The school operates a clear and transparent admissions policy in keeping with our statutory responsibilities. This is published in full below.
For further clarification on how to apply or to request hard copies of any documents, please contact us by phone or email.
The Governing Body is the admission authority for the School. Boys will be admitted at the age of 11 without reference to ability or aptitude, in keeping with our Catholic and Comprehensive education principles. The number of intended admissions for September 2019 is 180 which is our Published Admission Number (PAN).
As a Catholic school, we aim to provide a Catholic education for all our pupils. Catholic doctrine and practice permeates every aspect of the school's activities. It is essential that the Catholic character of the school's education be fully supported by the families of the pupils in the school. All applicants are therefore expected to give their full, unreserved and positive support for the aims and ethos of the school.
Places will be awarded primarily to applicants who are baptised Catholics.
Proof of residential address where the applicant lives for more than 50% of the school week, in the form of a Council Tax bill or the Electoral Roll.
A Baptismal Certificate in the Catholic Faith (criteria 1-5 inclusive).
The school is committed to taking its fair share of vulnerable children who are hard to place, in accordance with locally agreed protocols. Accordingly, outside the normal round of admissions, the governing body is empowered to give absolute priority to a child where admission is requested under any local protocol which carries the agreement of both the governing body and the Diocese of Westminster for the current admission year. The governing body has this power even when admitting such a child would exceed the normal admission number.
Catholic looked after children and Catholic boys who have been adopted (or made subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order) immediately following having been looked after (in the care of the local authority).
Baptised Catholic siblings of current or past pupils of the school with a Certificate of Catholic Practice.
Baptised Catholic children of members of staff who are employed by the Governing Body and have been in post for at least two years, at the time of application; with a Certificate of Catholic Practice.
Other Baptised Catholic boys with a Certificate of Catholic practice.
Other looked after male children and children who have been adopted (or made subject to 'child arrangements orders or special guardianship orders) immediately following having been looked after (in the care of the local authority).
Non-Catholic children of members of staff who are employed by the Governing Body and have been in post for two years, at the time of application.
Boys of other faiths or none.
For the purpose of clarity, the term 'Catholic' means a member of a church that is in full communion with the See of Rome, including the Eastern Catholic Churches.
Governors will give top priority within a category to a boy whose exceptional medical, social or pastoral needs justify a place at this school. Governors will require compelling written evidence from an appropriate professional e.g. doctor, priest or social worker. This evidence must be submitted by the closing date.
In case of applications in any category exceeding the number of places available, places will be offered according to the proximity of the boy's home to the front gate of the school. The distance between these points is calculated using the Council's computerised geographical information system. In the case of equal distance from the school or of more than one applicant from the same family applying for a remaining place, places will be offered by random allocation which will take place in the presence of an independent witness. Where the final place is offered to a child who has a twin/triplet etc applying for a place in the same school year, these siblings will also be admitted.
Requests for children to be educated outside their chronological age group will be considered by governors on an individual basis and will only be granted in exceptional circumstances.
The admission of pupils with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHC) is dealt with by a completely separate procedure. This procedure is integral to the making and maintaining of EHC plans by the pupil's home Local Education Authority. Boys with the school named in their EHC Plan will be admitted. Details of this separate procedure are set out in the Special Educational Needs Code of Practice.
Please note, the School is usually heavily over-subscribed and all places have, in recent years, been filled by boys meeting our Catholic criteria.
All applicants must complete their local authority's admissions form which is available from and returnable to the local authority in which the family is resident. Applicants should complete Finchley Catholic High School's Supplementary Information Form (SIF) which is supplied in the application pack and is on our website. The local authority's admissions form must be completed by Wednesday 31st October 2018. The Supplementary Information Form (SIF) is available from the school and should be completed and returned to the school by Thursday 18th October 2018. If you do not complete both the local authority admissions form and the SIF and return them by the relevant closing dates, which are different, the governing body may be unable to consider your application fully and it is possible that your child will not get a place at the school. Late applications will be considered after the initial allocation process has been completed.
Applications for criterion 1 must be accompanied by written proof of the child's status from the appropriate authority. Applicants applying under criteria 2, 3 and 4 should submit a Certificate of Catholic Practice (CCP) by the closing date. This certificate is available from the priest at the parish where the family normally worships or from the diocesan website. It is the parent's duty to ensure that the CCP is submitted to the school in good time. The priest will only sign the form if he knows you and agrees that you are a practising Catholic family.
Unsuccessful applicants will be invited to join the waiting list which will be maintained in the order of the over subscription criteria until the end of the academic year.
Late Applications for Secondary Transfer will only be considered in the normal admissions round if there are extenuating circumstances for the delay. All such applications will be considered by the admissions authority.
All unsuccessful applicants will be offered a right of appeal. Information on how to register an appeal will be posted on the school website by 28th February each year. Appellants will have a minimum of 20 school days in which to lodge an appeal.
The final date for submitting the supplementary information form is Thursday 18th October 2018. Notification letters will be sent out by the local authority on behalf of the Governors on March 1st 2019.


Pieter de Hooch was born in Rotterdam in 1617, the son of a mason and a midwife. His career as a painter started in Delft. As usual in his day, he had a second string to his bow besides painting: he was an assistant to a linen merchant. De Hooch specialised in decorous interiors with merry companies of people. Views through windows or corridors into other, distant rooms often featured in his work. Like other Dutch genre painters, De Hooch sometimes gave his interiors hidden messages. After moving to Amsterdam in 1661, De Hooch's domestic groups tended to become increasingly elegant and affluent. De Hooch eventually died in Amsterdam's Dolhuis (madhouse). When this happened is not known for certain.
Raymond Georges Yves Tanguy (1900-55), was a French-born American painter, born in Brittany, France on January 5th 1900. He was originally a merchant seaman, and was drafted into the army during World War I. Tanguy was impelled to take up painting after seeing pictures by de Chirico and in 1925, he joined the Surrealist Movement where he was welcomed by André Breton. Tanguy incorporated into his work the images of geological formations he had observed during a trip to Africa in 1930.
Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderón de Rivera (born July 6, 1907, Coyocoán, Mexico, died July 13, 1954, Coyocoán), Mexican painter. The daughter of a German Jewish photographer, she had polio as a child and at 18 suffered a serious bus accident. She subsequently underwent some 35 operations; during her recovery, she taught herself to paint. She is noted for her intense self-portraits, many reflecting her physical ordeal.

The Sciberras Peninsula is a peninsula in the South Eastern Region of Malta, between the Grand Harbour in the south and Marsamxett Harbour in the north. At its end stands the Mount Sciberras, which gave its name to the peninsula. During the Arab occupation the peninsula was called Mu'awiya, which has been taken up in Maltese as Xagħriet Mewwija (uncultivated and undulating heaths).

Valletta, the capital of Malta, is located on the Sciberras Peninsula, as is its suburb Floriana.

Some authors maintain that the name comes from the old Maltese family name Sciberras or Xiberras, who would have owned the land. Recent scholarly studies indicate that the phrase Xeberras is a Punic phrase which means the headland, or the middle peninsula, which is exactly the geographic characteristic of the Valletta-Floriana peninsula.

Виктория, принцеса роял, по съпруг – германска императрица и кралица на Прусия – е първородната дъщеря на британската кралица Виктория и на съпруга ѝ принц Алберт фон Сакс-Кобург-Гота.

Произход и ранни години
Родена е на 21 ноември 1840 г. в Бъкингамския дворец, Лондон, като принцеса Виктория Аделейд Мери Луиз, принцеса Британска и Сакскобургготска. Тя е първо дете на британската кралска двойка и до раждането на брат ѝ Едуард е наследница на британския престол. На 10 февруари 1841 г. Виктория е кръстена в тронната зала на Бъкингамския дворец от Кентърбърийския архиепископ Уилям Хоули. Нейни кръстници стават леля ѝ – кралица Аделейд, белгийският крал Леополд I, дядо ѝ Ернст I, херцогът на Съсекс, херцогинята на Глостър и Единбург и баба ѝ – Виктория.

През 1841 г. кралица Виктория удостоява дъщеря си с титлата принцеса роял, която се полага на най-големите дъщери на британските монарси.

Принцеса Виктория получава блестящо образование, за което следят лично родителите ѝ. Научава се да чете преди петата си година; говори френски, немски и латински, изучава литература, история, философия.

Кронпринцеса на Прусия
През 1851 г. принцеса Виктория се запознава с бъдещия си съпруг – тогава все още принц Фридрих Вилхелм Пруски, а по-късно Фридрих III, докато той и родителите му гостуват на кралица Виктория за откриването на Голямото изложение в Лондон. Виктория и Фридрих Вилхелм се сгодяват през 1855 г. по време на гостуването на пруския принц в Балморал. Официално годежът им е обявен на 19 май 1856 г. На 25 май 1858 г. Виктория и Фридрих Вилхем се женят в присъствието на кралица Виктория в двореца Сейнт Джеймс, Лондон. Бракът им е посрещнат с големи надежди и в двете страни, тъй като представлява важен династичен съюз, отварящ пътя за по-тясно обвързване между Великобритания и Прусия.

През януари 1861 г. бездетният пруски крал Фридрих Вилхелм IV умира и оставя пруския престол на брат си Вилхелм I. Така съпругът на Виктория става новият престолонаследник на Прусия и получава титлата Кронпринц на Прусия, а Виктория е обявена за Кронпринцеса. Двамата изпадат обаче в силна политическа изолация поради либералните си англофилски възгледи, които не съвпадат с авторитарната политическа линия на канцлера Ото фон Бисмарк. Въпреки че Виктория и Фридрих се опитват да възпитат сина си Вилхелм в духа на либералните идеи за демокрация, момчето показва отявлени симпатии към германския авторитаризъм и израства отчуждено от родителите си, подозирайки ги, че поставят интересите на Великобритания пред тези на Прусия.

По време на трите войни за германско обединение (Пруско-датската война от 1864, Австро-пруската война от 1866 и Френско-пруската война от 1870 – 1871) Виктория и съпругът ѝ симпатизират изцяло на каузата на Прусия и Свеверногерманския съюз. Това предизвиква известно отчуждаване между Виктория и британските ѝ роднини, тъй като брат ѝ, престолонаследникът Алберт Едуард (бъдещ Едуард VII) е женен за принцеса Александра, дъщеря на датския крал Кристиян IX, който владее оспорваните от Германия княжества Шлезвиг и Холщайн. На 18 януари 1871 г. в Огледалната зала на Версайския дворец германските принцове от Северногерманския съюз – победители във войната срещу Франция, обявяват създаването на Германската империя, a крал Вилхелм I е обявен за неин наследствен император. Така Фридрих и Виктория започват да се титулуват Кронпринц и кронпринцеса на Германия.

Германска императрица

На 9 март 1888 г. след смъртта на император Вилхелм I германската корона увенчава съпруга на Виктория Фридрих III и тя започва да се титулува като Нейно Имперско и Кралско Величество, Германската императрица, Кралицата на Прусия. По това време обаче Фридрих III е много болен и умира деветдесет дни след възкачването си на престола. След смъртта на съпруга си Виктория става известна само като Императрица Фридрих.

Сред германското общество Виктория става известна повече с прозвището Англичанката, визиращо британската ѝ родина, въпреки че във вените ѝ тече предимно германска кръв. Императрицата обаче продължава да говори на английски в дома си.

След смъртта на император Фридрих Виктория се оттегля да живее в замъка Фридрихсхоф, който тя построява в памет на съпруга си в околностите на Кронберг, недалеч от Франкфурт на Майн.

Следващи години
Виктория запазва либералните си възгледи и отношенията между нея и сина ѝ – император Вилхелм II, продължават да не вървят гладко, въпреки че между тях се наблюдава известно сближаване, след като Виктория се оттегля от политическата сцена. В Берлин бившата императрица открива гимназия за момичета и училище за медицински сестри. Самата тя надарена с множество артистични дарби, Виктория покровителства изкуствата и науката и става един от организаторите на Индустриалното изложение от 1872 г.

През целия си живот в Германия Виктория поддържа интензивна кореспонденция с роднините си във Великобритания, особено с майка си Виктория. Според Кралската енциклопедия са каталогизирани около 3777 писма на кралица Виктория до най-голямата ѝ дъщеря и над 4000 от дъщерята до майката. Много от писмата на бившата германска императрица изразяват опасенията ѝ за бъдещето на Германия при управлението на сина ѝ. Много от писмата си до Великобритания Виктория изпраща тайно, по специален куриер, тъй като настоява съдържанието им да не става известно на сина ѝ.

През 1899 г. Виктория е на гости в Балморал, когато ѝ поставят диагноза рак на гърдата. Докъм есента на 1900 г. ракът ѝ се разпространява и в гръбначния стълб. Бившата германска императрица умира след продължителни мъки в замъка Фридрихсхоф, на 5 август 1901 г. – седем месеца след смъртта на кралица Виктория. Погребана е в кралския мавзолей на църквата Фридрихскирхе в Потсдам.

Q: How can I get a shutter signl of the Matrice 600 (PRO) A3? I have an M600 PRO (A3) and I need to connect an Arduino to it to receive a drone shutter.
In fact, I would like to use Drone Deploy with a photo of each waypoint and at the time of each photo I would like my arduino to receive this signal to perform a specific task. I have no camera attached to the drone.
Could someone help me with this task? I've already been able to connect A3 to the Arduino. I still can not understand the data bus fault.
i already connect one Arduino to the DJI MAtrice 600 Pro, but I do not found the hexa-Code related with shutter sign
I would like to receive the shutter sign from Matrice 600 in my Arduino, in order to program a special task related with this sign.

A: Since you say you want to use Drone Deploy, you won't be able to use the Mobile SDK and will need to build something with the Onboard SDK. It's unclear what you want since you say you have no camera but want to trigger something every time a picture is taken.
If you just want to detect when Drone Deploy tries to take a picture, you may get an error depending on if the sdk thinks there is a camera detected or not. I haven't tried the Onboard SDK much or especially tried without a camera attached so I don't know if an error will result or if you can set the trigger in the take picture callback.
Either way the best place to start is probably the Camera sample onboard sdk app.

Concert Review: Richard Nader's Doo Wop Spectacular @ Medowlands/IZOD Arena (6/14/2008)-
Dealing with the world that we live in today has become an exceedingly complex. That's because not only do all of our problems seem to be more and more difficult to solve, they are also increasingly inter-connected with each other.
One of the reasons we enjoy attending "oldies shows", isn't just for the music. It's also because they transport us back in time, even if only for a few hours to a time in our lives when every problem didn't seem to be insurmountable and could actually be fixed (often within the constraints of a 30 minute sitcom.)
Earlier this summer I had a chance to suspend my own reality for a couple of hours at a great "oldies show" here in New Jersey at the Meadowlands Arena, the very same basketball arena where the New Jersey Nets play.
This was a fantastic show; however, it's not really a "doo wop show", despite the presence of Eugene Pitt & the Jive Five, Kenny Vance & the Planetones and Soul-Patrol's own Nu Millennium. If you look at the lineup it's really a 60's/70's "Top 40" (remember that term???) show. I was cool with that, because although I was familiar with all of the hit songs by these artists I had only seen two of them perform live before. So I knew that I was going to be in for a treat, it was going to be like having my old am radio performing live right in front of me.
Here are the performers (and the songs that I can remember)
–Nu Millennium
–Twin Gold (Star Spangled Banner)
–Eugene Pitt & the Jive Five (My True Story, What Time Is It, I'm a Happy Man)
–Sonny Geraci (Time Won't Let Me, Precious & Few, Rock n' Roll Heaven)
–Chiffons (One Fine Day, Sweet Talking Guy, He's So Fine)
–Mel Carter (Hold me, Thrill Me Kiss Me)
–Duprees (My Own True Love, You Belong To me)
–Lou Christie (Love Is a Many Splendored Thing, Rhapsody In The Rain, Lightning Strikes)
–Kenny Vance & the Planetones (Come on and Go With Me, Angel Baby, Cara mia, Looking For an Echo)
–BJ Thomas (Hooked on a Feeling, I Just Can't Help Believing, Rain Drops Keep Falling on My Head)
Those of you out there who lived thru the era of "AM Top 40 Radio" will easily be able to understand my excitement, but for those of you who never experienced it, a quick history lesson is in order.
AM Top 40 Radio was probably the greatest radio format of all time. It took the very best songs from pop, rock, r&b, country, middle of the road, jazz, etc. and played them all on the same radio station, in between motormouth jocks, commercials & news. In other words you could hear Frank Sinatra, followed by Led Zepplin, followed by Marvin Gaye, followed by Bob Dylan, followed by Otis Redding, followed by Johnny Cash, followed by the Beatles, followed by the Temptations, followed by the Doors, followed by Louis Armstrong, followed by the Jackson Five, etc. If that sounds bizarre to you, trust me it wasn't, it worked. In the city where I grew up, there were two stations that had this format (WMCA & WABC) and these two stations were the most popular in the city across all demographics. If you remember these stations, they were probably the most popular ones in your city as well. You could hear them playing everywhere. Today you can get a taste of what AM Top 40 Radio was like by listening to "oldies stations" like WCBS-FM in NYC, WOGL-FM in Philly, but it's really only a "taste", because these modern day approximations really don't have the kind of "wide playlists" that the original AM Top 40 Radio stations did, and I suppose that there are reasons why they can't.
In retrospect, these AM Top 40 Radio could have ONLY really existed during the 1960's & the first part of the 1970's, because the type of wide ranging playlists they had were truly a product of their time, a time that we as Americans don't really give ourselves enough credit for. Many times when we look back at that period, we remember the strife of the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement and more. One of the by products of all of that strife was that very quietly in almost a sub conscious manner, the very objectives of the folks who were protesting in the streets, was being implemented on AM radio stations around the country. These stations existed during a period of time when younger Americans were earnestly trying to bring the country together.
Fast forward to 2008, some of the most enjoyable conversations that I have with people my own age, who are from other ethnic groups when we discover that we like a whole lot of the same songs. It makes me smile when I discover that these people don't have superficial knowledge of artists/songs that I had previously imagined that they had never heard of. And conversely I can also see them smile when they discover that I don't have superficial knowledge of artists/songs that they had previously imagined that they had never heard of. It's kinda like you both smile, and think; "this is the way it's supposed to be." Well it's "that way", because of the residual power of AM Top 40 Radio.
All of which has nothing to do with the show on one level (yet on another level it has EVERYTHING to do with the show!!!)
These artists went thru a 3 hour show, performing hit after hit to perfection (it sounded just like the radio…..loll). I knew every song, I knew every lyric, I knew every turn the band would make. The crowd went nuts and every single person who walked out of the New Jersey Nets basketball arena at the end of that show, did so with a huge smile on their face.
I thought to myself, "this is the way it's supposed to be", and smiled…
Group finale….everybody on stage…together and on the one; Twin Gold, Eugene Pitt & the Jive Five, Sonny Geraci, Chiffons, Mel Carter, Duprees, Lou Christie, Kenny Vance & the Planetones, BJ Thomas and Debra Nader
And then I thought about why it wasn't like this anymore. Today there are separate radio station for every imaginable genre, sub genre and trend. I guess that part is easy to understand. It's all about "divide and conquer", as a methodology to maximize profits for record labels & radio networks. While that may be good for the big corporations, the kind of "cultural segregation" that results from it has not been a good thing for the United States.
"The Residual Power of AM Top 40 Radio"
This concert took place on June 14, 2008 and today is August 31, 2008. I have delayed writing this review because I didn't want what I observed and felt that evening to get "lost in the sauce." Besides seeing 3 hours of great live performances, I had also been witness to the "residual power of AM Top 40 Radio." That music had the power to bring people together during a period of American history when the people at the fringes didn't want it, but the "young kids" tried it anyhow and they did it with their music.
Today we are at a point when most of those "young kids" are now in their 40's, 50's & 60's and they have the power to do the right thing. And doing the "right thing", might just be a way to get us out of the current "mess" that we find ourselves in. And if you think that this is the part of the story where I say "AM Top 40 Radio" is gonna make a comeback, that isn't where I'm going (although clearly 1960's R&B music is today the most popular music in the world, thanks to Amy Winehouse)
As I am writing this review, the TV news is warning of yet another killer storm getting ready to bash the Louisiana coast. A few hours ago an amazing thing happened. The Republican nominee announced that the Republican Convention would have to take a back seat to helping the people who were going to become victims of the storm. This is on top of the amazing scene last week at the Democratic convention, where the Democrats seemed like they re-committed themselves to implementing the objectives of the 1960's & 1970's in a real sense. Whoever wins the election; there will for the very first time either Black men or a white woman in the very same halls of power that less than 100 years ago wouldn't have let either vote in an election. As we sit here in 2008, clearly our society has reached a crossroads and decided that it now wants to "do the right thing."
It would seem that 40 years after the heyday of AM Top 40 radio the United States has made a conscious descion to finally implement the objectives of those young protesters of the 1960's & 1970's. Perhaps the enormity/complexity of our current set of problems, has finally made us come to understand that just like AM Top 40 radio that our strength as a country is truly born out of our diversity? And once we understand that statement to be true, then we are FORCED TO WORK TOGETHER in order to solve the complex set of issues that lay before us.
I dunno about yall, but I am excited and inspired by all of this. How about you???

I know the typical thought that professional players of any sport make way too much money; however, their lifestyles aren't all about making money and being the headline of the sports page.In this article, I hope to inform you about the day in the life of a professional baseball player. Describing the season, a typical day, and what their career consists of.
First, you must understand that the season of baseball is long. Spring training starts in early March, when all players report to the Spring Training location for their pre-season try-outs and workouts.Coaches evaluate every player, every year to see where and if they would fit on the team that the coach is trying to build.Players are evaluated on their skills, and sorted out to play in the majors and minor leagues.The baseball season usually begins in April, when players travel back to their teams state and start the long 162 singular game season.In many cases, players will have games more than half the days of the week.Travelling is a large part of the season as 82 of the games are played on the road.Players may start the season on one team, but they could be traded during the season at any point.Generally, you are not playing in the state or city you grew up in, making the experience of moving all of your belongings and your family a familiar one as your career progresses.The typical season ends in late September or October depending on how your team does.As you can see, you are playing baseball for almost 7-8 months straight, 7 days a week.It is a long season.
A typical day during the season would start early.Players usually have to report to the stadium for practice or games before noon.If it is a game day, the players will stretch, watch film, have a meeting, and prepare for the game.If it is a practice day a player will have batting practice, run drills, lift weights and meet with different coaches to help them improve their game.Practices can last hours.The players easily spend at least 8 hours at the ballpark.If it is game day, and there are extra innings, games can run past 10 or 11 pm, and then the players shower and change not leaving the stadium until past midnight.Their day is full of baseball.It must be their passion.
The actual career of a professional baseball player starts between the age of 18-25.A typical major league players career usually only lasts about 2-5 seasons.Once a player approaches their 30's their career is typically over, as they are replaced by younger and faster players.If a player wishes to remain in the league longer, they must give 110% everyday of the year.They must lift weights, run sprints, be in the cage improving their batting and watch all the film possible.A player will typically play for about 4 teams during their career.Getting traded is part of the job.You must know and expect that you will move several times, sometimes across the country, during your career.There is a player, Octavio Dotel, who has been on 13 different teams in his career.When you think about it that is a lot of baseball in different cities, different fans, different teammates and houses!
So, I ask you if you think a player's' typical 2 million dollar salary is still outrageous?Maybe yes, but when you take into consideration all of the challenges: the long season, playing ball everyday for up to 12 hours a day for 7-8 months straight, and all the travelling and being away from your family it might seem less outrageous.Players face injuries that can devastate their career in seconds, the fact they are away from home and the physical demands of the sport take its toll on them.Some are willing to take that chance for their shot at fame.To hear the crowd, and play the game they love.

11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
11 What I'm saying is, If you walk around with your nose in the air, you're going to end up flat on your face. But if you're content to be simply yourself, you will become more than yourself."

Commentary on Luke 14:7-14
(Read Luke 14:7-14)
Even in the common actions of life, Christ marks what we do, not only in our religious assemblies, but at our tables. We see in many cases, that a man's pride will bring him low, and before honour is humility. Our Saviour here teaches, that works of charity are better than works of show. But our Lord did not mean that a proud and unbelieving liberality should be rewarded, but that his precept of doing good to the poor and afflicted should be observed from love to him.

Keenan was motionless, but it was much the same way that caged lions became motionless – sizing आप up for weakness. For all their feigning humanity, faeries were something Other. Aislinn was Other, and the longer she was with them, the further away from mortal normalcy she would be.
If आप liked Wicked Lovely and Ink Exchange then you're going to प्यार this.
Aislinn is Seth's world. Before Ash came along, Seth never pegged himself for the couple-type. He'd always been happy to cruise along and engage in a little no-strings-attached kind of fun when it suited him. But Ash changed all that. Changed him. Now Ash is Seth's whole world. She is his everything and he can't भालू the thought of losing her. But as Ash falls further into her role as क्वीन of the Summer Court, it's a thought that he's entertained और than once. He can see the connection between his girlfriend and the king of the Summer Court – Keenan – growing stronger the और summer approaches.
And what about Donia? Poor Don and Keenan have been trying to work things out for ages. Are they ever going to get their stuff sorted, या will Ash and the whole court rivalry thing going to keep them apart always? Donia is one feisty chick that आप don't want to put off side. Is Keenan smart enough to see that, या will he put himself, his क्वीन and his entire court in danger because of his blindness?
Niall, ruler of the Dark Court, आप rock my socks off. I can't wait for और action from आप in the future.
Melissa Marr's faery world is one I प्यार to get लॉस्ट in. Seth, Aislinn and Keenan are all so alive and real in my दिल that I can feel Keenan's jealousy pulling at my insides, hear Ash's tears as she weeps for her लॉस्ट love, and see the desperation painted on Seth's face as he watches his lover engage with another. The words flow effortlessly across the page and paint a picture so beautiful that its hard to believe they're just words. There's not one single part of Fragile Eternity that I didn't love. The character development is mind blowing, the twists and turns are both tiny and ginormous (and totally surprising, let me add) and even though nothing goes the way I want it to, as I turned the last page I still had a huge smile on my face.
I think the divide between Team Seth प्रशंसकों and Team Keenan devotees will become clearer than ever now. While Melissa Marr lays out a pretty solid case for both her boys, if आप were sitting on the fence before Fragile Eternity, I'm willing to lay money on it that आप wont be at the end. And I reckon it will be a pretty easy choice, too.

Q: Python: How to predict and group texts based on their entity? Given some records of texts such as below, how do you organize the texts into their entity definition? For example, automatically know which are addresses, emails, and phone numbers, and names and group them, even though the occurence of such text are not uniform and it's not always guaranteed that they will be present. This is a tough problem because there's no tag elements to segregate them, it's just raw text only separated by newline and the dashes to separate the results. I am wondering how I can go about approaching this problem, what techniques are needed to accomplish this.

I have tried many times with both existing and new themes for Wordpress, and every one of them doesn't keep the static Fixed Width. For some reason every theme exported to Wordpress format gets converted to percentages.
Seems like you are referring to the responsive layouts, it can be disabled from Export Options in Artisteer.
I noticed the form fields have settings in them that can be set to fixed widths or be auto but end up 100% in the template. Could be something similar to that.
This was causing all my Joomla fields to stretch out no matter what they were set to in the website.
I was told they are going to fix it in the next V4 release.

Africa Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA)

Zambia Emerging as African Economic, Political Leader
Washington — Zambia is an increasingly important trade and investment partner for the United States and countries around the world thanks to its vast resources, political stability and fast-growing economy.
"Zambia is really an exceptional country in Africa," U.S. Ambassador to Zambia Mark C. Storella said during a call with more than 60 American business representatives May 31. "Since its independence in 1964, it has been entirely peaceful." Storella added that the country's natural resources, abundant fertile land and friendly and engaging people make Zambia an ideal destination for foreign investment.
Zambia is in its 12th consecutive year of positive economic growth, averaging about 6 percent growth in the past eight years. The ambassador noted that the country's trade with the United States doubled in 2011: "Not too many countries around the world can say that." Zambia's economy grew 7.6 percent in 2011 and is expected to grow by more than 7 percent in 2012.
Storella said the country has received high marks from the International Monetary Fund for its macroeconomic stability and fiscal management, and was declared by the World Bank in 2011 to be a middle-income country.
"That's quite an accomplishment," Storella said. "It showed that gross national income per capita is over $1,000." He explained that while rural poverty levels remain high, there is a growing urban middle class.
This growth has created an increased demand for high-quality consumer goods, and has led the country to focus on enhancing trade and investment ties with its neighbors as well as partners throughout the world.
In this effort, the Zambian government will send a delegation led by Minister of Commerce, Trade and Industry Robert Sichinga on a five-city trade mission to the United States in June, centered on the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) Forum June 14–15 in Washington. In addition to Washington, the delegation will visit Cincinnati, Houston, Atlanta and Boston and will focus on energy, agriculture, mining, manufacturing and infrastructure.
In particular, Storella said, improving infrastructure is one of Zambia's key goals as well as a critical step toward improving trade with regional and global partners. To support infrastructure development, the U.S. government signed in May a $355 million compact through the Millennium Challenge Corporation to modernize capital city Lusaka's water drainage and sewage system. The Zambian government plans to issue a $700 million bond later this year to raise capital for further infrastructure development, including in energy and transportation.
The country is also blessed with abundant mineral resources. As the largest copper producer in Africa, the country exported 800,000 tons of copper in 2011. Storella said that in the next few years, the country is expected to export more than 1 million tons of copper.
Additionally, as a large, relatively sparsely populated country with significant water resources, Zambia has tremendous agricultural potential. With only 14 percent of arable land currently cultivated, only 2 percent of the land irrigated and just 1 percent under mechanized agriculture, Storella said, the country is welcoming investments by foreign companies to help grow the sector.
Tourism is another area with great potential, thanks to Victoria Falls and several well-known but unspoiled safari parks. Storella said that in 2013, Zambia and Zimbabwe will jointly host the 20th session of the United Nations World Tourism Organization General Assembly.
The United States is committed to continuing to support Zambia as it emerges as a major economic and political entity in Africa, Storella said. One key to this support will be AGOA, the centerpiece of U.S. economic engagement with Africa.
Signed into law by then-President Bill Clinton in 2000, the pivotal economic development plan provides trade preferences to the 40 participating African countries by removing nearly all tariffs on exports. It also breaks down other trade and customs barriers in an effort to help stimulate economic growth, encourage economic integration and help bring sub-Saharan Africa into the global economy.
The 2012 AGOA Forum will focus on improving Africa's infrastructure to increase trade and development. It will bring together more than 600 participants, including senior U.S. and African government officials, members of the private sector and civil society representatives.

Here I'm posting just a small sample of your wonderful compositions about your best friends.
Marta Vázquez and I are almost best friends and we're neighbours too. We live in Ourense, in the same building. We go to the same school and in the same grade, but I'm in class 3A and she's in 3B. I often go to her place to sleep and other times she comes to my place.
Marta is fourteen years old. She's tall and thin, she's got short, dark curly hair and blue eyes. The good thing about her is that she's very funny, honest and warm-hearted, although she can also be very stubborn and a bit curious, but she's too innocent.
She's happiest when she's chatting and joking with our friends. She likes reading, going out and surfing the Internet. We always go out together on Saturdays and we sometimes go to San Lázaro Park.
Marta Taín and I are friends. She lives near the "Parque Barbaña" and I live near the other park, but we live in Ourense and we go to the same school, "Santo Ángel".
She is fourteen and I am thirteen because her birthday is before my birthday.
She is a bit big but she isn't tall. She has got long, dark and wavy hair. She is brown-eyed and she has got moles in her chubby cheeks.
The good thing about her is that she is like me, because she understands me. She is also happy, friendly, a bit sensitive, very curious and she sometimes boasts, but she doesn't do it on purpose.
She likes to go to the cinema with our friends or to go to other places. She doesn't like chocolate, fruit or fish.
She has got one brother as I have got one too. We play with them because we always enjoy very much.
She plays tennis and she goes to a dance academy, but she goes to other academies to study other subjects too.


It has been almost a year since the launch of the new Y50 gaming notebook from Lenovo with its new design and now we have the updated model that's packing the same hardware as the recently reviewed Acer Aspire VN7 Nitro Black Edition (GTX 960M). We can even say that Acer has launched its new line to tackle the Lenovo Y series gaming laptops. How does that turn out? You will find in the detailed review below.
However, let's have a few words about the new updated hardware and how it stacks up against last year's model. For starters, the Y50 is a gorgeous notebook with compact design, despite its powerful internals, but that's not what makes a gaming laptop good enough for flawless user experience. A lot of people expected quality IPS panel for the price, but Lenovo failed to deliver and instead put a TN panel, which is ridiculous given the price and the class of this gaming machine. The only IPS options were the ones with touch-capacitive displays and the 17-inch variants. That's the main and the foremost reason that most people didn't buy the Y50. Nevertheless, with this year's updated models, we have IPS panel, better CPU (Intel Core i7-4720HQ) and the highly anticipated GeForce GTX 960M GPU. It's good to see that the company has taken some notes and improved the setbacks of its product, but unfortunately they didn't take it so far. Why? Scroll to the display section below and you will find out.
The package containing the Y50 is a relatively big box with the usual stuff inside – user manuals, DVD containing all the drivers needed, AC charging cable and adapter, and, of course, the notebook itself. You will not be finding anything special in the box except an external optical drive, since the notebook doesn't have one.
The new Lenovo Y50 notebook keeps the same aggressive and appealing design signature as previous generations and even lowering the profile of the chassis. It has brushed aluminum cover on the lid and at the bottom. Inside you will find a soft-touch matte plastic, but more on that later. Actually, this is one of the best looking notebooks on the market, but as every product out there, this one has its own drawbacks.
Let's begin wit the lid. It's made of black, brushed aluminum with two curves on the sides along with Lenovo's engraved logo in the top left corner. The logo is also made of metal and it's a little protruding. Unfortunately, though, it's relatively easy to leave smudges on the surface, but they are easy to clean. Continuing with the bottom piece, where you will find the same aluminum cover with big vents for some additional cooling by an external cooling pad. Right beneath the grills is placed a little net that aims to hold some bigger particles from going inside the machine. You will also notice that the net becomes a bit "white" over time from the "collected dust". Right next to the grills is the subwoofer, which is paired with the JBL branded loudspeakers.
The sides, as we mentioned, are really thin and feature the same matte plastic that can be found in the interior. Just for the record, the Y50 is 24.5 mm thick which is quite impressive, while Acer Aspire VN7 Nitro Black Edition is a tad slimmer, measuring at 23.25 mm. The left side accommodates the DC charging port, HDMI, LAN and two USB 3.0 ports and that's a really good port placement in our opinion. If you are using it with an external mouse in a small working place, the cables will not get in your way. On the other side, you will find one USB 2.0 port along with the SD card reader and two 3.5 mm jacks for an external microphone and headphones. At the front end of the chassis are located only the status LED lights. The back, however, is quite attractive as it features two stylish grills at each end, but unfortunately they are just for decoration and not part of the cooling system. When we reviewed the 2014's model, we weren't very pleased with the cooling system and we still think that Lenovo could have used those grills for some extra airflow. So, just like last year, the main grill for dispersing the heat is located right in front of the hinge. Despite the fact that this is an aesthetic placement, it's not very functional since it doesn't give enough air for the machine to "breathe".
The interior of the chassis is just as appealing as the outside of the machine. We've got the red JBL branded loudspeakers next to the screen, which are distinguished with black glossy plastic as the rest of the interior is covered in matte, soft-touch plastic. Just like the exterior, this material attracts fingerprints and it's easy to leave nasty smudges. Also, be aware that after a period of time, due to usage, the area where palms rest (around the touchpad) the material wears off and loses its properties. The keyboard is easy to work with when you adjust to the size of the keys, because some users with bigger fingers might find it a tad smaller than usual. The keys have enough travel for a good feedback, also easy to press, but not in the corners. If you are a fast typer be aware that you will end up missing some letters if you press the keys too lightly in the corner areas. It seems like the keyboard is more suitable for typing rather than gaming.
Also, typically for a gaming laptop, this one has its own LED backlight for the keyboard and… it's red. A bit aggressive to the eyes when working in a dark room, but still really beautiful and most importantly – functional. The symbols are transparent and the edge of the keys are also letting some light to come out. With that being said, compared to the backlight of the Aspire VN7 Nitro Black Edition, Lenovo Y50 has the better solution. However, for a multimedia laptop like the Y50 is really important to have functional keys for play/pause/forward/backwards and this one doesn't, while Acer's notebook delivers this functionality.
We can't leave this section without few words about the touchpad. It's a whole aluminum plate with integrated mouse buttons, which are a bit hard to press and also our general opinion on it is not so great. It's responsive most of the time, the gestures work great, but the precision is a bit inconsistent. Sometimes the pointer was jiggling across the screen when touching the edges of the touchpad and precise pointing was a struggle.
To sum things up, the Lenovo Y50 has a quality and premium chassis with great use of materials with the only setback for leaving smudges easily. The cooling system doesn't seem to be very functional, but we will check that later in the "Temperatures" section. Maybe that's the thing you will have to give up for a stylish and slimmed down powerhouse. The keyboard feels optimal for typing and not so for gaming, but at least it has a nifty backlight. Come to think of it, everything feels nice, except for the touchpad, which leaves a big room for improvement.
Unfortunately, the internal hardware design isn't changed compared to last year's model. For a notebook with a price tag around €1100 you would expect various storage options like m.2 SATA or at least mSATA. For instance, the ASUS G771 has the option of m.2 SATA for a similar price. The Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition offers this as well. This can be considered as a major setback by many customers.
Let's also have a quick look at the design of the cooling system. The CPU and GPU are really close together, while both fans are placed apart and concentrating the airflow at only one place. This can be considered as quite ineffective and you can see why in the "Temperatures" section.
Lenovo Y50's display has a Full HD AH-IPS panel with matte surface. The manufacturer is LG with model number LP156WF4-SPL1 with diagonal of 15.6″ and a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. The aspect ratio is 16:9 and the pixel density is 141 PPI with space between each pixel – 0.18 x 0.18 mm.
Here are the viewing angles under 45°.
The maximum recorded brightness is 235 cd/m2 with a maximum deviation of 13% (quite acceptable). The color temperature is 6482K and almost aligns perfectly with the optimal one of 6500K (D65).
The Lenovo Y50's (GTX 960M) display covers 64% of the sRGB and 48% of the Adobe RGB color gamut. You will be missing a significant part of the WEB-based colors (sRGB).
The gamma's deviation is neglectable and only dark parts of the image will appear a bit dim.
We've calibrated the display at 200 cd/m2 in order to reach optimal color temperature of 6500K.
After calibration, the average deviation of DeltaE is 1.47.
Before any calibration was done we checked the color reproduction of the display.
And these are the results after the calibration.
The panel of the model emits pulsating light using PWM (pulse-width modulation), but the frequency of the emitted light is 21.6 kHz, which is less harmful to the eyes.
This time around, Lenovo used much more suitable for gaming panel that has good viewing angles, fairly good contrast and good color reproduction. However, the panel lacks a big part of the sRGB and Adobe RGB color gamuts. While this is an improvement over last year's model, we still think that Lenovo could have done better in this aspect.
As we expected, the sound quality of the Y50 is nearly perfect. It supports a big range of frequencies +/-3 dB – more information can be found on the graph below.
Of course, we cannot expect much from a gaming notebook, mainly because of the power-hungry Core i7-4720HQ CPU and discrete GTX 960M GPU that can drain a lot of battery when you are in a need of an extra power. This model is equipped with relatively small 4-cell 54Wh battery – just like last year's model. However, we can expect a bit lower battery performance since 2014's model has a TN energy-efficient panel and this one has a more power-hungry IPS panel. Just to be sure, we ran the usual test like Internet surfing, watching a movie and gaming. All test share the same conditions – Wi-Fi turned on, Bluetooth is off, power saver is on and screen brightness is set to 120 cd/m2.
Quite typical result for a gaming notebook – 200 minutes (3 hours and 20 minutes), but still a bit lower than most gaming notebooks on the market.
Another unsatisfying result – 181 minutes (3 hours and 1 minute).
It's quite unlikely that you'll use the notebook for gaming without a power source, but just for comparison reasons the result is 102 minutes (1 hour and 42 minutes).
This CPU, as every high and mid-range CPU from Intel, supports the so-called HyperThreading technology, that emulates one virtual core for each physical one. So we have 4 cores with maximum of 8 running threads at the same time. It supports dual memory channel of DDR3(L) 1333/1600MHz and up to 32GB. The chip also integrates the Intel HD Graphic 4600 that has a base clock of 400 and Turbo Boost up to 1200MHz with 20 EU (Execution Units). The maximum TDP of the whole chip is 47W which makes it more suitable for 15-inch laptops or bigger, which are mainly for gaming.
Here you can see an approximate comparison between the CPUs that can be found in the Lenovo Y50 models on the market. This way you can decide for yourself which Lenovo Y50 model is the best bang for your buck.
Fritz is a chess benchmark which tests the computing capabilities of the CPU with various chess moves. The Intel Core i7-4720HQ managed to get 10.488 million moves per second. For comparison, one of the most powerful PCs, Deep(er) Blue, was able to squeeze out 200 million moves per second. In 1997 Deep(er) Blue even beat the famous Garry Kasparov with 3.5 to 2.5.
Here you can see an approximate comparison between the GPUs that can be found in the Lenovo Y50 models on the market. This way you can decide for yourself which Lenovo Y50 model is the best bang for your buck.
NVIDIA still hasn't released official drivers for the GTX 960M and we've ran the test with the drivers provided in the DVD – 345.05, but we are certain that the average FPS will increase with the new drivers for the GPU. Until then, stay tuned and we will update the review accordingly.
In this part of the review, we put every single notebook through series of torture test, so we can check the stability of the system in the long run. We start with a stress test for the CPU with a load of 100% and leaving the machine for about an hour. At normal state, the CPU runs at around 40-42°C and can go up to 72-73°C, which is relatively cool. Also, the CPU didn't go below its base operating frequency – 2.6GHz. You can see the results on the diagram below – the red line represents the temperature, while the green one represents the load of the CPU.
After an hour, we've switched on the GPU stress test to see if the temperature of the CPU will rise or in other words – does the CPU and GPU share heat. Well, the temperatures rose immediately (87-90°C), but that's still far away from the maximum operating temperature of 100°C. Most importantly, we didn't notice any throttling, while last year's model with Core i7-4710HQ was throttling the minute we switched on the GPU stress test. As for the GPU itself, the temperatures remained safe – 80°C. You can see how the inner temperature affects the exterior. Keep in mind that these conditions are almost impossible to reproduce in real-life conditions. It's quite unlikely that you'll be able to put 100% load on the CPU and the GPU. We conduct these test to check the overall stability of the system.
As you can see from the heat map below, the top of the interior can reach really high temperatures (50.6°C) and even the center of the keyboard is a bit hot (49.4°C). This is due to the placement of the main grill for dispersing the heat. The hot air that comes out of the vents bounces off the hinge of the lid and you can easily feel the hot air above the center and the top of the keyboard. However, the bottom part where palms rest remain cool throughout the whole time. So if you are planning on using the notebook for a long gaming sessions, you might want to use an external keyboard or just use a cooling pad. The last one will greatly reduce the heat of the machine and we recommend searching for a cooling pad with at least 70 CFM airflow.
We were pleased with the overall design of the machine giving a distinctive look, premium materials while maintaining low weight (2.4 kg) and slim profile (24.5 mm). However, this notebook has its own drawbacks like leaving easily smudges on the exterior and interior, the keyboard is lacking multimedia buttons and the touchpad design isn't all that great. The cooling system is made with style, but fails to deliver the needed airflow for keeping the internals cool. You will easily notice the heat on the top side of the keyboard and we strongly recommend using an external cooling pad with airflow above 60 or 70 CFM. This will have a huge impact on the user experience.
Now it's time to address the issues that has been fixed over last year's model. The new IPS panel is way better than 2014's TN display, but still doesn't impress us as much, especially for the price. The new IPS panel has better contrast, excellent viewing angles, but poor color gamut coverage and this is an essential part of every gaming and multimedia notebook. Still, for the price you get one hell of a beast with GTX 960M and Intel Core i7-4720HQ. Also, the sound quality is just great – supports low and high frequency and thanks to the subwoofer, music sounds richer. Despite it's flaws, the cons are a lot more and if you are looking for a compact, yet powerful gaming machine – the Y50 might be the best choice for you.
I bought lenovo y50-70 59-445565. The laptop has a slim profile and IPS display and sound is excellent. If you play music, this laptop is awesome. The laptop have intelligent power coservation system that will make the battery idle when external power is connected. This will keep the battery from neither charging nor discharging. I'm sure you will not need to replace the battery for 5 years.
Hi, I bought this laptop a while back and really like it, except for the yellow color issue.
And the screen hinge issue that so many people have encountered 🙁 left side is broken after 3 months normale use.
Oh well… I thought that I would try to give a go to Laptopmedia's display profiles, but there doesnt seem to be any for this model on your Display Profile page.
Would it be possible to add the display profiles?

What is Asperger Syndrome?
Asperger Syndrome (AS) is an autism spectrum difference(ASD) - a lifelong development difference, affecting how the person relates to their social and physical environment. It is characterised by significant difficulties in social interaction and non-verbal communication; and restricted and often repetitive behaviours linked to difficulties with imagination and flexibility of thought. There can also be issues with sensory and perceptual differences.
How does Aspergers differ from Autism?
Unlike children with autism, a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome is given to those with typical language and cognitive development. They can have motor neurone issues and are sometimes diagnosed with ADHD. In later life they have a higher probability of suffering from depression and anxiety disorders. Today, Aspergers is considered to be part of the autism spectrum.
How many people have Asperger Syndrome?
In the United Kingdom it is believed that around 700,000 (1.1% of the population) have an autism spectrum difference(ASD. It is believed that four times as many males as females are affected but a high number of women are now being recognised as having Aspergers.
What is the cause of Asperger Syndrome?
At present this is unknown but it is possible that there is a genetic predisposition and/or environmental component responsible.
How does it feel living with Asperger Syndrome?
Often described as a hidden or invisible disablility, individuals with Aspergers may not initially appear different but their 'mask' will inevitably slip when confronted by stressful social and physical environments. They are said to be 'wired differently' and this challenges their capacity to make sense of everyday social activity despite their desire to do so.
Language tends to be taken literally as non-verbal signals or the tone of voice of others are not easily read or understood. People with Aspergers tend to have narrow interests that can be the focus of their conversations and are often said to be self-focussed and lacking in empathy. Actually they are expanding much more energy simply trying to understand social interaction that comes naturally to the neuro-typical.
Can a person with Asperger Syndrome function in the corporate world?
Many managers appreciate employees that would rather remain focussed on the task in hand over seemingly meaningless social interaction with colleagues. People with Aspergers could therefore be some of the most productive and valued employees if - and it is a big 'if' - they are provided with a highly systematic and structured low arousal environment.

City High's Andrea Adam headed to state after rapid rise
Matt Cozzi
mcozzi@press-citizen.com
Three months ago, Andrea Adam never dove competitively before.
Now, she is about to compete at state.
The City High junior diver qualified for the state meet in her very first year of participating in the sport. The diving portion of the state meet is Friday night, with swimming events Saturday, both at the YMCA in Marshalltown.
Adam, who attends Regina, transitioned to diving from gymnastics, which she did for seven years before stopping prior to her sophomore year. Her path isn't unconventional — a lot of former gymnasts take up diving since a lot of the motion in the air is the same.
"It really helps with the way you contort your body and all the flips and turns," Adam said. "The biggest difference is the hurdle and the way you want to land. Landing in headfirst is a lot different than normal. You actually want to land headfirst here."
Despite taking her first dive into the water in August, Adam's ascent is quite quick. She improved meet by meet with the culmination of the 2015 campaign last week at regionals.
Her score from regionals ranks 11th out of the 30 divers who will be at state this weekend.
"She started diving about two weeks before the high school season started, so we mostly worked on the basics at the start and the technique differences between diving and gymnastics," City diving coach Lauren Kelba said. "But other than that, her learning curve has been straight up. She's very coachable and she'll try anything."
Kelba, who was a diver at the University of Iowa, noted how impressed she is by Adam's rapid rise. Though Adam isn't surprised by her performance necessarily.
"I've been told it's faster than normal, but it feels normal to me," Adam said. "Maybe a little surprised."
There will be no pressure on Adam when she walks onto the diving board Friday at state. After all, this wasn't something even on her mind at this time, say, two years ago.
This continues a progression from old to new, albeit now on a little bigger of a stage.
"It's huge for her confidence to be able to come in and have this success in this sport right away," Kelba said. "She's had such a good mentality about it. She's not too focused on the scores or the rankings. She came in and is right up there with everyone else."

Bipolar disorder, Depression, Polycystic ovarian syndrome
This study was designed to determine the prevalence of bipolar disorder in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCO). One hundred and ten women with definite diagnosis of PCO and one hundred and ten age-matched infertile women due to other reasons except for PCO were enrolled in this case-control study. Ten ml fasting venous blood sample obtained to measure fasting glucose, LH and FSH. Height, weight and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were also recorded by an expert technician. A psychiatrist examined all 220 cases in order to determine the prevalence of depression and bipolarity. Mean age of each group participants were not significantly different while FBS, LH and LH/FSH levels were significantly higher in PCO patients. Eighty eight case were depressed in PCO group while 96 were depressed in control group (P=0.03). Bipolar disorder were higher in PCO group in comparison with controls (8 vs. 0, P=0.004). Psychiatric disorders should be considered in PCO women.

- Show a pop-up if an item can be purchased for a better price somewhere else.
- Assist in downloading files from chosen websites.

Examples of prohibited behaviors:

- Additional bundling of "shopping assistants".
- A sidebar extension with a calculator includes a website blocker.

The [browser action button](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/browserAction) should only serve as a shortcut to the extension's main functionality. For instance, if an extension's single purpose is for downloading videos, clicking the browser action icon should launch the download process and not another functionality.

## Extension Metadata {#metadata}

- The name cannot suggest it was created by a non-affiliated company. For example, instead of "X Improver", name it: "Improver for X™".
- The summary must answer the question: what does your extension do? It must be composed of grammatically correct and complete sentences.
- The description must answer: 1) How do you use the extension? 2) What does the extension look like?
- The extension must perform as described.
- If the extension performs background actions, then those actions must be described.
- If defined, the support webpage must be relevant to the extension.

## Content {#content}

- Icons of all sizes should be similar in style.
- Icons should not just consist of one or more words on a colored background. Refer to our [icon guidelines](/extensions/effective-icons/) for tips on how to make good icons.
- The icons, screenshots, and graphic design must be of acceptable quality. Anti-aliased PNGs with transparent backgrounds are preferred. Note that interlaced PNG-files are currently not supported due to a [limitation of the image library](http://effbot.org/imagingbook/format-png.htm) we're using. Please avoid interlaced effects in your screenshots.
- Icons inside the address bar (page actions) cannot have a padlock shape.
- It must not unlawfully incorporate third party information, code or graphics.
- It must not include "Opera" in the title or any other Opera branding that can indicate the extension was created by Opera Software.
- It must comply with the [Terms of Service](https://addons.opera.com/developer/terms/).
- No external JavaScript is allowed. All JavaScript code must be contained in the extension. External APIs are ok.
- It must not specifically point to, or be related to, gambling or betting services.
- Extensions cannot replace Opera's default start page.
- Extensions cannot just consist of a button linking to a website, or of a pop-up with some static links pointing to a website. Extensions must provide valuable functionality, such as e.g. a transformation applied on a page when a button is clicked, real-time info in a pop-up, etc.
- Content inside pop-ups must be optimized for display in a pop-up. The content must match the pop-up's size, and vertical scrolling should only be used if really necessary. Avoid horizontal scrolling inside pop-ups.
- While linking to your own or other sites from your extension is fine, such links should be relevant and have a clear function. Don't overload the extension with promotional links.

## Development practices {#development}

- There should be no obvious bugs.
- Values in `manifest.json` must be sound and valid.
- Flash is not allowed.
- We must be able to review your code, so it can't be obfuscated or minified (this rule doesn't apply to third-party libraries - see other points below). If you do not want the code to be public, then please post a link where we can download the unobfuscated code, and please provide detailed instructions on how to produce the same obfuscated results. Please note that reviewing obfuscated code is more labor-intensive for us and your extension may be handled with a lower priority.
- There must be no unused files.
- There must be no redundant permissions requested or unnecessary manifest entries.
- Well-known third-party libraries must be in a genuine and in an unchanged form. They should be acquired from the vendor's official website or a CDN.
- These libraries must be regularly upgraded to their recent versions which contain no known security vulnerabilities.

## Monetization and data processing {#monetization}

- Ads in content scripts are not allowed.
- The extension must not change referral parameters, interfere with Opera monetization mechanisms or otherwise misappropriate traffic or revenues from other sources.
- The extension must not collect private information without authorization from the user.
- The extension must not send private data to an external store, for example through XHR.

If the above criteria are satisfied, your extension undergoes additional testing, to see that it works on all platforms (Windows, Mac and Linux).

An extension that does not satisfy the criteria or fails the testing will be rejected, and you will be given information on the [Submitted extensions](https://addons.opera.com/developer/) page. After you have fixed the problems, you can resubmit the extension by clicking the _Upgrade_ button next to the package name.

[Back] [Session HS9.2]
Remobilization of hazardous contaminants caused by climate-induced flood events in (sub-)tropical river systems (Chennai, India)

An alarming rise of sea level is the most prominent but by far not the only hazardous phenomenon caused by climatic change. Extreme weather events with increasing frequency, such as droughts or contrasting heavy rainfalls, cause severe harm to local populations. This holds true especially for fast-growing urban centers, such as Chennai (India) with a missing or unmaintained waste and drainage management. These large coastal population centers face an increasing vulnerability to frequently reoccurring monsoon-induced floods (e.g., Chennai flood 2015; Kochi flood 2018, 2019), intensified by the advancing urbanization along the urban landscape crossing river systems and adjacent floodplains. Accompanied with these extreme floods are the increased release, re-localization and distribution of toxic xenobiotics and other pollutants (e.g., PAHs, LABs, DEHA, Mesamoll®, NBFA, and pesticides) causing harm to adjacent communities and the environment along the river's pathway. In order to endeavor the unknown risk posed by toxic river floods, to assess the flood and associated pollution history the preserved pollution signature from sedimentary records needs to be considered.
This investigation evaluates the inorganic and organic pollutant assemblage in nine sediment profiles along the Adyar and Cooum rivers (Chennai, India). Thereby heavy metals (Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb) show a continuous concentration decrease downstream towards the coast with their specific sources remaining unsolved. Based on GC-MS analysis, four main groups of organic pollutants have been detected: petrogenic pollutants (hopanes, PAHs), urban wastewater compounds (LABs, DEHA, methyl-triclosan, octocrylene), technical compounds (Mesamoll®, DPE, NBFA, PCBs) and pesticides (DDX). Organic compounds show a distinctly differing distribution pattern compared to the heavy metals. Some compounds (e.g., PAHs, LABs, DEHA, NBFA, Mesamoll®) were detected in high concentrations deriving from nearby point sources (e.g., tributaries, canals). While most organic compounds show high source specific properties, the definite sources for other compounds remain vague as the result of large scale and diffusiveness of anthropogenic emissions, such as air pollution or (untreated) industrial and municipal wastewaters. The chosen approaches have shown that urban wastewater pollutants and several technical compounds are suitable markers to assess the anthropogenic induced pollution and event history in sedimentary archives. However, the given sedimentary archives in these fast-growing and urbanized population centers might not always allow a full reconstruction of past events, as anthropogenic alterations on the rivers course and floodplains effect the archive's preservation potential. For Chennai, advantages and disadvantages regarding the chemostratigraphic preservation are delicately balanced. However, increasing urbanization and anthropogenic overprinting causes the disruption of sedimentary archives and redistribution of contaminated material (e.g., through dredging), this favors remobilization and relocation of hazardous contaminants, thus endangering the local population due to the high mobility of these pollutants.
