Does antibiotic therapy after a first infection decrease recurrence rates? What about antibiotic resistance?
For years we have been prescribing prophylactic antibiotic therapy for children with a first-time urinary tract infection (UTI) before obtaining imaging studies—as is recommended in the 1999 American Academy of Pediatrics' practice parameter1—and for those with vesiculoureteral reflux (VUR). Although many pediatricians have raised questions about the efficacy and safety of this practice, the risks and benefits of antibiotic prophylaxis have not been well studied.
In a study recently published in JAMA, Conway and colleagues2 examined risk factors for recurrent UTI, the relationship between antibiotic prophylaxis and recurrent UTI, and risk factors for resistance. Using a network of pediatric primary care practices in urban, suburban, and semirural areas with almost 75,000 children, the authors identified a group of children younger than 6 years with a first UTI who made at least 2 clinic visits during the 5-year study period. (The practices involved in the study shared an electronic health record system, so the charts were easily accessible.) The authors also had access to records at some emergency departments and hospitals and from 2 private laboratories.
After excluding children who were observed for less than 24 days and those with comorbid conditions that might affect infection rates (such as immunodeficiencies and renal anomalies), the authors had a cohort of 611 children. Most of these children were white girls aged 2 to 6 years. Eighty-three of the 611 children had a recurrent UTI during the study period. The risk of recurrence was increased in white children, in those aged 2 to 6 years, and in those with grade 4 to 5 VUR. There was also an increase in recurrence among uncircumcised males, but circumcision status was not recorded in many of the charts.
Of the 611 children with first-time UTIs, 483 received antibiotic prophylaxis. However, when the authors compared children who received prophylaxis with those who did not, there was no significant difference in rates of recurrent UTI. Unfortunately, the children who received prophylaxis and who experienced a recurrent infection had a significant increase in resistance compared with children with recurrent infections who had not received prophylaxis. The increase in resistance persisted even when other factors, such as the presence of VUR, were controlled for.
The authors point out several limitations of their study, such as lack of data from outside of their network, the absence of imaging studies from 65% of the children, lack of circumcision data, and the assumption that prescriptions written for prophylaxis were taken as prescribed. With additional information, there may have been a shift in the relationships observed: antibiotics may have had more of an effect on recurrence rates, or there may have been a change in the effect of antibiotics among children with different grades of reflux.
While there is clearly a need for further investigation of risks and benefits of prophylaxis, the study by Conway and colleagues indicates that antibiotic prophylaxis should not be a reflex reaction undertaken in every child with a UTI. The risks and benefits should be discussed with families to determine on an individual basis which children should receive prophylaxis and which can be watched closely. With further examination, we can look forward to gaining more information to provide guidance in our management of UTI. *

Chapter 30 // Serpensortia
‘I said disarm only!’ Lockhart shouted in alarm over the heads of the battling crowd. I looked over to were Draco and Harry were duelling. Draco had sunk to his knees and he could barely move from laughing. He then pointed his wand at Harry’s knees, choked, ‘Tarantallegra!’ and the next second Harry’s legs begat to jerk around out of his control in a kind of quickstep. When Snape finally stopped them, a haze of greenish smoke was hovering over the scene.
I couldn’t really hear Lockhart as he was standing flustered in the midst of the hall, but everyone started moving towards the stage again and Harry and Draco walked with Lockhart and Snape. Lockhart took Harry to one side of the stage and started making some weird wiggling action with his wand, then dropped it.
‘What is that guy doing?’ I asked Luna, who seemed to pop up out of nowhere.
‘Three – two – one – go!’ he shouted suddenly.
Draco raised his wand quickly and bellowed, ‘Serpensortia!’
The end of his wand exploded. I wanted to close my eyes and try to remember what that spell would do, but it wasn’t necessary, as a long black snake shot out, fell heavily onto the floor between them, and raised itself, ready to strike. There were screams as the crowd back swiftly away, clearing the floor. The snake moved over the stage, eyeing the students. His eyes found mine and he started moving toward me, never blinking.
‘Don’t move,’ said Snape lazily, clearly enjoying the sight of everyone standing motionless. ‘I’ll get rid of it…’
‘Allow me!’ shouted Lockhart. He brandished his wand at the snake and there was a loud bang; the snake, instead of vanishing, flew ten feet into the air and feel back to the floor with a loud smack. Enraged, hissing furiously, it slithered straight toward Justin Finch-Fletchley, who was standing right next to me, and raised itself again, fangs exposed, poised to strike. I did the only thing that came to mind; I stepped in front of him. Then, Harry’s voice sounded, loud and clear, ‘Leave him alone!’ And miraculously – inexplicably – the snake slumped to the floor, docile as a thick, black garden hose, its eyes on Harry. He looked up at the crowd, grinning at Justin. My head started spinning and I took a step back, standing on Justin’s toes, then turning and running out of the Great Hall, leaving the mutters behind.

Leading Baltimore Blast scorer Billy Ronson said yesterday that there is no dissension on the team.
But he wants the air cleared in the aftermath of some critical remarks made by forward Domenic Mobilio and coach Kenny Cooper after a 7-5 loss to the San Diego Sockers on Saturday night at the Baltimore Arena.
Mobilio said: "Some guys don't want to play against San Diego. We had them [3-1 lead at the end of the first quarter] and then let the game get away as usual."
Cooper said: "We don't have people willing to stick their necks out to beat San Diego. Some people are content to finish second best to San Diego."
Ronson has called for Mobilio and Cooper to "name names" to prevent the entire team from being indicted by the comments.
"Which guys?" Ronson said. "Let's get the names out or else every player on the team will be under question. Don't go behind doors and name people."
Mobilio said he didn't want to be specific, and Cooper said he wouldn't publicly berate any players.
Cooper said, "We have a half-dozen guys who know what it takes to beat San Diego, and the others are still trying to find out."
The setback to the Sockers came before the largest home crowd the season (9,417) and dropped the Blast to 0-3 against San Diego at the Arena this season.
The loss completed a weekend that began with a loss to the last-place Cleveland Crunch, 9-3, Friday night at Richfield Coliseum.
San Diego not only beat the Blast, but Cooper said Sockers coach Ron Newman humiliated Baltimore when he called a timeout with 34 seconds left and a 7-5 lead.
Cooper said: "I told Ron [Newman] he rubbed our noses in the dirt in front of our fans and I'm not going to take it. Calling time out was totally unacceptable."
In addition to the timeout, Cooper said San Diego forward Wes Wade was "gesturing toward our bench at the end of the game."
"Talk is cheap," Cooper said. "I see it all as low class. Our fans and players were upset [over the timeout] and I could tell some of their players didn't like it."
Newman defended the timeout to Cooper, saying, "I've seen two goals scored in 34 seconds before, and we planned the timeout before the seventh goal was scored."
Cooper said: "Ron Newman can say whatever he wants. But they've called these timeouts before at the end of games. It's part of the scenario."
NOTES: Blast MF Richard Chinapoo (right hamstring strain) left the game in the second quarter Saturday night and is questionable for Saturday night's game against the Crunch at the Arena. . . . Cooper said he will "separate the men from the boys" this week in two-a-day practices today, tomorrow and Wednesday.

PRLog - Dec. 3, 2012 - NEW YORK -- Kensington Publishing Corp. proudly debuts Ellen Marie Wiseman with the January 2013 release of THE PLUM TREE, a deeply moving story about a young German woman during the chaos of World War II and its aftermath. Told from the incomparable vantage point for witnessing the first cruelties and final ruin of the Third Reich—the German home front—THE PLUM TREE is an epic story of human resilience and enduring hope in the vein of Cold Mountain and Schindler’s List.
The Plum Tree
Yet in the fall of 1938, Germany is changing rapidly under Hitler’s regime. Anti-Jewish posters appear on street corners and a new law forbids Christine from having any relationship with Isaac. In the months and years that follow, Christine will confront the Gestapo’s wrath and the horrors of Dachau, desperate to protect those she loves, to survive, and finally, to speak out.
THE PLUM TREE is an epic love story, but at its heart is Wiseman’s attempt to put a face on the countless destitute German women and children who lived and died under Hitler's regime, most often as victims of their government’s actions. Wiseman grew up listening to her mother’s remembrances of poverty, hunger, bombings, and constant fear in Germany during WWII. Her German relatives who lived through the war as young adults and children told her of a country made up of women, children, and the elderly struggling to stay alive while the men were drafted and sent off to fight.
Wiseman weaves this personal heritage into the fictional story of THE PLUM TREE – an unforgettable novel of courage and resolve, of the inhumanity of war, and the heartbreak and hope left in its wake.
"Stories of WWII rarely look at the lives of the average German; Wiseman eschews the genre’s usual military conflicts in favor of the slow, inexorable pressure of daily life during wartime, lending an intimate and compelling poignancy to this intriguing debut." - Publishers Weekly
“A beautifully written first novel…Ellen Marie Wiseman weaves a story of intrigue, terror, and love from a perspective not often seen in Holocaust novels.” – Jewish Book World
“An extraordinary debut novel in which the author’s childhood trips visiting family in Germany impart a heartbreaking realism. A Holocaust story told from the unlikely perspective of a German teenage girl in love with a Jewish boy...an original and important addition to the World War II canon.”– RT Book Reviews, 4.5 stars, TOP PICK!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Ellen Marie Wiseman was born and raised in Three Mile Bay, a tiny hamlet in Northern New York. A first generation American, Ellen has traveled frequently to visit her family in Germany, where she fell in love with the country’s history and culture. Ellen lives on the shores of Lake Ontario with her husband and three dogs.

City workers keep Blackberrys close on holiday: report
LONDON (Reuters) - Many City workers are unlikely to have a relaxing summer holiday this year, with 83 percent admitting they will take their mobile phone or Blackberry with them, a report said on Monday.
Of 300 City professionals interviewed by data protection agency Credant Technologies, 65 percent confessed they would contact the office either by phone, text or email while on holiday, the report said.
Over a quarter said they would check their email during their vacation, and one third would take their laptops, the study said.
"Whether it's paranoia on the part of employees, or unrealistic demands from employers, the fact is that this summer numerous workers will be accessing the corporate network from all over the globe," Michael Callahan, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for Credant Technologies, said.
Thousands of City jobs are expected to be slashed over the next few months as the credit crunch eats into banks' profits.

©2003 Bill Bryson; (P)2014 Audible, Inc.
"To read Bryson is to travel with a memoirist gifted with wry observation and keen insight that shed new light on things we mistake for commonplace. To accompany the author as he travels with the likes of Charles Darwin on the Beagle, Albert Einstein or Isaac Newton is a trip worth taking." (Publishers Weekly)
"Stylish [and] stunningly accurate prose....Brims with strange and amazing facts...destined to become a modern classic of science writing." (The New York Times)
I have thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have learnt a lot of interesting things about our planet and been amazed by some of the facts. Bill Bryson writes in an easy relaxed manner that means you don't tire of the subject.
Before I listened to this audiobook I had very limited interest in Science. This book has generated lot of interest in Sciences
However a sizeable portion of time in sharing trivial information about the scientist in question. I thought some of these sidelight were a bit too casual and (probably) un-researched.
Nevertheless a nice audiobook for my collection.
I found it hard to get out of the car while listening to this book. Every part of it was fascinating. This was the first of my Audible books and it will be awfully hard to top. Bryson manages to delve into complex topics but still be funny. William Roberts is wonderful, very easy to listen to. He delivers Bryson's dry wit brilliantly. This book has made me want to learn more about 'nearly everything'. Topics which have the potential to be dull are exciting and intoxicating in this book. If you listen to nothing else, you really need to listen to this. I know I will listen to it many times over.
This has to be the best audio book so far. Entertainingly read which is no mean feat given the length of the title. Although I glazed over on some of the details on details, every chapter unveiled the essence of "I never knew that !"
Based on this title, will try others by the author and narrator.
I love this book,and i love the narrator William Roberts :o)
This book is very well written but unfortunately represents the beliefs of the Darwinist religion, and not the facts on how we came to be here. This is a good example of the conjecture that is derived from scientific research, misleadingly represented as accepted truth. (Darwin's theory was defeated by Phillip Johnson in his book 'Darwin on Trial.')
This book is written from an evolutionist point of view.As you know evolution is a theory and full of holes and major presumptions.If you are a christian with creationist point of view this is a irritating book to listen too.I wish I had glanced through the written copy before I bought this.Be prepared to filter out the facts from the fiction or spend 20 hours on something more productive
"Fantastic effort on history"
Amazing piece of work, must read for every human being. Last few sentences on extinction brought tears. Great read for everybody
it's taken me over six months to get through it, it's super educational however I'd need to take notes next time. There's lots of scientific words and it's easy to get lost but worth getting through the mind boggling facts. Nice :-)
YahyAuYay By Vyv bI yowl haven zn yyho vpintI yucks itha y n U.yjS. K IOut. Not requiredrshy today. Fitz giving people the eye. Sean Quinn wandering around also.
"Good fun but at parts hard work"
Good fun and well read think it will take a couple of reads as some chapters went in one ear and out the other...
But that could be just me.
"Another great popular science"
A great combination of history and popular science following the birth of the universe up to modern humans. A must read for anyone who enjoyed "At Home".
"How it all began..."
This book is ideal for bedtime listening. I fell asleep to its narrators voice on many an evening - after setting my sleep timer so that I didn't miss too much... because it really IS a fascinating insight into the origins of life on our planet. Nothing too taxing, but plenty to absorb. Highly recommended.
"An Interesting Listen Even For Non Science-y Types"
À good effort to simply some complicated subjects. Well worth a listen even if science isn't normally your thing. Always interesting and often funny. Starting to show it's age a little now in some areas, bare in mind this was written before the boxing day tsunami, Japanese earthquake and tsunami and lots of other significant events in the sciences. But as said earlier, still well worth a listen.
"A great read, and re-read"
This is a book just come back to every couple of years, it is just so packed full of interesting facts and ideas there is always something new (or at least things you have forgotten).
It is essentially the history of scientific discovery.
"Wonderfully informative book"
I cannot recommend this book enough to people. Also a great narration. Thank you audible for being such a great app.
"Great writing let down by over-zany narration"
Yes. There's a lot of stuff to take in, so I can imagine re-listening to some parts.
The speed at which Bryson gets through his history is just right. There's also a good balance between levity and awe at what people have been capable of in the past.
He was overly conscious of it being a Bill Bryson audiobook, so felt it was necessary to read it as a comedy. It's not. There is the odd dry aside, but it's not half as whacky or kerrayzee as the narrator seems to think it is.
It's a real shame, because the actual content is incredibly interesting and I hate to be taken away from it each time he reads something in a way that suggests an unspoken "Those lab geeks are whacked out, amirite?! Right?"

Spanish fashion giant Inditex enjoyed record sales and profits during its first half after defying currency pressures and tough retail conditions.
The parent company of Zara, Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti, Bershka and Stradivarius reported a three per cent rise in net income to €1.4 billion (£1.2 billion) for the six month period ending July 1.
This marked the highest ever half-year result for what is regarded as the world’s biggest fashion retail company.
Inditex also saw group like-for-like sales increase four per cent and were higher across all regions including Europe and the UK, although this marks a slowdown on the six per cent growth seen a year earlier.
Net sales also reached a milestone, smashing past €12 billion (£10.7 billion) for the first time to hit €12.03 billion (£10.7 billion).
Inditex also estimates that like-for-like sales growth has picked up pace in the second half so far to between four per cent and six per cent thanks to a good reception to its initial autumn/winter collections.
The group’s profits hike comes despite fears over an impact from the stronger euro, which had been expected to take its toll.
Its gross profit margin increased slightly from 56.4 per cent to 56.7 per cent.
Inditex makes a lot of its products in the eurozone, but makes more than half its sales outside the currency bloc.
The impact of the strong euro was shown in its total sales figures, with the result in local currencies up by a more impressive eight per cent.
“The strong first-half results are the result of a solid sales and operating performance, arising from the unique strength of the group’s integrated and sustainable business model,” chairman and chief executive Pablo Isla said.
Inditex opened stores in 44 markets in its first half, taking its total number of outlets to 7422 across 96 markets.
It currently trades online in 49 of its 96 markets, although this could change soon after the company recently announced that all of its brands will be available online worldwide by 2020.

At 11-years-old, JD McCrary is definitely one of #younghollywood’s top up-and-coming actors. Having worked with notables such as Tyler Perry, Regina Hall, among others, this talented preteen, who is also an accomplished dancer, is unquestionably on the fast track to becoming a household name.
We know that McCrary will voice Young Simba in Disney’s anticipated Lion King remake, but here are five things, according to People Magazine, that you possibly didn’t know about the rising star.
1. He loves the original Lion King
“Everyone knows what The Lion King is,” McCrary said in an interview with People. “It’s one of Disney’s biggest films. It’s just so interesting. Just what it goes after, like being the king of everything, the king of the jungle.” The preteen also told the magazine that he had the opportunity to watch the 1994 original once again on a flight and simply loved it all over again.
2. He’s already worked with Donald Glover/Childish Gambino.
With the voice of an angel, it was no wonder this young man was tapped by Glover/Gambino to work on the single “Terrified” on his album, “Awaken My Love.” Glover/Gambino voices Simba in the upcoming anticipated blockbuster.
McCrary met the superstar at the Wearable Art Gala and she knew exactly who he was. “She knew who I was!” McCrary told People. “It was like, I went up to her and I tapped her, and she was like, ‘Hi, it’s so nice to meet you.’ And I was just shocked, because she knows who I am! She was like, ‘Your voice is so beautiful. It was so, such a great moment being able to hear you singing with my kids and my family.’” You know you have made it when the Queen herself knows who you are.
4. He has made history, becoming the youngest artist to ever sign with Hollywood Records.
With his new six-song EP, “Shine,” McCrary is demonstrating that he was unquestionably worth the investment. “All the songs are different,” McCrary explains to People about his new EP. “But I feel like one thing that connects them all is that I was just trying to show my talent in every one. And the name of the EP is Shine because, all I really want to do right now is shine.”
5. He wants to keep working on both music and acting.
“I just want to [make] art, pretty much,” McCrary told People. “It’s just a real blessing. Thinking of what I can just do so many years from now, I’ll be someone people look up to. It’s a real blessing that I have all this talent and that I get to show it to the world.”
And it is no question that he will do just that! We cannot wait to see what the future holds for this amazing young man. Just in case you don’t already have it marked on your calendar, The Lion King roars into theaters on July 19th.

The Torre Agbar skyscraper is located in Barcelona, Spain. This thirty-eight story tower was completed in July of 2005. The building is in the Poblenou neighborhood and was named after the Agbar Group, the owners of the building. Its interesting design and bullet shape originally received much criticism but many citizens actually like the building now.
The Tower’s Architecture and Design
The building measures over 538,000 square feet and rises into the sky over 465 feet. The building has nearly thirty thousand offices, three thousand technical facilities, over eight thousand services, an auditorium, and over nine thousand square meters for parking. It cost over one hundred and thirty million Euros to build. The King of Spain launched the tower’s official opening on September 16, 2005.
French architect, Jean Novel, designed the building. He stated that Antoni Gaudí, a gushing geyser, and the pinnacle of the Montserrat mountain range, were his inspirations. The Torre Agbar is slightly elliptical. Technically, the tower is comprised of two non-concentric cylinders that are capped by a steel and glass dome which weighs two hundred and fifty tons. The building does not have any internal columns. The main material that was used to construct the building was concrete. The services and emergency stairs in the tower are situated in the center concrete core.
Most of the tower’s thirty-four floors are used for offices while another three house the various technical elements of the structure. Additionally, there is a cafeteria that takes up an entire floor, and another floor has several conference rooms. One floor has an observation area. The elevators on the south side are constructed with glass and provide a wonderful view of the sea. The auditoriums, along with the parking facilities, are located on four subterranean floors. There are different zones in the glass brie-solei that can be opened in the building’s lower floors so firemen can rescue people during an emergency.
Although the interior of the building is quite interesting structurally, it is the exterior that intrigues most people when they travel down the different highways in the city. The first layer that covers the concrete building is a polished aluminum layer in greys, blues, and greens. The second layer adds a beautiful iridescent sparkle and luster to the tower. This layer consists of nearly sixty thousand clear glass sheets. The facade panels have forty different colors.
There are over four thousand windows that have louvers that are able to tilt in several directions in order to block out bright sunlight. Throughout the night, this tower is even more magnificent, as there are four thousand pink, red, blue and yellow LED lights that illuminate the exterior.
The tower’s LED technology is able to generate different images on the exterior of the building. This lighting system can create sixteen million colors because of its highly sophisticated system of software and hardware. It can quickly transition between the different colors which sometimes can create a surprising effect.
The Torre Agbar is very popular with tourists and many take the opportunity to go inside the building to look at the interior. Today, the tower is on most tourist bus routes and there even is a helicopter tour than people enjoy taking at night.

The LimeSDR is not well documented. You can't just Google "limesdr mini drivers" and expect to find anything. After I put in a lot of trial and error, Jeff from LostCarrier.Online linked me a USB controller driver that somehow makes this work.
So to install the drivers, it looks like you need to start by installing PothosSDR. It won't install drivers, but it will provide a Start Menu link to something called Zadig. Use that to install a driver for your LimeSDR Mini. Then download the USB controller driver and have Device Manager update your LimeSDR with the new drivers. Windows should prefer the USB controller driver and quickly begin upgrading to it once you choose the Update Driver Software option.
This does not work for EXTIO-based programs like HDSDR. You'll need SDRConsole v3 to try your LimeSDR Mini. It has good support for receiving from a LimeSDR, but can't transmit even though there is a Transmit tab. Also, I heard somewhere that 20 MHz is the most bandwidth you can do over USB 2.
I have an NVidia GTX 750 Ti so SDRConsole can use CUDA to accelerate the FFT that generates the waterfall. Still, for me it stutters over 7.5 MHz.
One more thing: choose an antenna once your LimeSDR Mini is running in SDRConsole. I spent a few minutes troubleshooting the blank waterfall before realizing that no antenna was selected.
3 ATSC TV pilots (spikes) at once:
LTE at 2.1 GHz:
I couldn't get SDRAngel or Foobar2000 (with jocover's plugin) to transmit. I'm still trying to figure out how to transmit and when I do I'll write another post showing how to do it.


It was a bad start to the Eredivisie for PSV Eindhoven as they were held to a goalless draw against a Sparta Rotterdam side who are continuing to impress this season. The hosts could have equalled league leaders Feyenoord’s points tally with a win at the Philips Stadion but were left to rue missed chances.
The match did not provide a lot for either sets of fans as well as for the neutrals although there were two late penalty calls for the hosts which the referee denied. Jordan Teze appeared to have been taken down by Sparta’s Adil Auassar and despite VAR recommending another, Sander van der Eijk kept to his decision. A second penalty appeal late into injury time came when Ibrahima Sangare appeared to have been tripped but Van der Eijk also ignored the appeals and waved play on.
The match showed early signs of what life at the Philips Stadion will be without Cody Gakpo and suffice to say many will not be impressed.
1. Ruud van Nistelrooy lacked creative ideas to break Sparta Rotterdam
Head coach Van Nistelrooy set up his side in a usual 4-3-3 but with no Gakpo, the creativity and goal threat needed to come from somewhere else. From this performance, the former Manchester United striker still needs to find an answer to that dilemma when Noni Madueke and Anwar El Ghazi failed to make an instant impact while there were no answers on the bench either from the head coach.
2. Anwar El Ghazi did not provide a lot to show he can replace Cody Gakpo
El Ghazi came in the summer with the view of adding depth to the role Gakpo played, that was according to Marcel Brands. For the short-term at least, the former Aston Villa player will be Gakpo’s replacement and despite showing a number of glimpses that he could do the job, there is nothing concrete to suggest it will happen immediately. He will be frustrated a lot of PSV’s approach in play came from the right rather than on the left but when he was given the chances, he certainly looked threatening. Perhaps Van Nistelrooy should take a look at that.
3. Luuk de Jong failed to impress in front of goal
No Gakpo means no top goal scorer and so they need to find someone to take the chances as PSV continue on in the title race and the first person to look at is captain Luuk de Jong. The striker has a very good record at the club with 117 goals in 219 appearances for PSV over two spells – including three in seven this season. But the former Sevilla player failed to make an impression up front despite a couple of decent opportunities.

From the pages of the annals of The Lady Nimue:
Twas the one thousand nine hundred and eighty fifth year of our Lord, and the time of the Long Vacation was upon us. Most of the noble knights and fair ladies of the court had quitted thetown of Oxford in favour of fairer climes. However in a tavern in the region of Jericho there came to pass an auspicious gathering between myself, one King Mark of Cornwall and several flagons of dark Irish stout ale. We both were in agreement, it had been a fine year spent in the company of exuberant swains and erudite scholars. However, be it the fault of the foaming brew served at each gathering of the court, or some mental deficiency of our own neither could remember in great detail the topics that had been discussed and discovered by the aforementioned company.
A record was required we decided, some form of written account of the court's activities, to educate and inspire its members and to engender some enthusiasm amongst its ranks. It should review past glories and anticipate forthcoming attractions, enabling members to draw more worth from a season's questing, quaffing and querying. I immediately resolved to initiate such a venture, and King Mark resolved to let me get on with it...
Much activity followed. Writing engines were investigated, sponsors sought, printing presses pressed and contributors cajoled. It was decided that the first edition should be an introduction to the exciting world of our noble Emperor Arthur to entice new converts to our cause. As to the title, after much deliberation 'Pendragon' was chosen, it being a subtle and witty conjoining of both 'pen' and 'dragon'! (I was as yet unaware of the existence of The Pendragon Society with its eponymous magazine - hence the later retitling). The Historical truth of King Arthur was to be expounded by Lord Merlin, who also provided us with our first book list (a trendy term for bibliography at the time!). Sir Galahad was to have examined Arthurian Literature, but resigned feebly at the last moment, forcing me to fill the breach at short notice. King Mark scribbled vague musings on the back of an envelope which was hammered into an 'Arthurian Pub Guide', all this together with my introduction - an overview of arbitrary Arthurian activity entitled 'Gateway to Arthurian Britain'. (And whose immortal opening words 'In his novel, 'The Moon of Gomrath'...' remain yet legendary amongst those of us sufficiently antiquated to remember them!)
As Michaelmas approached the elders of the court convened to cogitate over forthcoming ventures. On the question of the magazine, however, opinion was divided. Lord Merlin, King Mark and myself led the party in favour of such a publication, whereas Sir Mordred was not at all convinced of its necessity. Finally it was considered fitting that the communication should be distributed, but that it should be self-funding and not draw upon court revenues for its production.
Behold! It came to pass that, at the first gathering of the season of Michaelmas in that year, the first edition of the magazine of The Oxford Arthurian Society was freely given to all of its company and prospective members... and there was much rejoicing! Thus Ceridwen's Cauldron, as it was ever after to be called, was born: and the rest, as they say, is history!

Used for repairing woodworking rollers
On 2014-09-02 21:41:57
We used this product to connect the axis of the woodworking roller and the axis of the full auto knob. I was able to connect firmly. Thinking back later, I noticed that coupling was possible even with coupling, but I think that two products of this product are cheap.

Perhabs somebody can help me with my issue.
I am using the USB TAP with Codewarrior v.7.3 for debugging the 56F8014 on the final hardware. The hardware is an DC/DC converter. The FET's are driven by the PWM outputs.
Everything is working fine. But when debug is running i want to stop it and look after some values (voltage and current) stored in a struct.
Now here is the main issue: When I stop the debugging the PWMs are also stopped. Because of the hardware i must take care, that PWMs (Timers) are also running in stopped mode. Is there a possibilty to set this feature somewhere in the settings?

According to 'Asia's Hot Growth Companies' list, prepared by US-based financial magazine BusinessWeek, India is home to a higher number of such companies than China, whose presence is limited to just eight firms. Besides, India is next only to Taiwan and Japan, which have been represented by 24 and 18 firms respectively.
There are 13 firms from Hong Kong, seven from Korea, four from Malaysia, nine from Singapore and two from Thailand.
The single firm from Pakistan is Packages Limited, a manufacturer of paper products is ranked at the 84th position.
Among the Indian firms, Lakshmi Machine Works is ranked 17th, followed by Kirloskar Brothers (18th) and Godrej Consumer Products (23rd).
Other Indian companies named in the list are Marico (40), Colgate-Palmolive India (45), Hexaware Technologies (53), GlaxoSmithkline Pharmaceuticals (60) Panacea Biotec (68), Bajaj Hindustan (72), Motherson Sumi Systems (79), Cummins India (83), I-flex Solutions (93) and Titan Industries (98).
Hong Kong-based Ajisen Holdings has been ranked at the top, followed by Raffles Education of Singapore.
In terms of highest sales in 2006, three Indian firms -- Cummins India, Titan Industries and I-flex Solutions -- are ranked first, second and third, respectively.
Cummins -- which manufactures diesel, gas, and dual fuel engines for power generation and other industrial purposes -- had sales of $498.8 million, while Tata Group's Titan Industries recorded revenues of $491.2 million.
Information technology solutions provider I-flex raked in sales of $484.3 million. In terms of three-year average return on capital, Godrej Consumer was ranked on top across Asia with 106.7
per cent. Godrej Consumer and Marico were named as the second and third biggest companies with a return of 57.7 per cent and 57.2 per cent respectively on the basis of capital return last year.
Based on market value, I-Flex was ranked at second position with a value of about four billion dollars.
The overall list took into consideration parameters like sales, profit, capital returns and market capitalisation.
"They are in decidedly less sexy lines of business, everything from noodle shops to chemical fiber manufacturing. But these Asia stars do enjoy some big advantages, like relatively high barriers to entry and growing demand from Asia's newly affluent consumers," the magazine said.
In an accompanying report, BusinessWeek said that annual scorecard of top 100 small and midsize businesses in the region are not high-flying dot-coms.
Tech leaders in India have been hammered by the appreciation of the rupee. "The rupee has gone up 12.6 per cent against the greenback over the past 12 months, making Indian companies catering to US customers less competitive with their foreign rivals," it noted.
Outsourcing services specialist Hexaware Technologies recorded a 22 per cent decline in profits to $6.8 million in the recent quarter on account of rupee appreciation. The firm is looking to open a development centre in China next year in addition to the existing one in Mexico, the magazine added.
"Clients in the US want to de-risk" their exposure to the rupee, he says. Having employees in China would provide Hexaware "with an additional low-cost center," the company's Executive Chairman Atul Nishar was quoted as saying.


OLD CITY AHMEDABAD
JETHABHAI NI POL
1411 / TO / CURRENT
Within Ahmedabad's Old City or Walled City a neighbourhood is called a pol . John and Kinnari's house is in Jethbabhai ni pol or Jethabhai's neighbourhood.
Each pol traditionally was comprised of residents from the same sect, caste or religion. Many of the residents were even related to each other intern making a homogenous living environment where the front doors of the houses were often left open and the narrow streets of the pol became mere extensions of peoples living rooms; with residents moving seamlessly between houses as if the neighbourhood was one giant house.
The Old City of Ahmedabad is located on the eastern banks of the Sabarmati river. During the British occupation, Gujarat College was established on the western side of the river in 1845 and subsequently Ellis bridge, the first bridge was constructed, connecting the east and west sides in 1870.
The construction of the bridge was a harbinger to the gentrification of the Old City and Jethabhai ni pol.

I for one, am tired of hearing how the Thunder shouldn't have traded Harden for what Houston gave them.
1). OKC has three major contracts in Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka making it impossible for the team to offer Harden what he would have been offered on the open market at the end of this season. He would have walked and the Thunder would have gotten nothing in return.
2) Kevin Martin has a 12 million dollar expiring contract. 12 million brings some decent role players to add to the mix (their roster) next year or one or two talented need players.
3). Draft picks will be big for the future needs of this Thunder team; greater bench or trade value. Jeremy Lamb project may develope into something.
4). Commentators act like Westbrook injury could have been predicted. Even with Harden, I would like to see Vegas odds of Thunder/Heat finals minus Westbrook. Slim chance! Harden doesn't mature while Westbrook and his massive ego are together on the same team. With Houston he was able to spread his wings. Two play makers are all you need (Durant/Westbrook). K. Martin helps spread the court out while Durant and Westbrook drive and kick out. Heat won last year on packing the paint on Durant, Westbrook and yes ....Harden.
Ibaka contract may have been OKC's big past mistake. Time will tell if they can find a rookie center to replace Perkins or maybe trade for help.
Both teams benefited in the Harden trade.
I know the Rockets will battle OKC next year without fear....and we wont fear the Heat either!! Would the Harden-less Rockets fear the 2013-14 Thunder if the trade was not made....maybe; but the 2013-14 Thunder would be Harden-less also (without K Marts expiring contract, Jeremy Lamb, and future picks).
Agree or disagree?

What: Also known as raspados, raspas are essentially snow cones: cups or plastic bags of shaved ice flavored by various syrups, sometimes topped with fruit and/or condensed milk (raspar = to scrape). They’re found all over Mexico, especially around the corners of zócalos. As might be imagined, they’re super refreshing on a meltingly hot day.
Where: We enjoyed our raspa in Oaxaca’s zócalo in the early evening. Shaved right off a block of ice, it was doused with tamarind syrup, which the raspador assured us was more traditional than some of the other offerings—flavors like strawberry and cappuccino, chocolate, lechera (condensed milk)—that are no doubt preferred by kids today. It’s very sweet and cold, like an extra-icy Slurpee.

It is possible to compute equivalent aperture by multiplying the lens aperture by the crop factor (a.k.a. focal length multiplier). The essential physical specifications of the two cameras, as well as a larger range of comparable cameras, are summarized in the table below. To show and compare another camera pair, you may use the CAM-parator app, which allows you to choose your camera combination from among a vast number of available possibilities. The following is a comparison of the rear view sizes of the Olympus TG-6 with the Olympus TG-4. The front view size comparison of the Olympus TG-6 and the Olympus TG-4 is shown in the table below. On the other side, it is 1mm wider and 1mm thicker than the Olympus TG-4, with a width of 113mm and a thickness of 32mm, respectively, compared to the Olympus TG-4.
Enter the diagonal size of your screen.
The Olympus TG-6 is a modern model that is now available in the company’s current product line-up. The TG-4, on the other hand, has been phased out of production (but can be found pre-owned on ebay). The Olympus TG-4 was replaced by the Olympus TG-5, which was part of the same family of cameras as the TG-4.
Crop Factor is an acronym Olympus Tough TG 6 and Olympus Tough TG 4 that stands for Crop Factor.
When printing with the Olympus TG-6, the appropriate dimensions are 20 by 15 inches (50.8 by 38.9 centimeters) for good quality, 16 by 12 inches (40.6 x 30.5 cm) for very good quality, and 13 by 10 inches (33.9 by 25.4 centimeters) for exceptional quality prints. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, considering that we consider the TG-5 to be the greatest waterproof camera, one of the best cameras for kids, and the best camera with GPS, among other things. It’s true what they say about not fixing something that is not broken – and as you can see in our video review below, you’d have to travel a long way to break this camera. The greater the pixel pitch, the greater the distance between them and the greater the size of each pixel. Generally speaking, larger pixels provide a higher signal to noise ratio and a wider dynamic range.
Find out whether the two cameras are among the best in the business in the most recent Best Travel-Zoom Camera ranking, which is updated weekly. The TG-6, in terms of technology, has a more sophisticated image processing engine than the TG-4, which provides advantages in terms of noise reduction, color accuracy, and processing speed. The Olympus TG-6 is equipped with a 12.0MP (1/2.) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and the TruePic VIII image processing engine. The Olympus TG-4, on the other hand, has a 16.0MP (1/2.) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and is equipped with the TruePic VII processor. The LCD panels of the Olympus TG-6 and Olympus TG-4 have the same diagonal dimension of 3.00 inches “…..
Both cameras feature a telephoto lens with a reach of 100mm and a maximum aperture of f4.90 at this focal length, which is identical. Unfortunately, both cameras have fixed displays, which means that they cannot be tilted or flipped in any way. Another consideration is weight, which is particularly significant when choosing a camera that you will be carrying about with you all day. Despite the fact that the Olympus TG-4 is 6 grams lighter than the Olympus TG-6, we do not believe that this will make a substantial impact. First, let us take a quick look at the most important characteristics of the Olympus TG-6 and Olympus TG-4 before moving on to our more in-depth comparison.
We’re comparing the Olympus TG-4 and the Olympus TG-6, both of which are waterproof digital cameras produced by Olympus and are comparable in price. Although there is a significant variation in the sensor resolutions of the TG-4 and the TG-6, all cameras have the same sensor size (1/2.3 inch) and the same sensor resolution “If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected]. The table below gives a synthesis of the camera evaluations provided by some of the most well-known photo-gear review sites on the internet (amateurphotographer , cameralabs , digitalcameraworld , dpreview , ephotozine , photographyblog ). As can be seen, the expert reviewers generally agree on the overall quality of various cameras, although their ratings may vary in certain instances, emphasizing the previous argument that choosing a camera is typically a highly personal decision. Larger sensors are more effective since they have a larger surface area for capturing light than smaller sensors. When comparing digital cameras, the generation of the camera is also a crucial thing to consider.
Despite the fact that we haven’t concluded our assessment of the Olympus TG-6, we have a large number of sample photographs and a hands-on report to share with you. Even at the lowest ISO setting, there is significant noise reduction; there is no continuous RAW picture recording; and the video performance is disappointing. With a focal length of 25mm, both cameras provide a wide angle coverage and have the same maximum aperture of f2.00 at this focal length.
Color depth (“DXO Portrait”), dynamic range (“DXO Landscape”), and low-light sensitivity (“DXO Sports”) of camera sensors are all evaluated and scored by this service. An overall camera score is also published by this service. An overview of the physical sensor parameters, as well as the results of the DXO sensor quality testing, is provided in the accompanying table for a selection of comparator-cameras. Because the sensor sizes of the Olympus TG-6 and Olympus TG-4 are the identical, they will enable the same amount of control over depth of field when utilized with the same focal length and aperture settings. For its part, because to its bigger pixel area (which is 32% more than that of the Olympus TG-4), the Olympus TG-6 is capable of capturing more light on the pixel level and producing photos with less noise in low light and high ISO conditions.
Additional Comparisons of the Olympus Tg
When the size of the pixel is increased, the amount of light that can be gathered by that pixel increases. The size of the sensor is typically considered to be a reliable measure of the quality of the camera. As a general rule, the larger the sensor, the higher the quality of the images captured. When it comes to storing image data, both the TG-4 and the TG-6 write their files on SDXC memory cards. Both cameras are compatible with UHS-I cards, which allow for ultra-fast data transmission rates of up to 104 MB/s when using the cards. Please keep in mind that the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens that you are using at the time of the shoot.
The Olympus website has further information on the two cameras (including user guides and manuals) as well as associated accessories. Both the Olympus TG-4 and the Olympus TG-6 cameras are equipped with an intervalometer. In this way, the photographer may shoot time lapse sequences of natural phenomena such as flower blossoming and sunsets and moon rises without the need to invest in an additional camera trigger and associated software. It is possible to charge the battery packs of both cameras using a USB cable, which may be quite useful while traveling. The TG-4 and the TG-6 have a portability rating of 90 and 90, respectively, based on their size and weight.

We have these as a family tradition. Kills the hand with a manual press, but worth it. Other shapes or with flavored gelatin added, make great wedding desserts. More color and flavor! Non wreath stores and freezes ok too. Thanks for a memory restored, I lost the recipe.

My mom made these cookies with my great-grandma and I've made these with my mom since I can remember. Christmas wouldn't be the same without these cookies. I now make these cookies with my son, but I'm not as patient as my mom and I use the tree disc on my cookie press :) I know that they do freeze well.
Dec 28, 2009
they taste good but very fragile nothing to write home about,press and working with a cookie press was very frustrating particularly the newest pampered chef brand. The green cherries and red hots fell off, did not stay on so good

Dame Sybil THORNDIKE DBE (1882-1976)
THIS IS YOUR LIFE - Dame Sybil Thorndike, actress, was surprised by Eamonn Andrews at the BBC Television Centre during a recording of the Prologue to Henry VIII.
Sybil began her acting career at the age of 21, touring the United States with the actor-manager Ben Greet's Shakespearean Repertory Company. On her return to England she became a leading figure in Annie Horniman's Repertory Company in Manchester.
She spent much of World War I at the Old Vic Theatre playing virtually every female role in Shakespeare. In a career highlight she created the title role of Shaw’s Saint Joan which the playwright had written with the actress in mind.
Sybil Thorndike's son, John Casson, recalls This Is Your Life in his biography of his parents, Lewis & Sybil, A Memoir by John Casson...
It was bad luck for me that of the two of her children who were away over the ocean, and could therefore be brought into the programme as a shock surprise, Ann in Canada and I in Australia, Ann was the nearer.
I don’t think it is always realised what a shock such appearances can be, especially to older people. They showed her shots of Ann in Canada. Suddenly Ann walked in and Sybil said afterwards she thought it was some new form of three-dimensional projection.
I must say I felt a long way away when I was asked to record a two-minute message on a tape knowing that the rest of the family were all having a surprise meeting together.
Sybil of course carried it off superbly, but somehow they both felt awful, in different ways, that Lewis had known about it and had had to keep it a secret from her. They have always hated secrets from each other. Lewis had quite a bad feeling of guilt about it, which added to his more and more frequent bouts of depression.
In her biography of Thorndike, writer Elizabeth Sprigge recalls This Is Your Life...
On October 10th she appeared on BBC television in This Is Your Life, the programme which, unknown to the protagonist, invites people to meet on the screen the celebrity in whose life they have played a part.
Sybil was invited to the studio, as she thought, simply to record the moving Prologue to Henry VIII and the heartbreaking speeches of Queen Katharine. This she did superbly. Hearing those speeches, delivered with consummate grace, at a recent replay of the programme, viewers and technicians were as moved as the original audience. On this evening in 1960, Eamonn Andrews suddenly appeared.
“Hullo,” said Sybil, friendly and surprised.
Eamonn Andrews congratulated her on her performance, then explained that it was not the real reason for her being there, and handed her a large volume entitled This Is Your Life.
“Oh crikey!” Sybil exclaimed, words that are joyfully remembered by the planners of the programme. But it really was a shock to her, and she could scarcely forgive Lewis, who soon appeared to talk of their happy life and endless arguments, for having kept the secret so well.
Her brother Russell came to recall older memories, with Jenny Hyman of those early musical days, a postmistress from the Rhondda Valley, Joseph Kirby, who had taught Sybil to fly in Alice, and a member of the staff from the Leper Colony near Hong Kong.
Fellow actors came to add their tributes, John Casson broadcast from Melbourne and a film showed Ann’s children in Canada, after which she herself dramatically appeared, flown over for the occasion. The programme had a dream-like quality with its anachronistic dives into the past, the young old and the old young again.

With everything from hot tubs to medicine men, an upcoming event is offering a wealth of wellness options for both the body and soul.
The increasingly popular Body and Soul Wellness Fair returns Saturday and Sunday at the Vernon Recreation Complex auditorium.
The free event showcases 57 exhibitors Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
With more and more people waking up to the positive benefits of alternative therapies in the North Okanagan, organizers say this is an excellent opportunity to bring options to the forefront.
“It unites the different healing modes within the community,” said event organizer and co-founder Chris Madsen, who is also a musician and runs his own music school.
Madsen came up with idea for the event five years ago, and with co-founder Ashleigh Magill they planted the seeds and have watched the event grow.
Even in its initial year, it wasn’t hard to sell the idea as the event saw 1,000 people come through the doors.
“Right from the beginning it was a success,” said Madsen, adding that there was no resistance to the idea.
Since the event kicked off five years ago it has not only become an annual event, but has grown in popularity so much that the event now takes place twice a year.
Magill suggests the reason the fair continues to be such a popular event is because more and more people are discovering the alternatives available on their journey to well-being.
“Everybody’s waking up whether it’s spiritually, mentally or physically,” said Magill, who is also a creative director at Nature’s Fare. “And we’re waking more and more people up. It’s a virus of love.”
For those who have yet to tap into the benefits, the fair gives locals an opportunity to check out what’s available.
“It’s one thing to think in your mind, ‘I want to get healthy, what can I Google?’” said Magill.
But the Body and Soul Wellness Fair is, “a way for people to connect.”

Laszlo Kovacs, a Hungarian cinematographer who fell in love with the American landscape on a cross-country bus ride and then used light, shadow and imagination to give visual shape to seminal films like “Easy Rider,” died on Sunday at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif. He was 74.
His death was announced by the International Cinematographers Guild. James Chressanthis, a cinematographer who is preparing a documentary on Mr. Kovacs and his friend and fellow cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond, said that the cause was not known but that Mr. Kovacs had earlier had cancer.
Mr. Kovacs came along in the 1960s when the old studio system was sputtering and a new independent cinema was rising. Filmmakers emerged from film schools and work on B movies to challenge traditional themes and techniques and create what has been called “the new Hollywood,” or “the American new wave.”
Production moved from the studios to the streets, and the new breed used small crews, lightweight equipment and innovative means of coping with low budgets. Improvisation was both artistic goal and hard necessity. In “Easy Rider” (1969), Mr. Kovacs used a 1968 Chevrolet convertible as his camera car, making the platform for his camera from a piece of plywood on the trunk held in place by a sandbag.
In that movie, he wanted to portray something hopeful after the fiery demise of the character played by Peter Fonda. A rising helicopter delivered a panoramic view of the horizon, but only after Mr. Kovacs balanced a camera on one skid and counterweights on the other to keep the helicopter from tipping over.
In “Five Easy Pieces” (1970), Mr. Kovacs memorably matched the color of Susan Anspach’s blue eyes and the sky. In another scene, he shot Ms. Anspach and then let his camera drift elsewhere; she scurried behind the camera and he arrived back at her face, giving the illusion that the shot had gone all the way around the room.Continue reading the main story
His tricks included using flashing lights and other techniques to create the impression of psychedelic hallucinations. His goal was to let the environment make statements about the characters. He intended for the foggy islands of the Pacific Northwest to explain the tight little family in “Five Easy Pieces.”
Most of his major works are clustered at the start of the 1970s, including “That Cold Day in the Park” (1969), Robert Altman’s third feature as a director, and “The King of Marvin Gardens” (1972), which, like “Five Easy Pieces,” was directed by Bob Rafelson. He did six pictures with the director Peter Bogdanovich, including “Targets” (1968), “What’s Up, Doc?” (1972) and “Paper Moon” (1973).
His range grew wider, with credits including Martin Scorsese’s movies “New York, New York” (1977) and “The Last Waltz” (1978) and Hal Ashby’s “Shampoo” (1975). Other movies included “Ghost Busters” (1984) and “My Best Friend’s Wedding” (1997).
Mr. Kovacs was born on May 14, 1933, in Cece, a farming village about 60 miles west of Budapest. During the Nazi occupation, he distributed flyers for the propaganda movies shown each week in a school auditorium. His pay was a free seat, and he was fascinated by the flickering images.
In 1945, he was accepted into the Academy of Drama and Film Art in Budapest, where students watched Western films surreptitiously. He was swept off his feet by “Citizen Kane,” saying it “changed my visual vocabulary.”
In the uprising against the Communist regime in 1956, he and Mr. Zsigmond shot 30,000 feet of film at great risk to themselves. They escaped with the film, and some of it eventually became part of a documentary a few years later.
They both bounced among odd jobs. Around 1957, Mr. Kovacs, who had arrived in the United States speaking no English, moved from New Jersey to Seattle, taking the memorable bus ride that found echoes later in “Easy Rider.” In 1959, he took another bus to Los Angeles, where he reunited with Mr. Zsigmond.
Mr. Kovacs did movies like “The Notorious Daughter of Fanny Hill” (1966), often working with the B movie producer Roger Corman. After he shot eight biker movies in one year, Dennis Hopper asked him to do another. Mr. Kovacs’s reluctance to repeat himself vanished after Mr. Hopper acted out the script. “Easy Rider,” with a budget of $340,000, was a sensation at Cannes and made $60 million.
Mr. Kovacs is survived by his wife, Audrey, and his daughters Julianna and Nadia.
He prided himself on spontaneity. He and the other crew members had no preconceived idea where they would shoot the classic scene in “Five Easy Pieces” in which Jack Nicholson orders a chicken salad sandwich without the chicken salad just to get the toast he wants.
“Approaching the freeway, we saw a little rise, and there was the cafe,” he said in an interview with American Cinematographer magazine in 2005. “I think we shot that scene in two hours, and then we moved on.”
An obituary on Thursday about the cinematographer Laszlo Kovacs misspelled the surname of a fellow Hungarian cinematographer at two points. As noted elsewhere in the obituary, he is Vilmos Zsigmond, not Szigmond. The obituary also misstated the date of the Robert Altman film “That Cold Day in the Park,” on which Mr. Kovacs worked, and referred incorrectly to it. It was released in 1969, not 1970, and it was Mr. Altman’s third feature as a director, not his “first venture into longer narrative filmmaking.”

The nitration process using nitrogen dioxide and oxygen instead of the classical nitric acid–sulfuric acid system appears to be attractive and promising in the selective preparation of nitro compounds. The ratio of 1-nitronaphthalene isomer to 2-nitronaphthalene can reach 11 in a moderate yield of 60 % when the reaction is carried out in acetonitrile with 5.0 mmol naphthalene, 10 mmol nitrogen dioxide, and 0.13 g HZSM-5 under molecular oxygen atmosphere at −15 °C. The isomeric distribution of the product nitro-naphthalene was found to be superior to traditional methods. The zeolite could be easily regenerated and recycled and reused by simple work-up to give results similar to those obtained with the fresh catalyst.

The global urea market has entered 2022 on a significantly softer footing, with sentiment switching in the aftermath of India’s latest purchasing inquiry.
The IPL tender saw purchases capped, with close to 1.2m. tonnes booked by India for January shipment. This was far lower than many in the market had expected. Indeed, with the world’s largest urea importer now not expected to return until March at the earliest, and demand in other regions currently limited, the excess supply will need to be directed to markets that have been trading at a major discount to India for some time.
The 23 December IPL tender saw volumes booked at $894pt cfr west coast and $899.50pt cfr east coast. This brought lower fob values than the market had seen in weeks prior to the tender. However, traders have not struggled to cover awards in the past week, and producers on the whole have been willing to back the business to place volume and minimize exposure to other markets.
In the Middle East, netbacks over $860pt fob were quickly accepted by producers, and Malaysia also sold two cargoes at similar levels in the past week. At least five FSU cargoes have been committed at $810-820pt fob Black Sea equivalent, and slightly lower prices were achieved from the Baltic.
Meanwhile, with European buyers yet to return to the market following the holidays, granular urea ex-Egyptian Mediterranean was sold under $850pt fob to India. Although many producers with small volumes in hand continue to indicate at much higher levels, there has been no interest amongst buyers to pay these levels.
Nola market on edge
With around two months to go until river opens, the offseason Nola market has been on edge following the latest Indian purchasing tender owing to the lack of bullish sentiment in the international market. Barge values underwent a dramatic decline midweek as a result, with a number of traders with January and February positions significantly cutting offers in order to entice buyers back into the market.
This led to January values tumbling by $120ps ton from business that took place late last week, down to a low of $615ps ton fob Nola. February barge values also experienced similar declines.
However, these prices appeared sharp relative to elsewhere, and distributor interest emerged the following day. The higher bids soon pushed nearby prices back up, with January barges recovering by $85ps ton from the lowest point and trading up to $700ps ton fob Nola.
The volatility in Nola characterizes a market that is searching for a new equilibrium post-India. Owing to the significant decrease in fob values globally as a result of the Indian netbacks, the Profercy World Nitrogen Index has fallen by 21.66 points this week to 421.61. This is the largest decline made by the Index since December 2011.

There’s a new campaign urging teens to get more sleep for their health.
The Northeast Wisconsin Mental Health Connection partnered with the Willems Student Marketing Team in Appleton to create “Dream On: Teens Need Zzz’s.”
Maddie Tesch is a senior at Appleton North High School. She says students can have extremely busy schedules between school, sports and jobs. She says that makes it hard for them to get the recommended eight to 10 hours of sleep a night.
A study by the CDC shows that more than two-thirds of high school students don’t get enough sleep on school nights. Tesch says that can lead to higher rates of depression and violence.
They launched the campaign last night.

It was a brisk and cool afternoon as we departed Steamboat. Our destination; Clark, Colorado and Hahn's Peak.
We arrived to pick up my snowmobiles late in the day (about 1pm) only to find them in use by the people whose house they were at. We decided to make use of the time by preparing for our trip.
While reviewing footage on my camera, I realized I forgot to bring a blank tape. Durr... I had some stuff I could record over, but not much. The point of our trip was to explore some places out for a future trip so I wasn't to worried about it.
After waiting for about 45 minutes the snowmobiles came back and we were off.
We really had no idea where we were going to we just headed in the direction of the big mountain known as Hahn's Peak.
After some consultation with the map we decided to continue North into the area known as Big Red Park. This is where 30,000 hippies gathered over the summer for what is known as the "Rainbow Gathering". Expecting to see something on the way we could set up for some quick photos, we found nothing. We really wanted to find some old cabin/barn to jib since there is an abundance of those type of things in Northwest Colorado, but no.
Here we found what looked to be pretty promising; an old cabin and what looked like old mining equipment. However, there were no trespassing signs posted everywhere. There were already snowmobile tracks going up, so we decided we could at least go up and find a a spot to turn around (since we were on a narrow singletrack trail and we are way too lazy to drag our sleds around ourselves).
So we continued up and found a little cabin. We went around it and realized that there was a Satellite dish on the side, Solar panels on the roof, a nice snowmobile sitting out front, and a huge pile of wood. Plus there was one of those big yellow "Don't tread on me" flags with the snake on it. Clearly it was occupied and being afraid we were about to get shot we high tailed it out of there.
It was getting dark so we started heading back, but not before exploring one last trail that goes pretty much straight up Hahn's Peak. We start going up and cha-ching. We find all the money spots for ripping pow, building jumps, and all that good stuff, but the sun was setting and it was too dark to get any decent pictures. We took a mental note of the spot to go straight back to for a future trip and started the half hour plus trip back towards Steamboat Lake and Clark.
I had my skis with me the whole time, but never once got to put them on. The trip was still tons of fun, we found some sick stuff to bring a crew up to next time and get some sweet shots. Plus, Sean took one of the best pictures I have ever seen:
Thanks to Sean Sullivan, photographer and head of Prosper Clothing, for coming with me and taking all these dope pictures. Look forward to an update soon with some actual skiing in it.

Kim Kardashian might have worn the smallest bandeau top.
It’s not uncommon for members of the Kardashian-Jenner family to experiment with oversized clothing, and Kim’s tiny top is really, really small. During her appearance at Art Basel in Miami, Kim welcomed the warmer weather and paired a super-small latex top with biker pants and boots.
For her look, Kim wore a black bandeau top that was basically the size of my arm. She combined the black part with eye-catching pants. The detailed pants featured patterns in different shades that came together at the back. Although you can’t see it in the photos she took along the way, Kim also wore a belt.
Always an accessory, Kim paired oversized black sunglasses with her black leather boots. The boots were somewhat mesmerizing with what appeared to be pieces of fabric covering the bottom of the shoes.
Kim shared a few snaps of her “fit” on Instagram and even posed with Serena Williams. Her sister Khloë Kardashian joined Kim for the evening and was photographed in a black bodysuit. “MIA,” Kim captioned the photos.
As confirmed by her hairdresser, Chris Appleton, Kim’s trip to Miami also involved a hair color change. “Honey 4 Miami,” Chris wrote, sharing a picture of Kim sporting a new and softer shade of blonde.
The switch to honey blonde comes after Kim continued to rock a platinum shade. She debuted the original color at the Met Gala and has been letting her darker roots shine through ever since. At one point, Kim Kardashian had cut off some of her longer hair and sported a short and voluminous style for Milan Fashion Week.

Irish alt-pop upstart April has announced the details for her debut, major-label mixtape STARLANE, as well as sharing a brand new track, 54321.
Due for release this September via Atlantic Records, STARLANE is inspired in part by April's decision to move to London from the small village she grew up in in County Kildare; distilling "an intense period of transience and independence into high-octane pop."
Lead single 54321 is a ferocious, UK garage-inspired track co-written with Matt Maltese and produced by Danny Casio, who has worked with the likes of Griff and recent Mercury Prize nominee Joy Crookes.
Named for the local DLR station near where the music was recorded, April says of STARLANE: "The music feels like stars; a lane is a kind of road. It's about going in a new direction. STARLANE is definitely marking a new start; I want to cleanse the palate and start from scratch."
Listen to April's new single 54321 below
54321 is out now via Atlantic. STARLANE follows this September.

This campaign season, HuffPost Canada is going past the sales pitch, away from the attacks and beyond the ballot.
Our Beyond the Ballot series is deep diving into three major problems facing Canadians: climate change, housing insecurity, and elder care. This election is our opportunity to join forces and figure out how to solve them.
It is a well known fact that Canada's population is aging like all other developed countries in the world. The rate of aging is alarming. In less than 10 years time, 20 per cent of Canadians will be over 65 years old. And among the seniors, the fastest growing segment is the oldest seniors, those over the age of 85.
They are the most vulnerable, more likely to be alone or isolated, and require a lot more health resources than any other segment. Traditionally, residential long-term care has been the default response to their care requirements. After allocating licences for 20,000 nursing home beds in 1999, the province of Ontario has not planned any more large scale systematic release of new nursing bed licences, not because of the lack of needs, but because of budgetary reasons. As the health budget is already taking a lion's share of the whole provincial budget, it is understandable the government is reluctant to continue to expand the number of nursing home beds, which is not an inexpensive way of taking care of the most frail and dependent group of the senior population.
It is obvious the status quo is not sustainable, nor does it meet the needs of the burgeoning aging population. Take Yee Hong Centre for Geriatric Care as an example. The waiting list is over 4000 long, and the waiting time is expected to be over nine years. For a senior who is frail and weak enough to qualify to be on the waiting list, waiting for another nine years for admission is painfully not tolerable. Moreover, not only are today's seniors anxious if there will be care for them when they need it. They wish to have choices including to continue living in the community with support for as long as possible before placement into a long-term care home is absolutely unavoidable.
So what are the choices? Having adult children stepped up to their responsibility to take care of the seniors at home thereby sacrificing their career, hopes and dreams, or neglecting the seniors with inadequate care compounding the physical and mental suffering of those who cared for us when we were unable to take care of ourselves?
Neither choice is acceptable.
We are proposing an innovative way to find a solution to this problem. We call this long-term care at home, or LTC@Hm for short.
Here are the main features of the proposal:
1. LTC@Hm is for those who are qualified for LTC facilities, and are on waiting lists for the beds;
2. It has to deliver the Right Care, at the Right Time, in the Right Place;
3. It has to cost less than 50 per cent to the government of what it costs to take care of a senior in a LTC home;
4. Unless under some very unusual circumstances, there has to be a co-payment from the senior's family, using a formula taking into account of various factors that impact on the senior's financial wellbeing;
5. Services have to be culturally and language appropriate;
6. The eventual objective is to support seniors to stay healthy and at home for as long as possible, avoiding or delaying institutionalization, reducing E.R. visits and hospitalization, and cutting the length of long-term care home waiting lists. These will be the yardsticks of success.
We believe that this is workable, a win-win-win solution. This combines the resources of the government, family, and community together to make the services sustainable.
This proposal should work in cities in different provinces. We appeal to the federal politicians to work with their provincial counterparts to provide funding to create pilot projects to test out the concept.
ABOUT THE YEE HONG CONTINUUM OF CARE
Officially opened in October 1994, Yee Hong Centre for Geriatric Care is a caring community where seniors enjoy a continuum of culturally and linguistically appropriate care to live their lives to the fullest -- in the healthiest, most independent and dignified ways. With a person-centred approach, Yee Hong annually fulfills close to 200,000 service requests for seniors and families across the GTA, through its 805 long-term care beds in four campuses, over 700 senior apartment units, five adult day programs, medical clinics and numerous satellite programs delivering community support services, and caregivers education and support programs.
Some issues go beyond talking points. Tell us what they are on Twitter or Facebook with the hashtag #BeyondTheBallot.
