Leeds United are reportedly close to landing AC Milan youngster Zan Benedicic following the collapse of negotiations for Federico Viviani.
Massimo Cellino and Nicola Salerno looked set to press on with their Italian revolution at Leeds by bringing in 22-year-old Roma midfielder Federico Viviani on loan.
Marco Silvestri, Tommaso Bianchi, Souleymane Doukara and Gaetano Berardi have already arrived from the peninsula this summer and Viviani looked primed to join the quartet as a top target for the Yorkshire club.
The Giallorossi youngster’s agent confirmed interest from the Whites last month and his signing looked imminent over the past weeks - but on Saturday Cellino said there would be no move.
He rather bluntly told the Yorkshire Post: “I’ve already decided. He is out.”
With Viviani’s proposed Elland Road switch having gone the way of Jonathan Rossini’s similarly failed move, however, Cellino doesn’t seem content to sit back.
SkySports have now indicated that Leeds are 'closing in' on completing a deal to take 18-year-old Milan midfielder Zan Benedicic on loan.
Whilst Viviani is more of a box-to-box presence in the centre of the park, Benedicic is an attacking midfielder who has carved out a fine reputation for himself in Milan’s Primavera side.
Earlier in the month Italian sources claimed that Leeds had enquired after the Slovenian’s availability with Milan - so it’s possible negotiations had been brewing alongside those for Viviani.
At any rate, Cellino has seemed determined to get his hands on a highly-rated youngster from one of the Italian top flight’s giants and with Viviani not arriving from Roma, Benedicic fits the bill in that regard with his Diavolo status.
Benedicic is yet to feature in the first team for Milan - Viviani boasts both Serie A and Serie B experience - and Milan as such are reportedly content to see him cut his teeth in the Championship with Leeds.

Poetry Readings from Promise and Fair Sun
November 7, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Sally Van Doren and Susan Barba — Poetry Readings from ‘Promise’ and ‘Fair Sun’
Tuesday, November 7th, 2017 at 6PM — Labyrinth Books
Two important contemporary poets will be reading from their new collections at the store; please join us.
Van Doren’s Promise features a series of short lyric poems, contemplative vignettes of daily life that examine friendship, marriage, and family with a veneer of playfulness. These poems take us into a space where a year is compressed into minutes and a small trickle of memory floods the mind. Van Doren, a visual artist as well as a poet, composes word collages that help us touch the promise underneath the surface and to make sense of the senseless.
The three interrelated sections of poetry in Fair Sun explore the primary importance of connection, both with other human beings and with the natural world. In the first section, poems explore the acquisition of language. There are poems that enact the sudden possibilities of speech, the complexities of translation, the bewilderment of the bilingual speaker, both fluent and tongue-tied. The second section consists of a series of prose poems titled “Andranik.” In these poems, a child is speaking with her grandfather who relates the details of his survival during the Armenian Genocide: his escape, the murder of his father, the suicide of his sister, the death of his best friend, forced marches, enslavement – all punctuated by memories of an earlier boyhood spent chasing ducks, swimming in the river, sleeping on mats under the stars. The final section contains shorter lyric poems that explore the proximity of life and death, the complicity and interdependency of the individual in the collective, and the redemptive possibilities of sympathy.
Sally Van Doren is an American poet and visual artist. She was awarded the 2007 Walt Whitman Award from the Academy of American Poets for her first collection of poems, Sex At Noon Taxes. Her book prior to Promise is Possessive. Susan Barba’s writing has appeared in Poetry, Raritan, The Hudson Review, The Yale Review, Harvard Review, Boston Review, Words Without Borders and elsewhere. She is a senior editor for New York Review Books.

It's a real estate buyer's market in most areas of the country, but many would-be house purchasers -- especially first-timers -- remain on the sidelines, waiting for home prices to fall still further.
They may be outsmarting themselves.
With U.S. home prices falling well from their highs, surging inventories of unsold homes and the threat of more foreclosures on the horizon, the housing market has been tilted strongly toward buyers in the past year. In some parts of the country, market-rate housing is falling back into affordable territories and those who were once priced out of the market are now taking a second look.
Some experts say the values still have a long way to fall, leaving potential first-time buyers wondering if they should hold out for lower prices. No doubt that's a good question, but waiting also carries the risk that interest rates and home prices could start rising. Experts say timing the market correctly is almost impossible and that for a traditional homeowner -- who should be taking a long-term outlook approach -- timing is irrelevant.
Looking on a local levelAccording to the National Association of Realtors, or NAR, the median price of a single-family home in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2007 was $206,200, down from a peak of $223,500 in the second quarter of 2007. Last year, home values posted the first yearly decline in 16 years and home prices fell almost 9 percent, the largest decline on the Case-Shiller home price index in at least 20 years.
"The risk in waiting is that they (buyers) could end up paying more than they need to, whether that is on the price of the home or the monthly payment because of the interest rates," says Bonnie Abbott, a professional real estate consultant from Seattle.
Abbot cautions against generalizing the real estate market on a national level and says to look more at local factors. She says Seattle is currently experiencing an influx of job opportunities which may prevent the market from declining any further. She also points to the fact that many homes in all markets are still sold based on "life changes," such as births, divorces, deaths, downsizing and relocation, which means that people will continue to buy and sell homes on some level no matter what the economy is doing.
Stuart McAfee, a Realtor with Oakhurst Properties in the San Francisco Bay area, believes prices have hit bottom in his area because investors are starting to buy properties. He says the doom and gloom portrayed in the national media has falsely convinced some people that the sky is falling in everyone's backyard. Some people point to the subprime mortgage crisis and the resulting foreclosures as a basis for further price decreases, but McAfee says the problems have been blown out of proportion.

The Nine Network’s A Current Affair has dodged questions over who paid for One Nation leader Pauline Hanson’s controversial trip to Uluru.
Senator Hanson scaled the sacred rock as part of her campaign to keep the climb open.
However, a trailer for Monday night’s episode showed the senator getting stuck on the rock face apparently just 40 metres into her climb.
The traditional owners of the site, the Anangu Aboriginal people, and the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park will close the climbing route in October.
The senator’s decision to climb the rock came after she drew a parallel to closing the sacred site and closing Bondi beach.
Nine would not confirm to The New Daily if it had paid for the trip but did reveal that Senator Hanson had been the one to pitch the plan.
“Pauline Hanson has recently expressed a desire to attempt to climb Uluru after the announcement that local land owners would be enforcing their desire to prohibit people climbing the magnificent natural landmark,” a Nine spokesman said.
“Ms Hanson invited A Current Affair, along with local land owners, on that journey.”
In a Facebook post, Senator Hanson said the trip had not been paid for by the taxpayer.
A Current Affair defended its decision to film her journey, saying it would help Australians gain insight into the “significant debate”.
“The ACA team followed due diligence to ensure all permits were granted and the climb was approved, and engaged local elders who agreed to meet with Ms Hanson,” the spokesperson told The New Daily.
In the teaser, Senator Hanson can be seen walking up the rock without issue, until her boots appear to give her trouble.
“I’m not going up any further,” she said.
“Seriously, I cannot get down here. My boots are that bloody old.”
Getting stuck during her climb triggered a last-minute change of heart from the Senator, who now wants to see it closed for safety reasons.
Last Thursday she told the ABC she now understands why climbing on the rock would be banned.
“It’s quite scary. I was surprised. I’d never been out there before,” she said.
“I respect the decision that there is not enough safety with regards to the rock.
“I respect the decision that their people, their kids, are not getting jobs. They’re bringing in Aboriginals from outside to fill the positions that should belong to their own people.”
In 2017, the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park board voted unanimously to close the climb.
The decision, which was widely welcomed by indigenous leaders who said it would “right a historic wrong”, was followed by scores of tourists rushing to climb the rock resulting in complaints of rubbish dumping, trespassing and illegal camping.

This weekend, the EU passed a milestone in vaccine deliveries. EU countries now have enough vaccine doses to be able to vaccinate 70% of the adult population.
“As of tomorrow, the total of vaccine doses delivered to all regions in Europe will amount to around 500 million,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said.
“We are prepared to continue distributing vaccines, also against the new variants.
“Now, the EU member states must do everything in their power to ensure that vaccination goes forward. Only then will we all be safe,” she added.

“You passed the Natatorium budget and I can’t meet it with the salaries,” Joe Matthews, Jasper’s public works director, told the Council during a work session held on Dec. 9. “So the first thing I’m going to do, starting in January, is cut out after-school programs and cut out the Summer Club Nat program to try to get in budget.”
Matthews’ statement served to make a point that adjustments have to be made in order for the Natatorium to stay within the 2011-2012 budget approved by the Council on Dec. 6.
“My point is, I’m just telling you and telling the mayor I’m $50,000 over salaries,” Matthews said. “I can’t do it and run everything that I’m running and that’s my first cut.”
When Council President Sandi Sudduth asked Matthews if he can “try and find a way to make it work,” Matthews responded he could if the Council gave him $50,000 more in the budget.
“Their budget is primarily salaries,” Matthews said about the facility located at 610 10th Ave.
The city’s total budget for the Natatorium is about $523,000. The amount budgeted for salaries is about $250,000, according to Matthews who said the amount budgeted for salaries was reduced by about $50,000 from the year before when $298,000 was spent on Natatorium salaries.
“The Natatorium has four full-time people, but primarily it is run by part-time counselors and life guards,” Matthews said.
The officials discussed “shifting” some of the part-time employees at the Natatorium, but Matthews pointed out the building known as The Nat is required by state law to have lifeguards on duty any time the pool is open.
“I can save $24,000 by not being open on Saturdays,” Matthews offered as an alternative means of reducing costs. However, he pointed out, “That’s when all the parties are. That actually makes money.”
The Natatorium also receives money from families that participate in the summer and after-school programs.
Because the Natatorium’s incoming funds go into the general fund rather than accounted into the Natatorium’s fund, Matthews said he still needs to do further evaluation to determine how much cutting the programs will benefit the city’s coffers.
“It’s very difficult to understand, because of the way we do our accounting, what any department really spends and what it takes in,” Matthews said about the printouts produced by the city’s accounting software.
Matthews said when he has finished doing his analysis, he will return to the Council during a regular meeting or work session to discuss the programs before any decisions are made regarding the future of some of the Natatorium’s programs.

Former senator who represented the Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th Senate, Shehu Sani, has said suspended chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, ran the anti-graft agency like a cult.
Sani said this on his Facebook page on Wednesday to celebrate the arrest and trial of Magu.
The former senator, who is been prosecuted by the EFCC, accused Magu of using some officers to carry out wicked operations and report solely to him.
Sani’s post read, “Contrary to the facade you see from the outside, the EFCC has been run by an inside cult called “the Magu Boys” or “the Chairman Squad.
“They are a select cream of vicious and cruel officers who operate exclusively and with impunity and only report directly to their boss.
“The inside cult is the dark and immoral aspect of the agency engaged in persecution, blackmail, frame-ups, and cruelty.
“The cult has been the wheel behind the ordeal of their embattled Boss.
“Until they are rooted out from the agency also, I believe a lot of revelations will be coming out from other marginalized and honest officers in the so-called anti-corruption agency.”
Magu is currently being probed by a presidential panel over allegations of misconduct and corruption.
He was suspended by President Muhamadu Buhari on Tuesday, pending the outcome of the investigations.
The probe followed a memo to the president, sad to have been written by the Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.

I am writing this with a fair amount of frustration at the way the American public is treated by our government and elected officials! It seems that nothing the majority cares about is reflected in our government.
Example 1) Please show me a legitimate poll that shows a majority of the public believes in and supports the health-care bill that was passed this weeked by the House. There is none! Yet it was rammed down the throats of the public. I can guarantee you no one that voted for the bill has read it, or has even had a staff member read it! There just was not enough time. Granted it probably will not pass through the Senate and if it does it will be in a different form and will face another vote in reconciliation but still, it should not have passed! I anxiously await 2010!!
Example 2) Our General overseeing the war in Afghanistan has requested 60,000 more troops in order to fight the war in a proper manner. The White House is leaning towards a middle ground of 30,000. People, in a war like this there is no middle ground!! Either bring the troops home, or give the amount of troops the General has requested in order to fight the war to victory. Obama does not know anything about military and should be listening to the military and not to the leftist liberals that paid his way to victory!
3) Obama can take a trip to Europe to try to get his hometown of Chicago the Olympics but he cant go to Germany for the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Berlin wall coming down. I’m sure there are many reasons why he will say he didn’t but most likely he didn’t want to hear a lot of stories about President Ronald Reagan, a complete opposite of Obama, who helped bring the wall down!
I could go on but the fact is our government does not care what we have to say or feel. They only care about attaining and maintaining power.
We must speak out and next year we must begin the process of taking back our government and our country.

When Type 2 Diabetes Treatment Fails, What’s Next?
Sometimes type 2 diabetes treatment comes up short in controlling your blood sugar. If that happens, take these steps to create a new treatment plan.
For most people, type 2 diabetes changes over time — even for those who follow their treatment plan exactly as directed. Diabetes is a progressive disease, meaning your diet, exercise, and medication needs will likely change with time. That doesn’t mean you did something wrong; shifting gears is a natural part of managing a changing chronic disease like type 2 diabetes.
Your diabetes care team can help you adjust your treatment plan and manage your blood sugar levels. If a change is needed, your doctor may adjust your current medication, add new diabetes medications, or suggest starting an insulin regimen.
Why Your Diabetes Treatment Plan May Change
There are a number of factors that can contribute to a decline in blood sugar control, says Margaret Powers, PhD, RD, CDE, who has served as president of healthcare and education for the American Diabetes Association and is a registered dietitian, certified diabetes instructor, and research scientist at the Park Nicollet Health Clinic in Minneapolis.
When type 2 diabetes first develops, you may be insulin resistant, which means you make a lot of insulin, but your body can’t use it effectively, Dr. Powers says. Then, over time, you make less insulin and become insulin deficient. “This is seen a lot, but it doesn’t happen overnight; it’s a gradual process,” says Powers. Other factors can also affect blood sugar, including a significant change in weight, activity level, or diet or starting a new medication, she says.
Stress can also impact your treatment. When you’re chronically stressed, your body produces hormones that might cause your blood sugar to rise. An additional illness or a major change like a divorce, job loss, or loved one’s death can cause prolonged stress, which can raise blood sugar.
Stressful life changes may also affect how well people take their medication, adds Susan Weiner, RDN, a certified diabetes educator in New York and the American Association of Diabetes Educators’ 2015 Educator of the Year. “Before, there may have been someone who helped motivate and support the person with diabetes. And daily diabetes self-management can be challenging even under the best of circumstances,” she says.
If you need to change things up, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll need to adjust your medication regimen. It may just be a matter of refocusing on your food and activity plan, as well as reducing stress.
Consider taking these steps to get your type 2 diabetes treatment back on track.
Monitor your blood sugar and A1C levels to gauge treatment success
An A1C test measures your average blood glucose (sugar) levels over the past three months. It’s the test that’s used to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes and also to help track and manage the condition. Your results are reported with a percentage.
Generally speaking, a reading of less than 7 percent is usually optimal to prevent type 2 diabetes complications. Your target may be higher or lower, so be sure to talk to your diabetes care team about your personal A1C goal.
While A1C tests are a good indicator of how well treatment is working overall, Powers explains that the A1C reflects an average. That means you could actually be experiencing many highs and lows, depending on what you eat and whether you exercise, even if your A1C result seems normal.
That’s why at-home blood sugar testing as prescribed by your doctor is also important. Regular monitoring shows your blood sugar levels on a day-to-day basis. If your numbers aren’t consistently within your target range, you may need a change in treatment.
Most people with diabetes should see their doctors about every three to four months to get their A1C, blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels checked and to reevaluate their treatment plan as necessary. You may need to see your doctor more or less frequently, depending on your treatment plan and blood sugar control. According to Powers, there are four critical times to have your diabetes self-management plan assessed:
- When you are newly diagnosed
- When complicating factors occur
- When you have transitions in care
There are many factors that can affect your A1C, so it’s important to review your diabetes management plan regularly so you don’t miss the opportunity to do what’s best for you.
Keep up with healthy lifestyle changes
Anyone who’s started a new diet or exercise program knows sticking to it for the long haul is often the most challenging part. But it’s essential to maintain lifestyle changes to get the best diabetes control, says Powers. Even diabetes medications, she says, won’t work on their own.
Important lifestyle changes to manage your diabetes include:
- Eating a healthy diet to keep your blood sugar levels stable, with the help of your diabetes educator or a registered dietitian. While there is no one-size-fits-all diet, for most people it means cutting back on calories and saturated fats; reducing carbohydrates and distributing them evenly throughout the day; and bumping up your intake of vegetables, fruits, and other high-fiber foods.
- Getting more physical activity, which helps lower blood sugar. Aim for 30 to 60 minutes most days of the week — everything from walking and gardening to swimming and biking — and combine that with two days of resistance training, such as weight lifting or yoga, for the best results.
- Losing weight, which also helps lower blood sugar levels. Even 5 to 10 pounds can make a difference.
Work with your doctor to adjust treatment as needed
While some people with diabetes can manage their blood sugar with lifestyle changes, including losing weight, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly, many others require diabetes medications. Metformin is a typical first medication for people with type 2 diabetes, says Powers. It works by decreasing the amount of sugar the liver produces and making muscle cells more sensitive to insulin so sugar can be absorbed.
If metformin no longer works for you, your doctor may add another drug to your treatment plan. “But there’s no magical second drug; the secondary options will depend on the individual,” she says.
Your doctor may prescribe other oral medications or noninsulin injectables. There are several different classes of diabetes medications that work to lower blood sugar in different ways. For instance, some trigger the pancreas to release more insulin, while others work in the intestines to block the breakdown of some carbohydrates or in the kidneys to increase the amount of sugar excreted in urine. Your doctor may suggest adding one or more of these to your medication plan. You’ll know your new medication is working if your A1C numbers shift down toward your goal.
If you’ve had type 2 diabetes for many years, there may come a time when the medications you’ve been taking and lifestyle changes you’ve made might not work anymore. As a result, insulin injections may be needed in people whose A1C numbers are very high, Powers says. Keep in mind that although insulin therapy used to be added only when other medications weren’t working, it’s sometimes started earlier these days for people with type 2 diabetes.
“Work with your healthcare provider, who will be able to recommend the best way to adjust your medications and insulin dosage so you can continue to properly manage your type 2 diabetes,” she says.
Stay positive when your type 2 diabetes changes
“Don’t feel like you’re in this alone,” Weiner says. Reach out to a friend, family member, healthcare provider, or certified diabetes educator for support.
Additionally, take measures to manage stress. “Recharge and do something you enjoy: Take a walk, cuddle a pet, listen to music, or treat yourself to a massage,” she says.

ROEQ has launched two top modules and accompanying accessories designed to boost the payload and lifting capabilities of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) from MiR. The ROEQ TMS-C1500 allows MiR AMRs to transport up to 1500 kg for the first time.
Widespread labor shortages and phenomenal growth in the online retail sector places enormous pressure on warehouse, logistics, and manufacturing facilities to maximize their existing automation investments. Increasing throughput and productivity for goods transportation applications means doing more with less.
By boosting autonomous mobile robot AMR payload capabilities and adding flexibility to lifting applications, two newly launched top module products and accompanying accessories from pioneering MRE specialists ROEQ enable users to achieve their productivity goals and overcome labor shortages while avoiding the need to make massive additional capital investments in automation.

(Cal students working on a startup at the school’s SkyDeck accelerator.)
UC Berkeley’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology (CET) recently brought together a bunch of startups, including VIRES, for a pitch contest before a panel of judges comprised of venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, and university faculty. Also in the mix were Chinese teams from the Tsinghua-Berkeley Global Technology Entrepreneurship Program (GTE). Tsinghua alums include a range of top Chinese government officials and industry captains.
Ken Singer, managing director of the Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology (CET), offers his perspective: “Unique among university programs, CET is part of the engineering school and not the business school. Business schools tend to be oriented towards the study of ‘making money.’ The discipline of engineering is oriented towards ‘building’ or ‘creating’ something tangible. This informs the way CET educates its students–practical, experiential, applied. The result: a proven pedagogy called ‘The Berkeley Method’ that has attracted students from around the world and has been successfully syndicated to China.”
Ken adds: “Signature elements of the CET program: (1) All instructors are practitioners (not just academics). (2) Classes are open to students of ALL academic backgrounds. CET believes entrepreneurship is a multi-disciplinary sport. (3) We are competition-driven: All advanced courses require students to form teams to compete for highly coveted rewards–trips to Barcelona, office space, investment money.”

Lincolnshire audiologist sets up practice after withdrawal of NHS ear wax removal service.
Philippa Page has opened Sofina Ear Care in Fulstow to serve Louth and surrounding towns and villages and bridge the gap in the service.
Government minister Edward Argar announced in September last year that people suffering from a build-up of ear wax were no longer entitled to have their ears syringed on the NHS in England.
However, he said if the wax was linked to hearing loss GPs could refer sufferers to "audiology services," which can provide hearing aids.
Nationally this decision is being challenged with groups lobbying parliament.
The build-up of ear wax can lead to a number of health conditions, explained Philippa.
"I am a Local NHS Audiologist and through my work have seen a growing number of people suffering with blocked ears and struggling to get them cleared," she said.
"A wax blocked ear can be very uncomfortable and cause a temporary hearing loss, dizziness and tinnitus. Wax can also cause hearing aids to whistle and be ineffective Speak to anyone who has suffered from it and its far more debilitating than you may originally think
"Across Lincolnshire some GP practices have grouped together and are providing a service for ear wax removal- but not all.
"Covid 19 and its disruption to medical services has also had a big impact and even where a practice still offers the service patients can be sitting on a waiting list for weeks.
"In some cases people are referred to ENT at a hospital and then the wait can extend to months. All this is putting pressure on what are already overstretched NHS services.
Sofina Ear Care offers wax removal services. "I use my 30 years experience as a hospital- based audiologist to provide Microsuction, irrigation and instrumentation ear wax removal," continued Philippa. "I am still working as Senior Audiologist for the NHS locally andam fully-qualified, registered and insured Ear Wax Removal.
"Unlike some other ear wax removal providers I do not sell hearing aids so people can be reassured there will be no pressure sales. I am soley here to clear ear wax but I am always happy chat through hearing concerns, share my knowledge and experience and give unbiased advice on ear and hearing care.
"I am dedicated to giving people a good experience at Sofina Ear Care and am passionate about people getting the best quality of life they can.
"Patents are seen in a comfortable private consultation room with ample free parking, everyone receives a detailed consultation regarding their ear health and then are offered ear wax removal and/or hearing tests as appropriate. Before and after photos are taken so people can see the improvement as well as feel it! A flat fee for wax removal is charged whether one or both ears need clearing.
"Whilst not everyone can afford to or will want to pay for a service that used to be readily available and free on the NHS."
"So for people wanting to have their comfort and clarity restored quickly and easily Sofina Ear Care is an accessible alternative"

The fixtures are centered at X±70.0 mm / Y=0.0 from the G54 workspace coordinate origin dead-center in the middle of the platform, with G55 centered on the HD fixture to the left and G56 on the CD fixture to the right.
So the engraving workflow amounts to homing the CNC 3018 when I turn it on, taping a platter in a fixture, selecting the corresponding WCS, loading a suitable G-Code file, and firing it off. It seems bCNC returns to G54 after completing the file, so verifying the WCS selection every time is Very Good Practice.
The friable lacquer coating on some CDs fills my world with glitter whenever I engrave a pattern on their label side. I didn’t plan on a dust shoe for this thing!
A strip of double-sided foam tape attaches it to the Pi’s case, which is Velcro-ed to the M2’s frame. The cable may be too long, but avoids sharp bends on the way out of the case.
The whole lashup works fine:
That’s a second set intended for the CNC 3018-Pro, but it didn’t fit quite as well. The B brackets are slightly too long (or their pivots are slightly too close to their base) to allow the C plates to turn 90° to the mount:
Nothing one can’t fix with nibbling & filing, but I long for parametric designs …
The small T in the upper right corner marks the receiving coil location, with the coil oriented parallel to the body’s long axis. It’s the secondary winding of an air-core transformer with a single-turn (perhaps using Litz wire) primary embedded in the floor, with the induced voltage obeying the usual transformer equation:
For a given installation and receiver position, pretty much everything is fixed, with the voltage depending only on the H field caused by the primary winding current.
The induced voltage is linearly dependent on the frequency, but the transmitter equalization filters apparently flatten the spectrum to get equal receiver amplitude between about 100 Hz and 5 kHz.
The coil in that picture has nine turns, with four passing through the Tek current probe. Applying 10 mVpp to the winding produces a corresponding current:
The scope sees 14 mVpp = 1.4 div at 1 mA/div = 1.4 mA. Dividing by 4 turns means the coil actually carryes 350 µA. The signal generator has a 50 Ω output impedance, so 10 mV should produce about 200 µA, which seems a bit low. On the other paw, the signal generator sees the coil as a dead short at 1 kHz, so I don’t trust the numbers.
Whatever magnetic flux it may be produces a 1 kHz tone at a somewhat higher volume (for the same receiver setting) than the fancy Vassar loops, so the flux is in the right ballpark. With a bit more attention to detail, perhaps I can tinker up a current-mode loop drive amplifier.
The Alead receiver has an internally generated tick audible at the audio volume I need for the Vassar loops, which is 5 to 7 steps down from the maximum volume at 15 steps. It seems related to the internal Bluetooth hardware, although it’s present even when the receiver is not paired with my Pixel phone and, in fact, is unchanged even when 100 feet from the nearest electronic device.
When I reported the problem, they said:
Yes, you can hear very minor tick sound on telecoil mode. It is caused by some electronic and current to make those tick sound. Sorry for this defective on the design.
It had one job that it doesn’t do well, so it’s on the way back for a refund.
Evidently, I must build an audio loop receiver to get what I want …

CHARLES TUMINO ILLUSTRATION | The Mississippi Delta, the cradle of the blues, brought here from Africa, and Highway 61, the well-traveled pilgrimage route through the Delta. Sylvester Manor is celebrating the music the weekend of February 28.
Before it went north from the Mississippi Delta to go electric in Chicago, before it had a baby named Rock ‘n Roll, long before it came out of fields, cabins, shanties and Saturday night juke joints, and much longer before Bob Dylan revisited Highway 61, the origins of the blues were carried by enslaved people from West Africa to the New World in ships.

Police clashed with Arab protesters at several flashpoints in Yerushalayim Monday evening as Muslims protested the installation of metal detectors at the entrance to Har Habayis following the murder of two Israeli police officers last Friday. Demonstrators threw rocks, Molotov cocktails and shot firecrackers at security forces south of Har Habayis in the Silwan neighborhood, as well as across town at the entrance to the Arab neighborhood of Isawiyya. In both locations, dozens of masked youth marched on security forces, also throwing stones and Molotov cocktails. Police said that officers on site responded with riot-dispersal techniques.
Some media reported that people were wounded in the disturbances, but police spokespeople could not confirm that information.
In addition, Palestinian media reports that Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah group called Wednesday for a “Day of Rage,” although it was not clear when the protest would be held. Days of Rage were a hallmark of Palestinian protests during the first intifada, from 1987-1993, often held on Fridays, to maximize clashes with Israeli security forces, especially at the Har Habayis.
The protests follow the killings of Ha’il Satawi and Kamil Shnaan, who were shot dead at Lion’s Gate on May 14 by three Israeli Arabs exiting the Mount. Israel closed the site entirely following the attack and announced a series of new security measures for people entering the compound.
But Islamic officials in the Palestinian Authority and Israel say they will not submit to the new arrangements, calling it “collective punishment and a violation of the status quo at the site.”
“I’m not prepared to submit to security measures, because the Haram al-Sharif is under occupation,” said Sheikh Kamel Rayan, head of the Islamic al-Aqsa Association and of the southern branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel using the Arabic-name for Har Habayis. In an interview with Tazpit Press Service (TPS), Rayan denounced Friday’s attack unequivocally, but also criticized Israel for “stealing” the keys to the Temple Mount gates and for treating the site as a “synagogue.” Rayan also said that Israel’s acts like it is doing Muslims a favor by letting them pray at al-Aqsa Mosque, but stressed that the Arab community does not view freedom of religion as a favor.
“Let me stress – the incident on Friday was infuriating, degraded, doesn’t represent Muslims, doesn’t represent us. It was the height of our humiliation,” Rayan said in a phone interview.
“I’m not prepared to submit to security measures, because the Haram al-Sharif is under occupation. The Israeli State claims it is disputed, but there is also something called the status quo, as well as international agreement that this place is not under Israeli administration… the fact is that the site is occupied. The fact is that the international community sees Jordan as the administrative power there. The fact is that there is a status quo.
“The State has the right to limit people from coming to the site according to their age or times that they can come. It’s a mosque, and I want to go to the mosque whenever I want. The state shouldn’t prevent people from entering,” Rayan said.

This is a story about three siblings. Like any family, sometimes they don’t get along.
It’s a story about a secret that they’ve all kept since they were children.
It’s a story about lying. A story about murder.
It’s a story where only one can win.
Beth, Portia, and Eddie Morgan haven’t all been together in years.
And for very good reasons we’ll get to those later. But when their wealthy grandfather dies and leaves a cryptic final message in his wake, the siblings and their respective partners must come together for a cross-country road trip to fulfill his final wish and more importantly secure their inheritance.
About the Author:
Samantha Downing is the author of the Edgar Award-nominated novel My Lovely Wife. Amazon Studios and Nicole Kidman’s Blossom Films have partnered to produce a feature film based on the novel.
Her next book is called He Started It and will be released in 2020. She currently lives in New Orleans, where she is furiously typing away on her next novel.
Firstly I need to say that I absolutely loved and adored Samantha Downing’s debut novel My Lovely Wife (read my review here) so when I saw she has a new book out I was very, very, very excited.
He Started It features the most messed up, dysfunctional, despicable family you will EVER meet and I absolutely LOVED them. Beth is our main narrator and I was completely smitten within the first few chapters. Some may consider her slightly bat-shit crazy, but I loved her dead-pan, dark humour and every now and then she speaks directly to the reader which tickled me!
Beth is the middle child, she has one older brother Eddie (also known as an ass-hole) and one younger sister Portia who is pretty messed up and spends most of her time stripping or drinking. When their grandfather dies he leaves a fortune to them, but in order to claim their inheritance they need to get together and complete a two week road-trip across America and believe me this really is the road-trip from hell.
The story is told over two timelines, both narrated by Beth – the first in 1999 when the siblings and Grandfather went on the original road trip across the States and then present day when the siblings are reunited with Grandpa’s ashes on this final road trip to claim their inheritance.
I raced through the story and devoured each page – there were some really dark and sad moments and some absolute OMG scenes too and I was pretty confident I knew where the story was taking me… BUT obviously someone unplugged my SatNav as the ending did surprise me and slightly disappoint me which is why I can’t give this the full 5 stars I wanted. However, despite that minor speedbump in the road He Started It is a very entertaining thriller and I look forward to reading many more books by Samantha Downing.

Excerpt: Ghostbusters: The Video Game does exactly what you expect from a moviegame: it’s fun, accessible and brings the atmosphere, the characters and the fan favorites from the movies to life in an interactive way.
Conclusion: Recapturing the look and atmosphere of the movies to perfection, it’s impossible not to be completely endeared by Ghostbusters: The Video Game. The narrative penned by Aykroyd and Ramis remains suitably compelling and entertaining throughout and the strength of the gameplay mechanics aided by tight,...
Excerpt: cto 1 blasts through the streets of Midtown Manhattan, sirens wailing and lights flashing; familiar theme music thumps out in stereo; voice actors sound uncannily like Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson (because they are); the one-liners fly with the rapidity of machine gun...
Conclusion: Overall, Atari and developer Terminal Reality went all out to make this experience as good as it gets. While asthetics of the game could have been improved, it did end up being a good experience overall.
Conclusion: Ghostbusters is the game we’ve waited for, and given a little more time, this ambitious title would be an instant classic. However, for any Ghostbusters fan, this game is a no brainer. Here’s hoping they fix multiplayer!
Summary: Equipped with a variety of unique weapons and gadgets, players will hunt, fight and capture a wide range of supernatural villains in a funny and frightening battle to save New York City from its latest paranormal plague.
Excerpt: Although fans of the Ghostbusters movies were never treated to a third film, gamers can now play the official follow-up of the second movie which begins in 1991 and reunites the original actors to voice these characters.
Excerpt: As anyone who knows me can probably guess, I’m a huge Ghostbusters fan. I’ve loved the movies since I first saw the original when I was just a kid, and the series has remained one of my alltime favorites.

Growing up in a rural area of Uganda, Segawa Wasswa knew very early on that he was different from the other kids in his community. Wasswa was born with severe hemophilia A but he never knew it. In fact, his brother and two uncles had all died from complications related to hemophilia but none of them had even heard of the condition let alone received a diagnosis.
The situation in Uganda for people with a bleeding disorder has always been challenging, but in 2012, the Ugandan Haemophilia Foundation (UHF) joined the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH), taking an important step to improving care in the country.
Since then, the UHF has taken steps to improve care within the country by attending several workshops, as well as a productive Twinning partnership with the Great Ormond Street Hospital from London, United Kingdom. The UHF has worked very hard towards improving diagnosis and care for people with bleeding disorders but there are still many challenges ahead for this African nation.
These challenges are perfectly illustrated by the case of young Segawa. It was not until the age of 12, after suffering a painful knee bleed in 2013 that he was brought to a rehabilitation care unit for children with bone disabilities. Doctors at this centre misdiagnosed him with a bone disease and proceeded to perform orthopedic surgery on his knee without any clotting factor concentrates. Luckily he survived the surgery but his condition only worsened.
Fearing the worst, the rehabilitation centre transferred Segawa to Mulago Hospital in Kampala, where he was tested and finally received the proper diagnosis of severe hemophilia A.
Segawa’s condition was reported to the UHF, who was able, through the WFH Humanitarian Program, to provide him with the factor concentrates he needed to survive. The only problem that remains for him and his family is getting enough money to pay to travel from his rural village to the city where the treatment is available.
The situation on the ground for people with a bleeding disorder in Uganda is less than perfect, but every day that passes it improves. With assistance from the WFH, the UHF is providing proper training to people in the field and the WFH Humanitarian Aid Program ensures that in cases like Wasswa, that there is treatment available where there was none before.
The WFH Humanitarian Aid Program channels donations of life-saving treatment products to people with bleeding disorders who need them all around the world. This program is one of the many ways in which the organization supports its vision of Treatment for All.

Fish N’ Chips is a common dish in Malaysia. You can find it in almost every Western restaurant, but most of the time it is a disappointment.

Zayas and Her Sisters, 2
Essays on Novelas by 17th-Century Spanish Women
A collection of essays on the novelist María de Zayas and other seventeenth century Spanish women writers.
This collection of essays is designed to initiate further critical consideration of the women novelistas, their work, and their individual prose tales, and to support an inclusive panorama of literary theories ranging from the more traditional approaches to psychoanalytical perspectives, queer theory, and feminist theory and geography, to enumerate a few. The original essays include one primarily dedicated to each of the novelas by Zayas (from her Novelas amorosas: La burlada Aminta, El prevenido engañado, Al fin se paga todo, and El jardín engañoso; and from her Desengaños amorosos: Tarde llega el desengaño, La inocencia castigada, Amar sólo por vencer, and Mal presagio casar lejos) and Carvajal (La Venus de Ferrara, El esclavode su esclavo, and Amar sin saber a quién) included in the anthology, and two apiece on Meneses's single novela corta, and Abarca de Bolea and her prose narratives. Any overlap of mention between the individual essays is unavoidable, as can perhaps best be illustrated by the two additional studies in this volume which attain a broader comparative scope, while still respecting the guiding parameter of a focus dedicated to these women writers and their novelas. The component essays stand alone, yet they are similar as well—united by the bonds and purpose of original critical inquiry and continuing discussion. The editors strive to always discern the differences, indeed the individuality of each woman novelista, all the while acknowledging their shared bond of sisterhood—that of facing the hegemony of the patriarchal socio-literary traditions of Golden Age Spain, albeit each escritora in and after her own fashion. A brief overview of their respective lives and works, while signaling further shared socio-literary commonalities, will serve to highlight the novelty of each escritora in her own right and within, or perhaps against, the literary genre of the novela corta and the socio-literary sphere of seventeenth century Spain.


The diode-pumped, actively Q-switched nanosecond laser NL210 delivers up to 10 mJ at 3 - 4 ns at a 1 kHz repetition rate. Optionally, temperature stabilized second, third and fourth harmonic generators are available. The built-in water-to-air chiller eliminates the need for external cooling. Short pulse duration, high energy and close to TEM00 beam profile make this laser suitable for many different applications.

NL210 series diode pumped Q-switched lasers produce up to 10 mJ at 1000 Hz pulse repetition rate. The laser is designed to produce high intensity, high brightness pulses and is targeted for applications like OPO pumping, nonlinear spectroscopy, material ablation, micromachining, and other tasks.
Employing electro-optical type of the cavity dumping, the master oscillator can produce pulses with a short pulse duration of 3 – 4 ns, the uniform beam profile and low divergence. The M² factor of the beam is typically between 3 – 4. Laser cooling uses a closed loop chiller, thus eliminating the need for external cooling water, and reducing running costs.
Angle-tuned LBO and/or BBO crystals mounted in temperature stabilized heaters are used for optional second, third or fourth harmonic generation. The harmonic separation system is designed to ensure a high spectral purity of radiation directed to separate output ports.
For customer convenience the laser can be controlled from a remote control pad or USB interface. The remote pad allows easy control of all parameters and features a backlit display that is easy to read even wearing laser safety eyewear. Alternatively, the laser can be controlled from a personal computer with supplied software for a Windows™ operating system. LabVIEW™ drivers are supplied as well.

Now here’s something you don’t see every day. There’s a house at the corner of Kungsgatan and Norra Esplanaden in Växjö I just love taking pictures of, since the front door is ornate, with elaborate Fin de Siècle metal-work. The owners put out a small Christmas tree on their front steps every year, so I finally made time to stop there one day and focus on their tree. The star at the top of their little tree is just so delightfully wonky.
However, it looks more interesting with Photoshop effects, I thought, which make the whole Christmas theme much more surreal and modernist. I think this is at least part of what I think of as the Swedish aesthetic—the juxtaposition of casual on formal; simple, bright colors; and a little old-fashioned charm thrown in for good measure.

Program to include indoor instruction and outdoor tour
Writer: Robert Burns, 903-834-6191, firstname.lastname@example.org
LAMPASAS — The Lampasas River Watershed Partnership will host the “Proper Functioning Condition Riparian Workshop” Nov. 17 at the Lampasas County Farm Bureau, 1793 N. U.S. Highway 281 in Lampasas.
The program is free and open to the public, with registration starting at 8 a.m. and programming from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The program will consist of inside talks and field instruction along Sulphur Creek, said Lisa Prcin, research associate with Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Temple.
“Lunch will be on your own,” Prcin said. “As time will be limited for lunch stops after the inside instruction, it might be a good idea to bring a sack lunch.”
“The workshop will help landowners and land managers learn to assess riparian and wetland conditions, and will offer three continuing education units for holders of Texas Department of Agriculture private pesticide applicator licenses,” Prcin said.
Those planning to attend should contact Prcin at 254-774-6008 or email@example.com by Nov. 13. The workshop’s full agenda and a map to the site are available at http://www.lampasasriver.org.
Presentations will be conducted by U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service personnel and hosted by the Lampasas River Watershed Partnership and AgriLife Research, she said.
“Be prepared for the possibility of chiggers and/or ticks,” said Ricky Linex, USDA-NRCS wildlife biologist at Weatherford. “Wear long pants, sturdy shoes, sunscreen and a hat. We will be walking adjacent to and in the creek with some rough ground to cross. A walking stick will come in handy for navigating the terrain.”
In the morning inside sessions, participants will learn the basic interaction of hydrology, erosion and vegetation for Central Texas creeks and rivers, Prcin said. The afternoon session will move to the Lilley Ranch on Sulphur Creek to allow participants to see the riparian issues in a real-life environment.
“Among topics to be covered are channels, floodplains, water table, vegetation, base flow, flood flow, sediment and how these things in combination are what make up the riparian area,” she said.
The Lampasas River Watershed Partnership is a collaborative effort by local stakeholders, AgriLife Research and the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board.
Funding and support for the Lampasas Watershed Protection Plan is provided through a Clean Water Act nonpoint source grant from the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.


Opera Australia look set to win big, with a total of 27 nominations across Opera and Music Theatre categories.
Opera Australia has earned an impressive 27 nominations for the 2015 Helmpann Awards, with the company’s latest musical theatre offering, Anything Goes, now showing in Melbourne, leading the tally with nine nods. OA’s new children’s opera The Rabbits, written by Kate Miller-Heidke and co-commissioned with Barking Gecko Theatre Company and West Australian Opera, was also highly lauded, with seven nominations. The production opened to critical acclaim at the Perth International Arts Festival in January and will open in October at the Melbourne Festival. Hot on the heels of Anything Goes, the musical theatre smash-hit of 2015, Les Misérables, also raked in a sizeable number of nominations with eight nods in the Musical Theatre categories.
Director David McVicar secured an impressive two nominations in the Best Director of an Opera category for Opera Australia’s productions of Don Giovanni and Faust. Faust was also recognised in four other categories: Nicole Car nominated for Best Female Performer in an Opera, Teddy Tahu Rhodes nominated for Best Supporting Male Performer in an Opera, Michael Fabiano for Best Male Performer in an Opera, and Best Opera. Opera Australia’s Don Giovanni was also highly praised with five nominations including two nominations in the Best Supporting Female Performer category for Nicole Car and Taryn Fiebig. Teddy Tahu Rhodes and Shane Lowrencev were nominated for Best Male Performer and Best Supporting Male Performer respectively for their turns in Don Giovanni. The other big Opera winner in this year’s nominations was Brisbane Baroque’s Faramondo, which earned six nods, including the coveted Best Opera award and Best Director (Paul Curran). This year’s Handa Opera on the Harbour production of Aida, one of Opera Australia’s most ambitious undertakings in 2015, registered a disappointing result with just a single nomination, in the Best Female Performer category for Latonia Moore.
Imported Classical acts dominated the Best Chamber and/or Instrumental Ensemble Performance category, with nominations for French early music specialists Les Arts Florissants, British vocal group The Sixteen, and British-born pianist Stephan Hough, who became an Australian citizen in 2005. Australian ensemble the Goldner String Quartet, were also recognised in this award for their 20th anniversary celebrations presented by Musica Viva Australia. Australian’s were entirely absent from The Best Individual Classical Performance nominations, with American’s Emanuel Ax and William Christie, German violinist Christian Tetzlaff and the Israeli Chief Conductor of the West Australian Symphony Orchestra Asher Fisch making up the four nominees in that category.
Melbourne Symphony Orchestra earned two nods in the Best Symphony Orchestra Performance category, for their presentations of the Damnation of Faust and Mahler’s Symphony No. 3. The other two nominations for this award went to chamber scale orchestras – the ACO for their Reflections on Gallipoli ANZAC centenary tribute, and Baroque specialists Tafelmusik – with the conspicuous absence of any of the country’s other state orchestras.
In the Ballet and Dance categories, Sydney Dance Company came out on top, with six nominations for its recent Frame of Mind programme. Australian Ballet, the only Ballet company to be recognised by the Helpmann’s this year, only secured a single nomination, for recently retired Principal Dancer Madelein Eastoe’s sublime performance in Giselle.
Sydney Theatre Company dominated in the Theatre categories, with 12 nominations in total. Five of those were in recognition of the company’s production of Samuel Beckett’s Endgame, with a nod for Best Direction (Andrew Upton) and performance nominations for three of the plays four actors: Hugo Weaving, Bruce Spence and Sarah Peirse. Belvoir St Theatre were also highly recognised with five nominations including Best Play for the company’s production of The Glass Menagerie, however Melbourne Theatre Company were only able to secure a single nomination, for Julie Forsyth’s Supporting Actress Performance as Nell in their production of Endgame.
The Helpmann Awards Ceremony takes place at the Captiol Theatre in Sydney on July 27. A full list of the 2015’s nominees can be found on the Helpmann Awards website.

A Mount Sinai School of Medicine study presented at the November 2014 American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions stated that fatigue, irritability, and demoralization can increase the risk of first time cardiovascular disease by 36%. This is known as "vital exhaustion." In Japan this syndome is known as Karoshi and in general medicine there's a similar condition called "broken heart syndrome." These researchers reviewed eleven studies that studied the relationship between vital exhaustion and first-time heart disease that involved 60,000 people without disease at the beginning of the study.
As society becomes more goal driven and fast paced there's an increase in working hours and a lessening of sleep, exercise, and relaxation.

With recent news August' weather conditions are unlikely to improve for us, we have officially given up on summer and are looking ahead to the colder seasons.
It is time to think about warming, home-cooked meals, chunky knitwear and a glass of red wine by the fire.
And of course, for caffeine-lovers with a sweet tooth, Autumn means the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte.
For the uninitiated, this sweet, seasonal drink is available from Starbucks (and more recently other coffee shops) from around early September.
But as yet Starbucks have not released the date we will be able to get our hands on one of their most popular drinks.
Although rumours are circulating online - specifically the Reddit page for Starbucks - they will be officially in stores from September 15.
While the coffee chain usually have an official launch date for the drink being back in stock, most stores appear to start selling it as soon as the first delivery arrives.
Which means from the first few days of September it is worth asking if they are selling it, even if it is not yet advertised.
When Starbucks do release an official date for the PSL, we will update this story, and then rush out to buy one.

$50K student loan forgiveness would cancel debt of 84% of borrowers, Biden told
Armed with new data on what they’re calling America’s “student loan time bomb,” members of Congress and advocacy groups are turning up the heat on President Joe Biden to cancel as much as $50,000 in federal student loan debt for every borrower.
That would completely relieve the burden for 36 million people — 84% of all borrowers — now weighed down by college debt, according to fresh U.S. Department of Education numbers supplied to a Senate panel.
Biden has taken steps to forgive student loans for a relatively small number of borrowers, but Democrats in Congress are urging him to do more — and do it now. So are over 400 groups, in a letter to the president dated this week.Share:
