Mourners at Nelson Mandela's memorial at FNB Stadium on Tuesday were not given the chance to celebrate Madiba's life.
On Tuesday, the people in FNB Stadium did not get to say goodbye to Nelson Mandela. You could see it in the empty chairs (a failure of public transport and the fact that it was a normal work day for the majority of Gautengers); you could see it in the restless crowd that wanted to sing and dance; you could see it in the heckling of President Jacob Zuma.
The government laid out an event that it thought was appropriate for the passing of a beloved statesman and a national hero: gravitas, world leaders, speeches, the odd musical interlude. But this programme shows they forgot what South Africans want and need: catharsis, the chance to celebrate a man who changed their lives and gave them freedom.
We do it loudly because that's how we show emotion; we dance, we sing. In the last five days at the homage sites around the country, it has been common to hear a foreign broadcaster or journalist ask: "I thought everyone was mourning. Why are they singing?"
At the FNB Stadium, no matter how hard it tried to drive the event, the crowd became the backdrop of an event aimed at television cameras, speeches by people they had never heard of (speeches the crowds could not hear because of a dubious sound system), so that South Africans could hear how much other people appreciated Madiba.
At 5am, memorial goers were awaiting the first train from Park Station to FNB Stadium. People were not tired; they were exhilarated, and the ripe-smelling quay echoed with the sounds of Shosholoza and Nelson Mandela tribute songs. This vibe and atmosphere continued throughout the morning, through the cold rainy weather, as people nipped to the sheltered back rows in the stadium.
Where was the singing
Proceedings – meant to begin at 11am – ran late (this time because Western dignitaries rather than South Africans were late), but the good humour continued. Until the national anthem.
The sound system turned a full orchestra into a reedy, limp-handshake of melody, so much so that the first part of it was over before the crowds realised that it began. This was followed by speeches, many speeches. Where was the singing and joy?
Memorial-goers were treated like children – effectively told to sit down and listen while important people talk – and we are not a people to take that lightly, or sitting down for that matter.
Where was the emotion from the speakers? When Zuma delivered the keynote address, he was wooden and didn't lift his eyes from his speech (although he may have felt the need to soldier on in light of the hostile and restless crowd). But this is a man renowned for his ability to address the public. Why did he not speak from the heart about a man who he knew?
(Pictures by Oupa Nkosi, M&G)
On the streets
Where were the children? Mandela loved children, enjoyed being around them and took delight in their presence. But young South Africans did not feature on the programme.
On Tuesday night on Vilakazi Street, a marching band was playing while mourners continued to pay their respects to Mandela with flowers and song. The same thing happened in Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town, Qunu, and the rest of the country.
The love, respect and gratitude South Africans have for their Tata are playing out in the streets, not in scripted events.

California State Route 197
|North Bank Road|
|Defined by S&HC § 497|
|Maintained by Caltrans|
|Length:||6.725 mi (10.823 km)|
|South end:||US 199 near Hiouchi|
|North end:||US 101 near Fort Dick|
State Route 197 (SR 197) is a state highway in the U.S. state of California in Del Norte County near Crescent City. It is a bypass connecting U.S. Highways 199 and 101. It runs along the north bank of the Smith River.
SR 197 begins with an intersection at U.S. Route 199 in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. Moving northward, the road quickly exits the park, roughly paralleling the Smith River located to the west side of the road. The road then follows the river northward and then northwestward with several local roads meeting SR 197 along the evergreen forest area. The road meets its northern terminus at U.S. Route 101 just south of the Oregon border.
Except where prefixed with a letter, postmiles were measured on the road as it was in 1964, based on the alignment that existed at the time, and do not necessarily reflect current mileage. R reflects a realignment in the route since then, M indicates a second realignment, L refers an overlap due to a correction or change, and T indicates postmiles classified as temporary (for a full list of prefixes, see the list of postmile definitions). Segments that remain unconstructed or have been relinquished to local control may be omitted. The entire route is in Del Norte County.

This is what I'm trying to accomplish, I have a custom post type of "demos", from here I can add custom CSS/HTML/JS to display a demonstration (online preview) of what it is I have designed/coded. (This part works great)
First I go in and create the demo and publish it, then I create a new post about the element I have designed/coded and add details through custom fields such as Name, Browser Compatibility, Framework, Files Included, etc.
On this page I display the tutorial and details about the element and also provide 2 buttons, "Download" & "Live Demo". I am able to use the "Download" button linked to the attached file just fine (this works).
Right now I am using a blank textbox for the "Live Demo" this is where I type in the Live Demo URL which links within the post to the Demo. What I want to do is be able to just select the Demo Post Title through a SelectBox instead of typing the URL in. Meta Box that retrieves Last 5 Posts from Custom Post Type Demos?
How would I do this?

While designing your Fluid homepages, there may be a need to group together a few related tiles on a homepage and insert this homepage as a tile on another homepage. This will allow users to create layers of data (or tiles) so that the number of tiles in a single homepage can be limited and also give users the ability to drill down into a specific tile which may represent a more granular level of tile groupings. An example of this that comes delivered with FSCM is the Employee Self Service homepage which has an ‘Expenses’ tile. Clicking this tile, will lead you to another homepage that has all expense related tiles like ‘Create expense report’, ‘My Wallet’.
Steps on how to replicate this:-
- Navigate to PeopleTools -> Portal -> Structure and Content
- Open the fluid homepage you wish to convert to a tile. (Fluid Structure Content -> Fluid Homepages.
- Note the name of the Fluid Homepage
4. Navigate to Fluid Pages -> PeopleSoft Applications
5. Click on ‘Create new content reference’
– Label: Label for the tile
– Menu Name: Default fluid menu ‘NUI_FRAMEWORK’
– Component: PT_LANDINGPAGE
– Additional Parameters: This links the tile to the homepage. The highlighted text represents the name of the homepage noted in step 1
8. This publishes a new tile. This tile is now a part of the tile repository and can be added to a homepage from the ‘Personalize‘ option

The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali, has told a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja that the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has no pending petition or criminal matters with the police anywhere in the country.
The IGP also clarified that Tinubu is not a suspect to the police.
The IGP’s stated this in an affidavit filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja by counsel to the police, Wisdom Madaki.
In a counter affidavit to a suit instituted by a civil group seeking order of mandamus to compel the IGP to arrest and prosecute Tinubu for perjury and certificate forgery, Alkali maintained that the police have no power to prosecute Tinubu without any known offence committed.
He,however, admitted having two different petitions from a civil group, Incorporated Trustees of Center for Reform and Public Advocacy requesting for arrest and prosecution of Tinubu for alleged perjury and certificate forgery related offences.
The IGP explained that the two petitions were predicated on allegations that had been adjudicated upon by the Supreme Court in 2002 in a suit filed by the late foremost human rights activist, Chief Gani Fawehinmi.
The affidavit averred that since the alleged perjury and certificate forgery had been resolved by the Supreme Court, there was no need for the police to reopen the matter.
Alkali added that police does not need any court order to make arrest and prosecute since it derives its powers from the Constitution and statutes.
The IGP therefore asked the Federal High Court to dismiss the suit brought against him and the Nigeria Police Force for want of merit and jurisdiction, adding that the plaintiff will not be prejudiced if the suit is dismissed.
Counsel to the civil group, Eme Ekpu, told the judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo, that the counter affidavit of police had just been served on him and he needs time to go through it and reply formally.
In a brief ruling, Justice Inyang Ekwo granted the request and fixed January 19, 2023 for hearing of the suit.
The Incorporated Trustees of Center for Reform and Public Advocacy had dragged the IGP before the court over his alleged refusal to prosecute the presidential candidate of the APC over allegations bothering on perjury.

It seems I can’t be trusted. I suspect this because recently I was asked to not go to my place of work but, instead, travel to Bayside High School where I would grade the tests of kids I don’t know. I have to believe the assumption behind the temporary assignment is I was not able to grade my own students fairly.
After all, I might want them to pass. But how terrible is that? I’d be delighted to see the students do well. And I would be sad if kids I care about don’t do well. But would I cheat for them? No, I would not.
I’m more than a little upset that I, along with tens of thousands of my colleagues, have been deemed unfit to grade tests. It strikes me as unfair stereotyping and just another example of the distrust some people in power feel towards teachers.
But here’s the thing: if I can’t be trusted to design tests and I further can’t be trusted to grade them, I ought not to be teaching. If the state feels that we teachers are so incompetent and untrustworthy it ought to fire us all en masse.
Any professional has to be able to balance emotion with their obligations. Should firefighters be prohibited from fighting fires in their district? Should cops who arrest people take them to another precinct so they’ll be processed fairly? Should Mayor Bloomberg’s PEP be restricted to making decisions about Podunk, Iowa?
Here’s the more basic and important issue: I am a teacher. A large part of my job entails assessing the progress and motivation of my students. And I do, in fact, write tests. I’d argue that my tests are far better than those designed by the city or state. This is at least partially because I cater my tests to the needs and abilities of my students and give them as my students need them, not on wholly arbitrary dates determined by the Board of Regents.
As one small example, I gave a test last Tuesday. My students bombed. I was horrified. Perhaps if I were a true and objective professional I wouldn’t care at all. I shared my feelings with the kids. I reviewed not only the test but also additional materials covering every aspect of it. I wrote a new test, which I gave them on Friday, and they improved quite a bit. Were it a Regents exam, they’d be stuck waiting until June.
Standardized tests exist largely because the state feels I’m not equipped to write them, and now I can’t even be trusted with grading them. Yet I am certain I could do better on both counts than those in charge are doing now.

During my work on sunnyrentals.com I’ve got a task to add 2 closest airports to every property an owner creates.
I implemented it quite fast since we have a database of airports with coordinates.
While playing with this feature, we found out that it is not good enough — the real task must be to add 2 closest and biggest airports. The problem is that we don’t have any data in airports DB to guess how big or famous a particular airport is.
So we need to rate every airport somehow…
The solution we found was simple — we need to google for the airport name and get the search results count. The count can be considered as rating value — London Heathrow airport has 2.33 million results while Kiev Zhulyany airport has only 0.77 mln which looks fair.
Several things to pay attention to:
- the query we formed was [city name] + [airport name] + ‘ airport’
- if this query gives zero result, I omit the city name — at times it hepls
- we put the query into quotes to google for the exact phrase, otherwise the London City airport gets the highest rating due to the fact that “city” is a general term
- if the airport name includes the city name (Melbourne Intl), we omit the city name — “Melbourne Intl airport” is better then “Melbourne Melbourne Intl airport“
- in addition to previous idea — if the airport name sounds like the city name, we omit the city name as well. Example: Narsarsuaq airport in Narssarssuaq city. I used
soundexfunction for this comparison — it’s present in PHP and MySQL.
To get the google results you can use the
$queryTemplate = 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q=%s'; $airportQuery = '"London Heathrow airport"'; $query = sprintf( $queryTemplate, urlencode( $airportQuery ) ); $json = json_decode( file_get_contents( $query ), 1 ); $rating = (int)$json['responseData']['cursor']['estimatedResultCount'];

1. Field of Invention
The invention relates to a base for the installation of several energy-efficient light bulbs and, in particular, to an energy-efficient light bulb base with a quick connection device.
2. Related Art
As shown in
For the convenience of connecting with an external power supply, the energy-efficient light bulb base usually uses several short wires 93 to fix on the conductive terminals 911 of the corresponding electrodes. The short wires go through the through holes 921 of the connecting part 92. Since the connecting part 92 has a limited space inside, it is sometimes difficult to arrange the short wires 93.
The short wires 93 for the energy-efficient light bulb base to connect outside are indispensable materials. Very often short wires of different sizes and specifications are required according to customer's demands before the production. Therefore, it is impractical to stock the energy-efficient light bulb base.
Consequently, it is the objective of the invention to solve the above-mentioned problems.
An objective of the invention is to provide a base for the installation of several energy-efficient light bulbs. Using a quick connection device for the electrical connection between conductive terminals inside the base, the disclosed base can be directly connected with the exterior in a quick way. It is not necessary to disassemble the base structure and the wires therein. Therefore, the invention can save working time and material cost.
In accord with the above objective, the invention includes: a plurality of light bulb connectors, each of which has at least two conductive terminals; a connecting part connected among the light bulb connectors, wherein the conductive terminals of corresponding electrodes are electrically connected using a wire; and at least two quick connection devices disposed inside the connecting part for wire connections to the exterior, each of which is electrically connected with the wire of the corresponding electrodes inside the connecting part.
The invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given herein below illustration only, and thus is not limitative of the present invention, and wherein:
The present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the same references relate to the same elements.
An embodiment of the invention is a base for the installation of several energy-efficient light bulbs. It includes: several light bulb connectors 1, a connecting part 2, and at least two quick installation devices 4 for wire connections.
Each light bulb connector 1 is provided at least two conductive terminals 11 inside. In this embodiment, the number of the light bulb connectors 1 is two, and the number of conductive terminals 11 inside each light bulb connector 1 is two as well. Each conductive terminal 11 consists of a conductive plate 112 pushed by a spring 11. One conductive terminal 11 of the light bulb connector is connected to a 110V AC source, and the other conductive terminal 11 is connected to a 0V AC source. For the convenience of explanation, this embodiment uses the AC power supply and the 110V home electricity voltage. The invention, however, is not restricted by such examples. It can use other types of AC voltages or DC power supplies.
The connecting part 2 is connected among the light bulb connectors 1. The conductive terminals 11 of the corresponding electrodes in the light bulb connectors 1 are electrically connected using a wire 3 through the connecting part 2. In this embodiment, the connecting part 2 is connected between the two light bulb connectors 1. Both sides of the connecting part 2 are provided with two through holes 21, respectively.
The quick connecting devices 4 are disposed corresponding to the through holes 21 in the connecting part 2. The conductive terminals 11 of the corresponding electrodes in each light bulb connector 1 are electrically connected with the corresponding quick connection device 4. In this embodiment, the two opposite through holes 21 inside the connecting part 2 are respectively provided with a quick connection device 4. One of them is connected with an external 110V AC source; the other is connected with an external 0V AC source. A power switch (not shown in the drawing) is provided near the external power source for controlling the on and off of the base. The power switch can be a wall switch, drawing switch, or some other equivalent apparatus.
The quick connection device 4 in this embodiment is made by providing a fixed copper plate 41 for the external wire in each of the two opposite through holes 21 inside the connecting part 2, as shown in
When the invention is in use, the power line 5 connected with the external 110V AC source and the power line 6 connected with the 0V AC source are plugged into the two quick connection devices 4, respectively. The copper plate 41 inside the connecting part 2 can hold and fix the exposed parts of the power lines 5, 6 inside the connecting part 2, so that the conductive terminals 11 are electrically connected with the external power lines 5, 6. When the external power switch is turned on, the AC current is sent via the external power lines 5, 6 to the corresponding quick connection device 4. Each of the conductive terminals 4 then sends the power to the energy-efficient light bulbs (not shown) to light them up.
In summary, the invention is featured in that due to the design of quick connection devices 4 inside the connecting part 2, there is no need to provide short wires for the conductive terminals 11 of the energy-efficient light bulb base. The connection between the quick connection devices 4 and the conductive terminals 11 enables the connection with the external power lines 5, 6. Thus, space considerations are not a concern, also the production does not need to take into account the size and specification of the external power lines.
Although the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, this description is not meant to be construed in a limiting sense. Various modifications of the disclosed embodiments, as well as alternative embodiments, will be apparent to persons skilled in the art. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claims will cover all modifications that fall within the true scope of the invention.

AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 19.8.1: drivers with support for Microsoft PlayReady 3.0 on the RX 5700.
AMD Radeon has released its first Adrenalin drivers for the month of August. The AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 19.8.1 drivers have been dedicated to bringing support for Microsoft PlayReady 3.0 for the recent AMD Radeon RX 5700 graphics cards. There have also been quite a few bug fixes regarding drivers from previous versions. The company still doesn’t recognize the RX 5700’s high fan speed when sitting on the desktop as a problem, though.
Microsoft PlayReady is a DRM system that has been developed by the software giant since 2007. This software incorporates several features that were already found in other DRM protection systems, as well as being independent of the platform on which it is used. The new AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 19.8.1 drivers add support for the AMD Radeon RX 5700 graphics card, so that it is compatible with this type of software.
Fixed issues with AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 19.8.1 drivers
Unlike what happened with versions 19.7.4 and 19.7.5, the new AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 19.8.1 drivers do include bug fixes that have been carried over from previous versions of these popular drivers for graphics cards.
- Fixed an issue where some installations of the Windows 10 May 2019 Update had color corruption issues after installing the AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin drivers.
- Another fixed issue involved the Radeon Chill app not syncing with game settings when changes were made mid-game via Radeon Overlay Software.
- AMD Radeon RX 5700 graphics cards now no longer display a black or flickering screen when using the auto overclock option for graphics VRAM.
- Radeon AntiLag no longer negatively affects the performance of some games.
- For users who are still using Windows 7 and have bought one of the new AMD Radeon RX 5700 graphics cards, you will be happy to know that you will no longer see a black screen when uninstalling Windows 7 setups.
- Continuing with the same graphics card model, recording sound clips with the Radeon ReLive application using the Radeon RX 5700 graphics card on the Windows 7 operating system will no longer cause the aforementioned clips to not be recorded.
Issues to be fixed in AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 19.8.1 drivers
As is logical, there are still problems to be solved in these new AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 19.8.1 drivers.
- Screen flickering may be experienced on monitors with a vertical refresh rate of 240 Hz where AMD Radeon FreeSync technology has been enabled and with an AMD Radeon RX 5700 graphics card.
- The Radeon Performance Metrics app may incorrectly report how much VRAM is being used.
- The AMD Radeon VII graphics card can maintain high memory frequencies when on the desktop.
- The AMD Radeon Overlay application may intermittently not work correctly when activated within a game.
- When desktop recording is enabled with Radeon ReLive application, sound clips may become corrupted.
- On AMD Radeon RX 5700 graphics cards, enabling Radeon Enhanced Sync can cause applications or even the operating system itself to stop working.
AMD Radeon still does not acknowledge the issue of the high speed of the heatsink fan of the reference models of the AMD Radeon RX 5700 graphics cards.
You can download the new AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 19.8.1 drivers from the manufacturer’s website, where you can choose the model of your graphics card, as well as the corresponding version of the operating system.
As we do every time a new driver update comes out, we recommend that, before proceeding with the installation of the new driver, you uninstall the current driver using a program like DDU, which is responsible for cleaning the Windows registry, to avoid problems of compatibilities when we install the new one.

“Letter to My Master, Thomas Auld” explores Frederick Douglass’ view of slavery and Thomas Auld, his former slave master, in a smart and emotionally charged letter originally written in 1848 and published in the abolitionist newspaper North Star. Throughout the letter, Douglass uses his own experience as a slave to drive his views, often using sarcasm and a dark recognition of his trials to drive his own view of slavery; that slavery should be abolished and that it is inhumane and cruel. Douglass’ decision to publish this paper in the North Star allowed him to bring to light his experiences to push other readers of the newspaper towards an abolitionist stand point by bringing his first-hand accounts of slavery forward and explaining, at times
Besides, Douglass has utilized the ironic tool in the paragraph of his essay. For instance, although he lived as a slave at the time of his learning process, he explains to the readers that he brought bread when doing one part of chores so he could exchange for a reading lesson from local children before his return. He acknowledges: "I felt much better off in this regard than many of the poor white children in our neighborhood" (Douglass 26), which is ironic because Douglass himself would probably be in a worse position. Moreover, this kind of irony also presented at the top of the essay, Douglass called himself a slave which reminded the audiences that slaves did not happen in some faraway land; it happened in America – the land of freedom that can also be the land of slavery. Additionally, it is hard to believe for the white American that in the mid-1880s, a black person could even learn to read and less write a book (Shmoop Editorial Team).
Frederick Douglass During the year of 1852, Frederick Douglass came forth and denounced the evil of the Fourth of July. The Fourth of July was when the colonies won the British in the American Revolutionary War. Douglass didn’t agree to the celebration of the Fourth of July. In his point of view, he saw it as a day of hypocrisy. Frederick, a born slave, knew the truth behind the Fourth of July known as a day of freedom.
On the eve of the Civil War, the abolitionist movement and the opposition to slavery were very strong and powerful. While many people knew that slavery was a disgusting and degrading institution, there was not much first-hand information available about the inhumane effects that slavery had on both black and white people. In his narrative, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, Frederick Douglass demonstrates the dehumanizing effects slavery had, not only on African slaves, but also on the white population. In order to kindle the abolitionist movement and the opposition to slavery, Douglass includes his own personal accounts of life as a slave in America and utilizing elevates diction and vivid imagery
Frederick Douglass was born into slavery around 1835 in Tuckahoe. (12 Miles from Talbot County) In his Narrative, Frederick not only describes his struggles and hardships during his time as a slave, but also with escaping slavery. When he was young, Frederick did not know his father, though he thought that his father was a white slave owner. (Maybe even his own master).
The document Frederick Douglass Narrative, excreted from his 1845 autobiography, is about his life as a child slave on a plantation. Vividly describing his childhood in his opening chapters, readers get the full effect of what not only happened to Douglass, but what was also the norm for most of American slaves. He wrote about his knowledge and experiences as a child slave, and gave readers the true meaning of what slave families went through, in comparison to what was published in the media by whites. One of the main arguments presented in Douglass’s autobiography is the way women are treated and how they live as a family. From a very young age, before he was even a year old, Douglass was separated from his African mother, Harriet Bailey,
Freedom is Sweet In her narrative “The History of Mary Prince, A West Indian Slave”, Mary Prince presents the appalling details of the lives of slaves to pose an argument against slavery. Prince was born into slavery and never received the sweet freedom she so desired for herself, but wrote her narrative in hopes that it would provide the influence necessary to free the world from the chains of slavery. Limiting and destructive, slavery presented itself in every aspect of Prince’s life, from when she was separated from her family and husband, to when she had to dictate her story since slaves were never taught to write. Nevertheless, Prince persevered to recount the dangers of slavery in a short narrative portraying the unique struggles of women
The Irrationality of Slavery In the 19th century, the nation was in the midst of one of the most heated debates in its short history, one that fractured the nation from the inside out. The issue that divided and alienated common countrymen was that of slavery; many in the South supported the institution on the grounds that slavery was actually beneficial – both for the economy and the slave – while many in the North, separate from the bias resulting from a dependency on slavery, argued that it was an outdated, unnecessary, and immoral system that was beneficial to none. One of the most influential pieces of literature to support the abolitionist movement was Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, published in 1845
Fredric Douglass wrote, “What to the Slave is Fourth of July” in 1852. In this speech to the American public, Douglass states how great of a country American “was” and how great the forefathers “were”. In contrast to those statements he professes his reasoning for freeing slaves. However, Mary Rowlandson wrote, “A True History of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson” in 1682. This captive narrative takes place during the King Philips war, and depicts how the native Americans treated their prisoners of war.
1.Before reading this speech, I never thought of the fact that blacks felt like “outcasts” during the 4th of July. 2.Douglass really made it a point that “the fourth of July is yours, not mine” (1). He is speaking about only whites celebrated Independence while blacks still do not have independence. 3.In this speech, Douglass mocked the United States for being a “hypocrite” when it came to independence in terms of America’s religious beliefs at the time.

Women and girls in England are being asked to share their experiences of the health system as part of a government strategy to address inequalities.
Ministers say there is “strong evidence” services for female patients need improving.
Fertility, maternity and menopause care are among the areas to be discussed.
Campaigners say they are “delighted” steps are “finally” being taken to close the so-called “gender health gap”.
While women in the UK have a longer life expectancy than men, the Department for Health and Social Care says they are spending less of their life in good health.
Nadine Dorries, minister for women’s health, said: “Women’s experiences of healthcare can vary and we want to ensure women are able to access the treatment and services they need.
“It’s crucial women’s voices are at the front and centre of this strategy so we understand their experiences and how to improve their outcomes.”
Studies suggest gender biases in clinical trials are a contributing factor.
Less is also said to be known about many female-specific conditions and how to treat them.
Patients have repeatedly reported to the BBC that they have felt overlooked when talking to doctors about conditions like endometriosis or complications following a pelvic mesh repair.
From Monday 8 March, the Women’s Health Strategy will spend 12 weeks speaking to female patients about a wide range of issues including maternity care and mental health.
The plan was due to launch last year, but had to be delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
It is understood ministers hope to publish it when MPs return to Parliament after the summer break.
Campaigners have welcomed the idea but say it’s vital women are properly listened to and appropriate action taken.
Gill Walton, chief executive of the Royal College of Midwives, said: “We know that placing women at the centre of their own care not only improves outcomes in pregnancy, but also improves a woman’s experience of birth and maternity care.”
Mika Simmons, co-chair of the Ginsburg Women’s Health Board, filmmaker, and host of The Happy Vagina podcast, said: “Every single woman I speak to, myself included, has experienced either misunderstanding or loss as a direct result of slow or inaccurate diagnosis of their health concerns.
“I am delighted that this – the gender health gap – which grew out of a severe lack of historical research into women’s health issues, is not only finally being acknowledged but that steps are being taken to right size it.”

The state has revoked the psychology license of Dennis M. Harrison, a practicing psychologist in Columbia who has enjoyed a national reputation as an expert in child custody and abuse cases.
In a 53-page decision by the state's psychology board released to The Howard County Sun on Monday, the board stated that Harrison's license was revoked due to unprofessional and unethical conduct dating back to 1986.
The decision stated that Harrison failed to follow requirements of confidentiality in some cases, did not complete evaluations and treatment for which he was paid, and in one case allowed his assistant -- a high school student -- to handle treatment sessions for him.
The decision also said that Harrison repeatedly lied about his credentials, saying he had a doctorate in psychology. His doctorate is in philosophy.
Assistant Attorney General Harry J. Matz, representing the State Board of Examiners of Psychologists, said that unless the court chooses to intervene, the revocation is permanent and will preclude Harrison, 43, from practicing psychology in the state.
More than 2,300 psychologists are licensed to practice in Maryland. In the past five years, five have had their licenses revoked for unprofessional behavior, said Roslyn Blankman, administrator for the psychology board.
Harrison's attorney, Jeffrey W. Thompson, said in a written statement Tuesday that Harrison "categorically denies the allegations."
He said the board's actions were prompted by "pressure from various organizations," adding that Harrison was targeted because he is an outspoken advocate for children in sexual abuse cases.
The state board charged that Harrison asked parents and others to help him send into hiding children he believed were being sexually abused.
"The board's decision against Dr. Harrison strikes a blow to the rights of abused children and those doctors who speak out for them," Thompson said in the prepared statement.
Thompson filed suit Monday in Howard County Circuit Court, asking a judge to block the revocation order and to prevent the psychology board from disseminating copies of it to the press and public.The information is considered public information once a final order is signed.
But Judge J. Thomas Nissel, who met with Thompson and Matz in a closed session for an hour, denied that request.
The judge also decided the request to block the order would have to be scheduled for court next week.
If Harrison's request to block the board's order from taking effect is denied, he can appeal the board's decision in Circuit Court.
Harrison, who has practiced psychology for 15 years in Columbia, developed a national reputation for his involvement in child custody cases, particularly those involving allegations of sexual abuse. Among his cases was the highly publicized Washington, D.C., custody battle over Hilary Foretich, daughter of Dr. Elizabeth Morgan and Dr. Eric Foretich.
He also is licensed to practice in Washington, D.C. However, Matz said the licensing board there would be notified of Maryland's action, which would likely result in the loss of a license there.
In its decision to revoke the license Monday, the board outlined complaints from five of Harrison's former patients.
Court records state: *A patient sent to Harrison for counseling about emotional distress stemming from a back injury complained that Harrison spent most of their sessions talking about his child abuse cases. During one session, he graphically described sexual incidents of incest.
During other sessions, Harrison asked the patient if she would travel to Seattle, Wash., to help care for a child who had been sent into hiding. He also asked the woman to hide another child in her parents' home, where she was residing.
*During a highly publicized child custody case in Massachusetts, the mother, who did not have custody, sent the couple's young daughter into hiding. While the child was in hiding, Harrison allegedly interviewed and evaluated her without the court's permission and without telling court officers the child's whereabouts.
He also used photographs and part of a videotape of the child during the television program "A Current Affair" and discussed part of the "child's alleged examination" in a newspaper interview.
*A man placed on probation for five years due to a child pornography conviction was required to meet with Harrison monthly for treatment. But as Harrison's travel schedule and speaking engagements increased, he canceled that client's appointments.
The man "was beginning to get in trouble with his probation officer" as a result. Although Harrison knew the terms of probation required meetings with a psychologist, he instead allowed the man to meet with his assistant -- a high school student clearly not trained as a psychologist -- in lieu of scheduled sessions with Harrison.

A breeze pours into the grizzly-sized brewhouse through industrial rollup windows. High-backed, cushy chairs line the front bar, and a natural wooden table sits in the back. Around the corner, mermaid wallpaper lines a wall next to a classic sofa. “Wow” sneaks out of my mouth, which has been agape at the sight of Salty Bear Brewing, the newest stop on Randolph Avenue’s Costa Mesa Beer Trail.
“I was the original brewer at JT Schmidt’s and Bayhawk,” says Joe Scagliotti, the founder and brewer at Salty Bear. “I wasn’t going to go into beer again until I was the owner . . . and here I am!”
Despite the proliferation of new breweries in Orange County, Scagliotti is confident about his bright new spot’s chances. “I’ve wanted to open my own thing since 1994,” he says. “My theory is people aren’t going to stop making pizza. . . . People aren’t going to stop making coffee. People are going to keep doing what they’re going to do, and if you’re good, you’re gonna stick. No one ever says there are too many burger joints, right?”
The Costa Mesa native is most excited to open a business in his family’s neighborhood. Saturday’s grand opening will feature 11 new beers, as well as live music and food.
“Perhaps the coolest thing about being around small local breweries is you can always experience good, fresh, new beers,” says Scagliotti. “I want to keep people experiencing new beers for some time.”

In the event of a general government shutdown on October 1, 2013, the United States Patent and Trademark Office is expected to remain open, using reserve funds to operate as usual for approximately four weeks. Should the USPTO exhaust its reserve funds before a general government shutdown comes to an end, the USPTO would shut down at that time, except for minimum activity to accept new applications and maintain IT infrastructure, etc. The USPTO's website will provide updates on the situation as it develops. In the meantime, details for an orderly shutdown are available on page 78 of the United States Department of Commerce’s shutdown plan.

Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning is facing a Federal Court challenge to his office's cease-and-desist order barring Farney Daniels, a firm he identified as notorious for representing “patent trolls”, from brining a patent suit against a Nebraska based defendant.

It appears that the Attorney General is not backing down, and I am sure that his counterparts in numerous other states are paying close attention, especially as suits by "Patent Trolls" contiue to grow in both number and disfavor.

“National Dog Day is celebrated August 26th annually and serves to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year, and acknowledges family dogs and dogs that work selflessly each day to save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort. Dogs put their lives on the line every day – for their law enforcement partner, for their blind companion, for a child who is disabled, for our freedom and safety by detecting bombs and drugs and pulling victims of tragedy from wreckage.”
” National Dog Day wishes to encourage dog ownership of all breeds, mixed and pure – and embraces the opportunity for all dogs to live a happy, safe and ”abuse-free life”.
“National Dog Day is against any kind of “breed ban”. Dogs should not have to lose their lives because of the atrocities they have been forced to endure at the hands of man. And while we feel that American’s have the constitutional right to purchase a pure breed dog, we strongly discourage buying from pet stores, backyard breeders, the internet, newspaper ads and puppy mills, and rather encourage those seeking new canine companions, to verify that they are buying from a reputable breeder, educate themselves about their dog’s breed and better yet – visit their local shelter or pure breed rescue group for a new furry family member that will be forever grateful. Millions of dogs are killed each year because they are unwanted. They are wonderful and viable sentient beings that deserve compassion and respect. Please consider adopting on National Day!”

Childhood hunger is a problem throughout the country. And it’s a particularly serious issue in New Mexico: There, more than 1 in 4 children are at risk for not having enough to eat, and the state ranks second in the nation for childhood hunger.
To increase kids’ access to healthy foods, healthcare providers like Albuquerque’s Presbyterian Healthcare System are stepping up to the plate. In 2013, the USDA began funding child feeding programs at hospitals in Arkansas and Oklahoma. And this year, it expanded its reach with a pilot program in New Mexico.
Since February, Presbyterian Healthcare System (PHS) has been offering free meals for children at three of its regional hospitals. “Recent studies have shown there is a direct correlation between food insecurity and its association with poor health,” says Bill Ludwig, USDA Food and Nutrition Service Southwest regional administrator. “Therefore, it’s important we partner with the medical community so we can work together in the fight against hunger.
The meals are available at Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque, Socorro General Hospital and Plains Regional Medical Center in Clovis. And though these aren’t the only local places that offer feeding programs, for many children, they’re more accessible. Many meal pickups for children run by area organizations are hosted in community centers or in parks. But the meals are only available for a two-hour window, and the programs don’t run every day. “Since our meals are offered at a standing cafeteria, we can increase the number of hours that food is available,” says Leigh Caswell, Presbyterian Health System’s Director of Community Health. Though hours vary between hospitals, meals are generally available for a six- to eight- hour window every day.
During operating hours, any child can come into the cafeteria and get something to eat, along with some information on making healthy food choices. Kids are required to sign in so the hospital can track how many children are being fed, and all meals need to be eaten on site in the cafeteria. One of the hospitals also offers discounted meals for parents who come in with their children. “We’re supporting families to eat together,” Caswell says.
The number of meals served is reported to the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department, and the department submits the information to the USDA. The USDA reimburses the department for the meals, and the department reimburses the hospitals.
Similar to school cafeterias, the program follows the USDA’s child nutrition guidelines to ensure that kids receive balanced meals. The meals are put together using the items that the cafeteria is already serving, so there’s no need to devote additional labor toward making anything new. “We identify that the meals are child nutrition plates, so it has a fruit, a vegetable, a grain, a dairy and so on,” Caswell says.
Utilizing the cafeterias has made implementing the programs easy, but there has still been a learning curve. For instance, PHS has to submit menus to the USDA to show that their meals meet federal nutrition guidelines. “It’s a new thing for healthcare to do something like this,” Caswell says. To ease the transition, the USDA and Children, Youth and Families Department has come in to train staff and help get the program up and running. “People are really excited that we’re doing this, so they’re working hard to be successful,” Caswell says.
All those efforts seem to be paying off. So far, the program has served close to 750 children, and PHS is continuing to spread the word throughout the community. “We’ve created fliers and coupons that have information on where the cafeteria is and what the hours are. But kids don’t need to have one of the [coupons] in order to be served,” Caswell says.
And soon, help for even more of New Mexico’s kids will be on the way. “We plan to expand [to other hospitals] this summer. We’re not sure how many, but for now, at least one more, and it’s one of our larger hospitals,” Caswell says.
Ultimately, the system’s goal is to offer free meals for children at all of its eight area locations. “We’re a nonprofit health system, and our purpose is about improving health in communities we serve,” Caswell says. “For our staff and our providers, this is something that people are really proud of.”


As the speculations and rumours grow concerning Apple’s iPhone 6. We felt it necessary to give our own list of what we want to be in/on the new iPhone 6. Doing a quick Google of what the most people want from the latest iPhone will yield pretty similar results. We thought it wise to mention what the most generic consensus is amongst most apple fans, and then give our iPhone 6 must have list.
What the most people want
Certain things will always increase, and hence we did not feel it necessary to put on the list, things like the CPU, Memory and technical specs, as well as the camera. They will always get bigger, better and stronger and naturally increases with every iPhone model iteration.
1. A bigger screen – Personally we don’t care for the size of the screen. We’ve never been a fan of the big Samsung phones but the world proved that it is ready and wants/likes phones with bigger screens. We simply don’t get this. We share Steve Jobs’ opinion here, where you need to be able to perform any operation on the phone with one hand. Steve Job’s was anal about this. Hence the size of the iPhone 4 and all previous models. But, sales is what matters and if the demand is there for bigger phones then surely Apple will jump in and for the first time emulate it’s competitors with also producing a bigger sized iPhone.
2. Better battery life – This is a universal demand from all Smartphones worldwide. C’mon guys. Give me a phone with a battery that will last more than 1 day! No manufacturer has been able to accommodate the demand from the consumers here. Either give us an easier way to charge our phones (wireless), or make the battery better.
Also, with the phones getting bigger, and the games and apps getting more graphically intense it only makes things worse for the poor battery. We hope there is some scientific breakthrough. Do it smart scientists! If you can clone a sheep then surely you can create a battery that lasts 2 days?
3. Higher Screen Resolution – With a bigger screen must come a higher screen resolution. The iPhone 5S only sports a resolution of 1136 x 640 pixels and while this amounts to a comparatively high pixel density, it’s well behind Samsung’s Galaxy S4 that offers a full HD 1920 x 1080 pixel display. In addition the iPhone 5S still uses an LCD display while Samsung has offered what’s called an AMOLED screen in the Galaxy S4.
What We Want
1. Better battery life as described above. Or give us Wireless Charging.
2. Higher Screen resolution as described above
3. Thinner iPhone – Why? Because it looks freaking awesome that’s why. Like the MacBook Air, there is no technical advantage or a specific reason why it should be thinner. All i thinner model will do is show off the amazing design and craftsmanship that Apple posses. Give me a super thin phone and make it Gorilla proof so it cant break.
4. Waterproof phone and camera. This is another nice to have feature. But image hoe awesome it would be to jump into the pool and take pictures underwater? Waterproofing is not a new technology when it comes to phones. Check here.
5. Scratch and dent proof – I personally do not like putting a cover over my gloriously designed iPhone. It is like throwing a blanket over a Monet painting. Nobody can see it. But, sadly no matter how protective I am, it does get the odd scratch and dent. Give us an iPhone that is scratch and dent proof! Once again the technology is already there.
We only mentioned our must have features here. Obviously we also expect upgrades and enhancements to the generic and common aspects like memory, CPU, camera and iOS features.
What do you think? Agree?

“Brisbane will see more than one million dollars injected into the area’s economy over 3 days next year,” AUSVEG Chairman John Brent said on announcing that Brisbane will be the location for the 2011 National Convention for AUSVEG, the peak industry body for Australia’s 9,000 Potato and Vegetable Growers.
Growers and industry stakeholders will converge on Brisbane from 14-16 April 2011 with Brisbane officially set to host the AUSVEG National Convention again, following the great success of the industry’s inaugural 2010 Convention held at Jupiters on the Gold Coast.
The 2011 AUSVEG National Convention will be held at the five star Sebel-Citigate Hotel in Brisbane’s inner CBD next to the iconic Brisbane City Hall. The 14-16 April time period will fit in with delegates wishing to make the most of the Sunshine State’s excellent weather and ties in with school holiday periods on the East Coast of the country.
AUSVEG Chairman Mr John Brent said that he was exceptionally proud to see this landmark event returning to his home State and it will be exciting to build on the enormous success of the inaugural convention of 2010.
“One of the biggest elements to the 2010 Convention was its massive Trade Show and next year’s show is already set to eclipse previous events in the industry,” said AUSVEG Chief Executive Officer Mr Richard Mulcahy.
“This will again be the biggest single gathering of vegetable and potato growers for the entire year and no other conference can make that claim,” said Mr Brent. “I urge all vegetable industry stakeholders to be part of this important industry event”.

"ART WASHES AWAY FROM THE SOUL THE DUST OF EVERYDAY LIFE." - PABLO PICASSO
I have been an artist since childhood, first sketching comics from newspapers and then continuing art exploration throughout high school and into college. I studied fine art under Craig Marshall Smith, EC Cunningham, and Sandy Lane, graduating with a bachelor of fine arts from msu Denver.
My current work is a mingling of process and automatism. The process is in the preparation; building and stretching the canvas, prepping the paper, taping off areas of the surface that I want to preserve, etc. This is followed by a fast and automatic reaction to the surface. I want to be free of thought, this is when the best work comes through. I push the material and let the material push back. We have a conversation. If it doesn’t work out, I’ve learned something, I’ve discovered something, and I begin again. very much in alignment with the process of life and living.

Euro 2008: daily ramblings - Match day 4
Soccer is a game of patience and teamwork. Well-organized teams can be successful, occasionally very much so—witness Greece four years ago or, here at home, Canada at the 2000 Gold Cup. But, those examples are the exception. You see, soccer also is a game of flair--the ultimate team game broken open by a flash of individual brilliance.
Witness yesterday at Euro 2008. The holders, Greece, were soldiering on, playing the same sort of dull but effective game that led them to glory in Portugal. Even with the crowd’s whistles reigning down on them, the Greeks stuck to their game plan. Slow but sure. Wait for an opening.
But, on this day, it wasn’t to be.
Just as the neutral fan was beginning to fear that the tournament’s second scoreless draw was forthcoming, Zlatan Ibrahimovic produced the type of magic that makes this game so wonderful.
Out of nowhere the Swedish star, snakebitten internationally for almost three years previous, pounced on half an opportunity to rip a 25-yard strike to rip the game open and smash the Greek’s will.
There was plenty of game left, but Greece understood: There was no way back, not this time. Not this team.
Suddenly Greece isn’t an intriguing defending champion, but simply another underdog hoping to nip one off the counter. The Greek fan will always have 2004, but he or she had best hold onto those sweet memories because it does not appear that there will be any magic this time around--not unless the Greeks can find some passion to go along with their discipline.
It doesn’t seem likely.
Passion is not in short supply with Spain, who thrilled fans and neutrals alike with a brilliant effort earlier in the day. Passion is what the Spaniards are all about. Yesterday’s 4-1 win over capable Russia illustrated that perfectly. Of course the tournament is young and Spain has a history of breaking your heart, so it’s best not to get too smitten just yet.
You should always read Brunt, but you should especially read him today as he describes Spain as perfectly as anyone could.
Today: Group A goes at it for the second time. The opener, Czech Republic and Portugal, features two teams that opened with a win. The Portuguese deservedly so, the Czechs not so much. If either team wins, they will assure themselves a place in the quarters. The day’s second match is a must win for both the hosts Switzerland and Turkey. The Portuguese should win, but the Czechs have that feeling about them of a team that might just start to win when they shouldn’t. If Switzerland doesn’t win it will be a shame. The hosts deserved better from their opener and, as a neutral, it’s hard not to cheer for the home fans to get something today.

Nepal Police sets up separate bureau to look into human trafficking casesWith the rise in the cases of human trafficking, Nepal Police has set up a dedicated bureau to investigate and prevent the crime The Human Trafficking Bureau will have more than 50 staff under the leadership of SSP Ishwar Babu Karki
With the rise in the cases of human trafficking, Nepal Police has set up a dedicated bureau to investigate and prevent the crime. The Human Trafficking Bureau will have more than 50 staff under the leadership of SSP Ishwar Babu Karki.
“The bureau has been formed for the express purpose of investigating and preventing illicit human trade. To this end, we will also be working closely with the police in other countries,” Karki told the Post. Earlier, human trafficking cases were dealt by the Central Investigation Bureau and the Women and Children Service Directorate of the Nepal Police headquarters.
“Initially, the plan was to set up the bureau’s office at the Nepal Police headquarters, but we settled on opening the office at Babarmahal, considering the accessibility and convenience for the public,” Nepal Police Spokesperson SSP Uttam Raj Subedi told the Post.
Police data shows that 164 female trafficking victims were rescued between April 14 to October 17 last year. More recently, 130 Nepali girls were rescued from Manipur, India, while they were being trafficked to Myanmar.
“Human trafficking has increased in the sector of foreign employment recently. People are knowingly and unknowingly being taken to either Gulf or European countries, for job opportunities, by agents through third-countries. With a dedicated bureau, we can investigate and prevent human trafficking cases effectively,” said SP Uma Prasad Chaturvedi of the CIB.
Nepal Police is also planning to set up similar bureaus in all seven provinces.
Meanwhile, a separate bureau has also been formed to deal with cyber crimes.
SSP Subedi said that Nepal Police was currently building the infrastructure required for the bureau.
“We are recently importing some software and hardware for the bureau. Besides, we are also conducting training for our officers,” said SSP Subedi.
The bureau will be led by DIG Bikash Shrestha.

FAQ About Danny Boyd Jr

It wasn’t just illness that has kept Leo Komarov out for seven games and counting. The Islanders forward has also been dealing with a neck issue.
“He had gotten hit,” Islanders president and general manager Lou Lamoriello said on Tuesday. “He had a neck situation. But we had the flu at that time going on. It was a combination of things. We kept him off just to make sure of everything. Right now, he’s feeling as good as he can feel.”
Komarov continues to skate on his own and Lamoriello said he expects “he’d join the team within the week.”
Lamoriello also said left wing Matt Martin (injured reserve/lower body) resumed skating on Tuesday.
“He’ll be at least another week to 10 days,” Lamoriello said.
Martin was initially expected to miss four to six weeks.
Defenseman Nick Leddy (lower body) missed his second game in a row and is still day to day. Right wing Jordan Eberle (injured reserve/lower body) skated with teammates for the second straight day but there’s no timetable for when he will be cleared for contact. Forward Tom Kuhnhackl (injured reserve/lower body) has not resumed skating.
Also, Lamoriello said he expects Bode Wilde (ankle), a second-round pick in 2018, to play his first game for the Islanders’ AHL affiliate in Bridgeport “within the week” and remain with the Sound Tigers this season.
Derick Brassard played in his 800th NHL game, another reminder to the 32-year-old forward of the passage of time.
“Playing with guys that are 18 or 19 kind of reminds me a career goes by really fast,” said Brassard, who signed a one-year, $1.2 million deal to join the Islanders, his seventh NHL team since being selected sixth overall by the Blue Jackets in 2006. “I never thought when I was young that I’d play 800 games and I think I’m really proud of that.”
Brassard logged 14:29 without a shot as he had his career-high five-game goal streak snapped.
Still no update
Lamoriello was again asked about the status of Josh Ho-Sang, the 2014 first-rounder who requested a trade after not making the Islanders’ roster out of training camp. Ho-Sang has yet to play this season as Lamoriello told him not to report to Bridgeport while he tried to work out a deal.
That was a month ago.
“We’ll just have to wait and see,” Lamoriello said when asked whether Ho-Sang would eventually play for the Sound Tigers if no trade can be made.
Defenseman Devon Toews moved into the team lead with his seventh assist…The Islanders won 27-of-46 faceoffs (59.0 percent). Center Casey Cizikas won 16-of-21 (76.0 percent)…Forward Otto Koivula and defenseman Seth Helgeson were recalled from Bridgeport on Tuesday morning with the Islanders down to the minimum 12 healthy forwards and six healthy defensemen but promptly returned shortly after game time. The Sound Tigers host Springfield on Wednesday morning.

Jimbo Fisher, FSU have momentum to combat negative recruiting
In some fashion or another, negative recruiting is an aspect that takes place every year in college sports.
Whether it’s from a coach, an assistant or even players currently on a respective team, prized recruits may often hear about another school’s shortcomings in hopes of swaying a decision.
It may happen at some schools or from some coaches more than others. But when it does, coaches have to find a way to combat the negativity in order to land a future star on the team.
“Just tell the truth,” Florida State football coach Jimbo Fisher said when he faces negative recruiting. “If people are having to talk about you, then there’s something wrong with them. And that’s generally what happens.
“We don’t ever do that. We talk about the people we have and what we have at Florida State, and if that isn’t good enough, we understand that you don’t come.”
Fisher and the coaches on the Florida State football team are in line to land their fifth Top 5 recruiting class in six seasons, according to 247Sports’ composite team rankings. FSU’s 2016 class is currently ranked fifth.
During this recruiting cycle, FSU has lost out on several top prospects like the No. 1 running back in the nation Kareem Walker (New Jersey) and four-star linebacker Devin Bush Jr. (Pembroke Pines Flanagan) to Michigan in the last week alone. The No. 1 tight end in the country, Issac Nauta, and local receiver Keith Gavin, from Wakulla High, decommitted from FSU before the season began.
Negative recruiting may not have been a direct result of those players exploring other options. But the cases can be made against Florida State.
“I think when people look at a term like negative recruiting, they think of college coaches pounding away at other schools, but I think a lot of times, it is subtle” said ESPN national recruiting analyst Gerry Hamilton.
“Really great recruiters can negative recruit to a school sometimes without a kid even knowing it, but he leaves the conversation like ‘that made a lot of sense.’ But (the coach) didn’t sit there and say, ‘This school is bad. Here’s why.’”
One case in particular: Schools can attempt to sway prospects based rumors and reports of Fisher and defensive coordinator Charles Kelly entertaining jobs offers in recent weeks from LSU and Auburn, respectively.
At one point before Georgia hired Kirby Smart and Miami hired Mark Richt, a college coach could have presented a prospect with the idea that schools like UGA, UM, FSU and LSU — all schools that recruit in the fertile Southeast — were in influx with their respective coaching situations.
In the same breath, FSU — with Fisher and Kelly presumably in for the long run — will continue to sell recruits on the fact that they already have an established program, play in the ACC which allows for an easier path to the College Football Playoff, and have sent a modern-day record 29 players to the NFL draft in the last three seasons.
“You got to find the ways to get a recruit’s attention and unfortunately some of that is negative recruiting,” said ESPN SEC recruiting analyst Derek Tyson. “Whether a coach leaves, gets fired, or something major happens at a school, you want to show recruits there’s stability at your program and that you’ll be there for a while.”
Another hypothetical case FSU could be pitted against as the recruiting cycle comes to an end: The Seminoles did not play a number of highly touted freshman receivers who committed last year and relied heavily on running back Dalvin Cook leading the charge.
Gavin and Tampa Catholic’s Nate Craig-Myers — who decommitted from Auburn but is still considering Auburn, UF and FSU — are still top options at the wide receiver position for the Seminoles.
Opposing coaches could tell both players they could go to FSU and solely block for Cook, who will likely contend for the 2016 Heisman, if they even get on the field at all.
Or coaches could present the idea that FSU could be in for another quarterback battle, making it hard to gain continuity with returning starter Sean Maguire, second-year player Deondre Francois or incoming freshman Malik Henry.
“You know you’ve got great quarterbacks in the wings and they’ll throw the ball because that’s what they did when Jameis (Winston) was there,” Tyson said. “And Dalvin Cook is a once-every-10-years type of player. He’s an incredible back, so I don’t think that’s going to hurt them too much.”
Overall, Hamilton said FSU has plenty of recruiting firepower in its favor because of its 11-1 in-state record against Florida and Miami, its 2013 national championship, berth in the College Football Playoff last season, and playing in a New Year’s Six Bowl to end 2015.
“I don’t think anything is hurting FSU right now in recruiting,” Hamilton said. “I think (Charles) Kelly staying was a big deal for Florida State. Not having that turnover at defensive coordinator again — I think if that had happened that would’ve slowed their momentum.”
Fisher said he’s had conversations with players either during or after their recruitments and has heard anecdotes about being negatively recruited against. He even has a laugh with players about what was said after he’s landed them.
In the end, it’s up to the player to make a decision on where he/she wants to play collegiate sports after high school.
“You present your case, and if you see people listening to (negative recruiting), then unfortunately they do. But we’re not going to get into that,” Fisher said.
“These are 18-year-old kids, and I hope they all have great careers and great futures. This is not personal. They got to make a good choice just like coaches do.
“That’s just what you think is better for you, and that’s life.”


Synchrono Demand-Driven Manufacturing benefits make-to-stock (MTS) environments. The challenge in MTS environments is replenishment lead time. The lead time provided by the customer is less than the lead time needed to complete the finished good. Given this, MTS demand-driven manufacturers use a forecast to establish a stock buffer. Production execution, however, is based on actual demand. The stock buffer provides just-in-time materials to complete the order, ensuring there are no delays in responding to the demand signal.
MTS manufacturers apply Lean/Demand-Driven strategies to make the stock buffer as small as possible. This reduces carrying costs and the potential for waste. eKanban software is a great way to not only reduce lead times, but inventory costs.
Lower lead times are one of the primary benefits manufacturers implementing components of the Synchrono Demand-Driven Manufacturing Platform experience. Dynisco, an instrumentation manufacturer, reduced lead times from twelve to two weeks. Rex Materials Group reduced lead times from three-four weeks to less than five days in some cases.

Yup. That's the sketchbook I've been working on for about 8 months now.
I feel slow. >_<
Well, it has been fun with this one, being my first book with a toned paper, and I loved it. The next one I'll be using is also toned, because I just can't go back to white paper. Ha ha!
So, as a tribute, I present to you all a clutter mess of a tribute from March 5th to November 5th 2010.
I apologize for the lack of updates, but hopefully this will make up for it. I'm obviously still drawing. XD

Congratulations to ORI collaborator, Dr James Gavin who, working with Tom Wainwright at the Orthopaedic Research Institute, has had three papers accepted by the 20th European Congress of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine which takes place in Estoril, Portugal on 23rd to 28th April 2016.
The papers build on Tom’s research into the geko device and examine aspects of neuromuscular muscle activity
- Electrical nerve stimulation for twenty minutes does not induce neuromuscular fatigue in older adults, regardless of leg position
- Electrical nerve stimulation affects lower-leg neuromuscular activity, but not balance ability, in healthy, older adults
- Knee joint angle influences gastrocnemius neuromuscular activity during Geko electro-stimulation in healthy, older adults: a pilot study
These papers are a result of research conducted with the support of Meryl Cooper, who was on the Undergraduate Research Assistant programme last summer. Meryl was a great addition to our team and reported
“The programme allowed me to gain a greater insight into what is involved in a research study. Allowing me to attain greater knowledge in performing experiments and analysing results. From this opportunity, I have been part of a research paper that has been accepted into a conference with the possibility of attending and co-presenting. The URA position was a fantastic and inspirational job one that I would recommend to any undergraduate interested in research.”
