What begins as a
Multimodal - Touch - Stories.
When I observe and come close to a green, vegetal being, even without seeming to touch it, it enters into my body through my senses, and we come in closest contact. As I watch, its appearance, color and shape imprint themselves onto my retina, and the plant becomes a reflection, a memory, an extension of itself outside of itself and into me. I look at the plant, knowing that all its leafy surfaces eat up the sunlight, transforming this heat into matter. I watch with my eyes and try to feel the transformations of the immaterial into the material, infrared into green pigments of chlorophyll. As I put my ear close to a blade of grass, I hear how the wind blows through and around its thin, hollow leaves; in small vibrations my eardrum moves and I imagine it resonating specific organs and cavities deep in my body. I listen and can hear only a small range of frequencies, yet the plant emits much higher ones. So I listen with my ears and attempt to feel in my body these inaudible movements.
These are my own perceptions of my body and a plant's body; however, as Merleau-Ponty articulates in his book "The Visible and the Invisible", there is something else behind the perceptions of the body I perceive that I cannot know or see or hear. I imagine this behind-ness as a kind of void, always beyond my comprehension, and following Karen Barad's queering of Quantum Field Theory, always intrinsically part - of the body. I begin to approach that void in my practice of phenomenologically, diffractively and multimodally coming closer/closest/touching plants. I begin to imagine what is behind the plant's perceptible attributes. The more time I spend with each particular plant and in general with plants, I begin to notice the ways in which my own body's voluntary movements and thought processes begin to minimize and deaccelerate. Another kind of rhythm becomes prominent, and I wonder if my void is part - ly the parasympathetic nervous system, the subconscious, the not - yet conceived story? I wonder how to touch these parts.
If I consider touching to be not only the closest possible encounter of body surfaces, but a material/immaterial intra-action with our voids, might bodies be perceived not as bodies in that specific moment of touch, but as part - icular elements of minute pressure, heat, and sound in touch with each other and with the imperceptible - void? Might the awareness of touch alter the awareness of bodies; no longer entire body touching entire body, but index-fingertip touching centimeter-of-inner-bark touching dying-particles touching heat-red-carbon-green-oxygen touching behind-ness?
According to Barad, there is no such thing as touch; on a part - icle level, electrons magnetically repel each other. So I contemplate where the touch / repelling can occur and consider it a form of dialogue; which parts of me desire a multimodal conversation with which parts of the plant? In this developing dialogue, parts - of the theories of Barad graze parts - of the theories of Michael Marder: the encountering of all alterities and infinities by the implosive touching of oneself (Barad) with the radical openness or touching of all others of the plant (Marder). The plant and I are the macrocosmic stories of the electron. Scratching me, the plant scratches its void. Embracing it, I embrace mine.

Even as he undertook what is for him the unprecedented step of apologizing, the president unwittingly exposed the conceits underlying his foreign policy. In a meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan, the president apologized for the treatment of some prisoners in U.S. hands. Nonetheless, while promising to resolve the scandal, he still reassured his audience that the documented cases of torture were isolated instances. Yet until practices in the prisons under U.S. control are thoroughly investigated - and by outside authorities - how can one know that the cases are isolated?
U.S. Rep. Tom Allen has properly called on Congress to do an independent investigation of the torture revelations. There are good reasons why the administration cannot be counted on to run an adequate investigation. The problem is not just that these prisons were under its control and that gross malfeasance would reflect on its competence and integrity. In a more fundamental sense, the way in which these prisons have been managed go to the heart of the Bush agenda.
Neither critics nor supporters should prejudge the outcome of an independent examination. However, there are already several reasons to be concerned. The administration has long taken the position that because the United States is a democratic nation and is at war with terrorists, it alone can determine whom it will imprison and under what circumstances it will maintain those prisoners. This posture has had unfortunate consequences. Anthony Lewis pointed out in the New York Times recently that, "Fear of terrorism ... has led to harsh departures from normal legal practice at home. Aliens swept off the streets by the Justice Department as possible terrorists after 9-11 were subjected to physical abuse and humiliation by prison guards, the department's inspector general found. Attorney General John Ashcroft did not apologize - a posture that sent a message."
Any independent investigation of these incidents must also ask just who is receiving these messages. The media have highlighted the possibility that some private contractors assigned prison guard duty may escape prosecution for their role in the torture incidents. Surely these loopholes in the law need to be filled, but the larger question is the privatization of vital juridical and security functions.
The Bush administration has a near-religious faith in privatization. Yet it is ironic that while Bush willingly privatizes schools and hospitals, he does not advocate privatization of the Secret Service. He does not want his own security to depend on hired outside guns. Some functions require sensitivity, judgment and commitment to the public good. These cannot be bought.
Private contractors asked to run prisons have long fallen far short of minimal commitments to humane values. Not surprisingly, maximizing profits has been their agenda. The London-based Guardian recently carried an interview with a disillusioned interrogation officer:
"As the number of suspects sucked into the system exploded, the Pentagon came to rely increasingly on interrogators from private contractors to question them. Mr. [Torin] Nelson, [who served as a military intelligence officer at Guantanamo Bay before moving to Abu Ghraib as a private contractor last year], was one of a roughly 30-strong team in Abu Ghraib employed by a Virginia-based firm, CACI International. He believes his decade of experience in military intelligence made him well qualified to do the job, but he had growing doubts about his colleagues. 'I'd say about the contractors that it's kind of a hit or miss. They're under so much pressure to fill slots quickly... They penalize contracting companies if they can't fill slots on time and it looks bad on companies' records. If you're in such a hurry to get bodies, you end up with cooks and truck drivers doing intelligence work.'"
How ugly this story eventually becomes remains to be seen, but the potential for widespread, systemic abuse is surely here. Noncombatants and civilians swept up by soldiers who are surely no experts on Iraqi culture are then deposited in prisons to be interviewed by poorly trained staff under pressure to deliver "results."
Such circumstances may not always yield outright abuse, but these prisoners, whether terrorists, enemy combatants, or innocent bystanders, have not been treated fairly. The United Nations is not perfect and surely needs reforms of its own. Nonetheless, both justice and our image in the world demand in this instance that the prisoners should be handed over to the United Nations to be dealt with in a fully transparent fashion.
Unfortunately, an administration that has consistently repudiated all international standards is unlikely to follow that course. Indeed, perhaps its strongest motive to contain this scandal lies in the pressure that these revelations exert to acknowledge that the United States has no unique hold on or commitment to human rights.

There have been some exciting new changes made to our Mango Languages service for 2014!
The first is a change to the dashboard interface, moving from their old “antique paper” look & feel to a new, sleeker dashboard called “Mango Connect.” When you launch Mango, you will now see a message asking if you want to use the new dashboard or stick with the old one. The old interface will remain accessible until June of this year, but after that the Mango Connect interface will become the default.
New Languages: Mango announced the addition of 14 new language courses to their complete subscription: Armenian, Azerbaijani, Hungarian, Kazakh, Serbian, Yiddish, Bengali, Malay, Malayalam, Punjabi, Telugu, Scottish Gaelic, ESL Arabic MSA and ESL Armenian. These courses are also available in the Mango Languages for Libraries app for iPad/iPhone once users upgrade to version 1.3.0, released January 28, 2014. The new languages do not seem to be listed in the Mango app for Android, but may become available in a future app update.
Introducing Mango Premiere – Language Learning Through Films: One of the new features introduced with the Mango Connect dashboard is the new Mango Premiere service . This service is integrated with our existing Mango product and can currently be accessed through our Search a Database page.
Mango Premiere takes films in several languages and builds a language-learning system around the dialog of those films. You can either watch the film straight through with two sets of colour-coded subtitles on the screen, or use the intensive “engage-mode” to break the film down into scenes and delve into the sentence structure, grammar, culture of those scenes and more.
For more details, there’s a brief tutorial/trailer explaining the service:
Try Mango Premiere without creating a Mango account: For a limited time, Mango is making Kung Fu Dunk, one of its Mango Premiere titles, available immediately without an account for trial purposes. Go to http://trymp.mangolanguages.com/ to take a test run of this service.
If you’d like to try a movie in another language, log in to Mango from the Search a Database page, create an account if you haven’t made one before (you can also log in as a guest if you’re short of time) and click on the Learn tab and look for the “Apps” link in the middle of the page. The Mango Premiere courses appear at the bottom of the “Apps” screen. We currently have ten Mango Premiere courses available covering five languages – Spanish (Latin America), Italian, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese and English for Spanish speakers. There are more films/languages listed on the Mango Premiere promotional site, but licensing restrictions in Canada mean that we currently only have access to a limited set.
మీరు ఆనందించండి ఆశిస్తున్నాము!

At the 2014 Polaris Music Prize gala in Toronto on Monday, the Inuk throat singer Tanya Tagaq mesmerized an audience with a short but substantial live performance, won the $30,000 annual award for her significant album Animism and finally sealed the deal with a controversial acceptance speech.
In what she undersold as a "quick side note," the Nunavut-raised artist took a second out from thanking her record label and producers – Toronto's Six Shooter Records and Jesse Zubot, respectively – to promote indigenous hunting. "People should wear and eat seal as much as possible," Tagaq said. Displaying her seal-fur armbands, the singer added that seal meat was delicious, before closing with an F-bombed message to the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
Asked on Tuesday to clarify her remarks, Tagaq admitted to having a "big mouth," and said that when she only has seconds to say how she feels, "something sharp will come out." She told The Globe that her pointed comment was "very specifically targeted at the seal ban," adding that she believed animal-welfare groups are "100-per-cent necessary."
But when it was pointed out to her that PETA's campaign is against the commercial harvest of seal in Newfoundland and Labrador, Tagaq held firm in her position. "There is a relative level of poverty in Newfoundland as well," she said. "Those protesters are taking food out of kids' mouths."
In May of this year, Canada lost its bid to have a European Union ban on seal products overturned, with the World Trade Organization's appeals process upholding a EU decision that connected the trade ban to moral objections against the seal hunt.
Asked to respond to Tagaq's comments, PETA issued the following statement: "PETA was surprised by Tanya's ill-informed rant because we've never campaigned against the indigenous hunt," said Dan Matthews, a vice-president of the organization. "Our fight is – and always has been – against the East Coast commercial slaughter, which is run by white people who bilk Canadians for millions in tax dollars in order to prop up the non-existent seal trade."
Matthews clarified that the international bans which PETA had successfully lobbied for, such as those in Europe, exempted the type of sustainable indigenous hunts in Canada's North. "Tanya should stop posing her baby with a dead seal and read more," Matthews added, referencing an incident earlier this year, wherein Tagaq posted a photograph of her baby daughter next to a freshly killed seal on Twitter.
"I endured abuse for three or four months afterward," she told The Globe on Tuesday.
"I'm not against animals," the musician continued. "They are us. We are them. We are meat. We're the same as them."

"Queer Eye" cast

"Queer Eye" Cast Empowers Students In New Music Video
The "Queer Eye” cast, aka Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness, Bobby Berk, and Tan France, are taking a break from helping men achieve and sustain new looks. Their latest project? Helping three Kansas high school students shine in a new music video for a remixed song from the GRAMMY-nominated soundtrack The Greatest Showman.
The Fab Five empower Tim, Olivia and J'Shawn to express themselves artistically in the new video for the anthem "This Is Me (The Reimagined Remix)" with actress/singer Keala Settle, Kesha and Missy Elliott from The Greatest Showman: Reimagined compilation.
In the video, supported by VH1’s Save The Music Foundation, which advocates for music to be a right, not a privilege, for children, the cast helps the teens practice rapping, singing and dancing with encouraging support throughout the process. In the end, the teens, who go from novices to confident entertainers, perform in front of an audience.
The idea for the video came from Porowski's obsession with music videos. He had always wanted to do one and reached out to songwriter friends Benj Pasek and Justin Paul for help. Pasek, who wrote songs for The Greatest Showman along with Paul, told Porowski that songs from the film were being readapted.
"'This Is Me' was a perfect fit, and it worked out," Porowski said on the "Today Show," where the video debuted.
Pasek knew "This Is Me" would be a perfect fit for the cast's vision, saying, "The message of what the 'Queer Eye' guys have done with that show is so inspiring to us and it’s so in line with what 'This Is Me,' the song is really about—it's about empowerment and it's about seeing the potential in every single person.”
Paul, meanwhile, spoke about the importance of self-expression among young people and the need to support music education.
"It’s a song about empowerment,” he said. “It’s a song about owning your identity, not being ashamed of who you are, and it's also a song about expression. With these young people it's creative expression, and to that end, that's why it was important to us with this video. We're also trying to bring attention to save the music, which is a way for [young] people around this country to express themselves creatively.
As for J'Shawn, who worked on his dance skills, it was exciting to show the world how he can move.
"It was really fun. These guys are so funny and they made me feel comfortable. I’m so grateful I was able to do this," he said.

Steve Stone, Carie Crenshaw and their daughters, Kenlee and Kylin, will visit Walt Disney World this December thanks to The Visual Bucket List. Editor’s note: Shhhh… It’s a surprise. Kenlee and Kylin won’t know until December. SHELBY — Steve Stone of Shelby was never in a rush to see Walt Disney World. He made his first visit to the renowned theme park at age 21. But his two daughters Kenlee, 5, and Kylin, 3, can’t wait that long. Both have been diagnosed with Usher’s Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that will likely cause them to lose their vision and hearing abilities during or after adolescence. Kenlee, 5, and Kylin, 3, of Shelby. Knowing this, Stone and his partner, Carie Crenshaw, aim to create memorable experiences for their girls. They’ve visited Cedar Point, Kalahari and dozens of other Ohio-based attractions. But later this year, they’ll go on their biggest adventure yet: A $12,500 trip to Walt Disney World in Florida, which will be completely covered by The Visual Bucket List Foundation . “And it’s for your daughters,” Steve Myers continued his wife’s thought. “Someone said the same to me years ago. They did just about have to slap me on the back of the head. They said, ‘It’s not for you, it’s for your little girl, and it’s a gift, not a handout.’” “When you get a gift like that, you feel a great deal of responsibility in making sure you pay it forward,” Steve Myers said. “And there’s no way to pay that back. That’s why we keep telling people, we’re going to spend the rest of our lifetime trying to.” Since starting the foundation, the Myers have already funded airplane rides around Mansfield, provided a telescope for a family and contributed to the purchase of at least three pairs of eSight glasses, which allow children like St. Peter’s Elementary School student, Remington Hedrick to zoom in on things they otherwise couldn’t see. The Stone family’s trip, booked through Carson Travel, will be all-inclusive. The four will spend six days in early December at Disney, staying at the Animal […]

Nepal’s threat to use violence to prevent anti-China protests when the Olympic torch reaches Mount Everest has been condemned by Amnesty International.
The Nepali Home Ministry has pledged to use “force, including gunfire… to prevent anti-China protests” when the Olympic torch relay arrives on Mount Everest in early May. The threats follow earlier crackdowns on peaceful pro-Tibetan protesters, which were unconstitutional. Since 10 March over 2,000 people have been arbitrarily detained.
The Nepali government is extending illegal police actions against Tibetans in Nepal and systematically violating their fundamental rights to liberty, due process and freedom of movement, assembly and expression.
“Members of the Tibetan refugee community have in recent days faced increasingly punitive police measures designed to muzzle free speech, including threats of arbitrary deportation to China. Statements threatening the use of lethal force represent an unacceptable escalation,” said Amnesty International.
The Nepal authorities must ensure that its officers are adequately equipped and trained to employ non-violent means of crowd control before resorting, where strictly necessary, to the use of force. Firearms may only be used as a last resort where lives are at risk. The government must also ensure that its officers are subject to strict regulations regarding the use of such methods and are tied to a strict system of accountability.
Amnesty International has called on the Nepali government to police demonstrations in line with the UN Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials and the UN Basic Principles on the Use of Force.

A recent debate inspired me to tackle the tug-of-war concerning the value of technical skill in painting compared to raw skill, if you will. Involve yourself in debates about the process of painting and it will not take long for you to realize that some view mastery of technical skills-- specifically from an academic standpoint-- as the end-all-be-all of what makes a 'good' painting. I for one have a different opinion. A painting can be solid, if you will, without strict adherence to mastery of skills. In my opinion, technical skill as a painter is not everything.
It is often the case that artists become discouraged when they observe works by other artists that exhibit a high level of technical skill. This is due to the fact that said skills can rarely be emulated effectively unless the artist spends years-- perhaps decades-- practicing the art of painting in order to convey the same technical control, so to speak. It can be intimidating-- especially if you surround yourself with peers who value technical skill over all other aspects of what makes a 'good' painting. Thus, I think it is important for artists to critique their own work beyond just the limitations of technical skill.
I realize it is controversial for me to suggest that technical skill in painting is limiting-- but in some situations, based on the individual, it can very well be. Consider this-- an artist who has all the technical skills down to mastery may create paintings that don't really 'say' anything outside of 'this painting was created by a skilled painter'-- while an artist who has yet to reach the same level of technical skill may create a painting that 'speaks' to thousands of viewers. Mastery is important-- but it is not always everything. Sometimes the gut-kick reaction that can be spurred by viewing a painting is of more importance to a viewer than how technically sound the painting is overall.
I would go as far as to say that what makes a painting 'great' is the unique spark that rests within it-- a spark that makes what is being viewed more than just a painting on canvas. Often the deeper you dig within yourself-- who you are-- the more powerful your art will be. So in that sense the mastery of the art of painting is not all about technical mastery of skill-- it is also about mastering yourself. In other words, mastering your authentic voice expressed visually on canvas. That connection-- if 'heard' by viewers-- can be more valuable to a painting than years of dedicated practice.
I've seen works that are solid from a technical standpoint-- but fail to make a lasting impression otherwise. Said works were created by artists who have dedicated years to developing their technical skills as a painter-- but have done little to discovery themselves as individuals. The lack of intuition, if you will, shows in their work-- paintings that are often dull in the sense that they offer very little in respect to self-reflection or fail to capture the essence of the human experience, if you will.
Even in regards to art marketing we can observe that high technical skill does not always sell a painting. I know artists who are masters of painting-- from an academic standpoint-- who rarely sell their original artwork and barely attract the attention of viewers. On the other hand, I know artists who are relatively new to painting who have done well selling art online, have won painting competitions involving other painters who are far more advanced technically, and have a large following of individuals who are inspired by their work. If technical skill in painting was everything, so to speak, that would not happen.
In closing, I do think that learning to be a skillful painter is important. I'm in no way suggesting that artists should avoid learning skills nor am I implying that dedication to mastery of skills is a waste of time. However, I don't think technical skill is the only important factor when deciding if a painting is 'good' or 'bad'-- or how viewers will 'see' the work. Balance is often the key. Solid technical skills and the ability to work beyond them-- beyond what is known as 'the right way to paint'-- can often make a powerful statement when expressed on canvas. In that sense, an individual new to painting can create a work of art that is more 'powerful' than a painting created by an artist who is considered a modern master due to technical prowess alone.
Consider this an open topic on technical skills versus intuition-- raw skill, if you will.
Take care, Stay true,

Lixisenatide is a recombinant DNA produced polypeptide analogue of human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) which is used in combination with diet and exercise in the therapy of type 2 diabetes, either alone or in combination with other antidiabetic agents. Therapy with lixisenatide has not been associated with serum enzyme elevations or with episodes of clinically apparent liver injury.
Lixisenatide (lix" i sen' a tide) is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue (also called a GLP-1 receptor agonist) that acts like the native gastrointestinal hormone (incretin) to increase insulin secretion. Lixisenatide, like other GLP-1 analogues, also suppress glucagon production and slows gastric emptying, features that may increase the beneficial effects in type 2 diabetes. Lixisenatide is a recombinant DNA-produced polypeptide that is 44 amino acids in length with a single proline substitution and a modified C-terminus of six lysine molecules that makes it relatively resistant to degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) and extends its half-life allowing for once daily dosing. In multiple preregistration clinical trials, lixisenatide was shown to improve glycemic control and lower HbA1c levels in patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes. Lixisenatide was approved in the United States in 2016 and current indications are for management of glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes in combination with diet and exercise, with or without other oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin. Lixisenatide is available under the brand name Adlyxin in multiuse prefilled pens (50 and 100 µg/mL). The recommended starting dose is 10 µg once daily which after 2 weeks can be increased to 20 µg once daily. A fixed combination of lixisenatide (33 µg/mL) with insulin glargine (100 units/mL) is also available under the brand name Soliqua (100/33). Lixisenatide is generally well tolerated, but side effects can be dose limiting and include injection site reactions, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, fatigue and hypoglycemia. Rare adverse events include pancreatitis, severe hypoglycemia, acute renal injury and hypersensitivity reactions.
In large clinical trials, serum enzyme elevations were no more common with lixisenatide therapy than with placebo or comparator agents. In pooled safety analyses of more than 5000 patients, ALT elevations above 3 times the upper limit of normal occurred in 0.6% of both lixisenatide and placebo groups and no instances of treatment related clinically apparent liver injury were reported. Since licensure, there have been no published case reports of hepatotoxicity due to lixisenatide and the product label does not list liver injury as an adverse event. Thus, liver injury due to lixisenatide, as with other GLP-1 analogues, must be rare, if it occurs at all.
Mechanism of Injury
Lixisenatide is a polypeptide and is metabolized to amino acids by serum and tissue proteases, and is unlikely to have any direct hepatotoxic potential. Lixisenatide acts through the incretin pathway to affect glucose metabolism and, thus, is often grouped with other incretin based antidiabetic mediations such as the DPP-4 inhibitors, sitagliptin, saxagliptin and linagliptin, and other GLP-1 analogues such as exenatide, liraglutide, dulaglutide and albiglutide which are also discussed in LiverTox.

Calico Museum of Textiles exhibits one of the finest collections of historical and modern Indian textiles anywhere in the world. The religious and secular materials have great historical, artistic, and intrinsic value. Some are more than 300 years old.
The idea of opening a textile museum in the textile-producing city of Ahmedabad was introduced by a pioneer historian of Indian art and one of the foremost interpreters of Indian culture to the West, Dr. Ananda Coomaraswamy at a time when Indian textiles were in danger of losing their excellence and popularity.
In 1949, the textile museum was founded at Ahmedabad Manufacturing & Calico Printing Mills Company Limited (popularly known as Calico Mills) by Gautam Sarabhai and his sister, Gira Sarabhai. It was inaugurated by Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister.
The museum was shifted in 1982 to the Sarabhai Foundation's estate called The Retreat, which includes Sarabhai-ni-Haveli with its formal garden and water features, designed in the 1930s by Surendranath Kar of Shantiniketan for Ambalal and Sarladevi Sarabhai who were the parents of Gautam and Gira Sarabhai.
The museum's setting itself is extremely attractive - it occupies a grand residential mansion of the Sarabhai family that once owned one of the largest textile mills in Gujarat. This mansion has been adaptively reused to house the museum's outstanding textile collection. The building is set in botanically-interesting gardens filled with water features and decorative elements.
Inside, the museum tastefully displays various textiles like shawls from Kashmir, phulkaris (floral embroideries) from Punjab, embroideries and tie-dye of Gujarat, ikat saris from different parts of India, kalamkaris, royal wardrobes, outstanding carpets, Balushar saris, Paithani saris, Kanchipuram silks, and fabrics made in India for international trade. The religious collection has devotional paintings on cloth, evocatively displayed temple clothes and illustrated Jain manuscripts.
The museum divides into two sections – the religious textiles are housed in an area called the Haveli, and the secular materials in the Chauk around the courtyard. At the heart of the museum, the Chauk is surrounded by exquisitely carved wooden façades of ‘Havelis’ rescued from different places where they were in danger of being demolished and reassembled around a former swimming pool of the family.
The guide’s narration is well-detailed and introduces visitors to the genius of Indian weavers and artisans associated with ancient textile arts. You can see the Kashmiri shawls, patolas woven using the double ikat technique that involved individually tie-dyeing each warp and weft before weaving, fragments of Indian textiles recovered in Egypt, tie-dye, sarongs that were made for export to Bali, window curtains and chintz made for the Portuguese and British markets, specimens of rare silk-and-cotton mashru weaving, exquisite embroideries, printed fabrics, Chamba Rumal or handkerchiefs from Chamba that were used for gift wrapping, the extravagant zari work saris with heavy gold stitching, and elaborately embellished clothing from the Princely States of India. The piece-de-resistance is the collection of tent panels in the Calico Museum of Textiles at Ahmedabad, with excellent specimens of tent roofs. The tent collection includes the exquisite kinkhab tent of Shah Jahan, who was once the Governor of Gujarat.
The religious section is equally impressive. It has an outstanding collection of pichvai and other temple paintings, miniature paintings with religious themes, temple decorations, and the Jain collection of painted palm leaf manuscripts and mandalas centres around a replica of a haveli temple.
The museum also has interesting pieces of furniture, some fine bronzes and the palanquin of Ahilya Holkar.

It’s the last day of the April New Release from Lil Inker Designs! You should have arrived here from Sarah Jay’s Blog. I have two more cards for you today and I really hope you have enjoyed the entire release!!
I created this card by first die cutting the smallest Silly Stitched Square and trimming off the loop. I also cut a medium square and then cut the center out to place the smallest square, equal level, directly inside.
The floral outline around the sweet owls is from Wreath of Roses. 🙂
So I am slightly obsessed with my second card. I mixed pattern papers and die cut them all with the new Chevron Border Die and made my sentiment and bold accent with the new Apple Shaker Dies and Apple of My Eye stamp set. (LOVE THESE!!!!)
Here is a quick look at the new products I used today:
Want a chance to win the ENTIRE new release collection?! Leave a comment on every blog in this week’s hop! You won’t want to miss out! 🙂 Happy Shopping!! Much love everyone!

So I have recently bought a new system and am having quite a frustrating issue. I am finding fullscreen gaming has a lowered framerate and in some cases catastrophically lowered. Bioshock Infinite for example is unplayable, and even navigating the menu is very difficult, this is at a resolution of 1920x1080. Once I change the resolution down to 1024x600, while still on ULTRA settings, it becomes playable and the mouse is able to navigate the menu.
I have searched high and low for a solution while not being able to find one. It is not the Win8.1 mouse lag issue as I have recieved that update. My video card drivers are the newest. I am running two monitors, my main: A Samsung S27B370 which is connected with an HDMI cable, my other is: Asus VW198 with a traditional connection.
My processor is: AMD A8-6600K APU 3.9GHz with 8gb Ram and dedicated HD8570 graphics.
Any advice would be immensly appreciated, thankyou.

Medically treated deep neck abscess presenting with occipital headache and meningism
The Journal of Headache and Pain volume 9, pages 47–50 (2008)
We report a 45-year-old man who presented with fever, acute occipital headache, and neck stiffness. He denied immunocompromised state such as diabetes, cancer or AIDS. Lumbar puncture showed normal cerebrospinal fluid findings in spite of laboratory parameters indicating inflammatory reaction. Magnetic resonance imaging of neck demonstrated wide spread enhancing mass of the deep neck space, leading to the final diagnosis of deep neck abscess. A long course of appropriate antibiotic administration finally resolved the inflammation and resulted in a good clinical outcome without surgical drainage. We postulated that deep neck abscess is an important differential diagnosis in a patient with meningism and medical treatment may be available for immunocompetent deep neck abscess.
Widespread deep neck abscess is an uncommon clinical condition in healthy adults . The main symptoms of deep neck infection are fever and nuchal pain with motion limitation due to soft neck tissue swelling but occipital throbbing headache with meningism is not a common symptom . This type of meningism makes it difficult to diagnose retropharyngeal and deep neck abscess [2, 3]. When infection of the retropharyngeal and deep neck space occurs, usually urgent surgical and antibiotic therapy is required . We describe a case of retropharyngeal and deep neck abscess, which extended anterior to the carotid artery and posterior to the retropharyngeal space resulting in neck pain and stiffness, with successful medical treatment without surgical drainage.
A 45-year-old man visited our hospital because of fever, nausea, sore throat, posterior headache, and severe neck pain for 3 days. He complained of stabbing pain radiating from the occipital to parietal area. Coughing and strain exaggerated his headache and neck pain. His nuchal pain was aggravated by neck motion, especially in rotation and extension. So, he could not relax his neck muscle and this provided aggravated immobilization and stiffness.
His previous medical history was unremarkable including immunocompromised states such as diabetes, tuberculosis, malnutrition, and cancer. Prior to the appearance of neck pain, he had 5 days history of flu-like symptoms. He showed stable vital signs except mild fever (37.8°C) with malaise symptoms.
In physical and neurological examination, he showed injected throat and neck motion limitation with stiffness and tenderness without neck swelling and redness. Other findings are unremarkable. Blood tests showed leucocytosis (14,900/μL) with 83.2% neutrophils, C-reactive protein (CRP) of 5.7 mg/dL and erythrocyte sedimentation ratio of 44 mm/h, creatine kinase of 790 IU/L. Other laboratory tests including chest X-ray, syphilis screening, human immunodeficiency virus antibody, cancer marker, culture study of blood, sputum and urine were unremarkable. Computed tomography of brain was unremarkable. We performed a lumbar puncture with a tentative diagnosis of meningitis but obtained normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with one white cell per μL, zero red blood cells per μL, protein of 23 mg/dL, glucose of 75 mg/dL (blood glucose 109 mg/dL).
Then, neck MRI was performed for the exploration of neck pain and stiffness. Neck MRI with gadolinium injection showed a 2.2 × 4.0 cm sized ill-defined, inhomogeneous mass in right parapharyngeal and retropharyngeal space with internal, irregular, geographic abscess formation in the nasopharynx and oropharynx level. This mass extended into the ipsilateral carotid space with partial encasement of carotid sheath vessels, longus colli muscle, supraglottic laryngeal wall, and submandibular gland. Also, this mass extended to retropharyngeal and posterior neck space with inhomogeneous enhancement. At the hypopharynx level, there is a displacement and deformity distortion in airway and diffuse retropharyngeal thickening (Fig. 1).
Conservative treatment with appropriate antibiotics was performed instead of surgical drainage by otolaryngology consultation because his clinical condition was stable except for mild fever, occipital headache, and neck stiffness. His clinical symptoms improved gradually and we performed follow-up neck CT after 7 days from the neck MRI. The follow-up neck CT scan showed partially resolved large inflammatory mass in the right parapharyngeal space with small abscess cavities (Fig. 2).
He completed 28 days of antibiotic therapy with penicillin, metronidazole, and roxythromycin. He showed good clinical outcome of deep neck infection without headache and neck pain.
Meningeal irritation signs are elicited by inflammation or presence of foreign materials such as blood in the subarachnoid space . Fever and neck stiffness have been described as the classical signs of meningeal irritation, and were considered to be highly specific for meningitis [4, 5] However, the presence of meningeal irritation is not highly pathognomonic of meningitis because only 70% of patients with neck stiffness were confirmed to have meningitis [1, 4, 5] Meningism has been described in variable conditions such as brain neoplasms, pituitary apoplexy, cervical spondylosis, neck trauma, and specific inflammatory conditions such as cervical osteomyelitis, cervical lymphadenopathy, retropharyngeal abscesses, and severe systemic infection [2, 3, 5, 6].
Some reported cases of deep neck abscess showed concomitant meningeal involvement of retropharyngeal or epidural abscess and were easily misdiagnosed as meningitis for the positive CSF findings [2, 3, 7, 8]. The above-mentioned cases are associated with osteomyelitis, odontogenic infection, cervical spine fracture or epidural abscess and needed urgent surgical exploration. As far as we know, there are two previous reports of retropharyngeal abscess showing meningism without CSF inflammation [5, 9]. But in Rathakrishnan’s case, elevated CSF protein (0.9 g/L) might contribute to meningeal irritation and in Kielhorn’s cases, the abscess are limited to the prevertebral area. However, our patient showed normal CSF profile despite a huge widespread infected mass.
Retropharyngeal abscess in adults is rare because the lymph nodes in that space disappeared in adulthood, and is frequently associated with oral instrumentation, trauma or underlying immunocompromised states such as diabetes, cancer or AIDS [1, 5]. Ventral spread of deep neck abscess could cause a retropharyngeal abscess and dorsal spread would cause epidural abscess and meningitis . In our patient, any predisposing conditions of retropharyngeal abscess were not found, and meningeal and cephalic symptoms were caused by huge inflammation in anterior and posterior neck area due to a contiguous spread of infection.
MRI is thought to be the best modality for diagnosis of abscess formation, infectious granuloma, and odontoid osteomyelitis because of sensitivity to soft tissue changes with good enhancement . In retropharyngeal abscess neck, MRI is an effective diagnostic tool for early accurate diagnosis .
The optimal treatment of deep neck abscess is poorly defined. Traditionally, prompt surgical drainage and antibiotics are suggested for the prevention of retropharyngeal abscess rupture leading to meningitis or osteomyelitis cervical spine . In the beginning, we considered surgical drainage. But his clinical condition was gradually improving and he showed no neurological deterioration except neck stiffness. Our patient illustrates the possibility of medical treatment of a retropharyngeal abscess with appropriate antibiotic remedy in an immunocompetent situation. Pages et al.  recommended that first-line medical management is required in non-complicated parapharyngeal abscesses with antibiotics and/or steroids. The predisposing factors of complicated deep neck infection are diabetes and more than two involved spaces .
In conclusion, we emphasize that retropharyngeal abscesses could give rise to meningism without meningeal involvement and can be treated by appropriate antibiotics in an immunocompetent situation.

We are facing the following topic about the provisioning of IBM Tivoli Diretory Server -TAM entities (account / entitlements). The target system seems to be unable to properly manage parallel calls. A percentage of the operations forwarded from the Provisioning and Connector Server to the target system fail. The customer would like to know if there is a way to modify the behavior of this DYN connector, in order to forward the activities to the target system in a sequential way, not in parallel. For the IBM team this modify should fix the issue.

JCS is multi threaded for any JNDI DYN custom connectors.
The only way to limit the JNDI connector to work with one active session at a time, would be to override the default behavior which is 20 maximum number of active connections. So copying the \jcs\conf\override\jndi\SAMPLE.connector.xml to connector.xml and updating <property name="maxActive"> to <value>1</value>
This is not supported as not tested. This will drastically decrease the performance if you have a consequent flow against this connector. And if you have JNDI connectors against other technologies then they will be impacted and the performance will decrease for them. If so a dedicated JCS for TDS could be implemented.

DOTHAN, Alabama -- B.C. Rain's Denisha McKenzie made only two shots against Carroll-Ozark, but one proved to be the most important.
McKenzie's 15-footer from the right baseline with 13.5 seconds to play lifted the Red Raiders to a 65-63 victory over Carroll-Ozark in the Class 5A South girls regional at Dothan Civic Center.
"I really wanted to drive, but it wasn't open so I decided to shoot it," McKenzie said. "I knew I could make it."
B.C. Rain advances to Friday's 5A regional final against Faith Academy, a 76-43 winner over Russell County, set for 9 a.m.
McKenzie's clutch bucket ended a tense, emotional final minute that included four lead changes. Carroll's Brittany Moore scored back-to-back buckets for a leads of 60-59 and 62-61, and Loretta Gissdendanner's free throw with 32.9 seconds to play staked the Eagles to a 63-61 advantage.
Carroll never scored again.
Watch B.C. Rain coach Derrick Gray talk about the victory:
B.C. Rain's Kierra Jackson swished two free throws with 27.2 seconds to go, knotting the game at 63-63, but Alexae Pickett missed two free throws with 22 seconds remaining.
Following a B.C. Rain timeout, Red Raiders guard Kaylyn Willie came up with a steal and passed to McKenzie, who made the game-winner. Carroll quickly inbounded the ball, but turned it over with a travelling call.
B.C. Rain then ran out the final 8 second by playing keep-away from the Eagles.
"I told them all along that this was possible to get here," B.C. Rain coach Derrick Gray said.
Jaquis Cooks led B.C. Rain (23-4) with 17 points and 12 rebounds but left the game late in the fourth quarter with a left ankle injury. Gray expects her to back for Friday's game.
Moore led Carroll with 24 points and 16 rebounds, while Kadaleu Gissendanner had 15 points and 10 boards.
The teams combined for 54 fouls -- 27 apiece -- and 70 free throws.


After a weekly review meeting, the Gurugram administration has added 9 more containment zones due to COVID-19 in Gurugram district on Monday.
District administration declared Golden Estate apartment DLF phase 3, S-block DLF phase 3, block V of DLF phase 3, Takshashila Heights sector 37C, Jalvayu Vihar sector 56, Today Blossom Internal sector 47 in Gurugram block, Bashariya village, Baskusla village in Pataudi, and New Colony in Farukh Nagar as containment zones.
With this, Gurugram currently has 109 containment zones in the district.
It is an indication of frequent cases appearing in the city with majority of them are showing community spread. It is expected to remain the same till the middle of July, an official of Gurugram health department said as the situation in containment zones is extremely serious.
Meanwhile on Monday, district administration detected 85 fresh cases and 2 deaths. These are the lowest numbers in the last 10 days.


CPI-M general secretary Prakash Karat also blasted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), saying it was the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government which deregulated coal pricing and took steps to weaken the state-run Coal India Ltd (CIL).
In an article in the CPI-M mouthpiece People's Democracy, Karat demanded a high level investigation to fix responsibility for the irregularities and corruption involved in the coal block policy.
"Those found guilty have to be prosecuted. All allocations which have been made irregularly have to be cancelled. Where windfall profits have been made, steps must be taken to recover the losses suffered by the government," the CPI-M leader said.
More important, "all those who wish to see an end to the loot of natural resources will demand that the coal allocations and mining be done through the public sector in the future", he said.
Karat's comments follow a Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report on how controversial allocation of captive coal blocks to private companies could lead to the latter making windfall profits.
With India having the fourth largest coal reserves in the world, the CAG audit covers 2006-07 to 2010-11, besides the allocation of coal blocks by the coal ministry from 2004. Karat alleged that both the NDA and the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) governments undermined the CIL.
"The handing over of captive coal blocks picked up momentum after 2000", when the BJP ruled India, he said.
Both NDA and UPA governments, he said, argued that private players needed to be involved as CIL and its subsidiaries were unable to meet the growing demand for coal.
"Instead of taking steps to streamline CIL and set right the deficiencies and the corrupt and wasteful practices in the coal sector, both the Congress and the NDA governments worked to create a situation where the private sector would get entry and ascendancy in the coal sector."
"The captive mines policy had been actively utilised by the ministry of coal to weaken the CIL and prevent the expansion of public sector coal mining," he said, adding that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's statement in Parliament was "a brazen attempt to defend an indefensible policy".
"The BJP's hypocrisy in disrupting Parliament demanding the prime minister's resignation is breathtaking," he added.
"It had pioneered the captive coal block route. It had brought the coal privatisation bill in parliament. The NDA government had de-regulated coal pricing and taken a series of steps to weaken the CIL.
"The BJP state governments in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh have followed the same pattern in handing over coal blocks to fraudulent companies."
The CPI-M leader argued that competitive bidding may only lead to more problems, and demanded that the entire sector should be controlled by the public sector.
"Competitive bidding would favour the large private players; it would lead to private monopolies and cartels forming. Public utilities and state government-run corporations will not be able to compete.
"(It) will push up the cost of power generation and the resultant pressure on the regulated tariffs in the power sector."
"The coal block scandal should be an opportunity not only to identify the perpetrators of the 'loot the resources' policy but to demand a reversal of the privatisation of natural and mineral resources."

According to reports, a Rs 7.9-crore solar-energy project has been commissioned at the Central Jail here. This would make if the first jail in the country to depend entirely on this clean and renewable source of energy. The 13th Finance Commission had allotted Rs154 crore for modernisation of prisons in the State, an official spokesman said. Additionally, Rs 25.56 crore was set apart for facilitating the shift to solar energy. The Central Jail facility here is expected to produce enough power to maintain street lighting inside the compound; lighting and fans for blocks one to 12; steam cooking; water heating and water pumping.


THE GAY Police Association has made a formal complaint about Richard Littlejohn after yet another bout of his anti-gay poison in The Sun last month made them retch. The Gay Police Association's decision to report him is a mistake for two reasons. Firstly, censorship of political opinions - no matter how repellent - is never legitimate. But there is a second reason. By singling out Littlejohn, the GPA implies that he is a unique figure, a homophobic carbuncle on the otherwise pristine Fleet Street ship. In fact, Littlejohn is only one of a surprisingly large school of journalistic homophobes who still infest our newspapers.
It is a sign of the extent to which homophobia is still tolerated that one of the nastiest prejudices against gay people continues to be voiced by eminent journalists, and nobody considers it odd that they remain in their jobs. In a piece entitled "Why I Don't Want Gays Minding My Children", Tom Utley of The Daily Telegraph said that "a higher proportion of homosexuals than heterosexuals molest children". For this he offered no evidence. The reason for this is simple: academic studies persistently find it to be wholly untrue. Why was this piece published?
Utley is at least honest in one respect. He has in the past candidly confessed his prejudices, saying: "I disapprove of homosexuality; I find public displays of sexual desire between members of the same sex distasteful; I think that even long-term and faithful relationships between homosexuals can never be more than a parody of heterosexual marriage; oh, and the very thought of buggery disgusts me." Would a man who "disapproved" of, say, Asians - and found the idea of them having sex "disgusting" - be given a platform in a respectable newspaper? I do not advocate censorship, but it is a strange use of The Telegraph's editorial freedom to print this pure prejudice.
Diary columns are a popular home for more subtle anti-gay hatred. Jasper Gerrard, the writer of The Sunday Times' "Atticus" column, has long waged a sniggering hate campaign against the openly gay government minister Ben Bradshaw. As it happens, there is nothing camp about Bradshaw. Yet Gerrard refers to him variously as "lisping", "spending too much time with his powder puff", "mini-Mandy", "delicate" and "Big Boy Ben". When Bradshaw rebukes somebody, Gerrard describes it as "handbagging". He found it hilarious, moreover, that Bradshaw answered a parliamentary question on the National Fruit Show. The layers of repression in Gerrard are themselves "hilariously" apparent; what is more surprising is that he considers it acceptable to adopt these playground bullying tactics towards another adult in full view of his readership.
Other mainstream journalists have expressed worrying feelings about gay people: Paul Routledge, Simon Heffer, Garry Bushell... the list goes on. This is not about vilifying anybody who opposes the gay rights agenda. Melanie Phillips (who writes for The Daily Mail, but used to be a columnist at the more traditionally liberal Observer), for example, passionately opposes gay marriage, but never couches her opposition in homophobic or abusive terms, or impugns the dignity of gay people. Of course, none of the bigots who fail to match her standards should be prosecuted, GPA-style. They have a right to their stupidity, and anyway, using the law would merely exacerbate their bizarre idea that they live in a world where straight people are persecuted by uppity gays.
But these writers should be named and shamed. They help to foster a culture where "gay" is still the worst insult in Britain's playgrounds, and where gay teenagers are three times more likely to attempt suicide than their straight siblings. I still remember the strange, stinging pain of reading - when I was 10 and coming to the realisation that I was gay - an article that described Steven Fry as "a self-confessed homosexual". Oh, I thought, so there is something wrong with me - there is something to "confess".
Every foul comment by an Utley or a Gerrard demoralises vulnerable young gay people a little bit further. Blatant racism is no longer expressed in the British press. It is time for newspaper editors to exercise the same judgement when it comes to publishing prejudicial material against gay people.

The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, as well as has actually been gobbled up by millennials in outstanding quantities. While it lugs a ten-year service warranty (the lengthiest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not necessarily a trusted indication of the anticipated valuable life of the lifting columns. For the rate, the StandDesk is a fantastic lower-cost choice to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as other Chinese-made desks. Despite its security concerns this is a far better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever before want to be, as well as a good value in general. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide classification of Chinese-made desks that is swaying customers from both its less expensive and costlier peers.
StandDesk Construction, Arrangement, and Devices
Building the desk is rather simple if you comply with the detailed directions. All of the screws, screws, washers, and spring washers been available in different bags that are marked with their location: table top, frame, and also spares. There’s an included hex tool for fastening all of the screws into the structure, or, pop in a hex little bit into your power device– simply beware not to over-tighten.
Every one of the components have a premium quality coating to them with rounded edges to stay clear of cut hands. Below is a shot of all the screws that are fastened to the leg assembly– it’s not going anywhere!
The foot assembly also includes height-adjustable rotation gears to stabilize the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was extremely valuable for the carpeted home office floor. I’m additionally utilizing a flooring mat to protect the rug from chair wheel damage at sitting elevation, and push the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing height.
The deluxe controller was worth the financial investment. The switches are all variable stress set, indicating the up and down arrows will certainly adjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continuously change the elevation by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for two seconds. The memory switches are comparable in layout: press to remember the height setup, or hold the button down for 5 secs to keep a new height worth. I’m using switch 1 for my sitting placement as well as button 4 for my standing placement, which gives me 2 as well as 3 for anything I could require in the future.
Using my Standdesk
I have actually been making use of the brand-new desk for a few weeks as well as have actually written down my first impacts:
The electric motors are quiet yet can be listened to in the following room over. It takes possibly 25 secs for the desk to totally change from resting to standing based upon my presets.
I make use of an Ergotron side-by-side monitor arm (specifically this LX version), triggering the desk to get a little rocky when I move my weight versus the key-board. In hindsight, I ought to have bought the bar upgrade for my workdesk after figuring out the weight of my screens. If you prepare to do a double screen configuration, obtain the bar.
Because gravity compresses the discs in a human spinal column, I need to raise the desk greater in the morning and also reduced it at night.
An anti-fatigue floor covering is absolutely vital for long period of time standing. I bought an Octagonal mat from SmartCells, making use of rubber “cells” that are imagined listed below.
Despite any problems I might have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter layout, basically all of those concerns washed away when I really came down to utilizing this thing.
I really did not think it was even possible, the StandDesk somehow manages to be also much more stable than the Jarvis, both at resting as well as standing heights. Most days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pushed against my wall; not always due to the fact that it’s that wobbly, however just because I want as much stability as I can obtain.
The StandDesk one ups the gambit even additionally, proving to be just as stable by itself at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the firm’s bar enhancement, which they claim includes a lot more security when acquired as a part of the bundle deal.When it pertains to weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet even more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for as much as 350 pounds of weight ability.
I’ve been making use of the desk for regarding three weeks currently for everyday work (as well as following standing workdesk best techniques), whether it’s inputting out reviews such as this one from our desktop computer or a laptop computer every now and then. The desk stands up well versus non-coastered beverages, and the coating in addition to the desk still feels just as smooth and slick as the day I opened it regardless of days of perspiring wrists wresting on it as well as several clean downs with a cloth.
I never intentionally try to dent any desks as well hard, throughout some lighter examinations (tossing a collection of secrets onto it from a distance, for instance), it still held up without also many noticeable indicators of damages.
Last but not least, when I determined the sound outcome of the desk while it climbed from a resting position to standing and back once again, it was without a doubt the quietest we’ve tested yet. I could barely get it to make greater than concerning 9.5 dB of noise, so if your most significant problem is the whirr of your motor, this is definitely the one for you.
Currently, typically I don’t consist of much about the customer support assistance of any type of offered company, just because I really feel that in general if a product works the way its meant to, I shouldn’t ever before have a reason to call them in the first place. As well as while I wish I can say that held true throughout my experience with StandDesk, I simply can’t finish this review without discussing the numerous, seemingly endless problems I ran into trying to obtain my desk put together.
For starters, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any type of memory mobile consisted of initially, which suggested I had no chance of actually regulating the up/down feature on the desk itself. I spoke to StandDesk regarding this concern, that returned to me around a day later with an apology as well as a promise that a new one would certainly be shipped quickly.
Standdesk review handset
The resource of all our problems …
Concerning four days later a handset showed up in the mail. The mobile phone at first switched on, however it had not been long prior to I saw that none of the programmable buttons functioned, neither did the down button, however, for some reason the “memory” switch dealt with the down function simply great. I contacted the business once again, as well as they excused the mixup as well as said they would have a brand-new panel and control box out to me within the week.
Over 2 weeks later on my new panel and also control box got here. Once I installed them both the desk ultimately started working the method it was meant to, yet not after almost a month of waiting as well as back and forth with a business that could not keep in mind to ship a core component of their item inside the same box from the get-go.
Things to Take into consideration
Despite its bankable features, this stand desk likewise has its own drawbacks. Because no particular stand desk can capture all of the features that you might require, you might consider these in your decision-making.
Absence of a Bar as standard
Not having a maintaining bar is definitely not a deal-breaker, particularly considering a few of our other favored desks such as the Fully Jarvis also don’t have one. This workdesk does have one if you want, however it is a paid add-on (extra on this later also).
The crossbar is seen by some as a barrier, making it more difficult to place your legs conveniently listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they provide added stability, often essential when workdesks are fully extended.
We have not read any grievances of the security of this desk, so we do not think its something to truly be concerned about, although if you truly desired a desk with a bar after that we advise you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.
Conversely, StandDesk does provide a separate add-on crossbar that you can contribute to the desk on your own, just for an added $49.95.
The stability of a standing desk is among one of the most important facets of these desks. Without a steady workdesk you’ll discover it tough to concentrate, which can bring about you becoming less curious about using the desk at standing elevation. To obtain the very best return on your investment, you’ll intend to more than happy when utilizing the desk.
Since the StandDesk Simple is the first desk that I have actually checked with an optional cross assistance, I will break down my stability tests into two areas. Both examinations will include the normal front to back shaking test and also a delegated best wobble. The first will certainly be without the cross support and also the secondly will certainly be with it. Simply to keep in mind, StandDesk.co states that the addition of the cross support can enhance security by approximately 15%. I have no suggestion exactly how they developed that number.
Without Cross Support
Left to Right: The wobble test was a different situation. StandDesk Simple was the second desk that I tested that tottered near the bottom with weight on the desktop. The very first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the shaking movement was bad. Yet point it would certainly impact your job.
With Cross Support
Front to Back: Adding the cross assistance does not affect the shaking activity. The StandDesk Simple started to experienced a rocking movement at 36″. By 41″ the rocking motion misbehaved.
Entrusted to Right: Adding the cross assistance to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble motion for reduced elevations. With the cross assistance the wobble movement didn’t start up until you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble movement became poor.
Keep in mind: It’s really vital with flexible standing desks to fully tighten all equipment. If there is equipment that is not entirely tight, the activity experienced when included standing height will be overemphasized. This is particularly true with a desk frame that includes 32 bolts, there are far a lot of points at which the desk has an opportunity to move.
Like all the Chinese bases we’ve evaluated in our laboratories, we need to tighten our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to shorter customers with narrower desktops, as the security just isn’t there for a large mass elevated high off the ground. American-made workdesks will be better fit to these applications, as well as for a rather obvious reason. Essentially all American-made bases are made in United States factories that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German business that invented this industry, and their average residents are a whole lot taller than the typical Eastern consumer, so they began making longer-stroke training legs a long time ago. And they have far more robotic automation, laser-cutting tools, and also large experience making standing desk bases, it goes without saying.
But if you’re not as well tall, do not have an excessive quantity of hefty tools on your desktop, and don’t need as well wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will give you excellent bang for your buck.
All that might alter with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 design that he anticipates to launch at some point in the future. Initially we were told we ‘d see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later it has yet to emerge, as well as Yu states he’s had trouble getting the product top quality he requires out of several Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s tried working with. The brand-new layout is apparently going to be much easier to set up and also have a heftier bar layout, to name a few improvements. He states the brand-new base will be supplied in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” setup, minimizing our issue concerning side-load emphasizing on the training columns.
If this new base ever involves market we’ll update you here. We’re not holding our breath any longer as the most current news on the firm is that Yu shut the little Los Angeles office and has relocated it to join with all its other workers in southeast Asia.
In the meantime, a new $399 standing workdesk with remarkable efficiency has been present with the brand-new joint endeavor between US-based iMovR as well as China-based Eureka, the i1 electrical standing desk. While restricted in dimension and color alternatives, it has actually taken the mantle far from StandDesk’s long-ago standing as the most effective standing desk under $400.
