GALLE, August 14: New Zealand captain Kane Williamson won the toss and chose to bat in the opening test against hosts Sri Lanka in Galle on Wednesday.
The two-test series, with the second match set for Colombo, is the first for both teams in the newly launched World Test Championship, which features the top nine test-playing nations competing in a league across two years.
Both side selected three spinners, with the pitch expected to offer turn for slow bowlers.

Badin: The provincial government of Sindh seems ignorant regarding school buildings turned into ruins for years. Sindh province is under education emergency these days.
The pictures recieved by Sindh Post show a primary school named “Primary school Mohammad Usman Khakheli” building in its worst condition.
The residents while complaining with Sindh post said that the elected representative show no interest for the school and children attend classes in open air under Sky due to fear of building colapse at any time.
“we hold local administration responsible for this condition of the school building, officials have paid no attention even after many complaints and requests, villagers told Sindh Post.
The school was inaugrated in 1996 since than no maintanace work is carried out. We dont know about the teachers appointed here. We have one volunteer that teaches students in the school, villagers said.
Sindh Post tried to get comments of the local officials but no one responded any calls or messages.

Chris McClenney is a Baltimore born song writer, producer, artist and all around virtuoso who had previously worked with Vinylmnky alum Khalid in the the Grammy nominated track "Location", and with the breakout hip hop artist D.R.A.M. Now, he's recently released his double EP Portrait in Two. With songs grounded in R&B, soul, jazz, electronic music and funk, Chris is diverse in sourcing inspiration for his eclectic and emotionally gripping music. We caught up with Chris to talk poetry, inspiration, collaboration, and which others artist's he recommends we pay our attention to.
[ Vinylmnky ]: Congrats on a Portrait in Two. What can the double EP's title tell us about the music that's on it?
[ Chris McClenney ]: Portrait in Two is a moment in time for me, and also, I believe our society. The music is very personal to me, but also expresses feelings that maybe others can relate to in this world we live in. Music sometimes comes easily to me, but often times I’m stretching myself as an artist, and visualizing where I want to go to go is easy, but the execution can be a challenge. But that’s how I progress and grow.
This is your first solo project–what was the process like creating this EP?
[ Chris McClenney ]: I was detail oriented and focused. I had fun, but also had to wear a lot of hats from producing, writing to mixing, etc. It was tough, but rewarding. The most exciting was writing lyrics and telling stories throughout.
You incorporate poetry in your music. What inspired this?
[ Chris McClenney ]: To me, songwriting is poetry combined with music in a relatable form. It felt natural to include the poetry.
You’ve said that Portrait in Two was meant to be listened to on vinyl– tell us more about why that is.
[ Chris McClenney ]: Portrait in Two is meant to be a listening experience. The kind of one you don’t skip through. One you choose to actively listen to because you know you’ll have to change the “side” halfway through. When you’re streaming, it’s so easy to skip through songs, but when you’re listening on vinyl you make sure you listen because you know you’re going to have to get up in 15 minutes and change the side, haha. It’s truly a double-EP. Two sides combined into 1. A lot of these tunes were also inspired by older music that was meant to be made on vinyl. The art direction for the project was also detailed and meant to be held in your hands. I’m so happy we were able to bring it to vinyl.
Your music spans across several genres, what music influences you the most?
[ Chris McClenney ]: Music that tells a great story. It could be any genre, but the sounds and words that are used if they inspire me, I can craft colors from and that will always encourage me to create something I enjoy.
You’ve worked with a number of other artists– producing and writing– what have you learned in your past experiences that helped you create your own music?
[ Chris McClenney ]: Patience, trust, confidence and perspective are so important. You walk into a room with someone and you’re each bringing in something special. It takes time to understand each other, but when you do you get that you each are able to bring out something special in the music. The trust has to be there, but you have to be confident and decisive in your own work to bring out the best in the other people in the room.
We’re all about new and upcoming artists. Who do you think we should be listening to right now?
[ Chris McClenney ]: Check out Marco McKinnis, he’s a very talented singer, I believe he has a very big career ahead of him. Another artist, thatshymn who sings and raps, he’s got melodies for days, he’s very very talented. A friend of mine, Elujay who also raps and sings, he’s talented as well. There’s so much great music out there!

The sustainable development goals were the focus at the European Development Days on 15-16 June 2016 Erik Luntang
Universal health coverage in action at European Development Days
11 July 2016
This article was originally published on the EURO website, and can be accessed here.
During European Development Days (EDD) on 15–16 June 2016 in Brussels, Belgium, WHO organized a session in partnership with the European Commission and Luxembourg’s Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. The session, entitled ‘Strengthening good governance and aid effectiveness to achieve universal health coverage’ (UHC), provided insights on the implementation of the EU–Luxembourg–WHO UHC Partnership.
The UHC Partnership currently provides targeted support for health policy dialogues, health financing and effective development cooperation to 28 countries, spanning anglophone and francophone Africa, South-East Asia, Central Asia, and the eastern half of the European Region.
The session was an opportunity to increase understanding of the importance of support for health governance and policy dialogue processes. Representatives of the ministries of health of Senegal and the Democratic Republic of the Congo reported on key achievements of the UHC Partnership in their respective countries.
Reaching communities in Senegal and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
“The UHC Partnership has given us the necessary impetus to focus on the communities in need, in their own environment, by putting in place much-needed Regional Health Sector Reviews”, said Dr Farba Lamine Sall, Director of the Minister of Health’s Office, Senegal.
Dr Sall explained how the UHC Partnership has allowed for better coordination among national, regional and local health administrations. Regional Health Sector Reviews (RHSR), involving the health community, civil society and implementers on the ground, were mentioned as a key instrument for allowing greater and more meaningful participation from different players in health care delivery.
As a result, RHSR have now been institutionalized in Senegalese health planning. This has led to better quality operational plans at the regional level, more joint planning between regional authorities and development partners, and more targeted plan implementation.
“We hope to have proximity coaching services in place in all 26 provinces within the next 2 years. The feedback has been so positive that those provinces not currently coached are demanding it as well”, said Dr Ahadi Simbi, Advisor, Department of Planning, Ministry of Health, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo the UHC Partnership has helped to redirect focus at the regional level. While the health system is decentralized, geographical and demographical dimensions pose challenges to ensuring health coverage across the territory and for the entire population. In this setting, provincial authorities take on a critical role.
The UHC Partnership has supported the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s health sector decentralization by providing targeted coaching to provincial health authorities. This has been extremely successful, with further support pledged from other donors and plans underway to expand into provinces not currently covered.
WHO participated in a stand showcasing the achievements of the UHC Partnership and the UHC target within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Different activities of the #HealthForAll campaign were organized to stress that health is an essential component of the SDGs, that health affects other goals, and that health is a reliable measure of how well sustainable development is progressing in general.
About European Development Days
This year, the 10th annual EDD focused on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 SDGs adopted by world leaders in September 2015 at the UN General Assembly. The ambition of the health goal, SDG 3, is to ensure healthy lives and to promote well-being for all at all ages; it profiles health as a desirable outcome in its own right. SDG 3 includes a key target to achieve UHC. This target incorporates the principle of equity that unites all SDGs under the theme “leave no one behind”.
The EDD forum brought together more than 5000 participants representing 1200 organizations from the development community in over 120 main sessions and side events.

I am excited to announce that I will be featured in an article in the Japan Times .
The article was scheduled to be posted on February 24th but was postponed because they want to cover articles on the Fukushima earthquake then follow up with my story.
For those who have taken my lesson you know very well that I am an avid Red Cross volunteer. I am a disaster , CPR, First Aide, Dog ,Pet Fisrt Aide, and Babysitter Trainer.
My goal is to train as many people as possible to help save life’s.
I also work closely with the Tokyo Red Cross to proof read documents written by people who were involved in the Fukushima earthquake. These documents are the real life stories from the start of the disaster to now. The stories were written by doctors, nurses, care givers, etc who tell their story from the onset of the earthquake and what happened, how they felt , their decisions etc.They hope that through their stories we will be able to learn how to be more prepared in the future.
The article is the story behind my volunteerism and helping others as well as helping my son open a cafe who has a learning disability. I was very excited to be asked to be interviewed as the article will help to reach more people to read the documents on the Red Cross web site so people around the world can learn how to prevent, prepare and to be ready if such a disaster were to occur again.
The article also explains that due to my continual support of both the Japanese Red Cross and the American Red Cross that I was invited to meet Her Highness the Empress of Japan three times.
I will let everyone know the date of the article as soon as I do. I hope you enjoy reading it as well as I hope that you go to the Red Cross web site and read the documents there.
Have a truly terrific day.

A fist full of JewelMint – Silver & Bronze Zip Bracelets, Savoy Bracelet, Pharaoh Bracelets, Serpentine Necklace, Sienna Bracelet
JewelMint Ever Frost Ring
It’s officially fall, which means it’s time to pile on the accessories, and the trend this season is to mix up your metals. One reason (of many) I love JewelMint so much is because they make the trend so dang easy to pull off. If you are a beginner to mixing metals, try working with either all shiny or all tarnished metals and mix in a little bling here and there – dark stones for tarnished metals, or light and bright stones for shiny metals. The JewelMint Ever Frost ring combines gold, silver, and white enamel, so any color shiny metal accessories will pair perfectly.
For a how-to tutorial on this look, check out the post over at The Beauty Department. To add in another metal, I deviated from the design just a bit to add in the rose gold dots with my dotting tool. I used colors I had on hand including: China Glaze Jingle Bells for the base color on all nails, Sally Hansen Silver Sweep for the tips, Deborah Lippmann Boom Boom Pow for the accent finger (Sephora by OPI Only Gold For Me is an exact dupe at half the price) and China Glaze Hi-Tek for the rose gold dots.
So what do you think of this mixed metals manicure? Is this something you would try? If so, I hope you’ll share your pics in the comments. I always love hearing from you all!

A randomized clinical trial to reduce patient prehospital delay to treatment in acute coronary syndrome
Dracup, Kathleen, McKinley, Sharon, Riegel, Barbara, Moser, Debra, Meischke, Hendrika, Doering, Lynn, Davidson, Patricia, Paul, Steven M., Baker, Heather and Pelter, Michele M.. (2009). A randomized clinical trial to reduce patient prehospital delay to treatment in acute coronary syndrome. Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes. 2(6), pp. 524-532. https://doi.org/10.1161/CIRCOUTCOMES.109.852608
|Authors||Dracup, Kathleen, McKinley, Sharon, Riegel, Barbara, Moser, Debra, Meischke, Hendrika, Doering, Lynn, Davidson, Patricia, Paul, Steven M., Baker, Heather and Pelter, Michele M.|
Background— Delay from onset of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) symptoms to hospital admission continues to be prolonged. To date, community education campaigns on the topic have had disappointing results. Therefore, we conducted a clinical randomized trial to test whether an intervention tailored specifically for patients with ACS and delivered one-on-one would reduce prehospital delay time.
Methods and Results— Participants (n=3522) with documented coronary heart disease were randomized to experimental (n=1777) or control (n=1745) groups. Experimental patients received education and counseling about ACS symptoms and actions required. Patients had a mean age of 67±11 years, and 68% were male. Over the 2 years of follow-up, 565 patients (16.0%) were admitted to an emergency department with ACS symptoms a total of 842 times. Neither median prehospital delay time (experimental, 2.20 versus control, 2.25 hours) nor emergency medical system use (experimental, 63.6% versus control, 66.9%) was different between groups, although experimental patients were more likely than control to call the emergency medical system if the symptoms occurred within the first 6 months following the intervention (P=0.036). Experimental patients were significantly more likely to take aspirin after symptom onset than control patients (experimental, 22.3% versus control, 10.1%, P=0.02). The intervention did not result in an increase in emergency department use (experimental, 14.6% versus control, 17.5%).
Conclusions— The education and counseling intervention did not lead to reduced prehospital delay or increased ambulance use. Reducing the time from onset of ACS symptoms to arrival at the hospital continues to be a significant public health challenge.

This is a companion article to my earlier review of Cut to the Chase. Check that out here.
Tackling the Specifics
This book is not just one long book about writing for television, but rather it is broken into informative, specific subsections about what aspect of television writing you intend to tackle. The book has three sections:
Section One: Writing your One-Hour Television Drama Specs and Pilots
Section Two: Writing Your Half-Hour Television Comedy Specs and Pilots
Section Three: Being a Professional in the Television Business
At a glance, readers can see what applies to them and use the book as a helpful, immediate reference for their needs.
The Business Side of Writing
Inside the Room gives helpful writing instructions--information about outlining, creating a television story, what makes a sitcom funny, etc.--but it also addresses the business side of writing. An entire section of the book is dedicated to helping TV writers break into the company scene or get their TV script noticed. This section is practical and extremely helpful, with details about the television industry that are hard for anyone to learn who’s never experienced it firsthand.
The product details of Inside the Room as listed by Amazon are:
- Paperback: 272 pages
- Publisher: Avery (August 6, 2013)
- Language: English
- ISBN-10: 1592408117
- ISBN-13: 978-1592408115
- Product Dimensions: 6 x 0.7 x 9.1 inches
- Shipping Weight: 7.2 ounces
- Average Customer Review: 4.6 out of 5 stars (14 customer reviews)
- Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #192,752 in Books, #141 in Books > Humor & Entertainment > Movies > Screenwriting, #730 in Books > Humor & Entertainment > Television, #905 in Books > Reference > Writing, Research & Publishing Guides > Writing > Writing Skills
Click here to buy the book on Amazon, available in both Kindle and Paperback versions.
Here’s a sampling of some top reviews:
“The instructors at UCLA Extension are working professionals, they have their own takes on the industry and you know you are getting real, not jaded, opinions about the entertainment business.”
- Stuart Beattie, writer/director, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
“Inside the Room should be required reading for anyone embarking on or dreaming of a career in television. Like the classes I took at UCLA Extension when I was starting out, it demystifies the process of becoming a working television writer and tells you how to go about it. Most of all, it lets you know it’s possible.”
- Carol Barbee, writer/producer, Touch, Hawaii Five-O, Jericho, and Judging Amy
- Lee Hollin, director, drama development, CBS Television Studios
Some of the complaints for the book include:
“[Because] it was written by multiple people [it] is often repetitive.”
- Ayu, Goodreads reviewer
There is some informational overlap in the sections handled by different authors. This is a natural danger of having a book written by multiple individuals rather than one.
“Aspiring writers might still want to check out a screenwriting book or two.”
- Lauren, Goodreads reviewer
This book deals only with the specifics of writing for television, which means it doesn’t hit on the specifics of screenwriting technique such as crafting dialogue, making memorable characters, or creating subtext. It operates under the assumption that the reader is already familiar with the basics of screenwriting in general.
While there are screenwriting guides galore, there are very few that deal specifically with writing for television. If it’s something you want to pursue, Inside the Room is the book to start with.

Adjustments on a riflescope are commonly made by turning or “dialing” a turret (the knob on top and side of your riflescope). When dialing a turret, an audible and tactile click is made indicating that an adjustment has been made. Each click changes the angle in which light is being reflected by moving parts inside the scope. By changing the angle of the light, the reticle appears to shift up or down, giving the shooter room to adjust to the point of impact.
There are a myriad of ways to tweak and optimize elevation adjustments on a rifle, but one thing that you can’t do is change the adjustment range of your riflescope. The number of clicks you get on your windage and elevation turrets will remain the same regardless of the scope base, rings, or optic accessories added to the rifle. If a riflescope has 100 MOA of elevation adjustment and is mounted to a 20 MOA base, you still only have 100 MOA of adjustment in the scope – you’ve just dropped the angle of the riflescope itself by 20 MOA to get more functional use out of the 100 MOA adjustment range in the scope.
The amount of adjustment in the elevation turret is particularly important when shooting at greater distances or when changing between supersonic and subsonic ammunition like one might do with a rifle chambered in the popular 300 BLK cartridge. If you know your cartridge will have a significant amount of drop at the distance you intend to shoot, you will want enough adjustment in your elevation turret to compensate for that drop. Understanding how much drop you will encounter will depend on a number of factors, the primary factor being the cartridge.
On average, a rifle chambered in .308 Winchester firing a 178 grain bullet out of a 24” barrel zeroed at 200 yards will drop 50.9” at 500 yards, roughly 9.7 MOA of elevation adjustment. With the exact same bullet, barrel length, and zero, a rifle chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum will drop only 37.6”, or a roughly 7.2 MOA adjustment. As shooting distances push beyond 500 yards, the bullet drop will increase for both cartridges and demand even greater range of adjustment from the elevation turret. The significant difference in bullet drop between these cartridges can be attributed to their different muzzle velocities.
For the most part, faster muzzle velocities correspond to flatter trajectories and less bullet drop to a certain point. With less bullet drop, less elevation adjustment is needed to dial your reticle back to your bullet’s point of impact. Of course, bullets don’t fly forever and every cartridge will exhibit significant bullet drop at some distance. The point then, is to figure out for yourself what that distance will be for your particular rifle and what distance you’re capable of making accurate shots to.
The best way to figure this out is to chronograph your rifle with the ammunition you intend to use on a hunt or in a competition, then input that data into a ballistic calculator. There are a variety of different ballistic calculator apps for mobile phones available for cheap or free, so if you’re just starting out, download a free one and get started. A quick search online will also reveal a number of free calculators available in website form. Every app is different, but the key information most ask for is as follows:
Some manufacturers offer BC and muzzle velocity averages printed on the box or listed on their website, so if you are unable to borrow a chronograph, this data should suffice until you decide to get competitive.
A Bullet Drop Compensating reticle, or BDC reticle, is usually comprised of a matrix of etchings used to represent given measurements at varying distances, allowing the shooter to make his or her adjustments “in the scope” by placing the appropriate hash marks over the target – this is called a holdover. BDC reticles, have a tendency to be very “busy” visually and can be intimidating for new shooters, but they are extremely efficient with practice.
By contrast, custom turrets are made to simplify elevation adjustments made with the turret as opposed to “in the scope” like BDC reticles. This is accomplished by etching 200 yard, 300 yard, 500 yard, and so on into the turret using data for a specific rifle and cartridge combination.
Custom turrets are also extremely efficient, and generally require less practice and training to use effectively.
For example, if we know a rifle is zeroed at 200 yards and the bullet will drop 50.9” at 500 yards, the turret will be etched with a “500” mark at the roughly 9.7 MOA elevation adjustment. Elevation turrets are commonly built with .25 MOA clicks, meaning each click will adjust the reticle either up or down by .25 MOA. With a .25 MOA turret, our 9.7 MOA adjustment equates to about 39 clicks (which would actually be a 9.75 MOA adjustment). Rather than counting out 39 clicks, a custom turret is etched or otherwise marked to indicate the adjustment for that distance.
Build quality is extremely important for both reticles and custom turrets alike, as shotty manufacturing practices will make themselves known when shooting for precision. If a manufacturer advertises .25 MOA or .1 Mil turrets, these adjustments should be exact throughout the full range of adjustment on the turret. Lower quality optics may not actually make adjustments as precisely as higher quality optics, and this becomes evident when performing “tracking” tests. A riflescope with 100 MOA of elevation adjustment (50 up and 50 down) and .25 MOA clicks should adjust 52.35” up and 52.35” down at 100 yards. To avoid finding a target large enough to test this at 100 yards, tracking can be tested at shorter distances like 25 to 50 yards.Since it’s difficult to perform a tracking test on a riflescope you don’t own, in-depth reviews can be found online and in publications like Western Hunter Magazine where these tests are performed by subject-matter experts who give honest feedback on how the optics performed. These reviews are a great resource to get as much information as possible before making a riflescope purchase. Talking to someone on our team is always an option as well. If you’re interested in performing your own tracking test, National Shooting Sports Foundation has a great video that outlines exactly how this is done. Similar tests can be performed with a BDC reticle to ensure each mark is etched accurately.

Microsoft’s new Work Trend Index Special Report, entitled “Technology Can Help Unlock a New Future for Frontline Workers”, suggests that 78 percent of frontline workers in the UK claim to feel “very bonded” to co-workers because of shared stress brought on by the pandemic and the shift to new ways of working.
However, the study also revealed that these staff feel overworked, exhausted and unsupported by management. 55 percent of frontline workers said they do not feel valued as an employee, 63 percent want more help with physical exhaustion and 58 percent need more mental health support.
57 percent of UK frontline staff also say worker shortages due to the pandemic are making it difficult for them to do their job, with 69 percent believing that work stress will stay the same or worsen in the coming year.
This is leading many frontline employees to move jobs, with more money, a better work-life balance and the chance for pay increases cited as the top reasons.
To combat these issues, bosses must listen to their staff and address their concerns. For example, 56 percent of UK frontline workers are excited about the job opportunities that technology can bring, while a third claim they do not have the right tech to do their job effectively, and over half did not receive proper training to use digital tools.
Further details can be found on the Work Trend Index microsite here.

There are two desks in my home. One looks out towards mama’s bird bath and the field across the road. I write there. It’s quiet and clean, serene and special. The story was written, “Angels and Teachers of Grace”. I am satisfied with its message.
The solitude of my empty home calls me down the hall and I begin slightly half-hearted until I continue.
This is my pattern.
Until I go from believing the ability has faded, the inspiration has waned to taking away and adding to, blending and stepping away for drink to return with new eyes.
Then, I’m back there, me again.
The place unexplainable, the place of what rests inside, in maybe a little hollowed out sort of cocoon, my soul is there, is found and is given its due.
Yesterday, I shared some thoughts I’d been thinking when our teacher asked for comments. Men and women glanced my way and, I believe wondered, “Is she different?”
Dazed looks that I can’t decide are either, “Where does she come up with these thoughts?” or “Who on earth thinks so much?” or maybe “There she goes again, will she always have something to say?”
Empathy, noticing, feeling, understanding, contemplating, I was born for that.
We discussed being in the “family of God” and I offered up it can be difficult because of human nature to always get along and for people like me who truly prefer to be alone, for people who must be alone to sustain their souls and sense.
No comments, just looks.
This is why, I listened to the songs, in the way too cold because of the thermostat sanctuary, I prayed with open hands for all mentioned and then about three quarters of the way in, I picked up my purse, my Bible and quietly left the building.
Because, my soul craved to be alone and I followed its beckon.
And I listened and returned, to my place of peace.
Art and words, free and freeing.
“…to guide us to the path of peace.”
Luke 1:78-79 NLT

Sources told Page Six that Kanye is “disturbed” by reports that Kim is starting their divorce. He says, “He’s angry because now it looks like she’s divorcing him. But he’s actually been saying a year ago that they have nothing in common outside of their kids and that he wants to stop. World trouble. To try to save their marriage. He just allowed her to hand over the papers first, to give her more … dignity “.
It was clear for a long time that the cake was over between the reality star and the rapper. Kanye’s bid to run for the presidency – and the ensuing outburst of anger – was the last straw for Kim, according to several sources. But Kanye, too, was eager to see the end of his marriage coming: “He’s tired of being hooked with the Kardashians for so long,” a source told Page Six. That Kim takes it. ”
In any case, the rapper does not waste his time analyzing what went wrong. According to various sources, Kanye is already thinking of a new love. She said he had to be an artist, “a creative person who speaks the same language as himself.”
“Communicator. Avid web fanatic. Alcohol practitioner. Award-winning organizer. Bacon advocate.”

Arizona Summit Law School has nation's lowest bar passage rate for '15 graduates
Sixty percent of Arizona Summit Law School graduates passed the bar exam within two years, according to data from American Bar Association.
A private Phoenix law school placed on probation by the American Bar Association had the lowest passage rate on the bar exam in the country for its 2015 graduates, according to data released by the ABA.
The accrediting body for law schools on Thursday released for the first time "ultimate" bar passage rates, showing the percentage of graduates who passed the bar within two years of graduation, either on their first try or subsequent attempts. Previously, the ABA only published rates of those passing the test on their first attempt.
Arizona Summit Law School ranked last among the 202 ABA-approved law schools, with 60 percent of 2015 graduates passing the bar exam within two years. The average for all schools was 88 percent.
Barry Currier, the ABA's managing director of accreditation and legal education, said in a statement that the data provides a snapshot of how each school's students are doing over a two-year span.
The ABA won't use the two-year rates in evaluating whether law school are complying with its standards because that formula uses a longer period of time.

"But these reports provide important consumer information for students considering whether and where to attend law school and for others with an interest in legal education," he said.
Ultimate bar passage rates are considered important because they include students who don't pass the exam on the first try but go onto pass at some point. A majority of states requires graduates to pass the exam in order to practice law.
The two other law schools in Arizona posted passage rates above or near the national average. Arizona State University's Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law had a 93 percent passage rate over two years while the University of Arizona's James E. Rogers College of Law was at 86 percent.
Don Lively, president of Arizona Summit Law School, said the school's ultimate bar passage rate for all graduates is 75 percent. This percentage covers a longer time span than the two-year data released by ABA this week.
"We do bring in people who are in catch-up mode due to either economic or historical disadvantages. So it’s not surprising they need more than one opportunity to pass the bar examination, and ABA standards accommodate that," he said.
Arizona Summit Law School in downtown Phoenix was put on probation in March 2017 for being out of compliance with ABA standards for bar exam passage rates and remains on probation after the ABA notified the school in January that it was out of compliance concerning its finances.
The ABA warned the school last year that it could take additional sanctions "up to and including withdrawal of (ABA) approval," if conditions didn't improve.
If Arizona Summit were to lose its accreditation, its graduates wouldn't be able to sit for the bar exam in Arizona and many other states.
The school once boasted high passage rates on the bar. But the rates have dropped in the last few years. Only one out of four Arizona Summit graduates passed the test on the first attempt, according to the most recent test results released in October. By comparison, three out of four passed the exam at ASU and UA law schools.
School officials have said they are making every effort to comply with ABA standards.
Arizona Summit Interim Dean Penny Willrich said in an October interview with The Arizona Republic that the school has raised its admission standards for incoming students, requiring higher grade-point averages and higher scores on the Law School Admission Test.
GPA and LSAT scores are two factors that can influence how well students do in law school and whether they pass the bar exam after graduation.
Willrich said the school has increased rigor in the classroom and in grading, and adjusted curriculum to make it more like traditional law schools. Students are strongly encouraged to enroll in bar-preparation programs, she said.
"My goal is to take us back to a time when we were very successful on the bar and had 75 and 80 percent (pass) range," she said in October. "I think we can get there with all the changes that have taken place. But of course, it’s going to take a little bit of time."
Arizona Summit is one of three schools started by InfiLaw Corp., a for-profit company.
The InfiLaw schools were founded more than a decade ago with the mission of diversifying the legal profession. Arizona Summit has won awards for its diverse student population, which is about 41 percent minority — higher than either ASU's or UA's law schools.
But law-school watchdogs have criticized the school for admitting too many students with lower LSAT scores over the years.
The school started in 2005 with 27 students in its inaugural class but added hundreds more over time. Enrollment reached the 700s by 2011 and peaked at around 1,000 by 2013. Student enrollment has since declined to around 200.
InfiLaw's other two schools have recently run into problems.
InfiLaw's Charlotte School of Law closed in August 2017 after being put on probation by the ABA the previous year and after the U.S. Department of Education pulled its federal student-loan funding.
Former students have filed three federal lawsuits, accusing the Charlotte school and its corporate owners of fraud and breach of contract.
In October, the ABA notified InfiLaw's Florida Coastal School of Law that it was “significantly out of compliance” with the ABA’s standards.
Standards cited by the ABA include maintaining a rigorous program of legal education that prepares students for passing the bar, providing academic support and following sound admissions practices.
These were the similar concerns that prompted the ABA to put Arizona Summit on probation last year.
Here are the 10 schools with highest passage rates, according to data released Thursday from the ABA. The data includes students who graduated from law school in 2015 and who passed the bar exam within two years of graduation.
10 schools with highest passage rates
Baylor Law School, Waco Texas: 100%.
University of Wisconsin Law School, Madison: 100%. *
University of Pennsylvania Law School: 99%.
Marquette University Law School, Milwaukee, Wisconsin: 99%. *
University of Virginia School of Law, Charlottesville: 99%.
Yale Law School, New Haven, Connecticut: 99%.
University of Chicago Law School: 99%.
University of Washington School of Law, Seattle: 99%.
Stanford Law School, California: 99%.
University of Iowa College of Law, Iowa City: 98%.
* Wisconsin has what's called "diploma privilege," which allows graduates to practice law without taking the bar exam.
St. Mary's University School of Law, San Antonio was originally listed as having a 65% passage rate by the ABA. The ABA has since updated the school's passage rate to 90%.

Glycine, an amino acid found in proteins (especially collagen), has multiple biochemical functions throughout the body. Glycine is the smallest of the 20 amino acids that are found in proteins, but it is extremely important for amino acid conjugation – a major hepatic detoxification pathway in the liver – and for the production of glutathione, DNA, and hemoglobin.
In addition, glycine aids in joint and cartilage repair and protection, helps to support healthy neurological functioning, provides an important component for healthy REM and delta sleep patterns, and promotes a healthy circadian rhythm.
Cartilage repair and protection:
Joints are made primarily of collagen. In the collagen matrix, glycine occupies every third position. Without adequate glycine, the body cannot make collagen for joint repair and function
Healthy neurological function:
Glycine is a major inhibitory transmitter in the central nervous system, exerting postsynaptic inhibition that is important for control of excitability of motor neurons, auditory processing, pain transmission, and other functions.
Healthy REM and Delta sleep
Studies show that 3 grams of glycine at bedtime can improve sleep quality, shorten sleep latency, and lessen daytime sleepiness in healthy adults.
Glycine is a colorless and sweet-tasting crystalline that can be used to sweeten drinks or powdered supplements without altering blood glucose levels.

We had already planned to record the 166th episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast on Thursday morning, and then we went into CRAZY HYPER URGENT MODE when the news broke that top Rockies prospect Brendan Rodgers is reportedly headed to the big leagues on Friday. What does it all mean, Basil? We'll look at what Rodgers' brilliant start to the 2019 season with Triple-A Albuquerque means, how the Rockies can get him everyday playing time, and what the future looks like for the infield at large.
Plus, the Rockies are coming out of one of the strangest two-game series we've seen in -- ever. We'll look back at the last two days in Boston, the bizarre 24-strikeout performance that still somehow turned into a win, and the fact that getting a split on the road is always the goal, and somehow the Rockies did that against the defending World Series champions.
Plus, the Rox head to Philadelphia this weekend to take on the Fightin' Bryce Harpers. We'll take a look at Harper's recent struggles and what they might mean for the Phils going forward.
All that and more is here on the 166th episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Swing and miss with it! A lot!

Effects of Annealing on Microstructure and Microhardness of TA15 Titanium Alloy Processed by Equal Channel Angular Pressing
The primary purpose of the present work is to investigate the effects of annealing after equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) on microstructure and microhardness of TA15 titanium alloy. A study was performed by annealing treatment on the microstructure evolution and microhardness variation of ECAPed TA15 alloy. The results state that, static recrystallization occurred distinctly during annealing after ECAP. Since a sample was annealed at a proper temperature and for proper time after ECAP, a larger amount of well globularized and more homogeneous equiaxed α phase has been attained, grains have not grown observably, and the relief of residual stress and work hardening for subsequent processing and using has also been achieved. Accordingly, the optimum annealing parameters of ECAPed TA15 alloy were optimized to be 973 K and 1 hour. The microhardness level of the sample annealed after ECAP was lower than that unannealed, and the microhardness level decreased with the increasing annealing temperature and time.

Rechargeable Hand Warmers to Keep You Nice and Toasty
Give chilly hands the cold shoulder with a portable warmer!
Is it getting hot in here? With a rechargeable, portable hand warmer, yes! Pop one of these mobile marvels into your briefcase, purse, or pocket and you’ll never get cold hands (or feet if you want to throw one in your shoe) again. They deliver a surprisingly powerful jolt of warmth for something that’s about the size of a computer mouse. Let’s find one for you!
Ergonomic DesignCheck Price
Hand warmers are helpful not only for run-of-the-mill cold hands but also more serious conditions like Reynauds and arthritis. Bonus: They’re less wasteful, more dependable, and ultimately more cost-effective than disposable warmers.
Trusted BrandCheck Price
You’ll probably end up using your hand warmer more than you think. If you’re a hockey parent, like to tailgate at football games, take long winter walks, have to sit in your car while it heats up, prefer outdoor dining in the winter months or have a cold office, it’s sure to come in handy! (Sorry.)
Miniature MarvelCheck Price
One of the best things about rechargeable hand warmers is that they double as a power bank to charge all your gear. Check the specs before you buy; but many models are compatible with iPhones, Samsung Galaxys, and Androids.

U., Navsari- 396 450POTASSIUM DYNAMICS IN SOIL AND ITS IMPACT ON CROP PRODUCTION2
3 Introduction PotassiumThe role of potassium in increasing the yield of crops and improving the quality of produces has been in the agenda of soil scientists.Potassium is the most abundant macronutrient in soils. It is also the seventh most common element in the lithosphere which contains on average 2.6% potassium. The total potassium content of Indian soils varies from 0.5 to 3.0%. Total potassium present in soils, more than 98% occurs in primary and secondary minerals and the rest occurs in either fixed or non-exchangeable form or exchangeable (adsorbed) form or in soil solution.
Role of Potassium to increase crop yield4 Increases growth and improves drought resistance for crop. Activates many enzyme systems. Maintains turgor; reduces water loss and wilting. In photosynthesis and food formation. Reduces respiration, preventing energy losses. Enhances translocation of sugars and starch. Produces grain rich in starch. Builds cellulose and reduces lodging. To helps for crop diseases resistance.
FORMS OF SOIL K6 There are four forms of K in soil:
Solution KExchangeable KFixed or non exchangeable KStructural or mineral K
1. Soil Solution K7This is the potassium present in soil solution and measured by extracting the soil with distilled water.Amount of water-soluble K generally comparable to those determined by electro-ultrifilitration, a technique proposed by Nemeth (1979).Water-soluble K in soil may vary form 1 to 10 ppm in soil.Solution K concentration is important for successful crop production specially maturity condition for crop.
2. Exchangeable K8This is potassium held in the exchange complex of 2:1 layer silicates.soil containing mica group (

Boko Haram jihadists have killed at least seven people in a Christmas Eve attack on a village in the restive northeast of Nigeria, local sources told AFP on Friday.
Security agencies have warned in recent days of an increased risk of attacks during the Christian holiday.
Fighters in trucks and motorcycles stormed Pema, a predominantly Christian village in the state of Borno, on Thursday, firing “indiscriminately” and setting buildings on fire, said Abwaku Kabu, a militia leader.
In many parts of Nigeria, communities have resorted to self-defense by armed vigilantes or militias, working alongside the military.
“Terrorists killed seven people, burned 10 homes and looted food supplies that were to be distributed to residents to celebrate Christmas,” Kabu said.
The body was found Friday morning, local community leader Ayuba Alamson said, increasing the death toll to seven.
The charge could rise as villagers fled into the bushes during the attack, and some people are still wanted.
The attackers, who were driving from a nearby forest enclave of Sambis, looted medical supplies from the hospital before setting it on fire, a militia leader said, adding that they also burned the church and kidnapped the priest.
The village is located just 20 kilometers from Chibok, where Boko Haram kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls six years ago.
Separately Thursday, gunmen attacked another Christian community in Garkida, in the neighboring state of Adamawa, looting drugstores and food supplies before setting homes on fire, AFP residents said.
There were no reports of casualties in the attack.
The Nigerian Security Agency, the Department of State Services, issued a warning on Tuesday about the planned attacks.
The DSS asked Nigerians to “be vigilant and report unusual developments”, while assuring that it was “cooperating with other sister agencies to ensure that appropriate measures are taken to protect lives and property”.
In a statement Thursday, President Muhammadu Buhari “reiterated his administration’s promise to remain adamant in the face of the Boko Haram insurgency, as well as other forms of crime.”
“For me, providing security to all the people of the country remains a member of the faith,” Buhari said in a written Christmas message.
The 78-year-old called on citizens to voluntarily report “intelligence on the activities of armed bandits, insurgents and other criminal elements in their communities in order to put an end to that area.”
The decade-long conflict in northeastern Nigeria has killed 36,000 people and displaced about two million from their homes, according to the United Nations.
Violence has spread to neighboring Niger, Chad and Cameroon, forcing countries in the region to form a military coalition to fight jihadist groups.

The use of multi-energy spectral photon-counting computed tomography (CT) imaging may improve detection and differentiation of crystal deposits in patients with crystal arthritis, according to results from a study published in Arthritis & Rheumatology.
Researchers conducted an imaging study of a surgically excised finger containing gouty tophus and other crystal deposits. The finger was evaluated using x-ray, dual-energy CT, and multi-energy spectral photon-counting CT imaging, and the results of the 3 techniques were compared. In addition, the investigators collected samples of the crystal deposits and assessed them using either radiographic defraction or light microscopy to validate the imaging results.
After evaluation, the researchers found that multi-energy spectral photon-counting CT imaging was able to identify, quantify, and differentiate monosodium urate deposits in the excised finger. In addition, they reported that while x-ray and dual-energy CT were able to identify the crystal deposits, multi-energy spectral photon-counting CT provided greater detail.
“With these initial data, we are now in a position to demonstrate that we can replicate the image quality we achieved for ex-vivo samples in live subjects with crystal deposition diseases,” the researchers wrote.
“Further work using samples with smaller urate and calcium burden will be required to determine the diagnostic accuracy and lower limit of detection of [monosodium urate] and calcium crystal deposits using multi-energy [spectral photon-counting CT],” they concluded.
