Miller Solid; PNW Softball Splits GLIAC Doubleheader With Ashland
Ashland, Ohio – Senior Samme Miller (North Salem, Ind./St. Joseph’s College/Tri-West) went a combined 5-for-6 at the plate and racked up two doubles, a homer, two runs scored and three RBI as the Purdue Northwest softball team split a Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) doubleheader with Ashland University (Ohio) Saturday afternoon at Brookside Park in Ashland, Ohio. The Pride got off to a hot start winning the first game, 9-4; but the offense could not sustain its momentum in game two dropping the nightcap, 8-1.
Senior Kyleigh Payne (Bourbonnais, Ill./Kankakee CC/Bishop McNamara) got the opener off to a fast start with a home run to left field in the game’s opening at-bat. Sophomore Taylor Mendenhall (Brownsburg, Ind./St. Joseph’s College/Brownsburg) added a RBI single to right centerfield in the frame to give PNW the early 2-0 lead. The Eagles took a 3-2 edge in the bottom of the second plating three on a two-run double and a RBI single.
However, junior Zoee Anderson (Lafayette, Ind./St. Joseph’s College/Lafayette Jefferson) crushed a solo homer to left centerfield and Miller hit a RBI double down the left field line in the top of the fifth to put the Pride back in front, 4-3. AU tied the game at 4-4 in the bottom half of the fifth with a RBI double, but a two-run homer to centerfield by junior Tessa Steffens (Litchfield, Ill./Litchfield) sparked a five-run frame for Purdue Northwest in the top of the sixth to put the Black & Gold up for good.
Junior Taylor Kotzo (Munster, Ind./Munster) had a RBI double to left centerfield and Miller had a solo homer to left field as well in the sixth. Freshman Samantha Burgard (Crystal Lake, Ill./Crystal Lake South) got the victory (4-2) in the circle for the Pride. She pitched all seven innings and allowed 11 hits, four runs (all earned) and two walks with three strikeouts.
Things looked promising for PNW in game two as Miller hit a RBI double to left centerfield in the top of the first inning to make it, 1-0. Unfortunately, Ashland answered with a two-run homer in the bottom of the first and proceeded to score six more unanswered runs over the next five innings to pull away for the 8-1 win. Junior Mia Stevens (Rensselaer, Ind./South Suburban CC/Kankakee Valley) took the loss (7-3) pitching the first three innings and allowing six hits, four runs (all earned) and no walks.
Purdue Northwest (17-12 overall/7-5 GLIAC) continues conference play on Saturday, April 7, with a home doubleheader against Grand Valley State University (Mich.). The first game of the pair is scheduled for a 1 p.m. start at Dowling Park.

Necessity proved to be the mother of Michigan coach Red Berenson’s defensive pairings invention when he put interim captain Chris Summers and freshman Brandon Burlon together on the blue line for the Wolverines nearly two months ago.
The two defenders were thrown together after Michigan lost senior defenseman Mark Mitera to a knee injury, necessitating the move of Summers to defense from the forward position he had adopted at the seasons’ start.
The defensive duo rewarded their coach with an offensive flurry early in Michigan’s 5-1 victory over Miami at Yost Arena on Saturday.
In their seventh game together as the Wolverines’ top pairing, each scored an early goal as No. 10 Michigan held on to snare an important CCHA victory from the No. 6 RedHawks. The win pulled Michigan to within seven points of Miami in the conference standings. The Wolverines maintain two games in hand on the RedHawks in the standings chase.
“We obviously got off to a good start,” said Berenson. “We got some bounces around the net. We got the puck luck. We got the breaks. Miami’s a real good team and they got all the bounces against them. I’m sure they’ll bounce back tomorrow night with an even stronger effort.
“They’re getting a lot of confidence. Certainly, Summers has been our anchor on defense. Now, he’s playing with a young freshman (Burlon) and bringing him along. I thought for the most part, they were effective offensively. They’re giving us a defense pair that we have a lot of confidence in.”
Summers accepted the victory grudgingly.
“To be honest, we got the puck luck early in the game and maybe only got eight shots in the second two periods,” said Summers. “We’re going to have to be a better team tomorrow. This is a step in the right direction.
“I think we play well together,” offered Summers about Burlon. “We’ve been practicing for the past couple months together. I think the most important thing is line of communication between Burlon and I. That’s really evident in the games. He likes to handle the puck and I like to skate a little bit more.”
Burlon was quick to credit Summers’ contribution to his quick adaptation to college hockey.
“Chris has done a great job of taking me under his wing, showing me the ins and outs and complimenting me when I play well,” said Burlon. “Chris has come in as a junior, assumed the role of captain and he’s doing a great job.”
The Wolverines stormed out of the gate with three goals in the first five minutes of the opening period and added another in the period’s waning seconds.
Just 28 seconds into the contest, Aaron Palushaj circled behind the Miami net, centering a pass to Summers, who was breaking in off the right point. Summers’ shot deflected high in the air to Miami goaltender Chris Reichard’s right. Summers circled the net himself after the shot and flipped a backhand past Reichard when the puck finally landed from his initial shot.
Burlon took his offensive turn three minutes later on a power play. The Toronto-native freshman wristed a shot from the right circle that first caromed off Reichard straight to the right skate of Miami defenseman Will Weber. The puck bounced directly off Weber’s skate into the net behind Reichard at 3:15.
Initiating another scoring play, Burlon drove the puck from the left point. The rebound came out to Brandon Naurato, whose initial shot was blocked by a Miami defender. Naurato potted that rebound at 4:51 to extend the Wolverines’ lead to three. Miami coach Enrico Blasi pulled netminder Reichard in favor of Connor Knapp as a result of the third Wolverines’ tally.
With only ten seconds left in the period, Matt Rust parlayed a short-handed faceoff into the fourth Michigan goal of the period. Just back from the World Junior Championship in Ottawa, Rust shot the draw toward the RedHawk goal. Carl Hagelin fought through traffic in front of the net and banged the puck by Knapp to stretch the Michigan lead to 4-0 at 19:52.
Miami gained a measure of momentum reversal with the second period’s only goal, as well as some timely penalty killing.
While on a power play, Justin Mercier broke from the right corner toward the Wolverines’ net. A sliding Trent Vogelhuber swept Mercier’s pass through the slot by Michigan netminder Bryan Hogan for his first career goal at 9:27, cutting the Michigan lead to three.
Michigan’s Brian Lebler added the only goal of the third period directly off a faceoff at 5:51 to close the scoring.
Michigan (14-7-0, 8-5-0 CCHA) and Miami (12-6-3, 10-3-2-1 CCHA) complete their two-game weekend set late Sunday afternoon with the makeup of Friday night’s game, postponed due to storm damage to Yost Arena’s outer brick structure.

My daughter is 6 1/2 months old and I am still bleeding since having her.
I had an emergency Caesar after 20 hour labour and suffered a nearly 4 litre PPH and had to have a balloon inserted to save my life and then had it taken out the following day. I had 8 transfusions and spent 4 days in icu. Thankfully she was fine.
However I still haven't stopped bleeding, not one day. Having a D & C this week and an IUD inserted in the hope it will help.
She was my second baby. First was also Caesar and I stopped bleeding after 12 weeks. They are 16 months apart.
Has anyone else had similar problems? I am terrified to go back to theatre next week but so over the bleeding. I am so tired now and back on iron. Just want it to be over.

Recently, the North Koreans tested two ballistic missiles. Not much information is known about these weapons. However, it is known that the test of the first Ballistic Missile failed while the test of the second missile is still being evaluated for success. It is believed that the weapons have a range of 3,000 km or 1800 miles. This range is enough to hit South Korea, Japan, and Guam. More information about North Korea and their nuclear weapons program can be found at BBC.

In the UK, solicitors continue to be in better health than the general population and the average number of sick days they take has fallen. However, most solicitors continue to work under moderate stress. The UK Law Society has published research on the health and wellbeing of solicitors.
Law Society president Jonathan Smithers said:
‘Law can be a demanding career. Many of us are drawn to the intellectual challenge and thrive on the high pressure the work entails, but we should also consider our own health and wellbeing.
‘The number of solicitors going to work when they should be taking sick leave to get better has fallen, but many still go to work when they are unwell.
‘Solicitors experiencing stress or other sickness at work should speak to colleagues or their line manager about it. The Law Society has a free helpline that offers confidential support for all our members. We also provide a range of resources to support good practice management.’
The main findings of the survey are:
Good health: 85 per cent of solicitors reported being in good health, a slight fall from 88 per cent in 2013 but still four percentage points above figures for the working population nationally.
Sick days: On average, those taking time off due to ill-health or injury took 5.7 days, a fall from 6.6 days in 2013.
Work ethic: 39 per cent of solicitors reported going to work when sick leave should have been taken, a fall from 45 per cent in 2013.
Stress levels: 96 per cent of solicitors said they experienced negative stress, with 19 per cent at ‘severe’ or ‘extreme’ levels, a slight increase from 16 per cent in 2013. Workload and client expectations were identified as the most common causes of stress in the Law Society’s 2013 research.
LawCare chief executive Elizabeth Rimmer said:
‘LawCare is here to help anyone working in the legal community who may be finding the demands of law tough. Our website offers a range of practical information about wellbeing and we provide a free and completely confidential helpline for anyone who needs a listening ear about personal or professional problems. Everyone answering the phone has worked in the law and understands the day-to-day pressures lawyers face.
‘Lawyers are used to solving other people’s problems and often find it hard to admit that they are not coping with the demands of work and may be worried that not coping may be seen as a weakness by colleagues. This shouldn’t be the case. It can be very cathartic to talk to someone about how you are feeling. Many people who call our helpline say that the chat on the helpline has really helped them to feel better and put things in perspective.’

The modern yurt has evolved from its origins with the nomadic Central Asian tribes; both the Mongolian Ger and the Turkic Uy are forerunners of what we now call the yurt. The modern fabric yurt is like its nomadic predecessor in most ways, except that canvas or synthetic fabric replaces the felted wool exterior. Many of the new yurts have a central plastic dome skylight and windows that let in lots of light, making them much more open and airy than the darker, womb-like nomadic yurts.
The form and structure of the portable yurt is simple, light-weight, strong, and ingenious. Typically a circular lattice framework creates the walls, and poles radiating from the top center ring slope down to connect with the walls. The key to keeping this shape stable is a cable that girds the ends of the poles where they meet the walls, and this holds the roof under tension.
Portable fabric yurt kits are available in many colors and come with a variety of custom options from companies across North America. These yurts are affordable (costing about the price of a new car) and can usually be set up in one day after the platform is built. Hard-shelled, more permanent yurts are also available and these can withstand more severe weather. Most amenities available in conventional homes can be found in both the fabric and hard-shelled yurts.

Brushing your teeth regularly could slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease after scientists found that gum disease speeds up mental decline by six times.Periodontitis, or gum disease, is common in older people and can get worse in old age as people struggle to maintain their oral hygiene. It is thought that periodontal bacteria increase levels of inflammation in the body, which has been linked to greater mental decline in people with Alzheimer’s disease. A new study by King’s College London and the University of Southampton followed 59 people with mild to moderate dementia for six months, monitoring the state of their gums.
“There would be big alarm bells for me, because when I’ve seen inconsistencies like that in the past they’ve been on really shoddily made forgeries,” Charlie Winter, a researcher at Georgia State University, told AFP. “With something as important as this, it’s important to look at it with as suspicious, discerning and cynical an eye as possible,” he added. Fake IS group documents have been circulated and distributed to media outlets several times over the past few years. A December 2015 document that purportedly called on IS group fighters to abandon the Iraqi city of Fallujah was tweeted by Colonel Steve Warren, spokesman for the US-led campaign in Iraq, before it was revealed to be a fake. “Many people on the border between Syria and Turkey are trying to sell almost anything with black flags, fake stamps of the Islamic State group and logos,” Nasr said. “Many journalists, including me, have confronted this reality.” In an interview with the Washington Post in December 2015, British analyst Aymenn Jawad al-Tamimi noted that, “The fakes that have been circulated are largely poor in quality. The forgers seem to be ignorant of Islamic State labeling, there are recurring motifs, and we see some clear attempts to take jabs at certain actors perceived to be backing the Islamic State.”
Donald Trump is dangerous for America. But what does the US media do? Continue to give him a platform to spread his hate. These people are wicked beyond description. If a black Presidential candidate was saying the things Trump says and had violence to break out, he/she would have BEEN shut down. But #whiteprivilege.
On Sunday 6 March, the Education Ministry – specifically the department responsible for secondary education – sent a message to all secondary school heads demanding that the contents of messages sent by teachers and students in WhatsApp groups be examined. The Ministry threatened to take legal action against anyone found to have sent messages that “insult authorities.” These are the kind of bombastic expressions the authorities have used over recent years to target political activists, opponents and critics. This announcement came just days after a landmark speech by Hayat Abdel Majid, the head of the sector targeting electronic crime at the Ministry of Interior’s Department for anti-corruption and economic and electronic security. In this speech, Abdel Majid said that the administrator of any WhatsApp group would be responsible and legally culpable for any defamatory news, rumours or inaccurate information circulated in that group. She also stated that members of a group could be held responsible for its content. She announced that the punishment could extend to a period of two years in prison and a fine of 200 Bahraini dinars, or one of these, in accordance with Article 168 of the law governing the spreading of defamatory information. The Ministry of Interior had previously announced, on 7 February 2016, the arrest of a group of people who had participated in the “al-Busta” WhatsApp group. The Ministry confirmed that they were supported by foreign powers in connection with terrorist activities within Bahrain. A number of people were also arrested over allegedly insulting statements about the authorities that they shared on WhatsApp. AbdAli Khair is still serving a 10-year prison sentence for forwarding a WhatsApp message.

Objective: Primary hyperparathyroidism is most often caused by a sporadic single-gland parathyroid adenoma (PTA), a tumor type for which cyclin D1 is the only known and experimentally validated oncoprotein. However, the molecular origins of its frequent overexpression have remained mostly elusive. In this study, we explored a potential tumorigenic mechanism that could increase cyclin D1 stability through a defect in molecules responsible for its degradation.
Methods: We examined two tumor suppressor genes known to modulate cyclin D1 ubiquitination, PRKN and FBX4, for evidence of classic two-hit tumor suppressor inactivation within a cohort of 82 PTA cases. We examined the cohort for intragenic inactivating and splice site mutations by Sanger sequencing and for locus-associated loss of heterozygosity (LOH) by microsatellite analysis.
Results: We identified no evidence of bi-allelic tumor suppressor inactivation of PRKN or FBX4 via inactivating mutation or splice site perturbation, neither in combination with nor independent of LOH. Among the 82 cases, we encountered previously documented benign single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 35 tumors at frequencies similar to those reported in the germlines of the general population. Eight cases exhibited intragenic LOH at the PRKN locus, in some cases extending to cover at least an additional 1.7Mb of chromosome 6q25-26. FBX4 was not affected by LOH.
Conclusion: The absence of evidence for specific bi-allelic inactivation in PRKN and FBX4 in this sizeable cohort suggests that these genes only rarely, if ever, serve as classic driver tumor suppressors responsible for the growth of PTAs.

Lindum has started work on 12 new environmentally-friendly council homes in Sleaford.
The properties are being built on behalf of North Kesteven District Council on land near its car park in Grantham Road.
Excavations have begun to allow access for more services on site and existing concrete has been crushed ready for re-use.
The council car park will remain open throughout the construction period and signage has been installed to ensure safe access to and from vehicles while the work is taking place.
Lindum contracts manager Paul Jenkinson said the site used to be home to a fertiliser factory many years ago.
“We started by removing the old concrete, which was crushed onsite and is now being recycled as hardcore for the new roads and paths,” he said.
“We are also building the homes to the Fabric First standard, which means they will be more environmentally friendly. They will be super insulated and have triple glazed windows, which will ultimately make them cheaper to live in too.
“We expect the project to take about 44 weeks in total so we should finish the work in February next year. At the moment we are constructing the roads and the actual houses will begin to take shape in the middle of July.
“Once complete, the homes will be offered to people on the council house waiting list.”
The site is owned by North Kesteven District Council, and Leader of the Council Cllr Richard Wright said: “There have been challenges for us to overcome in developing this site because of its previous uses and the general difficulties caused by the pandemic.
“However, we are now moving forward nicely and by February next year we will have six three-bedroomed semi-detatched houses, four one-bedroomed semi-detached houses and two two-bedroomed detached bungalows on the site which will be wonderful homes for us to make available in Sleaford.”

Nov 24, 2016; Kissimmee, FL, USA; Gonzaga Bulldogs head coach Mark Few calls a play against the Quinnipiac Bobcats during the first half at HP Field House. Mandatory Credit: Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports
ORLANDO — Heading into the holiday weekend, this is exactly what we were all hoping for.
No. 21 Iowa State (5-0) vs. No. 11 Gonzaga (5-0): Sunday at 12:30 (CT) on ESPN with Dick Vitale on the call.
Boom. Let’s go. This is a great early season opportunity for the Cyclones.
I’ve got to admit: Late Friday night, I was intensely pulling for Gonzaga to beat Florida in the other half of the Advocare Invitational semi-finals. It’s nothing against Florida. In fact, I think the Gators have proven to everyone down here that they are a legitimate top-25 team.
But this is about Iowa State’s resume and the prospect of playing a top-15 team in November was too exciting to not cheer for. In a year where Iowa State’s non-conference schedule isn’t exactly stacked, getting this game on the docket is big for the RPI and even if the Cyclones drop one on Sunday, Gonzaga, the WCC’s preseason championship pick for the 16th season in a row, is a better loss than Florida.
It’s a better win too.
Let’s take a closer look at the Bulldogs.
Five things to know
Two loaded backcourts
It will be an absolute treat for basketball fans to watch Iowa State and Gonzaga’s backcourts match up. Both guard corps are deep and loaded.
We all know about Iowa State.
Gonzaga’s Josh Perkins was named to the Preseason West Coast Conference team while Jordan Mathews was one of 20 candidates for the 2017 Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year Award.
Perkins, a 6-foot-3 sophomore, leads the Zags in scoring at 12.3 points per game this season. Mathews, a 6-foot-4 senior, is sixth on the team in scoring but has made 46 percent of his 3-pointers on the year.
Gonzaga guard has ISU connections
Washington transfer Nigel Williams-Goss has made a huge impact on this team early on and he has a couple of Iowa State connections too.
Williams-Goss, a Wooden Award Preseason Top 50 candidate, played at the same prep school (Findlay out of Las Vegas) as Naz Mitrou-Long. The two go way back.
Williams-Goss was recruited to Washington by former Iowa State assistant coach T.J. Otzelberger – the same man who brought Mitrou-Long to Ames.
Williams-Goss is averaging 11.8 points for the Zags to go with 6.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists per contest.
He’s a stud.
How effective will Gonzaga’s 7-foot-1 center be?
Gonzaga’s wildcard in this matchup is a 7-foot-1 center named Przemek Karnowski. The three-time preseason All-WCC selection is listed at 300 pounds and leads Gonzaga in rebounding at 6.8 per game.
Defensively, Karnowski will no doubt be an issue for the Cyclones. He will see double teams early and often.
But what about on the other end of the floor?
Expect Iowa State to run – a lot – and attempt to take advantage of mismatches down low. Point: It works both ways and Karnowski has to be able to guard Iowa State’s versatile posts too.
Karnowski’s partner in the frontcourt, an athletic 6-foot-9 junior Jonathan Williams, averages 11.8 and 5.2.
A little bit about Mark Few…
College basketball is a sport where coaches are the superstars and Iowa State fans will be lucky enough to see two of the all-time greats at the mid-major ranks this weekend in Orlando.
Jim Larranaga, who once led George Mason to a final four, coached Miami, who Iowa State handled on Friday.
Up next is Mark Few, who has strung together one of the most dominating runs in college basketball history. Gonzaga has won or shared 15 West Coast Conference regular season titles in his 17 seasons at the school. Gonzaga has gone to the Sweet 16 or better six times since the year 2000.
Entering this season, Few’s winning percentage as a head coach was .808 – the highest mark among current coaches in college basketball.
KenPom likes the Zags…barely
KenPom.com’s index is projecting a 79-78 Gonzaga victory. For what it’s worth, KenPom also projected a three-point Miami victory over the Cyclones.
Most importantly, Iowa State is currently ranked 30th in KenPom’s adjusted defense rankings. It’s still obviously very early in the season, but that’s an encouraging start. Meanwhile, the Cyclones rank 29th in adjusted offense.

This paper presents a new adaptive controller for image-based tracking of a robot manipulator without using visual velocity when the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the camera are not calibrated. Most of existing controllers require the measurement of the visual velocity, which is subject to big noises in general due to low sampling rates of the vision loop. To avoid performance decaying caused by measurement errors of the visual velocity we propose a new image-based tracking controller based on the proposal of an estimator of visual velocity. With a full consideration of dynamic responses of the robot manipulator, we proved the convergence of the image errors of the trajectory to zero and the convergence of the estimated parameters to the real values up to a scale by the Lyapunov method. Experiments have been conducted to demonstrate good convergence of the trajectory errors under the control of the proposed method.

Kate Winslet on Divorce and Parenting: 'It's Unconventional Now'
Stunning actress Kate Winslet is on the cover of the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar, and she's more graceful and comfortable with herself than ever.
In the candid interview with the fashion mag, Winslet discusses being twice divorced and her modern role as a parent to her two kids, Mia, 11, and Joe, 7.
Kate's first marriage was to Jim Threapleton, which yielded daughter Mia Honey. The couple split in 2001.
The "Contagion" star wed director Sam Mendes in 2003 before ending the relationship in March of last year, and revealed, "It is what it is. We're grown-ups at the end of the day, and however hard it's been for me, it's been equally hard for him. And we have a child [Joe] together who we both love -- and raising him together, jointly and without any conflict, is absolutely key."
Kate added, "Those days of every child having a mummy and daddy who lived at home -- Daddy went to work, and Mummy stayed at home and took care of everyone -- those days have almost gone, and it's so much more unconventional now."
The Oscar-winning beauty will star alongside Emma Stone in "Movie 43" next year. The November issue of Harper's Bazzar is on newsstands October 6.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Firstly, We have the specialist team who have tremendous experience in Dual Diagnosis Treatment in Punjab. Moreover, At this stage, the patient is suffering from Mental illness, Sickness, co morbid substance Abuse problem. So, It also causes Depression and great dependency of Drug. In some cases, we need to hospitalize the patients.
Dual Diagnosis treatment is a new innovation in the field of addiction recovery. Until the 1990s, people who were experiencing symptoms of a mental health disorder — anxiety attacks, depressive episodes, delusional behavior or mood swings — treated separately from those who sought help for drug or alcohol abuse.
When these conditions crossover, clients were often denied treatment for a mental illness until they got clean and sober. Unfortunately, because substance abuse often drives by an underlying Mental disorder, this meant that many people with a Dual Diagnosis of addiction and a mental disorder never got the help they need.
What’s Different About Dual Diagnosis Treatment?
In the modern era, Dual Diagnosis recovery blends the most successful aspects of mental health care and substance abuse treatment.
Instead of drawing a hard line between psychiatric health and addiction, these areas treat as part of a continuum. Clinicians who work in this treatment can now get training and credentials in the treatment of co-occurring mental health disorders. So, Dedicated rehab facilities offer recovery services that are personalized for clients.
If you meet the diagnostic criteria for a mental health disorder (depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, a personality disorder, etc.) and for an addictive disorder (alcoholism, drug addiction, gambling addiction, or another behavioral addiction), you may be classified as a client when you enter treatment. Effective treatment for a DD involves considering both your addiction and your mental illness as you go through the recovery process.

Wiltshire Council: Dan Wilden is pleased to have secured a consent to allow the use of an agricultural field to be used as a dog day care facility incorporating a new access, fencing and movable shelter.
These types of facilities are becoming popular and often open up without first seeking planning permission for a change of use and run into enforcement difficulties with the Council. Our client wanted to get the consent first to avoid such difficulties.
A major issue in the course of the application was that the existing field access, which was proposed to be used, turned out to be unauthorised. Thus the Council had to consider the access as if it were a brand new proposal. But the access is onto the A347 part of the Primary Route Network where new accesses are not usually permitted. After some negotiation we were able to pursuade the highways officer to allow a new access provided it was relocated on the frontage to provide the best visibility and the use was strictly limited by planning condition.
If you are thinking about putting some of your farmland to an alternative use, why not speak to one of our planning consultants to find out if you need planning consent and what the chances are of achieving it?

For the second time in a year, 1871 is busting at the seams. The not-for-profit incubator for tech startups, launched three years ago with help from a state grant, is again seeking public funding to offset construction costs as it plans to add 50 percent more space.
That isn't sitting well with some operators of privately run co-working spaces.
“We shouldn't use state money that way,” says Bill Bennett, CEO of Chicago-based Level Office, which operates 85,000 square feet of co-working and office space in three locations in the city. “1871 is a good thing, doing a nice job, as is WeWork, Level Office and Industrious (other co-working spaces). It doesn't make sense to me why we should use taxpayer funds to subsidize one place.”
Related: State grants tilt playing field against 1871's workspace rivals
But 1871 CEO Howard Tullman says the additional space is needed for some of the 350 companies that are outgrowing the incubator space. “They have an interest in remaining connected to the community here," he says. "And what we want to make sure, before they go off on their own, is that they can be sustainable, viable businesses.”

Hi All! Just finished painting a commission for Space Hulk Tyranids. They are painted in a black and white colour scheme with a bit of colour added by the help of Ultramarine helmets.
Those models are super good looking, the poses are great and the bases are very scenic. The only downfall is a lack of detail on the helmets and some other areas of the models, which makes painting trickier and I was forced to create detail by freehand. So it definitely took longer to paint those as suppose to usual genestealers. What do you guys think?

Cocaine is a highly addictive drug. That means it works in your brain to change the way you think and experience things around you. It also causes dependence, which means your body and brain become unable to function normally without it. That is why cocaine detox is so necessary if you have an addiction. Without it, you may find it very difficult to overcome your addiction. However, at Serenity House Detox & Recovery Florida, we offer resources that can help you begin cocaine recovery.
Is Cocaine Detox Necessary?
You may not need to detox. In some situations, cocaine detox is not necessary because you have not formed a dependency. You may still find yourself craving the use of these drugs, but you may be able to control them without the intensity of detox services. Yet, because of how addictive this drug is, many people will benefit from cocaine detox. That includes people who have symptoms of addiction, such as:
- Previous or high-risk for overdose
- Significant amounts of cocaine used
- Cocaine used frequently or daily
- Long-term use of cocaine
- Trying to stop and failing to do so previously
Another key to consider is withdrawal from your addiction. If you crave cocaine when you are not using it or find yourself experiencing pain or discomfort when you stop using, that’s an indication of addiction. That may mean your body and brain are dependent on the drugs, and cocaine detox may be a necessary treatment component.
Cocaine recovery begins by breaking that dependence. That takes time for your body to process and remove the drugs from it. During this time, your brain and body also have to learn how to recover and function normally. Over some time, cocaine detox helps break through these challenges and gain mental clarity. You’ll be able to tackle the more complex mental health challenges that you have.
Cocaine detox is necessary if you are dependent on drugs and cannot stop using on your own. That’s common. Yet, when you employ the benefits of detox, you start on the path towards healing. It’s worth the hard work necessary.
If you need cocaine detox and you do not get it, you may be at a higher risk for relapse down the road. For those who have a therapist or doctor recommending this as a component to cocaine recovery, it is critical to seek out this help to ensure long-term health.
What Happens in Cocaine Recovery?
When it comes to overcoming addiction, there is more than just cocaine detox to consider. Once you get through the challenges of detox, you’ll work hand-in-hand with professionals who can provide you with insight. We’ll help you understand what may have caused your addiction, such as underlying mental health disorders. You will also learn more about how to overcome the cravings and thoughts of use.
Our team at Serenity House Detox & Recovery Florida offers a range of therapies to support you, including:
- Evidence-based therapy
- Nutrition therapy programs
- Dialectical behavior therapy
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy
- Individual therapy programs
- Group therapy programs
These therapies come during and after cocaine detox. They can provide you with some of the best types of tools available to help you overcome your challenges and start on the path towards healing.
Call Serenity House Detox & Recovery Florida for Help
Cocaine detox is one of the most intense experiences, but it can also be one of the most important. If you are struggling with cocaine addiction or any other drug addiction, take time to get help. The sooner you do, the sooner your cocaine recovery can begin, and you can reclaim your life and future. Let Serenity House Detox & Recovery Florida get you to that point. Call us at 866.294.5306 or connect online for help.

Who is paul walker dating now Chat with dirty locals 100 free
Imaginations have made Paul Walker's indiscretions untouchable.
Though harm perpetrated by others in authority isn't uncommon and comes in all forms.
But for a sandwich spokesperson who got caught having sex with a minor, there is no pass. Yet for some, comparing someone like Jared Fogle to Hollywood actor Paul Walker is unheard of. He recently plead guilty to multiple disturbing charges related to him having sex with minors and owning a massive library of child pornography.
One's a disgusting predator, sentenced to what he deserves. To be clear, Walker was never caught with child pornography, that's where they differ.
The two influential men may have had different ways of finding victims, but what difference does it make what medium used when both chose to exploit power and wealth to get exactly what they wanted from younger girls? Some will point to the fact that what Fogle did is immensely more sadistic because of the nature of his crimes; and if Walker was in fact doing the same thing as Fogle, why was he never brought to the police by friends, peers or girlfriend’s family?
Great question, but regardless of how the two were received by those around them or why their victims chose to stay silent, in the state of California, Walker's transgressions were illegal — both of them.
Yet as anyone now knows, turning a blind eye in Hollywood is also a societal norm, especially when those involved are making other people lots and lots of money.

Three things women should know about the Webster Technique are it is safe, effective and absolutely painless.
Sometimes, when a mom comes in and she’s already in pain or having some discomfort because of the weight gain and the center of gravity shifting to the anterior, it can put a lot of stress on the lumbar spine. The Webster Technique is really great at relaxing some of the structures, the ligaments and the tendons and the muscles, and realigning the vertebrae to actually make pregnancy relatively comfortable. And I’m not going to lie, we get a certain handful of moms that are just very uncomfortable no matter what we do. But a lot of moms report significant relief from the pain and discomfort associated with pregnancy and carrying an extra 20 or 30 pounds.
The Webster Technique is extremely safe. It doesn’t affect the baby. Most moms are really happy because we have these cool tables with the whole abdominal piece that drops out. So, they get to lay face down. Usually, once they get laying on those tables, they want to buy them from me so they can sleep on them. But obviously, they’re not for sale.
The most important thing that I want people to know about the Webster Technique is when it’s applied correctly, we get just about an 80 to 85% success rate with shorter delivery times, less pain, and most importantly, less need for intervention particularly the Pitocin, epidurals, and C-sections. And really, a lot of moms coming to us are just looking to have a more safe, and more natural birth. Some of them are looking to do their birthing at home, but they just want the knowledge and the confidence to know that they did everything they could to make sure that this birth is going to go as smooth as possible.
So again, the top three things about the Webster Technique are it’s safe for the mom and the baby, it’s very effective, and there’s no pain or discomfort. Again, it almost always results in shorter delivery times, less pain, and less need for interventions, like the Pitocin, epidural, and C-sections, which a lot of moms go through. A lot of times, you can actually prevent the need for those things by planning for a proper birth and working with a birth doula or a midwife.
The Webster Technique is really just a wonderful technique that is safe, gentle, and effective. We are honored to bring this technique to New York City.

Project Leader: Élise Féron
This research stream brings together TAPRI researchers interested in the conceptual, methodological and empirical challenges raised by the diversity of contemporary migration and floating political borders. What happens if a national territory hosts multiple populations, or at least populations which may carry multiple allegiances, and thus express multiple and often competing concerns and expectations? How can we transcend methodological nationalism and invent sound and consistent approaches to study groups whose existence is shaped by transnationalism?
The research stream functions as an enabling structure facilitating exchanges between researchers sharing similar research interests. One of the specific axes of research currently developed by the research stream is the study of the perceptions of security and insecurity of migrants, refugees and diaspora groups in Finland, and of the factors affecting those perceptions. From the threat of international terrorism to the threat to indigenous cultural cohesion and traditions, along with the perceived threat of migrant workers reducing employment opportunities for native workers in an age of austerity, migrant, refugee and diaspora groups have been targets of security policies and securitized politically, culturally and psychologically. Their own perceptions of security, however, have been considerably less scrutinized. How do these differ (or are similar to) those of the majority population? What triggers a heightened feeling of insecurity among migrant and diaspora groups? Security policies in the countries of residence? Situation in the country of origin? Or more personal factors such as socio-economic situation, age or gender? And how do these perceptions affect these groups’ capacity to integrate in societies of settlement? These questions warrant an investigation which is all the more urgent in view of the heightened attention surrounding refugee, migrant and diaspora communities and the extent to which they are regarded as being a political, cultural, economic or religious threat to the stability of the host society.
Another research axis concerns ethnically mixed borderland communities caught in a trap of competing national narratives spread from the surrounding states. Living on the “edge” of zone where political interests of states intersect, they intentionally and unintentionally resist the set of norms, rules and conditions imposed by securitization policies of border control. In the situation where communal interaction in borderland region is continually affected by the policies of neighboring and hosting states, the borderlanders may tend to create and alternate their own national narratives in order to ignore the inter-state conflict of political interests and focus on the hundred other things they need in their daily lives. This collective interpretation of social reality allows the borderland communities to construct a creative common strategy of conflict avoidance for the sake of their well-being. To delineate this strategy of behavior that the borderlanders develop to avoid inter-communal conflicts, it is necessary to indicate differences between their national narratives and the ones promoted by rhetoric acts and discourses of politicians, experts and media from the surrounding states. Studying the ways by which borderland populations are able to get the conflict past contribute to comprehending how to prevent penetration of international conflicts into the entire society of the state of their residence and this issue is highly topical due to the transnational nature of contemporary conflicts that increasingly challenges border and state organizations across the globe.
A third research axis focuses on developing methodological tools to better understand conflict generated diasporas. The study of these groups has classically revolved around the question of the transposition of communal fractures (either ethnic, sectarian, religious, or tribal) from the society of origins to the country of adoption. Moving away from such essentialism, TAPRI’s research advocates a micro-sociological approach, taking individuals and small groups as a starting point. The intention is to re-examine the social forces at play among conflict generated diasporas from the perspective of a limited numbers of personal cases to ultimately illuminate if and how communalities eventually resurface and under which forms. In doing so, issues of sectarianism, ethnicity, or tribalism are not the starting point but the conclusion of the analysis, hence avoiding teleological knowledge.

It isn’t new to know a loved one or family member came back from vacation only to find that their home was flooded due to a leaked or burst water pipe, or their home’s basement is full of water due to a rainstorm.
In the end, water can make its way into our homes in many different ways. While water isn’t a nuisance itself, it undoubtedly leaves behind the challenging and time-consuming task of dealing with the damage it causes.
If left unattended, water can spread throughout your house, causing damage to your property by weakening its foundation, causing mold and mildew, and many other health-related issues. Mold and mildew development can start as early as twenty-four hours after the flood.
However, if you were a victim of a natural disaster, how you deal with the damage matters the most. So, with that in mind, let us look at a few immediate steps you should take for handling water damage.
Hire professional water damage repair services
Water damage can occur without any warning. After all, things are usually out of our control in case of a natural disaster or a water pipe bursts out of nowhere.
If you couldn’t take immediate steps to manage and handle water damage left behind by the flood or leaking water pipes, you risk providing mold and bacteria an environment to grow. In this case, the best thing you can do here is to get in touch with your local water damage repair services.
Water damage is a prevalent issue in Texas. But, as challenging as dealing with water damage is, you don’t have to stress yourself out by thinking you’re dealing with it by yourself.
Inspect for mold
The next step to take is to inspect water-damaged materials for mildew and mold growth. As mentioned above, mold and mildew can grow as quickly as twenty-four hours after water damage. So, it is wise to inspect every corner of your home.
If you find mold or mildew growth, you have to proceed with caution as some mold types can be toxic to humans. It would be best to cut out the affected area, wrap it up, and throw it away.
However, for serious mold issues, call in a professional to avoid contamination. And don’t forget that mold and mildew growth can occur in hidden areas like the inside of the walls or insulation.
Dry the water-damaged area
It is vital to rid your home of moisture before it ends up causing severe damage to the people living inside it. For minor water leaks, this might not be a challenging thing to do. For instance, you can place fans in the water-ridden area to circulate airflow and promote drying.
However, renting an industrial dehumidifier will be your best bet to dry out for more significant water leaks on carpets, wood, and other materials. In the end, do your best to purge out moisture from the water-affected areas.
Focus your attention on your ceiling
Due to gravity, ceilings affected by water damage are at a higher risk of sagging and falling on you. So, it would be wise to repair them as soon as possible as it is a disaster waiting to happen.
That said, if your ceiling has suffered damage due to roofing issues, it is vital to find the source of the leak, which might not be near the water stain on your ceiling.
Moreover, ensure that the water damage didn’t cause structural damage to the rafters of beams. If you cannot get to the leak yourself, hiring professional roof repair services is the way to go.
Replace damaged wood
Wood that has developed mildew/mold, rotting wood, and severely warped wood need to be replaced at once. So, rip apart damaged wooden boards and clean beneath them thoroughly to remove remnants of water damage.
That said, if your house contains structural aspects made out of wood, then be careful when replacing them so that your home’s structure isn’t unstable before and after your water damage restoration project.
Replace your drywall
If your home’s drywall has suffered water damage, there is no choice but to replace it. But, before you do that, measure your previous drywall. If it has sagged more than three-eighths of an inch from the baseline measurement, then you must replace the entire drywall sheet.
On the other hand, if it hasn’t sagged that much, just cut the area affected by water damage and replace it with a new one. Moreover, don’t forget to check behind the drywall for signs of water damage.
Chances are the leakage might have gone through the insulation. If that has happened, you need to replace the insulation as well.
Apply new Caulking and new paint
After you’ve replaced every water-damaged material, be it insulation, wood material, or drywall, now is the time for touch-ups a fresh coat of paint. It is also an opportunity for you to caulk and seal the new materials to reduce the chances of future water damage issues.
All you need to do is match the color of the old paint, and you are good to go!
Get in touch with your insurance company
A water damage repair project is by no means inexpensive. There are tons of things involved, from purchasing new materials to hiring professionals services to everything in between. So, paying for it from your pocket will leave a massive hole in your wallet.
But, if you have insurance, now is the time to get in touch with them. In the end, they’ll pay for the bulk of your restoration project, considering the fact the insurance type you’ve signed up for covers the damages.
In the end, no matter the cause of water damage to your home, consider following the steps mentioned above if you want your home to be a safe and secure place for you and your family.
After all, taking preventative measures will lower the chances of catastrophic damages down the line, which will make things a whole lot better for you and your wallet!

Chasing Happiness, a new documentary profiling US music trio the Jonas Brothers, will premiere on Amazon Prime Video in June.
This documents the trio from their childhood in New Jersey, to pop stardom, their breakup, and reuniting for “Sucker” which topped the Billboard Hot 100.
Filled with never-before-seen footage of the brothers’ early days, Chasing Happiness is a moving, personal look at the Jonas Brothers’ journey from a family struggling to make ends meet, to pop superstardom, to an abrupt hiatus that shocked the world. As Nick, Joe, and Kevin separate and try to find their footing as individuals, Chasing Happiness goes beyond the headlines and behind the scenes, as they build their own successful lives and careers outside of the band, and ultimately rebuild their relationships as siblings and rekindle a musical spark that inspires their upcoming album, “Happiness Begins.”
Chasing Happiness is from Philymack and Federal Films in association with Polygram Entertainment and Amazon Studios, with executive producers Phil McIntyre, John Varvatos, Monte Lipman, and Dana Sano and producers Reece Pearson, Steve Ecclesine, and Grant MacDowell. Chasing Happiness is directed by John Lloyd Taylor.
Tuesday, June 4 on Amazon Prime Video.

A Gaussian Process-based Self-Organizing Incremental Neural Network
X. Wang, Giona Casiraghi, Yan Zhang and J. Imura
2019 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN) (2019)
Projects: Data Science
This paper proposes a Gaussian process-based self-organizing incremental neural network (GPINN) to address the density estimation problem of online unsupervised learning. First, we adopt Gaussian process models with adaptive kernels that map the distribution of the neighbors of each node to its link relationship. Second, combining GPINN and kernel density estimation, we derive the bandwidth matrix updating rule for adapting to the generated network. We theoretically analyze the advantages of the proposed approach in determining threshold regions over using distance measures. The experimental results on both synthetic data sets and real-world data sets show that our method achieves remarkable improvement in density estimation accuracy for large noisy data.

Don’t buy a two-door Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
For the 2018 model year, Mercedes-Benz will offer a S450 sedan with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6. It’s not underpowered. 362 horsepower produce a claimed 0-60 miles per hour time of 5.1 seconds.
But sometimes, every now and then, in a handful of remaining instances, Mercedes-Benz evidently believes there is no replacement for displacement. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class coupe and cabriolet?
V8s and V12s only, thank you very much.
Thoroughly revamped for the 2018 model year, the 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class continues to be the technological tour de force you always expect it to be. But the S-Class, in particular the S-Class sans rear doors, is also a horsepower showcase. The “basic” 2018 S560 will utilize a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 463 horsepower.
Yeah, we don’t know what “560” has to do with a 4.0-liter, either. But the time for debating those contradictions with automakers, Mercedes-Benz and others, has sadly passed. 560 does not and will not represent a 5.6-liter engine, but it does represent major league power.Two upgrades are available for the S-Class two-door, pricing for which currently starts at $123,745. The AMG S63 also features a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, but power jumps from the S560’s 463 ponies to 603. The V12-engined S65, also a twin-turbo, adds another 18 horses. As for the sedan, upgrading from six-cylinder power to the V8-engined S560 requires precisely $10,000. That’s $99 for every extra bhp; $68 for every extra lb-ft of torque.
Automotive News reports that Mercedes-Benz’s 2018 S-Class timeline will include cars that go on sale in the first half of 2018, but only briefly, before 2019 models arrive in 2018 Q3. In the meantime, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class continues to be the straw that stirs the full-size luxury segment’s drink.
The S-Class, which includes two-door models that used to operate under the CL-Class banner, is on track for a four-year U.S. sales low of roughly 15,000 sales. But its best-selling direct rival, the BMW 7 Series, generates barely more than half that many sales.

04 December 2012, Sweetcrude, Abuja – Cost-cutting has helped restore Nigeria’s Excess Crude Account, ECA, to about $9 billion in oil savings, or more than double what it was a year ago, Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said on Monday.
Okonjo-Iweala was addressing delegates in Abuja at the annual Nigerian Economic Summit, whose themes include reducing the high cost of governance in Africa’s top oil producer.
Nigeria is Africa’s second biggest economy and its sovereign debt is closely watched by foreign investors, especially since JP Morgan included it in its emerging market index in October. Flush with oil cash, the country has been seen as a relatively safe destination for frontier debt investors, but poor fiscal management has dogged it for decades – something Okonjo-Iweala has made her top priority to fix.
“Before you can even look at the centres of the economy and try to change them and create jobs, you must have macro-economic stability. We have introduced a measure of fiscal discipline, Okonjo-Iweala said.”
“The fact that (forex) reserves are climbing now is not a miracle. It happened because of proper fiscal management. We have about $9 billion in the excess crude account. Last year it was $4 billion, so it’s more than doubled,” she added. The figure is still lower than the $20 billion it had in it in 2007, but this was reduced to $3 billion when Jonathan took office in early 2011, despite a year of record high oil prices.
Some of it would have to be used to pay for the latest round of Nigeria’s costly fuel import subsidies, she said. Economists have cautiously welcomed Nigeria’s improved savings level, but caution that there is nothing in place to stop it being reversed, as in the past.
Accumulation of fiscal savings
“There’s been some modest accumulation of fiscal savings, but put it in context: even $9.6 billion, as we estimate it, is only 3.7 percent of GDP,” said Standard Bank’s Samir Gadio.
The Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) launched this year would in theory help Nigeria better manage its oft squandered oil funds, by putting them out of the reach of its political elites, but powerful state governors who want more money to spend are blocking attempts to transfer the ECA into the fund. “Without the SWF there’s no sustainable basis for savings. The risk is that as we approach elections in 2015, the ECA could be depleted quite rapidly,” said Gadio.
The Finance Minister also faces a showdown in parliament over the government’s latest budget, with some lawmakers saying too much money is being set aside as oil savings when the country needs more spending on things like infrastructure. President Goodluck Jonathan’s 4.93 trillion naira ($31.35 billion) budget plan for 2013 assumes oil prices at $75 a barrel oil prices, but many legislators want this inflated – especially with prices now hovering around $112 a barrel.


Dionex Corporation - Summit LC/MS System
| Year of introduction
Hyphenated Techniques: LC-MS
Mass spectrometer: LC-MS
Do you believe LC-MS is still a complicated and difficult-to-handle technique? This is not the case with the Summit® LC/MS system. The Summit System Wellness technology, automatic calibration of the MS detector, and a self-cleaning ion source allow for continuous routine operation without the need for frequent cleaning or maintenance. The complete system is easy to use, requiring very little setup or tuning to achieve optimum sensitivity. And you no longer have to learn two software packages to operate your LC/MS system. Chromeleon® LC/MS software provides single-software method setup and instrument control, powerful UV and MS data analysis, and fully integrated reporting.
See the "Relates Stories" to the right for additional information about the components of the Summit LC/MS system, including the MSQTM Mass Spectrometric Detector, analytical Summit HPLC System, and Chromeleon Chromatography Management System.
|Little Space Required|
Have more space in your laboratory with modern compact instruments. A complete Summit LC/MS system is less than 80 cm (31 in.) wide, and is by far the most compact LC/MS system on the market today. The integrated design of the MSQ TM detector has led to an approximate twofold decrease in footprint area and system volume compared to previous MS systems, with no compromise in system performance. On the contrary, design changes have been implemented that significantly increase performance and functionality.
Reliably detect trace-amount components with the most sensitive single quadrupole LC/MS system available. The MSQ M Path TM triple orthogonal source virtually eliminates neutral noise and background, assuring extreme sensitivity from real samples. The Summit HPLC system ensures the stable operating conditions required for continuous high-ionization yields. Furthermore, with a Summit LC/MS system you do not need to reinvent the wheel. The MSQ is compatible with existing LC methods, especially those including salts, ion-pairing agents, and dirty matrices, and can be operated over a wide range of conditions, including flow rates up to 2 mL/min.
|Robustness and Reliability|
The Summit LC/MS system with the MSQ Mass Spectrometric Detector is extremely robust and reliable, allowing routine operation over extended periods, even in unattended mode. The self-cleaning atmospheric pressure ionization (API) source ensures continuous high sensitivity without the need for frequent cleaning, even when using inorganic buffers or ion-paring agents. Summit System Wellness technology ensures that the HPLC instruments continuously perform under optimal conditions. Warnings are automatically generated if one of the HPLC modules detects a problem, thereby preventing wasted resources from unconsciously running the system under suboptimal conditions.
With the Summit LC/MS system, you have flexibility with respect to supported MS techniques and required flow conditions. The MSQ comes with atmospheric pressure ionization (API), with both electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric chemical ionization (APCI) capabilities. The system can switch source polarity for the analysis of both positive and negative ions or change the cone voltage (collisional induced fragmentation) on sequential scans across a chromatographic peak. The Summit HPLC pump can be optimized, within minutes, for the lowest gradient delay volume and superior mixing. When operating your system at low flow rates (<200 µL/min), lowest gradient delay optimization considerably reduces your analysis times, and therefore improves the total throughput of your system. When using ion-paring agents or poorly miscible eluents, superior mixing optimization increases the sensitivity of your system.
|More Information in Less Time|
As an LC/MS user, you spend a considerable amount of your time with data analysis and reporting. Chromeleon LC/MS software is the most intuitive and most powerful chromatography software package on the market, and allows you to extract more information from your data, in less time. It provides fully integrated LC/MS method and instrument control, fast comparisons and extraction, background correction of mass and UV spectra, and Microsoft Excel-type reporting for data from all detectors. You spend less time on learning new software, so you have more time for your analytical work.
