If your dog needs some help with developing impulse control, read on. :-) Soon he will be waiting at doorways, not jumping on guests, sitting politely to receive food or have his leash put on, and otherwise showing what a good canine citizen he can be!
Like children, dogs aren’t born knowing how to get what they want. They develop that skill by trying different things, and using what works. The goal here is to teach them that the most effective way to get anything they want, is to look to their human for guidance. That requires some self-control on their part, which (like any muscle when you exercise!) must be gradually built up over time, with many repetitions. The more they practice delaying their initial response to jump, grab, use their mouth, or rush towards the thing they want, the stronger their control will be. Your job is essentially to 1) PREVENT the impulse from being rewarding, and 2) TEACH a better response that does get the dog what he wants.
Remember that he needs opportunities to practice. If he pulls on lead, avoiding walks won’t help him learn. If he is anxious about people near his food, giving him a wide berth while he eats (or never allowing him high-value food or treats) only avoids triggering the problem – it doesn’t solve the root cause, which is teaching him how to act appropriately. You don’t want a human who is trained to never upset the dog; you want a dog who can handle his impulses. Remember to stay relaxed yourself throughout these exercises; don't lose your cool, or show frustration. If you're feeling overwhelmed and can't help yourself from adding excitement or negative energy to the interaction, put your dog up in a safe place, and then try again later.
One of the first things I teach a dog, is to Sit for anything he wants: food, treats, toys, being leashed up for a walk, petting, etc. I’ll assume you have already taught the Sit. Just remember to ask for one before handing out anything your dog wants. Now, he’s on his way to the mindset that “he works for you”! It will begin the great habit of looking to you for permission and guidance. Other commands besides Sit are good options as well. :-) Feel free to mix it up!
Note: if he just won’t Sit for his food and frantically climbs your legs (or threatens you), tie him to a piece of furniture or a tree, or close the other end of his leash in a door before bringing the food out. Then wait until he is calm and responsive to give it to him. Extreme measures may be necessary once or twice, with a poorly developed adult dog, but you’ll be amazed how quickly he gets with the program once he understands how it all works.
The second thing would be to teach eye contact. Here’s a good description of a method for doing this, here is a video example, and here’s an interesting LCK interpretation for you philosophical types. ;-)
Hopefully your dog is crate trained. This can be essential in an emergency, such as a hurricane evacuation or emergency stay at a relative’s house...and also keeps him safe if he hasn’t yet learned what not to chew, or if there’s something going on in the home that he should be kept separate from. It also teaches him to manage his emotions, to self-soothe, and to develop an “off switch” so he can be calm when there’s nothing specific for him to do. Crate training is an excellent exercise for building self control. You might enjoy Susan Garrett’s program “Crate Games” for introducing your dog to the crate! Dogs can be crate trained at any age; it’s never too late.
Canines have an excellent understanding of personal space, and utilize it often amongst themselves. Here are two links on understanding spatial pressure, and putting it to use with your companion! Also, check out this link on yielding, by the great Dick Russell.
Learning not to bolt out the door is another essential milestone. Here is a good video on keeping your dog from being a door dasher. Check out this video as well. The two combined will give you a peaceful doorway in no time! It can also be practiced with outdoor gates, crates, or any other threshold.
If you train formal obedience, you are already familiar with the Long Down. A comparable skill would be, Go to Place. However, if your dog isn’t trained to this degree, you can practice a simple exercise called Sit on the Dog. :-) It can be done while you watch a movie or work on the computer, and daily practice should create a dramatic difference in your dog’s self-management skills.
Similarly, there’s a little game I like to play with dogs. Get them all revved up, play tug or fetch or just roughhouse with them. Then – firmly say, “Settle”, and hold the dog still for a few seconds. As soon as he stops struggling to get away, say “Yes!” and reward with more high energy play. This basically installs a switch where the dog can turn his excitement off and on at will.
Acclimating a dog to physical restraint is a critical life skill, as well. This should be done when he is a puppy, but it’s never too late, as long as you develop the skill more slowly with adults and are aware of any triggers (such as being held by the collar) that you may need to desensitize him to. With pups (and non-aggressive adults), I not only restrain by leash (during walks, Sit on the Dog, back-tying them to a tree or piece of furniture…) and collar holds, but also handle all body parts including the muzzle, teeth, and paws...hug them from above and lift the front feet off the ground...roll them over, and pick them up. All of this is done in a friendly, loving way, and in a safe location where they aren’t subject to anything scary or stressful nearby. You don’t want the first time a dog has his collar grabbed or his body picked up, to happen quickly in an emergency situation where he is already freaking out, because then you’re likely to be bitten.
Teach loose-leash walking. Here are two of my favourite examples of introducing a dog to yielding to leash pressure: Tyler Muto and Michael Ellis but there are many different effective ways to teach this; I’m sure you can find one that fits your personality and your dog.
Set up his environment so that he can’t self-reward, by doing things you don’t want. Likewise, help him to understand how to get those things in a more appropriate way. (For example, if he is jumping on guests, you can use a leash to prevent his success at jumping - then command a Sit, which results in the visitor petting him as a reward.) All good things come through YOU, and your guidance! “Indirect access” is an extremely useful way to build a more responsive dog, especially with primitive breeds (such as huskies or Shiba inu) or dogs who are not food-motivated.
Basic obedience training goes a long ways towards creating a responsive dog with good impulse control. Often, it provides enough structure that a specific focus on impulse control doesn’t even become necessary. Even “trick training” in exchange for treats, gets the dog in a healthy mindset of respecting human leadership rather than taking too much responsibility upon himself. (Too much responsibility is the fast track to an anxious and oft-times aggressive dog!) Always be clear in your communications with your dog, make sure he 100% knows what you’re asking of him before you accuse him of disobedience, and never give a command you don’t (or can’t) enforce. Working for his people, respecting their space, and trusting that they will be clear and consistent with him lets the dog relax into the role of doing what’s expected of him, and not worrying about anything else. A calm and secure dog is MUCH better positioned to manage his behaviour and impulses.
Here are several additional links on impulse control, and indirect access. :-)
If developing your leadership is giving you trouble, there are MANY different “no free lunch” style programs located approximately halfway down this page:http://wolfdogproject.com/followers.html#no (The page itself describes a non-confrontational rank-reduction program, for dogs who have taken control of too much within the household.)
*I’d like to offer one last bit of advice on managing impulsiveness, especially for those who are raising bully breeds or their mixes, or for folks whose dogs are showing aggressive tendencies when excited. You want to keep your dog “under threshold”, never allowing him to get so aroused that things escalate into very rough play and possibly a full blown attack. Dogs experiencing impulsive aggression seem very happy, tail wagging, lots of enthusiasm as they mouth and jump on people (or other dogs). They often get even more overstimulated when someone tries to interrupt their “play”. While all of the above will help you instill an “off switch” in your dog and greatly improve his ability to control yourself, you also want an additional safety mechanism. Make sure you know how to de-escalate your dog. If he’s mouthing you and starting to bite, it’s usually not the time to yell, wrestle him off, or try to get him more excited about a toy (although you need to know your own individual dog). Don’t psych him up: treats, toys, high pitched voice, “Do you wanna do this, who’s a good boy??” Instead, become a boring target: stand still, don’t make eye contact, try not to make noise or fight back. Go limp and ignore him if possible, then slowly and calmly remove yourself from the situation. You want to de-escalate the situation at the first sign he is starting to ramp up and get out of control. Additionally, if your dog has this behaviour pattern, NEVER take risks that could lead him him escaping the home or yard without being leashed to a responsible adult capable of controlling him. This is a particularly risky behaviour trend that exists in a small portion of the dog population. If this is your dog, please keep yourself and everyone else safe, and consult with a trainer experienced in impulsive aggression.

|9.||An internal combustion engine according to any one of Claims 18, character ized in that the cylinder chamber of the supercharger is constructed with a replaceable lining having an outer surface which forms a wall against the cooling channels of the su percharger.|
The internal combustion engine and the supercharger normally attached to the engine undergo mutually different thermal variations in operation, which in extreme cases can result in significant mechanical stresses and subsequent risk of damage. After being started-up, the engine reaches a normal, constant operating temperature relatively quickly, whereas the temperature of the supercharger is dependent partly on the conduc- tion of engine heat through the material of the supercharger, and partly on the opera- tional mode of the supercharger. When the engine is started in extreme low temperatures, e. g. in temperatures of-30°C or lower, the lubricating oil in the supercharger is highly viscous and the clearance between components that move relative to one another is dis- advantageous. Thermal stresses also occur between the engine and the supercharger housing. This drawback also occurs in normal operation as the temperature of the super- charger housing falls when only a slight pressure is applied to the accelerator and the su- percharger consequently is inactive and subjected to the effect of a cold head wind, and thereafter rise quickly when the engine is accelerated and the supercharger therewith be- comes active.
The object of the present invention is to provide a simple and effective solution to these problems and also a solution which provides further improvements to an internal combustion engine of the aforedescribed kind.
This is achieved in accordance with the invention with an internal combustion engine designed in accordance with Claim 1. Further improvements will be apparent from Claims 2-8.
The provision of cooling channels that surround the cylindrical working chamber of the supercharger and the connection of these channels to the engine cooling system, as stated in Claim 1, results in equalization of the temperature differences between the en- gine and the supercharger housing. The best effect will, of course, be achieved when liq- uid coolant circulates in the cooling channels.
As the supercharger housing normally includes lubricant channels, it is suitable to arrange said channels so that they communicate with the engine oil channels through which pressure oil circulates. The temperature of the lubricating oil in the supercharger is also effectively regulated in this way.
In order to benefit effectively from the possibility of utilizing the heat generated by the supercharger before it is subjected to full load, there is conveniently connected to the clutch between the engine shaft and the supercharger drive shaft a device which de- tects the temperature in the supercharger housing and which prevents actuation of said clutch whilst the temperature detected is beneath a given threshold value.
With the cooling channels of the supercharger and the engine, and possibly also their lubricant channels, integrated with one another, it is also appropriate to integrate the supercharger housing and the cylinder block or cylinder head of the engine, so as to obtain a compact construction in the absence of unnecessary hoses or pipes.
As disclosed in Claim 9, it may be appropriate in this respect to provide the su- percharger housing with an exchangeable lining that forms the inner surface of the actual cylinder space, similar to the way in which so-called wet cylinder linings are formed in car engines. One gain in this respect is that the temperature of the cylinder chamber in the supercharger is controlled very effectively, whilst another is that the lining can be easily replaced should the cylinder surface be damaged.
The aforesaid integration enables the engine cooling system to be connected through the medium of internal channels, and also enables the lubricating system of an oil lubricated supercharger to be connected to the lubricating system of the engine through the medium of internal channels in which engine pressure oil circulates.
A supercharger will often include an hydraulically operated clutch. This clutch may also be connected to the engine hydraulic system through the medium of internal hydraulic fluid channels, via a regulating valve.
Modem engines are normally of the overhead valve type and include at least one overlying camshaft. In this case it is suitable to integrate the supercharger housing with the cylinder head of the engine, therewith suitably enabling a camshaft to be used to drive the supercharger. One further advantage with such integration, apart from enabling a camshaft to be used as a drive shaft, resides in the nearness to the engine induction channels. Such integration is particularly beneficial in the case of a V-type engine, in
which the supercharger is built in between and together with the cylinder heads of the two banks of cylinders.
The invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompany- ing drawings which illustrate schematically different embodiments of engines according to the invention and in which Figure la is a cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of an inventive engine, taken on the line la-la i Figure I b; Figure I b is a side view of the engine shown in Figure la; Figure 2a is a cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of an inventive en- gine; Figure 2b is a side view of the engine shown in Figure 2a; Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of a third embodiment of an inventive engine; and Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the upper part of a further embodiment of an inventive engine.
Figure la illustrates an internal combustion engine that includes a cylinder block 1, a cylinder head 2, and an oil tray 3. The cylinder block includes on one side, on which the induction channels 4 are situated, a convex-dished enlargement that forms the hous- ing 5 of a supercharger of the screw-compressor type. The housing 5 comprises a core 5a that includes external cooling fins 5c which are fitted snugly in an outer cylindrical part 5b. Formed between the core 5a and the cylindrical part 5b is a space which surrounds said core and in which the cooling fins define therebetween a large number of cooling channels 7 that connect with the cooling channels 8 of the engine. Two screw rotors 6 are rotatably mounted in a cylindrical working chamber in the core 5a of the housing, said chamber being surrounded by the cooling channels 7. The supercharger housing 5 is disposed so far forwards on the cylinder block 1 that a pulley 1 Oa mounted on a rotor drive shaft 10 projecting out from the front end-wall 9 of the housing 5 lies in the same plane as a pulley 11 mounted on the crankshaft of said engine, wherewith a supercharger drive belt 12 extends around the two pulleys 1 Oa, 1 1.
The supercharger has an inlet 13 situated on the rear end-wall, and an outlet 14 that opens into a channel 15 in the outer part of said cylindrical part 5b and extends up- wards to a channel 16 in the cylinder head 2, where said channel has the same width as
the line or bank of induction channels 4. This broad section of the channel 16 includes two water-cooled, series-connected heat exchangers 17 that are provided with external cooling fins and disposed in accordance with the method proposed in SE 9900041-6.
The drive shaft 10 of the supercharger is provided conventionally with an hy- draulic disc clutch 18 which enables the supercharger to be disengaged when not re- quired for use. Actuation of the clutch, is effected by means of devices (not shown) in conjunction with engine acceleration. In order to prevent actuation of the clutch when the temperature of the supercharger is below a given threshold value, the temperature sensing device 19 is installed in the supercharger housing for indicating such a tempera- ture state and for actuation of the clutch 18 through the medium of a pipe 24 that leads to a clutch-mounted valve (not shown).
The core 5a and the cylindrical part 5b of the housing 5 include a removable end- wall part 9 which sealingly closes an opening situated in the front end of said core 5a and said cylindrical part 5b and through which a rotor drive shaft and its associated seal extend. After having removed the pulley lova, the wall part 9 can be removed and the core 5a withdrawn from the cylindrical part 5b for service or replacement.
Figures 2a and 2b illustrate an alternative embodiment of the described super- charger and its drive mechanism. The entire supercharger housing 5 with core 5a and cylindrical part 5b are cast in one piece with the cylinder block 1 and with flanges or other spacing means for defining the cooling channels 7 surrounding the core 5a. A toothed wheel 20 firmly mounted on the crankshaft of the engine functions to drive a transmission 21 that extends through an opening 22 in the wall of the cylinder block 1 to a toothed wheel 23 firmly mounted on the drive shaft 10 of the supercharger. As a result of this internal drive, the supercharger will be located further to the rear of the engine in comparison with the Figure 1 embodiment. Another difference is that the channel 15 from the supercharger outlet 14 has been formed by a casing 25 sealingly mounted on the supercharger housing 5 and extending to the connections of the induction channels 4 where, as in the earlier case, the heat exchanger tubes 17 of the cooling arrangement are placed, as will be apparent from Figure 2b. As with the earlier embodiment, a tempera- ture sensor 19 is provided for preventing actuation of the clutch, when the temperature of the supercharger housing is below a given threshold value.
As with the earlier embodiment, the cooling channels 7 of the supercharger of the Figure 2 embodiment are integrated with the engine cooling channels 8. Channels 26 are provided for conducting pressure oil to the supercharger housing 5 from the engine oil pump 27, for lubricating supercharger bearings and for supplying pressure oil to the disc clutch 18 normally included in the supercharger (Fig. 2b).
Figure 3 illustrates an embodiment of an inventive internal combustion engine in which the supercharger housing 5 is integrated with the cylinder head 2 of the engine.
The supercharger housing 5 is positioned so that its outlet 14 is located opposite an inlet to a collecting chamber 13 of the kind proposed in said Swedish Patent Publication 9900041-6 and in which the heat exchanger tubes 17 of a cooling device are contacte transversely by the compresse air of combustion delivered to the line of induction channels 4 of an inline cylinder overhead valve engine. A pulley 31 on the supercharger drive shaft is driven by a belt 32 extending around a pulley 34 which is non-rotatably mounted on a camshaft 33.
A corresponding arrangement is provided in the V-engine having overhead valves and shown in Figure 4. In this case, the supercharger housing 5 is placed between the cylinder banks 41,42 with the outlet 14 of the supercharger facing down towards heat exchanging tubes 17 of the aforedescribed kind disposed in a distribution chamber 43. The outlet openings of the distribution chamber coincide with the rows of induction channels 4a, 4b of the two cylinder banks. As in the earlier case, a pulley 44 on the su- percharger drive shaft is driven by a belt 46 which extends around said pulley and also around a pulley 45 non-rotatably mounted on a camshaft.
The embodiments illustrated in Figures 3 and 4 also include a temperature sensor 19 which functions to sense the temperature of the supercharger housing and to prevent actuation of a clutch (not shown) corresponding to the clutch 18 when the temperature sensed is below a given threshold value.
It will be understood that the invention is not restricted to the illustrated and de- scribed embodiments thereof and that modifications can be made within the scope of the inventive concept defined in the accompanying claims. For instance, the invention can be applied with superchargers other than screw-rotor type. Other types of intermediate coolers may be used, although it may be difficult to position coolers of other types. The invention can also be applied to air-cooled engines and air-cooled superchargers.

May 11, 2015; Channel 3000 WISC-TV (Madison, WI)
In Madison, Wisconsin, the decision about whether or not to indict the officer who shot 19-year-old Tony Robinson, Jr., will be announced this morning. Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne said that he would give 24 hours notice before making the decision public. This has given the superintendent of the Madison School District cause to issue advice to students and parents about the protests that may ensue and students’ participation in them. In the past, students have skipped school to attend.
Superintendent Cheatham, while asking that parents encourage students to stay in school and participate in discussions, says that if they do decide to join protests, to talk safety issues through with them.

“We are planning to provide structured opportunities at middle and high school for students to discuss what happened once the announcement is made,” Cheatham said. “At the elementary level, our staff will be ready to support students and provide opportunities for conversations as issues come up.
“While we have been proud of how responsibly and safely our students have participated in events throughout the community, we also think it is important for you to talk with your child about both their rights and responsibilities as part of a protest if they choose to participate, as well as the consequences of a possible arrest.”
The district’s website provides resources for parents on the topic.—Ruth McCambridge

In konkani(Goa) the appe/appam are called "Ellappe" will post the Goan Ellappe recipe soon.
These delicate golden brown spongy balls cooked in the Appe pan are a treat not only for kids but for grown ups too ;) My kids love any variety of appe but their favourite are these dainty pancake puffs.
- Heat the Appe pan on medium heat.
- Pour a spoon full of the pancake batter in the indents of the pan.
- Let cook for a couple of minutes then flip to the other side and let cook for a minute on the other side.
- Take out of the pan.
- Enjoy sprinkled with icing sugar or drenched in maple syrup.
Sometimes I make savoury puffs using same pancake batter but add whatever seasoning I want like, chopped onion,grated carrots, minced green chilly, chopped coriander leaves , etc.
I have a nonstick Appe pan, so I do not use any oil to grease the indents of the pan.

Quinn is having a rough summer. Her beloved grandmother has been put into a nursing home, her dad’s gambling addiction has flared back up, and now her worst enemy is back in town: Wesley James, former childhood friend and life ruiner.
So when Wesley is hired to work with her at Tudor Tymes, a medieval England-themed restaurant, the last thing Quinn’s going to do is forgive and forget. She’s determined to remove him from her life and even the score for once and for all—by getting him fired.
But getting rid of Wesley isn’t as easy as she’d hoped. When Quinn finds herself falling for him, she has to decide what she wants more: to get even, or to get the boy.

Among the strands of disinformation that accompanied the vaccination campaign against Covid-19 is the one that focuses on the blood of the vaccinated, considered unsafe or harmful by many conspiracy theorists.
According to some false narratives, mRna vaccination would have dangerous adverse effects on human blood and would be able to create clots that would effectively prevent transfusions. According to others, the anti-Covid vaccine would be able to weaken human antibodies until they are destroyed; then there are also those who have – erroneously – claimed that some type of ban on vaccinated donors had been imposed by organizations such as the Red Cross or the Association of Italian Blood Volunteers (Avis).
In fact, blood donations from vaccinated patients are safe. The scientific evidence tells us so. Here’s how things stand.
The Circulation of Fake News
Misinformation about donations from vaccinated patients has not only circulated in Italy. Although there have been cases that closely concerned our country (such as the one that erroneously attributed responsibility for having thrown away some bags of blood from vaccinated patients due to the presence of clots), the false news on the blood of vaccinated particularly widespread internationally.
In the past, for example, we at Facta.news had checked news concerning Australia, Japan and the United States. In the first case, a video had been released which claimed that the Australian government had forbidden vaccinated people from donating blood: in reality, the news had been denied by both the Ministry of Health and the local Red Cross. Nor was it true that blood donations from vaccinated patients had been definitively suspended in Japan. It had been a temporary measure, waiting for the competent authorities to clarify the criteria and methods of withdrawals. Finally, the American Red Cross has never claimed that mRna vaccination could destroy the antibodies of the vaccinated.
As shown by a search carried out within the Google Fact-check Explorer, a tool that allows you to view the various fact-checking articles written on a given topic, there are many insights dedicated to the topic and they have been published by fact-checking projects checking active in various countries, from France to Northern Ireland, from the United Kingdom to India.
What Does Science Say?
In reality, the blood of vaccinated people is safe, it can be donated and used for transfusions. In Italy, the National Blood Center, set up at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS) in 2007, has repeatedly reiterated that “vaccinated people can safely donate blood” and that “the bags taken from those who are immunized are used” for transfusions “without any difference with the others”.
From a report drawn up in December 2022 by Avis, it emerges that there are over 1,800 patients in our country who need a transfusion every day, many of them due to serious pathologies that have made the service of blood collection centers indispensable even in the tougher than the pandemic.
Can Covid-19 be Transmitted With a Transfusion?
No, and the national president of Avis, Gianpietro Briola, also intervened on the matter, who listed the news among one of the “lies” and “baseless legends” circulating in recent months.
The scientific literature available today, as reconstructed by Avis, agrees that there is no evidence of transfusion transmission of the SarS-CoV-2 virus. Transmission occurs, however, mostly via droplets (droplets) and aerosols when an infected person coughs, sneezes, speaks or breathes in the vicinity of others.
Because you have to wait a few days between the vaccine and the donation
The Italian authorities advise waiting 48 hours between the administration of the anti-Covid vaccine (or a booster dose) and the donation.
This is due to the fact that the vaccines available today in our country are based on inactivated viruses or are recombinant protein vaccines (based on the Spike protein) and it is assumed that possible adverse effects to be monitored may occur within two days. The intent is to preserve the health of the donor, even before that of the recipient.
In the event that following a dose of the anti-Covid vaccine the patient presents symptoms such as fatigue or fever, the invitation is to wait at least seven days after the symptoms have resolved before proceeding with a donation.
The situation is different in the case of an anti-Covid vaccine based on live attenuated viruses (produced by generating a genetically weakened version of the virus that replicates in a limited way), which – at the time of writing – are not available in Italy. In these cases, the suggestion is to wait at least four weeks and, only then and in case of good health, proceed with the donation.
Is Donating Blood And Plasma The Same Thing?
No, blood and plasma are two different things: in the second case, in fact, we mean the liquid component of blood, normally also composed of a solid part (red and white blood cells and platelets). Consequently, the donations are also different.
As explained by Avis, there are in fact different types of donations: that of whole blood, that of plasma (called plasmapheresis), that of platelets (plateletpheresis) and the multiple donation of blood components. For whole blood sampling, the volume taken is established by law at 450 ml, for a maximum of four donations per year for men and women of non-fertile age, and two donations per year for women of childbearing age. . For plasmapheresis, on the other hand, the volume withdrawn is between a minimum of 600 ml and a maximum of 700 ml, for a total of a maximum of 1.5 liters per month and 12 liters per year.
As specified by the Italian Ministry of Health, both whole blood and plasma are essential for patients who need transfusions and, in the case of a donor vaccinated against Covid-19, it is possible to proceed with one and the other donation.
Among the strands of disinformation on the anti-Covid vaccines widespread in Italy is the one that considers the blood of vaccinated patients unsafe or dangerous, so much so as to advise against its use for transfusions.
In reality, the international scientific literature and the bodies that, in the various countries, deal with the collection of donations agree that the blood of those who have received one or more doses of the anti-Covid vaccine is safe.
In Italy, donations have proved to be essential for the health of patients who needed them throughout the course of the pandemic. But it is not true that Covid-19 can be transmitted with a transfusion. In our country, blood and plasma donations (different from each other) were carried out in compliance with the rules to limit the contagion among those present as much as possible. In case of recent vaccination or booster, the expert advice is to wait 48 hours before proceeding with the donation.

Sleep, quintessential need of all.
Craved, yet distrusted by (wo)men.
Sleep, like his senior brother, death;
make the strong vulnerable, the weak
more hapless. But sleep must, must we not?
To rejuvenate that which a man makes.
Cold sweat of dreams puncture the bliss
of sleep; and the body craves the preference
of night owls for chatter which tatters the flesh.
Tattles, gossips, calls are welcomed; so long
as the head does not nod to the drumbeats
of sleep. Fatigue be damned. No sleep tonight!
Who/what will intercede between sleep
and this mortal fear of slumbering to death?
What guarantees do we have that slumber
will remain so, and not a procession to a crypt?
Any panacea for the dumbing angst?
What elixir for this morbid fear of sepulchers?
There is but one tonic, freely given to all.
It requires trust so base, that others will
troll at those who freely have it in Him; in
whose hands the twists, turns, tides of mortals
lay. He commands sleep, death bows to Him.
Sleep well when you have Him for a pillow.

The heated battle brewing over parking issues has come to an end after an agreement was formally reached Thursday, with a compromise measure that was placed on the February 2008 ballot.
The Sensible Parking Initiative, which was put on the February 2008 ballot Thursday, is the result of a compromise struck between Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin, downtown business interests and transit advocates.
In exchange for filing the measure, the campaign for November’s Parking for Neighborhoods Initiative, backed by Gap founder Don Fisher and neighborhood merchant groups, is over.
“We are going to stop working,” said Jim Ross, campaign manager for the Parking for Neighborhoods Initiative, after learning of Thursday’s filing. It is too late for anyone to withdraw measures from the November ballot.
Peskin had engaged in talks with downtown business interests and transit advocates about a compromise after he successfully put on the November ballot a measure to fix Muni. TheMuni measure included a parking provision that would have negated the Parking for Neighborhoods Initiative.
Opponents of the initiative said it flies in the face of The City’s transit-first policy by allowing more parking with little planning oversight. This set the stage for an aggressive political battle and brought the opposing forces together for the compromise.
As of July 22, the campaign for the parking initiative had raised $113,750, according to political contribution filings with the Ethics Commission.
The compromise ensures little support for the parking initiative, while it fuels the support for Peskin’s Muni measure.
The measure would allow at least one parking space for each housing unit constructed in the western part of The City, which includes such neighborhoods as the Sunset, Marina, Pacific Heights and the Richmond. It would also allow developers to build parking garages to allow for no more than 2,500 cars in part of the South of Market area bounded by Howard, Sixth, Townsend, Division and Ninth streets.

Dr. Janice Wenger Retires
In 1973, Professor Emeritus Raymond Herbert met Dr. Janice Wenger when she won the MTNA West Central Division Collegiate Piano Competition, held here at MU and when she applied for a faculty position in 1978, he became her strong advocate. Dr. Wenger very much appreciates all she learned from him, stating, “he was a kind and effective mentor for me in the first part of my many years in the music department, and we have remained life-long colleagues and friends.”
In addition to teaching, she has been active in all levels of the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA), including serving in many office positions such as treasurer, vice-president, division president, etc. She also co-chaired the MTNA Chamber Music Commissioning Project for the last 11 years, a national effort to provide new intermediate-level piano trios with unusual instrument combinations. Proud of the project’s accomplishments, she comments, “we have commissioned and premiered 21 different compositions, which are particularly aimed at pre-college music students just starting to experience chamber music ensembles. This project is continuing into 2022, and perhaps beyond.”
The School of Music has also benefitted greatly from Dr. Wenger’s keen eye for details and organization. For several years, she has served as Associate Director, focusing on maintaining the School of Music bylaws and many other organizational duties. Her multi-faceted talents have helped keep the school organized all the while producing accomplished pianists. Dr. Wendy Sims, Mizzou Director of Music Education, said it best when she commented, “if there was an Emmy or Oscar or Tony award for “Best Supporting Actress in a School of Music,” Janice Wenger would have won it multiple times—in fact, she would have received a life-time achievement award by now. Whether in her role as a thoughtful, musical and dependable collaborative musician, or by gently but firmly pushing her students to reach their highest potential, or as a conscientious chairperson/member of committees too numerous to count, or as the detail-oriented keeper of the bylaws and drafter of accreditation reports, or by mentoring faculty through the stressful tenure and promotion processes and leading a remarkably successful departmental awards committee, Janice has demonstrated a rare willingness to use her considerable strengths and talents most often for the benefit of others. It is no wonder that she is cherished by her students, valued by her colleagues, and respected by all. Her retirement will most certainly leave a noticeable void in the School of Music—she will be missed!”
Dr. Wenger was also instrumental in overseeing the purchase of a fortepiano in 2006 and has toured with the instrument around this region with many of her faculty colleagues, an experience she will treasure. Finding great professional satisfaction in her student’s accomplishment, she shares, “many of my piano students have gone on to successful careers in piano teaching and performing. Every student has been a joy to me, but it’s particularly gratifying to see several who have flourished in this great profession.” Sarah Ryan Buckley was one of those students (MM Collaborative Piano SP2010) who also had the honor of working alongside Dr. Wenger as an adjunct professor for a short time. Sarah states, “I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to study with and get to know Dr. Wenger. Her mentorship shaped my career greatly. In addition to her immense talent and knowledge of music, I was guided by her impeccable teaching ability and kindness. A highlight of our time together was definitely playing duets on the fortepiano together and being welcomed to her home for Thanksgiving. I find myself emulating much of what I learned from Dr. Wenger, and I hope to also touch lives in the way she has unmistakably touched mine. Wishing her the best in retirement!.”
Further showing her dedication to her students, Dr. Wenger will continue to work at MU part time next year to support her current applied piano students who are in the middle of degree study. When reflecting upon her 43 years at MU, Wenger states, “the School of Music was very welcoming when I first came, and I’ve found it to be a friendly and energetic place to work ever since. I particularly enjoy the faculty and staff friendships I’ve made; the natural changes in personnel over the years have given me the opportunity to know even more great musicians and friends.”
In her retirement, Dr. Wenger and her husband have plans to continue their exploration of national and international cities and art museums, one of the first destinations being Spain, a trip that was originally planned for May 2020. The School of Music will greatly miss her institutional knowledge, great piano expertise, precise eye for detail, and her warm and friendly demeanor. We wish Dr. Wenger all the best in her future endeavors.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Tommy DeVito could have been a feel-good story in this feel-bad New York Giants season when the rookie quarterback who grew up 10 minutes from the Meadowlands was thrust into the game against the New York Jets. But it was pretty clear almost immediately that he hadn’t earned Brian Daboll’s trust.
So at halftime, the Giants coach made the decision to go “old school” and hand the ball to his last remaining good player on almost every play. He decided he’d let Saquon Barkley carry the team as far as he could take them. So they ran Saquon Barkley, ran him again, and then ran him some more — right up until the moment when they needed him the most.
For reasons that are hard to explain and defend, Daboll opted not to hand the ball to Barkley on a 4th and 1 from the Jets’ 17 with just 28 seconds remaining on Sunday afternoon, when one yard would have been enough to seal a Giants’ win. Instead, he opted for a 35-yard field goal from his sore-legged kicker, Graham Gano, who had already missed one kick earlier in the game. And when Gano missed, it set off a depressing chain reaction of events on a miserable, wet day, that left the Giants with a 13-10 overtime loss.
It would be easy to fault Gano for missing what is basically a chip shot field goal for him, or to blame the defense for giving up two big pass plays in the final 24 seconds of regulation, which set up Greg Zuerlein’s game-winning, 35-yard field goal for the Jets at the other end. But it was hard to get past the one lousy yard the Giants needed to secure what would’ve been a 10-7 victory, especially after Barkley had torn up the Jets defense for 94 yards on 25 carries in the second half.
Daboll explained that he thought if Gano made it, the Giants would lead by 6 and the Jets would probably need to go 75 yards for a touchdown to win the game. And the way his defense was playing, he liked his odds.
“There’s always a flip side,” Daboll said. “I understand what it is. I mean, in hindsight, I understand the question. Completely legit question, but it’s a decision that we made. It didn’t work out.”
Nothing worked out for the Giants, because this year nothing does.
Take, for example, their decision a few weeks ago when they lost Daniel Jones to a disc injury in his neck. Believing that he wouldn’t be out long, the Giants decided not to put him on injured reserve or sign a veteran quarterback. They felt comfortable with veteran Tyrod Taylor taking his place and promoting DeVito off the practice squad to back him up, rather than sign a veteran like Matt Barkley — a player they worked out a few weeks ago — who knows Daboll’s offense from their time together with the Buffalo Bills.
That blew up in the second quarter when Taylor was tackled hard on the sideline by Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley and had to be taken to the hospital with an injured rib cage. Daboll actually called for six passes on DeVito’s first nine plays over his first three series. But the kid from nearby Cedar Grove, N.J., was sacked twice, scrambled out of trouble once and went 0 of 3 on three passes that were dangerously off the mark.
After that, it was obvious Daboll didn’t trust DeVito to throw anymore. So in the second half, he called runs on 33 of the Giants’ 34 plays. He tried to explain that by saying: “We were going to run the ball regardless.” But obviously, that wouldn’t have been the case if Taylor had stayed in the game.
“You would think it would be a little different, but we were in a situation where that’s what we were going to do,” Barkley said. “I was made aware of it and I was all for it.”
And Barkley thrived. He had a career-high 36 carries for 128 yards. The Giants pounded away at the Jets’ all-star defense for an impressive 203 rushing yards. They even had a fourth-quarter drive that lasted nearly seven minutes where they almost ran the Jets right out of the game.
But then came crunch time. Daboll didn’t call on Barkley on that fateful fourth and 1. And then in overtime, when the Giants got the ball, he dusted off DeVito’s right arm and let him throw — mostly to Barkley, all on screens, and completely ineffectively — on all three of the Giants’ plays.
Those decisions were odd. The Giants had finally found something that was working offensively. But when they needed it most, they opted to try something else.
“He’s going to do whatever he can to put our team in the best situation,” Barkley said. “We’re going to rock with whatever decision he makes. What would you guys do? The defense is playing lights out. We have a really good kicker. I rock with his call.”
To be fair, Barkley admitted he could have won the game had he gotten the first down one play earlier. The defense could have still sealed the victory too. And Gano took the blame after the game on himself missing what should have been an easy field goal.
But a team like the Giants has almost no margin for error, which is why they need to rely on their coach to make better choices. Like, sign a veteran backup if DeVito is so bad they can’t trust him to put the ball in the air. Or maybe don’t lean heavily on a kicker who reportedly has been getting treatment for weeks on a swollen left leg that may require surgery after the season.
Or in a season where the Giants have lost two quarterbacks, in a game where they also lost tight end Darren Waller to an injured hamstring, maybe the simple answer is to rely on what for now is their most reliable player.
Barkley was doing everything in his power to carry his team to an increasingly rare victory. They should’ve given him a chance to see if he could finish the job.

The hotel is beautiful great location
My husband and I truly understand about the coronavirus it’s safety for everyone and we respect that but we should have been told when we checked in that they were not doing any cleaning and they were not servicing anything and let us make that decision if we wanted to stay there or not . Our room was not cleaned one time . My husband literally had to go chase down a roll of toilet paper. I called and spoke to a woman in house keeping she said that she would have someone to bring up toilet paper ,tissue , towels etc. We were gone for three hours came back still nothing.Once again we realize the epidemic and we were concerned about our safety as well as the associates so please don’t take this the wrong way I’m just saying they need to make the customer aware of that because those rooms are not cheap. I did not pay such a cheap price for those rooms to get like no service in any shape form or fashion very disheartening and I would never stay at Hilton again even after the epidemic is gone just because of the overall customer service.

If you ever find yourself complaining about your construction machinery, think about how hard it must have been 50 or even 100 years ago. Better yet, take the opportunity to see equipment from that time period in action.
At the 21st annual National Convention and Old Equipment Exposition of the Historical Construction Equipment Association, you can see both operating and static exhibits of construction machinery from the early and mid 1900s. The operating exhibits will feature narrated demonstrations of antique tractors, scrapers, shovels, backhoes, graders and rollers, while the static exhibit will have fully restored equipment from both the museum’s collection and HCEA members’ personal inventories. Local tractor and antique truck groups will also participate.
Products of the former Galion Iron Works of Galion, Ohio, which was founded in 1907 and manufactured motor and pull graders, steam and internal combustion rollers, wheeled scrapers and hydraulic cranes, will also be displayed.
Exhibitors and vendors of construction toys, scale models, sales literature and other collectible memorabilia will be on hand, and a fundraising auction to benefit HCEA will be held. Kids will be able to play in a sandbox full of construction toys, and a ladies’ tour of Historic Sauder Village in Archbold, Ohio, will take place during the convention.
The HCEA is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the history of the construction, dredging and surface mining equipment industries for public education. The convention will be held Sept. 15-17 at the National Construction Equipment Museum near Bowling Green, Ohio. Admission is $4 per person per day, with a weekend pass available for $10.

Buckley and Trent Reznor.
Forming in late 2008, the band's young age is deceptive as the three members have played in many well-established groups on the Brisbane scene including 8 Ball Atkin, Sunflower, Rachael Brady, New Manic Spree, Pink Bullet, as well as The Queensland
Orchestra. This experience is evident both musically and through their explosive live performance which so far has claimed 7 innocent lives.
Greenthief’s fusion of electronics is seen during their live show where sampled drumbeats and other effects are run off a laptop. The band’s drummer takes on keyboard duties during performances to help create the more textured song arrangements the band is known for. Greenthief has also been known to incorporate two drum sets live creating a primal sound that is intense, vivid, and hard to ignore.
Greenthief is currently promoting their debut EP – Anicca.

If you have come to Copenhagen for several days and you are already a bit tired of the local sights, then, for a pleasant change, we offer you a trip to one of the best Swedish cities, Malmo, located 35 km from Copenhagen, on the other side of Øresund strait.
Location on the map:
We invite you to go on a trip where you will learn how it happened so that the originally Danish territory of Malmo became Swedish, and what is the province of Skone, where Malmo is situated, and also what the locals feel about themselves (it is well known that 11% of the local population do not consider themselves either Swedes or Danes) and why ancient merchants called this city "Elbow", how the relationship developed between those two countries, and why they fought with each other for over 150 years.
Our trip will start from your hotel. We will rush across one of the most spectacular bridges, which connected Copenhagen and Malmo in 2000. On the way to Sweden you will learn the story of this crossing construction, which was also the subject of an episode for the Discovery channel series "Super Structures”. The Øresund (Sound) crossing is a 4-kilometer tunnel, built on the bottom of the Sound strait, which further comes out on the surface and turns into an artifical 4 km island and then turns into 8-kilometer bridge that in total have the length of about 16 km. Crossing the bridge is adventurous in itself, though not very long. We will soon be in the city of Malmo and our meeting with this welcoming city will start near the medieval fortress of Malmøhus – one of the oldest Renaissance castles.
Here we will learn about the history of Malmo, and will look at one of the local sights – a 190-metre building called Turning torso, which among the residential buildings in Europe yields only to Moscow 264-metre Triumph Palace. During the walk in Malmøhus castle you will hear the story of this place, which was erected in the first half of the 15th century, learn how the building changed transiting from a fortress to a printing house for making coins, and then it was converted into a castle, where the heir Frederik II organized such great parties and feasts that all the nobles of the time dreamt of. You will learn why this place turned into the largest prison in the 19th century and under what circumstances it became a museum.
One of the stops in our tour will be the centre of Malmo, where we will visit the oldest building in the city – Sankt Petri Church built in 1310. Just within a few metres from the church there is the City hall square, where we will see the sculpture of the person who managed to take Malmo from the Danes, and also will walk along the pedestrian street, full of small shops and souvenir stalls. Malmo is famous not only for its architectural monuments but also shopping since prices here are about 20% lower than in Copenhagen.
Walking along small winding streets in central Malmo, we will get to its heart – Gustav Adolfs square, where the symbol of the city – a Griffin wearing a gilded crown – is sitting in the fountain on the top of the globe. Here you will hear the story of one of the Danish kings Erik of Pomerania, who, by the way, built Malmøhus, and also the story of how he presented the symbol of griffin to Malmo.
Our final stop will be in the historic centre of the city in the smaller city square (Lilla torg). You can still see many buildings of the 16th century here. Having walked around this square with numerous cafés and restaurants, we will visit the oldest building, in whose yard you will be able to feel the spirit of the medieval Sweden. Then we are to take a boat trip along various canals of Malmo and will enjoy the views of this wonderful city from water. At last, we will visit a place called ”Air Fortress”, overlooking the bridge, crossing the Sound strait in 2000, that linked Danish Copenhagen and Swedish Malmo.
During the tour to Malmo you will see:
Øresund bridge, Malmohus castle, new residence area Vastra Hamnen and skyscraper Turning torso, Vastra Hamnen waterfront area, Central train station and Royal waiting rooms, new city Square, Old posthouse building, Malmo universitet, Spectrum monument, Old Exchange building, Bagels square and port authority building, Malmo live concert hall and the "singing bridge", Franz Suell statue, Korkehus - the house of Malmo's previous Governor and the owner of the mint, House with the ghosts, City hall square, Gustav Adolfs residence, who was one of the most controversial swedish kings, City hall, Karl Gustavs statue, Sankt Petri Church, the Tech house and the oldest pharmacy of 18th century, Optimists orchestra statue, pedestrian street, Market Square of 16th century (Lilla torget), medieval architecture in the old part of Malmo, the symbol of Malmo - Griffin and "Luftkastellet" - the best observation point over the Øresund bridge.
Tour length: 5 hours
1 - 3 people 550 euro
4 - 7 people 550 euro plus minibus rental (around 200 euro)
8 - 15 people upon request.
The price includes: car rent and Copenhagen – Malmo – Copenhagen transfer, paid bridge two-way crossing, entrance tickets to Malmøhus castle, 5-hour guide’s services. Food and drinks are not included as well as tickets to the boat trip (16 euro per person).
Specific features of the tour: This is a unique tour, during which you will visit the most interesting places in the city of Malmo, and will also learn lots of exciting history facts. Therefore, during your trip to Denmark you will see another Scandinavian country – Sweden and thus will have a better image of Scandinavia. We will learn about the development of relations between these two countries and will enjoy the colouring of the medieval Sweden by visiting buildings dating back to the 14th – 16th centuries.

Jersey & Guernsey Disclosure Facilities : Initial Thoughts
The UK Government has signed a memorandum of understanding with Jersey and Guernsey in relation to co-operation with tax matters.
The Jersey Disclosure Facility (JDF) and the Guernsey Disclosure Facility (GDF) were signed in March 2013 and they follow hot on the heels of the Manx Disclosure Facility (MDF), which was signed with the Isle of Man Administration on 19 February 2013.
A comparison of the JDF and GDF with the Isle of Man Facility reveals that the terms of all three facilities are the same. Please read our analysis of the Isle of Man Disclosure Facility also on this blog for more detail on the terms http://pdtaxconsultants.wordpress.com/2013/05/02/the-isle-of-man-manx-disclosure-facility-initial-thoughts/.
The key for the UK government is that the deals for the three facilities all allow for an information sharing operation from 2016. Thus Financial Intermediaries of the three territories will be required to provide the UK government with details regarding financial assets that UK residents hold there from 2016 on an automatic basis.
Every taxpayer’s situation has differing facts and will need to take specific advice. However, initial views are that the Liechtenstein Disclosure Facility (LDF) provides better terms in general; for the following reasons:-
– The LDF offers guaranteed immunity from criminal prosecution; the JDF, GDF and MDF do not
– Money can be moved to Liechtenstein at any point up to 5 April 2016 in order to benefit from its terms; assets must be moved to Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man much sooner (ie prior to 31 December 2013) in order to benefit from these facilities
– The LDF, GDF and MDF require payments on account up front of tax liabilities as part of the process. The LDF does not demand such a payment on account.
Notification has already been given by the UK Government of deals with other further flung territories and we will report back on these in due course.

Renault Kadjar range adjusted with auto box and 2WD diesel
Having amassed respectable sales and favourable reviews since its official unveiling in April, Renault South Africa has boosted its Kadjar range with the addition of an automatic gearbox on petrol models, and an entry level two-wheel drive turbodiesel.
Limited to the range topping Dynamique, the petrol again makes use of the same 1.2-litre TCe (Turbo Control Efficiency) engine used in the Clio and Captur, but with a seven-speed EDC dual-clutch box sending the 96 kW and 205 N.m of torque to the front wheels.
Standard spec remains unchanged from the manual with Renault claiming a top speed of 189 km/h and 0-100 km/h sprint of 11.0 secs. Combined fuel consumption improves by 0.2 L/100 km over the manual to 5.5 L/100 km with emissions dropping from 127 g/km to 123 g/km.
Slotting in below the flagship four-wheel drive 1.6 dCi, the new base diesel uses Renault’s proven 1.5 dCi engine, which makes 81 kW and 260 N.m of torque when teamed with the standard six-speed manual box or 250 N.m with the optional six-speed EDC.
Top speed is a claimed 180 km/h for the manual and 179 km/h for the EDC with the 0-100 km/h sprint taking 12.2 and 12.0 secs respectively. Fuel consumption is rated at 4.6 L/100 km and 4.7 L/100 km and emissions at 120 g/km and 124 g/km.
A five year / 150 000 km warranty and five year / 90 000 km service plan is standard on all models.

The national unemployment rate inched up to 8.21% in the week ended 26 July as against 7.94% in the week to 19 July and 7.44% in the week to 12 July
Urban unemployment rate dropped marginally to 9.78% from 9.92% during the same time period
NEW DELHI: India's rural unemployment rate rose for the second consecutive week as agricultural activity slowed down, reducing the sector's capacity to absorb labour, and as parts of India observed fresh lockdowns.
The rural unemployment rate climbed to 7.66% in week ended 26 July as against 7.1% reported in the week to 19 July, according to data from the Center of Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE). Though this is still lower than the immediate week preceding the lockdown, it is much higher than the week ended 15 March (6.07%) when India was in a fairly better position and the covid-19 pandemic had not spread as much.
The national unemployment rate too inched up to 8.21% in the week ended 26 July as against 7.94% in the week to 19 July and 7.44% in the week to 12 July.
The urban unemployment rate dropped marginally to 9.78% from 9.92% during the same time period, CMIE data showed. In a way, this is also the highest job loss rate in three weeks.
Economists and experts said unlike June, July will not see a good recovery in replacement jobs and fresh job creation will take time. They said, besides the summer crop sowing season drawing to a close, the spike in coronavirus cases in rural India has impacted the employment scenario.
“The sowing season that started largely in June is coming to an end by end of July. This means people who were in agricultural activities during the sowing season are largely not there. A labour rural economy and less work in farming fields means more people are jobless and at home. This is a huge challenge and this may push people to come to cities again," said Arup Mitra, a professor of economics at institute of Economic Growth in New Delhi.
Mitra said along with the reduced demand in the field, rural India is observing a high growth in covid-19 infections. “Look at West Bengal, Assam, Bihar, parts of Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and many other states…you get two trends growth in coronavirus infections and lockdown in parts. This has a direct bearing on self-employment avenues in rural India. I see this to be trend at least in the near future and influence the employment environment there," he said, adding the rural job absorption in recent months “were not decent jobs but distressed employment in informal sector".
Experts said urban India will see a marginal recovery as cities like Delhi and Mumbai are showing positive progress to some extent but it will take time for formal jobs to return. “First the replacement jobs will come, then self-employment avenues and then fresh job creation once the demand in the market picks up. It’s a medium to long term process," added K.R. Shyamsundar, labour economist and professor at XLRI, Jamshedpur.
True to economists view, CMIE data for urban unemployment showed that it has marginally dropped to 9.43% in the week to 26 July as against 9.78% in the previous week. Despite the fall, it is still higher than both rural and overall unemployment rate.

2014 Annual Science Report
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Reporting | SEP 2013 – DEC 2014
Long-Term Variation of High Energy Activity of Young Stars in Mass Accretion Outburst and Quiescence
High-energy photons in the young stellar environment are known to stimulate chemical reactions of molecules, producing prebiotic materials that might later be incorporated into comets and through them into young planets. Observational tests are sorely needed to assess the significance of such processing for Astrobiology, and to guide development of theoretical models for chemical evolution in protoplanetary environments.
In this reporting period, we requested a Swift Target-of-Opportunity (ToO) observation to monitor long-term X-ray variations of the protostar V1647 Ori that currently experiences strong mass accretion. The observation was approved and performed in 2015 January. We also set up coordinated optical/near-infrared (IR) observations of the star with ground-based observatories.
We triggered a Target-of-Opportunity (ToO) observation of the erupting protostar V1647 Ori with the Swift observatory to monitor its recent X-ray activity. The X-ray observations of this star in 2010 and 2013, performed with the XMM-Newton and Swift X-ray observatories, detected a drop in the X-ray flux by an order of magnitude from observations taken earlier in the eruption. The new Swift observation was performed in 2015 January, and was coordinated with optical observations at Kitt Peak and the Japanese observatory network. During this observation, the protostar showed a low X-ray flux similar to the observations in 2010 and 2013, confirming the end of the X-ray eruption. The optical/near-infrared fluxes remained high (i.e., at the level of the eruption), suggesting that the mass accretion activity still continued. Since the optical/near-infrared emission is a direct indicator of the mass accretion activity, an mechanism other than mass accretion must play a role in the X-ray production.
