On 28-30 September 2021, the RegulAIR project team attended the first-ever international drone incursion exercise at a fully operational airport. Organized by INTERPOL, the Norwegian Police, Avinor, and UAS Norway, the event gathered C-UAS technology vendors, police officers, officials from government agencies, and experts from around the world, with the aim of testing C-UAS technology, and of discussing the challenges and opportunities for detecting, tracking, and intercepting unmanned aircrafts. The exercise was a culmination of eighteen months of planning and served not only as an opportunity to test cutting-edge technology in an operational setting, but also as a forum for discussions on practical, societal, and legal aspects of the threat posed by non-cooperative drones.
The exponential increase in civilian drone use in the past years has led to wide range of security concerns in both civilian and military settings. The 2018 drone sighting at Gatwick airport, and its extensive economic and security implications, revealed airport security and law enforcement's unpreparedness in the face of non-cooperative drones.
A 2019 incident at Solvær Airport in Norway involving a drone detected less than 100 meters from an airplane, triggering its anti-collision system, further exposed the severity of the issue of drone-use near airports. This summer, the Norwegian Police ran an exercise wherein they deployed drone detection technology in order to assess the true scope of drone-use around Oslo International Airport. It revealed that in the month of July, out of 125 drone flights detected by the police, only two flights had been approved, and dozens were detected in violation of the drone flight rules because they were too close to the airport. These security concerns are compounded by a range of practical and legal considerations, including strict legal restrictions on C-UAS use – making the deployment of C-UAS technology exceedingly difficult – as well as larger societal implications related to securitization of airspace.
At the exercise, RegulAIR Project Leader, Bruno Oliveira Martins, presented the findings his 2020 co-authored report on C-UAS technology, Countering the Drone Threat: Implications of C-UAS Technology for Norway in an EU and NATO Context. The report examines the challenges of counter-drone technology, looking at both civilian and military scenarios for C-UAS application. These scenarios include drones in the proximity of large crowds in urban areas (which in fact occurred in Norway in 2019 when two drones were stopped during the 17th of May celebrations in Oslo), armed drone attacks on Norwegian oil platforms, and drone incursions in an airport. Each scenario involves a myriad of different challenges, illustrating the complexities of civilian and military efforts to counter non-cooperative drones. These considerations all take place within an EU and a NATO context, adding a further dimension of complexity to the issue.
The exercise itself took place over three days, involving 17 different suppliers of C-UAS technology from Europe and the United States. The technology tested was for detection, tracking and interception. The vendors tested their individual systems with police-piloted drones, simulating scenarios involving non-cooperative drones. Each C-UAS system was scored based on their ability to sense, track, and identify drones.
Topics of discussion during the exercise included drone incident reporting, geofencing and its potential ability to solve drone incursions, and considerations for selecting and operating C-UAS systems. A workshop on how to handle drone incursions was organized after the tests had concluded, allowing experts and stakeholders to discuss the larger considerations and challenges facing the use of C-UAS technology. The three-day exercise concluded with a panel discussion on drone incursions at airports with representatives from the Norwegian Police Directorate, UAS Norway, INTERPOL, Avinor, the Norwegian Police, and Widerøe.

PrawfsBlawg: Bill Henderson Is Burning Through His Reputational Capital, by Matt Bodie (St. Louis):
As the person who brought the bimodal salary distribution to the legal masses, Bill Henderson has earned a substantial amount of respect from academics, practicing attorneys, and law students. His early warnings about the dire job market and its effect on law schools, students, and recent alums have proven correct. His academic research on the future of law firms, the plight of junior associates, and the use of LSAT scores has moved the ball forward in these areas and has often challenged the conventional wisdom. Henderson is not afraid of being a prophet, even when the people reject the prophecy.
... This year, however, Henderson's tone has begun to change. ...
Henderson has taken a "double-down" strategy to his predictions of institutional collapse. In an op-ed published by the National Law Journal, he argues that massive layoffs would not be nearly enough -- instead, schools need to close. Framing his piece as a "letter" to a hypothetical university president, Henderson essentially argues that law schools have two choices: close or adopt a radical new pedagogical agenda. ...
Henderson, like other reformers ("rebels"),
has a strong perspective not only on the problems faced by legal
education but also on the proper solutions. His solution to the law
school crisis -- one that involves a substantial and largely unexplored
change to legal pedagogy -- may be the answer to the field's longer-term
problems. But I fear that instead of reporting on the crisis,
Henderson is now using it to try to leverage a few shocked university
presidents into adopting his methods. In the process of drumming up
panic with wild-eyed claims and the specter of closures, Henderson risks
squandering a pile of reputational capital that only a few legal
academics have managed to achieve in the first place.
The Legal Whiteboard: A Serious Debate over the Problems Facing Law Schools, by Bill Henderson (Indiana):
I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio during the 60s, 70s, 80s and witnessed the
slowness of the region to accept that its industrial glory days were
behind it. All people, including really smart people, have a hard time
accepting large-scale institutional change--emotion obscures a reasoned
analysis of the facts. This is why Who Moved by Cheese, My Iceberg is Melting,
and other change management classics are written as fables. And yes, I
see the same slowness to respond within the legal academy. That
slowness has costs. ..
Truth be told, I probably did risk some reputational capital writing the
"Calculus of University President." But I am deeply worried about the
future of legal education, and using the history of other industries as a
guide, we are likely to underestimate the realities of the emerging
legal landscape. See Richard Susskind, Tomorrow's Lawyers
(discusing this future in intricate detail). So why not risk some of my
reputational capital? I will make some people, like Matt, angry, but I
might spur others to actions sooner rather than later. So be it. The
purpose of tenure is to facilitate these judgment calls. I can live

The 2018 NBA All-Star weekend was the place to be this year. With all the weekend festivities and the game itself, it made it one for the books. Last night during the game, superstar groups N.E.R.D. and Migos teamed up to give an amazing halftime show performing fan favorites like “Stir Fry” and “Lemon.”
N.E.R.D. kicked off the performance with their medley of hits from their latest album, “No One Ever Really Dies” while Migos came in with their electric rendition of standout track “Stir Fry” off their newest album, “Culture 2.” N.E.R.D. then came back in and closed out the show with their hit song “Lemon” accompanied by the dancer from the music video.
Watch their halftime performance below and let us know if you were feeling it.

Once you have been assessed as having needs, services must be arranged or provided by your local Trust to meet your needs.
Unfortunately, there are times that there may be a delay or a failure in meeting your assessed needs. Below, we help you overcome these problems if they ever arise.
Delay in meeting assessed needs
It is often the case that a Trust will not refuse to provide the service but will operate a waiting list due to financial constraints which could mean a delay in having your needs met.
As noted, a trust must carry out a statutory duty and, where no time limit for doing so is set down in the legislation, the law implies that it should be carried out within a ‘reasonable’ period of time. This allows someone who has been on a waiting list for a considerable amount of time to take court action to force the trust to provide the service.
If you have been placed on a waiting list for a service and you feel that there has been excessive delay, you may make a complaint to the Ombudsman on the grounds of maladministration.
Failure in meeting assessed needs
If these services are not provided, the Trust would have failed in meeting your needs and you have the right to complain.
The Trust must provide these services throughout the year and must arrange or provide services during holiday periods or staff absences.
If you have been assessed as needing special equipment or adaptations, the Trust must ensure that these are installed and that you (or your carer) are trained on how to use them. Only then can it be said that your needs are being properly met. Therefore, you must be provided with the facilities or training to be able to access the services which are required to meet your assessed needs.

Legal Postmortem DNA Test
Legal Postmortem DNA Test – An unexpected death may leave a family wondering about the deceased’s relationship with other family members, especially children. Therefore, we perform post-mortem DNA testing on deceased individuals to compare their genetic material with living relatives. This type of genetic testing can significantly impact wills, estates, social security benefits, etc.
Surprisingly, it is much more challenging to test a person after they have passed away, and many laboratories cannot do so. However, testing for the paternity of deceased persons with AZ DNA is possible. A Legal Postmortem DNA Test provides an unequivocal answer. Now, the probability of the alleged father being the biological father is 0% if he is not the father, with a minimum probability of 99.99% if he is the biological father.
A+ Rating with the BBB. AZ DNA provides legal postmortem DNA test services across Arizona at the lowest prices.

Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Oct 12, 2020 / 15:00 pm
On Saturday, the ongoing saga of Vatican financial scandal – or reform, if you prefer – continued with the approval of several new changes to Vatican City law on transparency and economic oversight.
It also included the announcement that Cardinal Pietro Parolin will no longer sit on the reconstituted oversight board of the Institute for Works of Religious (IOR), commonly called the Vatican bank – the first time that the Secretary of State will not have a seat. That announcement is one of several indications that the cardinal and his department, both at the center of Church governance for years, may be losing influence and trust with Pope Francis.
Cardinal Parolin has, so far, remained largely aloof from the financial storm surrounding the curial department he leads, while the ongoing investigation has claimed the jobs of at least six former senior officials, and seen a dramatic fall from grace for his former chief deputy, Cardinal Angelo Becciu.
Parolin himself has – so far – attracted little scrutiny for his role in overseeing the financial dealings of the curia's most central and politically powerful department. But the circumstances have begun to suggest that he could soon face difficult questions about his work and oversight of the Vatican's Secretariat of State.

U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III made a number of comments in a Friday hearing suggesting that he’s sympathetic to Paul Manafort’s attorneys’ argument that bank and tax fraud charges against him fall outside the scope of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia.
Ellis, a Ronald Reagan appointee who sits in the Eastern District of Virginia, told prosecutors: “You don’t really care about Mr. Manafort’s bank fraud. You really care about getting information Mr. Manafort can give you that would reflect on Mr. Trump and lead to his prosecution or impeachment.”* Ellis further cautioned the special counsel’s office against seeking “unfettered power” and said its statements that it is investigating allegations related to the 2016 election amount to “lying.”
Ellis’ comments, however, do not portend failure for Mueller’s prosecution of Manafort. For one, Mueller’s team has also brought money laundering and illegal-lobbying charges against Manafort in a D.C. federal court; while Manafort made similar arguments there about Mueller’s ostensible lack of authority, the D.C. judge seemed much more skeptical of his reasoning than Ellis did. Moreover, Ellis noted that his remarks did not indicate that the charges against Manafort were “illegitimate,” suggesting that perhaps they could be handled more appropriately by the local U.S. attorney’s office.
Yet Ellis’ apparent objections to the special counsel’s prosecution are profoundly flawed and unlikely to be upheld on appeal should he rule in Manafort’s favor. When Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Mueller to investigate potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, he licensed Mueller to look into “any matters that arose or may arise directly from” that investigation. Mueller was also licensed to investigate “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump.” Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, was clearly an individual “associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump” and this case obviously delves into “links” between him and the Russian government. Since that initial appointment order, Rosenstein has also expressly authorized Mueller to investigate any crimes Manafort may have committed “arising out of payments he received from the Ukrainian government.” One of those alleged crimes was bank fraud, which was necessary to launder money—the charges at the heart of Mueller’s prosecution of Manafort in Virginia federal court.
Ellis has now directed Mueller to give him an unredacted copy of the second Rosenstein memo—the redacted portions of which presumably wouldn’t pertain to the Manafort case—theoretically to confirm that the special counsel is still acting within the scope of his authority in this current case. But the redacted version itself spells out that Mueller is, indeed, following his mandate in this specific case. So why would the judge need the unredacted letter, unless he had other concerns or motivations? His comments accusing Mueller’s team of lying and openly questioning their intentions indicate a broader displeasure with the special counsel. This behavior is puzzling; there is no rule prohibiting prosecutors from bringing charges against one individual in order to flip another. And there is certainly no bar on prosecutors bringing valid charges against an associate of the president with the ultimate goal of his prosecution or impeachment.
The most likely explanation for Ellis’ conduct, then, is that he is applying “stare Scalia.” The late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia famously believed that a president had “complete control over investigation and prosecution of violations of the law,” leading him to condemn special investigations that excluded the chief executive. Yet Scalia expressed this view in dissent, and it is still not the law today. Further, the law governing the special counsel does not place it outside the command of the Justice Department, which is an executive branch agency ultimately controlled by the president—so any concerns about the special counsel’s excessive independence are unfounded. Ellis’ dismay at the Manafort prosecution seems to arise more from a theoretical, Scalia-esque objection to the special counsel’s wide-ranging investigation than a genuine qualm about its legality. Should he dismiss all or some of the charges, Mueller’s team will directly appeal his ruling to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, where they will very likely win. But Ellis’ decision could still do political damage, giving Trump a talking point in his ongoing rants against the special counsel’s “witch hunt.”
*Correction, May 4, 2018: This post originally misspelled Ronald Reagan’s first name.


Lately, the mention of his name results in an instant cringe. To be honest, I’ve never been a huge fan of him, mostly because his focus on being “real” or “blunt” just comes off as rude and arrogant. However, that one episode of his show that blasted Islam, and the one where Ben Affleck defended Islam, really escalated my apathy to disdain and dislike.
My main issue with Maher is that he is a self-proclaimed liberal. He believes that he stands for the minorities and helps those who do not have a voice, yet he commits microaggressions against non-white males on his show. He cuts them off during their arguments, but freaks out when someone else interrupts him. He arrogantly proclaims his progressive values, that he doesn’t believe in any religions, and that religion itself is a crutch and for the weak minded or uneducated. But Maher makes a clear distinction.
The usual Islamophobic suspects are generally laughable in how ridiculous their views or “facts” are, but what makes Bill Maher’s Islamophobic tendencies worse is that he believes he is being “progressive” and objective. It is his proclamation of being liberal that contrasts with those that are willing to state they are being discriminatory.
According to Maher, there are no such things as “moderate Muslims.” He says this not in a way that could actually makes sense, where moderate Muslim is a Western normative term, but instead he suggests the idea that any Muslim is a ticking time bomb ready to unleash their inner terrorist. Unnamed sources of information apparently gives Maher license to declare what “the majority of Muslims think.” Does he secretly live in South Asia, Indonesia, the Middle East, Africa, or any other areas with large Muslim population? Did he actually study Islam extensively? We know he isn’t Muslim, because he loves to proclaim how he’s so atheist. The fallacy is all too apparent- one can never truly state what majority of Muslim think. How can you categorize over a billion people?
Another favorite topic is Muslim women, another section of society in which he has zero experience. During an interview, Maher argues against other liberals, stating that women (mainly discussing Afghanistan) who wear burka or niqab are merely brainwashed into thinking they want to wear it. He doesn’t acknowledge any difference of opinion in religious or cultural garb, nor does he acknowledge these women having any agency over what they wear. Simply put, his views promote a Western normative view on how women should and shouldn’t dress, despite his so-called “liberal” values.
It is quite unusual for a liberal to sound like something off of a FOX News segment, which should have been a clue to Maher that his prejudices against Islam are not only misplaced but brews hate against a largely marginalized segment of society (especially in the West). For Bill Maher to truly consider himself liberal, as well as be progressive for better recognition of minorities, he needs to listen to others’ opinions and respect their choices. Personally, I think he would benefit from a social etiquette class.

Among the highlights from CMAP executive director Randy Blankenhorn, the Fairmont community receives Safe Routes to Schools funding for a sidewalk project, new Enery Impact Illinois webisodes featuring "The Energy Bills, updates and new on LTA projects in Fairmont, Joliet, and Lakemoor, a MetroPulse video shows how to make visualizations of presidential voting data, and public comments are due Friday, February 3 on air quality attainment. Subscribe to get Weekly Updates by e-mail.
Congratulations to Fairmont. This week, Governor Quinn announced Safe Routes to Schools funding, which includes $75,504 for a sidewalk project in the Fairmont community of Will County. Last year’s FLIP students helped to promote this project by constructing a model and working with local students and leaders to explore the importance of making sure that students have safe opportunities to walk to school. Those efforts, in turn, led to the CMAP Local Technical Assistance project in which Fairmont is now completing its first-ever neighborhood plan. Read more about that project below under "LTA in the news." Congratulations to Fairmont, Will County, and to our FLIP student leaders for working together to make this exciting project happen.
New EI2 webisodes. As part of the Energy Impact Illinois (EI2) alliance's mission, a current series of video webisodes features "The Energy Bills" in an informative yet entertaining look at how residents of northeastern Illinois can save energy and money by improving their home's efficiency. The second such video is highlighted at the policy blog of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) , which provided a $25 million grant to the CMAP-led alliance of utility companies, government agencies, and citizen advocacy groups working together to create a long-term market for improving the energy efficiency of the region's buildings.
Comment on amendments to Transportation Improvement Program. The CMAP Transportation Committee has released a conformity amendment to the FFY 2010-2015 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). This amendment is open to public comment for 30 days, from January 20 to February 20, 2012. Conformity analysis is part of the transportation modeling process that evaluates the impact of projects on air quality. On-road vehicle emissions are reviewed in certain years (currently 2016, 2020, 2030 and 2040) to determine that the region will reach national air quality goals. Please review the cover memo and list of conformity amendments. Comments mailed to CMAP, ATTN TIP amendments, 233 South Wacker Drive, Suite 800, Chicago, IL 60606, or submitted by e-mail or phone (312-454-0400).
Other News and Announcements
LTA updates. CMAP's Local Technical Assistance (LTA) program is helping the City of Joliet create a redevelopment plan for the former state correctional center and Iron and Steel Works sites. The second phase of development kicked-off on January 24 with Technical Assistance Panel (TAP) coordinated by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and attended by 90 people. This two-day panel generated a number of redevelopment opportunities for both sites. Community members also had the opportunity to speak with panelists and share their thoughts about the sites as well. An open house is planned for the early spring. On January 19, the Village of Lakemoor held their public kick off meeting for their new comprehensive plan. Thirty people came out on a cold January evening to participate in an interactive session to discuss the strengths and challenges this new plan should address.
LTA in the news. On January 30, 2012, CMAP and Will County will host a public open house to review the draft Fairmont Neighborhood Plan from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Shiloh Baptist Church. This week, the Joliet TribLocal previewed the upcoming meeting and CMAP's Trevor Dick is quoted. The existing conditions report for Fairmont is now available on-line.
CMAQ in the news. Evanston’s TribLocal covered how findings from a CTA Yellow Line feasibility study, engineering for which was funded through the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement program, identified Asbury Avenue as the best location for a new station. Wheaton’s City Council will vote next month on a comprehensive, long-term bike plan. Wheaton received two CMAQ grants to fund 80 percent of the $225,000 project to implement the plan’s top three priorities of route signage, maps, and bike racks.
CATMUG meeting. On February 1, CMAP will host a special meeting for the Chicago Area Travel Model User Group (CATMUG) at our offices (233 South Wacker Drive, Chicago) from noon to 1:00 p.m. The meeting will feature Dr. Claus Doll, who will speak about his European Union-funded research on adapted Europe's transport system for the effects of climate change.
Grants writing workshop. From March 20 to 21, Grant Writing USA will partner with the Cook County Sherriff’s Police Training Academy to host a grant writing workshop (2000 North 5th Avenue, Building R, Room 304, River Grove, IL) from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The workshop will cover writing grant proposals and tracking relevant grant opportunities.
Two I-GO discounts available. Employers in Cook County can receive up to $1,700 in incentives by providing a pre-tax transit benefit program to their employees before February 10. Between now and February 29, individuals can receive a $50 transit fare credit and a heavily discounted I-GO membership when they sign up for a Chicago Card Plus I-GO card, which seamlessly allows members to access CTA buses and trains and I-GO Car Sharing vehicles.
New energy savings program. The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus Clean Air Counts campaign and Energy Choices have launched a new energy savings program through Intergys Energy Services. While customers still receive service and bills from ComEd, the program has a price match fixed rate at 6.2¢/kWh (compared to ComEd’s current rate of 7.753¢/kWh) and includes four energy-saving compact fluorescent lights bulbs.
Energy efficiency savings report. The Center for Neighborhood Technology - Energy and the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy released a new report demonstrating how energy-efficiency upgrades in multifamily buildings could save building owners and residents up to $3.4 billion nationwide. "Engaging as Partners in Energy Efficiency: Multifamily Housing and Utilities" shows that energy use in multifamily buildings can be reduced substantially, and cost-effective upgrades can result in utility cost savings of 15 to 30 percent in buildings with five or more residential units. The key to unlocking the savings, the report finds, is for energy utilities and apartment building owners to work together more closely to develop effective energy efficiency policies. The report cites Illinois as among a handful of states that have a substantial number of multifamily buildings and energy policies that leave significant room for improvement.
Fact of the week. Based on the data from the 2010 American Community Survey, 33.3 percent of Chicago residents 25 and older held a bachelors degree or higher. Approximately 80 percent of respondents had a high school degree. Nationally, the respective figures were 28.2 percent and 85.6 percent.
Presidential voting data on MetroPulse. As the Republican primaries heat up, it’s interesting to take a look at some recent data on voter turnout in presidential elections across the CMAP region. The percent of the region’s voting age adults who voted in 2008 was 56 percent. That rate has increased in every county since 2000. Watch this video to see how you can make your own visualizations of voting data on MetroPulse.
Workers in the region. Comparing 2010 American Community Survey 5-year estimates with 2010 Census data shows that the number of workers age 16 and over increased in the region. The exception is DuPage County, which lost 2 percent of its workers. A separate analysis that breaks down total population by age group in DuPage County shows similar results -- nine of 16 age categories showed population decreases.
Chicago intermodal facility lift counts. CMAP recently compiled a regional summary of intermodal facility lift data provided by railroads for calendar year 2010. The summary also shows that, if Chicago were a seaport, our 2010 intermodal volume, 12.876 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), would rank us as the eighth largest port in the world, using information compiled by the Port of Rotterdam. For more information, see our Green Signals post.
MCIC. The Metro Chicago Information Center (MCIC) is set to close at the end of the year, according to the Chicago Tribune. MCIC has made valuable contributions over the years and has worked with us on many data-related projects over the years, including the Chicago Area Housing website, the Illinois Data Exchange Affiliates, Full Circle, and the Regional Indicators project.
Policy Updates. The Regional Infrastructure Improvement Zones Act was introduced last week in the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill would allow private businesses or individuals to contribute tax-deductible funds to support the construction or maintenance of public infrastructure, including transportation and water projects. We also wrote about a new report that investigates the impacts of suburban business density on walking behavior. In other news, the U.S. House of Representatives Transportation and Infrastructure Committee is prepared to release the text of a five-year transportation reauthorization bill early next week.
Soles and Spokes. CMAP’s bike-ped planning blog highlighted a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study on the incidence rates of pedestrian and bicyclist crashes by hybrid electric vehicles, which run much more quietly than regular internal combustion engine cars. We also featured an international literature review from the U.K. covering the role of infrastructure in relation to the safety of cyclists and their interaction with other road users.
U.S. EPA comment deadline: 2/3.
The U.S. EPA comment period for the region's air quality attainment status has been extended to February 3
. Last week Crain's Chicago Business
covered the potential harm that our region faces regarding air quality and lost federal transportation funding if the U.S. EPA follows through on its intention to ignore current, certified 2011 data and rule that northeastern Illinois is "in attainment" with the agency's 2008 air quality guidelines. We urge you to contact U.S. EPA
and members of Congress, calling on the federal regulators to consider the up-to-date 2011 data, which clearly indicate our region has actually not attained the 2008 air standards. See the notice in the Federal Register
(marked as "40 CFR Part 81"), which includes details of how to make your views known. Read more in a CMAP Policy Update

Objectives. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that long-term dietary supplementation with the nitric oxide precursor L-arginine would enhance vascular or platelet-derived nitric oxide activity, or both, and thereby inhibit platelet reactivity in hypercholesterolemic humans. Background. We have shown that reduced vascular activity of nitric oxide in hypercholesterolemic rabbits can be restored by L-arginine supplementation. The improvement in nitric oxide activity is associated with an inhibition of platelet aggregation ex vivo. This effect is most likely due to increased elaboration of endothelium- or platelet-derived nitric oxide, or both, because the inhibition of platelet reactivity was associated with elevation of intraplatelet cyclic guanosine monophosphate and was reversed by the nitric oxide synthase antagonist N-methyl-arginine. Methods. In a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, hypercholesterolemic patients were assigned to L-arginine hydrochloride, 8.4 g/day orally, or placebo for 2 weeks. Platelet-rich plasma was obtained for aggregometry induced by collagen (1 to 10 μg/ml) at four points: baseline, after 2 weeks of treatment, after a 2-week washout and after a long-term washout of 16 weeks on average. Aggregation was quantified by light transmittance and expressed as a percent transmittance observed with platelet-poor plasma. Results. Compared with normocholesterolemic control subjects, platelets from hypercholesterolemic subjects stimulated with 5 μg/ml of collagen showed increased aggregability (68.6% in hypercholesterolemic patients vs. 54.5% in normocholesterolemic control subjects, p ≤ 0.02). After 2 weeks of treatment with L-arginine (but not placebo), platelet reactivity was modestly reduced; this effect persisted for 2 weeks after discontinuation of arginine (52.6% in arginine-treated patients vs. 65.1% in normocholesterolemic control subjects, p = 0.07). After 18 weeks (i.e., 16 weeks after discontinuing arginine treatment), the platelets of hypercholesterolemic patients once again became hyperaggregable, and the extent of platelet aggregation was significantly increased compared with the 4-week point (73.6% after vs. 52.6% during arginine treatment, p < 0.01). No significant change in platelet reactivity was seen in placebo-treated hypercholesterolemic patients throughout the study. L-Arginine treatment was well tolerated without side effects. Conclusions. This double-blinded, placebo-controlled study demonstrates that dietary supplementation with L-arginine can modestly attenuate the increased platelet reactivity seen in hypercholesterolemic patients. The data are consistent with our previous studies in hypercholesterolemic animals, demonstrating that L-arginine restores endogenous nitric oxide activity and inhibits platelet aggregation. Enhancement of endogenous nitric oxide activity is a potential novel therapeutic strategy worthy of further study.

Red-light runner leads police to two guns in Stamford
Updated 10:53 pm, Friday, April 7, 2017
STAMFORD — A red-light runner who told police he was being chased by another car led cops to two loaded guns hidden under a mattress inside a West Side apartment on Thursday.
The driver, who ran the light and struck another vehicle around 4 p.m. Thursday on East Main at Exit 9, told officers that a silver sedan had been following him and he provided a license plate number of the car because he was certain the driver and passenger meant to do him harm, Capt. Richard Conklin said.
The Narcotics and Organized Crime squad was called in and found the sedan in a rear parking lot at 28 Perry Street.
As officers approached the car they spotted two men inside and smelled marijuana, police said, and upon search turned up a single bullet from an assault rifle along with a joint and a small amount of marijuana.
Officers on the scene brought in an explosives-smelling dog and found a bullet for another assault weapon along with two 9 millimeter bullets.
Ruben Medina, 19, one of the two men in the car, consented to a search of his nearby apartment, where police found two loaded 9 millimeter semiautomatic handguns under a mattress, one a Hi-Point pistol and the other a Kel-Tec P-11, Conklin said.
They also found a half-dozen Oxycodone pills, a digital scale, about 5 grams of marijuana and $593 in cash, Conklin said. The Hi-Point had been stolen from somewhere in the state of Georgia during a 2012 car burglary, Conklin said.
Medina was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, stealing a firearm, possession of narcotics, possession of marijuana, sale of certain illegal drugs, operating a drug factory and possession of a controlled substance within 1,500 feet of a public housing complex.
“Two more guns have been taken off the street,” Conklin said.

text: yet will not thy educators be eliminated into a corner any more, yet thine eyes will see thy instructors: And thine ears will hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye go to the right hand, and when ye go to the left." – Isaiah 30:20-21. Remain favored. All greatness is the Lord's. Who are the 144000 Consider different sacred texts that might spring up in your brain while taking a gander at the definitions. Allow the Spirit to direct you with the agreement that you as of now have. I will likewise add to what you might have heard, with perhaps similar sections, or even various stanzas that ring a bell. As we see, the word walk signifies, "to proceed for what it's worth, that is, stroll overall (particularly as confirmation of capacity); metaphorically to live, expel oneself, follow (as a buddy or votary): – go, be busy with." Stroll After A Godly Sort – As A Saint In the Book of Colossians it says, "For this purpose we additionally, since the day we heard it, don't stop to appeal to God for you, and to want that ye may be loaded up with the information on his will in all insight and profound arrangement; That ye may walk deserving of the Lord unto all satisfying, being productive in each great work, and expanding in the information on God; Strengthened with all may, as indicated by his sublime power, unto all tolerance and lenient with bliss." How is it that we are to walk deserving of the Lord unto all satisfying, while at the same time being productive in each great work? I accept that the best spot to begin would be by checking out the importance behind a portion of these words. We should start by going into the KJV Bible and take a gander at a couple of the first Greek words. We will begin by checking out the word walk, and afterward we will see the significance of the word commendable. Give close consideration to what in particular is being featured. Consider different sacred texts that might spring up in your psyche while taking a gander at the definitions. Allow the Spirit to direct you with the agreement that you as of now have. I will likewise add to what you might have heard, with perhaps similar stanzas, or even various refrains that ring a bell. As we see, the word walk signifies, "to proceed in general, that is, stroll overall (particularly as verification of capacity); allegorically to live, extradite oneself, follow (as a buddy or votary): – go, be busy with." Now we should begin integrating a few, for example, to proceed for what it's worth and to expel oneself. Jesus said, "In case any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross day by day, and follow me." He said this also, "He that forsaketh not all the he hath, can't be my pupil." we are isolating from the desires of the tissue, and the pride of life. It likewise implies exactly the same thing as, to proceed in general. For instance, crushing a negative quirk under your feet and saying no love lost. Another sacred writing that strikes a chord is, "View, I give unto you ability to step on snakes and scorpions, and over all the force of the adversary: and nothing will using any and all means hurt you." Hmm, consider that briefly. The second thing that we will integrate will be to walk, and to follow.

A meta-analysis of scientific studies evaluating Zeiss’ At Lisa tri family intraocular lenses (IOL) has offered new insight into its performance in terms of patient satisfaction, spectacle independence, visual acuity and predictability.
Zeiss has published a whitepaper focussing on the clinical performance of the presbyopia-correcting IOLs, which have featured in more than 75 peer-reviewed publications by 60 different first authors.
The results, based on studies assessing the IOLs’ performance in 9000 eyes of 4,500 implanted patients, predominantly focussed on the Zeiss At Lisa tri 839MP, which was launched to the European market seven years ago.
Of peer-reviewed tri 839MP publications, 23 have so far explicitly investigated patient-reported outcomes. In this cohort of studies, eight reported patient satisfaction to have reached 100% and a further nine rated patient satisfaction as greater than 90%.
The three remaining studies, according to Zeiss, did not explicitly rate patient satisfaction as a percentage, but included qualitative assessments of patients, which equally attested the lens to ensure satisfied patients.
A meta-analysis of the studies investigating visual acuity demonstrated the lens reliably ensures “excellent outcomes regarding visual acuity at far, intermediate, and near distances”, Zeiss reported.
Specifically, for the Zeiss At Lisa tri 839MP, a vast number of studies reported that patients achieved an average binocular uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA) of 0.1 logMAR or better.
“In individual studies, Kretz et al reported that the intermediate visual outcomes in a series of 50 patients were very good, with 79% of eyes achieving UIVA of 0.1 logMAR or better, 94% of eyes achieving 0.2 logMAR or better, and all eyes achieving 0.3 logMAR or better. The mean postoperative logMAR UIVA was 0.09 when measured at 66cm.”
In that same study, it was also reported that 91% of patients reached binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) of 0.0 logMAR, 79% attained binocular UIVA of 0.0 logMAR and 87% binocular uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) of 0.0 logMAR. Furthermore, 100% of patients reached at least binocular UDVA, UIVA and UNVA of 0.3 logMAR or better.
According to the analysis, the IOLs have shown that the lens delivers predictable and stable results over time.
Kretz et al reported 90% of 100 eyes treated had a spherical equivalent (SE) within ±0.50 D three months after surgery. Mendicute et al reported postoperative SE was within ±0.50 D in 85.9% of cases and 83% of cases one month and three months after surgery, respectively.
At one month and three months, 95.1% and 97.6%, respectively, were within ±1.00 D of intended refraction.
Finally, of all peer-reviewed publications, several studies specifically tested the levels of spectacle independence with the At Lisa tri 839MP, which was reported to repeatedly achieve high scores at all distances.
“To cite a multicentre prospective study, Mendicute et al reported that spectacle independence at all distances was higher than 90% after three months,” the analysis found.
“The breakdown for each category was 99% for distance, 95.1% for intermediate and 89.2% for near vision at three months.”


The aim of the research project is to improve the patency of the product data management (PDM) based on the product model (CAD) by means of holistic approaches. Methods should be developed, that operate in the author system and that are able to extend the available information of the product model with regard to metadata, methods of analysis, and assessments. The scope of information is aligned to downstream processes of development in order to ensure an accurate supply. Furthermore, methods and tools for the demonstration are to develop which can be used to check the consistency of these data on the different requirements of the development process.

text: A select legislative committee in Sacramento is fine-tuning legislation that would form a new state agency that could borrow and spend $6.4 billion to finance renewable energy projects. The measure, AB 64, also sets a 50 percent alternative power goal by 2035 The bill would set a 25 percent green power standard for utilities by 2015. The bar would rise to 33 percent by 2020 and to 50 percent over the next 15 years. \u201cRenewable energy is critical,\u201d said Assemblymember Paul Krekorian (D-Burbank), coauthor of the legislation along with Speaker of the Assembly Karen Bass (D-Los Angeles) and Assemblymember Sam Blakeslee (R-San Luis Obispo). The Burbank Democrat chairs the new Assembly Select Committee on Renewable Energy that is developing the legislation. During the panel\u2019s first hearing March 12, Krekorian said the committee would meet weekly through early April to examine the \u201cvexing challenges\u201d in pursuing higher levels of renewable energy on the state\u2019s grid. Blakeslee said the bill aims to eliminate the real barriers to green energy that have become apparent under the state\u2019s 20 percent renewable energy standard. These include problems related to transmission siting, project financing, and utility procurement of green energy The panel began this week with how to streamline the transmission line siting process to more quickly develop renewable energy. As currently drafted, the bill would put the new authority in charge of the process. \u201cTransmission getting built is the number one hurdle,\u201d testified Linda Brown, San Diego Gas & Electric director of transmission planning. \u201cIt\u2019s a minimum of five to seven years to get a license to build it.\u201d Duplicative procedures slow transmission siting, said Les Starck, Southern California Edison vice president of local public affairs. He recommended that the California Public Utilities Commission defer to the California Independent System Operator\u2019s assessment of the need for new transmission projects. Under the current state process, the grid operator is first to assess the need and economic justification for proposed transmission projects. Then, the project proponents seek a license from the CPUC. Stark explained that the CPUC often independently assesses the need and economic reasonableness of the project, duplicating what the grid operator already has done. In addition, he suggested that the CPUC work jointly with utilities and other transmission project proponents on environmental analysis, rather than carrying out its own independent assessment after the developer already has reviewed the environmental impacts of a new line. CPUC deputy director Ken Lewis agreed that working with utilities \u201cupfront\u201d can cut the time for approving transmission projects. However, while lawmakers work to streamline transmission siting to connect remote utility-scale renewable energy facilities to the grid, Donne Brownsey, Solar Alliance lobbyist, urged deployment of distributed solar systems within utility distribution areas. She pointed out rooftop systems are quick to install because they do not require environmental review and extensive permitting. She added that up to 27,000 MW of distributed solar systems could be installed within utility distribution systems and that the price for photovoltaic panels is falling. Next on the panel\u2019s agenda are two hearings to delve into the utility renewable energy procurement process. Then in April, the panel plans to hold a hearing on what technologies and facilities are needed to achieve 33 percent green power by 2020.

- 130 g (4 ½ oz ) wholemeal durum-wheat flour
- 70 g (2 ½ oz ) wholemeal soft-wheat flour
- 2 small fennels, cleaned (take aside the leaves) and finely sliced
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- Black pepper
- Fennel leaves
- Fennel seeds
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt
Mix the two kinds of flours in a bowl, using a fork. Add some water, stirring continuously until you have a thick but tender and tensile dough. Work it briefly with your hands. Lengthen the dough over a working surface as a salame. With a knife cut small gnocchi until all the dough is over. Lengthen the gnocchetti, two at a time, over the working surface (they should be 3-4 cm long an absolutely irregular). Let the pasta drain for some hour.
Bring some water to the boil. Add some salt and the finely sliced fennels. Meanwhile, in a frying pan sauté the garlic clove with some oil. Add the fennel seeds and leaves.
The cooking time of the home-made pasta is quite long. It required at least 15 minutes. Anyway, taste it once in a while.
Drain the pasta al dente and pour it into the oil and garlic frying pan. Remove the garlic clove and sprinkle with black pepper.
It is possible that, despite the long cooking time, the pasta is still al dente. This is typical of the home-made pasta. If you don’t like it, use packaged pasta, instead!


Special EMI protection for the Y-ConRJ45 series
The background is that most of the systems on the market offer EMI protection only through the cable shield and the connected plug. This means that a permanent, reliable EMC connection with the jack is not ensured. Yamaichi has therefore developed special contact springs for the plug area of the Y-ConCover-10-E and Y-ConCover-40-E that ensure a reliable connection between the plug and the jack.
The contact spring offers reliable EMI protection and ensures that applications remain protected without interruption even for vibrations and shock of up to 50 g. The Y-ConCover-40-E, consisting of a metal housing developed for the harshest industrial requirements, represented a particular challenge.
For full EMI protection to be provided for the metal housing, Yamaichi used a special washer that is integrated into the housing. This also protects the entire interior area of the plug connector. The two field-assembly versions Y-ConCover-10-E and Y-ConCover-40-E are delivered with the new EMC spring already pre-assembled.
In the Y-ConCover-40-E, the additional washer is then assembled during assembly of the cable. The operation fields of both Y-ConCover units covers a temperature range from -40 to +120 °C and guarantees continual EMI protection and thus protection of upstream and downstream electronics, even with vibration.
Yamaichi thus offers a complete product spectrum in the area of EMI protection. The Y-ConCover-10-E and Y-ConCover-40-E are protected according to the demanding protection categories IP67, IP68, and IP69K. The complete RJ45 EMI product portfolio also includes protection category IP20.

The Stella Maris Dance Ensemble visited Grand Cayman last week and participated in the two-day Summer Kaleidoscope workshop, culminating in a performance at the Harquail Theatre last Saturday night. This popular group performed here last year and were so well received that they were invited back to display their considerable talents once again. We asked Dr. Monika Lawrence, artistic director of the group, about the ensemble and their goals for the future.
What is the Stella Maris Dance Ensemble?
The Stella Maris Dancers have always remained true to their motto – “Success through Hard Work” – and have been dedicated in their pursuit of excellence. The ensemble continues to impress at every level of national life in which it participates, carving out a unique identity as innovative artistes who move the creative borders in their quest to achieve excellence in dance. The Ballet Master and Choreographer is Abeldo Gonzales, a founding member of Contemporary Dance Company of Cuba and former principal dancer with the National Dance Theatre Company of Jamaica. Patsy Ricketts, ballet mistress is a former founding member of Harlem Dance Theatre and foremost dancer with the National Dance Theatre Company of Jamaica. I am the artistic director and founder and am also a former principal dancer.
What kind of dances do they perform?
Members of the ensemble are drawn from various communities across Jamaica. The dancers are skilled in Euro classical ballet, West African dance styles, and modern contemporary, urban folk and traditional. Having all of this knowledge at their disposal, it is easy to fuse and derive a distinctive style, versatility and manipulation of movements.
When did the ensemble first come to the Cayman Islands?
In 1986 they became the youngest group to represent Jamaica overseas when they toured the Cayman Islands with “Stella’s Tale,” a Christmas Pantomime produced by the school.
In 2011 they assisted Cayman Islands Netball Association in their fundraising efforts by performing a series of concerts at the Harquail Theatre free of cost and they were invited back by popular demand to raise funds for the association in 2012.
What is the history of the group?
In 1986, under my guidance, a fledgling dance troupe at Stella Maris Preparatory School on Shortwood Road in Kingston Jamaica began an exploration of movement. However what started out as a creative outlet for preparatory school students who were interested in dance grew into a top dance workshop featuring dancers who are past students of Stella Maris Prep and of many other schools.
In 1993 the troupe celebrated its incredible growth and considerable reputation with the launch of the Stella Maris Dance Ensemble, peopled by the senior dancers within the troupe. Since the ensemble’s 1997 season, the troupe has undergone several important changes; the most notable being an addition to its name which now sees the group being called the Stella Maris (Young Adult) Dance Ensemble, and a further reduction in the size of the troupe to approximately 26 top dancers.
In 1989 they became the first group ever to win both the Junior and the Intermediate categories at the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission’s Festival Dance Competition. Their consistent high achievement in the National Dance Competition also resulted in them being awarded gold medals for all 11 dances entered in 1993. Throughout their years of participation, they have been awarded over 100 gold medals, 10 silver and four bronze medals at Jamaica’s yearly dance competition. They withdrew from the competition in 1999 to build and concentrate on exporting Jamaican cultural overseas.
Do they have a mission or specific goals they are trying to attain?
The ensemble continues to seek to further the quest for a truly indigenous expression by giving young people a sense of pride in their own heritage. Since 2005 the late Rex Nettleford, artistic director of the National Dance Theatre Company of Jamaica has given two of his major works to them for performance in their yearly season of dance, making them the only company apart from the theatre company to perform his works. Since 2004 to present, the ensemble has represented Jamaica at The Black Academy of Arts And Letters, the Dallas-based organisation that has been one of the United States’ leading multi-disciplinary arts organizations for more than 25 years. The ensemble received standing ovations for their performance during the season. The ensemble has conducted workshops for children and young adults yearly in Dallas Texas.
They have also performed and conducted extensive workshops in Los Angeles for young community schools and groups.

When death whispers its invitation to Burt Simpson, he is a cop with less than a week to go before retirement. He doesn't want to take any chances with his short time, and so he wears his bulletproof vest every time he leaves the station. Then he goes in for a routine insurance physical, and the doctor finds bad news: He has a rare blood disorder, and will die within two weeks.
The news makes Simpson (Dabney Coleman) into a changed man. He realizes now the folly of his life - the way he threw away the love of a good wife and failed to appreciate the generosity of his friends - and he startles them by suddenly turning into a really nice guy. And at work, he turns from a mouse into a man, demanding double shifts and dangerous neighborhoods. The stark fact is that Simpson wants to be killed in the line of duty - because then his young son can go to Harvard on $320,000 worth of department insurance, instead of his measly $22,000 civilian policy.
"Short Time" is at a loss for how to approach this splendid plot idea. Should it be slapstick or serious? It follows the time-honored path of many other Hollywood movies and fearlessly decides to be both.
The slapstick comes in early action scenes, and the scene where a bus driver switches Simpson's blood sample with his own - leading to the mistaken diagnosis of impending death. The pathos comes in scenes where Simpson tells his wife (Teri Garr) and his partner (Matt Frewer) how much he loves them. And then, of course, there's a big action sequence at the end.
It's quite a sequence - world class, as these things go. Simpson chases the bad guy to the top of the tallest skyscraper in town and winds up dangling dozens of stories above the street from a window-washer's platform with a busted safety line. The scene actually was shot up there in the air, and inspires some genuine vertigo, especially because Simpson wants to fall, you see, and so the emotions of the audience are thoroughly confused.
It's impossible to dislike a movie like "Short Time," and equally impossible to see it twice, or remember it more than about two weeks.
It contains good performances (although Coleman relies on his basic repertory of characters and doesn't give us anyone who is un-Dabneyish). But it stretches only for the physical stuff - the stunts and chases - and not with the dramatic material.
There's a sense in which "Short Time" doesn't really want to be any better than it is, and chooses not to deal with the character's impending death. Maybe that's why the plot goes to such pains to reassure us that it's all a mistake and he's not really sick. Then we can smile even at the sad scenes, because we know he's OK. To mislead us - to keep the information about the blood tests from the audience as well as Coleman - would require a depth this movie is frankly shy of.
What would you do if a doctor gave you a short time to live? It's a classic movie situation, and it's been handled in at least one great film (Kurosawa's "Ikiru," in which the hero, a bureaucrat, determined to push through one useful project in his remaining weeks). The conventions are well-established. People in such situations, we know, gain a poignant new appreciation of life, start to love people they've fought with for years, and see how much time they've already wasted.
In the case of the Coleman character, as seen in the screenplay by John Blumenthal and Michael Berry, no big chances are taken. We are safely in sitcom country, and this is another one of those movies that is careful not to give the audience too much to worry or think about.
Since such screenplays typically go through several drafts, one can only imagine the discussions in which the filmmakers speculated on what the audience would go for - how much we could take.
I, for one, would like to take a great deal more than many movies give me these days. I think moviegoers are smart enough and complex enough for stories that are really about their subjects, instead of just pretending. I know this is a heavy burden to place on a lightweight film like "Short Time." But you know what? If as much thought had gone into the rest of the film as went into the scene where Coleman is dangling from the high-rise, they actually might have had something here. And Coleman is a good enough actor to have risen to the occasion - instead of stooping, as the current version invites him to.

- HB2054 GRRC; petition to request review (Biasiucci: Bolick) allows a person to petition the Governor's Regulatory Review Council (GRRC) to review Citizens Clean Elections Commission's (CCEC) existing practices, policies, and rules, if they think it doesn't meet certain requirements. This is an effort to rein in the CCEC from doing its job. OPPOSE.
- SB1032 early voting; signature required; notice (Ugenti-Rita) limits the amount of time the County Recorders have to contact a voter about a missing signature on their early ballot and allow them the opportunity to sign it. Under this bill they would have until 7:00PM Election Day, which likely would not allow the county recorders enough time to reach everyone who inadvertently left off their signature. OPPOSE.

- HCR2032 initiative; single subject; title (Kern: Allen J, Barto, et al.) refers to the ballot a measure that narrows what can be included in a ballot measure and requires every subject to be in the title. This would make it impossible to place something on the ballot that is comprehensive, including environmental protection measures, and would mean a series of ballot measures. Considering how expensive it is already to propose a measure, this proposal would put the initiative process even further in the hands of only those with the deepest pockets. OPPOSE .

Days after the Terra ecosystem crashed in May, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, CZ, promised to support the community whichever it decides to rebuild by highlighting that buybacks and burns might help the Terra ecosystem produce value.
The Terra Classic community, however, feels that CZ has yet to live up to its promise of assisting the Terra Classic community in burning more LUNC by implementing burns on trade with less than one day till the LUNA Classic (LUNC) tax parameter modification goes live. CZ tweeted in may:
“In my tweets, I am simply pointing out the potential issues from my understanding. Minting, forking, don’t create value. Buying back, burning does, but requires funds. Funds that the project team may not have … Regardless of my personal views, or the solution chosen in the end, we will always be here to support the community in any way we can.”
Evidently, Binance has stated that it will support the 1.2% tax burn plan, but only for transactions, deposits, and withdrawals that happen on-chain in this circumstance. It has been noted by a number of community members that this accomplishes little to help the community and only serves to deter individuals from leaving the exchange. As a result, they have pushed the exchange to apply the plan on off-chain transactions, such as spot and margin trading activity.
While the exchange’s answer to this is that it would reevaluate its position, a day before the implementation, nothing has changed.
Terra is Yet to Give Up on Swaying Binance
It’s important to note that the community hasn’t given up trying to influence the top exchange. Moreover, important LUNC developers will participate in a live YouTube Ask Me Anything (AMA) event with officials of the Binance exchange on Thursday. As a result, the terra community has expressed delight at the opportunity to talk to the exchange about the burning trade.
Compared to all exchanges, Binance has the biggest daily trading volume for LUNC, so putting a burn on trade will benefit the Terra Classic community in ways that are unthinkable.
The burn campaign to reduce the surplus LUNC supply is anticipated to be substantially more successful with the help of the exchange since the majority of LUNC trading activity takes place on Binance.
However, if a 1.2% tax is imposed on trading activity, profit-driven crypto exchanges might worry about decreased trading volumes.
The price of LUNC is currently $0.0003025, up 10.61% over the previous 24 hours. With over $400 million in trading volume over the past 24 hours, the LUNC/BUSD and LUNC/USDT pairs on Binance represent 50% of the token’s overall trading volume on exchanges.

This was originally formed as a note on career growth that I had been working on the past few weeks, but for some reason was struggling with.
Then my aunt died last night.
My family is spread across multiple generations. My grandmother died nearly ten years ago at the age of 108. My aunt who just passed, my dad’s sister, was 94. My dad is turning 75 next month. He was in his 40s when I was born. This probably explains why I have never been in a rush to have children. It was never seen as a huge imperative for me.
(Besides, my dog is going to live forever, so I never have to worry about saving for college.)
Why my aunt’s death spurred me to hit publish is something I will solve for myself, but it does bring to mind a story I shared with participants in Facebook’s Research Associate Program yesterday that I’d like to elaborate here.
Around ten years ago, I mentored some kids in LA who were on the wrong path, in neighborhoods where boys were as likely to be convicts or corpses, with not much space in between. One kid, who I will call John here for the sake of anonymity, was 16 at the time and in a gang. He wanted out. He didn’t know how. With a lot of work, meeting with his mom and teachers, tutoring, sacrificing, and some perseverance mixed with grit, he graduated.
Not just from high school. Not just from college. But with a law degree from UCLA.
I am an introvert by nature. I suffer from imposter syndrome daily. It takes a lot out of me just to be around so many people day in and day out. And sometimes my voice starts to crack or stutter because I am so stuck in my head and my brain is so tired from being around people, I literally struggle to get the words out of my mouth. So when I am home with my dog and there is silence? That, to me, is heaven.
I was always told that in order to grow, in order to advance, I’d need to be more extroverted. I needed to be above introversion. Because introverts can’t lead. I unfortunately passed this advice on to John, thinking that it would help him in his journey. At his graduation party, I congratulated him on moving upward towards his future. He’s a lawyer now! He’s moved up and above his past! He’s not trapped in the cycle anymore!
His next few words were poignant:
“I didn’t move up, J; I moved out. There’s a difference. You just gave me an opportunity to walk through that door.”
Language forces perspective.
Humans have bodies (obviously) so we always experience events from a given perspective (e.g., from the side, at eye-level) rather than a god‘s eye view.
There are three dimensions of perspectival construal of a scene (Tomasello, 2003):
- the granularity dimension reflects the ability to describe objects coarsely (e.g., a thing) or in fine grain (e.g., a kitchen chair)
- the perspective dimension captures point of view, such as describing an exchange as buying or selling
- the function dimension corresponds to different construals of the same object according to different functions, such as a person being a father or a doctor.
The way we use linguistic symbols thus creates a clear break with straightforward perceptual or sensory-motor cognitive representations — even those connected with events displaced in space and/or time — and enables us to view the world in context for the communicative purpose on hand.
In short? How we speak matters. How we speak about growth is critical to the behaviors and actions we display in our work.
“Moving up” or “level up” as an inspirational call-to-action makes sense for populations who are held down by oppression. This shouldn’t be the case with career growth. Using words like upward may imply something lies beneath us. Hierarchy. That some are lesser than others. If we grow upward in our careers, we are now above those in similar positions we have moved on from. If we grow a product upward from a previous state, we have lessened the work done prior to a product’s current state. If we fall, we’ve lost upward mobility.
It is a constant battle to fight to the top. And there will always be someone above you.
Forward implies progressive movement. Increments. Mobility from one state to the next. We can look back on where we were and use our knowledge to inform our next steps. We can grow in our careers, move to a management position, and be at the same level and pace as others. We can bring others along without having hierarchy over them. Our peers and our team can be ahead of us in certain areas without being above us. We can fall and pick ourselves up, yet not lose a step because we. are. still. moving.
It may be easy, especially during performance summary cycles, to consider career growth as upward mobility, and judge our progress based on hierarchical frameworks we’ve encoded into our societal DNA ages ago.
But we’re not in competition with each other. We are running together. Step by step.
And if you’re uncertain what that next step looks like? Start with one. One teammate, one mentor, one advisor. Build a relationship with that person and see how that relationship grows. It is much better to have high quality relationships that help give voice to your career than high quantity relationships that provide only noise.
I’m still an introvert. I’m still an imposter. I still pay attention to every word I speak audibly. Most of the time, I still feel like I don’t belong. But I am learning through experience, building day to day, and developing relationships that lessen imposterism and sense of belonging little by little, reminding myself that as long as you’re moving forward, you’re growing.
Just make sure to leave the door open for others on the way through.

Disable Automatic Wireless Configuration in Windows 7
By Stephen Bucaro
Windows provides two services that configure your PC to connect to a wireless
network. WLAN AutoConfig which sets up your computer to connect to a wireless
local area network, and WWAN AutoConfig which sets up your computer to connect
to mobile broadband services. Both of these services are started automatically
when you start your PC. However, if you don't use a wireless network or mobile
broadband, for security reasons you may want to disable these services.
To disable WLAN AutoConfig and WWAN AutoConfig, select the Administrative Tools
group in Control Panel. In the Administrative Tools window, double-click on
Services. In the Services window, scroll down to WLAN AutoConfig. Double-click
on WLAN AutoConfig, and in the WLAN AutoConfig Properties dialog box that
appears, change Startup type to Manual. Click on the [Apply] button, then click
on the [OK] button.
Similarly, to disable WWAN AutoConfig, in the Services window, scroll down to
WWAN AutoConfig. Double-click on WWAN AutoConfig, and in the WWAN
AutoConfig Properties dialog box that appears, change Startup type to Manual.
Click on the [Apply] button, then click on the [OK] button.
Since both of these services were already started, you'll need to restart your
PC to make the new startup methods take effect. Now you have one more
assurance that someone can't hack into your computer wirelessly.
