personas. They present an aura of authority, and assert that their medical recommendations are not to be questioned, nor do they portray any self doubt.
This, in my estimation, has led to a situation in which medical professionals have created unrealistic expectations in their patients.
If medical professionals had been a little more humble, or if medical professionals had been a little more honest with their patients about the risks involved, and more honest about how much medicine is still an art instead of a science, the expectation levels would be much lower. And, as a result, the standards for what is a "reasonable man" in negligence terms, would be much lower.
A good example of this "lowering of expectations" is in the area of legal malpractice, something a bit closer to home for me. Attorneys are admittedly agressive, self-righteous and arrogant. However, they are very careful to make sure their clients understand that the practice of law is an art, not a science; and that, consequently, there is no guarantee of any particular result.
come as the result of insufficient communication between the attorney and his/her client. When the result is negative and the attorney has not sufficiently communicated the facts, the law and the situation to the client, then there is a legal "disconnect" which oftentimes leads to lawsuits and Bar complaints (many of which are frivolous). And, as a participant in a couple of these frivolous Bar complaints, I have personal knowledge of how this "disconnect" happens when I have not communicated properly with my clients.
If medical care providers used this standard of communication, perhaps the medical "disconnect" would be lower, as well as the expectations that the care provider will be able to cure the medical problem; and this, in turn, could lead to reduced litigation.

The most significant ransomware attacks in the history of the internet are in 74 countries around the world. It spread to 99 countries on Monday. Encrypt over 250,000 computer information. There are many significant hospitals, railway stations, power stations, gas stations, universities and technology companies. So far, more than 350,000 computers in 150 countries have been infected with this WINNER / WCry / WannaCrypt / Wanna Decryptor / WannaCrypt0r 2.0 virus. These ransomware attacks have infected users of most Microsoft Windows operating systems.
So what Do you change windows?
Ransomware is one kind of malware. These malware claim to have a ransom or a ransom from the user for not doing any harm after the attack. This type of malware attacks computers and saves all information and takes control of all the information on the computer and prevents users from accessing their information or any entry to the data.
WannaCry runs the encryption of computer data and asks for 300 dollars from the user to get back the computer data and information.
1. So far the UK hospitals, some Spanish companies, and 11 other countries have confirmed the attack.
2. According to Kaspersky, 45,000 attacks have been carried out in 74 countries. Among them are FedEx, NHS, Russian Interior Ministry.
3. Microsoft Windows operating system error has been applied. In April, this attack was carried out using a shadow broker called hacker’s security errors and programs.
4. 16 hospitals in the UK have been attacked. Doctors can not see the patient’s file. However, Prime Minister Thrace May said that no evidence of theft of any patient information was found.
5. Starting from the doc file, it can hold all the files needed by the media file, XL file.
6. Nobody has claimed responsibility for this attack.
7. According to the latest information from Elliptic, $ 82,644.72 (66,60,760) dollars has been given to these attackers (Elliptic is a biking firm that is monitoring this phenomenon).According to the technology experts, since no complicated code was used in this malware (the system could be made more complicated), so many more cyber attacks are awaiting the attackers, probably by attackers, this attack was predicted by a major attack, the New York Times reported.
Maybe the attack, the more dangerous any cyber attack !!!!!!
And do not take any risks right now, take action to protect your computer against any cyber attack.
How to protect your computer?Most of the victims are Windows 7 operating systems.
You install Windows 7’s latest security update.
Because of the attack, all computers were using the old windows. Microsoft has asked users to update their Windows updates.
Do not open any email from an unknown address. Even if any suspicious mail comes from a known email, it is not open.Do not download any suspicious files. Do not go to any suspicious website.
1) Go to Control Panel. You can go from the Start menu.
3) Click Turn Windows Features On or Off.
4) Tick the SMB 1.0 / CIFS File Sharing Support option from the feature list and restart your PC.Now your PC is protected from Ransomware Attacks.
1) Go to Control Panel. You can go to the Start Menu.
2) Go to System and Security and go to Windows Firewall.
3) Go to Turn Windows Firewall On or Off.
4) Configure the image below.
5) Now go to Advanced Settings and go to Inbound Rules and then click on New Rule.
6) Select Port and click Next.
7) Select TCP and go to Specific Local Ports and click Next 445.
8) Click on Block The Connection and click Next.
9) Tick the Domain, Private and Public three and click on Next.
10) Click on Finis 445 in the Name Room. 445 will be saved.
11) Go back to Inbound Rules and go to New Rule and then click on Port and click Next. Now from here, select UDP and 445 days in the specific local ports. Then click on Next.
12) Tick the Domain, Private and Public three and click on Next.
13) Click Finish with 445 up in the Name Room.
Complete your settings. Now your computer is completely free from the Ransomware Attacks.
Follow one of the methods. Do not mix two methods.
General Anti-Virus cannot provide maximum protection against Ransomware, so we need separate Anti-Ransomware software.
Anti-Ransomware software will protect you from any ransomware attack. And if somehow your victim of a PC attack is lost, then this software will not allow the files to be encrypted and will remove the ransomware.
And using Anti-Ransomware software, there will be no need to change any settings in Windows, which means there is no problem.
There is much anti-ransomware software in the nets. But not all are good and Ransomware itself, behind many such software masks. So you have to be very careful.
In my opinion, you can use IOBit’s Pro version of Malware Fighter 5. It’s a Malware Fighter, but it’s also a great anti-ransomware There is a free version of it, but it will not be adequately protected. I use the Pro version of Malware Fighter 5 and believe that this is the best one.
To attack Ransomware on PC, it will give you the warning, and if you give permission, delete it, and Ransomware will block it if not allowed and will prevent any access.If you enjoyed the post, please take a moment to share this post with your friends and let them know about this.

I have a ASUS A7V333 motherboard with 2x256MB KingMax PC2700 DDR333 RAM and have 1 RAM slot free.
I was wondering whether a stick of 512MB Kingmax PC3200 DDR400 RAM would be compatible with my motherboard and existing RAM to bring the total to 1GB or would a 512MB Kingston PC2700 DDR333 RAM be better?
It depends. I would think that it will be compatible but the real question is how much benefit you'll get. If your motherboard supports dual-channel access, it would definitely be worth getting the 2 x 256MB sticks as you could run them in dual channel mode.
The ram will work fine but will drop back to PC2700 333 speeds.
I know your Mobo as it was my previous one: no dual channel, it appeared with my present Mobo the A7V880 (oh, I forgot, I had the A7V600 in between).
DDR 400 (PC3200) won't benefit you in terms of memory speed as you have DDR 333 (PC2700) already: the DDR 400 will automatically be down clocked to DDR 333. And I don't remember if the A7V333 supports DDR 400, I think it isn't.
If you can afford it, I'd replace the 2x256 DDR 333 with one single 1Go DDR 333 memory stick (around 75€ in FroggyLand where I live), as mismatched size of memory sticks is sometimes a source of troubles.
Yeah, since my mobo doesn't support dual channel I will just buy a 1GB stick.
Should I just sell the 2x256 KingMax I already have or install the 1GB alongside them for 1.5GB memory?
Well, I managed to sell both the old sticks for £22 which I think is good seing as how a 512MB stick costs around £25 new so I'm buying the 1GB Crucial RAM for £50 from Dabs.com soon and hope all is well unless its available somewhere else for cheaper?
Anyway I figured I didn't really need 1.5GB of RAM and don't feel comfortable in mixing different sizes and brands of RAM.
Would there be any performance difference between 1 x 1GB or 2 x 512MB even though my motherboard is not dual-channel?
no performance difference really unless the memory operates faster by design. Crucial mainstream ram is usually fairly quick. You'd only get faster by moving into the enthusiast ram market.
Received the 1GB of RAM today and installed it. All is working fine. Thanks!
Good to hear it, well done.

The controversy, spurred in part by President Donald Trump's attacks on the National Football League, has resurfaced multiple times since 2016, elevating partisan ire each time.
Reports from Yahoo and CBS Sports said Nike is expected to release a new line of Kaepernick-related apparel soon, but the image posted to social media was enough to prompt some to call for a boycott of the company. I wonder if they had any idea that it would be this way?
"I think it's a awful message that they're sending and the goal of them doing it, maybe there's a reason for them doing it", Trump said in an interview with The Daily Caller.
While the campaign has prompted backlash from consumers who do not agree with Kaepernick's stance, PR and marketing pros largely said on Twitter that the campaign is "brilliant".
While Nike officials were likely thrilled with the attention their campaign received, they probably didn't expect a plug from a man who doesn't believe women should be able to wear any of Nike's clothing.
So far the President Trump has yet to weigh in on Nike's new campaign.
Tennis great Williams - a long-term Nike athlete - tweeted on Monday that she was "especially proud to be a part of the Nike family today".
"I feel like that was a really powerful statement to a lot of other companies". "[Nike is] picking a side, and I don't think that's going to negatively affect them in the long run", Morris said. While some supported Kaepernick, stating that his protest did not disrespect the flag or the country, others joked on how people burning their Nike products made no difference to the company as they already purchased them.
More recently, he had termed Trump's performance at a news conference with Russian president Vladimir Putin as "disgraceful". He said McCain was considered a war hero "because he was captured" and said he liked "people that weren't captured".
We've got an unbelievable veteran leader in Phil who's been around the Ryder Cup since before some of these guys were born. Woods was an assistant at Hazeltine and at the Presidents Cup last fall at Liberty National in a US route.

Thinking in terms of overlapping atomic orbitals is one way for us to explain how chemical bonds form in diatomic molecules. However, to understand how molecules with more than two atoms form stable bonds, we require a more detailed model. As an example, let us consider the water molecule, in which we have one oxygen atom bonding to two hydrogen atoms. Oxygen has the electron configuration 1s22s22p4, with two unpaired electrons (one in each of the two 2p orbitals). Valence bond theory would predict that the two O–H bonds form from the overlap of these two 2p orbitals with the 1s orbitals of the hydrogen atoms. If this were the case, the bond angle would be 90°, as shown in [link], because p orbitals are perpendicular to each other. Experimental evidence shows that the bond angle is 104.5°, not 90°. The prediction of the valence bond theory model does not match the real-world observations of a water molecule; a different model is needed.
Quantum-mechanical calculations suggest why the observed bond angles in H2O differ from those predicted by the overlap of the 1s orbital of the hydrogen atoms with the 2p orbitals of the oxygen atom. The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals, LCAO, (a technique that we will encounter again later). The new orbitals that result are called hybrid orbitals. The valence orbitals in an isolated oxygen atom are a 2s orbital and three 2p orbitals. The valence orbitals in an oxygen atom in a water molecule differ; they consist of four equivalent hybrid orbitals that point approximately toward the corners of a tetrahedron ([link]). Consequently, the overlap of the O and H orbitals should result in a tetrahedral bond angle (109.5°). The observed angle of 104.5° is experimental evidence for which quantum-mechanical calculations give a useful explanation: Valence bond theory must include a hybridization component to give accurate predictions.
(a) A water molecule has four regions of electron density, so VSEPR theory predicts a tetrahedral arrangement of hybrid orbitals. (b) Two of the hybrid orbitals on oxygen contain lone pairs, and the other two overlap with the 1s orbitals of hydrogen atoms to form the O–H bonds in H2O. This description is more consistent with the experimental structure.
Hybrid orbitals do not exist in isolated atoms. They are formed only in covalently bonded atoms.
Hybrid orbitals have shapes and orientations that are very different from those of the atomic orbitals in isolated atoms.
A set of hybrid orbitals is generated by combining atomic orbitals. The number of hybrid orbitals in a set is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that were combined to produce the set.
All orbitals in a set of hybrid orbitals are equivalent in shape and energy.
The type of hybrid orbitals formed in a bonded atom depends on its electron-pair geometry as predicted by the VSEPR theory.
Hybrid orbitals overlap to form σ bonds. Unhybridized orbitals overlap to form π bonds.
In the following sections, we shall discuss the common types of hybrid orbitals.
The beryllium atom in a gaseous BeCl2 molecule is an example of a central atom with no lone pairs of electrons in a linear arrangement of three atoms. There are two regions of valence electron density in the BeCl2 molecule that correspond to the two covalent Be–Cl bonds. To accommodate these two electron domains, two of the Be atom’s four valence orbitals will mix to yield two hybrid orbitals. This hybridization process involves mixing of the valence s orbital with one of the valence p orbitals to yield two equivalent sp hybrid orbitals that are oriented in a linear geometry ([link]). In this figure, the set of sp orbitals appears similar in shape to the original p orbital, but there is an important difference. The number of atomic orbitals combined always equals the number of hybrid orbitals formed. The p orbital is one orbital that can hold up to two electrons. The sp set is two equivalent orbitals that point 180° from each other. The two electrons that were originally in the s orbital are now distributed to the two sp orbitals, which are half filled. In gaseous BeCl2, these half-filled hybrid orbitals will overlap with orbitals from the chlorine atoms to form two identical σ bonds.
Hybridization of an s orbital (blue) and a p orbital (red) of the same atom produces two sp hybrid orbitals (yellow). Each hybrid orbital is oriented primarily in just one direction. Note that each sp orbital contains one lobe that is significantly larger than the other. The set of two sp orbitals are oriented at 180°, which is consistent with the geometry for two domains.
We illustrate the electronic differences in an isolated Be atom and in the bonded Be atom in the orbital energy-level diagram in [link]. These diagrams represent each orbital by a horizontal line (indicating its energy) and each electron by an arrow. Energy increases toward the top of the diagram. We use one upward arrow to indicate one electron in an orbital and two arrows (up and down) to indicate two electrons of opposite spin.
This orbital energy-level diagram shows the sp hybridized orbitals on Be in the linear BeCl2 molecule. Each of the two sp hybrid orbitals holds one electron and is thus half filled and available for bonding via overlap with a Cl 3p orbital.
When atomic orbitals hybridize, the valence electrons occupy the newly created orbitals. The Be atom had two valence electrons, so each of the sp orbitals gets one of these electrons. Each of these electrons pairs up with the unpaired electron on a chlorine atom when a hybrid orbital and a chlorine orbital overlap during the formation of the Be–Cl bonds.
Any central atom surrounded by just two regions of valence electron density in a molecule will exhibit sp hybridization. Other examples include the mercury atom in the linear HgCl2 molecule, the zinc atom in Zn(CH3)2, which contains a linear C–Zn–C arrangement, and the carbon atoms in HCCH and CO2.
Check out the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh website to learn about visualizing hybrid orbitals in three dimensions.
The valence orbitals of a central atom surrounded by three regions of electron density consist of a set of three sp2 hybrid orbitals and one unhybridized p orbital. This arrangement results from sp2 hybridization, the mixing of one s orbital and two p orbitals to produce three identical hybrid orbitals oriented in a trigonal planar geometry ([link]).
The hybridization of an s orbital (blue) and two p orbitals (red) produces three equivalent sp2 hybridized orbitals (yellow) oriented at 120° with respect to each other. The remaining unhybridized p orbital is not shown here, but is located along the z axis.
Although quantum mechanics yields the “plump” orbital lobes as depicted in [link], sometimes for clarity these orbitals are drawn thinner and without the minor lobes, as in [link], to avoid obscuring other features of a given illustration. We will use these “thinner” representations whenever the true view is too crowded to easily visualize.
This alternate way of drawing the trigonal planar sp2 hybrid orbitals is sometimes used in more crowded figures.
The observed structure of the borane molecule, BH3, suggests sp2 hybridization for boron in this compound. The molecule is trigonal planar, and the boron atom is involved in three bonds to hydrogen atoms ([link]). We can illustrate the comparison of orbitals and electron distribution in an isolated boron atom and in the bonded atom in BH3 as shown in the orbital energy level diagram in [link]. We redistribute the three valence electrons of the boron atom in the three sp2 hybrid orbitals, and each boron electron pairs with a hydrogen electron when B–H bonds form.
BH3 is an electron-deficient molecule with a trigonal planar structure.
In an isolated B atom, there are one 2s and three 2p valence orbitals. When boron is in a molecule with three regions of electron density, three of the orbitals hybridize and create a set of three sp2 orbitals and one unhybridized 2p orbital. The three half-filled hybrid orbitals each overlap with an orbital from a hydrogen atom to form three σ bonds in BH3.
Any central atom surrounded by three regions of electron density will exhibit sp2 hybridization. This includes molecules with a lone pair on the central atom, such as ClNO ([link]), or molecules with two single bonds and a double bond connected to the central atom, as in formaldehyde, CH2O, and ethene, H2CCH2.
The central atom(s) in each of the structures shown contain three regions of electron density and are sp2 hybridized. As we know from the discussion of VSEPR theory, a region of electron density contains all of the electrons that point in one direction. A lone pair, an unpaired electron, a single bond, or a multiple bond would each count as one region of electron density.
The valence orbitals of an atom surrounded by a tetrahedral arrangement of bonding pairs and lone pairs consist of a set of four sp3 hybrid orbitals. The hybrids result from the mixing of one s orbital and all three p orbitals that produces four identical sp3 hybrid orbitals ([link]). Each of these hybrid orbitals points toward a different corner of a tetrahedron.
The hybridization of an s orbital (blue) and three p orbitals (red) produces four equivalent sp3 hybridized orbitals (yellow) oriented at 109.5° with respect to each other.
A molecule of methane, CH4, consists of a carbon atom surrounded by four hydrogen atoms at the corners of a tetrahedron. The carbon atom in methane exhibits sp3 hybridization. We illustrate the orbitals and electron distribution in an isolated carbon atom and in the bonded atom in CH4 in [link]. The four valence electrons of the carbon atom are distributed equally in the hybrid orbitals, and each carbon electron pairs with a hydrogen electron when the C–H bonds form.
The four valence atomic orbitals from an isolated carbon atom all hybridize when the carbon bonds in a molecule like CH4 with four regions of electron density. This creates four equivalent sp3 hybridized orbitals. Overlap of each of the hybrid orbitals with a hydrogen orbital creates a C–H σ bond.
In a methane molecule, the 1s orbital of each of the four hydrogen atoms overlaps with one of the four sp3 orbitals of the carbon atom to form a sigma (σ) bond. This results in the formation of four strong, equivalent covalent bonds between the carbon atom and each of the hydrogen atoms to produce the methane molecule, CH4.
The structure of ethane, C2H6, is similar to that of methane in that each carbon in ethane has four neighboring atoms arranged at the corners of a tetrahedron—three hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom ([link]). However, in ethane an sp3 orbital of one carbon atom overlaps end to end with an sp3 orbital of a second carbon atom to form a σ bond between the two carbon atoms. Each of the remaining sp3 hybrid orbitals overlaps with an s orbital of a hydrogen atom to form carbon–hydrogen σ bonds. The structure and overall outline of the bonding orbitals of ethane are shown in [link]. The orientation of the two CH3 groups is not fixed relative to each other. Experimental evidence shows that rotation around σ bonds occurs easily.
(a) In the ethane molecule, C2H6, each carbon has four sp3 orbitals. (b) These four orbitals overlap to form seven σ bonds.
An sp3 hybrid orbital can also hold a lone pair of electrons. For example, the nitrogen atom in ammonia is surrounded by three bonding pairs and a lone pair of electrons directed to the four corners of a tetrahedron. The nitrogen atom is sp3 hybridized with one hybrid orbital occupied by the lone pair.
The molecular structure of water is consistent with a tetrahedral arrangement of two lone pairs and two bonding pairs of electrons. Thus we say that the oxygen atom is sp3 hybridized, with two of the hybrid orbitals occupied by lone pairs and two by bonding pairs. Since lone pairs occupy more space than bonding pairs, structures that contain lone pairs have bond angles slightly distorted from the ideal. Perfect tetrahedra have angles of 109.5°, but the observed angles in ammonia (107.3°) and water (104.5°) are slightly smaller. Other examples of sp3 hybridization include CCl4, PCl3, and NCl3.
To describe the five bonding orbitals in a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement, we must use five of the valence shell atomic orbitals (the s orbital, the three p orbitals, and one of the d orbitals), which gives five sp3d hybrid orbitals. With an octahedral arrangement of six hybrid orbitals, we must use six valence shell atomic orbitals (the s orbital, the three p orbitals, and two of the d orbitals in its valence shell), which gives six sp3d2 hybrid orbitals. These hybridizations are only possible for atoms that have d orbitals in their valence subshells (that is, not those in the first or second period).
The three compounds pictured exhibit sp3d hybridization in the central atom and a trigonal bipyramid form. SF4 and have one lone pair of electrons on the central atom, and ClF3 has two lone pairs giving it the T-shape shown.
(a) The five regions of electron density around phosphorus in PCl5 require five hybrid sp3d orbitals. (b) These orbitals combine to form a trigonal bipyramidal structure with each large lobe of the hybrid orbital pointing at a vertex. As before, there are also small lobes pointing in the opposite direction for each orbital (not shown for clarity).
The sulfur atom in sulfur hexafluoride, SF6, exhibits sp3d2 hybridization. A molecule of sulfur hexafluoride has six bonding pairs of electrons connecting six fluorine atoms to a single sulfur atom. There are no lone pairs of electrons on the central atom. To bond six fluorine atoms, the 3s orbital, the three 3p orbitals, and two of the 3d orbitals form six equivalent sp3d2 hybrid orbitals, each directed toward a different corner of an octahedron. Other atoms that exhibit sp3d2 hybridization include the phosphorus atom in the iodine atom in the interhalogens IF5, and the xenon atom in XeF4.
(a) Sulfur hexafluoride, SF6, has an octahedral structure that requires sp3d2 hybridization. (b) The six sp3d2 orbitals form an octahedral structure around sulfur. Again, the minor lobe of each orbital is not shown for clarity.
Determine the Lewis structure of the molecule.
Determine the number of regions of electron density around an atom using VSEPR theory, in which single bonds, multiple bonds, radicals, and lone pairs each count as one region.
Assign the set of hybridized orbitals from [link] that corresponds to this geometry.
The shapes of hybridized orbital sets are consistent with the electron-pair geometries. For example, an atom surrounded by three regions of electron density is sp2 hybridized, and the three sp2 orbitals are arranged in a trigonal planar fashion.
It is important to remember that hybridization was devised to rationalize experimentally observed molecular geometries. The model works well for molecules containing small central atoms, in which the valence electron pairs are close together in space. However, for larger central atoms, the valence-shell electron pairs are farther from the nucleus, and there are fewer repulsions. Their compounds exhibit structures that are often not consistent with VSEPR theory, and hybridized orbitals are not necessary to explain the observed data. For example, we have discussed the H–O–H bond angle in H2O, 104.5°, which is more consistent with sp3 hybrid orbitals (109.5°) on the central atom than with 2p orbitals (90°). Sulfur is in the same group as oxygen, and H2S has a similar Lewis structure. However, it has a much smaller bond angle (92.1°), which indicates much less hybridization on sulfur than oxygen. Continuing down the group, tellurium is even larger than sulfur, and for H2Te, the observed bond angle (90°) is consistent with overlap of the 5p orbitals, without invoking hybridization. We invoke hybridization where it is necessary to explain the observed structures.
The Lewis structure of sulfate shows there are four regions of electron density. The hybridization is sp3.
What is the hybridization of the selenium atom in SeF4?
The selenium atom is sp3d hybridized.
Urea, NH2C(O)NH2, is sometimes used as a source of nitrogen in fertilizers. What is the hybridization of each nitrogen and carbon atom in urea?
The nitrogen atoms are surrounded by four regions of electron density, which arrange themselves in a tetrahedral electron-pair geometry. The hybridization in a tetrahedral arrangement is sp3 ([link]). This is the hybridization of the nitrogen atoms in urea.
The carbon atom is surrounded by three regions of electron density, positioned in a trigonal planar arrangement. The hybridization in a trigonal planar electron pair geometry is sp2 ([link]), which is the hybridization of the carbon atom in urea.
Acetic acid, H3CC(O)OH, is the molecule that gives vinegar its odor and sour taste. What is the hybridization of the two carbon atoms in acetic acid?
We can use hybrid orbitals, which are mathematical combinations of some or all of the valence atomic orbitals, to describe the electron density around covalently bonded atoms. These hybrid orbitals either form sigma (σ) bonds directed toward other atoms of the molecule or contain lone pairs of electrons. We can determine the type of hybridization around a central atom from the geometry of the regions of electron density about it. Two such regions imply sp hybridization; three, sp2 hybridization; four, sp3 hybridization; five, sp3d hybridization; and six, sp3d2 hybridization. Pi (π) bonds are formed from unhybridized atomic orbitals (p or d orbitals).
Why is the concept of hybridization required in valence bond theory?
Hybridization is introduced to explain the geometry of bonding orbitals in valance bond theory.
Explain why a carbon atom cannot form five bonds using sp3d hybrid orbitals.
There are no d orbitals in the valence shell of carbon.
What is the hybridization of the central atom in each of the following?
A molecule with the formula AB3 could have one of four different shapes. Give the shape and the hybridization of the central A atom for each.
Methionine, CH3SCH2CH2CH(NH2)CO2H, is an amino acid found in proteins. Draw a Lewis structure of this compound. What is the hybridization type of each carbon, oxygen, the nitrogen, and the sulfur?
(a) Draw a Lewis structure.
(b) Predict the geometry about the carbon atom.
(c) Determine the hybridization of each type of carbon atom.
For many years after they were discovered, it was believed that the noble gases could not form compounds. Now we know that belief to be incorrect. A mixture of xenon and fluorine gases, confined in a quartz bulb and placed on a windowsill, is found to slowly produce a white solid. Analysis of the compound indicates that it contains 77.55% Xe and 22.45% F by mass.
(a) What is the formula of the compound?
(b) Write a Lewis structure for the compound.
(c) Predict the shape of the molecules of the compound.
(d) What hybridization is consistent with the shape you predicted?
Consider nitrous acid, HNO2 (HONO).
(a) Write a Lewis structure.
(b) What are the electron pair and molecular geometries of the internal oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the HNO2 molecule?
(c) What is the hybridization on the internal oxygen and nitrogen atoms in HNO2?
Strike-anywhere matches contain a layer of KClO3 and a layer of P4S3. The heat produced by the friction of striking the match causes these two compounds to react vigorously, which sets fire to the wooden stem of the match. KClO3 contains the ion. P4S3 is an unusual molecule with the skeletal structure.
(a) Write Lewis structures for P4S3 and the ion.
(b) Describe the geometry about the P atoms, the S atom, and the Cl atom in these species.
(c) Assign a hybridization to the P atoms, the S atom, and the Cl atom in these species.
(d) Determine the oxidation states and formal charge of the atoms in P4S3 and the ion.
Write Lewis structures for NF3 and PF5. On the basis of hybrid orbitals, explain the fact that NF3, PF3, and PF5 are stable molecules, but NF5 does not exist.
Phosphorus and nitrogen can form sp3 hybrids to form three bonds and hold one lone pair in PF3 and NF3, respectively. However, nitrogen has no valence d orbitals, so it cannot form a set of sp3d hybrid orbitals to bind five fluorine atoms in NF5. Phosphorus has d orbitals and can bind five fluorine atoms with sp3d hybrid orbitals in PF5.
In addition to NF3, two other fluoro derivatives of nitrogen are known: N2F4 and N2F2. What shapes do you predict for these two molecules? What is the hybridization for the nitrogen in each molecule?
1 Note that orbitals may sometimes be drawn in an elongated “balloon” shape rather than in a more realistic “plump” shape in order to make the geometry easier to visualize.

When the history of a new Indo-British partnership, post 1991, is written, the name of Lord Kumar Bhattacharyya will be written in letters of gold.
He pushed the economic and industrial relationship higher and higher, breaking new ground and building new pathways. The Warwick Manufacturing Group took special leadership, bringing the best of manufacturing know how to Indian industry.This was institutionalised with the CII through a Centre of Excellence in Manufacturing, sponsored by Godrej & Boyce and located in Vikhroli, Mumbai. He projected this as an Indo-British Partnership Initiative.
In CII, he found a partner desperate to give priority to manufacturing, which had become uncompetitive in the decades post-Independence because of a lack of competition and pressure.
An important dimension was the several hundred Indian engineers trained at the Warwick Manufacturing Group. These engineers are scattered all over India working in a variety of industries. Lord Bhattacharyya therefore helped create a human resource army ready to face the world in manufacturing. This programme faced many challenges but he persisted in the mission to help Indian industry transform itself.
When he began the journey with India and CII, he was “The Prof”. Later, he was made “Lord” but he was always the Prof to India. And a small example of his commitment to the Indo-British Partnership happened pre-general elections in the UK in 1997. Tony Blair, campaigning to win for the Labour Party, visited Warwick Manufacturing Group. Professor invited and introduced Supriya Banerji, head, CII UK, to Tony Blair. And, soon after, when Tony Blair won and became prime minister, an early meeting was with CII’s CEO Mission, again thanks to the intervention of “The Prof”.
Another key role he played was connecting the leadership of the two countries, especially after the nuclear tests and adverse global reaction. He met former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, deputy prime minister L K Advani and foreign minister Jaswant Singh informally, and repeatedly, acting as a quiet bridge between the policy and decision makers. It was fitting that the government of India recognised his services to the nation with a prestigious Padma award.
He also worked quietly with the Indian High Commissioner in London, Ambassador Ronen Sen, to facilitate a regular dialogue with British media, especially the Financial Times, to project India.
Lord Bhattacharyya, of course, contributed enormously to the British manufacturing industry and received multiple awards in recognition. In particular in 2016, he was appointed Professor Regius of manufacturing which was an appointment by the Queen.
Beyond India and the UK he built close links with China, the US and Japan counselling and mentoring the development of manufacturing industry. So his partnership stretched across the globe.
Beyond countries and beyond institutions, like the CII, this unique man became mentor and guide to some of India’s premier business groups. Two examples are the Tata group and the TVS Motors group. And, he brought Ratan Tata and Venu Srinivasan together under his umbrella, helped build friendship and mutual trust which led to Venu joining the Tata Sons board and, later, became vice-chairman of Tata Trusts. Another unique aspect of this man was that he never accepted any payment from anyone. It was all about friendship and caring. He was a “giver” never a “taker”.
On the personal front, during the lifetime of his mother who lived in Calcutta, he made a daily morning calls to her.
Of course, he was not perfect, in fact happily absent minded always losing his specs. So his wife Bridie kept an extra pair everywhere at home.
And when he was asked how he was the answer was unchanging: “I am fine”. He was always fine. His wife Bridie was fine. His three daughters, Anita, Tina and Malini were fine.
This was the great man who passed away on March 1, 2019.

We will be going to some new places, and some normal ones, ministering in new churches in Managua and Sebaco, and spending a good bit of time in Matagalpa among longtime and new friends.
Our main thrust will be the retreat, happening Oct 29 thru Nov 1. We will be assembling a small group from around the Pacific coast of the country, asking the Lord to come among us and bless. Please agree with us for this.
We want to go deeper in our relationship with the Lord and each other, asking to leave closer than we came, with God and fellow mortals.
We should be posting video and frequent ground updates here!. Check them out and let us know anything the Lord shows you.
Thanks for your friendship to the Lord and His people.
Your grace is sustaining our lives / life itself. Surrounded by it, without realizing it, we continue on as if nothing were steadying us.
The season when the earth has sorrows like a woman in labor is the season when the church takes child birth classes. Prepare!
For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.

We found our perfect venue and worked to create a style that would complement the intricate detail of the space. Our goal was to break the traditional ideas of wedding style and colour, and show brides how beautiful a wedding can be, when you think outside of traditional colour palettes and design.
Originally built as a Department store in 1907 with an addition in 1910, the Burroughes is continually defining Queen Street West as the tallest building on this trendy stretch. The Burroughes was not always known as such. Only until recently, once Queen Street Partners purchased and repositioned the property, did the name emerge. After much thoughtful research and consideration did what we celebrate today become a recognized brand.

Adults and adolescents who participate in our Community Empowerment Program (CEP) learn that education is a human right.
Limited access to education, especially for women and girls, presents a serious obstacle to community growth and development in many parts of rural Africa.
Through our holistic, non-formal education program, adults and adolescents with little or no experience with schooling learn about their human right to education. Empowered to develop a vision for their community’s development, dialogue is generated on the importance of education for women and girls and how their participation is integral to community success. Using this foundation, Tostan teaches community members skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, literacy, and numeracy.
Our partner communities make health, hygiene, and disease prevention a priority in their communities.
Harmful practices, limited access to health resources and care, and lack of awareness about hygiene put communities’ health at risk, particularly for girls and women.
During our Community Empowerment Program (CEP), participants learn about their human right to health. They also build their understanding of how germs spread, disease prevention, the importance of maintaining a clean environment, and harmful health consequences of practices such as female genital cutting (FGC) and child/forced marriage.
Communities lead initiatives that promote sustainable solutions to environmental issues.
Many communities in Africa are faced with serious environmental challenges including poor water and waste management, soil erosion, increasing desertification, and diseases caused by poor public hygiene.
Our partner communities often lack basic sanitation facilities, creating a physical environment which puts community health at risk.
Our Community Empowerment Program (CEP) equips community members with the knowledge and skills to find creative, sustainable solutions to the environmental issues in their communities.
Governance procedures and processes are often absent from the communities in which we work. This includes activities such as systematic birth registration, voter registration and the active participation of women and youth in decision-making. Participants in our program learn about the fundamental elements of democracy, their human rights, and the responsibilities associated with defending and respecting those rights.
Participants in our Community Empowerment Program (CEP) develop the skills needed to manage projects and run small businesses.
Although many African economies have experienced rapid growth over the past few years, unemployment remains high and economic opportunities in rural areas are still limited, especially for women.
Our Community Empowerment Program helps participants develop the practical skills needed to manage projects and run small businesses.
We also aim to jumpstart community entrepreneurship with Community Development Grants, distributed through the Community Management Committee.
During Tostan’s program, several key issues related to gender and social norms emerg, spanning the five impact areas.
Our Community Empowerment Program (CEP) aims to address each of these issues by building a foundation for positive social change through knowledge of human rights.
