The UConn women’s lacrosse team secured their second win of the season under the lights of the Sherman Family Sports Complex on Tuesday night, and Lia LaPrise led the way.
The freshman midfielder from Windsor, Connecticut, came up huge in the 15-8 win over Bryant, recording an eight-point game with three goals and five assists. Following up a six-point game in Saturday’s game, LaPrise has tripled her season point total from seven to 21 in just the last two games.
“I think my confidence has been really up lately,” LaPrise said. “It’s really nerve wracking being a freshman on the field, but I think you just have to take it with a grain of salt and give it the best you can and if you get your chance, go out there and have fun.”
LaPrise got the Huskies started early, as she was involved in their first three goals, assisting on two and scoring. She was also involved in the last three UConn goals, scoring two and assisting on one. LaPrise served as both the opener and the closer of the game on the offensive end. She was a major reason why the Huskies recorded a season-high in goals on Tuesday night with 15.
Head coach Katie Woods talked about how well she got her teammates involved with the five assists.
“I think she puts the ball into space, which allows the [players] to run onto it,” Woods said. “She has great connections with certain people, so I think that also helps and they read her really well.”
LaPrise is now the team leader in assists with 13, and nine of those have come in the past two games. Her 21 points now rank third on the team behind Olivia Miles and Sydney Watson.
UConn’s defense played an impressive game all night, forcing nine turnovers in the game. The defense held Bryant to just 17 shots on goal, which is the lowest by any of UConn’s opponents this season by far. It is no surprise that the defense also allowed a season low in goals with eight.
Nobody benefitted from the great defense more than goaltender Grace Beshlian, who had her best game of the season in terms of goals allowed.
“I think our defense went out and really killed it,” Beshlian said. “We stuck to our game plan. We wanted high ball pressure, lots of communication, and we really worked together. We had a lot of help slides, which really made it easy to make a lot of stops.”
The combination of the stingiest defense this UConn team has played along with the unprecedented offensive production facilitated by LaPrise, gave the Huskies their most convincing win and best performance of the season.
It’s been a tough season to this point for the Huskies, but if they can show up on both ends of the field like they did against Bryant, they should be in much better shape moving forward.

John Evelyn refers to the both the Mountain of Oliveto and the Abbey situated on the peak./
Also know as the Territorial Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, The Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore is a large Benedictine monastery in the Italian region of Tuscany, 10 km south of Asciano. Its buildings, which are mostly of red brick, are conspicuous against the grey clayey and sandy soil—the Crete senesi which give this area of Tuscany its name. It is a territorial abbey whose abbot functions as the bishop of the land within the abbey’s possession, even though he is not consecrated as a bishop. It is the mother-house of the Olivetans and the monastery later took the name of Monte Oliveto Maggiore (“the greater”) to distinguish it from successive foundations at Florence, San Gimignano, Naples and elsewhere.

It Was, Perhaps, Inevitable
Partisan Review, the venerable and once authoritative literary and cultural journal established in 1934, is to be no more.
When I first hear the news, I tried to write something about it, but I wasn't satisfied with my early endeavors and so I put it aside. Thankfully, Peter Brooks, Sterling Professor of Comparative Literature at Yale University, apparently had no such trouble. His essay, "Partisan Requiem," in the May 26 issue of The Nation (pp. 36-37; the piece is not, or has not yet been, posted on the magazine's web site), is thorough and precise in its dissection of the quarterly's seemingly inevitable demise.
The announcement a few weeks ago that Partisan Review was closing shop after a run of nearly seventy years brought sadness -- since PR at its best was a central site of American cultural life -- but also a sense of inevitability. No one expected the journal to go on much longer after the death last year of its longtime editor William Phillips, who helped found it in 1934. Sadly, PR had been without vital signs for many years, its existence more and more a matter of cryonics.
Reviewing the state of PR circa 1993 and beyond, Brooks adds:
One senses increasing rigor mortis in attitude and in the prose. The move of PR to Boston University, presided over by the ultraconservative John Silber, was itself a bad sign….
One can't then mourn for the demise of PR such as it had become in its long moribundity. But its disappearance is significant, sad[,] and troubling as a sign of our present cultural state….
Probably no quarterly publication could now perform the work of cultural median, bringing high art and smart commentary to a general audience….The more important question may be whether there is any print medium that is willing to take on the strenuous exercises in literature, culture[,] and politics that once animated PR. Laying PR to rest makes us realize how long we've missed what it once did, and how long it's been since anyone else made the attempt.
During graduate school, while researching the history of liberal anti-communism, I spent many hours going through bound copies of PR from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, often finding myself pulled toward unrelated articles about art and music. At its peak, which includes the aforementioned three decades, PR was a truly remarkable journal, one by which all others were then -- and will in the future -- be judged. It was intelligent, relevant, uncompromising, often scathing in its criticism of literature, art, music, philosophy, and, of course, American politics.
But that was a long time ago -- both PR's peak decades and my graduate-school years -- and I share Brooks's observations about the journal's slide toward incoherence and irrelevance (though I don't think PR moved as much to the right as Brooks implies or states). Occasionally I would pick up a copy on a newsstand and more often than not would find disappointing the essays within its covers.
I doubt there ever again will be a literary journal like PR at its best, for as Brooks asks, does an audience for such a quarterly exist anymore?The Rittenhouse Review | Copyright 2002-2006 | PERMALINK |

StepAhead Australia Limited* – Conference Summary 2011
(*Lions Australia partnership)
From Lions PR – Diane Michael
StepAhead Australia’s Annual Scientific Conference was held at St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne on 30 November and 1 December 2011.
As their marquee event for the year, it proved to be an outstanding meeting gathering together a world-class faculty of researchers who are at the cutting edge of research with speakers from North America, Argentina, Italy, Thailand, Japan, New Zealand and Australia.
As in other years the theme of the conference was on treating and repairing the chronic injured spinal cord.
From their official report:
‘Behind this theme is reflected our understanding of spinal cord injury and where the biomedical research community sits in regards to its knowledge of what occurs following damage to the cord. Remarkable advances have been made in the last decade towards our understanding of the structural, biomedical and genetic changes that occur after injury to the mature brain and spinal cord. This now puts us in the envious position to intervene to improve outcomes and develop meaningful treatments and even eventually cures. We now feel that we are able to approach this complex problem in the same manner in which an engineer approaches an engineering problem. The tools and knowledge have accumulated to the point where we now have the means to design and apply approaches that will allow us to re-engineer the damage spinal cord.’
FACTS & FIGURES
Spinal cord injury affects approximately 20,000 Australians, with approximately 300 new cases each year (2008: 137 paraplegic and 136 quadriplegic new patients). Spinal cord injury patients suffer loss of motor function (movements of arms and legs), loss of autonomic function (control of bladder, bowel and sexual function) and secondary problems such as chronic ulcers and infections.
The mean age of injury is 19 years with five out of six being male patients. The psychological cost to the patient is often devastating and the incidence of suicide amongst SCI patient is five times higher than the general population.
The cost to the patient’s family is often overwhelming and the rate of marital break-up is reportedly up to 50%, significantly higher than that of the normal population.
The cost to society is profound. In Australia, (2008) health care costs for SCI is approximately $2 billion or 2% of total healthcare expenditure. These costs are borne by State Government (44%), individuals (40.5%) and Federal Government (10.6%). Lifetime costs are $5 million per case of paraplegia and $9.5 million per case of quadriplegia.
Despite this desolate situation, the application of funds to find a cure for spinal cord injury is minimal. Australian Government grants for SCI research (total NHMRC research funding 2000-2008) represents 0.7% of the total research budget whereas, research on all cancers, which account for 5.8% of health care budget is funded to a level of 22.5% of the total federal research budget. That is, on a pro-rata basis to total health care costs, research funding for SCI is one tenth of that spent on cancer research. Funding of research into SCI by major pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies is also minimal.
A consequence of this deplorable situation is that patients suffering from chronic SCI have become the prey of stem cell tourism.
After the Conference some of the attendees spent time at the beautiful farmhouse of StepAhead founders George and Barbara Owen where they formalised the creation of new collaborations and friendships that will stimulate and jump-start new avenues of research directed towards repairing the chronic injury spinal cord (photo above).
“Today we need dogged researchers who will prove the value of new therapies in spinal cord injury. Thanks to their efforts today, our grandchildren will look back and be aghast that there was once a time when a spinally-injured person was told that medicine had nothing to offer them,” Dr.George Owen.
*Lions Clubs of Australia
Dr George Owen the founder of StepAhead, approached a Lions Club in 1999 looking for a donation to help the fledgling Spinal Cord Society of Australia Inc. in its search for a cure. This Club was so moved that it not only donated to the cause, it took the story to a larger audience. Within 12 months Lions had created the Lions Australia Spinal Cord Fellowship as a National project of Lion, giving all 1400 Lions Clubs across Australia the opportunity to raise funds for research into spinal cord repair.
Lions Clubs individually conduct many and varied activities in an effort to raise funds for this project including. Sausage sizzles, Trash & Treasure sales and Fun Runs. These events along with the national recycling effort involving the collection of aluminium can ring pulls are just some of the ways the Lions Clubs of Australia raise more than $100,000 per year in support of StepAhead.
NB: Over the last five years, StepAhead has also successfully raised additional funds in Australia and forged a network that includes some of the world’s leading spinal cord researchers and clinicians. It is recognised by the Federal Government as the peak body responsible for coordinating research into chronic spinal cord injury.

Treating most COVID-19 nasal symptoms is similar to treatment for symptoms from other causes, although there have been some new advances. Dr. Lee and colleagues are currently investigating the use of a 1% betadine nasal spray and oropharyngeal gargle for COVID-19 patients to mitigate infection and potentially shorten illness duration and severity. Patients self-administer the spray into each side of their nose and then gargle with the medication in the oropharyngeal cavity. “If proven effective in mitigating viral load in infected patients, topical betadine as an outpatient treatment method early in a patient’s disease course may help decrease transmission of COVID-19,” he said.
Explore This IssueDecember 2020
In a study of 100 COVID-19 patients, Dr. Doty found that two-thirds of those who received an objective smell test fully regained their smell function in six to eight weeks, although a few recovered spontaneously in a few weeks (Int Forum Allergy Rhinol. 2020;10:1127-1135). “Recovery likely depends upon the severity of the viral impact,” he said. All patients were tested after treatments for COVID-19 and were in the process of leaving the hospital to go home.
Although fatigue can set in when wearing masks and face shields, and practicing within these new restrictions can feel tedious, it’s important to ensure that practices aren’t the source of infection. —Zara M. Patel, MD
While sense of smell returned completely in approximately 70% of Dr. Sedaghat’s patients, with most of the remainder having at least some recovery, some took weeks or months to achieve this result. With continued follow-up, he expects the number of patients with complete recovery to increase.
No literature has been published to date that supports any methodology for treating patients with anosmia caused by COVID-19. However, some otolaryngologists are conducting clinical trials to evaluate certain methodologies. Another option is to recommend treatment based on one’s experience with other complications from viral infections, Dr. Jones said.
For example, Dr. Jones advises patients take 2,000 mg of omega-3 per day, in addition to olfactory training, to aid in the recovery process after having COVID-19. A current study is investigating the use of 1,000 mg of omega-3 fatty acid twice daily to treat the effects of anosmia and parosmia associated with COVID-19 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04495816). In addition, she encourages patients to take zinc, as well as vitamins D and C, all common natural treatments for upper respiratory infections.
Dr. Jones also recommends starting olfactory training—which should include citrus, mint, floral, and spicy smells—as soon as a patient can tolerate it. Dr. Jones’ patients sniff essential oils on a paper towel twice daily. If a smell is too noxious, she’ll advise them to stop for two to three weeks and then try to reintroduce it.
Dr. Lee is also a proponent of olfactory training to aid with recovery of smell loss after viral inflammation by spurring nerve regeneration. She advises patients to sniff four scents, including lemon, cloves, eucalyptus, and rose, as essential oils in glass vials. They should breathe normally and imagine what a lemon smells and tastes like, for example, to train themselves to recover that scent. Patients should switch odors every three months.
Steroids may be another treatment option; however, conflicting evidence surrounds their use. Therefore, it may be prudent to avoid using oral and/or topical corticosteroids to treat acute smell loss in a patient with active COVID-19, Dr. McLean said. Recommendations are less clear for patients with persistent smell loss who have completely recovered from COVID-19. “Use caution when prescribing corticosteroids until data is available about efficacy and risks specific to the COVID-19 population,” she said.
As the winter sets in, arm yourself with the best safety and treatment protocols as the COVID-19 pandemic rages onward. Although the medical community still has much to learn about this virus, give it your best by relying on what is known and staying abreast of new developments.

Russian minister predicts new interest rate cut
MOSCOW (AP) — Russian Economic Development Minister Alexei Ulyukaev says that the country's central bank could cut interest rates next month as the economy stabilizes.
The Bank of Russia raised its key interest rate sharply to 17 percent in December when the ruble crashed to record lows against the dollar, but has since cut it for two months in succession as the ruble recovers some lost value.
In reducing the rate by one point to 14 percent earlier this month, the bank said the risk of inflation prevented a further cut.
Ulyukaev was quoted in Russian media as saying that the rate "may be lowered and colleagues from the Bank of Russia think likewise."
The central bank predicts Russia's economy will contract by between 3.5 and 4 percent this year.

“How Seattle attorneys gave us even more to love about the city’s favorite shopping destination”
Published in 2017 Washington Super Lawyers – July 2017
This summer, the Pike Place Market debuts a grand expansion, dubbed MarketFront, on the site of a former parking lot west of the main market, on the tumbledown slope above the Alaskan Way Viaduct. The $74 million project creates more space for farmers, crafters, artists and artisan producers; new low-income senior housing; extra parking; and a stunning view of Seattle’s waterfront and the Olympics beyond.
Attorney Gerry Johnson was instrumental in organizing the 2008 levy proposal that laid the groundwork for MarketFront. He has been general counsel to the Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority (PDA) for 30 years. Twenty-five years ago, he helped form the Market Foundation, which funds services and housing for its low-income neighbors.
When the Manhattan backers of loans for the restoration decided in the ’80s to redevelop the market area, appellate attorney Paul J. Lawrence was lead litigator, along with lawyer Fred Tausend, in a successful case that cemented the local ownership.

In modern industrial production, the requirements for continuous and accurate measurement and control of materials, substantial materials have increased, and loss in weight scales have been born. The loss in weight scale continuously and accurately measures the material according to the material weight change on the scale body. It gradually replaces the original belt scale, spiral scale, and even cumulative scale. The loss in weight scale has been widely used in metallurgy, mining, chemical, chemical fiber, and other industries as a brand-new measurement method. So how does a loss in weight scale work in industrial production?
Ⅰ. The working principle of loss in weight scale in industrial production
The loss in weight scale realizes measurement through controlling weight loss during work. First, the discharging device and weighing hopper are weighed. According to the weight loss per unit time, the actual feeding rate is compared with the set feeding rate to control the discharging device so that the real feeding rate always accurately conforms to the setting. Fixed value, in the short-time feeding process, the discharging device uses gravity to make the control signal stored during the working period work according to the volumetric principle.
Ⅱ. In which areas are loss in weight scales generally used?
It can be seen from the principle that the loss in weight scale is not affected by the mechanical changes of the scale body and the feeding mechanism. It only calculates the weight difference (differential weight). Compared with traditional dynamic measurement methods, its advantages are self-evident. When the control object is the flow rate (t/h, kg/min), the material can be transported well, and the measurement accuracy is high, the weight-loss method can be used as the best solution.
1. Weightless scale in chemical industry
Polymerization makes polyester in the chemical industry of various chemical raw materials, and it requires the precise proportioning of a variety of materials. The application of the loss in weight scale automates on-site production and reduces the labor burden. The real-time and continuous batching of multiple materials avoids the problem of material layering.
2. Cases in the fluorination industry
The hydrogen fluoride production process is the basis of the entire fluorine industry. Most of the industrial fluorine needs to be converted from hydrogen fluoride, and hydrogen fluoride is extracted from the chemical reaction of calcium fluoride and concentrated sulfuric acid. The price of calcium fluoride has risen steadily in recent years, so the industry urgently needs to reduce the consumption of materials per unit in production. High Dream Intellectualized Machinery co., ltd. has designed a special large-flow loss in weight scale to meet the strict requirements of this process.
3. Cases of loss in weight scale in metallurgical industry
In the hydro-zinc smelting process, powder additives such as antimony trioxide, polyacrylamide, etc., need to be added to the reactor. In order to remove some impurities in the zinc ore powder, since the reaction is continuously carried out, the addition of additives is also required. Time continuous. We design a series of loss in weight scales to feed additives to the reactor and design a buffer bin on the loss in weight scale to replenish the scale. The traditional way of manual weighing and feeding is changed so that the back-end reaction can be more uniform, and the purity of the finished product produced is higher.
4. Cases of loss in weight scale in rubber industry The polymerization makes engineering plastics and modified plastics in the plastics industry of various chemical raw materials, which require precise proportioning of multiple materials. The loss in weight scale solves the problem of material addition.

More InformationHi there,
We've plenty of experience house sitting over the past two years and are happy to provide police clearances and references.
We've cared for all kinds of pets & properties: from farms to suburban mansions, we’ve even a looked after forest monastery!
We're non-smokers who enjoy the peace and calm.
Sidsel & Beau
P.S. Here's our endorsements from a neighbouring site, I'm happy to email the link at request.
"It was lovely to meet Beau and Sidsel. They are both very easy going and super friendly! We could've chatted for hours! We have no doubt our pets received the best care while we were away. We have an abundance of animals here and they took the time to get to know each of them and their personalities well. We most definitely would get in contact with this lovely couple again for future housesits (or a good chat!)."
JODI (Marsden QLD, Aug 2018)
"We can highly recommend Beau and Siddle for house sitters. They cared for our home and pets. Our kelpie can be very challenging but was not a problem for them they are obviously very good with animals"
DENISE (Emerald NSW, Aug 2018)
"Beau and Sidsel were absolutely fantastic. I hadnt used this site previously and was very fortunate to happen upon this pair who took care of my home and pets perfectly. Highly recommended and would definitely ask them again to take care of my home."
FRANCINE (West Leederville WA, Oct 2017)
"Our house sit was much to ask for a house sitter, looking after a farm with many animals. I trusted Beau & Sidsel could do it straight away, and I was very happy afterwards as well. They went above and beyond what we requested. They are very interesting and friendly people and it was easy to get along them, making it soooo much less stressful for me to go away. They were very reliable, and I would take Beau & Sidsel as a house sitter any time again. Unfortunately they are too far away now!"
UTA (Balingup WA, Jul 2017)
"They are so great people. Beau and Sidsel took care of our home and our Siberian Husky as their own (or even better). They are caring, loving, positive, calm and patient. Not only the house was clean when we came back home but our dog has learned new commands and is way more chilled than before. They are trustworthy, responsible and fantastic people. They did way more than expected, leaving us little presents for when we arrived. It was a pleasure to receive you here, I hope we can cross paths again someday! Take care."

Billie Lourd is still "finding the funny" as she heads into a new season.
A few days after the public memorial service for her mother and grandmother, Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, Lourd celebrated spring by frolicking in a poppy field with rumored boyfriend Taylor Lautner. The Scream Queens stars snapped several cuddly selfies, with Lautner posting to Instagram: "Poppy Lock-N-Drop it."

Last week, Lourd's uncle, Todd Fisher, opened up to ET about how the 24-year-old actress is coping after the unexpected deaths of her mother and grandmother a few months ago. "She's dealing with two gigantic losses," he said. "These two girls -- my girls, my mother and my sister, were big, big personalities [with a] big influence on Billie, myself, many people."
"There's a vacuum in the room and she's feeling it and we're all feeling it. It's just that I'm 59 and I have no choice but to step up and put this stuff forward," he continued. "I'm letting [Billie] breathe, you know? She needs to breathe. She needs to step back from all of this loss."

One more four and a world record of hundred centuries. Oops….. he is out and no record. This is what Sachin Tendulkar is facing.
This is what is called as ‘Performance Anxiety’ in medical language and in cricket words the term is often used as ‘nervous 90’.
In cricket performance anxiety is also seen when you are facing the first ball. Many players get out on the very first ball.
The physiology is at the sub-conscious level. There is a sudden rush of sympathetic over activity with influx of chemicals like adrenaline or non-adrenaline, which increases pulse rate, blood pressure, increased sweating and leads to impairment in the fine skills and judgment.
A person in acute anxiety cannot thread a needle, as the fineness required for the same will not be there. Medically one can find presence of fine tremors on the fingers.
|TO be or not TO be|
Many marital disharmonies are also the result of first night nervousness. One of the commonest causes of erectile dysfunction in males is performance anxiety. Such people may have erectile dysfunction with a particular partner and not with the other. Extra marital affairs are also associated with performance anxiety in many cases.
Facing an interview, an adolescent on his first date, appearing in an exam or viva, are also common situations affected by performance anxiety. Quite often one may find that a student who has been doing well throughout the year fails to score good marks in the final exam. That is one reason why the western schools do not believe in the final exam results but on the overall performance of the year.
People who have marfanoid features, where the out-stretch arm length is more than the height, are especially prone to get episodes of anxiety. Seven percent of normal population may have these features.
Performance anxiety also increases in people who regularly smoke, consume tobacco or take alcohol more than permissible limits. Many herbs, which have actions like ephedrine and amphetamine, can also precipitate it. Tea, coffee and cola in excess can have cardiac stimulatory action and precipitate anxiety.
Fight and flight reactions are the most primitive reactions of the body. Performance anxiety belongs to one such reaction. Learning primordial sound meditation and done for 20 minutes twice daily regularly can shift one from sympathetic to para sympathetic mode and develop resistance towards this condition.
Yoga nidra, yoga shavasana, progressive muscular relaxation, mind-body relaxation, alternative nostril pranayama, regular walking, etc. are other exercises described in Vedic literature which helps stabilization of sympathetic nervous system in the body.

We have just 10 days left until voters hit the polls en masse to cast their vote for President of the United States. And within that tiny window before election day, the Obama campaign has released the most brilliant political ad I’ve ever seen. I have to warn you, many of you may find this offensive and distasteful.
Now, let me first say the reason I find this ad so amazing has nothing to do with what it’s talking about. Comparing voting for the first time to losing your virginity is not some door-breaking revelation that will cause voters to flock to Obama’s side. I am not saying it’s great because it features a cute and edgy Emmy-nominated actress acting, well, cute and edgy. This ad’s genius has nothing to do with content, appeal to the masses or a clear vision for the United States.
The reason this ad is frightfully effective is that it is a perfect combination of timing and targeting.
Let’s talk timing first. As stated, we are less than two weeks from the election. The debates are over, the candidates are largely campaigning only in swing states, like Ohio, Virginia and Florida. And the last two economic indicators before the election were both positive for President Obama. The first was released earlier this month, when the nation’s unemployment rate fell by three-tenths of a point to 7.8 percent. And it did so on the back of more people returning to work instead of dropping out of the workforce. And the most recent (and final) economic news came today, when the Commerce Department announced the economy expanded by 2 percent between July and September. While still slow, it was better than expected, and for a voting public that doesn’t have its degree in economics, it looks favorable for the President.
So this Lena Dunham ad hits the air after Mitt Romney has had his final face-to-face with Obama, and concurrent with a boost in the economy that is good, but not as good as any of us would like. But the timing is only part of it. The audience targeting of this commercial is the part that is really astounding.
Believe it or not, this ad is intended for two sets of voters. The first one is obvious: young people. These people immediately know who Dunham is (actor and producer of HBO’s Girls). They tend to be more liberal. They tend to be more exposed to open talk about sex. While some of these young people might not like the ad (and might well be offended by it), the majority of them won’t even blink. They’ll probably love it just for its face value. Now, this group of young people, many of them students, was mostly going to vote for the President anyway. For them, this is a memorable commercial, yes, but will not change their vote one way or the other.
So why do I believe this commercial is the best political ad I’ve seen? Because it targets another group of people. It targets conservatives. It targets them hard, and not at all in the way you are thinking. It’s true, this ad will not convince a single Republican or conservative to vote for Obama, or vote against Romney. If anything, it will further solidify Republicans behind Romney. But it will infuriate them. It is infuriating them.
Do a simple Google search for “Lena Dunham Obama”. See if you can count the number of political blogs and columns about this spot. I didn’t bother counting, but it is already well over a thousand. That’s more than a thousand sources of conservative viewpoints all focused on a commercial that has no impact on the vote. Bloggers can’t help themselves (heck, I couldn’t). This is red meat dangled in front of a starving pack of dogs. Check out a few responses below:
As a father of two beautiful girls, how could you possibly have allowed this to be aired? Did you approve this? Did someone on your campaign staff actually think this was a good idea? It is offensive, repulsive and should be removed immediately. – Red State
Is it a good idea for a campaign to equate voting for their candidate to getting screwed? – Michelle Malkin
Isn’t it just like a wingnut (Dunham) to sexualize the right to vote that women fought so hard for? Do they think women are too stupid to appreciate a straightforward pitch on the issues? – Hot Air
That’s just a small, but representative sample of the conservative blogosphere’s reaction to the ad. And you know what? They have a point. But what they don’t realize is that they are playing right in to the Obama camp’s strategy. Instead of spending the final days breaking down facts and hunting down dirt on the President, they will be talking about this. It only further demonstrates the genius of this spot that it was released on a Thursday afternoon, just in time for it to become popular and well-disseminated Friday evening. That is conveniently after Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and Greta Van Susteren have lined up their guests and laid out their programs. Sure, they might get to mention the ad, but won’t really get to sink their teeth in it until Monday. In other words, conservative talking heads will spend the final full week of the election season talking about something that will have no impact on the vote.
So to sum up: this ad, which will not change any minds about the best candidate, is released at a time when the economy looks to be improving and conservative leaders can’t truly react to it until the final full week before the election. Instead of talking breaking down why Romney might be correct about his Detroit bankruptcy comments or how Libya demonstrates that the President might not have the best handle on dealing with a foreign terror threat, conservatives will be talking about an actress equating voting to sex. When undecided voters head to the polls, the last real news they’ll have heard is how the economy has improved, and some meaningless rambling about an advertisement by a liberal actress. That’s why this commercial is perfect. I’ve never seen a political ad so expertly crafted, timed and targeted in my life. This is political strategy at its pinnacle.
Oh, and don’t think that President Obama will mention this genius commercial at all. He doesn’t have to. It’s already doing exactly what he and his team want. It is locking in the news cycle to a pointless discussion while the final piece of real news paints him in a positive light. Obama won’t talk about this ad directly, and the President won’t be seen anywhere near Lena Dunham, except maybe on election night, if she joins him on stage celebrating his winning a second term.

By MARIA LUIZA LAGO
The 58th annual Grammy Awards was full of good performances and tributes to great artists, like David Bowie and Lionel Richie. The Rolling Stone magazine did a review of the 20 best and worst moments but overlooked certain important aspects of some performances, like criticizing Adele for a minor sound issue and putting as the “worst” moment the non-attendance of Rihanna, even knowing she was sick and couldn’t sing.
The magazine analyzed important parts like the performance of Lady Gaga in honor of David Bowie: “her nods to Bowie’s performances showed a true obsessive, what made Gaga’s performance perfect was the way she captured the spirit of the man’s work throughout his career”; and the “notable solo performance” of the artist The Weekend, as well as other great performances of Taylor Swift, The Eagles and Stevie Wonder with the Pentatonix group.
The worst moments, however, were in part understandable. Others weren’t. The tribute to Lionel Richie performed by John Legend, Demi Lovato, Luke Bryan, Meghan Trainor and Tyrese Gibson was good until John Legend stopped singing. Even Lionel Richie, who was at the event, stopped cheering as he listened to his own work being sung by the other performers, as Rolling Stone pointed out.
Another worst moment was the duet of singers Tori Kelly and James Bay that seemed out of pace when both tried to sing both of their singles on the same time, and the music and scenarios were not good enough compared to the other performances.
What I think Rolling Stone may have exaggerated was the fact that one of the “worst” moments was the fact that, in Adele’s performance, the piano microphones fell into the piano strings, making the sound dissonant and, as noted by the magazine, “sounded like a fork on a guitar and a volume drop that nearly silenced the singer.” I think despite the audio trouble, Adele’s performance was good, there was no problem with her voice or whatsoever and I wouldn’t judge as a bad performance someone that wears a “messy bob” as being the worst part of the Grammys.
Also, Rihanna didn’t show up at the event due to bronchitis. Her doctor told her not to sing and the magazine also pointed that out, but still, “Rihanna bails.” Her performance was not even judged as good or bad and her condition forbid her to perform.

A diet of French fries, Pringle crisps and processed ham sounds Utopian for kids and youngsters going by way of a “fussy” consuming part. As mother and father will likely be conscious, many kids develop a hate relationship with fruit and greens. This inter-generational bone of competition often settles over time.
However when it doesn’t, as within the case of a teenage boy from Bristol, the results may be critical. In line with a case report printed this week within the Annals of Inner Drugs, he went blind after a number of years of a diet fully missing in fruit and greens.
Initially presenting to his physician with tiredness, he was discovered to have anaemia with low ranges of vitamin B12 in his system. He was given B12 injections and dietary recommendation; a 12 months later, having ignored medical recommendation, he developed listening to loss and impaired imaginative and prescient. By the point he was 17, his imaginative and prescient had worsened to the purpose of blindness.
Circumstances like this are unusual, however mother and father ought to pay attention to the potential hurt that may be attributable to choosy consuming and search knowledgeable assist
Investigations at this stage discovered vitamin B12 and vitamin D deficiencies, a lowered bone mineral density, low ranges of copper and selenium, and a excessive zinc stage.
“The affected person confessed that since elementary college, he had averted meals with sure textures and solely ate French fries, Pringles, white bread, processed ham slices, and sausage,” the authors of the report stated.”By the point his situation was identified, the affected person had completely impaired imaginative and prescient.”
Though not often seen within the developed world, poor vitamin can injury the nervous system. On this case the nerve fibres within the boy’s optic nerves died as a result of they have been starved of important nutritional vitamins (dietary optic neuropathy). He now has blind spots in the midst of his imaginative and prescient, which makes it troublesome to learn or watch TV. He can stroll unaided, nevertheless, as he nonetheless has some peripheral imaginative and prescient.
The case is kind of stunning in an period the place we affiliate drawback consuming with chubby and overweight kids. This teenager was neither beneath or chubby however such was his state of malnutrition that along with the visible loss he had misplaced minerals from his bone – the results of the physique urgently scavenging for a supply of minerals wanted elsewhere in his system.
Lead creator of the report, Dr Denize Atan, stated instances like this are unusual, however that oldsters ought to pay attention to the potential hurt that may be attributable to choosy consuming and search knowledgeable assist.
The Bristol teenager was identified with avoidant-restrictive meals consumption dysfunction (Arfid). He was handled with vitamin dietary supplements and referred to a specialist mental-health group.
Extra than simply choosy consuming, Arfid is a comparatively current diagnostic class. Launched in 2013 when it first appeared within the fifth version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Guide of Psychological Problems (DSM-5), it was beforehand referred to as Selective Consuming Dysfunction.
Arfid is characterised by a sample of consuming that avoids sure meals totally or the quantity of the meals the individual consumes is restricted. The analysis doesn’t apply if the restricted consuming is because of lack of accessible meals, or due to cultural norms (somebody who’s fasting or chooses to not eat sure meals for spiritual or cultural causes).
Arfid is totally different from different restrictive consuming problems: it isn’t affected by an individual’s beliefs concerning the dimension and form of their physique; somebody with Arfid doesn’t limit their meals consumption for the precise objective of shedding pounds; and Arfid doesn’t characteristic a number of the different behaviours that may be related to anorexia or bulimia, comparable to overexercising.
May your youngster have Arfid? Right here’s what to look out for:
- Avoidance of complete meals teams (fruit, meat or greens) or meals with explicit textures;
- Sensitivity to traits of some meals, for instance temperature;
- Gagging or retching on the odor or sight of a selected meals;
- Problem being within the presence of one other individual consuming a non-preferred meals;
- Having a diet that’s restricted to fewer than 10 “most popular meals”;
- Lack of curiosity in consuming or lacking meals fully;
- Trying to keep away from social occasions the place meals can be current;
- Struggling to remain and eat at a desk throughout household mealtimes;
- Or a toddler who eats solely with distraction, comparable to tv.
The place power consumption is impaired by the sample of consuming, the kid might have such an absence of power they can’t get by way of the day with no nap. Kids on the autism spectrum, and people with attention-deficit hyperactivity dysfunction and mental incapacity usually tend to develop Arfid. However it will probably happen at any age and is not only a label for a fussy eater.

WASHINGTON — At the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday, President Trump ditched his escort — the Easter bunny — to take up a decidedly unfestive agenda: He fielded questions about impeachment and unruly advisers before briefing a child about the construction of a wall at the southwestern border.
As hundreds of children hunted for eggs, Mr. Trump wandered over to take questions from journalists. He addressed the “terrible” terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka, the possibility of impeachment proceedings — “not even a little bit” worried, he said — and the lengthy investigation carried out by Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, which contained accounts of advisers who repeatedly declined to carry out his wishes, including a request to fire Mr. Mueller.
“Nobody disobeys my orders,” said the president, dressed in a pastel pink and purple tie for the occasion, concluding his first public remarks to the news media since the report was released on Thursday. Nearby, children bunted eggs around the South Lawn. The portrait of tonal dissonance was complete.
Politics have become a hallmark of even the most staid White House holiday traditions under Mr. Trump.
On Thanksgiving, Mr. Trump used a phone call with troops stationed overseas as a platform to attack immigrants and promote his administration’s successes. On Christmas, during a government shutdown, Mr. Trump’s holiday message was bitter: “It’s a disgrace what’s happening,” he told reporters in the Oval Office. And last winter, as the White House mulled canceling an annual reception for the news media, Bill Shine, who led White House communications at the time, joked that Mr. Mueller was on the invitation list instead.
Months later, administration officials, who often operate with an at-war mentality, have become even more adept at multitasking. In an interview on Monday from the South Lawn with “Fox and Friends,” one of the president’s preferred programs, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, claimed that a reporter had called for her decapitation. (That reporter, April Ryan, was merely calling for her firing.)
“I have had reporters say a lot of things about me,” Ms. Sanders said. “They said I should deserve a lifetime of harassment, but certainly never had somebody say that I should be decapitated.”
As Ms. Sanders continued to rail against what she referred to as the “liberal media,” a military band played “Jingle Bells” and families behind her posed with commemorative Easter eggs.
Of course, most attendees — estimated at 30,000 by the White House — were focused on the holiday at hand.
The responsibility for planning the event, which dates back 141 years, fell on the first lady, Melania Trump, and she stayed on topic. She approached her corner of the reading nook to a round of applause and joked with the crowd of children before she settled in to recite “The Wonderful Things You Will Be,” which she hailed as a “fantastic book.”
During her own time in the reading nook, Ms. Sanders beckoned children to come closer as she read a book about an Easter egg, which she said she hoped was on topic.
Nearby on the South Lawn, Mr. Trump careened from Easter to politics. At one point, he stopped to sign one child’s T-shirt and autographed the arm of another young attendee. As he was helping children color in cards for American troops, a child celebrating the holiday paused to ask him about progress on a wall he has promised to build along the southwestern border.
“Oh, it’s happening,” Mr. Trump said. “It’s being built now.”
This month, the president threatened to immediately seal the border with Mexico and then backed away from that promise. He accepted the resignation of Kirstjen Nielsen, the homeland security secretary, and signaled that he was prepared to enact even fiercer immigration policies.
On Monday, the president seemed to marvel at the young attendee’s interest in an area that has remained top-of-mind among his most fervent supporters, and seemed to welcome the validation.
“Here’s a young guy who said, ‘Keep building that wall.’ Can you believe that?” Mr. Trump asked reporters gathered on the South Lawn. “He’s going to be a conservative someday!”
When he retired to the White House, Mr. Trump began issuing tweets. One was focused on his Easter appearance. Another was about Mr. Mueller.
“Isn’t it amazing that the people who were closest to me, by far, and knew the Campaign better than anyone, were never even called to testify before Mueller,” Mr. Trump wrote. “The reason is that the 18 Angry Democrats knew they would all say ‘NO COLLUSION’ and only very good things!”
Several of Mr. Trump’s closest associates were among those who gave testimony to the special counsel, including Corey Lewandowski, his former campaign manager; Hope Hicks, the campaign’s former spokeswoman; and Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and senior adviser.

We all know that banning books is wrong. So why is it so tempting?
Last month, for the 32nd year, The American Library Association observed Banned Books Week, a celebration of the “freedom to read” and a chance to bring “national attention to the harms of censorship.”
Report – International Interfaith Gatherings in Vienna
Seasoned workers in the interfaith vineyard rarely deviate when asked what has been most valuable in their interreligious journey – “It’s the relationships” comes back again and again. My Neighbor’s Faith – Stories of Interreligious Encounter, Growth, and Transformation (Orbis), published this month, takes us into those deep interfaith relationships with 53 religious leaders, teachers, theologians, community leaders, and activists. We’ve heard many of these voices before in their public, academic, or professional roles. In My Neighbor’s Faith, though, we get to hear their personal stories of encountering ‘the other’ and finding their lives transformed.

Modern-day robots are engineered to minimize energy consumption to result in reduced operational expenses. Automation has become a cornerstone of efficiency and innovation across various industries in today’s fast-paced world. Robotics has played a pivotal role in automating processes to improve productivity and drive technological advancements. As we move forward, the field of robotics hardware is witnessing a fascinating evolution characterized by emerging trends shaping the future of automation. In this blog post, we will explore basic emerging hardware trends that are shaping the future of automation.
Robotics Hardware Trends for Automation:
The industrial robotics sector has been significantly affected by external factors, like the pandemic, geopolitical uncertainties, and supply chain disruptions. Simultaneously, internal factors such as technological advancements and improvements in usability have played a crucial role in shaping the development and adoption of industrial robots. The abundance of information to navigate makes pinpointing the most impactful trends quite a challenging task. Nevertheless, industry experts closely monitor some specific trends of particular significance:
Traditional robotics systems are often made of rigid materials, limiting their applications in specific environments. However, soft robotics is changing the game by introducing more flexible and adaptable machines. These robots are constructed from materials that mimic natural organisms, like soft silicone and elastomers. This trend is particularly beneficial in applications that require robots to interact with delicate or irregularly shaped objects, such as medical procedures or food handling.
For example, soft robots can be used in minimally invasive surgeries, where they can navigate the body with ease and precision, reducing patient trauma. The ability to conform to various shapes also makes them ideal for tasks like pick-and-place operations in warehouses, reducing the need for precise alignment.
Nature has frequently acted as a wellspring of creativity for robotics. The drive to improve robotic capabilities has led to a growing interest in the development of bio-inspired robots, as engineers and scientists draw inspiration from biological systems. A standout illustration of this trend is biomimetic drones, which emulate birds’ and insects’ flight patterns and characteristics.
These bio-inspired robots can achieve superior agility and maneuverability, rendering them exceptionally well-suited for search and rescue missions, environmental monitoring, and surveillance. These robots can effectively operate in demanding and ever-changing environments, all while conserving energy.
Advanced Sensing Technologies
The ability to perceive the environment accurately is critical for robots to perform tasks safely and effectively. Emerging trends in advanced sensing technologies are empowering robots with enhanced perception capabilities. These include:
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging)
LiDAR technology is making significant strides in the field of robotics. Miniaturized and cost-effective LiDAR sensors enable robots to create detailed 3D maps of their surroundings. This is especially useful in autonomous navigation for robots in industries like agriculture, logistics, and autonomous vehicles.
Human-robot collaboration is a growing trend in automation, and hardware plays a crucial role in making these interactions safe and efficient. Advanced sensors and algorithms enable robots to work alongside humans, enhancing productivity and safety in various industries.
For example, robots with advanced hardware in healthcare can assist with patient care, reducing the physical strain on healthcare workers and providing constant monitoring. In manufacturing, collaborative robots or cobots can work alongside human employees on the factory floor, handling repetitive and physically demanding tasks, while humans focus on complex problem-solving.
Multi-Spectral and Hyperspectral Imaging
These advanced imaging technologies allow robots to see beyond the visible spectrum. People can use them in precision agriculture to monitor crop health, in manufacturing to inspect products for defects, and in environmental monitoring to detect pollutants and assess vegetation health.
Tactile sensors designed to replicate the human sense of touch are becoming more sophisticated. This allows robots to interact with objects more delicately, enhancing their capabilities in sorting, assembly, and even medical procedures.
Edge Computing and AI
The combination of edge computing and artificial intelligence (AI) transforms how robots function. Edge computing empowers robots to handle data near its origin, minimizing delays and facilitating instantaneous decision-making. On the other hand, AI amplifies robots’ capacity to interpret and react to intricate and ever-changing surroundings. Robots can now acquire new skills and adjust to shifting conditions to render them more adaptable and robust. This evolution is especially pronounced in autonomous vehicles, where AI-powered systems process extensive data to make rapid decisions and navigate securely.
Efficient actuators are the muscles of robots. Traditional robots have relied on energy-intensive actuators, but emerging trends are shifting towards more energy-efficient alternatives. These actuators reduce power consumption and increase the lifespan of robots, making them more sustainable and cost-effective. One promising development is the use of dielectric elastomer actuators, which can produce large deformations with low power requirements. Another trend is shape memory alloys, which change shape in response to temperature changes, reducing the need for power-hungry motors.
Overseas labor expenses are on the rise, and automation costs are witnessing a substantial decline. These are just a couple of the factors propelling the resurgence of domestic manufacturing in the United States and other leading economies, as highlighted by Masic. Today, we face many additional challenges that range from intellectual property concerns and tariffs to geopolitics and supply chain complexities. Automation is the most viable solution to revitalize domestic manufacturing, especially during a labor crisis swiftly. Reshoring, by shortening supply chains, mitigates emissions and generates environmental benefits to a more sustainable manufacturing landscape.
To Sum Up
The robotics hardware trends mentioned above are driving automation to new heights. These innovations make robots more adaptable and versatile, from soft robotics that can handle delicate objects to bio-inspired robots that mimic nature’s efficiency. Advanced sensing technologies improve robots’ perception capabilities, while edge computing and AI enable real-time decision-making. Energy-efficient actuators and modular designs make robots more sustainable and cost-effective. Finally, human-robot collaboration is transforming industries by enhancing productivity and safety.

Diners left with nausea and vomiting after Knightsbridge restaurant attacked with foul-smelling liquid
The motive behind the attacks has not yet been determined, however each incident appears to have been targeted, police say.
Monday 2 March 2020 16:34, UK
CCTV has captured the moment saboteurs sprayed a foul-smelling liquid over the front of a restaurant near Harrods, causing diners to suffer with nausea and vomiting.
Police have released footage of two attacks on the restaurant in Brompton Road near Knightsbridge, central London, in an attempt to trace one or more suspects.
The substance - thought to be a strong-smelling food preservative - was sprayed on the front of the restaurant on the afternoon of 30 October and the nights of 19 and 25 February.
The first incident was treated as a chemical spill and police, ambulance and fire crews were called to the scene with 27 people evacuated from neighbouring flats as well as 15 staff who had to leave the restaurant.
During the second attack, witnesses suffered nausea and vomiting and were taken to hospital.
Detective Constable Danielle Sapsford said: "Although no serious harm has come to anyone, a number of people suffering with nausea and vomiting were taken to hospital after the incident on 19 February."
She said the motive behind the attacks has not yet been determined, however each incident appears to have been targeted.
Detective Sapsford continued: "This has caused great distress to the owner and we want to bring this to an end. The most recent incident took place on a day when the owners expected the restaurant to be very busy."
CCTV of the latest attack shows a man in a dark coat with the hood up spraying liquid onto the front of the shop using a syringe.
Police have not disclosed the name of the restaurant but have released two stills of two men they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.
Anyone with information can call DC Sapsford by dialling 101, quoting CAD1293/25Feb20, or to stay anonymous contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online.

Aussie actor Chris Hemsworth didnt imagine himself as a Hollywood A-lister
Chris Hemsworth, 32, might be one of Hollywood’s biggest stars but originally he wanted to be a doctor. Who knew eh!? Here’s 11 facts about the US hotty…
He’s a serious hottie…
Yep, we can see that! Chris is adored by millions around the world and last year he was voted People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive. He was also on Glamour magazine’s 50 Sexiest Men Of 2013 list.
…but he used to look VERY different
The Aussie actor hasn’t always been a hunk. In 2002, he made his acting debut aged 18 in a TV series called Guinevere Jones, playing King Arthur. With his long hair and baby face, it’s clear Chris has grown into his looks!
Chris’s older brother Luke, 33, and younger brother Liam, 25, are also actors. On one occasion, Hunger Games star Liam was left riled when he thought a journalist had called him Chris, snapping: ‘It’s Liam.’ The red-faced reporter told him his own name was Chris and he was just
introducing himself. Er, do we sense some brotherly competition here?
While most A-listers are all over Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, Chris is quite the opposite. He only posted his first Tweet in March this year and doesn’t have an Instagram account, so sadly we can’t swoon over his personal pics. Boo.
Acting wasn’t always his dream
‘I remember being in high school. Every week I had a different idea about what I wanted to do,’ Chris has revealed. ‘One week it was: “Ah, I’m gonna be a doctor.” The next it was: “I’m bound to be a professional sports player.” Then I’d want to be a police officer. Or a lawyer.’
He’s got the moves
Shortly before quitting his role as Kim Hyde in long-running soap Home And Away in July 2007, Chris took part in Australia’s Dancing With The Stars.
He remained in the competition for six weeks before finally being voted out. Not too shabby, Chris!
Being born and raised in Australia, it’s no surprise that he’s a surfing fanatic.Chris is often snapped taking to the waves and admits it gives him
‘a rush’. He says: ‘I’d nearly always rather be surfing.’
Body of a superhero
Playing warrior god Thor in four films and counting, Chris has had to work extremely hard to build a super-fit physique, gaining 20lb of muscle. He did it by upping his cardio, revealing his routine consists of: ‘Mainly boxing and [combat sport] Muay Thai, with some elements of weights. It was certainly exhausting at times, but I prefer to be training than not. It gives me more energy and I just generally feel better about myself. I feel like I’ve earnt that beer at the end of the week.’ Chris also revealed that he sticks to a healthy diet of chicken breasts, fish, vegetables and
His childhood nickname was Kip
No, he didn¹t get called ‘kip’ because of a love of kippers or having a mid-afternoon shuteye. He actually got the nickname because he couldn¹t say Christopher properly and would instead say ‘Kiptader’. Aww.
All loved-up with wife Elsa
Chris married Spanish actress Elsa Pataky in December 2010, just three months after they first went public with their relationship. They have three children: India, three, and one-year-old twins Tristan and Sasha. When they’re not spending time with the kids, Chris and Elsa, 39, have been spotted on date nights, which when they’re in London include trips to Notting Hill’s Electric Cinema and restaurant Dans Le Noirs, where guests eat in the dark. How romantic!
He snacks on Vegemite
When asked what his favourite nibbles are, Chris, whose latest film Vacation hits cinemas on 21 August confessed: ‘Whatever I’ve got in my cupboard, which usually isn’t much! Most likely Vegemite [the Aussie version of Marmite] and Saladas [Aussie crackers].’


La Flame invaded 106 & Park's "The Backroom" today performing "God Level" produced by 16-year-old beatmaker Ebony "WondaGurl" Oshunrinde.

Jay-Z doesn’t make many public appearances where he speaks these days, but that shifted majorly over the weekend. During his acceptance speech at the annual Grammy Awards ceremony for the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award, Jay-Z took a slight shot at the Recording Academy and mentioned that his wife, Beyoncé, has a leading 32 Grammy Awards but has never won the coveted Album of The Year trophy.
Flanked by his daughter Blue Ivy, Jay-Z took to the stage but humbly thanked Dr. Dre, the man for whom the award is named. In a loose moment for both men, Hov is heard lavishing praise upon the veteran producer, who bashfully tried to keep the moment focused on the man on the stage.
From there, the rapper born Shawn Carter launched into a freewheeling speech where he mentioned Beyoncé, who looked on with a beaming smile, stating that he doesn’t understand how the Academy hasn’t voted for her to win the AOTY Grammy.
Jay then spoke about the nature of the award show itself, mentioning the historic win for DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince and their 1989 boycott of the ceremony. The Brooklyn bomber then made mention of how the pair went on to watch the Grammys anyway. He then turned the moment on himself after he boycotted the Grammys in 1998 for snubbing the last DMX, who had a monster year with two top-charting and acclaimed albums.
It didn’t end there as Jay continued to shoot from the hip, saying that some nominees will feel like they were robbed and that some might actually get robbed before wrapping it up and saying that some people probably didn’t deserve to be nominated.
Check out the speech from Jay-Z below. Keep scrolling for reactions from X, formerly Twitter.


A primal-dual interior-point framework for using the L1 or L2 norm on the data and regularization terms of inverse problems
Maximum a posteriori estimates in inverse problems are often based on quadratic formulations, corresponding to a least-squares fitting of the data and to the use of the L2 norm on the regularization term. While the implementation of this estimation is straightforward and usually based on the Gauss-Newton method, resulting estimates are sensitive to outliers and result in spatial distributions of the estimates that are smooth. As an alternative, the use of the L1 norm on the data term renders the estimation robust to outliers, and the use of the L1 norm on the regularization term allows the reconstruction of sharp spatial profiles. The ability therefore to use the L1 norm either on the data term, on the regularization term, or on both is desirable, though the use of this norm results in non-smooth objective functions which require more sophisticated implementations compared to quadratic algorithms. Methods for L1-norm minimization have been studied in a number of contexts, including in the recently popular total variation regularization. Different approaches have been used and methods based on primal-dual interior-point methods (PD-IPMs) have been shown to be particularly efficient. In this paper we derive a PD-IPM framework for using the L1 norm indifferently on the two terms of an inverse problem. We use electrical impedance tomography as an example inverse problem to demonstrate the implementation of the algorithms we derive, and the effect of choosing the L2 or the L1 norm on the two terms of the inverse problem. Pseudo-codes for the algorithms and a public domain implementation are provided.
