Kucheza is the Swahili word for dancing – and Miriam's Kucheza “Dancing Waves” Necklace was created using Kazuri beads with colorful waves of Dark and Light Blue on an Ocean Green background that seems to dance in the sunlight. Accents are Sterling Silver, and Serpentine gemstones. Kazuri is the Swahili word for "small and beautiful"... And Kazuri beads are truly beautiful. Each bead is shaped by hand from clay - fired, painted, fired and glazed, and then fired again in an electric kiln. Up to five different colors may be used on one bead to create the pattern, and no two beads are exactly alike. In this “Dancing Waves” Necklace, the colors used are Apple Green, Mexican Blue and Midnight.
Necklace length is 20 inches, including the Sterling Silver Clasp.
The 15 wavy oval discs are 20x16mm and approximately 7mm deep.
The Fluorite rondelles, and Sterling Silver accents, are 6-7mm in diameter.
This brightly colored and unique necklace is strung on a strong and very flexible 0.019-inch, 49-strand stainless steel wire that is nylon coated.
A custom-designed bracelet and earrings may be available by special order only.
The Kucheza series is the latest in Miriam's African Dreams ceramic jewelry. Miriam designs these one-of-a-kind necklaces using handcrafted ceramic Kazuri Beads imported from Kenya. Lady Sarah Wood and two African women began making the colorful beads in 1975 on the lawn of Isak Dinesen's Kenyan coffee plantation, the same plantation seen by millions in the well-known movie "Out of Africa." Today, this bead business offers employment and income for more than 200 Kenyan women living near the foothills of Mt. Kenya, who are often the sole providers for their children and families. Kazuri's beautifully finished products are made to an international standard... And Kazuri is a member of the Fair Trade Act.

Frazer, Michael (2018) Challenges and Opportunities in the Interdisciplinary Study of Empathy. In: Video Teleconference on Empathy and Emotions in Morality, Communication and Human Life, 2018-09-06 - 2018-09-06, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
There is a growing sense that the current structure of disciplinary divisions in the academy is both arbitrary and unduly constraining. Interdisciplinarity is the watchword of the day, but most scholars are so utterly socialized into their segregated disciplines that it is often unclear how interdisciplinary research can proceed. I think that the long-dead authors I wrote about in my book, The Enlightenment of Sympathy, can provide us with a path forward. These eighteenth-century sentimentalists were united in a common project synthesizing all of what are now the humanities and social sciences to both understand and improve human nature via the human faculty that we now call empathy. This project that could serve as an inspiration to analogous work in the twenty-first century. But such interdisciplinary work on empathy faces serious challenges. This paper focuses on four of them, which I call: 1. The Challenge of Terminology 2. The Challenge of Methodology 3. The Challenge of Normativity 4. The Challenge of Neutrality Each of these challenges is also an opportunity, a chance to shake up how humanistic and social-scientific research is usually conducted and change things for the better.

When looking at the latest research on hamstring injuries I came across an interesting study by Carl Askling and colleagues published in 2013. It compared 2 hamstring rehabilitation programmes, one emphasising strengthening exercises which lengthen the muscle (L-Protocol) and the other using conventional exercises (C-Protocol). The conclusion drawn from the randomised controlled trial was that patients using rehabilitation exercises that concentrated on lengthening the hamstring (eccentric exercises) recovered significantly quicker than those using conventional exercises. Carl Askling also states that of the 190 athletes he has put through his L-protocol rehabilitation programme only 1 has had a recurrence of their injury. This is a pretty incredible recurrence rate of 0.53% compared with normal rates of 12-63% (Brukner et al, 2013).
The 3 exercises in the programme are commenced 2 days after the onset of injury and performed at specific intervals.
Once you are fully recovered from your injury it is worth continuing with eccentric exercises as Peterson et al (2011) found a reduced recurrence rate of 85% for patients who continued with a structured programme of Nordic Hamstring Exercises.
A word of warning…the exercises shown on this website shouldn’t be performed before seeing a health professional who can accurately diagnose your injury.

The final functions are done (in the last part) now it’s just the main body of the script. This will bring all the code together and produce the output we want. The full script can be found here.
This is the main body of the script. All of the code is within the Process block so it is performed on every object that is passed via the pipeline.
#Build a sort a list of all the folders we’re interested in.
$Command is going to be used to hold whatever command the user types in. We set it to $Null to distinguish it from the empty string (“”) which we’re going to use as the ‘take the current selection and process them’ option.
First, we user Get-FolderInformation to return all the information about folders that match $SourcePath and $ArchivePath.
We want the largest folders in that group to be at the front of the list as they’re the ones it’s most useful to archive.
Finally we pipe the output to Format-FolderList which adds an index property to each object in the pipeline which is equal to its position on the list.
In the main body we’re going to keep looping, getting input from the user until they either hit return (which executes the command with whatever folders they’ve selected) or enters “exit” which just exits without doing anything.
Use $FolderList as the source of the pipeline.
Only select the properties of each object we want on the screen (skip all the properties that are used by the script itself and the user won’t be interested in). Instead of the “Size” property we create a new temporary property called “FolderSize“which is the contents of “Size” converted to KB (using the Display-BytesAsKB function).
Finally we format the output as a table with the -AutoSize switch to space it nicely.
Now we read what the user wants to do (after prompting them). If the user entered an integer we find the object with that index (remembering that arrays start counting at 0 so we have to subtract 1 from the user’s input) and then toggle its “Moving” property.
Use $FolderList as the start of the pipeline.
Next filter the pipeline so only objects where the “Moving” property has been set to $True are processed.
Move that item using Move-ArchiveObject.
Finally format the results as a table.
And that’s it! The full script can be found here. There’s plenty we can do to make the script more efficient, more resilient or more functional but this should work as a starting point for an archive script.

If they do not provide you with a list of necessary documents ask for one. In these economic times the list has become longer than it was in the past. Here are the most common documents that are requested by most home loan preapproval processes.
Bank Statements for the most recent 3 months - if you have more than one bank account be sure to bring along statements or passbooks for all accounts. Also, bring all pages, lenders will not accept statements that do not have all pages.
Investments - Money Market Accounts, Stocks, etc. If you have money invested with various institutes or in different investments, make sure you bring documentation for each of the investments to your home loan preapproval appointment for the most recent three months.
If you are self-employed, tax returns for the most recent 2 years.
Remember this is a standard list needed for home loan preapproval. Your lender may not require all of these items and they may require additional items not on this list. It is important to ask the lender what they require for home loan approval documents, before your appointment date to save you time.
The bank needs to know how much you make in order to determine the amount mortgage payment you are eligible for. Furthermore, the amount of income determines the size of the mortgage you can be preapproved for. Your bank statemenst show your reserves and are also important to your lender because it shows your spending habits..
Your credit score is another important part of the equation when determining how much money your home loan preapproval will be for. Your credit score predicates your loan to value, rate, and other important terms of your loan.
Home loan preapproval is convenient and takes all the guesswork out of what you can afford to buy. Make an appointment with your broker or lender and bring the documentation above to be informed on what you can buy.

The pressure to achieve good results in school is felt not only by pupils and their parents.
Teachers, headteachers, school boards, local authorities, the SQA and the Scottish Government itself are all under pressure to show that progress is being made in educational attainment.
Heated debates are ongoing about what is the right time to test pupils, but what if there is a question mark over the results themselves?
We report today on how one teacher has written to the First Minister expressing concern about pressure to amend pupil scores and report cards.
Teachers are best placed to make these judgments and there must be no pressure to do anything other than accurately record a pupil’s performance.
After all, accuracy and honesty are among the attributes we want to teach our children. How ironic if we are failing in this duty over their education.
In addition, any massaging of results may do the child no favours and could even set them up to fail in the future if poor performance isn’t recorded and tackled.
All parents want their children to fulfil their potential, but this aspiration will only be undermined in the long-term by failing to address issues openly and honestly at an early age.

AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety conducted a study that tested the different levels of distracted driving while listening to the radio, talking on a handheld phone, text messaging and voice-to-text messaging. The perils in hands-free messaging exceeded the levels of distracted driving while holding a conversation on a handheld phone.
Voice-to-text messaging behind the wheel caused a “large” amount of distraction compared to “moderate/ significant” for holding a phone conversation. Listening to music or an audio book was deemed a “small” mental distraction.
The study used drivers mostly in their 20s and 30s, all of the participants had good driving records and they performed driving tasks first in the lad and then in a driving simulator and lastly in a residential area. The researchers measured the driver’s reaction time and their brainwave activity with caps’ secured to the driver’s heads to see what was most distracting.
A Transportation Department-funded study that deemed hands-free texting distracted drivers as much as messaging with a handheld device.
Automakers promote the voice-based messaging as a safer alternative to taking hands off the wheel to place a call and talk on a handheld phone. The study found that both methods slowed driver reaction times almost two times than when they were not texting. The study also found that it took drivers longer to complete a text when speaking than when manually typing. Jacob Nelson, AAA's director of traffic safety advocacy and research, said "the guielines don't address the distraction of taking one's mind off driving." The safest driver is an attentive driver. Keep your hands, eyes and mind on the road to prevent accidents.

As my colleagues and I were building curriculum for our ninth grade project-based program, we found that most of our conversations centered not on potential projects themselves, but rather on building student self-motivation and self-mastery. We realized that our program's measure of success was whether the students learned to take charge of their own learning and find a joy in it.
I had made the switch from more traditional teaching to project-based learning partly because I saw how PBL greatly increased student engagement and curiosity. However, I still wanted my students to feel an authentic, self-starting kind of drive -- the sort of thing we see when kids are playing sports, making music, or doing anything that stems from personal passion -- in other words, the internal desire to continually improve and to work hard at doing it. They liked doing projects well enough, but were still not personally connected enough to the work -- or doing more than "just good enough." I wanted to find something they would look forward to doing when they weren't in my class, and something they would want to master, rather than just doing "good enough."
I had a chance meeting with a friend of a friend who wanted to get students involved in entrepreneurship. As it happened, my colleagues and I had just read Yong Zhao's World Class Learners, and we wanted a project that would enable our students to start a business with an actual possibility of earnings. In this case, the students would be challenged to market their product -- an aquaponics kit for the home -- on Kickstarter or other crowdfunding websites. The result was beyond anything I could have hoped for.
"Contractors" were responsible to delineating tasks and communicating with their "staffs" and with us.
"Designers" worked on developing models.
"Salesmen" developed social media and other outreach materials.
Teams held weekly meetings to find out how much work had been finished and how much was left to do. Students felt personally responsible for their teammates' success and were unhappy if they felt they had let down their teams.
Students found mentors outside the school who correlated to their project roles. A real strength of PBL is that it takes kids out into the community, but we found that creating an entrepreneurial project brought the whole community to us as well. Parents were eager to bring their work skills and experiences into our classroom -- not to lecture the whole class, but to work with their younger analogues. The "builders" on each team, for instance, spent hours with construction engineers and local craftsmen, and the sales team members met with business and marketing specialists in the classroom and even at home. Local businesses, from aquaponics farms to Maker spaces, volunteered their space and time to help students design and build their kits. And since -- let's be blunt -- I'm a humanities teacher with a very limited sense of how to create a business, I was more than happy to let the experts share their talents while I concentrated on my own job.
Finally, the students' excitement continued to build as their designs slowly took concrete shape and their social media campaigns ramped up in preparation for the Kickstarter campaign. Parents reported their students had never seemed so involved in their schoolwork (or so willing to talk to them at the dinner table). We initially worried that our mandated curriculum -- the math, science, literature, and history requirements for ninth grade -- would get lost in the shuffle, dropped in favor of the lure for becoming business successes. We needn't have worried.
For the students, reading novels (such as 1984) or historical documents became exercises in examining the authors' uses of rhetoric and persuasion. Understanding narrative began to matter more as students realized they had to craft a compelling message for their campaigns. As they learned the importance of communication in the professional world, writing exercises became a common-sense preparation for life, not a chore. My STEM partners reported the same results for math and science lessons. In other words, the students saw the adoption of classroom skills as an important step for their future success. This didn't happen immediately, but by the last third of the project timelines, their attitudes had shifted markedly from where they had started the year.
More remarkably, this project even changed how they used their free time. I saw our students enrolling in online courses in either website or business development. Their social media use took on more significance and had a more authentic stake for them, as students began communicating with web journals and community organizations to expand their online presence and gain "endorsements" for their products. Eventually, their work became polished enough to attract the interest of a few local entrepreneurs who volunteered not only to teach them business skills, but also to host a Shark Tank event and bankroll the winners. While only one team won, the other teams vowed to continue developing their ideas and seek their own independent funding. They had redefined success as not necessarily getting A's or passing the class, but as refusing to take no for an answer.
You can find a record of their work on my website, here and here.
How have you used PBL to foster student engagement in real-world projects?

Although I currently need it to survive, I don’t think money deserves the amount of power we assume it has. That’s why since I was a child I’ve been focused on charity activities. Nowadays my altruistic initiatives center on money and different ways to give it to people.
I’ve always been donating money for specific purposes, but once I started to work I thought I could make it constant. This is how in 2007 I decided to sponsor Rameswar Naik, a 5 year old boy in Anantapur (India). I am collaborating with Fundación Vicente Ferrer in order to help improve the living conditions of the most disadvantaged groups there.
Later, in 2009, I won a raffle and they gave me a 32″ TV. I felt I had to do something different so I asked for help on the Internet. This is how 700 euros was born. Now this project is finished, but it will continue in a different way: Melkistonon.

The deep water habitat forces the species to adapt to the environment. This translates to a rich "antifreeze" within the muscle structure. This "fat" is found in many of the world's most popular fish. King Salmon, Northern Halibut, Butterfish, and Black Cod all have this. Bluenose offers a clean and versatile fillet from market sizes ranging 10 to 25 lbs. The white fat in the muscle striations flake large and moist. Perfect for any culinary application, but especially for light and fresh sets.

Danny Tomsett made an impression at last week’s Deloitte Private Tech 500 celebration in Auckland. As CEO and founder of FaceMe, a software company that seeks to transform the customer experience with the creation of ‘digital humans’, Danny introduced the audience to his own virtual assistant, and inspired the room to think about the potential of Artificial Intelligence in business.
How did you get to where you are in your career?
My journey started at 8 years old when I coded my first game and tried to sell it to my friends. This was my earliest foray into entrepreneurship. At subsequent career days at school, I developed a dream of becoming both an entrepreneur and someone who used that influence to change lives. I went on to found and exit my own telecommunications company at 25, and had the privilege of being mentored by Sir Richard Branson when in the founding years of FaceMe.
What was the motivating factor for starting FaceMe?
I have a passion for customer experience and I’m passionate about people and how we can use technology to make a positive difference in people’s lives. FaceMe enables companies to reimagine the customer experience of the future through a conversational platform designed around leveraging the ‘human touch’ to create amazing customer experiences at scale.
Also, AI is changing the way we will interact with and experience machines. The world will be significantly different in 10 years as we become even more dependent on digital and machines. The driving force behind this wave of change is connected to our need for improved convenient, personalised and frictionless experience. At FaceMe, we believe in bringing human, emotional connection into digital experiences.
The FaceMe Digital Human Platform is for creators. Using AI we make it incredibly easy for people to design conversational experiences with personality and warmth that bring the human connection back to their digital products.
Digital Humans are a next generation interface that combine the best customer experience influencers from both human and machine, embodying the brand and knowledge of an organization, whilst creating significant value through emotional connection, personalisation and consistency with end-users.
What do you think are the biggest misconceptions of AI?
There are many! One I often talk about with customers is the misunderstanding of what they can achieve with machine learning with limited amounts of data. Additionally, the manual work involved to ensure the right data is used to train effective models.
Companies that will win will be those who have established an AI strategy early - understanding that it is a journey that starts now and requires a strategy formed on what they want to look like in 5 years. They have to invest in technology and data strategies that will support this vision.
Where does the future lie in balancing the growth of AI with our human workforce?
Far from fearing that Digital Humans could potentially take over human roles, FaceMe is excited about how Digital Humans will enable people to deliver great outcomes for customers by supporting ‘transactional’ tasks so that they can focus on higher value interactions.
One of the biggest misconceptions about AI is that AI is designed to ‘replace humans’. Great AI should be designed to enhance what humans do. Our customers understand this, and they’re leveraging the technology as a tool to support and empower their staff.
Are there any specific lessons that you would share with other entrepreneurs?
- Surround yourself with great people - the calibre of people around you will shape your success in the future.
- Be very clear about your ‘why’ - it will shape your actions, strategy and ultimately, your business destiny.
- Don’t compromise on hiring A-grade staff, and then retain them by building a great culture.
FaceMe was the winner of the Sir Richard Branson ‘Virgin Business challenge’ and as a result, I was incredibly privileged to receive business mentorship from Richard himself. If spending one-on-one time with Sir Richard Branson taught me anything, it was to think bigger - maybe a trait all too familiar with Kiwis is that we often don't think big enough! Your way of doing business will only grow exponentially if you don’t place any limits on how big you dream and how far you are prepared to go.

Rather than living in an apartment in Oregon, why not rent a duplex? This is a good way to start a family, especially for newly-wed couples or those who are having their first baby but are still unable to get their own house. Duplexes in Oregon offer an easy transition from apartment life to living in a house. It is also a smart choice for those who are planning to invest and become a landlord.
What's great about renting a duplex in Oregon is that residents need not worry about maintaining the structure. The landlord has the obligation to repair damages and take care of other building problems. It is also beneficial to those who want to have a backyard. Although the two tenants have to share the space, it is much better than having no backyard at all. In apartments, most residents can only see towering buildings. It is quite rare to find apartment units that have good outdoor spaces for children to play. On the other hand, most duplexes for rent in Oregon often come with backyards, making them great places to raise growing kids.
In addition, when renting an apartment, residents may have to deal with having lots of neighbors. A duplex only has two units in the building. This simply means that people living in duplexes can have their own peace of mind. Whether it is in Portland or any other part of the state, you can always find a duplex to rent. Portland is among the best places to rent a duplex. Tenants can either choose long or short-term rentals. There are also many units available for those who want to purchase a duplex and join the rental business.
Duplexes in Oregon are structures that look exactly like houses but have similar functions to that of an apartment. It is like a house split into two units for two different renters. The structure is divided into two living spaces. There are units with additional garages, and others are newly renovated to welcome new tenants. A typical duplex in Oregon is comprised of two bedrooms and a bath with a yard outside.
Renting a duplex in Oregon is like living in your own home where you can have enough space for a growing family and easy access to the world outside. A duplex is the best choice next to having your own home and far better than renting an apartment.

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine.
The naturopathic philosophy is to stimulate the healing power of the body and treat the underlying cause of disease. Symptoms of disease are seen as warning signals of improper functioning of the body, and unfavourable lifestyle habits. Naturopathic Medicine emphasizes disease as a process rather than as an entity.
In addition to diet and lifestyle changes, natural therapies including botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, naturopathic manipulation and traditional Chinese medicine/acupuncture, may also be used during treatments.
In Canada, the naturopathic medical profession’s infrastructure includes accredited naturopathic medical programs, standardized North American Board Exams (NPLEX) and jurisdictional exams, national standards of practice and, regulation in five provinces to date.
Do no harm – Naturopathic medicine provides effective treatment with the least risk possible to patients.
Treat the cause – NDs focus on treating the root cause of your illness and avoid the suppression of symptoms.
Doctor as teacher – NDs spend time with their patients. This time allows them to answer questions, teach patients about their illness and explain treatment plans.
Individualized treatment – No two people are exactly alike. Since illnesses can be caused by many different factors, NDs create treatment plans specifically tailored to each individual patient.
Emphasize prevention – Prevention is the best medicine. The goal of naturopathic medicine is for you to be as healthy as possible to prevent disease from occurring. When our bodies are functioning optimally, they are in the best position to ward off illness.
Healing power of nature – The body has an innate ability to heal. Removing obstacles that interfere with the healing process and supplying the body with required nutrients stimulates its ability to restore optimal function and heal itself.
Today, more people than ever before are seeking and benefiting from naturopathic medical care and the number of naturopathic doctors is growing at record rates to accommodate this increased demand. Currently there are naturopathic doctors practicing in every province and all but one territory in Canada. The more than 2,400 naturopathic doctors across the country continue to be an emerging answer to Canada’s health care concerns.

Investor "considering bid for Volvo"
Volvo could return to Swedish ownership, according to a report in the British media claiming that Wallenburg-controlled Investor is planning to table a bid for the car firm currently owned by America's Ford.
The Independent reported that Investor AB is considering a bid with a group of other investors.
Union organisations are said to be keen on a return to Swedish ownership, a factor which could help the Investor approach see off bids from other countries.
While Ford is continuing to state that Volvo is not for sale, Chief Executive Fredrik Arp did not rule out the possibility of "an auction".
A spokesman for Investor refused to comment on "market rumours and speculation" and Ford's European arm Premier Automotive Group also declined to comment.
Volvo is considered to be the most valuable asset within PAG, according to The Independent. Paul Newton, an analyst at consultancy firm Global Insight, told the paper that given "the amount of stories creeping out, there is no question that [Ford's] banks are trying to sell all of the PAG brand".
Investor is already deeply involved in the vehicle industry through its ownership of truck firm Scania, where it is the second largest shareholder after Germany's Volkswagen.
Despite Ford's repeated statements that Volvo Cars is not for sale, speculation has been rife. BMW has been labelled as a potential buyer and a few weeks ago Renault and AB Volvo, the truck and bus firm, were said to be lining up a bid.

A new JAMA Cardiology study revealed that while telemonitoring helps lower blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled hypertension, the results are not long lasting.
A recent study published by JAMA Network Open found that follow-up home blood pressure telemonitoring could help patients with uncontrolled hypertension lower their blood pressure in the short term. However researchers found that in the long term, those who received the intervention had similar results to those who got the standard of care.
In the study, researcher analyzed blood pressure changes from patients with uncontrolled hypertension over the course of multiple years. Researchers found that at the 12-month follow up, patients who received the intervention saw their mean blood pressure drop from a systolic blood pressure of 148 mm Hg at baseline to 125.7 mm Hg, compared to patients in the control group with the same baseline systolic blood pressure whose number dropped to 134.8 mm Hg after a year. However, after four-and-a-half years, the results narrowed between the two groups; at the 54-month follow up, patients who had received the intervention had a systolic blood pressure rate of 130.6 mm Hg, whereas the standard-of-care group had a mean of 132.6 mm Hg.
The study originally included 450 patients that were then split into two groups, with one receiving the telemonitoring intervention and the other receiving usual care. However, by the end of the trial, clinical blood pressure measurements were only obtained from 326 of the participants.
The clinical trial kicked off in 2009 and lasted until 2015 across 16 primary care clinics, according to the study. Participants all had uncontrolled blood pressure, which means ≥140/90 mm Hg or ≥130/80 mm Hg if the participant had diabetes.
Patients in the intervention group got a take-home automated oscillometric BP monitor, which was able to transmit their blood pressure data to a secure website. Patients in this group were instructed to measure their blood pressure at least six times a week. In the first six months intervention group patients also received a phone call from a pharmacists every two weeks or until their blood pressure was sustained for six weeks, according to the study. Additionally, during the next six months they got a phone call every two months. Patients in this group went back to the normal standard of care after 12-months.
Blood pressure is a popular topic in digital health. In fact, this morning Michigan State University announced a new blood pressure app that claims to give users an accurate reading on their iPhone. The team’s system is made up of an clip-on opitcal and force sensor and a smartphone. Earlier this year a concept of the system was published in Science Translation Medicine, according to a statement.
"By leveraging optical and force sensors already in smartphones for taking 'selfies' and employing 'peek and pop,' we've invented a practical tool to keep tabs on blood pressure,” lead researcher of the project Ramakrishna Mukkamala said in a statement. "Such ubiquitous blood pressure monitoring may improve hypertension awareness and control rates, and thereby help reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease and mortality."

Ah, the web. Look up ‘how to decaffeinate tea” and you will find breathless missives advocating infusing tea for 30 seconds or up to five minutes as the cheap, foolproof way to extract caffeine from tea. Nice myth. Or as tea expert /educator Bruce Richardson, owner of Elwood Teas, once wrote, “It was too good to be true.” (Based in Danville, Kentucky, Elmwood Teas also has a good selection of decaf teas.) So how is tea transformed from caff to decaf?
The advantage of this method is that there is no chemical residue and the catechins are not leached out with the caffeine (or not as much) as the ethyel acetate method. The taste is also not affected. Most high-end tea purveyors use this method. Harney and Sons has an impressive collection you can order online.
Although tea has less caffeine than coffee, if you don’t want the jingle jangle, try decaf. Just don’t fall for the web talk about doing it yourself.

In a standardised way, the researchers collected urine and hair on school children aged 6 to 12 and on their mothers (aged under 45). Schools and children contributed on a voluntary basis. The sample collection was carried out by experienced nurses from theProvincial Hygiene Institutes of Antwerp and Hainaut.
Those lifestyle factors may have an influence on the measured proportion in urine and hair and can be used to verify how the exposure happened.
In the period covering October 2011 up to and including February 2012, that fieldwork was carried out in a similar fashion in 17 European countries, namely Ireland, the UK, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Cyprus, Spain, Portugal, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Switzerland, Romania, Slovenia and Hungary.

Just before Willam Creek we took a detour East to the shore of Lake Eyre, to a primitive campground on the edge of the lake. The 60 km track to the lake was very rough with large corrugations (washboards). The lake is the lowest point in Australia being 15 meters (16 feet) below sea level. The lake was named by explorer Edward John Eyre when he discovered it in 1840 and for a long time it was considered to be permenantly dry. But infact it floods from time to time either due to water flowing in from the Gulf of Carpenteria or from local rain. On average it fills only 4 times a century.
We were a bit surprised to find 5 other vehicles/parties at the Halligan Bay, Eyre campground. The only facility was pit toilets.


text: Research statement: I provide scientific leadership for a cadre of dedicated USFS scientists and staff involved in the development of forest science and related applications that improve our understanding, monitoring, and management of northern forest ecosystems from Maine to Minnesota. A number of world-class research forests are maintained by this research unit, such as Hubbard Brook, that provide a plethora of opportunities for engaging partners (states, universities, NGOs) in research of mutual interest. In addition to my leadership of the research unit, impactful research assigned to me includes refining our quantification and understanding of the role of forest dead wood in forest stand dynamics, production, and carbon cycles. In addition to dead wood exploration, I investigate the refinement of forest stand dynamics metrics, such as stocking indices, to accommodate emerging theories of tree functional traits and related stand development processes. Finally, as a former Forest Inventory and Analysis scientist and Lead Scientist of the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory of US Forests, I identify ways to upscale research results from experimental forests to the population level with a focus on forest carbon accounting and management.

BUTTE VALLEY — For 58 minutes on Saturday, the Butte College football team was on top of its game en route to another runaway victory, this time 53-24 over College of the Redwoods.
What happened during those other two, though, has the Roadrunners still feeling there’s room for improvement for California’s second-ranked JC squad.
Collin Ramirez continued his fine early-season campaign with 270 passing yards and two touchdowns and every Roadrunner unit produced a score in the rout at Cowan Stadium that moved Butte to 4-0.
And yet the vibe from the club post-game, while obviously pleased with the result, was one of slight disappointment; with several corrections, things could have feasibly been much better. Butte fumbled the ball five times, losing three of them and watching two get returned for touchdowns, and the Roadrunners gave up 21 points in 99 seconds near the end of the first half to the Corsairs (0-4), a team that had scored 20 the entire season. Redwoods put together 24 unanswered points to cut into what was a 33-0 Butte lead before the Roadrunners righted the ship and then sailed to another wide margin.
Points flowed freely for the home team, playing its first matchup at Cowan this season, for the first period and a half as Butte’s offense, defense and special teams each put the ball in the end zone in the first quarter. Donzale Ashley’s scoop-and-score of Mycal Swaim’s blocked punt at the Redwoods 24 got the Roadrunners on the board on the Corsairs’ first possession of the game, and Tromaine Dennis later scored on a 2-yard touchdown run. Defensive back Willie Creear completed the touchdown trifecta when Redwoods’ snap to backup quarterback Sam Fisk sailed over his head and all the way back into the end zone, where Creear pounced on it for the score.
Then, things got dicey. Redwoods drove and scored on Ronn Schruefer’s 12-yard pass to Aubrey Reed, innocuously enough, to make it 33-7. But Brandon Noland fumbled the following kickoff and Ralph Marks picked it up at the 49, returning it for a touchdown, and Derick Seward lost the handle on Butte’s very next possession. Though he appeared to be down well before the ball popped out, no whistles blew and Jeff Daceus was all too willing to take that fumble back for six as well.
Needless to say, the halftime break couldn’t come sooner for Butte.
Still, Butte had the answers in the second half, limiting the Corsairs to just three points the rest of the way as the Roadrunners rebuilt a four-score lead; it was the fourth time in as many games this year that Butte has gone over the 40-point threshold. Dennis was limited to 57 yards rushing and fumbled, an off-day for a back averaging well over 100 yards per game, but he reached the end zone twice, as did wideout Nick Lonnegren, who had touchdown catches of 37 and 15 yards from Ramirez, the state’s top-ranked passer. Butte got backfield support from Seward, who had 52 yards, and Cameron Mikell, who added 46 yards on just six carries. Few Roadrunners expressed anything but the need to tidy things up henceforth.
Nikolai Vasquez hit a pair of 43-yard field goals in the third quarter and reserve tailback Josh Brown added a 6-yard touchdown run at the end of the game to round out Butte’s scoring. One factor Jordan expressed pleasure with was that the Roadrunners showed resolve throughout, recovering from a rapid flurry of Redwoods scores to sustain success over the second half.

Williamsburg Unitarian Universalists have been committed to environmental justice since the congregation’s inception 30 years ago. WUU was certified as a “Green Sanctuary” in 2012. A building expansion in 2017 included renewable power, but unfortunately the construction budget left no room for a solar power system. In spring of 2018, momentum began building for adding this system. Initial goals were more modest: find a system that could supply half of the building’s power use.
A Solar Power Task Force found a way to make our funding go farther. The federal tax credits of up to 30% of solar power installations haven’t been available to not-for-profit and religious organizations, but new regulations in Virginia allow these organizations to sign Power Purchase Agreements with solar providers. Our agreement with Convert Solar has the company installing and owning the system for 10 years (and receiving the tax credits), after which time ownership transfers to us, thereby generating enough solar power to equal all of our annual needs at only 75% of the original cost.
In the fall, the congregation shifted into fundraising mode, and donations matched the excitement. Many members “sponsored a panel” with $500 donations, others became “IllUUminators” ($1000 or more) or even “Grand IllUUminators” ($5000 or more). People gave for many reasons: climate change, a legacy for our youngest members, or financial reasons. The congregation raised the needed funds in just a few months and was ready for installation.
In February Convert Solar installed a solar array of 120 panels, and in March Dominion installed a net meter. The panels are warrantied to last 25 years; saving more than a million pounds of carbon dioxide from being emitted.
Although the solar power project has been a major undertaking, it tapped into a deep reservoir of commitment to environmental justice at WUU. In this effort, we learned a clear lesson: never underestimate the depth of engagement a group of people can achieve when presented with a compelling opportunity to do right by our world.

Dilmun as written in Sumerian Paradise Mith Tablets, is discribed as a beautiful, pure and brilliant country with wide green fields and fruit gardens where there is no illness, senility or death. There is also no wildness; animals do not hunt and eat each other. Dilmun is an excellent place where there is pure happiness and peace. Halki Theological School is located on a hill called Hill of Hope - a hill surrounded by water, in an island. That situation contributes to strengthen the impression of the works as helping to imagine such an utopic place where there is pure love and peace.
This exhibition Looking For Dilmun is a preliminary one of an exhibition series after making almost five years of contemplate. Because, the image of paradise carries lots of concepts in it; (such as looking for eternity, rebellion, refusion, struggle, renovation, sense of belonging, immigration, new lands, hope, desperation, degeneracy, estrangement, decompassion, corruption, regeneration etc.) ; the exhibition Looking For Dilmun as its title imlies; makes references to a journey.

Transforming growth factor-β1/Smad/connective tissue growth factor axis: The main pathway in radiation-induced fibrosis of osteoradionecrosis?
Introduction: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the mandible is a serious complication following radiation therapy for malignancies of the head and neck. Radiation-induced fibrosis (RIF) is a new theory that accounts for the damage to normal tissues after radiotherapy, and the radiation-induced fibroatrophic mechanism includes the free-radical formation, endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, microvascular thrombosis, fibrosis and remodeling, and finally bone and tissue necrosis. The Hypothesis: Previous studies revealed that transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is the master switch cytokine responsible for the regulation of fibroblast proliferation and differentiation that result in RIF. Among the targets of TGF-β1, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a downstream mediator through the Smad3/4 pathway and plays an important role in connective tissue homeostasis and fibroblast proliferation. Studies have proved that the TGF-β1/Smad/CTGF signaling pathway is involved in the RIF of soft tissues, so the authors put forward a hypothesis that the TGF-β1/Smad/CTGF axis is also the main pathway in RIF of ORN. Evaluation of the Hypothesis: The validation of our hypothesis may provide new insights for better understanding the pathogenesis of ORN and open new perspectives for anti-fibrotic therapies, and pioneer novel approaches to treat ORN.
Numerous cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1, platelet-derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, and TGF-β1 have been reported to be increased within irradiated tissue.  TGF-β1 is the master switch cytokine  responsible for the regulation of fibroblast proliferation and differentiation ,, that result in RIF. , Expression of TGF-β after radiation is a consistent finding. TGF-β levels are increased as early as 6 h after irradiation and remain elevated in fibrotic lesions as long as 20 years. , TGF-β has chemotactic properties to recruit neutrophils and activate macrophages. Activated macrophages can secrete an array of cytokines, including TGF-β itself, which can stimulate fibroblasts to secrete matrix proteins that may well lead toward fibrosis.
Members of the TGF-β superfamily bind to two distinct receptor types, known as Type II and Type I receptors. , Both Type II and Type I receptors are required for signal transduction. Type I receptors act as downstream components of Type II receptors in the signaling pathways and determine the specificity of the intracellular signals. Of the seven Type I receptors, the activin receptor-like kinase-5, also known as TβR-I, serves as a specific receptor for TGF-βs.
ORN of the jaw is a metabolic dysfunction in irradiated bones where radioactive rays affect the differentiation from hematopoietic stem cells and osteoprecursors , into endothelial cells and osteoblasts, and activate myofibroblasts through kinds of cytokines, especially of TGF-β1. After RT, the endothelial cells are injured. Injured endothelial cells produce chemotactic cytokines that trigger an acute inflammatory response and then generate a further release of reactive oxygen species from polymorphs and other phagocytes. The destruction of endothelial cells, coupled with vascular thrombosis, lead to necrosis of microvessels, local ischemia, and tissue loss. Loss of the natural endothelial cell barrier allows seepage of various cytokines that cause fibroblasts to become myofibroblasts.  Degeneration of normal bone tissues and excessive formation of pathologically fibrotic tissues result in inactive and fragile bone, also called ORN. RIF is a new theory that accounts for the damage to normal tissues after RT.  The theory of RIF suggests that the key event in the progression of ORN is the activation and dysregulation of fibroblastic activity that leads to fibrosis and remodeling, and finally tissue atrophy and bone necrosis within a previously irradiated area. TGF-β1 is today considered a primary inducer of tissue fibrosis including RIF.  Its fibrogenic signal is mediated through two TGF-specific serine/threonine kinase receptors, downstream activation of the Smad3/4 pathway and subsequent transactivation of various genes including the CTGF and ECM molecules. CTGF is a fibrogenic cytokine in radiation fibrosis and thought to be the main downstream fibrogenic effector of TGF-β1 because it controls both fibronectin and collagen gene expression  and collagen deposition. TGF-β1/Smad/CTGF signaling pathway is demonstrated to play a role in fibrosis induction in the corpus cavernosum of diabetic models and maintenance of radiation enteritis. Since the TGF-β1/Smad/CTGF signaling pathway is involved in the RIF of soft tissues, so the authors hypothesize that the TGF-β1/Smad/CTGF axis is the main pathwayin RIF of ORN.
As described above, TGF-β1/Smad/CTGF axis plays an important role in the RIF of soft tissues; as in bone tissue, RIF is the radiation-induced fibroatrophic mechanism of ORN, in which the study of TGF-β1/Smad/CTGF axis is still blank. We believe that TGF-β1/Smad/CTGF axis plays the main role in the ORN. The methods to testify our hypothesis are technically feasible. In vitro studies should be performed at first. Cells pertaining to osteogenesis, such as osteoblasts, can be obtained and cultured. In the experiment group, the TGF-β1/Smad/CTGF axis is blocked. All these cells will be irradiated and subsequently, a series of assays will be conducted for cell proliferation, apoptosis, collagen synthesis, and so on. On the basis of in vitro experiments, in vivo studies in animals can be performed. The validation of our hypothesis will provide new insights for better understanding the pathogenesis of ORN and open new perspectives for anti-fibrotic therapies. Targeting the TGF-β1/Smad/CTGF pathway may become a novel therapeutic approach to treat ORN, and may even help providing valid protection against the occurrence of ORN.

We see college admissions exams such as the SAT as a critical tool – not a barrier – for our students, parents and teachers, as well as college admissions officers. Teachers and counselors in Patterson Joint Unified are provided with SAT data, which can be used to inform them how best to support students in reaching their academic goals. When our students take the SAT, they can be connected to college application fee waivers, Khan Academy’s official free, personalized test practice and extensive scholarship opportunities.
The way to ensure authentic equity in college admissions is to give all students the support and tools they need to pursue their college and career ambitions.
When college admissions tests are offered during the school day, instead of Saturday mornings when some students would be working, more students are able to achieve their fullest potential.
When school districts are working to level the field, that includes making sure all students have the support and accommodations they need. English learners taking the SAT are always provided appropriate accommodations, including access to testing instructions in their primary language, bilingual glossaries and, more recently, extended testing time.
All students with exceptional needs are given appropriate accommodations on the SAT as identified by their personal education team.
Leaders in the college admissions community recognize college admissions tests are an important part of a holistic admission process – one that considers test scores as one factor among many that can show a students’ true potential for success. But college admission is just one component of these exams’ utility.
College admissions exams provide highly useful data for teachers and administrators, not just admissions officers. College admissions tests are used nationwide as a complement to grades, in order to reliably predict college and career success and student achievement across socio-economic status, race and ethnicity without bias or potential inflation.
Patterson is diverse, inclusive and proud. Increasing access to important college admissions tests like the SAT – at no cost to the students – means Patterson Joint Unified students from every walk of life can seek their college and career dreams. This is an approach many districts across California are taking as we endeavor to provide students the tools they need to succeed.
Philip M. Alfano, Ed. D, is superintendent of Patterson Joint Unified School District.

"Every time we went to a hospital they told us she had worms and bacteria. We couldn’t get anywhere and we are poor people and can't go to Sanaa or anywhere else," Jamila's father, Ali Abdu, told AP.
Dr. Awsan al-Aariqi, who was part of the team attempting to treat Jamila, said medical personnel did everything they could.
“The main cause of malnutrition for this child is that she's been suffering from diarrhea for about two or three years, without any sort of diagnosis...we started treating her according to the protocol for treating malnourished children, but for this child, unfortunately, there was no response to the treatment,” he said.
Jamila's story is far from unique, however. In fact, at least one child dies every 10 minutes due to preventable diseases such as diarrhea, malnutrition, and respiratory tract infections, according to the agency.
"We have seen many tragedies like Jamila's every day. We know currently almost 7 million Yemenis are facing severe food insecurity, which means they don't know where their next meal will come from," Sherin Varkey, UNICEF's deputy representative to Yemen, told RT.
He went on to state that families are making "life and death choices" such as deciding whether to invest in treating a sick child or feeding their healthy children.
"The situation is getting worse and time is running out for the children in Yemen," Varkey said.
In addition to hunger, malnutrition and disease, innocent Yemenis are falling victim to the ongoing violence in the country, with the Saudi-led coalition being blamed for civilian deaths due to airstrikes. However, the coalition has refuted claims that it has targeted innocent people.
More than 10,000 people are estimated to have been killed since the start of Saudi Arabia's intervention in Yemen, according to the UN.

How to add a remote instance to a BRstudio. Both the remote BRTools server to be added and the BRStudio are on different windows platform .
We are able to connect to the local server directly . But what we face is, when we tried using the PLink connection we was not able to connect to another remote server. this is the command we have given in the (Remote) Shell parameter during the addition of the instance like "plink -ssh <sid>adm@<sys-name> -pw password" .
I gave it a short try, but wasn't able to get it to work properly.
the problem is solved ... I installed the SSH and created a admin user and connected it.
and then I restarted the instance in BRStudio .. its working fine..
