Like the Sound of Music's Von Trapp family hiding in the Alps, plants may find refuge from a warming climate in the mountains.
Research in the Swiss Alps suggests diverse mountain habitats could act as stepping stones to allow plants to escape into more hospitable hideaways as their usual homes heat up.
A large, flat savannah offers little variation in temperature. If the temperature warms up, the whole area warms up.
But Daniel Scherrer and Christian Körner from the University of Basel, Switzerland found a broad spectrum of habitats in the central Swiss Alps after studying an alpine meadow for two seasons. In the rugged mountain landscape, different conditions existed close together.
The plants growing in those varied conditions were adapted to the particular set of temperatures of the micro-climates, the scientists found. The research suggests that these plants could start growing in neighboring habitats as the temperature increases.
To test this, Scherrer and Körner used a computer model to simulate what would happen if the temperature went up 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. They found that only 3 percent of all temperature conditions disappeared. Some of the cooler habitats shrank or shifted, but pockets remained. This suggests that plants have the opportunity to shift habitats, instead of just dying off.
Preserving mountain habitats is even more new important now in light of this research. A diverse Alpine meadow could save many different habitats, compared to a single habitat in a grassland of equal size.
"It is known from earlier geological periods that mountains were always important for survival of species during periods of climatic change such as in glacial cycles, because of their 'habitat diversity,'" concluded Körner.
"Mountains are therefore particularly important areas for the conservation of biodiversity in a given region under climatic change and thus deserve particular protection," Körner said.

How to build a tailored user onboarding experience
This is the second half of our two-part series: How to Take Lead Enrichment Beyond the Funnel. Read the first part here.
Onboarding is usually one-size-fits-all. There's a video or tutorial that greets every new user with the same templated experience that walks them through the product's core functionality. But if your leads don't fall into one bucket, your onboarding process shouldn't either.
Ghosting is all too common: people sign up for your product and too many of them leave. Without a strong onboarding process, you run the risk of investing time and energy into getting leads, only to lose them after conversion.
The case for tailored onboarding experiences is particularly strong for SaaS companies, which may serve multiple audiences, industries, or pricing tiers — or have multiple product offerings. An onboarding experience that accounts for such segmentation can build the foundation for a stronger customer relationship.
Let's go through how to use enriched lead data to segment leads automatically and build customized onboarding sequences.
Use lead data to personalize user onboarding
Leads can come in different shapes and sizes. The key activation event for one group of leads may not be the same for another. Things may start to diverge based on job role, seniority, stage of company. So how do you deal with diverging goals and expectations?
For example:
 - Your leads split into two groups because you have a freemium product: self-serve and larger deals where you want to offer a more hands-on experience.
 - Your product offers features and functionalities that appeal to several types of job roles or multiple industries.
 - Leads generated from a paid ad placement have a different product awareness level from those that came in from a search result.
Leverage insights about your leads, such as differences in attributes, key activation, and product usage contexts to create an onboarding experience that addresses those specific needs.
1. Segment leads to discover their aha moment
Start by analyzing whether you're dealing with different types of leads. The closer in persona, behavior, and goals each member of a cohort is, the more likely they are to share the same aha moment. (Maybe your leads look different but their actions, needs, and paths to success converge. Then the one-size-fits-all approach works!)
For example, let's say our product is a sales and marketing automation platform. By analyzing past sales and roles from enriched data, we know to break out our single bucket of "New Leads" into one of three job categories: marketers, sales, developers.
three segments of leads
Each lead type gets value from our product in a different way:
 - Marketers value performance-reporting and email-marketing functionality.
 - Salespeople get more value from our CRM and outreach tools.
 - Developers prioritize ease of integration with other sales and marketing products.
2. Automatically process leads into segments
In order to send people on different onboarding paths, you'll have to know what lead bucket they fall into. While you can have users self-select, the most efficient method is to automate it and lower the risk of drop-off.
Use APIs to enrich new signups with more data to help qualify and categorize them. That way, once you get an email address on signup, you can unlock useful insights such as:
 - Company
 - Industry
 - Role
 - Seniority
 - Technology used
... and use those data points along the customer journey — in product onboarding, interaction with sales and support, emails and in-app messaging, and more.
Once you've got automatic enrichment set up, you can send leads right to the onboarding path most appropriate for their segment.
API-enriched signup for onboarding
3. Diagnose existing drop-off points
If you've set up event tracking internally or with a tool like Amplitude, you can review steps in an existing onboarding process and plot the drop-offs from action to action. By doing this for each segment, you develop a clearer picture of which parts of the experience is serving which leads well.
Let's look at the onboarding process for our marketing cohort for our example product. Here, the drop-off from action to action is close to 10%, and 70% of leads successfully launch their first campaign.
Marketing onboarding dropoffs
Contrast that with the same onboarding process, but experienced by the leads with sales roles. In this case, there's a 20% drop-off after viewing the welcome message, and a huge 40% drop-off when it comes to installing the tracking code.
Sales onboarding dropoffs
Almost everyone who successfully configures the tracking code goes on to launch their first campaign, which is great. But we've identified a clear sticking point in our onboarding process for our salespeople segment. Only 30% of them are making it to the activation point.
It might be that our current welcome message focuses too much on the marketing functionality of our product and leaves salespeople cold — or configuring the tracking code is just too technical for this crowd.
Given this knowledge, we can turn to onboarding tools like Appcues to quickly customize the messaging and design of an onboarding flow according to the segment. Here we could try revamping our welcome message to appeal more broadly and add a call to action for sales leads. They could see a quick link to send instructions on configuring the tracking code to a developer, similar to this example from LiveChat.
4. Build tailored onboarding sequences
Once you've segmented your leads and reviewed your current onboarding, map out each group's aha moment by calculating their key activation event as well as the steps required to reach it. The more lead insight you uncover, the easier it is to find each user's "minimum path to awesome": the shortest possible route from first app interaction to successful activation.
Here's what that looks like for our example's three lead cohorts:
 - Marketers need to install a tracking code before running their first analytics report.
 - Salespeople need to integrate their current CRM to enable them to send their first outreach email.
 - Developers need to view the API documentation to set up their first custom integration.
tailoring onboarding by designing segmented minimum paths to awesome segmented
These minimum paths to awesome for our three segments of new users create the blueprint for personalized onboarding sequences, a clear path from first interaction to each lead's desired outcome.
Using that information, we can build out onboarding paths, tailoring elements such as a welcome screen, app walk-through, first user experience.
Post sign-up welcome screen
The welcome screen is the first thing a new user sees upon signup. The more relevant we can make it for each lead, the more likely they are to continue engaging with the app and reach activation.
A few years ago, the blogging platform Ghost had two distinct lead types: nontechnical users looking for a plug-and-play blogging platform and people with more technical expertise looking for a powerful, open-source, easy-to-customize solution.
Ghost old onboarding
The page offered two distinct pitches and two distinct calls to action: Test It Out vs. Get the Code. This fork in the road was a choice that set a new user up for success better than a blanket "Get started" approach. Each user would fall into either the technical or the nontechnical camp and get a more relevant path towards activation.
Onboarding walk-through
Customizing even a few small details in a walk-through, such as an in-app tutorial, can make a big difference in how new users connect with your product. Here are two quick examples from Twilio and Asana.
Though targeted primarily at savvy developers, API communications platform Twilio recognizes that new users have varying degrees of technical expertise. Instead of forcing leads to engage with a walk-through that might be too complex or just plain irrelevant, they've segmented it according to three common situations.
Developers get a link straight to the console. New users who came in for an integration head straight to adding Twilio as a plugin. Non-technical users are gently directly toward finding Twilio partners to help them get use out of the product.
The project management tool, Asana has new users self-select what type of team they work on:
Asana onboarding self-select
Then they use the selection to seed their onboarding walkthrough with relevant project templates:
First User Experience
As part of your product walk-through or in a first user experience, guide people to value and find their aha moment by highlighting their next best step.
For example:
 - If your lead completed a marketing-focused walk-through, direct them to your reporting dashboard.
 - If they came from a sales flow, open up an email outreach template.
After their walk-through, Dropbox shows a clear next step: dragging your first file into the Dropbox folder.
Dropbox onboarding 1st task
Instead of leaving it to chance, use lead insight to trigger the right action.
From Lead Insight to Long-Term Customer
When there's an overbalance of focus on customer acquisition, the harder it is to build systems and design your product experience to help new users actually benefit.
Instead of funneling leads into a one-size-fits-all onboarding process, tools like Clearbit and Appcues make it easier than ever to create personalized, purposeful onboarding.
The more you learn about new users, the quicker that aha moment comes — and the easier it becomes to retain a happy, long-term customer.

SOUTH AFRICA – South Africa's cane growers have appealed to the government to implement measures to mitigate the impact of load-shedding which if not checked will see the industry lose R723 million (US$41.9M) this year.
However, the estimate's scenario modeling applies to load-shedding at stages 4-6 which if escalated to stages 6-8, the industry could lose more than R1.8bn (US$104.3M) while anything beyond stage 8 could cost the industry more than R2.4bn (US$139 million) according to Andrew Russell, SA Canegrowers chair.
The organization said that with milling giant Tongaat Hulett in business rescue, and the destructive Health Promotion Levy already hampering the industry, these losses are potentially catastrophic for growers and the industry's workers
They are therefore pleading with Eskom and the government to urgently put short-term measures in place to mitigate the effects of rolling blackouts on the industry.
The impacts of load shedding have been estimated to affect 1,135 irrigated growers who employ more than 10,000 workers.
South African sugar industry largely relies on irrigation for production. An estimated 34% of SA's sugar cane is produced in irrigated areas including Komatipoort and Malelane in Mpumalanga, and Pongola in KwaZulu-Natal.
Therefore, if the situation continues, the growers will further part with more than R189m (US$11 million ) in additional energy costs on account of the disruption to irrigation schedules.
The losses are incurred since growers operate on a Ruraflex system, which allows them to pay a lower tariff for operating during low-demand times.
However, this power disruption has forced them to irrigate whenever electricity is available regardless of demand coupled with yield losses as they had fewer hours of continuous energy supply.
"Growers need a minimum of six hours of continuous energy for proper irrigation. As a result of the intermittency of the power supply disrupting irrigation, irrigated growers will lose up to 40% water capacity."
However, the association has made recommendations to the government for short-term measures that can rescue the sector as the industry works to save the 1-million livelihoods it supports.
Among the suggestions are restricting load-shedding to stage 4 in irrigated cane growing areas during peak watering season, diesel rebates for growers using generators, and tax rebates for those investing in alternative energy sources.

Welcome to FLAX's extensive reading system - "Fern Reader". This is still under development.How does the Fern Reader work?The Fern Reader allows English language learners to search for news articles that they would like to read about, and then analyses the found articles with a difficulty. This difficulty is calculated from a vocabulary model that evolves over time based on previous content read by this particular learner.When a learner reads an article, they click on a word to indicate that they are unfamiliar with this word, and a definition is then displayed to help learn the word. Likewise, if they don't click on a word, it is concluded that they are familiar with this word. The model is updated accordingly to reflect the degree of confidence that the learner knows this particular word.The Fern Reader is primarily based on a prototype system developed by Michael Walmsley, a PhD student at the University of Waikato, for Spanish language learners.

Lincoln Park is Portland's first publicly-owned green space: the city bought the burnt-out 2½-acre parcel of land the park sits on after the Great Fire of 1866 leveled much of the area. Originally intended merely to serve as a firebreak, Lincoln Park soon became a cultural hub of the city. Citizens and visitors both enjoyed the park's refreshing fountain and shady elm trees, which provided solace and relaxation in the center of the city. Postcards of Lincoln Park were common souvenirs of visitors to Portland. For decades, a farmers' market was held in the park every Saturday morning from early spring to late fall as children splashed in the fountain.
By the 1960s, disease had destroyed Portland's iconic elm trees, and Lincoln Park's towering shade trees were not spared. In 1970, a quarter of the park was torn up to make way for the widening of Franklin Arterial. Pedestrians coming from Portland's India Street and Munjoy Hill neighborhoods were thus cut off from the rest of the city – and from the park.
The years passed, and the park languished – its pavement crumbling and unsafe, its Parisian fountain broken, its wrought-iron fences rusted, bent, and broken. Despite being next door to both City Hall and the Cumberland County Courthouse, the park decayed into a place people walked quickly past, or ignored altogether.
But, things are looking up! We have recently completed Phase I of our Master Plan for restoring Lincoln Park – the fountain has been restored, the walkways have been repaved, and the park now has electricity for the first time in its history. There's still plenty more to do as we move on to Phase II! You can read more about the restoration plans here.

Why should I Hire a Lawyer if there is a Real Estate Agent or a Mediator involved in my House Purchase?
One of the reason is because the Real Estate Agent is not responsible by law for legal issues or urban verifications in the property purchase in Italy.
The Real Estate Agent's responsibility in Italy is limited to the intermediation work linking the buyer and the seller. This task will be carried out through the normal diligence which simple consists in the performance of aforementioned service referred to a broker with medium capacity.
Therefore, he is not responsible if in the closing phase of the notarial deed he didn't informed and alerted the buyer on the fact that the chosen property was subject to urban issues and that issue wasn't allowing its marketability.
The damages requested to the mediator were huge, in addition to the down payment (Caparra) also the damage for the non-purchase of another property that would have been optioned if the promissory buyer had known from the first moment the urban differences.
Therefore, the mediator has the obligation to inform the parties of the circumstances known to him, all those things of which he became aware in carrying out the assignment, and also of all the circumstances that could have been acquired by a mediator with only medium professional skills, with the use of normal diligence. Definitely, not legal skills or obligations.
However, nothing can be claimed about the responsibility of the Real Estate Agent with regards to the control and verification of the mortgage deeds and the urban situation.
The Italian Supreme Court (Corte di Cassazione) has repeatedly reiterated that in the ordinary diligence is not required that the mediator does any of the technical-legal investigations, such as, for example:
 - the mortgage and land registry surveys;
 - the verification of the urban situation;
 - the assessment and the check in the Real Estate Registers;
 - the freedom of the property subject to negotiation from transcripts or prejudicial registrations;
 - or even the urban planning examination.
In this regard, the same Court refers to a very long jurisprudence composed of dozens of sentences that have affirmed the same principle.
Therefore, the Court condemned the promissory purchasers who had turned to the Real Estate Agent to be compensated for damages above mentioned because of the differences found they could not be part of that level of elementary knowability for which the estate agent would not provide justifications based on his personal lack of knowledge.
Different fate would have had in the case in which the mediator received an express assignment from the promissory buyer (with specific and more expensive remuneration, different from the commission) to carry out mortgage-cadastral or urban planning surveys, his obligation to fulfill the task is clearly outlined, and he could have civil responsibility in the hypothesis that the job was not well done.
It follows that if Real Estate Agents do not check the urban situation, they have no responsibility whatsoever, except that they have failed to communicate the information known, or in any case elementary diligence, while if the Estate Agents received an express assignment with specific and more expensive remuneration he has to provide information of a mortgage-cadastral or urbanistic nature assuming the particular responsibilities of the case, but still he is not a legal professional.
In conclusion, prudence requires to abstain from reckless steps and to delegate everything related to your real estate transactions in Italy to a professional Trusted Lawyer.

The SABG-100 probe for measurement of surface contamination is designed to be used with any CSP survey meter or any other device able to handle CSP protocol. Its phoswich detector with 100 cm2 detection area makes it an ideal tool for direct measurement of alpha, beta and gamma emitters. SABG-100 probe compares to the SAB-100™ instrument with its better gamma efficiency and helps users in the field with a good probe for multi-purpose large area surveys.
The SABG-100 unit is part of the Canberra™ SMART Probe (CSP) family. It includes all key components of hardware circuitry (high voltage power supply, amplifier, discriminator, etc.). The intelligence associated with controlling those components is located in the probe – that is, control and storage of key parameters, settings, calibrations, probe ID, alarm settings (10 values for each unit to display with default setting), etc. Thus the probe is a fully integrated subsystem taking and transmitting the measurement to the instrument, which is used for display.
With high voltage and digitization of the data occurring in the probe rather than the instrument, measurement quality is no longer dependent on external device quality (cable, host instrument). Moreover, a CSP meter is using a serial protocol to communicate with the host which can be an instrument or a PC.
Calibration and QA measurements can be performed directly with the probe, without even using any instrument, by connecting the probe to a computer with the Canberra Smart Probe Software (CSPS™), allowing your instruments to remain deployed in the field.
Once calibrated, the SABG-100 probe is ready to be used as a 'plug and play' probe to start a QA measurement in CPM, DPM, DPM/100 cm2 or c/s, Bq, Bq/cm2. The SABG-100 probe connects to a survey meter using a 1.5 meter or 20 meter CSP cable.
A push-button and LED located on the probe housing selects the counting mode. When pressed, the probe switches to the next mode in a list of three and the LED is activated accordingly: alpha only – LED off, beta-gamma only – LED on and Alpha+beta+gamma – LED blinking. It is a powerful feature for the user to avoid the need to look back on the instrument when changing the mode.
The SABG-100 unit includes a protection grid that is very easy to remove for decontamination purposes. Once this grid is detached, the probe remains operational and the whole assembly stays light-tight. The entrance window is attached on a removable metallic frame that is fixed on the probe body with at screws and does not need very long to be exchanged, reducing the setup time.
SABG-100 probe is able to store up to 1000 data points from a data-logging procedure handled via the host instrument. These data are: Index, date/time, alpha measurement value, beta measurement value, selected unit and counting time. Indeed, both alpha and beta counting are stored simultaneously when in data-logging mode.
The SABG-100 probe can be upgraded (probe's firmware) via CSPS software, a USB cable and a PC.

The pressure difference between the boiling film and condensing surface is the driven force of stem flow, and the minimum pressure will cause the flowing of steam. Under the 1mbar, the operation requires the boiling surface and condensing surface have the shortest distance. The evaporator manufactured based on the principle is called short-path distillation. The short-path distillation (molecular distillation) is equipped with a inside condenser which is opposite to the heating surface, and make the operation pressure reduce to under 0.001mbar. Its relative low boiling temperature is very suitable to the material with heat sensitive and high boiling point.


"Security is not a product but a process" – Bruce Shnieder
A short answer to this question would be, yes, Roller shutters are safe. The preceding question would be can roller shutters be broken into? Just like any physical barriers such as a wall, they can be broken into. Does it mean you don't need them? No, because the level of threats that a physical barrier can protect you from will significantly add to you security to a degree that it has to be mandatory to the least.
The building material of construction such as plasterboard, brick, block, non-security rated composite panels, steel cladding or shipping containers, etc., can be breached in a surprisingly short period of time. The actual success of a breach or safety of roller shutters is dependent on a number of factors such as (1) ;
 1. Substrate material: wooden frames, steel frames, concrete brickwork etc.
 2. The Attack tools: Screwdriver, Claw hammer, Crowbar, Hammer, Disc grinder etc.
 3. Physical Barrier product (roller shutter door).
 4. Duration of the attack.
Given enough time and the right tools, any physical barrier can be breached or broken through. Which is also the reason that in most more layers utilised to reduce the risk. Simply put, physical security concerns four main areas: Deterring intruders (visible roller shutters, Security gates, sectional doors, higher walls, electric fence and burglar bars etc), Detecting and Delaying attackers (CCTV, intruder detections systems etc), and Responding to an attack (police or private personnel) (2).
With much attention being placed on the role of emerging technologies such CCTV connected to your phones etc. in the fight against crime in South Africa, it is often easy to become detracted from the basics of home security. However, good physical security is the bedrock and/or foundation of an effective security solution in your house and property. Without the delay to intrusion provided by an effective physical security barrier, detection simply tells you the intruders presence and intentions. It is therefore always important to ensure suitable physical security measures are in place and that those measures provide sufficient delay to enable the intruder to be detected and a suitable response mounted in order to apprehend the intruder.
Either the barrier is roller shutter, security gate or burglar bar. It is along this train of thought and or principle that we design our physical security barriers solutions at Xpanda.

The Institute for Law Teaching and Learning will present its summer 2013 conference on June 7-9, 2013, at Washburn University School of Law in Topeka, Kansas. The conference, Hybrid Law Teaching, features 34 workshops with 47 presenters representing nearly three dozen law schools.
Structure of the Conference
Tailor the Conference to Suit Your Interests
The conference includes eight workshop sessions. During each session, four or five workshops will run simultaneously. Participants will be able to tailor the conference to fit their individual interests by choosing which workshop to attend during each session. The workshops will deal with:
- Innovative materials;
- Alternative teaching methods;
- New technologies;
- Ways to enhance student learning in all types of courses;
- Techniques to better prepare students for their bar exams;
- Means of restructuring legal education to foster practice-ready lawyers.
Each workshop will include materials that participants can use during the workshop and when they return to their campuses, and all the presenters will model effective teaching methods by actively engaging the participants.
Benefits to Participants
Improve Teaching and Learning
During the conference, participants can expect to encounter many new ideas about a wide variety of ways in which they can create hybrid law school courses. In addition, the conference is intended to facilitate informal interaction among creative teachers who love their work with students.
Participants should leave the conference with both inspiration and the information they need to seamlessly integrate skills, doctrine, and values in their teaching, to bridge traditional law school categories, such as legal writing and doctrine, clinics and skills courses, and academic support and doctrinal courses, and even to flip their classes. The ultimate goal of the conference is to help the participants improve their teaching, improve their students' learning, and further their school's efforts to offer attractive, effective courses that prepare students to practice law.

text: Ambivalent sexism has many pernicious consequences. Since gender stereotypes also affect leadership roles, the present research investigated the effects of ambivalent sexism on envisioning oneself as a leader. Our studies tested the influence of sexist attitudes (toward women – Study 1 – and men – Study 2) on leadership aspiration, taking into account the interaction among ambivalent attitudes, personal characteristics (e.g. self-esteem), and group processes (e.g. level of identification with gender). Specifically, the current study used a 3 (sexism: hostile, benevolent, control) x 2 (social identification: high, low) x 2 (self-esteem: high, low) factorial design. 178 women participated in Study 1. Results showed that, although sexism was not recognised as a form of prejudice and did not trigger negative emotions, in sexist conditions high-identified women increase their leadership aspiration. In Study 2 men (N = 184) showed to recognise hostility as a form of prejudice, to experience more negative emotions, but to be not influenced in leadership aspiration. For both men and women self-esteem had a significant main effect on leadership aspiration.

Wax pens are a favorite among stylists and artists everywhere. They're easy to use, and they come in a variety of colors and styles. What's not to love? The only downside is that wax pens need batteries to work, and those batteries tend to run out quickly. If you're like most people, you probably just toss the pen away when the battery runs out. That's not the best idea, though. Not only is it wasteful, but it also means that the pen can no longer be used. In this blog post, we will show you how to charge a wax pen battery with an android charger.
What is a wax pen?
A wax pen is a handheld device that uses a refillable cartridge to produce a small amount of hot wax that can be used for writing or drawing. The device typically consists of a cartridge with wax and an electronic heat-up system, which warms the wax until it liquefies. After the user injects the wax into the pen's tip, they can begin to write or draw. Wax pens are typically charge using an AC adapter or USB port, but there are also model that use batteries.
To charge a wax pen battery with Android charger: Plug in your Android charger into an available outlet and plug in your wax pen battery into the Android charger. The red light on the Android charger should turn green when it's charging your wax pen battery. When your wax pen battery is fully charged, unplug theAndroid charger from the outlet.
How to charge a wax pen battery with android charger?
Wax pens use disposable lithium ion batteries that need to be charged before each use. There are a few ways to charge a wax pen battery with an android charger. One way is to use the USB outlet that your android device charges using. Another way is to connect the wax pen battery to the usb port on the back of your android device using a micro USB cable.
What are the benefits of using an android charger for charging wax pens?
There are a few benefits of using an android charger for charging wax pens. First,android chargers provide a consistent and reliable current that is necessary for proper charging. Second,android chargers are typically smaller and more portable than traditional chargers, making them ideal for traveling with your wax pens. Finally, most android chargers also have indicator lights that let you know when the pen's battery is fully charged.


How To Write The Perfect Flashback
How To Write The Perfect Flashback
Are you thinking about whether or not you need flashbacks in your story? We tell you how to write the perfect flashback.
What Is A Flashback?
A flashback is a piece of writing that shows the reader what happened in the past. The author does this by writing a scene set in the past. A flashback interrupts the flow of the current story.
Should We Use Flashbacks?
Writers love writing flashbacks. Readers hate reading them. If you insist on them, make sure you know how and when to use them. When you write a flashback you should be careful not to ruin the pacing of the story.
Readers prefer to read a plotted story that moves from the beginning through the middle to the end. Anything that interferes with this chronology is distracting. [Suggested reading: Element 7 in The 7 Critical Elements Of A Great Book]
Flashbacks lack immediacy. They are essentially backstory and they can be a terrible distraction if they aren't well-thought-out and well-written. You may even lose your readers.
When To Use Flashbacks
You should only use a flashback if it adds to your story. If you can get away with telling the scene in a dialogue exchange or a short diary entry, rather do that.
You can use them:
 1. To show a character's motives.
 2. To fill in an important piece of the puzzle.
 3. When something happened long ago and there is simply no other way to include it.
How To Use A Flashback
Before you use flashbacks make sure that you've done the following:
 1. Engaged your reader in the protagonist's current problem.
 2. Established the goal of the story.
 3. Established a threat to the goal. (This usually includes an antagonist.)
 4. Used a flashback that compels readers to know what happened in the past.
You should be able to resume the story where you left it with no significant developments having taken place during the flashback.
Example Of A Flashback
In The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins uses a brief flashback to establish the backstory between Katniss and Peeta. Katniss remembers when she was at her lowest ebb after her father died. She was starving and Peeta, the baker's son, threw bread into the snow that saved her and fed her family for a few days. Collins brings us back to the present immediately after this.
It works because:
 1. We are emotionally invested in Katniss's story (her family needs her to win).
 2. We know her story goal (to win the games).
 3. Peeta at this point represents a threat to that goal (he is her opponent in the games).
 4. We need to know about this incident to show how she feels indebted to him on some level. It could not happen any other way, because Katniss is not a chatty person.
Top Tip: If you want to introduce a flashback in the first few pages of your novel, you should probably start the story when the flashback is taking place.
How To Write The Perfect Flashback
A Checklist For Writing The Perfect Flashback
A flashback is essentially a memory. This is a good way of testing how you write it.
 1. Something Sets It Off: Flashbacks are triggered by something. Most of our memories are triggered by a place, an object, a conversation, or through our senses. Use one of these to send us back in time.
 1. Where Are We? Orient us at the start of the flashback in time and space. A clear transition must be used. Examples: Five years ago, we…; When I was a teenager…; My father used to….
 1. Keep It Short And Sharp. When you have a memory, it does not go on and on. It usually lasts a few seconds. The longer the flashback, the longer it takes for the reader to get back into the main story.
 1. Make Sure We Need It. Make the flashback advance the narrative. This memory could be crucial to the motivations of a character or it could show us how we go to a point in the story.
 1. Show The Results. Flashbacks in stories should have consequences. If we remember something traumatic or challenging, it will affect us in the present day. The reaction to the memory should be in keeping with its severity.
Top Tip: Mini-flashbacks can be used more frequently. This could be a few remembered lines of dialogue from another character when your protagonist is thinking about the past. Readers often don't even notice that they are flashbacks.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon
STRONGS NT 1906: ἐπερώτημα
ἐπερώτημα, ἐπερωτεματος, τό (ἐπερωτάω);
1. an inquiry, a question: Herodotus 6,67; Thucydides 3, 53. 68.
2. a demand; so for the Chaldean שְׁאֵלָא in Daniel 4:14 Theod.; see ἐπερωτάω, 2.
3. As the terms of inquiry and demand often include the idea of desire, the word thus gets the signification of earnest seeking, i. e. a craving, an intense desire (so ἐπερωτᾶν εἰς τί, to long for something, 2 Samuel 11:7 — (but surely the phrase here (like לְ שָׁאַל) means simply to ask in reference to, ask about)). If this use of the word is conceded, it affords us the easiest and most congruous explanation of that vexed passage 1 Peter 3:21: "which (baptism) now saves us (you) not because in receiving it we (ye) have put away the filth of the flesh, but because we (ye) have earnestly sought a conscience reconciled to God" (συνειδήσεως ἀγαθῆς genitive of the object, as opposed to σαρκός ῤύπου). It is doubtful, indeed, whether εἰς Θεόν is to be joined with ἐπερώτημα, and signifies a craving directed unto God (Winer's Grammar, 194 (182) — yet less fully and decidedly than in edition 5, p. 216f), or with συνείδησις, and denotes the attitude of the conscience toward (in relation to) God; the latter construction is favored by a comparison of Acts 24:16 ἀπρόσκοπον συνείδησιν ἔχειν πρός τόν Θεόν. The signification of ἐπερώτημα which is approved by others, viz. stipulation, agreement, is first met with in the Byzantine writers on law: "moreover, the formula κατά τό ἐπερώτημα τῆς σεμνοτάτης βουλῆς, common in inscriptions of the age of the Antonines and the following Caesars, exhibits no new sense of the word ἐπερώτημα; for this formula does not mean 'according to the decree of the senate' (exsenatusconsulto, the Greek for which is κατά τά δόξαντα τῇ βουλή), but 'after inquiry of or application to the senate,' i. e. 'with government sanction.'" Zezschwitz, Petri quoted in de Christi ad inferos descensu sententia (Lipsius 1857), p. 45; (Farrar, Early Days of Christianity, i. 138 n.; Kähler, Des Gewissen, i. 1 (Halle 1878), pp. 331-338. Others would adhere to the (more analogical) passive sense of ἐπερώτημα, viz. 'the thing asked (the demand) of a good conscience toward God' equivalent to the avowal of consecration unto him).

The Valmaric script is an early script which Tolkien used from about 1922 to 1925 and looks like a midpoint between the Sarati and the Tengwar; Tolien experimented with several similar scripts but Valmaric is the only one published so far.
He referred to those scripts as "Qenya writing", "Qenyatic" and "Qenyarinwa". He also described his samples as representing three different stages (Old, Middle and Late)
It features many tengwar shapes, the inherent vowel [a] found in some tengwar varieties, and the tables in the samples V12 and V13 show an arrangement that is very similar to the one of the primary tengwar in the classical Quenya "mode".

A new book is available about the life of Maryknoll Fr. Gerard Hammond, a missioner with more than 60 years in ministry on the Korean Peninsula. The following article was published in the September-October 2023 issue of NewsNotes.
In 2019, Fr. Gerard Hammond, MM, gave a series of nine interviews to researchers at the Catholic Institute of Northeast Asia Peace that have been published in English in a book entitled "The Romance of the Mission: A Story of a Maryknoll Missionary Who Loved Both Koreas." First published in Korean in 2020 under the title "The Journey of a Missionary," the English translation of the book is now available for sale by Amazon as a paperback and ebook.
With more than 60 years in ministry based in South Korea, Fr. Hammond told the interviewers about his experiences pastoring people recovering from the devastation of war in South Korea as well as people isolated behind the world's last iron curtain in North Korea. Looking back, Fr. Hammond's message to readers is "more compassion is needed, and more risk."
In a chapter called "Hard Times and Good Times," Fr. Hammond describes the first church where he served as a pastor in the early 1960s. "The neighborhood was particularly impoverished in a country already devastated by conquest, colonialism, and war. North Korean refugee parishioners and young priests alike, we all struggled to build our community together." Remembering the bitter cold winters and thin shoes and socks, Fr. Hammond said, "Despite all the physical deprivations, the passion and sincerity of their faith was unwavering."
For the last 20 years of his ministry, Fr. Hammond participated in quarterly visits to reclusive North Korea delivering lifesaving medications to people suffering from multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, the deadliest form of the highly contagious respiratory illness that often requires at least two years of treatment.
In his last interview at the end of 2019, Fr. Hammond said, "It is now four years since I have been able to return to North Korea with medicine for multidrug-resistant TB patients. I never had the chance to say goodbye and to mention that I had hoped to live the remaining years of my life in close contact with them. Together we were builders of reconciliation, unity and peace."
Now 90 years old, Fr. Hammond has demonstrated with his life that a culture of encounter and dialogue is the way to dispel fear and build peaceful relationships.

In Reply to: log problem posted by Lisa on October 12, 2002 at 16:29:31:
: The noise level of one sound is 20 decibals higher than that of a second sound. Find the ratio of the intensity of the first sound to the second sound.
: Is this the way to do a problem like this.
: L = 10 (log I_1/I_2)= 10 log 100 = 20
Well, sort of, but since 100 is the answer, how did you jump to that so fast?
This is just simple algebra. You're starting with:
10*log(I_1/I_2) = 20dB and you want to solve for the ratio (I_1/I_2).
Just divide both sides by 10:
log(I_1/I_2) = 2
Now, since you are dealing with log to the base 10, this is equivalent to:
I_1/I_2 = 10^2
I_1/I_2 = 100
i.e. the louder one has 100 times the intensity (or power) of the other.

15 Theses on Power
Article (Published version)
MetadataShow full item record
This article seeks to contribute to a critical understanding of the multifaceted nature of power, emphasizing its capacity to shape the development of society by permeating constitutive aspects of human reality. To this end, the article proposes an outline of a multidimensional approach to power. It does so by identifying and examining several – arguably universal – features and functions of power. On the basis of 15 theses, it is argued that, within the social world, the power of power derives from the fact that it is (1) ubiquitous, (2) productive, (3) relational, (4) intangible, (5) habitual, (6) discursive, (7) corporeal, (8) polycentric, (9) performative, (10) normative, (11) spatial, (12) temporal, (13) disciplinary, (14) circular, and (15) transcendental. By way of conclusion, the article provides a comprehensive summary of the main insights gained and challenges arising from such a multidimensional approach to power.

"Do your duty," the advertisement urged. Its message, one of patriotism and sacrifice amid the ravages of the Second World War, resonated with the young men in Westmount, Que.
Many of them answered the call and joined the Royal Montreal Regiment (RMR) to fight, following in the footsteps of others from their neighbourhood who fought in the trenches during the First World War.
"There was a very strong turnout," said Mélanie Presseau-Dumais, a historian and curator at the Royal Montreal Regiment Museum. "A lot of people from Westmount became officers. A lot of them participated in the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Navy."
The advertisement, which appeared in the Montreal Herald in 1941, is part of Westmount at War, a new Remembrance Day exhibit highlighting the contribution Westmount made to Canada's war effort — from the First World War to the war in Afghanistan.
Presseau-Dumais wears gloves as she handles the delicate items on display. As veterans who took part in the conflicts die, the artifacts become ever more valuable: they serve to tell the stories of what people lived through while at war.
In addition to firearms, medals and other military memorabilia, the exhibit is displaying items that provide a glimpse into the lives of the young Westmount men who fought in the two World Wars.
A black-and-white photograph shows a group of smiling men in hockey sweaters, proudly holding a gleaming trophy and a plaque, first-place prizes for winning a hockey tournament while stationed in England.
"They were really proud of this," Presseau-Dumais said. "Look how happy they are.… It's really nice to see pictures from WWII with such smiles."
WATCH |Take a tour through Westmount's military past:
Many of the smiling men later took part in D-Day.
The photos and artifacts behind the display cases carry a grim reminder of the cost of war: many of the young Westmount men pictured didn't make it home.
Henri Desrosiers, one of the RMR's founding officers, was one of the lucky ones. He fought in the second battle of Ypres when the Germans first used poison gas, survived the first World War and passed on a tradition of military service to his family.
This week, his grandson, Regimental Sgt. Maj. George Gohier, showed off equipment used by his grandfather, including a trench periscope he used to keep an eye on enemy lines without exposing himself to return fire. It is now on display.
"It wasn't healthy to stick your head out over the trenches," Gohier said. "Hold this over and at least you can have a bit of a look at what's going on without making yourself another casualty."
Gohier likened it to the current war in Ukraine, where snipers are active and soldiers are dug into trenches, just as his grandfather was, more than a century ago.
Weaponry has changed since the soldiers from Westmount marched to battle with bolt-action rifles and water-cooled machine guns, but war, Gohier noted, is still just as devastating. "It just totally wipes out the youth of a country," he said.
His grandfather never spoke about the gas attacks. Even when Gohier saw veterans of either world war reunite with each other, they rarely mentioned the violence they lived through.
"You could have a dozen of these guys sitting in a room," he said, "and they'd see each other, they'd nod at each other and they really wouldn't talk much to each other about the war, that's a subject, very personal but not shareable."
As veterans age, their attendance at such gatherings dwindles, adding significance to the photos, items and equipment that help tell their stories.
As part of the exhibit, the museum has created an interactive "memorial map" of Westmount which shows the homes where the soldiers lived. Many of those homes are still standing today and look much as they did when the young men left them to join the war effort.
Westmount at War is open until Nov. 13 at the Royal Montreal Regiment Armory at 4625 Sainte-Catherine Street West. It is open to the public, free of charge, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and from noon to 4 p.m. on weekends.

text: Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to produce a decision support aid for machine tool owners to utilise while deciding upon a maintenance strategy. Furthermore, the decision support tool is adaptive and capable of suggesting different strategies by monitoring for any change in machine tool manufacturing accuracy. Design/methodology/approach: A maintenance cost estimation model is utilised within the research and development of this decision support system (DSS). An empirical-based methodology is pursued and validated through case study analysis. Findings: A case study is provided where a schedule of preventative maintenance actions is produced to reduce the need for the future occurrences of reactive maintenance actions based on historical machine tool accuracy information. In the case study, a 28 per cent reduction in predicted accuracy-related expenditure is presented, equating to a saving of £14k per machine over a five year period. Research limitations/implications: The emphasis on improving machine tool accuracy and reducing production costs is increasing. The presented research is pioneering in the development of a software-based tool to help reduce the requirement on domain-specific expert knowledge. Originality/value: The paper presents an adaptive DSS to assist with maintenance strategy selection. This is the first of its kind and is able to suggest a preventative strategy for those undertaking only reactive maintenance. This is of value for both manufacturers and researchers alike. Manufacturers will benefit from reducing maintenance costs, and researchers will benefit from the development and application of a novel decision support technique.

This picturesque winter view of the Montmorency Falls depicts a gathering of early Quebecers at the base of the sugar mountain. The snow-draped cone, which was formed by the Falls, attracted many visitors from Quebec and neighbouring areas. Both military personnel and the civilian population made it their goal to visit the site during their winter outings. Many used the occasion to slide down the slopes. Peter Patterson owned the buildings at the top of the hill and the two sawmills to the left.

Geotube breakwater is not a new thing. It is especially for people who want to avoid erosion, protect the beaches, and so on. This product is also known as the geotextile tube which has so many benefits.
As it is named, it is beneficial for protecting the land, and beaches, and managing erosion. It is a tube that is filled with sand just like a sandbag, which stabilizes the coastline.
Before installing and buying this item, you have to understand its details first. So, below is more information about this product and also its features.
The Details of Geotube Breakwater
In the market (online or conventional), you may find that there are some details about this tube. Those are from the size, color, etc, and here is the detail that you should know.
1. The Feature
Let us start with the Geotube breakwater feature. It is made from the geotextile woven material which has several length options such as 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 feet.
The circumferences are also varied from 15, 22.5, 30, then 45, 75, 60, or 90 feet. The Colors for fabrics that are available are the classic black or a choice of beige sand colors that allow the breakwater tube to blend in with your surroundings.
2. It's Benefits
It is for sure that this breakwater tube has so many advantages for our nature. Those are to protect the shoreline for a long time where it becomes a long-term investment.
Then it is specially made to fave the difficult environment and UV resistant too. It will become a good cover or protection for corals and other things.
How This Tube Works
Geotube breakwater provides wave protection and shoreline stabilization. They hold sand and sediment firmly in their place. Geotube filling for coastal protection creates a reliable barrier to stabilize the inclined terrain.
It will keep the sand sand from being carried into the sea. To control the internal pressure when filling the breakwater unit like this, leave one hole open for water to flow out of the tube.
Water will allow the sand to be evenly dispersed and drained into this breakwater tube. Fill your geotube non-stop for the best results with a mixture of 15 percent sand and 85 percent water.
The normal filling rate for beach protection geotextile tubes is 60-150 cubic yards per hour. Meanwhile, the normal slurry flow rate for beach protection is 1,500 to 2,500 gallons per minute.
What Applications Can This Tube be Used For?
Geotube breakwater units are practical erosion control products that can be used for a variety of applications and projects. It will solve the problem of shoreline erosion control with woven geotextile tubes for coastal protection.
When you use this thing on the beach as artificial dunes, you can trap sand and sediment to ensure the shoreline doesn't erode. It can also serve as breakwaters or piers.
It will provide wave protection for environmentally sensitive areas and coastlines that are prone to erosion. You can stack this tube on the shore to create vertical sea dikes.
That can be a good solution to protect an area. It is because the geotube breakwater breaks the waves that hit the shore properly.

Exploring Japan can be quite an adventure, but you need to know how to ask for directions in Japanese and how to understand the directions you are given. After all, if you don't know how to understand what you're told, you might miss the very things you hoped to see.
The first thing you need to know is how to ask for directions. To get help you can say Sumimasen. (Excuse me.); or Michi o kiite mo ii desu ka. (May I ask you for directions?); or Tasukete kudasasimasen ka. (Will you help me?).
The following words can be used when asking for or receiving directions in Japan.
tonari (next to)
mae (in front of)
michi (street, road)
massugu iku (to go straight)
migi ni magaru (to turn right)
kōsaten o hidari ni magaru (to turn left at the intersection)
Be forewarned. It can be very difficult to find streets and houses based on addresses in Japan. An address is usually used to indicate the area of a building rather than its exact location. In fact, most streets are usually not laid out in a grid pattern and most of the time there are no street signs. So, having an address might not be enough information to actually find your destination address.
Here are some phrases that might come in handy when you need directions.
Takushī de nan-pun gurai desu ka. (How many minutes by taxi approximately?)
Mō ichido onegaishimasu. (Could you repeat that, please?)
Yukkuri onegaishimasu. (Could you speak slower, please?)
Chikatetsu de ikemasu ka. (Can we go there by subway?)
Try putting some phrases and direction words together. The following conversation is typical of getting and receiving directions in Japan.
Tom: Chotto sumimasen. Michi o kiite mo ii desu ka. (Excuse me. May I ask you for directions?)
Hiro: Mochiron. (Of course!)
Tom: Hoteru wa doko desu ka. (Where is the hotel?)
Hiro: Daigaku no kita desu. [(It) is north of the university.]
Tom: ATM wa doko desu ka. (Where is the ATM?)
Hiro: Asoko desu. [(It's) over there.]
Tom: Benten to iu resutoran o shirimasen ka. (Do you know the restaurant called Benten?)
Hiro: Hai. Daigaku no minami desu. (Yes. (It) is south of the university.)
Tom: Eigakan wa dono tōri ni arimasu ka. (What street is the movie theater on?)
Hiro: Eigakan wa migi ni arimasu. (The movie theater is on your right.)
Tom: Gakkō ni wa dōyatte iku n-desu ka. (How do I get to the school?)
Hiro: Migi ni magatte, hidari no hito-tsu-me no michi desu. (Turn right, and it is the first street on your left.)
Tom: Sakura Hoteru wa doko desu ka. (Where is Sakura Hotel located?)
Hiro: Hoteru wa eki no tonari desu. (The hotel is next to the train station.)
Tom: Ginkō to yūbinkyoku no aida desu. [(It) is between the bank and the post office.]
Hiro: Massugu iku to arimasu. (Go straight and you will find it.)
Tom: Hakubutsukan wa koko kara tōi desu ka. (Is the museum far from here?)
Hiro: Koko kara hakubutsukan made yaku ichi-kiromētoru desu. (The museum is about one kilometer from here.)
The measurement units used in Japan are different than those used in the United States. For expressing the distance between two locations, Japanese commonly uses kiromētoru (kilometer) instead of mile. One kilometer is 0.621 miles.

Strasser Name History
Strasser's come from the village Strass near Ulm. The village goes back to the Limes Road of the Roman empire. A thousand years ago there lived a half dozen families without last names in the village. They were owned by Cloister Elching and a dramatic event around AD 1000 gave them freedom and a name.They moved down the Danube, up the Nekar and spread across Franconia. Out of about. 40 there are now 12-13000 today across the world.
What does the Strasser name mean?
German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): topographic name for someone living by a main street or highway, from Middle High German strasse, German Strasse?street?,?road?.
Slovenian: phonetically Germanized spelling of Slovenian Stra?ar, occupational name for a sentinel, from an agent derivative of stra?a?watch?,?guard?,?sentry?.


My story
What is wrong with the use of "his" in this sentence? I don't understand...
See example:
Butterflies were flying like crazy in his stomach like they always have.

The Grammarly software, being software, cannot understand the meaning of your sentence. (A goldfish is smarter than software.) The software uses pattern matching to do its work. Whenever it sees two pronouns in a sentence (his and they in your sentence), or whenever a pronoun does not agree in number with the sentence subject (butterflies = plural, his = singular), the software thinks something might (not is, but might) be wrong. So it tells you. Read Grammarly's comment carefully. It is merely suggesting that you double-check your sentence.
Nothing is wrong with your sentence.

- n. One of certain mites of the family Phytoptidæ, or gall-mites, which do not produce galls properly speaking, but live in a rust-like substance which they produce upon the leaves or fruit of certain plants. Many of these rusts have been described by botanists as rust-fungi. Phytoptus oleivorus is the rust-mite of the orange, which produces the brownish discoloration often noticed on oranges.

Why making airport food less palatable may benefit passengers December 11, 2013 Research scientists from Murdoch University are tackling the dangerous problem of aircraft 'bird strikes' with a new, leading-edge DNA-based technique. This technique, to be outlined here in BioMed Central's open access journal Investigative Genetics, involves sequencing the DNA of semi-digest food from the stomachs of birds that have collided with planes. The aim is to discover what foods are attracting birds to airports in the first place. Megan Coghlan, who conducted the study, said the research had a very serious motivation. "Animal collisions have directly caused 221 fatalities since 1988, and everyone will recall US Airways flight 1549, which was forced to ditch into the Hudson River in 2009 following an encounter with a flock of Canada geese," Ms Coghlan said. "Beyond the potential human cost, commercial airlines lose over a billion US dollars per year due to repair expenses and delays." She said while DNA had been used previously to identify species of bird that had hit aircraft, this was the first time it had been used to look at what attracted them to airports. "This can help airline authorities remove the birds' preferred food, thereby making the area less attractive to them," she said. The study involved researchers examining 77 carcasses from Perth Airport over a 12-month period, paying particular attention to the nankeen kestrels, galahs and herons – three species of particular concern. They collected a large amount of dietary data from 16 species, confirming the kestrel fed primarily on feral mice and locusts/grasshoppers, while the galah was targeting an invasive weed species, Erodium, and herons were eating an invasive mosquito fish which occurs in the airport waterways. A spokesperson for Perth Airport said that, like all metropolitan airports, measures were already in place to reduce bird strike risk but that this approach has allowed them greater insights into mitigation strategies. "Our collaboration with Perth Airport has been a win-win situation," said Ms Coghlan. "We were able to gain valuable conservation insights into avian diets and pass this information onto airport managers to help manage bird strike risk." She noted that the high-risk species of birds varied at different airports, but that the approach can be applied anywhere in the world. The idea is already gaining traction in Denmark. Geneticist Associate Professor Anders Hansen from the University of Copenhagen said, "This is a really useful and applied application of new DNA sequencing technologies. The wetlands surrounding Copenhagen airport are attracting birds and now we are working with them using this approach to help manage the issue."

I would suggest that statistic on the kind of damage (area of damages) to aircraft would be of great help in determining ways to mitigate these sort of impact to tangible and intangible cost. Firstly, most birds caused damages to aircraft in mid-air (high-attitude) were of larger species, while those happened around the airport were of smaller birds. Secondly, aircraft manufacturer should also consider looking into studying the areas of impact thus finding means to improve the protective measure such for example the nose-dome the material used (aluminium sheet sandwiching honeycombed allunimium) should be replace by other stronger material which also allow the transmitting radar to work, the nacelle (engines) may be improvement to the air intake yet hinder birds from getting in (sharp pointing mash that allow birds to skim off). The birds feeding habit around airports may not be in totality helpful because birds have made their presence around airdromes for century (airforce runway) and scarecrow as well as big eye looking ballon were used to mitigate them even though food was not the issue then. Lastly, the increase number of air transports have taken over the skies and many airports are being builds, therefore study should be focusing on the encroachment of these birds habitat and surrounding.

text: White grape variety, predominantly known for being the grape of Campania's Fiano di Avellino DOCG in Southern Italy. Fiano is an ancient Roman variety, potentially the grape used in the production of Apianum (an acclaimed ancient wine from the Roman times). It is low yielding and produces very little juice, which prompted growers to replace it with other higher yielding varieties in the 19th and 20th century. However thanks to modern winemaking techniques as well as a demand for indigenous, classic grapes, production is currently increasing. The grape is also used in the McLaren Vale region of Australia; where production is small but increasing.

External review and validation is an important part of the accountability framework of the ARTF. This takes two different tracks:
- First, the ARTF has additional controls in place in the form of a Monitoring Agent for the Recurrent Cost Window and a Supervisory Agent for the Investment Window.
- The ARTF Monitoring Agent (accounting firm) monitors the entire civilian operating budget for eligibility to ensure funds are used in accordance with government rules and guidelines and the legal agreement between the World Bank and the Government of Afghanistan.
- The ARTF Supervisory Agent uses smart phones, satellite imagery and innovative technology to carry out asset verification, quality assurance, and data mapping of national infrastructure projects (NSP, rural roads, education and irrigation).
- Second, external reviews and evaluations are regularly carried out to assess issues of strategic importance.

Surgical errors lead to woman's brain damage
| Jun 18, 2012 | Brain Injuries
There's a reason why we in Ohio and Kentucky hold our hospitals to a higher standard of care. We don't want hospitals to be operated in such a manner that medical blunders can be excused.
Following a series of surgical errors, a 69-year old woman is now suffering severe brain damage due to what occurred during surgery. First, it appears that an improper incision resulted in internal bleeding and infection. And second, the infection remained untreated for a number of weeks. By the time the infection was treated with an additional surgical procedure, so much damage had been done that it is now likely the woman will never recover.
The woman was forced to remain in a hospital for a long period of time, and she is now confined to a nursing home. Since the surgical procedure, her family has described how her condition has deteriorated. "I saw her dwindle away," a daughter said. "She wasn't eating. She couldn't hold her head up."
Too often, we hear about brain injuries occurring due to medical mistakes. Unfortunately, such damage is almost always irreversible.
Attorneys take on medical malpractice cases because the injuries that occur are seldom minor in nature. However, such cases are frequently difficult to prosecute because hospitals will spend a great deal of money fighting such claims. Nevertheless, without such claims, hospitals would be allowed to continue making the same mistakes over and over.
This same hospital has made the news on a number of occasions, but often the news has not been positive. Approximately a month ago, a woman died while at the hospital to donate a kidney for her brother.

text: To reduce the chance of traffic crashes, many driver monitoring systems (DMSs) have been developed. A DMS warns the driver under abnormal driving conditions. However, traditional approaches require enumerating abnormal driving conditions. In this paper, we propose a novel DMS, which models the driver's normal driving statuses based on sparse reconstruction. The proposed DMS compares the driver's statuses with his/her personal normal driving status model and identifies abnormal driving statuses that greatly change the driver's appearances. The experimental results show good performance of the proposed DMS to detect variant abnormal driver conditions.

Q: Lately, a lot of newscasters, politicians, and people in general are using the phrase "as well" instead of the normal "also" or "too," especially at the end of a sentence. What is this all about? Is it correct? I now find myself using it as well!
A: This use of "as well" is nothing new. In fact, the phrase has been used to mean "also," "in addition," "besides" or "in the same way" for more than 700 years.
The Oxford English Dictionary's first citation for this use of "as well" comes from Robert Manning of Brunne's 1303 work Handlyng Synne: "Ryght as she dede, he dede as weyl."
Or, as we would put it, "Right as she did, he did as well." Brunne was translating a long poem from Anglo-Norman French into Middle English.
Since the Middle Ages, this usage has been pretty routine. Here's a more recent citation, from On the Lesson in Proverbs (1853), by Archbishop Richard Chenevix Trench: "We have a right to assume this to be a voice of God as well."
If these guys could use the phrase, you have the right to use it as well.

London - Around one percent of children could be inherently psychopathic, with parents unable to turn around their behaviour, according to researchers.
Up until now, children who lie, manipulate and commit acts of cruelty without remorse, were thought to be the product of poor parenting.
But psychologists at University College London said two studies which they carried out showed such traits are largely genetic. It means typical punishments such as the "naughty step" are unlikely to be effective.
The theme is explored in bestselling novel We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver, which is about a mother struggling to come to terms with her psychopathic, killer son.
Lead researcher Professor Essi Viding said the novel was a good portrayal of a child psychopath and how their behaviour cannot be blamed on parents. She said: "Yes, the mother was not a perfect mother. But this mother managed to bring up one child [Kevin's sister] who was perfectly well-integrated and typical, and another child who was extremely, extremely troublesome."
The researchers said such children, which they describe as "callousunemotional", form a distinct sub-group of badly behaved youngsters.They predicted between a quarter and half of children with conduct problems could fall into this category, equating to around one percent of all children in the UK.
Professor Viding said that although children who had anti-social behavioural tendencies were more likely to be the product of poor parenting, this was not the case for children with psychopathic tendencies.
She said: "For the group which has callous-unemotional traits, there's a strong genetic vulnerability.
"This does not mean these children are born anti-social or are destined to become anti-social.
"But in the same way that some of us are more susceptible to heart disease, these children are people who are more vulnerable to environmental influences that trigger the anti-social outcome."
However, Professor Viding, who presented her findings at the British Science Festival in Aberdeen, said there is some evidence that psychopathic children respond to 'warm parenting'.
This might mean giving children what they want in return for good behaviour, even against the parents' better judgment. - Daily Mail
