4,365,008,024,710,050,000	Sports Briefing \| Colleges Diggins Carries Irish, Spoiling Lady Vols’ Night Skylar Diggins had one of the best performances of her brilliant career. Diggins, a senior guard, scored a career-high 33 points as No. 2 Notre Dame beat No. 9 Tennessee, 77-67, for its 14th straight victory. Diggins’s big performance spoiled Tennessee’s celebration of the former Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt, who had a banner raised in her honor at Thompson-Boling Arena before the game. ¶ The Big East Conference wants to add a member and may sign a television package that includes multiple networks, Commissioner Mike Aresco said, adding that the league wanted to keep its name as it rebranded. Aresco said the league no longer had plans to expand farther west than Texas. A version of this article appears in print on , Section B, Page 12 of the New York edition with the headline: Diggins Carries Irish, Spoiling Lady Vols’ Night.

More news Jet JDP-12 12-Inch Drill Press Reviews If you are looking for a compact drill press for accurate drilling, then the Jet JDP-12 12-Inch Drill Press can easily be in your consideration. This drill press will amuse you with some advanced features. The Jet company that started the Jet machine line is over 50 years old. The original owner was so enamored with the concept of a jet airplane that he took a trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan. Then, they focused on also making power tools. Coming with the idea of the drill press and another woodworking tool, this Jet JDP-12 is their later machine. As like the other models, JET 354170/JDP-20 MF and JET 354165 JDP-15M, this tool have some significance for better drilling. [amzlink url=”https://amzn.to/2F3pk0t” text=”Check Latest Price”] Jet JDP-12 12-Inch Drill Press Review The Jet JDP-12 drill press comes with excellent adjustment option, efficient laser and lamp system. these features will not only make your drilling accurate but also will let you easily complete the operations. There are some other significant features comes with this power tool. Find out more in below. Adjustable Speed and Chuck Jet JDP-12 12-Inch Drill Press- Adjustable Speed and ChuckThings like being able to adjust the speed to the exact speed you want on a continual basis. Drill speed is shown on a nice large digital display on the front of the JDP-12. You can easily change the variable speed during drilling for better accuracy control with this drill press. The drill chuck is 5/8 as like some other drill presses like the shop fox w1668. This chuck size is nice and larger than comparable models that have smaller 1/2 drill chucks. So, you can work with woods with the chuck size and have decent holes with this drill press. To learn more on the jet jwdp-12 review, you can go further. Innovative X-shaped Xacta laser The drill press comes with an X-shaped Xacta laser for better accuracy in drilling. This nicest feature of the laser crosshairs will show the exact point where the drill will enter the material. So, you can have better knowledge of the drilling during intensive operation. I love the control and preciseness of this drill press. It’s a feature I thought was a marketing ploy but after using a JET JDP-12 with the laser, I am a convert. It takes all the guesswork out of the drilling process. Some may find adjusting the laser bit difficult. He can easily utilize the jet jdp 12 manual for learning better adjustment. Another plus is that the laser process with the 120VAC power just like the drill press so the laser never needs new batteries and the projected cross hairs are always crisp and never dim because of low batteries. Roller Extension and C-Clamps Jet JDP-12 12-Inch Drill Press- Roller Extension and C-ClampsThe drill press table even comes with a roller extension that extends up to 16.5. Having extra support for the materials for drilling not only makes the accuracy better but makes the process safer too. So, you will be out of any incidental danger with this bench top drill press. You don’t need wood blocks with this DP. Because the flat area from the edge is over 1. So, there will be plenty of room for placing C-clamps or bar clamps. That means you will not be tempted to take the shortcut off not properly clamping the material properly before beginning drilling. Magnetic Light for Low Light Condition In the past, I have bought magnetic lights to attach to my drill press in order to be able to see clearly. That’s not needed on the JDP-12 because it comes standard with a built-in LED task light. This magnetic light system is nice since the vibration on regular incandescent bulbs shortens their life. The LED task light included will last for years and years. 1/3 HP Motor for Woodworking The power and performance got me first when I started this jet jwdp-12 review. Well, I am well satisfied with the power. The motor is a 1/3 horsepower which is fine unless you expect to be hogging out some really large holes using a spade bit. For 99.99% of woodworkers out there, that will be no problem at all. That in conjunction with a nice 12 swing and all the included features makes the Jet JDP-12 drill press on of the most popular machines used in today’s woodworking shops. Built Quality and Safety of Jet JDP-12 Jet JDP-12 12-Inch Drill Press- Roller Extension and C-ClampsI was really surprised with the built quality of this benchtop drill press. It comes with a great quality of construction to last long. Also, the tool weighs almost 90 pounds so you might need some help moving it into position. The sturdy built quality of the drill press is world famous. They are without a doubt a leader when it comes to their woodworking line and their Jet Drill Press line is just one example of the quality they build into each one of their machines. Speaking of safety, the drill press table has a nice flat area on the bottom of the JDP-12 table so clamping the material is fast and easy to do. >> Check Out The Specifications and User Reviews << Pros: • Comes with excellent built quality to serve a long time • Comes with 1/3 HP motor that is decent for woodworking • Has a laser guide system to help you for accurate drilling • The finishing of this drill press is excellent • The jet jdp-12 parts are from sturdy material for reliability • The jet jdp-12 manual is easy to understand Cons: • Adjusting the laser system can be bit difficult for some user Final Thought One of the nice things about the JDP12 Jet drill press is that it comes with a lot of features. Some of them are not available in other same prince range drill press machines. I love the performance and size of this top class drill press. You will have all the great features, that will help you to have excellent woodworking experience. also, you will have an excellent machine for the accuracy in drilling holes. With reviewing all the features, it is safe to say, this is a great mid-range drill press for woodworking. The price is perfect for the excellent and efficient features it provides.

The new technology has changed their dance moves—and their lives. Note: Click the “CC” icon at the bottom-right of the player to toggle English subtitles. Every evening in Anshan Town, a rural village in China’s Shandong province, around 25 middle-aged women gather in the small public square to dance to the Black Eyed Peas’ “My Humps,” among other songs. For 90 minutes, the women move in unison to Chinese and Western remixes of hip-hop, pop, and rock-and-roll, while their children and grandchildren play at the edge of the plaza. By dancing in the public square, the troupe claims one of the few visible communal spaces in town—both physically and through blasting their music. I first saw the town’s square-dancing troupe perform when I was in Anshan Town doing research on social media use in rural China as part of a global comparative project. In 2013 and 2014, I discovered that people in the town use social media to support existing social relationships—but also to connect with strangers in new ways, which is how users remake their lives in the social landscape. Chinese square dancing—that is, dancing in a public square, not western U.S. square dancing—has become a well-established national craze in urban areas since it started in the mid-1990s. It finally hit Anshan Town in early 2013. But for the women in the town who started the dance group, the movement has a larger meaning. They are pioneers. Although most of them emphasize the social and health benefits of square dancing, I found that this daily routine is also a spectacle of local power. Many of these women are members of the town’s elite families. For example, the troupe’s leader serves as secretary of the village’s branch of the Chinese Communist Party Women’s Federation. Taking over the public square reinforces their place in the town’s hierarchy—and expands it. The troupe’s political goals point to the role of women in China today. Dancing in public challenges a persistent expectation—even more prevalent in rural areas—that females ought to focus their attention on household matters. Despite decades of Communist Party rhetoric and reforms aimed at creating gender parity in the labor force, these attitudes persist and influence where women can go and with whom they can socialize. In the case of Anshan Town, before this dance troupe formed, participants met at each other’s homes to play cards. While gathering is almost always socially empowering, meeting in public and putting on expressive dance moves takes this group’s visibility to new heights. In addition, social media encourages these women’s freedom from the household and traditional gender roles by providing a digital space that complements their use of public space. Using Chinese social media platforms for the “backstage work,” the dancers choose songs, share dance moves, and spread rehearsal schedules to group members. This closed online space also provides a comfortable venue for discussing the frustrations of domestic life—concerns that otherwise might have gone unspoken. Highly adapted to their complex political and social environments, these women’s use of social media provides an avenue for increasing both their social connections and their social standing. And it shows how humans can use new technologies to reconfigure their lives—which is a remarkable thing to say about both square dancing and “My Humps.” Technology / / / / / Republish With License	# Conair Complete Care Door Pad – GDPP1C Item # L0245743 Price $19.99 Availability In Stock (222 items) ## Overview - Adjustable Press Pad for Garments - Can be used with Conair garment steamers and Conair clothing irons - Full size press pad that is great for travel and office - Converts down to a very compact foot print for easy storage - Detachable aluminium stems connect with centre piece equipped with convenient hanger hook - Perfect for use with garment steaming and ironing.

Because I no longer had access easily. I could seek it out if I wanted to, but I don’t want to. My life has gotten infinitely better since I quit doing coke. I can offer you my support, though, if only anonymously. You can find the strength within you to quit, you just have to want it. And trust me, you don’t truly want it if you keep going back. Maybe ask yourself why? Just know that there are people here that have been in your shoes and we are here to talk. You will be okay. 3. Dominica Dominica Author, Writer, Recovery Advocate Community Listener @Ahead Addiction works that way. You don't want to do it, but your brain is used to getting that dopamine boost when you do use. Your brain has made a connection between, "oh my gosh this feeling is amazing" and the drug you used, and unfortunately the brain can win out over your thoughts of not wanting to use. I do think that seeing an addiction specialist or therapist can help you. There are certainly things you can do as well, like educating yourself about addiction and Recovery, perhaps attending a support group like Narcotics Anonymous or smart recovery, there's always a treatment program, and so on. Change is a process and there are stages. You're wanting to quit and you're thinking about it and you're trying. That's all part of the change process. If you're not able to quit using your willpower, then create a new plan and try different things. What works for one might not work for another, so navigate your own unique recovery path. If there are areas of your life where you're not happy or satisfied, start thinking about how you can change those around as well. Sometimes we just need help, so feel free to reach out to a specialist that can offer you somehow. Of course we're here to listen and offer our insight and advice. We are rooting for you and we want the best for you! Don't give up!

Like @Dominica said, your brain has learned that the high you get from cocaine is damn nice. But with commitment and hard work, and, preferably, some professional help, you can learn to be clean and sober. I'm proud of you for coming here and admitting your problem. That's a huge first step. Now think about reaching out for help. Whether it's support group meetings (Narcotics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, SMART Recovery), seeing an addiction specialist (you can find one here: https://www.abam.net/find-a-doctor/), or seeking treatment (you can call the number at the top of this page), start by doing something that might help you. In order to find sobriety, you need to keep taking steps in the right direction. We are here to provide another form of support for you, so please don't hesitate to reach out anytime you'd like. We care and we are behind you 100 percent. Sending you lots of positive energy, encouragement, and hope. True concern and Ahead like this. 5. Ahead Ahead Member Thank you for the replies. I don’t think I’m at the point where I need professional help. That’s exactly what I’m trying to avoid. My issue is that I can see the addiction growing in me and I can even feel it. I physically and mentally crave it now. Ive been using around 3-4 times a month for 5 months. I’m also depressed because of the financial toll it’s taking. I’ve come to this forum because nobody knows about my secret demons and I just feel like I need to talk and get advice and support here. True concern and deanokat like this. 6. deanokat deanokat DrugAbuse.com Community Organizer Community Listener I get where you're coming from, but the fact that you can see the addiction growing in you might be the exact reason why professional help would be a good thing. For most people, it's much easier to overcome an addiction with help than it is to do it alone. My personal opinion would be to get help before your problem gets even worse. But, of course, that's a decision that's completely up to you. We are here for you no matter what route you choose to go. True concern likes this. 7. Ahead Ahead Member Yeah you have a point.

In order to find sobriety, you need to keep taking steps in the right direction. We are here to provide another form of support for you, so please don't hesitate to reach out anytime you'd like. We care and we are behind you 100 percent. Sending you lots of positive energy, encouragement, and hope. 5. Ahead (Member) Thank you for the replies. I don’t think I’m at the point where I need professional help. That’s exactly what I’m trying to avoid. My issue is that I can see the addiction growing in me and I can even feel it. I physically and mentally crave it now. I’ve been using around 3–4 times a month for 5 months. I’m also depressed because of the financial toll it’s taking. I’ve come to this forum because nobody knows about my secret demons and I just feel like I need to talk and get advice and support here. 6. deanokat (Community Organizer, Community Listener) I get where you're coming from, but the fact that you can see the addiction growing in you might be the exact reason why professional help would be a good thing. For most people, it's much easier to overcome an addiction with help than it is to do it alone. My personal opinion would be to get help before your problem gets even worse. But, of course, that's a decision that's completely up to you. We are here for you no matter what route you choose to go. 7. Ahead (Member) Yeah you have a point. As of now I have officially quit using. I’m going to try myself cold turkey. I will post updates on this thread regarding my journey. I can’t let this get any worse. I’ve deleted my dealer’s number and am prepared to give this everything I have. 8. deanokat (Community Organizer, Community Listener) Good for you, @Ahead. Come and lean on us whenever you'd like. 9. Ahead (Member) Well it’s been a few days and I’m going strong. Actually told my close friends and family about my struggle (those who already knew I was an occasional user) last night and they’re supportive. Going in the right direction. 10. Dominica (Author, Writer, Recovery Advocate, Community Listener) @Ahead So happy to hear this!! You are going in the right direction and that feels good, huh? Know that we are here to support you however we can. 11. deanokat (Community Organizer, Community Listener) Proud of you, @Ahead! And I'm happy you shared your struggle with some others. It's great to have that support on your side. Just keep going! 12. True concern (Community Champion) @peachydust I remember your initial post and I will be honest.... I’m so proud of you even if it took moving to get your head clear you absolutely made the correct choice... you’re awesome :) 13. deanokat (Community Organizer, Community Listener) Hey, @Ahead... How are you doing, my friend? It's been a while since we've heard from you. Hope things are still going well for you. Remember: We are always here. And we care! 14. Teetee (Active Contributor) Sounds exactly like me last week, trust me I used to think like this a few years ago and now I became a huge addict with thousands and thousands of dollars down the drain, so yes the financial issue can be bad, but be thankful you're alive, be thankful you won't die in this state—sadly many people do. May God ease their souls. But we are fortunate guys like you and me who have got a chance in life again. I was a huge addict since 2014, I just quit last week. How you doing since, man?	2,218	1,901	-4,165,366,106,022,003,700	concat	[ "concat_full" ]	0.75	true	null
5,512,409,257,473,470,000	UPDATE TO THIS STORY: Effective with 2010 tax returns, the Iowa Earned Income Credit is simply 7% of the federal Earned Income Credit. No re-calculations are necessary. For you brave souls who wish to see how the Iowa Earned Income Credit was calculated prior to 2010, keep reading! Iowa offers a form of Earned Income Credit, but the calculation of the credit can be quite complex. At first glance, the calculation seems straightforward – the Iowa Earned Income Credit is 7% of whatever your federal Earned Income Credit is. But that only applies to certain taxpayers who: • Filed a joint federal return, have no qualifying children, and income of $5,980 or less. • Filed a joint federal return, with 1 qualifyingchild, and income of $8,970 or less. • Filed a joint federal return with 2 qualifying children, and income of $12,590 or less. • Did not file a joint return and have no more than 2 qualifying children. All other taxpayers will have to re-calculate their earned income credit based on formulas provided for different scenarios in the instructions to the Iowa Form 1040. Some people who qualify for the EIC on their federal returns will find that they don’t qualify for any Iowa EIC at all. Also, same-sex married couples who qualify for the EIC on their “single” federal tax returns will probably find that they don’t qualify for the Iowa EIC, either, because same-sex couples have to re-calculate their federal EIC based on what it would have been if the couple had filed a joint federal return. Headache-inducing re-calculations such as this is just one of the many reasons why Iowa consistenly ranks in the bottom-10 in terms of tax climate (Iowa ranked 42nd in individual tax climate in the most-recent study conducted by the Tax Foundation).

No re-calculations are necessary. For those interested in how the Iowa EIC was calculated prior to 2010, see below. --- ## Pre-2010 Calculation Iowa offers a form of Earned Income Credit, but the calculation can be complex. At first glance, it seems straightforward – the Iowa EIC is 7% of your federal EIC. However, that simplified rule applies only to taxpayers who meet all of the following: - Filed a joint federal return, have no qualifying children, and income of \$5,980 or less - Filed a joint federal return with 1 qualifying child, and income of \$8,970 or less - Filed a joint federal return with 2 qualifying children, and income of \$12,590 or less - Did not file a joint return and have no more than 2 qualifying children All other taxpayers must re-calculate their Iowa EIC using the formulas in the instructions to Iowa Form 1040. Some federal EIC recipients may not qualify for any Iowa EIC. Similarly, same-sex married couples who claimed the federal EIC on “single” returns must first re-compute their federal EIC as if they’d filed jointly to determine Iowa eligibility. --- # Easy Cycle Trail The majority of this trail runs along forest roads. There are some unsurfaced paths, but it is relatively flat. Suitable for families.

Their equipment looked top notch. Goggles with full spectrum vision. Adjustable face masks with built-in oxygen packs. Augmented braces on their arms and legs to allow them to move quicker and stronger. They were decked out more like a military unit. All brand new, the latest design. Ubik could tell from a glance that nothing was very likely to break from age or overuse. His only hope was that the software was so new it might crash. New gear always suffered from unoptimised software until the second or third update patch. Ubik ran. He had the home ground advantage, but they had every other advantage. All of them. What did they want? There was plenty to share. It wasn’t like Ubik was the type to keep everything for himself. They were welcome to help themselves. But their focus was decidedly on him. He had the communicators, and he hadn’t even taken all of them. He’d picked up a couple of fuel cells, but they were common as muck. No way that was what they were after. Did they just plan to teach him a lesson? Release a little tension by beating the snot out of a competitor? His childhood on the streets of Epsilon City had taught him that big men liked to prove their power by stamping on the faces of anyone who was smaller than them. They usually received applause for the display of prowess, and if they were on the police force, a regular wage. Ubik could have gone that way, used his skills to power his revenge. Big men looked a lot smaller when faced with the true power of technology. Organics could turn anyone into a beast. Electronics could too, if they were used right.

To pick up something that shouldn’t have been thrown out, perhaps, or something that was smuggled out via a junk ship, to be collected when no one was looking. Could the devices in his bag be what they were looking for? He could dump them and hope it gave him the chance to escape, but he didn’t have time to mess around. They might be pros, but he was a goddam genius. Ubik made it to the top of a small mountain of crumpled robot legs. He had no idea what they had come from, robots that now had brand new legs, presumably. The gradient slowed his escape so his hunters were able to catch up. They would have caught him anyway, he was merely making it quicker for them. They wouldn’t stop to think why he would do that, they would assume he was an idiot and that they were the geniuses. Wrong. Ubik turned and threw a handful of shiny discs down at his pursuers. They were busy fighting with each other in an attempt to get to him first. They probably had a bet going to see who could make the kill, just to make things interesting for themselves. When the discs struck them, they paused, mildly alarmed. “Identify,” shouted one. “Nothing,” said another. “Shows as brass. He’s throwing buttons at us.” The kind of gear they were employing was very accurate and able to identify the composition of an object in less than a standard second. What it was less good at was being able to understand how a seemingly inert substance might react when combined with another seemingly inert object. Mixing two properties to find a third was a lost art these days. Sodium was explosive when exposed to water. Chlorine was highly toxic. Put them together and you got table salt. It worked the other way around, too. Ubik stuck the red rod in the top of the mound and flipped the lid. The buttons he’d thrown all popped. The electronics around them went dead. Brass had an unusual property that not many people knew about. It was an old metal amalgam that no one used these days, except maybe for buttons on fancy military outfits. When vibrated at the correct frequency, it powered down fuel cells. Not all types, just the modern ones that were currently the most popular. The brass absorbed the energy, and then it exploded. The explosion wasn’t dangerous, just a toy pop gun loud. The loss of power could be fatal. “No power,” shouted one of the scavs. “Dead tronics,” called out another. Two were on the ground, unable to move. Their implants had been fitted directly into their muscles, leaving them crippled, at least until they found a way to recharge. But one scav remained standing. He didn’t look affected at all. In fact, he looked stronger now than he had a second ago. His body looked bigger and his hair was standing on end from some kind of static discharge. An organic. Why would anyone send an organic to a junkyard? Didn’t they have something better to do with their time? Ubik decided it would be impolite to ask and ran down the other side of Mount Rubbish. He heard the footsteps crunching metal into scrap behind him. It was obviously a strength-type organic, but that didn’t mean they didn’t have additional augmentations. Flying, telepathy, firing eye-lasers… if you’re going to send an organic to pick up junk, why not send a military grade assassin? It made no sense, but that was because Ubik wasn’t familiar with the ways of modern society. He was more of a stay at home type. Downhill was quicker if you allowed gravity to do the work for you. Ubik had the cloth out and dived onto it. He skidded towards the rusted remains of a boat, half-sticking out like it was in the middle of capsizing. Ubik jumped, leaving his cloth to carry on without him. It was a useful tool that he’d had for a while, but needless emotional attachments would only get you killed. Repair and recycle, yes. Cling beyond reason, no. He landed in the middle of the boat’s rotting skeleton and ran, barely keeping his balance. There was a deep shaft here, one he hadn’t explored completely yet. Now seemed as good a time as any. He jumped into the hole without checking for obstructions. The shaft was a vertical drop but wide enough for Ubik to touch the sides with hands and feet. It enabled him to slow his fall. He looked down to see if he was about to impale himself. Then he looked up and saw red goggle-lenses bearing down on him. The goggles weren’t working anymore, so the red glow had to be coming from his eyes. The scav had jumped in head-first and was dropping free-fall. Gravity had taken sides, and it wasn’t on Ubik’s. Ubik pulled in his arms and legs and plummeted. “I don’t know what you want,” Ubik shouted up. “I don’t have anything. Here, have this explosive device.” He threw a ball towards the red-eyed pursuer. Ubik didn’t have any explosive devices, but the scav didn’t know that. He twisted and slammed against the shaft walls in panic. The ball didn’t shoot past him, of course, it fell at the same rate he did. It had green numbers counting down on it. Ubik had found people considered numbers counting down to be very upsetting, especially if you shouted, “Bomb!” first. While the scav slammed and smashed to a stop, clinging to the walls, letting the ball fall away, Ubik looked down and waited to see where he was going to end up. Chapters one week ahead on Patreon.

Email address has been removed. Media has been removed. 1. Pjump Pjump Senior Member Verified Member ECF Veteran Apr 3, 2015 York, UK Ok so i recently made my little Hana clone with a genuine DNA 40 and so decided to buy myself a Squape R clone to use on it. as a novice to the world of RBA/RTA/RDA's this was my first foray and i thought I'd give my opinions/review/thoughts 1st making the clone - I'm not a novice with soldering and so i found the board easy to work with as long as i had the guide in front of me to work it all out. The Cigabuy Hana Enclosure was good as well with reasonable switches DNAsled etc. BUT.... the 510 connector is crap! i had to fit it in with a hammer, its centre pin (non adjustable) catches and shorts on my aerotank when screwed on fully and to even get that far i had to modify it by removing the white plastic insulating ring and replace it with 2 sizes of heat shrink on top of each other. other than that i put the up and down buttons in the wrong way round - but i'm leaving that element of stupidity as it makes it mine. the Squape R clone or Traingle windows atomizer as it is from fast tech, .... Fasttech takes ages BLAH BLAH BLAH ..... ok so it seems well made, no leaks from the windows no shorts on the deck, good click on the airflow, but, neither the w or c decks fit the thing, at all, and i'm not hammering it in!! so thats the bits about the equipment now onto vaping, 1) wrapping coils is a PITA to start with! it looks easy, everyone makes it seem easy, but its fricken not every coil i wrapped was more like a spring than a coil! 2) when i started i had no idea how much is a reasonable wick, either using too much and it looking like a rabbit ran into a mousehole or when juiced in, looking like a bedraggled pathetic thing on the deck dead. 3) It was easier to make a coil with Nickel than Kanthal 4) once i had a coil built that worked, the squape leaked unti i realised i had to tuck the cotton into the channels on the deck. 5) vaping is very different on an RTA to a kanger tank, you have to pre click your button to let some vape build or the cloud is dry and hurts my throat, with a one second pre-hit i get what everyone is taking about - warm, moist cloud full of flavour! 6) temperature control is a PITA - yet more variables to play with to get it right, but once it is right it works, yup it works for me So to round up i went from an MVP 20W on an aerotank with 1.8 ohm coild to a DNA 40 with Nickel coils vaping at approx 0.18 Ohms, i've still not found my perfect vape but i'm getting there, now to learn how to wrap coils, then move on to each new idea Its a steep learning curve but i think worth the niggles, sore dry throat and PITA's of learning everything again. • Like Like x 1 2. SissySpike SissySpike Vaping Master Verified Member ECF Veteran Apr 1, 2012 San Diego CA Why not a fat daddy sealed spring loaded 510 since you were building it your self? I fried my first DNA board on my first attempt I hooked up a battery to see if all was working before I installed it in a box and touched the up switch to the positive in the 510 Snap! is the sound 60$ makes as it goes away:) Im gonna do a YiHi next 3. Thrasher Thrasher ECF Guru Verified Member ECF Veteran Oct 28, 2012 Madeira beach, Fla Just a fyi, coils worked just fine for years looking like springs, the tight touching micro coil is relatively new And after a few times it really is easy lol Your on the way man, every build gets a little better, have fun 4. Pjump Pjump Senior Member Verified Member ECF Veteran Apr 3, 2015 York, UK I'm a bit stuck now, when I say I had to hammer the 510 in I mean it, I had to hit it with a hammer as hard as I could until it seated, its still not flat to the case but its flat with my genitank giant. 5.

France Visa - Application and Guidelines Comprehensive guide to obtaining a French Visa //France Visa France Visa 2019-08-05T17:03:54+00:00 Many foreign nationals aside from visiting, come to France to study or work, or even to settle and live there. However, depending on their nationality and purpose of entry, many of these travelers will have to apply for a French Visa first. French visas include visas given to enter and stay in France, DROM or CTOM. However, a French Schengen visa does not entitle its holder with entrance into DROM or CTOM. Do I Need a Visa to Travel to France? If you are planning to visit France, you should be aware that many nationals need a French visa in order to enter its borders, while many others do not. Whether you need to apply for a visa to France or not, depends on these factors: • Your nationality. • The part of France you wish to visit. Check the list of counties that are exempt from applying for a French visa. What Type of France Visa Should I Apply For? Finding out what type of French visa you need to apply for is actually a pretty easy process. A France Schengen visa is issued to foreigners that wish to visit France, the French territories or another Schengen area country for less than 90 days within a 6-month period. You can apply for a French Schengen Visa if you are traveling for one of the following purposes: France Visa Application The process of getting a French Visa is not easy, nor quick. You can complete the application process for a France visa by following the steps listed below: 1. Choose the right Embassy. 2. Compile the documents file. 3. Schedule an interview. 4. Attend the interview. 5. Pay the French Visa fee. Choose the right embassy If you are applying for a visa to France, you will have to submit your application at the French embassy in your home country. However, if you will visit other countries in Europe apart from France, you will have to apply for a visa at the Embassy of the country where you will spend most of your time. For instance, if you will spend three days in Germany, two in Switzerland and live in France, then you will have to apply to the French embassy. On the other hand, if you will be spending the same amount of days in each country you are planning to visit, then you will have to apply at the embassy of the country where you will be landing first. Fill in the French Schengen visa application form You can find the France Schengen Visa application form here. Fill the form with honest and correct information. Keep in mind that the information you give in this form must comply with that in the other documents, otherwise, your application most probably will be rejected. Do not forget to print it twice, and sign both copies at the end. Compile the documents file The required documents depend a lot on the type of French visa you are applying for and the purpose under which you wish to enter France. After you have found out what type of France visa you need to apply for, then the next step you need to take is to gather the required documents for France visa. Book a France visa appointment After you decide where you will have to apply, book a France visa appointment. At most French embassies you are able to schedule the appointment online, however in some countries, this might not be an option, so you will have to go to the embassy to schedule the appointment. If you do not book this appointment, then you will not be accepted for the interview. Attend the interview at the France Embassy On the day of the interview, show up at the appointment center on time (embassy or consulate). Remember that if you are late even for a few minutes, then they will probably cancel your appointment. Try wearing something a bit more official, but comfortable. The France visa interview takes around 10 minutes to complete. The consular officer will ask you some questions regarding your trip and the purpose of travel to France. Try not to be nervous, and answer honestly. After the verification of your application, the application form information will be entered into the online system of the consulate or embassy and you will receive a printed copy of your application, which process usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes. After you get the printed form, please make sure to verify all the details are correct and sign the form. Underage applicants must be accompanied by their mother/father/legal guardian. Pay the fees The fee must be paid upon submitting the French visa application. After you complete this payment, you will receive a receipt, which shows that payment has been made, which must be offered amongst other documents of the application dossier. You will have to pay a France visa fee in order for your application to be processed. French visa fees differ from each other based on visa type, age of applicant, nationality, etc. Children aged from 6 to 11 will have to apply a reduced fee of only 35€, (not including French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Mayotte and French Southern and Antarctic Lands) How Long Does it Take to Get a French Visa? Your French visa application will be processed within five to 20 working days. Whereas, if you have applied for a France long-stay visa, you will get a reply for 15 to 20 days, or up to 2 months in some specific cases. If you apply for a short-stay visa to visit the French Overseas territories and collectivities, then the processing time is 5 working days to 3 weeks. On the other hand, long-stay visas to these places could get up to 2 months to be processed. What Can I Do in Case of a French Schengen Visa Refusal? In case of a refusal of a Schengen visa for France, you can submit a request for a re-evaluation of the application to the French embassy or consulate. Such a request should be done if you have strong reasons to believe that the visa refusal was unjust. The appeal against the decision should be submitted 2 months since the day of the refusal, in French, and the supporting documents attached to the case file. The results of the appeal could be an indirect refusal (no answer in 2 months), or a direct refusal by the commission. The applicant can make an appeal for cancellation of that decision in no longer than 2 months at the Administrative Court of Nantes (only if the visa was rejected from the appeal, or when ministers also confirm the visa rejection). How Many Times Can I Enter France With a Schengen Visa? Based on the times a person is allowed to enter Schengen and the number of countries a person is allowed to enter, the France Schengen visa is grouped as follows: • Uniform Visas. There are two types of these visas: • Single entry – which allows its holder to enter once in the Schengen area. • Multiple entries – the holder of this type of visa is allowed to enter France and the other countries of the Schengen area multiple times. • Limited Territorial Validity Visas (LTV) – are the visas that do not allow their holder to visit any other Schengen country, aside of France when issued by the French embassy or consulate in their home country. Can my French Schengen Visa be Revoked? A French Schengen visa can be revoked, if you engage in: • Working without having a work permit. • Being involved in actions considered of danger to the public order. • Attempting to settle in France If your French Schengen visa is revoked, you can appeal against the decision at the Prefecture and/or at the Ministry of the Interior, who may re-evaluate the decision for refusal. Can I Work on a French Visa? Naturally, French short-stay visas are not meant for getting a paid job. Foreigners wishing to get a long-term visa for getting a paid job in the French territory, they need to first find a sponsoring employer who will provide for them an approved (stamped) work contract by the DIRECCTE, as this document is required for visa application. Foreigners wishing to get a long-term visa to get a paid job as either artist or a sportsperson in championships, they must have a work permit taken by an employer/hosting institution stamped by the necessary French authority, as this document is required for visa application. France Temporary Work Permit A France Temporary Permit is a must for people coming to France to engage in paid activity under a French Schengen visa. Only those coming to work in France under the following purposes are exempt from this requirement: • sporting, cultural, artistic and scientific events. • colloquia, seminars, and trade shows. • cinematographic, audiovisual, entertainment and phonographic production and dissemination, as an artist or technical staff. • modeling and artistic pose. • services to the person (domestic worker) during the stay in France of a particular employer. • auditing and expertise missions in IT, management, finance, insurance, architecture, and engineering as a contracted employee. • teaching as a visiting professor. If you are coming under a short-stay professional visa to France for any other purpose then you will have to get a temporary work permit. The work permit has to be obtained by the employer at the DIRECCTE (French Ministry of Labor). The processing of the work permit takes 10 to 15 days. Usually, the employer receives the forms stamped by mail, after this period. The form then has to be sent back to the applicant, since he/she will be asked to present this document at the France port of entry. What If I Have to Stay In France for Longer Than 90 Days? If you want to travel to France for purposes that require you to stay for longer than 90 days you can apply for a French Long Stay Visa. You can apply for a French long-stay visa if the purpose of your trip is one of the following: You will have to apply only to the France embassy or consulate in your home country. Quick facts about France There are boundless travelers who consider French territories as their primary choice of destination to visit each year, and many others see it as their future home where they plan to build a new life. France is a land of 41 protected historical spots, 8,000 museums, 500 festivals, countless theatrical and dance shows, limitless concerts and art exhibitions.

Check out what's clicking today in entertainment. Spencer Pratt got wildly candid about his distaste for his co-stars on “The Hills: New Beginnings.” The 35-year-old reality TV star appeared on the original run of the show that began in 2006. He appears in the 2019 revival as well but recently revealed that he’s less excited to work with the same group of people he once called close friends. “No spoiler alerts, but I hate these people, like, I dislike them,” he said during an appearance on the “LadyGang” podcast (via Us Weekly). MISCHA BARTON JOINING 'THE HILLS' REBOOT WAS 'FRUSTRATING' FOR HEIDI MONTAG Hosts Keltie Knight, Becca Tobin and Jac Vanek pressed him to answer who in the gang he dislikes the least, to which he answered Audrina Patridge. The hosts assumed that Pratt disliked his sister, Stephanie, the most given their tumultuous relationship and public jabs at one another since the original run of the show ended, but he defended her. “My sister, I appreciate her energy, she has clout-chaser DNA, it’s in the blood,” he explained.

5,055,610,178,261,832,000	20th October 2019 Emotional bubbles – do you know yours? Self care is about knowing your emotional bubbles Emotional bubbles (c) KarinSieger.com Emotional bubbles – you may ask. We all have them. Some are helpful, others less so. Life is about navigating emotional bubbles. Do you know yours? Emotional bubbles are feelings we withdraw into to feel safe, grounded and anchored. But they can also make us feel cut off, separate and disconnected from others and the world around us. Emotional bubbles can offer support or get in the way. 1. Emotional bubbles and our childhood. As a child I blew bubbles, with soapy water or with gum. The aim was to blow the biggest bubble ever and to make it last. The soapy ones also needed to fly the highest before they burst. The bubble gum needed to stretch further and further before bursting into sticky stuff on my face. As a child I also liked to build dens, with boxes, blankets and bedspreads, something secret and special. As an adult I still pull my blanket over my head, when I feel frightened or cold. These behaviours are also about creating emotional bubbles. Childhood memories that still hurt today 2. Varieties of emotional bubbles. There are many emotional bubbles, like • Solitude bubble: ‘I need to be alone.’ • Isolation bubble: ‘Why don’t you let me near you.’ • Shock and disbelief bubble: ‘This cannot be happening. It is too awful to be real.’ • Indecisive bubble: “I don’t know what to do. I am not yet sure.” • Purpose and Determination bubble: “I am in touch with what I want and need. I have energy to make it happen.” • Fear, anger, grief or depression bubbles, when we struggle to engage with the world outside of our head and heart. How to turn hopelessness into hope 3. Emotional bubbles can make us feel safe or separate. Bubbles may give us time and space to feel safe, to think things through, to just be, to recharge our batteries – physically, emotionally and spiritually. With some bubbles we have a say in the matter and make a choice. They might even become part of who we are. Other emotional bubbles may be imposed on us by others. We are left out by the bubbles they create. 4. Many physical illnesses create emotional bubbles. Physical illness and pain can also put us in a bubble, as can medication and its side effects. Pain killers and chemo brain are two examples. • In the blue corner we have: fear, uncertainty, anger, rage, hate, mistrust, grief, loneliness, disbelief, blame, hopelessness, self-loathing, low self esteem, indifference, denial, dying and death. • In the green corner we have: help me, keep me safe, tell me the truth, listen to me, how can I help myself, peace, purpose, resilience, spirit, understanding, kindness, love, life and being at peace. One minute you are ok, the next helpless and frail 5. Transforming our emotional bubbles and our self. I often describe my cancer experience as a transformative experience. In order to deal with it, to stay anchored and to keep going (somehow), with a sense of purpose and a sense of who I am, I needed to start changing and transforming something – ME. I needed to review my emotional bubbles, those created by me and those created by others. Which are essential and which are a hindrance and get in my way? And I realised just how many bubbles I had been enduring and how many I had outgrown. We need to make choices. And we need to continue making choices, every day. Your crisis of purpose can bring new opportunities Make a bubble inventory. To make a bubble inventory, from time to time, can be a smart thing to do. We might have outgrown some bubbles and we might be ready for different ones. It is like emotional weeding. Self care is about weeding our emotions Ultimately, knowing and managing our emotional bubbles is essential for our wellbeing and ability to live in peace.

Pain killers and chemo brain are two examples. - In the blue corner we have: fear, uncertainty, anger, rage, hate, mistrust, grief, loneliness, disbelief, blame, hopelessness, self-loathing, low self-esteem, indifference, denial, dying and death. - In the green corner we have: help me, keep me safe, tell me the truth, listen to me, how can I help myself, peace, purpose, resilience, spirit, understanding, kindness, love, life and being at peace. ## 5. Transforming our emotional bubbles and our self I often describe my cancer experience as a transformative experience. In order to deal with it, to stay anchored and to keep going (somehow), with a sense of purpose and a sense of who I am, I needed to start changing and transforming something – ME. I needed to review my emotional bubbles, those created by me and those created by others. Which are essential and which are a hindrance and get in my way? And I realised just how many bubbles I had been enduring and how many I had outgrown. We need to make choices. And we need to continue making choices, every day. ### Make a bubble inventory To make a bubble inventory, from time to time, can be a smart thing to do. We might have outgrown some bubbles and we might be ready for different ones. It is like emotional weeding. Ultimately, knowing and managing our emotional bubbles is essential for our wellbeing and ability to live in peace.

Even if you have only been interested in saltwater reef tank a few days, you have heard of live rock. On some message board or in a conversation in your local fish store - somewhere, someone has told you you need live rock to maintain a healthy marine aquarium. Live rock is a staple of a successful marine aquarium. It is the best aquarium filter you will ever buy. It is a home for marine life, a source of food, and can be a beautiful addition to your tank. But what exactly is live rock and how can rock be alive? Why do you need it? What does it do? What do you do with it? This article is designed to walk through the questions above and tell you how live rock should play a role in your reef or fish-only saltwater aquarium. What is live rock? live-rock In simplest terms, live rock is the infrastructure of all coral reefs. It is the reef itself. Any scuba diver or even a casual snorkeler in a shallow reef has seen live rock and maybe even encountered the discomfort of walking on a beach of sharp rock. The stony structure underlying coral reefs is live rock. Ironically, live rock is not rock at all. It is the collection of calcareous skeletons of reef building corals. You may have heard reports of the continuous, albeit slow, growth of coral reefs -- thousands of small organisms building structures that can be seen from space. The organisms primarily responsible for this complex structure are stony corals, encrusting sponges and encrusting algae. The corals grow by continuously absorbing calcium and building elaborate skeletons, layer by layer, year after year. The sponges and algae use the calcium to build layers of encrusted color over the surface of the coral skeletons. These creatures are helped and hindered by a multitude of other species that burrow in the calcium structure or rearrange it in one way or another. The result of all of this construction, destruction, burrowing and encrustation is a structure of calcium that comes in a range of shapes usually loaded with branches, holes and other shapes that increase surface area. This is live rock. When live rock is harvested and transported following sustainable and preserving collection practices, it will arrive at your aquarium full of life. The organisms on board (and within) the rock may include: macroalgae, coralline algae, corals, sponges, worms, crabs, shrimp, tunicates, anemones and a world of beneficial bacteria. These life forms are why the "rock" is called live. What does live rock do for your reef tank? Filtration. Live rock is the best filter you will ever buy. The intricate and porous structure of live rock creates a tremendous surface area. This surface area provides a home for extensive bacteria colonies (most of which are already in place when you obtain the rock), which are not only beneficial but necessary for your tank to survive. If you have not already done so, please read biological filtration for a discussion of the importance of nitrifying bacteria. Properly cured and in sufficient quantities, live rock can eliminate ammonia and nitrites (while keeping nitrates low) better than the most expensive wet/dry filter, fluidized sand bed or other man-made contraption. With enough live rock, you will have no need for any of these pricey and fallible devices. sump-refugium-with-live-rock Refugium Water quality. In addition to providing basic biological filtration, live rock helps maintain higher water quality in known and undetermined ways. It can help maintain alkalinity and pH, can uptake nutrients like phosphates and silicates (turning them into attractive calcareous algae before they become nuisance algae) and is even believed to supply some trace elements. Yet even these chemical realities cannot fully explain the impact an ample supply of healthy live rock can have on a tank. Somehow, the inclusion of live rock in a marine ecosystem seems to contribute greater benefits than the sum of its parts can explain. Live rock tanks are just healthier. Food. Live rock also provides a natural and plentiful food source for grazing marine fish like angelfish, butterflyfish and tangs. In fact, some fish, like parrotfish (which should not be kept by any but the most experienced aquarists), absolutely need a supply of healthy live rock to survive. Shelter. Live rock also provides a natural environment for fish, simulating the holes and caves in which they take comfort in nature, and for the many inverts and micro-inverts that will help maintain and clean your tank for you. Why do you need live rock? The simple answer is you don't. Despite all the benefits of live rock, you can maintain a fish only tank without it. For decades, aquarists have maintained tanks of dead coral, artificial decor, dead substrate and fish. While this is not even close to a replication of nature, hardy fish can survive such a setup. However, whether you are keeping tough triggers and eels or delicate butterflyfish and a prize Conspiculatus Angelfish, live rock will improve the quality of life for all of your specimens and will allow you to maintain a greater variety of fish and non-fish life. saltwater-tank-with-live-rock In addition, if properly provided the right aquarium lighting, low nutrient levels and a balance of calcium and alkalinity, live rock can quickly become 100% encrusted with coralline algae in a variety of pinks, purples, orange, red and white -- adding dramatically to the aesthetic appeal of the aquarium. There is not a marine setup imaginable that cannot benefit from live rock in the system. While it is not essential to maintaining a basic fish-only system, it will help and should be one of the first additions to a startup tank. Is live rock right for your tank? In a word, yes. It does not matter what type of setup you have - reef, fish only, community, aggressive - live rock is a good addition. New hobbyists often ask whether they can keep live rock with fish like triggerfish and parrotfish. Some are concerned that such fish may kill the live rock. Suffice it to say that live rock, since it is not an organism itself, cannot be killed. While a parrotfish will bite pieces of the rock off and crush them to find food (as the unpredictable triggers may), this will not affect the rest of the rock. Unless the fish is dramatically crowded into a tank with too little rock, it would take a parrotfish years (longer than it is likely to live in captivity) if not decades to reduce a discernible amount of live rock to rubble. All the while, the process would provide a tremendous boost to the substrate. A hobbyist placing live rock in a tank of non-reef-safe fish might genuinely concern himself or herself with the organisms on the rock. To be sure, in a tank of triggers, any shrimps, crabs, urchins or snails would likely become quick meals. Likewise, angelfish and butterflyfish would likely decimate any coral polyps on the rock, while a group of tangs might make quick work of the macroalgae. This is not to suggest live rock should not be placed in tanks of such fish. To the contrary, the rock is serving an essential function of providing food to the fish in a natural way. The rock will thrive without its stowaways. How much live rock do you need? This is a commonly asked question. Equally common is the rule-of-thumb answer - 1.5 to 2 pounds per gallon. While this is a good guideline, there is no answer. Essentially, you should add enough live rock to make the tank look appealing, to provide enough cover for shy fish, to feed grazers and to provide ample biological filtration for your stock list. While 1.5 to 2 pounds generally suffices, a heavily stocked tank may require more, while a lightly stocked tank can get by with less. The only rule I would suggest is that if, and only if, the tank looks good and you have never a trace of ammonia or nitrite, then you have enough live rock. Where should I put the rock? Locating live rock may seem like a simple proposition - put it in the tank. However, there are other options. While a tank loaded with beautifully encrusted live rock makes a spectacular display, some hobbyists prefer the look of artificial decor. Assuming you are not keeping fish that need the live rock available for constant grazing, you can have the best of both worlds by decorating the tank with the sterile decor of your choosing while tying the tank into a sump full of live rock. Such a sump should be lighted at night to maintain stable oxygen, carbon dioxide and pH levels. Such a sump might also include a plenum. How do I add the live rock Virtually all live rock is collected overseas and shipped dry (covered with wet newspapers to preserve some moisture). During shipping, some of the life on the rock will die. If you were to immediately place it in an established and stocked tank, the dead organisms would produce tremendous quantities of ammonia and poison other livestock. Livestock (and other organisms on the rock) would then die and add to the ammonia causing a downward spiral. To prevent this problem, live rock should be cured before placing it in a stocked tank. Curing, in its simplest terms, consists of placing the rock in a suitable environment where the living organisms can survive and the dead or dying organisms can die off fully, breakdown into ammonia and be converted into nitrates or nitrogen gas. Usually, the curing process takes from 4 to 8 weeks. Adding live rock to a tank depends on the rock and the tank. Is the rock cured, pre-cured or un-cured? Is the tank new or established? Cured Cured live rock means the rock has been put through the curing process fully. It is alive. All dying organisms are gone. It is ready for a stocked tank. If you buy fully cured live rock from a local store, you can safely add it to a stocked and established tank. It may still cause a slight ammonia spike but the spike will be short-lived and minor. If you buy fully cured live rock shipped to you, it will suffer some losses in shipping (unless it is shipped in water, which is uncommon and very expensive) and should be re-cured at home before adding it to your tank. Fully cured rock will usually re-cure in a few days. An ammonia test showing no trace of ammonia in the curing container tells you when the rock is ready. Pre-cured Pre-cured rock should not be confused with cured rock. It is not cured. This description merely means that the rock was placed on dry racks and sprayed with saltwater for several weeks before shipping. This process purportedly removes harmful mantis shrimp and bristle worms (not all bristle worms are harmful) while preserving the beneficial life. This is not a curing process and such rock should be fully cured upon arrival. Un-cured Un-cured rock is, as its name suggests, not cured at all. It is plucked from the ocean and sent to you. This rock contains the most life but much of it will die in curing. This rock absolutely must be cured before adding it to an established tank. If you have ever considered adding uncured or pre-cured rock directly to a stocked tank, think again. These burrowing worms are just one of the many life forms hidden within live rock. Chances are high that by the time the rock reaches you, many of the hidden animals have died or are in the process of dying. Even if the rock looks and smells perfect on the outside, placing it in a display tank places large dying animals in the tank. The decay of these animals will provide a steady stream of ammonia and nitrite and risks causing other die off in the tank. Naturally, if you are considering adding a few small pieces of uncured rock to a well-established 500-gallon tank, the ammonia would likely be insignificant, but caution should be exercised whenever using uncured rock. Adding live rock to an un-established tank is a different story. The curing process of live rock also will cycle a new tank and is a great way to start a tank. Placing un-cured or cured live rock in a new tank and allowing it to cure in the tank is a sure-fire way to build a strong biological filter bed and prepare your tank for fish, corals and other inverts.

The most obvious choice is to arrange live rock in the display tank for a spectacular reef-like appearance. However, if you prefer artificial decor, you can place live rock in a sump or refugium instead. In this setup: - Decorate the display tank to your taste - Place live rock in a well-lit sump or refugium - Keep the sumpless refugium lit at night to maintain stable oxygen, CO₂, and pH levels - Optionally include a plenum beneath the rock in the sump --- ## How Do I Add the Live Rock? Live rock arrives in three general states: 1. Cured 2. Pre-cured 3. Un-cured ### Cured Cured live rock has already undergone the curing process: all dying organisms are gone, and beneficial organisms are established. It is ready for a stocked tank. If you buy fully cured live rock from a local store, you can safely add it to an established aquarium. You may see a minor, short-lived ammonia spike, but it is generally insignificant. If cured rock is shipped to you dry, some life may die in transit. Re-cure it at home for a few days until ammonia readings in the curing container are zero. ### Pre-cured Pre-cured rock has been sprayed with saltwater on dry racks for several weeks before shipping. This process can remove harmful mantis shrimp and some bristle worms while preserving beneficial life. It is not fully cured and must be cured upon arrival. ### Un-cured Un-cured rock is freshly harvested and contains the most life—and the most potential die-off. It must be cured before adding it to a stocked tank. Placing un-cured rock directly into your display can trigger a decay cycle, producing ammonia and nitrite that may harm existing livestock. --- ### The Curing Process 1. Place the live rock in a separate container (or a new, empty aquarium). 2. Provide filtration and circulation (e.g., a small powerhead and biological filtration). 3. Test water daily for ammonia and nitrite. 4. Perform water changes as needed to keep ammonia and nitrite at zero. 5. Wait until all ammonia and nitrite readings remain at zero for several consecutive days (usually 4–8 weeks total for un-cured rock). Once cured, the rock is safe to transfer into your main aquarium. --- Live rock is the cornerstone of a thriving saltwater tank. Properly sourced, cured, and placed, it provides filtration, food, shelter, aesthetic beauty, and the natural stability that so many reef and fish-only systems crave.

The scan will reveal energy restrictions that block the life force flow that feed the body’s physical systems. The scan is done using the inner visual field of the Medical Intuitive reader, and does not require the physical presence of the body of the client. Because scans use sensitive intuition skills to read energy patterns (like radio waves) on the client’s etherial lightbody, they can be done in person or at a distance, such as over the telephone. To read more about the scanning process, click here: Article on Medical Intuitive Health Scans. A Medical Intuitive scan is an intuitive energy field reading. Distance and three dimensional space are a function of the physical plane. Energy has no separation, hence the expression, we are all one. I prefer a distance scan done over the telephone as it allows me to go deeper into the field and have more clarity. Sessions include suggested self- healing methods for clearing energy field blocks, references that include books, CDs, DVDs and internet websites to give you more understanding about what you can do to create natural healing and suggestions for additional alternative healing modalities that can help you. Here is a short course in how health is created. 1. Your subtle energy body is an electromagnetic field of vibrating energy. 2. Energy has a positive, negative or neutral charge. Every thought is energy and therefore has a charge. 3. Positive energy creates health and happiness, and negative energy works to block the creation of health and happiness. 4. Thoughts, feelings and beliefs are the energy forms that blueprint for the physical level of reality, which is merely energy vibrating at a slower rate. 5. You need to know three Universal Laws of the energy level. The Law of Attraction: like attracts like. This means that positive energy attract positive people, events, emotions, thoughts and feeling, including health. Negative energy attracts the negative of the same including ill health. The Law of Abundance: That which is multiplies. The Law of Balance: Energy will move toward balance. 6. When negative energy is created, it magnetically attracts more situations, people, events, thoughts, beliefs, etc. that create more of itself and it multiplies. Negative energy blocks the free flow of energy that creates health and happiness. Specific energy blocks create fibromyalgia, cancer, chronic fatigue, crohn’s disease, IBS, arthritis, gum disease, heart disease, headaches, back aches and many more illnesses. 7. If it is on your field, you created it. You created it, and nobody but you can clean it up permanently. This requires taking responsibility for holding onto feelings of pain, blame and other negative energies. Acknowledging that you can pull your power out of negative energy and reassign it to positive energy is the key to healing and happiness. This means you have to move out of the emotional pain and the blame. This is how you can call your power back out of victim energy. Although healers can facilitate your own healing, nobody can permanently do all the healing work for you. 8. If you don’t know that negative energy is being stored on your magnetic energy field, then is has the power to work insidiously to make you ill. 9. Pain and illness are the ways that the body signals you that there are negative blocks, restrictions, cords and imbalances in your field. Think of it as e-mail and be grateful for the knowledge. Mind, body and spirit are all working together to offer you conscious choices of positive or negative energy. Once you become aware of what the block is, you have the power to make a change and clear it, if you so choose. If and when you do this there is no longer a purpose for your pain and illness to exist and your health will return. Yes, pain in the body is a message sent by the spirit that you need to address an internal spiritual issue. Fixing the body without picking up the message ignores the purpose for the pain or illness to exist. Unless the message is retrieved and the energy restrictions addressed, another illness is likely to take its place. The right side usually relates to patriarchal energy (external and male energy) and the left side, internal, female energy. Everyone has both male and female energy. The scan would most probably reveal the specific issues involved. A. Scanning your energy might help to reveal the deep underlying conflicting forces that are pulling at you. Once you are aware that they are there you can make more beneficial choices and attempt to clear the conflicts between mind and heart. Sometimes the deep emotions are not coming from you, but rather from an energy fragment of you from your past. There are ways to access this fragment and to help it to clear the negative energy that it is holding on to. During the scan you will be advised as to how to go about this clearing process. My holistic and alternative medical suggestions are not offered in place of conventional medicine. Holistic energy field healing takes effort and focus. It is too difficult to do the energy clearing work when you are ill or in pain. Sometimes healing is an extended process. Holistic solutions to energy field problems are offered in conjunction with your treatments. As you heal your energy field you will notice that you require less conventional medical treatment and medicine. You will eventually change your perspective from,” How did I create illness?” to, ” How can I maintain wellness?” 1. Today, there are alternative choices available to you that focus on re-balancing the body’s natural energy to bring about a state of health. Suggestions for guided healing and additional alternative choices will be made in a reading. Taking personal responsibility for your own health and happiness is a pre-requisite to having a successful outcome. 1. As for the need for immediate surgery, the body signals you that there is a problem long before the problem reaches the stage of requiring immediate surgery. By the time you find yourself needing surgery, the energy restrictions have grown many layers and there is a great deal of work to do to clear up all the negative energy. In addition, the physical problem may be too far along to reverse in a short period of time. Sometimes during a recovery period after surgery there is time for introspection, and the energy works toward healing itself. However, when the energy field block does not clear, there will likely be another physical ailment containing the very same root energy that manifests again on the physical plane. A Medical Intuition health scan can help you know what energy blocks are still there and what needs to be cleared so that hopefully, you can prevent the energy restrictions from forming an entirely new cycle of illness. Clearing the energy will also help the old wounds to heal faster. Next time don’t wait so long to seek out the energy coding. Yes, most likely it can. I would need to do a scan of your field to discover your particular energetic cause, however I can tell you that often, when these problems are combined, the energy field shows that they relate to unresolved grieving, sometimes many, many years prior to the manifestation of illness. I would ask you who died just prior to the beginning of these physical manifestations. Where there any other traumatic losses at that time? Did your parents die when you were young? Did you short circuit the completion of the grieving process? If so you need to resolve feelings of loss, and find positive memories and feelings to balance and/or replace them. Specific methods for clearing the blocks would be offered in a reading. Each individual has their own personal underlying reasons for creating a disease such as fibromyalgia. I would need to read your mom’s energy field to know what particular purpose these symptoms serve for her. I can tell you that I have had many clients who have suffered from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome that I worked with, and together we discovered the hidden purpose for manifesting the symptoms of these diseases. They no longer feel like victims of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. They understand that when they are ready to claim responsibility for their choices that create health and happiness, their bodies are able to release the need for the symptoms and acceleratete the healing process. Today, they are happy and symptom free. As for your acceptance of the thought that you too are “probably” forming this disease, I say, DON’T ACCEPT that thought. In my medical intuition readings I often see that daughters absorb energy from their mother’s field and exhibit similar symptoms. This is because you carry much of the same thoughts, belief systems and patterns. If, however, you change those patterns, search deep within for the purpose that the illness would serve, and make alternative choices to fill those needs in a positive way, then the disease will have no reason to manifest. Healing comes in many forms. The Angels that I work with not only shed light on unfinished business, but often will offer my clients an opportunity for resolution. In this way my readings not only serve to inform, but also to heal. I like to choose between the waterfall (quiet) and a mantra (TM) meditation. I consider the mantra meditation a busy meditation because it is active, but very healthy to do daily. Some people like to use the methods that you speak of, but I find that when I concentrate on the body, I stay focused on the third dimension and go nowhere. You can do the waterfall meditation presented in my book, Energy 101, as often as you like because those are healing waters and it is a real place on another dimension. Many books have many different quiet meditation methods that you can try. I suggest that you experiment and use what works for you. But, when you want to communicate with the spirit world, do any healing work on yourself, or just relax and clean off your energy field, I suggest that you use the waterfall. Low energy accompanies energy leaks. Find out where your energy leaks are and clear them. A holistic health scan can help you to do this. Copyright © 2008-2017 Jan Meryl. All rights reserved.

Distance and three-dimensional space are a function of the physical plane. Energy has no separation, hence the expression, “we are all one.” I prefer a distance scan done over the telephone as it allows me to go deeper into the field and have more clarity. ### What do sessions include? Sessions include: - Suggested self-healing methods for clearing energy-field blocks - References (books, CDs, DVDs, websites) for more understanding of natural healing - Suggestions for additional alternative healing modalities --- ## A Short Course in How Health Is Created 1. Your subtle energy body is an electromagnetic field of vibrating energy. 2. Energy has a positive, negative or neutral charge. Every thought is energy and therefore has a charge. 3.

Fixing only the body ignores the message, and another illness may take its place. > The right side usually relates to patriarchal (external/male) energy; the left side to internal/female energy. ### How can scanning help? Scanning your energy might reveal deep conflicting forces pulling at you. Once aware, you can choose more beneficial actions and clear conflicts between mind and heart. Sometimes deep emotions come from an energy fragment of your past; a scan will advise how to access and clear that fragment. ### Are holistic suggestions in place of conventional medicine? No. My holistic and alternative medical suggestions are not offered in place of conventional medicine. Holistic energy-field healing takes effort and focus and is offered in conjunction with your treatments. As you heal your field, you may require less conventional treatment and medicine. ### What about the need for immediate surgery? The body signals a problem long before surgery is required. By surgery time, energy restrictions have many layers. During recovery, energy works toward healing, but if blocks remain, another ailment may manifest. A Medical Intuition health scan can reveal remaining blocks so you can clear them and prevent new cycles of illness. ### Can a scan help IBS, Crohn’s disease, etc.? Yes. Often these problems relate to unresolved grieving, sometimes many years prior to illness. I will ask about losses and guide you to resolve feelings of loss and balance them with positive memories. ### Why fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome? Each individual has personal reasons for creating these diseases. In my experience, we often uncover a hidden purpose for the symptoms. When clients claim responsibility for their choices, their bodies release the need for symptoms and healing accelerates. ### What about daughters “absorbing” a mother’s disease? Daughters can exhibit similar symptoms because energy, thoughts, beliefs and patterns are shared. If you change those patterns, discover the illness’s hidden purpose, and make positive choices, the disease will have no reason to manifest. ### Healing comes in many forms The Angels I work with not only shed light on unfinished business but often offer opportunities for resolution. My readings both inform and heal. ### What meditation do you recommend? I choose between the waterfall (quiet) and a mantra (TM) meditation. The mantra is active (a “busy” meditation) but healthy daily. I find that focusing on the body keeps me in the third dimension. You can do the waterfall meditation from Energy 101 as often as you like—it’s healing waters in another dimension. Experiment with various methods; use what works for you. For spirit communication, self-healing work, or energy-field cleansing, I suggest the waterfall. ### How do I raise low energy? Low energy accompanies energy leaks. Find your energy leaks and clear them. A holistic health scan can help you do this. --- ## Articles - [Energy Field Health Scans and Guided Healing](#) - [Energy 101: The Key to Understanding Holistic Health](#) --- ## Book ENERGY 101 The Key To Understanding Holistic Health --- ## Disclaimer Jan Meryl is not a medical doctor and claims no formal training in psychology or medicine.

3,005,741,404,242,614,300	How Do You Get Rid of Back Pain During Pregnancy? //How Do You Get Rid of Back Pain During Pregnancy? How Do You Get Rid of Back Pain During Pregnancy? The miracle of life, the anticipation of a beautiful baby, and that expectant-mother glow may make pregnancy a magical time of life, but it’s not all a bed of roses. There’s morning sickness, acne, swollen feet, fatigue, and all sorts of aches and pains to deal with. Your physician may be able to help with morning sickness, and a few well-deserved spa days and afternoon naps could help with acne and fatigue. But, for the dreaded back pain during pregnancy, what can you do? We discuss some of the most common, all-natural treatments that can help your back pain immensely. Is it normal to have lower back pain during pregnancy? Pregnancy is one of the most miraculous processes of the human body, but it may not feel that way around month number six, especially when it comes to pregnancy and low back pain. At that point in pregnancy, the growing baby is changing a woman’s center of gravity. It pulls on the muscles in the low back and changes her posture. Abdominal muscles may be weakening and separating to accommodate the baby as well. This puts additional strain on already-taxed back muscles. And to add insult to injury, hormones that the body releases to lubricate joints to make the birth easier can backfire by making joints too loose and flexible to properly support the spine. All of this can lead to back pain during pregnancy, whether you’re in the first trimester or last. The following video goes over the basics of back pain. How do you get rid of back pain during pregnancy? In preparation for birth, the ligaments in the pelvis lose their rigidity, which can lead to the pelvis becoming unstable. The growing uterus can push and pull the parts of the pelvis and hips into different positions. These changes can both affect pelvic balance and cause low back pain. There are ways to support the back throughout pregnancy. We’ll discuss each of these in more detail: • Small daily changes • Exercise • Chiropractic care If you’re suffering from severe and chronic pain, we’ll also touch on if it’s safe to use opioids to manage back pain during pregnancy. Small daily changes The first way is to start early. Even before the baby is a bump, try exercises like pelvic tilts. These can help keep the muscles of the abdomen strong and supportive. Wearing flats or very low-heeled shoes can help keep the spine in alignment. Make sure that there is good arch support as well. As pregnancy progresses, do not lift heavy objects without assistance. If you must, lift with the legs by squatting to pick up the object instead of leaning over. At bedtime, sleep on the side with a pillow between the knees for support. You can try out long, curved “pregnancy pillows.” These loop under the belly for support there, but a second pillow under the belly works just as well. When sitting, either in bed or at a desk, a pillow at the lower back provides additional support, too. Exercises for back pain during pregnancy Pregnancy may be a great excuse to gain some healthy baby weight, but in reality, a gentle, appropriate exercise regimen throughout your pregnancy will make birth and postpartum healing go more smoothly. Exercise boosts mood, helps with sleep, and builds stamina, a must when getting ready for the work of labor and childbirth. The American College of Obstetrics and Pediatrics recommends 30 minutes of daily exercise throughout pregnancy. If you are already active, you can continue your exercise plan until your doctor feels it is time for modifications, but if you are looking to get started there are several types of exercises for pregnancy that are excellent. As with any new exercise regimen, talk to your doctor before beginning. Exercises for pregnancy should focus on strength, flexibility, and balance, and there are a number of ways to get there. Swimming One of the best ways to achieve these three things all at once, with the added benefit of a cardiovascular workout, is swimming. Swimming exercises all large muscle groups and lends a feeling of weightlessness at a time when that might feel welcome. You can use flotation devices during your workout in the pool so you feel supported. Walking Another excellent type of exercise during pregnancy is simply walking. You can do this throughout your entire pregnancy. It does not require any special equipment and is easy on knees, hips, and ankles. Walking has the added benefit of being highly portable. The stress relief of being outside is worth the price of a supportive pair of walking shoes! Prenatal yoga In addition to walking and swimming, prenatal yoga is an excellent way to prepare both body and mind for childbirth. This type of yoga is gentle and focuses on opening the hips, strengthening the body overall, and relaxing the mind. This can be started with a class (many community centers and workout facilities offer a series of prenatal classes) and then continued in your home, all the way up until (and during!) the day you deliver. How Do You Get Rid of Back Pain During Pregnancy? \| PainDoctor.com Should I try weight lifting? Weight training works well for pregnant women, but only if you are weight training prior to pregnancy. Lifting weights builds stamina and conditions the body for hard work, but you may need to reduce the amount of weight as your pregnancy progresses. If you are working with a trainer, make sure they are aware of your pregnancy, and do switch trainers if yours does not feel qualified to work with you during pregnancy. Chiropractic care during pregnancy Chiropractic care while pregnant, if performed by a full-licensed chiropractor, is completely safe. There are no known contraindications to chiropractic care during pregnancy. In fact, chiropractors are trained to safely and effectively treat pregnant women. In fact, some researchers suggest that musculoskeletal pain management, such as chiropractic care, ought to become a standard part of obstetric care. Specialized techniques are used to avoid putting unnecessary pressure on the abdomen. Also, specialized tables or equipment might be used. These are also to avoid putting undue pressure on the abdomen. However, few women receive the chiropractic care during pregnancy that they really need. One study found that 80% of women reported going without treatment for musculoskeletal pain during pregnancy. Also, pain in the first pregnancy has been linked to pain during subsequent pregnancies, so undergoing chiropractic treatment sooner rather than later might have seriously lasting benefits. Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy Pain conditions that occur during pregnancy Chiropractic care can minimize back aches, leg pain, and loss of balance during pregnancy. In fact, TheBump.com, a website devoted to all pregnancy-related topics, states: “Not only is it safe to visit a chiropractor during your pregnancy, it’s also highly beneficial… Getting regularly adjusted while pregnant is a great way to relieve the added stress on your spine that comes along with the weight gain.” In addition to helping you control lower back pain during pregnancy, chiropractic adjustments can prevent sciatica. Sciatica is the inflammation of the sciatic nerve. This runs from the lower back down the back of the legs and to the feet. When this nerve is inflamed or damaged, it causes radiating or shooting pain down the buttock, the back of the leg, and potentially all the way to the foot. Some medications that could help with the back and leg pain of pregnancy may be contraindicated during pregnancy. Your physician or OB/GYN should be able to provide medications that are completely safe to take while pregnant, but chiropractic care is a great drug-free pain management option for expectant mothers who prefer to use as few medications as possible. It’s still a good idea to discuss pain, medications, and chiropractic care with your physician or OB/GYN, though. Chiropractic care and sleep Chiropractic care during pregnant might also facilitate better-quality sleep. Getting enough sleep is vitally important all the time, including during pregnancy. This is largely because once that new baby comes home, sleep will become a rare thing. However, sleep is important for other reasons, too. Researchers at University of California San Francisco (UCSF) compared the amount of sleep women got late in their pregnancies with their labor times and types of birth. It was found that women who got less than six hours of sleep per night during their final month of pregnancy averaged 29 hours of labor, compared to an average of 17.7 hours of labor for women who slept seven or more hours per night. Additionally, it was found that compared to women who reported poor sleep two or less nights per week about three weeks before delivery, women who reported poor sleep three to four nights per week were 4.2 times as likely to need a cesarean delivery. Women who reported poor sleep five or more nights per week were 5.3 times as likely to need a cesarean delivery. This means that it’s important to take the time to get a good night’s rest while pregnant. If you’re experiencing back pain during pregnancy, it’s hard to sleep. Research has even shown that a pregnant woman’s quality of sleep is closely related to back pain. By undergoing chiropractic care during pregnancy, you can improve your sleep. By extension, you might make your labor experience a little easier. More about chiropractic care during pregnancy There are additional ways that chiropractic care during pregnancy can help you have an easier birth. When a baby is breech, it’s positioned to come out feet- or bottom-first. The delivery for a breech baby has a higher risk of complications, and most medical professionals recommend a cesarean delivery rather than a vaginal birth. Several options exist to encourage the baby to move into a cephalic (or head-first) position before delivery. One of these is the Webster Technique. This is a chiropractic adjustment that’s used to encourage the baby to move into the head-first position by correcting the musculoskeletal causes of intrauterine contracture. In 2002, the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics published the results of a survey about the effectiveness of the Webster Technique. Chiropractors using the Webster Technique reported an 82% success rate at encouraging the baby to move into a cephalic position. This technique has the added benefit of being medication free, unlike some of the other potential ways to encourage a breech baby to move into a cephalic position. Chiropractic care while pregnant might also shorten labor time. Women who received chiropractic care during their first pregnancy will experience a labor time that is, on average, 25% shorter. During subsequent pregnancies with chiropractic care, the time spent in labor is reduced by 31% on average. Finding a chiropractor for back pain during pregnancy There are several ways to find a chiropractor who can provide chiropractic care during your pregnancy. Your OB/GYN or primary care physician might be able to provide recommendations. A local phone book or a quick online search might also yield results. While all chiropractors are trained to provide care to pregnant women, it’s always a good bet to find someone with experience treating pregnant women. Because of this, consider calling a few different chiropractic offices and enquiring about the practitioners’ experience with pregnant women. Additionally, online databases provide a quick, easy way to find chiropractors with specific specialties. The American Chiropractic Association (ACA), for instance, includes a host of specialty options in its search criteria, including obstetrics and the Webster Technique. The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) specializes in providing information about chiropractic care for children, but they also have a search available for Webster Certified Chiropractors. How Do You Get Rid of Back Pain During Pregnancy? \| PainDoctor.com Should I take pain medications while pregnant? If you’re suffering from severe back pain during pregnancy, you may consider using pain medications to help. While it’s an understandable inclination, it’s a bad idea. If a mother takes an opioid pain medication while pregnant, their child could be born addicted to the drug. Once they’re born, they could go through withdrawal symptoms immediately. It’s called neonatal abstinence syndrome, and rates are increasing. The National Institute on Drug Abuse explains: “There was a five-fold increase in the proportion of babies born with NAS from 2000 to 2012, when an estimated 21,732 infants were born with NAS —equivalent to one baby suffering from opiate withdrawal born every 25 minutes.” Because people trust their doctors (and rightfully so), they expect that any medicine is safe for them and their situation. But doctors don’t necessarily know when someone is planning a pregnancy, and may not warn the person taking said medication. That means that a woman with nothing but the best intentions may still take a medication that could harm their child in the womb, and be completely unaware of it. To avoid this, limit your opioid use leading up to and during pregnancy. The doctor needs to determine if the only possible treatment is an opioid, and if so, then they should prescribe a small or no dosage as possible. Other lifestyle management treatments should be used instead, like chiropractic care, physical therapy, or exercise. Always talk to your doctor about any upcoming or planned pregnancies so they can suggest the best medication options for you. If you need help with your severe back pain during pregnancy, it’s important to talk to a doctor who’s specialized in treating pain. You can find one in your area by clicking the button below.

The miracle of life, the anticipation of a beautiful baby, and that expectant-mother glow may make pregnancy a magical time of life, but it’s not all a bed of roses. There’s morning sickness, acne, swollen feet, fatigue, and all sorts of aches and pains to deal with. Your physician may be able to help with morning sickness, and a few well-deserved spa days and afternoon naps could help with acne and fatigue. But, for the dreaded back pain during pregnancy, what can you do? We discuss some of the most common, all-natural treatments that can help your back pain immensely. --- ## Is It Normal to Have Lower Back Pain During Pregnancy? At around month six, the growing baby changes your center of gravity. It pulls on the muscles in the low back and changes your posture. Abdominal muscles may weaken and separate to accommodate the baby, putting additional strain on already-taxed back muscles. Hormones released to lubricate joints in preparation for birth can backfire by making joints too loose and flexible to properly support the spine. All of this can lead to back pain during pregnancy, whether you’re in the first trimester or last. --- ## How Do You Get Rid of Back Pain During Pregnancy? In preparation for birth, the ligaments in the pelvis lose rigidity, which can lead to pelvic instability. The growing uterus can push and pull parts of the pelvis and hips into different positions. These changes affect pelvic balance and can cause low back pain. There are ways to support the back throughout pregnancy: * Small daily changes * Exercise * Chiropractic care If you’re suffering from severe and chronic pain, we’ll also touch on whether it’s safe to use opioids during pregnancy. ### Small Daily Changes * Pelvic tilts. Start early—even before the baby bump—to keep abdominal muscles strong. * Footwear. Wear flats or very low-heeled shoes with good arch support to keep the spine aligned. * Lifting. Avoid heavy objects; if you must lift, squat and lift with your legs rather than leaning over. * Sleeping. Sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees. “Pregnancy pillows” or a second pillow under the belly can help. * Sitting. Use a pillow at the lower back for additional support. ### Exercises for Back Pain During Pregnancy Gentle, appropriate exercise throughout pregnancy will make birth and postpartum healing go more smoothly. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends 30 minutes of daily exercise. * Swimming. Exercises all large muscle groups and offers a feeling of weightlessness. Flotation devices can add support. * Walking. Portable, easy on joints, and good for stress relief—just wear supportive walking shoes. * Prenatal yoga. Gentle, focuses on hip opening, body strengthening, and mental relaxation. Many community centers offer classes through delivery day. #### Weight Lifting If you were weight training pre-pregnancy, you may continue with reduced weights as needed. Always inform your trainer and switch if they’re not qualified for prenatal training. ### Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy Chiropractic care by a fully licensed chiropractor is safe and effective. Specialized techniques and tables avoid undue pressure on the abdomen. * Musculoskeletal pain management. Can become a standard part of obstetric care for back aches, leg pain, and balance loss. * Sciatica prevention. Adjustments can help prevent inflammation of the sciatic nerve. * Sleep improvement. Better sleep is linked to shorter labor times and lower cesarean rates. * Webster Technique. A specific adjustment with an 82% reported success rate at encouraging breech babies to turn head-first. * Labor reduction. First-pregnancy labor time is reduced by 25% on average; subsequent pregnancies by 31%. #### Finding a Chiropractor * Ask your OB/GYN or primary care physician for recommendations. * Search the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) directory for obstetrics specialties. * Use the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) to find Webster Technique–certified chiropractors. --- ## Should I Take Pain Medications While Pregnant? If a mother takes opioid pain medication while pregnant, her child could be born addicted and suffer neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). From 2000 to 2012, NAS cases increased five-fold, with an estimated 21,732 infants born with NAS in 2012—equivalent to one baby suffering withdrawal every 25 minutes. To avoid this: * Limit opioid use leading up to and during pregnancy. * Discuss with your doctor whether non-opioid treatments (chiropractic care, physical therapy, exercise) can manage your pain. * Always inform your physician of any current or planned pregnancy so they can suggest the safest medication options. --- # Jim Porter Jim Porter is author of "Stop Stress this Minute" and founder and president of StressStop.com, which has been producing stress management training materials for over 20 years. ## Jim's Audios ## Our Best Sellers - $11.98 - $39.99 - $11.98 - $39.99 - $6.98 - $12.98 - $13.98 - $39.99	2,975	1,106	3,005,741,404,242,614,300	concat	[ "concat_full" ]	0.75	true	null

Immigrants play an important part in the successful story of America's free-enterprise economy and our dynamic culture. The general benefits of immigration, including immigration from Mexico, are as relevant today as they have been throughout American history. Current efforts to reform the U.S. immigration system should be based upon that fundamental fact. Immigrants and the U.S. economy For the U.S. economy, foreign-born workers provide needed flexibility, allowing the supply of workers to increase relatively quickly to meet rising demand. When demand falls, would-be immigrants can decide not to enter, and those already here can decide to return home. The result is a more efficient economy that can achieve a higher rate of sustainable growth without encountering bottlenecks or stoking inflation. Immigration helps to maintain a steady, healthy growth rate in the U.S. labor force. Our labor force is actually growing more slowly in recent years than at anytime in the past half century,1 and without immigration would actually begin to contract within the next few decades. Because of immigration, the U.S. workforce and economy will continue to grow well into the 21st century, while Japan, Germany, and other advanced economies will be forced to adjust to an unprecedented decline in their workforces.2 Immigrant workers willingly fill important niches in the labor market. They gravitate to occupations where the supply of workers falls short of demand, typically among the higher-skilled and lower-skilled occupations. That hourglass shape of the immigration labor pool complements the native-born workforce, where most workers fall in the middle range in terms of skills and education. As a result, immigrants do not compete directly with the vast majority of American workers. America's recent history confirms that American workers can find plentiful employment opportunities during times of robust immigration. During the long boom of the 1990s, and especially in the second half of the decade, the national unemployment rate fell below 4 percent and real wages rose up and down the income scale, during a time of high immigration levels. Today the U.S. unemployment rate has again fallen to levels consistent with full employment and without diminished levels of immigration. Immigrants and native-born Americans alike can all find work in a dynamic and flexible $11 trillion economy. The impact of immigration on the small segment of the U.S. workforce that competes directly with immigrants is more than offset by the lower prices and wider range of goods and services that all workers enjoy because of immigration. Americans also benefit from higher returns on investment, and from the opportunities created for more skilled native-born workers in those industries that depend on immigrant workers to meet the needs of their customers. The comprehensive study by National Research Council in 1997 concluded that immigration delivers a "significant positive gain" of $1 billion to $10 billion a year to native-born Americans.3 And those gains from immigration recur year after year. Despite the widespread perception, America is not being flooded with immigrants. The number of foreign-born people who settle here each year, legally and illegally, is about 1 to 1.2 million. That is on the high end of historical experience in absolute numbers, but we should really think of immigration numbers in terms of a rate. We measure other demographic indicators in terms of a percentage of the population: the poverty rate, the unemployment rate, the birth rate. In the context of a U.S. population that has reached 292 million, the current immigration rate is about 4 immigrants per 1,000 U.S. residents per year. That is less than half of the peak annual immigration rate of more than 10 per 1,000 in the entire decade of 1901 to 1910, during what is known as the Great Migration. In fact, the immigration rate into the United States was higher than it is today continually for nearly a century, from 1840 to 1920. [See Figure 1.] Today, about 12 percent of the U.S. population is foreign-born. That is still below the peak of 1910, when 14.7 percent of people living in our country were foreign born. American Immigration in Perspective, by Decade, 1820-2003 Other advanced countries, Switzerland, Canada, and Australia, have higher shares of foreign-born residents than we do. The relative size of America's flow and stock of immigrants is well within the norms of other developed nations today and of our own historical experience. Two Powerful Trends in America's Workforce One troubling aspect of American immigration today is the large share of it that is illegal. Today nearly one-third of foreign-born residents in the United States, an estimated 11 million, reside here without legal documents, and the number grows by an estimated 400,000 to 500,000 each year. The fundamental and inescapable reason for this phenomenon is that our immigration laws are colliding with two powerful economic and demographic realities, and as usual reality is winning. Even as our economy becomes more technologically advanced, the demand for less-skilled labor has continued to grow. Large and important sectors of the U.S. economy--hotels and motels, restaurants, agriculture, construction, light manufacturing, health care, retailing, and other services--depend on low-skilled immigrant workers to remain competitive. That demand will likely continue into the foreseeable future. According to the Department of Labor, the largest growth in absolute numbers of jobs during the next decade will be in several categories that require only "short-term on-the-job training" of one month or less. Of the 20 job categories with the largest expected growth in employment between 2002 and 2012, 14 of them require only short-term training. [See Table 1.] We all know what those jobs are: retail sales, food preparation, landscaping and grounds keeping, janitors, cashiers, waiters and waitresses, teaching assistants, and home health aides. The net employment growth in those 14 categories alone in the next decade will total 4.9 million.4 Projected Change in Total Employment from 2002 to 2012 Meanwhile, the supply of American workers willing and happy to fill such jobs continues to shrink. We are getting older and better educated. Between 1982 and 2012, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median age of workers in the U.S. labor force will increase from 34.6 years to 41.6 years, the highest level ever recorded in U.S. history. The share of young workers between 16 and 24 will drop by a third, from 22.3 percent to 15 percent.5 At the same time, workers in the U.S. labor force are more educated than ever. In the past four decades, the share of adults 25 and older who have not completed high school has plunged from more than half in 1964 to less than 15 percent in 2004.6 [See Figure 2.] The share of native-born adult Americans without a high school degree has declined even further, to below 10 percent.7 Immigrants provide a ready and willing source of labor to fill that growing gap between demand and supply on the lower rungs of the labor ladder. Educational Attainment of U.S. Adults (25 and older) Yet our current immigration system offers no legal channel for peaceful, hardworking non-residents to enter the United States even temporarily to fill those jobs that an insufficient number of Americans want. The result is large-scale illegal immigration. Failure of "Enforcement-only" Efforts We've tried enforcing existing law and it's failed. According to a study we published in June, by Princeton professor Douglas Massey, the U.S. government has increased spending on the Border Patrol by ten-fold since 1986. That has enabled an eight-fold increase in "line-watch hours," the amount of time agents actually spend patrolling the border. The government has built three-tiered walls for miles out into the desert. For the first time in U.S. history, it has imposed fines on U.S. employers who knowingly hire undocumented workers. We've busted janitors and raided chicken processing plants from coast to coast and in between.8 Yet the number of illegal immigrants living in the United States continues to grow. Our aggressive enforcement has had perverse consequences, according to our study. Cracking down on the traditional urban entry points in the early 1990s didn't stop illegal immigration. It only created a deadly diversion of the flow to more remote desert areas. As a result, immigrants entering the United States illegally across the U.S. Mexican border are more likely to enter without being caught, they are more likely to stay once they are here because of the expense and risk of crossing the border, and they are more likely to die--three times more likely than in the 1980s, in fact. The fiscal year that ended last week set a record for deaths along the border. According to the Border Patrol, more than 415 mostly men but also women and children have died horrible deaths from heat and dehydration since last October first. Morgues along the border are full of unclaimed bodies. More than 3,000 have died in the past decade. That is too high a price to pay for seeking a better job. The Need for Comprehensive Immigration Reform The lesson of the past two decades should be clear: Enforcement alone is doomed to fail. The only realistic answer is comprehensive immigration reform. We need to change a broken system so that it works in our national interest. Such reform should create a legal channel for workers from Mexico and other countries to enter the United States temporarily to fill those jobs vital to our economic strength as a nation. It should grant temporary but also renewable visas that would allow foreign-born workers to fill those jobs where their labor is most needed. Such visas should allow multiple re-entries for as long as the visa is valid, complete mobility between employers and sectors of the U.S. economy, and the full protection of U.S. law. Comprehensive reform should also legalize the millions of workers currently in the United States without legal documentation. Many of these workers have lived and worked in the United States for several years. They have become valuable participants in their workplaces and their communities. They should be allowed and encouraged to come forward to be legalized and properly documented. Legalization does not mean amnesty. Newly legalized workers can be assessed a fine. They should be required to get in line with everybody else if they want to apply for permanent status. However we achieve legalization, it would be far preferable to the status quo of millions of people living in a legal and social twilight zone, outside the rule and protection of the law. Undocumented workers who are currently employed and who pose no security threat should be allowed to stay in the country while they adjust their status. Forcing several million workers to leave their jobs and their communities for an indefinite period would serve no compelling national interest. It would, however, impose a substantial cost on U.S. companies and consumers in terms of disrupted production and even potential unemployment for native-born American workers in the affected industries. It would also impose an unnecessarily harsh cost on the affected immigrant workers and, in many cases, their U.S.-citizen family members. And it would reduce the incentive for compliance, leaving us stuck with the chronic problem of a large illegal population in our midst. Reform is not about opening the door to millions of additional foreign workers. It's about legalizing the millions already here and the hundreds of thousands who are coming in each year already. Legalization would raise their wages, benefits and working conditions by giving them more bargaining power in the marketplace. They could more easily change jobs to improve their pay and working conditions. They would be more likely to qualify for health insurance. They would be more likely to invest in their language and job skills. They could put their savings in the bank. Legalization would replace an underground flow and stock of illegal workers with a safe and orderly supply of legal workers--workers who would enjoy the full protection of the law and freedom of movement in the labor market. Legalization and National Security Legalizing and regularizing the movement of workers across the U.S.-Mexican border would also enhance our national security. It would bring much of the underground labor market into the open, encouraging newly documented workers to cooperate fully with law enforcement officials, and freeing resources for border security and the war on terrorism. Real immigration reform would drain a large part of the underground swamp that facilitates illegal immigration. It would reduce the demand for fraudulent documents, which in turn would reduce the supply available for terrorists trying to operate surreptitiously inside the United States. It would eliminate most of the human smuggling operations overnight. The vast majority of Mexican workers who enter the United States have no criminal record or intentions. They would obviously prefer to enter the country in a safe, orderly, legal process through an official port of entry, rather than put their lives in the hands of unscrupulous smugglers. In the 1950s we dramatically increased the number of visas available to guest workers under the Bracerro program. The result was a sharp drop in the number of people trying to enter the country illegally. Just as importantly, legalization would encourage millions of currently undocumented workers to make themselves known to authorities by registering with the government, reducing cover for terrorists who manage to enter the country and overstay their visas. Workers with legal documents would be more inclined to cooperate with law enforcement if they do not fear deportation. Immigration reform would free up enforcement and border-control resources to focus on protecting the American homeland from terrorist attack. Our Department of Homeland Security should concentrate its limited resources and personnel on tracking and hunting down terrorists instead of raiding chicken processing plants and busting janitors at discount stores. Legalization, Assimilation, and Citizenship Beyond the economic arguments, legalization and immigration have raised important issues of culture, national identity, and citizenship. Assimilation has been an important theme in America's immigration history. Previous waves of immigrants and their children have been expected to support themselves in the economy, learn English, and become active participants in American society. As a rule, immigrants have done just that throughout our history--despite doubts by contemporary critics about each wave of "new" immigrants. A broader concern about immigration reform is that newly legalized Mexican immigrants and even their descendants will fail to assimilate into American society. Scholars such as Samuel Huntington and Victor Davis Hanson argue that Mexican migration today is unique in U.S. history in its size and social impact. They and others contend that, unlike previous immigrant groups, Mexican migrants retain close ties to their nearby homeland, dominate other immigrant groups in sheer numbers, and concentrate geographically into insular, Spanish-speaking communities that slow their assimilation. On closer examination, none of those concerns are serious enough to warrant increased restrictions on migration from Mexico. While the number of immigrants from Mexico is high in absolute numbers, the rate of immigration from Mexico in recent years is still lower than what it was for specific ethnic groups in the past. In the 1990s, an estimated 4.2 million Mexicans immigrated to the United States, both legally and illegally.9 That represents 1.5 Mexican immigrants per year per 1,000 U.S. residents. In comparison, during the two decades from 1841 to 1860, America absorbed an average of 3.6 Irish immigrants per year per 1,000 U.S. residents--more than double the current rate of Mexican immigration. For half a century, from 1841 to 1890, the rate of German immigration was heavier in every decade than the current inflow of Mexicans. In the first decade of the 20th century, Russian, Italian, and Austro-Hungarian immigration each separately surpassed the current rate of Mexican migration.10 (See Table 2.) Yet the United States managed to absorb each of these distinct cultural and linguistic cohorts into American society despite the apprehensions of their contemporaries.11 Like previous immigrant groups, Mexican immigrants are dispersing beyond the traditional gateway states of California, Texas, Florida, and Illinois. The number settling in such nontraditional destinations as the South, and suburban and rural areas throughout the country has been rising dramatically since 1980. Between 1990 and 2000, six of the top seven states with the fastest growing Hispanic populations were in the South--North Carolina, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Alabama. (Nevada was the lone non-southern state on the list.)12 Other studies have found that more than half of the nation's Latino population now lives in suburbs and that Latinos are dispersing geographically at a rate faster than the great waves of European immigrants who moved from gateway cities to the rest of the country a century ago.13 The dispersion of Mexican immigrants beyond traditional receiving areas should reduce apprehensions about linguistic concentrations. Indeed, the story on language should also calm fears about a lack of assimilation. While Spanish has grown dramatically as a second language in the United States, there is no evidence that Mexican immigrants and their families are failing to learn English. With English advancing as the global language of business, transportation, science, pop culture and cyberspace, much to the consternation of the French, I might add, it seems implausible that a subgroup within the United States could insulate itself for long from the language of the realm. In fact, America has historically been considered a "language graveyard" because of an almost irresistible incentive for immigrants, and especially their children, to learn English. Hispanic immigrants are no exception. Recent studies confirm that the children of Spanish-speaking immigrants are learning English. Among children of Hispanic immigrants to the United States, one recent study found that 92 percent speak English well or very well, even though 85 percent speak at least some Spanish at home. Among third-generation Hispanic immigrants (and their descendants), the predominant pattern is "English-only," with no Spanish spoken at home.14 And that trend has actually been accelerating. As the authors of a recent study concluded, "The very high immigration level of the 1990s does not appear to have weakened the forces of linguistic assimilation. Mexicans, by far the largest immigrants group, provide a compelling example. In 1990, 64 percent of third-generation Mexican-American children spoke only English at home; in 2000, the equivalent figure had risen to 71 percent."15 If the English language is a traditional pillar of American culture, so too historically has been religion. If anything, immigrants from Mexico and the rest of Latin American are typically more likely to be religious, and in particular Christian, than native-born Americans. Hispanic immigration remains a major source of new members for the Catholic Church in the United States. Hispanics now make up about 40 percent of the Catholic Church membership in the United States. The biggest Catholic diocese in the country today is Los Angeles, where two out of three Catholics are Hispanic. In total, 70 percent of Hispanics in the United States are Catholic, and another 23 percent are Protestant.16 Migration from Mexico and other Latin American countries is having a positive impact on both the domestic church and Hispanic-American culture. As Pope John Paul II noted in a 1999 statement, "[M]any people and families from Latin American countries who have moved to the northern parts of the continent - often bring with them a cultural and religious heritage which is rich in Christian elements."17 Proficiency in English and respect for the norms of a free society are important attributes for citizens and permanent non-citizen residents alike. All newcomers to the United States should be encouraged to integrate into American civil society. Unfortunately, government programs such as bilingual education in public schools and an undue emphasis on "multiculturalism" can actually retard the process of integration, to the detriment of immigrants and society. Once again, the right policy response is not to suppress the migration of an entire ethnic group but to remove any artificial impediments to America's traditional process of absorbing immigrants into our nation's civic life. A legalization program as outlined in this paper would not result in significantly greater immigration from Mexico, nor would it encourage more permanent settlement in the United States rather than the temporary, non-immigrant migration that has been an important part of traditional Mexican migration to the United States. But even if permanent immigration from Mexico persisted or increased, the evidence from American history and from more recent immigration from Latin America suggests that we have no reason to fear the newest wave of immigrants. Conclusion Large-scale illegal immigration to the United States confronts the American public and policy makers in Washington with three basic options. We can muddle through with the status quo, leaving millions of currently illegal and mostly low-skilled immigrants in the legal shadows, unable to realize the full benefits of their labor in the marketplace. We can redouble the failed policies of the past and crack down, once again, on illegal immigration, building more fences, assigning thousands more agents to patrol the border, and raiding more workplaces--with no real hope that merely redoubling our efforts will somehow succeed where past efforts have failed. Or we can recognize reality, adopt comprehensive reform, and fix America's flawed immigration system so that it conforms to the realities of a free society and a free and efficient economy. A legalized system of migration would, in one stroke, bring a huge underground market into the open. It would raise wages and working conditions for millions of low-skilled workers and spur investment in human capital. It would allow American producers in important sectors of our economy to hire the workers they need to grow. It would make us more secure by focusing our border-enforcement firepower on terrorists and other criminals. And it would be consistent with America's long tradition of welcoming people who want to come here to work hard and build a better life. 1 U.S. Department of Labor. 2 Pete Engardio and Carol Matlack, "Global Aging," BusinessWeek, January 31, 2005. 3 James P.

Griswold, "Willing Workers: Fixing the Problem of Illegal Mexican Migration to the United States," Cato Trade Policy Analysis no. 19, October 15, 2002, especially pp. 4-5. 9 The estimate is based on 2,249,421 legal immigrants from Mexico during 1991-2000, Statistical Yearbook of the INS, 2000, Table 2; and an estimated 2 million illegal immigrants from Mexico, or 200,000 net per year, based on INS estimates. 10 Statistical Yearbook of the INS, 2000, Table 2; and 2001 Statistical Abstract of the United States, U.S. Census Bureau, p. 8. 11 For example, the U.S. Immigration Commission of 1907-11 concluded that "new" immigrants were inferior to the old, produced an oversupply of unskilled labor resulting in lower wages and a reduced American standard of living, displaced native workers from occupations that were formerly theirs, retarded unionization and introduction of machinery, and lived in unsanitary, sweatshop conditions (from Bernard, p. 56). In June 1913, Harvard economics professor William Ripley, in a full-page ad in the Sunday New York Times, called the Southern and Central European "races" inferior to Northern and Western Europeans, and warned that "the hordes of new immigrants" were "a menace to our Anglo Saxon civilization" (from the National Research Council, footnote 2, p. 364).It would be difficult to argue in hindsight that the professor's anxiety was justified. 12 Robert Suro, et al, "The new Latino South: The context and Consequences of Rapid Population Growth," Pew Hispanic Center Report, July 26, 2005, pp. ii-iii. 13 See Robert Suro and Audrey Singer, "Latino Growth in Metropolitan America: Changing Patterns, New Locations," Pew Hispanic Center and Brookings Institution, July 2002; and D'Vera Cohn, "Latino Growth among Top in U.S.," The Washington Post, July 31, 2002, p.

The general benefits of immigration—including immigration from Mexico—are as relevant today as they have been throughout American history. Current efforts to reform the U.S. immigration system should be based upon that fundamental fact. ## Immigrants and the U.S. Economy Foreign-born workers provide needed flexibility, allowing the supply of workers to adjust quickly to meet changing demand. When demand falls, would-be immigrants can decide not to enter, and those already here can return home. The result is a more efficient economy with a higher sustainable growth rate. - The U.S. labor force is growing more slowly than at any time in the past half-century. Without immigration, it would begin to contract within decades. - Immigrants fill niches where native-born workers are scarce—both high-skill and low-skill occupations—complementing the “hourglass” shape of the economy. - During the 1990s boom, high immigration coincided with unemployment below 4% and rising real wages across the income scale. - Immigration lowers prices, widens the range of goods and services, raises returns on investment, and creates opportunities for skilled native-born workers. A National Research Council study concluded that immigration delivers a “significant positive gain” of \$1–\$10 billion per year to native-born Americans. Despite perceptions, the U.S. is not being flooded with immigrants. Annual inflows are 1–1.2 million, about 4 immigrants per 1,000 residents—the lowest rate since the Great Migration of 1901–1910. Today, roughly 12% of the U.S. population is foreign-born (compared to 14.7% in 1910). ## Two Powerful Trends in America’s Workforce 1. Persistent Demand for Less-Skilled Labor Important sectors—hotels, restaurants, agriculture, construction, light manufacturing, health care, retailing, and other services—depend on low-skilled immigrant workers. Of the 20 fastest-growing occupations between 2002 and 2012, 14 require only short-term training, with net growth of 4.9 million jobs in those categories (e.g., retail sales, food preparation, grounds keeping, janitors, cashiers, waiters/waitresses, teaching assistants, home health aides). 2. Shrinking Supply of Less-Skilled Native Workers - The median age of U.S. workers rose from 34.6 years in 1982 to 41.6 years by 2012, and the share of workers aged 16–24 fell from 22.3% to 15%. - The share of adults without a high school diploma plunged from over 50% in 1964 to under 15% in 2004. The native-born share without a diploma is now below 10%. ## Failure of “Enforcement-Only” Efforts Despite a tenfold increase in Border Patrol spending since 1986, an eightfold rise in “line-watch hours,” multi-tiered walls, employer fines, and workplace raids, illegal immigration continues to grow. Enforcement has had perverse effects: - Diversion to remote desert routes, increasing uncaught entries. - Longer stays once inside, due to the expense and risk of crossing. - A threefold increase in border-crossing deaths (over 3,000 fatalities in the past decade). ## The Need for Comprehensive Immigration Reform Enforcement alone is doomed to fail. A comprehensive approach should: - Create temporary but renewable work visas for those needed in vital sectors. - Allow multiple entries, mobility between employers, and full legal protection. - Legalize undocumented workers already in the U.S., encouraging them to come forward, pay fines, and join the line for permanent status. Forcing millions to leave would disrupt industries, harm consumers, and impose harsh costs on families, while leaving the underlying illegal population intact. ## Legalization and National Security Regularizing worker movement across the U.S.-Mexico border would: - Bring underground labor markets into the open. - Reduce demand for fraudulent documents used by terrorists. - Eliminate most human smuggling operations. - Encourage documented workers to cooperate with law enforcement. - Free up Homeland Security resources to focus on terrorists rather than workplace raids. ## Legalization, Assimilation, and Citizenship Assimilation—learning English, supporting oneself, and participating in civil society—has characterized each wave of U.S. immigration. Concerns about Mexican immigrants isolating in Spanish-speaking enclaves are overstated: - Current Mexican immigration rates are lower (per 1,000 residents) than past Irish, German, Russian, Italian, and Austro-Hungarian rates. - Mexican immigrants are dispersing beyond traditional gateways into suburbs and Southern states. - Language assimilation is strong: among children of Hispanic immigrants, 92% speak English well, and by the third generation, over 70% speak only English at home. - Hispanic immigrants tend to be highly religious, contributing significantly to U.S. Catholic and Protestant communities. Government programs that emphasize bilingual education or multiculturalism can retard integration. Removing barriers to assimilation—rather than restricting migration—preserves America’s tradition of absorbing newcomers. ## Conclusion The U.S. faces three options regarding large-scale illegal immigration: 1. Status Quo: Leave millions in a legal shadow. 2. Enforcement-Only: Double down on failed policies of walls and raids. 3. Comprehensive Reform: Legalize current undocumented workers, create orderly temporary worker programs, raise wages and working conditions, focus enforcement on true threats, and uphold America’s tradition of welcoming those who come to work hard and build better lives.	5,511	1,414	1,013,403,828,868,540,500	concat	[ "concat_full" ]	0.75	true	null

-1,406,273,578,617,435,100	This leaves players chasing an endless loop of trying to get higher level Azerite gear — which can only reliably be gained through raids and isn’t available in Mythic+ — but only the pieces with exactly the right traits will actually be an upgrade. It’s even possible that some items that should be huge upgrades are nullified by the loss of a specific trait that makes one ability do more damage than the others.

The Loot-a-rang is super useful, nitro-boosts are nice when they don't fail, and the glider cape enchant is nice too... you get wormholes to Pandaria, Draenor (make sure you have a glider), Legion, and Argus (as well as a couple old world teleport locations)...Jeeves (and to a lesser extent Reeves) and MOLL-E are also super useful (bank and mail access anywhere, repairs, etc.). Gathering (Mining, Herbing, Skinning, Fishing) – WoD almost totally killed gathering with the garrison but it made a big comeback for Legion. I don’t think BfA will be any different. Crafters always need materials and they will pay big bucks for it. While the crafting professions might have bigger profit margins, gathering has always seemed to produce a nice steady income. Materials always sell and usually sell fast. One thing I am watching for BfA is old materials. With the change to how you level professions, gone are the days of power leveling a new toons profs using only WoD mats. On one hand you won’t need to in order to do the BfA stuff. On the other hand if enough folks still like finishing off the prior xpac stuff, old material prices could go up and low level gathering might be more profitable similar to how Ghost Iron is now. currently sitting at around 1.1-1.2m gp on my toons, a bunch in my mailbox (i like to clear sold auctions at the end the day), and 3 sky golems to sell. Not to mention i've bought myself a token, and given my brother 2 (he agreed to buy bfa for me vs 3 tokens), as well as blowing 250k on mythic boosts. I knwo others have done way better (hell i knew a guy that had made 4m in like 3 days during the DMC boom) but i'm pretty happy with it Some mount items are bound to the original player - so you must develop the related profession in order to learn them - while others can be sold and traded. Some mounts require you to be skilled in the related profession in order to use them (especially Tailoring and Leatherworking, plus a couple of Engineering mounts), while others can be used by any character on your account. We usually indicate above the mount whether it can be traded or is bound, and whether it requires a specific profession to be able to use. If you're willing to dedicate, get tailoring for increased cloth drops, and look at group finder. Under custom search for "boe" and try to find and join a 2x4 farm group. It's basically just hours of leading npcs into a grinder for loot, but you'll make 20-40k an hour from cloth depending on server prices, and on average every 2-4 hrs you'll find a boe epic worth 80-250k, if luck permits. Unless Blizzard has some real story shake-ups and a phenomenally tuned raid on the horizon, I’m honestly expecting the sharpest player decrease to set in within the next few months. The expansion itself has some interesting ideas, but sticking to a World Quest grindfest is quickly becoming the norm, and the Island Expeditions aren’t exactly exciting. Otherwise, its a pretty lackluster expansion profession-wise as there are no useful sellable gear besides Inscription trinkets. Legion had good and variety stat gear across all professions (JC could make BiS socket-rings, now JC is the worst proff ever, so sad). I hope they change stuff soon but I'm not optimistic about it. You should probably level Pandaria Engineering and Alchemy as much as you can on your characters and invest in Ghost Iron Bar/Trillium Bar transmutes to either sell Living Steel or hold them to craft Sky Golem (30-40k profit each char per month). It's hard to maintain a steady flow of GIB/TB though. I "only" have 6 engineers and my stock drys up pretty quickly.

The key to making a lot of money with inscription comes from combining the sale of Contracts with the sale of Glyphs. It’s not uncommon to see some Glyphs swell to 4000% of their normal value during times of increased scarcity. This means less stable income but much more lucrative prospects. Even though this guide assumes you are pairing Herbalism with Inscription to farm your own mats, under certain conditions it may be a better idea to purchase the materials from the auction house.

There are some mount buff consumables from both BfA Leatherworking in the form of a mount barding, and Blacksmithing in Battle for Azeroth will be able to craft Stirrups and Hoofplates to increase mount speed and allow you to interact with things while mounted. The expansion brings a major change to the PvP ruleset on each realm. Every realm by default only allows players to attack NPCs in the open world; players who wish to engage in world PvP now have a setting called "War Mode" that can only be toggled on or off in their faction's capital city (i.e. Stormwind for the Alliance and Orgrimmar for the Horde). While in War Mode, players have access to new talents and abilities, as well as a slightly accelerated rate of XP gain.[10] Characters with War Mode activated are only able to see other players with War Mode, unless in their own capital cities. The expansion allows players to level up to level 120, an increase from the level cap of 110 in the previous expansion Legion.[1] Initially, there will be ten dungeons included with 8.0 with Mythic Plus versions of the dungeons and the first raid, Uldir, being available soon after the game's release. Following the beginning of preorders and the release of four allied races in January 2018, the number of character slots per server was raised from 12 to 16; with the launch of the expansion in August, it was raised to 18, to make room for the two additional races unlocked with initial content. The number of available bag slots in the player's backpack, which has been fixed at 16 slots since the game's release in 2004, will also receive an increase if an authenticator is attached to an account. 5) Specialization, Perks and Titles: Immersion. Simple as that. I think Blizzard underestimates people's desire to feel/look a certain way. Having an engineer with the Tinker title, and maybe some glove, apron and goggle cosmetic mogs. The blacksmith who specializes in armor that gives him access to higher quality goods. The enchanter who is so adept that they can enchant tertiary stuff onto off-pieces. Make these people feel like the profession they want. Still, it’s terrible to see the new expansion fail so spectacularly at iterating on Legion’s success. It’s hard to believe the two expansions came from the same company. Legion made you feel powerful and unique. Battle for Azeroth grinds at you by taking away as much as it gives. Sure, you can have a shiny toy. Sometimes. If you don’t get too carried away. Highmountain tauren - "Descended from Huln, brave hero of the War of the Ancients, the Highmountain tauren honor the spirits of earth, river, and sky. Though the Legion invaded their lands and sowed seeds of distrust between them, the tribes of Highmountain stand united once more. At long last they are ready to venture beyond their sacred mountain and stand beside their kin from Kalimdor, lending their nobility and strength to the mighty Horde." Leveling used to be a treat in WoW. New, unique abilities drove you forward and made getting past the horrible grind worth it to some extent. Now it just feels like everything is set to grind. More than it used to be. Once it was tolerable, rewarding even, but now you grind to unlock an allied race through reputations barely connected to most of these races, only to have to level up that character to get their unique armor set (compelling you to not just boost your character and instead suffer through the slog of ANOTHER group of alts), then you get back to current content and grind some more with a random chance to drop the item you need to get your ilvl up to finally enjoy the single warfront available (as I write this). Any decently geared 90 can complete a Pit of Saron trash mob run in 3-5 minutes. Each mob in the heroic version has a chance of dropping a Battered Hilt, which sell on the auction house for around 10k. Video guides will show the best route to take to pull all the trash mobs at once if you're a class with good AOE; other classes can simply pull less mobs at a time and loot as they go. While this method is a little less reliable than farming Vale-- after all, you're left to the mercy of RNG gods-- it has a higher chance of huge windfall because you could get a multiple hilts every run. Pull the mobs, burn 'em down, and cross your fingers when you loot. On top of the hilts, there's plenty of vendor trash, BoP epics for enchanters, and even a trinket that turns you into a gorilla. You will have to have completed the Forge of Souls in Icecrown Citadel to access this particular dungeon, though. Eventually, the Alliance finishes its preparations and launches an attack on the Zadalari capital of Dazar'zalor, their goal being to sever the budding alliance between the Zandalari and the Horde by dismantling the Golden Fleet and capturing King Rastakhan. Despite Anduin and Jaina's desire to capture him alive, Rastakhan is overwhelmed by the power of his pact with the Loa Bwonsamdi, and the Alliance champions are forced to slay him. Enraged by Rastakhan's death, Horde champions launch a vicious counterattack on the withdrawing Alliance forces, which ends with both Jaina and High Tinkerer Mettatorque gravely wounded. As the Alliance leadership debates their next move, Sylvanas, infuriated by the Horde's defeat, resurrects Jaina's long dead brother Derek Proudmoore as a Forsaken, an act that horrifies the surviving Horde leaders, with the intent to use him as a sleeper agent to destroy the Proudmoore family from within. The idea of the expansion came up after the heroes of Azeroth dealt with so much external threats like the Burning Legion. In their own words, "so when we talk about what's the biggest threat in this world, is it the titan or is it the dwarf paladin that put a hammer in that titan's head"? As such, the enemy (at least during the early parts of the scenario) will be the opposite faction, a "vast army of world-destroying forces".[4] "Players can get these powerful items, empower them, and which gameplay-affecting powers they want to use or focus on without feeling like they’re just playing the lottery and hoping they get the Pyroblast Bracers or whatever the magical legendary they need to enable the rotation they want to do," Hazzikostas said. "Instead, they can just look at the dungeon journal, look at raid bosses, see where the azurite armor with the powers they want comes from, and focus on getting that and leveling their artifact naturally, in a much more controlled way." I believe they risk losing some long-time players forever with the extent of the game-wide squish. Other facets of it are more appropriate for discussion elsewhere, but those profession points represent prior years for plenty of people. Recent xpacs have made skill level less important, which worked fairly well in terms of balancing the past and present. The world quests aren’t necessarily bad, but they aren’t good either. I wouldn’t mind killing five of a type of monster or fighting one particular boss a few times, but after seven or eight, it starts to wear pretty thin. But going from levels in the mid-20s can take nearly 30,000 AP, so you’ll need more than world quests if you want to get your heart up in a reasonable time. The idea of the expansion came up after the heroes of Azeroth dealt with so much external threats like the Burning Legion. In their own words, "so when we talk about what's the biggest threat in this world, is it the titan or is it the dwarf paladin that put a hammer in that titan's head"? As such, the enemy (at least during the early parts of the scenario) will be the opposite faction, a "vast army of world-destroying forces".[4] Another dungeon farm, this time in Uldum, Tol'Vir trash mobs drop loads of embersilk cloth. Stacks of this tend to sell for a tidy profit, though prices vary depending on the realm. A typical clear of the dungeon takes about 5 minutes, netting about 7.5k per hour in cloth, vendor trash, and various other drops like mats and BoEs. Pick up a Potion of Treasure Finding and farm to your heart's content! It's just as profitable on normal mode as heroic, too, making farming all the quicker and easier. Let me start by saying that I had pretty high expectations for this product when ordered. For background, I am an electrical engineer who works on products requiring high fidelity transmission of signals for safety relevant automotive application. Platting is very important for signal transmission and especially a solid bond between the conductor and terminal (banana plug in this case). -Bugs- There aren't too many glaring bugs anymore, but you will certainly encounter some. The pathetic thing is that many of the bugs you'll encounter were reported repeatedly during Alpha/Beta and still weren't fixed. Some bugs were discovered after release and players were able to abuse game mechanics without repercussion unless they were one of the more serious offenders. This gave some players a significant advantage over others because they used exploits and at the start of an expansion, that is the time when it's most impactful. Despite all of these problems and this laundry list of glaring systematic issues, the crowning achievement of Battle for Azeroth’s endgame is that it still remains enjoyable all due to those two pillars of raiding and dungeons. That won’t last forever. As the expansion goes on, and the grind necessary to progress becomes even more demanding and the time spent in content that simply isn’t fun increases, it will be harder and harder for raiding and Mythic+ to carry the expansion along. Also, all of this mobs in this area are humanoid. This means additional cloth drops for gold. So, you want to do this farm with a character which has Tailoring. Because if you have Tailoring, more clothes will drop thanks to Cloth Scavenging. This is real good because materials are going for good prices in this days. Another advantage of having Tailoring is Resilient Spellthread. It prevents you from being dazed in Kul Tiras and Zandalar.

"We want to be sure we’re actually telling that story in the game. That’s going to be our pre-launch event that unfolds over the course of a week and a half or so. That will be available to everyone who’s playing World of Warcraft, regardless of whether you own BfA or not. The Company commits to comply with the provisions of General Data Protection Regulation, and all of the other Laws and/or legal acts that are applicable, as well as all of the European Union acts that are applicable in accordance with the Personal data protection regulations that are applicable for the specific country in which the services are provided. It’s a good thing that the previous expansion, Legion, was the best in the game’s history because Battle for Azeroth is coasting on its success. The major class redesigns that happened then remain in effect (though some are a little worse, and some a little better), and the combination of World Quests and Mythic+ dungeons means there’s always something to do, no matter your skill level or how long you can play. Set up TSM properly, learn it well and I can already see the power potential it has. Second is diversify your markets, learn other markets and the more you set up the more potential profit you have. Third is probably leveling alts so you have a wide range of professions ready to tackle any future opportunities for profit. Forth read patch notes religiously. Hey OC! Many productive people have made some really great spreadsheets/guides for players to progress and start BFA. I decided to compile the most well worked (public) guides I could find and shamelessly post them here. Some might have been posted on the forums before. I'll try update the post whenever something new is posted before release. All credits goes to the people who's dedicated hours upon hours on creating these guides. I'm holding a huge stock of herbs, flasks, pots, gems, fish, feasts/foods to sell when Uldir releases. Its already too close to start investing into that so I would just farm herbs and try to sell Anchor Weed as fast as possible right now when price is still high. Blizz can buff spawn rate anytime or reduce materials needed like they did with feasts. Yes, that is easy, but it's not quick. Further down in my comments to OP I detailed the GIO farm, and reasonable yield expectations. I looked up a few guides/videos before commenting and most of them estimate a yield beween 800-1,000 GIO/hour. That lines up with my past experience with it as well. That'd be, taking the high yield end, 4.2 hours to farm the GIO for one toon's monthly needs. Honestly TL:DR of any guide. Is learn your markets, it's as simple as that. Learn who's in it, learn what's profitable, watch different time tables. I've earned 2 million profit OFF 1 market and half set up TSM. I've barely tried before this I was a hardcore raider, only made gold over the years through BOE farming and run sales (which are goood, don't get me wrong) but I want to be making the multiple gold capped characters.

It’s even possible that some items that should be huge upgrades are nullified by the loss of a specific trait that makes one ability do more damage than the others. # Professions ## Engineering > Like I said, engineering is the best when you aren't worried about making gold. The Loot-a-rang is super useful, nitro-boosts are nice when they don't fail, and the glider cape enchant is nice too... you get wormholes to Pandaria, Draenor (make sure you have a glider), Legion, and Argus (as well as a couple old world teleport locations)...Jeeves (and to a lesser extent Reeves) and MOLL-E are also super useful (bank and mail access anywhere, repairs, etc.). ## Gathering > Gathering (Mining, Herbing, Skinning, Fishing) – WoD almost totally killed gathering with the garrison but it made a big comeback for Legion. I don’t think BfA will be any different. Crafters always need materials and they will pay big bucks for it. While the crafting professions might have bigger profit margins, gathering has always seemed to produce a nice steady income. Materials always sell and usually sell fast. One thing I am watching for BfA is old materials. With the change to how you level professions, gone are the days of power leveling a new toons profs using only WoD mats. On one hand you won’t need to in order to do the BfA stuff. On the other hand if enough folks still like finishing off the prior xpac stuff, old material prices could go up and low level gathering might be more profitable similar to how Ghost Iron is now. ## Tailoring > If you're willing to dedicate, get tailoring for increased cloth drops, and look at group finder. Under custom search for "boe" and try to find and join a 2x4 farm group. It's basically just hours of leading npcs into a grinder for loot, but you'll make 20-40k an hour from cloth depending on server prices, and on average every 2-4 hrs you'll find a boe epic worth 80-250k, if luck permits. > Also, all of this mobs in this area are humanoid. This means additional cloth drops for gold. So, you want to do this farm with a character which has Tailoring. Because if you have Tailoring, more clothes will drop thanks to Cloth Scavenging. This is real good because materials are going for good prices in this days. Another advantage of having Tailoring is Resilient Spellthread. It prevents you from being dazed in Kul Tiras and Zandalar. ## Inscription & Other Crafts > Otherwise, its a pretty lackluster expansion profession-wise as there are no useful sellable gear besides Inscription trinkets. Legion had good and variety stat gear across all professions (JC could make BiS socket-rings, now JC is the worst proff ever, so sad). I hope they change stuff soon but I'm not optimistic about it. You should probably level Pandaria Engineering and Alchemy as much as you can on your characters and invest in Ghost Iron Bar/Trillium Bar transmutes to either sell Living Steel or hold them to craft Sky Golem (30-40k profit each char per month). It's hard to maintain a steady flow of GIB/TB though. I "only" have 6 engineers and my stock drys up pretty quickly. # Gold-Making Strategies > currently sitting at around 1.1-1.2m gp on my toons, a bunch in my mailbox (i like to clear sold auctions at the end the day), and 3 sky golems to sell. Not to mention i've bought myself a token, and given my brother 2 (he agreed to buy bfa for me vs 3 tokens), as well as blowing 250k on mythic boosts. I knwo others have done way better (hell i knew a guy that had made 4m in like 3 days during the DMC boom) but i'm pretty happy with it ## Dungeon Farms - Pit of Saron > Any decently geared 90 can complete a Pit of Saron trash mob run in 3-5 minutes. Each mob in the heroic version has a chance of dropping a Battered Hilt, which sell on the auction house for around 10k. Video guides will show the best route to take to pull all the trash mobs at once if you're a class with good AOE; other classes can simply pull less mobs at a time and loot as they go. While this method is a little less reliable than farming Vale-- after all, you're left to the mercy of RNG gods-- it has a higher chance of huge windfall because you could get a multiple hilts every run.

You will have to have completed the Forge of Souls in Icecrown Citadel to access this particular dungeon, though. - Uldum (Tol’Vir) > Another dungeon farm, this time in Uldum, Tol'Vir trash mobs drop loads of embersilk cloth.

I've barely tried before this I was a hardcore raider, only made gold over the years through BOE farming and run sales (which are goood, don't get me wrong) but I want to be making the multiple gold capped characters. # Expansion Mechanics & Critiques ## PvP and War Mode > The expansion brings a major change to the PvP ruleset on each realm. Every realm by default only allows players to attack NPCs in the open world; players who wish to engage in world PvP now have a setting called "War Mode" that can only be toggled on or off in their faction's capital city (i.e. Stormwind for the Alliance and Orgrimmar for the Horde). While in War Mode, players have access to new talents and abilities, as well as a slightly accelerated rate of XP gain. Characters with War Mode activated are only able to see other players with War Mode, unless in their own capital cities. ## Level Cap & Content > The expansion allows players to level up to level 120, an increase from the level cap of 110 in the previous expansion Legion. Initially, there will be ten dungeons included with 8.0 with Mythic Plus versions of the dungeons and the first raid, Uldir, being available soon after the game's release. Following the beginning of preorders and the release of four allied races in January 2018, the number of character slots per server was raised from 12 to 16; with the launch of the expansion in August, it was raised to 18, to make room for the two additional races unlocked with initial content. The number of available bag slots in the player's backpack, which has been fixed at 16 slots since the game's release in 2004, will also receive an increase if an authenticator is attached to an account. ## Specialization, Perks & Titles > 5) Specialization, Perks and Titles: Immersion. Simple as that. I think Blizzard underestimates people's desire to feel/look a certain way. Having an engineer with the Tinker title, and maybe some glove, apron and goggle cosmetic mogs. The blacksmith who specializes in armor that gives him access to higher quality goods. The enchanter who is so adept that they can enchant tertiary stuff onto off-pieces. Make these people feel like the profession they want. ## World Quest Grind > The world quests aren’t necessarily bad, but they aren’t good either. I wouldn’t mind killing five of a type of monster or fighting one particular boss a few times, but after seven or eight, it starts to wear pretty thin. But going from levels in the mid-20s can take nearly 30,000 AP, so you’ll need more than world quests if you want to get your heart up in a reasonable time. ## Player Decline Prediction > Unless Blizzard has some real story shake-ups and a phenomenally tuned raid on the horizon, I’m honestly expecting the sharpest player decrease to set in within the next few months. The expansion itself has some interesting ideas, but sticking to a World Quest grindfest is quickly becoming the norm, and the Island Expeditions aren’t exactly exciting. ## Iteration on Legion > Still, it’s terrible to see the new expansion fail so spectacularly at iterating on Legion’s success. It’s hard to believe the two expansions came from the same company. Legion made you feel powerful and unique. Battle for Azeroth grinds at you by taking away as much as it gives. Sure, you can have a shiny toy. Sometimes. If you don’t get too carried away. ## Artifact & Azerite Control > "Players can get these powerful items, empower them, and which gameplay-affecting powers they want to use or focus on without feeling like they’re just playing the lottery and hoping they get the Pyroblast Bracers or whatever the magical legendary they need to enable the rotation they want to do," Hazzikostas said. "Instead, they can just look at the dungeon journal, look at raid bosses, see where the azurite armor with the powers they want comes from, and focus on getting that and leveling their artifact naturally, in a much more controlled way." ## Skill Squish Concerns > I believe they risk losing some long-time players forever with the extent of the game-wide squish. Other facets of it are more appropriate for discussion elsewhere, but those profession points represent prior years for plenty of people. Recent xpacs have made skill level less important, which worked fairly well in terms of balancing the past and present. # Story & Lore ## Allied Race: Highmountain Tauren > Highmountain tauren > "Descended from Huln, brave hero of the War of the Ancients, the Highmountain tauren honor the spirits of earth, river, and sky. Though the Legion invaded their lands and sowed seeds of distrust between them, the tribes of Highmountain stand united once more. At long last they are ready to venture beyond their sacred mountain and stand beside their kin from Kalimdor, lending their nobility and strength to the mighty Horde." ## Pre-launch Event: Burning of Teldrassil > "There will be some story-driven quest content, world quests, with a bit of catch-up gear, telling the story of the Horde incursion into the night elven lands, that will lead up to the actual burning of Teldrassil," he said. > "We want to be sure we’re actually telling that story in the game. That’s going to be our pre-launch event that unfolds over the course of a week and a half or so. That will be available to everyone who’s playing World of Warcraft, regardless of whether you own BfA or not." ## Campaign Summary: Dazar'Zalor > Eventually, the Alliance finishes its preparations and launches an attack on the Zadalari capital of Dazar'zalor, their goal being to sever the budding alliance between the Zandalari and the Horde by dismantling the Golden Fleet and capturing King Rastakhan. Despite Anduin and Jaina's desire to capture him alive, Rastakhan is overwhelmed by the power of his pact with the Loa Bwonsamdi, and the Alliance champions are forced to slay him. Enraged by Rastakhan's death, Horde champions launch a vicious counterattack on the withdrawing Alliance forces, which ends with both Jaina and High Tinkerer Mettatorque gravely wounded.

As such, the enemy (at least during the early parts of the scenario) will be the opposite faction, a "vast army of world-destroying forces". # Endgame & Bugs > Bugs – There aren't too many glaring bugs anymore, but you will certainly encounter some. The pathetic thing is that many of the bugs you'll encounter were reported repeatedly during Alpha/Beta and still weren't fixed. Some bugs were discovered after release and players were able to abuse game mechanics without repercussion unless they were one of the more serious offenders.

A couple may never see or speak to each other outside of school, although they may well enjoy the new status accorded them by their peers. These types of short-lived pairings — relationships in name only — jump in numbers by grades six and seven, when alcohol increasingly becomes part of many parties. dating group for teen But, she adds reassuringly, many of these youthful relationships, sustained largely by rumour and reputation, will have dissolved within days or weeks. This causes parents to worry, and rightly so, as many kids are uncomfortable with or unable to handle the intimacy that comes with slow dancing or mixed-gender pyjama parties. But in terms of friendships between boys and girls, Connolly says that simply having friends of both sexes can be healthy and positive. Despite texting, email and instant messaging, most relationships still begin face-to-face. Martyn sees another trend: The good news, though, is that spending time with friends of both sexes could help a gay youth resolve important identity questions over the next several years.

Connolly says that young adolescent relationships last from a few weeks to a year, with the average being four months. While some are extremely intense, others remain very casual.

Flyers who have played with UAVs know that an important component of flight control is called electronic compass (magnetic compass), whose principle is similar to that of compass. It can measure the angle of current equipment in four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest (leading to no random flight of the aircraft). Many UAVs will prompt the calibration of magnetic compass before takeoff. Directional navigation based on magnetic compass is susceptible to interference, and the geomagnetic field is too weak. UAV is vulnerable to magnetic interference caused by its own high current, including high-voltage lines, underground metal mines and so on. In theory, a mistake in a geomagnetic compass will not cause a crash, but will only cause a GPS hover or an aircraft to fly further in the wrong direction. For example, in plant protection UAV, dual RTK direction finding is more commonly used without relying on magnetic compass. Double RTK antenna is installed on UAV at a distance of more than 20 centimeters, and can be orientated based on the difference of positioning coordinates.

Flyers who have played with UAVs know that an important component of flight control is called the electronic compass (magnetic compass), whose principle is similar to that of a traditional compass.

He earned his Ph.D. in astrophysical sciences at Princeton University and is very interested in the interface between science and pop culture. He has contributed to Slate and appeared on WNYC's Studio 360. He lives with his wife and daughter in Philadelphia. Jeff Blomquist earned his master's degree in physics from Drexel University in 2008 and is currently an engineer at Boeing Aerospace. He drew the illustrations in A User's Guide to the Universe all by himself! He lives in Philadelphia and has only recently stopped sleeping on a couch. Popular Science By: Dave Goldberg and Jeff Blomquist 304 pages, illustrations Media reviews With a large measure of humor and a minimum of math (one equation), physics professor Goldberg and engineer Blomquist delve into the fascinating physics topics that rarely make it into introductory classes, including time travel, extraterrestrials, and "quantum weirdness" to prove that physics' "reputation for being hard, impractical, and boring" is wrong by at least two-thirds: "Hard? Perhaps. Impractical? Definitely not... But boring? That's where we really take issue." Breaking up each topic into common sense questions ("How many habitable planets are there?" "What is Dark Matter?" "If the universe is expanding, what's it expanding into?"), the duo provides explanations in everyday language with helpful examples, analogies, and Blomquist's charmingly unpolished cartoons. Among other lessons, readers will learn about randomness through gambling; how a Star Trek-style transporter might function in the real world; and what may have existed before the Big Bang. Despite the absence of math, this nearly-painless guide is still involved and scientific, aimed at science hobbyists rather than science-phobes; it should also prove an ideal reference companion for more technical classroom texts. 100 b&w photos.

-993,477,321,274,366,600	Technobezz How To Protect Your iCloud Account In spite of daily security hacks, malware attacks and data breaches, many internet users deny taking basic security tips and precautions that would make their accounts quite impervious and safe. If you are yet not convinced about the importance of protecting your iPhone account, then you can consider the recent turn of events that had shocked the worldwide iPhone users. Recently, a group of hackers named “the Turkish Crime Family” had claimed that it has got access to millions of Apple passwords and accounts. It also threatened the users that it would begin resetting the passwords and would remotely wipe off the iPhone accounts. The condition that was placed was that Apple had to pay a ransom of at least $75,000 by 7th April. Given the possibility that these hackers have the access to your iPhone account and passwords, this should be a reason enough to protect the iCloud account. To prevent you from being the next victim and to remain at peace of mind from potential threats, there are some ways to protect your iCloud account. Have a read. See Also: How to enable iCloud drive on iOS 9 Ways To Protect iCloud Account Change Your Password It is high time that you should change the password of the iCloud account. You must set a strong password for the iCloud account in the first place by changing it to something new and unique. This technique can be regarded as the simplest and the quickest method to ensure the safety of your iCloud account. For setting up a unique and strong password for your iCloud account, you must take care of a few important points as: • Make use of at least 16 characters that would contain a combination of letters, uppercase letters, lowercase letters, symbols, numbers and spaces. • The password must be free from any kind of repetitions, usernames, dictionary words, IDs, pronouns, and any other form of predefined letters or number sequences. • Do not try to recycle or reuse any previous passwords. In case these tricks and steps might appear too complicated, you should consider making use of a password manager as an alternative. This would be able to create new and unique passwords for all the iPhone services used by you in an automatic manner. Activate Two-Factor Authentication This is a significant key to ensuring the safety of your iCloud account. You can turn on the two-factor authentication that is also referred to as the 2-step verification or 2FA. This feature is as close to being completely locked-down and secure as you can expect your iCloud account to be. In case your iCloud account is being accessed by any third-party or any unauthorized user at any instance from anywhere, the service that is under consideration would send a confirmation code to your device or the particular device that you had given pre-authorization during the setup process. It could be any device from your phone to tablet, smartwatch, or even the desktop computer. Without the help of the second code being provided to the one who wishes to access your iCloud account, the person would simply be not able to get in. The second code gets generated randomly in real-time and only that device authorized by you would receive it. The intruders would not be able to breach your iCloud account even if they would have your username and password. Therefore, not only the intruders get locked out, the users also receive a text or pop-up message that alerts you about the time and location from where they are trying to get into your account. The iCloud accounts of Apple support the 2FA protection along with Google, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and several other services that take user security as an important factor. Therefore, the process of two-factor authentication or 2FA can be considered as the most secure means of safeguarding your iCloud account from any form of hacking. Make Use of the Password Manager: We had suggested you to create a strong and unique password for your iCloud account to ensure its safety. Although it is an effective security method, the problem with the same is that several users would find it difficult to remember the complex passwords that they had set up. In case, you proceed to write down the password in some note or some phone app –then you have already destroyed the security measure that you had taken to safeguard your account. In such complex situations, the role of the password manager comes in. The password manager enables the users in creating encoded logins for all of the sites and accounts that the users would be using. The codes are thus enabled in such a way that it would become impossible to forget them in the first place. The users would just need to remember the single master and strong password that they have set up. With the help of a single password, they can get access to all the sites and accounts on their smart device. However, with single passwords too, you could open to a big threat in hand. If you wish to remain safe from the same, then you would need to ensure that the master password is as strong as possible and completely unique that is impossible for any intruder to break through. You can make use of the same password-creation principles as stated above for creating a strong, unique and master password. While the technological advancements are happening at a rapid rate, the potential threats to breach the security of individuals are also on the rise. In such a scenario of potential threats from hackers and malware attacks, it is essential to protect iCloud account with the help of some basic security measures as mentioned above. You can make use of these simple tricks to safeguard your Apple device and iCloud account from any kind of breaching from the side of the intruders and hackers. Be safe!!

Recently, a group called “the Turkish Crime Family” claimed access to millions of Apple IDs and threatened to reset passwords or remotely wipe devices unless Apple paid a ransom. Given such threats, it’s crucial to secure your iCloud account. Below are three key measures you can take. ## 1. Change Your Password Setting a strong, unique password is the simplest way to improve your account’s security. When creating a new password, use a minimum of 16 characters and include a mix of: - Uppercase letters - Lowercase letters - Numbers - Symbols - Spaces Avoid: - Repeating characters or sequences - Dictionary words, usernames, IDs or pronouns - Reusing any previous passwords If remembering complex passwords is challenging, consider a password manager (see Section 3). ## 2. Activate Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security beyond your password. After enabling 2FA: 1. Whenever someone (or you) attempts to sign in with your Apple ID on a new device, Apple sends a one-time verification code to an already-trusted device. 2. Even if an attacker knows your password, they cannot sign in without this code. 3. You’ll also receive an alert showing the time and approximate location of the sign-in attempt. To turn on 2FA, go to Settings → [your name] → Password & Security → Two-Factor Authentication, and follow the prompts. ## 3. Use a Password Manager A password manager helps you: - Generate and store strong, unique passwords for every account. - Access all your credentials with a single master password. Best practices for your master password: - Make it at least 16 characters long. - Use a mix of letters, numbers, symbols and spaces. - Ensure it’s unique and not used anywhere else. --- By combining a robust password, two-factor authentication and a password manager, you’ll greatly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your iCloud account. Stay vigilant and update your security settings regularly! --- # Taffy Chews $15.49 Availability: Made daily from only the freshest ingredients. Approximately 90-day shelf life.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1498) Zoom image The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1498) Artwork description & Analysis: This is the third woodcut in Dürer's terrifying Apocalypse series, which contains altogether fifteen scenes from the Book of Revelations. It depicts the four Apocalyptic Riders as they are described in the Old Testament. From left to right we see Death, Famine, War and Plague on their horses, trampling on a group of helpless people. An angel oversees the scene, with dramatic clouds and rays of light in the background. In the Bible the three riders are mainly distinguished by their horses' colors. Dürer, having to make do with the black and white that the woodcut medium dictates, instead prominently depicts their weapons - bow, sword, a set of balances and a trident - as identifying attributes. Death is furthermore distinguishable as an old haggard man with a beard on an emaciated horse. The four figures are riding next to each other but are in slightly overlapping positions, denoting their order of appearance in the text. Death as the last to enter the scene brings with him Hell, depicted in the form of a wide-mouthed monster, who swallows a man wearing a bishop's miter and crown. The clergy and nobility are devastated by the Apocalypse just as the rest of society. Their contemporary clothing makes it easy for the 16th-century viewer to imagine their own suffering ahead. Apocalyptic scenes became particularly popular in the years leading up to 1500, which was predicted by many to be the time of the Second Coming of Christ. Dürer's Apocalypse series was published in 1498 as a collection of 15 folios, each verso showing the illustration and the recto containing a descriptive text in German or Latin. In 1511 the woodcuts also became available to purchase as single-sheet works. Today the prints still survive in large numbers, which indicates that they were produced on a big scale, probably to meet their increasing demand and popularity, and circulated widely. Dürer masterfully captures the panic and chaos of the end of times by filling almost the entire page with painstaking detail. The diagonal shape formed by the riders placed on top of the minutely thin horizontal lines that create the dark background gives the scene a sense of forward-thrusting dynamic. This work, as well as the accompanying illustrations of this series, shows the artist's unrivalled ability to achieve in the so often crude unwieldy woodcut medium the same kind of fine dynamism and depth of expression as in a drawing. Woodcut - Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Self-Portrait with Fur-Trimmed Robe (1500) Zoom image Self-Portrait with Fur-Trimmed Robe (1500) Artwork description & Analysis: This painting of the artist as Christ could be considered an audacious, blasphemous statement, but is most likely an expression of faith alongside a confidence in the artist's competency as creator. It shows Albrecht Dürer the artist, his talents bestowed onto him by God. Set against a plain background, the artist is directly facing the viewer. His right hand is lifted to his chest with two fingers spread apart, reminiscent of a gesture of blessing. His curly hair falls to his shoulders and his monogram is emblazoned prominently to his right. To his left stands an inscription in Latin that translates as "Thus I, Albrecht Dürer from Nuremberg, painted myself with enduring colors at the age of 28 years." During the Renaissance era the convention for portraits was to show the sitter in three-quarter view, mostly set within a realistic background. By choosing a frontal view and a dark non-descript backdrop, Dürer evokes religious images of the Middle Ages, especially devotional images of Christ Pantokrator. With his blessing gesture, long dark brown hair (Dürer was dark blond) and idealized features, the artist here clearly depicts himself as Christ. And given the Apocalyptic year of the work, the painting would therefore have been a strong expression of the artist's self-awareness as a devout Christian. Dürer was highly concerned with his public image, repeatedly inserting self-portraits into his works. The self-portrait from 1500 was sold or given by Dürer to the City Council of Nuremberg where it was on public display until the early 19th century. Mixed media on panel - Alte Pinakothek, Munich Young Hare (1502) Zoom image Young Hare (1502) Artwork description & Analysis: The incredible detail and care in this study of a small wild animal is a predecessor to the detailed scientific illustrations it has influenced and endures as an extremely accurate and sensitive depiction of one of nature's common creatures. It shows a hare in three-quarter view, its hind legs folded underneath its body, with the front legs slightly extended forwards. Although the work usually bears the title Young Hare, the animal can be identified as a mature wild hare. Dürer's nature pieces are famously detailed. Young Hare is, however, not simply a scientific study of an animal. The work contains an innate tension, created by the contrast between the subject and its depiction: a hare is a notoriously restless animal, fleeing when approached too closely. The artist has captured the hare in a fleeting moment of stillness. The slight turn of its ear and the eye that's fixing the viewer, however, indicate that the animal has noticed us. Its hind legs are bent, ready to jump. Whether the artist sketched a hare in the wild and completed the final piece with a dead specimen, or he kept a live animal in his studio is a question yet to be solved. The left eye reflects what seems to be a window. This has been taken as a clue that Dürer kept and painted the hare indoors. Adding a crossbar to the pupil of an eye is a recurring feature of Dürer's work and could simply be a technical method to create vitality in the eye. It could also be another testament to Dürer's meticulous attention to detail, of him capturing the reflection of his workshop window in his subject's eye. The prominent monogram and date indicate that the artist perceived the drawing as a complete work in its own right rather than a sketch. Watercolor and gouache on paper - Albertina, Vienna Adam and Eve (the Fall of Man) (1504) Zoom image Adam and Eve (the Fall of Man) (1504) Artwork description & Analysis: Dürer's depiction of 'the fall', the moment in Christian mythology where the first two humans - Adam and Eve - disobeyed God and ate from the Tree of Knowledge, remains unique in its bold depiction of 'man' and of nature. This engraving was made shortly after the young artist returned from Italy, and is more about his own interest in the Renaissance, combined with a pride in his own home, than the story in the book of Genesis. In Adam and Eve (the Fall of Man) the figures are based on classical nudes, and the ideal human proportions and poses as proposed by Greco-Roman artists and architects of the time. The wild foliage behind the couple bears resemblance to German forests, which the artist would have been familiar with and thus he literally places Italian figures within his local environment. Adam holds a small branch with a sign hanging from it, which boldly proclaims the artist's name - written as '"Albert Dürer of Nuremberg" (reinforcing his German pride) in Latin (the classical language). A parrot is perched on the end of the branch. The sound that parrots make was then interpreted as 'Ave Maria', and thus the birds were symbols of the Holy Virgin Mary, who is signified here as the woman who later compensates for Eve's original sin in Catholicism. As well as the snake, which is literally the devil according to the Bible, each animal has a particular symbolism. The rabbit, cat, and elk, represent the four 'humors'. According to Ancient Greek and Roman doctors and philosophers, there are four distinct bodily fluids in each person, and that an excess or deficiency in any one of these humors directly correlates with personality and health. In Dürer's Garden of Eden, the elk represents black bile, and a melancholic personality; the ox phlegm and a phlegmatic one; the rabbit blood and sanguinity, and the cat yellow bile, and the choleric. Again, the artist ironically uses the Biblical story of the fall of 'man', the failure and expulsion, to illustrate human beings' scientific and philosophical successes and ideals. Engraving - Museum of Art, Boston The Feast of the Rosary (1506) Zoom image The Feast of the Rosary (1506) Artwork description & Analysis: Dürer's visit to Venice in 1506 culminated in the creation of the Feast of the Rosary, one of his most significant large-scale paintings. It shows the Virgin Mary surrounded by a large group of male figures and putti. She is being crowned with a wreath of roses by two cherubim whilst holding the Christ child on her lap. Saint Dominic stands to her right and two figures, thought to be Pope Julius II and Emperor Maximilian I, kneel at the front. Several more figures surround the throne. They are mostly believed to be members of the German community in Venice. Among them is Dürer himself, who is shown holding a piece of paper that reads EXEQUIT CUINQUE MESTRI SPATIO ALBERTUS DURER GERMANUS MDVI (It took five months Albrecht Dürer the German 1506). The Feast of the Rosary is one of the most impressive results of the cultural relations between sixteenth-century Venice and the artistic centers north of the Alps. It skillfully combines characteristics of Northern-European art such as the highly detailed composition and the landscape in the background, with Venetian elements like the Sacra Conversazione motif and musical angels, which can be found in works by Giovanni Bellini such as his San Zaccaria Altarpiece (1505). Dürer used distinctly Venetian pigments in this work, including large quantities of lapis lazuli. North of the Alps azurite was much more commonly used and Dürer never used lapis in any of his Nuremberg works. By combining materials, techniques and pictorial elements from both Northern and Italian schools of painting, fusing the Venetian obsession with color and light with the German conventions of a religious altarpiece, he successfully bridges the gap between both Northern and Italian schools of painting. Commissioned by a group of German merchants for the church of San Bartolomeo in Rialto, the presence of Venetian elements in a German-made artwork takes on more significance as it let patrons show their loyalty to the state of Venice while at the same time expressing their patriotism. Dürer's own interest to surpass his Venetian contemporaries by adopting their methods, skills, and qualities and taking them to a higher level, certainly played a big role as well. Being an established artist in his home, but having not quite found the same fame in Italy, he strove to prove his value to the Italian market. He himself was clearly satisfied with his work, writing to Pirckheimer that he had "silenced all those painters, who had said, I was good at engraving but at painting did not know how to handle colors." Oil on Panel - National Gallery, Prague Praying Hands (1508) Zoom image Praying Hands (1508) Artwork description & Analysis: Praying Hands is likely one of the world's most reproduced images, and has become an international symbol for piety and for Christianity, up until and including the present day. Using printing technologies Dürer could never have dreamed of when he made this drawing more than 500 years ago, the image has appeared on bibles, t. shirts, needlepoint, and even on Andy Warhol's tombstone. This sketch is made with ink and pencil on blue paper that the artist made himself and was produced not as a standalone work, but merely a preliminary drawing towards an altarpiece commissioned by Jacob Heller in 1507. The altarpiece depicted the coronation of the Virgin Mary for a church in Frankfurt. These hands are drawn towards those of an apostle kneeling next to Mary's tomb. The altarpiece was destroyed in a fire in 1729, although Jobst Harrich made a close copy in the 1600s, which is on display in Albertina Museum in Vienna. Around the 1930s, a fable arose about the hands in this sketch, postulating that they were the hands of the artist's brother, worn from hard work and immortalized in this drawing. However, it is much more likely that the artist modeled the drawing on his own hands, and similar hands can be seen throughout his oeuvre. These floating, praying hands are extremely significant in the history of religious symbolism and remain so popular due to the way they might belong to almost anyone - with the rough shirtsleeves suggesting a worker or everyday man, as opposed to an important priest or scholar. Even though the artist did not intend for this to be a standalone work of art, it is an excellent and enduring example of the combination of theological, humanist, and naturalistic interests in Dürer's work. Ink and pencil on paper - Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna Melencolia I (1514) Zoom image Melencolia I (1514) Artwork description & Analysis: This print is a very early depiction of melancholia, or depression, is an integral image both in the production of the myth of the "suffering artist" and in the progression of artists depictions of their own mental health and anguish. Melencolia I forms part of a group of three plates called Meisterstiche (Master Engravings) from 1514, the other two titled St. Jerome in His Study and Knight, Death and the Devil. In this composition, a winged female figure is deep in contemplation, absent-mindedly holding a compass in her right hand. She wears a wreath and is surrounded by numerous objects, all of which have a particular symbolic meaning. A sad-looking putto sits behind her; an emaciated dog rests by her feet. A flying bat in the sky holds up a banner that states the title. Melencolia I is an archaic spelling of Melancholia, or profound and unnatural sadness. Art historian Erwin Panofsky famously described this work as Dürer's "spiritual self-portrait", a reflection of the artist's own melancholia or depression. In the Renaissance, melancholy was also believed to be closely linked to creative genius. The many objects depicted in the engraving underpin the notion that they were employed by Dürer to express his own artistic state of mind. The carelessly scattered and unused tools symbolize geometry, one of the seven liberal arts and likely the most significant to Dürer as an engraver, and the failure to utilize them. The hourglass, a well-known symbol for the transience of life, the ladder with no clear beginning or end, and the empty scales speak of apathy and aimlessness. The polyhedron seems to play on the famous Renaissance artistic concept of linear perspective, throwing it into confusion. Both the personification of Melancholia and the putto have wings, but are firmly grounded on earth, their thoughts too heavy to let them fly. Even the dog seems too thin and weak to get up. The image radiates defeat and paralysis, chaos and helplessness. The obvious skill with which this engraving was executed, however, stands in sharp contrast to the artistic ineptitude the painting symbolizes and this work established Dürer as one of the greatest engravers of his time. Engraving - Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York The Rhinoceros (1515) Zoom image The Rhinoceros (1515) Artwork description & Analysis: Ever since its first publication in 1515, Dürer's Rhinoceros has remained one of his most popular artworks. The woodcut shows the artist's interpretation of an Indian Rhinoceros depicted from the side standing on a small patch of soil. The date, the title RHINOCERUS, and Dürer's monogram signature are located above the animal's head on the right. An inscription on the top reads in translation: 'On 1 May 1513 [this should read 1515] was brought from India to the great and powerful king Emanuel of Portugal at Lisbon a live animal called a rhinoceros. His form is here represented. It has the color of a speckled tortoise and it is covered with thick scales. It is like an elephant in size, but lower on its legs and almost invulnerable. It has a strong sharp horn on its nose which it sharpens on stones. The stupid animal is the elephant's deadly enemy. The elephant is very frightened of it as, when they meet, it runs with its head down between its front legs and gores the stomach of the elephant and throttles it, and the elephant cannot fend it off. Because the animal is so well armed, there is nothing that the elephant can do to it. It is also said that the rhinoceros is fast, lively and cunning.' The rhinoceros depicted in the work was a gift from Sultan Muzafar II of Gujarat to the governor of Portuguese India. The latter sent it to King Manuel I in Lisbon, who in turn gifted in to Pope Leo X in Rome. The animal was loaded onto a ship but, after a brief stop at Marseille where it was admired by King Francis I of France, the rhinoceros drowned when the ship sank in a storm. Dürer never got the chance to see the animal himself. Its appearance was only available to him through written accounts and it is no surprise that Dürer's work does not show a realistic representation of a rhinoceros. The animal is shown with thick plates that resemble a suit of armor. The surface is covered in a pattern of circular marks. In addition to the horn on its nose, there is a second horn between its shoulders. Its legs are scaly, almost like that of a reptile. As the first rhinoceros to arrive in Europe alive since the third century ACE, the emergence of this almost mythical creature was seen in the context of the Renaissance as part of a rediscovery of antiquity and roused huge interest. Dürer's woodcut depiction of the animal became popular throughout Europe. Choosing the woodcut technique over the more laborious and cost-intensive copper engraving allowed for a quicker and easier reproduction. The first version of the print from 1515 was followed by altogether eight editions over the following three centuries. Later editions include an extended text. The image was repeatedly included in scientific texts. It also inspired subsequent artworks, from a panel in the west doors of Pisa Cathedral to Jean Goujon's obelisk outside the Church of the Sepulchre in Paris (1549) and Salvador Dalí's sculpture Rinoceronte vestido con puntillasvon (1956). Woodcut - National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. Portrait of Emperor Maximilian I (1519) Zoom image Portrait of Emperor Maximilian I (1519) Artwork description & Analysis: In this oil painting of 1519 the emperor Maximilian I is shown in half-length and three-quarter view in front of a green background. He is turned towards his right and in his left hand he holds a pomegranate, a symbol of abundance as well as of his empire, with the seeds representing his subjects. The emperor is clothed in a fur-trimmed robe with a black dress underneath. His black hat is wide-brimmed and adorned with a brooch. The coat of arms of the Habsburg family together with the symbol of the Order of the Golden Fleece is depicted in the upper left corner of the painting. An inscription in capital letters above the emperor relates his titles and virtues. The Habsburg Emperor Maximilian I, whom he met in 1512 during a royal visit to Nuremberg, was among his most prestigious patrons. In 1518 Maximilian visited the imperial city of Augsburg where it is believed that the influential banker Jacob Fugger the Elder commissioned Dürer to paint the emperor's portrait. Before executing the work in oil, he sketched a pencil drawing, now in the Albertina in Vienna, annotating it: "Is the emperor Maximilian that I Albrecht Dürer portrayed in Augsburg, up in the high palace, in his small room, Monday 28 June 1518". Maximilian I made no secret of the fact that he used artistic commissions as a tool for self-promotion. He was highly concerned with his image as a ruler and the commemoration of his life and achievements. In Dürer's portrait the emperor is shown in expensive dress, the heavy fur collar of his robe taking up a large part of the picture. His grey hair denotes his age and wisdom and the pomegranate lies heavy in his hand, reminding the viewer of his responsibility as a ruler. The expression on his face is stern and determined. Rather than having the chain of the Order of the Golden Fleece displayed around his neck, as was usually custom, the fleece is dangling off his family's coat of arms, engraining the status further into his lineage. It has to be kept in mind that the portrait was painted after the emperor's death. The work, therefore, became one of the final pieces in Maximilian's series of artistic propaganda. Dürer subsequently adapted the painting into a woodcut, which would have been widely circulated and was eventually accepted as the best-known portrait of the emperor.

It depicts Death, Famine, War and Plague trampling helpless people as an angel oversees the chaos. Unable to show horse colors in black and white, Dürer distinguishes the riders by their weapons (bow, sword, balances, trident). Death rides last, bringing Hell in the form of a monster swallowing a bishop and monarch. Contemporary clothing invites 16th-century viewers to imagine their own suffering. Apocalyptic scenes were popular before 1500. Dürer published the series as 15 folios in 1498, with text on the verso, and issued single-sheet prints from 1511. Large surviving numbers indicate wide circulation. Dürer captures panic with painstaking detail: riders form a diagonal against thin horizontal lines, conveying forward thrust. He achieves fine dynamism and depth in the crude woodcut medium. --- ### Self-Portrait with Fur-Trimmed Robe (1500) Mixed media on panel – Alte Pinakothek, Munich Description & Analysis: Dürer portrays himself as Christ, facing the viewer against a plain background. His right hand is raised in a blessing gesture; curly hair frames his face. To his left is a Latin inscription: “Thus I, Albrecht Dürer from Nuremberg, painted myself with enduring colors at the age of 28 years.” Renaissance portraits were usually three-quarter view with realistic settings. Dürer’s frontal view and dark backdrop evoke medieval Christ Pantokrator images. Idealized features, long hair and blessing gesture reinforce the Christ analogy. Created in 1500 (an apocalyptic year), the work expresses Dürer’s faith and confidence in his divine gift. It was given or sold to Nuremberg City Council and publicly displayed until the 19th century. --- ### Young Hare (1502) Watercolor and gouache on paper – Albertina, Vienna Description & Analysis: A detailed study of a hare in three-quarter view, showing hind legs folded and front legs slightly extended. Although titled “Young Hare,” it’s a mature wild hare. The tension between the restless animal and its stillness is palpable: a turned ear and fixed eye suggest it’s ready to flee. Whether Dürer sketched live in the wild, from a studio specimen, or kept the hare indoors is unclear. The left eye reflects what seems to be a window—perhaps his workshop. Dürer’s monogram and the date assert this as a finished work, not a sketch. --- ### Adam and Eve (the Fall of Man) (1504) Engraving – Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Description & Analysis: Shortly after returning from Italy, Dürer created this engraving combining classical nude proportions with a German forest backdrop. Adam holds a branch inscribed “Albert Dürer of Nuremberg” in Latin, asserting his German pride. A parrot (symbolizing Ave Maria) and a serpent (the devil) flank Eve. A rabbit, cat, elk and ox represent the four humors: sanguine, choleric, melancholic and phlegmatic. Dürer uses the biblical fall to illustrate humanistic and scientific ideals. --- ### The Feast of the Rosary (1506) Oil on panel – National Gallery, Prague Description & Analysis: Painted after Dürer’s 1506 visit to Venice, this large altarpiece shows the Virgin Mary crowned by cherubim, holding the Christ Child. Saint Dominic stands beside her; kneeling figures likely include Pope Julius II and Emperor Maximilian I. German merchants in Venice commissioned it for San Bartolomeo in Rialto. Dürer himself appears holding a paper reading, in Latin, “It took five months … Albrecht Dürer the German, 1506.” The work merges Northern detail and landscape with Venetian color and sacra conversazione motifs, using lapis lazuli pigment. It bridges Northern and Italian schools, demonstrating Dürer’s ambition to impress Italian patrons. --- ### Praying Hands (1508) Ink and pencil on blue paper – Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna Description & Analysis: A preparatory drawing for an altarpiece of Jacob Heller (1507), these hands belong to an apostle kneeling by Mary’s tomb. The altarpiece was destroyed in 1729; only the hands drawing survives. In the 1930s a myth arose that the hands were those of Dürer’s laborer brother, but they most likely are Dürer’s own. The rough shirtsleeves suggest an everyman’s devotion. Though a study, the drawing became an enduring symbol of piety. --- ### Melencolia I (1514) Engraving – Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Description & Analysis: Part of Dürer’s Meisterstiche (Master Engravings) trio, this print personifies melancholia. A winged female figure, wreath-crowned, sits with a compass, surrounded by symbolic tools: an hourglass, scales, ladder, polyhedron. A bat holds the title banner. Erwin Panofsky called it Dürer’s “spiritual self-portrait” of depression linked to creative genius. Scattered tools symbolize geometry’s potential unused; the hourglass and empty scales suggest apathy. The engraving’s skill contrasts with the paralysis it depicts. --- ### The Rhinoceros (1515) Woodcut – National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. Description & Analysis: Based on written descriptions of a live Indian rhinoceros brought to Lisbon in 1513, Dürer’s woodcut shows an armored beast with plate-like skin, a second spur-like horn on its shoulder and reptilian legs. The accompanying Latin inscription describes its size, scales and deadly encounter with elephants. Never having seen the animal himself, Dürer created a popular representation that circulated widely in eight editions over three centuries, influencing art and science texts alike. --- ### Portrait of Emperor Maximilian I (1519) Oil on panel – Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna Description & Analysis: Painted posthumously, Maximilian I is shown three-quarter view holding a pomegranate (symbol of abundance and empire) against a green background. He wears a fur-trimmed robe; the Habsburg coat of arms and Order of the Golden Fleece appear above. An inscription lists his titles. Dürer met Maximilian in 1512; this portrait, commissioned by banker Jakob Fugger in 1518, served imperial propaganda. The emperor’s stern expression, gray hair (wisdom) and heavy fur emphasize his authority. Dürer later adapted the work into a widely circulated woodcut, establishing the definitive imperial likeness.	4,876	1,634	3,661,345,899,702,338,000	concat	[ "concat_full" ]	0.75	true	null

The depression severely affected many countries and crippled world economies. Canada was not spared either. This country had its own share of mystery as a result of its affiliation with global and international trade. The affiliations saw Canada being dragged into the tenets that appeared with the depression and the economy suffered a major setback with various government interventions proving futile in alleviating the problem. The depression took some time to abate despite its far reaching effects on Canadian residents and its economy as well. International trade that Canada depended on was shuttered while foreign financial markets were hit by a slump similar to that which crippled the U.S. economy.

The head of the Canadian government was by then King Mackenzie, who did nothing to abate the prevailing economic conditions[1]. As a result, he was forced out of the prime minister seat and gave way to a more practical and result oriented Prime Minister, Richard Bennett. With the new prime minister, Canadian government embarked on several measures and adopted policies to ensure that the effects of the depression did not adversely affect the entire Canadian population. Some of the measures that Bennett put in place included camps to support the old and sick as well as the distribution of aid to the unemployed and disadvantaged in the country. Although, charity organization existed even before the depression, they operated on low scale and were therefore caught unaware by the level of humanitarian aid that the depression effects needed. In fact, they could not cope with the magnitude of the crisis. Besides, during the period of the great depression, the government prioritized charity to families and somehow neglected the unemployed and single individuals throughout the country. The mobility of unemployed people in search of charity made the Canadian towns and city dwelling rules to keep out the unemployed from other cities or towns. The government spent heavily on relief and charity work, lowered tax rates and offered subsidies to help spur economic growth. The causes of the great depression in Canada It is estimated that the depression had been long in coming and several warning signs had been present. Prior to the depression, Canada’s population had become a mass consumer society. Industries were venturing into the production of consumer durables and labor-saving equipment that were guzzled up by anxious consumers. The onset of the advertising industry worsened the situation as it encouraged mass consumption. The upcoming and developing transport networks linked producers to consumers and offered easy access to consumer goods. It also linked industries to the consumers. Moreover, Britain was replaced by the U.S. as the primary source of investment and became the basic foreign-exchange souk for the Canadian Republic. As the U.S. economy continued to do well and the Wall Street posted huge profits in the stock markets, Canada was poised to be one of the leading economies of the world. However, the extra-reliance on industries in Canada proved disastrous during the depression as governments efforts backfired and created far worse problems[2]. The association of Canada with U.S. later on proved problematic in the build up for the crisis. Prior to the depression, the stock market was characterized by excessive and speculative buying of stocks. There were increased cases of buying in credit. This buying mania had earlier caused a global recession in the early 1920s although it was easily quelled. The recession forced small banks and financial institutions to collapse. Therefore, the stock market crash in October 29, 1929 was not unprecedented, but had been looming. The economic boom created a volatile economic situation that could not last. In Canada alone, industries produced surplus of goods in anticipation of generating huge profits. When the stock prices in the Wall Street slumped, over-priced shares in addition to massive trading in the shares led to unexpected plummeting of the prices. The results affected the Canadian foreign investments due to its connection with the U.S. Countries and people lost fortunes whereas global world economies especially Canada felt the full blow posed by the slump[3]. Another major cause of the great depression in Canada was the lack of economic diversification. The Canadian economy heavily relied on two major economic activities to spur its economic growth namely agriculture and industries. Agriculture entailed the production of export wheat by the prairies farmers. Periods prior to the great depression, the economic boom that the world experienced provided huge returns to the Canadian wheat farmers. Conversely, industries relied on the wheat proceeds to market their own goods. When the wheat prices were high, the industries indulged in over-production of luxurious goods and consumer deliverables. The slump that followed shuttered the boom in the wheat price and consequently declined the foreign export of wheat. When wheat prices went down at an unprecedented rate, Canadian farmers lost most of their farms to the lending institutions that also went bankrupt. Wheat farmers became desperate and were soon forced out of their farms. The industries that relied on these farmers shortly closed due to poor sales and excessive production. Jobs were lost in industries as well as in the agricultural sector and the unemployment rate became the highest for the first time in the Canadian history. Industries closed due to surplus production and lack of consumers, while greedy banks mortgaged their premises to recover their capital[4]. After WWI, industries in Canada opted to seriously indulge in production. They were in dire need of capital. The industries could only access capital by going into debts with banks, lending institutions and trading in bonds and stocks. The resulting effect was high levels of shares and bonds in the market. The traders took the bait and in expectation of the prices rising, raised the prices to unrealistic levels that did not warrant such industries. As traders run out of credit and industries promoted high consumption of unimportant and luxurious goods, credit buying was introduced. This tendency created a deficit in shares as traders moved into the profitable stock market, driving the share prices even higher. With the fall of the U.S. stock market, the Canadian investors felt the pressure and its share market plummeted to vey low levels. The high dependency on the economy of the U.S. is also one of the leading causes of the great depression in Canada. Canadian economy prior to the depression relied heavily on export to the U.S. for the growth of its economy. It was also a government option that introducing high tariffs in the export industry could protect the local industries and stabilize the employment sector. Failure by the government to deviate its economic activities meant that whether the tariffs were high or not, the whole employment sector depended on international trade. The onset of the great depression in America meant that Canadian economy was too going down. When trade declined sharply, the unemployment rates in Canada rose. As most of the industries depended on export trade to finance and pay off their workers, a decline in international trade that reached a maximum of 50% in 1933, meant that industries had to lay off workers and others were forced to close down. The high tariffs had created a volatile job market and Canada was to face the music[5]. In summary, the global recession in early 1920s set the stage for the onset of the great economic depression. It acted as an early warning of the consequences to follow due to the volatile economic and financial systems in place. The great boom was also a center stage that could have been acted on to prevent the depression. The great crash of the New York stock market in October 29, 1929, ushered in the real recession and paved way for the global fall in financial and economic systems. The drastic fall in the stock prices that followed in the Wall Street and the global pegging and dependence on the U.S. stock market meant that international trade would face a similar fate. After the crash in the stock market, the United States invoked Canadian export tariffs, leaving its goods locked out of the US market. The collapse of the economy ensued[6]. Farmers suffered from crop failures and severe droughts. There were escalating levels of unemployment, considerable drop in commodity prices and weakening of the purchasing power. The impact of the Great Depression on Canada The resultant effects from the crash in prices in the U.S. stock market heavily affected Canada. Financial and economic adverse effects were experienced all over the world with Canada bearing the high effects due to its association with the U.S. The great depression continued well into the World War II, where the effects abated but never disappeared completely. The historical effect The great depression affected the Canadian population to varying degrees. The worst hit areas happened to be the agricultural and industrial areas. In the prairies provinces where farmers relied on wheat exportation to survive, the effects were severe. The Great Depression in the prairies was coupled up with severe natural and climatical conditions that further added to the farmers’ mysteries. Long spells of drought, grasshopper plagues and inadequate rainfall coupled up with loss of lands due to mortgage loans too, dealt a fatal blow to the prairies dwellers[7]. As industries lost their main markets in the U.S., high unemployment rates set in. It was estimated that by the year 1931, Canada gross unemployment rate rose to 30%[8]. The poor policies of raising tariffs by Bennett aimed at protecting the indigenous industries and employment made Canada to further plummet to disastrous conditions. Policies like high tariffs, subsidies and low government spending only served to worsen the conditions of the Canadians. Banks underground and various industries closed due to lack of markets for their goods. Canadians were transformed to beggars and the government cut down the tax rates to enable people affords basic needs. The government set up institutions to help the poor, needy, the sick and the impoverished. The effect of the Great depression on the Canadian provinces Canada relied heavily on international trade to propel its economic forward. Through international trade, Canada exported its industrial and agricultural goods mainly to US that generated 33% of the total Gross Domestic Product on the national scale. This stated an overreliance on international trade and a dangerous trade that thrive on forged relationship with the US. After the US experienced the trade hunch, it invoked tariffs that existed with the Canadian government to protect its domestic market. The invocation meant that the Canadian industries lost their market and revenue. Additional, domestic market fetched low price for industrial goods that could not sustain the economy. In the Saskatchewan provinces that relied on wheat export, the effect was adverse. The region was not only affected by the economic slump but nature provided a nasty scenario. Grasshopper plagues, droughts and long spells of reduced rainfall rendered the prairies useless. The farmers were faced with unpaid mortgages and banks closed in on their lands forcing them out. Provincial income in Saskatchewan plummeted down by 90% and people were forced out to seek relief. Other provinces that relied on industrial production were also hard hit. The only remnants of the industrial provinces were Quebec and Ontario that relied on domestic industrial production[9]. Other economic areas that were spared partly by the depression were fish, fruits and lumber markets but they somehow went low during the Great Depression periods[10]. Among the Canadians, the depression was felt differently. Poor living standards characterized the unemployed while living standards for the employed and property owners went up plummeting merchandise costs[11]. Effects on individuals, population and industry As the great depression raged on, the rate of unemployment went higher to unprecedented levels. As industries lost their key market in the slump and consequently their revenues, they laid off a high number of workers. Consequently, there was no hope that the existing industrial workers could continue as industries halted their production due to low prices that could not even meet production costs. The failure of the stock market and the continuing bite and worsening of the economic crunch provided no hope of industrial reawakening. Unemployment rates were high and families lost their sources of income[12]. A lot of Canadians turned beggars as they relied on the government for relief food and charity organizations to make ends meet. Furthermore, the immigration rates to Canada that offered cheap labor to the industries were cut off. This was essential to enable the government comprehend with the situation at hand. Immigrants were not allowed government relief and tax cut offs. The number of immigrants that Canada allowed into the country was drastically reduced and deportations of immigrants increased. The situation was to remain this way until the depression abated[13]. In this period also, Canada experienced the lowest population growth rate ever. The birth rate in Canada dropped to 9.7% in 1937 from 13.2% live births that were reported per one thousand in the year 1930. This persisted to be the least percentage up to 1960s[14]. Industries received the full blow of the depression. Due to the heavy reliance on international markets, especially in the US, the plummeting of the international trade and revoking of the trade tariffs worsened the condition of the industries. Preceding the great depression, industries had indulged in excess production that the depression cut off its market. Some of the industries closed while other lay off thousands of workers. Groups and expansion introduced in Canada as a result of the Great Depression The Great Depression in Canada witnessed several regimes come up with various litigation measures to alleviate the condition of the Canadians and help spur economic growth. Starting with Mackenzie and Bennett ill advised policies, the Canadian government failed to make any impact on the economic and financial condition of the nation. Bennett as well as Mackenzie thought that the introduction of government intervention like high tariffs, cutting off aid to some provinces and adjusted financial plans could abate the situation. These plans and policies backfired and only produced disastrous results for the Canadians. The failure of the latter plans and policies called for new transformations. The new alterations combined the social credit theories of inflation, the democratic socialism and the BC Premier Wages and Work program[15]. On the political scene, the economic slump saw the alteration of the modernization party steered by Stevens and the advent of Herridge New Democratic drive party. Canada’s Communist Party was virtually proscribed starting from the year 1931 after nine of its associates were detained and imprisoned for being supporters of illegitimate associations till 1936. The Communist Party was also outlawed after the 1939 declaration of war. Nevertheless, the National Unemployed Workers Association performed a critical role in the organization of the jobless and unskilled Canadians to demonstrate and protest against the Great Depression impacts and the reluctance of the government to take drastic measures[16]. While it might be perceived that domestic effects of such organizations were negligible, the Great Depression finally gave rise to the extension of the Canadian government accountability as regards to social and economic prosperity How the governments handled the crisis The Canadian government started off by denying various projects and provinces financial aid to aid economic recovery in the belief that the slump was momentarily[17]. During Bennett’s reign, the government initiated futile attempts but provided the needed aid to the struggling population. These futile attempts proved helpful in that they set the stage for other useful transformations like the Work Program and BC Premier Wages. Conclusion The unprecedented wave of the economic slump that hit the world in the early 1920s and ensued till the World War II proved so much for the financial and economic systems of Canada. From the over-reliance on industrial and agricultural export trade, the whole of Canada and its population felt the extreme effects of the depression. Unemployment ensued and formerly employed Canadians relied on government relief and charity grants for survival. In essence, the great depression wrecked the whole system of life in Canada and disturbed the economic and financial system prompting a new inquiry.

The depression severely affected many countries and crippled world economies. Canada was not spared, due in large part to its affiliation with global and international trade. International markets shuttered, foreign financial markets slumped, and Canadian government interventions proved largely futile. All through that period, the Canadian government battled the effects of the depression that threatened to derail the lives of Canadians. The head of government was Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, whose measures failed to abate the prevailing conditions. He was succeeded by R. B. Bennett, who introduced relief camps, distribution of aid to the unemployed and disadvantaged, lowered tax rates, and offered subsidies to spur economic growth. Despite these efforts, charity organizations—operating on a low scale before the depression—could not cope with the crisis’s magnitude. The government also prioritized aid to families and often neglected single unemployed individuals, leading to strict mobility rules in towns and cities. --- ## The Causes of the Great Depression in Canada Several factors combined to bring on and worsen the Depression in Canada: - Mass consumer society Industries produced consumer durables and labor-saving equipment, fueled by advertising and improved transport networks. - Reliance on U.S. finance and markets Britain was replaced by the U.S. as Canada’s main source of investment and foreign-exchange. Over-reliance led to heavy exposure when the U.S. stock market crashed. - Speculative stock buying Excessive and credit-based stock purchases created a volatile market. The crash on October 29, 1929, triggered plummeting share prices and losses in Canadian foreign investments. - Lack of economic diversification Dependence on agriculture (wheat exports in the Prairies) and industries made Canada vulnerable. When wheat prices collapsed, farmers lost lands; industries that relied on them shut down. - High levels of debt and credit buying Post-WWI industries borrowed heavily. Excess production and credit buying drove share prices unrealistically high, and they collapsed with the U.S. market. - Tariff policy and international trade dependence Heavy reliance on exports to the U.S. (33 % of GDP) and protective high tariffs backfired when U.S. trade declined by 50 % by 1933, causing massive layoffs. --- ## The Impact of the Great Depression on Canada ### Historical and Regional Effects - Prairies Severe droughts, grasshopper plagues, and mortgage foreclosures devastated wheat farmers. Provincial incomes in Saskatchewan fell by 90 %. - Industrial provinces Quebec and Ontario fared slightly better due to more diversified domestic industries, while fish, fruit, and lumber markets also saw declines. - Unemployment By 1931, Canada’s gross unemployment rate rose to 30 %. Banks collapsed, industries closed, and Canadians faced widespread poverty. ### Effects on Individuals and Population - Begging and relief Many relied on government relief and charity. - Immigration and demographics Immigration was drastically reduced; deportations increased. - Birth rate Fell from 13.2 ‰ in 1930 to 9.7 ‰ in 1937—the lowest level until the 1960s. ### Political and Social Responses - Political shifts Government interventions under Bennett and King failed, leading to new movements: Social Credit theories, democratic socialism, the Wages and Work Program in British Columbia, the CCF (Co-operative Commonwealth Federation), and demonstrations by the National Unemployed Workers Association. - Expanded government role The Depression ultimately broadened expectations of government accountability for social and economic welfare. --- ## Government Handling of the Crisis 1. Initial denial Federal aid was refused to provinces, in the belief the slump was temporary. 2. Bennett’s relief efforts Relief camps, limited direct aid, and public-works projects—setting the stage for later programs. 3. Policy failures High tariffs, subsidies, and low spending worsened conditions before more effective social programs emerged. --- ## Conclusion The Great Depression wrecked Canada’s economic and social systems. Over-reliance on agricultural and industrial exports, close financial ties to the U.S., speculative finance, and policy missteps combined to deepen the crisis. Unemployment soared, relief systems were overwhelmed, and the crisis persisted until World War II, prompting fundamental shifts in government responsibility and economic policy. --- ## Works Cited - Bordo, Michael, and Angela Redish. “Credible Commitment and Exchange Rate Stability: Canada’s Interwar Experience.” Canadian Journal of Economics 23 (1990): 357–380. - Bryce, Robert. “Maturing in Hard Times: Canada’s Department of Finance through the Great Depression.” Toronto: Institute of Public Administration of Canada, 1986. - Bryden, Penny.

Seriously, if you can browse this Equestrian Collection and not feel like you want to host an afternoon tea (after a foxhunt in the English countryside) I will be impressed! I like to host simple birthday parties or small get togethers, so for me, the cheese/dessert stand was perfect. This stand is made from hand-blown, sturdy glass with a horse bit attached to the glass top. A hand-crafted leather knob handle sits on top so you can easily move the glass dome without creating fingerprint smudges on the glass. In this particular set, there are three different heights to choose from. One stand is fun, but having two or more at staggered heights would also be eye catching. Horse Bit Glass Dome PC: Shannen Smyth Photography The holidays are coming up which makes it a great time to update your dinerware and home decor. I know I am going to be ordering some special pieces for Thanksgiving from Vagabond House. The addition of the Equestrian Collection will make it hard to stop at just one item in my shopping cart! Hello, Corro…We’ve Been Waiting For You. Introducing Corro, a fresh new equestrian retailer and one-stop shop for all your horsey and stable needs. With fantastic customer service and goods promised “at the best prices guaranteed,” you might just have a new favorite online tack store. And honestly, it just feels good to shop somewhere different from the “big” guys, if you know what I mean! The next show I am going to is in October and I plan to do a division on Hamster, as well as help groom for Charlottetowne Stable. At a big show, it is super easy to misplace things and feel disorganized by the 4th day, especially if everyone is sharing supplies! This time, I wanted to create my own Hamster-friendly show supplies in an effort to feel more organized and help calm my show nerves. Luckily, Corro was there to help me get started. The website was very easy to use and simple to search for specific items. I also saw new brands that I hadn’t heard of before and I really appreciated that. I sent a few questions to one of the shop consultants and she was quick to answer and offer suggestions. It really was a great first experience. Hamster unboxing his show goodies from Corro! Look inside my order and you can see that it is pretty diverse! 1. Jolly Stall Snack. Hamster is 5 and wants constant attention at his stall, especially at shows when there is extra aisle foot traffic. This Jolly Snack will hopefully make him more content having alone time! 2. To help brighten his light coat and enhance his dapples, I got the Vetrolin White ‘N Brite Shampoo. Don’t let the word “white” scare you, it works just as well on darker coats too, without bleaching them out. 3. My favorite tail detangler recently switched manufacturers, so I was up for trying a common barn favorite: Cowboy Magic Detangler & Shine. Poor Hamster’s tail needs all the help it can get! 4. Knotty Horse Apricot Oil Highlighting Coat Shine. Knotty Horse is a brand I am not familiar with but Corro had great things to say about them. I was looking for a finishing spray, something I could use as a groom minutes before show prep. I really look forward to giving this product a try on both Ham and Chloe. It will be interesting to see how it does on two different colored coats. 5. Sole Pack Medicated Hoof Packing. I probably should have gotten the individual use “paddies” for easier show use, but this large quantity is great to have on the trailer in case you need it. We have definitely been to a few show venues here in the South where the footing hasn’t been the best, so sometimes we have to stay ahead of potential sore feet. 6. Poor little Hamster was getting a rub from one of his older bell boots, so I thought these Centaur Fleece Cuff Bell Boots would do the trick and help prevent two things we definitely do not want to see at the horse show: an ugly rub and a missing shoe! 7. To keep tack and my tall boots looking show ready, Corro suggested the Effax Leather Combination Cleaner. I like it because it does not leave a greasy residue behind. 8. Hamster is not going to like this one, but the Slow Hay Feeder will help slow his hay chomping down and hopefully not only help the barn’s hay bill, but will also curb some of that stall boredom I referred to above. Whether you ride English or Western, all of your horse and stable shopping needs are just a click away. Also worth noting is the guaranteed prices. If you find an item for cheaper elsewhere, they will match it or better. Corro also guarantees receipt of purchases within 5 business days and shipping is free when you spend over $99. In essence, your complete satisfication is guaranteed when you shop Corro. Use code HORSEGLAM at checkout and receive an additional 10% off your total order! Visit CORRO to get started now! The Hippest Rider’s Wristlet The Hippest Rider’s Wristlet The Rider’s Wristlet from Black Knight Accessories is just what it sounds like. It is a leather wristlet, with zip compartments that can hold multiple items (like keys, phone, treats, chapstick, money). It can also be worn four different ways, but more on that later. Without hesitation, The Rider’s Wristlet, or “RW,” is one of my most loved items in my closet. Oh, let me count the ways… Safety. I often ride alone. Chloe, even at 19, is unpredictable. It’s nice to know that if I did fall off, I could call for help because my phone would be by my side. I imagine it would be invaluable for those of us that like to ride on the trails or do cross country! Convenience. It is sooo nice to have all your must-haves on your person, hands-free. No more looking for my phone at the barn. At horseshows, it is even more of a blessing. Now it is easier for those last minute phone calls or texts from the show ring, back to the barn, looking for a number or an extra ear plug. If I need to grab something to eat, my credit card is already on me and I don’t have to trek back to the barn or car to get money. Versatility. My RW can be worn four different ways. So basically you get four different options for the price of one. Winning! Are you ready? 1. It can be used as a regular, mainstream wristlet. It comes with a snazzy strap that attaches when needed. 2. Add a youthful crosstie body chain when you want to use your RW as a crossbody. I love this feature and I love the chain aesthetics. My RW has accompanied me to concerts, girls’ nights out and shopping trips. 3. Leave your RW naked (strapless) and drop it in your bigger bag or show trunk as a wallet or organizer. 4. As previously discussed, attach to a belt for hands free storage and convenience. The RW can attach to any belt with its simple snap closure or you can take your purchase to the next level by ordering a belt like this one from Black Knight Accessories. Put your name on it. I wouldn’t be a true equestrian if I didn’t want to monogram everything. Black Knight also gives you the option of including a “name plate” and of course I wanted to put “Horse Glam” on there. The color of the plate and type of font is fully customizable. Stylish. I can honestly say I have never seen a RW that I haven’t liked. The color combinations are endless, the leather textures are numerous. I already have my eyes on this one, and I just received mine this summer! Join the Round Table and get your Black Knight RW here. Use code HORSEGLAM for 10% off!! If you have any questions, drop her an email – her customer service is great! Quality Tack For Less. Much Less. This beautiful, fancy stitched, square-raised bridle and matching fancy stitched reins will cost you only $205. Yes! That is not a typo. Bridle + Reins = $205. You = happy. Hamster, wearing the Fancy Stitched bridle from Pure Harmony Equine Apparel PC: Jennifer Blades Photography In a sport where almost every big purchase requires you to eat a week’s worth of Ramen, finding good and quality deals is a game changer. Especially for something as important as your tack. Pure Harmony Equine Apparel offers you beautiful leather pieces at prices you can afford and they also have customer service you won’t find at the bigger stores. Owner, Lisa Updike, is not only knowledgable and responsive but she is adamant about helping you find near custom-like pieces for your horse. She treats every purchase like it is $1,000 and she takes great pride in outfitting your horse correctly. When I was placing Hamster’s bridle order, she requested me to do multiple measurements to his current bridle, in an effort to get the best fit. After she received the numbers, she suggested that Hamster have a bridle that was part Horse size and part Cob size. The result was a perfect fit. My trainer was so impressed, she immediately ordered a second bridle for a new horse at the barn. Note that when you mix sizing, it can cost up to $1o more. Pure Harmony Equine Apparel is the exclusive dealer in the US of White Medallion Italian leather. Lisa even visited the leather factory to make sure the facility and the product was up to her standards. This level of care and pride in her store is a reflection of the quality tack and customer service you will receive. In fact, prior to receiving the bridle, I also received a leather show halter for Hamster. After it arrived and we put it on him, I thought that it would be better in the smaller Cob size. I messaged Lisa, with pictures, and she agreed. The exchange was easy and fast. Before I sent the Horse sized Fancy Stitch and Padded halter back, we borrowed a larger horse, Aracino, and snapped this picture below. Like the bridles, the halters come in numerous styles, leather and hardware colors and even price points. This particular halter is priced at $135, but the Standard halter is almost half that price if you are not in the market for a show halter. Aracino in the Fancy Stitched Halter from Pure Harmony Equine Apparel PC: Jennifer Blades Photography I am so pleased to have met Lisa, and to have learned more about the various products she provides through Pure Harmony Equine Apparel. It is nice to know that quality tack and equipment does not have to break the bank. Everyday with Dapplebay Dapplebay Sunshine & Horses Tshirt PC: Shannen Smyth Photography If you are looking for casual clothing with an equestrian touch, or even an easy gift for your horsey friend, I am confident you can find what you are looking for at Dapplebay. Dapplebay has apparel and accessories that are fun, fresh and often sport a cute or witty equestrian theme. From cellphone cases to baseball hats, Dapplebay has got you covered. I get so many comments about my Dapplebay iPhone case that says something we all have thought from one time or another: “I like horses not people.” Naturally I have the matching t-shirt which is a necessary staple for those rough Mondays! Dapplebay t-shirts come in slim cut and boyfriend tee styles, but I tend to gravitate to fits that are looser like the boyfriend t-shirts. They tuck in easily and I feel more comfortable with the extra material to spare, especially if I want to half tuck it in. I Like Horses Not People, T-shirt and Cell Case PC: Shannen Smyth Photography I am obsessed with my “Good Rides Only” cropped hooded sweatshirt (also comes in non-hooded option) and cannot wait for temperatures to dip lower in the fall so I can wear it weekly! To say it is soft and comfy is an understatement. The fleece interior, dropped shoulder and extra long arms are so cozy. I love the play on the popular saying “Good Vibes Only” too. If you like this phrase, you can find it on t-shirts here. If you like my vintage black cotton twill hat, then be sure to visit this link where you can pick from numerous equestrian sayings. I loved the fit of this hat so much that I asked Dapplebay if I could get one that had Horse Glam on it! It fits low, relaxed and snug on my head. Also worth mentioning is that Dapplebay has a NEW kids line, where most of the adult sized apparel is available in kids/youth, sizes 2-12. Leah was so nice to send Logan a t-shirt and she couldn’t wait to wear it to ride her first pony ever, Chase! When she saw that I had the matching t-shirt she about jumped for joy, it was so funny! Thanks Dapplebay for giving us a sneak peak of your new lifestyle collection! Can’t wait to see what is next! Logan wearing size 2 in Dapplebay Kids Keep a Cool Head. Wearing a navy myMareCo moisture wicking headband It is 9:30am. I am at the barn ready to ride Chlo and I am already sweating before I even sit on the saddle. Welcome to summer in North Carolina…and sometimes spring, fall and winter. Of course, wearing a ginormous black helmet on your head with little ventilation, under the intense beating sun isn’t the most ideal method for staying cool. I’d rather be safe than cool and sorry though. When I am riding and sweat starts trickling underneath my helmet, down my forehead and into my eyes, I use my forearm to wipe it away. Each time I do this maneuver, I can’t help but be aware of the unpleasant sensation of the dust and grime on my bare arm sticking to my wet face. This is where myMareCo enters the picture. myMareCo sells a moisture-wicking headband designed to keep any sweat from your head off your face. The headband has a wide band, stretching even wider when on your head. It slides over your ears, right over your hairnet. It’s very comfortable and sleek, without any bulk, so it will not affect your helmet size. When riding or walking around, you will forget it is there. We had a heat wave recently and I used it in temperatures of 94 degrees. My face was still wet, but it was not from sweat dripping down my forehead. The headband effectively caught all the moisture and kept it out of my eyes. I was also surprised to see how quickly it dried, making it easy to store for next time. An adult rider borrowed one of the headbands and had this to say: “One of the best things about this headband is I no longer have to worry about looking like I dunked my head in water during my ride. As someone who is a big sweater when I ride, I really enjoyed the headbands ability to keep it under control and from being absorbed into my helmet. It’s super thin and fits comfortably under my helmet. The over-the-ears feature also helps to keep earbuds in. Many people ride while listening to music and the headband keeps the earbuds locked in place while cantering around. This would be helpful when running, doing yoga or other active activities as well. myMareCo was created by an avid equestrian, but the headband is versatile and can be used for any activity where you want to keep the hair and sweat out of your face. My mom has asked to borrow one for Pickleball (similar to Tennis). Another feature advertised is that the headband helps to keep glasses from slipping down the bridge of your nose. I asked a Junior rider at my barn (who wears glasses and has this problem) to try the headband out for purposes of this review. She reported back that while her glasses slipped “only a tiny bit” she definitely noticed an improvement with the headband. She plans to keep on using the it when she rides. Wearing a black myMareCo headband. The myMareCo headband comes in numerous colors and patterns. Some are bright and feature pink, purple, white and green. However, if I am going to use the headband for riding, I prefer the solid, more conservative colors like black, white and navy. I think they blend in with my hair and my helmet and do not distract from my overall look. With over six colors to chose from, the myMareCo headband comes in enough colors to guarantee that you will match your outfit. They also come in packs of 2, 3 or 4 and can be hand washed. Currently priced between $10 and $16, depending on quantity, with free Amazon Prime shipping options. Additionally, they have a money back guarantee. You have nothing to lose by trying them! Buy your myMareCo headband HERE. Horse, Wash Your Face. Introducing Equi-Clean Grooming Wipes You will find face wipes in my bathroom, baby wipes in my car, and now, horse grooming wipes in my tack trunk. Baby wipes have always been part of my horse grooming routine, but NOW that Equi-Clean makes pre-moistened wipes in horse size, I only have to use one, instead of three regular-sized wipes per horse ear! It’s also nice to now know that I am using wipes on Chloe’s sensitive areas that are specifically designed with horses in mind and contain anti-fungal/anti-bacterial properties to help prevent fungus on the face, legs and body. No harsh chemicals here. In fact, they are made with the following natural herbs: Aloe Vera, Chamomile, Comfrey, Lavender and Thyme. Of course Chloe’s wipes sound better than my own face wipes! Typical! These wipes are not just for your horse’s eyes, ears and mouth, however. You can use them anywhere on your horse’s body that you want to remove dander, condition and create shine. Hence, cutting your grooming time down quite noticeably. In addition, the wipes are safe to use on your tack and riding boots (I didn’t hesitate to use them on my own Parlanti Boots). Because of this time and space saver, I took the package ring-side with me to our last horse show at Tyron International. As one of the show grooms, I was thankful that I did not have to lug around a stiff brush, wet towel and Show Sheen. Instead, I replaced the aforementioned items with my Equi-Clean Wipes. At the horse show, I used the wipes when a horse was on deck. The wipes easily took care of any sweat marks, sandy legs, bit slobber, etc. The pre-moistened feature was a godsend for the rider’s tall boots, horse boots (if jumpers/eq) and sweaty reins/dirty bridles. It is also worth mentioning that one wipe not only could be used for multiple horses, but it also was so large that it stayed moistened for hours (note that I had the wipe in my tote, out of the direct sun). This brings me to my next comment. When I first heard about Equi-Clean wipes, my first thought was “I wonder what makes this different than the generic baby wipes I am already using”. Besides being formulated for horses, the answer is the size! These wipes unfold to be about 10 times the size of a baby wipe, which makes sense since Chloe is 10 times the size of a toddler! And for those with dogs (and cats, if you have a death wish), these wipes can be used on all of our 4 legged friends, so you can toss your shampoos! To scoop your very own horse-sized grooming wipes, you can click here. Priced currently at $24.95, each package contains 25 extra large wipes (23.5″ x 16″) that will last you multiple uses per wipe.

Manhattan Saddlery House Label Manhattan Saddlery House Label If I could visit any tack store in the country it would definitely be Manhattan Saddlery. The only tack store located in New York City, Manhattan Saddlery has been New York’s destination for all things horse and rider since 1912. Located on 24th street in a historic, split level space, Manhattan Saddlery displays equipment, goods and apparel ranging from Jackie-O traditional and classic, to the very latest in equestrian trends. Recently launched is the Manhattan Saddlery House Label, which features a line of items designed in-house by an experienced team of lifelong equestrians. The Claremont Belt is one of the first items released by the House Label and is named after the last riding stable in New York City. You cannot beat the look of this classic spur buckle. It instantly adds a look of equestrian sophistication to your outfit. The Claremont Belt comes in black or havana leather, with silver (nickel plated) or gold (brass) buckles, respectively. The bridle leather is top quality, deriving from a 150 year old tannery. I love wearing equestrian pieces in the mainstream world, especially when they are subtle nods to our sport like the Claremont Belt. This belt is as easy to pair with jeans as it is with riding breeches. At 1 1/2 inches wide, I have had no problem with it fitting any of my pants, breeches or mainstream. The belt pictured is a size 30. Note that most of my belts are a size 32, but I thought sizing down would give the belt a cleaner look (I am on the last hole in this pictures). A quick way to determine your size is to measure your favorite belt from the hole most use to the start of the buckle. The Claremont Belt is currently priced at $109, but use my code ANDREA20 for 20% off your House Label purchases at Manhattan Saddlery! Silk Scarves: The Perfect Summer Accessory If your outfit is missing something, but you can’t determine just what that something is, do not hesitate to grab a silk scarf. This simple, yet often overlooked fashion accessory, can immediately take your look from casual to chic. In the first picture, I was wearing a white t-shirt (you can’t get more casual than this) and riding jeans, but as soon as I tied the Belmont Scarf from Apacceli around my neck, my outfit took on a completely different vibe. Then, the same scarf, tied differently, completely dressed up my black wide-legged jumpsuit. By loosely draping it around my shoulders, my beachy jumpsuit transitioned from coffeeshop casual to cocktails with friends. As much as I love black and white and the beautiful designs intertwined in the Belmont Scarf, I was very drawn to the cool colors in the Apacceli Preakness Scarf. This silk scarf depicts four jockeys and galloping horses, with alternating stripes in calming hues of pastel green, lilac and ivory. It is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Giving a nod to the equestrian theme, I paired the Preakness Scarf with black riding breeches with tan knee patches from LeFash. I thought the black really made the cool colors of the silk pop. Tying the scarf as a bandana gave my equestrian attire a polish and it also helped to keep those sun rays off my neck and chest. I really loved this look. Like many people, I have always appreciated the look of a silk scarf, however I was really intimidated by them. I thought I had no idea how to tie or incorporate a scarf into my look. The goods news is twofold: 1. There are endless options for how to use and tie a silk scarf. 2. There is no wrong way to use or tie a silk scarf! Once I got over my phobia of “doing it wrong,” I recognized the positive addition they made to my wardrobe. I now look forward to the instant glam factor that a beautiful silk scarf can provide! For other color options and designs, be sure to check out the rest of the silk scarf collection from Apacceli. There is even one for horseshow dog lovers! Reasonably priced at $89. It’s Epic Epic Animal Superfood Treats PC: Shannen Smyth Photography Epic Horse Treats first contacted me about Chloe trying their handmade “superfood” animal treats. They are called “superfood” because the treats are made without any corn, wheat, soy, sugar, dyes, fillers or preservatives. Packed with vitamins, Omega 3-6-9, plant proteins and (healthy) plant fats, these treats are recommended for support of healthy joints, connective tissues, heart and brain function. Not only did Chloe’s eyes pop out of her head for these treats on the daily, but I felt good about her eating them. Sure, I think the decorative treats are so creative and they make fabulous gifts, but they aren’t treats I feel comfortable giving after every ride. Now if I could only do something about Chloe’s potato chip habit… Soon my whole barn was consuming boxes of these superfood treats, each horse hooked just as much as the next. My mom’s dog was also into them, as was the barn farrier’s corgi who consumed half a box when I wasn’t paying attention. Epic’s treats are for almost all animals: donkeys, dogs, pigs and even chickens! They really are a treat for the whole barn. It wasn’t long before Epic expanded their treat line to carrying CBD infused treats, providing additional noticeable benefits, such as calming and anti-inflammation. Since they contain no THC, they meet all horse show regulations. These are great additions to your snack bin, perfect for nervous horses or anxious 4 legged car travelers. The treats were my first experience with CBD products. I live in conservative North Carolina, and CBD shops are just now popping up in my area. When Epic branched out further from treats, into CBD salve and tonic sprays, I really did not know what to expect. Truthfully, I have never been so pleasantly surprised. Organic Healing Salve: consistency of shea butter. SALE! The organic healing salve can be used on horses. A quick smudge on the nostrils can help calm their anxiety. The smell is pretty strong, so don’t be surprised if you get a few lip curls. If your horse has shaved ears, you may want to apply it there. Honestly, I have used this product mostly in my own human household. One of my friends who also purchased the product said it best when she referred to the salve as “duct tape”. You really can use it on EVERY ache, pain or area of discomfort. It took me 15 minutes to be a believer in this product. Things it noticeably relieved: PMS cramps that woke me up in the middle of the night (sorry if TMI), pulled shoulder muscle from working out for the first time in months, my husband’s chronic knee ache, my family’s sinus pain and drainage issues from NC allergies, my neighbor’s back pain and head cold, and the list goes on. Duct tape, people, duct tape! It is pricy, I won’t disagree, but the jar is pretty big and the consistency is closer to shea butter, so a little goes a long way. It really is a fantastic product! UPDATE: SALE on SALVE going on NOW! Believe it or not, I saved the best for last. This is my favorite item in my everyday routine HANDS DOWN. I love Epic’s Face and Body Tonic spray. It moisturizes, tightens, tones, brightens, plumps, highlights, and improves the texture of my skin. You can tell a slight difference in a matter of days, but give it a month and you will really notice a change. I am at two months and I swear it has made my skin look years younger. It also makes me happy, which is an actual side effect of the spray that I didn’t realize until another friend (and Face Tonic user) pointed it out to me. Every morning and every night, I spray this on my clean face and let it air dry. I then put my moisturizer or sunscreen, as applicable, right over it. I cannot imagine it not being part of my skincare routine and I am starting to have anxiety about it running out. I brought it with me to the horse shows and I am even bringing it to Mexico this coming week. I linked the 2 month supply because I really think it just keeps getting better and better each day, but there is also a cheaper 1 month supply option. If you are looking for a change in your beauty regimen or even something nice to do for yourself, I highly suggest this product. You won’t be dissapointed! Reminder: there is no THC in CBD products. USE this code for 15% off on all Epic products: Horseglam Face Tonic. THE BEST THING EVER! See, I really did take it to Mexico!! Apacceli: Luxury with an Equestrian Twist Apacceli launched last Fall promising luxury clothing, with an equestrian twist, made for the athletic woman. I received two of their current pieces, both of which fulfilled Apacceli’s promise. The Studded Sweater is dark gray, with gunmetal studs placed in flattering patterns. The neckline is wide with a more conservative front cut, but surprises in the back where it dips into a lower, feminine V. I wore mine with Botori riding breeches to play on the equestrian feel, but the Studded Sweater would stun in a pair of black jeans and booties. It could easily transition from casual Friday at work to dinner that night with your girlfriends. It is cut shorter than I anticipated, but I thought the length (hitting right at my belt loop area) gave it a modern, younger feel. Inspired by the famous cave paintings in France (I drew a blank so I had to Google too, don’t worry!), the Lascaux Bull Sweater uses faceted studs and maroon colored brush strokes to create the outline of a bull. I originally was going to wear black cut-up jeans with the sweater to balance out the fancy stud detail, but at the last minute decided to embrace the glamour. I used faux leather leggings and loved the final look. As you can see from the pictures, Apacceli delivered on luxury. The pieces are luxe and well made. They also are not cheap, each around $200. The equestrian influence is also apparent but subtle. The studs were a nice touch that did not distract from the overall picture. The sizing is based off an athletic build so you should size down if you are in between sizes. Both of my sweaters are a size XS. I previously mentioned that both sweaters would look great with black jeans. Conveniently, Apacceli sells black jeans with gunmetal studs, similar to those on the Studded Sweater. These are currently sold out, but definitely something to think about when they are re-stocked. If you are in the market for cocktail attire or a formal dress, be sure to check out Apacceli’s Velvet Cape dress. Off-the shoulder and hitting mid-thigh, this would be a showstopper. I look forward to seeing the upcoming collections from Apacceli. Be sure to follow them on Instagram to see what is next! Velvet Cape Dress; Picture from Apacceli The Infused Equestrian: For Horse and Rider (by Chloe) As a horse, I usually don’t pay much attention to what I am eating or wearing, but today it is trendy to be ingredient and label savvy. Never one to be socially aloof (unless you are trying to catch me in my field), I have been taking more of an interest in what Andrea has been soaking my legs in or spraying my beautiful mane with. I might be just a measly horse (with a Tier One law degree), but I don’t think most humans can pronounce all of the ingredients they are putting on their supposed “best friends”. For instance, when looking at the liniment gel in Andrea’s trunk, the first five ingredients are: Acrylates/C10-30, Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Chloroxylenol, Cyclomethicone. Umm, okay. Let’s check the fly spray that Andrea immerses me in ALL Spring, Summer and Fall. Again, another long list of seven syllable words. Then it clicked. Andrea has been trying to poison me. I knew it! She’s always been jealous of my popularity. Lucky for me, I have become friends with the owners of The Infused Equestrian. They make ALL their products naturally, with 100% infused therapeutic oils. Say goodbye to harsh toxins that you don’t recognize. With The Infused Equestrian, you can get the results you want, with the added comfort of knowing exactly what you are putting on your horse. And to top it off, the products work and they smell fantastic. I am about to have my 19th birthday, so it is understandable that I have some extra aches and pains. Particularly after Andrea is done riding me, as she sits off to one side and causes my back to hurt. My minions have been rubbing my back and legs with Comfort, the cooling and relaxing liniment gel from The Infused Equestrian. Comfort soothes my muscles and aids in their recovery. And compared to the previous liniment, I actually know these pure ingredients: Aloe Vera Gel, Spearmint, Peppermint, Ginger and Tea Tree essential oils. Sounds almost like something I could eat! Nothing looks better than a shiny, healthy mane and tail. The Infused Equestrian can hook you up with just this, but without any toxins. Shiny nourishes, strengthens and conditions your flowing locks with pure essential oils like Coconut Oil, Rosemary, Cedarwood and Clove (not limited to). Shiny comes in a spray bottle for easy and effective use. I personally enjoy fly spray. Andrea, on the other hand, tries to avoid the blowback from the spray hitting her exposed skin at all costs. After reading the label, now I know why! The Infused Equestrian makes their own pure and natural version of fly spray called “Swat. A Fly Spray”. Now, Andrea does not have to do Matrix-like back bends to avoid the spray particles from landing on her face. Due to the timing of this review, I was not able to test it on any flies, but I will be sure to post an update later this year. The Infused Equestrian has four different essential oil roll-on blends for the Rider. Andrea received two that were quite fitting, called Hello Monday and O.M.G. The other two roller blends are titled, “The In Gate” and “Recovery”, for focus and injury repair, respectively. Each roll-on is a convenient 10ml glass bottle with stainless steel rolling ball, easy to slip in your pocket or store in your trunk. To use, just gently roll the blends around your stomach area in a circle. O.M.G, or Oh My Girth, is perfect for Andrea on the weekends. She eats like a horse. Now she can continue to stuff her face with grilled cheeses at the horse show and rely on a blend of essential oils to help with her digestive pains. Hello Monday helps to combat Andrea’s moodiness and rejuvenate her mind and body. I wish she would use this on the daily. Major thanks to The Infused Equestrian for spending time and money researching the healthiest and best ways to make your products. Your 4 legged best friends appreciate it! xo Chloe Botori “G2” – An Update to My 2018 Review. Botori “G2” Riding Pant; PC Shannen Smyth Photography Nearly one year ago I wrote this review (click here) on Botori and their first riding pant, the Gina. I liked the pants back then, but I really love them now. This Winter, Botori updated the fit of the Gina, calling the new version the “G2”. Don’t fret, Botori kept all the original parts that made the Gina a must-have: the brushed warm fleece, the ribbed ankle cuffs, the streamlined mesh pockets (perfect for your cell phone while riding), shape retention fabric and opaque material (no see through moments). The G2 improves upon the waistband fit. It is still ribbed, which makes it comfortable and flexible. It is also still high waisted, which I still very much appreciate. However, the waist area compression has been greatly improved. You may recall from my review last year that I did have some problems with the pants slipping down. This year, I tested the G2 over an 8 hour day and paid careful attention to how often I readjusted the waist area. I had gotten this question from my Instagram followers so often after the release of the G2 that I took this quest really seriously and even made notes. I wore the G2 from 8:30am to 3:30pm, using them to ride Chloe, then to scrub her legs afterwards (pesky scratches) and then for 5 hours worth of errands and toddler things. During that nearly 8 hr period I only had to readjust twice. Once was after I was done washing, scrubbing and drying Chloe’s legs. The second was after Logan (2 yr old) was throwing a fit about me carrying her on my hip throughout Target, as opposed to riding in the cart. Needless to say, I was very pleased with the results. Botori is a young company, but they really understand the needs and wants of a modern rider and woman on the constant go. If you have a chance to buy one new item this Winter/Spring, I really suggest the G2 or even the Taylor pant. At only $85- $110, you won’t regret it. I have lived in the G2 this Winter, refusing to sacrifice comfort and versatility for a traditional waistband and belt! Use my code HORSEGLAM10 for 10% off your order! New Year, New Skin…thanks to Medica Labs When it comes to anti-aging products, the ingredient retinol plays a major role. Sadly, I had such bad experiences with retinol products that I had given up using it. Even the smallest amounts would have my skin irritated and peeling for WEEKS! Being in the sun makes it even worse, and honestly as an equestrian and a mom of 2 little ones, avoiding the sun is pretty much impossible. So when Medica Labs reached out to me about reviewing Emu Medica, their new anti-aging face cream that contains over the counter strength retinol, I was very hesitant. I explained that I worried “my face would fall off” and how if that happened, the review would have to reflect it. When the product arrived, it came with a personal note from Medica Lab’s marketing director promising me “my face would stay on”. So, on January 3rd, after washing my face, I used the most microscopic amount (gently applying in upward strokes per the instructions) and waited. I woke up the next day, and as promised, my face was still there. And it wasn’t red. And it wasn’t flakey. Since then, I have gradually applied more with each use, about once per day (I might have skipped some days when I didn’t shower…don’t judge). I am also careful to use sunscreen. Luckily I have had ZERO sensitivity issues and no peeling. This is because Emu Medica uses a patented, next generation form of retinol that delivers the highest power of non-prescription retinol possible (1% retinol; 2.5% non-active retinol) but in a way that is tolerated by the most sensitive skin. They call this magic “the next generation retinol” or “not your mother’s retinol”. Cute. Power Point: Despite containing retinol, this will not irritate your face! As I have mentioned in previous blogs, my face is always dry and I never travel without a face lotion. Typically any sort of anti-aging creams leave my face dry and tight, especially in my cheeks. After applying Emu Medica at night, I only felt the need to double up with my own moisturizing cream a few times. Emu Medica uses ultra-pure Emu Oil (ELA 1004) to hydrate the skin. It also contains the moisture binding ingredient, Hyaluronic Acid, which essentially doubles the hydration of the Emu Oil, and is most likely why my face didn’t feel uncomfortably tight. Besides feeling smooth and supple, well hydrated/moisturized skin is crucial in terms of anti-aging as it is essentially what keeps our skin plump, elastic and young-looking. Power Point: Ingredients Emu Oil + Hyaluronic Acid keep your face Hydrated… and Radiant. Let’s talk some more about Emu Oil. For centuries in Australia, it has been used by the indigenous people as an all purpose beauty/health fix, specifically for the skin. Not only can it be used to treat fine lines, sun damage, increase elasticity, decrease sagging and hydrate, but it also can be used as a vehicle for trans-dermal penetration. Retinol is great, but if it can’t penetrate to the deep skin layers that it needs to, it doesn’t do any good. Emu Oil is a natural oil that most closely resembles our human sebum, and because of this it most easily allows for the active ingredients of Emu Medica to penetrate to the deepest levels of the dermis, going through 4 more layers of skin than most creams.* (*Note: This information was found on Medica Lab’s website) Power Point: Deeper dermal penetration than most creams After approximately 30 days of use, I can report the following: my face did not fall off and was not irritated or chapped. Fine lines around my eyes and forehead were diminished. However, the deeper lines around my mouth and forehead did not appear to change – but I will keep using and report back! My face felt smoother overall and more taut (in a good way). I did think I regained some “plumpness” for lack of a better word in my cheek areas, but of course that could be psychological…or my collagen could have truly been regenerated. In summary, I do feel like my face looks more fresh, especially in the mornings. I feel like it looks more healthy too. I am definitely going to continue to use Emu Medica as part of my everyday skin care regime. This new year has been about becoming a better and healthier version of me and I am thankful that Medica Labs could help me kick it off with more radiant skin!

Giddy-Up Goodies: Not Just Another Equestrian Subscription Box I know you are probably thinking, “another subscription box review?” But have I yet mentioned this is my favorite box so far? Seriously, it is the first box where I have used all of the products fairly quickly instead of having them collect dust in my trunk. In other words, each product was useful! It is also the first box that has full sized items instead of sample sizes. I had zero expectations but was very pleasantly surprised when I opened the Giddy-Up Goodie Box. Let’s open it together! The first thing you notice is the handy flyer pasted to the inside of the box. This colored sheet clearly details all of the items in the box, with a little description of each one. I actually really appreciated this and liked that it was the first thing that I saw. Now, on to the goodies! 1. Equine Edibles Candy Cane Mash. I was SOOO pumped to see this. The bag made a medium sized bucket full of minty-fresh mash. It was easy to mix – you actually poured the water directly into the bag, kneading it with your hands. With the chunks of peppermints and cinnamon flavors, it smelled delicious and I was momentarily jealous of Chloe. It made for a wonderful Christmas surprise for her – she licked the bucket clean! 2. Stirrup Covers from MantraLove. Not only do these covers protect your saddle from being scratched by your stirrups, but they look adorable and quickly slip on without any fuss. A year ago I had grey stirrups that would rub off on my saddle, leaving me with pasty looking residue. It was the worst! These would have been great for that. You can also use the covers to wipe off your stirrups before you slip them inside! 3. Bit Wash from Bit Butter. Wash and disinfect your bits with this convenient spray bottle from Bit Butter. Large enough to last you for at least a year, but small enough to fit easily into your trunk. It also is flavored with peppermint so your horse will thank you! 4. Quic Silver Shampoo. A full-size bottle of the infamous shampoo that intensifies and whitens your horse’s coat. I used to go through bottles of this stuff when I had a grey pony. This shampoo could get any stain out and have her coat gleaming. Chloe only has a small white spot so I gave the bottle to a barn friend that has a white gelding. Needless to say, she was very grateful! 5. Holiday Treats from Enjoy Yums. You can never ever have enough treats on hand at the barn and Enjoy Yums hooks you up with a large, super cute and handy gift bag full of tasty treats made of simple oats and rice bran. 6. Multiple purpose brush from HAAS. This waterproof, shatter resistant (yes, Chloe has stepped on my brushes before) brush from HAAS has dense silver bristles strong enough for use on mane/tails and legs/coats. Truthfully my brushes are looking a little ratchet so I really welcomed the opportunity to replace one in my grooming kit. It is really pretty as far as brushes go, so would make an excellent show kit brush too. As you can see, the contents of the box are all relevant, immediately useable, non-discipline specific and thoughtful. Usually with other box services there is at least one (usually more) item that I never open or use, but I was excited about each of these products. So, let’s talk about price. I did the math and the total cost of each of these above items would be around $62 (note this does not necessarily include shipping) if you were purchasing on your own. The cost of the monthly subscription service is anywhere between $45 (12 month sign up) and $60 (a one time gig). No shipping fees on subscriptions. (There is also a $19 Mystery Box option which intrigues me, but let’s stay on topic here). Therefore, it is noticeably cheaper to go through Giddy-Up, but not quite as extreme as the NF.Edit Box. That being said, I personally would rather love and use everything in the box! One big difference between Giddy-Up and the other boxes, is that Giddy-Up comes monthly instead of quarterly. I think this is pretty fun. I always love receiving any subscription box because it is like receiving a gift. I never know exactly what is going to be in there and how often do you get surprises like that anymore? Thanks Giddy-Up Goodies for a great Christmas surprise! blanketsafe (by Chloe) img_5736 I am surrounded by filthy animals. Did you know that my pasture-mate actually rolls in mud? M.U.D. And she is a mare! I won’t even tell you what the geldings are doing, but I am sure you can picture what their blankets look like. How can those boys wear a blanket every day that is encrusted with dirt, mud and even poop? And usually not even their own poop! Needless to say, you can imagine how happy I was to receive professional grade horse blanket wash/deodorizer and blanket water-repellant from Blanket Safe. Blanket Safe’s wash is completely detergent free, meaning that there are no chemicals used and no oily residues left behind to irritate my skin. This is fantastic news when you want to keep your coat from looking sun bleached. Blanket Safe wash is also low-sudsing which allows for easy rinsing and further protects even the most sensitive skinned horse. Bonus for all you geldings out there (as well as my uncivilized pasture-mate): Blanket Safe is also antibacterial. Truthfully, a blanket doesn’t have to look disgusting to need antibacterial help. Pet odors start at the microscopic level! Yes, that big poop stain isn’t helping anything, but most odors are from mildew and mold and so even the cleanest looking blanket needs a wash. Blanket Safe’s antibacterial component helps destroy all this bacteria and resulting stinky odor. Additionally, for an extra kick, there is a deodorizer component with a light fresh lavender scent to it. It is VERY lightly scented, which I am grateful for because as a horse, my sense of smell is way stronger than a measly humans. img_5727 As you can see from the BEFORE pictures, someone must have borrowed my blankets and rolled in mud. I would never! My minions, Andrea and Jackie, took my 3 blankets, as well as around 12 other blankets from the barn, to the local laundromat to test out Blanket Safe. Let’s just say that when they went to the laundromat they had the blankets in the truck bed (away from their noses), but when they came back, all of the blankets were in the back seat. Andrea said there were no noticeable smells and she was amazed at how clean everything looked. This is important because I know they were overfilling some of the washers, meaning that Blanket Safe had to work extra hard to get some of those gelding blankets cleaned! Seriously, she should have taken a before picture of the other blankets because they were caked in mud. img_5749 They dried the blankets for only 10 minutes (delicate setting) so that they were damp when they took them back to the barn and hung them along the fence line. Then, they sprayed the blankets with the Blanket Safe water repellant spray. After shaking the bottle, you simply spray the repellant all over the outside of the blankets. Please note that it does not affect the breathability of the blanket. You may wonder why you need to add water repellant if the wash is detergent/chemical free. Almost all the major blanket companies recommend waterproofing your blanket at least every 2 years because environmental factors can ruin the waterproofability (is that a word?). Things like urine, poop, mud and even improper care, for instance, can ruin a blanket. After spraying the blankets, you let them air dry and that is it! Clean, water-repellant and ready for use! Thanks Blanket Safe for keeping a girl’s winter coats looking and smelling fresh! Friends: Use the coupon code “Chloe15” for 15% off! Buy HERE. ProTips: Always wash your blankets in COLD water. Never use regular detergent! Use water-repellant on your freshly cleaned blankets at least every second year of use! NF.Edit rh7a2988 PC: Shannen Smyth Photography As promised on my live unboxing video, here is my review of the new NF.Edit subscription box by Noelle Floyd. Unlike any other equestrian subscription box, this one is geared solely with the rider in mind. Take that Chloe! Each of the boxes are stamped with the message, “You spend your time taking care of your horse, so we’re taking care of you”. The items are geared towards rider indulgence, rider recovery, and rider performance. With the classy and fashionable lifestyle brand of Noelle Floyd behind the boxes, you are guaranteed to receive the best of the best products. They search extensively for what they call “rider realities” and they are taking the advice of some of the top riders in every discipline when they fill the boxes. Each box is $59 and promises over $100 worth of goodies related to health, beauty and fashion. The boxes come every 3 months, just like most other subscription box services. The contents of each box are a total surprise, which is definitely fun for the surprise factor, but also means that you cannot customize your boxes. Typically I would lean towards the customization factor of other boxes, but because I trust the NF.Edit team completely in their tastes, I am totally down for the surprise! It is sort of like opening up a birthday gift from your most fashionable and bestest friend. You just know it is going to be amazing and … it was! So what was in my September box, which happened to be the first EVER NF.Edit box? Hint: The retail value totals over $140! Let’s dive in: Rider Performance: img_4447 Scentuals De-Stress Scentuals seems to be tuned into my current riding mood lately. Actually, my current life mood. The NF.Edit box contained two roll-on essential oils by Scentuals. One was De-Stress, which obviously promises to calm you down, and the other was for Emotional Balance. Two things that you need before you sit on a horse, any horse. I am so excited to use these. I mentioned in my live video that I am a mess before I show (I mean total mess), but recently I am starting to get anxiety before my lessons, which is so silly. I really look forward to using these essential oils from Scentuals. I bet Chloe will appreciate it too! Note that the retail value is a total of $25. Rider Recovery. Essential Helmet Spray from Equestrian Wellness was such a pleasant surprise as my helmet had mold in it recently. Yes, MOLD!! The spray helps to break down and remove any bacteria from your helmet, so I will be sure to douse mine with my new spray before and after I ride. You can also use the spray on other things too, like your boots, gloves, and even hair (it is non-toxic and all natural). It retails for $14. img_4830 PC: Equestrian Wellness Another item from Scentuals was the quick absorbing Grapefruit and Turmeric Hand Cream. This could easily go under the rider indulgence category, but I am putting it under rider recovery for me. My hands are always so dry and rough from the harsh barn atmosphere and washing them 100 times a day. They totally need this cream in order to recover from this Summer. Retail value is $8. Rider Indulgence I was shocked to see a belt from Ruespari in the box. This belt alone retails for more than the cost of the subscription box. The color is called “black caviar” and the look and style is so classic it will go with every riding or non-riding outfit. My clasp was silver. I also liked that it is able to fit within all of my belt loops so far! Some of my current belts are too wide, which can be frustrating when you have a certain look in mind. Retail value is $75. img_4481 Ruespari Belt Who doesn’t like cozy socks, especially if they are by Dreamers&Schemers? Unlike their typical bootsocks, these are much thicker. I personally wouldn’t be able to get them under my custom half chaps because they are so tight, but that is okay because they will go perfectly under my jeans, or under some mainstream fashion boots. They will also be great for when I am bingeing on Netflix, which feels like it is every weekend. I am not sure of the retail value of this because it is a total custom thing for NF.Edit, but I would guess it is more than the typical bootsock of $18. So, not too bad for only $59, right?! I think NF.Edit delivered on their promise to deliver an equestrian lifestyle subscription box that focuses on health, fashion and beauty. What do you think? Let me know! Sign up for the next Winter box right HERE! HG + Equivont HG + Equivont I have owned Pony Glam for a few years now, so I feel like I have a good grasp on the struggles (and joys) of owning a small equestrian business. One of the main reasons I wanted to launch Horse Glam was to help spread the word about small brands like Pony Glam. I had met so many wonderful entrepreneurs that deserved to have their products seen in good lighting and given descriptive reviews, and I wanted to help them. A few months ago I was approached by Equivont, a new(ish) equestrian marketing company, about including Pony Glam in their online shopping marketplace. The marketplace was to focus on small, unique equestrian brands that the modern equestrian would want to learn more about and inevitably purchase. It is categorized in three sections “Style”, “Wellness” and “Tack”, with each section further broken down into “Horse” and “Rider”. These categories not only make obvious sense but they are easy to navigate. I set up a phone consultation and I really hit it off talking to Equivont cofounder, Jacyln Dunt. Our conversation went all over the place (like it typically does when I really like someone), from horses to life experiences to favorite tv shows to bachelorette parties, etc. I soon realized that Jaclyn, Equivont and I shared the same goal: being a big champion of small businesses. Equivont is more than an online marketplace. It also has a business directory where you can look up pretty much anything you may need for yourself, your horse or your farm…and even things you don’t know you need. For example, you can find trainers, tack shops, breeders, equestrian businesses services, barn facilities, chiropractors, vets, hauling companies, and tack reps listed, just to name a few. There is even a section where you can view horses for sale or lease from trusted brokers and sales barns worldwide. Many of these listings post which event or show the horses will be at next for easy trial or viewing. img_4748 As you can probably guess, Equivont is making a big push to be your one stop equestrian website stop, for both consumers and businesses. With some familiar brand names already listed (and some fellow Horse Glam friends: Bibimbap Skincare, The Fit Equestrian, Myst Equine and Mare Goods), I think they are well on their way. This makes my next sentence even more exciting (although the pictures are giving me away)! As part of the new “Blogger Referral Program”, Equivont and Horse Glam are teaming up to provide YOU with more blog posts and honest reviews of the products seen on the Equivont website. Let me and Chloe test all your horsey products before you part with your hard earned money! If you are a brand and you want to apply for these complimentary reviews, email [email protected]. Actually, even if you don’t want to participate in this referral program but you are a brand that wants help with your marketing and brand awareness, you should still email Equivont. They have effective and affordable marketing packages that can help you launch your brand to the next level. You deserve it! Introducing LD Equestrian img_4161 PC: Shannen Smyth Photography Second skin is the perfect way to describe these moisture wicking leggings from LD Equestrian. Made of soft, four-way stretch and non-shrinking fabric, these leggings are both durable and very comfortable. The leggings have “zoned compression” around your glutes for extra support and optimum shaping, which I really appreciated when taking close-up pictures! These technical leggings also have two side pockets, each large enough for a cellphone, and a small, hidden pocket inside the waistband. The smaller pocket can fit a house-key, which is handy if you use them for running, like I did. Small rhinestones on the back of the leggings add an extra embellishment. I loved the fit of these leggings. They are a bit tight going on, but once I managed to pull them up they fit me perfectly. As mentioned, there is zoned compression around your bottom, but honestly, I felt like this compression was everywhere (in a good way). The material is thin and cool for moisture wicking purposes, but when the leggings are on, they feel more substantial than you first think and you can’t help but feel confident in them. I really think this confidence comes across in my pictures. The website says you can ride in them, and there are many pictures and testimonials where people love riding in these leggings, however, please note that they do not have knee patches. For some riders this may not matter, but for me, I prefer to ride in breeches or tights/leggings that have traditional knee patches. I loved the fabric and fit of these leggings so much, that I was really happy to see that they have breeches (with knee patch grips) made of the same or similar fabric. I am wearing a size 2. These are black. They come in navy too. I have gotten tons of compliments on this top. It is a fantastic combination of sporty and sexy! It is blousy in the front and ties in the back, perfectly giving you a peek at the rhinestones on the leggings. The top comes in 5 colors! You really cannot beat the prices either. These ship from England but you can always catch big deals on their social media or website! In fact, both the leggings and the top are on a MAJOR sale right now! Let me know what you think! A Charmed Life by Chloe img_4324 It is always nice to be appreciated and recognized for the unicorn that you are. Bit N’ Bridle Boutique totally gets it. They get me. They sent me two charms that they felt had my name all over them. The cool thing about charms is that you can put them anywhere. I am going to put one on my C&C Signature leather halter. The other is going to go on my schooling bridle. If I wanted to be generous, I could share one with Andrea. She could put it on her key chain, a bookbag, a handbag or even on a bracelet. I am not feeling generous though. Bit N’ Bridle Boutique took a brief break last year from selling charms, but as of this August they are back and ready to customize charms for you! Charms cost on average $8 and are an affordable way to add some personality to your conservative equestrian items. They are easy to remove, if needed, and store so easily in your tack trunk that you can collect as many as you want. Let’s face it, some days you are feeling like a pink sparkly unicorn and other days you are more of a silver shimmery mermaid, so it is nice to have options. I also think they would make fun gifts to your riding pals and at only $8 you don’t need to wait for a special reason to give them out. img_3567 Bit N’ Bridle Boutique posts their different charms on their Instagram page. You can order via their PayPal link on the Instagram page and just drop a note regarding which charm you want. I have the white Unicorn Tear Charm and the pink Mermaid Charm for reference. If you want a custom order, just shoot them a direct message. They have great customer service and will respond timely. Also, if you didn’t catch my Live video, you should also know that they have very cute packaging and even more importantly, they are giving all my followers 15% off their order with the coupon code CHLOE15. Happy shopping! Cavali Club: What’s It All About? I was lucky enough to get Cavali Club’s inaugural subscription box. The Fall box order deadline has passed but you can still sign up for the Winter Box! Here are the facts you need to know: What is it going to cost me? Boxes ship out every 3 months (one for each season) and cost $55 for a one time subscription (that automatically renews) or $199 for the yearly subscription, which saves you $20 (which automatically renews yearly). In addition to the the $20 savings with the yearly subscription, you also get box customization options. This will make more sense when you keep reading below. Signing up is very easy. Just hit the “subscribe” button on this page. NOTE: Remember, each box has an approximate value of $150, approximately three times what you are paying! What is in these boxes? Full size products are in these boxes. Did you hear me? FULL SIZE! Every other subscription box I have seen has been sample size products, which honestly limits what brands and types of products can be represented. Here are the items that were included in my Fall Cavali Club box: Polo wraps made from fleece by Snowy Mountain Horse Shop, based in snowy Montana. These quality wraps are hand crafted and come in autumn colors with a Navajo print. There are a few different patterns you could receive, but they all are in the same western vibe and color scheme. Bit bracelet from Love the Links. Dainty and simplistic, this bracelet looks great alone or stacked with other arm candy. Your box could contain a bracelet in either gold, rose gold or silver. If you are a yearly subscription member, I believe this is an example of where you could customize your bracelet, as mentioned above. img_3389 Lip Treatment from Bibimbap Skincare. This is a chapstick on steroids. It soothes, protects and heals your delicate lips from all the harsh elements. This is great coming out of Summer and going into the chilly, dry months ahead. Bootsocks from Dreamers & Schemers. These socks need little introduction, as I doubt there is an equestrian that is unfamiliar with them. High quality and hilarious designs. It was really exciting to see what design was in the box! Every box contains 1 of 6 possible designs and none will disappoint! Again, another example of the customization option for yearly subscription members. Cable knitted headband with fleece lining from Equestrian Stockholm. This cozy headband will be perfect for keeping my ears toasty when I am not riding. I love the dark navy color because I can even wear it with black. Looking forward to keeping this in my tack trunk in a few weeks when the temperatures dip here in North Carolina. Hair and Tail Mask by Pampered Skin. Perfect for coming out of the harsh Summer weeks (sun damage, chlorine damage), this hair mask can be used to hydrate and nourish damaged, dry hair. Bonus, it can be used on your horse’s tail too!! You know I am definitely using this on Chloe! She gets all my good things (and all my money). img_3365 What makes this box different?: Cavali is different than other subscription boxes I have used because it is geared to both horse and rider (not just the horse). Also, as previously mentioned, you get full sizes of the products. It was admittedly fun to receive a headband for myself, for example, in the Cavali Club box and not a sample size of thrush ointment for Chloe. Not to hate on thrush medicine, but I have like 3 little bottles of it that I have never opened, all samples from other boxes! So, join the fun at Cavali Club and get your first box this Winter!! It will be like Christmas!!	# French and Spanish website translations completed June 28, 2006 The website has been translated completely into French and Spanish. Job complete.

1,077,324,101,668,623,600	42 People Who Need a Stern Talkin-To (Who Aren’t named Hope Solo) hope lede He gets just enough of the save to keep the match level! I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore. Well, okay. I’m not happy. I noticed Hopey Solo – I mean, Hope – trending on Twitter the other night. That can’t be good, I thought. And it wasn’t. Turns out, Boo got suspended for six months for mouthing off after a shootout loss to Sweden in the World Cup. The USWNT also terminated her contract. She called the Swedes “cowards” for their conservative tactics in a tied match against the U.S. I disagree with her. In my eyes, Sweden played legal tactics that give them the best chance at winning. Hope’s diatribe was only words. No mammals were traumatized. Amphibians either. It might have lacked class, but Hope responded honestly to a question. For it to cost her a contract? Absurd. It’s societal. We want to condemn others for their worst, while lauding ourselves at our best. Hope’s been in trouble before. She’s also a huge part of America’s No. 1 ranking and a hero for young girls everywhere. I didn’t say perfect role model. I find her punishment harsh and cowardly, honestly. We’re quick to condemn and suspend and take the names of American historical figures off monuments and schools because of something they said or did. I used to vet authors I chose for quotes at the end of my posts. You know, make sure he or she doesn’t have ties to ISIS or David Duke or the American Pork Council. But you know what? Brilliant words aren’t brilliant conditionally. Brilliant words carry their own brilliance. They could come from a dictator, a vegan, even a raiders player. Yeah, I’m that serious. I might quote Bill Cosby or Andrew Jackson or even Rob Gronkowski. Let their words stand on their own, despite their collective deeds. Similarly, let’s give Hope Solo some space. She’s been given plenty, and has taken more, from her women’s professional team. You know, she does deserve a stern talking-to. Here, though, are 42 people, off the top of my head, who also could use one. And they ought to take a number ahead of Hopey, if you ask me. laundry photo credit: Washer door via photopin (license) 1.

Everything against the one that includes a car behind me so close I can’t see headlights (and can tell if the driver needs a nose-hair trim) 1. Hopey is lucky to have you standing in her corner. I will meet you anywhere for my stern talking to…several of those are me up and down. Thank you for the laugh this morning! Such a great writer and even greater man! 1. I think the kids call it bae. if three or more of these apply to you, there’s a special code you get for expedient handling and scheduling of your talking to. Glad to supply some laughs. I’ll settle for decent writer and not so horrible dude. 2. I agree with you about the over-reactive response to Hope. When I become empress of the universe I’m initiating a policy where everyone needs to take 3 deep breaths before doing anything. Clearly more oxygen will help up sanity levels, don’t you think? On my list of people who need a stern talking to I’d add the inventors of those impossible-to-open rigid clamshell boxes. If they insist on continuing to manufacture them, then they should at least supply bandages for those of us who end up injuring ourselves. 3. #18 is my favorite and still rankles me every time it take a fork out of a drawer ) p.s. the detroit lions sell pre-season game tickets for a dirt cheap price. we usually go every year for 9$ or less – 1. i’d have the flintstones or woody woodpecker on my silverware, beth. i could even deal with phineas and ferb on some spoons. i love that the lions do that. in so many nfl cities, fans never get to see the home team. except for jacksonville. they make kids who misbehave in class sit on the 50 yard line. 1. I’ve been better Mate but I’m still kicking. It’s been something of a rough trot over the past 10 months. There’s a need to find the bits that are missing in me, although I think the ones that drove me to write have vanished. Even photography is dying on the vine. Enough of my gloom, you seem to be motoring on. Hope all is well with you and the girls. Cheers, Laurie. 2. There you are, mate. You’re thought of often. My prediction is those bits for photography and writing will resurface in time, stronger than ever. It keeps rolling around here, with a different cast of characters than you probably remember. The girls are good, mate. I’ll email you. 3. Nice to be thought of. One day you reckon? It’s always good to have a change of cast. Looking forward to hearing from you. 4. Hehe, I had to do a double-take at the tailgaiting one. Maybe bc I’m from the South, but I thought about football games and grilling out, not cars. Definitely the latter! 1. You’re not the only one who got the tailgate stuff mixed up, Elle. For the record, I do love the southern idea of a tailgate. It’s almost God’s season, and by God’s season, I mean barbecue season, here in Carolina. 5. And what about that “weiner” politician guy who keeps trying to live up to his name, despite getting constantly caught? Like dude… is it really that magnificent? Or all the people leaving hateful comments to his long suffering and oft publicly humiliated wife? (thank God she is finally leaving him though — ha – not so cocky now are you idiot?!) 6. Your list made me laugh and say “Hell, yes!” I hate that Kaepernick won’t stand but I defend his right to do so. And why is it that we can never come up with the perfect response to someone’s stupidity (the guy at the Lazy 5 Ranch) until after the fact? 1. Glad it had that effect, Mo. I wish more people could understand that we don’t have to agree with someone’s stance to respect their right to have it. I’m so used to the “Guess My Race?” game. I’m not really offended. Now, if he knocks my sandwich out of my hand … that’s fightable. 7. I agree that there is a double standard with women’s athletes and men athletes. Men are rewarded for brashness and self centered behavior, while women are punished for it. However, hope solo needs to chill out for a bit, that domestic violence thing with her was enough. And I actually like her. As for your list; I think its funny, and I agree with a lot of it. #5 and #13 are the ones that always irritated me. 1. We’ve come a long way to bridge the divide in gender in sports, but there’s much to do. Sure, Hope’s not perfect, but who among us is? I hope the time away will do her some good. Early Maroon 5 songs were decent, you know? There’s one he just sings “ooo oh oh … ooo oh oh … ooo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh” for like 17 minutes. Waterboarding instead, please. 8. Yes, we do. I have alot of sisters,and they all play sports. So, this issue is a soft spot for me. I agree; I think hope needs a break. Yes, I loved” this love” or whatever its called, by maroon 5. HAHAHA; i thought i was the only one who hates todays pop warbles. 9. Definitely agree with that. Im only 28, but I sing my heart out to 70’s and 80’s songs more than todays current crap. My dad would always play classic rock for me as a kid.lol Leave a Reply to Rorybore Cancel reply Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in: WordPress.com Logo You are commenting using your WordPress.com account.

5,884,978,548,041,737,000	This Game is Witty, Charming, Gorgeous and Nigh-Unplayable "Oh good, this is one of those games," I thought to myself happily as I started up Marcus Eckert's Wide Sky on my iPod Touch. The gorgeous, somewhat melancholy music and stark, four-color imagery suggested that this would be one of those charming little independent mobile games that slips into the iTunes App Store quietly and slowly takes over the world. The feeling continued as the game's story unfolded. Here's an excerpt from the game's official description that captures the tone of the brief narrative quite nicely: Hedgehogs are troubled spirits, and yet, they never fail to entertain the masses with their acrobatic feats. Many people don't know, however, that hedgehogs aren't born this way. Hedgehogs need to be trained and molded into the tiny, fiscally responsible acrobats we know and love. Advertisement At that point everything about Wide Sky was shouting "Love me!" in my ear. I was fully prepared to give myself to this little hedgehog twirling game. Then I played it, or I tried to play it. Wide Sky gifted me with a hedgehog, a present that's always welcome. That hedgehog is equipped with a rope that can be extended from its body with a tap of the screen. The objective is to maneuver this hedgehog through the air, latching onto clouds with his rope in order to collect various objects and complete various tasks. It would be delightful were the controls not so damn frustrating. Advertisement There is a point on that tiny speck of a hedgehog from which the rope originates. It's incredibly tough to determine where that point is when he's spinning through the air at full speed. The rope extends, retracts and spins with the little bastard, so controlling him with any degree of precision is an exercise in futility. The idea is to have him grab onto clouds and then use the iPod or iPhone's acceleration to generate momentum, but these controls are incredibly touchy. I wound up relying on luck more than precision while playing through Wide Sky. There were times my rope would make perfect content, launching me gracefully towards my objective. More often than not I would wince and sigh as I hung ineffectually from a cloud, my goal just out of reach. Advertisement I want to play Wide Sky. I want to nail all of the objectives. I want to unlock the entire roster of special ropes (11 in all!). I want the narrator to address me with bemused detachment some more. I want it to be the amazing little indie game it almost is.

At that point everything about Wide Sky was shouting “Love me!” in my ear. I was fully prepared to give myself to this little hedgehog-twirling game. Then I played it, or I tried to play it. Wide Sky gifted me with a hedgehog, a present that’s always welcome. That hedgehog is equipped with a rope that can be extended from its body with a tap of the screen. The objective is to maneuver this hedgehog through the air, latching onto clouds with his rope in order to collect various objects and complete various tasks. It would be delightful were the controls not so damn frustrating. There is a point on that tiny speck of a hedgehog from which the rope originates. It’s incredibly tough to determine where that point is when he’s spinning through the air at full speed. The rope extends, retracts and spins with the little bastard, so controlling him with any degree of precision is an exercise in futility. The idea is to have him grab onto clouds and then use the iPod or iPhone’s acceleration to generate momentum, but these controls are incredibly touchy. I wound up relying on luck more than precision while playing through Wide Sky. There were times my rope would make perfect contact, launching me gracefully towards my objective. More often than not I would wince and sigh as I hung ineffectually from a cloud, my goal just out of reach. I want to play Wide Sky. I want to nail all of the objectives. I want to unlock the entire roster of special ropes (11 in all!). I want the narrator to address me with bemused detachment some more. I want it to be the amazing little indie game it almost is. --- ## Wide Sky - Genre: Hedgehog Platformer - Developer: Marcus Eckert - Platform: iOS - Price: $0.99 [Get Wide Sky on iTunes](https://itunes.apple.com) --- # Rebecca Jordon (1822–1884) Birth - 1822, Tennessee, United States - Sources: 2 Death - 1884 (Age 63), Grainger, Tennessee, United States - Sources: 0 Census - Rebecca Harville in household of Meredith Harville, United States Census, 1850 --- ## Family Members ### Spouse and Children Marriage: 09 Aug 1844, Grainger, Tennessee, United States Children (7): - Mary E.

3,994,542,534,304,771,000	va -A +A Many Veterans who were on jump status avoided going to sick call while on active duty so as not to be taken off of jump status, or because it was frowned upon by their command. After leaving active duty, sometimes several years after, they attempted to file a claim with the VA for service-connected disabilities such as Home Healthcare Tip When you are dealing with the VA for home health care options, it is common for the VHA to not explain that if you track hours and activities of daily living yourself, that can then be used as evidence to maintain the current level of care or to request an increase in hours or pay tiers. This sheet can be used to track hours and tasks done by the: CALUZA TRIANGLE: Before you file a claim or continue with your appeal, please understand what the VA needs to approve any claim. Any condition claimed has to be MEDICALLY documented in your records: Most veterans are aware they can appeal their compensation and pension decisions from the VA if they disagree with an entire VA decision or even just a portion of their decision. An appeal is a veteran's disagreement with a determination by VA to deny a benefit, request for reconsideration of a determination, or direct appeal to a higher level, such as the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board). Have you been denied your VA Disability Benefits? When trying to file for disability benefits, the odds might seem to be stacked against you. Part of the problem is because the VA is so backlogged with claims, the VA Raters (RVSRs) at the Regional Offices (RO) don’t have the time to fully develop each case. An average time the RVSR has to adjudicate your claim is about 35 minutes.

After leaving active duty, sometimes several years after, they attempted to file a claim with the VA for service‐connected disabilities such as … ## Home Healthcare Tip When you are dealing with the VA for home health care options, it is common for the VHA to not explain that if you track hours and activities of daily living yourself, that can then be used as evidence to maintain the current level of care or to request an increase in hours or pay tiers. This sheet can be used to track hours and tasks done by the patient. ## Before Filing a Claim Before you file a claim or continue with your appeal, please understand what the VA needs to approve any claim: - Any condition claimed has to be medically documented in your records. ## Appeals Process Most veterans are aware they can appeal their compensation and pension decisions from the VA if they disagree with an entire VA decision or even just a portion of their decision. An appeal is a veteran's disagreement with a determination by VA to deny a benefit, request for reconsideration of a determination, or direct appeal to a higher level, such as the Board of Veterans' Appeals. ## Denied VA Disability Benefits? When trying to file for disability benefits, the odds might seem to be stacked against you. Part of the problem is because the VA is so backlogged with claims, the VA Raters (RVSRs) at the Regional Offices (RO) don’t have the time to fully develop each case. An average time the RVSR has to adjudicate your claim is about 35 minutes. --- # Unione Residency Featured Websites - Unione residency is located at NH-24 Ghaziabad.

-675,913,541,173,319,300	‘Fear The Walking Dead’ Season 3 Spoilers: Series Star Talks About That Big Death, How ZA Changes Humanity Fear the Walking Dead Season 3 premiered last night on AMC. After months of waiting, fans got to see Episodes 1 and 2 back to back, which included the shocking death of a major character. In an interview, actor Cliff Curtis discussed the death and how the zombie apocalypse is changing humanity in the TV show. FTWD spoilers are ahead. If you are not caught up with the series, then do not continue reading. Shortly before the Season 3 premiere, executive producer Dave Erickson teased a few spoilers. He confirmed there would be a major character death, but he could not give any clues regarding who would die. However, he did hint that the death would be random, sudden, and will affect the entire group for the rest of the season. There were a lot of predictions, but few guessed that Travis would be the one to say goodbye. On AMC’s official website, Cliff Curtis held a Q&A session talking about the huge character death in Fear the Walking Dead. He also discussed preparing for the helicopter scene and believes the apocalypse is changing humanity in the show. The FTWD actor was asked if he was surprised that Travis died from humans rather than zombies. He explained that in the television show, it just proves that the living can be more dangerous than the dead. “I think one of the themes on the show is that the people are more dangerous than the zombies. The real danger in this world is how distorted humanity becomes when it’s solely focused on survival. Morality, values, and ethics all go out the window. It’s about how you can survive the next 10 minutes and protect the people that are going to help protect you because you can’t survive alone. You need people around you who are going to protect you. You can’t think about whether it’s the right thing to do. Maybe it’s the wrong thing to do, but if it’s going to help you survive another ten minutes in this world, you just have to do it.” We love you cliff! #cliffcurtis #Forever @feartwd @alyciajasmin A post shared by Kim Dickens (@kjdickens) on Curtis also discussed the changes that his character has gone through since the show first premiered. As fan recall, last season he discovered his son, Chris, was left to die after a car accident. Travis was feeling a wide array of emotions, including rage. In the Season 3 premiere of Fear the Walking Dead, Travis seemed to be a bit different. This was evident even though there was not a lot of dialogue after being captured by the militia group. “He’s kind of a numb character at the opening of Season 3, which gives him some calm and the ability to think outside of his old sense of morals and ethics and values. He puts that all to the side and says, ‘OK, how am I going to get Nick out of this situation alive and reunite with his mother alive?’ That’s all he has to think about. He doesn’t have to think about what’s right or what’s wrong or, ‘should I kill this person?’ Just kill them. If they’re in front of you and they’re between you and what you want, you kill that person. That’s it. It’s very simple. I think that gives him some peace in the apocalypse that Travis never had before.” Obviously, the person who is affected the most by Travis’ death is Madison (Kim Dickens). At the end of Season 3, Episode 2, she told Nick (Frank Dillane) and Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey) that they were staying at the ranch. She added, “even if we have to take it over.” However, the question remains: How much will she change as a result of her boyfriend dying, and will those changes be good or bad for her family? As Curtis said about Travis, being a good guy is not such a good thing in the apocalypse. The same can be said for Nick and Alicia’s mother. Madison needs to do what she needs to protect her family, but hopefully, she doesn’t turn into a villain either.

-4,616,597,615,999,880,000	The most important buildings in London – those with the greatest social significance for the mass of its people and those which have made the greatest visual impact on the capital – are council houses. In 1981, at peak, there were 769,996 council homes in the capital and they housed near 31 percent of its population. It’s partly this ubiquity and familiarity – and the fact, of course, that most council housing is happily ‘ordinary’ – that explains why few council estates make it into Open House London, the annual celebration of built heritage taking place this year on the weekend of the 21-22 September. Housing protest Open House itself has, to put it kindly, an ambivalent relationship to social housing. It features, as we will see, genuine celebrations of council housing’s past and present but too often controversial regeneration schemes are showcased with no reference to the disruption of established communities and the loss of social rent homes they entail. This post offers a chronological tour of the Open House London venues which do mark council housing’s progressive history and present necessity. This year, the Open House locations will be picked out in bold with the relevant link to the venue’s webpage and I’ll add links (in bold blue), where possible, to past blog posts which provide further information. We’ll begin, however, with a brief reference to some of the early garden suburbs which, while overwhelmingly middle-class in character, did provide a model for later council schemes. Fowlers Walk, Brentham Garden Suburb Brentham Garden Suburb The bohemian Bedford Park Estate, begun in 1875, might be described as the first cottage suburb. Gidea Park, promoted by several Liberal MPs (including Sir Tudor Walters of the famous wartime report on post-war housing) from 1897, is notable for the architectural contribution of a number of architects who would go on to design council schemes including Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin. The latter were the chief architects of the Brentham Garden Suburb in 1910 – important as a co-partnership scheme intended to cater for at least the more affluent of the working class. Hampstead Garden Suburb, founded in 1906 by Henrietta Barnett, was intended as a mixed community though it rapidly – given the quality of its design and build and relatively high rents – became a rather select middle-class enclave. Unwin and Parker were again key figures and the guided walk offered focuses on the Suburb’s ‘Artisan Quarter’. P1000827 Tower Gardens Estate Turning to council housing proper, it’s good to see Tower Gardens (or the White Hart Lane Estate) featured – designed and built by the London County Council (LCC) before the First World War: a cottage estate for working people inspired by the Garden City and Arts and Crafts movements of the day. Just under 1000 homes were built on the Estate before the war halted construction; a further 1266 houses and flats were added – in plainer style but in keeping with Garden City ideals – in a northwards extension to the Estate between the wars. Cottage Flats in Roe Lane Roe Green Village Roe Green Village wasn’t a council scheme – it was designed by Frank Baines in 1916, chief architect of the Office of Works, as housing for workers engaged in First World War armaments production. He had earlier designed the exemplary Well Hall Estate in Eltham for the same purpose. Both provided important inspiration for the ‘Homes for Heroes’ and council estates which emerged at the end of the war. Becontree Estate (8) The Becontree Estate In terms of size and ambition, there was no more important such estate than Becontree in east London. The LCC built 89,049 council homes in the capital between the wars; some 26,000 of these in the Becontree Estate in Dagenham, first mooted in 1919. It was the largest of the LCC’s interwar estates, housing by 1939 a population of 120,000. Such size (and an unpromising site) led some – despite the planners’ best efforts – to criticise the mass and uniformity of the Estate but to many, moving from inner-city slums, ‘it was heaven with the gates off.’ Take the opportunity, if you go, to visit the Valence House Museum which contains interesting exhibits on the estate. Front elevation of the original Fellowship An early photograph of the Fellowship Inn The Bellingham Estate in south London was another large interwar LCC estate with over 2000 homes and a population of 12,000, largely complete by 1923. The Fellowship Inn, now repurposed as a community venue including bar, cinema and café by Phoenix Community Housing, is an interesting example of the ‘improved public house’ that the Council hoped would ‘improve’ council house tenants. Eastbury Manor SN Eastbury Manor and estate It’s a stretch to include 16th century Eastbury Manor House in this listing but I’m fond of it and it has a rich municipal history amongst other things. It’s incongruously but delightfully situated plumb in the middle of another interwar council estate. Gascoyne Estate SN Cass House, the Gascoyne Estate The guided walk I’m leading which starts at the 1948 Gascoyne Estate (yet another LCC scheme in inception) takes in other similar interwar tenement blocks as well as some representative modernist high-rise. Vaine House and Granard House on Gascoyne II were inspired by Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation and would provide a model for the more famous Alton West scheme. It’s an eclectic mix and the walk sets out to illustrate a tapestry of London’s council housing over the years rather than present any of its better-know showpieces. (Please note numbers are strictly limited.) Acton Gardens and South Acton Acton Gardens Estate The Acton Gardens Estate was formerly known as the South Acton Estate or even (as a reference to a local laundry industry) ‘Soapsud Island’. Begun under a post-war slum clearance and redevelopment programme in 1949 and built over 30 years, South Acton became, with almost 2100 homes, one of the largest council estates in west London and it reflected that history in its range of housing and, in particular, the high-rise blocks that emerged from the later 1950s. It became a ‘problem estate’ and comprehensive regeneration was planned from 1996; the 21-storey Barrie Tower was demolished in 2001. You’re invited to admire the very significant changes that have taken place in the design and form of the estate since then and perhaps rightly so but it’s worth noting that the new estate contains 900 fewer affordable homes than its predecessor. (1) golden_lane-(c) Paul Lincoln Walking London Golden Lane Estate The Golden Lane Estate, inaugurated in 1950 and designed for the City of London by Powell, Chamberlin and Bon (who went on to design the neighbouring Barbican), is rightly celebrated for the innovative thinking and architecture which provided a model for the best of post-war council housing, particularly in the facilities intended to sustain ‘community’ and create ‘neighbourhood’ in an urban setting. Note that current plans to ‘densify’ the estate are opposed by many residents. © Stephen Richards and licensed for reuse under a Creative Commons Licence Balfron Tower The fight to save Balfron Tower is already lost. Designed by Ernő Goldfinger for the Greater London Council in 1968, Balfron is famous (or infamous according to taste) as one of the most imposing Brutalist designs of its time but it was, first and foremost, housing for working-class people being moved from local slums. Now the Grade II-listed block’s flats are in the hands of property developers Londonewcastle and being marketed to the affluent and hip middle classes. Visit Balfron Tower by all means but please don’t disregard this betrayal of the social purpose that built it. Trellick 2 Trellick Tower Fortunately, Balfron’s younger sister, Trellick Tower, opened in 1972, remains – despite the depredations of Right to Buy – in council ownership. 941-F The World’s End Estate Another landmark estate, this one created by the Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in happier times is the World’s End Estate. It’s an estate set on the banks of the Thames, completed in 1977 when the working class were still permitted river views. Designed by Eric Lyons and HT (‘Jim’) Cadbury-Brown, in plain terms World’s End comprises seven 18 to 21-storey tower blocks, joined in a figure of eight by nine four-storey walkway blocks but the whole, clad in warm-red brick, possesses a romantic, castellated appearance, providing great views within and without. IMG_0085 (a) Cressingham Gardens In some respects, World’s End marked the end of an era of large, high-rise construction. As Chief Architect for the new (post-65) Borough of Lambeth, Ted Hollamby had concluded that ‘people do not desperately desire to be housed in large estates, no matter how imaginative the design and convenient the dwellings’. Hollamby believed that ‘most people like fairly small-scale and visually comprehensible environments. They call them villages, even when they are manifestly not’. His vision can be seen enacted in the Cressingham Gardens Estate. Cressingham Gardens was described in 1981 by Lord Esher, president of RIBA, as ‘warm and informal…one of the nicest small schemes in England’. It’s a beautiful estate nestling on the edge of Brockwell Park which manages superbly, in Hollamby’s words again, to ‘create a sense of smallness inside the bigness…and to get the kind of atmosphere in which people did not feel all herded together’. It’s a well-loved estate with a strong sense of community. Unfortunately, as part of Lambeth’s commendable pledge to build new homes at council rent in the borough, it has become another victim of ‘regeneration’; in actual fact, the threat of demolition. The principal driver of this policy in London is money or the lack of it – the pressure to sell council real estate and build private housing for sale in order to raise capital for social housing at best or so-called ‘affordable’ housing at worst. A second is ‘densification’ – a belief that working-class homes must be built at greater density to accommodate the capital’s growing population. Not all regeneration is bad but where it means the destruction of good homes and the wiping out of existing communities it should be opposed. Central Hill snip Central Hill A second signature Hollamby estate, also featured in Open House this year, is Central Hill in Upper Norwood, completed in 1973. It’s a stepped development designed to make best use of its attractive site but it reflects Lambeth and Hollamby’s signature style in its intimacy and human scale. It too is threatened with demolition. The residents of both estates have active campaigns fighting to preserve their homes and communities. See Save Central Hill and Save Cressingham Gardens to find out more and lend your support. Image result for west ken and gibbs green West Kensington and Gibbs Green West Ken and Gibbs Green are two neighbouring estates of 760 homes in total in Hammersmith (built in 1974 and 1961 respectively) which have been fighting against demolition as part of a massive commercially-led redevelopment scheme since 2009. Residents are now campaigning to form a community-owned housing association which can protect their homes and community. As importantly, their ‘People’s Plan’ (created in collaboration with Architects for Social Housing) shows that necessary regeneration can be achieved not only without the loss of social housing but with its expansion – in this case, with 250 new homes built for sale on the open market to pay for the estate upgrades and seventy new social rented homes. Visit the residents’ website West Ken and Gibbs Green – the People’s Estates for further information. HP19-07 An early photograph of Thamesmead Thamesmead on the south bank of the Thames Estuary represented planning and construction in an earlier era of high ambition. A gleam in the eye of the LCC from the fifties and then, from 1966, the Greater London Council’s ‘Woolwich-Erith Project’, it was envisaged as a ‘town of the 21st Century’ with a population of between 60- to 100,000 people. Only 12,000 had settled by 1974 and the estate – with its difficult location, poor transport links and lack of facilities – was considered by many a failure. Taken over by Peabody in 2015, benefiting from new investment and the now delayed arrival of Crossrail in 2019, it’s on the up now and worth visiting for both its past and future promise. The tour, led by the Twentieth Century Society, will allow you to visit some of the highlights of the original architecture of the GLC 1968 masterplan, some of which sadly are now under threat. Image result for brunswick centre The Brunswick Centre From the late 1960s, a new era began in council housing design as discredited tower blocks were replaced by new forms of low-rise, high density housing. The Brunswick Centre, completed in 1972, was originally planned as a private development. Due to financial difficulties, the residential section was leased to the London Borough of Camden for use as council housing while the developer retained ownership of the structure and shopping areas. Sn Whittington Estate Stoneleigh Terrace (2) Stoneleigh Terrace, the Whittington Estate Though not a Camden scheme as such, the Centre fits well with what became the celebrated signature style of Camden Borough Council into the 1970s. This can be seen firstly in the Whittington Estate, begun in 1969, designed by Peter Tábori, a young architect then in his mid-twenties. It’s a scheme in typical Camden style, six parallel linear stepped-section blocks of light pre-cast concrete construction and dark-stained timber. It was designed to be a ‘form of housing…which related more closely to the existing urban fabric than the slab and tower blocks, and which brought more dwellings close to the ground’. Each home had its own front door and a walk through the front door of 8 Stoneleigh Terrace during Open House will allow you to glimpse the innovative interior design of the housing too, chiefly the work of Ken Adie of the Council’s Department of Technical Services. P1010155 Alexandra Road Another Camden scheme is widely judged to be one of the most attractive and architecturally accomplished council estates in the country, Alexandra Road, listed Grade II* in 1993. The Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate was the work of Neave Brown, awarded the Royal Gold Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects in October 2017. He sadly died three months later. The estate is better seen than described but, in its scale and confidence, it marks (in the words of modernist architect John Winter), ‘a magical moment for English housing’. Page High & gardens The Page High Estate Despite knowing the area pretty well, I have to confess the Page High Estate in Wood Green was new to me. It’s social housing, designed for a consortium consisting of Haringey Council, Sainsbury, Woolworth’s and World of Housing Property Trust (later Sanctuary Housing) by the Dry Halasz Dixon Partnership in 1975. To be fair, the estate is easy to miss – built six and seven storeys above the ground on top of a car park and store. The Tenants’ Association offering the tour was set up in 2017 to improve repairs and maintenance and campaign for the improvement of the estate. Please support them. Dujardin Mews Dujardin Mews with the Alma Estate to the read Finally, we come to post-1979 schemes and all of you reading this will understand the changed world that council housing – social housing as we must now call it – has inhabited since that date. Dujardin Mews in Ponders End is an Enfield Council scheme designed by Karakusevic Carson Architects. The first phase, completed in 2018 is lovely and multiple award-winning while the scheme as a whole is part of the larger Alma Estate regeneration. Despite researching assiduously, I’ve not discovered the tenure details of Dujardin Mews (I will amend or add to this if anyone can tell me) but the larger scheme offers the usual mix of ‘affordable’, shared ownership and properties for sale – an increase in homes and a net loss of social rent homes. Street view of new blocks The Kings Crescent Estate The Kings Crescent Estate was originally built by Hackney Council in 1969. The estate’s two nineteen-storey tower blocks were demolished in 2000 and 2002 alongside some of the lower blocks, around 357 homes in all. The current regeneration scheme creates 273 new homes overall but of these only 76 are social rented; a further 101 social rent homes will be refurbished. It is a further reminder of the twisted economics of current social housing finance. i-love-council-houses-south-london-1 I’m sorry not to be more positive. There is a small uptick in council housebuilding. Councils are being allowed to borrow and many new schemes are underway but, almost invariably, they are small-scale and financed – through both necessity and choice – through public-private partnerships which too frequently prioritise non-social rented homes. The contemporary picture of social housing’s marginalisation and market-driven ‘regeneration’ creates a poignant counterpoint to the energy and aspirations of previous generations. If you visit any of the estates on show during Open House London, my plea to you is to think of them not as monuments to a bygone era but as exemplars of what we can and should achieve in a brighter future. Notes (1) For further detail on the South Acton Estate, read the excellent chapter by Peter Guillery in Guillerry and Kroll (eds), Mobilising Housing Histories: Learning from London’s Past (RIBA Publishing, 2017) Advertisements Airbnb Experiences VP Joe Zadeh has stated the business has an “ambitious vision to revolutionise the tours and activities industry.” In June last year it was reported that Airbnb Experiences has been growing 10 times faster than its original Homes feature, with the former notching 1.5 million bookings a year. Airbnb’s Experiences programme was introduced in 2016 and designed to meet the needs of its traveling customers to get involved in an activity on their trips. In an interview with Skift, Zadeh said that booking companies have made “very little offline innovation,” and have instead focused on making the same ticket, tours or activities easier to find and book. “They haven’t focused on making the experiences better themselves,” Zadeh added. “There is a tremendous opportunity to double down on this business unit and make new, aggressive investments in our long-term growth. That’s exactly what we have done.” Since launching in 2016, the vertical has grown exponentially from having 500 listings available in just 12 cities, to boasting more than 30,000 Experiences in over 1,000 cities. Zadeh added: “Hypergrowth has encouraged us to be all the more rigorous when it comes to quality. Last year, we focused on global expansion and did this at an incredible rate, jumping from coverage in around 60 cities to over a thousand.” Live music events have taken prominence in the Experiences section, leading Airbnb to launch a separate Concerts page in February 2018. Image: TeroVesalainen	# The most important buildings in London – council houses The most important buildings in London – those with the greatest social significance for the mass of its people and those which have made the greatest visual impact on the capital – are council houses. In 1981, at peak, there were 769,996 council homes in the capital and they housed nearly 31 percent of its population. It’s partly this ubiquity and familiarity – and the fact that most council housing is happily ‘ordinary’ – that explains why few council estates make it into Open House London, the annual celebration of built heritage taking place this year on the weekend of 21–22 September. Open House itself has, to put it kindly, an ambivalent relationship to social housing. It features genuine celebrations of council housing’s past and present but too often controversial regeneration schemes are showcased with no reference to the disruption of established communities and the loss of social rent homes they entail. We begin with a brief reference to some of the early garden suburbs which, while overwhelmingly middle-class in character, did provide a model for later council schemes. ## Early garden suburbs ### Brentham Garden Suburb The bohemian Bedford Park Estate, begun in 1875, might be described as the first cottage suburb. Gidea Park, promoted by several Liberal MPs (including Sir Tudor Walters of the famous wartime report on post-war housing) from 1897, is notable for the architectural contribution of Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin. They were chief architects of the Brentham Garden Suburb in 1910 – important as a co-partnership scheme intended to cater for at least the more affluent of the working class. ### Hampstead Garden Suburb Founded in 1906 by Henrietta Barnett, Hampstead Garden Suburb was intended as a mixed community though it rapidly became a rather select middle-class enclave. Unwin and Parker were again key figures and the guided walk offered that focuses on the Suburb’s ‘Artisan Quarter’. ## Council housing proper ### Tower Gardens Estate Also known as the White Hart Lane Estate, Tower Gardens was designed and built by the London County Council (LCC) before the First World War: a cottage estate for working people inspired by the Garden City and Arts and Crafts movements. Just under 1,000 homes were built before the war halted construction; a further 1,266 houses and flats were added in a northwards extension between the wars. ### Roe Green Village Designed by Frank Baines in 1916 as housing for workers engaged in armaments production, Roe Green Village – and his earlier Well Hall Estate in Eltham – provided important inspiration for the ‘Homes for Heroes’ and council estates which emerged after the war. ### Becontree Estate In terms of size and ambition, no interwar estate was more important than Becontree in east London. The LCC built 89,049 homes in the capital between the wars; some 26,000 of these in Becontree at Dagenham, first mooted in 1919. By 1939 it housed 120,000 people, many moving from inner-city slums. ### Bellingham Estate Another large interwar LCC estate, Bellingham in south London comprised over 2,000 homes and a population of 12,000, largely complete by 1923. The Fellowship Inn, now a community venue by Phoenix Community Housing, exemplifies the ‘improved public house’ intended to ‘improve’ tenants. ### Eastbury Manor and estate Sixteenth-century Eastbury Manor House sits incongruously but delightfully in the middle of an interwar council estate, illustrating London’s layered history. ### Gascoyne Estate My guided walk starts at the 1948 Gascoyne Estate (another LCC scheme), taking in interwar tenement blocks and modernist high-rise. Vaine House and Granard House on Gascoyne II were inspired by Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation and provided a model for Alton West. ### Acton Gardens and South Acton Formerly known as South Acton Estate (‘Soapsud Island’), this post-war slum clearance and redevelopment scheme (1949–1980s) comprised almost 2,100 homes, including later high-rise blocks. Comprehensive regeneration from 1996 saw the 21-storey Barrie Tower demolished in 2001; the new estate contains 900 fewer affordable homes than its predecessor. ### Golden Lane Estate Inaugurated in 1950 for the City of London by Powell, Chamberlin and Bon, Golden Lane is celebrated for its innovative facilities intended to sustain ‘community’ and create ‘neighbourhood’ in an urban setting. Current plans to densify the estate are opposed by many residents. ### Balfron Tower Designed by Ernő Goldfinger for the Greater London Council in 1968, Balfron Tower is a Grade II-listed Brutalist block originally for working-class tenants. Now in the hands of developers and marketed to the affluent, it stands as a cautionary tale of social purpose betrayed. ### Trellick Tower Opened in 1972, Trellick Tower remains in council ownership despite Right to Buy and continues to serve its original purpose. ### World’s End Estate Completed in 1977 by the Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, World’s End comprises seven 18–21-storey towers joined by nine four-storey walkway blocks. Its warm-red brick and castellated appearance once afforded Thames views to working-class residents. ### Cressingham Gardens As Chief Architect for Lambeth, Ted Hollamby concluded that people prefer small-scale, visually comprehensible environments. Cressingham Gardens (1981) nestles on the edge of Brockwell Park, ‘creating a sense of smallness inside the bigness’ and remains under threat of demolition despite its strong community. ### Central Hill Another Hollamby estate, Central Hill in Upper Norwood (1973) is a stepped development making best use of its site. Like Cressingham, it is threatened with demolition; residents are campaigning to save their homes and community. ### West Kensington and Gibbs Green Two neighbouring Hammersmith estates (1961 & 1974; 760 homes total) have fought demolition since 2009. Residents’ ‘People’s Plan’ shows that regeneration can expand social housing by building market-sale homes to cross-subsidise new social rent units. ### Thamesmead Envisaged from the 1950s as a ‘town of the 21st Century’, Thamesmead saw only 12,000 settlers by 1974 and was long considered a failure. Now taken over by Peabody and benefiting from delayed Crossrail, it offers both past lessons and future promise. ### The Brunswick Centre Completed in 1972, The Brunswick Centre was originally private. Financial difficulties led to its residential section being leased to Camden for council housing, while retail remained privately owned. ### Stoneleigh Terrace, the Whittington Estate Designed by Peter Tábori and begun in 1969, this Camden scheme features six parallel linear stepped-section blocks of light precast concrete and dark-stained timber. Each home has its own front door; an interior tour at 8 Stoneleigh Terrace showcases Ken Adie’s innovative design. ### Alexandra Road Widely judged one of the most architecturally accomplished council estates in the country, Alexandra Road (Grade II* listed, 1993) was designed by Neave Brown. It marks, in modernist architect John Winter’s words, ‘a magical moment for English housing’. ### The Page High Estate Built in Wood Green in 1975 for a consortium including Haringey Council and retail trusts, Page High is a seven-storey scheme above a car park and store. The tenants’ association, set up in 2017, campaigns for repairs, maintenance and estate improvements. ### Dujardin Mews Completed in 2018 in Ponders End, this Enfield Council scheme by Karakusevic Carson Architects won multiple awards. Part of the Alma Estate regeneration, it offers a mix of tenures and illustrates contemporary challenges in social housing provision. ### The Kings Crescent Estate Originally built by Hackney Council in 1969, Kings Crescent’s two 19-storey towers were demolished in 2000–02. The current regeneration provides 273 new homes but only 76 social rent units, highlighting the economic constraints on social housing today. ## Conclusion There is a small uptick in council housebuilding, with councils now able to borrow and new schemes underway. Yet most are small-scale and reliant on public-private partnerships that too often prioritize non-social rent homes. The contemporary marginalization of social housing and market-driven regeneration stand in poignant counterpoint to the energy and aspirations of previous generations. When you visit these estates during Open House London, consider them not as monuments to a bygone era but as exemplars of what we can and should achieve in a brighter future. --- # Airbnb Experiences Growth and Vision Airbnb Experiences VP Joe Zadeh has stated the business has an “ambitious vision to revolutionise the tours and activities industry.” In June last year it was reported that Airbnb Experiences has been growing 10 times faster than its original Homes feature, with the former notching 1.5 million bookings a year.

Jon Armstrong is a magician who has been named as Close Up Magician of the Year. Inspired by the magic that amusement parks gave him as a child, Armstrong had a desire for magic and performing his own show in front of an audience. That wish was granted when he was 20 and became a resident magician at Walt Disney World for several years. His gig at Disney World then turned into him being a headliner at Caesar’s Magical Empire. Armstrong has been a magic consultant and designer for several films and movies and is co-creator of “Smoke and Mirrors”. You can even see Armstrong on Netflix starring in the special, “Magicians: Life in the Impossible”. Currently, you can find Armstrong at the Magic Castle in Los Angeles and also on series such as “Masters of Illusion”, “Bachelorette”, “Magic Castle After Dark”, and more..

When we think of kissing, we think of our first smooch or the person we love, but there are plenty of weird and fascinating facts about kissing that might surprise and interest you. Turns out, there's a lot of stuff going on while you kiss, and it has to do with more than just what your tongue and lips are doing! Although for most Americans kissing seems normal, it is actually a cultural behavior, and even though kissing has been around for some time, some cultures still don't engage in it, according to Psychology Today. For most, kissing is a sign of romance, but it is also used as a feeding practice, a grooming behavior, or a representation for intercourse in some cultures. You might be used to focusing on your form when it comes to kissing, but there are plenty of other aspects that might deserve your attention, including what kissing can do for your health. Here are eight weird and fascinating facts that you never knew about kissing – you might want to go grab up your partner after reading some of these. 1. Kissing Boosts Your Immune System Pexels You swap a lot of bacteria when you share a lip lock with someone — 80 million, to be exact — but don't be scared off by this concept. "The exchange of germs through kissing actually boosts the immune system," says Danielle Rosen, senior editor at CIA Medical. "The release of oxytocin through positive touch also encourages endorphins, leading to feelings of health and strength." 2. Women Absorb Testosterone When They Kiss Pexels When engaging in an open-mouth kiss, men pass along testosterone, and women absorb it. Because of this, men tend to prefer sloppier kisses with more open mouth, in a subconscious attempt to transfer the hormone, according to Rutgers University anthropologist Helen Fisher. 3. Smell Could Be Responsible For A Bad Kiss Pexels Ever liked someone, but found that your lip lock was such a turn-off? This may have had to do with your unconscious sense of smell. Through scent, we pick up subconscious clues about the other person’s DNA or reproductive status, and we tend to be attracted to those with a different genetic code than ourselves, according to Sheril Kirshenbaum, author of The Science of Kissing: What Our Lips Are Telling Us. A bad kiss might just be a sign you're not genetically diverse enough. The Science of Kissing: What Our Lips Are Telling Us, $20, Amazon 4. Kissing Lowers Stress Pexels Kissing can do more than just take your mind off your worries: It can also lower the stress hormone cortisol. Research from neuroscientist Wendy Hill found that college students who made out for 15 minutes in a lab showed lowered levels of cortisol following their makeout sesh. 5. Kissing Can Improve Your Skin's Appearance Pexels "Over 30 facial muscles are involved in making a kiss happen," says sex and relationship expert Megan Stubbs, EdD, ACS over email. "Using these muscles can help keep your cheeks tight and in perfect pucker shape. Think facelift." 6. Kissing Is Related To Relationship Satisfaction Pexels If you spend a lot of time kissing your partner, that's a good sign. Research from the Archives of Sexual Behavior found that higher kissing frequency is related to relationship satisfaction. Turns out, kissing can help facilitate bonding. 7. People Learn To Tilt Their Head Right In The Womb Pexels Research from Ruhr-University of Bochum in Germany found that twice as many adults turn their heads to the right as to the left when kissing. The reason for this? Most babies turn their head to the right while in the womb. 8. Kissing Makes Your Mouth Healthier Pixabay "Kissing increases the production of saliva, which contains substances that fight bacteria and viruses," says Dr. Vivika Joshi, general practitioner at DrFelix, over email. "An increase in exposure to these substances may help to keep the mouth, gums, and teeth healthy."

2,270,801,931,051,004,200	Tips Еrror 0x80070057 Windows Vista/7/8/10 Fix (Sept. 2018 Update) Error 0x80070057 is a commonly encountered Windows error – it could occur on systems such as Windows Vista, 7,8 and 10. The causes behind it could be numerous but in most cases it all has something to do with a failed update download or installation. Regardless of what the exact issue in each particular case is, here, on this page, we will do our best to help you troubleshoot this error and make it stop. In the guide below, we have prepared several methods that you can use in order to deal with this inconvenience. Brief description of the issue Normally, regardless of what Windows version you have on your PC, error 0x80070057 would appear in pretty much the same way – a small window would pop-up on your screen with the message Windows could not find backup devices on this computer. The following information might explain why this problem occurred: The parameter is incorrect. (0x80070057). Еrror 0x80070057 Windows Fix Method 1: SFC Scan 1. Open the Start Menu and then type in Command Prompt. Right-click on the first result and select the Run as Administrator option. (Note: on Windows 8/10 you can access the admin Command Prompt by right-clicking on the Start Menu icon and then selecting Command Prompt (Admin).) 2. In the command line that opens copy-paste the following line and then hit Enter to execute it: sfc/scannow 3. Wait for the following process to complete – do not obstruct it until it is finished! 4. After the end of the scan, the reported result should indicate if the issue has been fixed. If you get the ‘Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations’ message, then it means that the problem is caused by something else and this method won’t fix it. If the result says ‘Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them’, then the issue should be gone. If the report reads ‘Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and was unable to fix some of them’, then you might need to use some other method to resolve the problem. Method 2: Using the Registry Editor 1. Open a new Notepad file. 2. In it, copy-paste the following text: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX] “IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled”=dword:00000000[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings] “UxOption”=dword:00000000 3. Save (Save As) the file on your Desktop under the name of wufix.reg with a file type to changed to All files. Make sure that this is exactly the name of the saved file and that you remember to add this specific extension at the end! Also, do not forget to change the file type. 4. Now go to the file and run it. Agree to its prompts. Method 3: Remove CloudFogger In some cases, the cause behind error 0x80070057 might be a third-party app such as CloudFogger. Here is how to uninstall it: 1. Again, press Winkey+R from the keyboard and then type appwiz.cpl in the Run box. 2. From the list of programs, find the entry for CloudFogger, right-click on it and select uninstall. 3. Follow the prompts from the uninstallation wizard to complete the uninstallation of the app. Leave a Comment Slovakia places second at international CyberEx State organisations and members of the private sector collaborated for the cyber-security competition. Illustrative stock photoIllustrative stock photo(Source: AP/TASR) Slovakia placed second in an international cyber exercise called CyberEx 2017, which brought together 65 groups from around the world. CyberEx, organised by the Spanish National Cyber Security Institute and the Organisation of American States, set a record for the number of participants, who came from 24 countries in Europe, Asia, and North and South America. Slovakia was represented by a five-member team composed of experts from the National Security Bureau (NBU), the National Agency for Network and Electronic Services (NASES) and anti-virus software producer Eset, the spokesperson for NASES, Lucia Maková, told the TASR newswire on August 2. “The results of the exercise have demonstrated that key state organisations involved in cyber-security, like NBU and NASES, can collaborate well with the private sector, showing top skills in global terms,” NASES general director Norbert Molnár said. The exercise took place online within an eight-hour time limit. The teams had to complete 17 successive tasks, including analysing codes, binary files and cryptography. It was not possible to advance to the next task without first resolving the one at hand. The Slovak team was one of three groups that resolved all 17 tasks.

Košice protest on October 18	# Error 0x80070057 Windows Vista/7/8/10 Fix (Sept. 2018 Update) Error 0x80070057 is a commonly encountered Windows error – it could occur on systems such as Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10. The causes behind it could be numerous but in most cases it all has something to do with a failed update download or installation. Regardless of what the exact issue in each particular case is, we will do our best to help you troubleshoot this error and make it stop. In the guide below, we have prepared several methods that you can use in order to deal with this inconvenience. ## Brief description of the issue Normally, regardless of what Windows version you have on your PC, error 0x80070057 would appear in pretty much the same way – a small window would pop-up on your screen with the message: > Windows could not find backup devices on this computer. The following information might explain why this problem occurred: > The parameter is incorrect. (0x80070057) --- ## Method 1: SFC Scan 1. Open the Start Menu and then type in Command Prompt. Right-click on the first result and select Run as Administrator. _Note: on Windows 8/10 you can access the admin Command Prompt by right-clicking on the Start Menu icon and then selecting Command Prompt (Admin)._ 2. In the command line that opens, copy-paste the following line and then hit Enter to execute it: ```bat sfc /scannow ``` 3. Wait for the process to complete – do not obstruct it until it is finished! 4. After the scan ends, check the reported result: - If you get “Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations”, the problem is caused by something else and this method won’t fix it. - If you get “Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them”, the issue should be gone. - If you get “Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and was unable to fix some of them”, you might need to use some other method to resolve the problem. --- ## Method 2: Using the Registry Editor 1. Open a new Notepad file. 2. Copy-paste the following text into it: ```reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX] "IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings] "UxOption"=dword:00000000 ``` 3. Save the file on your Desktop under the name wufix.reg, and set Save as type to All Files. Make sure this is exactly the name of the saved file and that you remember to add the `.reg` extension. 4. Go to the file and run it. Agree to its prompts. --- ## Method 3: Remove CloudFogger In some cases, the cause behind error 0x80070057 might be a third-party app such as CloudFogger. Here is how to uninstall it: 1. Press Win Key+R and type: ```bat appwiz.cpl ``` 2. From the list of programs, find CloudFogger, right-click on it and select Uninstall. 3. Follow the prompts from the uninstallation wizard to complete the uninstallation of the app. --- # Slovakia places second at international CyberEx State organisations and members of the private sector collaborated for the cyber-security competition. Slovakia placed second in an international cyber exercise called CyberEx 2017, which brought together 65 groups from around the world. CyberEx, organised by the Spanish National Cyber Security Institute and the Organisation of American States, set a record for the number of participants, who came from 24 countries in Europe, Asia, and North and South America. Slovakia was represented by a five-member team composed of experts from the National Security Bureau (NBU), the National Agency for Network and Electronic Services (NASES) and anti-virus software producer Eset, the spokesperson for NASES, Lucia Maková, told the TASR newswire on August 2. “The results of the exercise have demonstrated that key state organisations involved in cyber-security, like NBU and NASES, can collaborate well with the private sector, showing top skills in global terms,” NASES general director Norbert Molnár said. The exercise took place online within an eight-hour time limit. The teams had to complete 17 successive tasks, including analysing codes, binary files and cryptography. It was not possible to advance to the next task without first resolving the one at hand. The Slovak team was one of three groups that resolved all 17 tasks.	1,277	1,016	2,270,801,931,051,004,200	concat	[ "concat_full" ]	0.75	true	null
-221,770,819,546,226,940	Dementia Friendly Performance: RNS Chamber Music Royal Northern Sinfonia THIS EVENT HAS PASSED Stamitz Oboe Quartet in E flat, Op.8 No.4 Elgar Andante and Allegro for Oboe and String Trio Mozart String Quartet in D, K499 ‘Hoffmeister’ (selected movements) An RNS chamber music performance in a supportive and relaxed environment, suited to those with dementia and their families/carers. A complimentary cup of tea or coffee and a biscuit is included in the ticket price. Free carer tickets available if required. Some of the ways that this performance is dementia friendly: • There will be additional signage around our building, with symbols and pictures • There will be additional staff on hand to help • The house lights will be up slightly • A quiet room will be available before, during and after the performance • The seating arrangements will be flexible and you can move seats during the performance • Audience members are able to move around the hall or come in and out This feeling and memory stayed with her throughout the day – and although she forgets many outings we do – the pleasure of this memory lived with her for many weeks.” Jane Morton from Tynedale Dementia Action Alliance who attended the last dementia friendly performance with her friend Ann who has dementia. https://sagegateshead.com/the-musical-power-is-obvious-we-just-need-more-of-it/ Listen to Jane speak with Lisa Shaw on BBC Radio Newcastle https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07lwxlr (1 hour 20 minutes in to the show) About the music Stamitz Oboe Quartet in E flat, Op.8 No.4 Carl Stamitz first pursued a career as a violinist before becoming a composer, but never secured a permanent appointment. His compositional style is similar to that of early Mozart and Haydn. The oboe part in this quartet was originally written for clarinet, with the more popular oboe part written to increase sales. The opening Allegro is divided into two section and the oboe and strings take turns to lead. The music is very subtle with few dynamic contrasts. The middle Andante is tender, but the final Rondo is livelier and makes use of folk melodies Elgar Andante and Allegro for Oboe and String Trio Written when Elgar was just 21, the Andante and Allegro was not published until much later having been discovered in an oddments folder in the British Museum. Elgar wrote this while he was Bandmaster at Worcester County and City Pauper Lunatic Asylum, where music played a part in the rehabilitation of patients and the band was made up of staff. Sadly, a lot of the music he wrote in this time was then ignored after he left his position. The Andante has a serene lullaby, layered over continuous semiquavers in the violin, whereas the Allegro is scherzo-like and very rhythmic. Mozart String Quartet in D, K499 ‘Hoffmeister’ (selected movements) Mozart wrote the ‘Hoffmeister’ quartet in 1786 and it was published by his friend Franz Anton Hoffmeister who described it as “written with that fire of the imagination and that correctness which long since won for Herr Mozart the reputation of one of the best composers in Germany. The jaunty opening of the Allegretto uses an arpeggio motif in D major that pervades the entire movement and is developed through different keys. When it returns in the home key there is a sense of sunlight appearing from behind dark clouds. The Menuetto contrasts charming and sombre music, before an overwhelming warmth in the Adagio. The final Allegro is light-hearted, with fun swirling parts continuing right up until the ending.

She watches him meeting with Jackie Brickford; when Arnott interviews Bains’ superior, Bains panics and is observed calling his contact from a payphone. Fleming asks Cottan to organise a second examination of Rod Kennedy’s body, which Cottan intentionally neglects to do. The photo of Waldron and Ronan Murphy is traced to his time in Sands View boys’ home. Arnott identifies Joseph Nash, another boy in the picture, and interviews him. Nash explains Linus Murphy was the caretaker at Sands View, that both men abused boys at the home, and that boys at the home were sexually abused by other men both at Sands View and at private parties. He identifies then-Councillor Dale Roach, but Roach is unable to stand trial, due to a stroke. Openload Comments Ți-a plăcut?

It seems that the masses and most of the financial media hate hedge funds and what they do, but why is this hatred of hedge funds so prominent? At the end of the day, these asset management firms do not gamble the hard-earned money of the people who are on the edge of poverty. Truth be told, most hedge fund managers and other smaller players within this industry are very smart and skilled investors. Of course, they may also make wrong bets in some instances, but no one knows what the future holds and how market participants will react to the bountiful news that floods in each day.

Capital Equipment Replacement Decisions OpenAIRE Batterham, Robert L.; Fraser, K.I. 1995-01-01 This paper reviews the literature on the optimal replacement of capital equipment, especially farm machinery. It also considers the influence of taxation and capital rationing on replacement decisions. It concludes that special taxation provisions such as accelerated depreciation and investment allowances are unlikely to greatly influence farmers' capital equipment replacement decisions in Australia. 2. Preserving EQ as per CSA N290.13: EQ of equipment for CANDU NPP International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Bordeleau, H. 2006-01-01 EQ is basically a Quality Assurance process that ensures that required safety related equipment will performed their safety functions during accident generating harsh environmental condition. As any good Quality Assurance Program, EQ activities have to be imbedded in the normal tasks of the people at the plant in such a way that it is not an extra concern but part of the things to be assessed and done on a regular basis so that the EQ Status of the equipment will not be compromised. The experience shows us that even with brand new plants there are discrepancies between equipment designed to be installed and that installed (wrong model or wrong instrument). Improper installation was also found. To eliminate these mistakes it is recommended to have a thorough initial inspection during construction or commissioning and later at regular intervals during operation. To avoid new mistakes during maintenance, crews have to be properly qualified and trained on completed procedure with appropriate work report that will required to be scrutinized for possible common cause failure and OPEX report. Procurement and handling of equipment and spare parts require a thorough revision of procurement and storage practices to guarantee proper storage, availability and identification of equipment for EQ replacement. A shelf life program for degradable material shall be implemented. Condition monitoring program could be use to extend life of equipment or as a qualification methods, caution should be use to look very precisely to the critical parameters that need to be monitored and to carefully tailor the monitoring program. EQ program should also consider barriers, they are not EQ equipment; it is usually made out of non-ageing material like metal or concrete. But there could be sealing material used in conjunction with the barriers and these may need special care. The impact of EQ parameters changes related to services conditions, new technical data or condition monitoring has to be 3. Supplement to nuclear EQ sourcebook: A compilation of documents for nuclear equipment qualification International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Anon. 1993-01-01 In the nuclear power industry, environmental and seismic qualification of safety-related electrical and instrumentation equipment is collectively known as Equipment Qualification (EQ). Related technology, as well as regulatory requirements, have evolved rapidly during the last 15 years. For environmental qualification, what began in 1971 with one trial-use guide (IEEE Std 323-1971), now stands as a full complement of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules, guides, and industry standards. As the original 1992 version of the Nuclear EQ Sourcebook was compiled to serve the user-community need for a complete and exhaustive single source of nuclear EQ documentation, this Supplement is published to provide the user community with nuclear EQ documentation revisions and updates that have been published since the publication of the original volume in May of 1992. The first volume of this publication included documents issued before December, 1991. That first volume was well received and also prompted positive response from industry on its usefulness and on recommendations to improve the completeness and enhance the ease of use. This Supplement, therefore, includes new documents, revisions, and updates issued and published since December 1991 and up to and including March 1993. It incorporates various enhancements in order to better serve the user community. One such enhancement included in this Supplement is the new Equipment Classification Index that is described in the User Guide section of this publication. 37 papers, including Bulletins, Federal rules, Generic Letters, Notices, Regulatory Guides, IEEE Standards, IEEE Recommended Practices, and IEEE Guides, have been processed separately for inclusion on the data base 4. Nuclear EQ sourcebook: A compilation of documents for nuclear equipment qualification International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Anon. 1992-01-01 In the nuclear power industry, environmental and seismic qualification of safety-related electrical and instrumentation equipment is collectively known as Equipment Qualification (EQ). Related technology, as well as regulatory requirements, have evolved rapidly during the last 15 years. For environmental qualification, what began in 1971 with one trial-use guide (IEEE Std 323-1971), now stands as a full complement of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rules, guides and industry standards. In addition to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has also undertaken development of its own set of standards for use in qualifying safety-related mechanical equipment. To ensure that the original design and qualification is preserved, engineers need to select and use the correct set of NRC regulations, regulatory guides, industry standards, and generic correspondence. Given that the total number of these documents exceed 200, this task becomes resource intensive. This compilation is the first known publication available to serve the user-community need for a complete and exhaustive single source. Approximately 180 items (Bulletins, Federal Rules, Generic Letters, Notices, Regulatory Guides, IEEE Standards, IEEE Recommended Practices, and IEEE Guides) have been processed separately for inclusion on the data base 5. Capitalization of Defense Technology Security Administration Equipment National Research Council Canada - National Science Library Gimble, Thomas 1996-01-01 ... $5.2 million in the Equipment in Use account on its trial balance. Starting with FY 1996, Defense Technology Security Administration financial data will be included in consolidated DoD financial statements... 6. Potential for energy-conserving capital equipment in UK industries Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) Fawkes, S D 1986-01-01 A summary is given of recent research into the potential for energy-conserving capital equipment in UK industries. The research had significant findings regarding the feasibility of achieving low-energy scenarios. It also stressed the importance of site specific factors in inhibiting incremental technical change such as that common in energy-conservation investments, developed a soft systems model of energy-management activities and investigated current progress and management styles in the brewing, malting, distilling and dairy sectors. 7. The manager and equipment decisions: is that in the capital budget? Science.gov (United States) McConnell, C R 2001-06-01 Although any decision to purchase a piece of capital equipment involves a number of the organization's functions, the department manager has some significant responsibilities in the selection and acquisition of capital equipment. Except for unavoidable replacement of essential equipment that fails unexpectedly, capital purchases must ordinarily be planned in advance through the annual budgeting process. The department manager is ordinarily the organization's primary source of information in major capital expenditure projects; therefore, it is essential that the manager follow a logical process for identifying and evaluating alternative equipment choices and perform a consistent economic analysis of the alternatives. 8. Components of a comprehensive capital equipment planning program. Science.gov (United States) Gresch, Alan 2010-01-01 As you may have already figured out, there is crossover and gaps between all of these capital equipment components. CE often will, and proactively should, make recommendations based on the CE, clinical, and financial components but rarely has direct knowledge of the strategic element. The clinical, finance, and administrative folks likely have visibility to most of these, but may lack full awareness of at least one component. The key is to engage key stakeholders from all these critical areas and develop a process to pull all this information together in one nice, neat package. Defining the person or persons responsible for taking the lead on this in your organization will depend greatly on the organization's type and size. For a single, standalone community hospital, it will likely be the facility administrator. For an integrated delivery network (IDN), a corporate entity, led by supply chain, finance, or both, may take the lead. Your organization may also employ consultative services or software to help facilitate this function. Regardless of who takes the lead, a weighting or scoring system that assigns certain values in all the outlined component categories, is clearly defined, and is easy to understand for all the contributors will need to be developed. If you are unaware or unclear of what the process is, find out and figure out how you can be a vital contributor to the process. This is one more way you can demonstrate the value you and your department bring to your organization. 9. The manager and equipment decisions: the capital budget. Science.gov (United States) McConnell, Charles R 2011-01-01 As part of his or her role in preparing a departmental budget, a manager must often become involved in budgeting for capital expenditures, those purchases that are of a type and sufficient dollar value to be capitalized and depreciated. Depending on the value of a proposed purchase, the department manager may have only a partial voice in the process; some significant purchases will require administrative approval, whereas some major acquisitions will require approval by the board of directors. Planning for possible capital purchases should begin well before the start of the annual budget exercise. Listing a capital item in the department's budget request does not imply approval; often, there are many more "needs" than there are capital funds available. Therefore, there must be a consistent process for identifying the proposed purchases that will be funded, such process necessarily including detailed specification of the need for a particular capital purchase, identification of all reasonable alternatives, consideration of any constraints, detailed financial comparison of alternatives, assessment of intangible factors, and a recommended choice. 10. Supplier Alliances for Engineered Equipment in Capital Projects National Research Council Canada - National Science Library Harper, Douglas 2003-01-01 .... Managing the engineered equipment is important during all phases of the project not only because of their high dollar value but also because the long manufacturing lead times often drive the overall project schedules... 11. Investigating factors that influence level and dynamics of capital productivity in plants manufacturing equipment for mines Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) Karenov, R.S. (Karagandinskii Politekhnicheskii Institut (USSR)) 1990-10-01 Analyzes productivity of capital in plants manufacturing equipment for underground coal mining in the USSR. Effects of the following factors are evaluated: working time, investment, mechanization of manufacturing processes, power of motors used to drive the manufacturing equipment, duration of a manufacturing cycle, cooperation degree, equipment service life. Effects of insufficient specialization of manufacturing plants and the manufacturing of mining equipment by repair shops of individual mines which should rather specialize in equipment repair and maintenance are evaluated. Analysis shows that specialization of the manufacturing plants could increase productivity of capital by 1.5-2.0 times, reduce labor consumption by 3-5 times and consumption of materials by 1.5-1.7 times. 4 refs. 12. NPP capital equipment life control facilities and tools International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Nekrasov, A.V.; Proskuryakov, K.N. 2009-01-01 Algorithms and simulation package for calculation of eigen modes of coolant pressure oscillations in equipment of primary coolant circuit of WWER-1000 NPP, tuned-circuit Q-factor of an oscillating contour of the coolant, fluctuation frequencies pass band and attenuation factors of were developed.

ChargeOut! : determining machine and capital equipment charge-out rates using discounted cash-flow analysis Science.gov (United States) E.M. (Ted) Bilek 2007-01-01 The model ChargeOut! was developed to determine charge-out rates or rates of return for machines and capital equipment. This paper introduces a costing methodology and applies it to a piece of capital equipment. Although designed for the forest industry, the methodology is readily transferable to other sectors. Based on discounted cash-flow analysis, ChargeOut!... 16. Influence of Components of Net Working Capital on Costs of Companies Manufacturing Machinery and Equipment in the Czech Republic Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Zdeněk Motlíček 2015-01-01 Full Text Available The approach to working capital management significantly affects the performance of companies. Nevertheless, this effect varies depending on the observed industry and company’s size and it may be assumed that it is also dependent on territory differences. The paper presents an empirical research aiming to identify particular links between net working capital and costs of the company. The outcomes indicate a relatively strong positive correlation between the variables, especially in case of inventory. Furthermore he ratio of financial costs to ordinary costs is low, as well as the impact of net working capital components on financial costs. It follows that a focus on collection period would not lead to significant savings. The findings appropriately complement Czech and foreign literature focused more on impact of net working capital or working capital on profitability indicators. Further studies concerning a more detailed analysis of the influence of net working capital on corporate costs are difficult to be found. The present research has been conducted on medium-sized companies located in the Czech Republic and manufacturing machinery and equipment. The obtained results suggest the most suitable area of focus for optimization of working capital in relation to costs for the types of companies defined above. 17. Development and capital investment tasks involved in the production of charge transfer equipment International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Simon, Sandor 1983-01-01 Stringent requirements had to be considered in the course of the production development of charge transfer equipment. The production of structures demanding extremely high endurance was based on extensive co-operation. Special alloys were needed for parts and bearings, special heat-treatment was required at certain sections for large dimensions etc. Appropriate mashine stock, assembly and test hall have been built for assembling and testing the equipment with both 440 and 100 MW.(Sz.J.) 18. Sensitivity analysis of EQ3 International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Horwedel, J.E.; Wright, R.Q.; Maerker, R.E. 1990-01-01 A sensitivity analysis of EQ3, a computer code which has been proposed to be used as one link in the overall performance assessment of a national high-level waste repository, has been performed. EQ3 is a geochemical modeling code used to calculate the speciation of a water and its saturation state with respect to mineral phases. The model chosen for the sensitivity analysis is one which is used as a test problem in the documentation of the EQ3 code. Sensitivities are calculated using both the CHAIN and ADGEN options of the GRESS code compiled under G-float FORTRAN on the VAX/VMS and verified by perturbation runs. The analyses were performed with a preliminary Version 1.0 of GRESS which contains several new algorithms that significantly improve the application of ADGEN. Use of ADGEN automates the implementation of the well-known adjoint technique for the efficient calculation of sensitivities of a given response to all the input data. Application of ADGEN to EQ3 results in the calculation of sensitivities of a particular response to 31,000 input parameters in a run time of only 27 times that of the original model. Moreover, calculation of the sensitivities for each additional response increases this factor by only 2.5 percent. This compares very favorably with a running-time factor of 31,000 if direct perturbation runs were used instead. 6 refs., 8 tabs 19. HAPO Plant and capital equipment budget for FY 1966 and revision of budget for FY 1965 equipment not related to construction projects Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) McDonald, J.E. 1964-05-12 This document is divided into: byproduct horizontal control rod system (5 reactors); high-speed scanning-effluent temperature monitoring system (KE reactor); improved reactor gas system (100-KE & KW); safety circuit system modifications (5 reactors); alternate process hot die sizing, 313 Building 300 Area; button line equipment (234-5 Building); in-tank waste solidification (3rd unit); and misc. minor equipment projects. 20. EQ-5D Portuguese population norms. Science.gov (United States) Ferreira, Lara Noronha; Ferreira, Pedro L; Pereira, Luis N; Oppe, Mark 2014-03-01 The EQ-5D is a widely used preference-based measure. Normative data can be used as references to analyze the effects of healthcare, determine the burden of disease and enable regional or country comparisons. Population norms for the EQ-5D exist for other countries but have not been previously published for Portugal. The purpose of this study was to derive EQ-5D Portuguese population norms. The EQ-5D was applied by phone interview to a random sample of the Portuguese general population (n = 1,500) stratified by age, gender and region. The Portuguese value set was used to derive the EQ-5D index. Mean values were computed by gender and age groups, marital status, educational attainment, region and other variables to obtain the EQ-5D Portuguese norms. Health status declines with advancing age, and women reported worse health status than men. These results are similar to other EQ-5D population health studies. This study provides Portuguese population health-related quality of life data measured by the EQ-5D that can be used as population norms. These norms can be used to inform Portuguese policy makers, health care professionals and researchers in issues related to health care policy and planning and quantification of treatment effects on health status. 1.

EQ3/6: status and applications Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) Wolery, T.J.; Isherwood, D.J.; Jackson, K.J.; Delany, J.M.; Puigdomenech, I. 1984-12-01 EQ3/6 is a set of related computer codes and data files for use in geochemical modeling of aqueous systems. The EQ3/6 package centers around two large computer codes, EQ3NR and EQ6, which are supported by a common thermodynamic data base. EQ3NR is a speciation-solubility code, whose function is to compute a model of the state of an aqueous solution. This code is very flexible in terms of the input that it will accept. EQ6 is a reaction-path code, which calculates models of changes in aqueous systems as they proceed toward a state of overall chemical equilibrium. EQ3/6 prior to FY83 had no capability for modeling brines, because the approximations for calculating the thermodynamic activity of water and the activity coefficients of the solute species were restricted to low ionic strengths ({le} 1.0 molal). An option has been added to use Pitzer`s equations for such calculations. At present, EQ3/6 contains two alternate Pitzer coefficient data bases. Several improvements have been made to the EQ6 code. Prior to FY83, the code could run models of mineral dissolution kinetics, but could not calculate models of precipitation kinetics. This problem has been overcome by additional code development. The speed of non-kinetic EQ6 calculations has recently been enhanced by the creation of two new calculational modes, economy mode and super economy mode. A calculational mode to simulate systems open to large gas reservoirs has also been developed. 34 references. 3. Uniform topology on EQ-algebras Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Yang Jiang 2017-04-01 Full Text Available In this paper, we use filters of an EQ-algebra E to induce a uniform structure (E, , and then the part induce a uniform topology in E. We prove that the pair (E, is a topological EQ-algebra, and some properties of (E, are investigated. In particular, we show that (E, is a first-countable, zero-dimensional, disconnected and completely regular space. Finally, by using convergence of nets, the convergence of topological EQ-algebras is obtained. 4. Correspondence between EQ-5D health state classifications and EQ VAS scores Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Whynes David K 2008-11-01 Full Text Available Abstract Background The EQ-5D health-related quality of life instrument comprises a health state classification followed by a health evaluation using a visual analogue scale (VAS. The EQ-5D has been employed frequently in economic evaluations, yet the relationship between the two parts of the instrument remains ill-understood. In this paper, we examine the correspondence between VAS scores and health state classifications for a large sample, and identify variables which contribute to determining the VAS scores independently of the health states as classified. Methods A UK trial of management of low-grade abnormalities detected on screening for cervical pre-cancer (TOMBOLA provided EQ-5D data for over 3,000 women. Information on distress and multi-dimensional health locus of control had been collected using other instruments. A linear regression model was fitted, with VAS score as the dependent variable. Independent variables comprised EQ-5D health state classifications, distress, locus of control, and socio-demographic characteristics. Equivalent EQ-5D and distress data, collected at twelve months, were available for over 2,000 of the women, enabling us to predict changes in VAS score over time from changes in EQ-5D classification and distress. Results In addition to EQ-5D health state classification, VAS score was influenced by the subject's perceived locus of control, and by her age, educational attainment, ethnic origin and smoking behaviour. Although the EQ-5D classification includes a distress dimension, the independent measure of distress was an additional determinant of VAS score. Changes in VAS score over time were explained by changes in both EQ-5D severities and distress. Women allocated to the experimental management arm of the trial reported an increase in VAS score, independently of any changes in health state and distress. Conclusion In this sample, EQ VAS scores were predictable from the EQ-5D health state classification, although 5. The process control and management on equipment qualification of nuclear power plant International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Liu Dong; Wang Hongyin; Zhang Yong 2013-01-01 The equipment qualification (EQ) to the safety class equipment is an important safety measure for the nuclear power plants (NPP), and also reflects the nuclear safety culture. Along with the continuous constructions of NPP in China, it has become an important issue for NPP engineering company and equipment suppliers how to effectively establish standard EQ process control and management, and provide sufficient technical arrangements to maintain this EQ management system. This paper summarizes three process of EQ including Design Input, EQ Establishment and EQ Maintenance, proposes the measures and key points for EQ process control and management in phase of NPP construction, and introduces the documents management during the whole process of EQ.

Performance of the EQ-5D and the EQ-5D+C in elderly patients with cognitive impairments Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Verhey Frans RJ 2007-06-01 Full Text Available Abstract Background The EQ-5D is a reliable tool for measuring Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL. However, concern has been expressed that it may ignore elements of HRQoL, particularly cognition. In response to this concern, the EQ-5D has been extended with a cognitive dimension (EQ-5D+C. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of the EQ-5D and the EQ-5D+C in elderly patients with cognitive impairments by assessing their construct validity and responsiveness. Methods Data from the MEDICIE study (n = 196 were used, in which all questionnaires were rated by proxies. Results Regarding construct validity, we found similar correlations between the EQ-5D and the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE and between the EQ-5D+C and the MMSE. Furthermore, both the EQ-5D and the EQ-5D+C were responsive to changes in the MMSE, with the EQ-5D performing slightly better. Conclusion We conclude that the EQ-5D performs well for evaluating HRQoL in a population with cognitive impairments. Based on the results of this explorative study, it does not seem necessary to adjust the current classification system by adding a cognitive dimension. However, in order to compare both instruments regarding utility values, it is necessary to develop a new scoring algorithm for the EQ-5D+C by conducting a general population study. Considering the explorative nature of this study, it is recommended that more aspects of the validity of both the EQ-5D and the EQ-5D+C are explored in patients with cognitive impairments using a more tailored study design. 7.

Quality of life profile of general Vietnamese population using EQ-5D-5L. Science.gov (United States) Nguyen, Long Hoang; Tran, Bach Xuan; Hoang Le, Quynh Ngoc; Tran, Tung Thanh; Latkin, Carl A 2017-10-11 Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is a vital benchmark to assess the effects of health interventions and policies. Measuring HRQOL of the general population is essential to establish a reference for health outcomes evaluations. However, evidence on HRQOL of general populations in low and middle income countries is very limited. This study aimed to measure HRQOL of the Vietnamese population by using the EuroQol-5 dimensions-5 levels (EQ-5D-5L) instrument and determine its associated factors. A cross-sectional study was performed in Hanoi with 1571 residences in Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. EQ-5D-5L and EQ- visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) were used to assess HRQOL. Potential covariates included socio-demographic characteristics, having acute symptoms in the last four weeks, chronic diseases in the last three months, having multiple health issues, and health service utilisation in the last twelve months. A generalized linear model was employed to identify the association between HRQOL and covariates. Overall, the mean EQ-5D utility index was 0.91 (SD = 0.15), and the mean EQ-VAS score was 87.4 (SD = 14.3). The highest proportion of respondents reporting any problems was in Usual activities (24.3%), followed by Anxiety/Depression (15.2%) and Pain/Discomfort (10.0%), while the lowest percentage was in Self-care (2.5%). Lower HRQOL composite scores were related to unemployment, lower income, higher education, living in urban areas, having chronic diseases, having multiple health issues and using health service. For any health problem self-reported by respondents, the health utility reduced by 0.02 (respiratory diseases) to 0.15 (musculoskeletal diseases). Health utility of the general population and reductions for self-reported health problems in this study are useful for future population health evaluations and comparisons. It also informs the development of interventions to reduce health problems of the general population. 12.

Comparing the UK EQ-5D-3L and English EQ-5D-5L Value Sets. Science.gov (United States) Mulhern, Brendan; Feng, Yan; Shah, Koonal; Janssen, Mathieu F; Herdman, Michael; van Hout, Ben; Devlin, Nancy 2018-06-01 Three EQ-5D value sets (EQ-5D-3L, crosswalk, and EQ-5D-5L) are now available for cost-utility analysis in the UK and/or England. The value sets' characteristics differ, and it is important to assess the implications of these differences. The aim of this paper is to compare the three value sets. We carried out analysis comparing the predicted values from each value set, and investigated how differences in health on the descriptive system is reflected in the utility score by assessing the value of adjacent states. We also assessed differences in values using data from patients who completed both EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L. The distribution of the value sets systematically differed. EQ-5D-5L values were higher than EQ-5D-3L/crosswalk values. The overall range and difference between adjacent states was smaller. In the patient data, the EQ-5D-5L produced higher values across all conditions and there was some evidence that the value sets rank different health conditions in a similar severity order. There are important differences between the value sets. Due to the smaller range of EQ-5D-5L values, the possible change in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) might be reduced, but they will apply to both control and intervention groups, and will depend on whether the gain is in quality of life, survival, or both. The increased sensitivity of EQ-5D-5L may also favour QALY gains even if the changes in utility are smaller. Further work should assess the impact of the different value sets on cost effectiveness by repeating the analysis on clinical trial data. 14. Design Modification of Kori Unit 1 for the Equipment Qualification International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Park, J. W.; Kim, M. Y.; Han, K. T.; Park, J. D. 2007-01-01 There has not been a strict regulatory requirements for the Equipment Qualification(EQ) in 1970's when Kori Unit 1 had begun the construction and the commercial operation. The Korean regulatory body requested the EQ on the various safety-related components, as a result of Periodic Safety Review. However, the EQ itself is impossible in some areas, due to the high pressure/temperature and flooding environment conditions from the pipe breaks. Design modification is being considered in the Auxiliary Building, the Intermediate Building, the Component Cooling Water Heat Exchanger Building and the Turbine Building, in order to mitigate the environmental conditions for the EQ 15. Towards a systematic format for (seismic) equipment qualification standards International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Smith, P.D. 1982-01-01 As part of technical assistance to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, 1), a systematic format for seismic equipment qualification (EQ) was initiated. This format consists of thirty issues associated with seismic EQ. Each issue was considered as a Category of Possible Seismic EQ Requirements and Criteria. That is, seismic EQ standards might be (but presently are not formulated in terms of requirements and criteria that address each of the thirty issues. Each of the thirty issues was ranked and a minimum set identified. The current requirements in existing NRC and national standards were also evaluated against this common set of issues, and they were estimated to score 60 out of 100 overall. It is believed that the systematic format exhibited in this paper can be of assistance in obtaining a broader and more complete perspective on seismic EQ issues. This format (but especially the technique) may also be of interest in non-seismic EQ since many of the issues are common 16. Structural equation modeling with EQS basic concepts, applications, and programming CERN Document Server Byrne, Barbara M 2013-01-01 Readers who want a less mathematical alternative to the EQS manual will find exactly what they're looking for in this practical text. Written specifically for those with little to no knowledge of structural equation modeling (SEM) or EQS, the author's goal is to provide a non-mathematical introduction to the basic concepts of SEM by applying these principles to EQS, Version 6.1. The book clearly demonstrates a wide variety of SEM/EQS applications that include confirmatory factor analytic and full latent variable models. Written in a "user-friendly" style, the author "walks" the reader through the varied steps involved in the process of testing SEM models: model specification and estimation, assessment of model fit, EQS output, and interpretation of findings. Each of the book's applications is accompanied by: a statement of the hypothesis being tested, a schematic representation of the model, explanations of the EQS input and output files, tips on how to use the pull-down menus, and the data file upon which ... 17. Measurement properties of the EQ-5D-5L compared to the EQ-5D-3L in psoriasis patients. Science.gov (United States) Poór, Adrienn Katalin; Rencz, Fanni; Brodszky, Valentin; Gulácsi, László; Beretzky, Zsuzsanna; Hidvégi, Bernadett; Holló, Péter; Kárpáti, Sarolta; Péntek, Márta 2017-12-01 The purpose of this study is to assess the measurement properties of EQ-5D-5L compared to EQ-5D-3L in psoriasis patients. A cross-sectional survey was carried out at an academic dermatology clinic in Hungary. Psoriasis patients completed the EQ-5D-3L, EQ-5D-5L and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaires, and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) was assessed. The UK value sets were used to calculate the 3L and 5L index scores. We tested the feasibility, ceiling effect, redistribution properties, the level of inconsistency and informativity (Shannon and Shannon Evenness indices). Spearman's rank-order correlations were performed between EQ-5D, EQ VAS, DLQI and PASI scores. Known-groups validity was evaluated by comparing age groups, clinical subtypes and treatment groups. Mean age of the 238 patients was 47 years, and 36.6% of them received biological therapy. Mean EQ-5D index score was 0.77 (SD: 0.26) with the 3L and 0.84 (SD: 0.19) with the 5L. The overall ceiling effect decreased from 37.1 (3L) to 32.9% (5L). Shannon index improved significantly for most dimensions, but Shannon Evenness index improved only in three dimensions. Compared to the 3L, the 5L version confirmed a better convergent validity with PASI, but not with the DLQI. Known-groups validity was equally demonstrated both for the 5L and 3L. The EQ-5D-5L seems to improve measurement properties by reducing ceiling effects, strengthening correlations with PASI and improving informativity. Follow-up studies are needed to test responsiveness and reliability in psoriasis. 18. Mapping onto Eq-5 D for patients in poor health Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Brazier John E 2010-11-01 Full Text Available Abstract Background An increasing amount of studies report mapping algorithms which predict EQ-5 D utility values using disease specific non-preference-based measures. Yet many mapping algorithms have been found to systematically overpredict EQ-5 D utility values for patients in poor health. Currently there are no guidelines on how to deal with this problem. This paper is concerned with the question of why overestimation of EQ-5 D utility values occurs for patients in poor health, and explores possible solutions. Method Three existing datasets are used to estimate mapping algorithms and assess existing mapping algorithms from the literature mapping the cancer-specific EORTC-QLQ C-30 and the arthritis-specific Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ onto the EQ-5 D. Separate mapping algorithms are estimated for poor health states. Poor health states are defined using a cut-off point for QLQ-C30 and HAQ, which is determined using association with EQ-5 D values. Results All mapping algorithms suffer from overprediction of utility values for patients in poor health. The large decrement of reporting 'extreme problems' in the EQ-5 D tariff, few observations with the most severe level in any EQ-5 D dimension and many observations at the least severe level in any EQ-5 D dimension led to a bimodal distribution of EQ-5 D index values, which is related to the overprediction of utility values for patients in poor health. Separate algorithms are here proposed to predict utility values for patients in poor health, where these are selected using cut-off points for HAQ-DI (> 2.0 and QLQ C-30 ( Conclusion Mapping algorithms overpredict utility values for patients in poor health but are used in cost-effectiveness analyses nonetheless. Guidelines can be developed on when the use of a mapping algorithms is inappropriate, for instance through the identification of cut-off points. Cut-off points on a disease specific questionnaire can be identified through association 19. Measuring Capital OpenAIRE W.

Science.gov (United States) Ludwig, Kristina; Graf von der Schulenburg, J-Matthias; Greiner, Wolfgang 2018-06-01 The objective of this study was to develop a value set for EQ-5D-5L based on the societal preferences of the German population. As the first country to do so, the study design used the improved EQ-5D-5L valuation protocol 2.0 developed by the EuroQol Group, including a feedback module as internal validation and a quality control process that was missing in the first wave of EQ-5D-5L valuation studies. A representative sample of the general German population (n = 1158) was interviewed using a composite time trade-off and a discrete choice experiment under close quality control. Econometric modeling was used to estimate values for all 3125 possible health states described by EQ-5D-5L. The value set was based on a hybrid model including all available information from the composite time trade-off and discrete choice experiment valuations without any exclusions due to data issues. The final German value set was constructed from a combination of a conditional logit model for the discrete choice experiment data and a censored at -1 Tobit model for the composite time trade-off data, correcting for heteroskedasticity. The value set had logically consistent parameter estimates (p German version of EQ-5D-5L representing the preferences of the German population. The study successfully employed for the first time worldwide the improved protocol 2.0. The value set enables the use of the EQ-5D-5L instrument in economic evaluations and in clinical studies. 1. Equipment qualification research program: program plan International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Dong, R.G.; Smith, P.D. 1982-01-01 The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) under the sponsorship of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has developed this program plan for research in equipment qualification (EQA). In this report the research program which will be executed in accordance with this plan will be referred to as the Equipment Qualification Research Program (EQRP).

Cross-cultural measurement equivalence of the 5-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Singapore. Science.gov (United States) Wang, Ye; Tan, Ngiap-Chuan; Tay, Ee-Guan; Thumboo, Julian; Luo, Nan 2015-07-16 This study aimed to assess the measurement equivalence of the 5-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L) among the English, Chinese, and Malay versions. A convenience sample of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled from a public primary health care institution in Singapore. The survey questionnaire comprised the EQ-5D-5L and questions assessing participants' socio-demographic and clinical characteristics. Multiple linear regression models were used to assess the difference in EQ-5D-5L index (calculated using an interim algorithm) and EQ-visual analog scale (EQ-VAS) scores across survey language (Chinese vs. English, Malay vs. English, and Malay vs. Chinese). Measurement equivalence was examined by comparing the 90% confidence interval of difference in the EQ-5D-5L index and EQ-VAS scores with a pre-determined equivalence margin. Multiple logistic regression models were used to assess the response patterns of the 5 Likert-type items of the EQ-5D-5L across survey language. Equivalence was demonstrated between the Chinese and English versions and between the Malay and English versions of the EQ-5D-5L index scores. Equivalence was also demonstrated between the Chinese and English versions and between the Malay and Chinese versions of the EQ-VAS scores. Equivalence could not be determined between the Malay and Chinese versions of the EQ-5D-5L index score and between the Malay and English versions of the EQ-VAS score. No significant difference was found in responses to EQ-5D-5L items between any languages, except that patients who chose to complete the Chinese version were more likely to report "no problems" in mobility compared to those who completed the Malay version of the questionnaire. This study provided evidence for the measurement equivalence of the different language versions of EQ-5D-5L in Singapore. 6. Workshop on environmental qualification of electric equipment International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Lofaro, R.; Gunther, W.; Villaran, M.; Lee, B.S.; Taylor, J. 1994-05-01 Questions concerning the Environmental Qualification (EQ) of electrical equipment used in commercial nuclear power plants have recently become the subject of significant interest to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Initial questions centered on whether compliance with the EQ requirements for older plants were adequate to support plant operation beyond 40 years. After subsequent investigation, the NRC Staff concluded that questions related to the differences in EQ requirements between older and newer plants constitute a potential generic issue which should be evaluated for backfit, independent of license renewal activities. EQ testing of electric cables was performed by Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) under contract to the NRC in support of license renewal activities. Results showed that some of the environmentally qualified cables either failed or exhibited marginal insulation resistance after a simulated plant life of 20 years during accident simulation. This indicated that the EQ process for some electric cables may be non-conservative. These results raised questions regarding the EQ process including the bases for conclusions about the qualified life of components based upon artificial aging prior to testing 7.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND VENTURE CAPITAL Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Becsky-Nagy Patricia 2015-07-01 Full Text Available Venture capital significantly changes the capital structure of the portfolio company at the time of the investment. Venture capitalists contribute to the company’s success through their active involvement in the management and their added value appears in the increase of the value of the equity. At the same time with taking active role in the management, agency problem occurs, that complicates the cooperation and the success of exit. In this article we search the answer for the question whether the preferred equity, that are commonly used in the US for bridging the agency problem, are used and able to help Hungarian venture capitalists to manage agency problems. On the other hand we examined how the venture capital affect capital structure, how the venture capitalists value added appear in the capital structure. During the evaluation of the three case studies, we came to the conclusion, that the venture capital investments have positive effect on the liabilities of the enterprises, as the capital structure indexes show. However, the investors need the ownership, which help them to step up resolutely, when things change for the worse, and companies need the expertise, which the investors bring with their personal assistance. The investor’s new attitude also has positive effect on a mature company, which has an experienced leader, because he can show another aspect, as a person who come from outside. During the examination of the capital structure, we cannot disregard the events of the company’s environment, which have effects on the firm. The investor’s decisions also appear different ways. Because of this, every venture capital investment is different, just as the capital structure of the firms, in which they invest. 9.

Hospital Capital Investment During the Great Recession. Science.gov (United States) Choi, Sung 2017-01-01 Hospital capital investment is important for acquiring and maintaining technology and equipment needed to provide health care. Reduction in capital investment by a hospital has negative implications for patient outcomes. Most hospitals rely on debt and internal cash flow to fund capital investment. The great recession may have made it difficult for hospitals to borrow, thus reducing their capital investment. I investigated the impact of the great recession on capital investment made by California hospitals. Modeling how hospital capital investment may have been liquidity constrained during the recession is a novel contribution to the literature. I estimated the model with California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development data and system generalized method of moments. Findings suggest that not-for-profit and public hospitals were liquidity constrained during the recession. Comparing the changes in hospital capital investment between 2006 and 2009 showed that hospitals used cash flow to increase capital investment by $2.45 million, other things equal. 11.

How to choose the right capitalization option. Science.gov (United States) Vaughan, J; Wise, J 1996-12-01 Physician group practices and networks must have ready access to capital to finance their working capital needs, capital equipment acquisitions, and real estate purchases, as well as to fund the acquisition of additional practices. At least three options for capitalization are available to group practices and networks: debt financing, equity financing, or a combination of the two. The best option for physician group practices and networks depends on the costs of capital and the impact the strategy will have on decision making and governance. 13.

Quality assurance for radiodiagnostic equipment in Uruguay International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Cotelo, Elena D. 2001-01-01 Since Uruguay did not have an study on X-ray equipment, students of Radiation Protection course (RP) made this field work throughout the country. The objective is to obtain information on the number and kind of X-ray radiodiagnostic equipment. Some of the results are: there are 666 radiodiagnostic equipment. The ratio of population to equipment is 4.515 to 1 in the capital and the mean rate in the rest of the country is 4.383 to one, with a minimum of 1.707 and a maximum of 8.220. The Public Health Ministry (MSP) and the Instituciones de Asistencia Medica Colectiva (a kind of private heath assurance) (IAMC) have less equipment in the capital than in the rest of the country. The 37% of the capital population receives assistance through the IAMC , with a 42.5 % of the equipment. Uruguay except the capital has 18 districts and 17 computed tomography equipment, from which only 3 belong to the MSP. Five districts do not have any. In Montevideo, there are 11.500 females over forty years of age per X-ray mammography equipment, and this relation in the rest of the country is 13.900. There are 21 X-ray Interventional radiology equipment, 16 of them are in the capital. Is from relating the radiodiagnostic equipment, the population and the procedures, that quality assistance indicators emerge. This owns high importance on the way to create a RP National Programme.

Disturbed mouse circadian rhythm before the Kobe EQ in 1995 Science.gov (United States) Yokoi, Sayoko 2013-04-01 Legends of macro-anomalies before large earthquakes have been passed down for generations in Asia. Most of the statements on earthquake precursors are considered unreliable afterthoughts by traditional scientists. However, disturbed biological rhythms in mice were observed before the Kobe EQ in 1995 (Yokoi et al, 2003). The records of unusual mouse behavior before the earthquake were obtained to study biological clock at Institute for Protein Research, Osaka University. It is clarified that the disturbance was very rare phenomena statistically. Similar phenomenon was observed before the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, too (Li et al, 2009). In the presentation, I will discuss the phenomena as one example of preseismic unusual animal behaviors. 19. Trinidadian capitalism Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Kevin A.

The two books under review here complement the works mentioned above, and they complement each other as well: Reddock's deals with the way capitalism up to the mid-century was buttressed by colonial politics, and explores how this formation engendered certain kinds of political responses, while Miller approaches capitalism through the assumption that fundamental changes in the post-Oil Boom period (ca. 1973-80 brought about considerable autonomy between production and consumption that can and should now be read through an analysis of the cultural circulation of images and commodities in the society. These books are both noteworthy because they engage in explicit theorizing on what capitalism was and is, and what it did and 20. Instrumental Capital Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Gabriel Valerio 2007-07-01 Full Text Available During the history of human kind, since our first ancestors, tools have represented a mean to reach objectives which might otherwise seemed impossibles. In the called New Economy, where tangibles assets appear to be losing the role as the core element to produce value versus knowledge, tools have kept aside man in his dairy work. In this article, the author's objective is to describe, in a simple manner, the importance of managing the organization's group of tools or instruments (Instrumental Capital. The characteristic conditions of this New Economy, the way Knowledge Management deals with these new conditions and the sub-processes that provide support to the management of Instrumental Capital are described. 1.

Management methodology for pressure equipment Science.gov (United States) Bletchly, P. J. Pressure equipment constitutes a significant investment in capital and a major proportion of potential high-risk plant in many operations and this is particularly so in an alumina refinery. In many jurisdictions pressure equipment is also subject to statutory regulation that imposes obligations on Owners of the equipment with respect to workplace safety. Most modern technical standards and industry codes of practice employ a risk-based approach to support better decision making with respect to pressure equipment. For a management system to be effective it must demonstrate that risk is being managed within acceptable limits. 4. partial capitalness Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Elena Grigoryeva 2017-06-01 A world away, in the Cape Winelands, architects of Stellenbosch struggle for the identity of the city, the capital of the unique cultural landscape.

The major components of the package are EQ3NR (a speciation-solubility code), EQ6 (a reaction path code), EQLIB (a supporting library), and a supporting thermodynamic data base. EQ3NR calculates aqueous speciation and saturation indices from analytical data. It can also be used to calculate compositions of buffer solutions for use in laboratory experiments. EQ6 computes reaction path models of both equilibrium step processes and kinetic reaction processes. These models can be computed for closed systems and relatively simple open systems. EQ3/6 is useful in making purely theoretical calculations, in designing, interpreting, and extrapolating laboratory experiments, and in testing and developing submodels and supporting data used in these codes. The thermodynamic data base supports calculations over the range 0-300 degree C. 60 refs., 2 figs 8.

Equipment considerations International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Anon. 1992-01-01 Trace or ultratrace analyses require that the HPLC equipment used, including the detector, be optimal for such determinations. HPLC detectors are discussed at length in Chapter 4; discussion here is limited to the rest of the equipment. In general, commercial equipment is adequate for trace analysis; however, as the authors approach ultratrace analysis, it becomes very important to examine the equipment thoroughly and optimize it, where possible. For this reason they will review the equipment commonly used in HPLC and discuss the optimization steps. Detectability in HPLC is influenced by two factors (1): (a) baseline noise or other interferences that lead to errors in assigning the baseline absorbance; (b) peak width. 87 refs 10.

Science.gov (United States) Wang, Hong-Mei; Patrick, Donald L; Edwards, Todd C; Skalicky, Anne M; Zeng, Hai-Yan; Gu, Wen-Wen 2012-02-01 To evaluate the reliability and validity of the EQ-5D in a general population sample in urban China. Thousand and eight hundred respondents in 18 communities of Hangzhou, China were recruited by multi-stage stratified random sampling. Respondents self-administered a questionnaire including the EQ-5D, the SF-36, and demographic questions. Test-retest reliability at 2-week intervals was evaluated using Kappa coefficient, the intraclass correlation coefficient. The standard error of measurement (SEM) was used to indicate the absolute measurement error. Construct validity was established using convergent, discriminant, and known groups analyses. Complete data for all EQ-5D dimensions were available for 1,747 respondents (97%). Kappa values were from 0.35 to 1.0. The ICCs of test-retest reliability were 0.53 for the EQ-5D index score and 0.87 for the EQ VAS score. The SEM values were 0.13 (9.22% range) and 4.20 (4.20% range) for the EQ-5D index and EQ VAS scores, respectively. The Pearson's correlation coefficients between the EQ-5D and the SF-36 were stronger between comparable dimensions than those between less comparable dimensions, demonstrating convergent and discriminant evidence of construct validity. The Chinese EQ-5D distinguished well between known groups: respondents who reported poor general health and chronic diseases had worse HRQoL than those without. Older people, females, people widowed or divorced, and those with a lower socioeconomic status reported poorer HRQoL. Respondents reporting no problems on any EQ-5D dimension had better scores on the SF-36 summary scores than those reporting problems. The Chinese version of the EQ-5D demonstrated acceptable construct validity and fair to moderate levels of test-retest reliability in an urban general population in China. 13.

Science.gov (United States) Capuano, Mike 2010-01-01 It is suggested that clinical engineers take the lead in formulating evaluation processes to recommend equipment replacement. Their skill, knowledge, and experience, combined with access to equipment databases, make them a logical choice. Based on ideas from Fennigkoh's scheme, elements such as age, vendor support, accumulated maintenance cost, and function/risk were used.6 Other more subjective criteria such as cost benefits and efficacy of newer technology were not used. The element of downtime was also omitted due to the data element not being available. The resulting Periop Master Equipment List and its rationale was presented to the Perioperative Services Program Council. They deemed the criteria to be robust and provided overwhelming acceptance of the list. It was quickly put to use to estimate required capital funding, justify items already thought to need replacement, and identify high-priority ranked items for replacement. Incorporating prioritization criteria into an existing equipment database would be ideal. Some commercially available systems do have the basic elements of this. Maintaining replacement data can be labor-intensive regardless of the method used. There is usually little time to perform the tasks necessary for prioritizing equipment. However, where appropriate, a clinical engineering department might be able to conduct such an exercise as shown in the following case study. 16. Letter report: status on code maintenance (EQ3/6) International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Wolery, T.J. 1995-01-01 EQ3/6 is a software package for geochemical modeling of aqueous systems, such as water/rock or waste/water rock. It is being developed for a variety of applications in geochemical studies for the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project. Version 7.2a was the first version of this software to be certified for use in quality- affecting work (originally issued for use in non-quality-affecting work only on 12/28/93; certified on S/17/94). In the past year, the Version 7 line software has been maintained while the new Version 8 line has been developed. In this period, sixteen defect reports have been logged and resolved. Corrected software is being released as Version 7.2b. Defect reporting and resolution for the Version 7 line will continue until all released versions in this line are retired, perhaps six months to a year after Version 8.0 is released later this year. The Version 7 software is written in Fortran 77, technically speaking, but incorporates many aspects of older Fortran. The Version 8 software is written in a much more modern Fortran, technically somewhere between Fortran 77 and Fortran 90. Future code maintenance activities will include a more complete move to Fortran 90, as well as continued maintaining of defect reporting and resolution 17. Association between social capital and health-related quality of life among left behind and not left behind older people in rural China. Science.gov (United States) Zhong, Yaqin; Schön, Pär; Burström, Bo; Burström, Kristina 2017-12-16 The association between social capital and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has not been thoroughly studied among older persons in rural China, especially among those who were left behind or not. This study investigates the association between social capital and HRQoL and examines possible differences of this association between being left behind or not in rural China. A cross-sectional survey of 825 people aged 60 years and older, residing in three rural counties in Jiangsu Province in China, was conducted in 2013. Factor analysis was performed to measure social capital. EQ-5D was used to measure HRQoL. Tobit regression analysis with upper censoring was conducted to explore the association between social capital and EQ-5D index. After controlling for individual characteristics, low social capital and being left behind were significantly associated with low HRQoL. Old people with low social capital had 0.055 lower EQ-5D index compared to those with high social capital. Old people being left behind had 0.040 lower EQ-5D index compared to those who were not left behind. For different dimensions of social capital, the main effects came from the domain of trust and reciprocity. There was a significant interaction between low social capital and being left behind on HRQoL, suggesting that low social capital was associated with low HRQoL among persons left behind. Our findings indicate that the left behind old people with low social capital were a potentially vulnerable group in rural China. Formulating and implementing initiatives and strategies which increase social capital may foster better HRQoL, especially for old people who were left behind. 18.

Science.gov (United States) Mezquita, Laura; Camacho, Laura; Suso-Ribera, Carlos; Ortet, Generós; Ibáñez, Manuel I 2018-01-15 Alcohol expectancies are proximal variables to alcohol use and misuse. In recent decades, different measures have been developed to assess this construct. One of the most frequently used and recommended instruments is the Expectancy Questionnaire (EQ; Leigh y Stacy, 1993). Our aim is to develop a short version of the EQ (EQ-SF) for suitable use in time-limited administrations. Two samples, adolescents (N = 514, 57.20% females) and adults (N = 548, 61.50% females), completed the EQ together with alcohol-use measures. Different item selection strategies were applied to select the 24 items. The EQ-SF structure was explored using confirmatory factor analysis, and measurement invariance was tested running a multi-group analysis comparing groups by sex and age. Reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha and omega coefficients. Concurrent validity was investigated with regression analyses. The EQ-SF showed acceptable between-groups measurement invariance. Alphas and omegas ranged from .77 to .93. Positive expectancies predicted both alcohol use and alcohol-related problems. Negative expectancies predicted alcohol-related problems. Sex and age moderated these associations. Males with high positive alcohol expectancies showed higher alcohol consumption than females, while adults with high negative alcohol expectancies showed greater alcohol-related problems than adolescents. Different evidence on the validity and reliability of the EQ-SF suggest that it is a suitable instrument to assess alcohol expectancies in the Spanish population. 20. [Validity and reliability of the spanish EQ-5D-Y proxy version]. Science.gov (United States) Gusi, N; Perez-Sousa, M A; Gozalo-Delgado, M; Olivares, P R 2014-10-01 A proxy version of the EQ-5D-Y, a questionnaire to evaluate the Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in children and adolescents, has recently been developed. There are currently no data on the validity and reliability of this tool. The objective of this study was to analyze the validity and reliability of the EQ-5D-Y proxy version. A core set of self-report tools, including the Spanish version of the EQ-5D-Y were administered to a group of Spanish children and adolescents drawn from the general population. A similar core set of internationally standardized proxy tools, including the EQ-5D-Y proxy version were administered to their parents. Test-retest reliability was determined, and correlations with other generic measurements of HRQoL were calculated. Additionally, known group validity was examined by comparing groups with a priori expected differences in HRQoL. The agreement between the self-report and proxy version responses was also calculated. A total of 477 children and adolescents and their parents participated in the study. One week later, 158 participants completed the EQ-5D-Y/EQ-5D-Y proxy to facilitate reliability analysis. Agreement between the test-retest scores was higher than 88% for EQ-5D-Y self-report, and proxy version. Correlations with other health measurements showed similar convergent validity to that observed in the international EQ-5D-Y. Agreement between the self-report and proxy versions ranged from 72.9% to 97.1%. The results provide preliminary evidence of the reliability and validity of the EQ-5D-Y proxy version.

Science.gov (United States) Hartman, John D; Craig, Benjamin M 2018-03-01 Summarizing patient-reported outcomes (PROs) on a quality-adjusted life year (QALY) scale is an essential component to any economic evaluation comparing alternative medical treatments. While multiple studies have compared PRO items and instruments based on their psychometric properties, no study has compared the preference-based summary of the EQ-5D-3L and Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-29) instruments. As part of this comparison, a major aim of this manuscript is to transform PROMIS-29 utility values to an EQ-5D-3L scale. A nationally representative survey of 2623 US adults completed the 29-item PROMIS health profile instrument (PROMIS-29) and the 3-level version of the EQ-5D instrument (EQ-5D-3L). Their responses were summarized on a health utility scale using published estimates. Using regression analysis, PROMIS-29 and EQ-5D-3L utility weights were compared with each other as well as with self-reported general health. PROMIS-29 utility weights were much lower than the EQ-5D-3L weights. However, a correlation coefficient of 0.769 between the utility values of the two instruments suggests that the main discordance is simply a difference in scale between the measures. It is also possible to map PROMIS-29 utility weights onto an EQ-5D-3L scale. EQ-5D-3L losses equal .1784 × (PROMIS-29 Losses) .7286 . The published estimates of the PROMIS-29 produce lower utility values than many other health instruments. Mapping the PROMIS-29 estimates to an EQ-5D-3L scale alleviates this issue and allows for a more straightforward comparison between the PROMIS-29 and other common health instruments. 2.

Testes genéticos na eqüideocultura Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Eduardo Geraldo Alves Coelho 2008-07-01 Full Text Available Nos últimos anos a equideocultura deu um salto qualitativo, havendo hoje, no mercado, animais de alto valor e geneticamente superiores. Isso é possível, em grande parte, devido aos avanços na área da genética animal, os quais permitem identificar, não apenas anomalias, mas também diversos genes de interesse econômico. Com o auxílio da citogenética pode-se identificar indivíduos com alterações no número ou na estrutura dos cromossomos, o que em muitos casos afeta principalmente a reprodução. Também a confirmação de genealogia, anteriormente feita por tipagem sangüínea e atualmente por testes de DNA, tem papel extremamente importante, não apenas por garantir a ascendência dos animais, mas também porque um pedigree confiável pode permitir ao criador identificar a origem de problemas genéticos em seu rebanho e reduzi-los ou mesmo, eliminá-los. Ainda com as ferramentas da biologia molecular, podemos hoje, identificar indivíduos que apresentam genes desejáveis ou indesejáveis, o que nos permite selecioná-los precocemente, reduzindo assim, os custos do produtor e aumentando o valor agregado dos animais. Entre tais genes podemos destacar os que identificam portadores ou afetados por mutações genéticas indesejáveis como: SCID (Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Combinada, HYPP (Parilisa Hipercalêmica, HERDA (Astenia Dérmica Regional Hereditária Eqüina, etc. Também a identificação dos genes que determinam a cor ou padrão da pelagem já pode ser feita direta ou indiretamente (por meio de marcadores genéticos, como é o caso dos genes para as pelagens Overo, Tobiano, etc. Com os avanços no estudo do genoma eqüino muito mais estará disponível em breve, o que certamente só trará maiores contribuições à equideocultura mundial.In the last few years the horse breeding industry is achieving significant progresses producing animals of high commercial value and genetically superior.

Science.gov (United States) Stevens, Katherine; Brazier, John; Rowen, Donna 2018-06-01 The aim was to estimate an exchange rate between EQ-5D-3L and the Adult Social Care Outcome Tool (ASCOT) using preference-based mapping via common time trade-off (TTO) valuations. EQ-5D and ASCOT are useful for examining cost-effectiveness within the health and social care sectors, respectively, but there is a policy need to understand overall benefits and compare across sectors to assess relative value for money. Standard statistical mapping is unsuitable since it relies on conceptual overlap of the measures but EQ-5D and ASCOT have different conceptualisations of quality of life. We use a preference-based mapping approach to estimate the exchange rate using common TTO valuations for both measures. A sample of health states from each measure was valued using TTO by 200 members of the UK adult general population. Regression analyses are used to generate separate equations between EQ-5D-3L and ASCOT values using their original value set and TTO values elicited here. These are solved as simultaneous equations to estimate the relationship between EQ-5D-3L and ASCOT. The relationship for moving from ASCOT to EQ-5D-3L is a linear transformation with an intercept of -0.0488 and gradient of 0.978. This enables QALY gains generated by ASCOT and EQ-5D to be compared across different interventions. This paper estimated an exchange rate between ASCOT and EQ-5D-3L using a preference-based mapping approach that does not compromise the descriptive systems of the two measures. This contributes to the development of preference-based mapping through the use of TTO as the common metric used to estimate the exchange rate between measures. 7. The Predictability of Iranian EFL Teachers’ Emotional Quotient (EQ with Their Job Satisfaction Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Pantea Khoshnoodfar 2018-03-01 Full Text Available As teacher education and teacher related issues are under the attention in the past decade in second language (L2 teaching /learning; this research investigated the predictability of Iranian EFL teachers’ emotional quotient (EQ with their job satisfaction. To this end, 90 EFL teachers at English language institutes in Tehran province were selected as the participants. The needed data was gathered by the use of two standardized questionnaires (filled by the participants: EQ and teacher job satisfaction questionnaires. First of all, the normality of the gathered data was checked through using SPSS version 23. Then, the Spearman coefficient of correlation was used to find whether there is any relationship between the participants’ EQ and job satisfaction. The results proved the two variables had a statistically significant and positive correlation with each other. In the next step, the researchers opted for the multiple regression analysis to achieve the research objective. The present study was a quasi-Experimental including a cause and effect design. The predictor was the independent variable (EQ and the predicted one was the dependent variable (job satisfaction. The findings illustrated a statistically significant and positive predictability of Iranian EFL teachers’ EQ with their job satisfaction. The results of the present research would be useful for second language teacher education courses. It was proven that, since teachers’ EQ can control their job satisfaction, the findings of the present paper could be beneficial in teacher training issues and teacher education. 8.

Capital Flight from Russia OpenAIRE Prakash Loungani; Paolo Mauro 2000-01-01 This paper documents the scale of capital flight from Russia, compares it with that observed in other countries, and reviews policy options. The evidence from other countries suggests that capital flight can be reversed once reforms take hold. The paper argues that capital flight from Russia can only be curbed through a medium-term reform strategy aimed at improving governance and macroeconomic performance, and strengthening the banking system. Capital controls result in costly distortions an... 10. Validity and responsiveness of the EQ-5D in assessing and valuing health status in patients with anxiety disorders Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Heinrich Sven 2010-05-01 Full Text Available Abstract Background The EQ-5D is a generic questionnaire which generates a health profile as well as index scores for health-related quality of life that may be used in cost-utility analysis. Aims of the study To examine validity and responsiveness of the EQ-5D in patients with anxiety disorders. Methods 389 patients with anxiety disorders completed the EQ-5D at baseline and 6-month follow-up. Subjective measures of quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF and psychopathology (BAI, BDI-II, BSQ, ACQ, MI were used for comparison. Validity was analyzed by assessing associations between EQ-5D scores and related other scores. Responsiveness was analyzed by calculating effect sizes of differences in scores between baseline and follow-up for 3 groups indicating more, constant or less anxiety. Meaningful difference scores for shifting to less or more anxiety were derived by means of regression analysis. Results 88.4% of respondents reported problems in at least one of the EQ-5D dimension at baseline; the mean EQ VAS score was 63.8. The EQ-5D dimension most consistently associated with the measures used for comparison was 'anxiety/depression'. EQ VAS and EQ-5D index scores were highly correlated (\|r\|>0.5 with scores of the WHOQOL-BREF dimensions 'physical', 'mental' and 'overall' as well as BAI and BDI-II. The EQ-5D index tended to be the most responsive score. Standardized meaningful difference scores were not significantly different between EQ VAS, EQ-5D index and measures used for comparison. Conclusions The EQ-5D seems to be reasonably valid and moderately responsive in patients with anxiety disorders. The EQ-5D index may be suitable for calculating QALYs in economic evaluation of health care interventions for patients with anxiety disorders.

Science.gov (United States) Azzolina, Danila; Minto, Clara; Boschetto, Stefania; Martinato, Matteo; Bauce, Barbara; Iliceto, Sabino; Gregori, Dario 2017-01-01 Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) is an indicator of patient's physical, psychological and social life. HRQoL is influenced by experience, beliefs, perceptions and expectations, and measures subjective perspective of the patient himself. EQ-5D-5L and SF-12 questionnaires are validated instruments useful to measure HRQoL, increasingly administered in electronic formats. The main purpose is to evaluate the feasibility of anchoring vignettes for the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire, with the aim to improve intergroup comparability of responses among different subjects. A comparison with SF-12 questionnaire is carried out. This is a cross-sectional study conducted at the ambulatories of cardiology of the University Hospital of Padova, in Italy. Thirty-eight subjects with a diagnosis of cardiovascular disease or at risk of cardiovascular disease were enrolled. A factorial analysis has been performed to assess the convergent validity of EQ-5D-5L questionnaire compared to Sf-12. Moreover, a compound Hierarchical Ordered Probit (Chopit) model has been estimated to evaluate if the questionnaire form affects the subjective evaluation process in order to compare EQ-5D-5L with and without vignettes. Correlation and factor analysis demonstrate that EQ_5D questionnaire is coherent with SF-12 in paper format. Chopit model estimation shows that questionnaire format does not affect the subjective question interpretation. Moreover, in a parametric model including vignettes, education attainment, disease severity, and gender are predictors of HRQoL status. The EQ-5D including vignettes in electronic format seems to be a valid tool to measure HRQoL as compared to EQ-5D without vignettes in paper format and to SF-12 questionnaire. 12. Calculation of chemical equilibrium between aqueous solution and minerals: the EQ3/6 software package International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Wolery, T.J. 1979-01-01 The newly developed EQ/36 software package computes equilibrium models of aqueous geochemical systems. The package contains two principal programs: EQ3 performs distribution-of-species calculations for natural water compositions; EQ6 uses the results of EQ3 to predict the consequences of heating and cooling aqueous solutions and of irreversible reaction in rock--water systems. The programs are valuable for studying such phenomena as the formation of ore bodies, scaling and plugging in geothermal development, and the long-term disposal of nuclear waste. EQ3 and EQ6 are compared with such well-known geochemical codes as SOLMNEQ, WATEQ, REDEQL, MINEQL, and PATHI. The data base allows calculations in the temperature interval 0 to 350 0 C, at either 1 atm-steam saturation pressures or a constant 500 bars. The activity coefficient approximations for aqueous solutes limit modeling to solutions of ionic strength less than about one molal. The mathematical derivations and numerical techniques used in EQ6 are presented in detail. The program uses the Newton--Raphson method to solve the governing equations of chemical equilibrium for a system of specified elemental composition at fixed temperature and pressure. Convergence is aided by optimizing starting estimates and by under-relaxation techniques. The minerals present in the stable phase assemblage are found by several empirical methods. Reaction path models may be generated by using this approach in conjunction with finite differences. This method is analogous to applying high-order predictor--corrector methods to integrate a corresponding set of ordinary differential equations, but avoids propagation of error (drift). 8 figures, 9 tables 13. Preliminary findings of an investigation into the relationship between national culture and EQ-5D value sets. Science.gov (United States) Bailey, Henry; Kind, Paul 2010-10-01 Despite the growing importance of the EQ-5D descriptive system as a basis for the valuation of QALYs in cost-utility analysis, for most countries, there are no EQ-5D value sets. Researchers and policy makers wishing to use the EQ-5D descriptive system in a country for which there is no value set are advised to use one from a nearby or 'similar' population. Factors other than geographic proximity can affect the relative values of EQ-5D states. This study explores the links between national culture and EQ-5D value sets. Rank correlation analysis is used to explore relationships between the relative values of a set of EQ-5D states and dimensions of national culture. The latter are taken from Hofstede's framework which operationalizes national culture in five dimensions. For the data currently available (countries for which EQ-5D value sets and scores on dimensions of culture both exist), moderate and strong correlations were found between the culture dimension of power distance and individualism and the EQ-5D dimensions of pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Moderate correlations were also observed between the cultural dimension of masculinity and the EQ-5D dimensions of self care, usual activities and pain/discomfort. Uncertainty avoidance correlates with the EQ-5D dimension of anxiety/depression. The correlation patterns observed are generally consistent with a priori expectations based on the nature of the dimensions of culture and the EQ-5D model. This analysis demonstrates the potential of national culture in providing insight into the drivers of the relative values of EQ-5D dimensions for different countries and in informing decisions about which EQ-5D value sets to use in situations where one does not exist. 14. CO{sub 2}-EQ emissions of forest chip production in Finland in 2020 Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) Kariniemi, Arto; Kaerhae, Kalle (Metsaeteho Oy, Helsinki (Finland)), e-mail: [email protected] 2010-07-15 The research carried out by Metsaeteho Oy calculated what would be the total fuel consumption and CO{sub 2}-eq emissions of forest chip production if the use of forest chips is 24 TWh in 2020 in Finland in accordance with the target set of Long-term Climate and Energy Strategy. CO{sub 2}-eq emissions were determined with Metsaeteho Oy's updated Emissions Calculation Model. If the production and consumption of forest chips in Finland are 24 TWh in 2020, then the total CO{sub 2}-eq emissions would be around 230,000 tonnes. The volume of diesel consumption was 73 million litres and petrol 1.7 million litres. Electric rail transportation and chipping at the mill site consumed 17 GWh of electricity. The supply chain with the lowest CO{sub 2}-eq emissions was logging residues comminuted at plant. Conversely, the highest CO{sub 2}-eq emissions came from stump wood when operating with terminal comminuting. Less than 3% of the energy content was consumed during the forest chip production. Energy input/output ratio in the total volume was 0.026 MWh/MWh which varied from 0.019 to 0.038 between the supply systems researched. Hence, forest chip production gave a net of some 97% of the energy content delivered at the plant 15. Is there a link between the volume of physical exercise and emotional intelligence (EQ? Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Gáspár Zoltán 2017-03-01 Full Text Available Emotional intelligence (EQ was linked to sport participation. We report two studies in which we tested the link between exercise volume, defined as weekly hours of exercise, and EQ. Volunteers (n = 64 and n = 84 completed the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale. In Study I, significant correlations between exercise volume and use- and regulation-of-emotions prompted us to use a posteriori grouping into high- and low exercise-volume groups. The former exhibited better use-of-emotions than the latter (p = .007, d = .87. In Study II, using a priori grouping, we replicated the finding from Study I (p = .001, d = .78, and the groups also differed in “self-emotions appraisal” (p = .05, d = .44 and total EQ (p = .017, d = .54. Since the items measuring the use-of-emotions involve motivational aspects of the EQ, we posit that this dimension is “naturally” linked to exercise volume. Our findings also suggest that self-emotions appraisal and the overall EQ are linked to greater volumes of exercise. These results should provide an incentive for longitudinal studies in this area. 16.

Intoxicação experimental por monensina em eqüinos Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Bezerra Jr Pedro Soares 2000-01-01 Full Text Available Sete eqüinos foram tratados experimentalmente com monensina sódica. Dois desses animais receberem 3-4 kg/eqüino/dia de uma ração comercial sabidamente implicada em surtos naturais da intoxicação por monensina em eqüinos e que continha 180 ppm±20 da droga. Um eqüino recebeu uma única dose de 5 mg/kg e um outro recebeu 4 doses diárias de 1 mg/kg de monensina sódica originária de um premix. Esses quatro eqüinos morreram ou foram sacrificados in extremis, 3-8 dias após o início da administração da droga. Um quinto eqüino recebeu dose única de 5 mg/kg de monensina, ficou levemente doente e se recuperou. Dois eqüinos não desenvolveram sinais da intoxicação. Um desses eqüinos tinha recebido 40 doses diárias de 0,5 mg/kg de monensina e o outro recebeu 3 kg/dia de uma ração da mesma marca que a usada nas fazendas onde surtos de intoxicação por monensina foram detectados (mas de uma outra partida, mais tarde determinada como contendo menos de 5 ppm de monensina. O aparecimento dos sinais clínicos ocorreu de 2 a 5 dias após a administração da droga e a duração do quadro clínico variou de 24 a 76 horas. Os sinais clínicos incluíam taquicardia, arritmia, gemidos, incoordenação, sudorese, decúbito esternal, decúbito lateral, pedaleios e morte. Em cinco dos eqüinos intoxicados observaram-se marcadas elevações da atividade plasmática de creatina fosfoquinase e, em um eqüino, houve leve aumento da atividade plasmática de aspartato aminotransferase. Os principais achados de necropsia consistiram em áreas brancas ou amarelas, focais ou focalmente extensas e bilateralmente simétricas nos músculos esqueléticos. Essas lesões eram associadas a edema gelatinoso e translúcido das fáscias intermusculares. Quadríceps femoral, adutor, pectíneo, grácil, semi-membranáceo, supra-espinhal, subescapular, braquicefálico e quadríceps femoral estavam entre os músculos esqueléticos mais afetados.

Science.gov (United States) Menezes, Renata de Miranda; Andrade, Mônica Viegas; Noronha, Kenya Valéria Micaela de Souza; Kind, Paul 2015-11-01 This study explores the use of EQ-5D-3L as a measure of population health status in a Brazilian region with significant socioeconomic, demographic, and epidemiological heterogeneity. Data came from a study of 3363 literate individuals aged between 18 and 64 years living in urban areas of the state of Minas Gerais. Descriptive analysis and logistic and OLS regression models were performed to analyze the relationship between EQ-5D-3L (descriptive system and EQ VAS) and other health (self-assessed health status and 8 self-reported diagnosed chronic diseases), socioeconomic (educational level and economic class), and demographic (gender and age) measures. Additionally, a grade of membership (GoM) analysis was performed to identify multidimensional health profiles. A total of 76 health statuses were identified in the Brazilian population. The most prevalent one is full health (44 % of the sample). Elderly people, women, and individuals with poor health and lower socioeconomic conditions generally report more health problems in the EQ-5D-3L dimensions. The GoM analysis demonstrated that health status of older individuals is associated with the socioeconomic condition. Arthritis exhibited the strongest association with the EQ-5D-3L instrument. The results indicate that EQ-5D-3L is a good measure of health status for the Brazilian population. The instrument has a good discriminatory capacity in terms of demographic, socioeconomic, and health measures. The high prevalence of individuals with full health may indicate the presence of ceiling effect. However, this prevalence is smaller than that in other countries. 1. Cultural Capital in Context: DEFF Research Database (Denmark) Andersen, Ida Gran; Jæger, Mads Meier This paper analyzes the extent to which the effect of cultural capital on academic achievement varies across high- and low-achieving schooling environments. We distinguish three competing theoretical models: Cultural reproduction (cultural capital yields higher returns in high-achieving schooling...... to be higher in low-achieving schooling environments than in high-achieving ones. These results support the cultural mobility explanation and are in line with previous research suggesting that children from low-SES families benefit more from cultural capital than children from high-SES families....... environments than in low-achieving ones), cultural mobility (cultural capital yields higher returns in low-achieving environments), and cultural resources (cultural capital yields the same returns in different environments).

Establishment of nuclear equipment qualification system International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Joo, Po Kook; Lim, Nam Jin; Lee, Young Gun 2003-04-01 This study is carried out by KEARI(Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) as the lead organization in cooperation with KIMM(Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials), KTL(Korea Testing Laboratory) and KRISS(Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science) to construct a basis of efficient management of nuclear equipment qualification business by expanding test equipment of each of participating organization, and developing qualification technologies. As for KIMM, control system of large scale shaker was replaced with advanced system, and LOCA(Loss of Coolant Accident) test facility was installed. KTL is now capable of conducting seismic tests of nuclear I and C as a result of installation of seismic test equipment during the first two project years. KRISS participated in the Project with a view to have large scale EMI test equipment and related technologies. In parallel with expansion of test equipment, a industrial-educational-research cooperation committee, as an intermediate step toward integrated equipment qualification system to maximize the usage of test equipment, was established and cooperation methods were investigated. As a result, Korea Nuclear Equipment Qualification Association, an corporate juridical person, was established. Research on development of thermal and radiation aging test technology of nuclear materials was carried out by Hanyang University and SECO(Saehan Engineering and Qualification Co., Ltd.). Integrated Equipment Qualification Database was developed which contains material test data, equipment qualification data and other EQ related informations. Standard qualification procedures were developed in order for test laboratories and manufacturers to establish design requirements and to efficiently perform tests 3. Equipment Reliability Program in NPP Krsko International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Skaler, F.; Djetelic, N. 2006-01-01 Operation that is safe, reliable, effective and acceptable to public is the common message in a mission statement of commercial nuclear power plants (NPPs). To fulfill these goals, nuclear industry, among other areas, has to focus on: 1 Human Performance (HU) and 2 Equipment Reliability (EQ). The performance objective of HU is as follows: The behaviors of all personnel result in safe and reliable station operation. While unwanted human behaviors in operations mostly result directly in the event, the behavior flaws either in the area of maintenance or engineering usually cause decreased equipment reliability. Unsatisfied Human performance leads even the best designed power plants into significant operating events, which can be found as well-known examples in nuclear industry. Equipment reliability is today recognized as the key to success. While the human performance at most NPPs has been improving since the start of WANO / INPO / IAEA evaluations, the open energy market has forced the nuclear plants to reduce production costs and operate more reliably and effectively. The balance between these two (opposite) goals has made equipment reliability even more important for safe, reliable and efficient production. Insisting on on-line operation by ignoring some principles of safety could nowadays in a well-developed safety culture and human performance environment exceed the cost of electricity losses. In last decade the leading USA nuclear companies put a lot of effort to improve equipment reliability primarily based on INPO Equipment Reliability Program AP-913 at their NPP stations. The Equipment Reliability Program is the key program not only for safe and reliable operation, but also for the Life Cycle Management and Aging Management on the way to the nuclear power plant life extension. The purpose of Equipment Reliability process is to identify, organize, integrate and coordinate equipment reliability activities (preventive and predictive maintenance, maintenance 4. Validity, responsiveness, and minimal clinically important difference of EQ-5D-5L in stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation. Science.gov (United States) Chen, Poyu; Lin, Keh-Chung; Liing, Rong-Jiuan; Wu, Ching-Yi; Chen, Chia-Ling; Chang, Ku-Chou 2016-06-01 To examine the criterion validity, responsiveness, and minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of the EuroQoL 5-Dimensions Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) and visual analog scale (EQ-VAS) in people receiving rehabilitation after stroke. The EQ-5D-5L, along with four criterion measures-the Medical Research Council scales for muscle strength, the Fugl-Meyer assessment, the functional independence measure, and the Stroke Impact Scale-was administered to 65 patients with stroke before and after 3- to 4-week therapy. Criterion validity was estimated using the Spearman correlation coefficient. Responsiveness was analyzed by the effect size, standardized response mean (SRM), and criterion responsiveness. The MCID was determined by anchor-based and distribution-based approaches. The percentage of patients exceeding the MCID was also reported. Concurrent validity of the EQ-Index was better compared with the EQ-VAS. The EQ-Index has better power for predicting the rehabilitation outcome in the activities of daily living than other motor-related outcome measures. The EQ-Index was moderately responsive to change (SRM = 0.63), whereas the EQ-VAS was only mildly responsive to change. The MCID estimation of the EQ-Index (the percentage of patients exceeding the MCID) was 0.10 (33.8 %) and 0.10 (33.8 %) based on the anchor-based and distribution-based approaches, respectively, and the estimation of EQ-VAS was 8.61 (41.5 %) and 10.82 (32.3 %). The EQ-Index has shown reasonable concurrent validity, limited predictive validity, and acceptable responsiveness for detecting the health-related quality of life in stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation, but not for EQ-VAS. Future research considering different recovery stages after stroke is warranted to validate these estimations. 5.

Cryogenic equipment International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Leger, L.; Javellaud, J.; Caro, C.; Gilguy, R.; Testard, O. 1966-06-01 The cryostats presented here were built from standard parts; this makes it possible to construct a great variety of apparatus at minimum cost. The liquid nitrogen and helium reservoirs were designed so as to reduce losses to a minimum, and so as to make the cryostats as autonomous as possible. The experimental enclosure which is generally placed in the lower part of the apparatus requires a separate study in every case. Furthermore, complete assemblies such as transfer rods, isolated traps and high vacuum valves, were designed with a similar regard for the economic aspects and for the need for standardization. This equipment thus satisfies a great variety of experimental needs; it is readily adaptable and the consumptions of helium and liquid nitrogen are very low. (authors) [fr 12.

The Universe in Your City - Nineteen Capitals Science.gov (United States) Scarpa, D.; Más, A. 2010-10-01 The programme, The Universe in Your City - Nineteen Capitals, took us to each of Uruguay's nineteen provincial capitals. In each capital we erected our Kappa Crucis Digital Mobile Planetarium and were able to reach a wide range of children of school age, and especially children in "critical contexts" (i.e. socially and economically deprived children). We transported our equipment, together with the exhibition materials for the IYA2009 Cornerstone project, From Earth To The Universe - and set it up in open public spaces, staying in each location for one week and offering an average of nine daily 40-minute presentations. Each session featured information on Galileo Galilei's discoveries, the Uruguayan night sky and the cultural heritage provided by the sky. A record number of 46 428 people participated in the 884 sessions held between April and September; while many more simply visited the exhibition. This reflects the remarkable success of the project. 17. Implementing a Capital Plan.

Science.gov (United States) Sen, Rijurekha; Quercia, Daniele 2018-01-01 In its most basic form, the spatial capital of a neighborhood entails that most aspects of daily life are located close at hand. Urban planning researchers have widely recognized its importance, not least because it can be transformed in other forms of capital such as economical capital (e.g., house prices, retail sales) and social capital (e.g., neighborhood cohesion). Researchers have already studied spatial capital from official city data. Their work led to important planning decisions, yet it also relied on data that is costly to create and update, and produced metrics that are difficult to compare across cities. By contrast, we propose to measure spatial capital in cheap and standardized ways around the world. Hence the name of our project "World Wide Spatial Capital". Our measures are cheap as they rely on the most basic information about a city that is currently available on the Web (i.e., which amenities are available and where). They are also standardized because they can be applied in any city in the five continents (as opposed to previous metrics that were mainly applied in USA and UK). We show that, upon these metrics, one could produce insights at the core of the urban planning discipline: which areas would benefit the most from urban interventions; how to inform planning depending on whether a city's activity is mono- or poly-centric; how different cities fare against each other; and how spatial capital correlates with other urban characteristics such as mobility patterns and road network structure. 19.

Extension of the EQ3/6 computer codes to geochemical modeling of brines Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) Jackson, K.J.; Wolery, T.J. 1984-10-23 Recent modifications to the EQ3/6 geochemical modeling software package provide for the use of Pitzer's equations to calculate the activity coefficients of aqueous species and the activity of water. These changes extend the range of solute concentrations over which the codes can be used to dependably calculate equilibria in geochemical systems, and permit the inclusion of ion pairs, complexes, and undissociated acids and bases as explicit component species in the Pitzer model. Comparisons of calculations made by the EQ3NR and EQ6 compuer codes with experimental data confirm that the modifications not only allow the codes to accurately evaluate activity coefficients in concentrated solutions, but also permit prediction of solubility limits of evaporite minerals in brines at 25/sup 0/C and elevated temperatures. Calculations for a few salts can be made at temperatures up to approx. 300/sup 0/C, but the temperature range for most electrolytes is constrained by the availability of requisite data to values less than or equal to 100/sup 0/C. The implementation of Pitzer's equations in EQ3/6 allows application of these codes to problems involving calculation of geochemical equilibria in brines; such as evaluation of the chemical environment which might be anticipated for nuclear waste canisters located in a salt repository. 26 references, 3 figures, 1 table. 3.

Social Capital in Asia DEFF Research Database (Denmark) Li, Peter Ping; Redding, Gordon 2014-01-01 This article provides an overview of social capital in Asia. Social capital is trust and appears in two main forms: relational, based on societal norms, and systemic, based on societal institutions. The relational encourages personalistic transactions; and systemic trust, supports more formal......, and usually larger, transactions backed by law. For economic development, the systemic form becomes crucial but needs to be compatible with relational norms. The dimensions of social capital are often dual in nature. This article employs a theory that accepts this and analyses the phenomena as yin......–yang balancing, seeing trust as a culturally determined enabler of social cooperation. The evolutions of trustworthiness in Japan, China, and the Philippines are analysed.

Data came from a valuation study with 3362 literate individuals aged between 18 and 64 years living in urban areas. The present study was based on quota sampling by age and sex. Face-to-face interviews were conducted in participants' own homes. A total of 99 EQ-5D questionnaire health states were selected, presorted into 26 blocks of six unique health states. Each participant valued one block together with the full health, worst health, and dead states. Each health state was evaluated by more than 100 individuals. TTO data were modeled at both individual and aggregate levels by using ordinary least squares and random effects methods. Values estimated by different models yielded very similar results with satisfactory goodness-of-fit statistics: the mean absolute error was around 0.03 and fewer than 25% of the states had a mean absolute error greater than 0.05. Dummies coefficients for each level within the EQ-5D questionnaire dimensions of health displayed an internally consistent ordering, with the mobility dimension demonstrating the largest value decrement. The values of mean observed transformed TTO values range from 0.869 to-0.235. The study demonstrates the feasibility of conducting face-to-face interviews using TTO in a Brazilian population setting. The estimated values for EQ-5D questionnaire health states based on this Minas Gerais survey represent an important first step in establishing national Brazilian social preference weights for the EQ-5D questionnaire.

Mapping EORTC QLQ-C30 onto EQ-5D for the assessment of cancer patients Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Kim Seon Ha 2012-12-01 Full Text Available Abstract Background The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30 is the instrument most frequently used to measure quality of life in cancer patients, whereas the EQ-5D is widely used to measure and evaluate general health status. Although the EORTC QLQ-C30 has been mapped to EQ-5D utilities, those studies were limited to patients with a single type of cancer. The present study aimed to develop a mapping relationship between the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EQ-5D-based utility values at the individual level. Methods The model was derived using patients with different types of cancer who were receiving chemotherapy. The external validation set comprised outpatients with colon cancer. Ordinary least squares regression was used to estimate the EQ-5D index from the EORTC QLQ-C30 results. The predictability, goodness of fit, and signs of the estimated coefficients of the model were assessed. Predictive ability was determined by calculating the mean absolute error, the estimated proportions with absolute errors > 0.05 and > 0.1, and the root-mean-squared error (RMSE. Results A model that included global health, physical, role, emotional functions, and pain was optimal, with a mean absolute error of 0.069 and an RMSE of 0.095 (normalized RMSE, 8.1%. The explanatory power of this model was 51.6%. The mean absolute error was higher for modeled patients in poor health. Conclusions This mapping algorithm enabled the EORTC QLQ-C30 to be converted to the EQ-5D utility index to assess cancer patients in Korea. 11. Mapping of the DLQI scores to EQ-5D utility values using ordinal logistic regression. Science.gov (United States) Ali, Faraz Mahmood; Kay, Richard; Finlay, Andrew Y; Piguet, Vincent; Kupfer, Joerg; Dalgard, Florence; Salek, M Sam 2017-11-01 The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and the European Quality of Life-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) are separate measures that may be used to gather health-related quality of life (HRQoL) information from patients. The EQ-5D is a generic measure from which health utility estimates can be derived, whereas the DLQI is a specialty-specific measure to assess HRQoL. To reduce the burden of multiple measures being administered and to enable a more disease-specific calculation of health utility estimates, we explored an established mathematical technique known as ordinal logistic regression (OLR) to develop an appropriate model to map DLQI data to EQ-5D-based health utility estimates. Retrospective data from 4010 patients were randomly divided five times into two groups for the derivation and testing of the mapping model. Split-half cross-validation was utilized resulting in a total of ten ordinal logistic regression models for each of the five EQ-5D dimensions against age, sex, and all ten items of the DLQI. Using Monte Carlo simulation, predicted health utility estimates were derived and compared against those observed. This method was repeated for both OLR and a previously tested mapping methodology based on linear regression. The model was shown to be highly predictive and its repeated fitting demonstrated a stable model using OLR as well as linear regression. The mean differences between OLR-predicted health utility estimates and observed health utility estimates ranged from 0.0024 to 0.0239 across the ten modeling exercises, with an average overall difference of 0.0120 (a 1.6% underestimate, not of clinical importance). This modeling framework developed in this study will enable researchers to calculate EQ-5D health utility estimates from a specialty-specific study population, reducing patient and economic burden. 12.

Reliability and validity of the EQ-5D-3L for Kashin-Beck disease in China. Science.gov (United States) Fang, Hua; Farooq, Umer; Wang, Dimiao; Yu, Fangfang; Younus, Mohammad Imran; Guo, Xiong 2016-01-01 Kashin-Beck Disease (KBD) is an endemic osteoarthropathy in areas which extend from the North-East to the South-West of China. Most of the patients with KBD suffer multiple dysfunctions in major joints causing decreased health status. However because of their low education level and unique living habits, it is hard to find tools to measure the health-related quality of life (HRQOL). European quality of life (EQ-5D-3L) patient-reported instrument is widely used to measure HRQOL. This study aimed to establish the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the EQ-5D-3L for evaluating HRQOL of KBD individuals in rural area. 368 individuals who were suffering from KBD were recruited through stratified multistage random sampling from Shaanxi province, China. The EQ-5D-3L and the WHOQOL-BREF were administrated in each individual by face to face interview. Test-retest reliability was assessed at 10-14 days intervals. The test-retest reliability was measured by calculating the Kappa coefficients for EQ-5D-3L five dimensions. For the EQ VAS, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was computed. Convergent and divergent analysis, construct validity was established using Spearman's rank correlation between the EQ-5D-3L and the WHOQOL-BREF. Known groups' validity was examined by comparing groups with a priori expected differences in health-related quality of life (HRQOL). For 362 individuals (98%), comprehensive data of all the EQ-5D-3L dimensions were available. Kappa values of the EQ-5D-3L five items ranged from 0.324 to 0.554. ICC of the EQ VAS was 0.497. For convergent validity, the three items (self-care, usual activity, and mobility) of EQ-5D-3L, index scores, and VAS showed moderate correlations with the physical health domain of the WHOQOL-BREF (r absolute value ranged from 0.339 to 0.475). For divergent validity, the 5 items of EQ-5D-3L showed weak or no correlations with environment and social relationship domains of WHOQOL-BREF. The Chinese EQ-5D-3L 5. Association of market, organizational and financial factors with the number, and types of capital expenditures. Science.gov (United States) McCue, Michael J 2011-01-01 Prior literature provides only a descriptive view of the types and numbers of capital expenditures made by hospitals. This study conducted an empirical analysis to assess simultaneously what market, organizational, and financial factors relate to the number of capital projects as well as the specific types: medical equipment, expansion, and maintenance projects. Sampling California hospital capital expenditure data from 2002 to 2007, this study aggregated the number of capital projects by each type of capital investment decision: medical equipment, expansion, and maintenance/renovation per hospital. Using ordinary least squares regression, this study evaluated the association of these factors with these types of capital investment projects. This study found that hospitals capturing a greater share of the market, maintaining high levels of liquidity, and operating with more than 350 beds invested in a greater number of capital projects per hospital as well as medical equipment and expansionary projects per hospital. Within the state of California, the demand for health care services within a hospital market as well as cash and investment reserves were key drivers in the hospital CEOs and boards' decision to increase their capital purchases. The types of purchases included capital outlays related to medical equipment, such as CT scanners, MRIs, and surgical systems, and revenue-generating expansionary projects, such as new bed towers, hospitals wings, operating and emergency rooms, and replacement hospitals from 2002 to 2007. 6.

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Rijurekha Sen Full Text Available In its most basic form, the spatial capital of a neighborhood entails that most aspects of daily life are located close at hand. Urban planning researchers have widely recognized its importance, not least because it can be transformed in other forms of capital such as economical capital (e.g., house prices, retail sales and social capital (e.g., neighborhood cohesion. Researchers have already studied spatial capital from official city data. Their work led to important planning decisions, yet it also relied on data that is costly to create and update, and produced metrics that are difficult to compare across cities. By contrast, we propose to measure spatial capital in cheap and standardized ways around the world. Hence the name of our project "World Wide Spatial Capital". Our measures are cheap as they rely on the most basic information about a city that is currently available on the Web (i.e., which amenities are available and where. They are also standardized because they can be applied in any city in the five continents (as opposed to previous metrics that were mainly applied in USA and UK. We show that, upon these metrics, one could produce insights at the core of the urban planning discipline: which areas would benefit the most from urban interventions; how to inform planning depending on whether a city's activity is mono- or poly-centric; how different cities fare against each other; and how spatial capital correlates with other urban characteristics such as mobility patterns and road network structure. 8.

Modeling ion exchange in clinoptilolite using the EQ3/6 geochemical modeling code International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Viani, B.E.; Bruton, C.J. 1992-06-01 Assessing the suitability of Yucca Mtn., NV as a potential repository for high-level nuclear waste requires the means to simulate ion-exchange behavior of zeolites. Vanselow and Gapon convention cation-exchange models have been added to geochemical modeling codes EQ3NR/EQ6, allowing exchange to be modeled for up to three exchangers or a single exchanger with three independent sites. Solid-solution models that are numerically equivalent to the ion-exchange models were derived and also implemented in the code. The Gapon model is inconsistent with experimental adsorption isotherms of trace components in clinoptilolite. A one-site Vanselow model can describe adsorption of Cs or Sr on clinoptilolite, but a two-site Vanselow exchange model is necessary to describe K contents of natural clinoptilolites 11.

Use of GOTHIC Code for Assessment of Equipment Environmental Qualification International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Cavlina, N.; Feretic, D.; Grgic, D.; Spalj, S.; Spiler, J. 1996-01-01 Environmental qualification (EQ) of equipment important to safety in nuclear power plants ensures its capability to perform designated safety function on demand under postulated service conditions, including harsh accident environment (e. g. LOCA, HELB). The computer code GOTHIC was used to calculate pressure and temperature profiles inside NPP Krsko containment during limiting LOCA and MSLB accidents. The results of the new best-estimate containment code are compared to the older CONTEMPT code using the same input data and assumptions. The predictions obtained by both codes are very similar. As a result of the calculation the envelopes of the LOCA and MSLB pressures and temperatures, as used in FSAR/USAR Chapter 6, can be used in EQ project. (author) 13.

General population individuals were randomly assigned to value 10 health states using composite time trade off and 7 pairs of health states through discrete choice experiments. A stratified sampling with quotas by location, gender, age and socio-economic status was used to respect the Uruguayan population structure. Trained interviewers conducted face-to-face interviews. The EuroQol valuation technology was used to administer the protocol as well as to collect the data. OLS and maximum likelihood robust regression models with or without interactions were tested. We included 794 respondents between 20 and 83 years. Their characteristics were broadly similar to the Uruguayan population. The main effects robust model was chosen to derive social values. Values ranged from -0.264 to 1. States with a misery index = 6 had a mean predicted value of 0.965. When comparing the Uruguayan population with the Argentinian EQ-5D-5L crosswalk value set, the prediction for states which differed from full health only in having one of the dimensions at level 2 were about 0.05 higher in Uruguay. The mean index value, using the selected Uruguayan EQ-5D-5L value set, for the general population in Uruguay was 0.895. In general, older people had worse values and males had slightly better values than females. We derived the EQ-5D-5L Uruguayan value set, the first in Latin America. These results will help inform decision-making using economic evaluations for resource allocation decisions. 18. Psychometric properties of the Serbian version of the Empathy Quotient (S-EQ Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Dimitrijević Aleksandar 2012-01-01 Full Text Available In the present study we examined psychometric properties of the Serbian translation of the Empathy Quotient scale (S-EQ. The translated version of the EQ was applied on a sample of 694 high-school students. A sub-sample consisting of 375 high-school students also completed the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI, another widely used empathy measure. The following statistical analyses were applied: internal consistency analysis, explanatory (EFA and confirmatory (CFA factor analyses, and factor congruence analysis. Correlation with IRI and gender differences were calculated to demonstrate validity of the instrument. Results show that the Serbian 40-item version of EQ has lower reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = .782 than the original. The originally proposed one factor structure of the instrument was not confirmed. The short version with 28 items showed better reliablity (alpha= .807. The three-factor solution (cognitive empathy, emotional reactivity, and social skills showed good cross-sample stability (Tucker congruence coefficient over .8 but the results of CFA confirmed the solution proposed in the reviewed literature only partially. The mean scores are similar to those obtained in the other studies, and, as expected, women have significantly higher scores than men. Correlations with all subscales of IRI are statistically significant for the first two subscales of EQ, but not for the „social skills.” We concluded that the Serbian version of the „Empathy Quotient” is a useful research tool which can contribute to cross-cultural studies of empathy, although its psychometric characteristics are not as good as those obtained in the original study. We also suggest that a 28-item should be used preferably to the original 40-item version.

Examining the incremental impact of long-standing health conditions on subjective well-being alongside the EQ-5D. Science.gov (United States) Wu, Mengjun; Brazier, John; Relton, Clare; Cooper, Cindy; Smith, Christine; Blackburn, Joanna 2014-04-29 Generic preference-based measures such as the EQ-5D and SF-6D have been criticised for being narrowly focused on a sub-set of dimensions of health. Our study aims to explore whether long-standing health conditions have an incremental impact on subjective well-being alongside the EQ-5D. Using data from the South Yorkshire Cohort study (N = 13,591) collected between 2010 and 2012 on the EQ-5D, long-standing health conditions (self-reported), and subjective well-being measure--life satisfaction using a response scale from 0 (completely dissatisfied) to 10 (completely satisfied), we employed generalised logit regression models. We assessed the impact of EQ-5D and long-standing health conditions together on life satisfaction by examining the size and significance of their estimated odds ratios. The EQ-5D had a significant association with life satisfaction, in which anxiety/depression and then self-care had the largest weights. Some long-standing health conditions were significant in some models, but most did not have an independent impact on life satisfaction. Overall, none of the health conditions had a consistent impact on life satisfaction alongside the EQ-5D. Out study suggests that the impact of long-standing health conditions on life satisfaction is adequately captured by the EQ-5D, although the findings are limited by reliance on self-reported conditions and a single item life satisfaction measure. 1. Equipment qualification testing - a practical approach International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Davies, G.A.; McDougall, R.I.; Poirier, M.P. 1996-01-01 When nuclear safety equipment is credited with a Required Safety Function it must properly perform that function to facilitate safe control and/or shutdown of the plant during a design basis accident. When such equipment is required to be environmentally (EQ) and/or seismically qualified (SQ) for safety related use in CANDU nuclear power plants, the preferred method of qualification is by type testing. The qualification testing process requires that the test specimen equipment be subjected to the aging stressors associated with the normal service conditions that it would experience during it's required qualified (or service) life. Following the aging process, the test specimen is in a condition representative of that in which it would be at the end of its service life in the plant. The test specimen is then subjected to a simulated accident during which it must satisfy performance requirements thereby demonstrating that it can perform its required safety function. The performance requirements specified for the qualification testing must be designed to ensure that satisfactory performance of the safety function is demonstrated during the qualification program. This paper provides descriptions of practical methods used in the deriving and satisfying of relevant performance requirements during the qualification testing of safety related equipment.

Validation of Ulchin Units 1, 2 CONTEMPT Model Prior to the Production of EQ Envelope Curve International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Hwang, Su Hyun; Kim, Min Ki; Hong, Soon Joon; Lee, Byung Chul; Suh, Jeong Kwan; Lee, Jae Yong; Song, Dong Soo 2010-01-01 The Ulchin Units 1, 2 will be refurbished with RSG (Replacement of Steam Generator) and PU (Power Uprate). The current EQ (Environmental Qualification) envelope curve should be modified according to RSG and PU. The containment P/T (Pressure/Temperature) analysis in Ulchin Units 1, 2 FSAR was done using EDF computer program PAREO6. PAREO6 uses the same assumptions as the US NRC CONTEMPT program, and the results given by both programs are in good agreement. It is utilized to determine pressure and temperature variations in a PWR containment subsequent to a reactor coolant or secondary system pipe break. But PAREO6 cannot be available to the production of EQ envelope curve, so CONTEMPT code should be used instead of PAREO6. It is essential to validate the CONTEMPT OSG (Original Steam Generator) model prior to the production of EQ envelope curve considering RSG and PU.

The equipment items on the list have been grouped into three priority categories as a planning aid to AECB staff for a review of the qualification status of the special safety systems 7. Testing mapping algorithms of the cancer-specific EORTC QLQ-C30 onto EQ-5D in malignant mesothelioma. Science.gov (United States) Arnold, David T; Rowen, Donna; Versteegh, Matthijs M; Morley, Anna; Hooper, Clare E; Maskell, Nicholas A 2015-01-23 In order to estimate utilities for cancer studies where the EQ-5D was not used, the EORTC QLQ-C30 can be used to estimate EQ-5D using existing mapping algorithms. Several mapping algorithms exist for this transformation, however, algorithms tend to lose accuracy in patients in poor health states. The aim of this study was to test all existing mapping algorithms of QLQ-C30 onto EQ-5D, in a dataset of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma, an invariably fatal malignancy where no previous mapping estimation has been published. Health related quality of life (HRQoL) data where both the EQ-5D and QLQ-C30 were used simultaneously was obtained from the UK-based prospective observational SWAMP (South West Area Mesothelioma and Pemetrexed) trial. In the original trial 73 patients with pleural mesothelioma were offered palliative chemotherapy and their HRQoL was assessed across five time points. This data was used to test the nine available mapping algorithms found in the literature, comparing predicted against observed EQ-5D values. The ability of algorithms to predict the mean, minimise error and detect clinically significant differences was assessed. The dataset had a total of 250 observations across 5 timepoints. The linear regression mapping algorithms tested generally performed poorly, over-estimating the predicted compared to observed EQ-5D values, especially when observed EQ-5D was below 0.5. The best performing algorithm used a response mapping method and predicted the mean EQ-5D with accuracy with an average root mean squared error of 0.17 (Standard Deviation; 0.22). This algorithm reliably discriminated between clinically distinct subgroups seen in the primary dataset. This study tested mapping algorithms in a population with poor health states, where they have been previously shown to perform poorly. Further research into EQ-5D estimation should be directed at response mapping methods given its superior performance in this study. 8. Capital Flight and Economic Performance OpenAIRE Beja, Edsel Jr. 2007-01-01 Capital flight aggravates resource constraints and contributes to undermine long-term economic growth. Counterfactual calculations on the Philippines suggest that capital flight contributed to lower the quality of long-term economic growth. Sustained capital flight over three decades means that capital flight had a role for the Philippines to lose the opportunities to achieve economic takeoff. Unless decisive policy actions are taken up to address enduring capital flight and manage the macroe... 9. The Role of Capital Productivity in British Airways' Financial Recovery Science.gov (United States) Morrell, Peter 1999-01-01 British Airways (BA) was privatised in 1987, but its financial recovery occurred a number of years earlier. This recovery was sustained throughout the early 1990s economic recession, a period when few major airlines were operating profitably. This paper examines the role of productivity developments at British Airways from the early 1980s through 1996. The emphasis is on capital productivity and investment, but changes in capital intensity and labour productivity are also evaluated. Various measures are considered for both capital and labour productivity: outputs are measured in available tonne-kms (ATKS) and revenue tonne-kms (RTKs), with the former preferred over the latter two measures, after adjustment for work performed by BA for others. Capital inputs are measured in equivalent lease costs adjusted to constant prices with a different treatment of flight and ground equipment or assets. Labour inputs are derived from total payroll costs deflated by a UK wage price index. The airline made considerable capital investments over the period and at the same time went through two major processes of labour restructuring. This resulted in a gradual increase in capital intensity, relative high labour productivity growth, but poor capital productivity performance. However, capital investment played an important role in the airline's sustained labour and total factor productivity over the whole period. 10. Estimating EQ-5D values from the Oswestry Disability Index and numeric rating scales for back and leg pain. Science.gov (United States) Carreon, Leah Y; Bratcher, Kelly R; Das, Nandita; Nienhuis, Jacob B; Glassman, Steven D 2014-04-15 Cross-sectional cohort. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the EuroQOL-5D (EQ-5D) can be derived from commonly available low back disease-specific health-related quality of life measures. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and numeric rating scales (0-10) for back pain (BP) and leg pain (LP) are widely used disease-specific measures in patients with lumbar degenerative disorders. Increasingly, the EQ-5D is being used as a measure of utility due to ease of administration and scoring. The EQ-5D, ODI, BP, and LP were prospectively collected in 14,544 patients seen in clinic for lumbar degenerative disorders. Pearson correlation coefficients for paired observations from multiple time points between ODI, BP, LP, and EQ-5D were determined. Regression modeling was done to compute the EQ-5D score from the ODI, BP, and LP. The mean age was 53.3 ± 16.4 years and 41% were male. Correlations between the EQ-5D and the ODI, BP, and LP were statistically significant (P < 0.0001) with correlation coefficients of -0.77, -0.50, and -0.57, respectively. The regression equation: [0.97711 + (-0.00687 × ODI) + (-0.01488 × LP) + (-0.01008 × BP)] to predict EQ-5D, had an R2 of 0.61 and a root mean square error of 0.149. The model using ODI alone had an R2 of 0.57 and a root mean square error of 0.156. The model using the individual ODI items had an R2 of 0.64 and a root mean square error of 0.143. The correlation coefficient between the observed and estimated EQ-5D score was 0.78. There was no statistically significant difference between the actual EQ-5D (0.553 ± 0.238) and the estimated EQ-5D score (0.553 ± 0.186) using the ODI, BP, and LP regression model. However, rounding off the coefficients to less than 5 decimal places produced less accurate results. Unlike previous studies showing a robust relationship between low back-specific measures and the Short Form-6D, a similar relationship was not seen between the ODI, BP, LP, and the EQ-5D. Thus, the EQ-5D cannot be 11. Health-related quality of life measured using the EQ-5D-5L: South Australian population norms. Science.gov (United States) McCaffrey, Nikki; Kaambwa, Billingsley; Currow, David C; Ratcliffe, Julie 2016-09-20 Although a five level version of the widely-used EuroQol 5 dimensions (EQ-5D) instrument has been developed, population norms are not yet available for Australia to inform the future valuation of health in economic evaluations. The aim of this study was to estimate HrQOL normative values for the EQ-5D-5L preference-based measure in a large, randomly selected, community sample in South Australia. The EQ-5D-5L instrument was included in the 2013 South Australian Health Omnibus Survey, an interviewer-administered, face-to-face, cross-sectional survey. Respondents rated their level of impairment across dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) and global health rating on a visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS). Utility scores were derived using the newly-developed UK general population-based algorithm and relationships between utility and EQ-VAS scores and socio-demographic factors were also explored using multivariate regression analyses. Ultimately, 2,908 adults participated in the survey (63.4 % participation rate). The mean utility and EQ-VAS scores were 0.91 (95 CI 0.90, 0.91) and 78.55 (95 % CI 77.95, 79.15), respectively. Almost half of respondents reported no problems across all dimensions (42.8 %), whereas only 7.2 % rated their health >90 on the EQ-VAS (100 = the best health you can imagine). Younger age, male gender, longer duration of education, higher annual household income, employment and marriage/de facto relationships were all independent, statistically significant predictors of better health status (p measured with the EQ-VAS. Only age and employment status were associated with higher utility scores, indicating fundamental differences between these measures of health status. This is the first Australian study to apply the EQ-5D-5L in a large, community sample. Overall, findings are consistent with EQ-5D-5L utility and VAS scores reported for other countries and indicate that the majority of South 12. 78 FR 76973 - Regulatory Capital Rules: Regulatory Capital, Implementation of Basel III, Capital Adequacy...

Assessment of electrical equipment aging for nuclear power plant Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) NONE 2013-08-15 The electrical and instrumentation equipments, especially whose parts are made of polymer material, are gradually degraded by thermal and radiation environment in the normal operation, and the degradation is thought to progress rapidly when they are exposed to the environment of the design basis event (DBE). The integrity of the equipments is evaluated by the environmental qualification (EQ) test simulating the environment of the normal operation and the DBE. The project of 'Assessment of Cable Aging for Nuclear Power Plants' (ACA, 2002-2008) indicated the importance of applying simultaneous thermal and radiation aging for simulating the aging in normal operation. The project of 'Assessment of Electrical Equipment Aging for Nuclear Power Plants' (AEA) was initiated in FY2008 to apply the outcome of ACA to the other electrical and instrumentation equipment and to establish an advanced EQ test method that can appropriately simulate the environment in actual plants. In FY2012, aging characteristics of thermal aging and simultaneous aging were obtained for the epoxy resin of electrical penetrations and the O-ring of connectors. Physical property measurement was carried out for epoxy resin of electrical penetration subject to the type testing in FY2010. (author) 14.

Capital effectiveness in a capital intensive project Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) Yarossi, M.E. (IPA Institute, The Hague (Netherlands)) 2009-07-01 The technical difficulty of incorporating new technology in capital intensive projects has been underestimated. Bio-refineries projects are no exemption. These projects in many occasions have assigned inadequate project resources, such as lean project teams and overly optimistic contingencies. Furthermore, project developers have set unrealistic expectations; for example: aggressive schedule duration, low cost targets and optimistic operability targets. These project drivers set before project's authorization compromise the project's outcome. In many cases, this translates into lower return on investment, higher costs, and lower operability. In order to counteract these outcomes, it is critical for capital intensive projects, like bio-refineries, to have a well define project which will enable to increase its chance of success. IPA's research has shown that bio-refineries projects have poor project performance due to poor project practices, lack of owner project controls and inadequate change management. An adequate risk analysis during definition is a critical component of a project's success, especially when there is new technology, like biomass conversion. It is of outmost importance to asses this technology and set realistic expectations. parallel to this, there is a need to have a well established execution strategy, which should be maintained throughout the execution of the project. In conclusion, IPA's research has indicated that bio-refineries, as any other capital intensive project, need to assign adequate resources at an early state of project development, by making sure there is and adequate team in place, reasonable schedule, technical difficulties evaluation, and keeping control during execution. Although these elements might be seen as common practices that should be taken into account when developing a project, many projects being their execution without having a proper foundation, and thus affecting the project 16.

Energy and the capital of nations Science.gov (United States) Karakatsanis, Georgios 2016-04-01 The economically useful time of fossil fuels in Earth is estimated in just ~160 years, while humanity itself counts ~150103 years. Within only ~0,15% of this time, humanity has used more energy, accumulating so much wealth than within the rest of its existence time. According to this perspective, the availability of heat gradients is what fundamentally drives the evolution of economic systems, via the extensive enhancement -or even substitution- of human labor (Ayres and Warr 2009). In the modern industrial civilization it is estimated (Kümmel 2011) that the average human ability to generate wealth (productivity) has increased by ~40%-50% -including the effects from the growth of human population- further augmented by significant economies of scale achieved in the industrial era. This process led to significant accumulation of surpluses that generally have the form of capital. Although capital is frequently confused with the stock of mechanical equipment, capital can be generalized as any form of accumulated (not currently consumed) production factor that can deliver a benefit in the future. In that sense, capital is found in various forms, such as machinery, technology or natural resources and environmental capacities. While it is expected that anthropogenic forms of capital are accumulated along the increase of energy use, natural capital should be declining, due to the validity of the Second Law of Thermodynamics (2nd Law), entropy production and -in turn- the irreversible (monotonic) consumption of exergy (Wall 2005). Regressions of the LINear EXponential (LINEX) function (an economic growth function depending linearly on energy and exponentially on output elasticity quotients) (Lindenbeger and Kummel 2011) for a number of industrialized economies -like the USA, Germany and Japan, found that output elasticities were highest for energy (except for US where it was second highest after capital); meaning that in industrial economies, energy comprises the most 19.

Capitation, contracts, and control International Nuclear Information System (INIS) McIsaac, L.H. 1987-01-01 The radiology business manager in today's environment must become proficient in contract evaluations and negotiations. Health care is focusing on preventive medicine. Third-party payers are offering plans and programs to provide ''well-patient'' care. For prepaid (HMO-IPA-PTO) plans to succeed, demands for reduced fees and other entrepreneurial contractual arrangements are developed. This presentation will focus on specific items contained in most contracts. The issues of withhold, billing procedures, prompt-payment rewards, medical liability, capitation determinations, and modified capitation plans will be discussed. It is the intent of this presentation to share with the audience methods of evaluating contracts, the importance of negotiating specific terms, and an approach to determination of capitation amounts 1. Thinking strategically about capitation. Science.gov (United States) Boland, P 1997-05-01 All managed care stakeholders--health plan members, employers, providers, community organizations, and government entitites--share a common interest in reducing healthcare costs while improving the quality of care health plan members receive. Although capitation is a usually thought of primarily as a payment mechanism, it can be a powerful tool providers and health plans can use to accomplish these strategic objectives and others, such as restoring and maintaining the health of plan members or improving a community's health status. For capitation to work effectively as a strategic tool, its use must be tied to a corporate agenda of partnering with stakeholders to achieve broader strategic goals. Health plans and providers must develop a partnership strategy in which each stakeholder has well-defined roles and responsibilities. The capitation structure must reinforce interdependence, shift focus from meeting organizational needs to meeting customer needs, and develop risk-driven care strategies. 2. Risk capital allocation DEFF Research Database (Denmark) Hougaard, Jens Leth; Smilgins, Aleksandrs Risk capital allocation problems have been widely discussed in the academic literature. We consider a company with multiple subunits having individual portfolios. Hence, when portfolios of subunits are merged, a diversification benefit arises: the risk of the company as a whole is smaller than...... the sum of the risks of the individual sub-units. The question is how to allocate the risk capital of the company among the subunits in a fair way. In this paper we propose to use the Lorenz set as an allocation method. We show that the Lorenz set is operational and coherent. Moreover, we propose a set...... of new axioms related directly to the problem of risk capital allocation and show that the Lorenz set satisfies these new axioms in contrast to other well-known coherent methods. Finally, we discuss how to deal with non-uniqueness of the Lorenz set.... 3.

I identify five forms of capitalism: among the rich countries, the liberal democratic or Anglo-Saxon model, the social or European model, and the endogenous social integration or Japanese model; among developing countries, I distinguish the Asian developmental model from the liberal-dependent model that characterizes most other developing countries, including Brazil. 6. Capital Requirements and Banks' Leniency DEFF Research Database (Denmark) Dietrich, J. Kimball; Wihlborg, Clas 2003-01-01 We investigate the effect of changes in capital regulation on the strictness(leniency) of loan terms using a simple model of bank capital requirements andasset quality examinations. Banks offer different levels of `leniency' in the senseof willingness to offer automatic extensions of loans...... rates. As capital requirements increase thedifference between initial capital levels and between interest rates of strict andlenient banks decrease. Thus, higher capital requirements in recessions tend toreduce the interest rate premium paid for leniency. If a recession is interpreted asan increase...... in the required return, the interest rate premium paid for leniency isincreased in recession at a given level of required capital.... 7. From political capitalism to clientelist capitalism? The case of Croatia OpenAIRE Vladimir Cvijanovic; Denis Redzepagic 2011-01-01 The paper analyses the typology of capitalism in Croatia. The Croatian form of capitalism is specific, in form and origin, with links between the pre-independence and post-independence periods, implying that capitalism has gradually evolved – from the political during the eighties towards current clientelistic capitalism. The manufacturing focus aims to facilitate the analysis of institutional, political and economic changes over the past forty years, emphasising the implications of instituti... 8.

Inequalities in health status among rural residents: EQ-5D findings from household survey China. Science.gov (United States) Li, Haitao; Wei, Xiaolin; Ma, Aixia; Chung, Roger Y 2014-05-19 This study analyzed inequalities in health status among different socioeconomic and demographic rural residents covered by the New Rural Cooperative Medical System in China. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Lian Yungang City, China. A total of 337 respondents, who were selected by using a multistage stratified systematic random sampling method, completed the surveys. A questionnaire consisting of EQ-5D and demographic and socioeconomic information was adopted for data collection, and was administered by face-to-face interviews. Multiple regression models were employed to examine the differences in the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score and the EQ-5D dimensions. Compared with those with lower education attainment, the respondents with higher education levels tended to report a higher VAS score (β = 2.666, 95% CI: 0.978 to 6.310), and were less likely to suffer from pain/discomfort (OR = 3.968; 95% CI: 1.447 to 10.880). The singles were more likely than the married to report moderate or extreme problems in usual activities (OR = 4.583; 95% CI: 1.188 to 17.676) and mobility (OR = 10.666; 95% CI: 2.464 to 6.171). However, no statistically significant differences were identified between the respondents with different income levels in the VAS score and EQ-5D dimensions. This study suggests that the singles and the people with lower education levels are high-risk groups for poorer health status in the Chinese rural population. The findings from this study warrant further investigation. 10. Cooperative social capital Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Oscar Acera Manero 2005-12-01 Full Text Available Social capital consists of the contributions of members and associates, both mandatory and voluntary. From an accounting point of view, it is a liability figure that expresses the value of a portion of the equity of the cooperative. Its inclusion in the liability is not the fact that it is a debt but by its nature unenforceable. 11.

Guide to data preparation for EQ3/6 (Wolery) modified for the IBM 3033 International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Noy, D.J. 1981-11-01 The ability to predict mineral-fluid equilibria is an important aspect of geochemical research into radioactive waste disposal. The interaction of ground waters and waste leachates with the host rock of a disposal site, either at elevated or ambient temperatures, will influence the performance of the disposal system. The EQ3/6 package (Wolery, 1979) provides a technique for the prediction of such interactions using available thermodynamic data, and for extrapolating laboratory experimental data on rock-fluid equilibria. This report describes the modifications performed on this package to allow operation on an IBM machine, and is intended as a guide to data preparation for the programmes. (author) 9. How venture capital works. Science.gov (United States) Zider, B 1998-01-01 The popular mythology surrounding the U.S. venture-capital industry derives from a previous era. Venture capitalists who nurtured the computer industry in its infancy were legendary both for their risk taking and for their hands-on operating experience. But today things are different, and separating the myths from the realities is crucial to understanding this important piece of the U.S. economy. Today's venture capitalists are more like conservative bankers than the risk takers of days past. They have carved out a specialized niche in the capital markets, filling a void that other institutions cannot serve. They are the linch-pins in an efficient system for meeting the needs of institutional investors looking for high returns, of entrepreneurs seeking funding, and of investment bankers looking for companies to sell. Venture capitalists must earn a consistently superior return on investments in inherently risky businesses. The myth is that they do so by investing in good ideas and good plans. In reality, they invest in good industries--that is, industries that are more competitively forgiving than the market as a whole. And they structure their deals in a way that minimizes their risk and maximizes their returns. Although many entrepreneurs expect venture capitalists to provide them with sage guidance as well as capital, that expectation is unrealistic. Given a typical portfolio of ten companies and a 2,000-hour work year, a venture capital partner spends on average less than two hours per week on any given company. In addition to analyzing the current venture-capital system, the author offers practical advice to entrepreneurs thinking about venture funding. 10. Containment Response Analysis for Equipment Qualification of Kori Nuclear Power Plant Unit 3 and 4 Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) Byun, Choong Sup; Song, Dong Soo; Hwang, Yong Jun [Korea Electric Power Research Institute, Taejon (Korea, Republic of); Seo, Kwi Hyun; Song, Wan Jung [ENERGEO Inc., Sungnam (Korea, Republic of) 2006-07-01 Equipment that is used to perform a necessary safety function must be capable of maintaining functional operability under all service condition postulated to occur during the installed life for the time it is required. The pressure and temperature analyses for loss of coolant accident and main steam line break accident provide the bounding test envelope inside containment for the operability evaluation of safety equipment in harsh environmental.

Capitalism: A System of Conspiracy OpenAIRE Das, Subhendu 2010-01-01 There are some myths about American capitalism. Some of them are (1) Capitalism made America the richest nation, (2) Capitalism is based on self interest, and (3) America has democracy. We show that the survival of capitalism is based on several powerful conspiracy theories. We briefly describe these conspiracies. Our analysis is based on the following principles: (a) Laws of conservation, (b) System theoretic concepts, and (c) The global space time (GST) environment. Using these princip... 12. Macroeconomic Conditions and Capital Raising OpenAIRE Isil Erel; Brandon Julio; Woojin Kim; Michael S. Weisbach 2011-01-01 Do macroeconomic conditions affect firms' abilities to raise capital? If so, how do they affect the manner in which the capital is raised? We address these questions using a large sample of publicly-traded debt issues, seasoned equity offers, bank loans and private placements of equity and debt. Our results suggest that a borrower's credit quality significantly affects its ability to raise capital during macroeconomic downturns. For noninvestment-grade borrowers, capital raising tends to be p... 13. Capital Requirements and Credit Rationing OpenAIRE Itai Agur 2010-01-01 This paper analyzes the trade-off between financial stability and credit rationing that arises when increasing capital requirements. It extends the Stiglitz-Weiss model of credit rationing to allow for bank default. Bank capital structure then matters for lending incentives. With default and rationing endogenous, optimal capital requirements can be analyzed. Introducing bank financiers, the paper also shows that uninsured funding raises the sensitivity of rationing to capital requirements. In... 14. Does Venture Capital Spur Innovation? OpenAIRE Samuel Kortum; Josh Lerner 1998-01-01 While policymakers often assume venture capital has a profound impact on innovation, that premise has not been evaluated systematically. We address this omission by examining the influence of venture capital on patented inventions in the United States across twenty industries over three decades. We address concerns about causality in several ways, including exploiting a 1979 policy shift that spurred venture capital fundraising. We find that the amount of venture capital activity in an indust... 15. Intellectual Capital: Comparison and Contrast.

Science.gov (United States) Ohashi, Yuki; Taguchi, Atsuko; Omori, Junko; Ozaki, Akiko 2017-07-01 Harnessing community assets may help public health nurses address health inequalities. Cultural factor is one such asset, which is assumed to be capital in a community. Cultural capital is a key concept for understanding the causes of public health issues. This paper provided an in-depth analysis of "cultural capital" as a concept. Rodgers' evolutionary methodology was used for concept analysis. Forty-two studies published in English between 1998 and 2015 were retrieved from MEDLINE by searching for "cultural capital" in the title field. Antecedents of cultural capital included "educational environment," "belongingness in one's social group," "existing health/social inequalities," and "daily behavior." Cultural capital's identified attributes were "social cultivation," "reproductive rubric," "practical knowledge," and "autogenic ability." Cultural capital's consequences were "improving productivity," "reducing health/social inequality," and "enhancing well-being." Cultural capital is defined as capital characterized by cultivation, rubric, knowledge, and ability. These aspects of cultural capital are typically autogenic, and accumulate and reproduce through lifelong community membership. Cultural capital reduces inequality and ultimately enhances the well-being of individuals and the community through bonding, bridging, and linking economic and social capital. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 20.

EQ3/6 geochemical modeling task plan for Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations (NNWSI) Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) Isherwood, D.; Wolery, T. 1984-04-10 This task plan outlines work needed to upgrade the EQ3/6 geochemical code and expand the supporting data bases to allow the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations (NNWSI) to model chemical processes important to the storage of nuclear waste in a tuff repository in the unsaturated zone. The plan covers the fiscal years 1984 to 1988. The scope of work includes the development of sub-models in the EQ3/6 code package for studying the effects of sorption, precipitation kinetics, redox disequilibrium, and radiolysis on radionuclide speciation and solubility. The work also includes a glass/water interactions model and a geochemical flow model which will allow us to study waste form leaching and reactions involving the waste package. A special emphasis is placed on verification of new capabilities as they are developed and code documentation to meet NRC requirements. Data base expansion includes the addition of elements and associated aqueous species and solid phases that are specific to nuclear waste (e.g., actinides and fission products) and the upgrading and documentation of the thermodynamic data for other species of interest. 5. A social preference valuations set for EQ-5D health states in Flanders, Belgium. Science.gov (United States) Cleemput, Irina 2010-04-01 This study aimed at deriving a preference valuation set for EQ-5D health states from the general Flemish public in Belgium. A EuroQol valuation instrument with 16 health states to be valued on a visual analogue scale was sent to a random sample of 2,754 adults. The initial response rate was 35%. Eventually, 548 (20%) respondents provided useable valuations for modeling. Valuations for 245 health states were modeled using a random effects model. The selection of the model was based on two criteria: health state valuations must be consistent, and the difference with the directly observed valuations must be small. A model including a value decrement if any health dimension of the EQ-5D is on the worst level was selected to construct the social health state valuation set. A comparison with health state valuations from other countries showed similarities, especially with those from New Zealand. The use of a single preference valuation set across different health economic evaluations within a country is highly preferable to increase their usability for policy makers. This study contributes to the standardization of outcome measurement in economic evaluations in Belgium. 6. An Australian discrete choice experiment to value eq-5d health states. Science.gov (United States) Viney, Rosalie; Norman, Richard; Brazier, John; Cronin, Paula; King, Madeleine T; Ratcliffe, Julie; Street, Deborah 2014-06-01 Conventionally, generic quality-of-life health states, defined within multi-attribute utility instruments, have been valued using a Standard Gamble or a Time Trade-Off. Both are grounded in expected utility theory but impose strong assumptions about the form of the utility function. Preference elicitation tasks for both are complicated, limiting the number of health states that each respondent can value and, therefore, that can be valued overall. The usual approach has been to value a set of the possible health states and impute values for the remainder. Discrete Choice Experiments (DCEs) offer an attractive alternative, allowing investigation of more flexible specifications of the utility function and greater coverage of the response surface. We designed a DCE to obtain values for EQ-5D health states and implemented it in an Australia-representative online panel (n = 1,031). A range of specifications investigating non-linear preferences with respect to time and interactions between EQ-5D levels were estimated using a random-effects probit model. The results provide empirical support for a flexible utility function, including at least some two-factor interactions. We then constructed a preference index such that full health and death were valued at 1 and 0, respectively, to provide a DCE-based algorithm for Australian cost-utility analyses.

A qualitative examination of the content validity of the EQ-5D-5L in patients with type 2 diabetes. Science.gov (United States) Matza, Louis S; Boye, Kristina S; Stewart, Katie D; Curtis, Bradley H; Reaney, Matthew; Landrian, Amanda S 2015-12-01 The EQ-5D is frequently used to derive utilities for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Despite widely available quantitative psychometric data on the EQ-5D, little is known about content validity in this population. Thus, the purpose of this qualitative study was to examine content validity of the EQ-5D in patients with T2D. Patients with T2D in the UK completed concept elicitation interviews, followed by administration of the EQ-5D-5L and cognitive interviewing focused on the instrument's relevance, clarity, and comprehensiveness. A total of 25 participants completed interviews (52.0 % male; mean age = 53.5 years). Approximately half (52 %) reported that the EQ-5D-5L was relevant to their experience with T2D. When asked if each individual item was relevant to their experience with T2D, responses varied widely (24.0 % said the self-care item was relevant; 68.0 % said the anxiety/depression item was relevant). Participants frequently said items were not relevant to themselves, but could be relevant to patients with more severe diabetes. Most participants (92.0 %) reported that T2D and/or its treatment/monitoring requirements had an impact on their quality of life that was not captured by the EQ-5D-5L. Common missing concepts included food awareness/restriction (n = 13, 52.0 %); activities (n = 11, 44.0 %); emotional functioning other than depression/anxiety (n = 8, 32.0 %); and social/relationship functioning (n = 8, 32.0 %). The results highlight strengths and potential limitations of the EQ-5D-5L, including missing content that could be important for some patients with T2D. Suggestions for addressing limitations are provided. 10. Cross-cultural measurement equivalence of the EQ-5D-5L items for English-speaking Asians in Singapore. Science.gov (United States) Luo, N; Wang, Y; How, C H; Wong, K Y; Shen, L; Tay, E G; Thumboo, J; Herdman, M 2015-06-01 To investigate how the response labels of the 5-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L) items are interpreted and used by English-speaking Chinese and non-Chinese Singaporeans, as a means to assessing whether those items are cross-culturally equivalent health-status measures in this Asian population. In face-to-face interviews, Chinese, Malay and Indian visitors to a primary care institution in Singapore were asked to rate the relative severity conveyed by EQ-5D-5L response labels, each containing the keyword of 'no(t),' 'slight(ly),' 'moderate(ly),' 'severe(ly),' or 'unable'/'extreme(ly),' using a 0-100 numerical rating scale. Participants were also asked to describe 25 hypothetical health states using the EQ-5D-5L response labels. Differences between Chinese and Malay/Indian participants in label interpretation and selection were examined using multivariate regression analysis to adjust for participant characteristics. The differences in adjusted mean severity scores for individual EQ-5D-5L labels between Chinese (n = 148) and non-Chinese (Malay: n = 53; Indian: n = 56) participants ranged from 0.0 to 9.0. The relative severity of the labels to the participants supported the ordinality of the EQ-5D-5L response labels and was similar across ethnic groups. Chinese and non-Chinese participants selected similar response labels to describe each hypothetical health state, with the adjusted odds ratios of selecting any type of the five response labels for non-Chinese versus Chinese participants ranging from 0.92 to 1.15 (p > 0.05 for all). The EQ-5D-5L items are likely to generate equivalent health outcomes between English-speaking Chinese and non-Chinese Singaporeans. 11. Econometric modelling of multiple self-reports of health states: The switch from EQ-5D-3L to EQ-5D-5L in evaluating drug therapies for rheumatoid arthritis. Science.gov (United States) Hernández-Alava, Mónica; Pudney, Stephen 2017-09-01 EQ-5D is used in cost-effectiveness studies underlying many important health policy decisions. It comprises a survey instrument describing health states across five domains, and a system of utility values for each state. The original 3-level version of EQ-5D is being replaced with a more sensitive 5-level version but the consequences of this change are uncertain. We develop a multi-equation ordinal response model incorporating a copula specification with normal mixture marginals to analyse joint responses to EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L in a survey of people with rheumatic disease, and use it to generate mappings between the alternative descriptive systems. We revisit a major cost-effectiveness study of drug therapies for rheumatoid arthritis, mapping the original EQ-5D-3L measure onto a 5L valuation basis. Working within a comprehensive, flexible econometric framework, we find that use of simpler restricted specifications can make very large changes to cost-effectiveness estimates with serious implications for decision-making.

Leveraging organisational cultural capital Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) R Scheel 2007-10-01 Full Text Available Organisational culture discourse mandates a linear approach of diagnosis, measurement and gap analysis as standard practice in relation to most culture change initiatives. Therefore, a problem solving framework geared toward “fixing�? and/or realigning an organisation’s culture is usually prescribed. The traditional problem solving model seeks to identify gaps between current and desired organisational cultural states, inhibiting the discovery of an organisation’s unique values and strengths, namely its cultural capital. In pursuit of discovering and leveraging organisational cultural capital, a descriptive case study is used to show how an Appreciative Inquiry process can rejuvenate the spirit of an organisation as a system-wide inquiry mobilises a workforce toward a shared vision. 14. Managing soil natural capital DEFF Research Database (Denmark) Cong, Ronggang; Termansen, Mette; Brady, Mark 2017-01-01 Farmers are exposed to substantial weather and market related risks. Rational farmers seek to avoid large losses. Future climate change and energy price fluctuations therefore make adaptating to increased risks particularly important for them. Managing soil natural capital—the capacity of the soil...... to generate ecosystem services of benefit to farmers—has been proven to generate the double dividend: increasing farm profit and reducing associated risk. In this paper we explore whether managing soil natural capital has a third dividend: reducing the downside risk (increasing the positive skewness of profit......). This we refer to as the prudence effect which can be viewed as an adaptation strategy for dealing with future uncertainties through more prudent management of soil natural capital. We do this by developing a dynamic stochastic portfolio model to optimize the stock of soil natural capital—as indicated... 15. 78 FR 62417 - Regulatory Capital Rules: Regulatory Capital, Implementation of Basel III, Capital Adequacy...

Understanding the relationship between the EQ-5D, SF-6D, HAQ and disease activity in inflammatory arthritis. LENUS (Irish Health Repository) Adams, Roisin 2012-02-01 BACKGROUND: The growth of economic analyses and in particular cost-utility analyses (CUA), which use the QALY as a measure of outcome, has heightened the interest in the methodologies used to calculate the QALY. The EQ-5D has produced quite different utility values from that of the SF-6D. This article seeks to understand these differences using a cohort of patients with inflammatory arthritis. OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between the disease-specific measure, Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) disability index (DI) and the preference-based measures, SF-6D, EQ-5D and European League Against Arthritis (EULAR) Disease Activity Score (DAS) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). METHODS: Patients with RA and PsA (n = 504) attending a tertiary rheumatology referral centre completed the HAQ, SF-6D and the EQ-5D before starting biological therapy and again 12 months later. The SF-36 was converted into a utility using the preference-based SF-6D. Clinical outcomes such as the DAS, joint counts and laboratory measures were also recorded. We calculated single index utility scores from the preference-based instruments using UK population norms. We used regression analysis to derive a mapping function and calculated utility scores from the HAQDI and the DAS 28. RESULTS: The mean utility observed at baseline for RA was 0.43 for the EQ-5D and 0.54 for the SF-6D and for PsA was 0.49 for the EQ-5D and 0.57 for the SF-6D. The utility gain demonstrated by the EQ-5D was over twice that of the SF-6D. The EQ-5D scored 17% of the RA group as less than 0 (state defined as worse than death); 7% of this group remained less than 0 at follow-up. The distribution of the utility estimates was similar for both RA and PsA. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings draw attention to the impact of states worse than death on the overall distribution for the EQ-5D derived utilities and how these impact on its use in practice. EQ-5D-derived QALY changes are over twice 20. Discrete-continuous analysis of optimal equipment replacement OpenAIRE YATSENKO, Yuri; HRITONENKO, Natali 2008-01-01 In Operations Research, the equipment replacement process is usually modeled in discrete time. The optimal replacement strategies are found from discrete (or integer) programming problems, well known for their analytic and computational complexity. An alternative approach is represented by continuous-time vintage capital models that explicitly involve the equipment lifetime and are described by nonlinear integral equations. Then the optimal replacement is determined via the opt... 1. Energy efficiency and CO{sub 2} -eq emissions of forest chip supply chains in Finland 2020 Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) Kariniemi, A.; Kaerhae, K. (Metsaeteho Oy, Helsinki (Finland)), Email: [email protected], Email: [email protected] 2009-07-01 The research carried out by Metsaeteho Oy calculated what would be the total fuel consumption and CO{sub 2}-eq emissions of forest chip production if the use of forest chips is 24 TWhin 2020 in Finland in accordance with the target set of Long-term Climate and Energy Strategy. CO{sub 2}-eq emissions were determined with Metsaeteho OY's updated Emissions Calculation Model. If the production and consumption of forest chips in Finland are 24 TWh in 2020, then the total CO{sub 2}-eq emissions would be around 245000 tonnes. The volume of diesel consumption was 79 million litres and petrol 1,5 millions litres. Electric rail transportation and chipping at the mill site consumed 15 GWh of electricity. The supply chain with the lowest CO{sub 2}-eq emissions was logging residues comminuted at plant. Conversely, the highest CO{sub 2}-eq emissions came from stump wood when operating with terminal comminuting. Some 3% of the energy content was consumed during the forest chip production. Energy input/output ratio in the total volume was 0.030 MWh/MWh which varied from 0.022 to 0.044 between the supply systems researched. Hence, forest chip production gave a net of some 97% of the energy content delivered at the plant. (orig.) 2. Quality of Life Evaluation of Cervical Cancer Inpatients Before and After Chemotherapy by Using the EQ-5D Questionnaire Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Suwendar 2017-03-01 Full Text Available The quality of life is one of success parameters of the treatment effort including chemotherapy in cancer patients. Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy may experience changes in their quality of life. This study aimed to assess the quality of life of patients with cervical cancer in Indonesia using the EQ‑5D questionnaire pre and post-chemotherapy. The research was an analitycal non-experimental study according to the patient’s perspective using prospective data collection techniques. The research subjects were the patients who suffered from cervical cancer who were hospitalized in class 3 and fullfilled the inclusive requirement. The research was conducted in Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung general hospital, from June until December 2015. The study was conducted by the EQ-5D questionnaire. Futhermore, the percentage of the patients’ problems, EQ-5D index (utility and EQ-5D VAS were calculated. Utility and EQ-5D values was analysed statistically using Wilcoxon test (α=5% to determine if there were significant condition changes before and after chemotherapy. The results showed that after the first cycle of chemotherapy, the percentage of patients reporting problem is related to ability to walk/move and the usual activities problem increased, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression problem decreased, while the self‑care problem did not change. After the first cycle of chemotherapy, the utility and EQ-5D values increased and showed significant improvement (T count value=2.0 and 4.5 respectively in patients with stage I. 3. Sources of Regional Banks Capitalization Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Olga Sergeevna Miroshnichenko 2018-03-01 Full Text Available Searching of sources to increase the capitalization of Russian banks is an important economic problem for both the national and regional economy. Moreover, a strong capital base allows to credit institutions to meet the demands of economic agents for banking service. The research focuses on the choice of sources of regulatory capital for the banks of Tyumen region in the context of changing supervisory requirements in the period of 2005–2016, in different phases of the business cycle. We apply econometric methods of statistical information using IBM SPSS Statistics software. We have calculated the individual correlations of regional banks’ capital with gross domestic product (GDP (excluding gross regional product (GRP and GRP (with the exception of the effect of GDP. These calculations have shown that the capital of regional banks is related only to GDP. The increase in the capital of regional banks is accompanied by a change in its structure: the share of authorized capital has halved, and the share of subordinated debt has grown. All sources of capital, other than the reserve fund, are related to GDP. Authorized capital is associated with the profit of profitable lending institutions; retained earnings in the capital of regional banks — with the aggregated amount of risks of the banking system of the Russian Federation. Subordinated debt, like capital as a whole, is negatively affected by the profitability of the banking sector. The change in the capital of regional banks is determined by the change in retained earnings, subordinated debt and reserve fund. Modelling of these relations has allowed to obtain a system of equations. This system synthesizes linear regression models of changing the capital of regional banks in the context of their sourcing. The results of this study are significant for theoretical justification and practical development of a balanced financial policy of regional banks. Our research will contribute to 4.

Urban Community Gardening and Social Capital DEFF Research Database (Denmark) Christensen, Søren 2017-01-01 There is a continuing debate regarding urban community gardening’s benefits to local communities, and a particularly interesting branch of this debate has focused on community gardens capacity to encourage and facilitate social interaction, which may generate social capital. Social capital...... is an increasingly important concept in international research and measures of social capital have been associated with various measures of health. In a meta-analysis of literature published between 2000 and 2016 regarding community gardens’ social advantages, through the lens of the concept of social capital......, it is demonstrated that several studies substantiate that urban community gardens create social capital, both bonding and bridging, and exhibit indications of linking. It is moreover identified how there is much to be learned from future research, illuminating how urban community gardens can foster social capital... 9. Rethinking the economics of capital mobility and capital controls Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Thomas I. Palley 2009-09-01 Full Text Available This paper reexamines the issue of international financial capital mobility, which is today's economic orthodoxy. Discussion is often framed in terms of the impossible trinity. That framing distorts discussion by representing capital mobility as having equal significance with sovereign monetary policy and control over exchange rates. It also distorts discussion by ignoring possibilities for coordinated monetary policy and exchange rates, and for managed capital flows. The case for capital mobility rests on neo-classical economic efficiency arguments and neo-liberal political arguments. The case against capital mobility is based on Keynesian macroeconomic inefficiency arguments, neo-Walrasian market failure arguments, and neo-Marxian arguments regarding distortion of the social structure of accumulation. Close examination shows the case for capital mobility to be extremely flimsy, pointing to the ideological dimension behind today's policy orthodoxy. 10. A Typology of Social Capital and Associated Network Measures OpenAIRE Jackson, Matthew O. 2017-01-01 I provide a typology of social capital, breaking it down into seven more fundamental forms of capital: information capital, brokerage capital, coordination and leadership capital, bridging capital, favor capital, reputation capital, and community capital. I discuss how most of these forms of social capital can be identified using different network-based measures. 11. Improvements in the EQ-10 electrodeless Z-pinch EUV source for metrology applications Science.gov (United States) Horne, Stephen F.; Gustafson, Deborah; Partlow, Matthew J.; Besen, Matthew M.; Smith, Donald K.; Blackborow, Paul A. 2011-04-01 Now that EUV lithography systems are beginning to ship into the fabs for next generation chips it is more critical that the EUV infrastructure developments are keeping pace. Energetiq Technology has been shipping the EQ-10 Electrodeless Z-pinch™ light source since 2005. The source is currently being used for metrology, mask inspection, and resist development. These applications require especially stable performance in both power and source size. Over the last 5 years Energetiq has made many source modifications which have included better thermal management as well as high pulse rate operation6. Recently we have further increased the system power handling and electrical pulse reproducibility. The impact of these modifications on source performance will be reported. 12.

Performance Measurement of Mining Equipments by Utilizing OEE Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Sermin Elevli 2010-10-01 Full Text Available Over the past century, open pit mines have steadily increased their production rate by using larger equipments which requireintensive capital investment. Low commodity prices have forced companies to decrease their unit cost by improving productivity. Oneway to improve productivity is to utilize equipment as effectively as possible. Therefore, the accurate estimation of equipmenteffectiveness is very important so that it can be increased. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE is a well-known measurementmethod, which combines availability, performance and quality, for the evaluation of equipment effectiveness in manufacturing industry.However, there isn’t any study in literature about how to use this metric for mining equipments such as shovel, truck, drilling machineetc. This paper will discuss the application of OEE to measure effectiveness of mining equipment. It identifies causes of time losses forshovel and truck operations and introduces procedure to record time losses. The procedure to estimate OEE of shovels and trucks hasalso been presented via numerical example. 14. Energy and CO{sub 2eq} analysis of the agricultural phase in the sunflower biodiesel chain Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) Spugnoli, C.P.; Dainelli, R.; D' avino, L.; Mazzoncini, M.; Lazzeri, L. [DEISTAF Univ. degli Studi di Firenze, Firenze (Italy) 2010-07-01 The suitability of the sunflower for biodiesel production was discussed in terms of the reference values on carbon dioxide equivalents (CO{sub 2eq}) emissions for every phase of the biofuels chain as indicated in the European Union (EU) Directive on renewable energies. A life cycle analysis performed on the agricultural phase of the sunflower showed that CO{sub 2eq} emissions from the cultivation phase exceeded the EU reference value. This paper highlighted the relevance of allocation methods to spread out energy consumption and CO{sub 2eq} emissions among sunflower biodiesel and oilcake. Allocation was made according to the principles of mass content, energy content and the economic value of co-products. The CO{sub 2eq} reductions obtained with the 3 methods were approximately 60, 50 and 25 per cent, respectively when compared to a case without allocation. Since these methods did not distinguish the different functionality of co-products in relation to their real use, this study also considered the method of system expansion and allocation by substitution. The considered equivalent functions of oilcake were animal feed, coal fuel and fertilizer. The results showed that while the substitution with coal gives rise to an emission credit, the others allow only minor improvements. A sensitivity analysis emphasized the significance of fossil fuels and fertilizers on energy depletion and CO{sub 2eq} emissions. It was concluded that only a major revision of farm practices aimed at reducing the use of N-fertilizer, can allow the sunflower to be suitable for biodiesel production in central Italy, given the EU constrains for CO{sub 2eq} emissions. 15. Comparing UK, USA and Australian values for EQ-5D as a health utility measure of oral health. Science.gov (United States) Brennan, D S; Teusner, D N 2015-09-01 Using generic measures to examine outcomes of oral disorders can add additional information relating to health utility. However, different algorithms are available to generate health states. The aim was to assess UK-, US- and Australian-based algorithms for the EuroQol (EQ-5D) in relation to their discriminative and convergent validity. Methods: Data were collected from adults in Australia aged 30-61 years by mailed survey in 2009-10, including the EQ-5D and a range of self-reported oral health variables, and self-rated oral and general health. Responses were collected from n=1,093 persons (response rate 39.1%). UK-based EQ-5D estimates were lower (0.85) than the USA and Australian estimates (0.91). EQ-5D was associated (pUSA, and from 0.05 to 0.08 for the Australian-based estimates. The effect sizes (ESs) of the associations with all seven oral health variables were similar for the UK (ES=0.26 to 0.49), USA (ES=0.31 to 0.48) and Australian-based (ES=0.31 to 0.46) estimates. EQ-5D was correlated with global dental health for the UK (rho=0.29), USA (rho=0.30) and Australian-based estimates (rho=0.30), and correlations with global general health were the same (rho=0.42) for the UK, USA and Australian-based estimates. EQ-5D exhibited equivalent discriminative validity and convergent validity in relation to oral health variables for the UK, USA and Australian-based estimates. 16. Quality of life profile and psychometric properties of the EQ-5D-5L in HIV/AIDS patients Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Tran Bach 2012-11-01 Full Text Available Abstract Objectives We assessed health-related quality of life (HRQOL, its associated factors, and examined measurement properties of the EuroQol - 5 Dimensions - 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L in HIV/AIDS patients. Methods A cross-sectional multi-site survey was conducted in 1016 patients (age: 35.4 ± 7.0 years; 63.8% male in three epicenters of Vietnam. Internal consistency reliability, convergent validity, and discriminative validity of the EQ-5D-5L and a visual analogue scale (VAS were evaluated. Tobit censored regression models were used to identify predictors of HRQOL in HIV/AIDS patients. Results The mean EQ-5D-5L single index and VAS were 0.65 (95% Confidence Interval (CI = 0.63; 0.67 and 70.3 (95% CI = 69.2; 71.5. Cronbach’s alpha of five dimensions was 0.85. EQ-5D-5L has a good convergent validity with VAS (0.73. It discriminated patients at different HIV/AIDS stages, duration of ART, and CD4 cell count. Predictors of poorer HRQOL included being female, lower education level, unemployment, alcohol and drug use, CD4 Conclusion The EQ-5D-5L has good measurement properties in HIV/AIDS patients and holds potentials for monitoring ART outcomes. Integration of HRQOL measurement using EQ-5D-5L in HIV/AIDS clinical practice could be helpful for economic evaluation of HIV/AIDS interventions. 17. Canadian valuation of EQ-5D health states: preliminary value set and considerations for future valuation studies. Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Nick Bansback Full Text Available The EQ-5D is a preference based instrument which provides a description of a respondent's health status, and an empirically derived value for that health state often from a representative sample of the general population. It is commonly used to derive Quality Adjusted Life Year calculations (QALY in economic evaluations. However, values for health states have been found to differ between countries. The objective of this study was to develop a set of values for the EQ-5D health states for use in Canada.Values for 48 different EQ-5D health states were elicited using the Time Trade Off (TTO via a web survey in English. A random effect model was fitted to the data to estimate values for all 243 health states of the EQ-5D. Various model specifications were explored. Comparisons with EQ-5D values from the UK and US were made. Sensitivity analysis explored different transformations of values worse than dead, and exclusion criteria of subjects.The final model was estimated from the values of 1145 subjects with socio-demographics broadly representative of Canadian general population with the exception of Quebec. This yielded a good fit with observed TTO values, with an overall R2 of 0.403 and a mean absolute error of 0.044.A preference-weight algorithm for Canadian studies that include the EQ-5D is developed. The primary limitations regarded the representativeness of the final sample, given the language used (English only, the method of recruitment, and the difficulty in the task. Insights into potential issues for conducting valuation studies in countries as large and diverse as Canada are gained. 18. The EQ-5D (Euroqol is a valid generic instrument for measuring quality of life in patients with dyspepsia Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Goh Khean-Lee 2009-03-01 Full Text Available Abstract Background There is little information of the validity of generic instruments in measuring health-related quality of life (HRQOL in patients with dyspepsia. We aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the EQ-5D, a brief and simple instrument, in measuring HRQOL in adult patients with dyspepsia. Methods Consecutive adults with dyspepsia attending the Gastroenterology clinic in a tertiary referral center were interviewed with the EQ-5D (both English and Malay versions, the short-form Nepean Dyspepsia Index (SF-NDI, the SF-36 and Leeds Dyspepsia Questionnaire (LDQ. Known-groups and convergent construct validity were investigated by testing hypotheses at attribute and overall levels. A repeat telephone interview was conducted 2 weeks later to assess test-retest reliability. Results A total of 113 patients (mean (SD age: 53.7 (14 years; 49.5% male; 24.8% Malays, 37.2% Chinese; 70.8% functional dyspepsia were recruited. Response rate was 100% with nil missing data. Known-groups validation revealed 20/26 hypotheses fulfillment. Patients with more severe dyspepsia reported more problems with their usual activity (p = 0.07 and pain (p = 0.06 and demonstrated lower median VAS scores (60 vs 70, p = 0.002 and EQ-5D utility scores (0.72 vs 0.78, p = 0.002. Those reporting problems in various EQ-5D dimensions had significantly lower scores in relevant SF-36 and SF-NDI dimensions. The overall EQ-5D utility score also demonstrated good correlation with the SF-36 summary physical and mental scores and the SF-NDI total score. Intraclass correlation coefficient for test-retest reliability was 0.66 (95% CI = 0.55 – 0.76. Conclusion The EQ-5D is an acceptable, valid and reliable generic instrument for measuring HRQOL in adult patients with dyspepsia. 19. Electrical equipment qualification International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Farmer, W.S. 1983-01-01 Electrical equipment qualification research programs being carried out by CEA, JAERI, and Sandia Laboratories are discussed. Objectives of the program are: (1) assessment of accident simulation methods for electrical equipment qualification testing; lower coarse (2) evaluation of equipment aging and accelerated aging methods; (3) determine radiation dose spectrum to electrical equipment and assess simulation methods for qualification; (4) identify inadequacies in electrical equipment qualification procedures and standards and potential failure modes; and (5) provide data for verifying and improving standards, rules and regulatory guides 20. A Head-to-Head Comparison of UK SF-6D and Thai and UK EQ-5D-5L Value Sets in Thai Patients with Chronic Diseases. Science.gov (United States) Sakthong, Phantipa; Munpan, Wipaporn 2017-10-01 Little was known about the head-to-head comparison of psychometric properties between SF-6D and EQ-5D-5L or the different value sets of EQ-5D-5L. Therefore, this study set out to compare the psychometric properties including agreement, convergent, and known-group validity between the SF-6D and the EQ-5D-5L using the real value sets from Thailand and the UK in patients with chronic diseases. 356 adults taking a medication for at least 3 months were identified from a university hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, between July 2014 and March 2015. Agreement was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland-Altman plots. Convergent validity was evaluated using Spearman's rank correlation coefficients between SF-6D and EQ-5D-5L and EQ-VAS and SF-12v2. For known-groups validity, the Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to examine the associations between SF-6D and EQ-5D-5L and patient characteristics. Agreements between the SF-6D and the EQ-5D-5L using Thai and UK value sets were fair, with ICCs of 0.45 and 0.49, respectively. Bland-Altman plots showed that the majority of the SF-6D index scores were lower than the EQ-5D-5L index scores. Both the EQ-5D-5L value sets were more related to the EQ-VAS and physical health, while the SF-6D was more associated with mental health. Both EQ-5D-5L value sets were more sensitive than the SF-6D in discriminating patients with different levels of more known groups except for adverse drug reactions. The SF-6D and both EQ-5D-5L value sets appeared to be valid but sensitive to different outcomes in Thai patients with chronic diseases. 1. An analysis of Euroqol EQ-5D and Manchester Oxford Foot Questionnaire scores six months following podiatric surgery. Science.gov (United States) Maher, Anthony J; Kilmartin, Timothy E 2012-07-09 In the United Kingdom patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) have been adopted as a key measure of foot surgery outcomes. The intention of this study was to evaluate the responsiveness of a regional outcome measure; the Manchester Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ) and a generic measure; the EuroQol EQ-5D, in the context of day care Podiatric Surgery. A prospective audit of 375 consecutive day care surgical admissions was undertaken. All patients attending for surgery, who agreed to participate, were included. Pre operation patients completed the MOXFQ and the EQ-5D. Both questionnaires were completed again at 6 months post operation. Additional data was collected on patient demographics, surgical procedures and complications. Few complications were encountered and most patients (84%) returned for a final review 6 months post operation. Mean MOXFQ scores improved for each domain: pain; 51.7 pre-operation, reduced to 16.5 post-operation, walking; 50.2 reduced to 14.1 and social interaction; 45.7 reduced to 10.6. The minimal clinically important differences (MCID) estimates for the pain domain were exceeded by 82.6% of patients, while 74.8% exceeded the MCID for walking and 68.5% exceeded the MCID for social interaction. A small number of patients (2.9%) deteriorated across all three MOXFQ domains.The EQ-5D Index, summary of health related quality of life, improved from 0.66 pre-operation to 0.86 post operation. The EQ-5D index MCID was exceeded by 79.2% of patients. Index scores deteriorated for 1.8% of patients following surgery. Effect sizes measured following surgery were largest for the MOXFQ domains: Walking; 1.39, Pain; 1.52 and Social Interaction: 1.39. The EQ-5D index effect size was 0.83. The EQ-5D visual analogue scale (VAS) was not influenced by surgery. Both the MOXFQ and EQ-5D index (but not the VAS) appear sensitive to changes in health status at 6 months following elective foot surgery. Both instruments were particularly responsive to changes 2. Space Heating Equipment Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) Rafferty, Kevin D. 1998-01-01 The performance evaluation of space heating equipment for a geothermal application is generally considered from either of two perspectives: (a) selecting equipment for installation in new construction, or (b) evaluating the performance and retrofit requirements of an existing system. With regard to new construction, the procedure is relatively straightforward. Once the heating requirements are determined, the process need only involve the selection of appropriately sized hot water heating equipment based on the available water temperature. It is important to remember that space heating equipment for geothermal applications is the same equipment used in non-geothermal applications. What makes geothermal applications unique is that the equipment is generally applied at temperatures and flow rates that depart significantly from traditional heating system design. This chapter presents general considerations for the performance of heating equipment at non-standard temperature and flow conditions, retrofit of existing systems, and aspects of domestic hot water heating. 3.

CAPITAL HUMANO: DOS ENFOQUES Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) María Isabel Pueyo Roy 2005-01-01 Full Text Available El artículo presenta un resumen de la teoría existente sobre capital humano, considerando dos proposiciones que se complementan: la Teoría Neoclásica -educación como formación laboral o señalización al mercado de trabajo- y la Teoría Institucional o de mercados internos de trabajo. Se presenta el desarrollo de ambas teorías, los problemas que presentan y la complementariedad entre las mismas. 7. Determinants of capital structure. Science.gov (United States) McCue, M J; Ozcan, Y A 1992-01-01 This study analyzes the determinants of hospital capital structure in a new market setting that are created by the financial pressures of prospective payment and the intense price competition among hospitals. Using California data, the study found hospital system affiliation, bed size, growth rate in revenues, operating risk, and asset structure affected both short- and long-term debt borrowings. In addition, percentage of uncompensated care, profitability, and payer mix influenced short-term borrowings while market conditions and ownership affected long-term borrowings. Most significant of all is the finding that smaller hospitals tend to borrow more, possibly because they cannot generate funds internally. 8. Renewal of radiological equipment. Science.gov (United States) 2014-10-01 In this century, medical imaging is at the heart of medical practice. Besides providing fast and accurate diagnosis, advances in radiology equipment offer new and previously non-existing options for treatment guidance with quite low morbidity, resulting in the improvement of health outcomes and quality of life for the patients. Although rapid technological development created new medical imaging modalities and methods, the same progress speed resulted in accelerated technical and functional obsolescence of the same medical imaging equipment, consequently creating a need for renewal. Older equipment has a high risk of failures and breakdowns, which might cause delays in diagnosis and treatment of the patient, and safety problems both for the patient and the medical staff. The European Society of Radiology is promoting the use of up-to-date equipment, especially in the context of the EuroSafe Imaging Campaign, as the use of up-to-date equipment will improve quality and safety in medical imaging. Every healthcare institution or authority should have a plan for medical imaging equipment upgrade or renewal. This plan should look forward a minimum of 5 years, with annual updates. Teaching points • Radiological equipment has a definite life cycle span, resulting in unavoidable breakdown and decrease or loss of image quality which renders equipment useless after a certain time period.• Equipment older than 10 years is no longer state-of-the art equipment and replacement is essential. Operating costs of older equipment will be high when compared with new equipment, and sometimes maintenance will be impossible if no spare parts are available.• Older equipment has a high risk of failure and breakdown, causing delays in diagnosis and treatment of the patient and safety problems both for the patient and the medical staff.• Every healthcare institution or authority should have a plan for medical imaging equipment upgrade or replacement. This plan should look forward a 9. Social Capital in Rural Denmark DEFF Research Database (Denmark) Svendsen, G.L.; Svendsen, Gert Tinggaard 1999-01-01 What are the roots of social capital and how can it be measured and built? Social capital is considered as a new production factor which must be added to the conventional concepts of human and physical capital. Social capital is productive because it increases the level of trust in a society...... and allows more transactions to take place without third-party enforcement. Theory and lessons from empirical evidence lead to the general recommendation that any loss in social capital must be deducted from the economic gain following market forces. For example, the voluntary organization of small......-sized groups in the Danish Cooperative Dairy Movement was eliminated due to economies of scale. It may be so that an alternative way of production, taking social capital into account, could have increased economic growth further.... 10. Banks’ Capital and Liquidity Creation OpenAIRE Horváth, Roman; Seidler, Jakub; Weill, Laurent 2012-01-01 This paper examines the relation between banks’ capital and liquidity creation. This issue is of interest to determine the potential impact of higher capital requirements for banks on their liquidity creation, which may have particular importance with new Basel III reform demanding from banks higher capital. We perform Granger-causality tests in a dynamic GMM panel estimator framework on an exhaustive dataset of Czech banks from 2000 to 2010. 11. Legal capital: an outdated concept OpenAIRE John Armour 2006-01-01 This paper reviews the case for and against mandatory legal capital rules. It is argued that legal capital is no longer an appropriate means of safeguarding creditors' interests. This is most clearly the case as regards mandatory rules. Moreover, it is suggested that even an 'opt in' (or default) legal capital regime is unlikely to be a useful mechanism. However, the advent of regulatory arbitrage in European corporate law will provide a way of gathering information regarding investors' prefe... 12.

We use sectoral panel data for the USA, Japan, Australia and ten EU countries over the period 1982-2007. Our panel combines data on capital stocks, value-added and relative prices from the EU KLEMS database with measures of effective corporate tax rates from the Oxford University Centr... 13. Exploring the social capital grid DEFF Research Database (Denmark) Svendsen, Gunnar Lind Haase; Patulny, Roger 2007-01-01 The purpose of this paper is to show that numerous studies have advanced social capital research over the past decade. Most studies have accepted the theoretical distinction between bonding and bridging social capital networks. Many, however, tend to agglomerate empirical research under the one...... catch-all social capital concept, rather than classifying it according to the bonding/bridging distinction. Furthermore, most studies make little distinction on the basis of methodology, between qualitative and quantitative approaches to investigating social capital. These omissions need to be addressed.... 14. THE CAPITAL STRUCTURE OF VENTURE CAPITAL FIRMS IN INDONESIA Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Andi Buchari 2016-10-01 Full Text Available Venture capital (VC is an important fund source for small and medium enterprises (SMEs and start up, particularly to deliver its main product of equity participation. Therefore, capital structure and factors that affect it are very crucial. This study aims to analyze the capital structure of VC firms in Indonesia using econometric model of panel data regression. This study utilizes secondary data of six years period (2009-2014 monthly financial statements of 27 samples out of 58 VC firms to form 1,944 observations. The study reveals that capital structure of VC firms in Indonesia is dominated by debt/loan rather than capital with DER on average is 136.95%. In addition, the research confirms that VC firms’ capital structure is affected simultaneously by financial aspects which are asset size, profitability, liquidity, asset/investment quality, and earning asset structure. The attentions to financial aspects that affect the VC firms’ capital structure as well as other initiatives related to capital increases are necessary so that the VC firms could carry out its role effectively. 15. Life cycle assessment of capital goods in waste management systems DEFF Research Database (Denmark) Brogaard, Line Kai-Sørensen; Christensen, Thomas Højlund 2016-01-01 plant, an incinerator and a landfill site. The contribution of capital goods to the overall environmental aspects of managing the waste was significant but varied greatly depending on the technology and the impact category: Global Warming: 1-17%, Stratospheric Ozone Depletion: 2-90%, Ionising Radiation......The environmental importance of capital goods (trucks, buildings, equipment, etc.) was quantified by LCA modelling 1 tonne of waste treated in five different waste management scenarios. The scenarios involved a 240L collection bin, a 16m3 collection truck, a composting plant, an anaerobic digestion...... for treatment facilities than for the collection and transportation of waste and for the landfilling of waste. It is concluded that the environmental impacts of capital goods should always be included in the LCA modelling of waste management, unless the only impact category considered is Global Warming.... 16.

What matters most?: evidence-based findings of health dimensions affecting the societal preferences for EQ-5D health states Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Monica Viegas Andrade 2013-01-01 Full Text Available This study analyzes how different health dimensions defined by the EQ-5D-3L instrument affect average individual preferences for health states. This analysis is an important benchmark for the incorporation of health technologies as it takes into consideration Brazilian population preferences in health resource allocation decisions. The EQ-5D instrument defines health in terms of five dimensions (mobility, daily activities, self-care activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression each divided into three levels of severity. Data came from a valuation study with 3,362 literate individuals aged between 18 and 64 living in urban areas of Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The main results reveal that health utility decreases as the level of severity increases. With regard to health issues, mobility stands out as the most important EQ-5D dimension. Independently of severity levels of the other EQ-5D-3L dimensions, the highest decrements in utilities are associated with severe mobility problems. 18.

An exploration of differences between Japan and two European countries in the self-reporting and valuation of pain and discomfort on the EQ-5D. Science.gov (United States) Feng, Yan; Herdman, Mike; van Nooten, Floortje; Cleeland, Charles; Parkin, David; Ikeda, Shunya; Igarashi, Ataru; Devlin, Nancy J 2017-08-01 To investigate the systematic differences in the self-reporting and valuation of overall health and, in particular, pain/discomfort between three countries (England/UK, Japan, and Spain) on the EQ-5D. Existing datasets were used to explore differences in responses on the EQ-5D descriptive system between Japan (3L and 5L), the UK (3L), England (5L), and Spain (5L), particularly on the dimension of pain/discomfort. The role of different EQ dimensions in determining self-reported overall health scores for the EuroQol visual analog scale (EQ-VAS) was investigated using ordinary least squares regression. Time trade-off (TTO) results from Japanese and UK respondents for the EQ-5D-3L as well as Japanese and English respondents for the EQ-5D-5L were compared using t tests. For the EQ-5D-3L, a higher percentage of respondents in Japan than in the UK reported 'no pain/discomfort' (81.6 vs 67.0%, respectively); for the EQ-5D-5L, the proportions were 79.2% in Spain, 73.2% in Japan, and 63-64% in England, after adjusting for age differences in samples. The 'pain/discomfort' dimension had the largest impact on respondents' self-reported EQ-VAS only for EQ-5D-3L in Japan. Using the EQ-5D-3L, Japanese respondents were considerably less willing to trade off time to avoid pain/discomfort than the UK respondents; for example, moving from health state, 11121 (some problems with pain/discomfort) to 11131 (extreme pain/discomfort) represented a decrement of 0.65 on the observed TTO value in the UK compared with 0.15 in Japan. Using the EQ-5D-5L, Japanese respondents were also less willing to trade off time to avoid pain/discomfort than respondents in England; however, the difference in values was much smaller than that observed using EQ-5D-3L data. This study provides evidence of between-country differences in the self-reporting and valuation of health, including pain/discomfort, when using EQ-5D in general population samples. The results suggest a need for caution when comparing or 3. 47 CFR 65.304 - Capital structure.

Mapping MOS-HIV to HUI3 and EQ-5D-3L in Patients With HIV Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Vilija R. Joyce MS 2017-07-01 Full Text Available Objectives: The Medical Outcomes Study HIV Health Survey (MOS-HIV is frequently used in HIV clinical trials; however, scores generated from the MOS-HIV are not suited for cost-effectiveness analyses as they do not assign utility values to health states. Our objective was to estimate and externally validate several mapping algorithms to predict Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI3 and EQ-5D-3L utility values from the MOS-HIV. Methods: We developed and validated mapping algorithms using data from two HIV clinical trials. Data from the first trial (n = 367 formed the estimation data set for the HUI3 (4,610 observations and EQ-5D-3L (4,662 observations mapping algorithms; data from the second trial (n = 168 formed the HUI3 (1,135 observations and EQ-5D-3L (1,152 observations external validation data set. We compared ordinary least squares (OLS models of increasing complexity with the more flexible two-part, beta regression, and finite mixture models. We assessed model performance using mean absolute error (MAE and mean squared error (MSE. Results: The OLS model that used MOS-HIV dimension scores along with squared terms gave the best HUI3 predictions (mean observed 0.84; mean predicted 0.80; MAE 0.0961; the finite mixture model gave the best EQ-5D-3L predictions (mean observed 0.90; mean predicted 0.88; MAE 0.0567. All models produced higher prediction errors at the lower end of the HUI3 and EQ-5D-3L score ranges (<0.40. Conclusions: The proposed mapping algorithms can be used to predict HUI3 and EQ-5D-3L utility values from the MOS-HIV, although greater error may pose a problem in samples where a substantial proportion of patients are in poor health. These algorithms may be useful for estimating utility values from the MOS-HIV for cost-effectiveness studies when HUI3 or EQ-5D-3L data are not available. 7. A Placement Algorithm for Capital Items that Depreciate with Time International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Wweru, R.M 1999-01-01 The replacement algorithm is centred on the prediction of the replacement cost and the determination of the most economical replacement policy. For items whose efficiency depreciates over their life spans e.g. machine tools, vehicles et.c; the prediction of costs involves those factors which contribute to increase operating cost, forced idle time, increase scrap, increased repair cost etc. The alternative to increased cost of operating an aging equipment is the cost of replacing the old equipment with a new one. There is some age at which the replacement of the old equipment is more economical than continuation (of the old one) at the increased operating cost (Johnson R D, Siskin B R, 1989). This algorithm uses certain cost relationships that are vital in minimization of total costs and is focused on capital equipment that depreciates with time as opposed to items with a probabilistic life span 8.

A Phenomenology of Capital Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Christian Schmidt 2017-02-01 Full Text Available O artigo aborda a questão da metodologia que Marx utilizou em O Capital. A hipótese é que Marx utiliza a Fenomenologia do Espírito de Hegel como paradigma, em vez da Ciência da Lógica, como se acredita. O argumento discerne a fenomenologia do século 19 a partir da compreensão atual, moldada por Husserl. Além disso, eu remeto a ideia de uma fenomenologia em economia de volta ao círculo dos jovens hegelianos em torno de Proudhon. No entanto, o argumento é conclusivo apenas por um olhar mais atento ao uso que Hegel e Marx fazem dos níveis distintos de abstração dentro de suas respectivas exposições. O artigo demonstra especialmente os paralelos no início de ambos os livros e a forma como os seus autores avançam de um nível para o outro. Em contraste com as abordagens atuais que empregam a Ciência da Lógica como paradigma, eu saliento a especificidade que os objetos de investigação exibem em seus níveis particulares de abstração. Exemplos são a diferença de valores e preços de mercado e a discriminação entre capitais em geral e capital como um de muitos capitais em competição. 4. Level of agreement between patient and proxy responses to the EQ-5D health questionnaire 12 months after injury. Science.gov (United States) Gabbe, Belinda J; Lyons, Ronan A; Sutherland, Ann M; Hart, Melissa J; Cameron, Peter A 2012-04-01 Health-related quality of life represents a patient's experiences and expectations and should be collected from the patient. In trauma, collection of information from the patient can be challenging, particularly for subgroups where cognitive impairment is prevalent, increasing reliance on proxy reporting. This study assessed the agreement between patient and proxy reporting of health-related quality of life 12 months after injury. The Victorian State Trauma Registry and Victorian Orthopaedic Trauma Outcomes Registry collect EQ-5D data at 12 months after injury. Cases where data were collected from the patient and proxy were extracted. Agreement between patient and proxy responses was compared using kappa (K) coefficients for the individual EQ-5D items, and Bland-Altman plots and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests for the EQ-5D summary score and visual analog scale (VAS). Agreement between patient and proxy respondents was substantial for the mobility (K = 0.61) and personal care items (K = 0.67) and moderate for the usual activities (K = 0.50), pain/discomfort (K = 0.42), and anxiety/depression items (K = 0.47). The mean difference between proxy and patient-reported scores for the VAS (0.74, 95% confidence interval: -2.73, 4.21) and the EQ-5D summary score (-0.02, 95% confidence interval: -0.07, 0.03) was small, but the limits of agreement were wide (-34.22 to 35.71 for VAS and -0.55 to 0.51 for summary score), suggesting no systematic bias. Although proxy and patient responses for the EQ-5D VAS may differ, the differences show random variability rather than systematic bias. Group comparisons using proxy responses are unlikely to be biased, but proxy responses should be used with caution when assessing individual patient recovery. 5. Assessment of the Swedish EQ-5D experience-based value sets in a total hip replacement population. Science.gov (United States) Nemes, Szilárd; Burström, Kristina; Zethraeus, Niklas; Eneqvist, Ted; Garellick, Göran; Rolfson, Ola 2015-12-01 All patients undergoing elective total hip replacement (THR) in Sweden are asked to complete a survey, including the EQ-5D. Thus far, EQ-5D values have been presented using the UK TTO value set based on hypothetical values. Shift to the use of the recently introduced Swedish experience-based value set, derived from a representative Swedish population, is an appealing alternative. To investigate how accurate the Swedish experience-based VAS value set predicts observed EQ VAS values and to compare correlations between Swedish and UK value sets including two provisional value sets derived from the THR population. Pre- and one-year postoperative data from 56,062 THR patients from the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register were used. Agreement between the observed and the predicted EQ VAS values was assessed with correlation. Based on pre- and postoperative data, we constructed two provisional VAS value sets. Correlations between observed and calculated values using the Swedish VAS value set were moderate (r = 0.46) in preoperative data and high (r = 0.72) in postoperative data. Correlations between UK and register-based value sets were constantly lower compared to Swedish value sets. Register-based values and Swedish values were highly correlated. The Swedish value sets are more accurate in terms of representation of the Swedish THR patients than the currently used UK TTO value set. We find it feasible to use the experience-based Swedish value sets for further presentation of EQ-5D values in the Swedish THR population. 6. Design approaches to achieve competitive LMFBR capital costs International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Arnold, W.H.; Ehrman, C.S.; Sharbaugh, J.E.; Young, W.H. 1982-01-01 Through analysis of the essential functional elements of an LMFBR, numerous ways were found to simplify system design, reduce the size of components and equipment, and eliminate some components and systems. The projected capital cost per net kW of this design is competitive with that of current PWRs. RandD programs and the construction and operation of CRBRP now are needed to prove out the features of this new design 7. Social capital and localised learning DEFF Research Database (Denmark) Lorenzen, Mark 2007-01-01 This conceptual paper analyses why social capital is important for learning and economic development, how it is created and its geography. It argues that with the rise of globalisation and learning-based competition, social capital is becoming valuable because it organises markets, lowering...... business firms' costs of co-ordinating and allowing them flexibly to connect and reconnect. The paper defines social capital as a matrix of various social relations, combined with particular normative and cognitive social institutions that facilitate co-operation and reciprocity, and suggests that social...... capital is formed at spatial scales lower than the national or international, because the density of matrices of social relations increases with proximity. The paper also offers a discussion of how national and regional policies may be suited for promoting social capital.... 8. Measuring social capital: further insights. Science.gov (United States) Carrillo Álvarez, Elena; Riera Romaní, Jordi Social capital is defined as the resources available to individuals and groups through membership in social networks. However, multiple definitions, distinct dimensions and subtypes of social capital have been used to investigate and theorise about its relationship to health on different scales, creating a confusing picture. This heterogeneity makes it necessary to systematise social capital measures in order to build a stronger foundation in terms of how these associations between the different aspects of social capital and each specific health indicator develop. We aim to provide an overview of the measurement approaches used to measure social capital in its different dimensions and scales, as well as the mechanisms through which it is presumed to influence health. Understanding the mechanisms through which these relationships develop may help to refine the existing measures or to identify new, more appropriate ones. Copyright © 2016 SESPAS.

Individual social capital and survival DEFF Research Database (Denmark) Ejlskov, Linda; Mortensen, Rikke N; Overgaard, Charlotte 2014-01-01 BACKGROUND: The concept of social capital has received increasing attention as a determinant of population survival, but its significance is uncertain. We examined the importance of social capital on survival in a population study while focusing on gender differences. METHODS: We used data from...... a Danish regional health survey with a five-year follow-up period, 2007-2012 (n = 9288, 53.5% men, 46.5% women). We investigated the association between social capital and all-cause mortality, performing separate analyses on a composite measure as well as four specific dimensions of social capital while...... controlling for covariates. Analyses were performed with Cox proportional hazard models by which hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. RESULTS: For women, higher levels of social capital were associated with lower all-cause mortality regardless of age, socioeconomic status, health... 10.

Human capital strategy: talent management. Science.gov (United States) Nagra, Michael 2011-01-01 Large organizations, including the US Army Medical Department and the Army Nurse Corps, are people-based organizations. Consequently, effective and efficient management of the human capital within these organizations is a strategic goal for the leadership. Over time, the Department of Defense has used many different systems and strategies to manage people throughout their service life-cycle. The current system in use is called Human Capital Management. In the near future, the Army's human capital will be managed based on skills, knowledge, and behaviors through various measurement tools. This article elaborates the human capital management strategy within the Army Nurse Corps, which identifies, develops, and implements key talent management strategies under the umbrella of the Corps' human capital goals. The talent management strategy solutions are aligned under the Nurse Corps business strategy captured by the 2008 Army Nurse Corps Campaign Plan, and are implemented within the context of the culture and core values of the organization. 12. Evaluating the discriminatory power of EQ-5D, HUI2 and HUI3 in a US general population survey using Shannon's indices NARCIS (Netherlands) Janssen, Mathieu F.

Sand in the Wheels of Capitalism DEFF Research Database (Denmark) Bersem, Mario; Perotti, Enrico; von Thadden, Ernst-Ludwig We present a positive theory of capital market frictions that raise the cost of capital for new firms and lower the cost of capital for incumbent firms. Capital market frictions arise from a political conflict across voters who differ in two dimensions: (i) a fraction of voters owns capital......, the rest receives only lab or income; and (ii) voters have different vintages of human capital. We identify young workers as the decisive voter group, with preferences in between capitalists who favor a free capital market, and old workers, who favor restricted capital mobility. We show that capital market...... frictions do not naturally arise in a static framework, or even in a dynamic framework if capital market frictions are reversible. But if capital market frictions can be made to p ersist over time, we show that young workers favor capital market frictions as a way to smo oth income, especially if wealth... 15. Radium removal processes capital and operating cost estimates International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Kelly, F.J. 1979-09-01 An estimate of the fixed capital and operating costs for two alternative processes for the removal of dissolved Ra-226 from uranium mill effluent in Elliot Lake, Ontario is presented. Process 1 consists of barium-radium coprecipitation followed by coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation. Process 2 consists of barium-radium coprecipitation followed by gravity media filtration, sand filter backwashing and sedimentation. Cost estimates were prepared for 18 different plant configurations designed to treat 1000 and 4000 imperial gallons per minute (ig/m) of effluent, 24 hrs per day, 7 days per week and 365 days per year with several equipment options. The estimated fixed capital costs for plants equipped with gravity filters were less than those equipped with circular clarifiers. The capital costs ranged from $552,000 with a flow rate of 1000 ig/m to $2,578,000 with a flow rate of 4000 ig/m. Estimated annual operating costs, based on a plant life of 10 years, ranged from $298,000 with a flow rate of 1000 ig/m to $1,061,000 with a flow rate of 4000 ig/m 16. EQ-10 electrodeless Z-pinch EUV source for metrology applications Science.gov (United States) Gustafson, Deborah; Horne, Stephen F.; Partlow, Matthew J.; Besen, Matthew M.; Smith, Donald K.; Blackborow, Paul A. 2011-11-01 With EUV Lithography systems shipping, the requirements for highly reliable EUV sources for mask inspection and resist outgassing are becoming better defined, and more urgent. The sources needed for metrology applications are very different than that needed for lithography; brightness (not power) is the key requirement. Suppliers for HVM EUV sources have all resources working on high power and have not entered the smaller market for metrology. Energetiq Technology has been shipping the EQ-10 Electrodeless Z-pinchTM light source since 19951. The source is currently being used for metrology, mask inspection, and resist development2-4. These applications require especially stable performance in both output power and plasma size and position. Over the last 6 years Energetiq has made many source modifications which have included better thermal management to increase the brightness and power of the source. We now have introduced a new source that will meet requirements of some of the mask metrology first generation tools; this source will be reviewed. 17. Transforming EQ-5D utilities for use in cost–value analysis of health programs. Science.gov (United States) Nord, Erik; Johansen, Rune 2015-04-01 In a number of jurisdictions there is increasing interest in incorporating concerns for fairness in models for economic evaluation of health interventions. Cost–value analysis is a name for evaluations with such a broader aim. The most widely held concern for fairness is a concern for the worse off, i.e. the idea that severity of illness should count in determining priorities. In economic evaluations of improvements in health-related quality of life this concern may be taken into account by replacing conventional health state utilities with societal values for health states that are characterised by strong upper end compression and decreasing marginal value of utility gains. We review evidence on the strength of concerns for the worse off--measured at the cardinal level--in 15 articles published in peer-reviewed journals in the time period 1978–2010, with reports from altogether 20 individual studies in nine different countries. We report 116 individual observations of paired comparisons of utility improvements with different start levels. Concerns for severity show up quite strongly across countries, sample types and question framings. By means of regression analyses we fit a societal value function to the data that has the property of decreasing marginal value of utility gains. Using the central tendency in the data we present two plausible transformations of EQ-5D utilities into societal values that reflect concerns for the worse off. 18. Estenose de piloro em eqüino adulto Pyloric stenosis in a mature horse Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Ana Lúcia Miluzzi Yamada 2009-02-01 Full Text Available Neste trabalho, é descrito um caso de estenose hipertrófica de piloro diagnosticado por gastroscopia em um eqüino Quarto de Milha, de quatro anos de idade, que apresentava inapetência, emagrecimento progressivo, cólica, bruxismo e sialorréia. A gastroduodenite ulcerativa crônica e os espasmos prolongados foram as supostas causas da hipertrofia da musculatura circular do piloro, causando a estenose. O tratamento com substâncias antiulcerativas é paliativo e o acesso cirúrgico ao piloro no animal adulto é complexo, sendo o prognóstico duvidoso.A case of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis diagnosed by gastroscopy was reported in a 4-years-old Quarter Horse gelding, with signs of inappetence, chronic weight loss, colic, bruxism and sialorrhea. Gastroduodenal ulceration and spasms were supposed as causes of pyloric muscular hypertrophy and stenosis. Antiulcerative medications are merely palliative and the complex surgical approach to the site of stenosis makes the prognostic to be doubtful. 19. Criptococose pulmonar granulomatosa em um eqüino Granulomatous cryptococcal pneumonia in a horse Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Glaucia Denise Kommers 2005-08-01 Full Text Available Descreve-se um caso de pneumonia granulomatosa por Cryptococcus neoformans em um eqüino, macho, Quarto de Milha, de 8 anos de idade com história de laminite crônica por 2 anos.

An Alcian blue- and PAS-positive mucinous capsule surrounded the yeast-like structures morphologically typical of Cryptococcus neoformans. 20. Implementation of equilibrium aqueous speciation and solubility (EQ3 type) calculations into Cantera for electrolyte solutions. Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) Moffat, Harry K.; Jove-Colon, Carlos F. 2009-06-01 In this report, we summarize our work on developing a production level capability for modeling brine thermodynamic properties using the open-source code Cantera. This implementation into Cantera allows for the application of chemical thermodynamics to describe the interactions between a solid and an electrolyte solution at chemical equilibrium. The formulations to evaluate the thermodynamic properties of electrolytes are based on Pitzer's model to calculate molality-based activity coefficients using a real equation-of-state (EoS) for water. In addition, the thermodynamic properties of solutes at elevated temperature and pressures are computed using the revised Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers (HKF) EoS for ionic and neutral aqueous species. The thermodynamic data parameters for the Pitzer formulation and HKF EoS are from the thermodynamic database compilation developed for the Yucca Mountain Project (YMP) used with the computer code EQ3/6. We describe the adopted equations and their implementation within Cantera and also provide several validated examples relevant to the calculations of extensive properties of electrolyte solutions. 1. 78 FR 62017 - Regulatory Capital Rules: Regulatory Capital, Implementation of Basel III, Capital Adequacy...

Comparison of howRU and EQ-5D measures of health-related quality of life in an outpatient clinic Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Tim Benson 2013-11-01 Full Text Available This paper reports on a head-to-head study of howRU and EQ-5D on patients with cardiovascular disease. howRU is a short generic measure of health-related quality of life comprising 39 words, designed for routine use, which we compare with EQ-5D (230 words. Patients attending a clinic completed both instruments. Completed data were available for 116 patients, 51% female, mean age 56 and SD 20. howRU is shorter, has better readability statistics, a higher completion rate, a wider range of states used and a smaller ceiling effect than EQ-5D. The correlations of howRU with EQ-5D are similar to those of EQ-5D with other validated instruments. 3. Vienna: a capital transported by LPG International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Anon. 1996-01-01 For more than 30 years the Austrian capital has chosen the LPG-fuel for its public transportation systems. This choice was advised by the environmental necessity to reduce the emissions of particulates from diesel engines and by the economical will of having a competitive fuel source with respect to diesel fuel. This paper recalls first the historical evolution of Vienna's buses progressively equipped with dual-fuel engines, and since 1976 with LPG fuel engines only. Today's the LPG buses fleet represents about 80% of the Vienna Transport buses. Then, the economical (fuel consumption, investment, exploitation and maintenance costs) and environmental (particulates and CO emissions) balance-sheet of this evolution is analysed. Since 1988, the use of catalytic converters for exhaust systems has allowed a 80% reduction of NOx emissions. (J.S.) 4.

Evaluating the sensitivity of EQ-5D in a sample of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in two tertiary health care facilities in Nigeria. Science.gov (United States) Ekwunife, Obinna Ikechukwu; Ezenduka, Charles C; Uzoma, Bede Emeka 2016-01-12 The EQ-5D instrument is arguably the most well-known and commonly used generic measure of health status internationally. Although the instrument has been employed in outcomes studies of diabetes mellitus in many countries, it has not yet been used in Nigeria. This study was carried out to assess the sensitivity of the EQ-5D instrument in a sample of Nigerian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A cross-sectional study was conducted using the EQ-5D instrument to assess the self-reported quality of life of patients with T2DM attending two tertiary healthcare facilities in south eastern Nigeria consenting patients completed the questionnaire while waiting to see a doctor. A priori hypotheses were examined using multiple regression analysis to model the relationship between the dependent variables (EQ VAS and EQ-5D Index) and hypothesized independent variables. A total of 226 patients with T2DM participated in the study. The average age of participants was 57 years (standard deviation 10 years) and 61.1% were male. The EQ VAS score and EQ-5D index averaged 66.19 (standard deviation 15.42) and 0.78 (standard deviation 0.21) respectively. Number of diabetic complications, number of co-morbidities, patient's age and being educated predicted EQ VAS score by -6.76, -6.15, -0.22, and 4.51 respectively. Also, number of diabetic complications, number of co-morbidities, patient's age and being educated predicted EQ-5D index by -0.12, -0.07, -0.003, and 0.06 respectively.. Our findings indicate that the EQ-5D could adequately capture the burden of type 2 diabetes and related complications among Nigerian patients. 7. The impact of a revised EQ-5D population scoring on preference-based utility scores in an inflammatory arthritis cohort. LENUS (Irish Health Repository) Adams, Roisin 2012-02-01 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: It is well established that there are problems with the EQ-5D. This is due to the original scoring methods used and how negative time trade-off (TTO) values were treated. A revised scoring method has been published. This article applies this to an inflammatory arthritis cohort. The objective is to examine the impact of a revised scoring system for the EQ-5D (UK) TTO on the utility estimates and in the case of rheumatoid arthritis, to explore the impact of using different utility metrics on the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) results of an economic model. METHODS: A total of 504 patients with inflammatory arthritis were rescored using revised EQ-5D scoring, which uses an episodic random utility model to deal with negative TTO values. Differences in utility scores were compared and the new mapping coefficients were obtained. These were then used in an economic model to examine the impact on the ICER. RESULTS: In rheumatoid arthritis, the overall change is less for the revised EQ-5D scoring than with the original EQ-5D (TTO) but greater than the SF-6D: EQ-5D UK -0.22 (95% confidence interval [CI] -0.30 to -0.15), revised EQ-5D UK -0.16 (95% CI -0.21 to -0.10) and SF-6D -0.08 (95% CI -0.11 to -0.05). A similar trend is seen in the psoriatic arthritis group. The economic model produced different ICERs, when different utility measures were used; EQ-5D (TTO) euro42,402, SF-6D euro111,788, and revised EQ-5D (TTO) euro57,747. CONCLUSION: In the context of inflammatory arthritis, this article demonstrates that a revised scoring for EQ-5D may have a significant impact on utility estimates and on the output of the economic model. 8. Approaches to evaluation of changes in capital structure in industrial branches Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Martin Landa 2010-01-01 Full Text Available Capital structure is described as a relation between equity and debts while the mutual consequences among items of company’s assets and resources employed as well as the cost of capital are also taken into account. Both, the theory and practice, at evaluation of approaches to capital structure are focused on creation and optimization of capital structure. Relatively less frequent approach is the analysis of a state and of changes in capital structure on the level of whole business branch. But on this basis, it is possible to investigate some “average” approaches to selection of financial resources. At capital structure optimization (the proportion between equity and debts, a wide range of criteria plays a substantial role, e.g. cost of capital, risk, expected profitability, liquidity, dividend policy. These criteria have joint effect. This way, a logic question which criteria are preferred more and which criteria are preferred less appears. The article deals with the analysis of capital structure of three branches of manufacturing industry (the branch of production of plastics, the branch of production of electric equipments, the branch of production of textile in the years 2007–2009 with the special focus on development of financial structure, capital structure and on cost of capital. 9. Descentralização, universalidade e eqüidade nas reformas da saúde Decentralization, universal access, and equity in health reforms Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Hésio Cordeiro 2001-01-01 Full Text Available Este artigo contextualiza as políticas aplicadas ao campo da saúde na década de 1990 a partir de dois eixos contraditórios: o mandato da Constituição Federal de 1988 e da Lei Orgânica da Saúde (LOAS de 1990; e a onda neoliberal que influenciou as reformas de Estado em toda a América Latina. O texto detalha os percursos e os percalços do setor saúde na implantação de uma agenda de descentralização fundamentada nos princípios constitucionais de universalização, eqüidade e participação cidadã. E conclui que a reforma da saúde, tal como prevista na LOAS, está se realizando com oscilações, avanços e recuos que traduzem ambigüidades, conflitos e contradições em relação às mudanças no papel do Estado brasileiro a partir da década de 1990. Ele perdeu sua capacidade de formular e implementar políticas nacionais de desenvolvimento, centrou-se no ajuste fiscal e está permeado pelas pressões da globalização do capital.This article analyzes Brazilian policies applied to the field of health in the 1990s from two contradictory angles: the mandate of the 1988 Federal Constitution and the 1990 National Health Act (LOAS on the one hand and the neoliberal wave that influenced public sector reforms throughout Latin America on the other. The paper discusses pathways and obstacles in the health sector during the implementation of a decentralization agenda based on the constitutional principles of universal access, equity, and citizens' participation. It concludes that the health reform provided for under the National Health Act is being achieved with ups and downs that express contradictions related to changes in the role of the Brazilian public sector beginning in the 1990s. The state lost its capacity to formulate and implement national development policies, focused on fiscal adjustment, and is permeated by pressure from globalization of capital. 10. A RETROSPECTIVE OF EVALUATION MODELS ON INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Ienciu Nicoleta Maria 2011-12-01 Full Text Available In the classical theory of economics, capital is one of the three factors of production, in addition to land and labor, and refers in particular to buildings, equipment, and machinery etc., used for the production of other goods (the term physical capital is also used by the specialized literature (Bratianu and Jianu, 2006. The present study intend to bring to the forefront the main evalluation methods for intellectual capital, as proposed, supported and criticized at the same time by researchers and practitioners. The study offers response to the following research questions: Which are the advantages and disadvantages of the intellectual capital evaluation methods? And what are the main studies approaching the subject of intellectual capital evaluation at international level? The collection and analysis of intellectual capital evaluation models and the non-participative observation are the main instruments used to bring to the forefront the main international existing evaluation frameworks. The information sources representing the base for these researches are especially constituted by articles published in specialized magazines, both from accounting and economics fields, specialized works relevant to the reference field, legislative documents, official documents, press releases and other documents issued by various national and international bodies. The most representative studies bringing to the forefront the evaluation of intellectual capital are the ones elaborated by Mouritsen et al (Mouritsen et al, 2001, Manea and Gorgan (Manea and Gorgan, 2003, Tayles (Tayles, 2002, Tayles et al (Tayles et al, 2007. The presented approaches offer a general idea on the range of methods, disciplines and operational specializations existing for the evaluation of intellectual capital. Only one of them - Balanced Scorecard is largely used, while the rest of the methods remain too theoretical or too poorly developed to be universally accepted. We believe that 11. Immigrant Capital and Entrepreneurial Opportunities Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Malavika Sundararajan 2016-01-01 Full Text Available Objective: The main objective of this study is to define and operationalize the concept of immigrant capital, a key factor that differentiates immigrant from host country entrepreneurs in how they recognize and start new ventures. Research Design & Methods: A detailed analysis of contemporary immigrant entrepreneurship and opportunity recognition literature was carried out. Using grounded theory, we synthesized the outcomes from the analysis of eight Canadian and U.S. case studies of successful immigrant entrepreneurs with the key findings from the literature to define and develop a model of immigrant capital. Findings: Based on our grounded theory development process we show that the concept of immigrant capital as a distillate of human, cultural, economic and social capital that goes beyond expected opportunity recognition (OR drivers like prior knowledge and prior experience to differentiate and enhance the immigrant entrepreneur’s ability to recognize business opportunities compared to host country entrepreneurs. We found immigrant capital to be a consequence of being boundary spanners in host and home country networks. Implications & Recommendations: Understanding a unique resource like immigrant capital, will help immigrant as well as host country entrepreneurs further develop their opportunity recognition ability by bridging gaps and fulfilling the needs for both, immigrant and host country consumers. Contribution & Value Added: The main contribution is the theoretical development, identification and definition of the immigrant capital model and propositions that will articulate the factors that lead to the conceptualization and operationalization of immigrant capital. Furthermore, the immigrant capital model can serve host country entrepreneurs to develop cross-cultural networks and jump-start entrepreneurial activities in their home countries as well as learn how to expand their operations into global markets. 12. The Opportunities and Challenges of Bringing New Metrology Equipment to Market Science.gov (United States) Perloff, David S. 2005-09-01 This paper provides an overview of the economic and technological factors which are driving the demand for new metrology and inspection equipment, the challenges and opportunities facing new companies in bringing such equipment to market, and the funding environment in which new companies must raise capital to finance their efforts. Seven metrology companies and one inspection equipment company that have received first-time venture backing since 2000 are used to illustrate how these specialized businesses are launched and funded. 13. Capitalism, Socialism and Public Choice Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Adrián Osvaldo Ravier 2010-10-01 Full Text Available The essay examines Schumpeter’s understanding of the capitalist process and develops a critical analysis of his explanation of why capitalism cannot survive. Part I deals with how Schumpeter understood capitalism. Part II studies why –- from his point of view — capitalism couldn’t survive. Part III analysis why it is actually socialism, as a socio-political alternative, that is impractical and must collapse from contradictions inherent in it. Part IV presents some final reflections, presenting the public choice and the thought of James M. Buchanan, as an alternative to the pessimist Schumpeterian view. 14. Social capital in engineering education Science.gov (United States) Brown, Shane A theoretical argument is presented to suggest that engineering curriculum be designed to develop social capital. Additionally, the value of social capital in the retention of students in the College of Engineering, and the development, role, and value of social capital in an electrical engineering laboratory is evaluated. Data collected includes participant observations, informal and formal student interviews, and a researcher-designed survey. Social capital consists of interaction among individuals (networks), social rules that encourage interactions such as trust and reciprocity (norms), and the value of these networks and norms to the individual and the group. A large body of evidence suggests that social capital is valuable in terms of retention and multiple measures of academic achievement. The importance of social capital in retention was verified by students that have left engineering and those that remain, in terms of interactions with peers, teaching assistants, and engineering faculty; and a lack of sense of community in freshman engineering courses. Students that have left engineering differed in their perceptions of social capital from those that remain in their frustrations with teaching methods that encourage little discussion or opportunities to ask questions about assumptions or approaches. The open-ended nature of laboratory assignments, extensive required troubleshooting, and lack of specific directions from the teaching assistants were found to encourage the development of social capital in the laboratory setting. Degree centrality, a network measure of social capital as the number of ties an individual has within a social network, was found to be positively correlated with laboratory grade. Student perceptions of the importance of interactions with other students on success in the laboratory setting has a negative model effect on academic achievement in the laboratory. In contrast, student perceptions of the quality of interactions with 15. From political capitalism to clientelist capitalism? The case of Croatia Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Denis Redžepagić 2011-12-01 Full Text Available The paper analyses the typology of capitalism in Croatia. The Croatian form of capitalism is specific, in form and origin, with links between the pre-independence and post-independence periods, implying that capitalism has gradually evolved – from the political during the eighties towards current clientelistic capitalism. The manufacturing focus aims to facilitate the analysis of institutional, political and economic changes over the past forty years, emphasising the implications of institutional changes which have to a great extent, apart from the war of course, influenced the evolution of capitalism. The paper finds that the transition generated a number of costs, mainly generated by the state (fall in employment, manufacturing and social capital. The claim that the manufacturing industry has inherited low competitiveness neglects the necessary discussion on the role of the state in the formation of industrial policy and market actions. It is also an ex post argument for the claim that restructuring should have been implemented prior to privatisation as this would reduce negative impacts. Institutional changes led to a drastic reduction of the role of the manufacturing sector in the economy. The main finding in this paper is that the change in the interaction between the financial and the real sectors of the economy, the educational system and industrial relations system exposed the vulnerability of the current institutional environment. Despite similarities, institutional advantages of political capitalism are lost in the new type of Croatian capitalism, due to the complexity of the double transition process and the institutional or socio-economic particularities. 16. Capital market efficiency III Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Pantelić Svetlana 2015-01-01 Full Text Available In 2013 the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded to the American economists, Eugene Fama, Lars Peter Hansen and Robert Shiller. The monetarists, Fama and Hansen, from the University of Chicago, and the Neo- Keynesian, Shiller, from the Yale University, according to the Swedish Royal Academy, won this prestigious prize for their research providing mathematical and economic models to determine (irregularities in the stock value trends at the stock exchanges. With his colleagues, in the 1960s Fama established that, in the short term, it is extremely difficult to forecast stock prices, given that new information gets embedded in the prices rather quickly. Shiller, however, determined that, although it is almost impossible to predict the stock prices for a period of few days, this is not true for a period of several years. He discovered that the stock prices fluctuate much more substantially than corporation dividents, and that the relationship between prices and dividends tends to decline when high, and to grow when low. This pattern does not apply only to stocks, but also to bonds and other forms of capital. 17. Effects of Lowering Dialysate Calcium Concentration on Mineral and Bone Disorders in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients: Conversion from 3.0 mEq/L to 2.75 mEq/L. Science.gov (United States) Yamada, Shunsuke; Ueki, Kenji; Tokumoto, Masanori; Suehiro, Takaichi; Kimura, Hiroshi; Taniguchi, Masatomo; Fujimi, Satoru; Kitazono, Takanari; Tsuruya, Kazuhiko 2016-02-01 Selection of a lower dialysate calcium concentration (DCa) can reduce calcium burden and prevent vascular calcification in hemodialysis patients. However, decreased DCa can worsen mineral and bone disorders. This 1-year retrospective observational study evaluated 121 hemodialysis patients at Fukuoka Renal Clinic who underwent conversion of DCa from 3.0 mEq/L to 2.75 mEq/L. The primary outcomes were changes in serum levels of calcium, phosphate, and parathyroid hormone (PTH). The effects of baseline serum calcium and PTH levels on changes in biochemical parameters were also determined. One year after DCa conversion, mean serum calcium level decreased, while serum phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, and PTH concentrations increased. The rate of achievement of target PTH was higher in patients with lower serum PTH level at baseline, while patients with higher baseline serum PTH level tended to exceed the upper limit of the PTH target range. Patients with higher baseline serum calcium concentration showed a greater decrease in serum calcium level and a greater increase in serum PTH level at 1 year. Patients with a lower baseline serum PTH level can benefit from optimal PTH control following conversion of DCa from 3.0 mEq/L to 2.75 mEq/L. However, secondary hyperparathyroidism may be exacerbated in some patients with higher baseline serum calcium (Ca) and PTH levels. These results indicate that an individualized approach can maximize the benefits of Ca unloading after conversion to lower DCa. © 2015 International Society for Apheresis, Japanese Society for Apheresis, and Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy. 18.

Electronic equipment packaging technology CERN Document Server Ginsberg, Gerald L 1992-01-01 The last twenty years have seen major advances in the electronics industry. Perhaps the most significant aspect of these advances has been the significant role that electronic equipment plays in almost all product markets. Even though electronic equipment is used in a broad base of applications, many future applications have yet to be conceived. This versatility of electron ics has been brought about primarily by the significant advances that have been made in integrated circuit technology. The electronic product user is rarely aware of the integrated circuits within the equipment. However, the user is often very aware of the size, weight, mod ularity, maintainability, aesthetics, and human interface features of the product. In fact, these are aspects of the products that often are instrumental in deter mining its success or failure in the marketplace. Optimizing these and other product features is the primary role of Electronic Equipment Packaging Technology. As the electronics industry continues to pr... 2.

EQ-5D™-derived utility values for different levels of migraine severity from a UK sample of migraineurs Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Stafford Megan R 2012-06-01 Full Text Available Abstract Background To estimate utility values for different levels of migraine pain severity from a United Kingdom (UK sample of migraineurs. Methods One hundred and six migraineurs completed the EQ-5D to evaluate their health status for mild, moderate and severe levels of migraine pain severity for a recent migraine attack, and for current health defined as health status within seven days post-migraine attack. Statistical tests were used to evaluate differences in mean utility scores by migraine severity. Results Utility scores for each health state were significantly different from 1.0 (no problems on any EQ-5D dimension (p Conclusions Results indicate that all levels of migraine pain are associated with significantly reduced utility values. As severity worsened, utility decreased and severe migraine pain was considered a health state worse than death. Results can be used in cost-utility models examining the relative economic value of therapeutic strategies for migraine in the UK. 8.

The study investigates the impacts of three some independent variables of the corporate governance (i.e. the number of board members, the relative extent of nonexecutive to executive directors, the auditing committee. The results suggest that corporate governance had no special effect on intellectual capital in the pharmaceutical companies. Furthermore among corporate governance's variables, the first one (i.e. board size had negative impact on firms' intellectual capital and the second and the third variables had no effects on intellectual capital. 10. Organizational Capital of the Enterprise Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Vladimir Nikiforovich Belkin 2016-09-01 Full Text Available In the article, the main theoretical questions of the organizational capital of the enterprise are considered. The concept of «organizational capital of the enterprise» as a system consisting of three subsystems (organization of production, labour organization and management is introduced. It is shown that the organizational capital forms the labour relations system at the enterprise consisting of the cooperation, technological, economic, moral labour relations and the relations of workers’ responsibility. The model of cyclic evolution of crisis at the enterprise caused by shortcomings of the organizational capital is revealed. It is shown that the organizational capital is a basis for the realization of the human capital, which creates value added. A considerable attention is paid to the experience of the creation and functioning of the organizational capital at the enterprises of the Japanese corporation «Toyota». The Russian economic literature on crisis management quite often considers only the financial aspects of diagnostics, proposing the optimization of cash flows, elimination of excess stocks, transition to the medium-term budgeting and others. However, the deep reasons of crisis need to be found not only in financial streams, but also in the system of the work relationships. The shortcomings in the development of technological, cooperation, economic, moral labour relations and the relations of responsibility directly reflects the shortcomings in the development of the elements of the organizational capital as they «are adjusted» by these elements. In turn, organizational problems affect the product quality leading to the customer attrition and decrease in the enterprise’s financial performance. The lack of financial resources cause the need to save costs (first of all, on personnel, that was brightly shown by the economic crisis of 2009 that even more weakens the enterprise and system of labour relations. Finally, the 11.

Adverse Selection in Community Based Health Insurance among Informal Workers in Bangladesh: An EQ-5D Assessment Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Sayem Ahmed 2018-01-01 Full Text Available Community-based Health Insurance (CBHI schemes are recommended for providing financial risk protection to low-income informal workers in Bangladesh. We assessed the problem of adverse selection in a pilot CBHI scheme in this context. In total, 1292 (646 insured and 646 uninsured respondents were surveyed using the Bengali version of the EuroQuol-5 dimensions (EQ-5D questionnaire for assessing their health status. The EQ-5D scores were estimated using available regional tariffs. Multiple logistic regression was applied for predicting the association between health status and CBHI scheme enrolment. A higher number of insured reported problems in mobility (7.3%; p = 0.002; self-care (7.1%; p = 0.000 and pain and discomfort (7.7%; p = 0.005 than uninsured. The average EQ-5D score was significantly lower among the insured (0.704 compared to the uninsured (0.749. The regression analysis showed that those who had a problem in mobility (m 1.25–2.17; self-care (OR = 2.29; 95% CI: 1.62–3.25 and pain and discomfort (OR = 1.43; 95% CI: 1.13–1.81 were more likely to join the scheme. Individuals with higher EQ-5D scores (OR = 0.46; 95% CI: 0.31–0.69 were less likely to enroll in the scheme. Given that adverse selection was evident in the pilot CBHI scheme, there should be consideration of this problem when planning scale-up of these kind of schemes. 15. Usefulness of EQ-5D in Assessing Health Status in Primary Care Patients with Major Depressive Disorder Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Nowicki Marie-Laure 2004-05-01 Full Text Available Abstract Objectives Major depressive disorder (MDD is a prevalent psychiatric disorder associated with impaired patient functioning and reductions in health-related quality of life (HRQL. The present study describes the impact of MDD on patients' HRQL and examines preference-based health state differences by patient features and clinical characteristics. Methods 95 French primary care practitioners recruited 250 patients with a DSM-IV diagnosis of MDD for inclusion in an eight-week follow-up cohort. Patient assessments included the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS, the Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI, the Short Form-36 Item scale (SF-36, the Quality of Life Depression Scale (QLDS and the EuroQoL (EQ-5D. Results The mean EQ-5D utility at baseline was 0.33, and 8% of patients rated their health state as worse than death. There were no statistically significant differences in utilities by demographic features. Significant differences were found in mean utilities by level of disease severity assessed by CGI. The different clinical response profiles, assessed by MADRS, were also revealed by EQ-5D at endpoint: 0.85 for responders remitters, 0.72 for responders non-remitter, and 0.58 for non-responders. Even if HRQL and EQ-5D were moderately correlated, they shared only 40% of variance between baseline and endpoint. Conclusions Self-reported patient valuations for depression are important patient-reported outcomes for cost-effectiveness evaluations of new antidepressant compounds and help in further understanding patient compliance with antidepressant treatment. 16. Transmission line capital costs International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Hughes, K.R.; Brown, D.R. 1995-05-01 The displacement or deferral of conventional AC transmission line installation is a key benefit associated with several technologies being developed with the support of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Management (OEM). Previous benefits assessments conducted within OEM have been based on significantly different assumptions for the average cost per mile of AC transmission line. In response to this uncertainty, an investigation of transmission line capital cost data was initiated. The objective of this study was to develop a database for preparing preliminary estimates of transmission line costs. An extensive search of potential data sources identified databases maintained by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) and the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) as superior sources of transmission line cost data. The BPA and WAPA data were adjusted to a common basis and combined together. The composite database covers voltage levels from 13.8 to 765 W, with cost estimates for a given voltage level varying depending on conductor size, tower material type, tower frame type, and number of circuits. Reported transmission line costs vary significantly, even for a given voltage level. This can usually be explained by variation in the design factors noted above and variation in environmental and land (right-of-way) costs, which are extremely site-specific. Cost estimates prepared from the composite database were compared to cost data collected by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for investor-owned utilities from across the United States. The comparison was hampered because the only design specifications included with the FERC data were voltage level and line length. Working within this limitation, the FERC data were not found to differ significantly from the composite database. Therefore, the composite database was judged to be a reasonable proxy for estimating national average costs 17. Experience-based VAS values for EQ-5D-3L health states in a national general population health survey in China. Science.gov (United States) Sun, Sun; Chen, Jiaying; Kind, Paul; Xu, Ling; Zhang, Yaoguang; Burström, Kristina 2015-03-01 To investigate the feasibility of deriving experience-based visual analogue scale (VAS) values for EQ-5D-3L health states using national general population health survey data in China. The EQ-5D-3L was included in the National Health Services Survey (n = 120,709, aged 15-103 years) to measure health-related quality of life. The respondents reported their current health status on a VAS and completed the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire, enabling modelling of the association between the experience-based VAS values and self-reported problems on EQ-5D dimensions and severity levels. VAS values were generally negatively associated with problems reported on the EQ-5D dimensions, and the anxiety/depression dimension had the greatest impact on VAS values. A previously obtained value for dead allowed the values for all 243 EQ-5D-3L health states to be transformed to the 0-1 scale (0 = dead, 1 = full health). This study presents the feasibility of deriving an experience-based VAS values for EQ-5D-3L health states in China. The analysis of these VAS data raises more fundamental issues concerning the universal nature of the classification system and the extent to which Chinese respondents utilise the same concepts of health as defined by this classification system. 18. Quality of Life Assessment Using EuroQOL EQ-5D Questionnaire in Patients with Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis: The Relation with Symptoms and Locations Science.gov (United States) Touboul, C.; Amate, P.; Ballester, M.; Bazot, M.; Fauconnier, A.; Daraï, E. 2013-01-01 The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) of patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) using EuroQOL (EQ-5D) and its correlation with symptoms and locations of endometriotic lesions. One hundred and fifty-nine patients referred for DIE from January 2011 to April 2011 were prospectively invited to complete questionnaires evaluating symptoms associated with endometriosis as well as the EQ-5D questionnaire and health state. Patients also had locations of DIE evaluated by clinical examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). All 159 patients completed the questionnaires. Item response rate was 91.1%. The most intense symptoms were dysmenorrhea (7.1/10), painful defecation (6.3/10), and fatigue (6.0/10). Mean (SD) scores were 77 (14) for the EQ-5D questionnaire and 63.4 (21) for the health state. A relation was observed between the EQ-5D questionnaire and the presence of dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, cyclic pelvic pain, painful defecation, and diarrhea or constipation. Vaginal and rectal infiltrations were significantly associated with altered EQ-5D and health state scores. The EQ-5D questionnaire is easy to complete and well related to symptoms of DIE. Rectal and vaginal infiltrations were found to be determinant factors of altered QOL by the EQ-5D questionnaire and health state. PMID:26464845 19. Social capital and workplace bullying. Science.gov (United States) Pihl, Patricia; Albertsen, Karen; Hogh, Annie; Andersen, Lars Peter Sønderbo 2017-01-01 Workplace bullying is a serious stressor with devastating short- and long-term consequences. The concept of organizational social capital may provide insights into the interactional and communicative dynamics of the bullying process and opportunities for prevention. This study aimed to explore the association between organizational social capital and being a target or observer of workplace bullying. Based on self-reported cross-sectional data from a large representative sample of the Danish working population (n = 10.037), logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore at the individual level the associations between vertical and horizontal organizational social capital with being a target or observer of workplace bullying. In the fully adjusted models, low organizational social capital (vertical and horizontal) was associated with significantly increased odds ratios of both self-labelled (vertical: OR = 3.25; CI = 2.34-4.51; horizontal: OR = 3.17; CI = 2.41-4.18) and observed workplace bullying (vertical: OR = 2.09; CI = 1.70-2.56; horizontal: OR = 1.60; CI = 1.35-1.89), when compared with high organizational social capital. This study supports that characteristics of the psychosocial work environment are of importance in the development of workplace bullying, and provides focus on the importance of self-reported organizational social capital. 20. Interpretation and use of the 5-level EQ-5D response labels varied with survey language among Asians in Singapore. Science.gov (United States) Luo, Nan; Wang, Ye; How, Choon How; Tay, Ee Guan; Thumboo, Julian; Herdman, Michael 2015-10-01 This study aimed to investigate the comparability of the English, Chinese, and Malay versions of the 5-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L) response labels in Singapore. Visitors to a primary care institution in Singapore (n = 743) were asked to complete two exercises: (1) rating the severity of the EQ-5D-5L response labels presented in English, Chinese, or Malay using a 0-100 numeric rating scale and (2) using the labels to describe various hypothetical health problems. Label ratings and choices between language versions were compared using regression analysis. Perceived severity of the English and Chinese labels was similar. Compared with their English counterparts, the Malay label "slight(ly)" was rated as more severe (adjusted mean difference: 10.5 to 14.5) and "unable"/"extreme(ly)" as less severe (adjusted mean difference: -13.3 to -11.0) (P language versions of the instrument.

SOCIAL CAPITAL AND CIVIC PARTICIPATION Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Melike ERDOGAN 2010-07-01 Full Text Available The concept of social capital has a long intellectual history in the fie ld of social sciences. In recent years, interest of scholars from sociology, po litical science, economics and public administration is rapidly increasing. The reason for this increasing interest is that it has been aware of the importance of social capital in communities’ administrative, social, economic and political development. In this sense, the concept of social ca pital is an issue to be discussed with solution of current problems of public administration, subjects of governance, civil society, and participation. Social capital has a lot of definitions which are completely different from each other. Common point of these different definitions is that social capital is a resource at both individual and community level. We will use Robert Putnam’s defi nition about social cap ital in this paper. Putnam (1993 defines social capital as “features of social organization, such as trust, norms, and networks that can improve the efficiency of society by facilitating coordinated action”. In his book; Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of the American Community, Putnam describes declining social capital in America. He analyzes relationship between social capital and civic participation and assumes that there is a positive relationship between social capital and civic participation. The paper aims to reveal how there is a relationshi p between social capital and civic participation in Central Florida. We will use “The Central Florida Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey that is made by The Survey Research Labora tory in the Ins titute for Social and Behavior Sciences at the University of Central Florida among central Florida residents. We use notion of civic participation not only as voting but also as concern of politics, volunteering, attending a political meeting, participating in any demonstrations, protests or boycotts, cooperating to solve problems and 8. STATISTICAL MODELS OF REPRESENTING INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Andreea Feraru 2016-06-01 Full Text Available This article entitled Statistical Models of Representing Intellectual Capital approaches and analyses the concept of intellectual capital, as well as the main models which can support enterprisers/managers in evaluating and quantifying the advantages of intellectual capital. Most authors examine intellectual capital from a static perspective and focus on the development of its various evaluation models. In this chapter we surveyed the classical static models: Sveiby, Edvisson, Balanced Scorecard, as well as the canonical model of intellectual capital. Among the group of static models for evaluating organisational intellectual capital the canonical model stands out. This model enables the structuring of organisational intellectual capital in: human capital, structural capital and relational capital. Although the model is widely spread, it is a static one and can thus create a series of errors in the process of evaluation, because all the three entities mentioned above are not independent from the viewpoint of their contents, as any logic of structuring complex entities requires. 9. 12 CFR 1229.5 - Capital distributions for adequately capitalized Banks.

Equipment abnormality monitoring device International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Ando, Yasumasa 1991-01-01 When an operator hears sounds in a plantsite, the operator compares normal sounds of equipment which he previously heard and remembered with sounds he actually hears, to judge if they are normal or abnormal. According to the method, there is a worry that abnormal conditions can not be appropriately judged in a case where the number of objective equipments is increased and in a case that the sounds are changed gradually slightly. Then, the device of the present invention comprises a plurality of monitors for monitoring the operation sound of equipments, a recording/reproducing device for recording and reproducing the signals, a selection device for selecting the reproducing signals among the recorded signals, an acoustic device for converting the signals to sounds, a switching device for switching the signals to be transmitted to the acoustic device between to signals of the monitor and the recording/reproducing signals. The abnormality of the equipments can be determined easily by comparing the sounds representing the operation conditions of equipments for controlling the plant operation and the sounds recorded in their normal conditions.

Intangible Capital, Corporate Valuation and Asset Pricing OpenAIRE Danthine, Jean-Pierre; Jin, Xiangrong 2006-01-01 Recent studies have found unmeasured intangible capital to be large and important. In this paper we observe that by nature intangible capital is also very different from physical capital. We find it plausible to argue that the accumulation process for intangible capital differs significantly from the process by which physical capital accumulates. We study the implications of this hypothesis for rational firm valuation and asset pricing using a two-sector general equilibrium model. Our main fi... 13. Migration, income redistribution, and international capital mobility OpenAIRE Meckl, Jürgen 1994-01-01 This paper studies income-redistribution effects from labor migration in a small open economy under alternative assumptions on the international mobility of capital. Our principal result is that induced international capital flows dampen or may even reverse redistribution effects. However, as long as the location of capital is unaffected by migration redistribntion effects may be greater if some of the capital is foreign owned, depending on whether labor and capital are friends or enemies.

J., LLNL 1995-08-28 EQ3/6 is a software package for geochemical modeling of aqueous systems, such as water/rock or waste/water rock. It is being developed for a variety of applications in geochemical studies for the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project. The present focus is on development of capabilities to be used in studies of geochemical processes which will take place in the near-field environment and the altered zone of the potential repository. We have completed the first year of a planned two-year effort to develop capabilities for modeling boiling processes. These capabilities will interface with other existing and future modeling capabilities to provide a means of integrating the effects of various kinds of geochemical processes in complex systems. This year, the software has been modified to allow the formation of a generalized gas phase in a closed system for which the temperature and pressure are known (but not necessarily constant). The gas phase forms when its formation is thermodynamically favored; that is, when the system pressure is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the gas species as computed from their equilibrium fugacities. It disappears when this sum falls below that pressure. `Boiling` is the special case in which the gas phase which forms consists mostly of water vapor. The reverse process is then `condensation.` To support calculations of boiling and condensation, we have added a capability to calculate the fugacity coefficients of gas species in the system H{sub 2}O-CO{sub 2}-CH{sub 4}-H{sub 2},-Awe{sub 2}-N{sub 2},-H{sub 2}S-NH3. This capability at present is accurate only at relatively low pressures, but is adequate for all likely repository boiling conditions. We have also modified the software to calculate changes in enthalpy (heat) and volume functions. Next year we will be extending the boiling capability to calculate the pressure or the temperature at known enthalpy. We will also add an option for open system boiling. 16. Epochality, Global Capitalism and Ecology Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Wayne Hope 2018-05-01 Full Text Available What type of capitalism do we live in today? My answer to this question draws upon two interrelated lines of argument. Firstly, I will argue that we inhabit an epoch of global capitalism. The precursors of this kind of capitalism originated from the late nineteenth century when the development of telegraph networks, modern transport systems and world time zones provided a global template for industrialisation and Western imperialism. From about 1980 a confluence of global events and processes bought a fully-fledged global capitalism into being. These included the collapse of Fordist Keynesianism, national Keynesianism and Soviet Communism along with First, Second and Third World demarcations; the international proliferation of neo-liberal policy regimes; the growth of transnational corporations in all economic sectors; the predominance of financialisation and the reconstitution of global workforces. Secondly, I will argue that the shift from organic surface energy to underground fossil energy intertwined the time of the earth with the time of human history as nature was being instrumentalised as a resource for humanity. Understanding the capitalist relations of power involved here requires that we rethink the emergence of industrial capitalism in the historical context of a world system built upon unequal socio-ecological exchange between core and periphery. Today, global capitalism has intensified the anthropogenic feedback loops associated with CO2 emissions and climate change and universalised the organisational frameworks of profit extraction and socio-ecological destruction. I refer here to the transnational systems of fossil fuel capitalism along with their interlinkages with financialisation and advertising/commodity fetishism. From the preceding lines of argument I will briefly outline the intra-capitalist and planetary-ecological crises out of which transnational coalitions of opposition might emerge. 17. Radioactive decontamination of equipment International Nuclear Information System (INIS) 1982-03-01 After a recall of some definitions relating to decontamination techniques and of the regulation into effect, the principles to be respected to arrange rationally work zones are quoted while insisting more particularly on the types of coatings which facilitate maintenance operations and the dismantling of these installations. Then, the processes and equipments to use in decontamination units for routine or particular operations are described; the list of recommended chemical products to decontaminate the equipment is given. The influence of these treatments on the state and the duration of life of equipments is studied, and some perfectible methods are quoted. In the appendix, are given: the limits of surface contamination accepted in the centers; a standard project which defines the criteria of admissible residual contamination in wastes considered as cold wastes; some remarks on the interest that certain special ventilation and air curtain devices for the protection of operators working on apparatus generating contaminated dusts [fr 18. Equipment Operational Requirements Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) Greenwalt, B; Henderer, B; Hibbard, W; Mercer, M 2009-06-11 The Iraq Department of Border Enforcement is rich in personnel, but poor in equipment. An effective border control system must include detection, discrimination, decision, tracking and interdiction, capture, identification, and disposition. An equipment solution that addresses only a part of this will not succeed, likewise equipment by itself is not the answer without considering the personnel and how they would employ the equipment. The solution should take advantage of the existing in-place system and address all of the critical functions. The solutions are envisioned as being implemented in a phased manner, where Solution 1 is followed by Solution 2 and eventually by Solution 3. This allows adequate time for training and gaining operational experience for successively more complex equipment. Detailed descriptions of the components follow the solution descriptions. Solution 1 - This solution is based on changes to CONOPs, and does not have a technology component. It consists of observers at the forts and annexes, forward patrols along the swamp edge, in depth patrols approximately 10 kilometers inland from the swamp, and checkpoints on major roads. Solution 2 - This solution adds a ground sensor array to the Solution 1 system. Solution 3 - This solution is based around installing a radar/video camera system on each fort. It employs the CONOPS from Solution 1, but uses minimal ground sensors deployed only in areas with poor radar/video camera coverage (such as canals and streams shielded by vegetation), or by roads covered by radar but outside the range of the radar associated cameras. This document provides broad operational requirements for major equipment components along with sufficient operational details to allow the technical community to identify potential hardware candidates. Continuing analysis will develop quantities required and more detailed tactics, techniques, and procedures. 19. Remotely-operated equipment for inspection, measurement and handling CERN Document Server Bertone, C; CERN. Geneva. TS Department 2008-01-01 As part of the application of ALARA radiation dose reduction principles at CERN, inspection, measurement and handling interventions in controlled areas are being studied in detail. A number of activities which could be carried out as remote operations have already been identified and equipment is being developed. Example applications include visual inspection to check for ice formation on LHC components or water leaks, measurement of radiation levels before allowing personnel access, measurement of collimator or magnet alignment, visual inspection or measurements before fire service access in the event of fire, gas leak or oxygen deficiency. For these applications, a modular monorail train, TIM, has been developed with inspection and measurement wagons. In addition TIM provides traction, power and data communication for lifting and handling units such as the remote collimator exchange module and vision for other remotely operated units such as the TAN detector exchange mini-cranes.

Financial capital and intellectual capital in physician practice management. Science.gov (United States) Robinson, J C 1998-01-01 Medical groups need financial resources yet most retain no earnings and have no reserves. Physician practice management (PPM) companies have recognized the need for investment and the scarcity of indigenous capital in the physician sector and are rushing to fill the void. Resources are being contributed by venture capitalists, bond underwriters, private investors, pharmaceutical manufacturers, health plans, hospital systems, and public equity markets. The potential contribution of PPM firms is to nurture the intellectual capital of leading physician organizations and diffuse it throughout the health care system. The risk is that short-term financial imperatives will impede necessary long-term investments. 2. Limited Capital Market Participation and Human Capital Risk OpenAIRE Jonathan Berk; Johan Walden 2010-01-01 The non-tradability of human capital is often cited for the failure of traditional asset pricing theory to explain agents' portfolio holdings. In this paper we argue that the opposite might be true --- traditional models might not be able to explain agent portfolio holdings because they do not explicitly account for the fact that human capital does trade (in the form of labor contracts). We derive wages endogenously as part of a dynamic equilibrium in a production economy. Risk is shared in l... 3.

Lifetime of Mechanical Equipment Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) Leland, K. 1999-07-01 The gas plant at Kaarstoe was built as part of the Statpipe gas transport system and went on stream in 1985. In 1993 another line was routed from the Sleipner field to carry condensate, and the plant was extended accordingly. Today heavy additional supply- and export lines are under construction, and the plant is extended more than ever. The main role of the factory is to separate the raw gas into commercial products and to pump or ship it to the markets. The site covers a large number of well-known mechanical equipment. This presentation deals with piping, mechanical and structural disciplines. The lifetime of mechanical equipment is often difficult to predict as it depends on many factors, and the subject is complex. Mechanical equipment has been kept in-house, which provides detailed knowledge of the stages from a new to a 14 years old plant. The production regularity has always been very high, as required. The standard of the equipment is well kept, support systems are efficient, and human improvisation is extremely valuable. 8.

EQPT, a data file preprocessor for the EQ3/6 software package: User's guide and related documentation (Version 7.0) International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Daveler, S.A.; Wolery, T.J. 1992-01-01 EQPT is a data file preprocessor for the EQ3/6 software package. EQ3/6 currently contains five primary data files, called datao files. These files comprise alternative data sets. These data files contain both standard state and activity coefficient-related data. Three (com, sup, and nea) support the use of the Davies or B equations for the activity coefficients; the other two (hmw and pit) support the use of Pitzer's (1973, 1975) equations. The temperature range of the thermodynamic data on these data files varies from 25 degrees C only to 0-300 degrees C. The principal modeling codes in EQ3/6, EQ3NR and EQ6, do not read a data0 file, however. Instead, these codes read an unformatted equivalent called a data1 file. EQPT writes a datal file, using the corresponding data0 file as input. In processing a data0 file, EQPT checks the data for common errors, such as unbalanced reactions. It also conducts two kinds of data transformation. Interpolating polynomials are fit to data which are input on temperature adds. The coefficients of these polynomials are then written on the datal file in place of the original temperature grids. A second transformation pertains only to data files tied to Pitzer's equations. The commonly reported observable Pitzer coefficient parameters are mapped into a set of primitive parameters by means of a set of conventional relations. These primitive form parameters are then written onto the datal file in place of their observable counterparts. Usage of the primitive form parameters makes it easier to evaluate Pitzer's equations in EQ3NR and EQ6. EQPT and the other codes in the EQ3/6 package are written in FORTRAN 77 and have been developed to run under the UNIX operating system on computers ranging from workstations to supercomputers 15.

The time to trade-off method versus the EQ-5D index to determine health utility in patients with rheumatoid arthritis Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Dmitriy Vladimirovich Goryachev 2010-01-01 The values of the utility index calculated by TTO failed to correlate with those of HAQ and EQ-5D. The disease duration was unrelated to the values of the utility index calculated by any of the methods used. The association of TTO index was found only for VAS-GH "thermometer". Conclusion. EQ-5D index and VAS-GH are the methods of choice in determining health utility for a clinicoeconomic analysis in patients with RA. 17. Preliminary validation and principal components analysis of the Control of Eating Questionnaire (CoEQ) for the experience of food craving. Science.gov (United States) Dalton, M; Finlayson, G; Hill, A; Blundell, J 2015-12-01 The Control of Eating Questionnaire (CoEQ) comprises 21-items that are designed to assess the severity and type of food cravings an individual experiences over the previous 7 days. The CoEQ has been used in clinical trials as a multi-dimensional measure of appetite, craving and mood regulation however its underlying component structure has yet to be determined. The current paper has two aims; (1) to examine the psychometric properties, and internal consistency of the CoEQ; and (2) to provide a preliminary examination of the underlying components by exploring their construct and predictive validity. Data were pooled from four studies in which a total 215 adults (80% women; Age=29.7 ± 10.3; BMI=26.5 ± 5.2) had completed the CoEQ alongside measures of psychometric eating behaviour traits, ad libitum food intake, and body composition. A principal components analysis (PCA) and parallel analysis was conducted to examine the underlying structure of the questionnaire. The resulting subscales were tested for internal consistency (Cronbach's α=0.66-0.88). PCA revealed four components that explained 54.5% of the variance. The components were identified as: Craving Control, Positive Mood, Craving for Sweet, and Craving for Savoury. Associations between the underlying CoEQ subscales and measures of body composition and eating behaviour traits confirmed construct validity of the subscales. The associations between the subscales and snack food selection and intake of palatable snack foods supported the CoEQ's predictive validity. The CoEQ has good psychometric properties with a clear component structure and acceptable internal consistency. This preliminary validation supports the CoEQ as a measure of the experience of food cravings. 18. Validation and comparison of EuroQoL-5 dimension (EQ-5D) and Short Form-6 dimension (SF-6D) among stable angina patients OpenAIRE Wu, Jing; Han, Yuerong; Zhao, Fei-Li; Zhou, Jin; Chen, Zhijun; Sun, He 2014-01-01 Objectives Several preference-based health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instruments have been published and widely used in different populations.

EQ3/6, a software package for geochemical modeling of aqueous systems: Package overview and installation guide (Version 7.0) International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Wolery, T.J. 1992-01-01 EQ3/6 is a software package for geochemical modeling of aqueous systems. This report describes version 7.0. The major components of the package include: EQ3NR, a speciation-solubility code; EQ6, a reaction path code which models water/rock interaction or fluid mixing in either a pure reaction progress mode or a time mode; EQPT, a data file preprocessor, EQLIB, a supporting software library; and five supporting thermodynamic data files. The software deals with the concepts of thermodynamic equilibrium, thermodynamic disequilibrium, and reaction kinetics. The five supporting data files contain both standard state and activity coefficient-related data. Three support the use of the Davies or B equations for the activity coefficients; the other two support the use of Pitzer's equations. The temperature range of the thermodynamic data on the data files varies from 25 degree C only to 0--300 degree C. EQPT takes a formatted data file (a data0 file) and writes an unformatted near-equivalent called a datal file, which is actually the form read by EQ3NR and EQ6. EQ3NR is useful for analyzing groundwater chemistry data, calculating solubility limits, and determining whether certain reactions are in states of partial equilibrium or disequilibrium. It is also required to initialize an EQ6 calculation. EQ6 models the consequences of reacting an aqueous solution with a set of reactants which react irreversibly. It can also model fluid mixing and the consequences of changes in temperature. This code operates both in a pure reaction progress frame and in a time frame 20.

CAPITALISM IN ILLUSION AND DELUSION Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) DORU CÎRNU 2011-12-01 Full Text Available The current crisis seems to shake the foundations of contemporary society as a whole and generated increasingly more opinions that show the capitalist society has begun and continues to lose ground. This is because capitalism has changed something inside so deeply that eternal truths of capitalism – economic growth, full employment, financial stability – seem to have crashed like the New York twin towers. Beyond all the shortcomings, quite a lot in numbers, known and recognized, the world and those who analyze it agree that , at least so far, has not been invented a better mechanism to obstruct and retain tyranny and so it is possible to consider the evolution of capitalism only in and through democracy. 3. The measurement of social capital. Science.gov (United States) Villalonga-Olives, Ester; Kawachi, Ichiro 2015-01-01 Social capital has been defined as the resources available to individuals and groups through membership in social networks. The definition is consistent with either an individualistic approach, i.e. resources (such as information or instrumental assistance) that are accessed by individuals through their network connections; or a collective approach, e.g. the benefits accruing to members of a group - such as the ability of a community to engage in collective action - as a consequence of the existence of cohesive relationships. While research often restricts itself to a single level of analysis, the benefits (and downsides) of social capital accrue to both the individual as well as to the network to which he belongs. In the Dictionary of Epidemiology both the individual and collective levels of analysis were recognized in the definition of social capital. Copyright © 2014 SESPAS. Published by Elsevier Espana.

LINGUISTIC CAPITAL AND PERMANENT EDUCATION Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Cornelia DUMITRU 2006-06-01 Full Text Available The Europe of Knowledge means shifting to a new stage of identifying, redefining and satisfying the exigencies related to human capital. Among the basic competencies, the language ones shall play a more important role for all age groups, and all categories of jobs and professions in the economic, social and cultural fields due to the emergence of the virtual society and economy. Market internationalisation, as well as the strong outspread of English in all fields led to the emergence of the “working language” making it “strict requirement” from the perspective of the qualitative attributes of human capital. At the same time, from the viewpoint of the human capital, “English is not enough” for sustainable development at regional and international level. 6. Capital financing in prospective payment. Science.gov (United States) Oszustowicz, R J; Dreachslin, J L 1984-03-01 In the era of prospective payment, arranging financing for hospital capital projects is expected to become even more complicated than under cost-based reimbursement systems. This article outlines the information needed for a bond issue in the prospective payment environment, defines the roles and duties of several external persons and organizations involved with planning a major capital financing, and provides an overview of the entire process. This article assumes for illustrative purposes that a tax-exempt bond issue is going to be used to finance a facility expansion. This method was chosen since over 70% of all major capital financing for hospitals use the tax-exempt bond as the principal vehicle for attracting the necessary debt to finance a major construction project. The tax-exempt bond issue also requires the most detail in documentation and legal provisions. 7.

However, by examining the correlations between U.S. GDP growth rate, interest rates and regulatory capital ratios computed using Basel III regulatory capital definition for six U.S. global systemically important banks (G-SIBs) since 2007, this chapter finds that Basel III regulatory capital will enhance the... 10. LIFE Cost of Electricity, Capital and Operating Costs International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Anklam, T. 2011-01-01 Successful commercialization of fusion energy requires economic viability as well as technical and scientific feasibility. To assess economic viability, we have conducted a pre-conceptual level evaluation of LIFE economics. Unit costs are estimated from a combination of bottom-up costs estimates, working with representative vendors, and scaled results from previous studies of fission and fusion plants. An integrated process model of a LIFE power plant was developed to integrate and optimize unit costs and calculate top level metrics such as cost of electricity and power plant capital cost. The scope of this activity was the entire power plant site. Separately, a development program to deliver the required specialized equipment has been assembled. Results show that LIFE power plant cost of electricity and plant capital cost compare favorably to estimates for new-build LWR's, coal and gas - particularly if indicative costs of carbon capture and sequestration are accounted for. 11. Reaction of Topopah Spring tuff with J-13 water: a geochemical modeling approach using the EQ3/6 reaction path code Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) Delany, J.M. 1985-11-25 EQ3/6 geochemical modeling code package was used to investigate the interaction of the Topopah Spring Tuff and J-13 water at high temperatures. EQ3/6 input parameters were obtained from the results of laboratory experiments using USW G-1 core and J-13 water. Laboratory experiments were run at 150 and 250{sup 0}C for 66 days using both wafer-size and crushed tuff. EQ3/6 modeling reproduced results of the 150{sup 0}C experiments except for a small increase in the concentration of potassium that occurs in the first few days of the experiments. At 250{sup 0}C, the EQ3/6 modeling reproduced the major water/rock reactions except for a small increase in potassium, similar to that noted above, and an overall increase in aluminum. The increase in potassium concentration cannot be explained at this time, but the increase in A1 concentration is believed to be caused by the lack of thermodynamic data in the EQ3/6 data base for dachiardite, a zeolite observed as a run product at 250{sup 0}C. The ability to reproduce the majority of the experimental rock/water interactions at 150{sup 0}C validates the use of EQ3/6 as a geochemical modeling tool that can be used to theoretically investigate physical/chemical environments in support of the Waste Package Task of NNWSI. 12.

Reaping benefits from intellectual capital. Science.gov (United States) Weston, Marla J; Estrada, Nicolette A; Carrington, Jane 2007-01-01 The wealth and value of organizations are increasingly based on intellectual capital. Although acquiring talented individuals and investing in employee learning adds value to the organization, reaping the benefits of intellectual capital involves translating the wisdom of employees into reusable and sustained actions. This requires a culture that creates employee commitment, encourages learning, fosters sharing, and involves employees in decision making. An infrastructure to recognize and embed promising and best practices through social networks, evidence-based practice, customization of innovations, and use of information technology results in increased productivity, stronger financial performance, better patient outcomes, and greater employee and customer satisfaction. 14.

Science.gov (United States) Sloan, F A; Valvona, J; Hassan, M; Morrisey, M A 1988-03-01 This paper provides estimates of the cost of equity and debt capital to for-profit and non-profit hospitals in the U.S. for the years 1972-83. The cost of equity is estimated using, alternatively, the Capital Asset Pricing Model and Arbitrage Pricing Theory. We find that the cost of equity capital, using either model, substantially exceeded anticipated inflation. The cost of debt capital was much lower. Accounting for the corporate tax shield on debt and capital paybacks by cost-based insurers lowered the net cost of capital to hospitals. 18. Solubility of unirradiated UO2 fuel in aqueous solutions. Comparison between experimental and calculated (EQ3/6) data International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Ollila, K. 1995-11-01 The solubility behaviour of unirradiated UO 2 pellets was studied under oxic (air-saturated) and anoxic (N 2 ) conditions in deionized water, in sodium bicarbonate solutions with varying bicarbonate content (60 - 600 ppm), in Allard groundwater simulating granitic fresh groundwater conditions, and in bentonite water simulating the effects of bentonite on granitic fresh groundwater (25 deg C). The release of uranium was measured during static batch dissolution experiments of long duration (2-6 years). A comparison was made with the theoretical solubility data calculated with the geochemical code EQ3/6 in order to evaluate solubility (steady state) limiting factors. (orig.)

Worst-case prediction of normal operating containment temperatures for environmentally qualified equipment International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Krasnopoler, M.J.; Sundergill, J.E. 1991-01-01 Due to issues raised in NRC Information Notice No. 87-65, a southern US nuclear plant was concerned about thermal aging of environmentally qualified (EQ) equipment located in areas of elevated containment temperatures. A method to predict the worst-case monthly temperatures at various zones in the containment and calculate the qualified life using this monthly temperature was developed. Temperatures were predicted for twenty locations inside the containment. Concern about the qualified life of EQ equipment resulted from normal operating temperatures above 120F in several areas of the containment, especially during the summer. At a few locations, the temperature exceeded 140F. Also, NRC Information Notice No. 89-30 reported high containment temperatures at three other nuclear power plants. The predicted temperatures were based on a one-year containment temperature monitoring program. The monitors included permanent temperature monitors required by the Technical Specifications and temporary monitors installed specifically for this program. The temporary monitors were installed near EQ equipment in the expected worst-case areas based on design and operating experience. A semi-empirical model that combined physical and statistical models was developed. The physical model was an overall energy balance for the containment. The statistical model consists of several linear regressions that conservatively relate the monitor temperatures to the bulk containment temperature. The resulting semi-empirical model predicts the worst-case monthly service temperatures at the location of each of the containment temperature monitors. The monthly temperatures are the maximum expected because they are based on the historically worst-case atmospheric data 20.

SOCIAL CAPITAL AND ADOLESCENT GIRLS' RESILIENCE TO TEENAGE PREGNANCY IN BEGORO, GHANA. Science.gov (United States) Gyan, Sylvia Esther; Ahorlu, Collins; Dzorgbo, Dan-Bright S; Fayorsey, Clara K 2017-05-01 This study focuses on how older adolescent girls access and utilize social capital to develop resilience against teenage pregnancy in Begoro, Ghana. A survey of 419 non-pregnant girls aged 15-19 years, selected using a multi-stage cluster sampling technique, was conducted in 2012. Qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews with ten girls purposively selected from the survey respondents. Parents, relatives, teachers and religious groups were found to be important sources of social capital for the non-pregnant girls in developing resilience against teenage pregnancy. In addition, resilient girls tended to rely on multiple sources of social capital. It is recommended that stakeholders and policymakers in Ghana ensure that these significant sources of social capital in adolescent girls' sexual experience are equipped with the right information to help girls decrease the risk of teenage pregnancy. 3. Comparison of initial capital investment requirements for new domestic energy supplies: 1980 update International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Schlesinger, B.; Hay, N.E.; Wilkinson, P. 1980-01-01 A.G.A.'s update of its 1978 analysis comparing the initial capital investments required for several domestic sources of alternative energy (coal conversion, oil shale, unconventional natural gas, Alaskan gas, nuclear power, and solar energy) concludes that US energy-supply and utilization systems based on gaseous fuels need substantially less initial capital investment than do equivalent nuclear, coal, and solar electric systems or synthetic-liquids systems. The capital estimates include the costs of resource extraction, processing and conversion, transmission and distribution, and end-use equipment. The cost advantages shown for the three end-use applications compared - residential and small-commercial space heating, premium industrial usage, and large industrial boilers - reflect both the lower capital requirements and higher energy efficiencies of the gaseous systems 4. Equipment cost optimization International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Ribeiro, E.M.; Farias, M.A.; Dreyer, S.R.B. 1995-01-01 Considering the importance of the cost of material and equipment in the overall cost profile of an oil company, which in the case of Petrobras, represents approximately 23% of the total operational cost or 10% of the sales, an organization for the optimization of such costs has been established within Petrobras. Programs are developed aiming at: optimization of life-cycle cost of material and equipment; optimization of industrial processes costs through material development. This paper describes the methodology used in the management of the development programs and presents some examples of concluded and ongoing programs, which are conducted in permanent cooperation with suppliers, technical laboratories and research institutions and have been showing relevant results 5.

Building Social Capital for Internationalization Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Suzana Braga Rodrigues 2012-01-01 Full Text Available Social capital may be defined as social relationships that confer actual or potential benefits. It can therefore beunderstood as a particular type of resource. Recent research has drawn attention to how connections andrelationships (networking both at home and abroad can be crucially important for small and medium-sizedenterprises (SMEs seeking to export or invest abroad. However, relatively little is known about how SMEsinitiate, develop and maintain network relationships. This paper reports a study of 32 British SMEs exporting, orattempting to export, to Brazil and of domestic institutional agencies whose role was to facilitate businessconducted between British and Brazilian SMEs. The study explored both the functions of social capital for theSMEs and the process whereby it was developed. Its findings confirm the value of social capital in internationalentrepreneurship. It can provide information, interpretation, market opportunities, and some degree of protectionagainst the risks associated with foreignness, newness and smallness. The study also confirms the vitalimportance of personal trust in sustaining social capital between small firms. 1.

Equipment Obsolescence Management Program Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) Redmond, J. 2014-07-01 Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) Operators are challenged with securing reliable supply channels for safety related equipment due to equipment obsolescence. Many Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) have terminated production of spare parts and product life-cycle support. The average component life cycles are much shorter than the NPP design life, which means that replacement components and parts for the original NPP systems are not available for the complete design life of the NPPs. The lack or scarcity of replacement parts adversely affects plant reliability and ultimately the profitability of the affected NPPs. This problem is further compounded when NPPs pursue license renewal and approval for plant-life extension. A reliable and predictable supply of replacement co components is necessary for NPPs to remain economically competitive and meet regulatory requirements and guidelines. Electrical and I and C components, in particular, have short product life cycles and obsolescence issues must be managed pro actively and not reactively in order to mitigate the risk to the NPP to ensure reliable and economic NPP operation.

Personal protective equipment International Nuclear Information System (INIS) 2004-01-01 This Practical Radiation Technical Manual is one of a series that has been designed to provide guidance on radiological protection for employers, radiation protection officers, managers and other technically competent persons who have responsibility for ensuring the safety of employees working with ionizing radiation. The Manual may be used with the appropriate IAEA Practical Radiation Safety Manuals to provide training, instruction and information for all employees engaged in work with ionizing radiation. Personal protective equipment (PPE) includes clothing or other special equipment that is issued to individual workers to provide protection against actual or potential exposure to ionizing radiations. It is used to protect each worker against the prevailing risk of external or internal exposure in circumstances in which it is not reasonably practicable to provide complete protection by means of engineering controls or administrative methods. Adequate personal protection depends on PPE being correctly selected, fitted and maintained. Appropriate training for the users and arrangements to monitor usage are also necessary to ensure that PPE provides the intended degree of protection effectively. This Manual explains the principal types of PPE, including protective clothing and respiratory protective equipment (RPE). Examples of working procedures are also described to indicate how PPE should be used within a safe system of work. The Manual will be of most benefit if it forms part of a more comprehensive training programme or is supplemented by the advice of a qualified expert in radiation protection. Some of the RPE described in this Manual should be used under the guidance of a qualified expert 16.

Economic Analysis of Social Common Capital Science.gov (United States) Uzawa, Hirofumi 2005-06-01 Social common capital provides members of society with those services and institutional arrangements that are crucial in maintaining human and cultural life. The term Ã¦social common capital' is comprised of three categories: natural capital, social infrastructure, and institutional capital. Natural capital consists of all natural environment and natural resources including the earth's atmosphere. Social infrastructure consists of roads, bridges, public transportation systems, electricity, and other public utilities. Institutional capital includes hospitals, educational institutions, judicial and police systems, public administrative services, financial and monetary institutions, and cultural capital. This book attempts to modify and extend the theoretical premises of orthodox economic theory to make them broad enough to analyze the economic implications of social common capital. It further aims to find the institutional arrangements and policy measures that will bring about the optimal state of affairs. 19. Staged Financing in Venture capital market.

Employee Capital:Resource or Reoccurring Nightmare OpenAIRE Murphy, James Peter 2005-01-01 Employee capital need not be a reoccurring nightmare for bar owners if they create a system for managing their employee capital which deals with recruitment, placement, training and development for all hospitality staff members. 1. INVESTMENT IN HUMAN CAPITAL – PREREQUISITE FOR THE GROWTH OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) BÎRCĂ ALIC 2015-12-01 Full Text Available This paper is devoted to investment in human capital as an essential element for ensuring organizational performance. Human capital investments may be direct, more focused on professional training, as well as indirect, more oriented towards the health of employees and the purchase of equipment for their development. In Moldovan organizations investments in human capital are more oriented towards training and professional development of employees. At the same time, in the recruitment and selection of candidates’ process, organizations are trying to attract people that have a high level of professional knowledge and skills, which contribute to increasing the value of their human capital. In order to assess the involvement level of the organizations from Republic of Moldova in terms of human capital development investment, a sociological research that included 152 organizations was conducted. The result of investigations have shown us that human capital value into an organization depends, in the first instance, on the selection tools and techniques that allow election of candidates with an intellectual and professional potential at higher level. Human capital value within organizations increases provided that their staff participates in various professional training programs. 2. Capital Structure of Internet Companies: Case Study OpenAIRE Miglo, Anton; Liang, Shuting; Lee, Zhenting 2014-01-01 We analyze the financing decisions and capital structure of internet companies and relate observed findings to the common capital structure theories. Large internet companies usually have low debt and small internet companies have high debt.

However, they can compliment each other in describing some patterns of observed b... 3. Plan for integrated testing for NNWSI [Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations] non EQ3/6 data base portion International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Oversby, V.M. 1987-01-01 The purposes of the Integrated Testing Task are to develop laboratory data on thermodynamic properties for actinide and fission product elements for use in the EQ3/6 geochemical modelling code; to determine the transport properties of radionuclides in the near-field environment; and develop and validate a model to describe the rate of release of radionuclides from the near-field environment. Activities to achieve the firs item have been described in the Scientific Investigation Plan for EQ3/6, where quality assurance levels were assigned to the acitivities. This Scientific Investigation Plan describes activities to achieve the second and third purposes. The information gathered in these activities will be used to assess compliance with the performance objective for the Engineered Barrier System (EBS) to control the rate of release of radionuclides if the repository license application includes part of the host rock; to provide a source term for release of radionuclides from the waste package near-field environment to the system performance assessment task for use in showing compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency requirements; and to provide a source term for release of radionculides from the waste package near-field environment to the system performance assessment task for use in doing calculations of cumulative releases of radionuclides from the repository over 100,000 years as required by the site evaluation process. 5 refs 4. ANALISIS PENGARUH EMOTIONAL QUOTIENT (EQ DAN STRES KERJA TERHADAP PERFORMA KERJA KARYAWAN PADA PT. BANK MESTIKA DHARMA MEDAN Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Bambang Bambang 2013-02-01 Full Text Available Human Resources are a generator of available resources in the activities and routine of an organization or company that the good and the bad performance of an organization are determined by the performance of human resources. Professional employee is a reliable employee with balanced quality between academic and emotional capability. Academic intelligence is frequently given a higher position than emotional intelligence is an individual evaluation. Emotional intelligence is the factor determining the effectiveness of someone is working that with high emotional intelligence, the human resources can be easily directed and guided to work in accordance with the goals of organization. The prupose of this quantitative descriptive explanatory study was to look at the influence of Emotional Quotient (EQ and Work Stress on the performance of the employees of PT. Bank Mestika Dharma Medan using the theory of human resources management related to Emotional Quotient (EQ, work stress and work performance. The population of this study was 585 employees and 238 of them were selected to be the samples for this study. The data obtained were analyzed through multiple linear regression tests using F test to simultaneously test the hypothesis and using t test to do a partial test. The result of the hypothesis test showed that simultaneously the variable of Emotional Quotient and work stress had a significant influence on the improvemnet of the performance of the employees of PT. Bank Mestika Dharma Medan 5. Modelling uranium solubilities in aqueous solutions: Validation of a thermodynamic data base for the EQ3/6 geochemical codes International Nuclear Information System (INIS) Puigdomenech, I.; Bruno, J. 1988-01-01 Experimental solubilities of U 4+ and UO 2 2+ that are reported in the literature have been collected. Data on oxides, hydroxides and carbonates have been selected for this work. They include results both at 25 degrees C and at higher temperatures. The literature data have been compared with calculated uranium solubilities obtained with the EQ3/6 geochemical modelling programs and an uranium thermodynamic data base selected for the Swedish nuclear waste management program. This verification/validiation exercise has shown that more experimental data is needed to determine the chemical composition of anionic uranyl hydroxo complexes as well as their equilibrium constants of formation. There is also a need for more solubility data on well characterised alkaline or alkaline-earth uranates. For the uranyl carbonate system, the calculated results agree reasonably well with the experimental literature values, which span over a wide range of pH, (CO 3 2- ) T , CO 2 (g)-pressure, and T. The experimental solubility of UO 2 (s) agrees also well with the EQ3/6 calculations for pH greater than 6. However, in more acidic solutions the experimental solubilities are higher than the calculated values. This is due to the formation of polynuclear hydroxo complexes of uranium, which are not well characterised, and are not included in the thermodynamic data base used in this study. (authors) 6. Questioning the differences between general public vs. patient based preferences towards EQ-5D-5L defined hypothetical health states. Science.gov (United States) Ogorevc, Marko; Murovec, Nika; Fernandez, Natacha Bolanos; Rupel, Valentina Prevolnik 2017-03-28 The purpose of this article is to explore whether any differences exist between the general population and patient based preferences towards EQ-5D-5L defined hypothetical health states. The article discusses the role of adaptation and self-interest in valuing health states and it also contributes rigorous empirical evidence to the scientific debate on the differences between the patient and general population preferences towards hypothetical health states. Patient preferences were elicited in 2015 with the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire using time trade-off and discrete choice experiment design and compared to the Spanish general population preferences, which were elicited using identical methods. Patients were chosen on a voluntary basis according to their willingness to participate in the survey. They were recruited from patient organisations and a hospital in Madrid, Spain. 282 metastatic breast cancer patients and 333 rheumatoid arthritis patients were included in the sample. The analysis revealed differences in preferences between the general population and patient groups. Based on the results of our analysis, it is suggested that the differences in preferences stem from patients being more able to accurately imagine "non-tangible" dimensions of health states (anxiety or depression, and pain or discomfort) than the general population with less experience in various health states. However, this does not mean that general public values should not be reflected in utilities derived for coverage decision making. Copyright © 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. 7. Inequalities in Health Status from EQ-5D Findings: A Cross-Sectional Study in Low-Income Communities of Bangladesh Science.gov (United States) Sultana, Marufa; Sarker, Abdur Razzaque; Mahumud, Rashidul Alam; Ahmed, Sayem; Ahmed, Wahid; Chakrovorty, Sanchita; Rahman, Hafizur; Islam, Ziaul; Khan, Jahangir A. M. 2016-01-01 Background: Measuring health status by using standardized and validated instrument has become a growing concern over the past few decades throughout the developed and developing countries. The aim of the study was to investigate the overall self-reported health status along with potential inequalities by using EuroQol 5 dimensions (EQ-5D) instrument among low-income people of Bangladesh. Methods: A cross-sectional household survey was conducted in Chandpur district of Bangladesh. Bangla version of the EQ-5D questionnaire was employed along with socio-demographic information. EQ-5D questionnaire composed of 2-part measurements: EQ-5D descriptive system and the visual analogue scale (VAS). For measuring health status, UK-based preference weights were applied while higher score indicated better health status. For facilitating the consistency with EQ-5D score, VASs were converted to a scale with scores ranging from 0 to 1. Multiple logistic regression models were also employed to examine differences among EQ-5D dimensions. Results: A total of 1433 respondents participated in the study. The mean EQ-5D and VAS score was 0.76 and 0.77, respectively. The females were more likely to report any problem than the males (P economic and demographic inequalities in health status was observed in the study. Study suggests to do further investigation with country representative sample to measure the inequalities of overall health status. It would be helpful for policy-maker to find a new way aiming to reduce such inequalities.

INSURANCE AND THE CORPORATE COST OF CAPITAL Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden) Monika Wieczorek-Kosmala 2012-04-01 Full Text Available The purpose of the paper is to provide some support to the thesis that insurance may reduce the cost of capital in a company by influencing both the cost of capital components and the need for rising capital. The problem is here perceived from two perspectives – the classical concept related to the weighted average cost of capital (WACC and a novel concept related to the risk-based capital structure model with the total average cost of capital (TACC. The paper explains the idea of insurance as a retrospective (post-loss risk financing tool and the risk transfer mechanism upon it. As the risk financing tool insurance reduces the need for the balance-sheet capital in a company and thus the financial distress costs. Also, insurance may reduce the level of operating risk and thus influences the required returns of the capital providers. These observations allow emphasising the impact of insurance on the WACC. However, according to the novel concept of the risk-based capital structure, insurance (as a risk financing tool represents an off-balance sheet capital component. As a consequence, it extends the volume of total capital. The presented conceptual model, based on the TACC concept, indicates that large volume of insurance (the insurance sum and its relatively low cost (the insurance premium gives the possibility to the significant reduction of the cost of capital on average. The concluding remarks discuss some dilemmas over the utility of the TACC concept. 16. 12 CFR 725.5 - Capital stock.

This will help the IAEA ensure that the design specifications for the equipment are consistent with the location where the instrument will be used; E.125.4, 'DIS Design Limit Testing and Advise to Strengthen IAEA's Current Equipment Qualification Criteria' - Under this subtask, Wyle Laboratories and Quanterion Solutions will conduct SDIS design limit testing, including harsh environmental testing and accelerated aging, to determine the expected lifetime and produce a design limit report to include maximum operating environment vs. design limit analysis. Additionally, this task will include the development of a strengthened environmental qualification test plan and reliability and maintainability definition methodology for all safeguards equipment. The implementation of new equipment by the Department of Safeguards is costly. Expected costs associated with the implementation of equipment include capital costs, training and in some cases travel. The cost is dramatically increased when operational issues arise due to the costs of studying the issues, modifying and upgrading the equipment and additional travel. The U.S. Support Program believes that the IAEA's Division of Safeguards Technical Support (SGTS) must strengthen its equipment-testing program to ensure that the equipment it approves for inspection use is reliable and will not place additional burden on the Department of Safeguards' maintenance and inspection staff. The U.S. Support Program recognizes that SGTS already requires a series of fundamentally important and revealing tests, but we believe that additional tests should be added to the testing 10.

Measuring Social Capital Investment: Scale Development and Examination of Links to Social Capital and Perceived Stress Science.gov (United States) Wegner, Rhiana; Gong, Jie; Fang, Xiaoyi; Kaljee, Linda 2014-01-01 Individuals with greater social capital have better health outcomes. Investment in social capital likely increases one’s own social capital, bearing great implications for disease prevention and health promotion. In this study, the authors developed and validated the Social Capital Investment Inventory (SCII). Direct effects of social capital investment on perceived stress, and indirect effects through social capital were examined. 397 Participants from Beijing and Wuhan, China completed surveys. Analyses demonstrated that the SCII has a single factor structure and strong internal consistency. Structural equation modeling showed that individuals who invested more in social capital had greater bonding social capital, and subsequently less perceived stress. Results suggest that disease prevention and health promotion programs should consider approaches to encourage social capital investment; individuals may be able to reduce stress by increasing their investment in social capital. Future research is needed to provide additional empirical support for the SCII and observed structural relationships. PMID:25648725 13.

Health-related quality of life in pregnant women living with HIV: a comparison of EQ-5D and SF-12. Science.gov (United States) Wang, Xiaowen; Guo, Guangping; Zhou, Ling; Zheng, Jiarui; Liang, Xiumin; Li, Zhanqin; Luo, Hongzhuan; Yang, Yuyan; Yang, Liyuan; Tan, Ting; Yu, Jun; Lu, Lin 2017-08-30 This paper investigates the properties and performance of the two generic measures, EQ-5D and SF-12, for Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) assessments of pregnant women living with HIV in Kunming City, Yiliang County, Daguan County, Longchuan County, Tengchong County, Longling County and Fengqing County in Yunnan Province, China. As part of a screening programme for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT), a retrospective cross-sectional survey was conducted in the seven Maternal and Infant Health Care centers in Yunnan Province, China, between April and June of 2016. The demographic and HIV infection-related information used in the study was collected through questionnaires designed by the study's staff. HRQoL information was collected using two generic scales: EQ-5D and SF-12. A total sample of one hundred and one pregnant women with a mean age of 30.4 ± 5.1 years was investigated. Average time elapsed since infection diagnoses was 5.8 ± 3.4 years. Only one infant (1.0%) was HIV positive, and 56 (55.4%) infants were HIV negative.

Manage Profile) Rating: 80/100 From garycottier 05/07/2016 16:29 Yet another great Nick Cave album, and really the last of the more darker earlier records. After this, Cave wouldn't exactly turn into Elton John, but his music would become more accessible, although still not exactly commercial. The tender prey kicks off with, the mercy seat, another classic Cave moment, but the album never lets up. Deanna, is a kind of twisted soul number, city of refuge, another strong cut, and, up jumped the devil, is excellent. Slowly goes the night, is lighter, but like the whole record, it still retains it's dark undertow. Great stuff. Helpful?

Side one is far superior to side two, but that's saying more about the strengths of the former than the weaknesses of the latter.

Remember was a indie record shop in some creepy basement in Melbourne. This is a masterpiece album,believe Nick Cave was badly strung out on heroin, album cover says it all. A very dark trip this album. I'm sure Cave had some demons of his own to deal with, but help inspire a great record, love all his albums . Helpful?

Strong themes of religion and manipulation recur throughout. Up Jumped the Devil and Sunday's Slave are the darkest tracks, Watching Alice is beautiful in a sad, creepy kind of way and Deanna is my personal favourite strictly because the upbeat, rocking music is a stark contrast to the morbid lyrical content.

It is the time that they are moving from the rawness of their post-punk influence to a more controlled, theatrical tone. The 1990s will see a much more melodic band, but for now, we are waving goodbye to the Cave we used to know ever since the birthday party. And of course the Mercy Seat is an brilliant masterpiece both musically and lyrically... Helpful?

447,330,356,818,422,900	Konsep Jarak pada Dimensi Tiga atau Bangun Ruang Blog Koma - Setelah mempelajari materi kedudukan titik, garis, dan bidang pada bangun ruang, kita lanjutkan lagi materi berikutnya yang berkaitan dengan dimensi tiga yaitu materi Konsep Jarak pada Dimensi Tiga atau Bangun Ruang. Menentukan atau penghitungan jarak pada dimensi tiga merupakan salah satu materi yang pasti wajib soal-soalnya ada pada ujian nasional maupun ujian masuk perguruan tinggi. Ini artinya konsep jarak harus benar-benar kita kuasai dengan baik dan banyak berlatih. Untuk memudahkan mempelajari materi Konsep Jarak pada Dimensi Tiga atau Bangun Ruang, hal mendasar yang harus kita kuasai terlebih dahulu adalah teorema phytagoras, aturan cosinus pada segitiga, serta Cara Proyeksi Titik, Garis, dan Bidang. Memang tidak semudah mempelajari teorinya dari pada menyelesaikan soal yang berkaitan jarak, karena pada dimensi tiga ini kita harus bisa membayangkan dan menggambarkan jarak yang akan dicari terutama menggunakan proyeksinya. Namun kami yakin, dengan banyak berlatih, pasti kita akan terbiasa dalam menyelesaikan soal yang berkaitan dengan jarak pada dimensi tiga. Konsep jarak pada dimensi tiga atau bangun ruang yang akan kita bahas di sini adalah jarak antara dua titik, jarak titik ke garis, jarak titik ke bidang, jarak dua garis bersilangan, jarak garis dan bidang yang sejajar, dan jarak dua bidang yang sejajar. Diantara semua jenis konsep jarak yang akan kita pelajari, jarak titik ke titik dan jarak titik ke garis lah yang paling mudah, sementara konsep jarak yang lainnya akan lebih sulit. Makanya teman-teman harus berlatih lebih giat lagi ya, OK !!!^_^!!! Konsep Jarak pada Dimensi Tiga Secara Umum Secara umum, yang dimaksud jarak pada dimensi tiga adalah jarak terdekat yang bisa kita peroleh dari konsep jarak yang akan kita hitung. Jarak terdekat akan kita peroleh ketika terbentuk saling tegak lurus sehingga penghitungannya bisa menggunakan teorema phytagoras. Contoh soal : 1). Perhatikan gambar kubus berikut ini, ). Jarak titik E ke garis AF adalah jarak terdekatnya yaitu jaraknya = panjang EM, dimana terdekat ketika EM tegak lurus dengan garis AF seperti gambar (a). ). Jarak titik E ke NF adalah jarak terdekatnya yaitu jaraknya = panjang EN. Kenapa jaraknya adalah panjang EN ? kok bukan panjang EM? ini disebabkan karena yang ditanyakan adalah jarak titik E ke NF (NF yang dimaksud adalah segmen garis NF saja) bukan jarak E ke garis NF sehingga NF tidak bisa diperpanjang. Artinya jika ditanya jarak terhadap segmen garis tertentu, maka yang kita hitung adalah jarak terdekatnya meskipun tidak membentuk siku-siku seperti gambar (b). ). Jarak titik E ke garis NF adalah jarak terdekatnya dengan memperpanjang garis FN sehingga menjadi FM, ini artinya jarak terdekatnya membentuk siku-siku. Jarak titik E ke garis NF = panjang EM seperti gambar (c). Konsep Jarak antara dua titik Jarak antara dua titik dihitung dengan menggunakan teorema phytagoras biasa, hanya saja kita harus jeli dan pintar dalam memilih segitiga siku-siku yang melibatkan kedua titik tersebut. Contoh soal jarak dua titik : 2). Sebuah kubus ABCD.EFGH memiliki panjang rusuk 6 cm. Hitunglah : a). Jarak titik A ke F, b). Jarak titik A ke P dengan titik P adalah titik tengah HF, c). Jarak titik A ke N dengan titik N adalah titik tengah EC, d). Jarak titik B ke Q , titik Q berada di garis EH dengan EQ = 2QH. Penyelesaian : a). Jarak titik A ke F, untuk menghitung jarak A ke F kita gunakan segitiga siku-siku AEF. $ \begin{align} \text{panjang AF } & = \sqrt{AE^2 + EF^2} \\ & = \sqrt{6^2 + 6^2} \\ & = \sqrt{36 + 36} \\ & = \sqrt{36\times 2} \\ & = 6 \sqrt{ 2} \end{align} $ Jadi, jarak A ke F adalah $ 6\sqrt{2} \, $ cm. b). Jarak titik A ke P dengan titik P adalah titik tengah HF, untuk menghitung jarak A ke P kita gunakan segitiga siku-siku AEP. EG adalah diagonal bidang sehingga $ EG = 6 \sqrt{ 2} $ Panjang EP $ \, = \frac{1}{2} EG = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \sqrt{ 2} = 3 \sqrt{ 2} $ $ \begin{align} \text{panjang AP } & = \sqrt{AE^2 + EP^2} \\ & = \sqrt{6^2 + (3 \sqrt{ 2})^2} \\ & = \sqrt{36 + 18} \\ & = \sqrt{54} \\ & = \sqrt{9\times 6} \\ & = 3 \sqrt{ 6} \end{align} $ Jadi, jarak A ke P adalah $ 3\sqrt{6} \, $ cm. c). Jarak titik A ke N dengan titik N adalah titik tengah EC, untuk menghitung jarak A ke N kita gunakan segitiga siku-siku AXN. XY adalah diagonal bidang sehingga $ XY = 6 \sqrt{ 2} $ Panjang XN $ \, = \frac{1}{2} XY = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \sqrt{ 2} = 3 \sqrt{ 2} $ Panjang AX $ \, = \frac{1}{2} AE = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 = 3 $ $ \begin{align} \text{panjang AN } & = \sqrt{AX^2 + XN^2} \\ & = \sqrt{3^2 + (3 \sqrt{ 2})^2} \\ & = \sqrt{9 + 18} \\ & = \sqrt{27} \\ & = \sqrt{9\times 3} \\ & = 3 \sqrt{ 3} \end{align} $ Jadi, jarak A ke N adalah $ 3\sqrt{3} \, $ cm. d). Jarak titik B ke Q , titik Q berada di garis EH dengan EQ = 2QH. untuk menghitung jarak B ke Q kita gunakan segitiga siku-siku BEQ. BE adalah diagonal bidang sehingga panjang $ BE = 6\sqrt{2} $ ). Menentukan panjang EQ : $ \begin{align} EQ & = 2QH \\ \frac{EQ}{QH} & = \frac{2}{1} \\ EQ & = \frac{2}{3} EH \\ & = \frac{2}{3} \times 6 \\ & = 4 \end{align} $ ). Menentukan panjang BQ : $ \begin{align} \text{panjang BQ } & = \sqrt{BE^2 + EQ^2} \\ & = \sqrt{(6 \sqrt{ 2})^2 + 4^2} \\ & = \sqrt{72 + 16} \\ & = \sqrt{88} \\ & = \sqrt{4\times 22} \\ & = 2 \sqrt{22} \end{align} $ Jadi, jarak B ke Q adalah $ 2\sqrt{22} \, $ cm. Catatan : Segitiga siku-siku yang digunakan untuk masing-masing jawaban adalah salah satu alternatif, artinya teman-teman bisa menggunakan segitiga siku-siku yang lainnya tentu dengan hasil yang sama pula. Konsep Jarak Titik ke Garis Misalkan kita mau menghitung jarak titik A ke garis BC, perhatikan gambar berikut ini. ). gambar (a), Jarak A ke garis BC. ). gambar (b), Jarak A ke garis BC = panjang AD, dengan AD tegak lurus garis BC. Titik D diperoleh dengan memproyeksikan titik A pada garis BC. ). gambar (c), untuk menghitung panjang AD, kita buat segitiga bantuan dengan menghubungkan AB dan AC sehingga terbentuk segitiga ABC. Ada beberapa cara dalam menyelesaikan konsep jarak titik ke garis, diantaranya menggunakan : i). perbandingan luas segitiga. Cara ini digunakan jika segitiga yang terbentuk siku-siku di A atau panjang semua segitiganya adalah bilangan bulat. ii). teorema phytagoras. Cara ini bida digunakan untuk semua tipe soal jarak titik ke garis. iii). aturan cosinus. Cara ini digunakan sebagai alternatif lain dari dua cara sebelumnya. Kita akan mencari nilai cos dari sudut B atau C, kemudian kita cari lagi nilai sin sudut B atau C dengan segitiga baru. Contoh soal : 3). Pada kubus ABCD.EFGH dengan panjang rusuk 8 cm. Tentukan jarak titik E ke garis AG? Penyelesaian : ). Jarak E ke garis AG diwakili oleh garis EP karena EP tegak lurus dengan AG. Segitiga bantuan adalah segitiga EAG siku-siku di E. Cara I : Menggunakan luas segitiga, Luas segitiga AEG dapat dihitung dari dua cara yaitu dengan alasnya AG dan tingginya EP, serta alasnya EA dan tingginya EG yang keduanya memiliki luas yang sama. $ \begin{align} \text{Luas AEG (alas AG) } & = \text{Luas AEG (alas EA) } \\ \frac{1}{2} \times AG \times EP & = \frac{1}{2} \times EA \times EG \\ AG \times EP & = EA \times EG \\ 8\sqrt{3} \times EP & = 8 \times 8\sqrt{2} \\ EP & = \frac{8 \times 8\sqrt{2}}{8\sqrt{3} } \\ & = \frac{ 8\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3} } \\ & = \frac{ 8}{3 } \sqrt{6} \end{align} $ Jadi, jarak E ke garis AG adalah $ \frac{ 8}{3 } \sqrt{6} \, $ cm. Cara II : Menggunakan teorema phytagoras, Misalkan panjang $ AP = x , \, $ maka panjang $ PG = AG - AP = 8\sqrt{3} - x $ Perhatikan segitiga EAP, $ EP^2 = EA^2 - AP^2 $ Perhatikan segitiga EGP, $ EP^2 = EG^2 - GP^2 $ Kedua panjang EP adalah sama, sehingga kita peroleh : $ \begin{align} \text{ (segitiga EAP) } EP^2 & = \text{ (segitiga EGP) } EP^2 \\ EA^2 - AP^2 & = EG^2 - GP^2 \\ 8^2 - x^2 & = (8\sqrt{2})^2 - (8\sqrt{3} - x)^2 \\ 64 - x^2 & = 128 - (192 - 16\sqrt{3}x + x^2) \\ 64 - x^2 & = 128 - 192 + 16\sqrt{3}x - x^2 \\ 64 & = -64 + 16\sqrt{3}x \\ 16\sqrt{3}x & = 128 \\ x & = \frac{128}{16\sqrt{3}} \\ x & = \frac{8}{3}\sqrt{3} \end{align} $ Menentukan panjang EP : $ \begin{align} EP^2 & = EA^2 - AP^2 \\ & = 8^2 - (\frac{8}{3}\sqrt{3})^2 \\ & = 64 - (\frac{64}{3} ) \\ EP^2 & = \frac{128}{3} \\ EP & = \sqrt{ \frac{128}{3} } = \frac{\sqrt{128}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{8\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{8 }{3} \sqrt{6} \end{align} $ Jadi, jarak E ke garis AG adalah $ \frac{ 8}{3 } \sqrt{6} \, $ cm. Cara III : Menggunakan Aturan cosinus, ). Perhatikan segitiga EAG, kita terapkan aturan cosinus pada sudut A. $ EG^2 = AE^2 + AG^2 - 2 . AE. AG \cos A \rightarrow \cos A = \frac{AE^2 + AG^2- EG^2}{2 . AE. AG} $. Menentukan nilai cos A : $ \begin{align} \cos A & = \frac{AE^2 + AG^2- EG^2}{2 . AE. AG} \\ & = \frac{8^2 + (8\sqrt{3})^2- (8\sqrt{2})^2}{2 . 8. (8\sqrt{3})} \\ & = \frac{64 + 192- 128}{2 . 8. (8\sqrt{3})} \\ & = \frac{128}{2 . 8.8\sqrt{3}} \\ & = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3}} \end{align} $ Menentukan nilai sin A , menggunakan identitas trigonometri : $ \sin ^2 A + \cos ^2 A = 1 \rightarrow \sin ^2 A + (\frac{1}{ \sqrt{3}})^2 = 1 \rightarrow \sin ^2 A + \frac{1}{ 3} = 1 $ $ \rightarrow \sin ^2 A = \frac{2}{ 3} \rightarrow \sin A = \sqrt{\frac{2}{ 3} } = \frac{1}{3}\sqrt{6} $ Menentukan panjang EP, perhatikan segitiga EAP : $ \begin{align} \sin A & = \frac{de}{mi} \\ \frac{1}{3}\sqrt{6} & = \frac{EP}{EA} \\ \frac{1}{3}\sqrt{6} & = \frac{EP}{8} \\ \frac{8}{3}\sqrt{6} & = EP \end{align} $ Jadi, jarak E ke garis AG adalah $ \frac{ 8}{3 } \sqrt{6} \, $ cm. Catatan : ). Tidak semua soal bisa dikerjakan dengan ketiga cara diatas. Namun untuk cara II dan Cara III bisa diterapkan kesemua tipe soal konsep jarak titik ke garis. ). Penghitungan jarak titik ke garis juga bisa menggunakan konsep vektor, silahkan baca artikelnya pada "aplikasi vektor : jarak titik ke garis" 4). Diketahui titik P ada ditengah-tengah garis EA pada kubus ABCD.EFGH dengan panjang rusuk 10 cm. Tentukan jarak titik P ke garis BH? Penyelesaian : ). Jarak P ke garis BH diwakili oleh garis PN karena PN tegak lurus dengan BH. ). Menentukan panjang sisi-sisi segitiganya : panjang PB = PH = $ \sqrt{PA^2 + PB^2} = \sqrt{5^2 + 100^2} = 5\sqrt{5} $ Karena segitiga PBH samakaki, maka letak N terletak ditengah BH. Panjang $ BN = \frac{1}{2} BH = \frac{1}{2} \times 10\sqrt{3} = 5\sqrt{3} $ Menentukan panjang PN, menggunakan segitiga PBN $ \begin{align} PN & = \sqrt{PB^2 - BN^2} \\ & = \sqrt{(5\sqrt{5})^2 - (5\sqrt{3})^2} \\ & = 5\sqrt{2} \end{align} $ Jadi, jarak P ke garis BH adalah $ 5\sqrt{2} \, $ cm. 5). Pada limas segiempat beraturan T.ABCD memiliki rusuk alas $ 3\sqrt{2} \, $ cm dan rusuk tegaknya 8 cm. Tentukan jarak titik A ke TC? Penyelesaian : ). Melengkapkan panjang sisi-sisi segitiga. Jarak A ke garis TC, kita gunakan segitiga ATC sebagai bantuannya. Panjang AC pada segitiga ABC : $ AC = \sqrt{AB^2 + BC^2 } = \sqrt{ (3\sqrt{2})^2 + (3\sqrt{2})^2 } = \sqrt{36} = 6 $ Untuk menghitung jarak A ke TC = panjang AE, banyak metode yang bisa kita terapkan, misalnya metode phytagoras seperti contoh 3 dengan memisalkan $ CE = x \, $. Bisa juga menggunakan metode aturan cosinus pada sudut C atau T. Pada pembahasan ini kita akan menggunakan metode luas segitiga karena sisi-sisi segitiganya berupa bilangan bulat dengan luasan rumus Heron dan metode luasan biasa. Cara I : Luas segitiga rumus Heron, Luas segitiga $ \, = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} \, $ dengan $ s = \frac{1}{2}(a+b+c) $. Segitiga ATC dengan sisi-sisi 6, 8, 8. $ s = \frac{1}{2}(6 + 8 + 8) = \frac{1}{2}(22) = 11 $ $ \begin{align} \text{Luas ATC } & = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} \\ & = \sqrt{11(11-6)(11-8)(11-8)} = \sqrt{11.5.3.3} = 3\sqrt{55} \end{align} $ Luas segitiga ATC juga dapat dihitung dengan rumus : $ \text{Luas ATC } = \frac{1}{2} a t = \frac{1}{2}.TC . AE = \frac{1}{2}.8 . AE = 4AE $ ). Menentukan panjang AE dengan kedua luas ATC yang sama. $ \begin{align} \text{Luas ATC } & = \text{Luas ATC } \\ \frac{1}{2}.TC . AE & = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} \\ 4AE & = 3\sqrt{55} \\ AE & = \frac{3}{4} \sqrt{55} \end{align} $ Jadi, jarak A ke garis TC adalah $ \frac{3}{4} \sqrt{55} \, $ cm. Cara II : Luas segitiga rumus biasa, Perhatikan gambar (c), Panjang TF dari segitiga TFC, $ TF = \sqrt{TC^2 - FC^2 } = \sqrt{8^2 - 3^2 } = \sqrt{64 - 9 } = \sqrt{ 55} $ Luas segitiga ATC, $ \text{Luas ATC } = \frac{1}{2} a t = \frac{1}{2}.AC . TF = \frac{1}{2}. 6 . \sqrt{ 55} = 3\sqrt{ 55} $ *). Menentukan panjang AE dengan kedua luas ATC yang sama. $ \begin{align} \text{Luas ATC } & = \text{Luas ATC } \\ \frac{1}{2}.TC . AE & = \frac{1}{2}.AC . TF \\ 4AE & = 3\sqrt{55} \\ AE & = \frac{3}{4} \sqrt{55} \end{align} $ Jadi, jarak A ke garis TC adalah $ \frac{3}{4} \sqrt{55} \, $ cm. 6). Tentukan jarak titik A ke garis EF pada kubus ABCD.EFGH yang memiliki panjang rusuk 10 cm? Penyelesaian : Jika titik A kita proyeksi ke garis EF, maka hasilnya adalah titik E karena AE tegak lurus dengan EF. Sehingga jarak titik A ke garis EF adalah 10 cm.

Penghitungan jarak di dimensi tiga wajib dikuasai karena sering muncul di ujian nasional maupun seleksi perguruan tinggi. Dasar yang perlu dikuasai: - Teorema Pythagoras - Aturan kosinus pada segitiga - Cara proyeksi titik, garis, dan bidang Jenis-jenis jarak yang akan dibahas: 1. Jarak dua titik 2. Jarak titik ke garis 3. Jarak titik ke bidang 4. Jarak dua garis bersilangan 5. Jarak garis dan bidang sejajar 6. Jarak dua bidang sejajar --- ## Konsep Jarak pada Dimensi Tiga Secara Umum Jarak pada dimensi tiga adalah jarak terdekat antara objek yang dihitung, diperoleh ketika terbentuk sudut siku-siku sehingga dapat menggunakan teorema Pythagoras. Contoh Soal 1 Perhatikan gambar kubus berikut: 1. Jarak titik E ke garis AF adalah panjang EM, di mana EM ⟂ AF. 2. Jarak titik E ke segmen NF adalah panjang EN (meski EN tidak ⟂ NF, karena NF tidak diperpanjang). 3. Jarak titik E ke garis NF (diperpanjang) adalah panjang EM, karena EM ⟂ NF setelah perpanjangan. --- ## Konsep Jarak antara Dua Titik Jarak antar dua titik dihitung dengan memilih segitiga siku-siku yang menghubungkan kedua titik dan menerapkan teorema Pythagoras. Contoh Soal 2 Sebuah kubus $ABCD.EFGH$ memiliki panjang rusuk 6 cm. Hitung: a. $AF$ b. $AP$, dengan $P$ titik tengah $HF$ c. $AN$, dengan $N$ titik tengah $EC$ d. $BQ$, dengan titik $Q$ di $EH$ dan $EQ = 2QH$ ### Penyelesaian a. Jarak $A$ ke $F$ menggunakan $\triangle AEF$: \[ AF = \sqrt{AE^2 + EF^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 6^2} = 6\sqrt{2}\text{ cm} \] b. $P$ titik tengah $HF$. Karena $EG$ diagonal bidang, \[ EG = 6\sqrt{2},\quad EP = \tfrac12 EG = 3\sqrt{2}. \] Pada $\triangle AEP$: \[ AP = \sqrt{AE^2 + EP^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + (3\sqrt{2})^2} = 3\sqrt{6}\text{ cm} \] c. $N$ titik tengah $EC$. Misal $X$ adalah proyeksi: \[ XY = 6\sqrt{2},\quad XN = 3\sqrt{2},\quad AX = 3. \] Pada $\triangle AXN$: \[ AN = \sqrt{AX^2 + XN^2} = 3\sqrt{3}\text{ cm} \] d. Pada $EH$, $EQ=2QH$ sehingga \[ EQ = \tfrac{2}{3}\,EH = 4,\quad BE = 6\sqrt{2}. \] Pada $\triangle BEQ$: \[ BQ = \sqrt{BE^2 + EQ^2} = 2\sqrt{22}\text{ cm} \] --- ## Konsep Jarak Titik ke Garis Misalkan ingin menghitung jarak titik $A$ ke garis $BC$: 1. Tentukan titik proyeksi $D$ sehingga $AD \perp BC$. 2. Hitung panjang $AD$ dengan salah satu cara: - Perbandingan luas segitiga - Teorema Pythagoras - Aturan kosinus Contoh Soal 3 Pada kubus $ABCD.EFGH$ dengan rusuk 8 cm, tentukan jarak $E$ ke garis $AG$. ### Penyelesaian Jarak diwakili $EP$ dengan $EP\perp AG$ pada $\triangle EAG$ siku-siku di $E$. Cara I (Luas Segitiga) \[ \frac12\cdot AG\cdot EP = \frac12\cdot EA\cdot EG \;\Longrightarrow\; 8\sqrt3\;EP = 8\cdot8\sqrt2 \;\Longrightarrow\; EP = \frac{8}{3}\sqrt6\text{ cm} \] Cara II (Phytagoras) Misal $AP=x$, maka $GP=8\sqrt3-x$. Dari \[ EA^2 - AP^2 = EG^2 - GP^2 \] diperoleh $x=\tfrac{8}{3}\sqrt3$, lalu \[ EP = \sqrt{EA^2 - AP^2} = \frac{8}{3}\sqrt6\text{ cm}. \] Cara III (Aturan Kosinus) Dari $\triangle EAG$, \[ \cos A = \frac{AE^2+AG^2-EG^2}{2\cdot AE\cdot AG} = \tfrac1{\sqrt3},\quad \sin A = \tfrac{1}{3}\sqrt6, \] pada $\triangle EAP$: \[ EP = EA\sin A = \frac{8}{3}\sqrt6\text{ cm}. \] --- Contoh Soal 4 Pada kubus $ABCD.EFGH$ rusuk 10 cm, $P$ titik tengah $EA$. Tentukan jarak $P$ ke $BH$. ### Penyelesaian Jarak diwakili $PN$ dengan $PN\perp BH$. Karena $PA=5$, \[ PB = PH = \sqrt{5^2+10^2} = 5\sqrt5,\quad BN = \tfrac12 BH = 5\sqrt3. \] Pada $\triangle PBN$: \[ PN = \sqrt{PB^2 - BN^2} = 5\sqrt2\text{ cm}. \] --- Contoh Soal 5 Limas segiempat $T.ABCD$ beraturan, rusuk alas $3\sqrt2$ cm dan rusuk tegak 8 cm. Tentukan jarak $A$ ke $TC$. ### Penyelesaian Gunakan $\triangle ATC$ dengan sisi $AC=6$, $AT=8$, $TC=8$. Cara I (Heron) \[ s=\tfrac{6+8+8}2=11,\quad L = \sqrt{11\cdot5\cdot3\cdot3} = 3\sqrt{55}. \] Karena $L = \tfrac12\cdot TC\cdot AE$, \[ AE = \frac{3\sqrt{55}}4\text{ cm}. \] Cara II (Luas Biasa) Tinggi dari sisi $TC$, misal $TF=\sqrt{8^2-3^2}=\sqrt{55}$.

7,374,503,422,519,930,000	We are in an earnings recession, and it is expected to get worse Published: Sept 21, 2019 7:40 a.m. ET Share Print icon S&P 500 earnings per share decline for a second consecutive quarter, the first time that has happened in three years Getty Images Metals and mining companies saw some of the sharpest earnings declines in the second quarter. By Reporter The S&P 500 is officially in an earnings recession for the first time in three years, and the trend is expected to get worse in the third quarter. The entirety of the S&P 500 index SPX, -0.10% has reported results for the second quarter, showing an average earnings drop of 0.35%. Components posted a 0.29% decline in earnings per share in the first quarter, marking the first period of back-to-back declines since the second quarter of 2016. Earnings recessions are typically categorized as two straight quarters of falling earnings. Opinion: Stock market’s eerie parallels to September 2007 should raise recession fears Analysts surveyed by FactSet currently project a steeper drop for the third quarter, with estimates calling for a 3.95% decline on average. Sentiment has worsened since the start of the year, as analysts had been projecting a 1.07% increase in third-quarter earnings as of late March. But they expect things to turn positive again in the holiday period, with expectations for 1.3% growth overall in the calendar year. Some of the worst-performing companies for the second quarter were in metals and mining, with earnings for that subsector down 76% on average amid falling prices and rising costs for companies like Freeport-McMoRan Inc. FCX, -0.21% . The materials sector overall saw a 17.88% decline, led by weakness in mining that’s projected to persist for another quarter. Read: Stocks could drop 20% after an October disappointment, strategist warns Industrials were another negative area, though most of the sector’s 10.23% decline could be blamed on Boeing Co. BA, +0.22% , which swung to a big loss after its 737 Max jets were grounded. Building products and construction companies were other big contributors to the sector’s decline. Software and IT services were among the bright spots in the tech sector, but storage and semiconductors helped drive a 5.98% average earnings drop for information-technology companies. Chip companies had been calling for a second-half rebound heading into the latest round of earnings, but now some executives are a bit less confident. And looking ahead to the third quarter, analysts model a 30.81% drop in chip-sector earnings, steeper than the 25.38% drop experienced in the latest period. The memory game: Chip companies giving mixed signals about a rebound In all, five of the 11 S&P sectors saw earnings rise, led by health care and, particularly, insurers. Cigna Corp. CI, -0.31% witnessed a 72.42% rise in earnings, while Humana Inc. HUM, -0.35% grew profits by 49.84%. The other sectors to show profit growth were communication services, financials, real estate and utilities. Analysts expect the same five sectors that grew earnings in the second quarter to repeat that performance in the third quarter. The S&P 500 has ticked up 3.1% in the past three months.

But how to make your account attractive and popular? The easiest and most affordable way is to publish beautiful and juicy photos. Of course, many do not bother with the introduction of their profile, but simply take banal photos and write small comments on the picture. Only here you will not wait for the result from such a post. Because it is standard and unattractive to subscribers. Do not expect a lot of likes and comments from such publications. But there is another way, if you approach the issue wisely. The first thing you need is a positive mood and inspiration. If you are upset or angry, we do not advise you to publish something. Relax, have a cup of coffee and when a brilliant idea for a photo appears, bring it to life. Luxurious still life shots. Get away from the banal photo of bouquets. Add your own touch to the frame. Let an object from everyday life fall into the field of view, for example, an open diary or a silhouette in the mirror. Constantly look for new stories. Try to fill the pictures with artistic value, creativity, humor. Stylize your photos with filters, but choose them wisely. VSCO has great filters. Use additional programs and services that expand the capabilities of Instagram. For example, create original collages in Layout or process ready-made pictures in the Snapseed editor. Pictures of virgin nature are popular: mountains, sky, water, etc. Happy childhood. Looking at children's smiles is a pleasure. Few people hold on and do not like this photo. Try to take pictures in good light, ideally it should be natural. Experiment with light, try to focus the camera on different parts of the frame: bright and dark. Use a horizontal format, unless circumstances require otherwise. People often forget to rotate their smartphone and shoot in portrait mode, which is why photos look like cropped stripes. Before shooting, always inspect the object or scene with the naked eye, only then look through the screen. This helps to choose a perspective. Sign up for famous photographers. May they inspire you and set a good example. So, pay attention to the work of brahmino, thiswildidea, mikekus or natgeo. Do not forget about additional accessories. For example, a false lens or tripod will bring your photos closer to professional ones. A waterproof cover will allow you to take spectacular shots under water.

Translated by Fred Uleman University of Tokyo Press Japan was compelled to open its doors to Western commerce in the 1850s and 1860s. Yet because the treaties signed at that time reflected the Western powers’ dominant position, Japanese foreign policy’s prime imperative in the initial decades afterward was to rectify these unequal treaties. This book, appearing in English for the first time, explains the political process of the negotiations attempting revision of the treaties in the context of events both inside and outside Japan. This book brings a fresh perspective to a classic and still important historical issue: the character of the unequal treaties imposed on Japan by the West, and the character of the Japanese response to those treaties. The government’s efforts to revise the treaties—and popular responses to those efforts—were a crucible for Japan’s modern nationalism, just as recent efforts to revise the treaty relations between Japan and the United States have produced renewed articulations of nationalism across the political spectrum. By also bringing into view the efforts to revise the Sino-Japanese treaty of 1871, Iokibe offers a more dynamic understanding of a Meiji era history too often divided into separate histories of ‘Japan and the West’ and ‘Japan and Asia.’ He takes full account of recent works which challenge a simplistic view of the treaties as patently and obviously ‘unequal’ from the start. He then goes on to carefully specify the ways in which, and the moments at which, these treaties both functioned as unequal agreements and were understood to be unequal. Andrew Gordon, Harvard University This pathbreaking work of diplomatic history sheds new light on the long and winding process of Japan’s negotiations for treaty equality with western nations in the Meiji era. Moving beyond standard accounts, Iokibe skillfully weaves together different threads—the government that vacillated between different diplomatic strategies, the media that grappled with secret negotiations, and the public that often harbored unrealistic expectations—to produce a compelling historical account of one of the most important policy issues of Meiji Japan. The fascinating narrative reveals what it meant for Japan to become a full-fledged nation and locates the roots of Japan’s double-standard diplomacy that sees the West as the model and China and Asia as junior partners or worse. A landmark achievement in diplomatic history, this book is a must read for those interested in modern Japanese history and for anyone seeking insight into the complex two-level game of domestic politics and international relations.

Fecha de entrega: Jueves 21 de febrero 2017 1. Piedra, papel o tijera? Es un juego entre dos personas quienes en cada ensayo o prueba, de manera simultánea muestran uno de tres posibles símbolos con una de sus manos: piedra, papel o tijera. Las convenciones del juego son: piedra gana a tijera, tijera gana a papel, papel gana a piedra, símbolos iguales indica empate no gana nadie y se repite la prueba. Nótese que es posible que se requieran varios ensayos antes de que alguien gane uno. Dos amigos están por decidir sobre la película por ver y seleccionan este juego para dirimir la situación. Acuerdan que el ganador será el primero en ganar a) dos, b) tres juegos. Sea X la variable aleatoria que describe el conjunto de resultados posibles; sea Y la v.a . que representa el número de ensayos o intentos del juego. Se asume que cada participante selecciona indistintamente cada símbolo. Para cada caso, (a) y (b): 1 a) Proporcione una descripción general de X y Y . b) Obtenga las expresiones generales para obtener las distribuciones P (X = x) y P (Y = y). c) Si Y = k constante, obtenga H(X \| Y = k), para k = 3, 4. d ) Obtenga H(X), H(Y ), H(X \| Y ), I(X : Y ) y D(X k Y ). El reto es establecer adecuadamente el modelo probabilístico, considerando que Y puede tomar una infinidad de valores. 2. Problema de Monty Hall. Consulte en Internet el planteamiento de este problema. Obtener una descripción en términos de los conceptos de de la teoría de la información, la probabilidad de ganar dado que se cambió la decisión inicial, la probabilidad de ganar dado que no se cambió la decisión inicial, la probabilidad de ganar, la información ganada cuando se abre una de las puertas conteniendo un chivo, 3. Tres urnas, A, B y C contienen bolas de colores de la siguiente forma: A contiene tres bolas rojas y cinco verdes B contiene una bola roja y dos bolas verdes, y C contiene siete bolas rojas y seis verdes. Considere que todas las selecciones son al azar. Se selecciona una urna, y se saca una bola de dicha urna. Se define los eventos SA = {se selecciona la urna A}, SB = {se selecciona la urna B}, SC = {se selecciona la urna C}, SR = {se toma una bola roja } y SV = {se toma una bola verde}. Sean las v. a. X y Y definidas sobre los espacios de resultados {SA , SB , SC } y {SR , SV }, respectivamente. Determine I(X; Y ), H(X), H(Y ), H(X, Y ), H(X \| Y ) y H(Y \| X). 2 4. Considere que se modifican las reglas del planteamiento inicial del ejercicio 3, para uno nuevo. Primero se toma una bola de la urna A; si es roja, se toma una bola de la urna B; si la bola de la urna A resulta verde, se toma una bola de la urna C. Se definen los eventos R1 = {La primera bola seleccionada es roja}, V 1 = {La primera bola seleccionada es verde}, R2 = {La segunda bola seleccionada es roja}, V 2 = {La segunda bola seleccionada es verde}, y las v. a. X y Y sobre los espacios de resultados {R1, V 1} y {R2, V 2}, respectiva- mente. a) Determine I(X; Y ), H(X), H(Y ), H(X, Y ), H(X \| Y ) y H(Y \| X). b) Suponga que ahora se le permite transferir bolas solo entre las urnas B y C. ¿Cómo reacomodaría el número de bolas y colores en estas urnas para maximizar el valor de I(X; Y )? c) ¿Cómo reacomodaría el número de bolas y colores en las urnas B y C para minimizar el valor de I(X; Y )? d ) Repita la partes 4b y 4c calculando H(X \| Y ) en lugar de I(X; Y ). e) ¿Cuál es el reacomodo que hace a X y Y estadísticamente independientes? 5. Se definen tres eventos E1 , E2 , y E3 en el mismo espacio de probabilidad, con proba- bilidades P (E1 ) = P (E2 ) = P (E3 ) = 1/4. Sea E0 el evento de que uno o más de los eventos E1 , E2 , E3 ocurre. a) Encuentre P (E0 ) cuando 1) Los eventos E1 , E2 y E3 son disjuntos. 2) Los eventos E1 , E2 y E3 son independientes. 3) Los eventos E1 , E2 y E3 son en realidad tres nombres distintos para el mismo evento. b) Encuentre el valor máximo que puede tomar P (E0 ) cuando: 1) Nada se sabe sobre la independencia o si son o no disjuntos los eventos E1 , E2 y E3 . 2) Se sabe que los eventos son independientes dos a dos, pero no se sabe nada acerca de la probabilidad de realizar los tres juntos. 3 6. Un jugador deshonesto tiene un dado cargado que proporciona el número uno con probabilidad 2/3 y los números 2 al 6 con probabilidad 1/15 cada uno. Para su mala suerte, olvidó este dado en una caja junto con otros dos dados sin cargar (honestos) del mismo aspecto. Al tratar de recuperarlo, saca al azar un dado de la caja, lo tira y observa que sale un uno. Condicionando sobre este resultado, ¿cuál es la probabilidad de que haya escogido el dado cargado? Vuelve a tirar el dado y sale otra vez un uno. ¿Cuál es la probabilidad, después de este segundo tiro, de que haya escogido el dado cargado? 7. Volados. Con una moneda legal se echan volados hasta que sale la primera águila. Sea X el número de volados necesarios para que esto ocurra. a) Encuentre la entropía H(X) en bits. Las siguientes expresiones pueden servirle ∞ ∞ X r X r rn = , nrn = . n=1 1−r n=1 (1 − r)2 b) Se genera una v. a. X con esta distribución. Encuentre una secuencia “eficiente” de preguntas del tipo “sí o no” de la forma “¿Está X contenida en el conjunto S? ” Compare H(X) con el valor esperado del número de preguntas requeridas para determinar X. 8. Entropía de Funciones. Sea X una v. a. que toma un número finito de valores. ¿Cuál es la relación general de desigualdad entre H(X) y H(Y ) si (a) Y = 2X ; (b) Y = cos X? 9. Pesando monedas. Suponga que se tienen n monedas, entre las que puede haber o no una falsa. Si la hay, esta puede ser o más pesada o más ligera que las demás. Las monedas van a pesarse con una balanza justa y legal. Ofrezca una explicación o descripción detallada a la solución que proponen diversas fuentes en la WEB. 10. La Serie Mundial. La Serie Mundial es una competencia de 7 juegos entre dos equipos que termina cuando alguno de ellos gana primero 4 juegos. Sea X la v. a. que representa el resultado de la Serie mundial entre los equipos A y B; algunos posibles valores de X son AAAA, BABABAB y BBBAAAA. Sea Y el número de juegos disputados, que varía de 4 a 7. Suponiendo que no hay favorito y que los juegos son independientes, calcule H(X), H(Y \|X), y H(Y \|X). 11. Pesando monedas. Suponga que se tienen n monedas, entre las que puede haber o no una falsa. Si la hay, esta puede ser o más pesada o más ligera que las demás. Las monedas van a pesarse con una balanza justa y legal. 4 a) Encuentre una cota superior para el número de monedas n de modo que con k pesadas se podrá determinar la moneda falsa, si la hay, y establecer si es o más pesada o más ligera. b) ¿Cuál es la estrategia para pesar las monedas si k = 3 y n = 12? 12. Ejemplo de entropía conjunta. Sea p(x, y) una distribución conjunta de las v.a. discretas X y Y dada por (X,Y) a b c 1 1 1 1 6 12 12 1 1 1 2 12 6 12 1 1 1 3 12 12 6 Determine (a) H(X), H(Y ).

Resolving Conflicts with Family Members and Others Return to Guardianship and Conservatorship Home Page Resolving differences of opinion can be an opportunity to reflect on whether the decision you are making is the right decision. Considering the observations and advice of professionals, family members and other interested persons is often helpful, even if that input leads to conclusions different from your own. But after considering that input, you are responsible for the decision. If someone does not recognize your authority to make decisions for the protected person — it might be a family member, doctor or financial adviser continuing to argue for a course of action that you have decided against — you should assert yourself, reminding them that the court has appointed you and that by law you are the person responsible for these decisions. If the conflict continues, you should seek legal advice, and you may need to ask the court for directions. For help finding legal advice, see our page on Finding Legal Help. For more information about asking the court for instructions, see our page on Proceedings After the Appointment of a Guardian or Conservator. When the situation is serious, it is important to seek help quickly. Healthcare providers may be caught in the middle if you decide on one treatment and someone (the protected person's family, partner or friend) wants something different. Being an advocate can be difficult, especially when others object to the decisions you are making. Communication is essential. Talking about difficult topics with family members, healthcare providers, and others who are involved should help everyone focus on the protected person's needs, values and preferences. Conflicts may arise about the cost of the protected person's care or about how you are managing the protected person's estate. No one but the protected person has a right to the protected person's money and property during his or her lifetime. If anyone expresses concern about the cost of care or how you are managing the estate, consider their comments in light of what the protected person can afford and decisions that the protected person would make, but remember that you should manage the protected person's care for the protected person's benefit, not preserve the estate for others to inherit. Mediation may be a good way to settle conflicts. For more information, see our page on Mediation. Conflicts may arise with the protected person who has enough capacity to express a preference. Even a guardian or conservator with full authority should consult with the protected person, encourage him or her to participate in the decision making process, to make suggestions, and to express concerns, values and preferences. If the protected person's wishes will not cause harm, you should do as the protected person requests. You may gain the protected person's trust by explaining what you are doing and why. By discussing with the protected person what is going on, you will make the protected person feel included. Another way to reduce conflicts with the protected person is to give him or her responsibility in areas s/he can handle. If you feel the protected person would better accept the authority of someone else, you should consider asking the judge to let you resign and appoint someone else.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. ... Scripture Verse Images From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God's choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience, so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy. For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all. Scripture Verse Images 1 Timothy 4: 11- 14 “Get the word out. Teach all these things. And don’t let anyone put you down because you’re young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity. Stay at your post reading Scripture, giving counsel, teaching. And that special gift of ministry you were given when the leaders of the church laid hands on you and prayed—keep that dusted off and in use.” (The Message) Biblical Verses Image From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God's choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

Scripture Verse Images 4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, circumcise your hearts, you people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, or my wrath will flare up and burn like fire because of the evil you have done— burn with no one to quench it. 5 “Announce in Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem and say: ‘Sound the trumpet throughout the land!’ Cry aloud and say: ‘Gather together!

You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led. Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is accursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit. Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; ... Biblical Verses Image For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; ... Biblical Verses Image Then Asa took all the silver and the gold which were left in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the treasuries of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants And King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, saying, "Let there be a treaty between you and me, as between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you a present of silver and gold; go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me." Scripture Verse Images I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. ... Scripture Verse Images With a five-octave vocal range, Earnest Pugh is a powerhouse singer. He's appeared on networks like the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) and Black Entertainment Television (BET) as well as on stage, acting in major plays such as "Love the One You’re With," "Secret Lover" (Michael Matthews), "Crazy Love" (D'Atra Hicks) and "Real Men Pray" (Angela Barrow and Lizzie Berry). Scripture Verse Gift For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness. Scripture Verse Images And all the skillful men who were performing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work which he was performing, and they said to Moses, "The people are bringing much more than enough for the construction work which the LORD commanded us to perform." So Moses issued a command, and a proclamation was circulated throughout the camp, saying, "Let no man or woman any longer perform work for the contributions of the sanctuary." Thus the people were restrained from bringing any more. For the material they had was sufficient and more than enough for all the work, to perform it. Scripture Images "Three times in a year all your males shall appear before the LORD your God in the place which He chooses, at the Feast of Unleavened Bread and at the Feast of Weeks and at the Feast of Booths, and they shall not appear before the LORD empty-handed. "Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which He has given you. Biblical Verses Image The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. But this I say by way of concession, not of command. Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that. and not only this, but he has also been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work, which is being administered by us for the glory of the Lord Himself, and to show our readiness, taking precaution so that no one will discredit us in our administration of this generous gift; for we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen. Scripture Verse Images Jesus knew the heart and since He is God, He knows the thoughts and motives of every human heart for He is also the Creator. God looked at the religious leaders and knew that they were hypocrites because they taught one thing but did another as Jesus said “on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness” (Matt 23:28). They liked to be seen and wanted others to think highly of them but Jesus knew that inwardly they were as dead as could be and were full of all sorts of evil and uncleanliness. It is never what others think about us that’s important; it is only what God knows about us that counts. We might be able to fool others but we can never fool God because “Lord, you know everyone’s heart” (Acts 1:24) “for the LORD is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed” (1 Sam 2:3). Biblical Verses Image Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they?read more. Then Hazael king of Aram went up and fought against Gath and captured it, and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem. Jehoash king of Judah took all the sacred things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own sacred things and all the gold that was found among the treasuries of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent them to Hazael king of Aram. Then he went away from Jerusalem. Biblical Verses Image Now it happened at the turn of the year that the army of the Arameans came up against him; and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, destroyed all the officials of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus. Indeed the army of the Arameans came with a small number of men; yet the LORD delivered a very great army into their hands, because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers. Thus they executed judgment on Joash. Scripture Images and not only this, but he has also been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work, which is being administered by us for the glory of the Lord Himself, and to show our readiness, taking precaution so that no one will discredit us in our administration of this generous gift; for we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

Now if you are able to read the inscription and make its interpretation known to me, you will be clothed with purple and wear a necklace of gold around your neck, and you will have authority as the third ruler in the kingdom." Then Daniel answered and said before the king, "Keep your gifts for yourself or give your rewards to someone else; however, I will read the inscription to the king and make the interpretation known to him. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; ... "Accept these things from them, that they may be used in the service of the tent of meeting, and you shall give them to the Levites, to each man according to his service." So Moses took the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levites. Two carts and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service, and four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. But he did not give any to the sons of Kohath because theirs was the service of the holy objects, which they carried on the shoulder.

He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. ... For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery--so that you will not be wise in your own estimation--that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, "THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB."

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, read more. 1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Biblical Verses Image For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness. Scripture Verse Images I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Scripture Verse Images From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God's choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience, so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy. For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.

We might be able to fool others but we can never fool God because “Lord, you know everyone’s heart” (Acts 1:24) “for the LORD is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed” (1 Sam 2:3). Biblical Verses Image God has made us exactly the way that it pleased Him and we all must remember that God has chosen the weak and the base of the world (1 Cor 1:27) and what the world considers despised and lowly (1 Cor 1:28) is important to God and that’s all that matters, isn’t it? He looks at the inward parts of the human heart, not the outward appearance, so don’t worry about what the body looks like, be concerned with the things that God sees because in the end, that’s all that’s important and that’s all that really matters. What others think is nothing…what God knows is everything.

Baseline magazine By Rick Maurer 2010-12-21 The Change Management Process's ActivitiesImage via WikipediaNearly 70 percent of all the changes in organizations fail—and IT is not immune from that alarming statistic. Every day, good ideas die before they ever get started, and organizations go through the motions of adopting a new system but actually keep using their old system. Obviously, all these failures are costly, but they are more than that. Repeated failures can kill an IT department’s reputation. This happened frequently in the past, when IT professionals overwhelmed clients with technical jargon and got them to agree to implement things they didn’t understand. Change Management process ITILImage via WikipediaWhen the dust settled, many of those projects failed. … Understandably, these failures left a bitter taste in the mouths of potential users of IT services. Savvy technology departments have learned from those mistakes. Here are three actions that can help IT leaders build support for their ideas and projects: 1. Speak so they’ll understand you. Smart IT professionals don’t make the client speak computerese. Instead, they use plain everyday speech. This helps internal customers understand your project and become engaged in the process. … 2. Listen and learn. Smart IT leaders are willing to be influenced. They realize that the internal clients are the real experts when it comes to what they need. The clients may not know what to ask for in terms of process, but they usually know what they want to have happen differently as a result of all this effort. … The willingness to listen to and be influenced by others may sound simple, but it’s the foundation on which business relationships are built. The clients trust that you won’t try to sell them a solution they don’t need. Consequently, when you do have an idea that could help their productivity or their bottom line, they are far more willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. 3. It’s the people who matter. Smart IT leaders know that technical changes start and end with people. … … Some IT professionals inundate people with PowerPoint slides By communicating with their clients, IT leaders can find out why people resist change and why they support it. They can predict how the mere mention of a new enterprisewide system is likely to go over in a specific organization. And they know how to use that knowledge to create strategies that build support for change. Change is difficult, but it's not impossible. IT professionals who understand that the soft stuff is really the hard stuff get more of their ideas across. Rick Maurer is a change management expert, speaker and adviser.

-8,464,254,957,856,564,000	My adventures in the woods, streams, rivers, fields, and lakes of Michigan Michigan Kayaking trips This will end up being a page of links to other pages I do which will detail some of the kayaking trips I have done, with information on the rivers, put in and take out spots, length of trip, etc. For now, it is a place holder for me to use to build what I have planned. Until then, below are links to posts I wrote about my kayak trips in 2010. These aren’t complete as far as all the information I plan to add to the pages that will be added here, but it’s a start. Kayak trips in 2011. Muskegon Lake Muskegon Lake again The Little Muskegon River from Altona to Morley Screaming down Michigan’s lower Rogue River Kayaking the middle leg of the Little Muskegon The lower Rogue River again.

7,379,072,304,998,092,000	Marked! When Mood Music 2013-05-15 19:00:00 pleased none The marks for the second coursework for the Management of Software Projects module have just been released. Dear Bruce This email gives you your marks and some individual feedback on your submitted Coursework. Thank you for the effort you put into this piece of work. Further detailed comments and feedback on your submission can be found on TurnItIn’s Grademark. (This is an experiment – your feedback would be useful). You are of course also welcome to contact me for further individual feedback. Kind regards <Lecturer-name> Name: Ryan, Bruce Matric Number 40070877 INF11103 Management of Software Projects – Coursework 2 marks and feedback Marking grid Weighting Overall Comments As usual, a huge amount of work has clearly gone into this, but there is still some work to do in communicating it in fluent English. Abstract, Introduction and contextual discussion 10 P5 Sets out context and content of the paper well. Be clearer about what the paper is aiming to achieve though. Research activity, range of materials used and topic coverage. 10 D2 Excellent range of sources, though I would avoid using multiple papers from the same author if they are all saying much the same thing Synthesis and analysis of the main issue under discussion 20 D1 Excellent – You cover a lot of ground. However sometimes there is a sense of getting lost in the details. Discussion of topic and conclusions drawn within the wider ERP context 20 D1 Excellent insights Presentation and readability, structure, referencing 10 P5 Good presentation though I would suggest fewer subheadings would help improve the flow of argument Overall total D1 – Excellent Assessment comment grid. This work Meets the specification given Ex Explanation Ex – Excellent Gd – Good OK – OK / Satisfactory Pr – Poor Un – Missing / unattempted Treats topics in depth Ex Is evaluative/analytical rather than descriptive Ex Justifies/illustrates its arguments well Ex Uses an impersonal/academic writing style Ex Is fluent, succinct and grammatical OK Has few spelling / typing errors Ex Is well set out in an appropriate format Ex Organises the material appropriately OK Uses a good range of appropriate sources Ex Consistently applies an approved referencing system Ex I’m well aware how turgid my English can be, even for academic writing. I think this will be with me until they nail the lid down. Unfortunately I can’t yet download the annotated piece from Moodle (Napier’s virtual learning environment), so I may well end up copying and pasting annotations into a local copy. The unannotated version is here. So it appears I’ve passed this module. If so, I now have enough taught-module credits for the MSc. (I took an extra module this in the second term of 2011-12.) I won’t update the infographic until the module mark is released.

4,734,860,810,414,323,000	The desalination plant at Tugun. The desalination plant at Tugun. Qld water charges going up to pay off Labor's $7b grid WATER charges will go up by about $49 a year in Queensland from July 1 as the Newman government battles to pay off billions of dollars worth of infrastructure. The charge applies to average households using 200 kilolitres of water a year. Water Supply Minister Mark McArdle said the average increase in the cost of bulk water per SEQ household was well below the $83 that would have been required without the intervention of his government. "Bulk water revenue pays for dams, treatment plants and the Gold Coast Desalination Plant which provides critical water supply in emergencies," he said. Mr McArdle said it was important to recognise that Seqwater did not make a profit and no returns were provided to the State. "Even with this increase, the bulk water price will not cover the cost of producing it, due to the debt from the former government," he said. "These new prices mean that bulk water will continue to be sold at a loss of more than $150 million this year, " he said. "Reforms by the Newman Government could have reduced the bulk water price further, had the former Labor Government used more accurate water consumption forecasts in determining the bulk water price path." Mr McArdle said the future price path, implemented by the former Bligh Government, included a $54 increase for 2013/2014, based on consumption forecasts of 200 litres per person per day. "But with the actual consumption figures of around 155 litres per person per day (Seqwater Annual Report, 2012) the erroneous forecasts mean the real increase would have been $83." Mr McArdle said to minimise any price increase, the Newman Government stopped construction of the Wyaralong Water Treatment Plant and associated pipelines, saving around $500 million. "Sadly, SEQ households are paying for Labor's $7 billion debt from unbuilt dams, an unnecessary Recycled Water Treatment Plant and dams not connected to water supply," he said. Mr McArdle said the same increase would apply to the 2014-15 financial year except for Somerset, which would have a lower increase as it would have reached the final SEQ-wide bulk water price path. All council areas will reach this final price by 2017-18. "The Newman Government is committed to tackling the rising cost of living and has provided a one-off $80 rebate to approximately 1.1 million SEQ households, through a direct reduction on their water bill in early 2013," he said. "In addition, SEQ's three bulk water entities were amalgamated and the Queensland Water Commission abolished in January. "The decision has also been made to 'mothball' the Western Corridor Recycled Water Scheme, but maintain the asset so it can be 'ramped up' should water storage levels fall below critical levels. "This approach will produce immediate cost savings. "The Government and Seqwater will continue to identify more ways to reduce bulk water supply costs in SEQ and work closely with the SEQ Council-owned water businesses to reduce the cost of delivering water and sewerage services."

Each household's income is compared to the incomes of all other households in the area. This is accomplished through a statistic established by the government called the Area Median Income, most often referred to as AMI. The AMI is calculated and published each year by HUD. HUD often uses an area larger than a city to determine the AMI because HUD anticipates those searching for housing will look beyond individual cities during their housing search. For North Great River, the AMI is calculated from all households within Suffolk County. In North Great River, HUD calculates the Area Median Income for a family of four as $124,000 Most affordable housing programs determine eligibility based on the percent of AMI a given household's income is. Among the programs that determine eligibility based on the AMI are Section 8, HOME, LIHTC, Section 515, 202 and 811. Rental Assistance in North Great River Rental assistance is a type of housing subsidy that pays for a portion of a renter’s monthly housing costs, including rent and tenant paid utilities. This housing assistance can come in the form of Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, project-based Section 8 contracts, public housing, USDA Rental Assistance (in Section 515 properties) as well as HUD Section 202 and 811 properties for elderly and disabled households.

However, Affordable apartment communities that receive funding through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program may have rental units that are not subject to income and rent limits. Rent limits for the LIHTC Program are determined so that a household making the maximum income for the expected household size of the unit would only pay 30% of their income for rent.

Fifteen-year-old Olivier Deldicque is on a mission to change that. His new book, “When Every Bite Matters: One Teen’s Journey with Food Allergies” (ISBN: 978-0578418537; Pop Fly Publishing) outlines life saving tips and advice for teens coping with food allergies. Living with life-threatening food allergies himself, Deldicque’s goal is to make his book available to all food allergic teens, especially the newly diagnosed. “I wrote the book I wish someone had given me,” Deldicque stated. “It’s hard enough being a teenager but having life threatening food allergies complicates life even more. My story reminds other teens they aren’t alone. I want to decrease anxiety among teens and their families and show that it’s possible to lead a “normal” life while managing allergies. I have allergies but I still go to parties, play sports, eat out and travel.” An estimated 32 million Americans have food allergies including 5.6 million under the age of 18. Incidents of food allergies are on the rise. A Centers for Disease Control study found food allergies in children rose 50 percent between 1997-2011. The teenage demographic presents unique risks. “Many factors converge during the teenage years that make it more dangerous for allergic reactions. Teens are becoming more independent and start to manage their allergies themselves rather than always having a parent around watching out for them. Teens are also more likely to engage in risky behavior. At the same time, they don’t want to draw attention to themselves by talking about their allergies or carrying their medication. This can be deadly,” Deldicque warns. “When Every Bite Matters” includes information on how food allergic teens can navigate social activities, dining out, traveling, deciphering food labels and finding the support they need. While written with food allergic teens in mind, Deldicque says his target audience is broader: “My book is important for anyone who has a friend or family member with food allergies. The more people understand and the more information we share about food allergies will save lives and hopefully bring us closer to more treatments and a possible cure.” “When Every Bite Matters” is currently available at Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0578418533/.

The latter played the part of Dr Madeleine Swann, and Black Box's set purports to provide what is necessary to kitbash that character in sixth scale. With so much time having passed and so many other films having been seen, I barely remembered Spectre, but the promotional images for this set caught my attention. I ordered it even after I saw a brief review/caution by an eBay customer that the product does not match the promotional images exactly. And I am happy I did. The product is quite nice, even if it is not an exact replica of either the onscreen appearance of the character nor the promotional images; rather it is like one of those Hollywood epics that are "inspired" by a true story (or an actual piece of literature). Given that this is not a complete action figure set in the normal sense of the word, I am foregoing any ratings for the various categories. Topics tagged under blackbox on OneSixthFigures Bbtsg011 Packaging The set comes in a basic white rectangular box. The head sculpt is carefully tucked inside a little plastic bag and an inner, smaller rectangular box within; the larger box also contains the dress and the handgun. Everything is safe and collector friendly. Topics tagged under blackbox on OneSixthFigures Bbtsg012 Sculpting In and of themselves, the sculpt of the head and the accessories (handgun and detachable box magazine) are excellent, with plenty of precise detail (including an inscription on the gun handle). Whether or not the head sculpt is a spot on likeness of actress Lea Seydoux is harder to tell. Certainly, Black Box got plenty right, including the characteristic shape of the nose and the specific curved edges of different parts of her face. While I assume it is mostly an impression caused by the paint application, it is possible that the eyes have been sculpted a little too big/open and just a little too close together. The hair is rooted and generally pretty fine. In the promotional images it was darker and I liked that look even better, but the product comes with a mid- to dark blond hair that was more accurate to the appearance on screen. The hair style is a bit longer than what we saw in the film, perhaps because of the difficulty of making it look right if it were a bit shorter. I don't know if this is an issue limited to my own set, but the hair wig has been placed in such a way that if you brush the hair back over the right ear (as seen in the film), you would end up seeing the way the wig attaches (or not quite) to the face. Topics tagged under blackbox on OneSixthFigures Bbtsg013 Topics tagged under blackbox on OneSixthFigures Bbtsg014 Paint Here is where things get a bit trickier. The paint job is fine and precise, which is generally a good thing. The gun and its box magazine don't look weathered, but the first bullet in the box magazine looks metal and brass-colored, and the chamber (?) looks metal and silverish-colored. The eyelashes and eyebrow hair strands are painted individually which, combined with the large eyes and eye shadow give a doll-like effect. It is the eyes that throw off the likeness, as far as I can tell. The actress rarely opens her eyes this much, and she rarely wears this much eye shadow. As a result, the likeness suffers, although the visual effect is beautiful. On the head sculpt that came with my set the eyes are painted a little misaligned, but you have to look carefully to notice. Topics tagged under blackbox on OneSixthFigures Bbtsg110 Articulation The set comes without a body, so the articulation would depend on whatever body you use for your kitbash. I tried the head and dress on both a TBLeague/Phicen S17B and an Jiaou Doll 3.0 detachable feet KT; the head worked fine with both, but I stuck with the Jiaou body because it happened to have a fuller bust that looked better with the cut of the dress (see below). There is no restriction on any of the articulation except the degree to which the legs can spread sideways (because of the dress, wide stances would be impossible). Topics tagged under blackbox on OneSixthFigures Bbtssg10 Accessories Depending on how you count, the figure comes with only one or two accessories: the handgun and the detachable box magazine. They are sculpted perfectly well and painted very well, perhaps too cleanly (if you like your guns weathered). But she is a neat lady dressed to kill, so we can only assume her gun would be kept in perfect condition. The box magazine can slide in and out of the gun's handle just fine, and the first bullet at the top is sculpted and painted perfectly. The slide of the gun is also articulated. Topics tagged under blackbox on OneSixthFigures Bbtsg111 Outfit The outfit consists of a single item, the slinky white dress the character wore in the film (HERE). While the fabric does not quite move the right way and the proportions are not quite right, it is a brave effort and conveys the general look. The dress opens and closes with a velcro section along the left seam. For the most part it works well and nearly seamlessly, but at times the seam turns and becomes more apparent, looking like the dress is about to rip open. Another problem is the way the back of the dress drapes (or rather fails to drape naturally) over the small of her back. Perhaps some water treatment might overcome this problem, but it will not work right straight out of the box. Whatever body was used on the promotional images appeared to work better with the dress than the ones I tried. The main problem is that the high waist is a bit too low and the dress appears to be designed for a taller and larger-busted body than would have been appropriate for the character/actress. My Jiaou Doll's 3.0 KT body worked reasonably well, but it is hardly perfect for the reasons mentioned above. The taller female bodies, especially on heels, fit best; but in terms of screen accuracy it may help to leave her without the shoes (which would not really show because of the long flowing dress anyway). If you are getting this set, remember to have one of the taller and larger-busted bodies available for it; the petite and middle-busted bodies will not work well with the outfit. Topics tagged under blackbox on OneSixthFigures Bbtsg015 In the image below she is not wearing shoes and the kitbashed James Bond uses a Soldier Story body: Topics tagged under blackbox on OneSixthFigures Bbtsg113 Fun Factor and Overall The set has all the fun factor that a stunningly beautiful elegant female figure could bring to your sixth-scale collection, complete with its intended compatibility with a Daniel Craig James Bond (or any other of your choice). But if you wanted a perfect representation of Madeleine Swann or of Lea Seydoux, you might be somewhat disappointed. As always, I hope this has been useful and am curious what you think. Topics tagged under blackbox on OneSixthFigures Bbtsg016 Things to watch out for Not a thing, provided you know how to handle high end action figures and accessories reasonably well.

Between two boxed sets and three loose head sculpts, I have picked up five of the six. The one that got away is Redman Toys' driver, which I never sought out after some disappointing reviews and photos, featuring what looked like some very roughly sculpted hair strands. Roughly in chronological order, the five Ryan Goslings here are: 1. DID LAPD SWAT Assaulter Driver (boxed set) 2. K-Hobby (head sculpt only) 3. BBK Drive (boxed set) 4.

The Replicant Killer head sculpt by Blackbox suffers in part from the atypical darker hair color and the different, relatively unfamiliar more wearied look of the actor, and has been received some dismissive comments. While I agree that something is off (again, especially in the frontal look), I am impressed by the extremely fine texturing of the skin and hair on this (most?) recent head sculpt.

She was practical and hard-working. She knew the value of a dollar, could make one and keep one, sometimes--fate permitting. Fate was usually Sam and Sam was Polly's husband. Any morning at six o'clock she might be seen, basket on arm, wending her way to the homes of her wealthy patrons for the purpose of bringing in their washing, for by this means did she gain her livelihood. She had been a person of hard common sense, which suffered its greatest lapse when she allied herself with the man whose name she bore. After that the lapses were more frequent. How she could ever have done so no one on earth could tell. Sam was her exact opposite. He was an easy-going, happy-go-lucky individual, who worked only when occasion demanded and inclination and the weather permitted. The weather was usually more acquiescent than inclination. He was sanguine of temperament, highly imaginative and a dreamer of dreams. Indeed, he just missed being a poet. A man who dreams takes either to poetry or policy. Not being able quite to reach the former, Sam had declined upon the latter, and, instead of meter, feet and rhyme, his mind was taken up with "hosses," "gigs" and "straddles." He was always "jes' behin' dem policy sha'ks, an' I'll be boun', Polly, but I gwine to ketch 'em dis time." Polly heard this and saw the same result so often that even her stalwart faith began to turn into doubt. But Sam continued to reassure her and promise that some day luck would change. "An' when hit do change," he would add, impressively, "it's gwine change fu' sho', an' we'll have one wakenin' up time. Den I bet you'll git dat silk dress you been wantin' so long." Polly did have ambitions in the direction of some such finery, and this plea always melted her. Trust was restored again, and Hope resumed her accustomed place. It was, however, not through the successful culmination of any of Sam's policy manipulations that the opportunity at last came to Polly to realize her ambitions. A lady for whom she worked had a second-hand silk dress, which she was willing to sell cheap. Another woman had spoken for it, but if Polly could get the money in three weeks she would let her have it for seven dollars. To say that the companion of Sam Jackson jumped at the offer hardly indicates the attitude of eagerness with which she received the proposition. "Yas'm, I kin sholy git dat much money together in th'ee weeks de way I's a-wo'kin'." "Well, now, Polly, be sure; for if you are not prompt I shall have to dispose of it where it was first promised," was the admonition. "Oh, you kin 'pend on me, Mis' Mo'ton; fu' when I sets out to save money I kin save, I tell you." Polly was not usually so sanguine, but what changes will not the notion of the possession of a brown silk dress trimmed with passementrie make in the disposition of a woman? Polly let Sam into the secret, and, be it said to his credit, he entered into the plan with an enthusiasm no less intense than her own. He had always wanted to see her in a silk dress, he told her, and then in a quizzically injured tone of voice, "but you ought to waited tell I ketched dem policy sha'ks an' I'd 'a' got you a new one." He even went so far as to go to work for a week and bring Polly his earnings, of course, after certain "little debts" which he mentioned but did not specify, had been deducted. But in spite of all this, when washing isn't bringing an especially good price; when one must eat and food is high; when a grasping landlord comes around once every week and exacts tribute for the privilege of breathing foul air from an alley in a room up four flights; when, I say, all this is true, and it generally is true in the New York tenderloin, seven whole dollars are not easily saved. There was much raking and scraping and pinching during each day that at night Polly might add a few nickels or pennies to the store that jingled in a blue jug in one corner of her closet. She called it her bank, and Sam had laughed at the conceit, telling her that that was one bank anyhow that couldn't "bust." As the days went on how she counted her savings and exulted in their growth! She already saw herself decked out in her new gown, the envy and admiration of every woman in the neighborhood. She even began to wish that she had a full-length glass in order that she might get the complete effect of her own magnificence. So saving, hoping, dreaming, the time went on until a few days before the limit, and there was only about a dollar to be added to make the required amount. This she could do easily in the remaining time. So Polly was jubilant. Now everything would have been all right and matters would have ended happily if Sam had only kept on at work. But, no. He must needs stop, and give his mind the chance to be employed with other things. And that is just what happened. For about this time, having nothing else to do, like that old king of Bible renown, he dreamed a dream. But unlike the royal dreamer, he asked no seer or prophet to interpret his dream to him. He merely drove his hand down into his inside pocket, and fished up an ancient dream-book, greasy and tattered with use. Over this he pored until his eyes bulged and his hands shook with excitement. "Got 'em at last!" he exclaimed. "Dey ain't no way fu' dem to git away f'om me. I's behind 'em. I's behind 'em I tell you," and then his face fell and he sat for a long time with his chin in his hand thinking, thinking. "Polly," said he when his wife came in, "d'you know what I dremp 'bout las' night?" "La! Sam Jackson, you ain't gone to dreamin' agin. I thought you done quit all dat foolishness." "Now jes' listen at you runnin' on. You ain't never axed me what I dremp 'bout yit." "Hit don' make much diffunce to me, less 'n you kin dream 'bout a dollah mo' into my pocket." "Dey has been sich things did," said Sam sententiously. He got up and went out. If there is one thing above another that your professional dreamer does demand, it is appreciation. Sam had failed to get it from Polly, but he found a balm for all his hurts when he met Bob Davis. "What!" exclaimed Bob. "Dreamed of a nakid black man. Fu' de Lawd sake, Sam, don' let de chance pass. You got 'em dis time sho'. I'll put somep'n' on it myse'f. Wha'd you think ef we'd win de 'capital'?" That was enough. The two parted and Sam hurried home. He crept into the house. Polly was busy hanging clothes on the roof. Where now are the guardian spirits that look after the welfare of trusting women? Where now are the enchanted belongings that even in the hands of the thief cry out to their unsuspecting owners? Gone. All gone with the ages of faith that gave them birth. Without an outcry, without even so much as a warning jingle, the contents of the blue jug and the embodied hope of a woman's heart were transferred to the gaping pocket of Sam Jackson. Polly went on hanging up clothes on the roof. Sam chuckled to himself: "She won't never have a chanst to scol' me. I'll git de drawin's early dis evenin', an' go ma'chin' home wif a new silk fu' huh, an' money besides. I do' want my wife waihin' no white folks' secon'-han' clothes nohow. My, but won't she be su'prised an' tickled. I kin jes' see huh now. Oh, mistah policy-sha'k, I got you now. I been layin' fu' you fu' a long time, but you's my meat at las'." He marched into the policy shop like a conqueror. To the amazement of the clerk, he turned out a pocketful of small coin on the table and played it all in "gigs," "straddles and combinations." "I'll call on you about ha' pas' fou', Mr. McFadden," he announced exultantly as he went out. "Faith, sor," said McFadden to his colleague, "if that nagur does ketch it he'll break us, sure." Sam could hardly wait for half-past four. A minute before the time he burst in upon McFadden and demanded the drawings. They were handed to him. He held his breath as his eye went down the column of figures. Then he gasped and staggered weakly out of the room. The policy sharks had triumphed again. Sam walked the streets until nine o'clock that night. He was afraid to go home to Polly. He knew that she had been to the jug and found--. He groaned, but at last his very helplessness drove him in. Polly, with swollen eyes, was sitting by the table, the empty jug lying on its side before her. "Sam," she exclaimed, "whaih's my money? Whaih's my money I been wo'kin' fu' all dis time?" "Why--Why, Polly--" "Don' go beatin' 'roun' de bush. I want 'o know whaih my money is; you tuck it." "Polly, I dremp--" "I do' keer what you dremp, I want my money fu' my dress." His face was miserable. "I thought sho' dem numbers 'u'd come out, an'--" The woman flung herself upon the floor and burst into a storm of tears. Sam bent over her. "Nemmine, Polly," he said. "Nemmine. I thought I'd su'prise you. Dey beat me dis time." His teeth clenched. "But when I ketch dem policy sha'ks--" (The end) Paul Laurence Dunbar's short story: Trustfulness Of Polly If you like this book please share to your friends : NEXT BOOKS A Mess Of Pottage A Mess Of Pottage A Mess Of Pottage It was because the Democratic candidate for Governor was such an energetic man that he had been able to stir Little Africa, which was a Republican stronghold, from centre to circumference.

Instead of giving them a chance to attack him, he went directly into their camp, leaving discontent and disaffection among their allies. He believed in his principles.

The latter played the part of Dr Madeleine Swann, and Black Box's set purports to provide what is necessary to kitbash that character in sixth scale. With so much time having passed and so many other films having been seen, I barely remembered Spectre, but the promotional images for this set caught my attention. I ordered it even after I saw a brief review/caution by an eBay customer that the product does not match the promotional images exactly. And I am happy I did. The product is quite nice, even if it is not an exact replica of either the onscreen appearance of the character nor the promotional images; rather it is like one of those Hollywood epics that are "inspired" by a true story (or an actual piece of literature). Given that this is not a complete action figure set in the normal sense of the word, I am foregoing any ratings for the various categories. --- ### Packaging The set comes in a basic white rectangular box. The head sculpt is carefully tucked inside a little plastic bag and an inner, smaller rectangular box within; the larger box also contains the dress and the handgun. Everything is safe and collector friendly. --- ### Sculpting In and of themselves, the sculpt of the head and the accessories (handgun and detachable box magazine) are excellent, with plenty of precise detail (including an inscription on the gun handle). Whether or not the head sculpt is a spot-on likeness of actress Léa Seydoux is harder to tell. Certainly, Black Box got plenty right, including the characteristic shape of the nose and the specific curved edges of different parts of her face. While I assume it is mostly an impression caused by the paint application, it is possible that the eyes have been sculpted a little too big/open and just a little too close together. The hair is rooted and generally pretty fine. In the promotional images it was darker and I liked that look even better, but the product comes with a mid- to dark-blond hair that was more accurate to the appearance on screen. The hair style is a bit longer than what we saw in the film, perhaps because of the difficulty of making it look right if it were a bit shorter. I don't know if this is an issue limited to my own set, but the hair wig has been placed in such a way that if you brush the hair back over the right ear (as seen in the film), you would end up seeing the way the wig attaches (or not quite) to the face. --- ### Paint Here is where things get a bit trickier. The paint job is fine and precise, which is generally a good thing. The gun and its box magazine don't look weathered, but the first bullet in the box magazine looks metal and brass-colored, and the chamber (?) looks metal and silverish-colored. The eyelashes and eyebrow hair strands are painted individually which, combined with the large eyes and eye shadow give a doll-like effect. It is the eyes that throw off the likeness, as far as I can tell. The actress rarely opens her eyes this much, and she rarely wears this much eye shadow. As a result, the likeness suffers, although the visual effect is beautiful. On the head sculpt that came with my set the eyes are painted a little misaligned, but you have to look carefully to notice. --- ### Articulation The set comes without a body, so the articulation would depend on whatever body you use for your kitbash. I tried the head and dress on both a TBLeague/Phicen S17B and a Jiaou Doll 3.0 detachable-feet KT; the head worked fine with both, but I stuck with the Jiaou body because it happened to have a fuller bust that looked better with the cut of the dress (see below). There is no restriction on any of the articulation except the degree to which the legs can spread sideways (because of the dress, wide stances would be impossible). --- ### Accessories Depending on how you count, the figure comes with only one or two accessories: the handgun and the detachable box magazine. They are sculpted perfectly well and painted very well, perhaps too cleanly (if you like your guns weathered). But she is a neat lady dressed to kill, so we can only assume her gun would be kept in perfect condition. The box magazine can slide in and out of the gun's handle just fine, and the first bullet at the top is sculpted and painted perfectly. The slide of the gun is also articulated. --- ### Outfit The outfit consists of a single item, the slinky white dress the character wore in the film. While the fabric does not quite move the right way and the proportions are not quite right, it is a brave effort and conveys the general look. The dress opens and closes with a velcro section along the left seam. For the most part it works well and nearly seamlessly, but at times the seam turns and becomes more apparent, looking like the dress is about to rip open. Another problem is the way the back of the dress drapes (or rather fails to drape naturally) over the small of her back. Perhaps some water treatment might overcome this problem, but it will not work right straight out of the box. Whatever body was used on the promotional images appeared to work better with the dress than the ones I tried. The main problem is that the high waist is a bit too low and the dress appears to be designed for a taller and larger-busted body than would have been appropriate for the character/actress. My Jiaou Doll’s 3.0 KT body worked reasonably well, but it is hardly perfect for the reasons mentioned above. The taller female bodies, especially on heels, fit best; but in terms of screen accuracy it may help to leave her without the shoes (which would not really show because of the long flowing dress anyway). If you are getting this set, remember to have one of the taller and larger-busted bodies available for it; the petite and middle-busted bodies will not work well with the outfit. --- ### Fun Factor and Overall The set has all the fun factor that a stunningly beautiful elegant female figure could bring to your sixth-scale collection, complete with its intended compatibility with a Daniel Craig James Bond (or any other of your choice). But if you wanted a perfect representation of Madeleine Swann or of Léa Seydoux, you might be somewhat disappointed. As always, I hope this has been useful and am curious what you think. --- ### Things to watch out for Not a thing, provided you know how to handle high-end action figures and accessories reasonably well. --- ### Where to buy - Various eBay sellers (search for “Black Box” and “Lea Seydoux” or “Spectre Girl”) - Cotswold Collectibles – $58 - Timewalker Toys – $60 # Product Review: Five Ryan Gosling Head Sculpts Actor Ryan Gosling has been in a large number of films and, although he has not portrayed a major blockbuster superhero (unless I'm having a senior moment as I write this), has received at least six sixth-scale treatments.

As the days went on how she counted her savings and exulted in their growth! She already saw herself decked out in her new gown, the envy and admiration of every woman in the neighborhood. She even began to wish that she had a full-length glass in order that she might get the complete effect of her own magnificence. So saving, hoping, dreaming, the time went on until a few days before the limit, and there was only about a dollar to be added to make the required amount. This she could do easily in the remaining time. So Polly was jubilant. Now everything would have been all right and matters would have ended happily if Sam had only kept on at work. But, no. He must needs stop, and give his mind the chance to be employed with other things. And that is just what happened. For about this time, having nothing else to do, like that old king of Bible renown, he dreamed a dream. But unlike the royal dreamer, he asked no seer or prophet to interpret his dream to him. He merely drove his hand down into his inside pocket, and fished up an ancient dream-book, greasy and tattered with use. Over this he pored until his eyes bulged and his hands shook with excitement. "Got 'em at last!" he exclaimed. "Dey ain't no way fu' dem to git away f'om me. I's behind 'em. I's behind 'em I tell you," and then his face fell and he sat for a long time with his chin in his hand thinking, thinking. "Polly," said he when his wife came in, "d'you know what I dremp 'bout las' night?" "La! Sam Jackson, you ain't gone to dreamin' agin. I thought you done quit all dat foolishness." "Now jes' listen at you runnin' on. You ain't never axed me what I dremp 'bout yit." "Hit don' make much diffunce to me, less 'n you kin dream 'bout a dollah mo' into my pocket." "Dey has been sich things did," said Sam sententiously. He got up and went out. If there is one thing above another that your professional dreamer does demand, it is appreciation. Sam had failed to get it from Polly, but he found a balm for all his hurts when he met Bob Davis. "What!" exclaimed Bob. "Dreamed of a nakid black man. Fu' de Lawd sake, Sam, don' let de chance pass. You got 'em dis time sho'. I'll put somep'n' on it myse'f. Wha'd you think ef we'd win de 'capital'?" That was enough. The two parted and Sam hurried home. He crept into the house. Polly was busy hanging clothes on the roof. Where now are the guardian spirits that look after the welfare of trusting women? Where now are the enchanted belongings that even in the hands of the thief cry out to their unsuspecting owners? Gone. All gone with the ages of faith that gave them birth. Without an outcry, without even so much as a warning jingle, the contents of the blue jug and the embodied hope of a woman's heart were transferred to the gaping pocket of Sam Jackson. Polly went on hanging up clothes on the roof. Sam chuckled to himself: "She won't never have a chanst to scol' me. I'll git de drawin's early dis evenin', an' go ma'chin' home wif a new silk fu' huh, an' money besides. I do' want my wife waihin' no white folks' secon'-han' clothes nohow. My, but won't she be su'prised an' tickled. I kin jes' see huh now. Oh, mistah policy-sha'k, I got you now. I been layin' fu' you fu' a long time, but you's my meat at las'." He marched into the policy shop like a conqueror. To the amazement of the clerk, he turned out a pocketful of small coin on the table and played it all in "gigs," "straddles and combinations." "I'll call on you about ha' pas' fou', Mr. McFadden," he announced exultantly as he went out. "Faith, sor," said McFadden to his colleague, "if that nagur does ketch it he'll break us, sure." Sam could hardly wait for half-past four. A minute before the time he burst in upon McFadden and demanded the drawings. They were handed to him. He held his breath as his eye went down the column of figures. Then he gasped and staggered weakly out of the room. The policy sharks had triumphed again. Sam walked the streets until nine o'clock that night. He was afraid to go home to Polly. He knew that she had been to the jug and found—. He groaned, but at last his very helplessness drove him in. Polly, with swollen eyes, was sitting by the table, the empty jug lying on its side before her. "Sam," she exclaimed, "whaih's my money? Whaih's my money I been wo'kin' fu' all dis time?" "Why—Why, Polly—" "Don' go beatin' 'roun' de bush. I want 'o know whaih my money is; you tuck it." "Polly, I dremp—" "I do' keer what you dremp, I want my money fu' my dress." His face was miserable. "I thought sho' dem numbers 'u'd come out, an'—" The woman flung herself upon the floor and burst into a storm of tears. Sam bent over her. "Nemmine, Polly," he said. "Nemmine. I thought I'd su'prise you. Dey beat me dis time." His teeth clenched. "But when I ketch dem policy sha'ks—" (The end)	7,954	4,756	5,352,165,330,369,922,000	concat	[ "concat_full" ]	0.75	true	null

Sports betting should be a little different in every region and in every state. Football may always be the most popular sport for gamblers but basketball could be a little more popular on the east coast than Nevada. In addition to regional preferences, Atlantic City and much of southern New Jersey is considered a sports suburb for Philadelphia sports teams. TV’s are always turned into 76ers, Phillies, Eagles, and Flyers games. The NBA might be the most prestigious and popular basketball league in the world but it certainly isn’t the only one. Professional basketball leagues thrive all over the world and the best basketball bookmakers make sure that they offer as many of them as possible. Be it one of the many European leagues, Asian leagues, or African leagues, bookies pull out all the stops to satisfy the growing number of fans. Punters really love the competitive odds, live streaming, in-play betting, and the plethora of dedicated promotions the basketball betting fans get. There are several bookies that offer a wide variety of markets, easy payment methods, and fast payouts. Most wins by any single pitcher will carry less emphasis moving forward. Thus offering starters a number of sabbaticals throughout a season will become more common. If for nothing else to simply reduce the number of innings across a 162-game season. Especially for a team that figures to be a part of the playoffs which expands the wear and tear on a pitchers arm. The cost of my College football service is $895, the cost of the NFL service is $995 ($1,595 for both services), my Basketball service is $895 ($2,195 for all Football and Dr. Bob’s Basketball service), and the NBA Guru subscription is well worth the $1495 given how profitable he’s been ($3,295 for all Football and all Basketball, including the NBA Guru). You must factor in that cost when calculating your expected return on investment (ROI). As explained above, winning 55% on the Football Best Bets and 53.5% on my Basketball Best Bets would yield an expected profit of +45.5 Stars and let’s assume the NBA Guru profits +27.2 Stars as well (he’s averaged +27.2 Stars per season). Let’s say you decide to play 1.0% of your initial bankroll per star on the Football Best Bets and NBA Guru Best Bets and 0.8% per star on the Basketball Best Bets, as in the example above. Doing so would have an expected total return 68.0% per year based on flat-betting using your initial bankroll. Using an optimal betting strategy, as explained in the advanced money management section, would yield even higher long term returns while protecting the downside risk in the inevitable negative variance seasons that plague even the best long term handicappers.

Whether you are someone who likes a lot of action or wants to take a more selective approach, we are confident that we have an expert who can help you start crushing the books on a more consistent basis. For many states that don’t have regulated laws regarding sports gambling, residents turn to daily fantasy sports as an alternative means to bet. However, Arizona residents do not have that option. While many argue that DFS is a game of skill, based on the analytical research needed to make picks, AZ lawmakers claim that it is a game of chance and therefore prohibited. There are currently no DFS sites that will accept Arizona residents and these include DraftKings and FanDuel. Not even Fantasy Draft or Yahoo will risk allowing AZ residents to sign up. The good news is traditional and legal Arizona sports betting can still be had at online offshore sportsbooks and many of them offer contests similar to DFS sites. Virginia appears to be a potentially serious player on the sports betting front for 2019. The latest news coming out of the state involves an online-only sports betting bill pre-filed for next year’s legislative session by Delegate Mark Sickles. The proposed legislation, House Bill 1638 would repeal Virginia’s current ban on both sports betting and online lottery ticket sales. All-everything guard Donovan Mitchell has seen an uptick in his production of late. But even Mitchell's 38 points on 12-of-24 shooting on Friday night wasn't enough for the team to overcome a 114-104 loss to Memphis. Coach Quin Synder and his player personnel are rarely successful unless they defend at a high level. And with the short bench the ability to do so has been an issue. Furthermore it will continue to be such in the latter part of the regular season. There are currently three pre-filed bills ahead of the 2019 legislative session: BR 15, BR 29 and BR 320. That’s indicative of what’s expected to be a legitimately serious push for legalization of various forms gaming in the Bluegrass State in the coming year. Notably, BR 15 calls for the Kentucky Lottery Corporation to establish a sports wagering regulatory infrastructure. January into February is about the NFL Playoffs and Super Bowl. This weekend the divisional games will be held, and then the following weekend the conference championships will be played. Two weeks later on February 4, it’s the Super Bowl, which is brimming with props! In between the conference games and the Super Bowl, the NFL will offer its Pro Bowl on January 28. What about financial products which are usually perceived as investment such as Equity (Stock) or Bond (Fixed Income)? Annual Returns on Stock, T.Bonds and T.Bills: 1928 – Current shows S&P 500 (US Stock Index) average is 11.41% while 10 year T-Bond is 5.23%. However, when it comes to the standard deviation (fluctuation of return), off course Stock is much higher. According to CFA Digest, stocks are about 3 times more volatile than bonds on average. Means the certainty of outcome in Positive return of Fixed Income is surely higher than Stock. The below chart is just giving you how the magnitude of the difference of volatility between these 2 assets class are (sourced from Market Realist); Amidst all the close calls that are separating the top 2(or top-3, if you are a delusional Tottenham fan), Manchester City host Chelsea in the showcase game of the Premier League weekend. Between them, both these teams have won 8 out of the last 14 league titles and 4 of the last 5 to lay a claim to throne of being the most successful Premier League club of the post-Ferguson era. In a different study released by FDU’s PublicMind in October 2011, results showed that New Jersey voters thought legalizing sports betting in New Jersey was a good idea. Half of New Jersey voters (52%) said that they approved the idea of legalizing sports betting at Atlantic City casinos and racetracks, 31% opposed it. In addition, there was a significant gender split: a majority of men approved of the idea by a wide margin (65-21), while only 39% of women approved and 41% opposed.[9] The October results were stable, reflecting an earlier poll in April 2011 where New Jersey voters approved the legalization of sports betting in the state by a margin of 53%-30%. However, nearly two-thirds (66%) of voters were not aware of the upcoming statewide referendum on the issue. Age proved to be a divide: voters between the ages 18 and 34 were more likely to approve of sports betting than were older voters. Dr. Woolley commented: "But... younger voters... are far less likely to vote than other voters... As always, a lot depends on who actually shows up to vote."[10] The National Football League is fully against any sort of legalization of sports betting, strongly protesting it as to not bring corruption into the game. On the other hand, the CEO of the International Cricket Council believe sports betting, in particular in India, should be legalized to curb illegal bookies where match fixing has occurred from nontransparent bookmakers. Many of the illegal proceeds also allegedly go to fund terror, drugs and other illegal activities.[citation needed] The last tip I have for you is to try and place your bets at the right time. With lines shifting from the time they are posted to the time the game starts, you will want to get your bet in at the time when you are getting the best price. Predicting line movements is extremely hard but it is worth looking into. Check out the video below that I made titled “When To Place Your Bets”. It is just ridiculous to look ahead at futures prices for the 2022 in FIFA World Cup in Qatar right now. It's not until November of 2022, so it is still almost four years away. And with the controversies that have surrounded the host, we still can't be entirely certain that it will take place in the desert at all. Really, we could hope that it won't. Read More >> You see, although this article is named “The Best Sports for Betting,” there’s really no such thing. There are definitely sports that WE think are better, but not everyone is going to have the same opinions. The best sport for one person to bet on might be a terrible sport for someone else. It depends on several different factors. A similar principle applies to whether it’s best to wager on one sport, a couple of sports, or a variety of sports. There’s no “optimal” number of sports here. Again, there are a lot of factors that come into play. La Russa made Eckersley his closer, and he developed the "MLB sapien" system that was choreographed to use the role sparingly. The engineering marvel put little to no stress on the pitchers arm in a single outing. Thus resulting in that arm being used in consecutive games. Eckersley went on to establish records for relievers with a 0.61 ERA in 1990, and did what most thought was impossible then, and in truth now, by earning the American League Cy Young and MVP awards when he saved 51 games in 1992. Now imagine you bet 400 bets in a year and are able to get still a modest 5% average return. That bankroll of $1000 at the end of the 400 bets would be in the ballpark of $1400 and at the end of 5 years that bankroll will be in the range of $5000, and after 10 years, around $30,000 with an average unit of 600. Not bad is it? Of course the hard part is to get that consistent 5% return, and perhaps the harder part is grinding it out until you build that bank up over a number of years. But the point here is to show how starting out modest with a viable bankroll and staking plan, can turn into genuine profits in the long term. Betting $50 on one game and $500 on another is a sure way to find yourself separated from your cash in the long run, just as betting 50-percent of your bankroll on one game will ultimately lead to disaster. A sports bettor may win a few games when betting more than they should, but eventually, the loss, or losses, will come and the bettors end up in trouble. Moskowitz has studied betting on a number of sports, including the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League, and the National Basketball Association. While betting on all of them exhibited behaviorally driven mispricing that created value and momentum effects, the size of those mispricing effects was only about one-fifth the size seen in financial markets. At that scale, they aren’t large enough to overcome the transaction cost of the bookmaker’s vig. The positions of the four major American sports leagues (representing American football, baseball, basketball, and ice hockey) have become more complex since their decision to embrace daily fantasy sports (DFS) in 2014, which are described by those within the industry as "almost identical to a casino" in nature. With the contention by critics that such activities blur the lines between gambling and fantasy sports, the endorsement of all four major sports leagues and many individual franchises provided a marked contrast to their positions on betting.[43] It is that time of the season again, the title races across the Europe are heating up, the Champions League is back in 2 days and it feels like the second Christmas of the winter season is upon us. If Christmas gave us a clear leader at the top of the pile, Christmas 2.0 has put some life back into the title race and now people are looking for someone at Liverpool to make the next big ‘Slip’. It's a widely known concept that the vast majority of sports bettors are going to lose money. The most popular concept is that 90-percent of sports gamblers will lose money over the course of the year, but that doesn't stop people from wagering on sports. When those bettors eventually go broke and cannot wager anymore, there's always somebody else waiting to take their place in line. For this reason, they can offer a larger deposit and reload bonuses. Taking advantage of bonuses is an absolute must for new bettors, where these extra funds are crucial for beginning bankrolls. Bettors can easily clear thousands of dollars in deposit bonuses at reputable sites in the US market. When you decide to don’t use any deposit bonus, you’re essentially deciding to leave money on the table.

Football may always be the most popular sport for gamblers but basketball could be a little more popular on the east coast than Nevada. In addition to regional preferences, Atlantic City and much of southern New Jersey is considered a sports suburb for Philadelphia sports teams. TV’s are always turned into 76ers, Phillies, Eagles, and Flyers games. ## Global Basketball Leagues and Bookmakers The NBA might be the most prestigious and popular basketball league in the world but it certainly isn’t the only one. Professional basketball leagues thrive all over the world and the best basketball bookmakers make sure that they offer as many of them as possible. Be it one of the many European leagues, Asian leagues, or African leagues, bookies pull out all the stops to satisfy the growing number of fans. Punters really love the competitive odds, live streaming, in-play betting, and the plethora of dedicated promotions the basketball betting fans get. There are several bookies that offer a wide variety of markets, easy payment methods, and fast payouts. ## Daily Fantasy Sports and Arizona For many states that don’t have regulated laws regarding sports gambling, residents turn to daily fantasy sports as an alternative means to bet. However, Arizona residents do not have that option. While many argue that DFS is a game of skill, based on the analytical research needed to make picks, AZ lawmakers claim that it is a game of chance and therefore prohibited. There are currently no DFS sites that will accept Arizona residents and these include DraftKings and FanDuel. Not even Fantasy Draft or Yahoo will risk allowing AZ residents to sign up. The good news is traditional and legal Arizona sports betting can still be had at online offshore sportsbooks and many of them offer contests similar to DFS sites. ## Virginia Sports Betting Legislation Virginia appears to be a potentially serious player on the sports betting front for 2019. The latest news coming out of the state involves an online-only sports betting bill pre-filed for next year’s legislative session by Delegate Mark Sickles. The proposed legislation, House Bill 1638 would repeal Virginia’s current ban on both sports betting and online lottery ticket sales. ## Kentucky Sports Betting Legislation There are currently three pre-filed bills ahead of the 2019 legislative session: BR 15, BR 29 and BR 320. That’s indicative of what’s expected to be a legitimately serious push for legalization of various forms gaming in the Bluegrass State in the coming year. Notably, BR 15 calls for the Kentucky Lottery Corporation to establish a sports wagering regulatory infrastructure. ## NFL Playoffs and Super Bowl Betting January into February is about the NFL Playoffs and Super Bowl. This weekend the divisional games will be held, and then the following weekend the conference championships will be played. Two weeks later on February 4, it’s the Super Bowl, which is brimming with props! In between the conference games and the Super Bowl, the NFL will offer its Pro Bowl on January 28. ## The Best Sports for Betting You see, although this article is named “The Best Sports for Betting,” there’s really no such thing. There are definitely sports that WE think are better, but not everyone is going to have the same opinions. The best sport for one person to bet on might be a terrible sport for someone else. It depends on several different factors. A similar principle applies to whether it’s best to wager on one sport, a couple of sports, or a variety of sports. There’s no “optimal” number of sports here. Again, there are a lot of factors that come into play. ## Long-Term Betting Growth Example Now imagine you bet 400 bets in a year and are able to get still a modest 5% average return. That bankroll of $1000 at the end of the 400 bets would be in the ballpark of $1400 and at the end of 5 years that bankroll will be in the range of $5000, and after 10 years, around $30,000 with an average unit of 600. Not bad is it? Of course the hard part is to get that consistent 5% return, and perhaps the harder part is grinding it out until you build that bank up over a number of years. But the point here is to show how starting out modest with a viable bankroll and staking plan, can turn into genuine profits in the long term. ## Bankroll Management and Staking Betting $50 on one game and $500 on another is a sure way to find yourself separated from your cash in the long run, just as betting 50-percent of your bankroll on one game will ultimately lead to disaster. A sports bettor may win a few games when betting more than they should, but eventually, the loss, or losses, will come and the bettors end up in trouble. ## Behavioral Mispricing in Sports Betting Moskowitz has studied betting on a number of sports, including the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League, and the National Basketball Association. While betting on all of them exhibited behaviorally driven mispricing that created value and momentum effects, the size of those mispricing effects was only about one-fifth the size seen in financial markets. At that scale, they aren’t large enough to overcome the transaction cost of the bookmaker’s vig. ## Majority of Bettors Lose It's a widely known concept that the vast majority of sports bettors are going to lose money. The most popular concept is that 90-percent of sports gamblers will lose money over the course of the year, but that doesn't stop people from wagering on sports. When those bettors eventually go broke and cannot wager anymore, there's always somebody else waiting to take their place in line. ## Bonus Offers and Deposit Promotions For this reason, they can offer a larger deposit and reload bonuses. Taking advantage of bonuses is an absolute must for new bettors, where these extra funds are crucial for beginning bankrolls. Bettors can easily clear thousands of dollars in deposit bonuses at reputable sites in the US market. When you decide to don’t use any deposit bonus, you’re essentially deciding to leave money on the table. ## Timing Your Bets The last tip I have for you is to try and place your bets at the right time. With lines shifting from the time they are posted to the time the game starts, you will want to get your bet in at the time when you are getting the best price. Predicting line movements is extremely hard but it is worth looking into. Check out the video below that I made titled “When To Place Your Bets”. --- # Absolute and Relative Dating Compare Contrast Essays ## Compare and contrast relative dating and absolute radiometric dating \| WBUT AM – Butler, PA > Unlike relative age of absolute dating in contrast essays examples, relative and Compare and absolute dating techniques which only puts geological time.

Nothing but Nice , respectful and caring people that actually want to see you pass. My driving teacher ALEN was very educated and knew what he was teaching . Every lesson i learned something new. He took the fear of being behind the wheel alway. He makes a relationship with you to make you more comfortable. I appreciate everyone for everything i learn. I give this school a 100% and my driving teach alen i give you 1,000,000% good guy/ driving instructor. 2. This driving school does an amazing job. Everyone is very nice, caring, and respectful. These instructors actually want to see you pass. The driving instructor who I had was Alan. He is amazing, very patient, makes his drivers feel comfortable behind the wheel. Every lesson I had with him, I learned something different. And towards the end of every lesson he was concerned on the questions i had. Not only does he have a good relationship with each of his students he has confidence in us as well. This also proved to me that it is good to be confident behind the wheel, not to be nervous or scared. This school is amazing, I took the road test today and passed. This driving school is the best decision I have made. I recommend everyone to go to this school, you will not regret it. I promise you, my rate is 100%, and Alan thank you for everything, everything you taught me has paid off. 100,000,000%! 3. Im pregnant, was very nervouse!!!Took my road test today and passed!!! I had ALAN as my instructor and he is great, patient and straight forward, he knows how to teach and what to teach, points out all you need to know and what to work on. He also makes you feel comfortable and have that connection while driving. I recommend this school 100% everyone is nice and if you need a specific instructor go for ALAN hes the best!!!! 😊 4. My Instructor Alan was very motivating and respectful, he gave a lot of feedback which helped me fix my mistakes. He’s very straight forward so you know what your doing. He’s given me great tips on how to improve my driving which is why I passed my drivers test. 5. My instructor was Alan, he’s great guy and very respectful. Gives great tips and tricks on driving and parking and points out on the any issue and the solutions. I recommend his if you ever need a driver instructor. Thanks for the lessons! 6. I took total 20 classes with Alan from the Motivation Driving School. He knows extremely well what he is doing! He is very patient and points out your mistake in a soothing way. Thus the student never gets tensed and learns things fast. I will strongly recommend Alan for anyone who wants to learn driving. 7. As of TODAY 9/5/17 I passes my Road Test in New Rochelle Thanks and GOD bless Alla I got through gave me tips on the location. I reccomend every new and currently driver to make a stop to this school. Everything is Nice. I tried at other schools but Motivation is the way to GO ! 8. Had such an amazing experience chuck was my instructor I would totally recommend this school will and Yolanda was very nice and helpful today I pass my road test so happy I choose this driving school thanks a lot 9. I want to sign up for 5 lessons, am I able to rent the car for the road test? I already have my 5 hour, so I don’t need that. 10. This came highly recommended from a family friend and I don’t regret it. I was extremely nervous when I started but not I have my license and I have no problem driving. • I forgot to mention a huge part of it was my instructor Allan. All the instructors are nice but he is by far the most calm and professional. 11. I highly recommend this place, my original instructor was Chuck, and then I tried to learn from two other instructors but chuck was the best one out of the three. Make sure you especify what you want to work on the most, if it’s parking, 3-point turn or if it’s your turns and he will invest more time perfecting that. He was super calm and corrects you if you make a mistake most importantly HE DOES NOT REACH FOR THE WHEEL when you drive like the other instructors I had. The lessons were affordable, and the 6 train is about three blocks away if any one is traveling by public transportation. Just bring your “A” game, pay attention to what he says and review the packet he gives you it will help a lot. 12. I love this driving school, the people the lessons just all around amazing. Initially I bought my lessons through groupon and my instructor was Chuck. Chuck gave me my first 4 lessons, he made me feel calm and very comfortable. He didn’t make me feel bad or embarrassed about making mistakes and was very helpful in teaching me how to fix them. Sadly he was on vacation after I booked more classes to make sure I was ready for my road test. But all in all I would recommend him 100%, everyone made me feel at home. Definitely book them if you want to pass your road test 13. Highly reccomend this driving school! My instructor was Jose (the best!) and i passed on my first try. Thank you Jose & Motivation! 14. Never driven in my entire life but I became a pro when I start with this school. Everyone was very polite and kind. My instructor made me feel confident and I was a nervous wreck on the beginning. Everything I was taught, I was able to carry out on the day of my road test: 3 points turn, parallel parking, left turn and right turn, etc. I past my road test on the first try. 15. Hey Guys!!! If you’re looking for a driving school, I would TOTALLY recommend going to Motivation Driving School. For starters, the people working in administration are very welcoming and sweet. All instructors and admission have such a comfortable relationship with one another that it almost seems like a family. This dynamic definitely adds a welcoming atmosphere. In addition to the ambiance, the prices for the classes are really economical. I wanted to take a 10 class package, which included the 5 hour class, road test appointment and road test car, for only $360. I also had the option to pay for this in installments. I decided to have ALAN as my instructor since I kept seeing his name here in the reviews. Best decision ever. I have experience with taking driving classes from other schools and I must say Alan has been the best instructor. How I entered the school as a driver was completely different than how I left. I was very anxious when I first started but was able to build more confidence because of Alan. He is very calm and gives good feedback at the end of the lesson. Alan makes sure that as a student you are able to find your driving style. As he likes to put it, he teaches backwards meaning he allows you to find your driving style first and then teaches the technical things that would be on the road test. Once you know who you are as a driver, you are able to efficiently do things as parking the car and making Uturns. Alan made me not only develop the skills but develop the confidence that I needed as a driver. I took 10 classes and passed my road test the first try!!! Now I’m going back for highway lessons. A HUGE thanks to ALAN and MOTIVATION DRIVING SCHOOL for helping me obtain my drivers license! 16. After a long period of letting my license expire, I wanted to get back on the road again. I grew weary of taking the subways and all of the nonsense that comes with it. Needless to say, I’m happy I found Motivation Driving School. Particularly, Alan was my instructor and he guided me ALL the way. He is concise, efficient, and ALWAYS on time. I learned more than I thought I knew as a previous driver from Alan. He has a calming demeanor for anxious drivers. Alan is THE BEST 💜💜💜💜👍🏽🤲🏽 17. After a long period of letting my license expire, I wanted to get back on the road again.

My experience with Motivation driving was wonderful,the atmosphere gives you strength to achieve and the stuff are really great, my instructor José was tough and friendly and he answers all my questions and made sure I pass my road test, I highly recommend Motivation driving school. 19. I highly recommend this driving school; the office staff is professional and very nice (thanks Will for your patience in scheduling and rescheduling my road test so many times). Allan was my instructor, he is the BEST (i HIGHLY recommend him). I was a NERVOUS wreck when i got in the car and almost immediately he calmed me down and gave me confidence behind the wheel. He is very professional and loves what he does. He will surely give you what you need to pass. If you looking for a driving school with awesome customer service and great instructors; than MOTIVATION is for you. 20. Motivation Driving School had been my first choice to accomplish my goals; based on pursuing the life style of driving. As a beginner, I had a route of 3 different instructors. In fact, it was intimidating to trust and feel right due to the fact, I had to give my judgment towards the best instructor that had suited me with: positive thinking, delivering confidence while driving and overall making driving fun! Through all the lesson trails, Alan came across teaching one lesson before all my lessons were finished. In my belief, Alan created justice and light through my driving lessons. I am so thankful, he persisted his patience even when I was on the verge of giving up! Through faith, hard work, and tons of practices I OFFICIALLY have my DRIVERS LICENSE! Thank you Alan!!!!!! -Lissandra 21. I had lessons with both chuck and Chiquita and they were both so very patient and kind when giving me instructions. Both gave very clear and concise directions and always answered my questions. I took my road test with Chiquita and passed it on my first try after practicing for almost a year. I am truly grateful for them both, thanks to them I can drive with confidence.

We will use these immediate experiences as a microcosm to reflect on broader patterns and to play with new possibilities. All these explorations will be guided by our intention of attuning ourselves to the rhythms of the wild and blossoming with the spring. When needed, we will tend and examine our individual and cultural blockages around doing so, acknowledging the painful and knotty roots of our disconnection. Our toolkit will include somatic awareness, creative art expressions, mindful witnessing and engagement with nature, and co-created rituals. Together, we will step towards greater awareness and more vibrant aliveness, opening deeper into connection with the wild within and beyond us.
