Nitecore® TIP 2017 is a compact USB rechargeable light with four brightness levels up to 360 lumens and a runtime of 46 hours on low. At just 0.83 oz (23.6 g), it weighs as little as a AA battery. TIP has a micro-textured reflector providing 70˚ flood illumination for outstanding night vision and a rugged, hard-anodized aluminum body. Just plug into a power bank battery to recharge and never worry about running out of power or replacing batteries again.
A multi-purpose clip allows you to attach the light to your hat bill for headlamp-like performance. Flip it around on the button side and it acts as a switch guard, protecting the buttons from being activated while in your pocket or pack. The clip also fully covers the USB port, providing protection from moisture and dust.
TIP has two buttons, Power and Mode – very simple. Hold down the Power button to turn on the light in low mode. Press the Mode button to cycle from Low>Medium>High. To turn off, press the Power button again. TIP has a memory and will turn on in the last previous mode. To enter Turbo mode, hold down the Mode button. Release to resume to the prior mode.
TIP has two different operating modes. In Daily Mode, the light shuts off automatically after 30 seconds without pressing a button. This works well for tasks that only require light for a short period time. It also prevents power loss when the light is accidentally activated or left on. If you need continuous illumination, then use Constant-On Mode. Holding down both the Power and Mode buttons at the same time will switch between the two modes. A single flash indicates Daily Mode, a double flash indicates Constant-On Mode. If the light shuts off in Daily Mode after 30 seconds, you can switch to Constant-On Mode by pressing the Power button within 3 seconds. An Advanced Temperature Regulation module regulates the output based on the ambient environment, maintaining optimal performance.
TIP has a built-in, long-lasting 500 mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery that’s much more sustainable than disposable batteries. An intelligent protective charging circuit and a Micro USB connection make it easy to recharge. Since you probably already carry a spare battery to charge your phone, there’s no need to worry about running out of power or replacing batteries, just plug into a power bank, wall charger, computer, or car (USB cable not provided). The light maintains full functionality while charging.
A special power management chip allows the charge to last up to 1 year. The buttons will flash red when the battery needs to be recharged. To see how much battery power is left, with the light turned off, hold down the Mode button for 1 sec and release. The buttons will flash 3 times if you have more than 50% power, 2 times if you’re below 50%, and 1 time if you’re below 10%. Plug it in and an indicator light lets you know when the charge is complete.
TIP has an integrated, stainless steel bar for mounting. So strong it supports up to 66 lb (30 kg) of weight. Two split rings and a clasp are also included for mounting a lanyard, connecting a micro carabiner, or attaching to a keychain.
Very bright light, to avoid eye injuries, DO NOT stare directly into the light and DO NOT shine the light directly into the eyes of others.
DO NOT use if battery is damaged to avoid fire or explosion.
Charge in or on a fire-proof surface to avoid possible injury. DO NOT charge unattended.
Charge only at temperatures between 32-113°F (0-45°C) to avoid permanent damage and possible fire or explosion during charging.
Recycle or dispose of properly according to local regulations at end of life, DO NOT dispose in fire or incinerator as battery may catch fire and explode.

A quarter of Brits (24%) have noticed their partner's unpleasant breath, with romantic dinners often being a trigger. More than two thirds (68%) of respondents identified garlic as the main culprit, with a further 17% pointing the finger at sugary snacks.
Intimate situations can cause anxiety if you are constantly worrying about your breath; Luke Thorley, Dentist, states: "I often see patients who are embarrassed by their foul breath, to the extent that it is limiting their social life and causing them to talk with hands over their mouths." CB12 can help alleviate your worries -- its special formulation targets and neutralises odour, providing protection from foul breath for up to 12 hours.

Hermeneutics is the art of interpreting. Although it began as a legal and theological methodology governing the application of civil law, canon law, and the interpretation of Scripture, it developed into a general theory of human understanding through the work of Friedrich Schleiermacher, Wilhelm Dilthey, Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Paul Ricoeur, and Jacques Derrida. Hermeneutics proved to be much bigger than theology or legal theory. The comprehension of any written text requires hermeneutics; reading a literary text is as much a hermeneutic act as interpreting law or Scripture.
Without collapsing critical thinking into relativism, hermeneutics recognizes the historicity of human understanding. Ideas are nested in historical, linguistic, and cultural horizons of meaning. A philosophical, theological, or literary problem can only be genuinely understood through a grasp of its origin. Hermeneutics is in part the practice of historical retrieval, the re-construction of the historical context of scientific and literary works. Hermeneutics does not re-construct the past for its own sake; it always seeks to understand the particular way a problem engages the present. A philosophical impulse motivates hermeneutic re-construction, a desire to engage a historically transmitted question as a genuine question, worthy of consideration in its own right. By addressing questions within ever-new horizons, hermeneutic understanding strives to break through the limitations of a particular world-view to the matter that calls to thinking.
Hermeneutics opposes the radical relativist notion that meaning cannot be trans-lingual. As the speculative grammarians of the Middle Ages recognized, all languages are rooted in a depth grammar of human meaning. This ontological grammar is not a meta-language in which everything can be said. Rather, it is the single horizon of human understanding, which makes speakers of various languages members of a human community. On the other hand, hermeneutics opposes the rationalist tendency to downplay the uniqueness of languages. Hermeneutics is not satisfied with translating the language of the other; it wants to speak with the other in the language of the other.
Hermeneutics is philosophy in the original sense of the word, the love of wisdom, the search for as comprehensive an understanding of human existence as possible.
Hermeneutics cannot happen without a level of inter-disciplinary collaboration that does not yet exist on university campuses. The theologian needs the philosopher as much as the philosopher needs the theologian; both need the literary critic. Hermeneutics is a resolute break with the specialization that has isolated academic disciplines, an effort to redress fragmentation without infringing upon any science's unique area of inquiry.
The world of business knows that the economy is global; the world of academia has been slower to recognize the global unification of research through communication technology. A university can no longer remain content within its national boundaries; it must become a center for inter-national collaboration. We only understand the other by entering their horizon. We only enter the horizon of the other by acknowledging its otherness. We must meet. We must interpret. The contemporary university must become a center for inter-cultural and intra-cultural dialogue if it is to remain relevant in the twenty first century.
On a certain level, translation is impossible. What is said in a particular language is said in a distinct form of life, a historical context of meaning. The only way to understand a text is to read it in its original language; the only way to read a language is to be familiar with its form of life. Nonetheless, as Walter Benjamin put it, we must translate. Translation is not a simple substitution of language, but a hermeneutic exercise of interpreting how a meaning can be transposed into a historical-linguistic horizon different from the one in which it originated. What emerges in the target language is not identical to the original, nor wholly different; it is a new expression of the meaning, an effect of its history (Wirkungsgeschichte).
Hermeneutics has had immense impulses from theology through the work of Roman Catholic theologians Karl Rahner, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Bernard Lonergan, Protestant theologians Friedrich Schleiermacher and Karl Barth, and Jewish theologians Franz Rosenzweig, Martin Buber, and Emmanuel Levinas. The philosophical and literary traditions of the world are intimately bound up with the practice of human religion. Understanding traditional texts is not possible without a religious context. This understanding can be independent of an individual religious commitment. Hermeneutics acknowledges that the meaning of a religious text is uniquely disclosed within the horizon of a particular faith; however, hermeneutics is equally interested in reading religious texts within the horizon of un-belief. In the hermeneutic universe, no voice is excluded from the conversation because of a faith commitment or a lack thereof. According to Hans-Georg Gadamer, our pre-judgments do not impede understanding; on the contrary, they make it possible.

After two years since moving to Humboldt, I finally had the hearing for my Disability claim that I’ve been working on since 2014 on this round, and since 2006 in total.
It’s taken so long, in part, because I did not have doctors who understood what was going on. And also the constant changing of doctors. I didn’t have a set diagnosis, but this time we do: Conversion Disorder and Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures.
With my not being physically able to remain on task due to anxiety and my body reacting in myoclonic seizure-like convulsions, the vocational specialist flat stated that there would be no jobs within the US that I could perform. So this gives me some hope that it may finally get approved after these 12 years of fighting.
I know when briefly browsing this site, my other websites, perhaps even my YouTube, it looks like I can do stuff, but when you look closer at the dates of posts, or if you could watch my trying to type this, having had three episodes of being spasmed flat to my bed for a few minutes each time, so far this post, it starts to make sense why I can’t actually do this professionally, for someone else. I can put stuff together for me, but a client or employer requires deadlines and reliability that I am not able to meet. And it’s taken me 11 days to post this.
Doesn’t even begin to describe it.
They wouldn’t try to figure out what why I was having seizures. They actually accused me of faking it, or over-exaggerating. Doctors who had never seen me before, who knew nothing of my condition, telling me the thing they didn’t know about or understand must be fake.
And it was many years of this. With many doctors, because they kept coming and going.
At one point, I had 5 appointments with 4 different doctors.
This was before the “Affordable Care Act” and after I was too old to be on my parents’ insurance, despite still being 100% dependent on them. And so I did not have insurance due to “pre-existing conditions.” My lack of insurance is possibly one reason why the CHC doctors didn’t care to try to help, along with knowing they likely wouldn’t be there long.
A few times I went in to try to get paperwork filled out to get EBT Cash Aid, but the doctors, who had never seen me before and didn’t know my condition, looked at me as said they wouldn’t sign that I was disabled. Which angered me, because I’ve lost every job I’ve undertaken since the seizures started as a result of the seizures preventing me from being able to work, and so I’d end up in seizures. They’d panic and call 911, take away my driver’s license, but still refuse to sign for me to get Assistance. After watching me convulsing on the floor for half an hour.
One of these doctors was so bad (Raj), that when he left, the rest of the staff actually threw a party in relief of him leaving.
When I would finally get a doctor that would listen, and did stick around for more than one or two appointments, they completely agreed that I was disabled. Although, at those times, I had financial support from my parents and grandmother, and so I had too much money to qualify for Cash Aid, which was less than what I needed at the time in order to attend school, eat, etc, and so I could not qualify for Cash Aid.
I did have two or three doctors at the CHC over the years that did listen and were supportive of my seizures being a hindrance to my ability to work.

At present, the level of intelligent management of parking management is low, and most of them have become a major obstacle to the development of urban traffic. The research and design on parking management system based on Internet of Things Technology is to solve the problem of low efficiency of parking management. It is proposed a parking space management system consisting of modules, such as online parking query and scheduled, accessible access parking lot, indoor parking induction, reverse search vehicle and back-end cloud management platform, Internet of things related hardware equipment and other modules. The modules are interrelated, the bottom layer obtains the data, the application layer analyzes and feedbacks to users. With those model formed together constitute the wisdom of intelligent parking management. The test results show that this system can overcome the shortcomings of manual management inefficiency, with stable operation, accurate detection of automatic identification of vehicles, to enhance the management level to achieve intelligent parking management to meet the auto management needs. And it will have a good application prospects.

Here is another easy recipe combining cornflakes and chocolate chips together, and is similar with my popular cornflakes cookies that I shared on my blog a few years ago. These cornflake chocolate chip cookies are deliciously crunchy and crispy once baked. Kids will definitely love these cookies thanks to the sweetness of the chocolate chips. A great idea for the Chinese New Year, which is just around the corner.
Beat butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Gradually add beaten egg and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
Sift in flour and baking powder and stir until combined. Add the cornflakes and chocolate chips, stir to combine with a rubber spatula.
Shape the cookie dough using a dessert spoon then using a butter knife to push the mixture down onto the baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven for about 15 minutes or golden brown. Then cool the cookies completely on wire rack before storing into an airtight container.
I just make a batch n it yield like 38 pcs using teaspoon to spoon the mixture onto the tray. May I know how u yield 75?
Hi Chew Mi, Sorry that was a typo error. you’re right, it yield about 40 pieces.
And i dont hv plain flour.can i use cake flour to replace?
Hi Lee, Yes, you can use cake flour and bake in the middle rack of the oven.
thank you for your replied.may i know how long i can keep this cookies?
It can be stored for 3 weeks if it is properly baked and stored.

On one hand, reactive programming techniques do make life easier. Instead of worrying about bi-directional data flow and trying to determine what updated what, reactive data flows in one direction. Developers will say this makes their code "easier to reason about". I can say first hand that there's truth to this. But that's not the whole story.
The SAM Pattern: Lessons Learned Building Functional Reactive Front-End Architectures - Modern User Experience requires an architecture that is able to continuously "react" not just to user inputs, but also to its broader environment.

Are Mario Marengo's Glass working with Houdini 10?
I was testing the Glass and does not look like it still working.
That thing is now ancient, and I wouldn't at all be surprised if it failed in all sorts of spectacular ways with H10 (particularly with PBR).
I would recommend using the built-in glass material if possible. Unless you're looking for some of the more esoteric features, I believe the bundled material does all the basic glassy things, no?
Unfortunately the attenuation doesn't work under PBR with the shipped Glass shader, although it did receive some love for H10. For this you might have to use this shader. I hope SESI make their glass shader do this, sometime.
What makes you think they're not physically correct? Many of the shader are pretty close to being physically correct, if you think of them as emulations of measured empirical data. The only step missing from this solution might be that you're not using a library of measured materials, and the modeling of certain components like SubSurface transmittance and such.
The whole idea behind PBR is the asking the renderer to come up with an accurate distribution based of illumination based on these models, which are based on physical empirical data. Mantra does this in RGB color space. There is a huge advantage to allowing the PBR engine to solve illumination for you. If you've written traditional shaders you'll very quickly find out where you might be grossly undersampling or oversampling your scene, continually seeking a balance between occlusion, reflection occlusion, diffuse environment, reflection, etc, ugh. Defining the BSDF to Mantra and allowing it to solve your illumination without you strong-arming it will result in overall faster and more accurate solves, if Mantra is doing the job right.
If you're thinking that "physically correct" means that you should see spectral dispersion, you should realize that this is an immensely deep topic where Mantra would have to define colors in spectral color space (there is a 6-channel definition Mario uses, versus 3-channel RGB) and run the (more complex) math with that, and yielding a big slow down due the extra computations and conversions.
Man, I'd just like to be able to render at the speed of light!
i understand what you are saying, i didn't or don't want to sound like i don't appreciate what PBR does, i fact i'm the only one in our office that is constantly "playing" with it!
one of my goals in cg is to make photo-real renders, now without having a shader writer at hand, i do feel that i'm not getting the results i would like. yes i know physically correct is much slower, but it's much prettier:), also with the speed-ups in cpu's and multi-cores these renderers are becoming faster!
I think I'm still confused by this statement:) Mantra PBR is physically correct. It just doesn't do spectral math at it's core -- which is just more physically correct.
well that's pretty much what i mean:), "more physically correct" = "physically correct" in my books!
Out of curiosity, and somewhat related, has anyone (Jason?, Anamous? ) had the time to seriously dissect pbr.h and play with all the new VEX-side engine-related functions?
Too busy doing shots to try it myself so far, but after a brief look, it seems like we could do quite a bit of PBR damage using the new toolset (I'm thinking for dispersion and attenuation).
I've run across a few places where more physical effects such as dispersion would make sense. Love it!
Sounds like a great plan (irradiance from pointclouds ought to be a standard with low-level support at this point IMHO -- an obvious and current application being emission from incandescent gases as in pyro).
Please let us know how the experiments turn out!
In fact the glass shader is really good!!! As you guys said... don't have a proper absortion, only a tint. But, as you can see, it does the work.
Is so bad that Mario's Glass does not work anymore. That was awsome!!!

I've been writing a newspaper column on language matters. Last week was the start of its ninth year, and in it I was playing with expressions which have a NINE in them. Is it just = "a lot of" or is there a dance of threes, or any more of the sort of thing which abounds in Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, that delightful junk-shop of the mind?
Along came Longfellow's poem, as if by more than chance. I disliked the implication of regularity in "ninth wave". It suits the regularity of the Faerie Queene stanza, though, where every last or ninth line is a hexameter, so that the image of a larger one washing over the traces of the previous eight fits it beautifully. The ninth lines usually attempt to summarise or cap or in some other way give a final and superseding force to the longer line. In PL, by contrast, the lines are not felt as individual lines as much as in Spenser, and there is nothing special about the number nine. Or seven. Or ten, or any other number ascribed to larger than normal waves. I was more struck by the nuance of recurrence or homogenizing in Longfellow's slightly cosy image. By contrast, Milton's periods find their own right length — more, not less, like the waves of the sea. See his Note on the Verse.
Another way to express the sea's motion is Shakespeare's in Florizel's comparison of Perdita to a wave, dancing and irregular. Or the orchestral passages from Peter Grimes, little cross-eddies inside  the larger flow of the tide. So I think better of Milton's verse and of the sea than I feel Longfellow does.
Now bury me under brickbats, please.

"Evidently it is an old story."
Yes.  Celtic lore describes the ninth wave as the border between this world and the Blessed Isles.
Who stoopt and caught the babe, and cried "The King!
It is always the ninth wave -- not the seventh.
Different John here, but Spenser and his alexandrine seems to be the association.
As a child swimming in oceans and Lake Michigan, with no thought of epic poets, we cultivated the legend of the special powers of the ninth wave, though some learned it as the seventh wave.  Evidently it is an old story.
As for Longfellow's poem, I'm curious if he had specific poems and poets in mind for waves 1-8.  If so, Homer to begin, Spencer near the end.
Why do you say that, John?  I have never thought of Spenser in terms of movement such as a wave suggests--build up, spread, aftermath--but rather in terms of static if beautiful tableau.  It seems to me that Spenser spends half a stanza moving to the next scene and then 7-9 stanzas describing it.
Or are you saying that your own mind feels more engulfed while reading Spenser than while reading Milton?
Or are you saying that Spenser's cadences are more majestic and undulating?
By the way, I have seen this poem before, but I never noticed the "sheeted emerald" before.  Nice! Thanks, Bob Blair.
The ninth wave fits Spenser better.

Here’s what you need to know about making the most out of the simplest and least expensive weapon in your workout arsenal—the training log.
As far as training aids go, journaling your workouts is as low-tech (if you want it to be, naturally) and cheap as it gets.
Unlike spending $80 for a half-empty container of your favorite toilet-shattering supplement that lasts three weeks, a training log will spare you the GI issues, as well as give you a powerful foundation of accountability and consistency in the gym.
And at the end of the day, it’s that consistent application of effort in your workouts that yields the results we so desperately want.
1. Record your workouts promptly.
Look, we love to think that our memory is perfect. That we remember everything exactly as it was. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but the wet noodle between our ears isn’t perfect.
If you are serious about crushing your plateaus and insuring an accurate workout history ya need to record the sets, reps and weights immediately post-workout.
You can be the lifter who writes out weights and sets during their workout as well, or you can wait until you get home. Do whatever you know will give you the most accurate record of results, and forego the “Did I do 225 last week, or was it 235?” facial expression that is all too prevalent at the gym.
2. Go beyond the workout you did.
For me, sitting down with my log book when I get home is my ritual. It’s equally therapeutic and record-keeping. For a few minutes I go over the workout, reflect on what went right, what did not, and jot down any relevant notes.
It gives me an opportunity to put my workout in the greater context of my week of training, while also giving me a chance to evaluate the week-to-date.
3. Use it to plan your next workout.
When I am writing out the day’s workout I already have an eye toward tomorrow. Why? Because planning tomorrow’s workout today allows you to be a little more ambitious.
4. Use it to manage the important stuff.
Going through my workout history I have noticed very consistent habits and patterns with how things outside of the gym affect my performance on the bench.
Sleep, in particular, is the most striking. It’s why Mondays are always a great pair of workouts (Sunday is a designated sleep-in day unless there is football on), and why on nights where I toss and turn I end up having a high rate of perceived effort session the following day.
Nutrition is another. Use your logbook to plan and meal prep, or use it as as an actual food journal (the benefits of which are laughably powerful).
Your training log gives you an opportunity to manage these things, so use it to do so.
5. Share it with your coach or trainer.
If you are working with a coach or trainer sitting down with them periodically and flipping through your training log is a powerful way of evaluating the effectiveness of your training program.
There will be insights in the notes (and lifestyle stuff that might not always show up in the gym) that will help them better program your training.
While your coach is an expert, they aren’t mind-readers—the more they can understand the way you respond to training the better positioned they are to help you get the most from your workouts.
6. Use it in a way to maximize results for yourself.
In my years training I have never seen two log books that were identical in style. Some athletes prefer to write out a two-page dissertation following each workout documenting how they felt, aches and pains, stress levels, technical thoughts, and so on. While others write the date, the sets, the reps, and abbreviate the exercises, and that is absolutely it.
What works for me might not work for you, and vice versa. Find a style of training log that you can be consistent with and roll with it. Your workout log is your tool–no one else’s.
7. Use it for progression.
Seems overly obvious, but to get stronger, faster, better-looking the goal is progression. Whether it’s a heavier weight, more reps, more speed, throwing add-ons like bands and chains onto the bar, or whatever, your training log is the home for recording it.
Going into the gym and doing the same thing, for the same amount of reps, at the same weight over and over again not only yields little in terms of growth, but it is profoundly tedious and boring.
Progression provides unstoppable workout motivation, it keeps you looking forward to the gym, and gives a revolving set of goals that keeps you mentally engaged long after that first wave of inspiration has passed you by.

Although a good brushing practice and flossing help remove food particles and plaque from smooth surfaces of teeth, the toothbrush bristles cannot reach all the way into the depressions and grooves to extract food and plaque. Sealants protect these vulnerable areas by keeping out plaque and food.
A dental sealant (also called a pit and fissure sealant) is a plastic material that is usually applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth—premolars and molars. Sealants provide a physical barrier so that cavity-causing bacteria cannot invade the pits and fissures on the chewing surfaces of teeth.
Sealants are easy to apply to your teeth.
The potential to develop pit and fissure decay begins early in life, so children and teenagers are obvious candidates. But some adults at high risk of decay can benefit from sealants as well. Dr. J.D. Robinette can tell you if you would benefit from dental sealants. Schedule an appointment at our Hickory, NC office to learn more.

Childhood obesity is an epidemic in the United States. More than 3-million children are overweight for their age and height. Obesity can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. If not addressed, children can have significant health issues throughout their childhood and adulthood.
Dr. Jason Fraser is a pediatric surgeon and performs bariatric surgery at Children’s Mercy. He also serves on the American Pediatric Surgical Association Pediatric Obesity Committee.
Recently, we spoke with Dr. Fraser about the type of surgery he performs, misconceptions about obesity and his advice to parents before considering surgery for their children.
What type of procedures are available for children, and what are the benefits and drawbacks of each?
Dr. Fraser: There are a couple different options: the most common are the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and the laparoscopic gastric bypass. In the sleeve gastrectomy, a good portion of the stomach is removed and this limits the amount of food that can be taken in. In the gastric bypass, a small pouch of stomach is made which is then re-routed to a section of small intestine. This procedure limits the amount of food able to be taken in and also limits the absorption of the food.
We perform the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at Children’s Mercy. The advantage of the surgery is that it’s minimally-invasive (laparoscopic) and only a few small incisions are made. We use a small camera and special tools to remove a large portion of the stomach, including the part that produces the hunger-inducing hormone ghrelin. That way, when the child eats, they feel full sooner.
The biggest drawback to the sleeve is that most of the stomach is gone, but this procedure doesn’t require the anatomy to be rerouted like it does in gastric bypass.
In a gastric bypass procedure, the surgeon will leave a small pouch of stomach and reroute the lower part of the intestine to the stomach. This procedure limits the amount a food a person can take in and decreases the amount the body can absorb. The biggest long-term risk with bypass is nutrition deficiencies. Because the intestine is rerouted, the patient will need lifelong replacement of vitamins and nutrients.
While both surgeries are very safe, it is felt the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is easier on the developing adolescent body and you do not see the nutritional deficiencies seen in the bypass.
What is the minimum age for surgery and are there other requirements?
Dr. Fraser: We do have a certain criteria to determine if surgery is the best option for a child. Our target demographic is adolescents, ages 10 or older. However, we would consider younger children if there were specific circumstances.
Bariatric surgery patients need to have a body mass index of at least 40 (or above 35 if other medical conditions like type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, fatty liver disease or others are present). They also need to have a stable and supportive home situation because they will need help after the operation.
When a patient meets those criteria they have to participate in six months of supervised medical weight loss. We want to make sure they’re committed to the program and doing what they need to do, because it’s a significant undertaking before and after the operation. Making a change to living a healthy lifestyle before surgery and continuing it after surgery is a big part of being successful. We also want to make sure there are no other medical issues that need to be addressed before an operation and to give them a chance to lose weight without an operation.
The child will meet with a dietician to identify what they’re eating and how they’re eating. They’ll keep a journal of their food and start to transition to how they’ll be eating after the surgery, since the diet will significantly change.
Each child will receive a psychological evaluation to better understand his or her specific needs in the lifestyle change process. The child and family will also regularly meet with a psychologist and/or social worker and exercise physiologist as part of their medical appointments to help implement change.
Everything we do pre-op is getting the patient ready for post-op and the life they’re going to have after surgery.
Why is this multidisciplinary approach important?
Dr. Fraser: The biggest benefit to having our medical and surgical weight loss teams work together in one location is that it provides patients with comprehensive care. Having open communication improves patient access and facilitates patient care. We talk on an almost daily basis about our patients and we’re all working toward the same patient-centered goal.
Some critics say that obesity is a lifestyle issue, and adolescents should lose weight by exercising and changing their diet vs. having the surgery. What do you tell those critics?
Dr. Fraser: Obesity is much more than just a lifestyle issue and to try to distill it down to this is unfair. I tell the critics, yes, you can try and change the lifestyle of these children, and even with this operation they’ll still have to change their lifestyle. This is why prior to an operation there is the required supervised medical weight loss period. But things can gets to a point when lifestyle changes alone are not enough.
Sometimes even when the child eats healthy and loses weight it’s not significant enough to impact the child’s overall health. Then the safest and best thing for them is an operation.
When you have a patient who has severe obesity they’re at risk for having the secondary effects like high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, fatty liver disease and an increased risk of heart disease.
Obesity is disease, like cancer. Sometimes you treat cancer with only chemotherapy and that works, but a lot of people will also need surgery. Left untreated, the cancer will shorten their lives. To deny a proven operation or proven treatment will actually cause them more harm. The same is for obesity, why would we deny these children potentially a life-saving procedure?
What do you tell people who think having surgery is “the easy way” out?
Dr. Fraser: It’s not an easy way out. You have to have tremendous commitment before and after the operation. It’s a complete lifestyle change in what you’re eating, how you’re drinking and how you’re exercising.
There’s a lot of bias out there and misconception that children with obesity are not trying hard enough. However, for many patients they’re eating the right things and exercising, but they just can’t get to the point where they need to be.
As a health care industry, we need to help shift this way of thinking and bias, and give people the education to really understand this epidemic. This is not just a social problem that will take care of itself. To think that way is short-sighted. The more we talk about obesity and how it’s a medical issue, the more people will begin to understand it.
The bottom line is that if you have a patient with significant overweight at 12, then there is a good chance you are going to have a patient with significant overweight well into adulthood and have complications related to their weight.
What advice do you have for parents considering surgery for their child?
Dr. Fraser: The biggest thing I’d say is do your research, talk to your pediatrician and talk to your child. Be open and honest with them and find out what they want. Also, consider talking to a surgeon. Find one that will support your child and your family throughout the entire process.
Bariatric surgery is a safe and successful operation. It doesn’t mean that the patient has failed. It doesn’t mean the parents have failed. It doesn’t mean the provider has failed. It is an established treatment options for patients who need it and can really be a big benefit for them.
Surgery helps decrease complications that come with having obesity, and improves the quality and length of life.

Runners up just over one year ago when the tournament was staged in Melbourne; the host nation’s Jian Fang Lay and Miao Miao made a successful start in their quest to repeat or even better the feat, on the morning of Tuesday 4th July at the Seamaster 2017 ITTF World Tour Platinum Australia Open in Gold Coast.
The no.8 seeds, in the opening round of the Women’s Doubles event, they accounted for Chinese Taipei’s Cheng Hsien-Tzu and Liu Yu-Hsin in three straight games (11-9, 11-8, 11-8).
However, they were to prove the only pair from the host nation to survive the opening round.
Michelle Bromley and Melissa Tapper experienced defeat at the hands of Korea’s Choi Hyojoo and Jung Yumi, the no.7 seeds (11-4, 11-7, 11-4); in a somewhat closer contest Pang Kai and Fiona Zhu experienced defeat at the hands of Singapore’s Lin Ye and Zhou Yihan, the no.5 seeds (13-11, 11-6, 9-11, 9-11, 11-4).
Success for seeded pairing, such was the situation in the majority of opening round Women’s Doubles contests; the exceptions to the rule being the walk-over gained by India’s Sutirtha Mukherjee and Pooja Sahasrabudhe over Chinese Taipei’s Chen Szu-Yu and Cheng I-Ching in addition to the success recorded by China’s Chen Xingtong and Wang Manyu.
Impressively, Chen Xingtong and Wang Manyu accounted for Japan’s Yui Hamamoto and Kasumi Ishikawa, the no.6 seeds (17-15, 11-8, 11-8).
Meanwhile, in the remaining opening round Women’s Singles contests it was success for the seeded combinations.
Japan’s Hina Hayata and Mima Ito, the no.2 seeds, beat India’s Manika Batra and Madhurika Patkar (11-8, 11-13, 11-3, 11-8); Singapore’s Feng Tianwei and Yu Mengyu, the no.4 seeds, ended the hopes of the combination formed by Charlotte Carey of Wales and Switzerland’s Céline Reust (11-4, 11-2, 11-6).
In the round of the last eight pairs, China Chen Meng and Zhu Yuling, the top seeds and not required to compete in the opening round, meet Choi Hyojoo and Jung Yumi; Jian Fang Lay and Miao Miao oppose Sutirtha Mukherjee and Pooja Sahasrabudhe.
In the opposite half of the draw, Feng Tianwei and Yu Mengyu confront Chen Xingtong and Wang Manyu; Hina Hayata and Mima Ito face Lin Ye and Zhou Yihan.
The quarter-final and semi-final matches in the Women’s Doubles event will be played on Wednesday 5th July.

Rhian (Angel Locsin) is still moved with sympathy for Romer Peralta aka Regie Domingo and his pregnant wife, who were killed the night before. Rhian tried her best to save them but just found their lifeless bodies when she arrived in the area.
Rhian comes home and confronts Tiyago (Tirso Cruz III), believing that the murder is ordered by her father. Tiyago acts innocent and denies Rhian’s allegations. He twists the truth by making the military appear as the villains once again, saying that the victims are under the custody of the troops when the incident happened. He also tugs at Rhian’s conscience and accuses her of not trusting him. Rhian easily buys Tiyago’s alibi and story.
Rhian reports at the camp with overflowing emotions. General Marcial de Leon (Albert Martinez) is doing his rounds when he sees Rhian crying in a corner. He comes near her and hands over a handkerchief.
Rhian accepts Marcial’s offer of comfort and narrates that she can’t help but share her grief for Regie and his wife. She wonders why such thing happens.
Marcial expresses her regret and sadness as well, saying he doesn’t believe in putting an innocent person to death either. He recalls the pain of losing his parents at an early age. Marcial adds that he decided to become a soldier to spare other people from that kind of despair.
Rhian agrees, stating that losing a loved one is already painful but injustice adds more agony. After consoling Rhian, Marcial bids good bye and leaves her behind.
Despite the sincerity in Marcial’s words and face, Rhian still choses to believe her father Tiyago. She still grasps unto Tiyago’s claims, that the military killed Regie and his wife –igniting more fire to Rhian’s anger towards Marcial.

In the UP mid-term Assembly election, held in February 1969 after a year’s time of President’s Rule, Charan Singh’s BKD increases its strength significantly from 17 members of the break-away Jan Congress to 98. These seats were won partially at the expense of his previous SVD coalition partners especially the Jan Sangh, which was reduced by half from 98 seats to 49, but also for the SSP, whose wins came down from 44 to 33 1 which explains the continued tensions with the Jana Sangh into the future specially during the Janata Party regime. All this was done without organized funding or an organization structure in the BKD worth the name, and these characteristics were a part of all of Charan Singh’s subsequent political parties. He would not seek funds from wealthy merchants or industrialists, and depended instead only on collections in public meetings.
Jana Sangh realizes his existentialist threat to their political base, and they remain at various times in close combat and in cooperation till 1985.

Discussion in 'iPhone' started by boredoftheworld, Sep 26, 2015.
My wife set up her hey siri on her 6s, so did my mother-in-law and two daughters but I can't get mine to set up on my 6s+. I say "hey siri" at the prompt and it just sits there awaiting input until it says "Sorry, siri didn't get that..." I'm running beta2 if it helps, anyone have anything similar happening?
Are you covering the mic?
No, I can see the feedback showing my voice, my wife set her's up in the living room with the TV on and the children blabbing, I went into a quiet room and can't get step 1 to complete.
So weird. Hard-restart then try again?
I think I finally fixed it, I was also seeing some greyed out songs in my music folder, I reset it to factory settings then restored from the cloud, most of my stuff is back and hey siri set right up.

I’ve probably written the digital equivalent of a novel on packing. But even armed with a near obsessive mental library of tips, hacks, and destination lists, I still found myself, 12 hours before a flight last December, scrambling to get everything in my backpack for a trip to Mexico.
Meaning: I needed a set of clothes I could quickly choose from whenever I was about to take a trip. They needed to be easy to mix and match, layer, and have options for any destination. In other words, I needed to build a travel capsule wardrobe.
What’s a travel capsule wardrobe?
A minimalist trend that began in the ‘70s, a capsule wardrobe is a wardrobe comprised of a limited number of clothes and shoes, refreshed at the beginning of each season. It’s the antithesis of fast fashion, relying on quality staples you can wear year after year, rather than having to frequently buy new clothes that quickly go out of date.
It has other perks too. By carefully selecting clothes as a set, it makes it quicker to choose outfits you always look good in. And by focusing on quality, timeless pieces, it’s meant to reduce the amount of time and money spent on fashion (a core principle some capsule wardrobes have gotten away from).
Since the trend began transforming closets, it’s been adapted for our suitcases as well. Similar to the original idea, a travel capsule wardrobe is an even more pared-down version of the original. It’s meant to make packing quicker and easier, since you’ll always have a set of trusty items you can reach for. At the same time, it helps travelers be more prepared and pack well.
Choose 10 items or less: Limit your travel wardrobe, including shoes, to 10 items or less (more on that in a minute).
Focus on quality. Choose timeless, quality pieces that don’t go out of style and work for most situations. For travel, you’ll want to focus on durable, quality fabrics as well.
Choose a color palette. Center everything around a color (blues, blacks, greens, greys) with one or two statement pieces to add personality to your travel closet.
Build two wardrobes: one for cold-weather travel, and one for warm-weather. They don’t have to be completely different (you might, for example, still use the same t-shirts) but you will swap out a few items.
Limit your accessories, PJs, and workout clothes. Capsule wardrobes allow you to have as many accessories, PJs, and workout clothes as you’d like, but not the travel version. Aim for one set of PJs, one set of workout clothes, and a small number of accessories. One scarf, one hat, and three pieces of jewelry is a good number to aim for.
As long as you stick within the 10-item rule, you can adjust the specifics according to your needs or trip. For example, I might pack a skirt instead of a dress on a warm-weather trip. Or, for cold destinations, I’d pack 2 tops and 2 sweaters, instead of 3 tops and 1 sweater.
To help you get a sense of what a women’s travel capsule wardrobe would look like IRL, I’ll next cover four different example wardrobes – a warm and cold weather wardrobe for travelers on a budget, and the same for a more premium wardrobe – and clothing recommendations. Then, we’ll dive into brands to look at when building your own wardrobe.
And if you’re keen on men’s brands make sure check out Mike’s ‘Best Clothes for a Men’s Capsule Wardrobe’ article here.
For warm weather travel capsule wardrobes, focus on pieces that are breathable and sweat-wicking. In terms of style, opt for pieces simple enough to work just as well for a night out as they would on the beach or trail. You’ll also want to include a layer or two for chilly plane rides, unexpectedly cold evenings, and rain. For shoes, go for a pair of comfortable sneakers and sandals — or swap one out for flats if you want to look a little dressier.
When building a travel capsule wardrobe for cold weather trips, you can reuse a few of the items from your warm weather capsule. But, of course, you’ll need to swap in some warmer layers, a heavier jacket, and shoes that can stand up to long walks in the snow (not the beach).
Especially for winter wear, spending a little more will get you pieces that (usually) hold up better to the environment and last longer. It also means you can tap into some very stylish, technical outerwear brands like Alchemy Equipment and Betabrand, who offer options outside of your standard puffy jacket for cold weather travel.
Style is so personal and every woman’s travel capsule wardrobe will look a little different. And while the above examples hopefully gave you some inspiration and help in visualizing a woman’s travel capsule wardrobe, you probably won’t use our exact recommendations.
It’s no secret that TOMS slip-on sneakers are great for travel. Comfortable, small to pack, and affordable, their classic sneaker will keep your feet happy as you wander new destinations. Plus, it’s more fashionable than your typical sneaker, and doesn’t scream tourist (the only downside is that they lack arch support).
For business trips or travel where you need to look fancier than normal, they also have flats and low boots that are just as comfortable as their sneakers. Plus, with dozens of patterns to choose from, it’s an easy way to add a little color or flair to an otherwise basic outfit.
When I did Peace Corps, everyone I knew was obsessed with their Teva sandals – and it’s easy to see why. They’re sturdy, comfortable enough to hike in, pack down easily, and are simple in design. True, they’re not the most fashionable – though they are making a comeback – but they are one of the best-looking functional sandals out there.
Also, if you’re a Peace Corps volunteer or student, you can get an additional discount (students get 10%, and “Pros” get 40%).
If you haven’t heard of Rothy’s yet, watch out. They may be taking over a city near you soon with their recycled, “just as comfortable as sneakers” flats and loafers. While on the pricier side, they live up to expectation in terms of comfort and quality. For travel, grab a pair in a basic color or opt for one of their more vibrant styles (bright yellow, anyone?) to make a statement.
How could you not love a shoe brand with the tagline, “inspired by our travels, made for yours”? Clearly, wanderlust-inspired shoe brand Soludos knows a thing or three about the kind of footwear our travel adventures require. Both comfortable and cute, Soludos’ sandals, mules, loafers, boots, and sneakers beautifully strike the balance between function and fashion. Just be sure to break ‘em in before your adventure.
Like Teva, Sorel’s boots tend to lean more functional than fashionable – though they have some basic styles, like their low-heeled Chelsea boot, with a more street wear aesthetic. But when it comes to function, their sturdy, water and weatherproof boots are hard to beat. Their shoes will be your secret to spending a full day adventuring in even the shittiest winter weather. If you can afford the $100+ price tag, they’ll be a much-loved addition to your cold weather capsule.
Both fashionable and functional, Western Rise’s clothing sits between outdoor wear and streetwear. “We believe the outdoors starts right when you leave your house,” says co-founder Kelly Watters, and their clothes reflect that.
Their women’s tees and tanks are stylish enough for everyday wear (sans athleisure aesthetic), but have the performance of active wear. Same goes for their AT Slim Rivet pants (noted as the best women’s travel pants by Carry HQ). These slim-fitting pants are made of a breathable, water-resistant fabric, and, unlike any other pants you own, are equally ready for biking through a quick rain drizzle and a day at the office. They’re a great option if you can only pack one pair of pants.
Breathable in hot weather, but insulating in warm, merino wool layers are versatile and an ideal fabric for travel clothes. They’re also comfortable, soft, and don’t get smelly as quickly as synthetics or cotton – meaning you can go longer between washes.
For quality wool tees, tanks, and long-sleeves, Seattle-based Woolly is a wonderful brand to stock up on all things merino wool, especially if you’re on a budget. Compared to most other merino wool brands, they’re more affordable but don’t shirk on quality or performance.
Every item from technical clothing brand ADAY fits beautifully within a travel capsule wardrobe. Well-made, functional, and modern in design, they work for any season and situation. Personally, I live in their Crop & Roll leggings, whose shiny fabric makes them look more fashion-forward than your standard leggings and comes with a generous-sized side pocket.
Further, the fabric on all of their items is breathable, soft, and impossible to wrinkle. After many wears and washes over the past 6 months, both the leggings and their futuristic-looking Like a Boss sweatshirt have held their shape and color, making it worth the investment.
If you’ve ever tried to bike in super stiff denim, you know it doesn’t usually work out. DUER, however, has set out to solve this problem by giving us denim jeans and shorts that are more than a sturdy pair of good-looking pants. They’re actually comfortable enough to bike, walk, or run around town in. Which, obviously, is good news if you’re only able to bring one pair of travel jeans.
Quirky, San Francisco-based Betabrand first hit the scenes with their “yoga work pants”. Exactly what you’d think, they’re pants that look like work pants but feel like yoga pants — every office worker’s dream, right?
But in addition to giving office workers of the world pants they can do lotus pose in (perhaps in one of those ergonomic swivel chairs), Betabrand has designed some pretty cool jackets, dresses, and tops that work wonderfully for travel as well. What’s more, their designs tend to be more eccentric and colorful than some of the others on this list, making it a good place to find a statement piece for your collection that also stands up to the rigours of globetrotting.
There’s a lot of love for Everlane, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this brand of affordable and timeless apparel is already on your radar for closet staples. But perhaps less often talked about is how great their clothing, and specifically their Japanese Go-weave collection, is for travel.
The dresses and tops in this collection are made from a comfortable and wrinkle-resistant fabric that won’t get messed up in your luggage. The styles, like most of Everlane’s clothing, are simple and easy to dress up or down, giving them the versatility you need for one-bag travel.
Although prAna sometimes gets pigeonholed as a yoga brand, they’re much more than that. Their line of versatile, comfortable, and sustainably made clothing is meant for any adventure – whether it’s travel or yoga, rock climbing or beach lounging.
With a focus on classic designs made from fabrics that can stand the rigours of any activity or adventure, prAna’s line of clothing has that fashion-function balance we want in travel clothes. When building a travel capsule wardrobe, they’re one of the better brands to look at for travel dresses, fashionable outerwear, and quality, sub-$100 leggings.
For a long time, outdoor and athleisure brands picked up the slack when women didn’t have a ton of options for travel clothing. But even with the influx of brands like ADAY and Everlane, sometimes mainstay outdoor brands like Columbia are still the best brand for the job.
This is especially true when it comes to warm down-jackets that are easy to pack down for cold-weather travel, or lightweight layers to block wind and rain in warm climates. With 80 years of experience creating outdoor apparel, Columbia knows how to make a damn good jacket. Plus, compared to other outdoor brands, Columbia can often be more affordable for budget travelers.
Like Columbia, Patagonia is an outdoor clothing brand but also a tried and trusted source for quality outerwear and clothes that can withstand the elements. From their ultra-lightweight Micro Puffs to waterproof rain shells, you can trust that Patagonia has you covered. Additionally, they have a standout collection of sweaters and sweatshirts, fleeces, and everyday tops–many of which have a vintage Californian aesthetic that pays homage to their Ventura roots.
Further, Patagonia has a strong commitment to sustainability, community, and their employees (my Ventura-raised dad always tells stories of Patagonia closing shop “because the surf was great and they wanted to let their employees get out and ride”) so you can always feel good buying from them.
Whatever stereotypes you have of lululemon and their almost cult-like following, you have to admit: their clothes are well made. As an athletics brand, breathability, four-way stretch, sweat-wicking fabrics, and comfort are the core of every design. Style-wise, lululemon leans more towards athleisure than athletic, and their designs are stylish enough that you’d actually want to wear them in an everyday scenario.
For travel, they’re one of my go-to brands for cute jackets and (of course) a basic pair of leggings. And if you’re wondering if their yoga pants are worth the price point: yes, they are. I’ve worn mine at least once a week for the past three years, and brought them on countless trips. They’re only finally beginning to show signs of wear. All that lulu-love is well earned.
Japanese brand Muji has received acclaim for their affordable travel pillows, eye masks, and travel slippers, but did you know they also make clothing? Although not specifically designed for travel, their clothing line is almost entirely basic, essential items you can pair with anything. In other words, perfect for a travel capsule wardrobe. When colder weather rolls around, keep an eye out for their affordable but well-made wool sweaters.
Uniqlo is like a godsend for merino-wool aficionados and down-jacket lovers on a budget. Like many of the other brands on this list, the Japanese brand Uniqlo creates fashionable streetwear essentials with technical fabrics – but at a much lower price point.
Compared to a more expensive brand, Uniqlo’s clothing will wear down faster (for example, my Uniqlo heattech leggings stretched out after six months, but my Patagonia ones lasted five years) but overall, their clothing – and their down jackets in particular – are surprisingly good considering the price point.
Will you try a travel capsule wardrobe?
Whether you currently travel with one bag or are trying to downsize, a thoughtful travel capsule wardrobe can help you travel with less while always having what you need. So let us know, will you try it? And if you’ve already attempted travel with a capsule wardrobe, what have your experiences been?

With over 1,600 students enrolled, this module is the first of five on how to build robots. In this module 1 course, you will build electronic circuits, actually make some electronic components from scratch, learn about electricity, soldering skills, and basic analog electronics. You’ll need some basic math skills and that’s it! No prior knowledge of electricity of electronics is required, and yet by the end of this course you’ll have built functioning electronic circuits like light flashers, sound effects, and controlling the roboticist’s best friend, the servo motor which is a motor that turns to a specific direction at your command. All courses have closed captions for the hearing impaired.
I’ve been an instructor in science and technology for 30 years. I got my start teaching at a science camp when I was 16. At the time, it was the only camp of its kind in the world. Many of the programs were developed by myself personally as I was the right-hand man of the owners, working there 21 of the 23 years it ran before the owners retired. I also taught technology at the high school level for 10 years. I am a graduate of robotics engineering from Canadore College, North Bay, Ontario, though my interests have gone far beyond robotics, having written multiple scientific papers, published in peer reviewed journals and a book, wrote a book on video production, and am currently a railroader, working for Canadian National Railroad in Ontario. I produced a video series on how to read Canadian railroad signals which is now being used in conductor courses to instruct the students on how to read the signals. I traveled on the road for ten years with a traveling museum I collected and constructed, speaking on the creation/evolution debate and have produced and hosted a television show on the topic for five years now.

Why Adrianna loves this recipe: I love this recipe because it is easy as they come, vegetarian-friendly and colorful! When making the recipes for A Cozy Coloring Cookbook, I wanted to create simple recipes that were equally as fun to color. The pops of orange from the squash, deep, olive-like green from the sage and bright pink from the pomegranate, make it a dish that’s both fun to color in and of course, eat!
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons oil and maple syrup. Brush squash wedges on both sides with half of the syrup mixture. Sprinkle liberally with salt. Place on the baking sheet and roast for 40 minutes, or until tender when poked with a fork. Brush the squash again with remaining olive oil/maple syrup mixture.
3. In a small skillet over medium-high, warm remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Fry the sage leaves until crispy. Transfer to a bed of paper towels and top with a few pinches of salt. Garnish the squash with the sage leaves and pomegranate seeds.

text: They can veer between feedback-laced indie rock and gorgeous Simon & Garfunkel-esque baroque folk, and they’ve never sounded as self-assured as on the Montreal-based band’s third album. Everybody’s favorite popular music trio featuring a harpist as a member tried something new this time around, to retreat to a cabin in Northern Quebec without any material and try to write and record their album simultaneously. Clearly, the experiment worked. Although the album's first song is sweetened by some guest vocals by Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig of Lucius, it's the album's subtly attention-grabbing melodies and instrumentation that are this release’s real crowd-pleasers.

Jane from Inver Dea Pet Physio wanted a logo that communicated to her customers what she dose. The one thing she did say was " I don't want a paw print"
We decided we would like one large animal and one small animal to represent the variety of animals Jane works withs. For colour we wanted to show Jane as a female, so we went with a very vibrant pink to show her fun warm character. Physio is a natural remedy and we think green was a good choice to show this and also compliments the pink.

Results from time-series analysis of Landsat images in characterizing global forest extent and change from 2000 through 2018. For additional information about these results, please see the associated journal article (Hansen et al., Science 2013).
Please use that URL when linking to this dataset.
We anticipate releasing updated versions of this dataset. To keep up to date with the latest updates, and to help us better understand how these data are used, please register as a user. Thanks!
Improved input spectral features for building and applying the loss model.
These changes lead to a different and improved detection of global forest loss. However, the years preceding 2011 have not yet been reprocessed in this manner, and users will notice inconsistencies as a result. It must also be noted that a full validation of the results incorporating Landsat 8 has not been undertaken. Such an analysis may reveal a more sensitive ability to detect and map forest disturbance with Landsat 8 data. If this is the case then there will be a more fundamental limitation to the consistency of the mapped interannual loss before and after the inclusion of Landsat 8 data, and a validation of Landsat 8-incorporated loss detection is planned. The integrated use of version 1.0 2000–2012 data and updated version 1.6 2011–2018 data should be performed with caution.
Improved detection of boreal forest loss due to fire.
Improved detection of smallholder rotation agricultural clearing in dry and humid tropical forests.
Improved detection of selective logging.
Improved detection of the clearing of short cycle plantations in sub-tropical and tropical ecozones.
These are examples of dynamics that may be differentially mapped over the 2001-2018 period in Version 1.6. A version 2.0 reprocessing of the 2000-onward record is planned, but no delivery date is yet confirmed.
The original version 1.0 data is also still available for download here.
In addition, to reduce confusion, beginning with version 1.4 we are no longer releasing loss as a separate layer from lossyear. Loss as previously releaed corresponds to nonzero values of loss year.

G. Townshend. 2013. “High-Resolution Global Maps of 21st-Century Forest Cover Change.” Science 342 (15 November): 850–53. Data available on-line from: http://earthenginepartners.appspot.com/science-2013-global-forest.
This global dataset is divided into 10x10 degree tiles, consisting of seven files per tile. All files contain unsigned 8-bit values and have a spatial resolution of 1 arc-second per pixel, or approximately 30 meters per pixel at the equator.
Tree cover in the year 2000, defined as canopy closure for all vegetation taller than 5m in height. Encoded as a percentage per output grid cell, in the range 0–100.
Forest gain during the period 2000–2012, defined as the inverse of loss, or a non-forest to forest change entirely within the study period. Encoded as either 1 (gain) or 0 (no gain).
Forest loss during the period 2000–2018, defined as a stand-replacement disturbance, or a change from a forest to non-forest state. Encoded as either 0 (no loss) or else a value in the range 1–17, representing loss detected primarily in the year 2001–2018, respectively.
Three values representing areas of no data (0), mapped land surface (1), and permanent water bodies (2).
Reference multispectral imagery from the first available year, typically 2000. If no cloud-free observations were available for year 2000, imagery was taken from the closest year with cloud-free data, within the range 1999–2012.
Reference multispectral imagery from the last available year, typically 2018. If no cloud-free observations were available for year 2018, imagery was taken from the closest year with cloud-free data, within the range 2010–2015.
To download individual 10x10 degree granules, click on a region on the map below and then click on the URLs underneath it.
We have provided a complete set of granules spanning the range 180W–180E and 80N–60S, but the granules over the ocean are provided for completeness only and do not contain any meaningful data. Should you wish to download a complete layer, you may download a text file containing the complete list of URLs for each layer: treecover2000, gain, lossyear, datamask, first, or last.
Note that the loss, gain, lossyear, and datamask layers compress extremely well (totalling less than 10GB each globally), and the treecover2000 layer compresses fairly well (less than 50GB), but the first and last multispectral layers are much larger (totalling over 600GB each). You may wish to take this into account when selecting which layers to download in their entirety.
You can also analyze these results directly in Google Earth Engine using the asset ID UMD/hansen/global_forest_change_2018_v1_6. If you are not yet an Earth Engine user, you may sign up here. To help you get started we have made an introductory tutorial showing examples of how to use this data to do a variety of things, including generating indices from annual Landsat composites and computing tree loss per year for regions of interest.
