I come from the Pine Tree State – the northern part – where trees and timber are intrinsically tied into the fabric of life. I was born in a paper making town, and started working at the local mill before I left high school. My father worked for a paper mill, my uncle did as well, and so did most of my friends’ parents.
If you’ve never been to northern Maine you might not realize that it gets cold here. The snow starts falling in November and sticks around until March or later, and temperatures well below zero Fahrenheit are a regular occurrence. A majority of people in our area use wood in one form or another to heat their homes, as it is plentiful and relatively inexpensive. So handling and processing timber has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.
Another thing you get used to in our area is working without electricity. Lots of snow and ice in areas with trees near power lines mean outages are frequent in the winter. Unlike urban areas we don’t loot and riot when the power goes out – we hunker down, start the generator, grab our battery powered lights and devices, and help our neighbor.
Maine is filled with lakes and streams, and there are plenty of amazing places to hike, camp, boat, and enjoy. Most of them are filled with trees but no electrical outlets, so dealing with timber and using battery operated devices is a way of life for us.
So Timber & Battery is born out of my experiences in Maine. I decided to use my respect for wood and the amazing tools used to shape and work it, along with my familiarity with batteries, battery operated tools, and portable power solutions, to build a website dedicated to both. Hopefully that comes through in the articles and reviews on this site. And if you have an interesting story, memory, or use for batteries or wood tools, please share it.

This e-book is no longer available for purchase, but the stories can be found in the collection, The Monster In the Closet and Other Stories by K. Kris Loomis!
No time for novels? Try these Modern Shorts for Busy People!
What happens when two high school friends meet for a good old fashioned gossip session over coffee? Or when two very different people are brought together through internet dating and self-improvement? Or a couple of old friends battle it out over backgammon, secrets, and pecan pie?
In these three modern short stories, author K. Kris Loomis offers us glimpses of universally shared moments in everyday relationships and life. They are humorous, thought-provoking, and written to be read in one sitting.
THE GOSSIP GRIND
Just because you are busy doesn’t mean that you don’t deserve good fiction in your life!
I chose to read this book after receiving a free e-copy from the author. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. This is the last of the short stories in Kris Loomis’s The Monster in the Closet and other stories. I’ve enjoyed reading all of them.
The Cafe Stories includes three short stories. In “Self Improvement,” Amelia and Jake meet after talking online for a while. They seem to have a lot in common and the results of their meeting is hilarious. Sadly, it’s something that could easily happen in this day and age. This was probably one of my favorites of all the stories because it’s so funny and yet so timely.
“The Gossip Grind” features Beth and Tiffie, long time friends who have always enjoyed some “good” gossip. Something happens one day that may change their friendship forever.
The “Backgammon Buddies” are Hank and Bob. They have been friends for a long time and Bob has decided he needs to come clean about something before his dementia takes over and he’s unable to apologize. With his revelation comes one of Hank’s own. This story had a nice twist.
Three Modern Shorts: The Cafe Stories are short and can be read in one sitting. Even though they’re short, they’re well written. Some of them make you think and some make you smile.
I definitely recommend The Monster in the Closet and Other Stories. It would be great to have for those times when you have to wait somewhere for a few minutes or for the bathroom if you’re one of those people who keep reading material in the bathroom.

How those marital rows can be bad for your health
by JENNY HOPE, Daily Mail
Last updated at 08:38 06 December 2005
It found that marital rows can prolong the time it takes the body to heal itself after an injury.
Do you enjoy a good row? Tell us below on reader comments.
One argument alone can slow this process by a day.
And the study claims that when married couples feel consistently hostile towards one another, the delay in the healing process can be doubled.
Its findings could have important implications for patients booked for surgery because they mean that marital disharmony could put back their recovery time.
The study, published yesterday in the Archives of General Psychiatry, analysed 42 couples who had been married for at least 12 years.
The couples were asked to take part in a set of experiments which were designed to find out how quickly wounds heal in certain situations.
Each pair made two 24-hour visits to the university, two months apart.
During both visits, the husband and wife were each fitted with a small suction device that created eight tiny uniform blisters on their arms.
The skin was then removed from each blister and another device placed directly over the top, forming a protective bubble.
Researchers used this bubble to extract fluids that normally fill such blisters during the healing process.
On the first visit, the husbands and wives completed questionnaires about stress levels.
They were then encouraged to have a "supportive, positive discussion" with one another about things that they would like to change in their relationship.
During the second visit, they were asked to talk about disagreements that they had with their partners, especially those which had an "inherently emotional element".
The researchers took samples of fluid from the wounds during both visits.
They found that the injuries took a day longer to heal after the argument than they did after the supportive discussion.
And couples who showed high levels of hostility needed two days longer for their wounds to heal following a row.
Wounds on the more argumentative couples healed only 60 per cent as quickly as those inflicted on couples considered to have low levels of hostility.
A chemical called IL-6, which can cause immune system problems when found at high levels in the bloodstream, was one-and-a-half times higher in couples who were consistently angry with each other than in those who were less hostile.
The study was carried out at Ohio State University by Jan Kiecolt-Glaser, a professor of psychiatry and psychology, and her husband Ronald Glaser, a professor of immunology.
Professor Kiecolt-Glaser said that their findings were important because they demonstrated that reducing post-surgery stress could lead to shorter hospital stays and to fewer patients suffering from infections after undergoing operations.
"This shows specifically why it is so important that people are psychologically prepared for their surgeries," he said.
"In our past wound-healing experiments, we looked at more stressful events.
"This was just a marital discussion that lasted only for half an hour."
Previous research has linked high levels of stress with a host of chronic diseases, including heart problems.

In these first days of the Trump Administration, there is a great deal of uncertainty, but it’s clear that healthcare will remain in the spotlight. Repealing and replacing “Obamacare” is still at the top of the Republican party’s—and President Trump’s—agenda.
Congress and Trump have already taken steps to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), though a replacement for it has yet to be articulated. Trump promises “insurance for everybody” in a form that is “much less expensive and much better,” but has yet to reveal details about how to meet his goals.
While changes in healthcare policy will have ramifications for all Americans, members of underserved populations are likely to be disproportionately impacted because they are statistically less healthy and are also the least likely to have health insurance coverage. Parts of the ACA address Medicaid, which provides health insurance to 70 million people—by definition among the poorest Americans. Nine million whites make up the largest racial group of people who have gained coverage as a direct result of the ACA, but significant numbers of minorities, including 3 million African Americans and 4 million Hispanics, have also gained coverage. The ACA also helps LGBT Americans by forbidding discrimination due to gender or sexual orientation, and by enabling same-sex families to apply for joint healthcare coverage. According to a report issued by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office on January 17th, if the ACA were to be rolled back without a replacement, 18 million people would lose health insurance in the first year. There would also be significant restrictions in reproductive health services for women.
Thousands of Americans have been participating in rallies across the country urging Congress not to dismantle the law, and support for it has recently reached record levels according to a poll by NBC News:
Maintaining the ACA was also a consistent theme highlighted in the women’s marches in Washington DC and cities and countries around the world the day after the presidential inauguration.
By contrast, however, many Trump supporters—including some members of underserved and minority groups—believe that Obama and the Democratic party have left them and their needs behind in many domains, including healthcare. From their perspective, a lack of jobs, high crime rates, and other factors resulting from failures in leadership have contributed to economic hardship and growing epidemics of poor health. As Trump said on the campaign trail, “To those African-Americans and Latinos suffering in our country, I say very simply, ‘What in the hell do you have to lose? Vote for Donald Trump. I am going to fix it.’”
If Trump makes good on his promises, including repealing the ACA, some believe Americans would be much better off overall, particularly since the ACA itself is, by some measures, part of the problem. For example healthcare exchanges in Arizona which were set up in response to the ACA left people in most of the state with little or no choice among healthcare insurance providers and steeply rising healthcare premiums.
Digital Health and the Underserved
Against this backdrop of political uncertainty, how should we think about the relevance of digital health for underserved communities? In my opinion, particularly if underserved populations are at risk of losing health insurance coverage and related benefits, whether in the short or long term, it’s more important than ever to leverage digital tools to maximize scarce healthcare resources.
In addition, some of the same digital infrastructure and tools that can improve health are also critical to healing and strengthening democracy—Internet access, mobile phones, data analytics that help us understand and avert or address problems, and participation in virtual communities. It’s important to invite members of diverse (and particularly underrepresented) groups to a broader forum to share their perspectives on healthcare and other topics so we can begin to close the acrimonious rifts that have been tearing the country apart throughout the election process.
Though we don’t know the details of policies under the Trump Administration, Republicans have traditionally favored open market solutions that put greater economic responsibility in the hands of states (as opposed to the federal government) and individuals. In healthcare, this is likely to translate into block grants to states to pay for healthcare services, and greater consumer responsibility for choosing among insurance providers and direct payment for healthcare goods and services. Assuming this general trend, people will need more access to data and support in making sense of it to make informed decisions. This is critically important and challenging given low literacy levels, especially among members of underserved populations—nearly half of Americans have trouble understanding and using health information, a fact which already results in an estimated $230 billion/year in healthcare costs.
Last year I wrote a blog series published by HIMSS on Leveraging Digital Strategies to Address Health Disparities, which covered the following topics based on research and conversations with front line experts:
- Measure What You Want to Manage – on defining disparities, and the role of data and population health
- Navigate the Digital Divide (it’s more complex than you may realize!) – on technology adoption and use by particular population groups
- Design for Your Population’s Needs – on the particular requirements of elderly and disabled populations
- Speak The Right Language on literacy and cultural sensitivity
- Engage the Community on trust and community collaboration
Regardless of the political climate, the topics and approaches explored in that series apply, I believe. I learned from people on the front lines of using digital technologies to address health disparities, and their insights are as valid as ever. Now, a year later, I hope we can constructively explore and learn more together in a more interactive format, even as the political stakes and related emotions run high. Please join the Twitter chat on digital health, health reform, and the underserved on January 31 at 8:30 PM Eastern at #hcldr. Following are the topics we’ll cover:
T1 To what extent do you think an ACA “repeal and replace” is likely to impact underserved populations specifically?
T2 What are the areas of greatest opportunity to use digital health to benefit underserved populations?
T3 How do we best avoid deepening the “digital divide” in healthcare?
T4 What are some real life examples of effective uses of digital health involving underserved populations?
Throughout the year, John Sharp, Senior Manager, Consumer Health IT at the Personal Connected Health Alliance/HIMSS and I have kept our eyes out for news on multiple angles of the topic of digital health and the underserved. Here are a few we’d like to flag for you:

“Hollywood superagent” Ari Emanuel is the hit man slamming Brian Williams for his Rock Center interview set in a bar with Chicago’s Emanuel brothers that ran Friday.
Two of the brothers wrote a book on the charmed Emanuel boys. Maybe they expected Oprah. Before the pre-taped interview ran, Ari Emanuel sent a letter to Brian’s boss, Steve Burke, whining “This is not what we agreed to.”
NYP: “The NBC anchor was acting “like it was for ‘Meet the Press.’ … “Ari was not happy with it,” the source said of the aggressive interview done in a casual setting. “It was very odd, and [the brothers] were caught off guard. They were there to talk about the book and growing up together. They had offers to do this interview with lots of other people.”
And, apparently, Ari felt things were “off” enough that he subsequently sent a letter to NBC, objecting.
A source told us that the letter said, ‘This was not what we agreed to. He felt like he did the interview in good faith and he was irritated.”
Another source said Ari was so annoyed that when he visited “SNL” on March 9 to watch client Justin Timberlake host the live comedy show, he confronted NBC Chief Executive Steve Burke.
“Ari told Steve he was not happy with the interview,” says a source. “Steve told him that it was NBC News’ thing and that he had nothing to do with it.”
But sources close to NBC and Ari’s agency, WME, which confirmed that the letter was sent, say there was never a heated confrontation with Burke. An NBC source added that the segment, which aired Friday, was “in no way influenced” by Ari’s letter to the network.
A rep for Ari had no comment.
An NBC spokeswoman told us: “We hope viewers will see [the] interview as a lively conversation with three famously colorful brothers who embody a great American story of success.”
Thin-skinned, I’d say, like another Chicagoan: Barack Obama. Oh, I get it. They didn’t like Brian‘s question to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel about gun violence in Chicago. Brian fingering Ari’s “scorched earth” reputation. Dyslexic Ari in “therapy.”
“Aggressive?” You be the judge.

First thing to do is go all over the frame a tap out all of the holes so that any material is removed so things don't jam up when the bolts are put in. Takes a little extra time but stops some trouble down the road.
The motor and trans are all rebuilt , powder coated and ready to put in the bike. We are going to run the motor on my engine stand before we put it in. That way it is tuned and ready to go.
We are putting a new FatBoy style front end on so Craig can get the look he wants. The two toned fenders give it a great look.
We have used 3 wire signal lights with red lenses so they can also be used as brake lights as well. Safety first and that way, should he blow a brake light bulb and not know it, he will still have brake lights so he won't get rear ended.
So we are it......she should look sweet when its done !!
Stay Tuned......more to come

(CNN) -- Jurors began deliberations Wednesday in the trial of five current or former police officers in connection with shootings on a New Orleans bridge in the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
The shootings occurred on Danziger Bridge on September 4, 2005, six days after much of New Orleans went underwater after the powerful hurricane slammed into the Gulf Coast.
Prosecutors contend the officers opened fire, killing 17-year-old James Brissette. Minutes later, an officer allegedly shot and killed 40-year-old Ronald Madison. Four others were wounded in the shootings.
Kenneth Bowen, Robert Gisevius, Robert Faulcon and Anthony Villavasoare are charged in the shooting. They are also accused of covering up the incident, with the help of the fifth defendant -- former detective Arthur Kaufman.
During closing arguments Tuesday, the defense asked the jury to consider the stressful circumstances the officers were operating under following Katrina.
The shootings took place during a week of dire flooding, rampant looting and death by drowning. Police were strained, beset by suicides and desertion.
The prosecution put it more bluntly, calling the officers' actions "murder, plain and simple."
Similar charges had been filed after local prosecutors first investigated the shootings, but no one was convicted. Federal prosecutors then moved in and launched an investigation.
Other officers have already been convicted in connection with the shootings. They include Michael Hunter, who pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy to obstruct justice. Hunter was sentenced to eight years in prison.
According to court documents, Hunter drove in a rental truck to Danziger Bridge with other officers to respond to a radio call about gunshots and reports that officers on the nearby Interstate 10 bridge had come under fire.
At the time, New Orleans police said they got into a running gunbattle with several people.
That's when officers encountered the Madison brothers, Ronald and Lance.
Lance Madison told CNN he and his brother Ronald left their flooded home and were crossing the bridge to find shelter. They were unwittingly headed to an area where armed looters were marauding, he said.
Lance Madison said police officers were the only ones shooting as he and his brother ran for safety from the area. A witness told CNN in 2006 that police shot Ronald Madison in the back as he ran toward a motel at the bottom of the bridge.
"Hunter ... admitted that he was present on the west side of the Danziger Bridge when an officer, identified as Officer A, shot and killed Ronald Madison, a civilian who was running away from officers with his hands in view, and did not have a weapon or pose a threat," the Justice Department said.
Hunter admitted that officers on the east side of the Danziger Bridge fired at civilians, even though the same civilians did not appear to have any weapons, the Justice Department said.

President Trump's defense lawyer Alan Dershowitz pulled the old quote-the-dictionary trick in Trump's Senate impeachment trial, arguing that Trump — or, in fact, any president — cannot be impeached for abuse of power because the people who wrote the U.S. Constitution rejected adding the word "maladministration." In this case, though, the dictionary wasn't much use — "maladministration," according to the New Oxford American Dictionary, means "inefficient or dishonest administration; mismanagement," and literally it means "bad management" — so Dershowitz turned instead to the thesaurus.
"The framers rejected maladministration," Dershowitz told the senators. "And what's a metaphor, or what's a synonym for maladministation? Abuse of power. And when they rejected maladministration, they rejected abuse of power." If you look up maladministration in the dictionary, he added later, "and you look up synonyms, the synonyms include abuse, corruption, misrule, dishonesty, misuse of office, and misbehavior."
The thesaurus argument doesn't exactly hold up, either.

Dershowitz is an expert in criminal law and a famous defense lawyer. Almost all constitutional scholars disagree with his views on impeachment. Clark D. Cunningham, a scholar on the original meaning of the Constitution at Georgia State University College of Law, offered some historical context in Politico, noting that while James Madison rejected the word "maladministration" as an impeachable offense, he understood the "misdemeanors" part of "high crimes and misdemeanors" to mean "misconduct" or "misbehavior," and certainly "a different and broader meaning than criminal acts."
Dershowitz and Jeffrey Toobin argued over whether "maladministration" equals "abuse of power" on CNN Tuesday. "Alan, you are equating maladministration with the abuse of power — you are the only scholar who does that," Toobin said. Dershowitz pointed to a new New York Times op-ed by Harvard's Nicholas Bowie that says "maladministration, abuse of office, abuse of power." You can read the op-ed, which doesn't mention the word "maladministration," at the Times, and watch the spirited argument below. Peter Weber

National Assembly Speaker Raja Pervez Ashraf has said that the resignations of lawmakers belonging to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have been approved and cannot be withdrawn.
Speaking to a private TV channel on Saturday, Ashraf said that resigning and then trying to withdraw the resignation later is not a joke and PTI members should have thought twice before taking such a drastic step. “PTI members should think about what they really want. The resignations cannot be withdrawn now after the speaker’s approval as there is no way to do so [in the Constitution],” he added. He stated that the assemblies of Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa cannot be restored too, as there is no other way to withdraw the resignations.
“I do not know any way to restore the assemblies of Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa,” he maintained. The former prime minister also criticised PTI members for insulting assembly members after resigning, saying that resigning and withdrawing is not a child’s play. He also mentioned that PTI members went to court to get their resignations accepted, but later went back to court asking for their resignations to not be accepted.
Ashraf also condemned the recent raid on former Punjab chief minister Pervez Elahi’s house, saying such incidents should not happen. He stated that no decision has been made to call judges to the privilege committee. Talking about the letter he wrote to Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial, he said that he conveyed the emotions of the members of parliament to Supreme Court judges as the custodian of the House.

Wall St. talks look same on C-SPAN
- On the first day of public negotiations Thursday, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) vowed to block Republican efforts to weaken the bill. AP Photo
"You have tough regulation of derivatives, which I prefer much of what the Senate did," Frank said. "You're going to have a tougher version of the Volcker Rule," referring to the proposal by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker to restrict banks from making trades with their own money. Critics of the Lincoln proposal say a strengthened Volcker rule should suffice.
"I would say, the general direction that Senators Merkley and Levin were moving in is a direction a lot of people are supportive of, but the final version, we'll see," Frank said. "It will be tougher than the House. The House simply empowers the regulators. There will be some direction" given to regulators.
During the meeting, Democrats celebrated their unusual move to invite C-SPAN cameras and dozens of reporters to watch them work. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) called it the “most transparent conference committee in the history of the country.”
Dodd said the Senate Banking Committee has convened eight conference committees in the past 15 years, with only three of them including public meetings.
“We have never done this before,” Dodd said of the move to include C-SPAN as three cameras peered down at him.
But even the transparency pledge became a point of contention.
Republicans criticized Democrats for releasing a revised version of the base bill only a few hours before the conference committee was to meet. They said the last-minute changes belied Democratic pledges to make the committee’s work fully transparent.
The additions included several elements that were part of the bill passed by the House last December, including restrictions on mortgage lending.
“It appears that we are off to a rocky start because the base text before the conference was negotiated and compiled behind closed doors and without any Republican participation,” Shelby said. “Granted, our respective chairmen have scheduled a number of public meetings. But I suspect there have been a number of private meetings where legislative language has been coordinated and drafted without any public access or Republican input.
“It appears, at this point, that the only facet of this conference that will be public is when the Republicans get our one and only chance to amend what has already been decided by our Democrat colleagues behind closed doors,” Shelby said.
Frank admitted that some part of the proceedings would take place behind closed doors. By Capitol Hill standards, however, the committee is expected to be one of the more open of its kind in years. The lawmakers will strategize on proposed amendments privately, but Democrats have promised to finalize those decisions publicly.
“This is going to be a very open process,” Frank said. “Nothing will be put into this final bill that is not advanced, openly debated, subject to amendment by the conference process and voted on.”
The committee will meet again Tuesday to consider changes to thrift provisions, hedge funds, credit-rating agencies and the insurance industry.
It is unclear, at this point, when the committee will take up Lincoln's derivative proposal. It will be among the most watched proposals of the conference committee, which is expected to take about two weeks to complete.
Fresh off her primary election win Tuesday that some Democrats say strengthened her bargaining power, Lincoln defended the proposal in her opening statement.
“This provision will ensure [that] our community banks on Main Street won’t pay the price for reckless behavior on Wall Street,” Lincoln said.

How to create a piece of boat hardware from a photograph!
In this video, Mike Windsor of Windsor Boat Works Ltd, explains how he fabricated a silicon bronze vent for his historic launch “Bimbi”, starting with nothing but a photograph!
Using two computer programs, a CNC Router and a 3D printer, Mike created a wooden and plastic mold pattern that was sent to a foundry to produce a sand casted part, which will soon be chrome plated.
In his usual modest way, Mike explains the process below.

The Lubben Brothers are donating 50% of proceeds toward HARK Publications THAILAND.
HARK MUSIC PUBLICATIONS is pleased to present a vibrant new energetic batch of fresh pickers featuring exceptional virtuosi siblings: triplets Michael, Tom, and Joshua, and little brother Isaac as THE LUBBEN BROTHERS.
The LUBBEN BROTHERS bring with them a trove of creativity, fresh interpretations, and a uniquely homogeneous high lonesome sound which only brothers can provide. Trained as classical musicians, each a composer and performer in his own right, this sibling quartet, hailing from Iowa, Florida, and Kentucky, is deft with bluegrass’ classic roots, displaying a flair for energetic country sounds, stirring gospels, and energetic progressive jams yet never forsaking the true essence of bluegrass
“Our summers included lively bluegrass festivals. Though we did most of our listening while splashing in the river, we inherited a love for the traditional, American music that surrounded us.”
“With classical training as a foundation, we taught ourselves guitar, mandolin, banjo, and bass. For the sake of good music, we didn’t limit ourselves with genre or instrumentation, but chose the tunes we enjoyed the most. This led us to songs ranging from traditional bluegrass and American folk songs, to Celtic tunes and Irish ballads. So, wherever we perform, we hope to spread the joy that music has always given us.”


Neither the oldest Pacha nor the most modern, not the biggest and not the most exotic, nevertheless, the most authentic, the most charismatic, the purest! With five different musical environments interlaced by stairs, doors and “secret” corridors Pacha Ibiza is the place where you want to be seen (or don’t want to be found). Get lost in: The Main Room, which hosts the best international Djs and parties; The Funky Room, where house music with a disco soulful and funky touch is played; The Roof Terrace, with chill-out music, cocktails, the moon and the stars; The Global Room, R&B and Hip-Hop corner – this was the original main room when Pacha first opened in 1973 and its experimental spirit remains ever since; The Pachacha Room, filled with people from the island dancing to latin rhythms and commercial hits; and The Restaurant with its fusion dinners and sushi bar on the summer terrace. Without a doubt, Pacha Ibiza is the place to be.

Learning Fingerprint Reconstruction: From Minutiae to Image The set of minutia points is considered to be the most distinctive feature for fingerprint representation and is widely used in fingerprint matching. It was believed that the minutiae set does not contain sufficient information to reconstruct the original fingerprint image from which minutiae were extracted. However, recent studies have shown that it is indeed possible to reconstruct fingerprint images from their minutiae representations. Reconstruction techniques demonstrate the need for securing fingerprint templates, improving the template interoperability, and improving fingerprint synthesis. But, there is still a large gap between the matching performance obtained from original fingerprint images and their corresponding reconstructed fingerprint images. In this paper, the prior knowledge about fingerprint ridge structures is encoded in terms of orientation patch and continuous phase patch dictionaries to improve the fingerprint reconstruction. The orientation patch dictionary is used to reconstruct the orientation field from minutiae, while the continuous phase patch dictionary is used to reconstruct the ridge pattern. Experimental results on three public domain databases (FVC2002 DB1_A, FVC2002 DB2_A, and NIST SD4) demonstrate that the proposed reconstruction algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art reconstruction algorithms in terms of both: 1) spurious minutiae and 2) matching performance with respect to type-I attack (matching the reconstructed fingerprint against the same impression from which minutiae set was extracted) and type-II attack (matching the reconstructed fingerprint against a different impression of the same finger).

BTJ’s team has been working tirelessly in Afghanistan to help oppressed women who are trying to adjust to life under the new norms of Taliban control. Many of those who have suffered the most in Afghanistan are women and children, which is why BTJ has been directly supporting a new project that supports women who are currently being oppressed by the Afghan regime.
Due to a new open door, BTJ has been able to send support directly to women in need and are receiving daily updates by both video and photo. For security reasons, not many details about the project can be shared in open forums, but we are excited about the new opportunities that God has been providing.
BTJ is on tour this week with Mariam Ibraheem to raise awareness and support of women who are living in closed nations through her personal story found in her new book, SHACKLED.

Reflective debriefing to promote novice nurses' clinical judgment after high-fidelity clinical simulation : a pilot test
Article [Version publiée]
Fait partie deDynamics ; vol. 24, no 4 (Winter 2013), p. 36-41.
Éditeur(s)Canadian Association of critial care nurses
Background: Novice nurses are increasingly beginning their career paths in critical care areas, where they are expected to care for patients whose lives are potentially threatened. They are unable to benefit from years of experience to facilitate their clinical decisions. Reflection after simulation could possibly improve nurses' clinical judgment in complex situations. Design: An educational project was conducted to pilot-test a teaching intervention, which combined reflective debriefing with a simulated critical care experience. Method: Five nurses beginning in an intensive care unit participated in the pilot test. Their perception of their learning and satisfaction with the reflective debriefing and the simulation were collected using open-ended questionnaires. A clinical nurse educator, a faculty member and the first author participated in a group discussion to review the time plan and the affective components of the teaching intervention. Results: Participants reported that the reflective debriefing helped them understand their cognitive processes during the simulation and contributed to clinical judgment development and to their care prioritization and assessment capacities. Observers reported the time plan was adequate and that attention to participants' negative feelings was necessary. Conclusion: The results of this pilot test provide preliminary information that reflective debriefing may be a safe and potentially effective way for novice critical care nurses to learn from a clinical experience and enhance clinical judgment.

Our daughter is now 15 months old and everyone we meet, and I mean even total strangers, comment on how content and happy she is. We bought the book when she was 5 weeks old and by 11 weeks she was sleeping through the night. The great thing about BabyWise is that the flexible routine helps the parent to plan a bit of the day - if your baby sleeps 10.00 - 12.00 then you can either have a nap too or get some chores done knowing how long you've got. The principles of BabyWise make so much sense, and the flexibility really worked for us.Read more ›
Ezzo recommends a 'parent-directed' routine which is more flexible than that prescribed by Gina Ford. As such its recommendations can appeal to parents who find her outline too prescriptive, or feel that it simply doesn't 'fit' their baby. The idea of designing a flexible routine around your baby's individual needs is a sound one, but two things to consider before buying: a) Ezzo doesn't really outline how to do this, and b) it differs very little from the structures of other authors (see for e.g. The Baby Whisperer whose Eat Activity Sleep pattern is all but identical). You certainly don't need to read both.
2 key areas are addressed:
Where Ezzo departs from the norm is his attitude to sleep and naptime, as hinted at in the title of the book. He emphasises that it should be the parent, not the child, who decides when naptime begins and ends, and certain rules therefore apply. As such, he recommends that a baby be left to cry themselves to sleep in order to teach them to self-soothe - by no means the only author to recommend such an approach with children, but perhaps unusual, and arguably unwise, in applying it to small babies. At this age a baby may well cry because of hunger, wind, wet nappy etc and simply leaving them to cry themselves to sleep may not always be the best approach.
'Crying it out' is an issue on which parents and experts differ, and this is no place for the debate; however, it is more usually applied to older babies and toddlers, as they develop an awareness that crying may lead to the return of the parent to the room / cuddle / feed etc.Read more ›

Dorchester Nurse Practitioner Pleads Guilty, Sentenced in Connection with Illegally Prescribing Painkillers
Defendant Illegally Prescribed Thousands of Oxycodone, Lorazepam and Clonazepam Pills to Family and Friends
BOSTON – A Dorchester nurse practitioner has pleaded guilty and been sentenced in connection with illegally prescribing painkillers to her family members and friends across the state, Attorney General Maura Healey announced today.
Roberta Regan, age 51, pleaded guilty today in Suffolk Superior Court to the charges of Illegally Prescribing Oxycodone (10 counts), Unlawful Prescription of Lorazepam (one count) and Unlawful Prescription of Clonazepam (one count).
Following the plea, Judge Rosalind Miller sentenced Regan to serve a two-year sentence in the House of Correction, suspended for five years of probation, with the conditions that she not use any illegal drugs or consume alcohol and submit to random drug and alcohol screens, complete a substance abuse program, not seek a DEA registration number, not work in the medical field. She also must have any employment approved in advance by probation and a Superior Court judge.
“This defendant abused her position as a nurse practitioner and illegally prescribed thousands of powerful painkillers to people who were not her patients and many of whom later became addicted,” said AG Healey. “We will continue to work with federal and state partners to combat actions like these that put drugs in the hands of those battling with addiction.”
Regan was indicted by a Statewide Grand Jury on June 30 on charges that stemmed from incidents in Suffolk, Norfolk, and Plymouth counties.
This case is the result of a joint investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Attorney General’s Office. The case was referred to the DEA after Regan was terminated from her employment as a nurse practitioner at MetroWest Medical Center for misusing hospital prescription pads. The Prescription Drug Monitoring Program revealed Regan had written 119 prescriptions over a one-year period for a total of 10,007 tablets and of those only 12 were prescribed to legitimate patients at the medical center.
“DEA registrants, to include nurse practitioners are responsible to handle controlled substances in compliance with the Controlled Substance Act,” said Special Agent in Charge Michael J. Ferguson. “The diversion of prescription pain killers, in this case oxycodone, contributes to the widespread abuse of opiates which, is a gateway to heroin addiction and is devastating our communities. In response to the ongoing opioid epidemic DEA is committed to working with our law enforcement and regulatory partners to ensure that these rules and regulations are followed. This investigation demonstrates the strength of collaborative efforts in Massachusetts and our strong partnership with Attorney General Healy’s Office to aggressively pursue anyone that illegally prescribes these drugs.”
The investigation revealed Regan was writing prescriptions for family members and friends and then would often receive a portion of the pills back in exchange for writing the prescription. While some of the people who received the illegal prescriptions used the pills to treat various levels of pain, they were never patients of Regan and many developed some level of addiction.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Megan McLaughlin, of AG Healey’s Enterprise, Major and Cyber Crimes Division, with assistance from Victim Witness Advocate Megan Murphy, of the AG’s Victim Witness Services Division. The case was investigated by DEA’s New England Field Division and the AG’s Office.


COVID-19 'will be an endemic virus like the flu,' says Manitowoc County Health Officer
MANITOWOC - Herd immunity against COVID-19 is unlikely to be reached, says Manitowoc County Health Officer Stephanie Lambert.
“I think it will be an endemic virus like the flu,” Lambert said. “We will see it circulate the community and it will constantly be popping up with little flares here and there.
"That doesn’t mean we’re not going to get back to normal," Lambert continued, "but unfortunately COVID-19 will be part of a new normal, just as the flu is part of our normal every winter.”
Lambert and Emergency Services Director Travis Waack presented an update on how the county is continuing to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic to the County Board of Supervisors Tuesday.
Lambert said cases remain relatively low compared to the peak experienced in November. However, the seven-day average was around seven new cases per day, the highest it has been in two months.
“Manitowoc County is faring better than most of the state, but we do need to continue our vigilance,” she said.
As of Wednesday, there had been 7,482 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Manitowoc County and 69 deaths related to the virus. More than 40% of county residents had received at least one dose of a vaccine.
This comes as the County Emergency Management Department is pulling away from managing the local pandemic response and the Health Department is changing gears on the vaccination efforts.
“What we’ve realized in the last month or two months is that we’re moving out of this emergency phase and we’re moving into an ongoing public health phase,” Waack said. “So, Emergency Management, my department, is really stepping back."
Lambert said the Health Department is conducting some internal analysis to find out where the most underserved areas are in Manitowoc County and how they can reach those people to offer them a vaccine.
To do that, Lambert said the department will shift from doing mass vaccine clinics at the Expo grounds to organizing vaccine clinics through employers, the county jail and community sites, as well as reaching those who are homebound.
The last mass vaccination clinic at the Expo Grounds is scheduled for 2:30-3:30 p.m. May 5, with the single-dose vaccine from Johnson & Johnson.

So lets get to it and talk about Better Help Take Medical Insurance..in this article you will find the answer…
hi everybody so today I wish to speak to you about something called better help which is an online therapy platform and I’m also going to tell you how you can get 2 weeks without better help services but first … 2 weeks free trial membership to better help you can try it entirely risk complimentary no strings attached and see how you like it um so what is better help better help is an online therapy service that is kind of an alternative to in-person therapy a subscription to better help offers you access to a therapist basically whenever and it includes limitless text audio and video messaging as well as a weekly live session now I’ve tried this out and my therapist said that you can sort of break up those weekly sessions nevertheless you choose – so she stated you can have possibly 3 20-minute sessions or a one-hour session it’s sort of whatever fits your schedule and whatever fits your needs the best so I myself have tried it out like I stated I have a therapist through better help and it’s really truly basic communicating with them they have a site that’s very simple to engage with as well as an app on your phone that you can send out instantaneous messages through you can you can voice call through
you can even video chat through and it’s really actually easy to navigate so I want to talk to you a bit more about my experience with better help to sort of provide you an idea about what it resembles utilizing it so it took me a while to find the ideal therapist if I’m being sincere so um I tried a couple of therapists to begin with none of them truly felt like a great fit which’s actually important I believe even when finding a therapist out in the real life with in-person interactions is that you need to actually work at discovering one who’s going to be a truly great suitable for you and there’s this it’s no exception for better help either so don’t be afraid to check out different therapists if the first one you get does not seem like the best fit you can keep browsing up until you find like you have an actually good connection with the therapist.
Better Help insurance Better Help Take Medical Insurance Online
that you’re compared with the service makes it really easy to just change therapists when I felt like I wasn’t actually connecting with my very first couple therapists I just chose I think it’s just a choice in the app where you can try to find a various therapist you can read their BIOS and figure out more about them and select which one you want to deal with so I believe part of why I wasn’t truly that impressed to begin with with those first therapists was that they were initially providing me sort of canned responses which didn’t actually sit well
Confronted with signing up with a frantically long NHS waiting list, Joe Rackham went with online counselling instead. “I simply felt that I couldn’t wait any longer– I was inspired and all set to handle my issues and quite liked the idea of doing so in the convenience of my own home,” said the 29-year-old, who lives in London. After an online search, he discovered a therapist whose profile suited his requirements and booked a chat session for the next day.
The doctor app Babylon uses treatment to 150,000 active users, while PlusGuidance, an online counselling service, has 10,000 users. Talkspace, another online therapy platform, reports it has 500,000 registered users worldwide, with a lot of in the United States.
Online training encourages therapists on everything from using emojis to preventing misconceptions. They likewise need to secure patients’ individual data– a concern that has triggered debate in the US, where huge online treatment platforms have actually come under the spotlight.
Buckley stated patients should inspect services’ personal privacy policies before signing up. “Not all online counselling sites use expertly trained therapists or stick to a principles policy, so ask your GP for a recommendation in the very first instance. Similar to all sort of services and support, what works for someone might not work for somebody else,” he said.
Marc Bush, chief policy adviser at Young Minds, stated that while online counselling services are important, “they shouldn’t change in person therapy with a skilled expert. If a young person is struggling, we would motivate them to speak with their GP in the first instance, or to contact a recognized service like The Mix, Childline or the Samaritans.”.
For Rackham, who has generalised anxiety disorder, online counselling wasn’t the best fit. “I felt it was near impossible for the therapist to actually get a sense of the issues I was handling, as all they needed to go from was my typed-out words. I believe I realised after that online session how important interpersonal interaction was.
” I’m a big fan of using technology in all locations of my life as an option to daily issues. I have apps for everything, however when it pertains to psychological health, you need to select how technology plays a role in your recovery very carefully.”. Better Help Take Medical Insurance
The company explains BetterHelp as the “biggest online counseling platform worldwide,” tailored towards helping individuals handling problems “such as tension, stress and anxiety, relationships, parenting, anxiety, addictions, eating, sleeping, injury, anger, family disputes, LGBT matters, grief, religious beliefs [or] self esteem.” The company’s frequently asked question section on its website clearly specifies BetterHelp’s app and counselors should not be utilized for people handling an extreme mental illness (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder) or for individuals considering self-harm. Instead, the app prides itself on having accredited therapists and mental health experts readily available to assist individuals via text, telephone call or video chat. That’s what many YouTubers who have accepted sponsorships from the business typically state in their own videos, where they speak on the tensions in their personal lives and feelings bordering on anxiety or anxiety. Bobby Burns, Elle Mills, Philip DeFranco, Heath Hussar, Boogie2988, Shane Dawson and ChandlerNWilson are all creators who have Better Help Take Medical Insurance sponsors now.
Much of these creators have discussed mental health concerns in the past, however as burnout becomes a bigger topic within the neighborhood– and traditional world– sponsorships including BetterHelp have actually increased, regardless of the app not being precisely what the developers are promoting.

Customize your JAMA Network experience by selecting one or more topics from the list below.
Answer: Focal Nodular Hyperplasia
Figure 1. Computed tomographic scan of the abdomen demonstrating a large enhancing mass in the right hemiliver.
Figure 2. Intraoperative photograph demonstrating the nodular surface of the mass protruding from the undersurface of the right hemiliver. Scale in centimeters is shown.
The preoperative evaluation of primary hepatic tumors in children can be challenging. In young patients aged 5 to 20 years, malignant tumors outnumber benign tumors by an approximately 2:1 ratio.1Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is a benign lesion with a distinct female predominance, and it is commonly seen in adults and less commonly in children. More than 90% of the lesions are asymptomatic. Review of the literature suggests that the average size of pediatric FNH lesions that come to clinical attention is 7.5 cm, although a large range of tumor sizes has been reported.2-4The cause of FNH remains unclear, although vascular anomaly or injury has been theorized. In addition, oral contraceptive use may be associated with a higher rate of bleeding into FNH lesions.1Although treatment of FNH has often consisted of surgical resection, observation alone has also been associated with a good outcome.3However, resection is advocated in symptomatic cases or in any cases of diagnostic uncertainty.
Hepatoblastoma is the most frequent primary hepatic malignancy in children from birth to 2 years of age, and most hepatoblastoma lesions are seen before the child is 5 years old.1Typical manifestation is an abdominal mass, often identified by parents or at routine examination. Symptoms, when they occur, include weight loss, anorexia, nausea, abdominal pain, and jaundice; α-fetoprotein levels are elevated in more than 90% of cases and can be used to aid diagnosis, as well as to follow response to therapy or resection.1,5Although half of hepatoblastoma lesions are considered unresectable at the time of diagnosis, and as many as 20% of patients may have pulmonary metastases, neoadjuvant chemotherapy can increase the resectability rate to 90%, although extensive resection and even liver transplantation may be required for larger lesions.6
Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most frequent primary hepatic maliganancy in patients aged 5 to 20 years, with abdominal pain and/or an abdominal mass being the most common manifestation.1A higher prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma has been described in both adults and children with hepatitis B virus seropositivity, with vertical transmission being an important route of exposure in the pediatric group.7Laboratory findings may include elevated levels of α-fetoprotein, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and alkaline phosphatase. Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging are most useful for determining resectability, which is possible in only 10% to 30% of cases.8Although surgical resection, including liver transplantation when appropriate, along with chemotherapy and irradiation, are the mainstay of treatment, the long-term prognosis is poor.
Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma is an unusual primary hepatic tumor that is most commonly seen in children. Patients usually have abdominal pain and/or an abdominal mass, often associated with anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and less often associated with chest pain, jaundice, fever, and cardiac murmur secondary to extension of tumor. Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma tumors are typically large, with lesions as big as 35 cm in diameter.1Although undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma may be associated with elevated levels of aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and alkaline phosphatase, an elevated level of α-fetoprotein is not seen with this tumor. At computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma may appear cystlike, although findings at ultrasonography and pathology analysis can be used to confirm the predominantly solid nature of these tumors.8,9As with hepatocellular carcinoma, surgical resection and various combinations of chemotherapy and radiation have been used to treat undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma, but long-term outcome remains poor.

Steam games can be accessed from the Microsoft Xbox Series X. There are clearly some limitations to this. You have an Xbox Insider account. You have installed the latest version of Edge browser. Connect mouse and keyboard via bluetooth. And use a service other than GeForce Now. The result is encouraging.
Everyone agrees on that The future of video games is linked, at least in part, to live broadcasting. And this is not impossible. First, because video games are becoming more and more immaterial, so that players are not connected to the physical object. Then because networks (Optical fiber And the The fifth generation networkIt provides very fast speeds and less response time, providing almost as good experience as a game installed on a hard drive. Finally, because entertainment content consumption patterns (movies, series, music, games, books, comics) encourage the emergence of the subscription model. Like Netflix.

The Xbox Series X, despite its power, in a few years (between 7 and 10 years) will have to face the fact that it no longer meets the technical requirements of a video game in the future. On the other hand, it will then be ready to jump straight into the world of streaming games. Microsoft is already preparing for this. Two signs show this. Firstly, xCloud will soon be compatible with Windows 10. The beta version has already started. Xbox primarily works on Windows. Then Xbox will soon take advantage of the new web browser which will assist with this transition.
Xbox inherits Windows 10 Edge Chromium Browser
This new browser is the Chromium version of Edge. It came to Windows early last year. It has definitely replaced the previous version. It will be pushed by Microsoft on all Xbox Series Xs soon thanks to the same update that improves Quick Resume functionality. It is currently in beta. Xbox Insider Program Alpha members can test it now. And with a little bit of decorating on the cake, this browser is compatible with office accessories, such as A keyboard and mouse. What makes Xbox a mini workstation (with Office Online).
Tom Warren, celebrity journalist from the edgePart of the Xbox Insider Program. So he was able to play around with the new browser and test compatibility with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. He even went above and beyond because he tried it Play Steam games directly from Xbox Series X. There is clearly no link to access Steam from the console. Even Nvidia’s GeForce Now service doesn’t support Chromium on Xbox.
Stream PC screen is required to play Steam on Xbox Series X.
So the journalist used an app called Parsec, Which allows access to a computer from a web browser. The application streams the content of the remote computer screen. From that computer (which is his device), launch Steam. He played it on his console. This solution is clearly not applicable. Nor is it intuitive (or easy to use). But the result is rather interesting. Note that it’s also played by Stadia, since Google’s streaming game service is Chromium-compatible. This is actually faster to use. Find below the video he created to illustrate this technical test.

Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish has been voted by you as the 3rd best player in the EFL.
Over the last month, we have been gathering votes from you to find the best managers and players in the EFL. And after counting the votes, we have discovered you think that Grealish is the 3rd best player in the Football League. He has moved up 11 places from his 14th place finish on this list last year.
Ever since Aston Villa have been relegated from the Premier League, there has been a lot of pressure on Grealish’s shoulders. Because he is widely seen as a player too good for this league, he has been linked with some of the best clubs in the country after all, fans have been expecting him to outclass many of the defences he faces in the Sky Bet Championship. But that also marks him out as a target, a player that those same defences want to beat and take out of the game because that would be a crowning achievement of their career.
So it is credit to Grealish that despite all of the pressure and targeting from defences across the league that he was still able to be a supreme performer. He was the player every fan wanted, someone able to completely change games in Villa’s favour when he turned it on. And thankfully for the Villains, he turned it on on numerous occasions. In the 34 appearances he made this season, Grealish was able to score six goals.

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley thinks “we should always protect whistleblowers.”
In an interview on CNN Thursday, Haley conceded she was “disagreeing” with President Donald Trump and some congressional Republicans who want the anonymous Ukraine whistleblower to be identified.
“I mean, I believe in whistleblower laws,” she told CNN.
“I think you have to protect a whistleblower, and then I think, in turn, the whistleblower has to abide by those laws and the fact that they don’t allow any sort of partisan leaking or anything like that to have happen.
“We don’t know that that’s happened either, but until then, I do think we should always protect whistleblowers,” she added
The whistleblower’s complaint alleges Trump abused his official powers “to solicit interference” from Ukraine in the 2020 election and that the White House took steps to cover it up.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
Haley said it was “really hard” to see where the president’s actions rise “to the level of impeachment,” and defended the White House’s refusal to cooperate with impeachment investigators, calling the process a series of “political games back and forth.”

Malaysian League supporters have been crowned the Most Valuable Player (MVP) at the Virtual 2020 National Football Award (ABK20).
Compared to the previous tradition of awarding local players as the winner of the MVP, this time round the Jury Panel of the Malaysian Football League (MFL) felt that the award should be given to the fans as a sign of their strong support for local football.
According to MFL Chief Executive Officer Dato ‘ Ab Ghani Hassan, supporters remained faithful to their respective clubs in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, and as such, they deserved recognition.
The total viewership of the Malaysian League throughout the MCO (Movement Control Order) was one of the factors why Malaysian League supporters were chosen as the winner of the MVP.
- The viewership of the Malaysian League 2020 totalled 29,315,113
- Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) match against Selangor in the CIMB Super League saw the highest number of views with 1,385,727
- For the Premier League, the highest views were 37,133 between UKM FC and Kelantan
- The first round matches of the TM Malaysia Cup totalled 6,657,755 with the highest views being the Kedah vs Pahang tie at 2,103,602
In the meantime, seven-time CIMB Super League winners JDT emerged as the biggest winners at ABK20 with five awards.
JDT’s Farizal Marlias won the Best Goalkeeper award to be followed by Aidil Zafuan Abd. Radzak as the Best Defender 2020 while JDT’s head coach Benjamin Mora was voted as the Best Coach and last year’s MVP winner Safawi Rasid winning the Best Midfielder for 2020.
The Southern Tigers capped their glorious season as the Team of the Year.
It was also a meaningful night for Perak’s Shahrel Fikri when he emerged as the Local Top Scorer of the CIMB Super League 2020 with 10 goals.
Selangor’s Ifedayo Omosuyi won the Top Scorer award of the CIMB Super League 2020 with 12 goals while Penang’s Casagrande was crowned the Premier League Top scorer 2020 with nine goals.
