Blood Transfusion Filter is woven mesh made by polyester or nylon, screen-type filter, placed between product bag and patient. This filter is designed to protect the patients from potentially harmful microaggregate and non-blood component particulate matter. These filters removes the microaggregates such as platelet, leucocyte and fibrin aggregates during blood transfusion. Filtration is based on direct interception to retain particles and microaggregates, which are comprised of leucocytes, fibrin, and platelets that form during the storage of blood. The blood transfusion filter ranges in size from 10 to 160?m and can therefore pass through the 170?m clot screen present in blood administration sets.
Even using the blood transfusion filter, there are some problem which likely to occur, such as, allergic reactions, viruses and infection disease, fever etc. However, the likelihood of contracting infections from a blood transfusion is very low (varies with the infectious agent from 1 in 350,000 to 1 in 1 million), but can occur.
On the basis of end user, the global blood transfusion filters market has been segmented into blood banks and hospitals. Among both, blood banks facility market to grow at a high growth rate, due to increasing blood transfer activity.
On the basis of regional presence, global blood transfusion filters market are segmented into five key regions viz. North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. North America remains dominant in the global blood transfusion filters market due to increasing number of hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers, which leads to increasing number of blood transfusion procedure. Europe is expected to hold second largest market share in global blood transfusion filters market due to awareness towards safe blood transfusion. Emerging markets such as APAC and Latin America are expected to see delayed growth.
In the majority of the developed countries, the blood transfusion filters are provided by the government or community-based programs. Some of the prominent players identified in global blood transfusion filters market are Asahi Kasei Medical, Haemonetics, Fresenius, Macopharma, Shandong Zhongbaokang, Nanjing Shuangwei, Chengdu Shuanglu, Braile Biomedica, Nanjing Cellgene.

My future ex-husband makes $90,000 a year. That's $20,000 less now from 2 months ago due to lay-off and new position. We have been married for 10 years but agreed that we were 1 month short to make the 10-year mark. He's agreed to pay $1,500 in alimony and $1,300 child support for each of our two children. This was calculated based on income and expenses and those amount are the remainder after the expenses. He said that my children and I are not entitled to his bonus and other income in the future. Is this correct? Am I getting a fair deal?
My future ex-husband makes $90,000 a year. That’s $20,000 less now from 2 months ago due to lay-off and new position. We have been married for 10 years but agreed that we were 1 month short to make the 10-year mark. He’s agreed to pay $1,500 in alimony and $1,300 child support for each of our two children. This was calculated based on income and expenses and those amount are the remainder after the expenses. He said that my children and I are not entitled to his bonus and other income in the future. Is this correct? Am I getting a fair deal?
You can make an estimate of what is a fair amount of alimony and child support depending on you and your children’s needs. Whatever you and your soon-to-be-ex-husband may agree on will be part of the final judgment. Whether it is fair or not will depend on your needs and expectations. But you really have to be careful and consult with a divorce lawyer before agreeing to any amount of support.
However, if you will let the court determine the amount, the computation for alimony varies depending on various factors the lifestyle during marriage, length of marriage, capacity of one spouse to earn and another to support, etc. While if the court will determine child support, then it will depend on a set formula based on the statewide uniform child support guideline (see http://www.childsup.ca.gov/Resources/CalculateChildSupport.aspx).
If you really want to make sure that you are getting a fair amount of support, work with an expert divorce and family law attorney for guidance.

Nueterra Global Alliance, a healthcare management company based in America’s Heartland, has been referring patients seeking medical tourism opportunities to destinations far from Kansas, both domestically and internationally.
As self-insured employers hop on the medical tourism bandwagon to save money, an American healthcare management company is finding a good deal of its business not in Kansas anymore.
Since launching last year, Nueterra Global Alliance has expanded by adding five providers to its existing portfolio of healthcare providers.
Nueterra Global Alliance has been referring patients to international destinations, where they find top quality healthcare for themselves and lower costs for the employers and insurance companies that finance their procedures and treatments.
By negotiating bundled payment options with a network of providers including hospitals, doctors, insurance companies and others, Nueterra Global Alliance helps keep costs down for patients willing to travel for treatment.
Up until now, travel had been primarily limited to overseas, but now, the company, based in Kansas — the Breadbasket of the United States � is seeing patients willing to journey across state lines for medical care.
According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute, about 58 percent of workers with health coverage were in self-insured plans in 2011. That�s up from 41 percent in 1998.
A self-insured employer typically will buy catastrophic health insurance for employees and then pay out individual claims. It�s a way to realize cost-savings for employers who spend a lot of time reinforcing wellness programs or preventive health measures for employees.
Nueterra Global Alliance recently added Houston Physicians’ Hospital to its provider network of healthcare destinations for global patients. The hospital is home to a three-airport system, which services more than 7 million international travelers. Its geographic proximity to Central and South America makes Houston an ideal destination for medical travelers from the region.
Markets for medical tourism are sizeable and continue to gain exposure. A recent study revealed that one-out-of-five patients would definitely consider traveling abroad to seek medical or dental treatment.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino faces huge selection decisions on Wednesday evening.
Jamie Carragher has claimed on Monday Night Football, which was broadcast on Sky Sports on 15th April, that Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino should start Lucas Moura on Wednesday evening.
Tottenham head into their match against Manchester City without Harry Kane available, which means that Pochettino will have to reshuffle his attack.
At the weekend, Tottenham opted to start with Fernando Llorente as their number nine at it worked well, as they ran out 4-0 winners over Huddersfield Town.
However, Carragher has backed Moura to start up-top for Spurs in midweek, with Llorente dropping out of the side.
“It was Huddersfield. That’s all you can say. No matter what team they put out they would have been fine,” Carragher said. “It was a great game to have between Champions League games.
“Obvious Lucas Moura gets the hat-trick but the big thing for me is that they brought Moura on instead of Llorente and they got the goal [in the last game against Manchester City].
Moura, who is on a £75,000-a-week contract (Sportac), scored a hat-trick for Tottenham against Huddersfield to give Pochettino a real selection dilemma ahead of the game at the Etihad Stadium.
Spurs head to Manchester looking to protect a 1-0 lead which they earned in the first-leg.
City will have to attack Tottenham, which means that Moura’s pace could be a real threat on the break.
If Spurs can find the back of the net against Pep Guardiola’s side then City will have to score three times to progress.

For fans of The Great British Bake Off, John Whaite needs little introduction. The baker won the third series of the TV show back in 2012 and is now the presenter and judge on ITV daytime cookery competition, Chopping Block.
John returns alongside top chef Rosemary Shrager for the second series of Chopping Block to put more amateur cooks to the test. The contestants, ranging from siblings and friends to co-workers and couples, must battle it out to be named the best cooks.
We spoke to John to find out all about the new series, his tips on hosting a dinner party, what makes an amazing kitchen, and the dishes he loves to eat and cook.
Can you tell us about the new series of Chopping Block?
We've really made the competition more about the food than ever. We've made the challenges harder, we sought better and stronger home cooks for the series, and it's really entertaining.
What was your favourite part of filming the show? And what were the challenges?
There are so many challenges. I think my favourite was one of the first challenges I gave them - a Guinness Battenberg. It's dark and mysterious, and tastes heavenly, but it isn't easy to make. Rosemary was on form for the series, with her regular bone-crunching (literally - those poor wood pigeons) culinary techniques.
What are your best tips for hosting a great dinner party?
First of all, just relax. So many people get so frightened and stressed about it all, but just treat it as a laid back family dinner and you'll be fine. I always avoid the formalities of place settings with the cutlery neatly on the table - just shove it in a ceramic jar, give everyone a plate, and let them sit with who they want to be around. My parents always forced people to sit in specific areas, but that just sees the conversation dry out quickly. When it comes to the food, just do regular food that you've tried and tested on your family. If you want to do something a little more impressive, then practise it and make sure it works. I even draw up time plans of what to do and when. And when it comes to any prep that you can get done in advance, do it. Of course, ensure plenty of booze (if appropriate) to keep the party alive.
What is your favourite dish to cook and eat?
That's an impossible question to answer because I eat everything and anything with the rapacity of a mad dog! I'm very fond of Asian flavours - shrimp paste, miso paste, sweet and sour ingredients. In terms of cooking, I honestly don't have a favourite. I'm constantly testing new recipes for Lorraine, Chopping Block or my cookery school, and so I never have time to reflect and re-make something - but I love that, I love how experimental my life has become.
What are your tips for creating an amazing kitchen?
I'm looking to do my own kitchen up at the moment. We've just bought a bungalow in an old quarry, and although the kitchen in that is fairly new, it's totally not my style. I like the style of the deVOL kitchens - shaker style with dark greys and blues, ceramic tiles and metallics dotted around. My cookery school is that way, but an industrial version of that. I like my entire house, including my kitchen, to feel womb-like. I'm not a fan of plain white walls and pristine ornaments dotted around; my house needs to feel lived in and protective.
How did it feel winning The Great British Bake Off?
Exhausting, but immensely exciting. Because the result was embargoed for about three months I had to plod along with my everyday life pretending like I hadn't won, so when I was able to reveal it all it was such a weight off my shoulders.
Aside from the GBBO win, what's been your best culinary highlight?
Opening my cookery school is the most memorable thing I've done. I'm so proud of what my partner, family, and I have created. It's the perfect creative environment for teaching, recipe testing and welcoming new people week in, week out to essentially cook and eat together.
In your cookery school, what do you love to teach the most?
Italian. I'm a carboholic, so I'm always keen to get my teeth around a ribbon of al dente tagliatelle. I love all the classes we hold, especially the Rustic French course with Tarte Tatin and Lemon Meringue Eclairs. So moreish!
Chopping Block starts on Monday 20 March, running weekdays at 3pm on ITV.

Before reporting back on board activities, I’d like first to say that the HOT Summit and FOSS4G in Dar es Salaam were incredible events! The quality of the conversation, the content and the company was so high and I’d like to thank everybody who attended and, especially, those who worked so hard to make it possible… Really felt like a milestone in HOT’s development; bringing together such a diverse range of people and communities. Looking forward to seeing what collaborations emerge!
The Strategy Working Group was formed for the first time this year to provide community input into HOT’s strategic planning process. The engagement from HOT members so far has been amazing, with lively and informed contributions across multiple meetings. Issues have been raised and ideas generated across a wide variety of themes and these have been documented. The period of community input was set initially to finish at around the time of the HOT Summit, but members felt that there was still more potential in community consultations, so we have extended that period.
More detail to come, but, in brief, a proposal from the Strategy Working Group was approved that extends the consultation period until the end of November. The discussions so far will form the basis of a collaborative document, accessible to all members, enabling you to comment, criticise, compliment and suggest. During this consultation, volunteers from the working group will help to moderate and edit the this document in order to represent as much as possible the opinion and perspective of the community. In December, the community strategy document will be folded in to the existing document written earlier in the year by the HOT board and staff and presented back to members by Tyler.
If you read the board meeting notes, you will know that this has been on the table for a few months now, but it is now signed off by the board. The aim of opening the board meetings to the membership is both to increase transparency around HOT’s decision-making process, and to increase the engagement between the board and the membership. This was done very effectively by the OpenStreetMap Foundation board this year (and big thanks to them for their support in helping us learn from their experiences).
Again, more details to come, but, essentially, all monthly board meeting will open for member observation on Mumble. The agenda will be published in advance and the minutes will continue to be published afterwards. Members will not be able to comment during board meeting proceedings as we already struggle to get through the agenda in the time we have! However, five minutes will be reserved at the end of each meeting for member questions.
The only deviation from this open model will be when there are agenda items that are deemed as sensitive and need private consideration. The decision on whether an item is closed will happen prior to the meeting and the item will be indicated on the agenda.
The above process is our first attempt at how to do this, so if we see a way to improve, we will try and adapt!
Again, not a new idea, but one that has re-emerged in recent discussions within the board.
HOT is now a >$2m organisation, operating in eight different countries with an ever-greater humanitarian, operational ambition and an increasingly diverse set of activities, partners and communities. As the HOT board, we have a responsibility for ensuring the development and success of HOT in achieving its mission. We also have a legal and financial responsibility for the organisation. Lastly, we have a mandate to represent the HOT community, through the membership. As HOT grows in all of these areas, the job of the board increases in complexity.
In its current incarnation, the board is very strong in some of these necessary areas and more representative and diverse than ever. However, there are aspects of our role where we acknowledge that we have a deficit of skill and experience. During the board meeting in Dar, we mapped these out and prioritised which were most critical and least covered by the current board. Top of the list were financial and legal.
A proposal was made several years ago to recruit an advisory council for HOT and we have now taken the decision to take this initiative forward by recruiting advisors in these two positions. How this works exactly is yet to be decided, but we will be working on defining the profile of person we need in these two roles to support decision-making at board level.
HOT straddles a line between a community organisation and a humanitarian NGO and the balance between the two is not always easy to maintain. However, we believe that it is important to try and achieve this, remaining true to the open, transparent and participatory nature of the community that HOT evolved from whilst delivering value through humanitarian action and development.
Opening the board meetings to members and further investing in the HOT strategy community consultations are both attempts to bring these two sides of HOT together, but we know they are not the only answers.
As a member, if you have an opinion on how we can do any of this better, we want to hear it. All of the board members are on the mailing list or you can contact us directly.
We look forward to seeing you at the next board meeting and working with you all to continue to make HOT an impactful, innovative and inclusive organisation.

We are the ones responsible of changing our lives. Even though we think that we canâ€™t change anything, we can. And we can do it just by changing our mindsets.
That being said, it is important that we understand that we are able to live the life we want. We just need to learn to focus our minds and transform our thoughts. Studies have shown that we donâ€™t use our brains to our full extent. However, you can increase the capacity of your brain just by learning the proper techniques and methods to do it. This means that, if you practice some easy exercises, you can change and improve any area of your life. Whatever you want, you can achieve it just by thinking well.

Just by learning how to meditate properly you will not have to do it for so much time. There are modern techniques designed for you to program your mind and increase your brain capacity. So, if you follow the right program, you will be able to rewire your brain and, therefore, achieve every goal you set in life. Why? simple.

These people know and truly believe they are capable of everything, thus, they fulfill every goal they set for themselves.
I know that you are skeptical at this moment. I was too. When I found this information I was kind of lost in life. I used to think i was useless since everything around me was falling apart and, no matter how hard I tried, nothing seemed to go my way. I was desperate. A friend of mine kept talking about a wonderful and amazing program that helped you change the way you think and, therefore, improve your life. I thought this was scam and that it was impossible to change your life just by meditating. However, I was so hopeless that I decided to make this step. And, even though at first I didnâ€™t really believe in it, I benefited almost immediately from just performing some simple mind techniques. I started feeling more positive and, therefore, good things started to happen. Thatâ€™s what kept me going through the whole program. And Iâ€™m really glad I did. Today I am a confident person who can achieve every goal out there. Iâ€™m not going bore you with details about my life but I will sum it up: Iâ€™m now married, I have started my own business (which is doing amazing) and I have a beautiful house.

Thatâ€™s what makes it so difficult for us to master our brain. It is so powerful that it is very difficult to train it. If you buy HeadLeap, you will learn how to make your brain work the way it should work for you to attract those things you want out of life.
This program works by rewiring the way you think. Experts know that the activity of our brainwaves can improve the way we live. Thatâ€™s why scientists have classified these waves into different states of mind and awareness. For example, when your brain is working somewhere in between fifteen and thirty hertz, you are totally awake and using your brain to an extent that is connected with anxiety. However, when you are at four to eight hertz, you are creative, motivated and focus. There is also another brainwave which is relaxed meditation. So, by learning how to control this waves by yourself, you will be able to rewire your mindset within just a few weeks of following and performing some simple exercises that last about twenty minutes per day. Believe me, just a short meditation a day is equal to two hours of sleep which will not only help you change the way you think but it will also relax your brain and boost your energy levels right away.

Verizon workers struck for two energetic weeks last summer in response to billions’ worth of concessions demands from the profitable telecommunications company. Now, after 12 more months of fruitless negotiations, 45,000 Communications Workers and Electrical Workers (IBEW) across the Northeast may be putting down their tools and walking out again.
In addition to attacks on health care and pensions, Verizon wants to obliterate restrictions on contracting out, a measure that could eventually threaten the union’s existence. Verizon already contracts out thousands of jobs, including installation, sales, and service, to non-union shops.
Never miss the news and analysis you care about.
If Verizon tries to impose its final offer, a walkout could take place as soon as August 10.
At the same time, Verizon is also engaged in a tricky negotiation with federal regulators, as it tries to ink an agreement with four cable companies who would all sell each other’s products.
Union members have been calling the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice, urging them to reject the deal, which they say would create a near-monopoly, cost thousands of jobs, and drive up prices for consumers.
The union suggested mediation two weeks ago and results are expected August 3. Under the back-to-work agreement signed last August, union and company each have to give seven days’ notice to end the contract.
“The mediator has a plan to bang heads together, but that doesn’t mean the company will relent,” said Bob Master, political director of CWA District 1.
Staffers and members speculated that Verizon execs agreed to mediation only because they would look even worse if they refused and simply imposed their last offer. But negotiators said they fully expect the company to reject the mediator’s efforts and do just that.
The company would also take away some sick days, cut disability benefits in half, and even eliminate a death benefit.
“We’re ready to go out and fight if we have to,” said Al Russo, vice president of CWA Local 1101 in New York. He said that in order to outsource more jobs, Verizon wants to implement “call sharing,” meaning that the company could direct incoming sales and service calls anywhere, including contractors. “We couldn’t even find out where the work is,” said Russo.
Workers find the proposal even more enraging in light of Verizon’s vast profits and lush raises for upper management. In the last five years, profits were $20.5 billion and the top five executives were paid $258 million. Observers see the fight as another watershed for labor, as an immensely profitable company attempts to force concessions.
In a meeting with other unions and community allies in New York on Friday, CWA leaders hit hard at Verizon’s proposed “marketing agreement” with four cable companies—Comcast, Time-Warner, Cox, and Bright House Networks. They urged community leaders to unite against the proposal.
If approved, the companies would cooperatively market bundles of phone, internet, wireless, and cable TV to the public, splitting the profits and eliminating competition.
Verizon union members say the company’s FiOS build-out will completely stop if the deal goes through. FiOS (fiber optic service) is a high-speed, high-capacity alternative to cable.
Under the deal, instead of competing with cable, which would require up-to-date infrastructure, Verizon would be splitting revenue with the cable companies—and colluding with them to set prices. Layoffs of Verizon FiOS workers would follow.
Even now, Verizon has redlined many urban areas as it built FiOS networks in the affluent suburbs surrounding Boston, Baltimore, Albany, and Buffalo but left the urban cores to the mercy of cable companies.
In response, mayors of nine upstate New York cities, including Albany, Buffalo, and Syracuse, signed a letter to the FCC and the Department of Justice decrying the redlining and charging that if the new deal is approved, Verizon will increase the “digital divide” between those who have affordable high-speed internet access and those who don’t—a fault line based on income and race. The mayors predicted higher prices, fewer services, and less economic development in their cities as a result.
Forty strikers were fired for picket line activity last August, and they still haven’t gotten their jobs back, said Rich Corrigan, a Verizon field technician and one of the 40. All have cases grinding through administrative courts after the National Labor Relations Board found merit to the strikers’ argument that they were unjustly fired.
New Jersey IBEW members are currently getting their day in court, with arguments expected to wrap up August 1. Twenty-three CWA members expect to go to court September 10. But even if they win this round, appeal after appeal by the company could leave the workers on the street for years, Corrigan said.
The union won’t sign an agreement unless the workers are back on the job, CWA President Larry Cohen told members on a conference call last week.
The fired workers have been the focus of demonstrations over the last few months, as Verizon workers have mobilized to keep heat on the company during negotiations.
Verizon workers have also rallied and leafleted in front of businesses who share board members with Verizon, like Darden restaurants and the bank Banco Popular. A rally is planned for Philadelphia on August 11.

Our lime tree produces fruit that is too sour. Is there a soil amendment to help make the fruit less tart?
Citrus fruits tend to develop their sweetness later and limes are suppose to be harvested unripe as it is. Harvesting a little later (but before they turn yellow) should help. Trees also produce sweeter fruit when they have ideal conditions. So make sure to provide it with adequate fertilizer and plenty of water. Growing lime trees in good, well-draining soil is also important, so adding some compost to the soil should help alleviate any current issues that may be present.

I love that the hangers are below and you won't have to take all of the front inventory off in order to get a size or color you need in the back of the arm.
This product is heavy and very nice. It holds up to 5 different products and it makes it look very professional.
Used for hanging scarves, purses, hangars with items. Very versatile. Nice, heavy duty.
Sturdy. Durable. Great size and length.
Used to hang my purses at the marketplace.. beautifully displayed.
I use these on a foldable rack I have for events. Instead of buying more racks I have expanded the space with these. They are really heavy duty. Can put heavy items on them.
This Waterfall Hook has made my new area to hang my purses look amazing! I purchased 10 of these to go with my wire grid wall panels. You should see how amazing this new display looks!!
Used to hold handbags and it work really well on the grid.

Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, the Osun Governor-elect has urged civil servants to work hard and improve the state’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).
Oyetola said that the monthly allocations from the federation account to states may cease sooner than expected.
Oyetola made the remarks during a special thanksgiving organised in his honour by civil servants on Thursday in Osogbo.
He said there was the need for civil servants, who are the engine room of government to drive the state to an economic sustainable status.
Oyetola, who expressed gratitude to the entire workforce in the state for voting for him massively during the governorship election, urged them to put more efforts in generating more IGR to make the state financially sufficient.
He said increase in IGR would enable the government to carry out its statutory function of payment of workers’ salaries and other emoluments.
The governor-elect commended civil servants in the state for their efficiency, sacrifices and support for the outing administration.
Oyetola maintained that his administration would redouble efforts at further smoothening relationships between the government and workers.
He however urged the civil servants to support his administration wholeheartedly, saying their services and support is too important to be ignored.
Earlier in his remarks, the state Head of Service, Dr Oyebade Olowogboyega, said the programme was organised to express workers’ solidarity and support for the incoming government.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Oyetola, an All Progressive Congress (APC) won the Sept. 22 governorship election in the state.
He scored 255,505 votes to defeat Sen. Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who polled 255,023 votes.
NAN reports that Gov. Rauf Aregbesola is expected to hand over to Adegboyega, on Nov. 26.

The borrowed white tablecloths and snowmen centerpieces gave the cultural hall a festive look as last-minute preparations were being made for our family Christmas party.
As we waited for our guests, my gaze drifted to a table where an empty jar—labeled “Sub for Santa”—sat. I prayed that by the end of the night, the jar would be full.
During our party preparations we had discovered that my cousin’s husband had been out of work for over a year and a half. Her family’s main source of income consisted of handling five paper routes, which required them to begin each day at 3:30 a.m. The majority of their income went to paying the mortgage and other necessities, leaving little for things they wanted, such as Christmas presents.
My cousin’s family was one of the first to arrive. I watched as they made their way toward the dining tables, past our Christmas jar. As they approached, my cousin’s husband stopped to read the sign on the jar. Without hesitating, he took out his worn wallet, pulled out a couple of dollars, and tossed them in the container, oblivious to who the family “in need” was.
Emotion welled up in my throat, and I instantly recalled the New Testament story of the widow and her two mites. Wealthy men were flaunting their large donations to the treasury when “there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites” (see Mark 12:41–42).
“For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living” (Mark 12:43−44).
Jesus Christ said she gave in “her want” and cast in “even all her living.” She could have given only one mite. That probably would have satisfied what was required, but her faithful heart and willingness to sacrifice all caught the attention of the Son of God.
No one would have blamed my cousin’s husband for walking past the jar thinking, “If I had I would give” (Mosiah 4:24). His great example of charity and love for his fellowmen touched not only me but also other members of my family who were watching him. I knew his family would be fine because “charity is the pure love of Christ, … and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him” (Moroni 7:47).
We had hoped to give his family something that night, which we did later on, but by giving in the midst of his own time of need, he showed us that when it came to what mattered most, he was already a rich man.

Freshman pitcher Aaron Eden delivers a pitch against San Diego on Feb. 26 at Tony Gwynn Stadium.
San Diego State baseball has had a recurring problem on the mound with its starting pitchers.
The Aztecs’ (14-10, 4-3 MW) starting pitching staff isn’t going deep enough into games.
The lack of deep starts and a number of injuries to the starting pitching have forced position players to make their debuts on the mound.
By definition, a starting pitcher needs to last at least six innings and prevent less than three runs from scoring for the outing to qualify as a quality start.
SDSU has only had four quality starts from its pitchers so far this season.
Freshman Aaron Eden (2), senior Justin Goossen-Brown (1) and freshman Michael Paredes (1) are the only three pitchers to give the Aztecs a quality start this season.
Head coach Mike Martinez said the pitching staff could use deeper outings from its starters.
“This time of year if you can get at least a five-inning start out of your starters, I think you can hand it off to your bullpen then that’s pretty good. If we can get those types of starts every night, we can have a chance to win,” Martinez said.
Paredes, the starter against Cal Baptist on March 26, was the latest to join Eden and Goossen-Brown as the only Aztecs to provide quality starts.
The San Diego native hurled six innings and allowed three runs, while notching seven strikeouts.
Paredes said quality starts from the starting pitching can benefit the bullpen.
“We’re coming out and trying to do our best to start the game off rolling and pound the zone to get our bullpen guys there and only (have) them come in when we really need someone,” Paredes said.
Sophomore Logan Boyer and seniors Harrison Pyatt and Brad Wegman were the three Aztec starting pitchers from the team’s season-opening series against San Francisco, but the trio has been sidelined with injuries.
Boyer’s last outing lasted only two-thirds of an inning against CS Northridge on March 12.
Martinez said the timetable for the two to return is still up in the air.
“We don’t know yet. Logan Boyer is a little further away than Harrison Pyatt, and we’ll kind of see how that shakes out in the next two weeks,” Martinez said.
Due to the lack of depth in the pitching staff, the Aztecs turned to junior center fielder Julian Escobedo and freshman first baseman Brian Leonhardt to fill the holes.
Martinez said he intended to use more position players on the mound following the team’s win against Seattle University on March 17, as the team prepares to play nine games in two weeks.
The Aztecs utilized sophomore Casey Schmitt as the team’s third baseman and closer in 2018, and it was a success as he sported a 0.28 ERA in 32 innings pitched.
However, Escobedo and Leonhadt haven’t had the same success.
Escobedo’s lone shot on the mound was a blown save against then No. 11/14 Texas Tech on March 6 and Leonhardt has only been able to throw 6.1 innings in four outings, which includes a 3.1-inning start against Arizona on March 26.

Worley was great. I lost my luggage and was delayed getting out of Baggage claim. She waited and then when I did get out she was right there. I was sure my ride was going to be long gone. On the ride to the Hotel she had a map ready with spots if I wanted to do some sight seeing. Her english was great and I felt like I was getting a mini tour with my airport transport. Great customer service and a friendly smile. I highly recommend this service and I would request her by name if possible. Don't miss the Pandas while you are in Chengdu.
Transfer was easy and the staff were very nice and accommodating particularly with our late arrival and getting us into our apartment, as the owner stuffed up! calling it Sun Gold Apartments, but was actually the Excellency . Would recommend and use again.
Our guide was waited for us on arrival and we has a pleasant journey to our hotel. He pointed out places and recommended places to visit during our stay.
Our "meet and greet" was excellent with lovely guide providing overview information on the 25 minute drive to our Hotel. Chengdu was thoroughly enjoyable - parks with diverse activities, wide streets, river, temples, old alleyways, street art, tea houses, amazing history and culture, the extra-ordinary Changing Mask Sichuan Opera, amazing street food, incredible choice of restaurants and bars......Can Do Chengdu is their slogan and I suggest everyone does just that!
Very professional service, meet me at the gate with my name on a sign and escorted me all the way to reception desk at the hotel. Fantastic service thank you.
Our driver was flexible to our needs to get to the airport early. No concerns getting to the airport and that helped as we had a long day of travel ahead. Well Done.
Excellent service, clean car, friendly driver!

Field sites | Tokyo Measuring Instruments Laboratory Co., Ltd.
Here we present case studies where measurement systems have been deployed in different types of construction projects.
Steel beam bridge measurement is divided into four categories: static loading measurement, dynamic loading measurement, frequency measurement and vibration measurement. In the static loading measurement, the status of the generation of static stress using a test car is seized, and in the dynamic loading measurement, that of dynamic stress during a test car or ordinary car passing is observed.
In constructing a caisson, settling of the entire caisson must be measured while at the same time monitoring the incline of the entire caisson, the balance of reaction force at the cutting shoe, water level, air pressure within the caisson, stress in all areas of the framework, etc. to manage construction.
Conditions to be monitored when constructing retaining walls include subsidence, movement and displacement of ground, groundwater conditions, lateral pressure on earth retaining walls, deformation and pressure conditions of earth retaining structures, and so forth. The collapse of retaining walls, effects of collapse on surrounding ground, heaving, boiling, and other dangerous phenomena must be detected and necessary actions must be taken as quickly as possible. Therefore, an online measurement system using computers and data loggers is used.
During pavement construction, driving tests, loading tests, and long-period deterioration tests are conducted using various types of sensors to check the degree of fatigue in relation to the load bearing capacity.
TML small FWD system "FWD-Light®"is a testing device applicable for management and rigidity evaluation of soil structures such as a fill, cut, subbase course and subgrade. As it is easy-to-handle and portable and can measure subgrade reaction coefficient "K"and subgrade elastic modulus "E"in a short period of time, real time feedback to construction site is possible.
Important items in construction management of embankment construction on soft soil include construction control and phase management by way of measurement control, degree of safety of an embankment, limit load and limit deflection, settlement and uplift. It is necessary to grasp changes in settling/horizontal displacement of the ground accompanying embankment loading, as well as in soil pressure and pore pressure within the ground so as to enable action quickly, and online measurement is carried out using a computer and data loggers.
The load from the many different types of stage equipment and lighting (hanging fixtures) suspended from the overhead of an event hall is measured and monitored so that it is located within a predetermined load position (pattern). If a suspended load exceeds this range, it is relayed to the operator by an alert displayed on the computer and output at the connection (alert lamp, buzzer, etc.), to support facilities maintenance and management during an event.
The displacement of surrounding ground and tunnel support structures along with stress conditions are measured during tunnel excavation to ensure work safety and economic efficiency.
As the cross section of an underground opening becomes large, ground stability decreases and a large-scale support structure is required. The stability of an opening depends on surrounding ground. Since it is very difficult to clarify the level of ground stability by conducting surveys, data on the behavior of ground gathered during construction is analyzed and analysis results are reflected to design and construction. This is an observational construction control system that our company proposes to customers.
During construction of an earth dam, pore water pressure in the dam body and its foundation ground is measured and data obtained is used to control earth (concrete) filling speeds. Deformation of the dam body and its foundation and the earth pressure on them are also measured during construction. After completion of a dam, the amount of infiltrating water in the dam body and foundation ground and the deformation of the dam body are measured to ensure safe dam operations. In addition, pore water pressure, osmotic pressure on foundation ground, the level of groundwater and so on are measured in order to grasp the state of water infiltration in both the dam body and its foundation ground.
With the spread of an excellent self-filling and high fluid concrete, a method of concrete being placed in the form directly has been frequently used. When concrete is filled in a narrow space or complicated shaped form, it is very difficult to visually observe the filling status of concrete. Here, we suggest a concrete filling management system for observing the condition of concrete placement.
In making a landslide measurement plan, it is necessary to have a thorough knowledge of the three-dimensional profile and the ground-movement direction of landslide area. A measurement system that TML recommends is a centralized, automated measurement control system in which measuring instruments, data loggers, computers, and so on are connected in an online network. The addition of a communication function would turn this system into a wireless communications measurement system.
●Static measurement: Stress and strain on a pier under no-load conditions are measured.
●Dynamic measurement: Stress and strain on a pier are measured by running a vehicle, such as a forklift loaded with maximum weight assumed to be applied.
At wind power generation facilities, especial those which are situated on the water and are unlike land-based facilities, static and dynamic load that occurs as a result of rocking and vibration of the facility due to the effects of tidal currents are grasped, so that the structural integrity of supporting structures (placed/floating) and towers can be verified and fatigue changes can be grasped.
The structural integrity test (SIT) of a reactor containment vessel is carried out using various sensors.
During construction of a dome and gymnasium, data on load and stress is collected using various sensors to verify the load bearing capacity (jacking-up and -down capacity).
A quake-damping structure uses various types of damping materials. For example, laminated rubber having low horizontal rigidity, slide bearings and so on are designed as part of the quake-damping structure in order to damp seismic force. A quake-absorbing structure uses a powerful shock-absorbing device to absorb seismic energy. Static and dynamic conditions of a structure are measured to check its quake-damping and quake-absorbing performance.

BBC News Correspondent Jonathan Beale featured my exhibition Soldiery British Army Portraits. Its wonderful to see Soldiery British Army Portraits receiving the recognition it deserves.
Choosing the right equipment for your photoshoots can make your life much easier. Welcome to Rory Recommends a Bi-Weekly Blog Post in which I’ll share my equipment recommendations for Portrait Photography.
Lets start with backdrops. Lastolite supply a wonderful selection of Collapsable/Reversible Backdrops. For the portrait photographer on the move they are an ideal solution, folding down to a manageable size. On a recent series of political and celebrity portrait photoshoots with Sir John Major and Breaking Bad/Scarface Actor Mark Margolis I utilised Lastolite’s new Background Smoke/Concrete and the old faithful Grey/White.
The Smoke/Concrete backdrop has two different sides providing an artistic and vivid industrial effect. Since using it on portrait sittings it has made a real difference in sales. Don’t forget to pickup the Magnetic Backdrop Stand!
Utilising a medium format camera has its advantages, but it is rather heavy. Traveling between London & Los Angeles, I wanted to find a light weight tripod. Carbon Fibre seemed to be the best option. However, you find these types of tripods can be quite expensive. Doing my research I found the Manfrotto 190 Go. A very reasonable £299.00 it became the answer to my problems. This lightweight solution delivers on durability and precision with its tilt motion assistance, it weighs a light 1kg!
Transporting my lighting equipment has always presented me with a problem. I have never been happy with bags for my lighting stands and heads, and have often resorted to using a standard suitcase to transport my gear. The Manfrotto MB PL-LW-88W Rolling Organizer has become my bag of choice. This medium-sized water-repellent Pro-Light Rolling Lighting Gear Organizer from Manfrotto holds six Mini Compact Stands, two flash heads and two reflectors between padded, touch-fastened dividers inside the zippered main compartment, which is 33.1″ long. For accessories, there is a front exterior zip pocket, and two interior zippered lid pockets. You can carry the bag using the side grip handle or the two rear transport wheels and the top grip handle. Its sleek and easy to transport on the London Tube!
Lets start with backdrops. Lastolite supply a wonderful selection of Collapsable/Reversible Backdrops. For the portrait photographer on the move they are an ideal solution, folding down to a manageable size. On a recent photoshoot with The Paratroopers, I utilised Lastolite’s, Virginia/Kentucky Dyed Collapsible Background. The backdrop has two different sides providing an artistic and vivid burn orange effect. Don’t forget to pickup the Magnetic Backdrop Stand!

Next a few handy accessories; firstly my preferred Camera Case. Often during photography workshops delegates always ask what bags do you use? My answer the Peli 1510, make sure you pick up the dividers, the to replace the internal foam supplied. I find the internal foam always falls to bits from regular use. You can also pickup a handy laptop pouch kit for your iPad and Wires. I’ve been using this for more that a year now. The 1510 is one strong case, truly water proof, robust and rigid. The wheels are of very good quality, I’ve dragged this case all over the world across pavements, and fields.
Lately I have been wanting to capture behind the scenes footage of my photoshoots, especially photographing Tanks and visiting interesting locations. Mostly I use my trusted iPhone 7. However, I needed something to mount it to a tripod. I found a very handy little tool for mounting the iPhone to my Manfrotto Tripod. The Mudder Universal Smartphone Adaptor, fits any smart phone to your tripod with a generic screw fit.
Another handy tripod adaptor, is the Manfrotto Universal Tripod Mount with Adapter for the GoPro Hero. I recently invested in a Go Pro Hero 5 Session, again to capture behind the scenes footage. This handy tool attaches the go pro to any Tripod or Monopod.

How to choose the right Ductless Air And Heat Units, will 4MXS32-GVJU CTXS09-HVJU work for me?
Depending on the issue you are having with 4MXS32-GVJU CTXS09-HVJU (whether its low on refrigerant or if the compressor quit working for example), it can range from $50 service call to $500 on repair cost.
Typically maintenance cost on 4MXS32-GVJU CTXS09-HVJU is minimal, it may only need cleaning on monthly basis. Unless you need air filters that can range from $10-$100 in some cases depending upon brand and availibility.
We added on to our laundry room and needed heat and cooling. Upon receiving the unit a couple of us had the unit installed and ready for a AC man The people that take care of all our systems came over, checked for leaks and in a few more minutes up and running. Very impressed with the unit so far. We decided to go with Gree since we had 10 units come in on cabins we installed this spring.
I purchased the QuietCool 4,427 CFM - Energy Saver Advanced Whole House Fan and live in Oceanside, Ca and all I can say is I love it. I can cool the house down normally 10 degrees quickly.

2013 is definitely all about smartwatches and fitness trackers. This time we have an Adidas Smart Watch, the miCoach SMART RUN which should be available in the states from the 1st of November.
The smartwatch can figure out your heart rate from the pulse in your wrist, and then factor that in with various onboard movement sensors as well as route tracking. The watch will cook up a custom exercise program with personalized training suggestions, and give prompts for that routine on the colour display.
In order to free you up from your phone, Addidas have integrated other features into the watch too, including an onboard media player can push audio via Bluetooth to your wireless headphones, as well as training suggestions. Storage is limited to 3GB of music (4GB total storage) so you wont be getting too much music on there.
There is also wifi and an accelerometer built it, and the device can sync to Adidas’ miCoach fitness cloud. Altogether the watch monitors steps, heart rate, speed, and distance, with the miCoach SMART RUN giving suggestions on whether the wearer should speed up, slow down, or change your routine.
Battery life is varies greatly depending on use, . Turn GPS on, and stream music and fitness prompts to your headphones, and you’ll get about eight hours out of the smartwatch; just use it in the more basic watch mode, and it’ll run for about a week on a single charge.
Unfortunately all this tech packed into a rather niche fitness accessory means the price is $399.
It will be interesting to see how accurate the HRM is using the wrist compared to old fashioned chest straps, as this will no doubt play an important role in any serious athletes decision to buy one.

Carpeting is a wonderful flooring material because it improves the look of your home, is soft and comfortable under your feet and helps control the noise level in your home. Unfortunately, it is also a large filter that collects massive amounts of bacteria, dirt, dust and debris. Carpet also is susceptible to stains if spills aren’t immediately cleaned up.
Summer is almost here, which means more dirt from foot traffic of children running in and out. The good news is, the following tips will help your carpets cleaner this summer.
The easiest way to prevent a buildup of dirt and dust is to regularly vacuum your carpeting. It is best to vacuum at least once per week to remove dust and keep the carpet looking attractive.
If you have pets, the summer time is typically the time when shedding worsens, which means more hair and dander living in the carpet. Try to use a deodorizer designed for pet odors and vacuum at least twice per week to prevent a buildup of pet hair.
Food spills can become a serious problem when they aren’t cleaned up right away. When possible, clean the spill up as soon as it happens to prevent staining. Spills that are not cleaned up right away can also cause matting of the carpet fibers, which makes the area more susceptible to collecting dust and dirt.
When cleaning up spills, never rub the area. Instead, gently blot the spill with a towel. Using a solution of equal parts of vinegar and water lightly sprayed on the stain and blotted dry will help prevent wine or other dark-colored foods and beverages from staining. Avoid over wetting carpeting, though. If you fail to remove all of the water, it can soak into the padding and the under flooring, which may lead to mold and mildew.
Foot traffic can really wreak havoc on your carpeting. Continuous walking on the carpeting can crush the fibers, making it easier for the dirt and dust to soak deep into the fibers, the padding and under the carpet. If at all possible, ask family and visitors to remove their shoes before walking on the carpet. This will reduce the amount of dirt being brought in as well as increase the lifespan of the carpet. If you don’t want to ask people to remove their shoes, make sure to place a mat outside of entry doors so shoes can be wiped off before entering.
The best way to keep carpets clean, not only during the summer but all year round, is to have a professional carpet cleaning company regularly clean the carpeting. For best results, schedule a professional cleaning at the beginning of summer and again at the beginning of winter. This will help prevent dirt from accumulating, prevent a buildup of harmful bacteria, and make it much easier to maintain the carpeting with regular household tasks, such as vacuuming.
Are you ready for cleaner, fresher carpeting in your home? Contact Chet’s Cleaning Inc. to schedule an appointment today to ensure your carpeting in clean and fresh before the start of the summer season.

Do you have problems with solar panels ?, with troubleshooting, anything is possible. Although these procedures are a good place to start, don’t limit yourself to them. Common sense, experience, and keen observation can help find solutions.
Error codes on your inverter or remote monitor.
This could be an LED light, a specific code flashing on the display, or a ground fault indicator. Consult your installer or the inverter’s manual, or call technical support to determine what the code means. If there is indication of a ground fault, immediately contact your PV installer or other qualified person, as there could be danger of electric shock on parts that are not normally energized (such as metal conduit, module frames, ground wires, metal enclosures, etc.). Do not continue investigating the system by yourself if there is a ground fault!
Is any of the glass cracked? Do you notice any missing parts? Make sure the modules are aligned and no corners are sticking up or down heating and cooling cause expansion and contraction, which can lead to mechanical failure within the rack and modules. Look for loose bolts, bent frames, and cracked glass. Snow load can also damage an array.
Look for yellow or brown burn marks on both the frontand the back of the modules. If you can’t easily access the array, you can do this inspection from the ground with binoculars. Diodes and solder connections within the module and its junction box can fail, causing areas to heat up and burn or melt.
Warped, misshapen boxes or insulation (left) or burn marks (right) indicate electromechanical problems with one or more PV modules.
Are there any loose, dangling wires? Expansion and contraction can also cause taut wires to pull loose from their connectors, or cause the connectors to partially open. Poor connections will create heat from increased resistance and can melt the connectors, junction boxes, or leave burn marks on the white back sheet.
Is any of the wire insulation missing or damaged? Small animals will often build nests underneath arrays and seem to have an appetite for wire insulation. Has debris accumulated? Leaf litter buildup can create a place for moisture to collect, and loose connections contacting moisture can then cause intermittent faults (especially when the insulation is missing) and, eventually, corrosion.
If you have module level monitoring, such as with microinverters or DC optimizers, it should be easy to see if one or more modules are underperforming. If your PV system doesn’t use this technology, each series string’s open circuit voltage and operating voltage should be tested and recorded, as well as its operating current (using a clamp on meter). You can then compare string or module measurements with each other or against calculated expectations to find any poor performers.
Note that any work or measurements on exposed energized parts should be done only by trained individuals. These are often high voltage systems, which can kill or injure.
Using an infrared camera can also help spot problems within modules, but only if you can get your hands on one and know how to use it!.
tracking technologies, such as microinverters or DC optimizers.
Avoiding problems with solar panels examining past electric bills, and inverter and system monitoring data can help you pin down when the array started underperforming. Is the problem intermittent? This might be due to loose connections or wet debris facilitating a short. Was there a sudden drop in production, or did it seem to happen gradually? Has italways been this way? Perhaps a wire was pinched during the installation and the array has never been producing full power. Finding out the time of year or coordinating the loss of production with other events (storms, grid outages, roof repairs, etc.) can also provide clues about the underlying issue.
negative terminals, with the array connected to the inverter.
If the array’s voltage and current meet specifications at the array output, but not at the inverter input, then the problem lies between these points. Check junction and combiner boxes for loose connections, compromised wiring, or blown fuses. Thermal cycling can cause wire connections to loosen; even properly installed wires can come loose over time. Check the inverter and disconnects for the same. If the inverter input meets specs, but its output does not, then it’s likely there is an issue within the inverter itself, and the manufacturer will need to be consulted.
If you’ve narrowed down the problem to the array, sometimes it’s necessary to inspect the array wiring and rack up close, as well as isolate and test modules. Check all of the module frames, junction boxes, connectors, glass, and backsheets. An IV curve tracer can be helpful in finding underperforming series strings so the entire array does not need to be disassembled.
Note: For avoiding problems with solar panels, only qualified individuals should work on the array, move modules, or expose or take apart any of the wiring.


text: © 2018 by the authors. Lake ice phenology (timing of ice breakup and freeze up) is a sensitive indicator of climate. We acquired time series of lake ice breakup and freeze up, local weather conditions, and large-scale climate oscillations from 1981-2015 for seven lakes in northern Wisconsin, USA, and two lakes in Ontario, Canada. Multiple linear regression models were developed to understand the drivers of lake ice phenology. We used projected air temperature and precipitation from 126 climate change scenarios to forecast the day of year of ice breakup and freeze up in 2050 and 2070. Lake ice melted 5 days earlier and froze 8 days later over the past 35 years. Warmer spring and winter air temperatures contributed to earlier ice breakup; whereas warmer November temperatures delayed lake freeze. Lake ice breakup is projected to be 13 days earlier on average by 2070, but could vary by 3 days later to 43 days earlier depending upon the degree of climatic warming by late century. Similarly, the timing of lake freeze up is projected to be delayed by 11 days on average by 2070, but could be 1 to 28 days later. Shortened seasonality of ice cover by 24 days could increase risk of algal blooms, reduce habitat for coldwater fisheries, and jeopardize survival of northern communities reliant on ice roads.

I've had this dress for longer than I can recall, and love to dig it out from time to time. I don't think I've purchased anything in Next before or since, but I seem to remember having some vouchers to spend, so this was my garment of choice! I find skater style dresses really flattering on all body shapes, and I'm chuffed that they're starting to make a comeback - in my opinion Missguided and Boohoo have the best variety. Teamed it with my trusty Docs and a denim jacket - two wardrobe staples I just couldn't live without!
In other news, I'm planning on buying a vintage denim jacket to stud - would any of you be interested in seeing a DIY?
I love this dress so much and those Doc Martins Rule!!!
Supercute dress, I love it! And your shoes are fabulous!

Falun Gong practitioners from all over Europe held a series of events in downtown Madrid to raise awareness of the suppression of Falun Gong in China. The events included a rally in the afternoon on October 3 and a march, rally and candlelight vigil on October 4.
These events were followed by a conference, the 2014 European Falun Dafa Cultivation Experience Sharing Conference, on October 5. Practitioners from 35 countries attended this annual event.
Practitioners gathered at the Puerta del Sol, ("Gate of the Sun"), Madrid's most famous and most central square in the afternoon on October 3. Seeing the peaceful exercises and posters the described the brutal persecution, many people stopped to sign the petition.
Among them was George Neumann, an organ transplantation surgeon from Brazil, and his wife. Neumann said he had heard about organ harvest as early as 10 years before. He often went to international conferences on organ transplantation and the organ harvest in China was a topic often brought up.
“I know this is real and international society has been trying to stop it. We [physicians] have also made such requests to the Chinese government.” He said that a large number of organ harvest cases had occurred. And they were from people who were imprisoned, not volunteer donors.
About 1000 practitioners participated in the parade and march on the morning of October 4, 2014, from the Plaza de la Independencia (Independent Square) to the Puerta del Sol. Many were surprised to hear about what happened in China and said they supported practitioners for their efforts.
Joanna Fons and Gaterin, two college students majoring in naturopathy and journalism, respectively, accepted the pamphlet given by a practitioner and read it. They said persecution such as organ harvesting is horrible and disturbing. Fons said, “The march you put on today looks great, especially the theme of peaceful resistance. It is something very meaningful.” Gaterin agreed with her, “Marches like this are a very good way to expose these atrocities so that more people learn about them.” They both asked what they could do to help.
A rally was held at the Puerta del Sol following the march. Several guests gave speeches.
Harold King, European spokesperson for Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting (DAFOH), is a dentist from France. He started to notice the organ harvest issue when he was treating some of his patients who had received organ transplantation earlier. He was pleased that Spain was the first nation that passed a law to prevent its citizens from going overseas for organ transplantation.
“Recently we have talked about terrorism, but the CCP has been killing innocent Falun Gong practitioners and selling their organs for profit. Even at the rate of 10,000 per year, this atrocity is very severe and we have to stop it.” He said the CCP had a comprehensive organ supply system that connected patients to hospitals and military. “When this was exposed in 2006, the CCP promised it would change. But nothing has changed so far.” He called on everyday to sign the petition to condemn the atrocity.
A candlelight vigil was held in the evening on October 4 at the Plaza de Callao, mourning 3,795 practitioners who had died as a result of the severe persecution.
