So what's going on? It is pretty sad that I have blogger blockafter only 1 day but then I was inspired after crushing some whiteheads in the bathroom. And unfortunately that is not a really bad euphemism for masturbation. I honestly thought by the time I turned 40 that I would no longer have to worry about popping blackheads and zits. Seriously after 25 plus years of getting overnight visits from the acne wizard you would think that you would have paid your dues, but guess again. They are still going to be there when the big 4-0 comes. But if that is my big beef about hitting 40 then I will take it. I just hope when I am 50 I don't have to worry about these penile warts anymore. Does anyone know when they go away?
You gotta use a belt sander to take those off. But don't worry, Chicks dig scars.
Oh boy. Thanks for sharing.
I hope your keeping those little road bumps to yourself and not sharing with the Mrs. That's grounds for a severe **Mad Libs Alert** ["colorful" adjective + verb that ends in ing].

The fire ant is a wingless associate of the order Hymenoptera. The structure of Fire ants is distinct and you can easily identify them once you are well familiar with the morphology of fire ants. Like other insects, the red ants have an exoskeleton, which is an external protective covering around the body.
The body of fire ants is divided into three sections: the head, the thorax, and the abdomen. They have three pairs of legs and a pair of antennae. They have two bulges between the thorax and abdomen - pedicel and postpediole. The fire ants structure can be distinguished from other ants because of their copper brown head and body, with a darker abdomen.
While studying the anatomy of fire ants, let us take a look at the worker. The worker ants are blackish to reddish in color. Their size can vary from 2mm to 6 mm. All these different sizes of the worker red ants live in the same nest. They have ten antennal segments which terminate in a two-segmented club.
Quite often, it becomes a little difficult to distinguish between the structure of Fire ants of different species, for example, Solenopsis invicta and some other species in the genus. Solenopsis sp. ants can be recognized with three body features - a pedicel with two nodes, an unarmed propodium, and antennae with 10 segments and a two segmented club. The morphology of black imported fire ant is not consistent with the number of characters used to study the morphology of fire ants. Hybrids between the two species even make the things more complex.
It is only by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) that positive identifications of the red ants can be made and to mark the differences in the cuticular hydrocarbons.
We hope you found the above article on the structure of Fire ants informative.

Smart materials are the matter of the future – a review published yesterday in the journal Science says. Engineered artificial materials which can sense, compute and actuate are getting more and more common and we are just barely scratching the surface of the things one day they could do.
(Top) Biological systems that tightly integrate sensing, actuation, computation, and communication and (bottom) the engineering applications that could be enabled by materials that take advantage of such principles (credit: M. A. McEvoy and N. Correll Science).
Nature is full of complex biological systems which tightly integrate sensing, actuation and computation capabilities. Examples include extraordinary changes in shape and appearance, adaptive load support and high-dynamic-range tactile sensing – just to mention a few. “We looked at organisms like the cuttlefish, which change their appearance depending on their environment, and the banyan tree, which grows above-ground roots to support the increasing weight of the trunk and we asked what it would take to engineer such systems” – said Nikolaus Correll, assistant professor of computer science at the University of Colorado Boulder. Inspired by these remarkable systems, we have often envisioned the day when artificial materials will become what has always just been ‘the stuff of science fiction’. Airplane wings and vehicles capable of adapting their aerodynamic profile to the environment, clothes with adaptive camouflage capabilities, bridges and civil structures which could repair themselves or robotic skin and prosthetics with hyper-sensitivity.
Already twice, first with the advent of fast digital electronics in the 1970s, and then with the development of microelectromechanical systems in the 1990s, the dream of realizing this “programmable matter” seemed at arm’s reach. It is however only now that this dream is starting to become reality. Advances in manufacturing, combined with the miniaturization of electronics that has brought us to carry, in a pocket, smartphones with the power of a desktop computer, is enabling a new class of so-called “robotic” materials. They transcend classical matter by integrating sensors, actuators and even microprocessors which allow them to function autonomously and could be programmed to change dynamically certain properties in response to specific stimuli. For instance, “the human sensory system automatically filters out things like the feeling of clothing rubbing on the skin” – Correll says. “An artificial skin with possibly thousands of sensors could do the same thing and only report to a central ‘brain’ if it touches something new”.
While we are getting ‘closer’ to widely-available “robotic” materials we are not there yet. Manufacturing techniques for these materials of the future remains a challenge. “Right now, we’re able to make these things in the lab on a much larger scale, but we can’t scale them down” – Correll comments. “The same is true for nano- and micro-scale manufacturing, which can’t be scaled up to things like a building façade”. Interestingly, the challenge also involves our educational system, as fundamental advances in the field can only come from the tight integration of several disciplines such as both material and computer sciences. “We expose engineering students to both materials and computing, no matter what their background is” – Correl says.
Regarding this crucial aspect we are still quite far behind. Advances are currently being made mainly in individual disciplines. For instance, progress has been made in composite materials that integrate sensing and actuation (e.g. shape-changing airfoils), as well as in their manufacturing. In parallel, computer science has developed distributed algorithms to collect, process and act upon huge volumes of data. In recent years, manufacturing has been revolutionized by three-dimensional (3D) printing as well as by creating complex structures from unfolding or stretching patterned 2D composites. Finally, robotics and controls have made advances in controlling robots with multiple actuators, continuum dynamics and large numbers of distributed sensors. Unfortunately, only a limited number of systems have taken full advantage from these advances to create materials that tightly integrate sensing, computation, actuation and communication in a way that allows them to be mass-produced cheaply and readily.

LOS ANGELES - Closers. Openers. Setup men. Left-handed one-out guys. Relief pitching seems to have become as specialized as the positions in a presidential Cabinet.
But the Milwaukee Brewers built one of the major leagues' best bullpens by disregarding specific roles.
"The best way to describe our bullpen is to be ready each and every day, no matter what - no limits," said right-hander Jeremy Jeffress, an All-Star in his third stint with the Brewers. "We pitch anytime, anywhere, anybody. It doesn't matter whose name is being called. We're just willing to take the ball and get our job done."
Jeffress entered the postseason with an 8-1 record, 15 saves and a 1.29 ERA, yet he is just one point of a three-pronged spear that collectively pierced opponents' cumulative batting average to under .200.
Left-hander Josh Hader joined Jeffress on the National League's All-Star team this year before finishing with 12 saves, a 6-1 record and a 2.43 ERA. Right-hander Corey Knebel, an All-Star last year with 39 saves, led Milwaukee with 16 while going 4-3 with a 3.58 ERA.
"There's no set roles," Hader said. "All these guys don't care what inning it is. They don't care what the situation is. Their main goal is to get outs and compete. One of the things that's helped us is that there's no expectations that we put on ourselves. The only expectation is to compete, attack the zone and get outs."
That mandate devastated opponents. Hader amassed 143 strikeouts in 81 1/3 innings while forcing batters to hit just .132 against him. Opponents managed only a .182 average against Jeffress, who collected 89 strikeouts in 76 2/3 innings. Knebel contributed 88 strikeouts in 55 1/3 innings and held batters to a .194 average.
"Our bullpen has been huge," left-hander Wade Miley said. "They come in and they pretty much shut the game down. It reminds me of Atlanta a couple of years ago, with (Craig) Kimbrel and (Eric) O'Flaherty. When they had a lead in the sixth inning, the game was pretty much wiped out. I think about that all the time and our bullpen is on that level, if not better."
For the Brewers, shutting the game down ultimately means reducing the number of times the bat meets the ball - if not eliminating them altogether.
"In a broad scope, we want guys who can get outs," general manager David Stearns said. "That's the key. At the top level of it is, 'Who can get outs most efficiently?' As you break it down, it gets down to, 'How are they generating outs?' You can do that in a variety of different ways. You try to construct a bullpen with a variety of different approaches and different skill sets."
"At the back end of games with relievers, there is a little bit more of an emphasis on swing-and-miss. Getting guys who can generate some swing-and-miss allows them to get out of some sticker situations. We've been fortunate that we have multiple guys back there who generate a lot of swing and miss."
Manager Craig Counsell succinctly summarized that approach.
"Strikeouts are the easiest thing to point to," he said. "It takes the luck out of the game. It's hard to score when you strike out a lot."
Complementing the three main relievers are veteran Joakim Soria and rookie Corbin Burnes, both right-handers. Soria, 34, served as the closer for the White Sox and led that team with 16 saves before being traded July 26 to Milwaukee, where he now pitches mostly in middle relief. Burnes, another middle reliever, became the first Brewers pitcher to earn a save in his major-league debut since 1980 by pitching two perfect innings July 10 against the Miami Marlins. The 23-year-old Burnes won all seven of his decisions, compiled a 2.61 ERA and limited opponents to a .199 average.
"What impresses me about their bullpen is just the arm strength, the consistency, the way they attack hitters and how they're used," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "Craig does a really nice job of really matching their guys up."
Creating favorable matchups while maintaining fluidity means balancing each reliever's need for rest and recuperation.
"Our whole bullpen looks for ways to prepare and to make sure that we can bounce back each and every day, and be consistent in who we are," Jeffress said. "It goes deep into nutrition, to the way we work out, and just the recovery we have each and every day."
Counsell used Hader as an example of trying to maintain that equilibrium. In his 55 appearances, Hader pitched at least two innings 23 times, accounting for 48 1/3 innings.
"Early in the season, he was on a 100-inning pace and I don't think that was sustainable," Counsell said. "When you're pitching in multiple innings, the innings add up real fast. But you've got to keep it structured so that you have (relievers) for the long haul. Part of being effective is having rest. A day off does wonders for these bullpen guys. That's part of what creates their effectiveness."
Rest is so vital role for the Brewers' relievers that it supersedes the advanced statistical analysis becoming commonplace.
"Personally, I don't focus too much on that," Hader said about metrics. "Ultimately, I think that if I stick to my strengths and pitch the way I know how to pitch, then at the end of the day, it's going to be my benefit. Obviously, we have scouting reports on what guys are hot in what part of the zone and vice versa. But at the end of the day, my best pitch is going to help me more than trying to throw my third-best pitch at somebody who might not be able to hit that."
Hader and his fellow relievers achieved similar success despite different personalities.
"JJ makes sure that when he gets on the mound, he is 100 percent completely focused," Stearns said of Jeffress. "There's almost an anger to him on the mound that he's able to direct in a constructive manner as a pitcher. Josh is really just a very laid-back guy. When he gets on the mound, he's able to stay relaxed. He throws harder when he's relaxed. That's the way he manages the pressure of a game situation.
"Corey has really evolved as a late-game reliever. He's pitched in some enormously high-pressure games for us in the last couple of years. He understands how to slow his heart rate down, understands when he needs to walk around the mound, understands when he needs to take a deep breath. He just has so much confidence in his stuff, right now, that he has the belief that he's going to execute."
So what is the best strategy against such effective relievers?
"I think the easiest approach," the Dodgers' Chris Taylor said, "is just to try to keep it simple and not try to get big off of them - almost play pepper, try to put a ball in play, not try do too much with it."
Teammate Max Muncy believes increased familiarity brings expanded opportunity.
"Now that you're seeing them once, twice, three times, now - some of their guys we've seen four or five times, now - you know what their pitches are going to do," Muncy said. "You know how their fastball moves, how their slider moves, that kind of stuff. You feel more comfortable."
"That doesn't make it any easier, though. They're still elite guys who make really good pitches."

COMPARISON POST!! ELF luminance vs ELF gotta glow!!
I'm going to start a series of new posts where I compare products which you might think are dupes online, but they might have some differences.
in person they look quite different.
I would describe luminance as having a more powdery, much more blendable texture. Quite pigmented and whilst more natural looking, most flattering on my warm skintone.
Gotta glow has a more grittty texture.. a stronger golden shimmer and a less flattering highlight.
I dunno if I'm sold on Elf Blushes and Highlighters anymore, everything I've gotten has been a ton of glitter and no pigmentation to date. Do you mind if I add a link to your blog on mine as soon as it's up?
Ahhh, really!? I'm loving the Studio Complection brush, that is like my all time fave brush EVER! That and the Eyeshadow C brush.

In 1806, Frederic Tudor shipped natural ice from Boston Harbor, Massachusetts to the Caribbean Island of Martinique.
In 1816, Frederic Tudor had the first ice house in Havana, Cuba built. The ice house held over 150 tons of ice.
In 1840, the icebox was invented for use inside the home. Shortly after that, New York City saw the establishment of regular delivery routes for natural ice.
In the 1870’s the USA saw the first ice plants begin producing artificial ice.
It wasn’t until the early 1930s that the usefulness of the “electric ice box” was realized when newly discovered Freon introduced as the refrigerant. Previous to Freon, other gases were inconvenient to use and sometimes even deadly if inhaled.

Off topic I know, but there's not much news about It Bites on here these days!
Magenta are perhaps the best thing imho since IB!
Not the best video/audio quality but I was hooked immediately and bought everything they've ever done!
I'm going to check out Magenta Batchain. THis may or may not be of intereste to you but I saw Credo supporting Kino in Rotherham last year and was fairly impressed. Fantastic standard of musicianship - the guitarist and keyboard player were both excellent. One of the least cool looking bands I know (apart from my own probably!). Their songs were very prog, woith some good hooks, but overall they weren't in the same league as It Bites etc.
In answer to your question though, I won't be going to the gig in Wolverhampton.
Saw Marillion in Wolverhampton though, year ago when I was a student - they played Brave in it's entirety and it was absolutely brilliant.
Nice one Dave; I hope you enjoy Magenta. If it helps, I found their latest album, “Home/New York Suite” more difficult to get into, although got there eventually - strong (possibly too strong) Floyd influence. In contrast, the albums “Seven” and “Revolutions” are instant, if you know what I mean. Like It Bites, the studio albums by Magenta are unlike the live performances, which is why “The Gathering” DVD is probably the best place to start. Had no problems ordering from their website. Magenta are certainly in the same league as It Bites (and Marillion). Surely no one can argue with that. Thanks for the info on Credo. Can hardly wait for Sunday, and then there’s some other band fairly soon!
Magenta influences: Yes, Genesis, Marillion, Mike Oldfield, Renaissance, It Bites, Pink Floyd, Eurythmics.
Just a timely reminder that the wonderous MAGENTA are about.
Just checking out the tracks on the myspace site. Excellent stuff.
Good Dave; can you please remind me where I've heard something like the opening bars of "White Lies" before?
PS haven't forgot that beer.
I'll have another listen to White Lies. Definitely up for a beer at Jabez. Enjoy your prog fest tomorrow.
Dave, I have brought back a small gift for you!
Cheers batchain - look forward to meeting you at Jabez. Just having my first listen to V by Spocks Beard. Very impressed so far.
The best is saved for the last Dave, and as someone once wrote, "well it's definitely not nothing".
Batchain - you won't be seeing tha Magenta DVD again. Just watched the last two tracks you recommended to start with.
Just got back from Manchester and had a feeling you wouldn't be sending it back . Glad you like it. It was great to meet you and what a night!

At that time, the choice of the European Left Party (EL) to nominate Alexis Tsipras as candidate for the presidency of the European Commission had raised hopes that, in Italy too, a left political force could be reconstructed around the European Left. In other words, around an idea of radical opposition to the policies of austerity, as had already been the case in many countries, above all, in Mediterranean Europe, such as Greece and Spain. The launch of the “L’Altra Europa con Tsipras” (The Other Europe with Tsipras) list had coalesced the political forces of the left and, after a long absence, brought three deputies back to the European Parliament.
From that moment on, the unified path was a difficult and troubled one. Part of this coalition, Sinistra Ecologia e Libertà (SEL) and ex-Democratic Party (PD) members, the most well-known being Stefano Fassina, formerly responsible for the PD’s labour policies, chose to avoid a unified path, heading down the unilateral one instead to form a new party: Sinistra Italiana (SI).
The referendum incident regarding the modification of the constitution in December 2016, inspired by the then head of government and PD secretary, Renzi, made a re-emerging of unity in opposition to the plan possible, with the construction of committees for the defence of the constitution throughout the country.
The success of the “No” vote in the referendum led to Renzi’s resignation and the fall of the government he chaired, immediately replaced by a photocopy government to reconfirm the choices made in previous policies. Many expected an immediate return to the polls and therefore the need to follow up on the campaign against Renzi’s PD. At the time, Renzi had seen the defection of further elements of his party’s establishment, with former secretary Bersani, and founder and former president D'Alema, trying to give a political form to the many democrats and leftists who had constituted a fundamental resistance in the success of their campaign at the referendum.
This is why two prominent members of the “No” Committee, Anna Falcone and Tomaso Montanari, launched a proposal for an electoral list, for what was thought to be imminent elections. The appeal to a unified list away from the PD and the radical programme launched by the Brancaccio assembly, from the name of the theatre where it was presented, seemed to have picked up once again on the need for unity and radicality, lost in previous months.
But, once again, a unitary process was disregarded and, alongside it, so was the possibility of holding together two things that perhaps cannot be kept together: on the one hand, the need for a radical criticism of the policies that the centre-left had adopted in the recent past too; and, on the other hand, the possibility to use the breakdown of the democratic party.
Breaking Brancaccio’s path, two left-wing streams crystallize once again. On the first side sits the one that looks to the reconstruction of a centre-left, which aims to compete for a government that can nibble away at and temper liberal policies. On the second side lies the construction of a left that overturns tables, resisting and joining the many anti-neoliberal battles that are present throughout the country, and perhaps acting as inspiration for the many people who remain silent and powerless.
Sinistra Italiana and ex-PD MPs, aiming to assert their media exposure on parliamentary presence, have formed an electoral cartel called “Liberi e Uguali”, with the intention of turning it into a real political force. Political organisations such as Rifondazione Comunista and “L’Altra Europa con Tsipras”, as well as the many individual citizens who had believed in the proposal of a list with a radical profile and discontinuity with the past, found themselves in an assembly convened from a social centre in Naples, so as not to leave a continued present and active political space.
The novelty of a descent into the field of that precarious and underpaid generation, which so far has not been particularly involved in the sphere of politics, is certainly a positive and interesting event, even though the danger of an insignificant result remains very real.
However, these two left wings are not just two different political profiles. To some extent and with their due differentiations, they represent two social aspects that can be described in the context of the transformation of the neoliberal production model.
On the one hand, we have the world of guaranteed and stable work with its struggles for the defence of its conquests and the job. It stands against the attack in favour of deregulation and delocalization. The typical social bloc of the historical left and its battles on the one side, and the world of precariousness and wild exploitation on the other. This social layer of those who are unsecured, often unorganized and invisible in the sphere of governmental narrative represents another social bloc, also composed of people with black skin and without rights, that the economic crisis has magnified, and that national and European policies have impoverished and crushed.
This gap can also be seen in the trade union world and has been manifestly represented by two major demonstrations that were held on a national level within just a few days of one another. The first, promoted by the most important trade union, CGIL (Confederazione Generale Italiana del Lavoro), protested against the automatic raising of the retirement age, which will go up to 67 in 2019. There was a high turnout at the demonstration, which once again showed the need for a breakdown of the austerity policies imposed by the European Commission, to which the government itself had requested the possibility to amend.
The same CGIL, it must be said, had not promoted a barricade when this provision was taken by the Monti government in 2011. It is more interested in a relationship with the moderate trade-union bodies than with grassroots ones, and rather than adopting forms of radical conflict. This lack of radicalism and, in many cases, acquiescence towards government policies, has pushed workers towards disillusionment or grassroots unions which, on 16th December, participated in and, to a large extent supported, a national “Rights without borders” demonstration. Here, and for the first time so overwhelmingly, the vast majority of the participants were made up of migrants, living and working in our country. Alongside them, social centres, social solidarity organisations and the precarious world of work, filled the streets in a smaller parade, showing a resumption of social conflict outside the box.
The day after, many of those subjects were in an assembly to “accept the challenge” of the construction of an electoral list called “Potere al Popolo” (Power to the People).

It’s a dry heat…As the temperatures get higher so do the incidents of heat related illnesses such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke.
Several factors affect the body's ability to cool itself during extremely hot weather. When the humidity is high, sweat will not evaporate as quickly, preventing the body from releasing heat quickly. Other conditions related to risk include age, obesity, fever, dehydration, heart disease, mental illness, poor circulation, sunburn, and prescription drug and alcohol use.
Because heat-related deaths are preventable, people need to be aware of who is at greatest risk and what actions can be taken to prevent a heat-related illness or death. Summertime activity, whether on the playing field or the construction site, must be balanced with measures that aid the body's cooling mechanisms and prevent heat-related illness.
During hot weather you will need to increase your fluid intake, regardless of your activity level. Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink. During heavy exercise in a hot environment, drink two to four glasses (16-32 ounces) of cool fluids each hour.
Don't drink liquids that contain alcohol, or large amounts of sugar—these actually cause you to lose more body fluid. Also avoid very cold drinks, because they can cause stomach cramps.
A sports beverage can replace the salt and minerals you lose in sweat.
Wear as little clothing as possible when you are at home. Choose lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, wear a wide-brimmed hat (also keeps you cooler) along with sunglasses, and put on sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher (the most effective products say "broad spectrum" or "UVA/UVB protection" on their labels) 30 minutes prior to going out. Continue to reapply it according to the package directions.
If you must be outdoors, try to limit your outdoor activity to morning and evening hours.
Even in cool temperatures, cars can heat up to dangerous temperatures very quickly. Even with the windows cracked open, interior temperatures can rise almost 20 degrees Fahrenheit within the first 10 minutes. Anyone left inside is at risk for serious heat-related illnesses or even death. Children who are left unattended in parked cars are at greatest risk for heat stroke, and possibly death.

Every power generation plant manager is under pressure to produce more units — oftentimes with insufficient staff and vintage equipment. We're innovating to keep you up and running.
With an ever-increasing need to keep generating units up and running, aging facilities and demanding regulations often lead to increased costs and reduced reliability. By 2035 there will be a need for an additional 250 gigawatts of power in the U.S. alone, but environmental regulations have frozen CapEx at many fossil-fuel generating plants. Today's power plants have to address these challenges, while also thinking about the future of renewable energy. Our focus is on providing the most reliable products and services to help you manage system control, drive efficiencies and improve safety.
It's the same story for many power generation plants: big pressure to produce more generators to increase revenue with a large loss in headcount through retirements and downsizing. On top of that, much of the plant's equipment could be up to 50 years old and past its useful service life.
We can help support virtually every testing, maintenance and repair program with highly scalable staff and resources. Our life extension solutions keep your existing equipment up and running, while our switching, control and monitoring solutions help enable safe and effective power generation - helping you protect your people, process and even the planet.

Is it worth it to hire the services of a certified court reporter to have an audio file transcribed, be it a 10-minute mobile device recording or a multiple-hour meeting or hearing?
LISTENING SKILLS – Through experience, a court reporter has developed a keen skill of listening and can decipher difficult-to-hear homonyms, synonyms, and common and not-so-common slang terms and colloquialisms.
SPELLING EXPERTISE – A court reporter has the knowledge, experience and resources to distinguish proper contextual spellings.
RESEARCH KNOW-HOW – A court reporter knows when it’s appropriate to go deep into researching spellings from context, rather than guess, which makes the finished transcription more useful to the end user.
FAST TURNAROUND – A court reporter’s skill of timely capturing the spoken word from an audio file and creating a finished transcribed product for your use is incomparable.
ETHICS and CERTIFICATION – Though a court reporter was not present at the time of the spoken word when the audio file was created and, therefore, didn’t have the ability to contemporaneously clarify spellings, muffled speech and/or overlapping speaking, because of the ethical code of conduct that each certified court reporter is bound by, you can be assured that the court reporter will persist in listening and re-listening to the audio file to make sure the finished product is as accurate and complete as possible, and will certify that the transcript constitutes an accurate verbatim stenographic record captured from an audio recording, and that the court reporter has no financial interest nor any contract with any parties, attorneys, or persons with an interest in any action related to the transcription that would affect or have a substantial tendency to affect the court reporter’s independence or neutrality.
HELPFUL HINT FOR GREATER ACCURACY OF AUDIO TRANSCRIPTION – It might seem like a no-brainer, but it’s helpful to keep in mind that the better the quality of the recording of all voices, the more accurate and complete the finished transcribed product will be.
5 Responses to "Why People are Turning to Court Reporters to Transcribe Audio Files"
I can totally see why people would want to hire court reporters to do transcribing like this. From what I understand, court reporters are paid to type down every thing that is said during a court room case so that they have an exact record of it on file. It only makes sense that they would have the skills do this kind of work and to do it well.
Thanks for the post. I really like that court reporters are able to have such a fast turnaround. I think time is of the essence when dealing with important matters. I also like that they are able to capture the audio files. I think that can really make it much easier for read back and for clarity.
I had no idea that court reporters were so versatile. It’s great that they can be used for different things, like transcribing audio files. Maybe I will hire a court reporter to transcribe my vlogs because they work fast. Thanks for the idea!
I love the idea of using a court reporter for transcribing! I’m often out of the office when we have our big meetings and they always send me a recording when I’m not there. I try to listen to it, but a lot of the time it is really hard to understand. I’ll have to see if I can hire a court reporter to help me out with it so I can maybe read it instead.
The other day my daughter’s friend was telling me about his interest in becoming a court reporter, so I thought I would do a little research on what that is and why they’re necessary. It is so true that a job like that would require really great listening skills that would enable them to understand lots of less common words and slang. In my opinion, the more experience you have doing a job like this, the better you’ll be at it. I’ll be sure to remember this the next time her friends come over.

Great organizations constantly try to understand what makes them great…which is why I have written in the past about how Google does things, and how schools can learn from what they share. Google is, by any measure, a great company: people love to work there, they design and develop products and services that positively impact lives, and they are financially (very) successful.
Dependability: Team members get things done on time and meet expectations.
Structure and clarity: High-performing teams have clear goals, and have well-defined roles within the group.
Meaning: The work has personal significance to each member.
Impact: The group believes their work is purposeful and positively impacts the greater good.
Psychological Safety: …everyone is safe to take risks, voice their opinions, and ask judgment-free questions. A culture where managers provide air cover and create safe zones so employees can let down their guard.
Nearly every educator and school team with which I have interacted over the last five years has said they want more time and freedom to collaborate with colleagues. But effective collaboration is NOT a given; it takes the development of skills that many educators do not have. That is OK! We can learn those skills, and then groups of individuals become vastly more effective than the sum of their parts. Lacking this skill development, educators at your school will end up just wasting a lot of time together, rather than alone.
I should note that this list from Google is not the only one I respect and tout. In 2015 I commented extensively on the work of Alex Pentland and his teams at MIT reported in his book Social Physics, which found that effective teams also demonstrated key patterns of internal communication, sharing, and social networking. For school teams, this is “2.0” level work.
First, focus on ensuring that your teams, be they department or grade level groups, design teams, or the entire school community, learn and develop muscle in the five keys highlighted by Google. Your people will be both happier and more productive. One more lesson that Julie and I have learned from both successes and failures in helping school teams build these skills: like any great learning, one time through does not work. Building and exercising new muscles in effective teamwork requires frequent use, internal monitoring, time for reflection, and good feedback mechanisms. In other words, it takes practice. Sounds a lot like what we tell our kids and our students!

Skewed surveys Uncritical reporting and poorly-formed survey questions have lead to a "profound misreading" of the Australian public's response to climate change, a psychology conference will hear this week.
"I'm not trying to beat up the media or to be overly critical of my colleagues but there is a disconnect between what the data is saying, what's out there in the media, and where the public is at," says Reser, an environmental and social psychologist at Griffith University and the University of Queensland.
"We have to be serious about survey research on climate change," he adds.
"The consequences of getting it wrong does no justice to the public and also leads to flawed policy."
Reser says while the best available social science research shows a high level of public concern and engagement with the climate change issue, the general picture portrayed in the media suggests otherwise.
"I think over the past five or six years in Australia there has been a serious underestimation of how concerned the Australian public is about climate change and how distressed they are at so little government action," he says.
Reser says the misreading of public responses to climate change has had political implications.
"Going into the election there was a very clear sense that far fewer Australians accepted that climate change was happening than was actually the case," he says.
Reser says the problem is partly that the media does not discriminate between surveys that are based on research and those that are not.
"There are surveys and surveys," says Reser. "Social science based research surveys are very different from a casual poll of opinions."
"Very large headlines will come out sometimes for a survey that might have one or two items related to climate change in it."
Such surveys, he says, are unable to properly measure such things as level of concern, underlying beliefs, and desire for action.
He says even some research-based surveys have included poorly-formed questions making it difficult to get a clear picture from the results.
In addition, says Reser, some research-based surveys have been presented publicly in a way that misrepresents their overall findings.
For example, he says, the best available international research-based surveys shows between 80 and 90 per cent of people - in Australia, Europe and the US - accept climate change is a problem that governments and individuals can and should take action against.
However, media reports have often cited a 2010 CSIRO research-based survey as evidence that 40 per cent of people do not believe humans are playing a role in climate change, says Reser.
Yet, he says, this figure was based on one "unfortunately framed question and its associated response options". When taken as a whole, the CSIRO survey results showed the vast majority agreed that climate change was an issue of concern, says Reser.
He says one problem with survey designs is that questions can often be framed in a way that presents a false dichotomy to survey respondents.
For example, the CSIRO study asked respondents to choose between the following statements: "I think that climate change is happening, but it's just a natural fluctuation in Earth's temperatures" or "I think that climate change is happening, and I think that humans are largely causing it".
This gave no option for people who believed both natural fluctuations and human activity contributed substantially to climate change, says Reser.
Also, says Reser, some survey questions elicit a response that confuses beliefs about the severity of climate change and the policy question of what should be done about it.
This is a problem because some people can be quite concerned about the impacts of climate change, but are also concerned about the cost of doing something about it.
A further problem, says Reser, is that even research-based surveys often don't acknowledge that the public tend to use the term 'climate change' to refer to what the scientific community calls 'anthropogenic climate change'.
Reser says, this confusion has resulted in many survey results misreading the public's genuine response to climate change.

BIM technology, project management and coordination with design teams key to successful design of LEED Platinum rated building.
The facade provided by Benson for the Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal Building modernization project sets a new benchmark for innovation and performance. The features of the exterior envelope play a prominent role in helping to transform the 1974-vintage office building into a LEED Platinum pillar of sustainable design.
Consideration of holistic design elements was given to maximize the project goals, such as daylighting and shading. Solutions resulting from this approach included reed-like shading devices stretching up the entire 18-story height of the west facade and an integrated shade/light reflector on the south and east faces that are optimized for the building’s off-axis orientation. In addition to passive energy conservation elements, an unprecedented 9 inches of thermal insulation was furnished. Five inches are nested within the spandrel areas and an additional four inches were added to the interior. This cutting-edge curtainwall design helps to reduce the building’s overall energy use to 55-60% less than a typical office building.
The continuous shading scheme was achieved by designing a variety of extruded hollow aluminum reed sizes and lengths up to 30 feet long. Each reed is supported by horizontal light shelves spaced every two floors and cantilevers several feet above and below the supports, creating a rhythmic pattern. The exterior shading system helps to optimize the building’s VAV (variable air volume) mechanical system and minimizes provisions for interior cooling devices.
A demanding project schedule combined with the collaborative nature of the endeavor necessitated the use of BIM software. Benson worked in conjunction with the entire design team to assure accurate and accommodating input to the central model. The model proved to be invaluable to the success of this unique project. Various structural and aesthetic changes were seamlessly integrated into all affected components. In an effort to increase floor area and allow for blast load capacity of the original structure, the general contractor, Howard S. Wright, suggested extending the slab edge with ancillary pre-cast concrete additions. The necessary anchorage was confirmed to fit through analysis of the BIM model.

12:50 PM PT -- Dakota's rep tells us she is NOT pregnant, and they were just throwing a birthday party. The rep did not say what the deal was with the pink and blue balloons.
Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson are having a baby, and the timing of their gender reveal party is pretty interesting ... considering what Chris' ex just celebrated.
Chris and Dakota, who've been dating for about a year, had a party at his place on Sunday, and photos and video from the event make it clear what they were celebrating.
Blue and pink balloons were tied down in arches ... as their celeb friends arrived. Dakota's folks -- Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson -- walked in, along with Sean Penn and Julia Roberts.
Chris' big baby news came one week after Gwyneth Paltrow tied the knot with her new guy, Brad Falchuk. Chris didn't attend their wedding ... he was performing at the Global Citizen Festival in NYC, and Dakota was there with him.
Interesting, when Dakota walked onstage she was wearing a very baggy outfit and overcoat. Little did we know, she had a baby on board.

For its second observance, this year's Day will focus on "Innovating for Girls' Education". The fulfilment of girls' right to education is first and foremost an obligation and moral imperative. There is also overwhelming evidence that girls' education, especially at the secondary level, is a powerful transformative force for societies and girls themselves: it is the one consistent positive determinant of practically every desired development outcome, from reductions in mortality and fertility, to poverty reduction and equitable growth, to social norm change and democratization.
While there has been significant progress in improving girls' access to education over the last two decades, many girls, particularly the most marginalized, continue to be deprived of this basic right. Girls in many countries are still unable to attend school and complete their education due to safety-related, financial, institutional and cultural barriers. Even when girls are in school, perceived low returns from poor quality of education, low aspirations, or household chores and other responsibilities keep them from attending school or from achieving adequate learning outcomes. The transformative potential for girls and societies promised through girls' education is yet to be realized.
Recognizing the need for fresh and creative perspectives to propel girls' education forward, the 2013 International Day of the Girl Child will address the importance of new technology, but also innovation in partnerships, policies, resource utilization, community mobilization, and most of all, the engagement of young people themselves.

The Lawrence County Sheriff's Office has joined a growing number of Missouri Sheriff's who have place the national motto "In God We Trust" on its patrol cars. This despite some controversy from individuals who say it has no place on government vehicles.
Sheriff DeLay refutes those arguments that he is promoting one religion, that he is violating church and state regulations and that it is not allowed on government property.
"In God We Trust" has been our unofficial national motto since after the revolutionary war. It officially became our national motto in 1956 under President Eisenhower. It is on our currency, it is on our coinage, it is in multiple places within our own government. It was most recently reaffirmed by the United States Supreme Court on a challenge as to where it could be placed.
"I am simply a proud American and patriot," said Sheriff DeLay. I am proud to display our flag and national motto. I am proud to live in the greatest country in the world. If that offends you, so be it. This is my country too.

Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is capable of metabolizing toxic metals such as zinc and arsenic apart from iron and sulfur. This capability is not concentrated in one strain, but the resistance ability can be introduced by extracting DNA fragments from metal-resistant strains. The endonuclease Xbal was most successful in isolating the resistance genes of T. ferrooxidans, and restriction fragment analysis points to the high availability of these genes in resistance strains.

A study was conducted to examine the kinetic characteristics of a phenol hydroxylase cloned from the phenol-degrading bacterium Ralstonia eutropha strain E2. Results indicated that the cloned phenol hydroxylase is a multicomponent enzyme. The kinetic constants of the phenol-oxygenating activity indicated that the enzyme affects K(sub S) and K(sub SI) values for the cellular phenol-oxygenating activity.
Results demonstrate the metabolic plasticity of Ralstonia eutropha JMP134 in that the bacterium is able to grow in the presence of 3-chlorobenzoate or 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetone by enzymaticlly degrading the pollutants. Data further show that the bacterium loses the ability to grow on 2,4-D when cultured in the presence of 3-CB.

Salacgriva museum was founded in 1998 and it is the centre of local history for locals, tourists and historians. The museum collects and analyses historical information on fishing and fishermen of the seacoast of North Vidzeme and Lower Salaca river, the ancient lamprey fishing with weirs, on the history of Svētciems and Vecsalaca manors (Salacgriva has formed on the former lands of these manors), economical and political life of the area, nearby schools, churches and congregations, and, last, but not least - locals who have become well known in Latvia and the world in the fields of pedagogy, science, culture and arts, entrepreneurship and politics.
The permanent exhibition Zutiņš murdā (Lamprey in the fish pot) is a story on the history and traditions of lamprey fishing on Vidzeme coast, on the method of lamprey fishing with weirs, when a dam of tacis is built across the river and the lamprey is caught not with a fish pot, but puņģis. This ancient type of lamprey fishing can nowadays be found only here, in Salacgriva district, on Salaca and Svētupe rivers. This is a story on the main emphasis on 3 most valuable fish species in Salaca river and the sea - lamprey, salmon and eels.
Hear the story of the guide, join the discussion and conversation during the museum visit!

It has been a phenomenal and BUSY trip. Here’s a quick update, as well as a look ahead at the plans for the rest of the road trip (and some ways you can pray if you’d like).
I’ll leave Los Angeles today, headed toward Lubbock, Texas. Hopefully I can keep a slightly slower pace than on the way here. That experience seems to have worn me out more than I thought it did; I don’t know if there’s been any day I’ve felt fully rested.
I look forward to hanging out at Texas Tech (in Lubbock) Wednesday and Thursday. Surprisingly, I’ve never been to that campus, even though I’m from Texas and even lived in West Texas for awhile. It’s good for me to remedy that situation!
The trip really has been awesome so far. I’ve had at least 8 great sit-down meetings with college ministry-related people, 2 church visits Sunday morning, at least 4 campus visits (am I forgetting any?), plus all those connections during the College Leader Regional last Tuesday. AND I’ve had some great time with the friends I’m staying with. All ingredients of a great college ministry exploration.
Part of the reason for the exhaustion is that in the “cracks,” the spaces between all that activity, I’ve been working furiously on the ebook. Things are looking good, but it wears me out sometimes.
I’m planning to find a motel early on the trip today and CATCH UP. Not only do I need to catch up on sleep, I also need to catch up on messages (sorry for anyone who’s tried to contact me in the past week) and on the ebook. Oh – and I need to catch up on the NCAA tournament!
For an incredibly fruitful time between today and Saturday. Pray for great ministry visits and interviews in Lubbock.
For catching up on sleep.
For a great (and safe) drive. Road trips can be awesome times of prayer and thought and relaxation and fun. But they aren’t automatically that way.
For finishing my book well. I’m excited about it.
Thanks, friends, for joining with me in exploring college ministry.
Next Postbetter connection! better access!

2 Men Blamed Slaying Victim for Problems, Taped Confession Shows : Crime: Admission comes in the trial of a man charged in the death of an activist in the Estonian community.
An Estonian refugee and his alleged accomplice had planned to kill themselves because they were hungry and broke after the Estonian community abandoned them, but they decided to kill a North Hollywood woman they blamed for their problems first so she could not laugh at their deaths. The admission came in a taped confession played Tuesday for a San Fernando Superior Court jury in the murder trial of Peter Sakarias, 24.
Estonian Refugee Given Death Sentence in Slaying : Courts: Judge denies a new trial for the man convicted in the killing of a North Hollywood woman.
In an eleventh-hour attempt to save a convicted murderer from the death penalty, a defense attorney Thursday asked for a new trial, saying that his argument for a sentence of life in prison was hampered by "hyper-technical" rulings by the trial judge. But San Fernando Superior Court Judge Howard J. Schwab denied the motion and sentenced Peter Sakarias, 24, to death for the brutal 1988 killing of Viivi Piirisild, 52, a North Hollywood woman active in the local Estonian community.
Jury Recommends Death Penalty for Murder of Estonian Activist : Courts: A Soviet army deserter who defected to the United States had been convicted of killing the woman who sheltered him.
After nine days of deliberations, jurors in San Fernando Superior Courton on Monday recommended that a Soviet army deserter die in the gas chamber for killing the Estonian activist who gave him shelter in her North Hollywood home. Tauno Waidla, 23, showed no emotion as the court clerk read the jury's decision.
Their countries no longer exist as independent entities. They have no governments to report to. Yet, three diplomats from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania still wave their flags in Los Angeles with hopes that someday soon they will be representing more than a dream. For almost half a century, Los Angeles has been the only city in the world with honorary consulates for all three Baltic states.
Two years ago, Mart Niklus, an Estonian human rights activist, spent his days monotonously attaching electrical cords onto irons in a labor camp in the Soviet Union. But on Saturday, Niklus, whose imprisonment was widely decried throughout the Western world, was sitting in the den of a Bell Canyon residence speaking whimsically about hummingbirds. "I'd like very much to see the birds of America," he told his host, Jaak Treiman, the honorary counsel for Estonians in Los Angeles.
Two Estonians who deserted from the Soviet army and were welcomed by fellow countrymen in Los Angeles were charged Friday with the murder of a North Hollywood woman, a well-known Estonian activist who had fled her homeland during World War II to escape the Soviets. Peter Sakarias, 21, and Tauno Waidla, 20, were being held without bail in the July 12 murder of Viivi Piirisild, 52, who was found beaten to death with the blunt side of an ax in her home in the 6900 block of Goodland Avenue.
On an out-of-the-way stretch of Riverside Drive, across from the Colony Theatre and not far from the four-lane concourse that rises to Dodger Stadium, the Los Angeles Latvian community has built a church and a large community center on excess highway land. Latvians converge there on Sundays to worship, mix and renew the ties of political will that have kept their circle together for 40 years, even as its individuals were dispersing to all parts of suburban Southern California.
