This summer is proving to be a busy one for Jane Blanchard. In May, she opened for Halifax folk-crooner Ben Caplan at his headlining performance as part of the Living Roots Music Festival in Fredericton and was announced as one of several performers hitting the stage for the second edition of Saint John’s Area 506 festival alongside Tegan & Sarah, The Strumbellas and Stars.
Having recently returned from a summer tour through the Maritimes, Quebec and Ontario with David In The Dark (a band in which she plays key, sings and helps manage), Blanchard is now ready to retrace her steps with a series of solo performances in early July.
In September 2016, Blanchard released her debut, Narcissus, a three track EP on which she is joined by fellow DITD bandmate Stefan Westner on drums. And earlier this year, she released the track Nowhere-Seeking as a live performance video shot and edited by photographer/filmmaker Andrew Kelly. Watch that above. Tour dates below.

Member of Parliament for Builsa South has slammed persons who have justified President Akufo-Addo’s comments he made when he visited victims of the dam spillage.
The lawmaker could not fathom why some individuals will justify the unfortunate comments made by the president.
On October 16, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo visited the Volta Region to evaluate the Akosombo dam spillage’s impact and the situation of its victims.
He stirred controversy by expressing sympathy for the victims, despite their lack of political affiliation.
“When these things happen and government acts, politics does not come into the matter at all. When I took the Oath of Office as President, I took the oath as president for every single individual in Ghana, all people in Ghana, all districts and whether they voted for me or not, once I have taken the oath, I am the President of all the people so Togbe, I want the people here, beginning with you, and the elders to understand that when something like this happens and Government acts, Government is acting for Ghanaians, all Ghanaians.
“I came here because Ghanaians are having difficulties and are suffering, and it is my responsibility to try and help. Because, if it is a question of counting who votes for me and who doesn’t vote for me, then I shouldn’t be here, because you don’t vote for me. But that is not my concern. And, in any event, one day you will vote for me and my party,” he said to some of the victims at Mepe in the Region.
Despite the harsh criticism levelled at the President, some have dismissed his remarks as a joke.
Dr. Clement Apaak, on the other hand, has questioned why such people would defend the president.
He called the remarks inappropriate.
He said that the president was not at a comedy act when he delivered the scathing remarks.
In a tweet the MP said “A joke! Those seeking to excuse the grossly insensitive comments by NADAA when he finally visited victims of the floods must bow their heads in shame. He was joking? Was he attending a comedy show or a festival? A leader joking when thousands of citizens are distraught?”

The major searches on my computer lead to beautiful beaches in India as we are travelling with kids. Beaches in India comes as saviour to beat the heat in summer.

Being a kid of wanderlust traveller my angel has become habituated to travel as soon as we get long weekend or vacations. Best way to spend time with your kids for a small vacation is to beaches. I think it is the best way of enjoy vacation with your kids as well as get some me time while watching sunrise and sunset.
In fact my daughter learnt her water cycle lesson on beach itself as I feel when you teach your kid at real time process, the concepts become clearer. Not only water cycle but also about aquatic animals, kind of sands, temperature fluctuations, kind of shells, turtles, star- fishes and so on. Recently when we went to Muzhappilangad longest drive in beach, we found a big white starfish which angel could touch and feel. We collected many shells to make decorative for home. Other than beaches offer lot of adventurous activity which can be done with kids also. This is one of the aspect of my blog -Parenting while travelling.
Beaches are some of the greatest and most enjoyable natural places this earth offers us. Trips to beaches can be enormous fun and awesome hangout during vacations especially during summer vacation. To get rid of scorching sun and warming weather, chilling out on beach is the best option. Spending recreational time with family and living memorable memories with them is what everyone needs something to stay away from the stressful and busy life.
Fishing at samudra Beach
Learning while travelling
Playing on beach can benefit you and your Kids health in numerous ways:
The beaches in India has a very rich source of silicon; it leaves the skin looking fresh and toned.
Walking barefoot along the beaches works wonders, helps removing dead skin from the soles.
Kids along with their family can also enjoy water sports available on beaches.
On the beaches kids can enjoy doing other activities like swimming, cycling, playing outdoor games etc and can enjoy their leisure time under the open sky to the fullest.
Doing several activities on the beaches helps kids to boost their energy level, helps increase their confidence level and also make them active and fit.
You can also try new adventures available on beaches with kids, since trying something new helps kids gain a better sense of selfness.
Several precautions to be taking while going on Beaches:
You should always carry a Sunscreen with higher SPF while you go to the beaches, because Sun, Sand and Salt together can damage your skin to an extreme if not taken care properly.
You should carry enough water, energy drinks and snacks with you.
Carry Mat, Hat or Cap or Umbrella whichever available to protect yourself from the direct effect of Sunrays.
Wear Clothes which hide majority part of your body or else use Sunscreen after every few hours.

A day at a beach or a stay for few days near the beach area with family can be so much fun. These are just few of the many benefits of taking a family vacation with kids to the beaches. I hope this has motivated you enough to plan next vacation with kids to Beaches.

Radio.com profile all five nominees for Best Actress at the 2015 Academy Awards.
The Oscars are often a den of crazy, from rambling speeches and mangled names to some truly terrible host routines. But do you remember Sacheen Littlefeather? Or the streaker?
With the Academy Awards around the corner, here’s a look at which sports personalities would win which awards this Sunday.
Of the eight films nominated for Best Picture at the 2015 Oscars, only one was a blockbuster. In case you missed some of them, here’s our take on all of them.
If you haven’t seen the Best Picture nominees for the 2015 Oscars, you’re in luck. A group of children has reenacted each film — with a twist.
An Academy Award nomination is an incomparable stamp of approval for any film — and for an indie feature coming out of the Sundance Film Festival, in some cases, it’s a downright miracle.
With only eight films nominated for Best Picture at this year’s Oscars, we point out five additional films that deserved a spot in this prestigious Academy Award category.
Millions of people will be watching the Oscars, waiting to see their favorite celebrities on the screen. Luckily, you don’t have to move to Hollywood and become a movie star to feel like one.
Keep up with the Oscars, from the nominees to the red carpet to the podium. And the Oscar goes to…
Martin Scorsese’s adventure “Hugo” leads the Academy Awards with 11 nominations, among them best picture and the latest director slot for the filmmaker.
“The King’s Speech” has been crowned best picture at an Academy Awards ceremony as precise as a state coronation. The monarchy drama led as expected with four Oscars and predictable favorites claimed acting honors.
Academy Awards winners Sandra Bullock, Jeff Bridges, Halle Berry and Marisa Tomei are confirmed to hit the stage as presenters at the next Oscar show on Feb. 27, along with past nominee Oprah Winfrey.

It was an easygoing night on the town for British buds Harry Styles, 19, & Robert Pattinson, 27, stopping in at Chateau Marmont for a drink together!
When two stars this good-looking are out together, who could look away? Twitter sightings reported that Rob and Harry were having drinks together at Chateau Marmont in LA. Read on for more details!
Did missing his lady love K-Stew, who did not make an appearance at the awards show, put Rob in a bad mood?
Robert Pattinson arrived solo at the Teen Choice Awards on August 7th. Well not exactly solo– he was seated with his Twilight co-stars Nikki Reed and Ashley Greene. However, there was no sign of his favorite vampire lover, Kristen Stewart, and we have to say it seemed to damper his mood!
Jen recounts her first run-in with Chelsea’s man Andre Balazs, and how she made fun of the hotel he owns!
Jennifer Aniston may be a millionaire movie star, but it seems she makes the same blunders as friends are sometimes prone to do. The actress was promoting her upcoming film Horrible Bosses on pal Chelsea Handler‘s talk show Chelsea Lately, and talked about how she unknowingly dissed Chelsea’s boyfriend Andre Balazs when they first met!
Hayden’s getting over her fist-fighting ex Wladimir Klitschko by reportedly tackling a new athlete: Mark Sanchez!
It hasn’t even been two weeks since we learned about Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko‘s breakup, and it’s already being reported that she’s moved onto Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez! Though a source tells RumorFix.com that Hayden and Mark are “just friends” after they were photographed May 30 outside an In-N-Out Burger in Laguna Hills, Calif., another eyewitness claims things are just heating up.
Lindsay and new gal pal Eliat Anschel hit up the Chateau Marmont in the actress’ brand new $150,000 Maserati & didn’t even make it there before being pulled over by the cops — it looks like rehab may have been a failure again for the troubled starlet!
Lindsay Lohan, you’re going to get BUSTED again if you keep this up! Lilo was back to what she does best Aug. 28 — hitting up the town with her friends in tow and with the cops right behind her. Before arriving at the Chateau Marmont with new BFF Eliat Anschel, Linds was pulled over by a cop for running a stop sign according to X17 Online.
Does this mean Leo & Bar are off … again? What is the deal with this relationship?
Will Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli ever decide if they are on or off? One minute they are lounging in Cabo together, and the next, Leo is off flirting with groups of girls in L.A. in the days leading up to the Oscars! He even left with three girls following behind — and no Bar! Read more
The super couple has moments of insecurity — just like us!
Remember that New York Times-sponsored Golden Globes party we told you about yesterday? (You know, the one where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes awkwardly avoided Katie’s ex-fiancé Chris Klein.) Believe it or not, TomKat showed up to the party not sure if they were even going to get in! According to an eyewitness at the party, TomKat and their bodyguard rode up to the sixth floor of Chateu Marmont together, then stared out onto the floor not sure if they were in the right place. They stopped to pause for so long that the elevator even started to close. After finally venturing out and checking in with the rep from the Times, they got to the suite door and ran into another problem — it was really heavy and they couldn’t get it open! Read more
Would you avoid a party if you knew your ex was going?
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes got their schmooze on at last night’s New York Times Golden Globes party at LA’s Chateau Marmont, but there was one guest they didn’t cozy up to — Katie’s ex-fiancé Chris Klein! Yes, while Tom and Katie made their rounds inside the party, Chris spent most of the night chatting up other guests outside on the balcony. Also worth noting: Katie’s longer hair! Between spending time with Chris and sporting a ‘do from her days on “Dawson’s Creek,” Katie had herself a little Flashback Friday! We wonder if Tom found it as amusing as we do. Read more
Do you think Katie would fit in with the ‘Glee’ kids?
We all know Katie Holmes loves to sing and dance (think of her special performances on ABC’s “Eli Stone” in 2008 and FOX’s “So You Think You Can Dance” in 2009), and now we think she might be gunning for a role on FOX’s musical hit, “Glee!” We spotted her chatting with “Glee” star Dianna Agron at last night’s New York Times-sponsored Golden Globes party at the Chateau Marmont in LA — and Katie was asking Dianna lots of questions about the show, including the upcoming Madonna-themed episode.

This Week in Sleep Medicine: October 24, 2016
Your media watchdog for headlines and trends
relevant to sleep technology and patient education.
“For some, treatment doesn't clear the mental fog of sleep apnea”
October 19, 2016
From the article: “Between 6 percent and 34 percent of patients continue to experience daytime sleepiness after treatment and experts don’t know why this occurs, [Dr. Ksdy] Werli [Federal University of Sao Paulo in Brazil] told Reuters Health. …
"To understand what other problems this might cause, the study team collected data on 15 patients, ranging in age from 35 to 60 years old, who had been treated with CPAP but still felt sleepy during the day. …
"The study team also recruited a comparison group of 15 people with sleep apnea using CPAP and reporting no lingering sleepiness…
"The research team tested participants to assess their brain function, including attention, memory and judgment. They also screened participants for depression symptoms because depression can negatively affect mental functions like memory and motivation.”
Takeaway: While the study is small, it sheds light on the possibility that some people may experience residual daytime sleepiness despite being fully treated. As to the cause of this residual EDS, sleep hygiene is a typical focal point, but more and larger studies may spin off this initial one as researchers seek to identify other previously unknown causes for daytime fatigue in the well-treated OSA patient using CPAP.
“ASV Use: The Providers’ Role [Free Sleep Review Webinar]”
October 24, 2016
From the article: “In the world of PAP therapy for the treatment of sleep-disordered breathing, it can be difficult for a provider to know when and how to use ASV (auto servo-ventilation). In addition, troubleshooting and follow-up of ASV is not frequently discussed. The information in this discussion will be applicable to sleep technologists, managers, mid-level providers, and physicians.”
Takeaway: The webinar takes place THIS THURSDAY… it’s free! Sign up now to gain more insight into the specifics of working with ASV protocols, both at titration and beyond.
“AASM members share expertise and insight with local and national news media”
AMERICAN ACADEMY OF SLEEP MEDICINE
October 20, 2016
From the article: “Recent news coverage of sleep-related topics has included comments and remarks from AASM members who have helped raise awareness of the importance of healthy sleep.”
Takeaway: More sleep health professionals are taking their concerns about sleep health to the media.
These efforts are not and should not be limited to members of the AASM. The AAST embraces any efforts that sleep technologists may wish to take sleep health education to the mainstream.
This article focuses on the AASM’s recent efforts but also gives resources for you and your sleep center in the event your staff might be interested in taking your message about sleep concerns, like the consequences of drowsy driving, costs of sleep deprivation, school start times, or drugs and sleep (as examples) out into the community (the link requires someone to have an AASM membership to access).
Your work doesn’t need to begin and end in the lab, after all, and our communities want and need to hear from us.
“The life-saving Vizhi is the Malaysian winner of the James Dyson award”
October 23, 2016
From the article: “Vizhi is an anti-sleep device that would analyse a driver's eye movements and detect if he is feeling drowsy.”
Takeaway: These new inventions are good for sleep health awareness because they have the potential for reducing drowsy driving rates, but also because their existence places sleep deprivation squarely inside the mainstream zeitgeist. The more we talk about the cost of sleep deprivation, the more that ordinary people become aware and find motivation to do something about their sleep problems… which includes making a trip to the local sleep lab.
“How medications can impact your body clock and sleep”
October 11, 2016
From the article: “According to David Ray, Professor of Medicine and Endocrinology at the University of Manchester, there is still much for the experts to learn when it comes to the science of how medications interact with sleep.”
Takeaway: As sleep technologists, we stand to become better at our jobs if we have a broader knowledge of how common drugs impact sleep and circadian rhythms.
HEALTH LITERACY WATCH
“Let’s Teach Our Children About Sleep”
AMERICAN SLEEP ASSOCATION via HUFFINGTON POST SLEEP + WELLNESS
October 20, 2016
From the article: “As we gain a better understanding of the importance of sleep, it makes sense for us to ensure that our children—who are likely to benefit the most—understand, prioritize, and get the sleep their minds and bodies need.”
Takeaway: First, congratulations to the American Sleep Association for working in tandem with Huffington Post to get the word out about sleep health!
Second, this deserves more consideration as a potential outreach effort sleep technologists could spearhead.
It may be that once we reach adulthood, it becomes very difficult to change poor sleep habits and conditioning from childhood sleep problems. In the sleep lab, we see the outcome of this all the time. Some patients succeed in overcoming their obstacles while others struggle the entire time and may even give up.
What if we could improve the chances that children could avoid the sleep lab in their adulthood by teaching them about sleep health and hygiene NOW?
Teaching awareness and prevention is always a good idea. Sleep technologists who are interested in moving the discussion out of the lab and into the community might focus on preventive medicine by approaching:
- public or private schools from K-12
- kids’ clubs (like the Boys & Girls Club or scouting organizations)
- youth athletic teams (extracurricular, private clubs, school sponsored teams)
Reaching out to both children and their parents with sleep hygiene tips and education about the long-term outcomes of poor sleep, with solutions at hand, can turn sleep health into a way for families to empower themselves (parents and kids) to lead healthier lives.
“Oklahoma sleep study hearing scheduled for Oct. 27”
AMERICAN ACADEMY OF SLEEP MEDICINE
October 20, 2016
From the article: “The hearing, which is open to the public, will be held in the state capitol in Oklahoma City in room 206 from 9 a.m. to Noon. Since this is not an official committee meeting, an agenda will not be distributed and the session will not be streamed online. However, individuals are welcome to attend in person.”
Takeaway: Reminder: This is taking place in Oklahoma THIS WEDNESDAY. If you’re in OK and want to attend, see the article for more information. Your presence matters! Sleep technologists are in a great position to share insights into the value of overnight PSGs, something the legislature needs to hear from the folks in the trenches.

Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was granted his release from his WWE contract early August after he requested his release due to him contacting WWE Chairman Vince McMahon to voice his grievances and his displeasure for how his daughter, WWE RAW Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair, is being booked as of late. According to reports, it was the WWE CEO’s decision to release Ric Flair from his WWE contract, but reports were also made that it was Flair who decided to leave WWE on his own volition as he noted that the two sides didn’t have the same vision for his future.
Rumors and speculations then started arising on which wrestling promotion Flair will end up going to, with All Elite Wrestling being the top choice as that is where Andrade El Idolo, former WWE Superstar and Charlotte Flair’s fiancé, wrestles. Andrade also previously mentioned that he wanted to bring his entire family to AEW, which includes Charlotte Flair, Ric Flair and a number of ROH Stars.
Andrade El Idolo was supposed to face PAC at last Sunday night’s All Out, but flight issues prevented the match from taking place. A backstage segment took place at All Out, where Andrade noted he was at the PPV and is ready to compete against PAC, then he questioned Chavo Guerrero regarding PAC’s flight issues as it was hinted that Chavo may have been the person behind PAC’s flight being canceled, which seemed to cause a little bit of tension between Andrade and Chavo Guerrero. During the recent Rampage tapings, Andrade attacked Chavo Guerrero, which was teased at All Out from their backstage segment.
There have been rumors that two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair will be heading to AEW soon and that he will be replacing Chavo Guerrero as Andrade El Idolo’s manager. Dave Meltzer mentioned on a recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that while nothing has been confirmed yet the word going around is that Ric Flair is surely headed to AEW once he is legally able to. Ric Flair was at All Out this past Sunday night as he was there to visit AEW President Tony Khan and to hang out with a number of wrestlers on the roster.
Last July 21st, Chavo Guerrero made his AEW debut as the executive consultant of Andrade El Idolo. He was brought in to replace Vickie Guerrero because several people felt that Vickie isn’t a good fit in the role with Andrade. When Chavo was brought in, it was not known that Ric Flair will be leaving the WWE, but now it looks like Flair will be paired with his future son-in-law, Andrade when he makes his AEW debut.

Analysis: Buckeyes can rebound, but only if they fix their defense
Amid the stunned disappointment, the Ohio State Buckeyes affirmed hope.
Saturday’s 35-28 loss to Oregon was a jarring slap for a third-ranked team with national championship expectations.
The game brought back memories of another humbling home opener with a Buckeye quarterback starting his second game. In 2014, Virginia Tech upset Ohio State 35-21. That turned out to be a blessing in disguise, a springboard to an unlikely national championship.
“They did it in '14,” Ohio State defensive tackle Haskell Garrett said. “We can do it in 2021.”
No margin for error for Ohio State now in national championship hopes
One loss does not doom the season. But it does erase the margin for error. No two-loss team has made the College Football Playoff.
Before the Buckeyes can think about the CFP, they have much to fix. Seven years ago, Ohio State bullied Oregon in the title game. The roles were reversed Saturday.
Even without their best player, defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux, No. 12 Oregon won the battle at the line of scrimmage. The Buckeyes didn’t have a sack and rarely pressured quarterback Anthony Brown. Oregon averaged 7.1 yards while running for 269 yards. Ohio State managed only 128 yards on the ground, averaging 4.1 per attempt.
Though it faltered late, the Buckeyes’ passing game was the only thing that kept the game close. C.J. Stroud, despite an apparent sore shoulder, threw for 484 yards, the second-most in Ohio State history. Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson and Jaxon Smith-Njigba all had 100-yard receiving games.
In the 2014 Virginia Tech game, the Buckeye passing game was inept. Ohio State coaches admitted that Hokies defensive coordinator Bud Foster had outschemed them.
On Saturday, Oregon offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead got the better of Ohio State defensive coordinator Kerry Coombs. The Ducks had the Buckeyes on their heels all game. Brown threw to open receivers most of the game.
Oregon scored three touchdowns on seemingly the same play — the ball went left and the outnumbered Buckeyes offered little resistance.
“If they hit you with it once, that's not good, but you want to get it fixed,” Day said. “To get hit with it twice, then there's an issue that needs to be fixed.
“I think any time you run into that situation, you have to ask yourself, ‘Is it the personnel? Is it the scheme? Or is the coaching?’ And that's where we've got to get back to the film and figure out what exactly that is.”
Kerry Coombs: Defensive coordinator in hot seat with Ohio State fans
Many Buckeye fans are directing their ire toward Coombs, a lauded cornerbacks coach who hadn’t been a coordinator until Day hired him back from the Tennessee Titans before last season.
“My response is that I'm responsible,” Coombs said. “That's my job. We have to play better. When we say we have to play better, I'm not blaming the players. The standard of our defense is one of excellence. The Silver Bullet standard is very high, and so I have to do a better job.”
Coombs said he’s comfortable with the Buckeyes’ scheme, which was effective in 2019 under Jeff Hafley.
“I love the scheme,” Coombs said. “I love the players.”
But something is broken. His defense has been exposed the past three games. Alabama scored 52 points and gained 621 yards in last season’s CFP title game and could have scored more if it hadn’t eased its foot off the pedal.
Minnesota, not exactly college football’s most explosive offense, scored 31 points and gained 408 yards in the season-opener. Oregon had 505 yards of offense.
“I don't think there's any question that we have to do things differently going forward,” Coombs said. “Obviously, the result today is not acceptable. We'd have to do things differently. Absolutely.”
The Buckeyes should have time to make changes because they’re entering the soft portion of their schedule. Ohio State plays Tulsa and Akron the next two weeks, followed by Rutgers and Maryland before an off week.
Ohio State’s subpar running game on Saturday is likely an aberration. The Buckeyes have the offensive line and running backs to be effective.
But the defensive fix isn’t so obvious. The line needs to be its strength, and it wasn’t Saturday. The secondary is likely to be without safety Josh Proctor, who was carted off after an injury. The inexperienced linebackers looked like inexperienced linebackers.
Ohio State is used to having difference-makers on defense, players who force offensive coordinators to scheme for them. Who are they are this team? There’s no obvious candidate.
The Buckeyes have rotated a plethora of players the first two games looking for the right mix. They’re still looking.
“I'm disappointed,” Coombs said. “I hate losing. I hate it with a passion. You don’t come to Ohio State to get beat. You don't come to Ohio State to get beat in the ‘Shoe.”
But that’s what happened. The key is what happens next.

The current project is designed to assess the level of damage that a realistic irregular bridge will undergo after the occurrence of an earthquake. This study encourages an improved understanding of post-seismic return to service and repair of an irregular bridge. A more sophisticated approach will be used to analyze the complex vibrations of the bridge in response to a seismic excitation and to simulate the progressive collapse of the bridge during an earthquake. If the damage in bridge exceeds a predetermined safe and repairable level, a seismic retrofit plan will be proposed to control the post-earthquake damage level and safeguard the bridge against catastrophic failure. In addition, the outcome of current study is expected to improve the current seismic analysis methods of bridges with considerable irregular geometry.

Can conservation strategies for a single species be used to inform and guide restoration of ecological structure and function in floodplain ponds? Branton, Margaret
Freshwater ecosystems worldwide are degraded by habitat loss, fragmentation and conversion. The practice of ecological river restoration has developed to address degradation, but there has been limited monitoring and assessment of river restoration projects that could be used to improve the science of restoration ecology. I used meta-analysis and studied floodplain ponds restored for juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in southwestern British Columbia, Canada to test ecological and conservation science hypotheses about how restoration projects are planned and assessed. I evaluated the efficacy of the umbrella species concept, which suggests that conservation strategies designed for one species may benefit co-occurring species, using meta-analysis. I empirically assessed the potential for coho to be an umbrella species in restored ponds. I studied the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem function (i.e., standing biomass) and explicitly considered the role of habitat complexity in mediating that relationship. I evaluated the influence of habitat at different scales (watershed, pond and micro-habitat) on the abundance and biomass of juvenile coho and other aquatic vertebrates. I used standard meta-analytic techniques to assess the umbrella species concept and found conservation strategies designed for umbrella species generally benefit co-occurring species. For the empirical studies, I sampled vertebrates in 17 restored ponds in three watersheds three times over a year. I sampled benthic invertebrates and algae once and documented habitat (e.g., depth, cover) at the pond and trap scale. Coho abundance and biomass, as well as that of other aquatic species, varied across ponds indicating a gradient in response to restoration. There was a positive relationship between species diversity and standing biomass, although that relationship was not consistent across taxonomic groups or with respect to habitat complexity. There was a relationship between watershed-scale habitat features (e.g., landcover, elevation) and the relative abundance and biomass of species present, however, different species responded similarly to micro-habitat types suggesting that watershed scale factors acted as a filter for community composition. This study demonstrated that valuable insight into restoration can be gained by studying patterns from a broad study of restored systems and that restoration designed around a single species can benefit other species.

Black clergy are taking to the pulpits and the streets nationwide this weekend in hopes of energizing black voters ahead of Election Day, aiming to make a difference in the presidential contest between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Many expect a drop in black voter participation this year, primarily because Barack Obama, the nation’s first African-American president, is not on the ballot. His historic candidacy in 2008 and re-election in 2012 helped to fuel record black turnout.
“Voting, for us, is both a spiritual and a political issue,” said Rev. William Barber, president of the North Carolina NAACP and architect of the Moral Monday Movement in North Carolina. Barber will be one of several clergy at the historic Riverside Church in New York City Sunday evening for a revival service to encourage voting on Tuesday.

Are you looking for a new laptop and wondering whether 64 GB suits your needs? Fortunately, you have landed at the right place!
RAM is one of the most essential components of a laptop’s hardware. The common belief is that the more RAM you have, the higher performance you’ll achieve on your computer. However, this is more than merely true! Undoubtedly, higher RAM impacts performance and speed, but it is limited to some extent. Otherwise, you don’t have to invest in a fancy device loaded with RAM even though your computing activities or gaming don’t demand this.
Different tasks require different TAM capacities. There is no clear answer to the question: How much RAM do I need that overkill? For instance, if you use your laptop to stream your favourite Netflix series and write Word documents all day, then 8 GB will do a fine job.
On the other hand, 64GB of RAM is typically helpful for high-end tasks that demand tons of processing power. These include heavy gaming, 4K video editing, 3D rendering, complex simulations, more considerable dataset analysis, or running multiple virtual machines.
In this blog post, we will discuss why it is worth upgrading to 64 GB RAM Laptop for you in 2023. So, let’s dive in!
What is RAM, exactly?
RAM stands for random access memory and is the most fundamental element of a laptop. It is a temporary storage room used by the laptop to store the information. It is faster than other storage components, such as SSD and HDDS, so it stores and retrieves data quickly and efficiently.
RAM is vital because it allows your laptop to run numerous applications and games simultaneously. When you open an application, its data is loaded into RAM. As a result, the program runs quickly and smoothly. So, if you have a larger RAM, you can open many applications and tasks without experiencing lag or slowdown.
Consider a laptop a workspace, with RAM as the desk space. The more desk space you have, the better you can organize and complete your activities, hence the more productivity you’ll achieve!
Why do you Need a 64 GB RAM Laptop?
64GB of RAM is best for people working on intensive tasks such as 3D rendering, AAA gaming, video editing, graphic design, and data analysis. Having this much RAM allows you to keep working on multiple tabs simultaneously without causing lags or slowing down. It also allows you to run more extensive programs for extended hours.
· Faster Speeds
If you have a 64 GB RAM laptop, it will allow you to store and process more significant amounts of data simultaneously, resulting in smoother multitasking and faster performance. It also increases the responsiveness of your laptop, which means there will be no lags when opening multiple files and apps.
· Improved Multitasking
64 GB RAM is a game-changer for professionals juggling numerous applications simultaneously. The laptop can handle it all smoothly, whether you are working on graphics tasks while listening to music in the background or running virtual machines on another window.
Futureproofing means your device remains relevant and can handle new technologies, software updates, and resource-intensive tasks for years. As the technological landscape is evolving daily, your device must be capable of handling the growing needs of software and applications. Here comes the need for a 64 GB RAM laptop. This much RAM ensures that your laptop remains efficient to meet the upcoming demands without compromising performance.
· Better Performance in Gaming
If you’re an avid gamer, having 64 GB of RAM can help you have a more thrilling gaming experience, mainly when playing contemporary graphics-intensive games such as Sim Racing, Returnal, Cyberpunk 2077, Star Citizen, and Call of Duty. It has the potential to reduce latency and loading times.

An optical IR-source and CO2-chamber system for CO2 measurements
2000 (English)In: Journal of microelectromechanical systems, ISSN 1057-7157, E-ISSN 1941-0158, Vol. 9, no 4, 509-516 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
A new silicon IR-source and CO2-chamber system for measurement of CO2 concentration is presented. The micromachined IR-source, which consists of four groups of polysilicon filaments coated with silicon nitride suspended across a KOH-etched cavity, is used to generate two switched sample and reference beams. The electrically modulated sources present a modulation time of 10 ms and a power consumption of 1 W. The CO2 chambers, placed beneath the reference sources, are used to produce a reference beam for long term stability and compensation against cuvette window contamination. They consist of 1-mm-deep micromachined cavities in which CO2 is encapsulated during an overpressure anodic bonding procedure. Silicon dioxide is used as an antireflective coating to optimize the filter's optical characteristics. Numerical simulations of the filters are presented and show good agreement with the measurements. The IR-sources and the CO2 filters are both fabricated at wafer level. Using the presented IR-sensor system, measurements with a 9-mm-wide test channel show high CO2-sensitivity for CO2 concentrations between 0 and 10% confirming that the stringent requirements for this respirator application can be fulfilled.

Thousands of Kurds demonstrated in the German city of Frankfurt against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Kurds make up more than 15 percent of the Turkish population but they have very limited rights.
Thousands of Kurds rallied against Turkey in Frankfurt. Turkey condemned the protest as a sign of Germany's support for "terrorism."
Opponents to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's planned referendum really do exist. They see it as a threat to democracy. Now more and more Turks living in German cities are campaigning against the referendum.
As German Chancellor Angela Merkel avoids further escalating the latest diplomatic row with Turkey, some MPs think German ministers should hit back harder. But would equally fiery rhetoric just play into Erdogan's hands?
Turkey has summoned Germany's ambassador to voice its anger over a Kurdish march in Frankfurt where many protesters carried symbols of the outlawed PKK. An Erdogan spokesman denounced the rally as a "scandal."

The Universal Champion Roman Reigns has been on a roll ever since his return to WWE earlier this year at SummerSlam. Currently, he is in the middle of a highly personal feud with his real-life cousin and one-half of The Usos, Jey Uso.
The two battled it out last month at WWE Clash of Champions with Roman Reigns retaining his title in a dominant fashion after Jimmy Uso made his way out and threw the towel to save his brother.
But the rivalry between the two is far from over as Jey Uso will be challenging Roman Reigns against at WWE Hell in a Cell. On tonight's WWE Draft special episode of Friday Night SmackDown, the Universal Champion announced a unique stipulation for his match against Jey Uso at WWE Hell in a Cell.
For the first-time ever, there will be an "I Quit" match inside Hell in a Cell.
Roman Reigns as the Universal Champion on SmackDown
Roman Reigns returned to WWE at SummerSlam earlier this year. A week later, he defeated "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman at WWE Payback to walk out as the new Universal Champion. His pairing with Paul Heyman is doing wonders on the Blue brand and the two look unstoppable at the moment.
At WWE Draft 2020, Roman Reigns became the overall second pick and the first pick for Friday Night SmackDown.

Poquette Reads Loeb Classics
Afegeix-te a LibraryThing per participar.
Aquest tema està marcat com "inactiu": L'últim missatge és de fa més de 90 dies. Podeu revifar-lo enviant una resposta.
Greetings! In this thread I shall report on my readings in the classics which are represented within the Loeb Classical Library.
The first question that needs to be resolved concerns what qualifies as a reading from Loeb. It turns out that there are quite a few books that are in Loeb but which I have read or will be reading in other editions. I am fluent in neither Greek nor Latin although I do have a nodding acquaintance with the latter. There are a number of reasons for choosing other editions, primarily because they may contain fuller notes, introductions, maps and other materials. The Landmark Herodotus comes to mind. I never would have finished the entire book without the wonderful resources provided there. The purist in me would like to limit credit exclusively to Loeb editions. But as a practical matter, and because I am not a scholar per se, I would like to be free to read whatever edition I choose, and use this forum to discuss classics that are represented within the Loeb universe.
At present I am the proud owner of three Loeb editions:
Theological Tractates. The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius
Loeb Classical Library Reader
The Learned Banqueters, I, Books 1-3.106e (Deipnosophists) by Athenaeus
I purchased the Boethius for The Consolation of Philosophy, which I love and own in several editions, because I wanted to see the original Latin. I don't recall how I happen to have the Loeb Classical Library Reader, but I am happy to have the smattering of materials from a variety of writers. The Athenaeus I just purchased because it sounded interesting.
A Loeb Classical Library Reader (2006) 234 pages
Anyone interested in exploring materials found in the Loeb Classical Library will profit from exposure to the excerpts in this volume. Here we have an introductory sampler of what the editors call "lapidary nuggets drawn from thirty-three of antiquity's major authors including poetry, dialogue, philosophical writing, history, descriptive reporting, satire and fiction — giving a glimpse at the wide range of arts and sciences, styles and convictions" of sixteen Greek and seventeen Roman writers in five or six pages each.
Until now I have leafed through the book a number of times to get a feel for the contents but have not made a determined effort to read because I usually have two or three other books in process. But the time has come.
These excerpts are short, and I will attempt to summarize each selection as I go. The Greek samples are first in chronological order followed by the Latin. The Loeb custom of Greek-English or Latin-English facing pages is followed in this reader.
HOMER, Odyssey 9.307-414
The first selection is from the Odyssey of Homer, and it is one of the most blood-thirsty passages from this otherwise rather tame epic wherein Odysseus describes how he blinds the Cyclops Polyphemus in order to escape from his cave. First he plies the Cyclops with wine until he falls into a drunken stupor:
Then it was I who thrust the stake under the deep ashes until it should grow hot, and heartened all my comrades with cheering words, so that no man might falter from fear. But when presently that stake of olivewood was about to catch fire, green though it was, and began to glow terribly, then it was I who brought it near from the fire, and my comrades stood round me and a god breathed into us great courage. They took the stake of olivewood, sharp at the point, and thrust it into his eye, while I, throwing my weight upon it from above, whirled it round, as a man bores a ship's timber with a drill, while those below keep it spinning with the strap, which they lay hold of by either end, and the drill runs unceasingly. Even so we took the fiery-pointed stake and whirled it around in his eye, and the blood flowed round it, all hot as it was. His eyelids above and below and his brows were all singed by the flame from the burning eyeball, and its roots crackled in the fire.And it goes on. I had forgotten how graphic this episode was because I more recently read the Iliad where carnage and brutality dominate the entire work. Still, you have to love the wonderful way Homer tells a story.
Zeus is angry because humans acquired fire with the help of Prometheus. In a tit-for-tat move, Zeus creates Pandora whose name means "all gift" because all the gods contributed something to her quiver of woes to be showered upon mankind. Before Pandora "the tribes of men used to live upon the earth entirely apart from evils and without grievous toil and distressful diseases which gave death to men."
PINDAR, Olympian Odes 10.43-106
A brief account of the first Olympic Games founded by Herakles, in verse translation.
SOPHOCLES, Antigone 404-485
Antigone is charged with defying the king Creon by giving her accused brother a decent burial.
EURIPIDES, Medea 764-865
Having received asylum in Athens, Medea plots revenge against unfaithful Jason. She is determined to kill her children while the Chorus begs her not to.
I just read a different account of Jason and Medea in Chaucer's Legend of Good Women.
HERODOTUS, Persian Wars 1.1-4
The opening passages of The Histories, which I just recently finished reading in the excellent Landmark edition, wherein the initial difficulties between Greeks and Persians — involving the theft of women in all cases and culminating in the Trojan War — are laid out as a preface to what will come.
THUCYDIDES, History of the Peloponnesian War 6.19.2-24.4
The general Nicias argues against attempting to invade Sicily, but the Athenians seem even more determined to do it.
I am hoping to read Thucydides before the end of the year. Time is running out!
Cuz I've heard occasionally that one should have such a thing at the ready, with old Thuc. But who knows. I forget where I read that.
* I kid, I kid. I am, after all, a former THEATRE SCHOLAR. Woo-hoo!
ARISTOPHANES, Lysistrata 90-154
Lysistrata tries to convince Athenian women to deny their husbands sex until the war with Sparta is over.
This translation is X-rated! Calling a spade a spade.
BTW, did you know Miletus was a notable exporter of dildoes? This bit of edification I learned from a footnote!
XENOPHON, Anabasis 3.1.2-10
Xenophon tells how he was persuaded under false pretenses — despite consulting with Socrates — to accompany the Greeks on their expedition against Cyrus (the Younger).
There is no footnote to specify that this is Cyrus the Younger. But I have to admit I was confused at first because I have just read about Cyrus (the Great) in Herodotus. Xenophon's style is much different from that of Herodotus. Interesting . . .
PLATO, Phaedo 3-5
On the day of his execution Socrates ironically speaks of the pleasure incurred by having his fetters removed. He is questioned about the poetry he wrote while in confinement, and he explains he composed it because of a recurring dream.
The Phaedo was the first dialogue I ever read when I was a teenager. I have a soft spot in my heart for Plato as a result.
Aristotle, Callimachus and Josephus coming soon . . .
Origins and early development of dramatic poetry and the relative merits of various meters.
CALLIMACHUS, Hymns 6.24-117
A hymn to Demeter in which a sacrilege is punished. Why this is called a "hymn" is beyond my understanding. Much lyricism (if indeed there is any in the original Greek) is evidently lost in this prose translation.
JOSEPHUS, Jewish War 7.280-303
Fascinating description of Masada and the construction of Herod's fortress palace on the heights thereof.
PLUTARCH, Brutus 4-6
Caesar was apparently a mentor to Brutus who, according to Plutarch, may have been his own son. This gives new meaning to the words, "Et tu, Brute!"
Lucian and Pausanias will finish off the Greek excerpts from this anthology.
The Odyssey, tr. by Robert Fitzgerald
The Iliad, tr. by Robert Fagles
The Landmark Herodotus
The Landmark Thucydides
Plato's Republic, tr. by Robin Waterfield
I am currently reading Plato's Gorgias, with Symposium and Timaeus not far behind. Not a Loeb in sight. I am so sorry.

Between autonomy and advanced infotainment systems, it’s abundantly clear how technology is impacting the automobile. But a lot of that is decidedly big-picture. What about the little things, like remembering where you parked?
As it turns out, Apple is reportedly working on a fix for that faux-pas. According to technology website Gizmodo, a screenshot of hidden assets within Apple’s upcoming iOS 8 reveal icons that keep tabs on the last location which users have parked their cars.
How exactly it works remains unclear — it could be integrated with Apple’s CarPlay infotainment system, or it could drop a pin each time the car is switched off and the phone is disconnected from the infotainment system. Or, Gizmodo speculates it could follow Google and automatically drop a pin whenever drivers exit their vehicles.
However it may work, one thing is certain — if Kramer had an iPhone with this feature, the Seinfeld crew probably would’ve avoided getting lost in a parking garage in that one episode.

Critics repeatedly cite the potentially short life-span of electric cars’ lithium ion batteries as the limiting factor in the life of the car. However, recent developments in battery technology have produced a lithium ion battery capable of lasting up to 180,000 miles with no significant deterioration. So depending on your annual mileage, your electric car could potentially last quite a long time–the average U.S. family drives 15000 miles a year.
This article (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6VH8-4HTBMB3-1&_user=4429&_coverDate=03%2F31%2F2006&_rdoc=1&_fmt=full&_orig=search&_cdi=6060&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_searchStrId=1024593846&_rerunOrigin=scholar.google&_acct=C000059602&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=4429&md5=dde7504ab430fbe0d3e76f192dfeefbf#SECX7) which studies the lifecycle costs of electric vehicles, assumed a 7.5 year battery life for plug in vehicles.
The battery swap program is amazing and you should really look into this. The program allows people to change there depleted batteries for new fully recharged batteries at a gas station type place. Better Place has actually created an automated, robot run system.
