Item description for Swiss Made: Precision and Madness: Swiss Art from Hodler to Hirschhorn by Markus Bruderlin...
At last, the broader movements of twentieth-century Swiss art--and the individual artists behind them--are tracked through the present day in one standard-setting publication. Swiss Made: Precision and Madness sets the famous Swiss tendency toward precision and order alongside the tendency toward obstinacy and chaos, pairing canonical works with pieces made within the past 40 years. Provocative pairs include Max Bill and John Armleder, Ferdinand Hodler and Urs Luthi, Alberto Giacometti and Remy Zaugg, Louis Soutter and Martin Disler, Robert Muller and Sylvie Fleury, Paul Klee and Silvia Bachli, Adolph Wolfli and Ugo Rondinone. Tensions emerge between the focused and the expansive, over everyday life in the Swiss state, and naturally over the mountains. Swiss Made: Precision and Madness is of interest on its own analytic terms, and as an excellent overview of the country's art since 1850.

World Champ of Champs 2017-18 tender
Bowls Australia and World Bowls are calling on interested clubs to submit their tender to host the World Champion of Champions in 2017 and 2018.
The annual World Bowls event is open to tender for all affiliated clubs, with clubs able to bid for one or both events.
The World Champion of Champions event was established in 2003 and has been held on Australian soil on three occasions in its 11-year history, including the inaugural event in 2003 at Moama Bowling Club, followed by Warilla Bowling Club a year later, and then again in 2007.
Australia has a rich history of success in the Champion of Champions event with five winners in the event’s 11 years of competition, including three consecutive mens winners with Leif Selby winning in 2008, Brett Wilkie in 2009 and Aron Sherriff in 2010.
In the women’s, Kelsey Cottrell made it an Aussie double when she claimed the title alongside Wilkie in 2009, while Karen Murphy tasted success in 2013.
The Gold Coast’s Club Helensvale last year won the rights to stage the next two World Champion of Champions events, in 2015 and 2016.
At the time of announcement, Club Helensvale General Manager Len Brunt said securing this event not only affirms his club’s strength on the Gold Coast, but also a much wider region.
“The World Champion of Champion singles is one of the great events on the World Bowls calendar each year and we are thrilled to be the first Queensland club to ever host the event, and even more thrilled as one of our club’s great players in Brett Wilkie is a former winner,” Brunt said.
World Bowls Chief Executive Gary Smith said that the enormity of an event like the World Champion of Champions will be remembered and cherished by competitors for their whole life.
“Whilst many seasoned international representatives will no doubt feature in these events, for some it may be their first opportunity to appear on the international stage, as all competitors will be competing by virtue of winning their national singles titles not via any selection process, and I have no doubt that for those who will be involved in these events it will be an experience they will treasure for the rest of their lives.”
The 2016 iteration is set to roll at Club Helensvale from November 16 to 22.
Click here to view the tender document for hosting the World Champion of Champions events in 2017 and/or 2018.
Please direct your tender to Bowls Australia Chief Executive Officer Neil Dalrymple at firstname.lastname@example.org by June 30, 2015.

The visualization component of ViSUS was built with the philosophy that a single code base can be designed to run on a variety of platforms and hardware ranging from mobile devices to powerwall displays.
To enable this portability, the basic draw routines were designed to be OpenGL ES compatible. This is a limited subset of OpenGL used primarily for mobile devices. More advanced draw routines can be enabled if a system's hardware can support it. In this way, the data visualization can scale in quality depending on the available hardware.
Beyond the display of the data, the underlying GUI library can hinder portability to multiple devices. At this time ViSUS has made use of the Juce and Qt library which are lightweight and supports mobile platforms such as iOS and Android in addition to major operating systems.
ViSUS provides a demo viewer which contains standard visualizations such as slicing, volume rendering and isosurfacing. Additionally, the base system can display 2D and 3D time- varying data. The system considers a 2D dataset as a special case of a slice renderer and therefore the same code base is used for 2D and 3D datasets.
Combining all of the above design decisions allows the same code base to be used on multiple platforms seamlessly for data of arbitrary dimensions.
ViSUS provices an end-to-end data movement framework is comprised of two important steps, data input (writes) from the simulation and analysis and visualization (reads) for data exploration. The ViSUS data access layer is a key component allowing immediate, efficient data pipeline processing that otherwise would be stalled by traditional system I/O cost.
In particular, the ViSUS I/O component (and its generalized Data Base component) are focused on enabling the effective deployment of Out-of-Core and data streaming algorithms. Out-of-core computing specifically addresses the issues of algorithm redesign and data layout restructuring. These are necessary to enable data access patterns having minimal performance degradation with external memory storage. Algorithmic approaches in this area also yield valuable techniques for parallel and distributed computing.
The multi-resolution data layout of ViSUS is a progressive, linear format and therefore has a write routine that is inherently serial. During the execution of large scale simulations, it would be ideal for each node in the simulation to be able to write its piece of the domain data directly into this layout. Therefore a parallel write strategy must be employed. This is inefficient due to the large number of small granularity, concurrent accesses to the same file.
Moreover, as the data gets large, it becomes disadvantageous to store the entire dataset as a single, large file and typically the entire dataset is partitioned into a series of smaller more manageable pieces. This disjointness can be used by a parallel write routine.
As each simulation process produces a portion of the data, it can store its piece of the overall dataset locally and pass the data on to an aggregator process. These aggregator processes can be used to gather the individual pieces and composite the entire dataset. Once the aggregator's buffer is complete, the data is written to disk using a single large I/O operation. This approach also reduces the overhead due to the number of small network messages needed to transfer the data to the aggregators.
Even simple manipulations can be overly expensive when applied to each variable in a large scale dataset. Instead, it would be ideal to process the data based on need by pushing data through a processing pipeline as the user interacts with different portions of the data. The ViSUS multi-resolution data layout enables efficient access to different regions of the data at varying resolutions.
Therefore different compute modules can be implemented using progressive algorithms to operate on this data stream. ViSUS LightStream facilitates this steam processing model by providing definable modules within a dataflow framework with a well understood API. ViSUS also provides a scene graph hierarchy for both organizing objects in a particular environment, as well as the sharing and inheriting of parameters.
Analytics & Visuals
Scientists need actionable information during simulation capture, not at the end. Ideally, a user-scientist would like to view a simulation as it is computed, in order to steer or correct the simulation as unforeseen events arise.
Simulation data is often very large. For instance, a single field of a time-step from the S3D combustion simulation (shown above) is approximately 128 GB in size. In the time needed to transfer this single time-step, the user-scientist would have lost any chance for significant steering/correction of an ongoing simulation or at least take the opportunity to save computing resources by early termination of a job that is not useful anymore.
By using the parallel ViSUS data format in simulation checkpointing, we can link this data directly with an Apache server using a ViSUS plug-in running on a node of the cluster system. By doing this, user-scientists can visualize simulation data as checkpoints are reached. ViSUS can handle missing or partial data, therefore the data can be visualized even as it is being written to disk by the system.
ViSUS's support for a wide-variety of clients (a stand-alone application, a web-browser plug-in, or an iOS application for the iPad or iPhone) allows the application scientist to monitor a simulation as it is produced, on practically any system that is available without any need to transfer the data off the computing cluster.
This work is the natural evolution of the ViSUS approach of targeting practical applications for out-of-core data analysis and visualization. This approach has been used for direct streaming and real-time remote monitoring of the early large scale simulations such as those executed on the IBM BG/L supercomputers at LLNL.
This work continues its evolution towards the deployment of high performance tools for in-situ and post-processing data management and analysis for the software and hardware resources of the future including exascale DOE platforms of the next decade.

By Kate Brownlie, List Candidate for REFORM UK Scotland, Highlands and Islands, 6th May 2021
Even before the coronavirus fear response closed down businesses, schools and hospitals and sent waiting lists through the roof – including for life-saving surgery – health care services were already under stress. Despite advances in technology, the majority of patients today receive a poorer service compared to that available in the 1950s and 60s when it was commonplace for a GP to make home visits. The coronavirus debacle has made things markedly worse and has all but destroyed what was left of professional health care for the 99%. Some will say that life expectancy has improved, however this is mainly due to a lack of infant mortality compared with the past. Many Victorians lived to a ripe old age and into their 70s, 80s and beyond. Just check out any old graveyards and you will see, it’s true. It was getting past childhood that was the hard part.
Clean drinking water and proper sewage systems also greatly reduced serious infectious diseases like cholera – a big killer in the 19th century. It was not vaccinations that reduced the number of deaths from contagious vectors, it was better living conditions. Death rates were falling long before vaccinations were introduced. Of course this is not what is taught. You have been sold that vaccines are a panacea, without which mankind would surely have perished. Left to its own devices, the body actually mounts a more complex and longer lasting response to a wild virus – such as measles – than it does to the manufactured species of measles in a vaccine. So they have a place but they’re not the be-all-and-end-all. And the new ones are not really vaccines at all; they are a form of gene intervention using DNA or messenger RNA (mRNA) to modify your own cells and trick them into making spike proteins (hopefully, to prime the immune system. Hmmm). This has never been done before and to save time, the animal trials were skipped and Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA) was granted because a state of urgency had already been declared.
This means that full approval of the new ‘vaccines’ cannot occur until 2023, once the human trials are complete. So everyone is currently taking part in a novel medical Stage 3 trial – you’re either in the active (vaccinated) group or the control (unvaccinated) group and the data is being very carefully collated by an expensive artificial intelligence program. This is not being made clear to people who have the right to fully informed consent and protection from a range of human rights legislation. Does ‘My body, My choice’ not apply here then? Yes it does. No medical procedures or experiments may be carried out without your full consent. No exceptions. Court cases are now rattling at the gates.
Just to be clear, these are not typical attenuated live virus products that are being administered – they are completely new experimental interventions whose outcomes are as yet unknown. Normally a vaccine has to meet two key criteria – a) it should prevent you from contracting the disease and b) it should prevent you from transmitting the disease to others. These do neither of these things. All they claim to do is to reduce symptoms if you contract the virus. One dictionary that I know of – Merriam Webster’s – has just recently introduced a secondary definition to cover this new type.
Now we all know what has happened with antibiotics over the years; these are often not as useful now as they once were. Overprescribing and their wholesale, routine use on farm animals as well as humans, has meant that antibiotics which once saved lives are now often inadequate or useless. Several vaccine specialists have spoken out to state that prophylactic vaccines should not be used in the midst of a ‘pandemic’ scenario because it encourages the creation of variants. Basically they are saying that the virus may mutate under pressure and cause further problems. Others claim that care home residents who managed to stay ‘virus free’ all year, are now testing positive for Covid after being vaccinated. Nurses under stress are leaving the profession, because they were embarrassed by people ‘clapping for NHS’ whilst their hospitals were empty, yet now they are being threatened with the loss of their jobs if they speak out about the neurological vaccine damage that they are now seeing. It’s all a bit of a mess. The jury is still out and won’t be reporting for a while yet. Stay safe!

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - With uninsured South Carolinians facing a midnight deadline for signing up for health care coverage, enrollment counselors are reporting a surge of people seeking their help.
But people can't access their options because of more technical glitches with the federal website. Navigators at the Richland County Public Library and Cooperative Ministry say first-time users of the online marketplace had to leave a message Monday after calling the federal government's toll-free number. Like the website, the hotline was overwhelmed. A voice recording says messages will returned after April 1.
People trying to apply qualify for extensions to Monday's deadline.
Insurance companies and navigators say they've seen a lot more activity in the last week. More than 350 people attended an education and enrollment event Saturday at the Richland County Library.

The latest trailer for Shin Megami Tensei V gives us an in-depth look at the English voice cast behind many characters. The game will be releasing on November 12 on the Nintendo Switch, with the English and Japanese versions releasing simultaneously.
To fill out quite a bit of the voice cast, we have Casey Mongillo playing as the Protagonist, Erica Lindbeck playing Sahori Itsukishima, Kellen Goff as Lahmu, Chris Hackney as Fionn mac Cumhaill, Deva Marie as Amanozako, Jeannie Tirado playing Tao Isonokami, Mark Whitten as Yuzuru Atsuta, Ashlyn Madden voicing Miyazu Atsuta, Stuart Allan playing Ichiro Dazai, Sean Crisden as Hayao Koshimizu, Cissy Jones as Abdiel, Ben Lepley playing Shohei Yakumo, Laura Post as Nuwa, and Daman Mills as Aogami. Many of these talented cast members are veterans in the voice acting field.
Leading up to the November release date, we’ve already received another trailer surrounding Shin Megami Tensei V’s gameplay, with players taking part in intense turn-based combat against demonic forces using their Nahobino abilities. Right now, we’re still waiting to learn how the main characters made their way over to Da’at and the importance of their connection with their demonic counterparts to become Nahobino while working with the Bethel organization to defend against the demon invasions.

Editor's note: Africa is closed with no immediate plans to reopen.
One of the busier spots come midnight in the Old Town, Africa attracts a young crowd who squeeze into a compact, colourful space of well conceived murals, wood carvings of thin faces and bar tables topped with maps of the continent concerned. Nothing much African on the menu, though – just 50 odd cocktails, shooters, short and long drinks, plus Karlovačko and Heineken on draught. Watch out for darts flying into the machine board by the bar. Under the same umbrella as the nearby nightlife hub, the Casablanca.

Had a proper giggle to myself with this blog post title because I’m clearly getting old and actually think I’m hilarious!
I want to say a thank you to Netflix for bringing out shows like Riverdale and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina because thanks to them I have discovered Archie Comics. I love comics and graphic novels but I don’t get to read them as often as I would like. After watching Sabrina I just wanted more and I was pleasantly surprised to find the comics, then I discovered that the show to begin with was based on comics and Riverdale was included in all of that. So having discovered this I had a look at Archie Comics and found out they did a relaunch of them all with new look and design to update, totally obsessed now and I want to read them all!
I think its great that these comics started out in 1939 and they are still gaining new fans to this day. Even though I grew up watching Sabrina The Teenage Witch and I’m pretty sure Josie and the Pussycats was in a cartoon, I never knew they came from comics but I’m glad to have made the discovery so I can add to my collection.
Do you read comics and graphic novels?

"The music and performances keep you transfixed, whether for spiritual or sonic reasons. Two selections are arrangements by members of [A Far Cry] which put vital new spins on old music. The unison chants of Hildegard...become communal celebrations as shaped by these superb musicians. Transcriptions of Beethoven string quartets aren't always persuasive but A Far Cry gives such nuanced life to the third movement of Op. 132... that the music's juxtaposition of the divine and the exhilarating is vividly achieved. The two newer works also seize ears and soul. Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol;s Vecd... conjures up a Sufi ceremony by building rhythmic momentum on increasingly propulsive phrases. Golijov's The Dreams & Prayers of Isaac the Blind... explores a spectrum of moods, with the clarinet and strings engaged both introspective and wailing. The Criers, as the musicians of A Far Cry call themselves, truly soar with their guest, the spectacular clarinetist David Krakauer."
"The clarinetist David Krakauer plays with soul and passion in Osvaldo Golijov’s “The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind,” originally for string quartet and presented here, the string orchestra A Far Cry, in a new arrangement by Mr. Golijov."
The New York Times
"Music and spirituality have gone hand-in-hand for centuries. Boston-based string orchestra, A Far Cry, demonstrates that concept beautifully in its new CD, “Dreams and Prayers.” Its creative programming links works from the 12th to the 21st centuries, incorporating varieties of religious mysticism...The final selection, an orchestrated version of the hymn-like middle movement of Beethoven’s String Quartet, Op. 132, is a fitting end to this musical journey... the quiet uplift of its harmonious lyricism exemplifies music’s ability to take us into higher realms, away from everyday woes."

Councillor thanks the man who dug up 30-year-old memento
A CAIRNS politician has had a chance to meet with the young tradie who discovered a relic from an accident that changed his life 30 years ago.
On Thursday, former Cairns MP and division two councillor Rob Pyne revealed that his old wallet, lost 30 years ago during the diving accident that rendered him quadriplegic, had been found washed up near the Yorkeys Knob boat ramp.
Mr Pyne had set off on a boating trip with his fiancee and in-laws and dived into the water, when he hit a sandbar and broke his neck.
The wallet was lost during the incident but was discovered this week during the construction of a new toilet block near the ramp.
First-year Peter Hadley Plumbing apprentice Bernie Courtney, 27, discovered the wallet, which he found sitting near the mud around the worksite.
"It was on Tuesday afternoon; I was told to clean up the site and found it sitting in the mud," he said.
"I took it out and saw it was a wallet. We went through it and saw the old cards, the driver's licence and everything.
"I gave it to the boss who handed it in to the boat club, then later on we got a call from them saying 'you just found Rob Pyne's wallet'."
Mr Courtney said that despite having been submerged for years, the wallet was in surprisingly good condition, with everything looking completely legible after they had rinsed it off under the tap.
"You'd think he'd only lost it a week ago," he said.
Mr Pyne visited the boating club on Friday, which also happened to be his birthday, to meet Mr Courtney, and reminisce about how things had changed since that fateful day.
"I can't remember what the place looked like 30 years ago, it's changed a lot," he said.
"It looks like the rain we had recently might have washed some of the mud away, which was how he found it."
Mr Pyne noted that with the items in the wallet still intact and legible, it said a lot about the dangers of plastic in the waterways.

The inflation rate in the United States right now sits at a staggering 9.1%, the highest it has been in 40 years. That drastic uptick in inflation isn’t just affecting Americans: the entire global economy is seeing price hikes on a par with what is happening in the US.
Per PBS, economists place most of the blame on two factors: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and an unexpected recovery from the pandemic, both of which are hamstringing the supply side while demand holds strong. The pandemic crashed much of the economy into chaos, from which it is still trying to recover. After an original dip, the economy made a surprising rebound that labor shortages and the supply chain weren’t equipped to handle, which has led to backlogs and further increased prices.
We’ve discussed many of the supply chain issues in the past as they pertain to the coffee industry, but now, we want to hear from you. How, if at all, is inflation affecting your coffee? Whether you are a consumer, run a cafe, roaster, importer/exporter, producer, or exist anywhere along the coffee supply chain, we want to know what impact you are seeing. And if you haven’t felt the inflation hit, we want to hear that, too.
Take our brief, helpful poll below and let us hear about your experiences. We’ll then report back in the coming days with our findings.

Matt Hare plays the double bass in faculty concert hour. (Dylan Lujano)
As part of the Concert Hour series, Dr. Matt Hare on double base, Catherine Tibbets on piano, and Branden Muresan on violin began the hour performing a Mozart-composed piece for a weekly faculty recital Thursday at Saddleback College.
The group played for an audience full of students, staff, and music lovers of all ages. Hare began with a piece by Edward Elgar titled “Salut d’amour, Op. 12.”
“We watch professional musicians, get taught about the music business, and watch and learn new things, it gives us ideas on the steps to go through,” said Taylor Campbell, 22, music. “I liked the mix of duets, I loved the closing piece, it caught me off guard, it was engaging to the audience.”
Campbell’s main concentration is vocals, but he dabbles in the guitar as well.
The last piece Hare played on the double bass was titled “B.B Wolf (An Apologia).” Before he started he asked the audience to imagine all of the wolves in every fairy tale ever told, and to combine them together. As he started the piece, he made sound effects from clicks with his tongue and taps on his bass. The audience reacted in laughs, as Hare included the perspective of the wolf into the piece, he said things like, “misunderstood,” “hunted down like a criminal,” and “I don’t hate little pigs.”
“It’s a really fun piece, so many people have part-time jobs at Saddleback, and they don’t get to see the bass outside of an orchestra or a recital role,” Hare said about the piece.
Hare explained that recently there has been a movement to tune the bass in fifths. This was was his first performance played in fifths.
“I always feel that things could go better,” Hare said. “I’m very lucky to play with Kathy and Branden.”
Hare went on to say he enjoys playing the bass because he can convey everything in a short amount of time without words.
He mentioned that Saddleback College has a great music program among community colleges.
Hare also holds summer music seminars and teaches private lessons, for more information visit matthare.com.

These are the sometimes fateful decisions on which the success or failure of the whole outing turns. Doing this will allow you to see connections and will help you to write a more organized essay. Will their connection be clear to the reader? An example of revision: In 1969, E. If this is an in-class essay, read it slowly and loudly in your head. Make sure that sentence flow is smooth and add phrases to help connect thoughts or ideas.
Check Capitalization and Acronyms Names, terms, titles, and headings should all be written the same way. Aside from the usual grammar, spelling and punctuation checklist, we also consider whether your essay is specific, direct to the point, clear, interesting to readers and also whether it follows the tradition of essay writing. Read your draft carefully to make sure that it is well organized. One trick is not to hinder yourself while you are composing the first draft because the more you produce, the more you will have to work with when cutting time comes. Writing Negatively About People in your Life When it comes to writing creative nonfiction, the vast majority of the material is going to be from experience. Use a lot of description and imagery, if you can, to make the reader feel like they know the topic intimately.
In second grade I enrolled in a summer science program and built a solar-powered oven that baked real cookies. Each acronym should be defined the first time it is used, and it should replace the term it represents for every use thereafter. Successful revision involves bringing the strongest ideas to the front of the essay, reordering the main points, cutting irrelevant sections, adding implications. Here's from my friend Chris that demonstrates how putting your first lines in bold can help the reader follow your story. Copying the content into a different document without formatting is one option, as is temporarily changing the font size or style.
Avoid shortcuts: the reward for sustained effort is a clearer, more persuasive, more sophisticated essay than a first draft can be. Scan the paper for words and phrases that you repeat. Analyze the terminology you have utilized throughout the essay in order to gain insight as to how you have portrayed yourself. They will be able to spot mistakes and errors that you have missed.

Tips for Editing and Revising Articles, Essays, and Research Papers The best way to write great articles, essays, and research papers is to edit and revise until you can edit and revise no more! If you have one short paragraph and then one long diatribe, you risk your essay appearing imbalanced. But be warned: there are two potential problems with revising as you go. When revising your essay, ask yourself; what does this essay impart to the reader about me? If you have not been assigned a topic, you have a little more work to do. How do I revise at the sentence level? How can this information help you write a better essay? Following this process is the easiest way to draft a successful essay, whatever its purpose might be. Here, my obsession with details will be as crucial as ever.
Something goes along that spoils everything because it is always in the way; something gets left behind that is desperately needed for comfort or for safety. If so, cut the repetitions. Try to think of the form as a part of the writing itself, not just a framework for it: the form should actually enhance and make more poignant what it is you are taking about. What is it that interests you? Allow at least 1-2 hours between writing and revising. Rank their importance in advancing your thesis. When I printed my sample chapters, I edited them as I walked through the forest.
There are a few requirements the content of the essay must meet, so when revising, you need to check each of them. In some ways, the personal essay is similar to memoir and many of the same techniques can be used effectively. A well-organized essay or article leads the reader through a clear line of thinking. She did have a temper, though, and could act very impulsively. Therefore, revising a personal essay can be complicated, especially when you feel as though you don't want to tamper with personal thoughts. Your article should answer questions, not prompt them.

Dry deposition refers to the removal of trace substances from the atmosphere without the aid of precipitation. Dry deposition cleanses the air and delivers substances to the Earth's surface. In air, the vertical transfer is accomplished primarily by turbulent mixing; for particles whose diameters are greater than 1 to 2 |im, vertical transfer is aided by gravitational settling. As air comes into contact with surface elements, gas molecules can react with surface materials or dissolve in them. Particles can be captured by interception or impaction with the surface elements. In comparison to wet deposition, in which substances are carried in precipitation to the surface, dry deposition is a slower, more continuous process and is profoundly affected by the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the surface.
The downward vertical mass flux density (deposition rate per unit area), divided by concentration C at a specified height, is conventionally known as the deposition velocity Vd. The value of this velocity can vary greatly depending on the properties of the substance of interest and local atmospheric and surface conditions. Nevertheless, the concept of a deposition velocity is highly useful in many applications because it produces the deposition rate when multiplied by a measured or modeled concentration. As a general guideline, a deposition velocity of 0.1 cm/s is small, 1.0 cm/s is moderately large, and several centimeters per second is near the limit that is physically possible on the basis of turbulent mixing alone. The corresponding residence times of the constituents in the lower atmosphere can be weeks, days, or hours, respectively, when they are controlled only by dry deposition. Relatively inert gases with very small deposition velocities can have lifetimes of several years in the atmosphere if other sources of removal, such as chemical transformations, are weak.
Handbook of Weather, Climate, and Water: Atmospheric Chemistry, Hydrology, and Societal Impacts, Edited by Thomas D. Potter and Bradley R. Colman. ISBN 0-471-21489-2 © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Because dry deposition is a surface process, it can be treated as a boundary condition in models that compute atmospheric chemical budgets. In numerical models, the deposition rate is usually estimated on the basis of deposition velocity fairly close to the surface, typically at a height less than 50 m, with the assumption that the vertical flux below such small heights does not change substantially with height. This assumption is valid if the lower atmosphere has concentrations and mixing properties that are horizontally uniform and steady with time over the period of a few hours. Another requirement for nearly constant fluxes with height is that the substance of interest does not undergo chemical and physical changes that are rapid in comparison to the time scales of local vertical mixing. When these requirements are met, the vertical flux can be estimated as where we have adopted the convention that a flux directed downward is negative. This type of formulation is intended only for the case of a flux being directed downward, when Vd is positive; it has little merit for substances that are emitted from the surface because ambient concentration often has little effect on emission rates.
This chapter provides a brief, somewhat introductory, overview of dry deposition. The reader can find considerable additional information in the scientific literature. For example, a review of the state of the science after considerable research on acidic deposition during the 1980s in the United States was provided by Hicks et al. (1989), and measurement techniques were reviewed by Businger (1986). Some European perspectives on acidic deposition were provided by Erisman and Draaijers (1995), and reviews of the status of dry deposition knowledge were conducted recently by Lovett (1994), Seinfeld and Pandis (1998), and Wesely and Hicks (2000).

Charlie Banacos was a true music guru. He taught piano, composition, and improvisation in Greater Boston's north shore for almost 50 years until his death in 2009, reaching thousands of musicians all over the world.
Famous Berklee College of Music graduates like saxophonist Michael Brecker, pianist Danilo Perez, guitarist Mike Stern, got on a 2-year waiting list to get to study with him. Charlie was a pioneer in offering correspondence lessons to students across the country long before the days of Youtube or Skype lesson online. So I do not have his whole story, not even close. Check out his website and other resources online, and talk to others instructors on the Real School staff who studied with him as I did.
CHARLIE'S UNIQUE APPROACH
Charlie certainly wasn't the first teacher to get students to play in all 12 keys. But he was the one to show me how magical, powerful, and FUN-damental it was, and how anyone could start doing it. That's why today I teach all of my students using it as soon as they can, regardless of their level. It is the ultimate ear training tool, which is the secret to great musicianship at all levels.
Starting can be easy enough; just don't bite off more than you can chew. Take baby steps. Take a simple melody, a single chord, or a snippet like Do-Re-Mi (1-2-3) from a major scale. Play it, and go up a key, say chromatically – first in C, then in C#, in D etc, through all 12 keys. Then come back down through them all.
Or, go right to the full version of Charlie's method (this dissertation by Lefteris Kordis is an excellent resource) using the famous chord progression known as the Cycle of 4ths. Take your musical idea, find it, and play it in the following progression of keys:
C F Bb Eb Ab Db(C#) Gb(F#) B E A D G (C) (more on this cycle in Part II)
Yes, it can be tricky, especially at first. But, like riding a bicycle, if you keep at it, at a certain point something will take over. You'll be amazed at how smooth and powerful it can feel, like moving in a different plane. As Charlie used to say, watch the notes as they go by, “like you're driving by the planets”.
Have fun and, as Charlie always used to say in parting (about those horrible threatening practicing demons facing you) – “Kill! Kill!”

I Did It.
Can You Do it?
Add one heaping teaspoon each of milled flax seeds and milled chia seeds.
Mix it all up (about 20 seconds on medium speed).
Now begin laying on leafy greens, Alternate “soft” or watery greens such as baby spinach, bok choy and romaine leaves with “tougher,” more fibrous greens such as various varieties of kale (red, green, dinosaur), collard greens, cucumber and Swiss chard. Toss the stems in, too! Alternating helps the blender deal with the density of the ingredients. Depending upon what’s on hand, you can use more or less of any ingredient. I generally use one good-sized frond of each leafy green.
Fill the mixer to the brim and mix well (I’ve never gone over the halfway mark on the speed) for about 30 to 45 seconds (peek inside to see if everything is well blended).
Lately I’ve been doing the greens in two stages. Layer loosely, mix, then layer again, especially if you’re making a smoothie for two.
Now you have a very concentrated mix of green veggies. It’s time for the frozen berries!
Wild blueberries are your mainstay here—they are much lower in sugar than regular blueberries so well worth seeking out. (Whole Foods has an extensive line of organic frozen berries including the wild ones.)
Add about a half cup of wild blues, then about a quarter cup of red raspberries. About four frozen strawberries come next followed by a topper of three or four mango chunks (optional). If you can’t find frozen berries, buy fresh organic varieties and freeze your own.
Mix it all up. The result should be a lovely shade of light purple.
Be sure it’s all mixed well. If necessary at any point, stop the blender and stir or tamp it all down. Breaking it into two sections does help.
Depending upon the amount of liquid, the resulting smoothie might be super thick, almost like a sorbet, or slightly thinner. We love the thick mixture. It should still pour into a glass.
This gives us about 24 to 30 ounces total, just right for two people, or four glasses for one person over a day or two. Note: I’m not real exact about measurements, so your mileage and results may vary. It comes out a little differently every day but that’s half the fun and challenge. Don’t be afraid to experiment.
Another bonus: veggies that are a little wilted or otherwise in less than pristine condition can go into a smoothie, thereby maximizing your weekly veggie run. We rarely have a single leaf left over.
The green smoothie is our new breakfast tradition, delivering nutrients and energy that will keep you going for hours.

Patient-Reported Outcomes – Orthopedic (Hip & Knee)
The Patient-Reported Outcomes Program improves quality of life for patients and their families by integrating the collection of patient-reported outcomes into routine clinical care. This helps patients to be more involved in their own care by systematically reporting their symptoms in real time. Their healthcare teams can then provide the right care at the right time to help manage those symptoms.
We are working in partnership with the Ministry of Health to expand patient-reported outcomes collection to orthopedic procedures. This involves facilitating the collection of data from people having elective hip or knee replacement (orthopedic) surgery.
By filling out a short survey, patients can report on their pain, functional status, overall quality of life and orthopedic care.
Patient-reported outcomes are also systematically collected across cancer clinics in Ontario. Visit the Patient Reported Outcomes and Symptom Management Program to learn more.
- To measure and collect data on the pain, functional status and overall quality of life of individuals undergoing hip and knee replacement surgery
- To use collected data to assess surgical outcomes in accordance with the Quality-Based Procedure for orthopedic patients, as overseen by the Ministry of Health
- Provide data to the Canadian Institute for Health Information to conduct comparative reporting of provincial, national and international outcomes
As a Health Information Network Provider under Ontario Regulation 329/04, we receive hip and knee patient-reported outcomes data from participating orthopedic clinics. We make this information available through a secure database called ISAAC. For more information, please send us an email.

Named one of the Top 10 Books of 2008 by The Times-Picayune. Winner of the 2009 Humanities Book of the Year award from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities. Awarded the New Orleans Gulf South Booksellers Association Book of the Year Award for 2008. New Orleans is the most elusive of American cities. The product of the centuries-long struggle among three mighty empires--France, Spain, and England--and among their respective American colonies and enslaved African peoples, it has always seemed like a foreign port to most Americans, baffled as they are by its complex cultural inheritance. The World That Made New Orleans offers a new perspective on this insufficiently understood city by telling the remarkable story of New Orleans's first century--a tale of imperial war, religious conflict, the search for treasure, the spread of slavery, the Cuban connection, the cruel aristocracy of sugar, and the very different revolutions that created the United States and Haiti. It demonstrates that New Orleans already had its own distinct personality at the time of Louisiana's statehood in 1812. By then, important roots of American music were firmly planted in its urban swamp--especially in the dances at Congo Square, where enslaved Africans and African Americans appeared en masse on Sundays to, as an 1819 visitor to the city put it, -rock the city.- This book is a logical continuation of Ned Sublette's previous volume, Cuba and Its Music: From the First Drums to the Mambo, which was highly praised for its synthesis of musical, cultural, and political history. Just as that book has become a standard resource on Cuba, so too will The World That Made New Orleans long remain essential for understanding the beautiful and tragic story of this most American of cities.
About the Author
Ned Sublette is the author of Cuba and Its Music: From the First Drums to the Mambo. Cofounder of the record label Qbadisc, he coproduced the public radio program Afropop Worldwide for seven years. A writer, record producer, and musician, he lives in New York City.
"This articulate and intensely researched history provides not only an impressive look at its subject but also should serve as a model for any future works on great American cities. Cultural studies and history do not get much better than this, a must read for anyone who wonders why this city must be saved." Booklist
"An unmatchable snapshot of the exhilarating yet often ugly 1960s soul music scene." Kirkus Reviews
"Made me weep." The New Yorker
"A fresh a very readable book of scholarship . . . Sublette gets contemporary New Orleans." The Times Picayune
"With staggering erudition and dazzling style, Sublette weaves things you always wanted to know together in a harmonious whole." Madison Smartt Bell, author, Toussaint Louverture and All Souls' Rising
"The best argument yet for why we need to save New Orleans." The Boston Globe
"A compelling portrait of the city as a capital of the Caribbean, an irrepressible source of artistic and political creativity." Laurent Dubois, author, Avengers of the New World: The Story of the Haitian Revolution
"With great detail and talented telling, Sublette especially chronicles the paths slaves took to New Orleans and how those paths led to the city’s personality today." The Tampa Tribune


text: Economic crisis which happened several years ago has caused many impacts to Indonesia. One of these impacts is a huge amount of government debt. Particularly, the government debt whether from domestic or foreign is one of the instruments to finance government expenditure which can not be fulfilled entirely by revenues from taxes. However, using the government debt to fund the government expenditure has consequences for the government to pay-back not only for the interest rate but also for the principal of debt which have maturity-date in the future. The purpose of this study is to analyze how far the development of the government debt dynamic from both domestic and foreign is correlated to fiscal sustainability. This study uses a case of lndonesia in period 1980-2005 which is divided into three periods: before crisis (1980-1997), crisis (1998-2000), and after crisis (2001-2005). In this study, we use Branson (1992) to analyze the government debt dynamic. In addition, we also use different approaches to have several comparisons in our analysis by Hamilton and Flavin (1986), Wilcox(1989), and Trehan and Walsh (1991). Besides that, we also conduct projection of the ratio of government revenue to GDP which is needed to support in decreasing of the ratio of government debt to GDP in the middle-term until 2010. In summary, this study shows that after the crisis, the dynamic movement of the government debt is decreasing continuously. Further more, the government debt and the primary deficit still stand on the sustainable path, or the right track. Equally important, in the middle-term, the ratio of government revenue to GDP is still needed to maintain in decreasing of the government debt from year to year. Generally, this study shows that fiscal condition in Indonesia after the crisis reflects sustainable and suitable to the assumption of Non-Ponzi Game.

No matter how healthy and fit we would love to be, we have a week of more than sixty-hour work. We have to do that until the weekend comes. Sticking to the desk in that period is seriously harmful, but you cannot leave the work to fulfil your professional as well personal life expectations. Making some changes you can stay healthy and fit. Here are some ways for your support:
Do desk exercises if you have no time to leave your work desk
Without any physical activity, it is hard for you to stay concentrated on your work and sticking to the desk most of the time is harmful to you. If you have no time and you do not take a short break, do desk exercises for 2-3 minutes after a certain period. You can go forward toward the desk and backwards the desk. In addition, you can do leg stretching while being in your seat.
Carry a protein bar
Eating natural foods is essential for staying healthy and fit. However, taking a protein/granola bar is more beneficial in comparison with taking junk or fast foods. Carry it with you and take it when you are very busy in your office or work at home.
Walk while talking on your phone
We all do almost nothing when we talk to someone on the phone. It is better for you to go to office balcony and walk while talking on the phone. Being on the feet helps you burn calories and boosts your weight loss journey, leading you to a healthy lifestyle.
Cook meal in advance
Whether you work in an office or at home, I am sure that you have an idea about the day on which you will be very busy. Get prepared for that day in advance. Cook your favourite dish earlier and take it with to stay away from having unhealthy foods in your busy day.
Avoid eating at the desk and choose the time for socializing during the lunch
Always keep in mind that we are a social animal. Being with colleagues, friends, family members and known-persons helps you have a good feeling and happy. As far as possible, avoid having your lunch at the desk and go to office canteen for having lunch with your office mates.
Wear tracking device for motivation
In today’s world, the market around is flooded with several health devices that help to track the physical activities you do in a day for staying healthy and fit. Wear such a band on your wrist and track how active you were. This will motivate you to take the possible efforts that can help you stay healthy.
Stop working and take a break for at least 20 seconds
You know you can get stressed if you work continuously for a longer period. Stop your work and take a deep breath for 20 seconds when you feel you are stressed. This will help you beat the work stress and fill you with fresh energy.

Antioch’s Hanson challenged for mayor in April 9 election
By Diana Kuyper Special to The News-Sun December 21, 2012 6:02PM
Village of Antioch Mayor Lawrence Hanson. | Thomas Delany Jr.~Sun-Times Media
Updated: February 20, 2013 2:04AM
Mary Gaborek, a 10-year resident of Antioch, is challenging incumbent Mayor Lawrence Hanson as he seeks a second term in the April 9, 2013, election. Both candidates filed at Village Hall on Dec. 17.
Gaborek, 49, has raised three daughters with husband Mike, while volunteering with Antioch School District 34, Lake County Regional Office of Education Advisory Board and St. Peter’s Church.
She attended the College of Lake County, studying business and political science. She says she has used her college experience to examine and remain informed on Antioch’s local government.
Specific village-oriented involvement includes organizing a grassroots campaign in support of the Antioch Marketplace, a proposed 600,000-square-foot regional shopping center development that was approved, but not built because of the downturn in the economy.
“Now that the economy is improving I want to create a friendly business environment and promote Antioch on the residents’ behalf,” said Gaborek, adding she is a new face with a new focus in village government. “I want to take a more informed approach. There have been serious issues before the board recently and I don’t feel trustees have been sufficiently educated about them and they have delayed decision-making and voting because of that,” she said. “I want to make sure the Village Board is properly educated enough to know what they are voting on ahead of time, especially with what they have been dealing with lately, including street closures, liquor licenses and Antioch Rescue Squad.”
Hanson, 53, is seeking a second term as mayor. A village trustee for 14 years before he was elected to his first term as mayor in 2009, Hanson says he wants to continue a course of fiscal responsibility he started four years ago.
“I started my term during some of the worst fiscal times we have ever seen and we had to make some sacrifices that proved to be a success,” he noted
The life-long Antioch resident is manager of BJs Fashions for Men, a downtown business where he has worked since 1976. He said his biggest accomplishment since starting his first term is making necessary budget cuts, reducing staffing by 30 percent and subsequently taking the village from the red and into the black financially.
“I did everything I said I would do four years ago and proved this board to be fiscally responsible, bringing us back to a balanced budget exactly as promised,” Hanson said. “It took everybody’s effort and I can’t give enough credit to our staff and our Village Board. I feel lucky to have brought village officials together to accomplish a lot, with our decisions always based on what we believe is right for this community.”
Other candidates who filed include incumbent Trustee James Jozwiak and newcomer trustee candidate Jerry Johnson.

Modern automation and control systems depend on servo drives, which are widely employed in all industries to precisely regulate the movement and positioning of machinery and equipment.
Servo drives have improved manufacturing procedures, robotics, aircraft, and many other industries in Europe where accurate and dynamic control is crucial. A servo drive’s main job is to transform motion controllers or PLCs’ low-power control signals into high-power electrical currents that drive servo motors.
The machinery or equipment is moved by the servo motor in order to accomplish the desired motion or position. The servo drive’s sensor system provides a real-time feedback loop that ensures accurate control and corrects for any errors, enabling exceptionally high levels of precision and repeatability.
The capacity of servo drives to handle complicated motion profiles, including acceleration, deceleration, and velocity control, is one of its main advantages. Due to their adaptability, they can perform a variety of activities, including quick pick-and-place operations in manufacturing and accurate placement in medical and industrial robots.
In recent years, servo drive technology has advanced significantly in Europe. These developments have produced drives that are smaller, more energy-efficient, and have better thermal control, which lowers system costs and boosts system reliability.
Additionally, advancements in communication protocols and integration abilities have made it possible to connect automation components to one another easily, enabling the building of complex systems.
European servo drive manufacturers have also placed an emphasis on safety features and adherence to global standards. increased safety features, Assuring that machines can be rapidly and safely shut down in emergency scenarios, such as safe torque-off (STO) and safe operating stop (SOS), protects both operators and equipment.
The Europe servo drive market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The high performance Easy Series PLC, the GL20 I/O modules, the AC703 IPC motion controllers, and the SV670 servo series were all recently launched to the European market by Inovance Technology Europe, the European division of the multinational industrial automation corporation Inovance with headquarters in Stuttgart.
Additionally, the business reintroduced the MD800 tiny AC drive, which had never been displayed at the SPS exhibition previously, and provided a sneak peek at the SV680 servo drive.

Modular SMU Series (E5270B, E5260A, E5262A and E5263A)
Flexible solutions that lower cost-of-test for today’s parametric measurement challenges
The wide range of available models and advanced measurement features provides a variety of price-performance points for parametric measurement and analysis. Modular product family members enable customization now and provide for future expansion as requirements change, while 2-channel units provide cost-effective solutions for simple test needs. The E5270B is targeted at precision semiconductor device characterization, and the E5260 Series (E5260A, E5262A, and E5263A) is targeted at high-speed production test. For all members of this product family, a number of innovative design elements — such as expanded program memory — help to improve the efficiency of complex testing. Cost-of-test is also lowered through superior measurement throughput, often several times faster than earlier instruments (such as the 4142B). The new 4.0 version of Keysight Desktop EasyEXPERT software can control the product family by using sample application tests on Desktop EasyEXPERT. The product family also gives you the option of using your own software.
Modularity enables customization now and provides for future expansion as requirements change
The E5260A and E5270B both have a flexible and modular configuration with eight slots available for plug-in modules. The E5260A and E5270B support several source/monitor unit (SMU) types, with both products supporting a medium-power SMU (MPSMU) and a high-power SMU (HPSMU). [Note: The MPSMU and HPSMU modules are not interchangeable between these two products]. The E5270B additionally supports a high-resolution SMU (HRSMU) and an atto sense and switch unit (ASU). This flexibility enables you to tailor the selection of instrument mainframe and measurement modules to meet your exact testing requirements, but still provides you with the capability to expand and grow as your testing needs change in the future.
2-channel instruments provide cost-effective solutions for simple test needs
Many component measurements, such as laser diode and photo diode characterization, require only one or two SMUs. In these situations, the E5262A and E5263A models provide the ideal balance of price versus performance. Because both SMUs reside in the same mainframe, synchronization of the SMUs is automatic. You do not have to worry about synchronizing the SMUs as you would if you were using single SMUs.
Superior measurement throughput, several times better than earlier instruments
The E5260A, E5262A and E5263A models all provide measurement performance that is 2-3 times faster than that of the Keysight 4142B. In addition, these units are code-compatible with the 4142B, allowing you to drop them right into your existing 4142B measurement environment with minimal code modification, realizing an immediate improvement in test throughput. The E5270B, while not as fast as the E5260 Series products, does provide a measurement speed improvement over the 4142B and it is also code-compatible.
Unsurpassed measurement performance (E5270B)
The E5270B member of this product family provides unsurpassed DC voltage and current measurement. Both the MPSMU and HRSMU modules have a 0.5 microvolt voltage measurement resolution, as well as new 0.5 V and 5V measurement ranges that improve voltage measurement accuracy on modern semiconductor devices. The HRSMU module provides 1 femtoamp current measurement resolution without the need for any external preamplifiers. This innate capability allows you to meet the measurement challenges posed by the vast majority of current and future devices. The HRSMU accepts an optional external ASU that enables 0.1 femtoamp (100 attoamp) current measurement resolution, and also supports switching between capacitance meter-based (CV) and SMU-based (IV) measurements without the need to change any cables.
Improved testing efficiency through innovative features
For all members of the product family, each SMU is equipped with its own analog-to-digital converter (ADC), which speeds up test times and even supports true parallel measurement. Program memory has also been enhanced to accelerate the measurement process, allowing you to reduce the number of commands sent across the GPIB bus. Engineers can take advantage of a simple front-panel interface to perform and report spot measurements and to view other items of interest (such as error messages) when debugging the instrument performance under automated control. All product family members also possess a 25-pin DIN connector that supports up to 8 trigger signals or 16 digital I/O lines, to support the most challenging triggering requirements.

I recently finished a historical fiction book about Zelda Fitzgerald. She was the wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald who is most famous for writing The Great Gatsby (he’s one of my favorite writers too).
When I was in college I had to do a research paper about a woman married to a famous man. That’s when I stumbled across Zelda. She was an amazing woman that was full of life and potential. F. Scott Fitzgerald coined the term “flapper” and supposedly based it on Zelda. She was considered the definition of a modern woman during the early 1920’s. Zelda was a good writer that I believe never got the recognition she deserved. Unfortunately, the later half of her life was fill of tragedy as she was considered crazy. She spent the last years of her life in and out of sanitariums.
The book Z A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald By Therese Anne Fowler takes a nontraditional take on her life. It takes what history has said about Zelda and turned it upside down. I found the book thoroughly interesting and highly recommend it.

LeBron James's stream of accolades is set to continue Wednesday if the Miami Heat player scores his 20,000th point, making him the youngest pro-baller to hit the milestone.
The 28-year-old power forward is 18 points away from the mark, which he's most likely to hit when the Heat takes on the Golden State Warriors.
So far, the title belongs to Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant, who scored his 20,000th point when he was 29 years old. Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan also reached the milestone before they turned 30.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar currently holds the NBA record on the all-time scoring list with 38,387 points, a feat James says he's not sure he wants to actively take on.
