Our intensive peer-to-peer programs serve as the catalyst to assist our Nation’s Warriors in discovering the answers to the big questions in life, dealing with challenges related to the struggles of daily military life, combat deployments and the symptoms of post-traumatic stress (PTS). Our programs are available at NO COST to our honored service men & women, held at beautiful locations across the US.
Many of our Nation’s Warriors struggle with the hardships of military service and reintegration back into civilian life; often leaving broken homes in their aftermath and comprise one of the most at risk groups for suicide. Mighty Oaks tackles this critical issue with our peer-to-peer resiliency and recovery programs offered at no cost to our honored service men and women. Learn more about how you can make a direct impact today and effect positive change, guiding our service men and women to find a new life purpose through hope in Christ.
Learn more about the incredible story of our founder Chad Robichaux. His military service as a Force Recon Marine and his journey from eight deployments as part of a Joint Special Operations Command Task Force, to a life-or-death decision as a police officer, to a champion MMA fighter, to his most challenging fight, his battle with PTS (post traumatic stress). With his marriage “dead” and suicidal thoughts filling his head, Chad started searching for answers. His wife began searching too. After revealing what she found, it led to a crucial turning point in Chad’s life. Learn more about his inspirational story and his life changing decision here.
The Mighty Oaks Foundation is a faith-based Veteran service organization that teaches combat Veterans struggling with Post Traumatic Stress how to get beyond combat trauma and live their lives in the manner God intended. Many combat vets are unable to reintegrate back into civilian life, leaving their families to deal with the aftermath of broken homes and suicide at times. By aligning their lives to Biblical principles, these Warriors are able to lead their families, their communities and our nation. Our mission is to serve and restore our nation’s Warriors and families, who have endured hardship through their service to America, and to help them find a new life purpose through hope in Christ and our resiliency and peer-to-peer recovery programs.
After 18 years in the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan, more than half of the 2 million Veterans struggle with physical and mental health problems stemming from their service. According to the Department of Veteran Affairs, every day in America, over twenty veterans commit suicide. The V.A. Hotline receives an average of 400 calls per day. 2018 marked the highest military active duty suicide rate in 10 years. At the same time, the divorce rate among active military personnel and returning Veterans is staggering, impacting Veterans, as well as their families. Many combat vets are unable to reintegrate back into civilian life leaving their families to work through the aftermath.
For our Warrior's who are struggling, the Mighty Oaks journey begins with our intensive peer-based Legacy Program. Through instruction, life-skill projects and team building, we challenge our Warriors to overcome their past experiences and move forward into a life of purpose. After more than 2,500 alumni have participated in our programs, we have and maintain one of the highest success rates of any recovery program in preventing veteran suicide and divorce. In fact, our programs are so successful that we receive hundreds of active duty military on official orders each year. Additionally, through a proactive effort, Mighty Oaks has provided Resiliency Programs to over 110,000 active duty troops on military bases worldwide.

Boca Raton, FL : Chapman & Hall/CRC, c2012.
xvi, 438 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.
"The increased use of non-inferiority analysis has been accompanied by a proliferation of research on the design and analysis of non-inferiority studies. Design and Analysis of Non-Inferiority Trials brings together this body of research and confronts the issues involved in the design of a non-inferiority trial. Using examples from real clinical trials, the book discusses general and regulatory issues and illustrates how they affect analysis. Each chapter begins with a non-technical introduction, so the subject is easily understood by those without prior knowledge of non-inferiority clinical trials. The book also provides detailed mathematical approaches along with their mathematical properties"--Provided by publisher.

A root canal procedure requires one or more appointments and can be performed by your regular dentist or endodontist (a root canal specialist). While the tooth is numb, a rubber dam (a sheet of rubber) will be placed around the tooth to keep it dry and free of saliva. An access opening is made on top of the tooth and a series of root canal files are placed into the opening. One at a time these remove the pulp, nerve tissue, and bacteria. If tooth decay is present, it will also be removed with special dental instruments.
At the next appointment, usually a week later, the roots and the inside cavity of the tooth will be filled and sealed with special dental materials. A filling will be placed to cover the opening on top of the tooth. In addition, all teeth that have root canal treatment should have a crown (cap) placed. This will protect the tooth and prevent it from breaking, by restoring it to its full function.

He hopes you’ll buy his latest CD and tickets to his show Jan.15 at Anthology. But at the same time, bluesman Otis Taylor saysthat if he’s honest with himself, he’d have to admit he probablydoesn’t care as much about the money end of things as heshould.
“I just don’t care if I sell records ---- I must not care,because I do the things the way I do,” Taylor said recently byphone. He explained that he views each album as a chance to explorea new concept ---- and thus keeps moving into new territory, ratherthan finding something that sells well and then turning out thesame style of record over and over.
“When I first started, I didn’t care; now, I can say I carebecause I’m making a little money. I care about money; I just don’tcareenoughabout money.
One thing he’s not doing the same is touring with daughterCassie Taylor, his longtime bassist and co-vocalist.
When asked if this surprised him, Taylor said his daughter hadmet someone and was tired of being away all the time. So for thistour, he’s bringing a different bass player and a drummer as well,"which is unusual,” he said.
He’s still touring in support of “Pentatonic Wars and LoveSongs,” released last June on Telarc. That album’s core concept waslove, while the album before that, “Reclaiming the Banjo,” wasabout exploring the black roots of the banjo.
His next album, set for release this June, is already finished.Taylor said he produces his own albums and then delivers a finishedproduct to Telarc.
Taylor said that he likes the playing on his recordings to soundfresh, so he will only go to two takes on a song ---- and only totwo takes because the other musicians playing with him may beplaying one of his songs for the first time on take No. 1. But ifthey don’t get it right the second time?
“Three takes makes me nervous, and I don’t get to four takes---- there’s no emotion left.
Although Telarc Records, his home since 2003’s “Truth Is NotFiction,” has been bought by the Concord Group, Taylor said thechanges haven’t filtered down to the musicians.
“They don’t send anyone out there to watch you. Some things aredone differently; a little more corporate, but not artistically.... There’s just more paperwork for everything.
While he admitted that his brand of “trance blues” is farremoved from the mainstream, Taylor said it is possible to beinfluential without being famous.
“I figure it’s better to have a niche than just be part of thepack. I have a lot of young filmmakers wanting to use my music.There’s a whole younger set that’s hearing about me, which iscool.
“Who’s more important in the world, Miles Davis or Mick Jagger?A hundred years from now, it will be Miles. Who’s sold morerecords? The Rolling Stones. But who’s hipper? Miles Davis.
“That’s a legacy I’d like to leave ---- but we’ll see.

Golden’s top ten events spanning 150 years!
Our lives are filled with events—big and small, happy and sad, some memorable and some best forgotten. Over the course of days and years, the events of a lifetime tell a story—and the same is true for a community.
Epic Events showcases over three dozen events. From the founding of Golden to the discovery of the world’s first T-rex tooth, we cover a huge spectrum of material. Visitors will also discover Colorado Prohibition, William “Buffalo Bill” Cody’s burial, and a blizzard that dumped five feet of snow on the town, all of which are paired with some amazing artifacts.
Perhaps the largest and showiest artifact is a recently acquired 1910 ore car used for local clay mining. There is also a 1920s Coors milk can used by local families to transport milk for malted milk production, and Norton Brown’s 1892 Engineer of Mines degree from the Colorado School of Mines.
Hear Golden author and historian Mary Ramstetter narrate a video introduction titled, Golden Was Born a Handmaiden to the Miners. Her colorful narrative is supported with new footage from four of Golden’s historical murals, most notably two by Hal Shelton.
And that’s not all. For the first time ever a 1965 industry film on the Jolly Rancher plant titled Candy Country USA will show continuously.
The entire family will want to take a selfie in front of a huge photo backdrop depicting tourists with donkeys – once a common sight in Golden. As early as July 1, 1906, Clyde Ashworth had erected a pavilion at the summit of Castle Rock and tourists used burros as a novel means of transportation to and from the rock.
Finally, the Epic Events timeline gallery guide will be on hand to help you peruse hundreds of other epic events from the past century and a half. An epic accomplishment on its own, the timeline was developed in conjunction with a team of respected local historians.

Located in the Kangshung Valley and separated from Makalu by Sakietang-La, Chomo Lonzo has three different summits. In 1954 Lionel Terrary and Jean Couzy made the first ascent of the South Summit (7790m) from Nepal, and in 1993 a Japanese party made a second ascent from Tibet, following a dangerous line under seracs. Neither the Central Summit (7540m) nor the North Summit (7199m) had any ascents before our expedition. On March 30, expedition members Stephane Benoist, Yann Bonneville, Aymeric Clouet, Patrick Glairon-Rappaz, Yannick Graziani, Christophe Moulin, Christian Trommsdorff and Patrick Wagnon departed from France. Our concept was for three independent parties to climb in pure alpine style (no fixed ropes, no permanent high altitude camps).
On April 13 the team set up base camp; from April 14 to 24, they acclimatized and did reconnaissance on the northeast and west faces of the mountain. The northeast face seemed challenging but risky, with much snow and threatening seracs. On April 25 Benoist and Glairon-Rappaz made an ascent of Chago (6850m) from the north.
After setting up an advanced base camp on the West Chomo Lonzo Glacier, Yann Bonneville, Aymeric Clouet and Christophe Moulin made an attempt on the west face of the North Summit on May 4-5. Strong winds and snow stopped them at 6500 meters. From May 4-7, Graziani, Trommsdorff and Wagnon achieved the first ascent of the North Summit, via the Northwest Ridge (TD: M5). Benoist and Glairon-Rappaz accomplished the first ascent of the North Summit's west face (ED: M6 85 degrees) from May 13-16. They found the climb to be as difficult as the route they established on the north face of Thalay Sagar two years ago, but at a higher altitude. On May 15 Bonneville, Aymeric and Clouet attempted the northwest ridge. Finally, May 15 through May 21, Graziani, Trommsdorff and Wagnon traversed from the North Summit to the Central Summit, making the first ascent of the latter, unclimbed, peak, via its north ridge (ED). This group experienced poor conditions with strong winds.
As far as I know, very few parties have climbed such difficult pitches at such high altitudes without fixed ropes. The traverse could be easily compared to Voytek Kurtyka and Robert Schauer's ascent of the West Face of Gasherbrum IV or to Christophe Profit and Pierre Beghin's ascent of K2. The team managed difficult routes in high-pressure situations—in short, it was real modern alpinism!

For some, this is the best time of the year. In my tradition, many think of twinkling lights, decorated trees, candy, presents, and the sights and sounds of Christmas. Joyous times of celebration with family and friends readily come to mind.
For others, this time of the year can bring a heaviness of heart; it can feel like a demanding and stressful time, with pressure to get everything done “just right.” There are presents to be bought and wrapped, Christmas cards to be sent, the house needing to be cleaned for family visiting, and holiday meals to be made.
Christmas can sometimes feel exhausting, and if we’re not careful, we can lose our joy during the holiday season. It’s sad to think a time of the year that ought to be special, bringing with it feelings of joy, peace and harmony, can feel to many anything but joyous. Still more, Christmas can even be a time of financial, emotional or relational stress and anxiety. I mean let’s face it, for some people getting together with family for the holidays looks more like an episode of Jerry Springer or Dr. Phil than it does It’s a Wonderful Life!
Unfortunately, many times it can feel like our lives are filled with everything but peace. I’ve got four kids at home, and believe me, sometimes the only peace and quiet I can find is when I escape into the bathroom.
In the verse above, the writer Isaiah uses a Hebrew name, sar shalom. Sar means, “the one who is in charge, the chief, the general.” Shalom means, “peace, tranquility, completeness.” The term sar shalom quite literally means, the one who is in charge of our peace. The ancient writer reminds us, we have a general in charge of our peace – we have a commanding authority of our tranquility and wholeness, who wants us to live with peace in our lives. It’s incredible to think we’re given peace from the One who created us, and who loves us.
When my kids were younger, and they were afraid of the dark, they would sometimes cry out for a parent to comfort them. Once my wife or I embraced our child to provide comfort, they were no longer afraid. Why? Because they’d been given the peace of their loving parent. Our presence as a parent, is what comforts our child. In the same way, we are comforted by God’s sacred peace that surpasses all understanding.
As this special season is upon us, ask yourself, “Do I have peace in my life?” Your unit chaplain and religious affairs Airmen truly hope you have peace in your life, and we’re always available 24-7 to talk about the most important questions of faith. We have a unique heavenly calling, and we care about you and your family.

When I got started playing with sourdough, it was simply to try and make a simple loaf of sourdough. I have always loved the tang of San Francisco sourdough bread so when my friend offered me some starter I decided, why not make some myself. How hard could it be? Turns out it isn’t that hard and it is fun to boot.
Well, that was several moons and several hundred pounds of flour ago. I was amazed to find out you can make any flour product into sourdough. Granted you must like the tang of sourdough so if you do there is a world of amazing taste treats in store for you. Whenever I’m asked, “Can you make _____?” The answer is always yes! “How about scones, beignets, or tortillas?” Yes, yes and yes! There is always a skeptic with a raised eyebrow that asks, “What about a chocolate cake? Bet that doesn’t work!” Yes, yes it does.
If it’s made with Flour, We make it Sour!
I must admit that once I discovered how versatile sourdough is, I couldn’t stop myself from trying every recipe I could get my hands on. Pretzels almost became a religious experience. Jalapeno/Pepperjack loafs (AKA, Crack bread) could not be kept past one day ’cause it was consumed so quickly. Once you make sourdough English muffins, you’ll never buy store bought again. Did I mention the waffles? OMG! I have never had an experience to rival the lightness and taste of a sourdough waffle. My current favorite loaf is my Black Russian Bread with chocolate, coffee, molasses, balsamic vinegar and tons of seeds.
The adventure is just beginning. Join me as we discover new and amazing recipes. I have had no formal training as a baker. I can grill and cook outdoors, and have always found my way around the kitchen, making simple meals, but sourdough has kicked up my game to world class levels. My next challenge will be to bake all this sourdough goodness outdoors, in my dutch ovens. I can’t wait!
As I mentioned, I have had no formal training as a baker. I still am trying to get my head around baker’s percentages and hydration levels. It has been a long and painful road to get where I can produce a great ball of dough without hours of kneading or frustration. I can promise you that the recipes I post here have been tried many times. I won’t bore you with all my failures (most often because I forgot a step or ingredient!) but will share what I have learned and what I like. Please use these recipes as a jumping off point for your own adventures. Also, please let me know what worked for you or what didn’t so we can learn together.
Make it Happy, Make it Sour!
I hope you enjoy these pages.
Let me know if you have any suggestions to make this a better site.

I Run Anti-virus Software. Why do I Still Sometimes Get Infected? - Ask Leo!
It seems like even the most up-to-date anti-malware package isn't always enough. It's frustrating because you think that it would be.
That’s a very good question. Most people believe that they’re totally protected because they have an anti-malware program.
In the lead are malware writers looking for vulnerabilities and writing malware to exploit them.
Coming in second are the anti-malware software vendors looking for ways to detect new malware as it appears as well as figure out the correct way to eradicate it when found.
Next are the software vendors looking to plug the security holes that the malware exploited in the first place.
Lastly are folks like you and me, hopefully keeping our systems up-to-date with the latest updates to both our anti-malware products as well as the systems and software that have vulnerabilities.
As you can see, virus writers are almost always in the lead. You and I? We’re dead last – hopefully close to the pack, but still – last.
Your anti-malware software has not yet been updated to know how to detect it.
Your system or application software has not yet been patched to fix whatever vulnerability the virus exploits.
Sadly, as far as I can tell, there is simply no “best” anti-virus or anti-malware package. Almost all of the name brands are good, but I’ve not run into one that really stands out above the crowd at detecting absolutely positively everything.
In other words, no matter what anti-virus package you run, it may miss something. Different packages may miss different things, but there’s no single package that you can count on to catch everything. So it’s possible to still get infected even though your anti-malware tools are completely up-to-date.
One of the more frustrating scenarios that I’ve seen involves going to great lengths to clear a machine of viruses only to get infected again within seconds of connecting to the internet.
Some classes of viruses exploit operating system vulnerabilities that are present simply by connecting to the internet. You don’t even have time to download your operating system update, or anti-virus software, before your machine is once again a victim.
Firewalls help, particularly hardware firewalls such as routers. That’s one of the reasons why folks like me harp on putting your computer behind some sort of a firewall. Firewalls understand the difference between certain types of legitimate internet traffic and types that you’d never need. They block out the unwanted stuff before your computer ever really sees it or has a chance to be infected by it.
The good news here is that most operating systems now either come with a software firewall turned on by default or strongly encourage you to turn it on as you perform your initial install.
All malware is not created equal, which is why there are so many different terms to describe the variations. Some exist merely to propagate. Others exist to do damage. Some exist to silently send spam. Still others start to blur the line between virus and spyware as they install monitoring or additional vulnerabilities on your system. Some travel by email. Others travel by downloaded applications. As we just saw, others can travel from unprotected computer to unprotected computer directly through the internet.
No anti-malware tool can protect you from yourself. For example, if you open an email attachment that you don’t recognize and run it, you may install a virus before your anti-virus software has a chance to act. When downloading a file, if you choose to ignore a warning that your anti-virus package or firewall displays, you’re telling the software that you know better than it does what is or is not safe.
If you choose to connect without a firewall or choose not to use automatic updating tools to keep your system as up-to-date as possible … it’s on you to know what you’re doing.
Why is it like this? It’s hard to say. Ask 10 people and you’ll get 10 different answers: hackers with too much free time, operating systems that aren’t robust enough, success in the marketplace that makes for a bigger target, and more. Of late, there’s more money to be made by infecting large numbers of machines with spam-sending bot software.
Of course, it shouldn’t be like this.
For whatever reason, it is like this and will be for the foreseeable future. That’s why you and I are each responsible for keeping our computers safe on the internet.
« Previous post: How Do I Make a New Hotmail Account? Or Outlook.com Account?
I had to turn off my Firewall because my Dell said that AOL was being blocked by it. I was asked to remove it so I could go online. Is this neccessary? Can I run thae Privacy wall instead? Help. Yhank-You.
I firmly believe that those Anti-Virus companies are indeed conspiring to place viruses on the net. Think about it! It’s a very big money maker!
But the tin foil protects things.
I using AVG in still got infected with trojan and backdoors. I want to change my real time anti virus,but don’t know how. Leo,can you suggest some good anti virus? and kindly guide me too as well to how to install it. thanks.
What Security Software do you Recommend? has recommendations.
I agree and couldn’t have said it better myself. Thanks for what you do, Leo!
I have never, in over 20 years of increasing internet use, installed any security software. I have suffered two viruses: the first was on a floppy given me by someone I trusted; the second was while updating Windows immediately after installing it, before Windows firewall was enabled by default. Now Shields Up tells me I’m invisible, except for Ping, which doesn’t bother me.
Vigilance is all it takes – there’s no substitute for it.
avg became the malware. I tried it once, but it did nothing for me, so I uninstaled it, but it then got into everything and just kept getting worse. It even took money out of one of my accounts. No mater how many solutions I tried, it just multiplied and blocked my firewall, so I had more viruses. I finally had to get a new complete install. That sort of worked but blocked any programs until I sent money to another secuurity program, which I later learned was another scam. So far I have been unable to get a refund, but i think my computer is now working with microsoft security.
The stuff that ‘infects’ many computers these days are unwanted browser extension ,add ons. toolbars, browser hijackers which change home page and search engine. These can slow the computer down to a crawl.
Most antivirus packages do not remove these as they come bundled with wanted software programs and are not detected as malware.
Getting rid of this scourge is easy enough when you know how. Most removals have to be done one by one,but often it just comes straight back unless thoroughly removed.
The best fix is a Windows reinstall …this usually takes less time overall and is the most effective.
Malwarebytes is very good at removing a lot of these PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs.) They’re usually not so “Potential.” Most of them are absolutely unwanted.
I recently changed from AVG to ZoneAlarm, and ZA found things AVG hadn’t, on it’s first scan.
I also run MSE (or Windows Defender, depending on OS) just to keep an eye on things.
If I’m really feeling paranoid, I go to Trend Micro and run their “Housecall”.
No anti-malware is perfect. Paid services are ‘supposed’ to be better, but why pay for something you -know- you can’t trust completely when the free ones are “good enough”?
And to quote Leo from a different article – if someone wants to see the ‘fluffy kitten pictures’, then no anti-malware software available will protect them from themselves.
Along with James S., I don’t run an active anti-virus software and have never been infected in 13 years. Hardware firewall is mandatory though of course. There are thousands upon thousands of new virus variants created daily I’m told. Maybe so, but they only have a precious few vectors for ingress. I simply guard those; the usual, no messing with attachments, especially from friends until properly dunked in a virus acid bath, no messing with uninitiated popups of any kind, most especially from a browser, and careful vetting of every freeware install and any updates to flash player or browsers (I’ve seen both false updates for flash and for Chrome lately) and leave Java disabled altogether unless it’s really needed.
Just that regimen defeats a far larger percentage of viruses than anti-virus does because that form of protection is based and predicated upon distinguishing between legitimate software and viruses and if there are thousands upon thousands every day to distinguish…you do the math; some are going to slip through if one suddenly presents a new and unaccounted for signature.
Thank you for all the help and advise you provide for users, like myself, who are not so educated in the hazards that just seem to be lurking and waiting for an open opportunity to pounce! Please keep up the good work you do.
That’s why it’s so important to do a daily or nightly image backup. When that happened to me, I just ran my backup recovery program and restored to a clean system. This isn’t an “I told you so” as much as a piece of advice to avoid this kind of thing in the future.
I h a ve AVG and something was on my screen saying to call them. Which I did. It turned out I spent 199.99. That turned out I had to pay $460.00 to get it fixed. I think one virus protection knocked out another and then I have to pay them. Sort of a rip off.
That pop-up wasn’t from AVG, it was a fake pop-up ad from some website you visited. You have to be very careful about pop-ups and rogue ads disguising themselves as useful information. The web can be a dangerous jungle sometimes.
I have an AVG anti virus protector, had it for years and all was well until yesterday. The email window is too large and I can not get it to be smaller.
It can not be shifted vertically, or horizontally some times. so I can not use my emails.
As I can not fix it, I presume it is a virus. I need urgent help.
We all respect to you an others, I cannot believe that a program to locate and destroy or delete the virus can/t be written.
Sending a probe to the farthest regions of the Universe is a matter of using scientific principles of Newtonian physics. Fighting viruses is an infinite no rules chess game between two groups of equally intelligent human beings.
Nope. When it comes to malware the target is constantly moving, and in ways that cannot be predicted. Right now the only viable approach for general-purpose operating systems is to target malware after it’s been identified once.
Emsisoft is the best of the best. Not free but the best. Also very good support and service.

Gregory, a Democrat seeking to challenge the GOP incumbent, says King should return $5,000 in donations from restaurateur Harendra Singh.
Democratic congressional contender DuWayne Gregory on Wednesday called on veteran GOP Rep. Peter King to return or turn over to charity $5,000 in contributions given to him by the star prosecution witness in the ongoing Nassau corruption trial, Harendra Singh.
Gregory held his news conference outside U.S. District Court in Central Islip, where former Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano, his wife, Linda, and ex-Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto are on trial.
King, of Seaford, has not been charged with any crime in the case, and his mention was a small part of the seven days of testimony by Singh so far.
“DuWayne must be getting desperate,” King said in a telephone interview. He said he did not recall ever meeting or even speaking with Singh, and that federal investigators have not interviewed him about the case.
King said he has no intention of returning any donations because he has done nothing wrong and returning the money would in effect be acknowledging otherwise.
Gregory said campaign rec ords show “a clear money trail” in two Singh contributions to King totaling $5,000 on April 30, 2012.
“I am appalled by the allegations in Mr. Singh’s testimony and by Mr. King’s ties to his web of corruption,” said Greg ory. King should “immediately disclose all of his meetings with Mr. Singh and his associates,” Gregory said.
King said that after Singh mentioned his name in court, his office checked records and found that staff members made five or six calls on visa issues for two Singh relatives from October 2007 to March 2008.
King said the relatives’ applications were denied, and he was never personally involved. “We do this for hundreds of constituents, and it was forgotten about,” he said.
King also said he didn’t recall Singh’s donations. “I’ve raised $13 million since I’ve been in Congress, and one donation of $5,000 does not stand out,” he said.
Gregory faces a Democratic primary against Babylon progressive activist Liuba Grechen Shirley on June 26.

Top 5 Places To Visit On Free Admission Day (September 25th)!
One of the best things about Edmonton is the annual FREE ADMISSIONS DAY. On this glorious day, the City of Edmonton throws open its doors to nearly every facility in town for the general public’s enjoyment. This year free admissions day falls on September 25th. You may be feeling overwhelmed by all choices, so we’ve narrowed it down to the 5 best places to visit on free admissions day this year.
The Edmonton Valley Zoo is home to more than 350 wild creatures – from red pandas and lemurs to tigers, sea lions and wolves. With a focus on conservation, you can observe, learn and connect with the animals that call our planet home. Another great thing about the Zoo is that it is open year-round and offers lots of seasonal activities, especially during the winter. My personal favourite animal is the river otter, so be sure to check it out this free admissions day!
Located on 158 acres of wooded parkland in the heart of Edmonton’s river valley, Fort Edmonton Park is a historically-themed attraction that offers authentic, fun and memorable ways to experience the past. As you walk back through time, you’ll discover over 150 years of Edmonton’s history, including the fur trade, life with the Hudson’s Bay Company, the pioneer years and the start of city life. Look out for the costumed actors who bring the time periods to life and be sure to ride the steam train and original streetcars.
The John Janzen Nature Centre is your gateway to Edmonton’s River Valley. Take a walk on the “wild side” with programs, events and interactive exhibits designed to promote awareness and engagement with nature. You can even learn how to track wild animals and see how local wildlife has adapted to the four seasons. This attraction isn’t just for the summer months – lots of wildlife and plant life thrives when the weather gets cooler and the snow hits.
Learn the history of John Walter, his family and the Strathcona community from 1887 to 1915 at the John Walter Museum. You can take part in traditions that have shaped the Canadian identity and learn about those who came to Canada to work for the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1870 and later became some of Edmonton’s wealthiest citizens. There are both guided and self-guided tours and information stations that explore the everyday life of John Walter, his family and pioneer living.
Get ready to explore colourful and exotic plant life all the way from Mexico to Madagascar in the Muttart Conservatory's four iconic pyramids. The Tropical displays delicate orchids, weeping figs, towering banana trees and tall palms. The Arid Pyramid contains spiky cacti and other exotic dessert plants. Cool off in the Temperate Pyramid with pampas grass and eucalyptus trees, and be amazed again and again at rotating displays in the Feature Pyramid. Once you’ve finished enjoying the foliage, sit back and relax at Culina Café, which is a classic Edmonton favourite. You’ll find artisan creations like farm-fresh roasted chicken with brie and cranberry chutney, or pumpkin hazelnut soup. Plus you’ll always need to save room for dessert!
Edmonton has so many fun attractions to explore and what better time to do it then on Free Admission Day? This is student living at its finest! City of Edmonton facilities are popula,r so be sure to get there early, take transit where possible, and be patient!

Abstract: Using the 2010 Census Data sample of a national-level economic development zone in Kunshan, Zhejiang Province, China, this paper investigates the discrimination against migrant workers from rural areas in China’s urban labor market. Several conclusions are drawn. First, migrant workers from the rural areas have much lower chance of entering the primary labor market. Second, the workers’ places of birth affect significantly their probability of getting employed in the primary labor market. Third, the places of birth and of household registration of the workers have different impacts on their job opportunities in the primary and secondary labor markets. These conclusions shed light on the discrimination against migrant workers in China’s urban labor market.
The paper in Chinese was originally published in Statistical Research, Vol. 7, 2012.

J Dent. 2010 Jun;38(6):475-9. doi: 10.1016/j.jdent.2010.03.001. Epub 2010 Mar 9.
A clinical evaluation and comparison of bioactive glass and sodium bicarbonate air-polishing powders.
Banerjee A1, Hajatdoost-Sani M, Farrell S, Thompson I.
Compare clinical effectiveness of sodium bicarbonate and bioactive glass powders used for dental prophylaxis.
25 patients were allocated to either good or poor oral hygiene subgroups (n=50). Using a double-blind, split-mouth model, all patients underwent prophylaxis treatment on mandibular teeth; maxillary teeth were untreated controls. Bioactive glass (Sylc, OSspray Ltd., UK) and sodium bicarbonate (Prophy Jet, Dentsply, UK) were applied randomly to opposite sides of each mouth. Sensitivity to cold air/ethyl chloride, dental shade change and procedural comfort were measured. All parameters were recorded immediately pre- and post-treatment and at 10-day recall.
Bioactive glass air-polishing, in both subgroups, reported a 44% (0.80+/-0.10, p<0.05) decrease in dental sensitivity, against controls, immediately after application, and a 42% (0.85+/-0.05, p<0.05) decrease at 10-day recall when stimulated with cold air. Ethyl chloride stimulation showed a 10% (3.05+/-0.17, p<0.05) and 22% (2.64+/-0.33, p<0.05) reduction in sensitivity immediately post-op and at 10-day recall. Application of sodium bicarbonate powders increased sensitivity, 17% (1.76+/-0.3, p<0.05), at 10 days when stimulated with cold air. Both powders showed variation between subgroups in colour change, bioactive glass powder 1 and 4 shades whiter, sodium bicarbonate 1 and 2 shades whiter in good and poor oral hygiene groups, respectively. Patients in both subgroups reported a 46% (7.9+/-1.4, p<0.05) increase in comfort of procedure with the bioactive glass over that when using sodium bicarbonate.
Bioactive glass air-polishing was more clinically and statistically effective at desensitising both good and poor oral hygiene groups, and removing stain in the poor oral hygiene patient subgroup. Bioactive glass also provided better overall patient comfort during the procedure.

Dr. Sneyers invented the Free Lossless Image Format (FLIF). His image processing "Muscles from Brussels" help deliver super-optimized images, super-fast.
FUIF: Why Do We Need a New Image File Format?
In my last post, I introduced FUIF, a new, free, and universal image format I’ve created. In this post and other follow-up pieces, I will explain the why, what, and how of FUIF.
Even though JPEG is still the most widely-used image file format on the web, it has limitations, especially the subset of the format that has been implemented in browsers and that has, therefore, become the de facto standard. Because JPEG has a relatively verbose header, it cannot be used (at least not as is) for low-quality image placeholders (LQIP), for which you need a budget of a few hundred bytes. JPEG cannot encode alpha channels (transparency); it is restricted to 8 bits per channel; and its entropy coding is no longer state of the art. Also, JPEG is not fully “responsive by design.” There is no easy way to find a file’s truncation offsets and it is limited to a 1:8 downscale (the DC coefficients). If you want to use the same file for an 8K UHD display (7,680 pixels wide) and for a smart watch (320 pixels wide), 1:8 is not enough. And finally, JPEG does not work well with nonphotographic images and cannot do fully lossless compression.
Cellular Automata are pretty cool things to play with. There are many, many variants, like Conway’s Game of Life, Abelian Sandpiles, Langton’s Loops and Brian’s Brain, but in this blogpost, I’ll just talk about the simplest kinds of cellular automata: one-dimensional cellular automata.
There are two different kinds of JPEG images: progressive JPEGs and non-progressive JPEGs. These categories have nothing to do with the JPEGs’ political beliefs. They’re all about the order in which they’ve been encoded.
In part one (One pixel is worth three thousand words) of this turned-to-be-two-part blog post, I discussed one-pixel images and how well different image formats “compress” these images. I was surprised how much there is to be said about the matter. This was supposed to be a short blog post, describing one-pixel images and how they compress, and instead it became a glorious monster (and also a two part blog post…).
A couple of months ago while taking a break from implementing cool new features like q_auto and g_auto, I was joking in our team chat about how well various image formats “compress” one-pixel images. In response, Orly — who runs the blog — asked me if I’d write a post about single-pixel images. I said: "Sure, why not. But it will be a very short blog post. After all, there’s not much you can say about a single pixel."
If you make a copy of a copy of a copy, the quality will deteriorate with every ‘generation’. This problem is called ‘generation loss’. It is not difficult to understand why this happens with actual copier machines. Scanning and printing are not perfect, being based on noisy sensors and physical paper and ink, and the resulting noise will tend to accumulate.

The Incident Commander in conjunction with the Executive Emergency Response Team will have absolute authority over the campus in the event of a communicable illness outbreak.
The Director of Public Safety will be responsible for all security related issues and will report directly to the Incident Commander during a communicable illness outbreak. If an order is given to evacuate the campus, the Director of Public Safety will have authority over the campus evacuation activities.
Timely and accurate communication with the campus population during a communicable illness/pandemic outbreak is critical.
The University community will be alerted through the e-mail systems and possibly University message boards as described in Communications Annex 2.2. The Vice President for Public Relations and Communications or his/her designee is responsible for coordinating all emergency communications.
Typically, the Dean of Students office will inform the Department of Housing or the Department of Residential Education when they have received information from Presence or any other health services provider regarding a resident that may be a public health concern.
When a Department of Housing or Residential Education staff member learns of a student potentially infected with a contagious disease, the staff member will follow their approved University and/or departmental protocol. The Departments of Housing and Residential Education will then communicate with others in their areas of the University, to include the Dean of Students, Student Affairs, Facility Operations, Student Centers, Public Safety, etc.
The most ideal scenario for a resident who has been infected with a contagious disease is for the resident to return to his/her primary off-campus residence or assume residence off campus for an appropriate time period, if possible. If returning to a primary off-campus residence or assuming residence off-campus is not an option, the Department of Housing has identified spaces where contagious resident(s), or roommates of contagious residents could be temporarily housed for the duration of the contagious period. Only residents with the same illness will be housed together in the isolated housing space. There are a very limited number of vacant spaces on campus that can be used to house students who are ill and if the number of contagious students is higher than the number of spaces available, other housing provisions will need to be considered. The University will follow the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wherever possible. For less severe contagious disease cases, the University is recommending self-isolation. Many spaces on campus already have a private or semi-private bathroom and as a result, a student staying in their own room until they are symptom free might be the best option. Potential alternate housing options may also exist for seemingly healthy students who may want to be relocated away from a contagious roommate for a short period of time.
Other plans to isolate contagious persons will be enacted based on factors including the number of other cases of contagious persons with the same disease and recommendations or orders from local public health officials.

I am *so slow* to find comments here, apparently. Yes, that would work great, as well.
Yeah, I also fixed the wall thickness issue, partly by rotating the notch 90 degrees. Now it works great, just printed it out yesterday and assembled it.If you would like the Fusion 360 files, I'll try to get those posted as well so you can tweak stuff to your liking.
Hey, the gumball machine is pretty neat, thanks for posting it! I printed it out with the v2 base and wanted to let you know that the spinner won't turn in that situation (the floor of the chamber is higher toward the back in v2). Also, my print had the spinner in two pieces, oddly enough.I created a new spinner in Fusion 360, and would love to share it with you. It works great in the v2 base. Let me know if you're interested and I'll send you all the files.
