To resolve poor foot posture, podiatrists typically cast a patients sole and send the impression to a lab to make custom orthotic insoles. On their return, these are trimmed and adjusted to improve the fit. Alternatively kits offer a “cut-up and bond” solution with varying levels of accuracy and time-consuming preparation.
Healthy Step approached Lucid’s team to develop a better custom orthotic insole solution – involving streamlining the process for custom fit insoles from two to one appointment.
Reducing the waiting list, as well as saving time and money, was considered an attractive proposition to cash-strapped public healthcare providers.
Lucid’s design team carefully observed podiatric treatments.
We used existing cut-and-bond kits and drew on anthropometric data to create a series of ideas for faster, simpler and more adjustable products.
Drawing on extensive experience in injection-moulding techniques, a design was created using a series of insoles and “plug-in” wedge components. Using rapid prototypes, product configurations were extensively tested and improved.
After liaising with suppliers, we created production-ready data for tool-making and moulding.
12 years on, VectOrthotic® insoles are still on the market, and still effectively treating referred pain caused by poor foot posture.

The earliest period of the Archdiocese under the leadership of Archbishops Martin Henni, Michael Heiss and Frederick Katzer.
The post-war baby boom and rapid suburban expansion define this era of Archdiocesan history, which includes the latter part of Kiley's term, the administration of Albert G. Meyer and a portion of the term of William E. Cousins.
This period discusses the most recent period of our history and covers the sweeping changes made by the Second Vatican Council through the present day.

What’s up everybody! We’re back with another performance review. Up next is the Nike Zoom Run the One, a shoe currently rocked by James Harden. The shoe has been out in the US for a long time now and just recently made their way here locally. Currently we got two colorways available in the Team Bank series, one blue and one black. The Zoom Run the One is a follow up to the Zoom crusader which Harden also rocked last season. They basically have the same build with some tweaks and adjustments. So let’s get right to it!
The design of the Run the One is still very similar to the Crusader but with less material. The upper features a one-piece sock-like inner sleeve unlike the Crusader which used two layers. Mesh covers most of the upper with dynamic flywire on the forefoot and fuse for added support. A white phylon midsole adds contrast to the black upper while zoom on the forefoot completes the design.
The main feature here is the zoom unit on the forefoot which gives you that responsive cushioning. Right off the box the shoe felt comfortable and I did feel the zoom right away. No break in time for me during my runs and the shoe felt good right away. Cushioning was not an issue both at on the forefoot and heel. The zoom was not the most responsive out there but you could feel it and you know it’s there. Overall it was a good ride and it got the job done.
They fit true to size. Having a one-piece bootie construction does give it that snug fit so you can adjust up to a half size up I think. The sock-like inner sleeve hugs your foot in pretty good and adds lockdown. I liked the one-piece construction and it felt good on my foot. The mesh upper made it light and flexible, definitely better for me than fuse uppers. Dynamic flywire on the forefoot adds support that you need on cuts and stops and also holds your foot in better. Overall you get a decent fit with the Run the One and I didn’t find any issues here.
The upper is constructed mostly of mesh material which gives you decent air flow and breathability. The shoe uses less material overall so you won’t have a problem with hot spots. No issues in this area, you’re good to go!
The Zoom Run the One uses a unique multidirectional pattern on the outsole. Looking at it, I didn’t expect too much out of it but it performed well enough. On clean courts I don’t think you’ll have any problem, as well as outdoors. Personally, I still prefer the traditional herringbone pattern which is tried and tested. I didn’t have any problems during my runs but I would love to have a little more grip cuts and sudden change of direction.
The main support comes from the fit of the one-piece bootie construction which hugs your foot and keeps it locked down. The laces add more support at the mid foot and you can lace them up tight without any pain on your bones. Flywire on the forefoot keeps your foot in check without restricting movement. The shoe moves well with your foot and I didn’t feel any restriction. Overall you get decent support and it gets the job done, but I would rate it a notch lower than the kobes which had better support for me.
Overall, the Zoom Run the One is a good everyday hoop shoe which you can rock on both wooden and outdoor surfaces. It’s light, offers good cushioning, and has all the basics you need to perform well on the court. Best of all, with a price tag of P4,795, this is almost a steal. Wait, it is a steal. Grab your own pair now at select Toby’s Sports outlets around the metro.
Good everyday hoop shoe. Perfect for guards and players who need something light and flexible with decent fit, support and cushioning. Price tag is a giveaway.

When this place is figured out, they will have to choose the very best area for the sewer rodding. They will find the largest clear out area closest to the clog and where they can decrease the cutter head of the rodding devices, so that it requires the minimum power. Rodding machines include various cable televisions, power capacities and cutting heads and experience in clearing numerous such obstructions, will permit the professional to figure out exactly what action needs to be required to remove the clogs from the sewage system in your home or business. They might choose to drain pipes out a sewage system before they begin rodding, as at times water can add to damage of pipes, during rodding operations.
Once the rodding operations are begun, it is continued up until the cable television with the cutter head reaches a clear portion of the sewer or as much as the main city trunk line. This distance is noted, and the cutter is once again extracted and sent out through once again to see if any other difficult spots are present and require cleansing operations. The resulting particles has then to be extracted and taken a look at to identify its nature. The existence of wood might suggest tree roots and the property owner will be asked to take action to prevent reoccurrence of the problem.
Modern plumbing has a variety of techniques for keeping sewage system gasses out of a home. One of the most popular is the P trap. P traps are very important due to the fact that sewage system gasses can be hazardous to your health as well as smell bad.
The P trap efficiency at trapping sewage system gasses is all due to its style. It begins by going strait below the drain, then it has a p shaped bend on the bottom, and it ends with a horizontal pipeline after it curves up. This p shaped bend is implied to trap a little water in the pipe. This water imitates a barrier, keeping any drain gasses from entering the room.
P traps are normally discovered in bathrooms on any drain that leads to the sewer. This includes showers, sinks, and floor drains pipes. Toilets utilize a modified P trap described as an S trap that is meant to make sure that all wast leaves the toilet while leaving some water to obstruct the gasses.
If you smell drain gas in a room with a P trap, it is most likely that the trap is empty of water. to check this you need to do is shine a flashlight at it. If it does not show back, it is empty and you must add some water to refill it. If this doesn’t work then you may need to call a plumber to fix the P trap or another pipe.
If sewage system line clogs repeat within a short time of the rodding operations, it can show other issues that might not be quickly solved by this operation. It would then be necessary to identify the entire network, user practices and other reasons that do trigger sewer clogs. At times, it may be required to replace a sewer to obtain a long-term option. Luckily, nowadays there are companies that can undertake this operation through trench-less replacement of pipes, so that the work is done without any inconvenience to the homeowner.

1-The problem is: The temperature conversion is not good, for example when i ajdust LM35 to 89°C the LCD displays 39°C or for 30°C the LCD displays 09°C.
2- When running Proteus, if i change the value of LM35, the LCD value do not change lively, i have to stop simulation and restart the simulation.

Vinger lives in Los Angeles (if you couldn’t tell), and shifted gears from performing as an actor and dancer to learning about spirits and cocktails. According to Time Out, she started researching the health benefits of kale after several family members were diagnosed with cancer. After discovering that liquor infused with kale had never been done commercially (I wonder why?), she spent four years experimenting until she created the perfect recipe.
Now, Vinger is releasing VING into the marketplace with help from a Ventura, CA distillery, which provides her with a non-GMO based spirit. She then adds local, organic produce to create a vodka that might just trick you into thinking you’re drinking something healthy.
The vodka is marketed as “the only farm fresh ultra premium vodka,” so they’re hitting both the agro-conscious and luxury-seeking corners of the market. Well done. According to the brand’s website, the vodka is “the smoothest and cleanest sipping vodka because all the produce is fresh, hand inspected, and made without the use of any additives. VING’s unique and exceptional flavor is perfected in small batches.” And maybe best of all, there’s only 97 calories per serving – since it’s sold as a “sipping” vodka, there’s really no need to shake it with a sugary mixer, just a splash of water.
Vinger has ambitious plans to launch seasonal, limited-run infusions, but in the meantime, you can find her vodka in restaurants throughout the Los Angeles area, as well as online. A corn variety, that reportedly has a lightly sweet finish, is also available.

Residual Limb Pain – Medical Marijuana Research Overview – IndyCann – Higher Society of Indiana Inc.
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), two major cannabinoids found in cannabis, have been shown to effectively reduce pain caused by cancer, neuropathy, spasticity, headache, migraines, and other acute pain and chronic pain conditions (Jensen, Chen, Furnish & Wallace, 2015) (Baron, 2015). THC and CBD are agonists of the two main cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) of the endocannabinoid system within the body. These receptors regulate the release of neurotransmitter and central nervous system immune cells to manage pain levels (Woodhams, Sagar, Burston & Chapman, 2015). As a result, the cannabinoids have demonstrated the ability to significantly lower neuropathic and nociceptive pain, and has even shown it can help manage pain that has proven refractory to other treatments (Boychuck, Goddard, Mauro & Orellana, 2015) (Wallace, et al., 2015) (Lynch & Campbell, 2011).
Cannabis can also help those whose residual limb pain is caused from diabetes. Cannabis use has been found to have an inverse association with diabetes (Alshaarawy & Anthony, 2015). In addition, in animal trials, CBD was shown to significantly reduce both pro-inflammatory cytokines in the bloodstream and the incidence of diabetes in non-obese mice (Weiss, et al., 2006). Later, those same researchers found that CBD was effective at curtailing the manifestations of the disease. Only 30% of the CBD-treated mice in a latent diabetes stage or with initial symptoms of diabetes ended up developing diabetes (Weiss, et al., 2008).
No states have approved medical marijuana specifically for the treatment of residual limb pain. However, in Washington D.C., any condition can be approved for medical marijuana as long as a DC-licensed physician recommends the treatment. In addition, a number of other states will consider allowing medical marijuana to be used for the treatment of residual limb pain with the recommendation from a physician. These states include: California (any debilitating illness where the medical use of marijuana has been recommended by a physician), Connecticut (other medical conditions may be approved by the Department of Consumer Protection), Massachusetts (other conditions as determined in writing by a qualifying patient’s physician), Nevada (other conditions subject to approval), Oregon (other conditions subject to approval), Rhode Island (other conditions subject to approval), and Washington (any “terminal or debilitating condition”).

USA Track & Field opted out of Eugene on Wednesday, awarding the 2020 U.S. Olympic Trials to Mt. San Antonio College in suburban Los Angeles.
Eugene staged the trials in 2008, 2012 and 2016, and had bid for the 2020 meet along with Mt. SAC and Sacramento.
The USATF board of directors voted 11-2 to accept the Mt. SAC bid.
TrackTown USA/USATF president Vin Lananna did not take part in the deliberations and recused himself from voting. TrackTown USA is the Eugene local organizing committee for major track meets.
USATF board member Lauren Fleshman, a Bend resident and former professional distance runner, said the decision should not be interpreted as a vote against Eugene or TrackTown USA.
"They were extremely professional, and they want to host as many things as possible," Fleshman said. "But long term, you can't build track on one city. I'm very comfortable with Eugene being the epicenter of the sport. Their work continues to be critically important.
"But it's hard to argue against the idea there needs be more than one capable city."
Mt. SAC has some advantages. It is part a large metropolitan area and served by an international airport. It is more accessible to more of the country than Eugene, and provides more housing and transportation options for fans from outside the area.
Mt. SAC is in the midst of a $62 million upgrade of Hilmer Lodge Stadium that is scheduled for completion in 2019. The upgrade will enable the stadium to expand to 21,000 seats.
"We're confident Mt. SAC will provide an extraordinary experience for athletes, fans, officials and volunteers," USATF board chairman Steve Miller said in a USATF release announcing the decision.
The school stages the annual Mt. SAC Relays, one of the major meets on the U.S. spring schedule. The U.S Women's Olympic Trials were held there in 1968.
Tom Jordan is meet director of the Prefontaine Classic, held annually at Hayward Field in Eugene and a member of the prestigious Diamond League series. Jordan wonders if it would have been better for Mt. SAC to hold a USATF championships meet before taking on the trials.
"Mt. SAC is the new kid on the block in the sense of having a new facility and having people energized about putting this on," said Jordan, who is not formally connected to TrackTown USA. "Their challenge is turn that energy into putting on a well-organized event."
That challenge has been met in Eugene, where the community rallied around the last three Olympic Trials.
Eugene has been awarded the 2021 World Outdoor Championships. To stage that meet, Hayward Field must undergo a renovation to bring it up to minimum requirements of the International Association of Athletics Federations, track and field's world governing body.
The renovation, expected to begin last summer, has been delayed indefinitely.
Originally, plans called for the renovation to take two years, with breaks to allow Hayward to stage the Prefontaine Classic, the state high school track meets, and the NCAA Outdoor Championships, scheduled for Eugene through 2021.
If the renovation is delayed much longer, those meets could be forced to relocate for at least a year.
Fleshman said the availability of Hayward Field for 2020 was not discussed by the USATF board.
"That never came up, honestly," said Fleshman, who was coached by Lananna at Stanford and professionally. "I've been in Vin's orbit since 1999. I don't know if I've ever seen him come up short at something he has set his mind to."
TrackTown CEO Michael Reilly said the Hayward renovations will be completed before the 2020 trials.
"The athletes, the media, the spectators would have walked into a stadium like none other in the world," Reilly said.
Reilly said members of his organization are disappointed.
"We put forward a world-class bid with a strong vision for how we could partner with everyone in the sport to make the 2020 Olympic Trials a great one," Reilly said. "But we're very confident, given that we were going up against two very strong organizing committees, that Mt. SAC will do a good job."

What motivated you to work at Tresata this summer?
“Opportunity knocks on our door only once.” This is something that I truly believe. Tresata’s Internship is one such opportunity that came to me this summer. Little did I know before coming here that this Internship would be such a great learning experience in my career. I wanted to learn something new in my internship and the cutting-edge technologies used by Tresata made them an obvious choice to pursue.
What has been your main project/focus this summer? What technologies are you using in your work?
Vinoth, Michael Deng, (the other interns in my team) and I worked as a team on our project. We were excited as the project started almost right away (in the third week of the internship). It was exciting to work on a agile product team and see new features being added to our application each week. We developed a plan for the work and divided it amongst ourselves. I was really slow in the first two weeks, as we couldn’t complete the tasks that we had planned to deliver. After working together for two weeks, our team had a clear idea on what we were doing and had a better understanding of how to make sure we were getting done what needed to be done by the end of each day. We learned coordination, how to plan and work together as a team with a common goal. We also learned how to get beyond impediments to progress. I should mention here that the technical support that we received from Jayesh (the Director of the Product team and our mentor) was a huge help. He had answers for all the questions that we had and helped us realize the importance of effective delegation and communication. Constant feedback sessions really helped us improve and avoid silly, future mistakes..
Having previously worked in an industrial setting using only Microsoft technologies, I realized the freedom and power of open source technologies provide developers.
Some of the technologies that I learned over my time included Angularjs, Node JS and Mongo DB.
Besides your projects, what has been your favorite part of your internship this summer?
Some of the best experiences that you get at Tresata is the Lunch and Learn on Fridays. Lunch and learns are weekly presentations given by one of the Tresata employees every Friday afternoon and lunch is catered by the company. Even as interns, we had our chance to present the project that we developed during the course of the internship. I thought this was very cool that we were able to do this an interns. I’d bet very few get that opportunity during internship. My personal favourite sessions were the Lunch & Learn with Abhi where I got to know more about Tresata as a company and what they do and also the session with Jainin and Richard presenting about their recent pilot with a retail client.
Here is what I came up while trying to summarize my experience.
As a Masters student in Computer Science and with the skills that I had developed in these 8 weeks, I feel confident to take more opportunities that come in my way. I would like to thank everyone at Tresata for providing me a great learning platform.
Writer’s update: Srini will be joining the Tresata team again this Fall as a part of our co-op program. We’re looking forward to continuing to work with him.

Testing is one of the most important aspects of footbike’s designing and production. We test our footbikes in the engineering testing institute in Jablonec and they conform to all legislative requirements. Unfortunately, the up-to-date standards are not in accordance with the current market situation. This standard aims especially at the footbikes with in-line wheels. Therefore we prepared our own intern method to test footbikes and their components. This intern standard is stricter than the required one but it also concentrates more on the real-use conditions. Testing is done in both indoor and outdoor environment.
The first step is data collection and analysis: the footbike is equipped with tensometers which allow to record direction and effect of various forces. Thereafter, the results are processed, the collected data analysed and then the peripheral conditions for the footbike’s design are set up, including possible modifications for the footbike’s construction.
Tensometer placing on the footbike frame.
The data are collected in the computer attached to the handlebars.
The established peripheral conditions (a strain the footbike is required to handle) collected during the analysis are used for designing the footbike. We project a model and verify the data with help of the theoretical computations. If everything is okay, we can begin to construct the prototype. The last step is testing on testing places and in real-world environment. All collected testing data are employed to the final product.
The most important step is the material fatigue behaviour testing. According to the static load, we are unable to determine if the footbike is dimensioned enough. That’s because during the ride various forces affect the footbike, which is different from the static load. Therefore, we concentrate on testing of the fatigue rupture caused by variable dynamical forces.
The testing state of the complete footbike is very important since it makes the testing process shorter. Carl II (the name of our newest station for the complete footbike) can ride almost 40,000 km within two months - that’s quite enough for testing rider. Carl says he doesn’t use stimulants at all but we aren’t too sure about that. Carl’s ride shows perfectly how the material fatigue actually works.
And where are you going, Carl? Since Carl is an exemplary and good guy, he rides as we tell him. Carl is equipped with recorded data from previous observation and “he” affects footbike with equal strain as if he rode it. He repeats the set up riding cycle and rides thousands of kilometres in short period of time. We can simulate the real strain and test the footbike behaviour under long-term strain. It allows us to make high-quality footbikes available on the market. This method applies for testing of randomly chosen pieces from the production series as well.

text: The Portugieser Constant-Force Tourbillon Edition “150 Years” stands out as one of the technical highlights in the jubilee collection. This model has a platinum case, a blue dial with a lacquered finish, and rhodium-plated hands. It is available in a limited edition of just 15 watches. For the first time, the new IWC-manufactured hand-wound 94805 calibre, with a power reserve of 96 hours, combines a constant-force tourbillon with a single moon phase display. This moon phase display needs to be adjusted by only one day every 577.5 years. The patented constant-force mechanism disengages the escapement from the direct flow of power from the wheel train, and transmits completely even impulses to the escape wheel. In conjunction with the tourbillon, which compensates for the negative influences of gravity on the watch’s oscillating system, this achieves a very high level of precision.

This supplement guide is to help others understand Katie’s feelings, explain Katie’s actions, and to introduce tactics/techniques for parents, teachers and treating professionals that can be used in order to help and offer support to a child with SM in times of stress and frustration. By reading ‘Understanding Katie,’ adults involved in the life of a child with Selective Mutism and social anxiety will hopefully begin to comprehend how this child feels and perhaps learn productive ways in which to help.
For individuals learning about Selective Mutism, there are certain important concepts to understand. The Supplement Guide goes over in detail, necessary therapeutic terms and that should be used to help the child suffering in silence.
To truly understand how to HELP the child with SM, individuals need to ‘SEE” Selective Mutism as a true communication anxiety. Treatment should never be geared towards getting the child to speak immediately but helping the child progress through the stages of communication in a step-wise fashion which is based on the child’s present communication anxiety level.
Treatment should be focused on the WHOLE CHILD, not their mutism. The Supplement Treatment Guide to Understanding Katie will therefore help parents, teachers and treating professionals SEE SM from the correct perspective and therefore be able to help ease the child anxiety while at the same time, help the child build their self esteem as well as communication and confidence in social settings.

Actually the "best" jobs in America are what you would expect: Medical and tech jobs.
According to Glassdoor, here is the whole list of Best jobs in America.

I have always been amazed by the left’s love affair with socialism, their willingness to stick up for regimes that hate the US. While they have no problem attacking the president, this government, the evilness they see in our nation, they ignore all the atrocities, the mass murder, and genocide, the total lack of any rights in socialist countries, this seems to be what they want to bring here.
In the 1950’s and 60’s, they marched with signs, “Better Red the Dead,” the New York Times would write glowing pieces about Stalin’s Russia but refused to cover the famine that was going on in the 30’s.
What has always been interesting, and you will see this int he links give with Tuckers interview with a lifelong socialist who claims North Korea is just heavenly. She believes it is a benign nation that is nothing but a socialist paradise. Of course, when asked questions that need to be answered, she either quickly changes the subject or naturally refuses to answer them.
This does seem to the be the way of the left, when you can’t answer truthfully, you ignore the question, then act like it was never asked. A perfect example of this is when people call for Trump to be impeached; you ask what crime, naturally they can’s show any law he broke.
We do hear obstruction, but the president is the head of the government, under the law he has the legal right to hire and fire heads of agencies. That is why when Nixon was in office, Lincoln and even back to Jefferson, when they had the justice department not doing as they demanded, they fired the people that were in the way.
I think the worst part of this, and it shows how little love these Democrats have for this nation; they will scream that Trump is a dictator (naturally no one can show you how he is one). Then they condemn him, yell that the citizens should march on Washington and remove him, but in the next breath, they gush over North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un.
I read a book a couple of months ago that was a technothriller; in the book, the North Koreans figured out a way to smuggle a nuke weapon into Washington, when it went off the people in New York, San Francisco, Portland and other liberal cities danced in the streets because Trump was killed. The sad truth is they may very well do such a thing if it happened.
We have democratic leaders screaming for impeachment, but there are no crimes shown, but they loved Fidel, and yet his crimes were well documented.
Hollywood stars have openly called for an insurrection against Trump to kick off a civil war, yet they still ooze with praise over Stalin.
At this point I am so tired of it I have stopped watching all movies done recently, refuse to go to movie theaters, this is my protest. I will not contribute my money to aid in their seditious behavior, I think the ones calling for Trump’s death should be sitting in jail, we all know if I had done such a thing against Obama I would still be in prison.
It is time for silence to stop, we all need to speak out on this, to plaster social networks exposing this hypocrisy and outright hatred for the US we see from the left. The Left’s leaders like Pelosi and the rest, they love to speak of patriotism, but they have no clue what that means, it is time to drain the swamp, if it is not drained then we need to do so at the polls. Also, if the far left does take up arms, as many are now calling for, we need to be ready to protect what is, never to allow any enemy, either from outside or within, to undo what is a great nation and work.

You are some kind of mad scientist trying to create some chaos and destroy some stuff. But first, you'll need to level up your creatures so they can be the monster that you expect.
You got to click on the egg to hatch it, then click on the monsters to make them level up. Once you've reached Level 10 you can evolve your creature and than, trade them for Chaos points. The higher the level of your evolved creature, the more points you get.
Left Click - Hatch the egg/Give XP to creatures.
Right Click - Evolve your creature/Send your evolved creature to the world.
Interesting idea for an idle game! Nice work with the graphics. Once you fill the screen with monsters it's pretty hard to lose though, as they'll give you extra time when they level up. I had 600 seconds left, then I got bored =P Good job!
Nice! Awesome graphics (kudos to your artist)! Took a little while to understand, but fun once I got the hang of it!
The monsters are cool and so is the concept. But the game is exhaustive and aimless over time.
Good idea and graphic style.
I didnt understand the gameplay at first but after some experiments I figured it out, maybe it gets too hard to reach them up, maybe some powerup to help it?
MY ARM!!!! That was fun but a bit painful. Good job!
Interesting idea, seems like it could go on forever though. If you expand it, maybe add some goals!

I have dedicated my life to understanding and exploring the experience of inspiration, as well as the sensations that give rise to it, including: passion, intuition, receptivity, playfulness, and self-transcendence. As a University of Arizona psychologist, I have studied the relationship of inspiration to creativity, health, and wellness. For more than two decades, I have brought together and mentored individuals who, like me, recognize the importance of inspiration as both a source of motivation and a guiding force in their lives.
The experience of inspiration is a central theme in everything I write. The Chanter’s Guide details the healing properties of inspiration and explains how the practice of chanting can facilitate this kind of transformative experience. In The Way of Play, I explore the inspiring qualities of play. Repose: The Potent Pause, co-authored with health psychologist Jhan Kold, introduces an inspirational tool that can improve health and productivity at no cost and with minimal effort or time commitment. In Deep Creativity, I examine the creative power of inspiration and provide specific strategies for getting and staying inspired.
I head two groups that promote the experience of inspiration: PlayHaven, which offers creative play for people of all ages, and Global Chant, a network of chanting circles that embraces wisdom and sacred music from all traditions. I have spoken to groups on four continents about inspiration, creativity, play, Repose, chanting, self-transcendence and the future of spirituality. My Intuition in Pregnancy study has been featured in USA Today, Pregnancy magazine, and NBC’s Today show.

All participants went home with a temporary henna tattoo (lasting around 2 – 4 weeks), and information about how to create henna art of their own. Some of the teens even designed and applied their own tattoos!

As a woman, if you find yourself in an office where there are few women or are the only woman, it is your duty to lobby, if you will, for more opportunities for women.
In this era of social media, globalization and hyper-connectivity, it is important that networks of women know how to access what they need, to become successful in the workplace and in life. This article is specifically about women supporting one another in the workplace.
When I was a Union scholar with Harvard University in the Labour and Worklife Rights department, I saw certain trends of women supporting each other in the workplace, similar to my time at the American Foreign Service Association – the only bargaining union and professional association for the American Foreign Service. Here are some knowledge points I gathered on best practices.
Supporting women in the workplace is, firstly, important in terms of representation. The U.S presidential election, for the first time, fielded a woman for a major party’s candidate. The outcome showed an outstanding number of white women who supported Clinton’s opponent, most of who later regretted their choice of vote too late. Now, we have the U.S president making major changes to laws that affect women everywhere- from Planned Parenthood, to contraception, maternity leave, penalties for sexual assault and harassment, and so on.
When women are adequately represented, not only in political positions and executive levels, but equally in office settings, norms are set that benefit the entire collective and aid in productive work environment. Representation is most necessary as it aids in the pursuit of equality, helping a generation’s ability to view all members as being equally capable.
As a woman, if you find yourself in an office where there are few women or are the only woman, it is your duty to lobby, if you will, for more opportunities for women. The value in numbers is what discourages acts of discrimination and you will be also better positioned to demand benefits that would aid your work-life balance. Work-life balance can be measured by the right type of work benefits that enable you to be your most productive, most efficient human being, employee or employer. These can include vacation time, paid maternity leave, allowances, paid trainings and courses, facilities like nursing rooms and day care at the job, student loan/ debt repayment and more.
When it comes to requesting benefits, the value in numbers can prove instrumental. For example, if you are requesting a change to policy (to, say, paid maternity leave duration, or day care in the worksite, higher salary, equal pay to male counterparts etc), if you are the only woman seeking it, you may be less likely to achieve this. But if there are a number of talented women banning together to demand better benefits in order to best manage their work-life balance, the benefits would roll out!
Everyone knows that mentors are vital to growth- professionally and personally. This isn’t Sunday service, but if we look at the story of Ruth and Naomi in the Bible, we can see the clear link between sticking to the side of an elder or more experienced person, and where it can lead your life. Even looking at Mordecai and Esther, he was her father and mother as she was orphaned, and he guided her with clear instructions on how to make moves in the palace, which led to her saving her people. A mentor is one key thing that every professional needs. If your supervisor or boss isn’t your mentor, find one who has been in the industry that you are pursuing your goals in. Be sure (s)he is successful at it. When you find a good one, reach out solely for advice. Tell him(her) your story, your ambitions, your dreams, your goals and your plans to reach those goals. Be clear with your intention to make her your mentor.
Because we are going against the poor statistics of women development, it is important for women to support one another now more than ever. According to the United Nations, throughout the world, women cannot claim to have the same right and equal opportunities as men in many areas, including: economy (women represent 66% of the world’s working hours, but earn only earn 10% of the world’s income and half of what men make); technology and information (200 million fewer women have access to the Internet than men); and education (there are approximately 960 million illiterate adults in the world, of whom two thirds are women). Also, women represent 70% of the world’s poor yet make up half the world’s population; and in developing countries, millions of women die each year as a result of gender-based violence which is listed as being a significant cause of disability and death among women worldwide. These are additional reasons we must support one another in our workplaces, places of worship, communities and beyond.
Networks are useful in supporting women to overcome the universal, cultural and structural barriers they face in building a career. Political networks are everywhere – women organizations such as the UmuAdas of the world, to the Women Ministry in our churches and mosques, to the mothers in the parent associations in schools. It is important to always keep these networks vibrant and active to promote not only more opportunities for women economically, educationally and professionally but also, for the next generation.

Almost a million potholes have been recorded by local authorities on Britain’s roads each year since 2015 with an astonishing 1,088,965 potholes being reported in 2016.
This data was obtained following a Freedom of Information request by Yorkshire-based insurance provider The Insurance Emporium to 205 local authorities, 175 of whom responded.
During 2017-18, some 335 pothole damage and injury claims were filed against local authorities.
Personal and dental injuries to cyclists accounted for 16% of these, and damage to the bike 26%.
The chances of successfully claiming for damage or injury after hitting a pothole seem pretty low however, with just 9% prevailing.
Cheshire East Council had the highest overall number of claims made against it for pothole-related damage and injury - 46 such claims since 2015.
Hampshire County Council was next highest at 37.
Manchester City Council and Tower Hamlets Council came third highest with 30 claims each.
Several local authorities in Yorkshire also had high pothole numbers on their roads, with Kirklees Council, Sheffield City Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council in the UK’s top 10 worst locations for potholes.
By contrast, London and Greater London generally had impressively low pothole numbers as did several small islands such as the Isles of Scilly and Shetland.
Professor Nicholas Thom of Nottingham University, and UK pothole expert, said: “Potholes are not an inevitable fact of life. They are caused by water that gets into the road surface and is then squeezed by the action of high tyre pressures, made worse by freezing and thawing. Very impermeable surfaces, such as hot rolled asphalt, are extremely pothole resistant but they are more expensive and less nice to drive on.

I have lived for the most part of my life in the Southern part of India. And I have always assumed my knowledge of South Indian food (as food from the 4 Southern states namely Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh is referred too) is fairly good. But it is when you travel that you open up yourself for surprises. Travel is fascinating because it always reminds you in a very gentle manner that you possibly don’t know everything about anything!
On our way from Kabini to Bangalore we were driving through Mysore and our cab driver took us to a vegetarian restaurant called Kamat. A small rather nondescript yellow board marked the entrance to the restaurant. The parking was quite big indicating that possibly a lot of people driving through Mysore made a pit stop here. It was right at lunch time when we walked in and we had to wait for some time to be seated. While we waited we saw a few ladies making rotis (flatbread) and cooking them on an open stove. In Tamil Nadu its not common to find rotis or chapatis as part of a traditional meal. But this was Karnataka and things here were different.
I had my mind set on eating a full meal served on a banana leaf. Eager to eat as much sambar (a lentil preparation cooked with vegetables and spices) as I can, I skipped on the roti and started straight with rice. As soon as the leaf was laid out within no time was I served pachadi (grated or chopped cucumber and onions mixed with yoghurt), a chutney, holige curry (a spicy brinjal preparation, where brinjals are stuffed with ground peanuts and sesame seeds), kaalu (pulses cooked with spices), and lentil curry with greens (dill was the main green used in this dish). Buttermilk, curd (unflavoured yoghurt), pickle and aplam (papad or pappadum) are a integral part of a South Indian meal and are always served.
I went through my meal quickly and tried to catch the attention of the manager to chat about the meal, but lunch times when the restaurant is possibly the busiest is the worst time to do that. All I managed to get out of him was that what I had just had was a typical North Karnataka meal, and what the ladies were making were not ordinary wheat rotis but jowar or jolada roti. Jowar or sorghum is a popular crop grown in this part of India. If the staples of a typical North Karnataka meal are jowar and rice, a South Karnataka meal comprises of ragi and rice. So out of pure ignorance I had missed out on eating the most important part of the meal! Too late though, with my stomach all stuffed I had to leave trying the jolada roti for another time.
And that sounds like a lovely meal! The kind I would love to eat.
Good to see the hygeine maintained in the kitchen too. The picture which shows that the cooks have their heads covered is an indication.
I agree! Its incredible that they pay attention to these aspects, which are often overlooked otherwise.
In terms of taste I prefer the Andhra thali or the typical Tamil Nadu one, but for novelty value this ranked very high. Besides its always fun to try out something new.
Yes seeing food on a banana leaf just does it I think!
I've eaten at the big Kamat (is it Upachar?) on the highway many times but never heard of this place – must try. Where exactly is it?
Will do! This time I was just plain simple fascinated about trying a North Karnataka thali. I have lived most of my life in Madras and have love South Indian food, so was thrilled to discover something new.

I have often heard people saying that why convolutional neural networks are still poorly understood. Is it known why convolutional neural networks always end up learning increasingly sophisticated features as we go up the layers? What caused them create such a stack of features and would this also be true for other types of deep neural networks?
Actually I guess the question is a bit broad! Anyway.
What is learned in ConvNets tries to minimize the cost function to categorize the inputs correctly in classification tasks. All parameter changing and learned filters are in order to achieve the mentioned goal.
They try to reduce the cost by learning low level, sometimes meaningless, features like horizontal and vertical lines in their first layers and then stacking them to make abstract shapes, which often have meaning, in their last layers. For illustrating this fig. 1, which has been used from here, can be considered. The input is the bus and the gird shows the activations after passing the input through different filters in the first layer. As it can be seen the red frame which is the activation of a filter, which its parameters have been learned, has been activated for relatively horizontal edges. The blue frame has been activated for relatively vertical edges. It is possible that ConvNets learn unknown filters that are useful and we, as e.g. computer vision practitioners, have not discovered that they may be useful. The best part of these nets is that they try to find appropriate filters by their own and don't use our limited discovered filters. They learn filters to reduce the amount of cost function. As mentioned these filters are not necessarily known.
In deeper layers, the features learned in previous layers come together and make shapes which often have meaning. In this paper it has been discussed that these layers may have activations which are meaningful to us or the concepts which have meaning to us, as human beings, may be distributed among other activations. In fig. 2 the green frame shows the activatins of a filter in the fifth layer of a ConvNet. This filter cares about the faces. Suppose that the red one cares about hair. These have meaning. As it can be seen there are other activations that have been activated right in the position of typical faces in the input, the green frame is one of them; The blue frame is another example of these. Accordingly, abstraction of shapes can be learned by a filter or numerous filters. In other words, each concept, like face and its components, can be distributed among the filters. In cases where the concepts are distributed among different layers, if someone look at each of them, they may be sophisticated. The information is distributed among them and for understanding that information all of those filters and their activations have to be considered although they may seem so much complicated.
CNNs should not be considered as black boxes at all. Zeiler et all in this amazing paper have discussed the development of better models is reduced to trial and error if you don't have understanding of what is done inside these nets. This paper tries to visualize the feature maps in ConvNets.
ConvNets use pooling layers not only to reduce the number of parameters but also to have the capability to be insensitive to the exact position of each feature. Also the use of them enables the layers to learn different features which means first layers learn simple low level features like edges or arcs, and deeper layers learn more complicated features like eyes or eyebrows. Max Pooling e.g. tries to investigate whether a special feature exists in a special region or not. The idea of pooling layers is so useful but it is just capable to handle transition among other transformations. Although filters in different layers try to find different patterns, e.g. a rotated face is learned using different layers than a usual face, CNNs by there own do not have any layer to handle other transformations. To illustrate this suppose that you want to learn simple faces without any rotation with a minimal net. In this case your model may do that perfectly. suppose that you are asked to learn all kind of faces with arbitrary face rotation. In this case your model has to be much more bigger than the previous learned net. The reason is that there have to be filters to learn these rotations in the input. Unfortunately these are not all transformations. Your input may also be distorted too. These cases made Max Jaderberg et all angry. They composed this paper to deal with these problems in order to settle down our anger as theirs.
Finally after referring to these points, they work because they try to find patterns in the input data. They stack them to make abstract concepts by there convolution layers. They try to find out whether the input data has each of these concepts or not in there dense layers to figure out which class the input data belongs to.
ConvNets work because they exploit feature locality. They do it at different granularities, therefore being able to model hierarchically higher level features. They are translation invariant thanks to pooling units. They are not rotation-invariant per se, but they usually converge to filters that are rotated versions of the same filters, hence supporting rotated inputs.
I know of no other neural architecture that profits from feature locality in the same sense as ConvNets do.
One should never forget the other components in a typical ConvNet. The convolution filters pick out the spatial invariant features, like edges and circles. These features are quantified in a pooling layer which follows the C layer. Finally, they are fed into (usually) multiple fully connected layers (fc). Credit must be given to these fully connected layers which are nothing more than what you find in any ordinary MLP.
Convolutional neural networks work because it's a good extension from the standard deep-learning algorithm.
Given unlimited resources and money, there is no need for convolutional because the standard algorithm will also work. However, convolutional is more efficient because it reduces the number of parameters. The reduction is possible because it takes advantage of feature locality, exactly what @ncasas writes.
Is it known why convolutional neural networks always end up learning increasingly sophisticated features as we go up the layers?
This is pure mathematics. A neural network, at the end of the day, is a big mathematical function. And the deeper the network, the bigger the function it represents. And by bigger, I obviously mean high-dimensional. The features learned are more sophisticated because they are the results of more sophisticated functions.
Interestingly enough, conventional neural networks were inspired by our own, actually cat's, biology. Hubel and Wiesel conducted experiments on the visual cortex of cats, and they realized that light was perceived by stacks of optic fields. This is what inspired convolutional layer and a deeper architecture.
They are invavriant to geometrical transformations and learn features that get increasingly complicated and detailed, hence being powerful hierarchical feature extractors thanks to the convolutional layers.
They combine the extracted features and aggregate them in a non linear fashion to predict the output and therefore being robust classifiers thanks to the fully connected layers.
If you want to learn more about convnets and the different blocks building them as well as the intuitions that underly, here's a post I recently wrote on my personal blog that goes through the details.
