Monki, real name Lucy Monkman, also discussed women in music at IMS Ibiza.
Stormzy recently brought mental health to the forefront of the music industry when he bravely spoke about his own battle with depression. It was rare for a male artist to openly discuss his personal plight with the illness, which is notoriously a taboo subject in music.
BBC Radio 1 DJ Monki has fortunately not suffered from mental health problems personally but, being in the midst of the fast-paced world of EDM, knows all too well about how a certain lifestyle can lead to a plethora of issues. Monki, real name Lucy Monkman, spoke candidly during the Health Vs. Hedonism: Staying Sane In The Game panel at the International Music Summit Ibiza.
The talk addressed the difficulties musicians face when making choices that could be either beneficial or detrimental to their health. Like, for example, "Should I party for a few more hours or go home and get an early night before my next DJ set?" The difference is significant and Monki understands the pressures of the job.
Speaking to IBTimes UK at the summit, Monki explained: "For a start, it's a really unstable job. You could be a rockstar one year and the next, nobody cares so to go from hero to zero that fast for anyone is quite a difficult thing."
The DJ continued: "Most producers and radio people like myself are just nerds who like music so when you're thrust into this world where you're this cool DJ and people want photos with you, it's bizarre because the reality is, you're just a nerd. I can handle it fine as I'm quite laid back but I completely understand why people might handle it in a bad way. There's always temptations, people want you to come out to party. Some people, like me, aren't made for that and they know it and some people aren't made for it but they don't know it and push themselves a little bit too far with negative effects."
A 2016 survey by UK charity Help Musicians revealed that around 60% of musicians are battling with a form of mental illness. Is there enough support regarding mental health in the industry? Monki says: "There probably isn't but at the same time, it's hard to talk about. It's hard to sympathise with people who have pushed themselves so far into the party because we're all adults and know what would happen if you do that."
She added: "But there is no support whatsoever. Not just in the music industry but all round, people need to be more aware of mental health on a day-to-day basis. It's becoming a lot less taboo to talk about which is great."
Monki, 25, is a prominent face on Radio 1 and 1Xtra being one of a handful of female presenters at the station, alongside the likes of Clara Amfo and Adele Roberts. The representation of women in her field has certainly changed since she started out eight years ago when she was one of three females out of around 60 DJs working at a pirate station.
Addressing the ongoing sexism issue, Monki admitted: "I never really noticed until someone pointed it out because we were never treated unfairly. The matter of fact is when I first started out, there weren't many female DJs and not for lack of trying, but there were less females to look up to so naturally women weren't getting into it. Now there's a lot more of us, especially on Radio 1, there's more than I can count."


Micro Four Thirds: Evolution Of The Dslr?
For decades the single lens reflex camera (SLR) has referred to cameras that, with the proper mirrors and/or prisms would allow the photographer to see through the lens to frame the subject and judge focus. When people talk about SLR cameras they generally think of a big camera where you look through a viewfinder, see through the lens, and when you take the shot, the mirror flips up to expose the image sensor. Now the new Micro Four Thirds technology used by Olympus and Panasonic is starting to blur the lines of what we call a dSLR (digital single lens reflex) by removing the mirror(s) and prism that add complexity to the dSLR and replacing them with digital components. Are these new "solid state" cameras still SLR cameras and what benefits do they offer?
The primary distinction between pocket cameras and dSLR cameras is that the dSLR allows you to physically see through the lens without any conversion of the image to digital format. That is, the light goes straight through the lens and (after some bouncing around) directly to your eyes, hence the term optical viewfinder. Most pocket cameras see through the lens too, but they convert that light and display it on an LCD screen on the rear of the camera so in a sense you are not seeing through the lens: you are seeing what the camera sees through the lens.
The Olympus/Panasonic Micro Four Thirds system used in cameras like the Panasonic G1 and upcoming E-series cameras from Olympus work less like a dSLR and more like a compact camera in that there is no mirror and no optical viewfinder where you can see through the lens. Instead, there is an LCD on the back of the camera and a digital viewfinder that works like an optical viewfinder on a traditional dSLR except that what you see is a digitized image of what the camera sees through the lens. In a sense, the Micro Four Thirds system is like a pocket camera with a digital viewfinder that you can put your eye close to in order to see the viewfinder better in bright light. Having all the features of a dSLR plus the digital viewfinder, it's a compact camera that looks and feels like a dSLR to a large extent. In the end, whether you call it a dSLR or something else is up to you. You could argue that point either way, but to me, the most important thing is that the Micro Four Thirds system does make cameras that look, operate, and feel like a dSLR with some useful advantages!
Traditional dSLR's use phase detection autofocus. This focusing method uses a beam splitter and sensors separate from the main image sensor to detect front/back focus and "predict" where the focus ring on the lens should be moved for perfect focus. While this method is very fast (basically as fast as the attached lens can move focus), it has some drawbacks. The main drawback to this system is that it doesn't use the main image sensor where your image is being captured. As a result, the focus is predictive and depends on a perfect match/calibration of the camera body to the lens so that the lens actually mechanically moves to the exact position where the camera commanded. Unfortunately, in nearly every application, there is some focus error in at least part of the range when focusing a zoom lens. For example, your camera may focus slightly behind where you were aiming in macros up close but focus perfectly at a distance. Lens micro adjustments offered in the menus of some later dSLR models do little to help this because they often only offer a single adjustment for the whole range. This focus error is caused by the lens having a slightly different idea of where to go when the camera commands focus than the camera did in its AF calculation.
Because the Micro Four Thirds format doesn't use a mirror that diverts light away from the main sensor to a separate autofocus system, it is free to use the image sensor itself to adjust focus. If you want focus accuracy, nothing beats using the main image sensor to detect proper focus since that is the sensor that will ultimately capture the final image. With the Micro Four Thirds format, contrast detection autofocus is used where the image sensor watches what is coming through the lens and adjusts focus until maximum contrast is achieved (loosely read as maximum sharpness). Gone are the days of fiddling with lens micro adjustments or sending your lens and body off to the manufacturer to have the lens calibrated to your camera body in order to get proper focus. I've always been a fan of contrast detection AF but until recently, it has been too slow to compete with the phase detection AF used in traditional dSLR cameras. Not so with the latest Micro Four Thirds cameras as their contrast detection AF is said to be as fast or faster than most dSLR cameras.
Likely not by accident, the Micro Four Thirds format enabled cameras like the upcoming Panasonic GH1 to have continuous autofocus while shooting video. Current dSLR cameras such as the Nikon D90 and Canon 5D Mark II cannot (effectively) autofocus during video shooting because their mirrors are flipped up to expose the image sensor and that disables their autofocus systems. With the Micro Four Thirds cameras like the GH1, the sensor is free to use its contrast detection autofocus in real time just like a consumer camcorder. Obviously this has its benefits over manual focus in certain conditions.
It may sound like I'm a proponent of the Micro Four Thirds format for use in "new age dSLR" cameras, but it's early in the game and right now I simply find it intriguing. The multiple mirrors/prisms in traditional dSLR cameras certainly come at a cost and I've always believed they could be removed and benefits realized from a (mechanically) simpler design. I do get tired of investing in cameras and lenses for traditional dSLR cameras only to find that at least 80% of them have some front/back focus issues in at least part of the zoom range. In many cases I'm certain about where I focused yet the full size image shows the true focus just in front of or behind where I focused. I'm looking forward to trying the Micro Four Thirds cameras to see if they put an end to that problem, yet I wonder how well those cameras will handle other aspects like being able to use the digital viewfinder in dim lighting or for fast moving objects, or whether their somewhat smaller sensors can keep up with the "big boys" when it comes to high ISO shooting. So while I'm optimistic, I think the jury is out but suffice it to say I'll be keeping an eye on this exciting new design for what most of us will still call dSLR cameras.
Though the Micro Four Thirds format is not limited to dSLR type cameras (it should work well for rangefinder type cameras too), due to the reduced mechanical complexity, Micro Four Thirds dSLR cameras can be as their name suggests: micro! The camera bodies and lenses for Micro Four Thirds cameras can be made significantly smaller while using image sensors that are only slightly smaller than APS-C sensors used in most traditional dSLR cameras. The future looks bright for this format so if you are in the market for a compact dSLR camera, keep an eye on the Micro Four Thirds offerings from Panasonic and Olympus. There are already plenty of selections in the Four Thirds format: it's the "Micro" part that's new! As of this writing, the only Micro Four Thirds dSLR available in the U.S. is the Panasonic G1 and that doesn't do HD video: you'll have to wait a month or so for the GH1 if you want the first Micro Four Thirds dSLR that can do HD video.
While I'm hesitant to say that the Olympus/Panasonic Micro Four Thirds format is the next phase in the evolution of the dSLR, the format has some promising advantages that seem to lend the technology to the latest crazes in photography. Well suited for dSLR video and lending itself to more compact camera/lens sizes, the appeal is certainly there. Keep an eye on the Micro Four Thirds format cameras and let's see if they can deliver as much in the performance department as they do in functionality. Only the future and our trusty online reviewers will tell!

The Strindberg family originates from the town of Sollefteå in the county of Västernorrland (province of Ångermanland). Many members of the Strindberg family have been working at the Sollefteå Iron Mill (Sollefteå Bruk). The mill was closed a long time ago. The map below shows Västernorrland County (Län) in Sweden with Sollefteå town. Västernorrland is in mid Sweden and Sollefteå is located about 550 km north of Stockholm. The population of Sollefteå is 8,562 (2010). The county code of Västernorrland is "Y". For example Sollefteå (Y).
In Sweden we began using family names at the end of the 1800-hundreds, that is children inherited the same surname as their father. In the year 1901 a law was passed stating that we had to use family names. Before that we used patronymic names. That means that the children were given a last name ending with -son or -dotter (daughter) and started with the father’s first name. For example, if a man called Anders Nilsson had a son named Peter and a daughter named Anna, the children’s full name would be: Peter Andersson and Anna Anderssdotter. That is Peter son of Anders and Anna daughter of Anders. If Peter had a son called Nils, then Nils’s full name would be Nils Petersson. Normally the "-son" surnames are spelt with two "s". These ways of giving surnames (patronymic) are still used on Iceland. At the end of the 1800's when people started to change their patronymic surnames to family names they often took a family name with a local association to nature, farm name, village name etc. But most people kept their "-son" name as a family name. The map to the right shows the town of Sollefteå and the farm "Kläpparna". The river is "Ångermanälven". A more detailed map. The patronymics were mostly used in the rural areas. Among nobility, clergy, the military, etc they started much earlier with family names. Priests often spelt their names in Latin way, for example Laurentius Hornaues (Lars from Horn). The different groups had different patterns of names.
What about the Strindberg name?
There are many Strindberg families in Sweden that is not related and this is the story of "my" Strindberg family. We have to go back to the beginning of the 1800's. My mother's father's father's father Adam Strindberg (1800-1863), born in Strinne village, parish of Multrå (Y), changed his patronymic name to the family name Strindberg. His father was Adam Michelsson (1769- 1810) so Adam Strindberg was born Adam Adamsson. Adam was a blacksmith at the Sollefteå Iron Mill. In the year 1821 when he got married to Anna Holmberg (1798-1869) he is listed in the church records under the name of Strindberg. At that time he had the title mästersven (master smith) and he probably changed his surname to a family name when he became a professional blacksmith. The first part of the Strindberg name probably comes from the village name Strinne were Adam was born (Strinne was spelt Strinde in former days). Berg means mountain.
My mother's father was Erik Albert Strindberg, born January 1, 1891 in Sollefteå Bruk, Sollefteå(Y). Hi died September 21, 1963 in Sollefteå. My mother's mother was Anna Margareta Strindberg (maiden name Pettersson). She was born May 11, 1897 in Mellanngransjö village, Helgum parish (Y). She died May 12, 1966 in Sollefteå. Albert and Anna had a farm just south of Sollefteå. Albert also was a vägmästare (Road master?, built roads). The name of the farm was "Kläpparna". Albert built the farm at the end of the 1910's. The image to the right shows Anna and Albert Strindberg, Sollefteå (Y). Anna and Albert had 5 children: 1. Bror Erland (1922 - 1997) Sollefteå 2. Nils Erik (1925 - 2014) Sollefteå 3. Anna-Greta (1923 - 2014) Sollefteå (my mother) 4. Per-Olof (1929 - 2015) Sollefteå 5. Ulla Kristina (1934 - ) Sollefteå Albert and Anna are buried at the Sollefteå Cemetery .
My Grandmother Anna's father was Lars Abraham Pettersson, born April 5, 1862 in the village of Västergransjö, Helgum (Y). He died June 19, 1926 in Helgum. Lars was a målarmästare (master house painter). My Grandmother Anna's mother was Margareta Jonson, born April 20, 1861 in the village of Västergransjö Helgum (Y). She died July 21, 1932 in Helgum. The picture to the right is a photo of my grandparents farm, Kläpparna in Sollefteå(Y). The house is no longer there.
Margareta, born January 19, 1881 in Sollefteå (Y). She died January 18 1934, in Skönsmon parish, in the city Sundsvall (Y). She was married twice, first Hammarberg and second Widekvist.
Georg, born November 3, 1887 in Sollefteå (Y). He died April 7, 1938. He was married twice, first with Margareta Svedin (1880-10-07 - 1970-07-07), and then with Signe Järnström, born 1898-02-06.

Gen 29:1 - So Jacob moved on and came to the land of the eastern people.
Gen 29:2 - He saw in the field a well with three flocks of sheep lying beside it, because the flocks were watered from that well. Now a large stone covered the mouth of the well.
Gen 29:3 - When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone off the mouth of the well and water the sheep. Then they would put the stone back in its place over the well's mouth.
Gen 29:4 - Jacob asked them, "My brothers, where are you from?" They replied, "We're from Haran."
Gen 29:5 - So he said to them, "Do you know Laban, the grandson of Nahor?" "We know him," they said.
Gen 29:6 - "Is he well?" Jacob asked. They replied, "He is well. Now look, here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep."
Gen 29:7 - Then Jacob said, "Since it is still the middle of the day, it is not time for the flocks to be gathered. You should water the sheep and then go and let them graze some more."
Gen 29:8 - "We can't," they said, "until all the flocks are gathered and the stone is rolled off the mouth of the well. Then we water the sheep."
Gen 29:9 - While he was still speaking with them, Rachel arrived with her father's sheep, for she was tending them.
Gen 29:10 - When Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his uncle Laban, and the sheep of his uncle Laban, he went over and rolled the stone off the mouth of the well and watered the sheep of his uncle Laban.
Gen 29:11 - Then Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep loudly.
Gen 29:12 - When Jacob explained to Rachel that he was a relative of her father and the son of Rebekah, she ran and told her father.
Gen 29:13 - When Laban heard this news about Jacob, his sister's son, he rushed out to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban how he was related to him.
Gen 29:14 - Then Laban said to him, "You are indeed my own flesh and blood." So Jacob stayed with him for a month.
Gen 29:15 - Then Laban said to Jacob, "Should you work for me for nothing because you are my relative? Tell me what your wages should be."
Gen 29:16 - (Now Laban had two daughters; the older one was named Leah, and the younger one Rachel.
Gen 29:18 - Since Jacob had fallen in love with Rachel, he said, "I'll serve you seven years in exchange for your younger daughter Rachel."
Gen 29:19 - Laban replied, "I'd rather give her to you than to another man. Stay with me."
Gen 29:20 - So Jacob worked for seven years to acquire Rachel. But they seemed like only a few days to him because his love for her was so great.
Gen 29:21 - Finally Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my time of service is up. I want to have marital relations with her."
Gen 29:22 - So Laban invited all the people of that place and prepared a feast.
Gen 29:23 - In the evening he brought his daughter Leah to Jacob, and Jacob had marital relations with her.
Gen 29:25 - In the morning Jacob discovered it was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, "What in the world have you done to me! Didn't I work for you in exchange for Rachel? Why have you tricked me?"
Gen 29:26 - "It is not our custom here," Laban replied, "to give the younger daughter in marriage before the firstborn.
Gen 29:27 - Complete my older daughter's bridal week. Then we will give you the younger one too, in exchange for seven more years of work."
Gen 29:28 - Jacob did as Laban said. When Jacob completed Leah's bridal week, Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.
Gen 29:30 - Jacob had marital relations with Rachel as well. He loved Rachel more than Leah, so he worked for Laban for seven more years.
Gen 29:31 - When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, he enabled her to become pregnant while Rachel remained childless.
Gen 29:32 - So Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said, "The LORD has looked with pity on my oppressed condition. Surely my husband will love me now."
Gen 29:33 - She became pregnant again and had another son. She said, "Because the LORD heard that I was unloved, he gave me this one too." So she named him Simeon.
Gen 29:34 - She became pregnant again and had another son. She said, "Now this time my husband will show me affection, because I have given birth to three sons for him." That is why he was named Levi.
Gen 29:35 - She became pregnant again and had another son. She said, "This time I will praise the LORD." That is why she named him Judah. Then she stopped having children.


Runners are simply the strawberry plant�s offspring, or babies. If you don�t trim them from the mother plant once they have rooted, it�s put a lot of addition stress on that mother plant. (There�s a life lesson in there somewhere!) So once the runners have little root systems, it�s time to grow on their own and absorb their own nutrients! These runners often times take root somewhere how to change an apple watch screen The matted row system works well with strawberry plants that send out a lot of runners. Set plants 18 inches apart in rows of 24 inches, with 4 to 4 1/2 feet between rows. Set plants 18 inches apart in rows of 24 inches, with 4 to 4 1/2 feet between rows.
Runners are long stalks trailing out of the container or planter, and these will grow as the strawberry plant is trying to multiply and produce more young plants. It�s important to cut off these runners to allow all the plants� energy to go into making new flowers (and therefore more strawberries!) how to cook and egg in the sun My suggestion is to cut the runners, especially if your plant is relatively �young�. In fact, plants use a lot of energy to produce and develop runners. Therefore, cutting them means that your plant can concentrate its efforts on fruit production .
Benefits of runners. Runners are great for establishing new plants. After all, this is how the plant reproduces itself. Growing yourself new plants is as easy as laying the runner down and letting it root.
If you want to propagate even more new plants from the runners, sink a pot of general-purpose compost into the ground and push the end of a runner into it.

Animal Experimentation - Frequently Asked Questions: How will we ever cure cancer without animals?
How will we ever cure cancer without animals?
The "War on Cancer" dates from the Nixon administration, and though information regarding cancer in animals is an expanding volume, researchers have not yet won the war. In fact, deaths from cancer are higher than ever. One major reason we have not yet stemmed mortality from cancer is this: Animal cancer is not the same as human cancer.
Cancer is not one disease. It is many. In humans alone, there are over 200 different forms of cancer afflicting different organs, tissues, and cells. Though comparable animal organs, tissues, and cells may become cancerous, the cancers are never identical to human carcinomas.
Susceptibility to cancer may be genetic. Exposures, diet, and lifestyles can also increase vulnerability. To turn animals into pseudohumans, researchers implant them with human genes, then expose them to known human carcinogens. The key word here is "known." If we already have significant human evidence that a substance, diet, or lifestyle is carcinogenic, why do we tool up to repeat that episode in animals?
In any event, different substances are not necessarily carcinogenic to all species. Though one would expect rats and mice to acquire cancers similarly, studies conducted on both species found that forty-six percent of chemicals found to be cancer-causing in rats were not cancer-causing in mice. Since species as closely related as mice and rats do not acquire cancer the same, it is not surprising that of twenty compounds known not to cause cancer in humans, nineteen did cause cancer in animals. The National Cancer Institute treated mice that were growing forty-eight different "human" cancers with a dozen different drugs that were already used successfully in humans. In thirty out of the forty-eight, the drugs did not work. Sixty-three percent of the time the mouse models were wrong.
The National Cancer Institute also undertook a twenty-five-year screening program, testing 40,000 plant species on animals for anti-tumor activity. Out of this very expensive research, many positive results surfaced in animal models, but not a single antitumor drug emerged for humans. As a consequence, the NCI now uses human cancer cells for cytotoxic screening.
The history of cancer research has been a history of curing cancer in the mouse...We have cured mice of cancer for decades - and it simply didn't work in humans.

Travel medical insurance plans can be classified as either fixed/scheduled benefits or comprehensive plans. There are few factors to consider while buying visitors insurance. There are significant differences in the coverage, price, benefit limits... between the two types of plans. Listed here are details to highlight these differences.
Fixed benefits plans have specific benefit limits for different covered medical expenses.
These benefit limits are not the same as the plan medical maximum.
Clearly defined coverage limits. More affordable when compared to comprehensive plans, but with correspondingly less coverage. This works for small ailments, but can be inadequate for major expenses.
Cheapest options in the market definitely more affordable.
How do fixed benefits plans work?
The customer is required to pay an initial deductible for each injury or sickness and the plan pays for the rest of the covered expenses.
You can visit any hospital or doctor, since there will be no discounted rates, the plan will only pay up to the clearly defined limits for different expenses.
Any limitation on hospitals and doctors?
No limitation, you can go to any doctor or hospital, however the plan will have clearly defined payments for different treatments.
The plan pays for all expenses after the deductible and co-insurance component. These plans are recommended given the high costs of health care in the US. These plans are worth every penny of premium paid in the event of catastrophic medical emergencies.
How do comprehensive plans work?
The insured has to pay the deductible and an additional 20% co insurance for the first $5000 of the medical expense incurred. After $5000, the plan pays 100% of the eligible medical expenses up to the plan maximum. There are other variances of the co-insurance, some where the plan pays 90% up to first $5,000 and 100% after that.
Most comprehensive plans have PPO networks, which means cashless service (direct billing as opposed to reimbursement basis), more discounted rates, as well as easier acceptance within the PPO network.
It is recommended that you visit Doctors/Hospitals within the PPO network, even though you can go outside the network also. Within PPO network entitles you to discounted rates and direct billing.
What is the cheapest travel insurance?
After deductible, the plan covers set amount up to a maximum of $50,000. You must pay the first $100 (deductible). After that, the insurance company only pays the fixed amount for the policy, In this hypothetical case mentioned below in the table, the insured has to pay $15,900 because of the difference between the fixed amount the insurance pays and the actual billed amounts. Note that if you purchase a policy with a higher maximum, all the fixed amounts go up, so you can get better coverage of a medical bill. However, you may not get 100% coverage of ANY medical bill with a fixed plan.
Deductible is $100 with maximum coverage of $50,000. Policy covers 80% of first $5000 then 100% to the policy limit. In this case your expense is the first $100 deductible followed by 20% of first $5000, which is $1000. Thus your final expense is $1100 while the insurance company will cover the remaining $22,900.

In the course of chemical reaction equilibrium is established when the rate of direct reaction (in which the starting materials are converted to products) is equal to the rate of reverse reaction (where products are converted in the original substance). Concentrations of all these substances is then called equilibrium.
First remember, what is the equilibrium constant. It is a value characterizing the ratio of concentrations (or partial pressures) of the reaction products to the concentrations of the starting materials. For example, if the reaction proceeds according to the scheme: A + b = C + D, Kr = [C][D]/[A][B].
If the scheme of the reaction is: 2A + B = 2C, Cu is calculated by the following formula:[C]^2/[B][A]^2. That is, the indexes are transformed into a measure of the degree to which you want to build a concentration of a component.
Let's consider an example. Suppose, for example, flows the same first reaction: A + B = C + D. it is Required to determine the equilibrium concentrations of all components, if known, that the initial concentration of initial substances A and b was equal to 2 mol/liter, and the equilibrium constant can be taken as 1.
Again write down the formula of the equilibrium constant for this particular case: Kr = [C][D]/[A][B]. Given that Cu = 1 we obtain: [C][D] = [A][B].
The initial concentrations of substances A and b you are aware (given the conditions of the problem). The initial concentration of reaction products C and D were equal to 0, and then increased to some equilibrium values. Label the equilibrium concentration of a substance for x, then equilibrium concentration of substance A (from which it formed) will be equal to (2-x).
Since the scheme of the reaction shows that 1 mole of substance is formed And 1 mole of C and 1 mole of a substance In 1 mole of D, respectively, the equilibrium concentration of D will also be = x and the equilibrium concentration of B = (2-x).
Substituting these values into the formula, we get: (2-x) (2-x) = x^2. Solving this equation, we get 4x = 4, i.e. x = 1.
Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of reaction products C and D is equal to 1 mol/liter. But since the equilibrium concentration of initial substances A and b are calculated according to the formula (2), and they will also be equal to 1 mol/liter. The problem is solved.


One morning last summer, when Mark Goldring's wife, Rachel, was away on business and he was preparing a presentation for that day's Labour Party Conference, he noticed that their seven-year-old daughter, Tashi, looked poorly. 'She was definitely sick,' he recalls. 'But I dropped her at school.' He then hurriedly called their childminder and friends in case she had to be sent home.
Reluctant though he was to send a sick child to school, Goldring felt he didn't have a choice because that day's presentation was so important for Voluntary Service Overseas, the charity he runs. With a turnover of pounds 30 million, VSO is one of Britain's Top 100 charities and, as its chief executive, 42-year-old Goldring is in charge of 200 employees in London and 2,000 volunteers who provide badly needed services such as teaching, running engineering or technology programmes, and overseeing agricultural projects in 50 developing countries.
When the first volunteers were due to arrive, Goldring waited for three days at the airport 'for this tiny plane to come out of the clouds'. Rachel was among them. They stayed in Bhutan for three years, before returning to London, where Mark did an MA in development planning and Rachel worked for a health education charity. He then went to Bangladesh to run the United Nations' development programme - 'I hated it. The combination of UN bureaucracy and the Bangladesh infrastructure brought out the worst in everything' - so he got a new job there with Oxfam, while Rachel worked for UNICEF.
'Everyone we knew in Bangladesh was in development, and we all worked hard,' he says. 'At times of disasters, we'd work round the clock. The worst was a cyclone in 1991, which killed 150,000 people.' After Tashi's birth, Rachel took her to the UNICEF creche each day. They then moved to Fiji, where Rory was born, and Mark ran the British government's South Pacific development programme until he was appointed overseas director of VSO, based in London.
During their years abroad, what little free time the Goldrings had was spent travelling around the region. Back in London, they enjoy occasional outings to the cinema and theatre, although Mark says he doesn't 'miss that sort of thing if it's not available, which it obviously wasn't in Bhutan or Bangladesh'. However, he has always found time for sport. 'I travelled all over East Malaysia playing rugby,' he recalls. 'In Bhutan, there was walking, of course, and cricket. The only way I could get visas to go into India was with the embassy team.' Goldring now cycles the 30-minute journey from his home in Ham, near Richmond, to VSO's Putney headquarters, and goes on family walking and cycling holidays. He also plays squash, but settles for watching rugby and cricket. He and Rachel, who now works from home as a UNICEF consultant, go out one night a week - 'mostly for dinner with friends' - and Mark generally has one evening function for VSO. Often they go away with the children at weekends to stay with friends or family in Britain.
The main complication is that both he and Rachel travel fairly frequently.
They try to take business trips to the same country with the children once a year, and to make sure they are not both away at the same time.

In any discussion of filing for bankruptcy, it is essential that clients be warned to be careful of committing bankruptcy fraud. What is bankruptcy fraud? And why is bankruptcy fraud so dangerous?
Bankruptcy fraud occurs when someone attempts to shield assets from liquidation in the bankruptcy, hide income from garnishments, submits false valuation paperwork or enters fraudulent claims. Bankruptcy fraud includes concealing assets, undervaluing assets, failing to report income or omitting assets or claims from the bankruptcy court. Omitting debts owed to you by family members, not mentioning the likelihood of receiving an inheritance or lawsuit settlement in the next few months or giving items to family to keep from you are also considered bankruptcy fraud. Anything that overstates what you owe, understates what you own or prevents creditors from being paid as much as legally allowed is fraud.
Why is bankruptcy fraud so dangerous?
If the court or your creditors find out that you have committed bankruptcy fraud, your bankruptcy petition will be thrown out. Bankruptcy petitions are often tossed out because someone filed the wrong type of bankruptcy for their situation, such as a small business owner filing Chapter 12 bankruptcy. Some cases are thrown out because someone filed too soon since their last filing. Yet in these cases, the petitioner can re-file for bankruptcy again. However, if the bankruptcy case is thrown out due to allegations of bankruptcy fraud, you lose the option of filing again.
Lying on a bankruptcy petition is also perjury. You risk criminal charges simply for choosing to lie on the form. Accidental omissions may be challenged by creditors as acts of fraud, especially if there are significant errors on the bankruptcy petition. Speak with a Honolulu bankruptcy lawyer immediately if you are facing allegations of bankruptcy fraud. The issue may be resolved with an amended bankruptcy return, but the issue is avoided entirely if you seek the help of a Hawaii bankruptcy attorney before filing for bankruptcy.
If your bankruptcy has been closed and creditors find out about an unscheduled asset, the bankruptcy case may be reopened. The unscheduled asset can be taken, sold and the proceeds used to pay off creditors from the case. The court can also demand a review of your remaining assets, income, property and debts to find out if there are any other unscheduled assets According to the IRS, in 2011, about 83% of those found guilty of bankruptcy fraud ended up in jail for an average sentence of 32 months. Whistle blowers who report bankruptcy fraud are rewarded for the information.
Bankruptcy cases landing someone in jail this long tend to be the result of bankruptcy fraud involving large sums of money, businesses or both. Classifying personal property as business property and then reclaiming it after the personal bankruptcy is considered as bankruptcy fraud.
However, transferring property through the business to friends, coworkers and partners with the promise to protect the property is also a crime. For example, selling your boat to a business partner with the promise to be allowed to use it on weekends is bankruptcy fraud. Yet failing to properly list a stake in a failing personal business or selling shares at a loss in an attempt to remain personally solvent can lead to charges of bankruptcy fraud.
Someone who is going through both a personal bankruptcy and a business bankruptcy needs to work with a skilled Hawaii bankruptcy attorney to ensure that assets are properly listed in each petition without overlap or omission to avoid allegations of bankruptcy fraud. You must be careful of committing bankruptcy fraud, even if accidental. Fortunately, both bankruptcy fraud and its consequences can be avoided by hiring a Hawaii bankruptcy attorney to handle your case.

Does Deforestation can contribute to changes in flooding intensity and frequency?
Deforestation has caused mainly from human activities such as fires, illegal land reclamation, pasturing, etc. (Kotoulas, 1980). Deforestation promotes flooding and land degradation and reduces freshwater availability. Forest cover absorbing rainwater and reducing subsequent flooding (Brown et al. 2005). In my point of view, the restoration or creation of forested land help to decrease runoff. Numerous field studies (Robinson et al., 2003) indicate significant flood increases as a result of deforestation. This is attributed to decreased interception storage in the canopy, decreased litter storage on the ground as well as changes in soil related to infiltration capacity. Indeed, deforestation can be associated with a reduction in soil infiltration capacity. This causes more rainfall to runoff over the surface, and particularly where drains and roads enhance the accumulation and transfer of water into the stream, this can increase peak flows considerably. After forest removal if the soil can retain less of the infiltrated water, provided that the excess water rapidly finds its way to the stream. Soil water use rates tend to decrease after deforestation. The removal of trees from a large portion of a watershed, particularly if it involves increases in channelization or impervious surfaces, would increase that area's flooding tendency (Tollan, 2002).
There are numerous factors related to forest cover that have been found to inhibit the frequency and magnitude of flooding. These include a higher infiltration rate associated with forest soil, the ability of forest ground litter to absorb certain amounts of rainfall or snowmelt, and the capacity of the tree canopy to intercept precipitation, thus increasing the time it takes for water to reach the surface (Davie, 2003). It can reasonably be argued that deforestation was part of a process that led to reduced infiltration and greater sediment generation, respectively.
Ferreira and Ghimire (2012) analyzed that there is a widespread belief that forest management can prevent or reduce rainfall-induced flooding. There are three simple items in this regard: First, forests have higher levels of evapotranspiration, and the water that returns to the sky is not available to cause flooding. Second, deforestation is frequently associated with a reduction in soil infiltration capacity that results in more water runoff. In addition, retention of infiltrated water tends to decrease after deforestation. Third, forests are generally associated with lower levels of soil erosion, resulting in less soil filling up streams and rivers which would make them shallower and easier to flood.
Removal of trees is likely to exacerbate severe flooding in developing countries. Bradshaw et al. (2007) investigated country-level data from 56 developing countries on flood characteristics, forest cover, and geophysical characteristics, and concluded that deforestation amplifies reported flood frequency in developing countries.


Le Hoang, Tianzhu was described to be completely conquered by the Yuezhi, yet you say that Tianzhu was the Ganges Basin. When did Yuezhi conquer all of the Ganges Basin? Provide evidence of that. But oh, you don't need to because the Ganges Basin was somehow MORE Buddhist than Northwestern India? Excuse me, did the passage describe Tianzhu as the MOST Buddhist place, or just a Buddhist place? Your reasoning here is junk, as your priorities is lopsided.
Le Hoang, you haven't answered: You say Dongli was around Nepal, yet Dongli was described to be Southeast of Tianzhu. If Tianzhu is the Ganges Basin as you say, you are saying Nepal is Southeast of the Ganges Basin? Please explain how Nepal is Southeast of the Ganges Basin.
You say Tiaozhi is the Rameswaram Peninsula of India, yet Tiaozhi was described to be FAR to the West of Tianzhu and Dongli. Yet you say Tianzhu and Dongli are the Ganges Basin and Nepal. How is the Rameswaram Peninsula FAR to the West of Nepal and the Ganges Basin? Please explain. But oh, you don't need to because explain how it's thousands of km away from where Tiaozhi was described to be, because SOME of the wildlife mentioned for Tiaozhi matches with that in the Rameswaram Peninsula? (Nevermind the ostriches or rhinos which certainly don't match).
Daqin, Tiaozhi, Anxi, Da Yuezhi, Tianzhu, Dongli.
So Daqin was put furthest to the West whereas Dongli was put furthest to the East in the list of five states listed above. However, Le Hoang insists that Daqin/Tiaozhi/Anxi is in Southern India, which don't fit with what the Hou Han Shu said at all because that would put all three states East, not West, of the Yuezhi. And how do Le Hoang justify this? Because half(not most) of the description of animal production matches with the wildlife of Southern India, and some places were described as hot and humid....., and that's why he don't have to explain how the geographic location of these alternative places are thousands of miles in the wrong direction. I wonder what ancient geographers were more likely to get right and wrong? Whether a country is West or East of them, or descriptions of the exported wildlife that a country produces?
It's very clear,even with Indian children but someone like you don't read any text relate to Buddhism.Buddha born in Ganges Basin,he research and found out basic theory in Ganges Basin and he died in Ganges Basin,too.It likes Mecca was centre of Islam,Jerusalem was centre of Christ.All people know that,except you.
I said that Dongli should be in southern border of Tibet,not Nepal and you are pretending that you don't know.
When Da Qin = Padya ; Tiaozhi = Rameswaram and surrounding place,Anxi = Chedi Kalinga kingdom,Yuezhi = Kashmir to north Nepal,Tianzhu = Ganges basin,it is suitable with Hou Hanshu : Pandya is in west of Rameswaram,Chedi Kalinga is in west of Rameswaram and Kashmir to North Nepal is in west of Chedi Kalinga.
Tianzhi was only described to be Buddhist, it was NOT described to be MORE Buddhist than anywhere else in India. Le Hoang is cutting off my quotes to change the meaning of what I said.
Le Hoang, where in the Hou Han Shu did it say Tianzhi was the MOST Buddhist place in India?
How am I twisting your words on this? Why accuse me I am twisting your words on Dongli?
But this is just a smokescreen that is besides the point. Dongli was described to be well Southeast of Tianzhu. If Tianzhu was the Ganges Basin as Le Hoang claimed, then Dongli could not be around Nepal as that's nowhere near Southeast of the Ganges Basin. Nowhere around Nepal would make it well Southeast of the Ganges Basin, so whether Dongli was Nepal or around Nepal does not change the fact that Le Hoang's statement is still contradictory to the passage.
1. Da Yuezhi was in Central Asia, so your entire list of geographic locations is based off of a false premise, an incorrect opinion that you treat as fact in order to make more incorrect opinions. I showed you a map of where the Da Yuezhi were located, you have nothing but your incorrect opinion and expect others to take your word for it.
2. Anxi was describe to have conquered Tiaozhi, and it was described that their conquerors (Anxi) where from the East of Tiaozhi. Since when did the ancient Kalinga kingdom conquer Rameswaram peninsula? By the time of Han explorer Gan Ying, the Kalinga kingdom was conquered by the Mauryan empire well beforehand many years ago, and the Mauryan empire was to the West of Kalinga kingdom.
3. You say that the Dongli was "Around Nepal", yet the Dongli was described to be far to the East of the Yuezhi, so how could the Da Yuezhi be in Nepal?
4. You also contradict yourself.
Tiaozhi was said to be conquered by Anxi.
You say Tiaozhi was the Rameswaram peninsula and Anxi was the Kalinga kingdom.
The Kalinga kingdom didn't conquer the Rameswaram peninsula.
The Pandyan kingdom had the Rameswaram peninsula, but you say the Pandyan kingdom was Daqin, rather than Anxi.
Ergo your claims contradict each other.
5. You claim Tianzhu was the Ganges Basin and the Da Yuezhi was in Nepal. Yet the Tianzhu was described to be East of the Yuezhi, how is the Ganges Basin to the East of Nepal?
6. In summary, you claim Tianzhu is the Ganges Basin. But the Dongli was described to be East of Tianzhu, yet you say the Dongli is in South Tibet which is not East of the Ganges Basin. The Yuezhi was described to be West of Tianzhu yet you say the Yuezhi is in Nepal which is not West of Tianzhu. Daqin/Tiaozhi/Anxi are all described to be far, FAR to the West of Tianzhu, yet you put Daqin/Tiaozhi/Anxi to be directly South of the Ganges Basin.
The Hanshu says Anxi is West of Kashgar. You claim Anxi is the Kalinga kingdom, but that is EAST of Kashgar, not West.
The Hanshu says Tiaozhi is West of Kashgar. You claim Tiaozhi is the Rameswaram peninsula, which is EAST of Kashgar, not West.
Because the Hanshu says Anxi is West of Kashgar, then Daqin is West of Kashgar too because Daqin is West of Anxi. Yet you say Daqin means the Pandyan Kingdom, which is not West of Kashgar.
I suspect Le Hoang is going to deny where Kashgar is and make a new region for it, just like Da Yuezhi.
“[to the northwest of the state of Xiuxun] is a distance of 920 li [383 km]to the state of Dayuan, and 1,610 li [669 km]to the west, the the Da Yuezhi.
Ergo the Da Yuezhi is further West than Dayuan, and Dayuan was already described to be West of Kashgar. You claim the Da Yuezhi is in Nepal, is Nepal West of Kashgar? No, it is not.
Really?Perharp you have never read anything about Mauryan empire.
Mauryan empire was collapsed many years before travel of Zhang Qian(130 - 110BC).However,your information supported idea that Anxi could built in old Maurya because another name of Mauryan empire is Peafowl empire.It may be a strong argument because there were few big kingdom or empire called themshelves countries by name of a bird species(like Tiaozhi,a part of Anxi).Thank you very much.Kalinga became independent from 2nd century BC.They even attacked many other countries.
It was very clear that ancient Chinese went around desert and mountain areas and made results very differents from now.
Le Hoang, you just proved that by the time of Gan Ying, Kalinga kingdom was conquered by the Mauryan empire long ago.
However, you say Kalinga kingdom was conquered by a power to the East of the Kalinga Kingdom, Mauryan empire is to West of the Kalinga Kingdom, ergo your interpretation of the Hou Han Shu is wrong.
You say Kalinga kingdom was independent afterwards, yet this meant Kalinga could not be Tiaozhi as you say, because when the CHinese explorers came visiting Tiaozhi was not independent but conquered by Anxi. Ergo you are wrong to say that Kalinga is Tiaozhi, because Kalinga was independent as you admitted, whereas Tiaozhi was not. And when Kalinga was conquered, the conquerors came from the West not the East, whereas the conquerors of Tiaozhi came from its East.
So I wouldn't be surprised if Le Hoang got the distances from Khotan wrong as well.
So in summary, some of the wildlife described for Tiaozhi exists in Rameswaram Peninsula, so Le Hoang thinks Tiaozhi is in the Rameswaram Peninsula, and Daqin/Anxi/Yuezhi must be in India/Nepal in order to force-fit this narrative. The fact that the description of the cardinal direction of these countries is explained away by claiming that Han geographers are wrong. OK, Le Hoang, thinks that Han geographers were wrong that Tiaozhi was West of Anxi, Han geographers were wrong that Anxi was West of Yuezhi, Han geographers were wrong that Yuezhi was West of Kashgar, BUT Han geographers were right about Tiaozhi's wildlife? And not even all the wildlife listed matches with that in South India anyways. He really thinks Han geographers got something as basic as the cardinal direction of the country wrong, but somehow got the information on the country's local wildlife as correct? That's like knowing calculus without knowing algebra. This is just shameless cherry-picking to an extreme degree.
Hackneye tried to hide a half of truth.He supported distance in car road while ancient Chinese didn't know them.
Even modern day distances measure by road, why do Le Hoang think ancient Chinese are capable of measuring the distance between cities in a straight line by airplane flightpath Le Hoang thinks Han dynasty is advanced enough to have airplanes?
Again, Le Hoang is pretending that just because they got the exact distance wrong, somehow means they got the cardinal direction wrong. Except they didn't.
In summary, if Le Hoang thinks the Han didn't know the exact distance between city A and city B, then the Han didn't know whether city A is West of city B. So it's basically a smokescreen to hide the fact, but not even school-children would think that.
On the other hand, if Han geographers really did get something as basic as the cardinal geographgy of a region to be wrong, then it's almost guaranteed that they got more specific things wrong like the regions humidity/wildlife/environment, and the descriptions which was recorded don't really match with Le Hoang's thesis anyway even if they were correct. Again, it's just shameless cherry picking from Le Hoang.
Also, Le Hoang, starting from post 28 you used distances between places as a way to justify your thesis. However, you now admit that Hou Han Shu could be wrong in recording the distances between places, so you need to retract those previous argument of yours. All I did was to use the book as a way to show whether a place is West or East of other places. Le Hoang, you are the one who used the exact distance between places to justify your argument.
Rusicade(Skidda) to Cirta(Constantine) : 48 Roman miles = 71 km;straight line = 61 km; car road = 87,8 km.
Cyrene(Shahhat) to Ammonium(Siwa) : 400 Roman miles = 592 km;straight line = 530 km;car road = 910 km.
Le Hoang, you say Han geographers can get the distance between cities wrong, so why can't Roman geographers? Also Pliny said tons on the distances between places, and you picked the two that you needed and discarded the rest, how is that not cherry-picking?
Also, Le Hoang says this :If we place Sibin in Chidambaram,it is very logical.A river is Kaveri river, Chidambaram to Pamban is 241 km in flight distance and around 390 - 400 km on sea road.So Yuluo is Pamban or some places near it.
The recorded distance from Susa to Yuluo as you admit is 399 km, not 241 km which is the flight distance. So Le Hoang, why use ground distance when it suits you, but flight distance at other times when it suits you? Pick one and stick with it, you are shamelessly moving the goalpost back and forth here.
On the other hand, Le Hoang admits that Han geographers could be wrong in regards to the distance in kilometers between far-away places.... in an attempt to discredit Han geographic accounts of the DIRECTION of states (ie West of Kashgar, Southeast of Tianzhu, West of Yuezhi, etc, etc....), except Han geographers got the direction of states correct but he ignores that.
But who is the only one in this thread to justify their pet theory using the recorded distance provided by Han geographers? Le Hoang, not anyone else. He did this starting in post 28.
Now Le Hoang, why do you in post 64 say that Han geographers were wrong in regards to the distance between places? Because their description about the DIRECTION (not distance) of cities don't agree with you? Then maybe you should retract your pet theories because your 'evidence' rely on those distances given by Han geographers. Why do you use those recorded numbers when you admit that they can be wrong? You are the only one here using these recorded numbers as 'evidence'.
^I use this because your argument regarding Han geographers being wrong about distance between places only negatively impact YOUR argument, my argument do not depend on whether the Han geographers were right or wrong in this regard.
^You treat Han geographer's recorded distance as distance on the ground when it suits you, and later on treat it as flight distance when it suits you. The descriptions that Han explorers made of different states are determined to be right or wrong in accordance to how much the descriptions fit your narrative, rather than how likely they were to be right/wrong as according to the context of their situation. You argue that Han geographers were wrong about whether a place was West or East from other places, but you act as if they correctly determined the specific distance in kilometers between two different places (whenever it suits your argument [post 28, 35, 40], that is). That's like knowing how to do calculus without knowing how to do basic algebra. Ridiculous.


The suit claims that Arkema did not warn first responders that fumes from the explosions could be toxic.
Medical workers and police hospitalized after exposure to explosion fumes are suing chemical maker Arkema, claiming that the company was negligent in managing the chemical disaster at its plant near Houston after Harvey.
The lawsuit, filed in the Harris County district court Thursday, claims that Arkema did not warn first responders that fumes from fires at the plant could be toxic.
At least 15 staffers from the Harris County Sheriff's office were taken to the hospital on Aug. 31 after chemicals at the plant began igniting. Seven people are listed as plaintiffs in the lawsuit, and all were hospitalized after being exposed to fumes, according to the complaint.
Earlier, 15 @hcsotexas team members holding perimeter heard the pop & gray smoke. They experienced respiratory irritation & went 2 hospital.
Flooding from Tropical Storm Harvey cut electrical power to Arkema's plant in Crosby, Texas, shutting down refrigerators. As a result, containers of organic peroxides — a family of chemicals manufactured by the company — warmed up and began to burn in the early morning on Aug. 31, according to a company release.
Arkema said authorities established a 1.5-mile evacuation zone around the plant. Police from the Harris County Sheriff's office secured the scene.
Shortly after the first set of the containers began exploding early Thursday morning, police at the scene began "vomiting, unable to breathe," according to the complaint. When emergency medical personnel arrived, they were also incapacitated.
The complaint also states that the plaintiffs relied on Arkema executives' assurances during a press conference that the fumes were not toxic, and suffered as a result.
In an emailed statement, a spokesperson said that Arkema would "vigorously defend" the lawsuit that the company described as "gravely mistaken."
“We reject any suggestion that we failed to warn of the danger of breathing the smoke from the fires at our site, or that we ever misled anyone. To the contrary, we pleaded with the public, for their own safety, to respect the 1.5 mile evacuation zone imposed by the unified command well prior to any fire," the spokesperson said.
At a hearing on Thursday, the court granted a request by the plaintiffs' team to access preserved burn residue on Arkema's facility, and potentially take samples themselves.
"Really what we need to know is what type of chemical affected them," Mo Aziz, a partner at Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto & Aziz, one of the two Texas firms representing the group said. "Those type of effects don’t come from a camp fire."
Arkema reported more fires on the afternoon of Sept. 1, as more chemicals began igniting. On Sept. 3, the Harris County Fire Marshall burned down six remaining containers of chemicals at the plant. According to regulatory filings by the company, the events released a total estimated 300 pounds of volatile organic compounds.
On Thursday, Arkema reported emissions from another facility in Pasadena, Texas, which also experienced a power failure during Harvey. This caused the release of 700 pounds of methyl acetate and 1,200 pounds of methyl acrylate, according to company filings.
This article was updated with comments from Mo Aziz, a partner at Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto & Aziz.
This article was updated with a statement from Arkema.

"It was so easy really. There was a quick struggle but I got her in the van… That first touch - she was so light, so much smaller than I’d thought."
Frederick Clegg loves Miranda Grey. Miranda Grey loves Frederick Clegg - she just doesn’t know it yet. The Collector tells the story of a lonely young man who collects butterflies and his obsession with a beautiful art student. When he comes into a large amount of money he leaves his job, buys a remote farmhouse and prepares the basement for a very special houseguest. The Collector is an enthralling psychological thriller which brings to life one of British literature's most notoriously terrifying characters.
John Fowles is a giant of British literature and was named as one of the 50 greatest post war British writers by The Times. His works, including The Magus, The French Lieutenant’s Woman and The Collector have been translated into multiple languages and his several of his works have been adapted for cinema. The Collector was made into a film starring Terrence Stamp and Samantha Eggar in 1965. It was nominated for three Oscars and Samantha Eggar won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama).


A Model for Closing the Digital Divide?
In working to become a truly "smart city," San José is tackling issues that confront communities everywhere.
Chief innovation officer for San José, Calif.
In my previous work with an international trade association, my job was focused on closing the gender digital divide in mobile phone and internet access in the developing world. I saw first-hand the dramatic impact the internet can have in empowering people to learn new skills and get access to information to improve their lives. I worked with women across Asia and Africa who used mobile banking to save money and invest their savings in their children, utilized YouTube to learn new skills such as sewing to increase their earnings, and used mobile apps to access health information or health care when pregnant. Access to the internet literally changed their lives.
Now, as the chief innovation officer for San José, Calif., the largest city in Silicon Valley, I have the privilege of working in a global hub of innovation and technological creativity. But despite the starkly different setting, I've found that many of the same lessons apply.
San José, like many cities, has low-income populations and youth that sometimes don't have access to digital resources. Without a laptop or tablet, a child may be unable to complete homework at night and could fall behind in school. Adults working multiple jobs with limited free time may not be able to access essential services online if they don't have access to the internet at home.
Using technology to improve services is imperative to the future of San José and other cities. As a gateway for immigrants to an American middle class -- nearly 40 percent of our adult residents were born in another country -- San José has an opportunity to pilot the technologies that will ensure that all of our residents benefit from internet access while simultaneously serving as a model for other cities.
Notably, San José will be the first city in the world to test and deploy Facebook's "Terragraph" technology, allowing the city to provide free Wi-Fi service at street level throughout the downtown corridor, benefiting thousands of residents and business owners while testing the next generation of wireless systems that will lower costs for high-speed internet for everyone. The city also hopes to pilot deployments of the technology in underserved neighborhoods and "last mile" areas at the end of the local communications network.
Through these efforts, San José is seeking to be a test city for technology that ultimately could help connect the half of the world's population who have yet to access the internet or access it at sufficient speeds to be beneficial.
While most cities don't have Facebook in their backyards to help pilot innovations like this, there are steps that all cities can take to help bridge the digital divide. The first is shifting mindsets around digital infrastructure and digital skills from a "nice to have" investment to something that is essential to economic and social development. Investing in digital skills and digital infrastructure is essential to attracting new businesses and staying competitive in the long term. Small businesses increasingly need low-cost, high-speed digital infrastructure. Making sure the next generation understands how to engage in the digital world will build a cadre of budding entrepreneurs to create these businesses. And developing digital skills will also increasingly be a key driver of social mobility for underprivileged youth.
San José's effort to bridge the digital divide, including its partnership with Facebook, is part of an approach we are taking to become a "smart city." Although the city has a history of piloting innovative projects and working with the private sector, too often these projects did not have a pathway to scale. And, as the technology ecosystem became increasingly sophisticated, it became clear that a comprehensive digital strategy was essential to the city's future growth.
That's why our City Council recently adopted a Smart City Vision to serve as a guiding comprehensive framework around how to use technology to work smarter, deliver services more efficiently, better serve and include residents, and continue to compete on the global stage. It's also behind our adoption, with the help of Bloomberg Philanthropies' What Works Cities initiative, of the city's first open-data policy, designed to drive a new level of transparency and civic engagement. The policy will open up the city's more than 600 datasets in machine-readable and accessible formats by 2020.
San José's combination of innovative, technologically-focused businesses and diverse population make it an ideal testing ground for these kinds of smart-city solutions. We hope other cities will look to what we are doing to help guide their own efforts to bridge the digital divide, make smarter decisions and improve services for their residents.

You can use it at work for testing spark strength in ignition wires on gasoline engine. It is very quick and effective for this task.
The Engine Ignition Analyzer was created specially to perform quick and reliable diagnostics of non-starts, misfires, fouled up or damaged spark plugs or spark plug wires, by comparing digital read-outs of the spark plug voltage and spark burn time between cylinders on engines using coil on plug, Coil near plug. Conventional distributor/ignition coil, DIS (Distributor-less) or waste spark and magneto technologies.
1. Select the ignition system to measured (spark plug wire or coil on plug), and the number of cycles.
2. Select the measurement to show in the main display (RPM, spark burn time and spark plug voltage) and secondary display (Minimum and Maximum of the main display or the complementary measurements).
3. Place the antenna's capacitive pick-up on top of the coil on plug module, or over a spark plug or ignition coil wire, and then read the measurements on the LCD display.


Are there any books that have good information about this? Are there any types of gardening clubs?
I'm not the best gardener (most everything dies), but I'd like to give it a try anyway when we move there. Anything, fruits, veggies, ornamental.
We won't be moving for a while yet, but I like to think of things before we get there.
You might try going to local nurseries and see what they recommend. The big stores places like Home Depot and Lowes often sell things that just don't grow here so best to check with a local company.
Here is a local guy who used to have a radio show on the weekends in Denver.
Thanks. I'll have to see if I can find those books.


Each moment, our senses are bombarded with information from many sources. How do networks of neurons in the brain rapidly process this information in order to make sense out of the world and choose appropriate actions? The McGinley lab approaches this question by studying neural mechanisms of auditory perceptual decision making behaviors, in mice. We primarily use whole-cell recording and two-photon imaging in head-fixed mice while they perform auditory perceptual decision-making tasks. The lab also utilizes computational and engineering approaches, optogenetics, multi-channel extracellular recording, pupillometry, and histological methods. We are currently focused on three related projects regarding the cellular, synaptic, and neuromodulatory mechanisms of auditory perceptual decision making: 1) Neuromodulatory mechanisms of attentional effort; 2) Improved perceptual learning with peripheral nerve stimulation; and 3) Brain circuits for navigation in acoustic virtual reality.

How do we form memories? Researchers have always believed that the hippocampus is the main part of the brain responsible for making memories, but a new study shows that another brain region plays a critical role.
New research finds that apart from the hippocampus, another brain area is also involved in memory formation.
The human brain has the fascinating ability to store memories like we do books on a bookshelf. Most of the time we do not think about them, but whenever we want to access one, all we have to do is take them off the shelf.
Similarly, our brains keep records of places, events, and experiences in a memory bank, ready to access whenever we want - sometimes many years after the event took place.
But how is this actually made possible? Scientists have known for a while that the hippocampus is critical in reactivating spatial and episodic memories, while other brain regions were only thought to play a subordinate role.
However, new research from the Institute of Science and Technology (IST) in Austria suggests that there may be another part of the brain that has a crucial role in recalling memories.
The study examined the memory system in rodents, and the findings were published in Science, the journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
How do we form memories?
When we experience an event, our brains form an episodic memory. An episodic memory is unique to each individual, and the physical location we were in at the time of the event plays an important role in forming it.
The brain's hippocampus is studded with neurons called place cells, and each place cell corresponds to a specific point in the surrounding physical environment.
"Reporting" to the hippocampus is also a region called the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC), which sends input to the hippocampus and contains so-called grid cells. These neurons also respond to specific locations in the surrounding physical space, but these locations are arranged in a triangular grid pattern.
We most likely consolidate our memories during sleep and when we take breaks from an activity. This, at least, is the case in animals, which have been observed to generate events in the hippocampus at a much more accelerated rate when they sleep or pause during a task.
These events are "replayed" in our brain by reactivating the same place cells we activate when having the experience for the first time. This occurs as a result of a highly synchronized neural firing, a brain activity known as "sharp wave-ripple events."
Despite the fact that the MEC also has cells that help with spatial location, the role of this part of the brain in memory formation has, until now, been underplayed. Researchers believed that in memory consolidation, the hippocampus starts the replay, while the MEC simply helps to spread the message to the rest of the brain.
In this latest study, researchers led by IST's Prof. Jozsef Csicsvari examined the brain's activity both in the hippocampus and the superficial layers of the MEC (sMEC).
Prof. Csicsvari and team recorded the neural activity of rats while they were attempting to find their way out of a maze.
The scientists discovered that apart from the hippocampus, the sMEC was also firing neurons during sleep and waking states.
After decoding the spatial trajectory represented by the neural firings, researchers found them to match the actual trajectories of the maze.
Surprisingly, the sMEC neural firing sequences were observed to occur independently of the hippocampus. No replay firing was detected in the hippocampus at the time that sMEC was activated.
"Until now, the entorhinal cortex has been considered subservient to the hippocampus in both memory formation and recall. But we show that the medial entorhinal cortex can replay the firing pattern associated with moving in a maze independent of the hippocampus. The entorhinal cortex could be a new system for memory formation that works in parallel to the hippocampus."
"The hippocampus alone does not dominate how memories are formed and recalled. Despite being interrelated, the two regions may recruit different pathways and play different roles in memory," adds Joseph O'Neill, first author of the study.

On the 14th of August, rebellious punks rioted with police outside the First Unitarian Church on Chestnut Street in Philadelphia where " Pointless Fest 2006" , a multi-day punk festival , was being held . During the riot cops clobbered a number of individuals with their clubs and among those so wounded was our own local L.E.S. Jewels who received a nasty , large gash above his left eye . Jewels , now back from Philly might hope to relax and enjoy the lazy days of late summer in TSP but for the fact that cops here arrested him in Tompkins Square Park for an "un-opened " beer yesterday . Now after having spent a night in jail and back out in the street , he must prepare for a day in court tomorrow where a judge hearing another set of charges against him from a month ago will determine his near future which will possibly include some more time in jail . In a recent post on this blog I noted that Jewels had broken a glass recklessly in the near presence of an NYU student and for this action was charged with reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct ,both of which charges can earn Jewels some free room and board downtown ... if the judge so decides .
P.S. 26 August 2006: It seems that we may have been mislead by a witness and in reporting the facts of the above post we were stating things that were possibly not true , thus the above post requires some elaboration and possibly some correcting .
According to some witnesses to the riot in Philly , though Jewels ,who may have participated in the instigating of the riot , was struck over the back with a cops club , it was not a clubbing to his face that created the large gash above his eye . There was Mace or some such gas that was used on the crowd and as most of those rioting , Jewels ran from the scene to be clear of the gas . Jewels ran for a few blocks to Paradise City ,a Philly squat , to escape from the police that were chasing him . Running into the building he somehow ran into a door cutting a gash above his right eye . Which version , if either , is true is hard to say but Jewels does have one hell-of -a gash above his left eye and due to a judge's decision in a court here today may be in jail tonight . I did not see him on the street tonight .
In the last 2 days a number of arrests ,perhaps as many as a dozen , have been made in Tompkins Square Park , on avenue A and on 1st avenue . In the neighborhood , some have been for the arrests saying that they are justified and proper and some have been against them saying that they are for nothing but suspect and trivial infractions .Some see the arrests as a proper and just cleaning up of the neighborhood and some see them as an unfair harassment that is intended to drive them out of what they feel is their own neighborhood .Needless to say that among the the freinds and associates of those arrested there is considerable anger and also some considerable uneasiness since they fear that they may be targeted unfairly for a next series of arrests in the coming days .
Tonight Jim was at work on a new mosaic that when finished will be photographed for use on a CD insert for some one's new album . Jesse Jane was asleep at his feet and his assistant for his larger projects ,John Dolan , was reading the paper not far away . They all intend to sleep on the sidewalk tonight at 120 St. Marks Place .
Today in the afternoon police officers,I believe including a sergeant , told Jim that he could not sleep on the sidewalk at 120 St. Marks Place . Who knows whether they will enforce their order tonight . We certainly hope not .
As we all know cities change and neighborhoods change ; sometimes for the better , sometimes for the worse. The piece of filthy , stained and cluttered sidewalk and the kind of folks that have gathered on it in front of Ray's Candy Store certainly has not been an exception . This special stretch of sidewalk , still filthy and cluttered , which was once a political hotbed has changed considerably and today shows little sign of any political expression .There is still loud crazieness and certainly much drunkeness and drugs but not much is said political . This was not the case as the pictures above , from 5 to 10 years ago, show .This little place was a forum in the classical sense , hosting almost everyday ,at least in warm weather , a demonstration of something .Regularly someone was expressing a particular political affiliation or treatise for any passer-by that would listen . But for an occasional cop or two , free speach was the rule . Pretty much all of the extreme gamut of political alternatives was proselytized ,no matter how strange , radical , rediculous or offensive .One night I actually witnessed some of the local communists and Nazis drinking 40 oz. Buds together ,shaking hands , strangely reprising the Hitler/ Stalin comradeship. But people were not always freindly and they often argued and even fought physically over their differences . Those participating in this forum frequently drank,often buying illegally their 40 oz. Buds from un-licensed Ray's , with the drinking usually making the confrontations and resulting conflict all the more intense .
For the last few days Jim , with Jesse Jane , has been living and working on the roof of a building east of Tompkins Square Park repairing and expanding a mosaic covering for the building's parapet . This job is limited in scope and extent and will end soon . It is not clear what is going to happen at the Village Pour House ,the mosaic construction there is on hold . Jim and Jesse Jane may go to Vermont for a couple of weeks to work but beyound that there is little that is certain .Jim seems to have a number of possible future jobs but money is in short supply for Jim since many people see Jim as desparate and thus seem to feel free to exploit that condition offering as little as possible as pay for his labor . The overall situation for Jim and Jesse Jane is very difficult .
Recently , on several nights , Jim and Jesse Jane were back at 120 St. Marks Place .Though friends still come by occasionly to socialize , Jim and Jesse Jane still must later sleep on the sidewalk as others surrounding them stand outside a bar engaged in spirited and loud bar conversations .
Saturday night , it was clear , was a dud of an evening ,little of nothing going on ,the East Village was dead. I was standing in front of Ray's candy store as is usual , but with nothing to do and no one to talk to .Nothing was happening anywhere and thus nothing of significance to photograph. All of a sudden I heard some loud music ,I looked up towards the sound and saw a roof filled with people ,many hanging over the railing looking down over the street and yelling . It was a party .
At the corner of 7th and avenue A , above the bar Niagara on top of the building there was a huge party with loud music playing and lots of people drinking lots of beer . With nothing else to do , it seemed like the only alternative at the time ,I headed to where it was all happening , up on the roof . The street level door to the building was open , so like many,many others I just walked in and climbed the beer bottle strewn and drunk lined stairs to the roof . The crowd was large to the point of overflowing , indeed , people were hanging over the railing ,beers were falling to the street and some individuals were climbing to the roof of the building next door to find a relatively private place to urinate . This couldn't, of course , go on forever un-noticed by the neighbors and the authorities . Someone would certainly call the police .
A short time after I reached the summit and was confronted with a daunting crowd to navigate my way through ,the police arrived . I.D.s were checked and checked and.... people left ,perhaps half the crowd left for one reason or another right away . Afterall who wants to drink beer with cops around especially if you are underage ...right? Well ...eventually the cops left and the party picked up a bit .With fewer people, there was now room to maneuver ,enjoy the veiw and the party .... and it was also less likely that the overloaded roof structure would collapse . The band ,"The Scurvy Pirates" played their version of pirate rock and the crowd , now smaller , drank on. This is how it was this last Saturday night in this neighborhood .


What Is The Difference Between Turf And Indoor Soccer Shoes?
There is absolutely no denying of the fact that choosing the perfect shoe for the right surface holds great importance. This fact fits well while having to choose between soccer shoes. The soccer shoes for indoor play come with a flat sole and offer maximum traction on the hard as well as smooth surfaces. The nubs are present on the very bottom of the turf shoes; this is in order to provide the player with maximum traction as needed.
What do Indoor Soccer Shoes look Like?
There is not much difference between the appearance of turf shoes and tennis or normal sneaker shoes. The design which is offered in these shoes is majority of the times quite trendy, which enables the player to not only wear the shoes on the court but also move around in them on a casual day off the court. One of the major elements which tend to act as the differentiating factor between the normal sneakers and indoor soccer shoes is the overall look and designing of the outsole.
Talking about the indoor soccer shoes, the sole they carry is stiff as well as flat this is because these shoes are specifically made so that the player can play on hard and smooth surfaces without any problem with regard to the shows being able to deal with both the surfaces. Herringbone patterns are incorporated on the outer edge of the indoor soccer shoes. This pattern caters to the need of effectively dealing with traction.
The midsoles and soles of these types of shoes are made and designed in such a manner that is low profile so that the shoes can provide ease to the player while playing and do not have any issue while interacting with the type of surface used in the indoor soccer game. It is almost impossible that one will be able to find such indoor soccer shoes that carry high tops, this is largely because tops on such shoes act as a major hurdle while interacting with the surface. It makes it very difficult to move around on the ground easily. This mostly tends to irritate the player while he/she is trying to kick or even dribble the ball.
Different types of material are made use of while making the indoor soccer shoes. One of the most common materials which are used in the making of these shoes is the synthetic fiber as well as kangaroo leather. These materials are made use of quite often because of their lightweight which plays a major role in the payer being able to move around and play in the shoes enjoying maximum comfort level and ease. There are some indoor soccer shoes which are made while making use of some sort of mesh material, this material also carries the quality of breathable as well as lightweight.
How Good are Adidas Indoor Soccer Shoes?
Majority of the population is already well aware of the rich and large history of Adidas. They have always dealt in various shoe lines which include the manufacturing and selling of soccer shoes as well. The year in which this products line of Adidas was launched takes you back to the 1920s. This is the year in which the very first line of the soccer shoes of Adidas made it into the market and succeeded at large. Adidas totally changed the soccer game and managed to set very high standards. They unified their soccer shoes and took into account their own version of soccer by adding the famous 3 stripes mark on the shoes. The way in which the soccer shoes of Adidas are made is quite impeccable.
The brand Adidas claims and has proven their loyalty towards the customers with regard to providing comfort, quality and durability in the shoes. Adidas has always managed to come up with a strong shoes lien and stand out yet again in a unique manner. The shoes of Adidas are specifically manufactured with an aim to offer maximum comfort, durability to the final customer. The shoes are made while making use of largely leather. What leather tends to do to the shoes is that it plays a major role in molding the shoes according to your foot which offers you comfort while walking, jumping or even running. This feature is much needed in soccer shoes and Adidas managed to provide that to the customers. The companies make use of synthetic fiber since that too helps to increase the durability of the shoes and makes it lightweight. There is one more distinct feature which one can find in Adidas shoes, it is that Adidas often put overlays on their shoes.
Adidas does not only do that for showing the true quality of the shoes but they actually add in more value to their shoes in many ways. The offer the customers to rake advantage of traction in the very top of their shoes which helps the player stay easy and comfortable while exercising. The player gets more control over the ball with his/her foot while dribbling and kicking it. IT was Adidas which very soon realized the fact there is difference in the soccer cleats which are found, they are not same. Adidas roved it to the people that the soccer cleats tend to vary and largely depend on the type of surface ground one is playing. The indoor soccer game is played on only two types of surfaces which include hard and smooth. Therefore, Adidas manufactures its soccer shoes while keeping this element in mind and giving huge importance to it.
The Adidas soccer shoes speak for themselves, they contribute a great deal to the comfort level, ease and durability of the shoes. These are quite cushioning as well as ultra-supportive when it comes to playing games and causally wearing the shoes as well. Adidas carries a lot of loyalty and success when it comes to the manufacturing of perfect soccer shoes.
