Nanopore facilitated monohydrocalcitic amorphous calcium carbonate precipitation†
Predicting the precipitation of solids is important in both natural systems and subsurface energy applications. The factors controlling reaction mechanisms, phase selection and conversion between phases are particularly important. In this contribution the precipitation and growth of an amorphous calcium carbonate species from flowing aqueous solution in a nanoporous controlled pore glass is followed in situ with differential X-ray pair distribution function analysis. It is discovered that the local atomic structure of this phase indicates monohydrocalcite-like pair–pair correlations, yet is functionally amorphous because it lacks long-range structure. The unexpected occurrence of synthetic proto-monohydrocalcite amorphous calcium carbonate, precipitated from a solution undersaturated with respect to published solubilities, suggests that nanopore confinement facilitates formation of an amorphous phase at the expense of more favorable crystalline ones. This result illustrates that confinement and interface effects are physical factors exerting control on mineral nucleation behavior in natural and geological systems.

1) Find the rhythm. This means placing a higher importance on first downs as opposed to the big play. The Giants have picked up just 24 first downs in the last two weeks, which is low for an offense that was averaging that many each game.
2) Don't let A.J. Green find the holes. Regardless of what he said during the week, Green would be noticed. He's Cincinnati's primary weapon and enters the game tied for first in the NFL with eight receiving touchdowns.
3) Shed and tackle. It's best to hear this one from defensive coordinator Perry Fewell himself: "I thought that we didn't shed well and we didn't tackle well [last week]. That was my impression of how we played. We could've tackled a hell of a lot better. We could've shed a hell of a lot better in that football game to make some football plays."
4) Cover. There's a lot of pride on the Giants' special teams, and last Sunday there were rare mistakes made by the coverage units, giving up two 60-yard returns. And, well, they're ticked about it.
5) Anchor down. Cincinnati has the NFL's second-highest sack percentage, and it does so with power rushing. The Giants can't let that pocket collapse. Keep track of Geno Atkins in the middle.
6) Eleven to the ball. Built for the AFC North, Cincinnati's offense is similar to Pittsburgh's and will require a better showing against the run. At running back, it will be BenJarvus Green-Ellis this week and he has the ability to hit the hole and sprint away.
7) Capitalize. The Giants took a 10-point lead into the fourth quarter against Pittsburgh after settling for a field goal. But the Giants last week failed again to punch it in from the four-yard line with a first-and-goal. They left four points on the field and lost by that amount.
8) Keep winning the turnover battle. This is the no-brainer of the week. The Giants continue to force turnovers at a plus-14 ratio, while the Bengals are minus-5.
9) Pressure Dalton. Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton has been sacked 22 times this season, which is tied for seventh-most in the NFL.
10) Get to the bye. Lay it all out for this game knowing there is a respite ahead. It will be that much more enjoyable with a 7-3 record as opposed to 6-4. It will keep the distance in the NFC East race, too.

Prime Minister-designate Moon Chang-keuk withdrew his nomination on Tuesday amid mounting criticism over past controversial remarks, striking a heavy blow to President Park Geun-hye and her reform drive pursued in the aftermath of the Sewol disaster.
With Moon also withdrawing his nomination, President Park is likely to face another hard choice to ward off criticism of her repeated appointment failures and to find a new reliable figure tasked with restoring the battered image of the government after the ferry fiasco that left more than 300 dead or missing.
The former reporter was the president’s second pick for the new prime minister in two months. Former Supreme Court justice Ahn Dae-hee withdrew his nomination last month amid spiraling allegations that he received favors from his prosecutorial network.
Moon said in his 13-minute speech that he wanted to help the president because he had shared her vision and reform drive, but decided to withdraw his nomination because he did not want to be a burden to her. Moon was the first journalist picked for prime minister in the country’s modern history.
“I wanted to help President Park Geun-hye. But I thought it might be helpful for the president by withdrawing from the nomination at this point,” he said.
“Today, I voluntarily withdraw from the prime minister nomination,” he told reporters at a news conference held at the Central Government Complex.
Moon’s withdrawal came two weeks after he was nominated for the nation’s highest unelected official post. Moon, a retired journalist, has been under fire over controversial remarks he made on the 1910-45 Japanese rule of the Korean Peninsula and comfort women. In a speech delivered at a church in 2011, Moon said Japan’s 1910-45 colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula and the division of the country was God’s will. Some even called him “pro-Japanese” and an “apostate.”

Despite mounting criticism from both the ruling and opposition parties, Moon took a firm stand and claimed that he was being wrongly accused.
In an attempt to recover his tarnished reputation before withdrawing the nomination on Tuesday, Moon defended himself by saying that his remarks have been “distorted” and “misinterpreted.”
He claimed that his basic rights, such as the freedom of religion and speech, were infringed upon and that he and his family could not just watch their honor being damaged through a political quarrel.
“Every person is guaranteed the freedom of religion … What is wrong with the remarks that I delivered according to my faith and as an ordinary individual?”
He compared himself with former liberal President Kim Dae-jung, questioning why he was not allowed to express his own faith while Kim was able to do so in his book. The former chief of the editorial desk at Joongang Ilbo also denounced politicians and the media for pressuring him to quit.
Shortly after the announcement, Cheong Wa Dae expressed regret over Moon’s withdrawal.
“The reason why we have confirmation hearings at the National Assembly is to verify (the nominees) and to represent the people’s decision. But I feel regretful (that Moon) couldn’t make it to the parliamentary confirmation hearing,” presidential spokesman Min Kyung-wook said, quoting Park.
“But from now on, I hope that (any) nominee can have the chance to give reasons for issues misunderstood so that their families don’t have to live in pain and dishonor for the rest of their lives,” the president said.
Park has been under mounting political pressure to abandon the former reporter. The president had said she would decide whether to submit the government’s motion to seek parliamentary approval for the prime ministerial nominee after her trip to Central Asia. She returned on Saturday but remained silent.
Reports quoting multiple sources say that Cheong Wa Dae may have attempted to convince Moon to voluntarily withdraw his nomination. If the president made any decision, either to keep him or abandon him, it would be seen as an admission that it was her fault to appoint Moon in the first place, they said.
Moon seems to have decided to quit after having gained a chance to clear his name.
The announcement came a day after the government said that Moon is believed to be a grandson of an independence fighter who fought against Japan’s rule of the Korean Peninsula in 1921. The Ministry of Patriots’ and Veterans’ Affairs said Monday that it is checking whether Moon’s grandfather is the same person recorded on the list of Korean patriots. Moon Nam-kyu from North Pyeongan Province, believed to be Moon’s grandfather, was posthumously conferred an award in 2010.
Later in the afternoon, President Park approved the government’s motion to request that parliament hold confirmation hearings for eight nominees including the chief of the National Intelligence Service and deputy prime ministers for economic and social affairs.
The ruling Saenuri Party expressed regret over Moon and said that his withdrawal shows that the conservative government may no longer be able to restore public trust.
Meanwhile, the main opposition New Politics Alliance for Democracy lashed out at Presidential Chief of Staff Kim Ki-choon, saying he is at the center of the repeated nomination debacles.
“The people want (the president) to take proper action toward Kim by holding him responsible for personnel recommendations and the verification process,” said NPAD spokesman Park Kwang-on. “The president should offer an apology to the people (over the repeated nomination failures),” he added.

Moving on to the AL Central, just a few weeks ago, I thought that this division would belong to the Twins without any question, the Joe Nathan injury has brought some doubt to the division, however. I'm interested to see what the new home park does for the Twins as well.
Speaking of injuries to closers, Kerry Wood could be out for a while as well which doesn't bode well for the Indians, and he was one of the few good players on Cleveland.
Kansas City is still Kansas City, so the big question there might be which of the two, KC and Cleveland, end up at the bottom of the division.
Detroit has the makings of a good team, but they haven't been able to do anything since their meltdown in the World Series a few seasons ago. With some questions in the Minnisota bullpen, however, Detroit should definitely be in the running for the division.
Chicago has a pretty decent team as well, and will have Peavy for a full season to top their rotation. They have some pretty good young bats and should also compete throughout the year for the division crown.

University of Iowa’s defensive lineman Faith Ekakitie was held at gun point by Iowa City police officers July 20 after they mistook him for a bank robber. In fact, Ekakitie was simply playing Pokémon Go.
Ekakitie detailed the ordeal in a Facebook post where he wrote: “Today was the first time that I’ve ever truly feared for my life, and I have the media to thank for that.”
Minutes before the Iowa football player’s encounter with the officers, the police received a call about a bank robbery approximately one block away from the park Ekakitie was playing Pokémon Go, Iowa City police sergeant Jorey Bailey told the Des Moines Register.
The responding Iowa City police officers were given a description of the suspect that matched Ekakitie, “a large black male, wearing all black, with something on the top of his head (and the suspect is armed).”
Ekakitie, who was wearing all black with black goggles on his head, was approached by the responding officers who allegedly asked him to turn around. Ekakitie wrote that he was listening to music and couldn’t hear the officers request which led to the officers drawing their weapons.
He wrote that he’s thankful to be alive and that he very well could have become “another statistic.”
“Misunderstandings happen all the time and just like that things can go south very quickly,” Ekakitie wrote.
Despite the case of mistaken identity, Ekakitie thanked the Iowa City police department for “handling a sensitive situation very professionally.” He added that he wanted to urge others, “to attempt to unlearn some of the prejudices that we have learned about each other and now plague our minds and our society. I am convinced that in the same way that we learned these prejudices, we can also unlearn them.”

Heavy rainfall across Israel over the winter exceeded the annual average by 105%, according to a report published this week by the head of the Israel Meteorologist Service's Climate Department Dr. Amos Porat.
During the rainy season (primarily December and January) areas in the north such as the Carmel Coast, Hula Valley and Menashe Heights all experienced large amounts of rain that exceeded the seasonal average by more than 120%.
Nahariya, also in the north, topped the charts with approximately 140% more than the average rainfall for the time of year.
The infrastructure in many cities was unable to cope with the sudden, heavy downpours, leaving multiple urban across the country massively flooded, including Tel Aviv, Nahariya and Ashdod.
An Israel Air Force base in southern Israel also flooded, damaging several fighter jets and other equipment and causing millions of dollars in damage.
In the West Bank, the amount of rainfall for the season also surpassed the average, albeit by a slightly lower 110-130%.
The northern Negev, which has suffered a deficit of rainwater in recent years, saw rainfall return to the expected average for the south and for the season.
While December and January were rainier than average, February was a little drier, with just 60-80% of the expected amount of rainfall in northern Israel, the Jordan Valley and the Coastal Plain.
In the Galilee and the northern Golan Heights, 120-150 mm of rainwater fell, which constitutes 70-80% of the monthly average for February.
The Sea of Galilee also saw lower than average rainfall in February, reaching only 60-70% of the average, while the Jordan Valley saw 50-80% of its expected rainfall.
Even so, the lake had a very successful winter in terms of replenishing its levels, and now stands at 209.61 meters below sea level and less than a meter below full capacity.
In contrast, the southern and central regions saw an increase in rainfall that surpassed the average for the usually drier February.
In the Gush Etzion settlement bloc south of Jerusalem, the amount of rainfall exceeded the average, reaching 120-140% of the predicted monthly amount.
In areas close to the Gaza border, the amount of rainfall exceeded the average by 110-150%, while in the Negev and the Arava, the amount of rainfall reached 30-50mm, quantities that exceed the monthly average by a considerable amount.

I am trained in oceanography and low temperature geochemistry. The general areas of my research are carbon cycle, climate change, and their interactions. Typically, I use physics-biogeochemistry coupled models of global ocean in order to probe carbon-climate feedbacks. The time period of interest spans the late Pleistocene glacial-interglacial, the modern, and the near future. Recently I have been interested in how the plasticity of phytoplankton's chemical makeup affects the global ocean carbon cycle and why dissolved organic carbon in the deep ocean is so old. A local research interest is Lake Superior. I aim to understand the formation and migration of Lake Superior's thermal bar using satellite imagery and numerical modeling.

While 3D printed skin is certainly helpful in terms of helping burn victims, it can also be used as a much less controversial alternative to animal testing. The JALA Group, a leading Chinese cosmetics company, announced a few months ago that it had successfully produced 3D bioprinted skin, using Asian skin cells, and now a research facility in Taiwan has developed bionic Chinese skin 3D printing technology.
Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), which has previously made the 3D printing headlines with its first metal 3D printer, a 3D printed metal saxophone, and a handheld, wireless mobile 3D scanner, is the major government-funded institute for Taiwanese technology. ITRI recently presented its 3D printed bionic skin technology at the 2017 BioTaiwan Exhibition.
In 2013, the European Union banned animal testing of cosmetics, which got other countries, including Taiwan, considering the ethics of this practice and following suit. But rather than being content to allow for human testing, ITRI developed bionic Chinese skin tissue that could be used to safely test out recipes of new cosmetic materials. 3D printed Caucasian skin wouldn’t do, as its structure and texture differs greatly from Asian skin.
ITRI calls its new bionic epidermal tissue product EPiTRI, which could help cosmetic manufacturers work on material and formula development that stays in line with international regulations and testing guidelines like OECD431 and OECD439. EPiTRI, which has been through strict testing at a multinational laboratory, can be applied in cosmetics for in vitro safety checks. It was derived from Chinese skin cells, and has layers similar to real human skin tissue, including the stratum corneum, followed by a granulosum layer, a stratum spinousum layer, and a basal layer at the bottom.
In addition, EPiTRI’s lipid profiling and barrier functions are a perfect match to real human skin, making it a great model for skin irritation tests and evaluations and epidermis corrosion assessments. Along with EPiTRI, the researchers have created Melano-EPiTRI, which contains malanocytes and is targeted for use with whitening and tanning products’ active ingredient development.
According to Lai Fengwen, the deputy director of ITRI’s Laser and Additive Manufacturing Technology Center (LAMC), the high-quality EPiTRI bionic skin is 3D printed using active biological tissue while maintaining an ambient temperature of 4°C, in order to maintain biological cell activity and solve the many issues that can crop up while printing with viscous materials.
Factors like air pollution, diet, surrounding environment, and sun exposure can all affect the characteristics of our skin, which features multiple cellular structures, so ITRI needed to be able to fabricate diverse skin replacements. Luckily, ITRI’s 3D printer features three print heads, which are all able to be configured to increase the diversity of the 3D printed bionic skin. EPiTRI is the first Taiwan-developed skin equivalent tissue that’s planning for eventual commercialization, and in addition to giving cosmetics companies a better testing alternative, it could also be valuable for other fields trying to stop the practice of animal testing, like pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers. Discuss in the 3D Printed Skin forum at 3DPB.com.[Sources: CTimes (translated), ITRI / Images: ITRI / Hat Tip: 3ders]

An alternative evening at Mishka Bar
Mishka Bar (Бар Мишка) is a very nice place to spend your evening at and to have a good time in the city centre. It is located on the bank of Fontanka river (Набережная реки Фонтанки), and it’s one of the best places to go after a walk at twilight.
It consists of two rooms, decorated with a hipster style. One is inspired by the 80’s, with fairy lights and dance music from that decade. You will surely find yourselves tapping your feet at the rhythm of Michael Jackson and Madonna. The other room instead features hand-made decorations and some comfortable sofas where you can sit and have a drink.
The name of the bar is inspired by Youtube celebrity Mishka, the talking husky. The bar features other curiosities as well, like “creative” translations from Russian to English in the toilet. You will feel yourself at ease with the music, the many colours and the alternative clients of Mishka bar. The vast alcoholic assortment is also worth a look (and a try as well): there are many cocktails and shots which you could drink, and some have really strange ingredients, like tabasco. You will also love dancing there at the weekend, when the bar is more crowded.
Make sure you don’t miss Mishka bar and its friendly bartenders. The alternative and old-school music spun by the DJ will make it impossible for you not to come again.

That a Frank Lloyd Wright designed home is art is not a revelation, but to move such a home almost 1,100 miles to be actual art on the Bentonville grounds of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, well, that’s impressive. But it’s not a surprise considering that the museum’s financier was raised in a home designed by a student of Wright.
Officials with Crystal Bridges announced Wednesday (Jan. 15) the acquisition of “a rare Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian house” that now sits in Somerset, N.J. Museum officials did not disclose the cost of buying the home or associated moving costs.
The home, known as the Bachman Wilson House, will be placed near the museum along its 3.5 miles of trails and 120 acres, with views overlooking the native woodland setting as well as Crystal Spring, the natural spring from which the museum takes its name. Plans are to begin site prep in the spring and have the house move completed by early 2015. (See video at the end of this story about the home and how it will be moved.)
”We’re honored to be able to preserve and share this significant example of American architecture, as Frank Lloyd Wright’s work embodies our own mission of celebrating art and nature,” Crystal Bridges Executive Director Rod Bigelow said in the statement. “The Usonian concept was intended to provide access to architectural quality for all families, which melds well with our philosophy of welcoming all to view American masterworks in our natural setting.”
BACHMAN WILSON HOUSE HISTORY
Built in 1954 along the Millstone River, the house has received “significant damage” by repeated flooding. Experts have said the home needs to be relocated if it is to be saved.
Abraham Wilson and Gloria Bachman (husband and wife) commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright in 1954 to design their home. Gloria’s brother, Marvin Bachman, was an apprentice in the Frank Lloyd Wright Taliesin Fellowship.
The design, according to the Crystal Bridges statement, “reflects Wright’s Usonian period: a work of art in simplicity and form, representing organic design principles.”
Lawrence and Sharon Tarantino, who are architects and designers, bought the home in 1988.
“The Tarantinos painstakingly restored the house, using original construction documents from the Frank Lloyd Wright archives. They have both preserved and restored historic elements, and realized original elements of the Wright design that had previously been altered or eliminated,” noted the Crystal Bridges press release.
Like most Wright-designed homes, the Bachman Wilson house uses natural materials and open spaces that allow the home to blend in with the adjacent geography.
“The Bachman Wilson House goes far beyond providing shelter. It’s an exercise in architecture for architecture’s sake that represents a culmination of principles Wright embraced and developed throughout his long, prolific career. Wright was in his mid-80s when he was working on this house, and he also wrote his book, The Natural House, a summation of his design philosophy, during the same time period,” said Lawrence Tarantino.
CRYSTAL BRIDGES PLAN
The sale of the house includes all the fixtures and furniture designed for it. The Tarantinos will supervised the “methodical process” of dismantling the home so it can be shipped to Arkansas.
Lowell-based J.B. Hunt Transport is donating its trucks and services to move the home components.
"We are honored to be a part of such a monumental effort to save one of America's truly iconic structures,” John Roberts, president and CEO of J.B. Hunt Transport, said in the statement. “We are pleased the house will settle within our area's natural beauty and provide such valuable educational opportunities."
At Crystal Bridges, the house will be available for study as well as for limited programming and tours. Crystal Bridges’ educational and public program offerings include an architectural focus that will be enhanced through the addition of the Bachman Wilson House to Crystal Bridges’ grounds.
Tarantino said other locations were also considered other than Crystal Bridges.
“Once the decision was made to move the house, many opportunities presented themselves to us,” said Lawrence Tarantino. “It became clear that there could be no better opportunity for the preservation of this important work of Frank Lloyd Wright than to secure its future stewardship in perpetuity at a public institution with a mission of celebrating American art and architecture, on a site offering the proper setting, and with the capability of providing for its future maintenance and preservation, all of which Crystal Bridges offers.”
WRIGHT, FAY JONES CONNECTION
Also, museum staff will work with the University of Arkansas to develop programs through the university’s Fay Jones School of Architecture.
E. Fay Jones was just an architecture professor at the University of Arkansas when in 1958 he was asked by Helen and Sam Walton to build a 5,800-square-foot home near where Crystal Bridges is now located. The Walton’s, founders of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., saw that house destroyed in a 1972 fire. They had Jones, who was once a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, rebuild a larger home. Alice Walton, the daughter of Helen and Sam Walton, financed a majority – provided at least $317 million – of the Crystal Bridges museum.
“With the addition of the Bachman Wilson House to Crystal Bridges’ grounds, the master and the protégé will be coming together in our region,” Marlon Blackwell, department head and distinguished professor in the UA Fay Jones School of Architecture. “Not only is an endangered house finding a new home in the Ozarks, but the work of Wright and Jones will be further unified, offering insight into the principles that these two architects and kindred spirits practiced and shared.”
Crystal Bridges, one of the premier art museums in the U.S., opened on Nov. 11, 2011, and has had almost 1.2 million visitors. The facility has about 217,000 square foot of galleries, meeting space, libraries and other areas.

To ensure channels stay truly clean
Reduced water quality can have immense consequences for the temperature control circuit / This is simply and securely stopped by Treat-5
In cases where, for instance, water temperatures above 140 °C, rotary unions or restricted temperature control channel cross-sections place additional requirements on water quality, then the need is to deploy mobile system water supply units, such as HB-Therm’s Treat-5.
The consequences from poor water quality are ruled out as this unit supplies temperature control units with treated system water. This reduces any faults, wear and maintenance to a minimum and thus assures all moulds of a long service life. Process safety is ensured under ongoing operation thanks to a perfected transfer of heat between medium and mould, exact temperature control and an unimpeded flow of media in all the circuits. Treat-5 features a straightforward, ecological form of operation and requests the user at regular intervals to check on system water quality.
How a Treat-5 is to operate: simply, intelligently and conveniently
Easy to operate, a clear display and convenient functions – this aptly describes Treat-5. The menu is in 21 different languages making navigation, for instance, extremely intuitive, as a result. The user receives precise explanations at the touch of a button. The highly-contrasted colour display ensures clear-cut indications at all times, with display windows and values being selectable.
Other comfort functions comprise the interactive user guide allowing the use without prior knowledge, a straightforward instruction on system water quality monitoring, precision-calculated quantities on the water treatment agents needed, an integrated log book for logging the course of treatment as well as simple sampling at the front and USB data recording for evaluation in Excel.
Long-lasting, reliable and low on maintenance
Just as with the other HB-Therm units, a striking feature of Treat-5 is its sturdy construction. The hydraulic circuit is made up in its entirety of corrosion-resistant materials. The stainless steel pump has no seals and the medium-disconnected level gauge functions ultrasonically in a fail-safe manner. The filter basket for removing coarse dirt can be easily and rapidly extracted and also cleaned.
Treat-5: Goes easy on the environment
In any case, Treat-5 operates in a way that goes easy on both energy and the environment. The unit pump only runs for as long as is absolutely necessary. Recycling the system water reduces both water consumption and the use of conditioners. The overall capacity of the system water circuit determines the number of temperature control units that can be attached to Treat-5. Treat-5 works fully automatically after the once-only addition of treatment agents. It is thus a unit the use of which represents a paying proposition from the very beginning.

Small deraileur sprocket clearance
I've been on BF for a while now, posting mostly in the General Cycling and Clydesdale forums. In preparation for at attempt at commuting to work, I had a rear rack installed to hand panniers from. Riding back, the bike was making a little more noise than usual. I finally noticed that the bolt that holds the allen nut that secures the bottom of the rack to the frame is scraping against the chain int the rear derailleur when it's sitting in the lowest (smallest) sprocket. Any thoughts on how to reattach this without the nut? There's plenty of clearance when the rack's not there.
I thought about just replacing the bolt/not on that side with a loop of wire, but that won't be very secure. Help, please!

Islamabad: National Security Advisor Moeed Yusuf rejected reports of meetings with Israeli officials.
Moeed Yusuf said in a tweet that he was disappointed to learn that a leader of a major political party hinted that he had secretly met with Israeli officials.
The NSA clarified his position and said “Let me state categorically and on record that I have not had any meetings with any Israeli officials nor have I visited Israel.”
Moeed Yusuf added that the Prime Minister Imran Khan has been very clear on the matter and Pakistan shall continue to stand for Palestinians’ right to a just two State solution. The rest are all conspiracy theories, he said.
Earlier, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawar Bhutto Zardari asked the government to provide details of Zulfi Buhari and National Security Agency Moyd Yusuf’s alleged visit to Israel. He also asked for the details of the flight to be disclosed.

Perficient acquires Northridge for $14.4 million
Perficient Inc., an IT consulting firm, has acquired Atlanta-based Northridge Systems Inc. for about $14.4 million, including $10.6 million in cash and about $3.8 million in Perficient stock.
Northridge Systems is a business and technology consulting firm with $12 million annual services revenue.
Perficient said the transaction will increase the company’s annual revenue to about $350 million. Perficient’s revenue rose 22 percent in 2011 to $262.4 million.
The deal also will increase the company’s market presence in the southeastern United States, particularly in Atlanta and Charlotte, N.C. Perficient said the Northridge acquisition adds more than 90 consulting, technology, sales and support personnel to its total workforce.
Northridge’s co-founder and CEO, Rob Patten, will join Perficient “in a key leadership role,” the company said, and will report to Aaron Sloman, general manager of Perficient’s Microsoft National Business Unit.
Town and Country-based Perficient, led by President and CEO Jeffrey Davis, has been on a shopping spree lately, acquiring two companies this year alone. In June, the company bought Dallas-based Nascent Systems LP for $18.1 million and in February, Perficient bought Chicago-based PointBridge Solutions LLC for $22 million.

DAYS after the prosecution named Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) legislator Jitendra Awhad while arguing against the anticipatory bail plea of four Thane corporators accused in the suicide of Thane builder Suraj Parmar, one more NCP politician’s name has been linked to the controversy.
Documents with The Indian Express show that MLC Niranjan Davkhare, who is also the youth wing chief of Maharashtra NCP, approached Minister of State for Urban Development Ranjeet Patil in June seeking the latter’s intervention in getting permissions for the very building projects that two NCP corporators, Najib Mulla and Hanumant Jagdale, had raised objections against.
Mulla and Jagdale were among the four corporators Parmar had named in his suicide note. Parmar, who operated a real estate business in Thane, shot himself on October 7.
Later, the Thane police registered a case against Mulla, Jagdale and two more corporators Vikrant Chavan (Congress) and Sudhakar Chavan (Independent). On November 30, former Maharashtra minister Awhad’s name was linked to the controversy when the prosecution questioned the transfer of Rs 1.7 crore from Mulla’s bank account to Awhad’s.
A Thane police source told The Indian Express that the role of Niranjan, son of Maharashtra Legislative Council deputy chairman Vasant Davkhare, was now being probed. Joint Commissioner of Police (Thane) V V Lakshminarayan said, “Investigations are on in the case.” He refused to divulge further details.
Speaking to The Indian Express, Niranjan acknowledged that he had arranged for Parmar’s meeting with Patil. “I came in touch with Suraj (Parmar) over some social work. We became friends. He had come to me for help, claiming some local elements were traumatising him. My belief was that the problems he had been facing were borne out of an ego tussle, and that it was wise to approach the minister for a legally valid solution.”
He said Parmar had told him that efforts to sort things out locally had been futile.
Asked if Parmar had specifically named Mulla and Jagdale among those opposing his projects, Niranjan did not give a direct answer. “I had been given to understand that efforts to sort matters out locally hadn’t succeeded,” he said.
The documents further reveal that acting on a request from Niranjan, Patil convened a meeting with Parmar and senior corporation officials on June 23 and also issued certain directives to the civic body. Niranjan, too, attended this meeting.
Hinting at a deep rift within the NCP in Thane, Mulla told The Indian Express that Niranjan could have first approached him and the other corporators opposing the projects, instead of approaching a minister. “He (Davkhare) is my superior in the party. Had he contacted me, I would have explained that we raised the matter in public interest.” Niranjan, meanwhile, claimed that he approached Patil only after he was convinced that Parmar was indeed undergoing mental trauma over his stalled projects.
Mulla added that the June 23 meeting was an “eyewash”. “The government and the Thane civic administration should come clean on whether the directives the minister issued at the meeting were in line with the norms,” he said.
Patil had earlier told The Indian Express that the directives he issued on June 23 were an “administrative order” and that he was within his rights to do so. Official documents show that Principal Secretary (UD) Nitin Kareer had okayed issuance of the minister’s directives stating that they “asked the TMC to re-verify each case on merit”.
Meanwhile, Awhad issued a detailed note Thursday refuting any link. “We (Mulla and myself) had formed a company (Dream Realtors) along with two other directors in 2009 and have regularly filed tax returns. The Rs 1.7 crore transferred into my account was towards the director’s remuneration and interest,” he said.

I’ve been so busy these past few weeks writing away. It feels like a giant explosion of words has just melted out from my brain. I’ve not written much of anything but the odd one-liner, blog posts and journal entries for such a long time. I’ve missed it. I really must write more.
If Ondine is as successful as I hope it will be, I’m definitely going to write a story for every single collection I do. Oh joy!!
Anyway….. thought I’d share with you a little sneak peek at part of the story.
She nodded, tears spilling down her cheeks.
He rummaged around in his pockets and pulled out a strand of white string. She laughed through sparkling watery eyes and held out her hand. He tied the little rope around her finger. She looked down at the string, flexed her fingers, brought them up to her mouth and licked her new ring. He watched in astonishment as the glistening bubbles in her saliva solidified around the knot and the string set in silver.
“Okay, you really have to tell me all your secret now!”
Still a first draft, so it will most likely change! But, what do you think? Would love some advice?!!
Ooo and here are a few more full-scale tail samples. Must write that knitting blog! and maybe a weaving one too! And the first pretty page in my sketchbook (will upload some more images of the other pages soon).I’ve also been working on some knot-work for the main elements of the jewellery collection… all will be revealed soon.

Zond finally goes public
Previous chapter: Mission of Kosmos-27 (3MV-1 No. 5)
Above: Zond-1 (3MV-1 No. 4) spacecraft. (52)
The 3MV-1 No. 4 spacecraft arrived to Tyuratam on March 11, 1964. After learning the cause of the previous failure on March 27, technicians needed just a soldering tool and some 20 minutes of work inside the avionics box of the BOZ unit to fix the problem, which had doomed at least three planetary missions! (52)
The 3MV-1 No. 4 spacecraft equipped with a lander designed to land on Venus lifted off from Site 1 in Tyuratam on April 2, 1964, at 05:42:40 Moscow Time. This time, the 8K78 (Molniya) rocket performed flawlessly, with its third stage (Block I) inserting the payload into the initial parking orbit around the Earth and separating. Block L fourth stage then fired successfully, propelling the spacecraft into an orbit around the Sun with a period of 290 days and heading to Venus. (227) The probe then successfully separated from Block L, however a leak was detected in the pressurized compartment of the spacecraft. In just a week, the pressure inside dropped to just 1 millimeter of the mercury table.
Immediately, it was clear that with such a major problem, the spacecraft would not be able to fulfill its mission, because sensitive electronics inside the orbital module, such as radio-transmitters, were not designed to function in vacuum. Therefore, it was not politically acceptable to announce the mission as Venera-2. At the same time, the spacecraft had left the Earth orbit and was heading into deep space, which would not fit very well into the profile of faceless Kosmos missions. As a result, it was decided to announce this launch as Zond-1. After all, it had become an endurance test vehicle, as it had been originally envisioned in the Zond project.
Ironically, on April 15, Korolev received a response to his March 23 letter to Sergei Vekshinsky, a top Soviet specialist in vacuum electronics, who agreed to consult OKB-1 on reliable pressurization of spacecraft during long-duration missions. (84) However it was too late for Zond-1. As expected, the probe's main transmitters fell silent.
Until May 25, 1964, ground control was able to communicate with the spacecraft thanks to functioning transmitters and batteries onboard the lander. (52) The spacecraft was also able to orient itself in space using star trackers. As a result, ground control conducted two trajectory correction maneuvers, one at a distance of 560,000 kilometers from Earth and another 14 million kilometers away. (2) The second firing was off by 20 meters per second, possibly due to a malfunction in the propulsion system. (202)
Ultimately, at least one of the star trackers was apparently lost, making accurate orientation impossible. (202) The spacecraft was then commanded to enter into gyroscopic stabilization, which still enabled to conduct communications until around mid-June, or about a month before its rendezvous with Venus. The dead spacecraft then drifted as close as 110,000 kilometers from Venus around July 19, 1964. (52)
Western public sources identified this mission as a Venus flyby, again, with no way of knowing that it was carrying a lander. (185)
Taking a lesson from the failure, the OKB-1 design bureau introduced low-frequency vibration tests for all future pressurized spacecraft compartments and x-ray inspection of all welding lines. Korolev was still upset enough about the depressurization of the Zond vehicle in November 1964, when during a conference of his bureau's Communist Party members, he mentioned the incident as an example of poor performance by his employees. (84)
In 1994, a drawing of the 3MV-1 No. 4 (Zond-1) spacecraft was published for the first time, but no photos of this historic vehicle are apparently available.

Diamond White Returns To 'X Factor' After Being Eliminated By Britney Spears
By Maria Vultaggio | November 8, 2012 2:27 PM EST
After prematurely being eliminated from “The X Factor,” Diamond White was brought back to the show in a surprise twist Wednesday.
The teen joins the final 12, making it as the 13th contestant, after being eliminated by mentor Britney Spears.
Simon Cowell must have been flabbergasted by Spears’ decision, since they ultimately decided to bring back the talented young singer.
Cowell announced to the audience on Wednesday night that the judges had made a “mistake,” so one lucky hopeful would be joining the ranks again.
Out of the four people eliminated from last week's show, the judges felt that White had the most potential, and they might have been too hard on the blossoming star.
"We watched the show back. But we believe we made a mistake with one act," said Cowell.
The audience was left in suspense for a few moments, before White walked back on the “The X Factor” stage with an ear-to-ear grin.
"I feel awesome and I'm ready to get performing," she told co-hosts Khloe Kardashian-Odom and Mario Lopez.
Arin Ray and Diamond White were voted to be in Spears’ bottom two and the two would have to sing for survival before she chose who would go home.
Both of the contestants got raves from the judges, with L.A. Reid and Demi Lovato admitting that they didn’t understand why she was even in the position to sing for survival in the first place.
But once White sang, Cowell expressed that he first thought Arin Ray should be chosen to continue on the show, but that her performance rivaled his.
It must have been his way to hint at Spears he wanted White to stay, without giving anything away to the audience.
Ray was chosen to continue and join the rest of Britney Spears teen group, but now that White was brought back there will be 13 contestants for viewers to vote for.

Loop these 2 pieces into a circular shape, twisting the ends over themselves.
In this next step, you'll cut 2" off the remaining long pipe cleaners.
If you have the strong kind of pipe cleaners, you'd just be cutting TWO 2" pieces off. But, I had to double up & that's why there are FOUR 2" pieces on mine. (Gosh, hope that's not confusing.)
Take ONE of those 2" pieces (I took TWO) & twist it to connect the "lenses".
Now, take your two long leftover pipe cleaners (I had FOUR) & connect them on opposite sides of the "lenses". (I twisted each of my pairs together. You can see how the bottom side is twisted & the top side hasn't been twisted yet.)
Now fit the glasses on your face to measure how long they should be. Twist them up, over & around the ears.
Carefully take them off your ears & snip the excess off with scissors.
These bigger Goofy Glasses were made the same way--except you'd use one whole pipe cleaner for EACH "lens".
You could really go crazy with silly shapes like stars or triangles, etc.

Nej den har jag aldrig hört
Det är ett svenskspråkigt band från Helsingfors. Jag såg en konsert av dem när jag bodde där. Men det var för länge sedan …
It’s not finished but is Swedish and really God I agree
A very calming song.
Tarja what for a beautiful singer
Apologies, I did get it spelled wrong in my haste. I am aware that it is an awesome creation story and the work this artist does is very uplifting and …I totally enjoy it. Many of the videos are also stunning!
Anyway - thanks for the correction and apologies.
GeNie of the Lamp
Surprise I found something hope you will enjoy it
That’s so cool! Kiitos! (Thanks!)
Somehow this almost sounds like French! Don’t you think?
great if things are frustrating just let it out, bang your head!
News from Finland another video upload from Smackbound, LOL seems like they are the only musicians working at Finland.
OMG, would all the other Finnish musicians all have started an early retirement?
Finland meets Japan!
Yes, it does deserve its own topic. As it happens, I’m a huge fan of Finnish music, in particular Poets of the Fall.
Freshly pressed … Oh, I missed some old time melodic rock, that doesn’t feel old at all
Isn’t this the Norwegian band though, with the same name?
LOL internet fooled me again, haha, yeah of course we were talking about them before. I only saw the pictures of them and the text underneath stating “Finnish”, bear with me, I was just too happy, well I am still happy about the song. Maybe I should just succumb and look for a Norwegian music threat?
Let’s create a Norwegian music thread! I’ll join you!

As we’ve known for a while, the BMW M6 GT3 is on its way out. The official GT3 race car from BMW has grown a bit long in the tooth and is running on a rather old platform already, compared to its rivals on the track. Even so, the M6 is still winning and competitive in the plethora of championships it is running in. This weekend, for example, the M6 GT3 will be racing in three competitions across the old continent as it is heading for retirement.
The inaugural DTM GT3 season will be drawing to a close this weekend at the Norisring. Marco Wittmann will be racing there on-board the Walkenhorst Motorsport M6 GT3, hoping for some very good results. After two wins, five podiums and two pole positions, he goes into the final round in fourth place in the Drivers’ Championship. ROWE Racing drivers Sheldon van der Linde and Timo Glock will also have their sights set on ending the season with strong results at the Norisring.
Another championship that’s coming to a close will be the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup. The final race of this season will take place in Barcelona and that’s where you will get to see another two BMW M6 GT3 run by Walkenhorst Motorsport in the Pro class. The #34 car will be driven by David Pittard, Jake Dennis and Nick Yelloly, while Martin Tomczyk, Thomas Neubauer and Nick Catsburg share the driving duties in #35.
Last but not least, the BMW Junior Team will also be racing a BMW M6 GT3, this time in the Nurburgring Endurance Series on the Nordschleife. Dan Harper, Max Hesse and Neil Verhagen are also still in with a chance of winning the NLS Speed Trophy, which recognizes the best GT crew of the season. The trio currently lies second with 140 points, just four off the lead. Next year, the BMW M6 GT3 will be replaced by the new M4 GT3 which will become BMW’s new weapon in GT racing worldwide.

January 13 Editorial
Our loss will assuredly be Great Britain’s gain as current Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney moves to merry old England as of next July, tasked with sorting out their dated, largely ineffective national banking system, taking over the same position he’s held here for the past five years. If nothing else it’s quite commendable, if not surprising, to witness The Bank of England having the courage to reach beyond its own borders for the first time in more than 300 years to identify the best candidate to fix what has become a colossal economic quagmire.
A country’s banking system is at the very core of its economic engine, both foreign and domestic, and is one of the reasons why Canada has fared much better than many other nations during the global economic slowdown – or meltdown, depending on the country. The global economic environment has enveloped much of the planet for more than four years and counting.
Carney’s stellar international reputation as an economic policymaker has brought with it a high degree of star power and influence to the point where he’s essentially been able to map out his future career path. Good thing he wasn’t consulting Apple’s wormy mapping apps on iPhone 5 for travel advice when navigating his way to a job in England or he could have wound up in Greece. Instead, he’ll receive a King’s Ransom – reportedly about double what the current BofE Governor earns in monetary compensation – and countless other perks. Carney also successfully chipped away at the accepted eight-year governor’s term down to five.
Finance Minister Jim Flahert y, Carney’s soon to be former boss, outlines Canada’s economic position and path for 2013 in this edition and is making the promise of no new taxes for Canadian businesses. Much of our economic well-being is directly intertwined by the working relationship – or lack thereof – between Democrats and Republicans in the United States. Here’s hoping for a more blissful 2013 than the constant partisan bickering we’ve seen during the previous four years.
Jan. 30 is a date many people have circled on their calendars. Barring further delays, that’s when Research In Motion will unveil its much-anticipated “Superphone” – the BlackBerry 10. The Waterloobased company has hinged most of its tattered reputation and very survival on this electronic telecommunications device. A strong international acceptance and RIM could be on the road to recovery. Moderate to low acceptance will almost assuredly result in the company being overtaken or broken off into pieces and sold to the highest bidders.
Finally, we offer a quick tribute to Norman Woodland, co-inventor of the bar code, the inventory tracking tool that transformed global commerce in the 1970s and saved shoppers countless hours in the supermarket checkout line. The revolutionary inventor died recently in New Jersey at the age of 91. Today, more than five billion products a day are scanned optically using the bar code.

Help him help them
The devastation in Flint, Michigan rocked our country. In April 2014, the city of Flint suffered a water crisis. Its drinking water was contaminated with lead which put citizens in serious health danger. It resulted in several lawsuits and a water state of emergency.
Today, the city is still in trouble. Many Hollywood stars have used their celebrity to travel to the city to help families in need. Many have donated water and funds. Now, Eminem is using his fame and followers to do the same. The rapper, whose real name is Marshall Mathers III, took to Instagram to enlist the help of his fans to do some good.
