This is the horrifying moment a woman pushes a three-year-old girl face first onto a train track, it is claimed.
The toddler was waiting for the train with her mum in Oregon, US, when the stranger allegedly shoved her onto the line.
Shocked bystanders sprang into action to help the little girl and rushed to lift her from the rails.
The youngster hit the rocks and metal track face-first, later suffering from a severe headache and a small red mark on her forehead.
A man, who was standing nearby, hauled her to the safety of the platform before the next train arrived.
Brianna Lace Workman, 32, was arrested and charged after the incident at Northeast Portland MAX station.
She is listed as homeless and living in Portland, according to court records.
The three-year-old girl was stood with her mum waiting for a train in Oregon, US The woman, sat behind the girl and her mum, allegedly pushed the toddler face first onto the tracks
Shocked bystanders rushed to save the little girl
District Attorney Mike Schmidt said: ‘A mother and child were waiting for a MAX train when Workman allegedly shoved the child, aged three, off of the platform and onto the MAX train tracks without provocation.
‘The child landed face-first onto the metal rail and rocks before being quickly rescued from the train tracks. The child reported a severe headache and had a small red mark on their forehead after the incident.
‘The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office has filed charges, including an offense for which Oregon law permits pretrial detention, and is requesting that Workman remain in custody and be held without bail.’

Nutramigen is designed for infants who experience fat malabsorption and who may also be sensitive to intact proteins. Fat malabsorption or steatorrhea may be associated with cystic fibrosis, short bowel syndrome, intractable diarrhea and severe protein calorie malnutrition.
Nutramigen is designed to provide a sole source of nutrition for infants up to age 6 months, and to provide a major source of nutrition through 12 months of age. Normally, in feeding infants, gradual introduction of solid foods after 4–6 months of age is an important developmental as well as nutritional step.
In cases of chronic malabsorption disorders, Nutramigen is sometimes continued as a milk substitute in the diet of children. This and similar supplemental use of Nutramigen in the diet beyond 12 months of age may make a significant contribution to the maintenance of good nutrition in such patients, and is not known to be harmful in any way. When Nutramigen is used as a milk substitute, the total calcium content of the diet should be assessed.
Extended use of Nutramigen (or other infant formulas) as a sole source of diet is most appropriately monitored by physicians and nutritionists on a case-by-case basis, with attention to developmental as well as nutritional implications of such a dietary regimen.
The baby’s health depends on carefully following these instructions. Proper hygiene, preparation, dilution, use and storage are important when preparing infant formula.
Discuss with parents whether they need to use cooled, boiled water for mixing and whether they need to boil clean utensils, bottles and nipples in water before use.
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before preparing formula.
Clean can lid, SHAKE CAN WELL, and open; or SHAKE BOTTLE WELL and remove cap and foil seal.
Pour desired amount of water into feeding bottle. Add an equal amount of concentrated liquid. SHAKE OR STIR WELL.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in severe harm. Opened cans and prepared formula can spoil quickly. Either feed immediately or cover and store in refrigerator at 35°–40°F (2°–4°C) for no longer than 48 hours. Do not use opened can and/or prepared formula if they are un refrigerated for more than a total of 2 hours. Do not freeze prepared formula. After feeding begins, use within 1 hour or discard.
Store unopened cans/bottles at room temperature. Avoid excessive heat. Do not freeze. Use by date on top of can or on bottle. Nutramigen does not look or taste like milk or soy formulas. It may separate in the refrigerator. Shake well before feeding.
CAUTION: Use product by date on container.
WARNING: Do not use a microwave oven to prepare or warm formula. Serious burns may result.
This product is not recommended for routine use in very low-birth-weight infants. Some of these infants may be at increased risk of developing gastrointestinal complications.
Nutramigen® contains milk and soy. Nutramigen is hypoallergenic. Rarely, however, allergic reactions to extensively hydrolyzed casein formulas have been reported.

Drake sold over 600,000 copies of ‘VIEWS’ on iTunes Over the Weekend
With the release of ‘VIEWS’ behind us, a massive amount of units were moved after Drake’s interview with Zane Lowe on OVO Sound radio commenced. An estimate of 600,000 albums were sold digitally via iTunes in its first 24 hours of availability, quickly on pace to outsell Beyonce’s ‘LEMONADE‘ project, which is retailed for $18 packaged with the short-film. Given the prediction of album sales within the first day of release, it’s shaping up to be Drake’s highest selling project to date, and will most likely eclipse his previous effort ‘Nothing Was The Same‘ in 2013, which sold 658,000 copies in its first week.
Drake has been evolving consistently with not only his work ethic musically, but diligently working to become a cultural icon within his home city of Toronto and a global titan. With records like ‘Weston Road Flows’, ‘Hype’ and ‘U With Me?’ being standout offerings off his 4th album, Drake’s ceiling is still no where in sight despite heavy pressure to deliver a classic. ‘VIEWS‘ commands a versatile sound ranging from Hip-Hop to the rhythm of dance-hall. The album cohesively molds different genres to produce a quality body of work for the music fanatics around the world. It also has a strong possibility to reach sales of one million given the RIAA’s new combination of streams with physical album sales. 600,000 in your first day of release may be indicative of what’s to come later on when the week ends. Stay tuned to BLEU for more info on ‘VIEWS’.

Industry Award 2015 for Excellence in Research and Innovation handed out to 15 makers
Compiled By KEN LIU
The biennial 2015 Taipei International Machine Tool Show (TIMTOS), held March 3-8 in the Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1 and Nangang Exhibition Hall, saw notable technologies as multitasking, robotic arms and Industry 4.0 that are touted as crucial to "Smart Manufacturing."
A forum on Smart Manufacturing at TIMTOS 2015 draws visitors.
In the forums held alongside this show, specialists forecast that Industry 4.0 to be the next battleground for global industrially advanced nations to combine robots, Internet of Things (IOT), and automated production lines. Also, smart factory developed on Industry 4.0 will gradually replace traditional production lines and provide Taiwan's manufacturing industry a chance to upgrade.
Robotics is core to Smart Manufacturing.
This year, jurors of the Taiwan Machine Tool Industry Award 2015 for Excellence in Research and Innovation held during the show chose 15 manufacturers who submitted 16 products out of 47 competitors with 49 entries as the winners, including Ching Hung Machinery & Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. (CHMER) and Hiwin Technologies Corp.
CHMER, reportedly Taiwan's No.1 and the world's No. 5 electric discharge machine (EDM) manufacturer, won the Supreme Excellence Award for its SP302L ultra-precision gantry-type oil wire EDM.
CHMER's SP302L wins the Supreme Excellence Award.
SP302L features the CHMER-developed patented linear-motion drive system, movable-gantry mechanism, energy-saving circuit design, precision temperature control, and online measurement system.
Linear-motion drive system is known for the advantage of minimizing mechanical wear and backlash usually seen in machines that use ball screws or other traditional means to drive linear guideway that carries worktable, hence upgrading processing precision.
The moveable gantry design allows SP3020L to be outfit with fixed worktable, thereby obviating the need for a movable worktable that usually needs ample space for movement that tend to compromise processing precision.
The Cool MOSFET device helps reduce 40 percent of electrical impedance, thereby effectively mitigating the heat inside the machine's electric box and saving 20 percent of electricity. Also, the field programmable gate array (FPGA) chip uses its 100-megahertz clock rate to optimize the machine's electrical discharge frequency, thereby boosting the machine's processing efficiency by 5-10 percent and reducing the chance of discharge wire breakage.
Special cooling system and thermo-insulation material limit the thermo-range of the machine's coolant container to minus and plus 0.3C and that of the machine's body to minus and plus 0.5C to ensure precision of the processing temperature.
The machine's accurate measurement of workpiece is attained by the online measurement system that uses contact probe to measure three points each on the workpiece's X, Y, and Z axis and the error compensation with B-axis machining.
This machine uses oil as coolant instead of water to minimize expansion-contraction on metal workpiece, which tends to be significant with water coolant.
In addition to the linear motion drive system, CHMER also has developed independently the controller and the rotary B-axis table.
The company targets promoting its equipment at aircraft builders who boast 90 percent self-content ratio, which is typically required by multinational manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus.
Aircraft Sector Recovering
A CHMER sales rep at the show pointed out that the international aircraft industry has recovered from the 2008 global economic meltdown due to increased orders for new airplanes worldwide. The recovery has motivated, he said, aircraft builders to increase outsourcing mostly from Asia, where economic growth has been relatively stronger than elsewhere and manufacturing cost is comparatively lower than in Europe and America.
Taiwan and Japan are their favorite contract suppliers because China is not as trustworthy. Compared with Japan, Taiwan offers more advantages in contract manufacturing due to more competitive cost, said the sales rep. His company has received considerable orders from Taiwan's contract manufacturers like Aerospace Industrial Development Corp. (AIDC), reportedly Taiwan's biggest aircraft-component maker.
EDM, the sales rep said, has more merits than any other type of machine tools in processing aircraft components as turbine blades that are made of nickel-based alloy. They usually build very small vents on these components, which can be only completed by melting instead of drilling or boring or other processing methods.
Award of Eminence
Hiwin, reportedly Taiwan's No.1 and the world's No.2 manufacturer of ball screws and linear guideways, won the Award of Eminence for its direct drive CNC tilting rotary tables, to have become one of the world's few manufacturers capable of making CNC tilting rotary table using direct-drive servo motor.
Hiwin's CNC tilting rotary table with direct-drive servo motor wins the Award of Excellence.
Compared with the worm-screw drive system, direct-drive servo motor can do much more precision work thanks to its gearless action. The AB-500 rotary table, for instance, boasts repeated accuracy of 0.036 arc-sec in rotating angle and 0.042 arc-sec in +/- 120-degree swing angle, with table rotating at 135 revolutions per minute (rpm).
At this show, Joen Lih Machinery Co., Ltd., a leading grinding-machine maker in Taiwan, exhibited a wide range of grinding machines equipped with hydraulic cylinder, precision ball screw, or linear motion drive system as the power driver of its guideway system.
The linear-motion drive surface grinding machine, JL-818ATD, was debuted at the show. According to its technician, linear-motion drive system is mostly integrated into high-end machines for excellent precision. "In short, you can say the system is the miniature version of maglev rail, generating no friction and therefore no vibration at all due to its contactless sliding action. So, the system achieves much higher precision on a machine than any other type of drive mechanism," he said.
Joen Lih's JL818ADT surface grinding machine uses linear motion drive.
Mostly thanks to linear motor, JL-818ATD boasts plus-and-minus 0.001 millimeter for each cycle of automatic up-down feed.
The JL-2025X is the company's first milling machine after diversifying from making only grinding machine. This is a high speed-spindle type for mold-making industry, boasting plus-and- minus 0.002 millimeter in repeated positioning accuracy.
Working with the Mechanical & Systems Research Laboratories (MSRL) of the government-backed Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), the company is reportedly the only Taiwanese grinding-machine maker that builds products for wafer-polishing for semiconductor industry.
Door-marked Operating Modes
Quick-Tech Machinery Co., Ltd., a member of the Tongtai Group, impressed buyers with not only advanced technology but also user-friendly functions by debuting a series of CNC turning-milling combos that come with 12 icons on tempered-glass doors indicating 12 operating modes, including conveying, lubricating, cooling, door, N.C. ready, CNC auto, and auto power-off.
Quick Tech's CNC turning-milling combo with 12 icons on tempered-glass door show 12 operating modes.
These icons are color coded into four categories of yellow, blue, green and red to indicate caution, normal, ready and alarm, respectively.
The door-marked indicators make it easy for operators to monitor several machines at once by easily seeing specific problems on the control monitor attached to each machine. The idea to display the operating status on the glass door came from head-up-display (HUD) technology.
According to managing director, Jacky Haung, technology should not be the only thing that generate value in machine tools. Making machines friendly to users is something that Taiwan's machine-tool makers can do besides technology to add value to their products.
The company's machines displayed at this show were mostly for heavy-duty cutting and cutting complex workpieces with multiple axes, dual cutting systems, an adjustable control panel, and a corded handheld control unit.
Multitasking CNC Machining Center
Union Mechatronic Inc. exhibited the horizontal multitasking CNC machining center HM-34X, featuring four spindles that move synchronously in the same direction to cut four workpieces.
The unorthodox design allows users to remove completed workpieces from the worktable while the spindles are still cutting other workpieces, making the machine more efficient. The company plans to equip this machine with a robotic arm to replace a human operator to remove workpieces.
This machine comes with a tool magazine holding 72 cutters, enabling this machine to bore, mill, drill, thread, or groove workpieces, and an automatic tool changer with a two-second tool-change cycle.
HM-34X is ideal for making parts used in automobiles, motorbikes, machinery, hydraulic systems, and plumbing systems.
According to the vice president, J.R. Ho, HM-34X is Taiwan's first horizontal CNC machining center with four spindles synchronously moving in the same direction. It is a challenging technology to achieve when you have to assure the four tools cutting on four separate workpieces are exactly the same in size and depth. She ascribed the company's success in developing this machine mostly to the management team, which is composed of machinery specialists with over 30 years of field experience.
Mechatronic's impressive track record also prompted Schaublin Machines SA of Switzerland to announce their strategic alliance at the show.
5-axis Milling-Turning Combo
Pinnacle Machine Tool Co., Ltd., a leading five-axis machine-tool maker founded in 1976 in central Taiwan, rolled out its first five-axis milling-turning combo, BX700T, at the show.
Pinnacle rolls out its first five-axis milling-turning combo, BX700T.
BX700T is also a synchronous-motion machine, with its +/-120 degree swing head, or B axis, driven by direct-drive motor and its rotary table, or C axis, turning at 1,200 revolutions per minute. The machine's repetitive error and positioning error for its X, Y and Z axes are plus and minus 0.003mm and plus and minus 0.005mm, respectively.
This machine's turning capability is achieved by using the Heidenhain TNC640 controller from Germany.
BX700T is suitable for making relatively large items with multi-asymmetric faces, such as turbine blades for aircraft and precision molds for electronic components.
Shenq Fang Yuan Technology Co., Ltd., a major machining-center maker in Taiwan founded in 1996, promoted the patented 5AX-890 five-axis machining center at the fair this year.
Shenq Fang Yuan's patented 5AX-890 five-axis machining center.
This machine is patented for its 24,000 rpm spindle that swings plus and minus 110 degrees in B axis and rotates plus and minus 225 degrees in C axis, being suitable for processing intricate products such as watch cases, jewelry, small and mid turbine blades, and tire molds for high-end cars.
Rigid column and one-piece base structure is responsible for this machine's 10 micron in repetitive positioning error.
According to general manager, Jimmy Huang, a veteran with 30 years of field experience in an 18-year-old firm, the company has many advantages over competitors including its in-house design and assembly, which enable the company to avoid underselling and dispute over product liability.
"Also our machines can be scaled up to workstation size in accordance with customer needs. And we can build automation for customers, and a notable feature is the automatic dial-up of pre-set phone numbers over the Internet when problems are identified but not yet solved," Huang said.
5-axis CNC Machining Centers
At this show, Campro Precision Machinery Co., Ltd., founded in 2003 to specialize in CNC machining centers, primarily promoted CNC five-axis machining centers for making car parts such as wheels or aircraft parts, and its capability to integrate robotic arms with individual CNC lathe and mill.
Campro's robotic manufacturing solution.
The combos for making car parts suggested the company's product emphasis has shifted towards auto and aircraft industries from electronics industry, which was previously the backbone application of its machines.
Its U500 five-axis machining center is a machine for aircraft and car industries. This machine is equipped with a built-in 12,000 rpm spindle, with A axis swing of plus 30 degrees to minus 120 degrees, and C axis rotating 360 degrees. Its tool traverses 36 meters, 36 meters and 30 meters in X, Y and Z axes, respectively.
The company's machines began integrated with robotic arms around four years ago in tune with customer demands. A sales rep at the show pointed out that manufacturers with huge production scale but less diversified products are more likely than smaller manufacturers with diversified lineups to adopt robotic production.
He noted that integrating robotic arms with machine is a growing trend in many industries and typically due to rising labor cost, and stated, "Integration is not difficult work for us since we've provided customers turnkey planning for many years. Usually their priority concerns in automation revolve around time, workpiece load and unload, and repetitive positioning precision."

Camper designed specifically for the go-anywhere EV
Carbon body integrated into Hummer chassis
The GMC Hummer EV just got a lot cooler and a lot more practical. High-end adventure camper company EarthCruiser has just launched a slide-in camper like no other, designed specifically for the EV.
EarthCruiser’s GMC Hummer EV starts with a carbon fibre house body that is fully integrated into the Hummer’s chassis. Then EarthCruiser fitted 605W of solar power to the roof and a whopping 6 kWh of 12V lithium battery cells. The pack gives the EarthCruiser Hummer the ability to power itself (including a fridge/freezer) for about seven days without the need to use the battery that powers the wheels.
The camper is insulated for all four seasons and includes a three-layer pop-up roof. It’s also loaded with 120V and 12V plugs, clever storage solutions, and a toilet that packs flat. All controlled from a 7-inch touchscreen as you lay in your full-sized bed.
In camping mode, the Hummer EV will be 117-inches tall to give it 80-inches of headroom at the entry point, and total height is 90-inches when the roof is down. The camper will come with locking utility hookupes, exterior recovery gear storage, an outdoor shower, and 13.5 gallons of fresh water capacity along with a 7-gallon grey water tank. Inside, it will have a sink and induction cooktop as well as dimmable cabin lights.
EarthCruiser and GMC are planning to sell the upfit camper starting next year. They’ll have more product availability info and pricing coming next year. Though GMC made the official product announcement, the company reminds you that it’s not part of the GMC warranty.


An on-chip system is presented with integrated architectures for digital microfluidic actuation and sensing. Localized actuation is brought about by a digital microfluidic multiplexer layout that overcomes the challenges of multi-microdrop interference, and complete two-dimensional motion is shown for microdrops on a 14×14 grid with minimized complexity by way of 14+14 inputs. At the same time, microdrop sensing is demonstrated in a folded-cavity design for enhanced optical intensity probing of internal fluid refractive indices. The heightened intensities from this on-chip refractometer are shown to have a linear response to the underlying fluid refractive index. An electro-dispensing technique is used to fabricate the folded-cavity optical architecture in a format that is tuned for the desired refractive index range and sensitivity. The overall lab-on-a-chip system is successful in integrating localized microdrop actuation and sensing.
A digital microfluidic architecture is introduced for micron-scale localized fluid actuation and in in-situ optical sensing.
Contemporary device integration challenges related to localization and device scalability are overcome through the
introduction of a bi-layered digital microfluidic multiplexer. Trinary inputs are applied through differential combinations
of voltage signals between upper (column) electrodes and lower (row) electrodes. The ultimate layout provides increased
scalability for massively parallel microfluidic actuation applications with a minimal number of inputs. The on-chip
sensing technique employed here incorporates a microlens in a folded-cavity arrangement (fabricated by a new voltage-tuned
polymer electro-dispensing technique). Such a geometry heightens the sensitivity between the optical probe and
fluid refractive properties and allows the device to probe the refractive index of the internal fluid. This optical
refractometry sensing technique is merged with the actuation capabilities of the digital microfluidic multiplexer on a
single lab-on-a-chip device.

Effect of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation According to the Stimulation Site in Stroke Patients With Dysphagia Jong Hwa Lee, MD, Sang Beom Kim, MD, Kyeong Woo Lee, MD, Sook Joung Lee, MD, Jae Uk Lee, MD Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Regional Cardiocerebrovascular Center, Dong-A University College of Medicine, Busan, Korea
Objective To investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) according to the stimulation site in subacute stroke patients with dysphagia. Methods This study was designed as a matched comparative study. Twenty-four patients who had dysphagia after ischemic stroke were recruited, and they were divided into two groups after matching for age and stroke lesion. The patients in group A received rTMS over the brain cortex where motor evoked potential (MEP) was obtained from the suprahyoid muscle. Group B received rTMS over the brain cortex where MEP was obtained from the abductor pollicis brevis muscle. rTMS was performed at 110% of MEP threshold, 10 Hz frequency for 10 seconds, and then repeated every minute for 10 minutes. Dysphagia status was measured by the Functional Dysphagia Scale (FDS), the Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS), and the Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale (DOSS) using the results of a videofluoroscopic swallowing study. These evaluations were measured before, immediately, and 4 weeks after rTMS. Results Group A showed significant improvement compared to group B in the DOSS score immediately and 4 weeks after rTMS. There were no significant differences in the changes of FDS and PAS scores between groups A and B immediately and 4 weeks after rTMS. Conclusion rTMS over a hot spot for the suprahyoid muscle caused more improvement in swallowing function when compared to that over the interconnected site.

Dysphagia is a major complication that occurs in 37%– 78% of stroke patients . Typical complications of dysphagia include dehydration and malnutrition, aspiration pneumonia, and asphyxia, which can lead to death. Therefore, proper treatment after early diagnosis is critical [2-5]. Current dysphagia treatment goals include
Effect of rTMS on Dysphagia According to the Stimulation Site preventing aspiration through changes in food and water protocols, compensatory techniques, and rehabilitative exercise . Reorganization in the swallowing cortical area occurs after a stroke, which is known to be related to recovery from dysphagia. Noninvasive brain stimulation techniques are expected to change brain plasticity during recovery from poststroke dysphagia . Studies using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation reported the role of noninvasive brain stimulation techniques in dysphagia recovery. Recent studies confirmed the positive effects of rTMS in treating dysphagia . Khedr et al.  and Khedr and Abo-Elfetoh  applied rTMS over the esophageal cortical area of the affected hemisphere in acute dysphagic stroke patients for 2 months, and improvements in dysphagia and motor disability were observed. Verin and Lerio  applied rTMS over the mylohyoid cortical area of the healthy hemisphere in patients with chronic post-stroke dysphagia and detected improvements in swallowing coordination and a decrease in the aspiration score for liquids. In previous studies, rTMS was performed mostly over the cortical lesions of the swallowing muscle, from which improvements of dysphagia were observed. However, an increasing number of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have implicated multiple regions of the cerebral cortex and subcortex in the process of swallowing [12-15]. Bestmann et al.  showed that right-hand finger tapping led to pronounced activation in bilateral M1/S1 and supplementary motor area (SMA) lesion, which are also activated during in voluntary swallowing. This indicates that there is a possibility of interconnection between both cortical areas. In a review of studies on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and fMRI, Reithler et al.  showed that TMS over a particular cortical site not only results in focal effects but also affects other brain regions. Furthermore, there is evidence that rTMS modulates remote areas in actual clinical settings. Triggs et al.  performed rTMS over the left prefrontal area and observed clinical improvements in depressed mood; they concluded that left prefrontal rTMS is capable of modulating not only the corticospinal motor system but also the orbitofrontal limbic structures, i.e., brain activities in remote areas. A number of studies indicate that rTMS is a good treatment option for post-stroke patients. However, to the best
of our knowledge, none of the studies have compared the clinical effects of rTMS applied directly over the swallowing-related cortex and the interconnected sites in poststroke dysphagia patients. Hence, in this study, we categorized subacute stroke patients with dysphagia who underwent rTMS over specific sites of dysphagia and the interconnected site by stimulation of the cortex representing the motor hand area. Treatments were administered, after which their efficacies were compared.
MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects This was a comparative study using age- and stroke lesion-matched patients. This study included subacute stroke patients with dysphagia who were admitted to our hospital between January 2012 and July 2013. The patients were divided into two groups according to the stimulation site: group A underwent stimulation of the cortex representing the suprahyoid muscle of the affected side, while group B underwent stimulation of the cortex representing the abductor pollicis brevis (APB) of the affected side. The inclusion criteria were 1) dysphagia after subacute ischemic stroke and 2) disease localized to a unilateral cerebral hemisphere (as documented by computed tomography or MRI). Exclusion criteria were 1) cerebral hemorrhage disease (arteriovenous malformation, intracortical hemorrhage, or subarachnoid hemorrhage); 2) bilateral cerebrovascular disease; 3) prior history of stroke; 4) swallowing difficulties unrelated to stroke; 5) inability to undergo a videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) assessment due to lack of cooperation; 6) contraindication for rTMS (seizure history, implanted pacemaker or medication pump, metal plate in the skull, or metal objects in the eye or skull); and 7) craniectomy state. The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Dong-A University Hospital, and all participants provided written informed consent. Intervention Before the rTMS, motor evoked potentials (MEPs) were evaluated using a MagPro (MagVenture Inc., Farum, Denmark). Subjects were seated comfortably in an armchair. The point of intersection between the midsagittal
Jong Hwa Lee, et al. line that connects the nasion and inion and the interaural line was designated as Cz. Cz was designated the origin (0, 0); the interaural line was designated the x-axis; and the midsagittal line was designated the y-axis. Fabric, with markings at 2.5-cm increments with Cz at the center, was fixed to the scalp. Magnetic stimulation was performed using a figure-of-eight coil (diameter, 2 mm×96 mm). The target muscle in group A was the suprahyoid muscle of the affected side, while that in group B was the APB muscle of the affected side. Similar to previous studies [19,20], for the suprahyoid muscle, an active electrode was attached 2 cm lateral to the midline of the lower chin and the reference electrode was attached to the mandibular angle (Fig. 1). The motor threshold was defined as the minimal stimulus intensity required to produce MEP >50 μV peak-to-peak amplitude in five of ten consecutive trials on each muscle. The location yielding the largest response amplitude was termed the ‘hot spot’, and we delivered magnetic stimulation to that point. The magnetic instrument was used to deliver stimulatory trains using the figure-eight coil. rTMS was performed on the ipsilesional hemisphere hot spot at 110% of each MEP threshold, at 10 Hz, for 10 seconds, and repeated every minute for 10 minutes in each group (total, 1,000 pulses). rTMS was performed once per day for 10 minutes on 10 consecutive days (five times per week for 2 weeks).
All patients received the same amount of swallowing training comprised of oral and facial sensory training, oral and pharyngeal muscle training, compensatory techniques, neuromuscular electrical stimulation on pharyngeal muscles during rTMS, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. Evaluation To evaluate the degree of improvement in dysphagia, the Functional Dysphagia Scale (FDS), the PenetrationAspiration Scale (PAS), and the Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale (DOSS) were measured based on the VFSS results. FDS provides information on the oral and pharyngeal phases that can be used for quantifying dysphagia severity . PAS evaluates whether the material passes through the airway during VFSS  (in this study, PAS for fluids was measured). DOSS documents the functional outcome of swallowing and reflects the diet status based on the objective assessment . These scales were evaluated before, immediately, and 4 weeks after rTMS. VFSS was performed along with evaluations by three experienced physiatrists. To compare the cognition and functional ability among patients in each group, the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) and Korean version of the Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI) tests were conducted before, immediately after rTMS, and 4 weeks after rTMS.
Fig. 1. Stimulation sites included the following: for group A, to stimulate a specific dysphagia site, a hot spot was obtained from motor evoked potentials (MEP) of the suprahyoid muscle (A); for group B, to stimulate an interconnected remote site related to dysphagia, a hot spot was obtained from MEP of the abductor pollicis brevis muscle (B).
Effect of rTMS on Dysphagia According to the Stimulation Site Data analysis Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) test and Mann-Whitney U-test were used to compare and
analyze the effect of rTMS according to the stimulation site. All analyses were performed with the SPSS ver. 12.0.1 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). The level of significance

Berlin, 14 March 2019 – At the SENSOR+TEST trade show in Nuremberg, Germany, imc Test & Measurement GmbH will present imc CRONOS-XT, the world's first highly dynamic measurement system that is both modularly clickable and waterproof. A new modular technology allows the base unit and measurement modules to be connected without tools and cables to form a complete system without sacrificing protection. The robust housing and the flexibility to choose from a variety of modules make the imc CRONOS-XT the ideal measurement system for demanding tests on vehicles, agricultural machinery and engineering applications.
With a protection class of IP67, the devices are protected against water and dust. In combination with the particularly high shock resistance and MIL specification, the systems are also suitable for use under the toughest conditions.
“In 2011, we launched imc CRONOSflex, the first completely modular measurement system on the market that can be clicked together without tools or cables. It was an immediate success. Today, our customers use the systems for almost all mobile and stationary testing applications – the only exception being that it can’t get wet and dirty. With imc CRONOS-XT, we now want to close this gap,” says Ralf Winkelmann, Head of Development at imc, on the development of the new device series.
In spite of its robustness, imc CRONOS-XT is designed as a flexible modular system. It consists of a base unit, measurement modules and handles that can be connected to each other without tools or cables via a robust click-mechanism. Users can reassemble their measurement system for each measurement task in just a few minutes. High-precision modules with universal measurement amplifiers cover almost all sensor types including strain gauges, bridges, thermocouples, resistance thermometers (PT100/1000), pressure, displacement and accelerometers. In addition to analog measurement amplifiers, digital inputs and outputs as well as pulse counter inputs for incremental encoders are available. The direct integration of various field and vehicle buses such as CAN, CAN FD and LIN makes the systems particularly versatile.
Depending on the type and number of measurement modules selected, analog channels can be recorded with 100 kHz and aggregate data rates of 2 MSps/s. This can also include hundreds of live-decoded field bus channels. imc CRONOS-XT operates autarkic and can acquire the data without PC support, calculate them online, store them and make them available via web server. The integrated real-time platform with online analysis functions delivers ready-to-use results during the measurement: whether FFT, power or class counting.
Cascaded system topologies can be operated for multi-channel applications with up to 10,000 channels or for a spatially distributed and decentralized setup. Network interfaces are used for connecting to each other as well as to the company network or the internet. An integrated web server enables convenient remote access via tablet or smartphone. Using a self-configurable web interface, users can remotely monitor characteristic curves and online analyses.
Configuration, operation and live visualization are conveniently performed via the imc STUDIO measurement software on the PC. In addition to fast configuration, users can create their own displays and user interfaces that are perfectly tailored to their needs.


Mahindra is all set to launch the XUV300 Facelift in India in the coming weeks as it is currently undergoing its final tests. This updated XUV300 will be the brand’s second attempt to compete in the highly demanded and competitive Compact SUV segment which includes famous contenders like the Sonet, Venue, Brezza and Nexon.
XUV300 Facelift Enters Final Testings
The Facelifted XUV300 will get a major overhaul in terms of design to stay relevant compared to its rivals who have received their share of updates like Nexon, Sonet and Venue. As seen in the spy shots, the SUV will get a more angular nose along with newly designed drop-down LED DRLs and headlights. It will also get a refreshed bumper and will now feature a new two-part grille with a large central air intake.
Coming to the back, the updated SUV now gets an all-new tailgate design with a full-width LED light bar. The back design is further refreshed with the new sleeker C-shaped tail lamps. The registration plate’s position also goes lower from the tailgate to the bumper.
The side profile however will likely retain the same design except for the new design for alloy wheels. Although camouflaged, it’s evident that the XUV300 Facelift’s styling has been somewhat borrowed from Mahindra’s BE range of SUVs, which are scheduled for launch in 2025.
Once you hop into the XUV300 facelift’s cabin, expect to see some new design elements and features which are borrowed from the newly updated XUV400 EV. The dashboard has been revised and houses twin 10.25-inch displays along with other features such as rear AC vents, a 360-degree camera, cooled seats and other new features which are also added on the 2024 XUV400 will also likely make an appearance on the new XUV300.
Powering will the new XUV300 will be the same engine options as the existing ones which are the 1.2-litre turbo petrol, 1.5-litre diesel and the 1.2-litre direct injection turbo petrol. The facelift also introduces an Aisin-sourced 6-speed automatic transmission with the most powerful 131 hp, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol mill. The same unit is also used in the Skoda Kushaq, Skoda Slavia, VW Taigun and VW Virtus. The other two engines will carry on with the 6-speed manual and AT options. All the units have already received emission-related upgrades for the BS6 Stage II norms.
The XUV300 facelift will also get an EV powertrain option soon that will be placed below the XUV400 EV and will rival the Nexon EV, similar to their ICE counterparts. The EV SUV will on sale by June 2024.

Mct Oil Weight Gain And Key Nutrition Tips To Transform Your Body And MindProper nutrition is critical to living a healthy, long life. A healthy diet will strengthen your muscles, your bones and your skin and will decrease your risks of developing certain health difficulties. Try these ideas for nutrition for your whole body's benefit.
Substitute whole wheat for white flour products. Whole grain foods have a higher content of fiber and protein, than those products which are more processed and bleached. Whole grains still leave you feeling satisfied and also lower your cholesterol. Scan the ingredients listed on the label and make sure that "whole-grain" is listed prominently.
Get your protein from a variety of sources. You can find protein from many other sources. , and soy products are all high in protein.Seafood and nuts Many of these are versatile enough to be used as either additives to dishes or as the main course. Include different kinds of protein in your diet to ensure that meals and snacks stay exciting.
It's important to get fiber. You will feel less hungry by eating enough fiber. It also helps to lower blood cholesterol. You can even reduce your risk ofcancer and diabetes, and heart disease.
Eating oatmeal in the morning will start your day off right. The grains found in oats fill up your stomach and make you feel full for longer.
Want to lose weight and be healthier? You need to be sure your digestive system is working as it should if so. You should drink enough water, eat enough fiber every day, and get a couple servings of probiotics, such as in yogurt.
One fantastic tip that can help with your nutrition is to use an artificial sweetener. If you consume too much sugar during the day, heart and physical issues can materialize. Instead, substitute artificial sweetners like Stevia or Splenda. You won't be able to tell the difference.
Make sure you eat a variety foods like fish, seeds and nutsseeds and vegetables, and fruit. This makes sure you get the essential nutrients without purchasing supplements.
Add inulin to make your diet nutritious. It's found in artichokes, garlic and leeks. It's a carbohydrate that will help digestive health as well as lose weight. Garlic also aids the immune system. Blanch the garlic to reduce the odor or take a supplement.
Don't eat too many foods that require the use of a microwave, since most of them are not good for you. You want to eat all-natural foods as often as possible when wanting to improve your health and lose weight.
If you're cooking vegetables in oil, you're not doing your body any favors. Prepare them in water and you'll be preserving more of their nutritional value. Using this technique can result in tasty vegetables. If you insist on using oil, put a small amount of vegetable oil rather than margarine or butter.
This will prevent you from going out at the last minute and buying fast food. You will have a variety of meal ideas ready at a moment's notice, so boredom is not a problem.
Smell the sweet scent of apples, peppermint and bananas. The scent of these foods suppress your appetite. There are many who trust that the odor from these foods can fool the body and make it think food is being eaten. Keeping your appetite at bay can help you avoid unwise eating choices.
Beets are a great addition to any nutritional plan. Fresh beets are full of fiber and essential nutrients, but canned include too much salt. Try to steam your beet greens or incorporate beetroot in a salad.
It is important to keep yourself fed. Undereating is just as harmful as overeating. You can let your insulin levels drop too low with not eating enough, and that just leaves you with the bad combination of craving and hunger sweets. Make sure to eat about five or six times a day for optimum nutritional health.
Getting proper nutrition doesn't have to be complicated, as was shown in the above article. Whatever questions you need to ask or research about nutrition are worth the effort so you can have a more healthy life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dC07AKODsk , like that found above, can help you make smart food choices.

“I’ve always been focused on doing my own thing,” he said.
With a wife and three children, Castagna keeps his day job working at a shipyard in New Jersey where he maintains healthcare to cover his family. He drives from his job to his 150-square-foot brewery in Queens that has been churning out beer since September of 2012.
“It’s a small space,” he said. “The brewery is pretty much a single-man operation.”
The only other employee at the brewery is his wife, who helps him with the paperwork.
Bridge and Tunnel beer is available at area bars and even a few restaurants. With just over 20 clients, Castagna said he wants to grow, but has to maintain a balance between his day job and the brewery.
“I want it to play a larger role in my life but I have to balance it with my full-time job,” he said. “But I’m definitely not letting go of this.”
Growing up a Queens resident, Castagna said he was tired of hearing the term “bridge and tunnel” associated negatively with people who live in the outer boroughs.
“I wanted to spin it in a positive way,” he said. “I’m subtly suggesting that bridges and tunnels unite the city and do not divide it.”
With ten different styles, including milk and oatmeal stout, hazelnut brown ale and even a chipotle beer, being brewed in his 48-gallon kit, Castagna is excited to see what the future has in store.
“This was a dream for me,” he said. “This is what I’m doing now and it feels good.”

U.S – Pulsed Light (PL) technology might soon be the ‘in thing’ in the food industry as a technique of inactivating microbial contaminants, after a study by Penn State University researchers proved its efficacy.
The study which was supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) tested the efficacy of pulsed light against various microbes, including pathogens and fungi.
Microbes such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus (vegetative cells and endospores), Aspergillus niger spores, and Penicillium roqueforti spores, were treated using three different broad-spectrum xenon gas flashlamps for up to 15 pulses.
Additionally, E. coli samples were treated with different filters applied to the pulsed light. Images of cell damage suggest that microbial sensitivity to pulsed light treatment differs for species, and that the majority of cell damage caused by the technique can be attributed to the UV portion of the light spectrum.
For two decades, members of the research team have studied pulsed light technology for food safety applications, reports Food Safety Magazine.
The lab has tested the technique against fruits, seeds, grains, cheese, milk, apple juice, and poultry products. The team has also simulated commercial production conditions to test the technology on eggs.
PL technology is a non-thermal technology, where sterilization and decontamination of food are achieved by impinging high-intensity light pulses on surfaces of foods and high-transmission liquids for a short duration of time.
The spectrum of light is typically between 200 and 1100 nm and includes UV, visible and infrared components, according to Campden BRI. The product is typically exposed to 1-20 pulses having an energy density in the range of 0.01 – 50 J.cm–2 at the surface.
The Pen State University researchers however point out that PL is not to be confused with continuous light. Continuous, low-intensity UV treatment has been used for antimicrobial purposes in the food industry since the 1960s.
Pulsed Light differs from continuous light in that it delivers a higher intensity of light, which results in greater microbial reduction in a shorter period of time. The team’s technique is designed to be deployed on a food conveyor and treat passing foods.
The team expresses their hopes that pulsed light technology will be widely adopted by the food industry, as the method has strong food safety potential.
In addition to its food safety benefits, research has shown that many food products are enhanced by exposure to Pulsed Light, says New Food.
For example, exposing mushrooms to Pulsed Light results in Vitamin D values that exceed the recommended daily allowance as determined by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council. Moreover, many foods’ shelf lives are extended through Pulsed Light treatment.

Ford EVs on the Volkswagen MEB platform?
Volkswagen Group and Ford may kind a improvement and manufacturing alliance that might strengthen the competitiveness of each producers, a minimum of in sure market segments.
Media speculates that moreover areas like gentle industrial automobiles (into account a minimum of since June), VW and Ford may companion in EVs, which lately haven’t been the strongest level of Ford. Volkswagen may share its MEB platform, scheduled for late 2019, with Ford for a revenue whereas Ford would be capable to produce all-electric vehicles with decrease funding prices.
Volkswagen CFO Frank Witter mentioned VW intends to be way more open to partnerships and, when requested about sharing MEB with Ford, he didn’t exclude such a chance.
“Whether or not we would present entry to different manufacturers exterior of the VW Group is theoretically potential, however there isn’t any choice,”
Volkswagen most likely will probably be open to partnering with different corporations on autonomous driving, too.

Based on how this MLB season has played out, the fact that the Cubs and Indians are facing each other in the World Series isn’t the most shocking thing. But when it comes to MLB stereotypes and historical implications, this is probably the most unlikely World Series ever.
The Cubs haven’t won the World Series since 1908, and haven’t appeared in it since 1945. There’s the Curse of the Billy Goat, and Steve Bartman, and the fact that no one currently living on Earth has seen the Cubs win the World Series.
The Indians main issue is the fact that they play in Cleveland, by far the worst sports city in America until June. Its probably still top five, but think about this: The Indians are four wins away from giving Cleveland it’s second championship in four months. This is a city that hadn’t won a thing since 1964! It really could be the Year of Cleveland.
But it could also be the year the Cubs actually do it. Cubs fans are shifting their mindset from “It might happen.” to “Its actually happening.”
There’s a lot at stake here for both cities involved. But what about the teams?
I’ve picked against the Indians all postseason. The matchups versus Boston and Toronto just didn’t seem like good ones for this banged up Indians team. But they’ve been resilient. They’ve fought through injuries to their rotation, which is now starting to improve. Cleveland getting this far has allowed Danny Salazar to return to the rotation. Thats huge, and also means that Ryan Merritt or whoever he was doesn’t have to face this brutal Cubs lineup.
Corey Kluber pitched well for the most part in the ALCS, but even with his struggles, he’s someone who you can trust in a big game. Josh Tomlin has been money this postseason, and man, that Game 2 performance was incredible. I don’t know how Trevor Bauer’s finger is, but Salazar joining the rotation is a very nice backup plan incase he can’t pitch. And by the way, Toronto really blew that game.
Ryan Merritt’s performance was great, but the benefit of having Andrew Miller saved the Indians in the clinching game. He’s a huge X-Factor in this series for the Indians, because while the Indians rotation is good (Yes, I’ll admit it), they’re going to struggle against the Cubs lineup. If Clayton Kershaw can, then anyone in the Indians’ rotation can.
The Cubs are stacked. They have been all year. And now, they’re getting a nice surprise as Kyle Schwarber is going the World Series roster as a DH. Have fun with that, Cleveland.
The lineup struggled against Rich Hill and Clayton Kershaw though. Sure, Kershaw kinda melted down in Game 6. But I don’t blame that totally on him. The Dodgers as a team just don’t do positive things in the playoffs. We’ve seen this take place since 2010. Andrew Toles had one of those moments in Game 6, dropping an easy catch in left field. So yeah, while Kershaw didn’t pitch well, but the Dodgers, whether it was their play or bad luck, didn’t help him out at all.
The guy Chicago really struggled with was Rich Hill. He didn’t give up any runs in his Game 3 outing, and that curveball left the Cubs stumped.
However, I don’t think the Cubs will struggle this series. Cleveland has Corey Kluber as the one guy who has great stuff. The Dodgers had two guys with great stuff. Thats a very traditional thing to say, but when you have a lineup this good, it doesn’t really matter.
Thats why Andrew Miller is so important in this series. If the Indians rotation struggles, then Miller at least provides something to fall back on, even if you’re down.
The only problem would be getting back in it.
The Cubs have two aces in Jake Arrieta and Kyle Hendricks, and two guys who’d be No.2 and No.3 starters anywhere else. The Indians need big, clutch hits in this series. Francisco Lindor is probably the most likely candidate. Mike Napoli could hit a big home run here or there, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Jose Ramirez did something clutch, because this is the Year of Him. Lonnie Chisenhall is threat, but only if the bases are loaded.
So yeah, the Indians have the ability to score. But against this pitching staff, it will be hard to score every single night.
This World Series is gonna be a beautiful victory for one and devastating loss for the other. Both cities deserve this. But the Cubs suffering has been going on much longer than Cleveland’s. And the Cubs have been the best team we’ve seen in years. And everyone has known since the beginning of the year that this Cubs team belonged here. Its destiny. And unfortunately for the Indians, it seems too improbable that Cleveland can have this good of a year. Maybe LeBron needs to take a couple at-bats.
Prediction: Cubs in 5


Video: How Tiny Formula 1 Engines Make 1000 HP
The power units in Formula 1 are capable of producing 1,000 horsepower! That’s all thanks to a 1.6L 90º V6 engine paired with two electric motors, an MGU-K (Motor Generator Unit – Kinetic) and an MGU-H (Motor Generator Unit – Heat). How does such a tiny engine make so much power? The key comes down to efficiency, turbocharging, high RPM limits, and electric assist. This video explores the layout of current Formula 1 power units, how the rules ultimately limit power through fuel flow caps, how these engines are capable of achieving extraordinary efficiencies (for combustion engines), and how much boost the turbochargers are making.

Ghost stories have been around for thousands of years. The Assyrians wrote them down from around 3,000 BCE (that’s over 5,000 years ago) but spoken versions were probably much older. Shakespeare was a fan of a phantom or two, and featured them in at least six of his plays. How do you write a truly frightful ghost story? When it comes to creating the perfect terrifying tale (or any story for that matter), think POLICE.
Police? I thought they were just for crimes and stuff. Ed
It’s an ACRONYM, just keep reading and all will become clear.
Planning your story is essential; the good news is you’re already doing it. Brainstorm ideas, think about your structure and how each element will link together. Make a list of bullet points or draw little doodles for each of your plot points. Plans may change as your story develops and that’s fine! Early plotting will help set the pace, so you’ll be able to avoid frustration later on.
A brilliant beginning is essential. Set the stage early in the reader’s mind. It can be useful to start with something big and noisy happening and a conversation between your main characters about that big and noisy thing that has just happened. Show us as much as you can about you main characters in those first three or four sentences. Alternatively, try setting the tone with some mysterious questions that need answering.
‘BANG!’ The door to the cellar flung open. ‘What in the world?’ said Crystal, already heading towards the stairs. ‘I think we should leave whatever it is, alone!’, answered Billy, his eyes wide and watery.
No one knew why the lake turned black that summer. Or, if they knew, they certainly wouldn’t say.
The scariest things often dwell in dark, barely seen spaces so you might choose to keep the details of certain locations vague. Consider places like ruined buildings, graveyards, forgotten castles, remote log cabins or old research facilities. Natural locations can be excellent too, like caves, cliffs, forests and large bodies of open water. Think about places that make you feel ever so slightly nervous, and base your story there. Deserted fairgrounds, deep dark woodland, abandoned supermarkets are all good. Or, if you want to, why not take a typically bright and cheerful location and use little unsettling details to make it scary!
In order for any story to work, something needs to happen. Your characters need a problem to grapple with. Readers tend to be most scared of things they can’t see, so ramp up the anticipation and foreboding. The quick glimpse, the fleeting shadow, the slight footfall, the soft sigh/whisper, the creaking door or the distorted reflection are much creepier than wails, screams and shrieks. In Herman Melville’s classic seafaring adventure Moby Dick, the big white whale, the focus of so much angst, finally surfaces as late as chapter 133! Sometimes events might happen in short sentences at breakneck speed, while other parts of the narrative can become more serpentine and develop more slowly. Varying the pace keeps your audience hooked on the story.
In order to shine, your characters need to be in conflict with one another, so create them with this in mind. You might have a town planner for a main character, who is haunted by the owner of an old building he intends to tear down. What about a dentist that is haunted by all the teeth she’s pulled out (bit weird, Ed), or a pupil who’s visited by the ghost of an old teacher? The possibilities are endless. What are your characters’ motivations and do they have a relevant ‘back story’? Use characters to blend fun thrills with deep-seated worries. Engage the reader and make them empathise with the character. Help them to feel what others are feeling.
Top tip: Not all characters have to be likable. In fact, it’s essential they are flawed because so are we. Make sure none of your protagonists behave perfectly or predictably.
Your story does not need to be neatly wrapped up, as long as it lingers in the mind. Try ending on a question for example, or leaving one little detail unanswered. The central character may return to ordinary life but be massively changed by their ghostly experience. Maybe you want to create a suspenseful ‘cliff-hanger’, or a sudden end may leave the reader shocked or surprised. An implied ending may offer several different interpretations. Alternatively you might offer ‘a crystal ball’ situation, where the reader is left to fathom out what might happen in the future. Remember though, offering too much explanation at the end of a story can lessen its impact.

Groundwater storage is an important water management solution that is overlooked by several countries worldwide. This paper evaluates the potential for storing water in the Bananal sedimentary basin and proposes the construction of canals to reduce sediment obstructions in the river flow and harmful flood events. This would allow for better control of the water level. The water stored in the sedimentary basin can be used as a climate change adaptation measure to ensure that the level of the flood plain is maintained high during a drought or low during an intense flood event. Additionally, the flood plain will function as a water reservoir, regulate the river flow downstream from the flood plain, and enhance hydropower generation. A significantly smaller reservoir area is expected to store water, as the water will be stored as groundwater in the sedimentary basin. Results show that the Bananal basin has the potential to store up to 49 km3 of water, which can add up to 11.7 TWh of energy storage to the Brazilian energy matrix for a CAPEX energy storage cost of 0.095 USD/kWh. This is an interesting solution for the Araguaia basin and several other basins worldwide.

U.S. Postal Service
The U.S. Postal Service continues to look for ways to cut costs these days. One of their options is changing the way in which many people get their mail.
The financially struggling U.S. Postal Service said Wednesday it will stop delivering mail on Saturdays but continue to disburse packages six days a week, an apparent end-run around an unaccommodating Congress.
Dr. Andrew Shankman, associate professor of history at Rutgers-Camden, says the US Postal Service isn’t making the revenue it used to make.
A sea of red ink is forcing the U.S. Postal Service to shut the doors on three local postal stations in April.

A Musical Dessert at a Connecticut Class (Mar 10, 2013)Friend Laura did not “sing for her supper” at our Gourmet Galley Catering cooking class in Connecticut but she sang for her dessert (sort of).
While finalizing all with host Mary for the class at daughter Anna’s catering kitchen, I proposed inviting Connecticut friend and opera singer, Laura, to add an Italian musical note as a surprise for the students. Both Anna and Mary were enthused – and so were the students when Laura topped off our Italian feast by bringing us to Italy through her bellissime songs.
Anna’s catering kitchen at Gourmet Galley was an ideal venue – with cooking space, utensils, stoves in abundance and Anna and her mother Mary so attentive to preparation and to the needs of each cook during slicing, dicing, chopping and mixing. Their enthusiasm comes through in the photos below – and in their comments, too. Thanks for good cooking and wonderful to get to know you as you shared your own stories around the table. Laura, your “musical topping” on our tiramisu was an unforgettable highlight! Mille grazie!
“This was the best! Thank you for arranging to be with us in Connecticut. The food was wonderful and the whole afternoon was superb!” Mary L“This was a lovely afternoon of learning, sharing stories and learning about Italy” Nancy L

European Metals starts beneficiation of Cinovec bulk sample
Aim-listed European Metals has started the beneficiation process and magnetic separation of a 15 t bulk sample at its Cinovec lithium/tin project, in the Czech Republic.
The beneficiation and magnetic separation of a lithium-rich concentrate will provide pilot plant feed for planned downstream processing through the roast, leach, purification and final product precipitation flowsheet that has been developed.
It is intended to ultimately produce up to 200 kg of battery-grade lithium carbonate from this material for marketing and user acceptance purposes.
The processing of the ore sample will also provide about 12 t of nonmagnetic material that will be used to confirm the flowsheet for the recovery of tin and tungsten values which are unique and important by-products from the Cinovec orebody.
“The beginning of the processing of the bulk sample to provide concentrate feed for the lithium carbonate pilot plant is a significant step for European Metals. The pilot plant operation is not only a significant activity of the feasibility study, it also allows the production of lithium carbonate for end-user trials and associated offtake arrangements,” MD Keith Coughlan commented.
He added that ongoing roast optimisation testwork is almost complete and will form the basis of the upcoming lock-cycle pilot testwork.
“The optimisation work continues to improve recoveries and reduce input costs at the project,” he said.

Importance of Environmental Sustainability
At BroadTech Engineering, our experienced building design consultants largely focus on the environmental component of sustainable built environment development.
While modern development of urban built environment is a long-term, continuous process, it is an urgent priority for present generation of architectural developers, Green Building Consultants as well as environmental consultants to seek to maintain or even enhance the general health, biological diversity and economic productivity output of the urban built environment by allocating more emphasis on the crucial environmental portion in the planning and economic valuation of urban building assets and services.
Simulation Driven Building Design Process
Running an engineering simulation base on the necessary fields will give the required simulation results needed for the analysis.
Through the post analysis of results obtained from the simulation modeling, it allows building design consultants an opportunity to perform a much in-depth evaluation insights into various aspects of the building design performance way before the building designs take on an actual physical form.
Thus, the precise environmental modeling, planning, and design of a building overall layout, particularly at the initial phases are important in making ensuring that the interaction between these key design factors is cohesive and balanced.
Virtually, this can be performed through the use of Fluid dynamic analysis computational software which allows the building designers the capability to physically ‘materialize’ the actual building design based on their physical specifications.
Computational fluid analysis (IL: Computational Fluid Analysis) and simulation of the Building design involves recognizing and analyzing the problems and creating a workable energy model.
This includes areas such as
