About the Artist
“From early childhood I loved to draw and mold clay. It was the one thing that heightened concentration to the point that time seemed to stand still. No other activity held my attention nearly as much as visual art. Living on a farm several miles from town, artwork became a daily source of entertainment and delight.”
- Michael Major
I have been a professional visual artist for 35+ years. During that time my work has evolved from drawings, painting and printmaking to bronze monumental sculpture. I have published a number of books of drawings and created scores of larger-than-life bronze monuments.
My master's work (Pratt Institute) was in printmaking including lithography, serigraphy and intaglio. I have been trained in monument restoration and have both created and restored monuments throughout the US. My hobby is flying my 1947 Bonanza. I've been a pilot for eleven years and travel to work sites throughout the country.

Top critical review
More romance than suspense
on September 15, 2001
Theo Buchanan is devoted to his job, much like his FBI brother Nick (star of ï¿½Heartbreakerï¿½), the only difference is Theo is a Justice Department attorney.
At an exclusive party in New Orleans, Theo is struck ill and rushed to the hospital, there his life will be saved by Dr. Michelle Renard, a beautiful surgeon. While Theo is slowly falling for Michelle, he will uncover a ring of criminals who call themselves the Sowing Club.
The Sowing Club consists of four men led by John, and while their crimes have given them millions of dollars set up in a Caymanï¿½s Island bank, John wants more, and he devises a brilliant planï¿½or so he thinks.
Johnï¿½s wife is very wealthy so he comes up with the scheme to have one of his men kill her, so he can collect her fortune and split it among the other members. Well, Catherine had plans of her own, and before her death she devised her own plan, one that will destroy John, and the members of his club.
The deeper Theo becomes involved with the Sowing Club, he realizes that Michelle has somehow become a target, and now he is faced with the ultimate challenge of saving her life, as she had saved his.
Itï¿½s a shame ï¿½Mercyï¿½ wasnï¿½t a better thriller, because Julie Garwood is an excellent writer: her characters are fleshed out, and the plot interesting, and well executed, but it takes a long time before anything good really happens. About two hundred pages into the book is when it becomes a thriller, whereas the rest of the novel trots along with the development of a love story, and the sub-plots involving various characters.
Readers of Ms. Garwoodï¿½s romance novels may like this, but a hard-boiled thriller fan will, more than likely, be bored. Better luck next time.

Guatemala, nestled in the heart of Central America, offers a captivating blend of Mayan, Spanish, and Caribbean influences within its food culture. This guide provides essential tips for making the most of your culinary experiences in Guatemala.
Try Traditional Dishes
‘Pepian’ is a traditional Guatemalan stew with meat, fruits, and vegetables blended with a mix of spices. Another must-try is ‘Kaq Ik,’ a spicy turkey soup known for its intense, smoky flavor.
Indulge in Tamales
Guatemalan ‘Tamales’ are a unique take on this Mesoamerican staple. They are often bigger than their Mexican counterparts, wrapped in banana leaves, and can include a variety of fillings, such as meats, fruits, or even chocolate.
Savor Fresh Fruits
Fruit in Guatemala is abundant, fresh, and diverse. Don’t miss out on locally grown mangoes, bananas, papayas, and the lesser-known but delicious ‘mamey’ and ‘jocote.’
Sample Street Food
Street food is an integral part of Guatemalan food culture. Try ‘Shucos,’ a Guatemalan-style hot dog often served with avocado, boiled cabbage, and a variety of sauces.
Enjoy Guatemalan Coffee
Guatemala is known worldwide for its high-quality coffee. Be sure to try a cup of locally grown, freshly brewed coffee.
Taste Traditional Desserts
‘Sweet tamales,’ or ‘tamales dulces,’ are a dessert variation of the classic tamale, often dyed pink and sweetened with sugar. ‘Rellenitos,’ banana dough filled with sweetened black beans, is another popular treat.
Discover Local Markets
Local markets are the heart of Guatemalan food culture. Visit ‘Mercado Central’ in Guatemala City or ‘Chichicastenango Market’ to explore a broad range of fresh produce, local spices, and traditional dishes.
Respect Dining Etiquette
In Guatemala, it’s polite to keep your hands above the table and use utensils whenever possible. Also, it’s customary to say ‘Buen provecho’ (enjoy your meal) before you start eating.
Atol, a warm corn-based beverage, comes in several flavors like corn, black beans, or chocolate (‘atol de elote,’ ‘atol shuco,’ and ‘atol de chocolate’ respectively).
Engage with Locals
Guatemalans are known for their friendliness. Engaging with locals might lead you to undiscovered culinary gems, home-cooked meals, or local food festivals.
Guatemalan cuisine is a vibrant blend of ancient traditions and diverse influences. From hearty stews and flavorful tamales to exotic fruits and world-class coffee, the food scene in Guatemala offers an enticing range of tastes to explore. Remember to say ‘Buen provecho,’ and enjoy your gastronomic journey through Guatemala.

Date of release: Thursday, December 17, 2015
A living green wall packed with plants including primula and thyme – reminiscent of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon – is the latest addition to the university's Medway Campus.
Students and visitors will be able to enjoy the scents and flowers produced by the many plants in the vertical garden, which has been erected next to the historic Pembroke Building.
However, the living green wall serves a greater purpose than merely making the campus even more attractive. It is part of research project being led by Dr Anna Romanova of the Faculty of Engineering & Science.
Living green walls have become popular aesthetic features in places such as rail stations, shopping centres, hotels and central squares.
Yet little research has been done into the potential benefits green walls can provide in mitigating noise and pollution, boosting thermal insulation and promoting bio-diversity.
Dr Romanova says: "Living walls are expensive to construct and maintain. If they are to be used widely we need more information about their economic, environmental and social benefits.
"Our small-scale recreation of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world will let us undertake systematic research. That will put us in a much better position to evaluate the benefits living walls offer as part of initiatives to green our built environment."
The living green wall, which is two metres high and four metres wide, has plantings of luzula and euphorbia alongside its thyme and primula.

Stop Child Abuse Arizona Initiative
Power Over Predators is proud to partner with Arizona State Senator Victoria Steele and other childcare advocates to promote the Stop Child Abuse Arizona Initiative. The initiative will provide online, phone, chat, and text support to children who want someone to talk to about what they are experiencing. The initiative will also distribute information to schools, teachers, coaches, pediatricians, and others so they can help distribute flyers and online information to children and families.
“Senator Steele’s first memory was being raped by a family member. School was her safe place, but she still didn’t know who she could talk to.
What if she had heard the truth about personal body safety and abuse? What if she’d been told that abuse is never ok and there are people out there that would listen and help her?
Abuse prevention was never provided she went on to suffer in silence.
Today, 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 5 boys will suffer abuse before their 18th birthday. Who will be their voice?
Power Over Predators is an abuse prevention program that I wish I had. Maybe I would have been spared years of abuse at the hands of my abuser. We all have a part to play in protecting kids from abuse. Abuse prevention must be provided in every school for every child.”
If you see a child being hurt, please call 1-800-SOS- CHILD.

Easy peasy accessibility tip:
Provide participants with handouts before, not after, workshops, learning opportunities, or any type of event.
What do you mean?
Have you ever been to an event where they tell you that you'll get slides and handouts after the event or in a follow up email? This is an example of getting materials after an event. This reduces accessibility. This is because for some people, having a digital copy of the materials makes learning about and understanding the topic easier. This can apply to a variety of learning styles, disabilities, or for those not fluent in the language.
Why not just provide the material afterwards?
Some people may want to follow along during, not after, an event. They may want to access the material live.
How does providing digital content before an event help?
Providing access to materials in advance can be helpful in obvious ways as well as ways that may never have occurred to us. Here are some of the more obvious ways having materials in advance can help.
Those needing visual accommodations can access the materials by adjusting size, color contrast, or using a braille or screen reader.
Providing materials in advance of an event helps those needing hearing accommodations in a variety of ways. For example, if you have a slide show, ensure the transcript is in the presenter notes, so those who do not hear well can read what you are saying. During the presentation, turn closed captioning on your slides, to provide additional support.
When participants have the materials, they don’t have to worry as much about missing something. They can go back and reference it. Additionally, for some people it is helpful to have the material that is being presented, in advance so they can interact with it in a variety of ways and focus on the learning. They may want to highlight pieces, take notes on what they are learning, file or store the information in ways that make sense to them, for later access, etc.
An easy way to provide access to all materials is to provide a hyperdoc agenda. This means an agenda with links to all relevant materials, handouts, and presentations. Place a link to this agenda in promotional materials, emails, calendar invites, flyers, etc.
Why isn’t everybody doing this?
Some people may feel that if someone wants an accommodation such as receiving materials in advance, they should just as for it. While this does provide access, it is not inclusive and it singles people out.
Presenters may be hesitant to provide materials in advance because people may:
- Not to attend if they have the materials in advance
- Not to pay attention to the presenter
- Steal their proprietary content
Each of these hesitations can be addressed in the following ways.
Ensure you make clear the benefits of attending face-to-face i.e. interactive activities, networking opportunities
- Paying attention to the presenter
Direct participants on where their attention should be focused
- Stealing content
On slides and handouts indicate the author and sharing permissions
Now that you know providing materials in advance, doesn’t take any more effort and it provides a better experience for your participants, how might you change your practice? Do you still hold some fears about sharing content with participants or are you ready to give it a shot?

Amazing Water: An Introduction to Classical Music (by Ana Gerhard)
Fall 2016 Audio Book
Ages: 4 – 9 yrs.
Producer: The Secret Mountain
CD Price: $16.95
What a gorgeous way to introduce children (and interested adults) to classical music. Each component of this book-and-CD package has been crafted with care, from the well-chosen musical selections to artist Margarita Sada’s evocative illustrations, to the explanatory text, written with a storyteller’s eye for color and detail. (It begins with a written commentary about water itself-as a source of life and destruction, a focus for community and ritual, and an inspiration for artists.) Among the nearly 45 minutes of water-themed classical symphonic, solo, and vocal works excerpted from recordings by world-class orchestras are “The Drop of Water Etude” for guitar by Fernando Sor, Claude Debussy’s “Play of the Waves,” from “La Mer” (“The Sea)”; “Agitated by Two Winds,” from the Vivaldi opera, “Griselda”; “The Storm,” the fourth movement of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6; and the breathtaking “Rain Tree” (for percussion) by Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu. In addition to the accompanying commentaries for each piece, the book features a listening guide, profiles of each composer, a glossary of musical terms, and a composer timeline. Outstanding.

First of all, I must say that I have been interested in astronomy since childhood, but in the 90s it was not possible to purchase a telescope. In the 2000s, interest in astronomy was limited to watching Discovery Channel films, and the dream of a telescope was forgotten due to everyday worries — study, work, etc.
And when interest in astronomy suddenly flared up, I began to choose a telescope, read forum articles, etc. Finally I chose a tool for a balcony and rare trips out of town — Sky-Watcher BK909AZ3.
After a while, the Sky-Watcher BK909AZ3 telescope I ordered came with complete 10mm and 25mm eyepieces. I also ordered Sky-Watcher eyepieces 6.3 mm super-splash — for planets and 20 mm wide-angle 66 degrees, for star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, and also ordered a 2x Sky-Watcher barlow lens and a solar filter.
From the balcony, observations of the planets, the Moon and the Sun with the Sky-Watcher BK909AZ3 telescope were successful, but it was not possible to see deep space objects, since I expected to see them brighter than they were in reality, and besides, the observation conditions from the balcony aggravated by the construction site with powerful searchlights. In the future, I still understood how objects outside the solar system look like.
Now a description of what I saw.
Initially, observations were made from the balcony of the 8th floor, with access to the west, the outskirts of the city, under the windows there was a construction site with searchlights. There is no observational experience.
1. Moon. Time of observation: winter, spring.
Eyepiece 6.3 mm — in my opinion, the eyepiece captures a third or a little more of the surface of the moon, you can consider craters and other relief elements separately. Slight chromatism is noticeable.
Eyepiece 10 mm (included with the telescope) — the surface is almost as detailed as in 6.3 mm, but the viewing angle is much larger. There is also less chromatism, I would say almost none, in contrast to the 6.3 mm super-glare eyepiece.
Eyepiece 20mm wide-angle chic panorama of the moon, everything is very clear.
25mm eyepiece (included with the telescope) — there are no big differences from the 25mm wide-angle eyepiece.
2. The Great Nebula of Orion (M42). Time of observation: late winter, early spring.
Very bright, the contours of the nebula and some structure are clearly visible.
Eyepiece 6.3 mm — the nebula occupies almost the entire field of the eyepiece. the trapezoid is perfectly resolved into individual stars.
Eyepiece 20mm wide-angle chic panorama of stars and nebulae, the trapezoid is resolved as expected.
3. Pleiades (M45), Hyades, Chi-Ash Perseus (NGC 869 NGC 884). Time of observation: late winter, early spring.
The 20mm wide-angle eyepiece and the 25mm eyepiece showed chic starfields with approximately the same quality, it is impossible to take your eyes off. In eyepieces of 10 mm and 6.3 mm it is not interesting, since the viewing angle is small.
4. Jupiter. Time of observations late winter spring.
There are no big differences between the 20mm wide-angle eyepiece and the 25mm eyepiece. They show a small disk and two bands without details and 4 satellites.
The 6.3mm eyepiece is the same as the 20mm but larger and more interesting.
A 10mm eyepiece is between 20mm and 6.3mm, not interesting.
5. Saturn. Time of observation: late spring.
The 20mm wide angle eyepiece and the 25mm eyepiece set show a small yellow disc with rings.
Eyepiece 6.3mm is good. The rings and the gap between the planet and the rings are visible. A slight chromatism could be seen.
The 10 mm eyepiece, oddly enough, proved to be better than the 6.3 mm. It is possible that the heat fluxes from the house did not affect the image so much at a lower magnification. Chromatism was not noticeable.
6. Cluster M44. Time of observation: spring. The finder looks quite compact. Found in the sky as follows. Castor and Polux drove into the finder a little and turned the telescope a little to the left until in the finder he noticed a beautiful compactly open cluster of stars.
7. Sun. Time of observation: winter, spring.
Eyepieces 6.3 mm angle too small
Eyepieces 10mm, 20mm (wide angle) and 25mm spots are excellent, you can see the details in the spots (something like changes in the uniformity of the relief around sunspots).
M3 is the first globular cluster I have seen. The search was carried out along the star chain from Seginus down. It looks like a hazy spot, brighter in the center with a sharp decrease in brightness towards the edge. It is best to observe it with peripheral vision.
M5 — it seemed to me very similar to the M3, but dimmer. The search was carried out along the star chain from Unukalhai.
M13 — A large cluster of Hercules and M92 looked much brighter and more attractive than M3 and M5. When observed in mid-September, the brightness increased, perhaps the state of the atmosphere was very good, sparks were felt at the edges and a very bright center was distinguished.
M31 — the Andromeda galaxy — a rather large oval-shaped hazy spot — it was a bright center, without any spiral structure. Found her climbing up from Mirach.
Departure under the dark sky about 40 km from the city in a straight line. In fact, the foothills of the Ural Mountains. The border of the green and blue zones, judging by the light map. The Milky Way is clearly visible at the zenith, it is not distinguishable near the horizon. The illumination from Ufa does not rise high, it does not interfere with observations. Observation time mid-August.
M3, M13, M92 looked much brighter and more interesting than from the city. M13 and M92, as if sparkling at the edges with asterisks.
M31 — the Andromeda galaxy — a bright central part and a gradual decrease in brightness towards the edges were noticeable, the structure of the arms, of course, was not visible, but the “general galactic structure” was visible.
M32 was visible as a bright foggy spot
Hi-Ash Perseus (NGC 869 NGC 884) and Pleiades (M45) looked amazing. By the way, the Pleiades in the Sky-Watcher 20mm 66 degree eyepiece field do not fit completely.
M33 — For some reason, it was not possible to detect a galaxy in a triangle.
At the end of summer and autumn, in conditions of strong illumination by the searchlights of the construction site, I observed the following objects from the balcony with the eyepiece Sky-Watcher 20mm 66 degrees.
M11 — The Wild Ducks Cluster is observed dimly as 3 or more small stars, with a slight hint of nebula. It is better to observe with peripheral vision.
M15 and M2 are clearly visible globular clusters in my opinion. in mid-September, a bright center and sparking along the edges are visible.
M29 — Open cluster. 6–8 stars are lined up in a trapezoid shape, against the background of a cloudy foggy structure.
M56 — Looks like M5 and M3 to me, but dimmer.
M57 is the planetary nebula “Ring”. The first planetary nebula I saw. Visible as a relatively large (compared to surrounding stars) and bright spot. It is better to look with peripheral vision. When observed in mid-September, the contrast increased, with peripheral vision, a ring structure seemed to be visible.
M27 — Planetary nebula “Dumbbell”. very large foggy spot. The structure of the nebula is guessed. When observed in mid-September, the contrast increased.
M71 — Globular cluster. Very dim non-contrasting spot, dimmer than M56.
M94 — Dim foggy spot.
M39 — Observed in the first decade of November, a beautiful open cluster, 20–30 stars are observed, more with peripheral vision. The cluster fits well in the field of view of the Sky-Watcher 20mm 66deg eyepieces.
The “Hanger” cluster is a very beautiful asterism, best observed with a finderscope.
M31 — the Andromeda galaxy in late autumn looked like a large bright contrasting hazy spot. And her satellite M32 looked like a small bright foggy spot.
M101, M110, M51, M63, M33 could not be seen either with lateral or even more so with direct vision.
Also could not see the Veil Nebula, the Crescent Nebula, the Cocoon Nebula.
Double stars Heart of Karl, omicron1 and omicron2 Cygnus, Alberio, Lyra delta, Lyra epsilon look great in the telescope (it’s impossible to divide into four components by itself).
1. The 10mm eyepiece supplied with the telescope performed surprisingly well, although I read a lot of negative reviews about it.
2. The 20mm wide angle eyepiece gives a very nice picture.
3. The 25 mm eyepiece supplied with the telescope, in my opinion, shows no worse than the 20 mm wide-angle.
4. For a telescope, it is advisable to purchase an inexpensive eyepiece with a focal length of more than 30mm to get a wider field of view.
5. Do not chase for a large increase. For starters, complete eyepieces are enough.
6. In a telescope, in any eyepiece, the stars look like clear points of different brightness. At high magnifications, heat flows from the house interfere, the picture fluctuates, the stars periodically become shaggy.
7. Azimuthal mount AZ3, which is supplied with this telescope, is very convenient, has mechanisms for fine movements, makes it easy to aim at an object and accompany it.
8. It is highly desirable to get out of the city for astronomical observations, where the telescope fully realizes its potential.
I have never regretted purchasing the Sky-Watcher BK909AZ3. I had a lot of fun watching.
It is very interesting to observe, I recommend to everyone who does not have a telescope to purchase. Get a lot of pleasure from observing objects located outside of our planet. What is worth observing the Moon or the very realization that objects of observation of unimaginable sizes are at an unimaginable distance from us and that they are available for observation. Positive emotions are also caused by simply looking at the night sky at a small increase, while counting time is lost.
Examples of videos in this telescope (the picture is shaking because I hold the camera in my hands, and the magnification is too high, in reality the picture is much clearer and more stable)


The global tensiometer market size is expected to reach USD 328.31 million by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Global Tensiometer Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Type (Volumetric, Optical, Force, Bubble Pressure, Others); By End-Use (Healthcare & Pharmaceutical, Oil & Gas, Chemical, Energy, Industrial, Others); By Region; Segment Forecast, 2023 - 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The Global tensiometer market is a device used to measure a liquid's surface tension. Surface tension is the property of a liquid that describes the degree of attraction between the molecules at the surface of the liquid. This property is responsible for various phenomena, such as capillary action and the formation of droplets. The surface tension of a liquid can be affected by several factors, including temperature, pressure, and impurities.
Tensiometers are widely used in various fields, including chemistry, biology, physics, and engineering. In chemistry, tensiometers are used to measure the surface tension of liquids and to study the behavior of surfactants and other molecules at the liquid-air interface. In biology, tensiometers are used to study the properties of biological fluids and measure cell membranes' surface tension. In physics, tensiometers are used to study the behavior of liquids under different conditions, such as in microgravity environments. In engineering, tensiometers are used to measure the surface tension of liquids and to design systems for liquid handling and transport.
The basic principle of operation of a tensiometer is to measure the force required to separate a liquid surface from a solid surface. Different types of tensiometers are available, including Wilhelmy plate tensiometers, pendant drop tensiometers, and bubble pressure tensiometers. Wilhelmy plate tensiometers use a thin metal plate to measure the force required to detach the liquid from the plate. Pendant drop tensiometers use a droplet suspended from a capillary tube to measure the surface tension of the liquid. Bubble pressure tensiometers use the pressure inside a gas bubble to measure the surface tension of the liquid.

Tensiometers can provide accurate measurements of the surface tension of liquids, which can be used to study the properties of fluids and to design systems for liquid handling and transport. Tensiometers can also be used to measure the interfacial tension between two immiscible liquids, which is important in the study of emulsions and other mixtures of liquids.
The tensiometers are important devices used to measure the surface tension of liquids. They are widely used in various fields, including chemistry, biology, physics, and engineering, and can accurately measure the surface tension of liquids under different conditions. Tensiometers are essential tools for studying fluids and designing systems for liquid handling and transport.

AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Tips
The PGA Tour remains in California as the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am takes place this week and the field is relatively strong, it should be an excellent event from a betting perspective. As you can see below, the previous winners of this event are all excellent players. It would be a surprise to see a serious longshot win the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am however it’s possible. Jason Day heads the betting and can be backed at 8/1 after he won the Farmers Insurance Open last week, and not far behind the Aussie is last year’s winner Jimmy Walker.
2014 – Jimmy Walker -11
2013 – Brandt Snedeker -19
2012 – Phil Mickelson -17
2011 – DA Points -15
2010 – Dustin Johnson -16
The Courses – Pebble Beach, Monterey Peninsula and Spyglass Hill
The AT&T Pebble Beach National is played over three different courses. Each course is played once before those that make the cut play the host course Pebble Beach again. Pebble Beach golf course needs no introduction, its hosted five US Open’s and the PGA Championship on one occasion. Over the past few years course form has proved to be crucial. From 1999 to 2014, fifteen of the sixteen winners of this event had recorded a top 25 finish in the AT&T Pebble Beach National before there victory. This highlights how important experience is around the three courses in use.
There are some strong trends of players that have performed well in this event over the last three years. Firstly in 2012, 2013 and 2014, 16 players finished inside the top 5 (including ties). Of those 16 players only three of them were ranked inside the top 60 in terms of driving accuracy in the year they recorded their top 5 finish, thus showing that driving accuracy is far from important.
On the other hand driving distance didn’t prove to be particularly important either. Just 6 of the 16 players that finished inside the top 5 ranked 50th or better in the driving distance statistic in the year they recorded their top 5 finish. However it should be noted that driving distance has proved to be more significant than driving accuracy in this event because the rough isn’t too punishing.
So if driving accuracy and distance aren’t overly important what are the key traits required to win this week? Personally I’ve focused on putting and scrambling stats. Eleven of the 16 players that have finished inside the top 5 over the last three years have been ranked 60th or better in the strokes gained putting statistic. Four of the five players that didn’t rank inside the top 60 gained strokes on the field putting, James Hahn being the only exception in 2013. Finally eleven of the 16 players that have been in the top 5 over the last three years have been ranked 60th or better in terms of scrambling in the year they finished inside the top 5. These stats suggest to me that the winner will be the golfer who scrambles and putts the best over the course of the week.
Patrick Reed – I don’t particularly like backing players shorter than 25/1 in a big field however Patrick Reed ticks all the boxes this week. Over the last couple of years the talented American has been excellent, he’s won four PGA Tour events and he also had a brilliant Ryder Cup. His latest win came at the start of the year in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions and at the rate he’s progressing he’ll inevitably win again soon.
As I’ve mentioned above Reed ticks all of the boxes. He’s played in this event on two occasions and has recorded 7th and 13th place finishes, thus proving that the three courses in use this week suit his game. Driving accuracy has proved to be irrelevant, thus favouring Reed who is far from accurate off the tee. The other two statistics which I believe are beneficial are scrambling and par 5 performance. This season Reed is currently ranked 1st in the scrambling statistic and last year he was ranked 42nd in terms of par 5 performance on the PGA Tour.
Kevin Streelman – My favourite bet this week is Kevin Streelman at a generous 100/1. He is a two time PGA Tour winner and I think he has a decent chance of winning for a third time this week. Course form has proved to be important in the past and Kevin has made his last four cuts in this event and in 2012 he tied for ninth.
As always current form is crucial and Streelman has made the cut in each event he has played in in 2015. In Kevin’s most recent outing he finished 30th in the Waste Management Phoenix Open and closed the tournament with a 64, this suggesting that his game is in good shape.
Brian Stuard – Brian Stuard performed very well throughout the 2014 season and this led to a 51st place finish in the Fedex Cup. He recorded four top ten finishes and this includes a 2nd place finish in the OHL Classic at Mayakoba. Last season’s performances suggest that he is capable of recording his first victory on the PGA Tour.
Admittedly Stuard has started this season slowly, however he tied for tenth a couple of weeks ago in the Waste Management Phoenix Open and he finished 53rd in the Farmers Insurance Open last week. 53rd obviously isn’t a great result but he performed well from tee to green and simply had a poor week with the putter which is usually one of his strengths.
Brian finished 30th in this event in 2013 which suggests he can perform well and his game should suit the course. Scrambling is important and in 2014 the American was ranked 41st on the PGA Tour in terms of scrambling. Finally scoring well on the par 5’s has proved to be important in this event and Stuard was ranked 32nd on the PGA Tour last season in terms of par 5 performance, thus suggesting he’s capable of playing the par 5’s well.
Andres Gonzales – Andres Gonzales is a web.com tour graduate and I’m sure he’ll be pleased with the start he has made on the PGA Tour. Admittedly he doesn’t have the course form which is required however I can’t see why his game won’t suit this event. He is long off the tee which is preferable and he can be erratic at times however driving accuracy has proved to be irrelevant, this favouring Gonzales. Scrambling is a trait which I believe to be important and last season on the web.com tour Gonzales was ranked 18th in terms of the scrambling statistic, a good week around the greens could see Gonzales in contention on Sunday.
Current form is crucial when betting on golf and Gonzales has played some good golf since he earned his PGA Tour card. The American finished 3rd in the OHL Classic at Mayakoba towards the end of 2014, this shows he is more than capable of competing on the PGA Tour. Last week Andres played in the Farmers Insurance Open and tied for 27th position despite shooting a final round of 77. Last week’s performance in California suggests Gonzales is playing well and for this reason I’m happy to back him at a generous 300/1.

Having received a letter from Jayden after their arrival home from Ecuador, Ben and Tessa had hoped he’d be on his way home soon, but concerns about Jayden’s growing attachment to the young, beautiful Angela Morgan make them wonder if he’ll ever be prepared to leave her and come home to them. They have no choice but to pray and wait.
Meanwhile, Jayden falls deeper in love. He attaches himself to Angie’s family, who have problems of their own in the form of an unexpected pregnancy. Jayden is amazed at how Angie’s parents handle what could be every parent’s worst nightmare in a loving, caring, non-judgmental way.
As Jayden’s sixteenth birthday is celebrated on both of sides of the world, changes are afoot. Jayden has started attending a Bible Study run by Angie’s youth group, and although he’s interested, he needs proof God is real and is determined not to get caught up in any of the emotion. Will he tell her the truth about himself, even if it means he might lose her?
Kathryn goes from bad and worse, but Jayden never expected to see her on the headlines of the news. What has his mother done?
Although they’d rather Jayden was home, Tessa and Ben make the most of their time alone prior to the birth of their baby, but when Tessa is rushed to hospital and Ben is unable to be contacted, all Tessa can do is pray.

West Ham director of football Mario Husillos has hailed "fantastic professional" Carlos Sanchez as the defensive midfielder was announced as West Ham's tenth - and likely final - signing of a busy summer.
The 32-year-old midfielder joined on Thursday alongside Arsenal striker Lucas Perez, with Sanchez penning a two-year deal in the capital having previously thought to have only been joining on a year's loan from Fiorentina.
Sanchez joins Perez, Ryan Fredericks, Issa Diop, Jack Wilshere, Andriy Yarmolenko, Lukasz Fabianski, Fabian Balbuena, Felipe Anderson and Xande Silva as the new faces in east London as Manuel Pellegrini's spending this summer tops close to £100m in an unprecedented level of spending.
Having sold Cheikhou Kouyate to Crystal Palace a week ago, the Hammers were in the market for a backup midfielder to challenge Pedro Obiang and seemingly Declan Rice for a spot in the first team and the former Fiorentina man Sanchez is the one to push them.
Husillos has opened up on why the club plumped for Sanchez as their man to provide the backup, saying: "Carlos is a very experienced player whose career I have always followed closely and with admiration.
"He made a great impression for Elche in Spain when I was Sporting Director with Malaga, and came back to Spain last season on loan with Espanyol - plus of course he already has experience of England and the Premier League from his time with Aston Villa.
"He has also been a regular in the first team for Colombia for many years, and was a very important player for them at the World Cup this summer.
"He has great quality as a holding midfielder. He can also cover other positions but it is as a defensive midfielder that he really excels. He is also a fantastic professional, with great character, who will be a very good personality within the dressing room.
"I have known the Colombia national team coach, Jose Pekerman, for many, many years, and he has always spoken very highly of Carlos.
"We are very happy that he has joined West Ham United and wish him great success in his time here."

I’m so pleased to have a new Q&A with Portland-based novelist Molly Gloss over at Late Night Library. Her fiction embraces its Western settings and makes landscape an integral force on its characters–always something I enjoy. In the Q&A, she also touches on something I think we don’t discuss enough right now: our American mythologies. In this case, she addresses the cowboy myth.

Can I put a compensator on my Glock?
Griffin Armament Micro Carry Compensator
For those interested in carrying a concealed Glock handgun, the Griffin Armament Micro Carry Compensator is the perfect recoil-reduction solution. … Griffin Armament has added wrench flats to the otherwise round compensator design to assist with tightening it on the barrel.
Does 9mm need a compensator?
Most 9mm compensators are for the benefit of red dot sights. The biggest downside of red dots is losing the dot between shots, compensators help with that. So yes, they do help, but it’s tough to say if they will help enough for your needs.
Is it legal to have a compensator?
Although the included muzzle device is typically a flash suppressor, some jurisdictions cling to antiquated and ill-informed laws that regard these devices as an “evil feature,” whereas a muzzle brake or compensator is perfectly legal.
What is the purpose of a compensator on a pistol?
A muzzle brake or recoil compensator is a device connected to, or a feature integral to the construction of, the muzzle or barrel of a firearm or cannon that is intended to redirect a portion of propellant gases to counter recoil and unwanted muzzle rise.
Does threaded barrel reduce recoil?
These days, the most common method is with a threaded barrel. Ports, though, are machined into the barrel itself, usually with corresponding relief cuts in a slide to allow for gas to escape. Both ports and comps exist for the same goal: reduction of recoil and muzzle flip.
What is a 9mm compensator?
When you shoot a firearm there is a chemical reaction and explosion in which a projectile is launched through a barrel. A Compensator is a device that’s usually attached at the end of a barrel. … It’s objective is to take those gases and redirect them in a way that is advantageous to the shooter.
Is a compensator worth it?
Compensators can be very effective at reducing felt recoil and muzzle rise. This aids in getting the sights back on-target more quickly. Some shooters also feel compensators can help them reduce the chance of flinching due to the reduced perceived recoil.
Are compensators legal in Florida?
Are Silencers Legal in Florida? You bet they are! Most states allow silencer ownership and use in hunting. In Florida, you can use your silencer for target shooting, home defense, hunting, or any other legal use.
How much is it to get a barrel threaded?
What is the cost for barrel threading and how long does it take? Barrel Threading is $99.99 per barrel, plus tax and shipping depending on your chosen service. This includes a thread protector and any assembly or disassembly needed.
What is self indexing compensator?
According to the manufacturer, the proprietary compensator “vents gasses upward putting downward pressure on the muzzle greatly reducing muzzle rise for better control”. The self indexing design makes installation or removal easy and does not require shims or additional parts for proper timing.
What does ported barrel mean?
Porting involves precision-drilled holes also called ports in the barrel and/or slide on pistols, shotguns and revolvers. These ports reduce recoil by diverting the gases expelled before the departure of a projectile. The gases are directed out the top of the barrel which forces the barrel down.

Enfield Council strips off licence of licence after finding 4,600 cigarette packets behind fake walls in a toilet.
An off-licence has been stripped of its licence by Enfield Council after a snifferdog detected thousands of illicit cigarettes behind two fake walls and a locked metal door in a toilet.
Enfield Food Store in Hertford Road, Ponders End, had its licence revoked on Wednesday 20 April by Enfield Council’s Licensing Sub-Committee after the Council sought a review, supported by the Metropolitan Police. The premises had also been caught breaching numerous licencing conditions.
The latest revocation is the third time that the premises has lost its licence.
Licensing Enforcement officers first visited the premises on 2 October 2015 and found nine packets of non-duty paid hand-rolling tobacco and 40 packets of cigarettes hidden under a butcher’s chopping board. They also found 13 licence conditions were being breached.
The owner was issued with a warning letter on 20 October 2015 and a voluntary declaration was signed by the premises licence holder confirming he had checked the premises and no non-duty paid products remained.
But on 10 November Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs officers seized 74 bottles of non-duty paid bitter and on 21 December 2015, Enfield Council’s Licensing Enforcement officers found more than 4,500 packets of non-duty paid cigarettes and 35 packets of hand-rolling tobacco with most discovered in a toilet area behind two fake walls and a locked metal door.
Enfield Council’s Cabinet Member for Environment, Cllr Daniel Anderson, said: “This was tax evasion on an industrial scale. The lengths that the premises owners went to conceal this tobacco shows that they knew what they were doing was illegal.
“This is one of the biggest seizures of tobacco ever made from an off-licence in Enfield. The premises owners repeatedly showed a flagrant disregard for the law and actively worked to undermine our efforts to licence premises in the borough.
“I understand that under the previous licence-holder tobacco was concealed in a chest of drawers with false bottoms under which the cigarettes were hidden.
“The time and effort that must have gone into building the various storage containers in which items have been concealed shows that this is obviously a large-scale operation taken very seriously.
"The last seizure alone, accounting for just cigarettes and alcohol, amounted to a staggering £24,244.37 in tax evasion."

THE country's top rum maker Tanduay Distillers Inc. (TDI) is set to introduce in the market its export product bearing a label that it is processed and bottled in Bacolod City, a first of its kind.
This was confirmed by former councilor Em Ang along with the company officials during the press conference on the country's first-ever Tanduay Rum Festival at Cafe Azucarera in Bacolod City yesterday.
Ang, author of the ordinance declaring the third week of August as a celebration of Rum Festival in the city, said the development was first announced by TDI president and chief executive officer Lucio "Bong" Tan Jr. during the festival launching in Manila recently.
"He (Tan) explained to us what's happening with Tanduay and how it has become the top rum in the world as well as their plans for Bacolod City," she said, adding that they really want to concentrate in Bacolod to help not only the city but the industries and businesses here as well.
The launching of the Bacolod-labeled Tanduay rum will be among the highlights of the festival on August 17 to 24 this year.
TDI will be giving a commemorative product to the City Government of Bacolod as a symbol of partnership for the hosting of the eight-day festival.
The rum company will release an initial of 50 cases of Tanduay rum with Bacolod City in the label mainly for export market like United States.
It will be processed and bottled in one of the company's distilleries based at the boundary of Bacolod City and Murcia town in Negros Occidental.
The product will be out in the market at least six months after the launching, most probably starting next year.
It will be a totally different packaging of the product which traceability is really Bacolod City, Ang said.
The company earlier said it is eyeing to strengthen its international presence starting this year.
Currently, it has markets in at least five states in the United States.
These are on top of the recently penetrated markets in Guam, China, and Australia and soon in some parts of Europe.
Established in 1854, Tanduay is one of the oldest existing liquor companies in the country.
It is a member of the Lucio Tan Group of Companies, and the oldest among the subsidiaries and carries with it the distinction of being one of the biggest brands in the distilled spirits category with a 99 percent share in the rum category.
Aside from the Tanduay Distillers plant in Bacolod-Murcia boundary, the company also owns the Asian Alcohol Corporation in Pulupandan, also in Negros Occidental.
Its two other plants are in Cagayan de Oro and Laguna.
The former chairman of the City Council's committee on tourism, who was with Mayor Evelio Leonardia during the festival launching, further said that Tan announced that he wants Bacolod to be the home of Tanduay rum.
The city will be known for rum, this is the direction of the company according to him (Tan), Ang said.
"It will be a big boost for the city as the number one rum in the world will be known to be made here," she said, adding that in terms of tourism, it's putting Bacolod in the map.

Commercial Metals Company (CMC - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter fiscal 2020 results on Jan 6, before the opening bell.
Which Way are the Estimates Headed?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fiscal first-quarter revenues suggests growth of 13.2% to $1.45 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings per share is pegged at 56 cents for the quarter, suggesting a 60% jump from the year-ago quarter.
In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while revenues missed the same. Both top and bottom lines improved year over year. The company surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters, the average positive surprise being 5.76%.
Let’s see how things are shaping up prior to this announcement.
Commercial Metals Company Price and EPS Surprise
Our proven model predicts an earnings beat for Commercial Metals this season. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Earnings ESP: Commercial Metals has an Earnings ESP of +18.92%. This is because the Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate are currently pegged at 66 cents per share and 56 cents per share, respectively.
Zacks Rank: The company currently carries a Zacks Rank of 3.
Key Factors to Consider
Increased spending on construction activity in the United States and favorable markets in Poland are likely to have contributed to the company’s first-quarter fiscal performance.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Americas Recycling segment’s revenues is pegged at $238 million for the to-be-reported quarter, suggesting a decline of 21.2% from the year-ago quarter. However, the segment is expected to report an operating loss of $0.98 million, as against the operating profit of $15.4 million recorded in the year-ago quarter.
For the Americas Mills segment revenues, the Zacks Consensus Estimate is pinned at $763 million, projecting 26.7% year-on-year growth from the prior-year quarter’s $602 million. The segment’s operating profit is projected at $135 million, indicating an improvement of 18.4% from the $114 million reported in the prior-year quarter. Benefits from the acquisition of certain U.S. rebar steel mill and fabrication assets from Gerdau S.A, production of spooled material at the Arizona micro mill, expansion of finished goods production capacity at the Polish facility and strong rebar demand at the micro mill in Durant, OK, will likely have aided the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
The Americas Fabrication segment is anticipated to report revenues of $591 million in the fiscal first quarter, indicating a 35.2% jump from the $437 million recorded in the year-ago quarter. The segment is expected to report an operating profit of 75 cents per share as against the prior-year quarter’s operating loss of 37 cents.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the International Mill segment’s revenues is currently pegged at $172 million for the fiscal first quarter, suggesting a decline of 24.2% from the prior-year quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s operating income is $8.43 million for the quarter, indicating a slump of 74.3% from the year-ago reported figure.
Nevertheless, inflationary pressures on manufacturing costs due to a tight labor market, and consumable raw-material prices are expected to have dented the company’s margins in the quarter. Furthermore, its debt to equity ratio has gone up to fund the acquisition of certain U.S. rebar steel mill and fabrication assets from Gerdau S.A. Consequently, the company’s margins in the quarter under review are expected to reflect the negative impact of higher interest expense.
Stocks Worth a Look
Here are few Basic Materials stocks which you may want to consider, as our model shows that these have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat in their upcoming releases:
Franco-Nevada Corporation (FNV - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +2.97% and carries a Zacks Rank #2, currently. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Nucor Corporation (NUE - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +1.90% and holds a Zacks Rank of 2, at present.
Southern Copper Corporation (SCCO - Free Report) , currently a Zacks #3 Ranked stock, has an Earnings ESP of +1.75%.
Breakout Biotech Stocks with Triple-Digit Profit Potential
The biotech sector is projected to surge beyond $775 billion by 2024 as scientists develop treatments for thousands of diseases. They’re also finding ways to edit the human genome to literally erase our vulnerability to these diseases.

PLX acquires Teranetics in $36M deal
9/23/2010 8:12 PM EDT
SAN JOSE, Calif. – PLX Technology, Inc., a designer of PCI bridge and switch chips, has signed a merger agreement to acquire Teranetics, Inc., a developer of physical layer chips for 10 Gbit/second Ethernet over copper.
Under the agreement, PLX will acquire Teranetics in exchange for 7.4 million shares of PLX valued at approximately $27.6 million, cash of approximately $1.3 million and two promissory notes totaling about $6.9 million. PLX will also assume approximately $18 million of Teranetics debt and expenses.
The acquisition has been approved by both companies’ boards of directors. The companies expect to complete the deal in early October.
The deal is likely a win/win, said Jag Bolaria, a senior analyst for The Linley Group (Mountain View Calif.) Teranetics likely needed more investment before it could be profitable, and PLX needed the technology to expand beyond its core PCI chip business.
The market for 10Gbit/s Ethernet over copper has been slow to ramp, putting pressure on a handful of startups in the field including Teranetics. Investors are likely pressuring the startups, most of which has raised as much as $100 million each, to find an exit via acquisition.
Demand for the so-called 10GBase-T devices “probably won’t ramp to significant volumes until the second half of 2012 in tandem with some of Intel Sandy Bridge server platforms,” said Bolaria. “By that time large competitors such as Broadcom could be at 28nm and startups may need more money to stay on their process road maps,” he said.
PLX is hungry for growth under a relatively new chief executive and with revenues that have peaked in recent years to about $80 million. With Teranetics it gets access to the leading edge serdes technology in the 10GBase-T devices, something it can apply to a broad range of interconnect markets.
“To date, PLX has licensed high-speed serdes from companies like Gennum, but an interconnect company without its own serdes technology is a difficult play,” said Bolaria.
PLX will face big challenges going head-to-head with giants such as Broadcom and Marvell in Ethernet markets, Bolaria said. However, it may apply its new serdes technology to a range of underserved interconnect markets in areas such as Fibre Channel and backplanes, he added.
The Linley Group estimates that more than four million 10G Ethernet ports will ship in 2012, rising to more than 22 million ports in 2014. That compares to more than 200 million gigabit Ethernet ports currently shipping each year.
“PLX is fully committed to this [10GBase-T] market and will continue to invest in future PHYs and other IP to bring high‐performance system‐level products to market,” said Ralph Schmitt, chief executive of PLX in a press statement.
Last year, PLX acquired interconnect chip designer Oxford Semiconductor.

Educators in non-formal vocational education and training in Mozambique: A plea for recognition and professionalisationManuel, A., van der Linden, J. & Popov, O., 3-May-2017, In : International Journal of Lifelong Education. 36, 3, p. 324-338 15 p.
Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › Academic › peer-review
Interest in vocational education and training (VET) is growing. This can be attributed to global socio-economic developments requiring continuously changing knowledge and skills. Adult education and training, particularly in non-formal education (NFE) contributes to provide these skills and knowledge for youth and adults. This puts pressure not only on programmes and facilities, but also on the educators. How do they cope with the changing demands? This paper focuses on educators in non-formal vocational education and training (NFVET) in Mozambique. It explores the perceptions, experiences and reflections of educators in NFVET working in training centres on the outskirts of Maputo. Semi-structured interviews and observations were used to get insight into the educators’ understandings and into the conditions in which their educational activities took place. The findings point to the need for the professionalisation of NFVET educators. This would contribute to the quality of their activities and to their status as professionals.

GOP Reps Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) are now the target of a potential investigation for their “active roles” in provoking and aiding the deadly January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.
The three lawmakers have been referred to the House Ethics Committee and Office of Congressional Ethics in six separate letters demanding a probe to determine the extent of “their involvement in the deadly attack on the Capitol.”
“It is critical for the functioning of Congress—and therefore the functioning of our democracy—that this investigation is conducted,” wrote Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal, “I urge the House Committee on Ethics and the Office of Congressional Ethics to thoroughly investigate Representatives Boebert, Brooks, and Gosar’s conduct, and refer any appropriate findings to the Department of Justice.”
I didn’t know if I would make it out alive on January 6th.
GOP members who aided insurrectionists or stoked the flames that day must be held fully accountable. That’s why I’m calling for ethics investigations to be launched into the actions of three members. https://t.co/dEbEIuQMKl

New Bestcilia publication: bacterial pathogens in PCD
Another publication by the researchers from the group of prof. Kim Nielsen, leader of Bestcilia WP5 (Copenhagen University Hospital, Denmark), has been issued of late. The study performed for the purposes of the article aimed primarily to explore the complex issue of bacterial flora in chronic and non-chronic infections in the lower airways of PCD patients.
The researchers attempted to review the strains of bacteria of the same genus commonly found in PCD patients and discover the possible connections between them in order to see whether PCD is associated with any specific strain.
The article summarizes the results of an 11-year-long observation of as many as 107 PCD patients, from infancy to 74. The microorganism found most frequently in the study was Haemophilus influenzae; other common pathogens included P. aeruginosa, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Staphylococcus aureus. Crucially, each patient was infected with a different P. aeruginosa strain; this bacterium was more frequent in teenagers and adults than children. Early (pre-school) PCD diagnosis correlated with lower incidence of this particular bacteria strain.
To conclude, results of this study are significant inasmuch as they point to the fact that bacterial infections in PCD sufferrs are to some extent related to the age of the patient. They also single out P.aeruginosa as a bacterium commonly colonizing the lower airways area; the incidence of chronic infections in this study was greater than in previous research.

KRAS-driven and pancreatitis-associated pancreatic tumor initiation is dependent on EGFR.
Major finding: KRAS-driven and pancreatitis-associated pancreatic tumor initiation is dependent on EGFR.
Mechanism: EGFR signaling promotes cancer cell proliferation and acinar-to-ductal metaplasia.
Impact: Further studies on the clinical efficacy of EGFR inhibitors in pancreatic cancer are warranted.
Oncogenic KRAS and chronic pancreatic inflammation facilitate pancreatic tumor initiation in part via acinar-to-ductal metaplasia, which results in the conversion of acinar cells to progenitor-like ductal cells with increased transformation potential. However, although EGF receptor (EGFR) signaling induces metaplasia, EGFR inhibition has only shown limited therapeutic benefit in patients with pancreatic cancer. Using mouse models of pancreatic cancer driven by mutant Kras as well as human biopsies, Ardito and colleagues and Navas and colleagues detected upregulation of EGFR expression and activity in clusters of acinar cells prior to acinar-to-ductal metaplasia, acinar cells of damaged pancreata (pancreatitis), metaplastic areas, and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanIN), suggesting that EGFR promotes pancreatic tumorigenesis. Consistent with this idea, both groups showed that Egfr deletion or treatment with erlotinib diminished PanIN formation and impaired progression to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Furthermore, both studies demonstrated that ligand-mediated EGFR signaling was necessary to trigger metaplasia stimulated by mutant Kras or induction of pancreatitis. However, Tp53 loss was sufficient to bypass this requirement and to trigger EGFR-independent tumor growth. Downstream of EGFR, Ardito and colleagues showed that sustained ERK activation was required for metaplasia and the development of PanINs. In addition, Navas and colleagues identified elevated PI3K and STAT3 as critical downstream effectors in PDACs and showed that combined inhibition of these pathways abrogated cancer cell proliferation. Importantly, this dependence on EGFR was specific to pancreatic tumors, as Navas and colleagues showed that the growth of Kras-mutant lung and intestinal tumors was unaffected by Egfr loss. Taken together, these findings implicate EGFR activation as a critical and early event in KRAS-mutant pancreatic tumorigenesis and support additional testing of EGFR inhibitors in patients with pancreatic cancer.
Ardito CM, Grüner BM, Takeuchi KK, Lubeseder-Martellato C, Teichmann N, Mazur PK, et al. EGF receptor is required for KRAS-induced pancreatic tumorigenesis. Cancer Cell 2012;22:304–17.

The Ottawa chapter of Dorkbot got rolling last night in our lovely new M70 Lab. It started with an interesting presentation from Sebastian Baillard on the RepRap 3D printer. Thanks Sebastian, everybody can’t wait to see it done!There is more Dorkbot to come on March the 11th (and every second Tuesday of the month after that) when Normand Rivest will be demonstrating different techniques for building the equivilant of an SM58 microphone for under $10.00, and together we will be building Xoscope circuits. These are buffer+amplifier circuits which will enable you to use your computer’s sound card as an oscilloscope. (An oscilloscope is a tool that measures, records, and graphs the voltage in an electrical circuit.) This circuit may be helpful as a buffer/amplifier for circuit bending as well.

I can almost see it: my seventeen-year-old self. Brown, frizzy hair. Black leggings and a painted black t-shirt of David Sylvian. Red Chuck Taylors (that I still own, so how pathetic am I?). I am listening to the radio in the car (Wang Chung, most likely), and my mother asks politely for me to turn it down, if not turn it off completely.
"You always liked The Beatles," I note, inferring that she preferred her older children's musical preferences, especially since they rehearsed day and night in the garage. "How come you don't like my music?"
"I like some of your music," she confesses. "Not all of it."
And here is where I make my declaration: I am never going to let the generation gap get in the way. I am going to like all of the music of the future.
Yeah. That expired in 1995, I think, with the exception of John Mayer. I stopped listening to the radio. I stopped paying attention. And somewhere along the way, I not only stopped liking the new music, but lost interest in it. I don't know why. Maybe because I'm a creature of habit. I read the same books, watch the same movies and TV shows. I surround myself with what I like, what I know. Always have. I do the same when I write, too. I write about coffeeshops and books and beaches and guys who look like former teen idols.
I've been hanging out in various coffeeshops, as is my summer custom (or rather, my year-round custom). One in particular has been playing music from the 70s and 80s, and it's like coming home for a homecooked meal. It struck me the other day that they're called "oldies". In my day, "oldies" included songs like "Rock Around the Clock" and basically any band with a member that played an upright bass. But now I belong to that generation. One that used phones with cords, record players, and computers when the floppy disks were really floppy. Mine is the generation who memorized Gordon Gekko's "Greed is good" speech from Wall Street, which we now watch with sadness every time we see the Twin Towers standing tall and so seemingly untouchable. My incoming college freshman students, on the other hand, will be the first generation that has never known (or can't remember) a world without cellphones, without CDs, without email, without an MTV that actually featured music.
My students and I tease each other -- I chide them on "that stuff" they listen to, while they laugh in disgrace when I confess that I'd start dancing right there in the classroom if someone started playing "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go". Little do they know that the real reason I'm laughing is because somewhere, in the back of my memory, there is a seventeen-year-old girl shaking her head saying, "What happened to you? You promised!"
Yes. I failed my seventeen-year-old self. But those oldies I listen to are the fountain of youth without all the emotional upheaval that came with it. It's the way I get to go home even though my childhood house belongs to someone else now. It's a part of novel-writing I love--whether they are the inspiration, or the splashes of color that I include just for me, they are the bridge to a life of contentment.
I should really get rid of those Chuck Taylors, though. Especially since they have holes in them.

UK notes progress towards peace in South Sudan is “too slow and too limited” and calls on government to act in interests of its people
UK expresses concern at levels of humanitarian crises and severe malnutrition and calls for Government to partner with donor communities and the UN to solve the crisis
Remarks by Ambassador Jonathan Allen at the Security Council, 3 March 2021
Thank you very much, Madam President. Let me begin by thanking Jackline Nasiwa for her briefing. And let me also take this opportunity to commend the outgoing SRSG, David Shearer. David, I and many others have seen over the years your genuine, personal and tireless commitment towards peace and stability in South Sudan. You have always put the people of South Sudan first. Members of this Council saw that first hand during our visit in 2019. This has been a distinguished tour of duty, and my country thanks you for your service.
Madam President, twelve months on from the formation of the Revitalised Transitional Government of National Unity, I want to welcome the appointment of a unified Cabinet, Governors and Deputy Governors in all states. We hope that those appointed can deliver tangible improvements to people’s lives.
South Sudan’s endorsement with a roadmap for implementing transitional justice mechanisms, including the Hybrid Court, is also welcome. And I urge the Government of South Sudan to expedite the memorandum of understanding with the African Union on the Hybrid Court.
Madam President, whilst these steps are welcome, overall progress has been too slow and too limited. Time after time, this Council expresses its concerns and calls for action. Yet what we and the people of South Sudan continue to see is inaction on a number of issues. Power vacuums at local level have directly led to further suffering and civilian casualties. The Government needs to show the world that it’s serious about peace. As the next step, we call for South Sudan to complete the reconstitution of the Transitional National Legislative Assembly. We also call on the Government to ensure adequate training and resourcing of the Necessary Unified Forces. Such action does not require any easing of the arms embargo, but should the Government wish to submit exemption requests, they are free to do so for the consideration of the Sanctions Committee.
Madam President, we must acknowledge that more people are in need of assistance than at any time since South Sudan’s independence nearly a decade ago. 8.3 million people are dependent on humanitarian assistance to survive. 60 percent of the population is facing crisis levels of food insecurity. 1.4 million children under the age of five face severe malnutrition in 2021 – that’s 10 percent of the entire population. We must do all we can to scale up the humanitarian response.
The UK is giving over $175 million this year in response to needs in South Sudan, in addition to our large scale funding of COVAX, providing vaccines around the world. I want to remind Council members of the importance of our passing of UN Security Council Resolution 2565 and provisions within it calling for access to vaccines in conflict zones, which I hope will apply fully in South Sudan next year.
Reporting from the UN Commission on Human Rights provides further devastating insight into the impact of conflict on civilians. Violence against civilians continues. Rape and starvation are used as weapons of war. Now is clearly not the time to downgrade the Human Rights Council’s oversight of the situation.
The South Sudanese government needs to show it understands the severity of the plight of its people, to take responsibility and act in partnership with donor communities and the UN to solve the crisis. It should include full respect for the Status of Forces Agreement. And I want to state our unequivocal support for UNMISS and recognise the crucial protection role played by UNMISS.
Madam President, one year on from the formation of a transitional government and almost 10 years from the creation of South Sudan, we have sadly little to applaud. We can say that it could be worse, but only because so often it has been worse. There are multiple systemic failings and sadly, the elite do not choose to put the interests of the people first. We need an approach which incentivises those elites to cooperate in the interests of all.
I note that the representative of South Sudan has again today chosen not to participate in our meeting. Indeed, we have not seen him here for a year. I understand he has said he does not want to join us because he feels that his country is criticized in our meetings. It seems to me that if more time was spent by the leadership of South Sudan in listening to others rather than ignoring inconvenient voices, then things might improve.
Madam President, we cannot let the systemic drift continue. With renewed effort from us all, including from the government and the politicians in South Sudan, substantial progress can be achieved. We should seize this opportunity so that when we meet again ahead of the 10 year anniversary of South Sudan’s independence, we – and more importantly, the people of South Sudan – can have something to celebrate.
Thank you, Madam President.
