The 3D printing concept of custom manufacturing is exciting to nearly everyone. The focused production that the company engages in has enabled it attain high growth and consistent performance with a constant growth rate in the profitability Sandhusen, 2000. The company selected the 3D technology as the next frontier on which it will develop. General Principles of 3D Printing 7 6. Now, the printing world has evolved more than we ever imagined! For example, if I wanted to print a fork, I could design it any way I want to.
The analysis of the strategy will be conducted continually using the attainment of the tactics as the main basis. With the length of time it takes to come up with an idea to creating that idea to it being outsourced for manufacturing 3D printers decrease time and money by essentially cutting out the middle man making it so much easier for the consumer. As a result, the use of the technology has been crippled over the years. As the printer gets more science improvements and smarter; maybe later in the years, there could probably be more people surviving and not having to wait for a person to donate their original organs for their transplant. The Cost of 3D Printers 14 10.
The overall 3D printing market for medical applications has been categorized on the basis of its applications, raw materials, and technology. The technology has led to the development of product that are inhibitive to the creativity of the generic product since the models are designed to fit into the common products. It is a small evolutionary step from spraying ink on paper to putting down layers of something more substantial such as plastic resin until the layers add up to an object. In 2000s, along with mass launches of portable 3D printers from several companies, 3D printer has stepped on consumer product market; also, printed objects have At the same time, 3D systems also launched its first personal 3D printer to become one of fast movers to better understand the barriers to broad utilization. However, the idea of applying 3 dimensional printing to the health industry is still quite new and yet to have a major impact. While there are a number of consumers who will no doubt employ 3D printing in this way as it becomes more prevalent, most consumers buy products for utility. Resistance of the users to change could affect the business since most of the people will search for products that are more conventional.
This was yet another important milestone in the 3-D printing technology because it once again allowed for more customers to have easier access to 3-D printing at a minimal expense. Eventually, the production system has been used to create new fashionable products. In addition, the new technology will not release toxic vapors into the environment when incinerated McInnes, 2008. Bio-printing visionary Organovo, pursued the assistance of Dr. This futuristic idea is not only innovating the scientific and technological world, but it is also innovating modern day households. Traditional machines, however, uses a subtractive process by cutting or removing a specific material to shape the desired object.
It will also develop the software for the design of the products. Experts agree that rising Chinese labor costs and improving, technology will gradually cause significant manufacturing activity to return to their own countries. The implications of 3-D printing can first be seen on a smaller scale, but with time, as the technology advances, it could be used to create entire buildings. As this transition continues, the market will expand, the technology will continue to improve, and 3D printing will continue to gain in notoriety. This product has yet to release cost information, however 3D printers have been used for many different purposes.
Shapeways is currently working with many different building materials such as plastics, stainless steel, silver, ceramics, and glass, with different finishes for each to service the community. This means that a glucose-sensitive pancreatic organ can be grown in a lab then transplanted anywhere inside the body to regulate the glucose level of blood. Since there will be significant legal and economic implications on the business sector and 3D printers offer the ability to produce a wide range of objects that cannot be controlled yet, the paper noted that there are definitely national security risks that need to be analyzed in the near future. Current manufacturing processes for many products are subtractive. A Brief About The RepRap. The selection of the website is influenced by factors such as costs of advertising and the ease of management.
In particular, 3D printing is a perfect and cheap way to supply those in need with artificial arms and legs. Now scientists are working to apply similar 3-D—printing technology to the field of medicine, accelerating an equally dramatic change. The technology has been adopted in the production of personalized medicine dosages and development of unique drug forms. With a 2D printer, what was printed out on a piece of paper was put together and designed on a computer program such as Microsoft Word or Presentations. It will also demand more interaction between the supplier and the customer. These are just some of the examples of how rapidly 3D printing has developed since its emergence in early 1980s. I highlight in my project seven different areas that 3D printing is already being used and is reshaping those industries.
By allowing individuals everywhere to purchase the future 3-D printers cheaply, Dr. The file that the printed image or information was created in holds the instructions that the printer is to follow. Therefore, the companies will still experience growth with the rapid acceptance of the technology in the market place. A 3D printer works by taking a 3D computer file and using and making a series of cross-sectional slices. Some of the printers are fast and more effective than others.
The technology will be distributed such that there will be no homogeneity in the market. As of yet, 3D printers are still limited with product sizes that they can create. I like that its impact is not limited to one area. The differences between 3D printing and traditional production is that the objects created the traditional way, once completed, will sometimes have to be further. As such, companies should approach this technology with caution, monitoring and gathering information in order to determine if prototyping is appropriate.
They will continuously make profit for company; even the revenue of materials and service is greater than the revenue of machine. Environmental The business environment is conducive for the development of the technology. It also manufactures parts for the printers that run on the nanotechnology platform.

The Textures of Illumina is the latest solo effort by Edward Ka-Spel, the driving force behind the Legendary Pink Dots. On this vinyl-only release, Edward indulges himself in musical experimentation. "The Boomerang Effect" and "The Train to Never" contain typical nihilistic Ka-Spel poetry while "Right On, Food" and "Icing" are extended Nurse With Wound type experiments in musique concrète, loops, samples, and noise. "The Boomerang Effect" has minimal instrumentation with an ambient atmosphere at the end. "Right On, Food" commences with a Ka-Spel signature sequence and evolves into a binge of processed voices and electronics. "The Train to Never" begins with Edward whispering and is the closest on this EP to a Legendary Pink Dots song. "Icing" closes out side two with what appears to be heavily processed sounds from the Ka-Spel household combined with other loops and effects. This release may not appeal to those unfamiliar with Edward's experimental side, but it is a must for the diehard collector. You even get to hear Edward and Elke's son Calyxx on "Icing" as well as see a photo of the proud father and son on the liner notes. Though not one of Edward's better releases, it is refreshing to see an artist continue to try new musical directions and not be constrained by the demands of his fans.


Teethers, they are every teething baby's must have! Their gums itch so badly when the little teeth are on its way out, thus our precious baby turns to bite their thumbs, fingers, or anything that they can possibly get their tiny hands on — the end result is a wet mess of drool at wherever their mouth has been!
A good teether can help to ease a baby's itching gum and it'd be so satisfying that the baby is willing to choose it over his thumb. Teethers come in every form — with cooling gel or without, with a rattle component or without — and these ones from Little Bearnie are Ethan's current fav! They can keep him occupied for a long time and I do like the little touch of (name) personalisation in the teether. Read on for more.
Ethan is picky even when it comes to teethers. If a particular teether is unable to satiate his annoying itching gum, he dumps that teether aside, moves back to his hands and forever remembers that teether as "the lousy one". If I ever tried giving that teether back, he screams at me (poor mommy!).
Hence whenever I hand Ethan a teether, it is more of a trial and error process. As you might probably have guessed, we have a ton of teethers at home now because of his fussiness — seven at the moment (not inclusive of the ones from Little Bearnie).
I feel safe giving Ethan the teethers from Little Bearnie as it is made of high quality 100% food-grade silicone that is safe and BPA-free.
For the teething clipping set, the silicone teether is also designed with a textured surface to help soothe any teething pain – Ethan loves to use the textured side to rub the side of his gum which annoys him the most!
In addition, the colourful appearance is attractive to babies and looks good when brought out (for shopping excursions)!
For superrrrr particular parents (eg. my husband, the kiasu dad) who need to know what other chemical-free substances this product is from, you'll be pleased to know that the teethers from Little Bearnie are also PVC, Vinyl, Phthalate, Cadmium and Lead free.
They are easily washable with soap and water, and can be chilled for added relief.
It's been two weeks since I introduced the Little Bearnie Teething Clip Set to my little one. His reaction to it now is still the same as his very first time. He fiddles it around in his little hands, chomps down on it, and his round eyes turn bright as he realises that it CAN ease his gum discomfort.
Ethan twists and turns it around, making good use of every side of the teether – from the bumpy underside on the ice cream teether to the smaller name beads – to get to every nook and cranny in his mouth that is causing him unease.
Because the teether is clipped onto him, he can reach for it easily if the teether were to slip out of his hands. I've never seen him so satisfied with a teether and it can keep him entertained for a really long time!
Another option for mummies to consider is this Teething Necklace. Do note: This is for mummies to wear, but for your little one to bite!
You know how sometimes you have that dress which dreadfully needs a statement necklace to make it look good? Yet you hesitate wearing the necklace as you know that your curiosity-charged baby will reach for it and definitely put your chunky (toxic-filled) necklace in his/her mouth.
This food-grade silicone teething necklace from Little Bearnie is your saviour! Use it safely as a fashion accessory around your baby because you know that it is baby teething-friendly.
Or if not you can also use the teething necklace as a distraction from your little one biting you (trust me, their "vampiric" days will come) when you are carrying him in your arms.
Take a look here at the vast collection of teethers by Little Bearnie.
Keen to purchase a teether for your baby? Then hey, I've got a promo code just for you!

Facial cleansing devices are not new in the market. We started off with the manual fine-bristle brushes to electronic bristle brushes, and now we've got this soft silicone device from NuSkin.
At first glance, it didn't look too promising in cleansing (I mean c'mon, we are comparing a soft silicone head with fine bristles – the logic behind friction had me gunning for the latter) but one week with this cleansing device changed my impression of it FOREVER.
My face was cleaner than when I had used the electronic bristle brushes AND my skin glowed. I kid you not, it radiated like I had gone through a facial session. I was so tempted to get a device of my own, but the thing is... they ran out of stocks (at that point when I asked). It only goes to show how popular/wanted this device is!
To know more about this revolutionary device, read on.
The ageLOC LumiSpa device is a waterproof, handheld facial skin cleansing device that is the "first of its kind" in the line of skincare devices. his nifty dual-action skincare gadget comes with a charging base and is able to help treat and cleanse our facial skin at the same time!
Validated by clinical studies, it delivers a skin-perfecting treatment with superior cleansing benefits that I could visibly notice after just one use.
I love it when brands back their products with science experiments. In the case of Nu Skin, they conducted several clinical studies during the development of ageLOC LumiSpa – and it included a 12-week study with individuals (who had used the product) reporting improvements in skin smoothness, softness, texture, clarity and radiance.
The ageLOC LumiSpa treatment heads move at a precise frequency like a facial massage... but BETTER. The device uses a (patent-pending) counter-rotating action to purify pores — removing dirt, oil, makeup, pollutants and toxins in the process. It also delivers seven skin benefits which they claim would intensify with continued use.
The treatment heads are made of a nonabrasive silicone surface that is more gentle and hygienic than your typical brush. Each head has a projected life of three months and is embedded with antimicrobial silver.
The treatment cleanser come in five formulations to suit different skin types: dry, normal to combination, oily, sensitive and acne-prone.
One week with the ageLOC LumiSpa device and I was so deeply in love with it. In fact, I fell in love with it from my very first try!
As mentioned previously, I was hesitant about this device initially. I was skeptical about the results that a face cleansing device could possibly bring – it sounded too good to be true! Even my "logic comes before everything" husband raised his eyebrow at me when I told him about it.
Then again, you can probably already guess my next line. The benefits that they claim to be able to bring... it is TRUE! Hence the descriptive word "revolutionary".
I have been waiting forever for the next product in the beauty world to completely wow me, and this one does the job so well. With this device and 2 minutes of your daily life, I can imagine less zits, lesser blackheads and perfectly glowing skin every day of my life.
I like how the device has been timed to give a gentle buzz every 30 seconds to signify "hey it's time to move on and cleanse another spot". It rids me of the necessity to either stare at clock or to even count in my head – and of the two, I will more likely do the latter, thus making the timing absolutely inaccurate due to my tendency of counting really fast.
Is it necessary to use their treatment cleanser? Yes if you want to reap the full benefits of the device. I have tried with and without the cleanser and I must admit that their cleanser does play a significant part for treatment. Without their facial cleanser, well... the device does a good job in cleansing but not so good in terms of treatment.
I have also tried to remove a full face of makeup and I would say that it did a pretty good job. However just to be on the safe side, you might want to use some micellar water makeup remover to get rid of your eye makeup before stepping into the bathroom with this device.
Speaking of bathrooms, do note that the device is water resistant but not entirely waterproof. Hence do not leave it to charge in your bathroom for safety reasons.
For more information on ageLOC LumiSpa, you can click here.
The starter pack which includes the device and a treatment cleanser (of your skin type) is currently retailing at $372 – which to me, is a small price to pay for perfect skin every day!
Mummy Chronicles: Milk-Weaning With Baby Ethan, We Are Now On Solid Food!
This is a big milestone for every baby – their first bite of solid food! Parents panic and research a whole lot. What can we feed them? What can they eat? How to feed them? Which style/approach of weaning should you choose to adopt?
For some, the transition is difficult. And for others, it is easy peasy like ABC. Fortunately for us, Ethan was the latter. He began showing an interest in food at an early age approximately around 3 months. Our visit to his paediatrician during his fourth month granted us the approval to begin solid-feeding. My baby boy was ecstatic!
We started off with jar foods as we were keen to know what he was or wasn't interested in. Apple puree was our first choice and that was a terrible idea! Ethan screamed at us so badly and rejected the food. We were afraid that he wasn't ready for food yet, and confused at the same time because he showed keen interest in the apple puree. We switched it out to pear puree and it was an instant hit!
Later on, we found out why he had put up such a huge protest against the apple puree... it was sour af. (Point to note: Never feed a fussy baby apple puree from a jar. ) He is fine with homemade apple puree, made out of either Organic Fuji Apple or Jazz apple. Yes, my baby boy is that picky and that specific – I blame his dad for the genes (LOL).
For some brands, their baby rice contains milk powder inside (eg. Nestle) so all you've got to do is add your own water into the mix. We chose baby rice that came without milk powder as we would rather have the hassle in preparation and to provide Ethan with a more nutritious formula milk (or even expressed breastmilk)!
Baby rice comes in either a finely-milled powder form, or "crystal-like" granulated bits. Personally I prefer the powder form as the porridge made would often appear smoother.
Ethan accepted the baby rice without a hitch and soon, we began adding vegetable purée into the porridge to give his food more nutrition. As dessert, we would give him three spoonfuls of fruit purée to prevent constipation.
I have begun cooking my own chicken broth to add into his purée and of late, we've also tried adding in chicken breast meat and salmon. I'm going to be very honest and share that both types of protein contributed little to no additional flavour to the porridge. I aren't expecting Ethan's porridge to taste salty or anything, but I was hoping to give it some depth of flavour such as how the addition of pumpkin purée makes the porridge sweet!
In the coming weeks, I'll be sharing a couple of my baby recipes. One of them is Ethan's favourite – Chicken, Corn and Carrot Purée blended with Homemade Chicken Broth!
For now, here is a simple starter baby purée: "Pumpkin & Broccoli Purée". Click the video to watch how I made it and do subscribe to support us!

The backdrop for miners is ready to brighten in the second half of this year. They just need a resolution of the trade war between the US and China to light a fire under their stocks.
Metal prices and mining equities have been at the mercy of trade headlines all year, and business fundamentals have a taken a back seat. To be sure, easier central bank policies around the world have helped some metals, especially gold and silver. But a resolution of the trade tension between US and China – or at least some steps to bring down the temperature – could prove the ultimate catalyst for the metals and mining complex.
The S&P 500 Metals & Mining Index is up 12% so far this year, lagging the S&P 500 return of 19%. But that performance was mainly driven by gold stocks, while base metals underperformed. The BI Global Base Metals Competitive Peer Index is down 5.5% this year, while the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF is higher by 21%.
In fact, the discrepancy in performance between gold and base metal prices has widened heading into the second half of this year. Gold had a blockbuster start to the summer owing to expectations of a US Federal Reserve rate cut, while base metals investors stayed cautious due to the potential impact of disputes on the commercial demand for metals. That's led some industry analysts to ratchet up their preference for gold in the second half and into 2020 while remaining cautious on the base metals outlook.
The supply and demand outlook for base metals is relatively tight, which means a healthy market for miners, according to a report from RBC's Mining & Materials Equity Team. The outlook for gold in the near-term has improved due to expectations for lower rates, but there's also risk to precious metals if geopolitical tensions in the Persian Gulf subside, the team said.
BMO analysts led by Colin Hamilton agreed with that view. Precious metals prices have been quickly helped by rate cut expectations, but investors "still face a world where the industrial economy remains nervous about the impact of trade friction," they said.
RBC's team has become "more constructive" on gold prices heading into the second half of 2019 and for 2020. The team also thinks base metals can go higher in the second half of 2019, since most of the macroeconomic concerns have been reflected in prices. But the recent rally in iron ore seems to be unsustainable and could turn back in the third quarter, RBC said.
BMO also prefers precious metals, believing that the sentiment for gold has shifted to a new, higher range. The bank has a stable outlook for base metals but thinks any outperformance in the sector may have to wait until trade tension lifts. But in the copper market, BMO says the recent sell-off in copper prices is unjustified and expects higher prices into the year-end, with or without a trade accord.
Easier trade rhetoric could translate into some downside for gold and silver, and a big rally in base metals. A continuation of the status quo might translate into further declines for base metal miners or, at best, leave the sector waiting for the next shoe to drop.

Create a 10 second time vector in MATLAB. Use fs (sampling rate) = 1000 Hz.
Using the formula for a chirp from last lab create a chirp signal from this time vector.
Use the initial starting frequency f0= 10 Hz and a modulation index, µ=1.
Plot this signal in both the time and frequency domains. In the frequency domain you should see a continuous band of frequencies starting at 10 Hz.
Use the square() function to generate a train of pulses at a frequency well above the Nyquist rate. Choose the duty cycle to be very small (0.1 for example), to simulate ideal sampling.
Plot the pulse train on a new figure in both the time and frequency domain.
Multiply the square wave generated in task 2 with the chirp you generated in task 1. Use the following frequencies for the pulse rate (sampling rate): 50 Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz.
Again plot the time graph and frequency spectra of these sampled signals.
Down Sampling is used to decrease sampling rate and Up Sampling is used to increase the sampling rate.
Interpolation increases the original sampling rate for a sequence to a higher rate. interp performs lowpass interpolation by inserting zeros into the original sequence and then applying a special lowpass filter.
Image files can be read using imgread() function.
The function imshow() can be used to display the image in a new figure window.
Use a small bitmap file for use.
Use previously used down sampling, up sampling and interpolation techniques to resize image and then, create a larger image using upsampling and interpolation technique and see the difference.
For the lab report add all the codes and figures of class tasks and home tasks.
Since there are many figures, printed copy is mandatory and copying from others will be heavily penalized.
For a bit more of a challenge try the colour image, you will need to take into account the three layers (red, green, blue) when downsampling and restructuring this image.
Down sampling of audio file.
speech as opposed to the music.
two different types of signals.
Try saving downsampled, upsampled, interpolated image and sound files using wavwrite and imwrite function.
N.B.: This lab exercise is heavily influenced by Laboratory Exercise from Mr. Refat Kibria, Department of CSE, SUST.

From the East: The History of the Latter-day Saints in Asia, 1851-1996
J. Michael Allen
For those interested in the international growth of the LDS Church, the publication of this long-awaited book was welcome news R. Lanier Britsch, professor of history at Brigham Young University and former director of that university's David M. Kennedy Center for International Studies is well qualified to chart the course of the Church's history in Asia. This volume, originally part of the Church sesquicentennial project, adds a great deal to our understanding of LDS history in that region.
Properly eschewing the notion that Asia can be treated as a unit, Britsch adopts a combination chronological-regional approach to his subject. Following a brief introduction that situates the LDS Church in Asia in a broad historical context, the book is divided into a series of regional chapters. Where more than one chapter covers a particular country or region, each chapter in that section deals with a different time period. Within chapters, the subject treatment is largely topical, covering such concerns as missionary work, the acquisition of property, the growth of missions and stakes, visits and direction from general authorities, translation and publications, and so on. The concluding chapter is a short reflection on the author's own involvement in Asia, and especially on President Gordon B. Hinckley's special concern for the Church and its members throughout Asia and his importance in the history of the Church there.

When There's Nowhere Left to Hide . . .
When Rob Hale wakes up in hospital after a motorcycle crash he is told that Lena, the woman he claims was travelling with him, doesn't exist. The woman he describes bears a striking resemblance to his recently deceased sister, Laura, but has he really only imagined her?
Rob sets out to find the answers to who Lena is and where she has gone. He is aided by Rebecca Lewis, a London-based PI, who has come to the Isle of Man at the behest of his parents to investigate his sister's suicide. But who is Rebecca really and how did she know his sister?
Together Rob and Rebecca follow the clues to discover who took Lena. In doing so they discover that even on an island where most people know each other, everyone hides a secret, and that sometimes your best option isn't to hide but to stay and fight.

Vanderbilt supports alternative work arrangements as viable options for employees in some situations based upon the needs of the job, work group or organization. This policy establishes the guidelines for alternative work arrangements.
Either the employee or the supervisor may request consideration for an alternative work arrangement. These work arrangements include flexible work schedules, job sharing, and telecommuting agreements. The alternative work arrangement will continually be assessed to determine that the needs of the department and the organization are being met.
1. Flexible Work Schedule: Unit work schedules are determined by the business needs of the work group and are managed accordingly. Once schedules are defined and communicated to employees, an employee who requests a deviation in that schedule must do so in writing to the supervisor for approval. Examples of flexible work schedules include variable arrivals i.e. 7:00 a.m. through 10:00 a.m., four 10-hour shifts, three 12-hour shifts and the like.
2. Job Sharing: Job sharing involves two or more employees working a portion of a 1.0 full-time equivalent position. The employees agree to combine their efforts to cover the work load for that full time position. Employees must have their work schedule approved by their manager prior to beginning the job share arrangement. This option must be approved by the administrator for the area and reviewed by the department Human Resources Consultant. Characteristics of an employee well-suited for job sharing typically include the ability to work with minimal supervision, excellent communication skills and the ability to follow through with work activities. Benefit eligibility will be based on the percentage of an employee's full-time status according to the PTO policy. 1 If one job share member terminates the arrangement, the supervisor will evaluate the arrangement.
3. Telecommuting: Telecommuting is a regular, routine work arrangement that allows the employee to fulfill his/her primary job responsibility at a location other than his/her Vanderbilt work site, such as at home. The needs of the department and the institution will be taken into account when this work arrangement is approved. This option must be approved by the administrator for the area and reviewed by the Human Resource Consultant for that department. Employees members suited for telecommuting are self disciplined, self motivated and comfortable working alone. Job characteristics of a position suited for telecommuting typically require minimum supervision and minimum face-to-face contact. Telecommuting may include work activities with clearly defined measurable deliverables such as word processing, editing, data entry, coding and other tasks of this nature.
A. Telecommuters who work from home are responsible for having a designated work area. Telecommuters who require home adjustments are responsible for any costs related to remodeling and the initial setup of designated workspace. Tax implications related to the off-site work area are the responsibility of the employee, who is advised to consult a tax professional 2 .
B. Any work-related accident, injury, or illness which occurs while telecommuting should be reported immediately to the employee's supervisor so that a first report of injury can be completed. Reference should be made to the Work Related Accident and Return to Work policy.
C. Equipment needs for telecommuting are determined on a case by case basis between the supervisor and employee. Vanderbilt will not provide telecommuting equipment unless it is justified based on the needs of the department and the nature of the work assignment. The decision as to type, nature, function and/or quality of electronic hardware, modems, systems access, data and phone lines rests entirely with the supervisor in coordination with the appropriate central computing support department. If equipment is provided by Vanderbilt, the telecommuter agrees that the use of the equipment, software, data and supplies provided by their department is limited to authorized persons and for Vanderbilt related purposes only. Employees using their personal equipment are responsible for any loss, damage or wear to their personal equipment. Employees agree to abide by software licensing agreements.
Ongoing interaction between the employees and the department should be maintained daily by telephone and/or emails. Whenever possible, weekly face-to-face check-ins should be arranged to discuss work progress. Periodic evaluations of ongoing performance will be in accordance with the department's performance appraisal system.
1. Vanderbilt policies and procedures apply to all alternative work arrangements. The supervisor and employee should agree upon and document a schedule of regular work hours. Any changes of work hours or work location should be reviewed and approved by the supervisor in advance 3 .
2. Telecommuters generally spend the entire telecommuting day at the same remote work location. Business travel should be specifically authorized by the supervisor. Establishing a remote work location in a telecommuter's home does not make the telecommuter's regular commute to the primary work location a business trip.
3. Nonexempt employees may be required to work beyond the customary 40-hour workweek to ensure successful completion of job responsibilities. However, any overtime work must be pre-authorized by the supervisor and reported as hours worked.
NOTE: These arrangements do not change the basic terms and conditions of the employee's employment with Vanderbilt, nor are they guaranteed to any employees for any specific time. If at any time alternative work arrangements do not meet the needs of the institution they can be discontinued at the discretion of the department.
This policy is intended as a guideline to assist in the consistent application of University policies and programs for employees. The policy does not create a contract implied or expressed, with any Vanderbilt emplolyees, who are employees at will. Vanderbilt reserves the right to modify this policy in whole or in part, at any time, at the discretion of the University.
1 For benefit eligibility please contact the Human Resources.
2 A copy of the IRS publication #587, Business Use of Your Home, can be obtained by calling the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
3 Nonexempt employees are required to record their work hours in accordance with timesheet processing guidelines for the nonexempt payroll process.


Yeast has been utilized as far back as ancient Egypt to leaven bread and ferment wine. Saccharomyces cerevisiae remains the most used organism in the food industry. Its exceptional fermentative and nutritional qualities make yeast a valuable source of ingredients for pet nutrition too. But not all yeast nor yeast products are equivalent.
Live yeast, or probiotics: Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii is the most documented and used probiotic yeast in human and positive results in dogs have been published, supporting beneficial effects in promoting digestive health.
Whole cell inactive yeasts: Can be used as flavor enhancers or as a natural source of nutrients such as B vitamins, high quality protein and minerals. In addition, yeast can be enriched in vitamins or minerals, for instance selenium-enriched yeast is a source of highly bioavailable selenium (antioxidant and immune function).
Yeast extracts are comprised of more than 60% proteins. They represent a valuable source of proteins, nutrients and minerals and can also be used as natural flavor enhancers.
Yeast cell walls are rich in beta-glucans and mannan oligo saccharides, also called MOS, which are well known for their pathogen-binding and immune-modulation activities. They can contribute to microbiota balance and digestive well-being. Production processes have a great influence on the end-product qualities, the MOS contents and, hence, efficacy. In particular, yeast cell walls issued from a primary production process with a selected yeast strain should be preferable (compared to byproducts from brewery or distillery production), thanks to the specific and carefully controlled production process which ensures a consistent quality, purity and homogeneity of the final product.

QUETTA: Saulat Mirza death row convict will be executed in Machh Jail on th May 12, Aaj News reported.
Mirza will be sent to the gallows on th May 12, as arrangements have been made for his execution.
He will be hanged around 4:30am, in the presence of a judicial magistrate.
The Anti Terrorism Court on May 12 for the third time issued a black warrant for Mirza's execution.
Mirza has been convicted for assassinating Shahid Hamid, Managing Director of Karachi Electric Supply Corporation and his driver in July 1997.
The death row inmate moments before his execution opened a Pandora box against the chief of Muttahida Qaumi Movement causing a stay on his execution. He alleged that murder took place on direct orders of the MQM cheif.
A Joint Investigation Team was forced to probe Mirza's allegations.
Mirza's wife filed a mercy plea to get his death sentence revoked. The plea was rejected by the court.


It is everyone's civic duty to keep their community and state clean and litter free. You are responsible for your output on the environment. It should be common sense, but there are still people who consistently pollute.
There are lots of advantages of Solar lights. One of the foremost profits to including this kind of light into your home is that you may realize a drastic diminution in your overall energy charges.
There are many benefits of Solar lights. One of the main advantages to incorporating this type of lighting into your home is that you will see a drastic reduction in your overall energy costs.
As we become more environmentally aware we look for new ways to reduce the world's dependency on fossil fuel. Hopefully, new technology advancements will soon make solar power systems commonplace world-wide. Several methods have been developed to harness the sun's power and convert it to solar power energy that can be used for our daily needs.

Images show evidence of what could be one of Canada's oldest graveyards
Archeologist Sara Beanlands says there is compelling evidence to at the unmarked site in western Nova Scotia
Researchers using ground-penetrating radar have found what they believe is one of the oldest European graveyards in Canada.
Archeologist Sara Beanlands says there is compelling evidence to suggest the unmarked site in western Nova Scotia is the final resting place for Acadian settlers buried near a fort as early as the 1680s.
The radar images, gathered one day last month at the Fort Anne National Historic Site in Annapolis Royal, show neat rows of 19 ghostly green and red shapes.
"With respect to Acadian history, this was — and (nearby) Port Royal is — the cradle of Acadian civilization," says Beanlands, senior archeologist at Halifax-based Boreas Heritage Consulting.
"Many of the Acadians today who can trace their ancestry back to Port Royal, their ancestors will be buried somewhere in that Acadian cemetery."
Originally built by the Scots as early as 1629, Fort Anne was later taken over by the French, before it fell to British troops in 1710.
"It's one of the most contested landscapes in this part of the world," Beanlands says. "People have been drawn to this area for thousands of years … This was home for the Mik'maq long before any European explorers."
She says the underground anomalies picked by the ground-penetrating radar — a device that looks like an electric lawn mower — could be an extension of a nearby British cemetery.
The well-known Garrison Graveyard has 230 headstones that date back to 1720.

At the turn of the 17th century, the Acadians used wooden grave markers, which have long since rotted away.
However, church records and maps from the early 1700s indicate an Acadian cemetery was also located outside the walls of the star-shaped fort, a reconstructed fortification that became Canada's first administered national historic site in 1917.
Beanlands' research included the use of aerial drones and Lidar — short for Light Detection and Ranging — to produce an extremely accurate picture of the site's contours.
The radar was used to produce a three-dimensional cross-section of the plot, which is about 10 metres by 18 metres and extends three metres underground.
"For the first time, we have been able to take this technology … into Fort Anne and see through a new set of eyes in a way that is completely non-destructive," Beanlands says. "It gives us the ability to see things we have never been able to see before."
Though the glowing anomalies don't show much, their arrangement is unmistakable. At a depth of one metre, the irregular shapes appear at regular intervals — and they are aligned along a north-south axis that is in line with the British graves.
"We're familiar with what burials look like in the data," says Beanlands. "The most compelling evidence is … the patterning of the anomalies."
However, the only way to confirm the presence of graves would be to conduct an expensive and time-consuming archeological dig. But that's not going to happen, Beanlands says.
"So we could never know — we could never say with absolute certainty," she says. "What we need is more data."
An expanded search could start as early as next month, with help from Parks Canada, the Nova Scotia Community College's Applied Geomatics Research Group and Mapannapolis, a volunteer organization that creates web-based maps of heritage sites.

An Oakley bookstore will pilot a peer mentor program with two Cincinnati Public Schools.
Blue Manatee Bookstore won a grant through Penguin Random House to support the "Near Peer" program. Author and illustrator Erin Barker said it is a project that will not let poverty get in the way of a good education.
"We are super excited to be able to put books in the hands of kids who may not have access to good books. That bond between the older and younger child is huge," said Barker.
The iconic bookstore reopened last April as a non-profit organization with a new mission.
On Tuesday, students from the Oyler School and Rothenberg Preparatory Academy filled the bookstore. Each one wearing "I'm a mentor" or "I'm a reader" t-shirts.
Miami University Urban Cohort Director Tammy Schwartz said each student has a purpose for this new project.
"These kids have strengths. Shame on us if we don't utilize those strengths and build them up as leaders in their own communities. We should be doing that across the entire city in Cincinnati," said Schwartz.
The "Near Peer" program builds a relationship between students and stories.

7 achievable ways to reach your 10,000 daily steps2019-12-282020-02-06https://zinzino.blog/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/zinzino-logo.pngZinzino Bloghttps://zinzino.blog/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/10000-steps.jpg200px200px
If you've got an iPhone, the Health app comes automatically. We've got our phones on us most of the time, so it does a pretty good job at tracking our daily steps.
But it misses many of those little steps that compound, walking throughout the house or office. Opening the app at the end of an active day can send you into an 'I need to join the gym' panic.
The truth is, our modern lifestyle isn't conducive to 10,000 daily steps. Many of us drive to work and even if you don't, you probably live within 10 minutes of public transport. We sit all day in offices, then come home and switch to another screen: Netflix!
Getting your steps in is a conscious choice.
Make a commitment to focus on your 10,000 steps, not 'I'll work out three days a week.' This will shift your perspective and integrate smaller, manageable lifestyle changes. Need help putting one foot in front of the other? Start with a one-week challenge following these seven tips.
Track your daily steps
Grab yourself a FitBit so you can get clear on how many steps you're really walking. You want to record every single one. Yes, even those 20 steps to and from the bathroom.
Pick a friend to walk with
Got a close friend nearby? Make a weekly commitment to make movement part of your catch-up. Ask your friend to get a FitBit, too, so you can sync up and support each other.
Walk to public transport
Leave your car at home and get up 20-30 minutes earlier every day to get your steps in. You might be surprised how much you actually love a time, just for you. Put some music in or play your favourite podcast and have a few thousand steps logged before 9.00am.
Get a dog
You don't need to be motivated by steps to get a gorgeous little pup. Getting your steps in will be a natural part of owning a dog. Take him for daily walks to explore, without feeling like you're even exercising.
Ask yourself: how can I get a few more steps in today?
Having this question in the back of your mind will help you make more conscious decisions. Is there a restaurant or shop you want to visit, but it's a 10-minute walk? Don't Uber; walk there instead.
The morning coffee run!
Coffee lovers, this one will be easy to do. If you have a local café that's become part of your morning routine, walk there before you start work. You'll love feeling part of the community (and looking at your FitBit) after this morning habit.
Fresh air, your afternoon remedy
While coffee sets you up for a productive morning, a walk in the fresh air is the perfect 3pm-slump remedy. When you're feeling fatigued, take a little wander and get some steps in.
You can do this… one step at a time.

Now Saudi Arabia Could Punish Sexual Harassers With Rs 54 Lakh Fine, 5 Years In Jail
December 17, 2019	0	By JohnValbyNation
Saudi Arabia has passed a new law to criminalise sexual harassment, state media said Wednesday, less than a month before the conservative kingdom lifts its decades-long ban on women driving.
The kingdom's Shura Council, which advises the cabinet, passed a draft law on Monday which would introduce a prison term of up to five years and a maximum penalty of 300,000 riyals (USD 80,000 or Rs 54 lakh approx).
The law has been approved by the cabinet, the official Saudi Press Agency reported.

It is "a very important addition to the history of regulations in the kingdom", Shura Council member Latifa al-Shaalan was quoted as saying in an information ministry statement.

By far the most common accidents are motor vehicle collisions. Known as MVA's or motor vehicular accidents, more people die each year in MVAs than have died in U.S. wars in the past 100 years. MVAs occur more frequently in Las Vegas than in other jurisdiction in the State of Nevada. Car injury lawyers abound in the State so choosing the right one can be difficult.
Drunk driving accounts for a large portion of the fatalities on Las Vegas highways. Previous clients have suffered from hazardous and sometimes even fatal drunk driving accidents. Often, the drunk driver will leave the scene, resulting in even more charges after the incident. Not only do drunks cause direct damage, their paths can be very destructive. Power poles, construction signs, pick-up trucks, and other vehicles that are used to maintain highways and freeways often become targets for the impaired. Additionally, police, Nevada Highway Patrol and often pedestrians become the victims of drunk driving accidents. Drunks normally do not have the best insurance coverage, if at all; consequently, many victims feel there is no way to seek recourse.
Pedestrian accidents with cars are very crippling. Every year the statistics get worse. Las Vegas has one of the highest incidents of pedestrian accidents due to the large volume of walking traffic on the sidewalks and crosswalks of the roads. Additionally, pedestrians walking or running are at a great risk of injury.
Injured in an Auto Accident? What to Do?
First, depending on the severity of the car accident, medical care is foremost. If you were taken by ambulance, and subsequently treated at the emergency room you likely did not receive a copy of the police report receipts, which contain the police report incident number. Do not be concerned, as we can obtain that for you based on the date and cross streets of the accident. Your Health is a vital concern, and it is important for you to seek the best Medical Care promptly for two reasons. One is your overall health. Diagnosing the common injuries is one thing and includes: a sprained neck, air bag burns, headaches, and overall soreness. These issues may go away with time, but should be addressed by a health care professional. Other injuries include: broken bones, head contusions, herniated discs, broken ribs, and internal organ injuries. These must be treated and understood early on. Clients often do not know they have these injuries due to the adrenaline the body produces after a traumatic event, and sometime refuse emergency medical care at the scene. The hospital will take X-rays, perform MRI's, and CAT scans to determine invisible injuries. The second reason it is important to see a doctor is the legal reason: documentation. Without a physician transcribing all your injuries on paper there is no record of the injuries. Therefore, it is imperative to have a medical professional diagnose and treat the injuries. Clients who wait to see a doctor can harm the personal injury claim. The reasons for avoiding care are usually because of a lack of health insurance coverage.
Second, contact our law firm to help you deal with the basics of the accident: Retrieval of your car from storage/tow truck yard, vehicle repair estimates, recorded statements with the insurance companies, and providing notice to insurers of potential claims; obtaining a rental car; arranging of the best specialized medical care. It is important to understand the liability aspects of your case. Who was at fault? Were there witnesses? How many persons were injured, and how much coverage is available for all the victims. Can you prove the other driver was negligent? Proving a driver was negligent often involves more than a police report. The officer does an investigation, but is not the determiner of fault. Occasionally, police cite the wrong party.
Here at Benson & Bingham we strive to assist with all aspects of our clients' claims arising out of a car accident. Making sure that a damaged vehicle is properly handled is one important aspect. We would like to share some of what we do to ensure that you know what to expect in the event your car has been damaged in an accident.
The handling of the damaged car is commonly known in legal world as a property damage claim. That claim is generally handled by the at-fault driver's automobile insurance company, once it has accepted responsibility for the accident. In other words, the at-fault driver's insurance company will be paying for the damage done to your vehicle. You may also have an option of getting your car handled by your insurance company, however, you have to have purchased certain coverage to be able to entertain that option.
So How is Your Car Handled Once it has been Damaged in an Accident?
First, it has to be inspected by an appraiser from an insurance company to determine the extent of the damage done to it. The extent of the damage is then recorded in the form of an estimate which helps the insurance company to determine whether the vehicle will be repairable or deemed a total loss. Under Nevada law, total loss means that the cost of the estimated repair is sixty-five percent or more of the fair market value of the vehicle at the time it was damaged. If such is the case, the insurance company will not be obligated to repair the car and will pay what it is worth instead.
In the event your car is deemed to be repairable, it will be repaired at a body shop of your choice. If your car is considered a total loss, you will be paid its fair market value, after you make a decision whether you want to keep the car or to surrender it to the insurance company. Whether or not your vehicle is deemed repairable, in most instances, you will be entitled to a rental car but certain guidelines govern what type of car you may be entitled to and the length of time you will be permitted to have it.
Once the repairs to your vehicle have been concluded or its fair market value has been paid, the property damage claim will be closed. Of course, there may be additional issues to address during the process. However, whether or not those issues arise, we will be with you every step of the way to guide you and ensure that your claim is brought to an expeditious and proper resolution.
With the combination of alcohol and driving, Las Vegas tops the charts for accidents. With over 8,000 DUI arrests every year, Clark County has its share of fender benders, vehicle crashes and fatalities. In addition, Las Vegas has gridlock streets with stoplights posted every mile, as well as the heavy use of cell phones in automobiles. Consequently, this all equates to negligent driving and reckless car crashes.
Call or email our Las Vegas, Henderson or Reno law office today if you were hit by a car and need representation. The Law offices of Benson & Bingham will check every avenue of revenue to ensure your rights are protected and met.
Complicating a personal injury matter is the event of another accident, often within a very close time frame of each other. In Nevada, the Klietz v. Raskin Case, controls. Here, the law basically states that when a tortfeasor, or accident victim, has an accident in close proximity to another, if the damages are not apportionable (e.g. the same back injuries that are indistinguishable) than the burden shifts from the plaintiff to the defendants to figure out the damages. For example, if a tractor trailer rear ends a Ford Taurus and causes the driver to sustain a cervical injury on May 1, 2008, and then on May 10th, 2008 the driver is again rear ended by a truck and aggravates the same cervical injury, then the burden is completely up to the Defendants to figure out who is responsible for the neck injury. Contact Benson & Bingham today if you have been involved in a multiple accident scenario.
Vehicle: As of July 1st, 2018, Nevada Law states that a driver must maintain minimum liability insurance coverage in the amount of $25,000 for bodily injury or death and $50,000 for two or more persons in the vehicle. This hardly provides coverage for medical bills, loss of wages, and pain and suffering. Uninsured / Under-insurance coverage is not required, nor are all medical payments covered in an accident. Contact Benson & Bingham today for a free insurance evaluation to make sure you are protected before you talk to your insurance agent. Golf carts and other recreational activities are normally not covered on an automobile insurance policy.
A commercial or business auto policy is obtained by a business or corporation that usually has multiple vehicles or multiple employees that will be operating a company vehicle. Nevada requires businesses to carry a minimum auto policy of $1,000,000. which covers bodily injury and death.
As outlined above, commercial carriers and businesses such as semi trucks, buses, work trucks, vans, shuttles and the like are required to maintain a minimum of a million dollars in coverage. Further, most businesses with multiple vehicles or a fleet will carry a few million extra in coverage under an additional excess policy of insurance. Most individuals carry a private party policy of insurance and most businesses carry a commercial policy. However, many commercially owned and operated vehicles DO NOT have, nor are they required to have any designations indicating that they are in fact a commercial vehicle. While commercial vehicles may have a companies logo displayed or a customized license plate, many do not. A vehicle ownership investigation, which we preform on every case, reveals the underlying policy which covers an injured accident victim. When opening a claim after an accident, it is critical to ensure counsel identifies the policy type and limits an injured victim is presented with. Being fully informed as to the at fault party's coverage even's the playing field in achieving top results. Let Benson & Bingham start your claim off on the right path by identifying all of the available insurance relating to your accident. We are here to help, just give us a call.
Minor and Adults: Nevada law distinguishes between minors and adults. Parents are liable for the acts of their children up to $10,000 in certain circumstances.
Hear this testimonial from retired USAF Airman Phillip Sisneros about how Benson & Bingham helped him through his horrific car accident.
A second testimonial from Ty Pierce about his experience with Benson & Bingham.
"Of my many duties, in life, I feel that I am obligated to share gratitude in expressing the joyful experience Benson & Bingham made out of a negative circumstance. I was rear ended, catered to the lack of attention belonging to another Las Vegas motorist. An employee of B&B law firm by the name of Ms. Cassidy escorted me through the involvement of loss and pain recovery with ease. With the comfort of a held hand, she followed through with random check-ups to see that my condition was modifying at a positive rate and satisfactory term. The fear from first time shock gained from the momentum of a rushing automobile that jerks its way through your nerves and veins, can leave a person and their family in panic. I feel better than I did before the vehicular incident. Once again, I'd like to lift my heart out and thank Benson & Bingham's law firm for impressing me. They brought more class, dignity and respect to Las Vegas."
Salvaged Vehicles in Nevada: What is the Value of my Car?


A few quick items. Hero of Ages has won the Romantic Times editor's choice award. Huzzah! I wasn't certain if I could announce this, but it looks like the magazine has shipped, so I think I can say it now. I'm deeply honored. The Romantic Times has done a very good job reaching across genre lines and honoring books they think deserve praise, regardless of their genre.
In similar news, I can't remember if I mentioned it or not, but HERO has also been nominated for the David Gemmell Legend Award. This is an honor for two reasons—first, because Mr. Gemmell himself was such a fantastic author. But also because this is a reader-voted award, which means that you all took the time to stop by and give me a nominating vote. That means a lot to me. Thank you so much! I believe that the final winner is also chosen by a vote from readers, so if you feel so inclined, you can vote for HERO to win. You don't even have to register to do so.
Finally, I have a small stock of copies of the ALCATRAZ VERSUS THE EVIL LIBRARIANS hardcover on hand, and that is getting hard to find in stores, so I thought I'd offer them for sale and personalization. I'll probably do another post on this later, going more in-depth, but if you haven't tried ALCATRAZ, this would be the perfect chance.
All right. I've had a few weeks to rest after the marathon working of Feb, March, and early April. So, it's time to start thinking about the future. THE GATHERING STORM is turned in. (Quick answers on two questions: First, I don't know if there will be an electronic copy released. Tor doesn't own electronic rights, these belong to Harriet, and I don't know what she and her agent have decided yet. Second, there should be an audiobook released, very close to the initial release of the hardcover.) With TGS done, it's time to look at the projects on my plate.
I've gone ahead and added a progress bar for this one. As I've said before, I've got a large chunk of it written—but that writing needs quite a bit of work. I pulled a lot of the cleanest, finished sections to use in THE GATHERING STORM. The progress bar says 49% completed, but I'd actually put that closer to 25%, if we look at work to be done and not just raw pagecount.
Obviously, SHIFTING WINDS is the most important project for me to finish. It will be getting the largest share of my attention during the next year, and I'm going to do everything in my power to turn it in a little earlier than the previous book, perhaps even allowing for a release earlier next year than November. (I don't know if getting it in early will help that or not, but I'll try.) My self-imposed goal for finishing WINDS is November 3rd, so I'll have the rough draft done and turned in before I leave on tour.
I committed to Scholastic for four books, and I will need to (sometime) think about writing the final volume. Book Three is turned in and coming out this fall. Usually, I write these two years ahead. So I turned in Book Three in fall of 2007, then didn't turn one in Fall of 2008, since I was working so hard on AMOL. But I hate not doing what I say I'll do, and I will need to write this book sometime. Scholastic probably won't start bugging me about it until July or August. But it will have to be turned in by the end of the year or I'll be in breach of contract.
So just a warning to all of you WoT fans out there—I'm sorry, I've put ALCATRAZ off for much longer than I should. You'll see me take a break this fall for a month or so and work on the final Alcatraz book. My goal is to be writing this in September/October when(hopefully) I will have a rough draft done of SHIFTING WINDS. That way, I can work on new Alcatraz material while using the other half of my brain for editing on WoT. This shouldn't be a problem at all. Normally, I'm working on two books at once—I'll be writing new material on one, then will be editing another. Writing and editing take different types of attention, and I can usually only write new material for four to six hours a day. I can use the other hours for revisions on another book.
Many of you have asked about this book. It is a very nifty gearpunk young adult book I wrote in spring of 2007, before the WoT came my way. Unfortunately, I can't justify spending time on it while I've got A MEMORY OF LIGHT to finish. People have been waiting too long for AMOL, and now that it's three volumes, I need to make sure I don't delay those volumes. To those of you who were looking forward to SCRIBBLER, I'm sorry!
This was the book I was working on for a 2010 release. Epic fantasy. I wrote it in 2007, then put it aside when the WoT was offered to me.
Frankly, I was never pleased with how this book turned out. It was a rough, rough draft—and though I finished it, it wasn't really ever 'finished.' I've tossed it back into the wood chipper of my brain. I can do better, and I just can't ask you to buy this book, as I don't feel satisfied with it. I could revise it, but that would take about six months of work—delaying the second WoT book for six months. That's unacceptable, particularly for a book I feel so unsatisfied with. You'll get a revision of this someday, perhaps.
Maybe someday. Time isn't right for any of them, I'm afraid. You'll see some of them in the future, though, and will probably get some MISTBORN short stories sometime this year.
So, that's it, right? I think I've talked about everything. Now, some of you may be wondering what this means. Is there going to be no solo Brandon Sanderson book released in 2010?
As early as last summer, Tom Doherty began asking me if there was any way I could get Tor a novel for a 2010 release. He doesn't like going years without releases, and he worried that my readers would feel dropped in favor of the Wheel of Time readers. Plus, he really wants to see something more from me.
When he first mentioned it, I laughed. He was asking me, essentially, to finish the entire Wheel of Time book by spring of 2009, then write him a solo book by fall 2009. Even then, I knew it wasn't going to happen. AMOL was too big a project.
However, now that AMOL has been split, Tom has asked more and more often about getting a Brandon Sanderson solo book to release between the WoT books. He's very worried about there being a period of three years during which I don't release anything of my own. And so, with his questions, he got me thinking. Was there anything I would feel comfortable releasing? LIAR turned out poorly, SCRIBBLER isn't epic enough, WARBREAKER 2 isn't written. What else is there?
The answer was simple. THE WAY OF KINGS.
Yes, the original contract was for KINGS—but I decided that KINGS needed to be put off. KINGS is a great book, perhaps the best I've ever written. But it just didn't FEEL right to release after ELANTRIS. THE WAY OF KINGS is a massive war epic of legends, mythology, and magical revolution. It's intricate, complex, and was a bit daunting for me when I thought about readying it for publication. Just to give you an idea, MISTBORN has three magic systems, KINGS has well over twenty. MISTBORN has six main viewpoint characters across the trilogy; KINGS has dozens. I wrote about 30k of background material for MISTBORN. Background material for KINGS is over 300k.
Difference in scope is only one of the reasons KINGS wasn't the right follow-up to ELANTRIS. After a stand-alone novel, I felt that I wanted to publish a trilogy, perhaps two, before I offered my readers the first of a big, multi-volume epic. I also worried that the initial draft of KINGS just wasn't good enough—because my skill wasn't up to making it good enough.
Working on the WHEEL OF TIME has forced me to grow immensely as a writer, however. Over the last year, the more I thought about it, the more I itched to dive in and do a revision of THE WAY OF KINGS. If I could effectively use all I've learned, I might be able to make the book become what I want it to be. And so, I told Tom about KINGS, and he eagerly offered me a new contract for it. I've warned him that it might not be ready in time to come out next year, but I'm going to give it a try.
KINGS needs a solid rewrite. I've been tweaking it over the years, worldbuilding the setting and so forth. I've been planning, working on, and revising this book for eight years . I think that if I do a rewrite now with my current writing abilities, it would turn out very, very well.
The thing is, I can't be certain. Maybe it won't work as I want. Maybe I will just have too many things on my mind. Maybe I'm not up to doing this book yet. But, because of the pleading of Tom, my readers, and (most importantly) my own heart, I'm going to give it a try.
As I said above, writing and revising take different parts of the brain. I can only write new material for a certain number of hours a day, usually around four or six. But I can revise all day long. Perhaps it's the difference between mental heavy lifting and mental long-distance running. Either way, in order to give this a try, I've hired a full-time assistant, Peter Ahlstrom, to do all the things in a day that normally take my time away from writing/revising. Usually, when I'm not revising, the 'non-writing' hours of the day are spent doing all kinds of tasks associated with being self-employed. Peter is going to be handling all of this, theoretically freeing up a few hours each day during which I can revise THE WAY OF KINGS.
This will not take my time away from writing SHIFTING WINDS. If it starts to look like it will delay that book, I will stop working on KINGS—not because of any criticism I may get from readers, but because I feel a debt to Mr. Jordan and this project I have agreed to do. I like to keep my promises.
I explain all this because I want you WoT readers to understand that I do have a life beyond the Wheel of Time. I have obligations, both to publishers and to myself. I feel very strongly that the time has come for me to show readers what I've been working on behind the scenes for many years. And so, on my blog I will spend time talking about projects other than the WHEEL OF TIME.
I like to be open. I like you to be able to see what I'm doing, and so I feel I should be up-front with you about what I plan. I've shelved a lot of books for THE WHEEL OF TIME, and rightly so. But there are two projects I WILL be spending time on this year—Alcatraz 4 and THE WAY OF KINGS. I plan to add progress bars for each of them, and link the titles here so those who come to my site later can read this explanation.
Sorry to be long winded . . . again. Occupational hazard.


The focus of international and national strategies for countering terrorism in the past decade has shifted from using hard security measures alone to combat terrorism, to a more multi-sectoral, comprehensive approach, which also includes more preventive strategies known as countering violent extremism (CVE). For example, multilateral organizations such as the United Nations are focusing on CVE through Pillar 1 of the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, which addresses "conditions conducive" to the spread of terrorism. This relatively new approach is also apparent through the formation of the Global Counter-Terrorism Forum (GCTF) as a multilateral platform for addressing counter-terrorism issues, and the subsequent establishment of Hedayah, the International Center of Excellence for Countering Violent Extremism, as the first institution to solely focus its efforts in long-term, preventive measures to foster resilience against violent extremism and terrorism. The CVE programs and policies that are emerging both out of the UN, the GCTF, Hedayah and the broader international community are based on an established basic methodology that 1) identifies push and pull factors that lead to recruitment or radicalization into violent extremism, and 2) designs interventions that specifically eliminate these root causes. This paper explores the international framework supporting the development and implementation of targeted interventions, specifically to minimize youth recruitment and radicalization into violent extremism through two program areas: 1) CVE through formal educational institutions, 2) building community resilience through families and communities. This paper also describes the recent work by Hedayah and other international bodies in these two program areas, and recommends potential next steps and ways forward to make these programs more effective.


New Zealand is known as the sea bird capital of the world. These unique birds face a wide range of threats and many species are seriously threatened both at sea and on land. Knowing where the key populations are located and where they nest and forage, is the key to ensuring their long term survival.
So the identification of marine and coastal Important Bird Areas it is an important step in their conservation. This major exercise has resulted in the publishing of the final three volumes of the Marine Important Bird Area reports covering sites at sea, coastal sites and islands; and rivers, estuaries, coastal lagoons and harbours. These reports will give community groups, DOC, lawmakers, politicians, iwi groups and councils a useful guide as to where New Zealand's seabirds breed and feed, so their protection can be ensured. It will help advocating their protection with fishers, coastal users and in the consideration of developments under New Zealand's Resource Management Act.
A big task coordinated by well know seabird expert Chris Gaskin, it is the result of a major collaboration of scientists and conservationists. Thanks are well due to all the dedicated people who contributed.


A student was injured after being hit by a car outside a Stockton school.
Poiice and paramedics attended the scene close to Egglescliffe School and Sixth Form College on Urlay Nook Road just after 5pm on Wednesday.
A spokesman for the North East Ambulance Service said: "We were called at 5.05pm and took a child to James Cook University Hospital following a collision with a car."
One witness said: "I believe someone was injured, because there were people crowding round someone on the floor as I left."
A spokeswoman for Cleveland Police said only "minor injuries" were sustained in the incident but no further details were provided.

The Provost- John Galt
CHAPTER I—THE FORECAST
It must be allowed in the world, that a man who has thrice reached the highest station of life in his line, has a good right to set forth the particulars of the discretion and prudence by which he lifted himself so far above the ordinaries of his day and generation; indeed, the generality of mankind may claim this as a duty; for the conduct of public men, as it has been often wisely said, is a species of public property, and their rules and observances have in all ages been considered things of a national concernment. I have therefore well weighed the importance it may be of to posterity, to know by what means I have thrice been made an instrument to represent the supreme power and authority of Majesty in the royal burgh of Gudetown, and how I deported myself in that honour and dignity, so much to the satisfaction of my superiors in the state and commonwealth of the land, to say little of the great respect in which I was held by the townsfolk, and far less of the terror that I was to evil-doers. But not to be over circumstantial, I propose to confine this history of my life to the public portion thereof, on the which account I will take up the beginning at the crisis when I first entered into business, after having served more than a year above my time, with the late Mr Thomas Remnant, than whom there was not a more creditable man in the burgh; and he died in the possession of the functionaries and faculties of town-treasurer, much respected by all acquainted with his orderly and discreet qualities.

Fantasize about spinning dreidels and pumping fists in the same room? It's all possible at the second annual Major League Dreidel Tournament. To get dreidel-ing recognized as the bona fide competitive sport it truly is, the tournament seeks out New York's greatest dreidel spinners. Contestants are judged on their ability to control their dreidel's spin (a great spin will go eight seconds or longer when it hits its peak speed or "orbit"). Anyone is free to sign up on the website (majorleaguedreidel.com), but expect fierce competitors like Spin Ming Wang and Dr. Dreidel. Rockers Gods of Fire will play "metalized" Hanukkah songs, and proceeds will go to the Survivor Mitzvah Project to aid Jewish Holocaust survivors. Ultimately, Major League Dreidel demonstrates how cultural traditions survive by being reinvented each generation: "Finding relevance for the past is an important thing," says Eric Pavony, MLD "Knishioner." "This allows people to connect to the holidays in a modern way, on their level." No gelt, no glory, of course—but no groans, either.
