COLUMBIA, Mo. - Considerable attention has been paid to how boys' educational achievements in science and math compare to girls' accomplishments in those areas, often leading to the assumption that boys outperform girls in these areas. Now, using international data, researchers at the University of Missouri and the University of Glasgow in Glasgow, Scotland, have determined that girls outperform boys in educational achievement in 70 percent of the countries they studied--regardless of the level of gender, political, economic or social equality.
"We studied the educational achievement levels of 1.5 million 15-year-olds from around the world using data collected between 2000 and 2010," said David Geary, Curators Professor of Psychological Sciences in the College of Arts and Science at MU. "Even in countries where women's liberties are severely restricted, we found that girls are outperforming boys in reading, mathematics, and science literacy by age 15, regardless of political, economic, social or gender equality issues and policies found in those countries."
According to the data, boys fall behind girls in overall achievement across reading, mathematics, and science in 70 percent of the countries studied. Boys outperform girls in only three countries or regions: Colombia, Costa Rica and the Indian state, Himachal Pradesh. Boys and girls had similar educational achievements in the United States and United Kingdom.
In countries known for relatively low gender equality ratings, such as Qatar, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, the educational achievement gap is relatively large and favors girls.
The one exception worldwide is among students in economically developed nations where high achieving boys outperform high achieving girls, researchers said.
"With the exception of high-achievers, boys have poorer educational outcomes than girls around the world, independent of social equality indicators," said Gijsbert Stoet, reader in psychology at the University of Glasgow. "Results show that a commitment to gender equality on its own is not enough to close the achievement gaps in global education; the gap is not increasing. Although it is vital that we promote gender equality in schools, we also need to make sure that we're doing more to understand why these gaps, especially among boys, persist and what other policies we can develop to close them."
The study also has important implications for educational policy, the researchers said.
"The data will influence how policymakers think about the options available," said Geary. "For example, to increase levels of equal opportunities in education. We believe that policymakers and educators should not expect that broad progress in social equality will necessarily result in educational equality. In fact, we found that with the exception of high achievers, boys have poorer educational outcomes than girls around the world, independent of social equality indicators. Therefore, in order to effectively close the gaps in achievement, education policymakers should consider factors other than political, economic and social equality, and especially as related to boys' overall achievement and high-achieving girls' interest in mathematics and science."
The study, "Sex differences in academic achievement are not related to political, economic or social equality," recently was published in the peer reviewed journal, Intelligence.

These plastic skeletons totally reminded me of Ray Harryhausen's work. I "merged" several figures by melting them together. I'm still not sure what to do with them – below is a simple diorama test. I opted to NOT draw the details on the background. I think it would work better with that detail, and I may add it later.
Here are more melted figure prototypes. See also: Make your own Monsters and Make your own Action Figures. Sold Separately.
Some years ago, I wrote about how to "Make your own Action Figures." When I was a boy, I used to melt various plastic figures into new, fantastic creatures. In a celebration of the last Sunday of August, Leezle and I created prototypes of new monsters using dinosaurs from the dollar isle at Target.
First, we dissected the figures using X-acto blades. Then, we attempted to melt/fuse the parts together with a magnifying glass and the sun. It was late afternoon, and we didn't have much success (although we did let the smoke out of a couple of leaves and twigs).
We ended up using a mini-butane torch, which worked really well.
I must say the following: ANY KIDS READING THIS – DO NOT DO THIS WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION. MAKE ALL FIGURES IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. The plastic is really smelly and bad for you. And the butane flame is not good for general health, either.
Luckily, I had Leezle to supervise me.
When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time wishing I had a long skinny monkey tail like the Pink Panther. I imagined how I'd use it to help perform everyday tasks. I still think it would be useful, although I'd opt in for a pointy devil tail these days, which is good for spearing circus peanuts.
When I was a kid, I got in really bad trouble for playing with matches. I had a lot of army men, which I thought were kind of boring. I decided they needed to undergo genetic anthropomorphic mutation to become more interesting/useful. So, in my basement laboratory, with my assistant little-boy-from-next-door, I set out to create better toys. The trouble was, little-boy-from-next-door burned himself with a match, which brought a world of parent trouble down on me and my genetic anthropomorphic mutation toy laboratory. If I'd had a tail, I wouldn't have needed an assistant in the first place and wouldn't have lost my laboratory.
Some of my creations were awesome – a three armed ax wielding warrior with no head, a two headed cowboy, a barrel chested headless monster…etc.
Being an adult is awesome because I don't have to worry about parents shutting down my lab. I only have to worry about the fumes from melting plastic. NOTE: KIDS – DO NOT DO THIS WITHOUT PARENTAL SUPERVISION.
I'll be back – there's some pretty interesting action happening in the backyard right now.

Microsoft Shows Off at Mobicom
Niall McKay
Microsoft research was on parade at the Mobicom technical conference in Seattle, where attendees looked into the future of wireless. Niall McKay reports from Seattle.
SEATTLE -- Indoor wireless networks to guide you to your next meeting or connect you to the nearest printer. 3D desktops. Software that answers a question literally, rather than with a thousand Web links. Even singing computers. These are just some of the miracles Microsoft Vice President of Research Richard Rashid demonstrated Tuesday at MobiCom.
"Of course, this is research, not a product road map, so when it doesn't appear next year you can't say it's late," he quipped.
Rashid, speaking to the 400 scientists, researchers, and academics at the MobiCom technical conference dedicated to the world of wireless devices and networks, said that Moore's law (that computer capacity doubles every 18 months) has taken a Y2K holiday.
"Capacity is doubling every six months. We are seeing Wide Area Network technology increasing by a factor of 64 in a couple of years, multimedia technology increasing by a factor of 100 in three years, and storage increasing by a factor of seven in two years."
Furthermore, Rashid believes that wireless networking is on the cusp of revolutionizing the computer industry. "The number of people connected to wireless networks will grow to over a billion by 2004," he said.
This growth will be fueled by the proliferation of invisible computing or mobile wireless devices that connect to a network to carry out tasks.
Rashid demonstrated several wireless research projects underway at Microsoft.
Project Radar is described as a type of indoor GPS system. By placing a number of wireless sensors in a building, a robot's or human's position can be pinpointed and the information used to guide them to their destination. The system could be useful to engineers trying to locate the vending machines or frustrated executives looking for their next meeting.
Then there is Project Tempo, a research project using a similar technology to locate and connect to the nearest printer or overhead projector in a given building.
For those who want to manage household devices from a remote location there is Project Aladdin, a technology that uses a standard email package such as Microsoft Outlook to control devices like a garage door or a video tape recorder.
However, conference attendees had mixed reactions to Rashid's presentation.
"I suppose that listening to Microsoft for an hour and a half is the price we have to pay for their sponsorship of the conference," said Dan Chalmer, an academic from the computer department of Imperial College in London. "I don't think that Microsoft was really showing any original research but just applications using some of the new technologies available on the market today."
For others, some of the most interesting aspects of Rashid's presentation had little or nothing to do with pure wireless technology. For instance, Rashid demonstrated new speech synthesis technology that sounded very like a human voice -- and even sang a few rifts from the Simon and Garfunkel classic Scarborough Fair.
"Well it's not going to put Simon and Garfunkel out of business," said Rashid. "But it's a great improvement on the very first singing computer, called Daisy, which AT&T built in 1962."
Rashid also talked about MindNet, a data mining application that can dynamically find structure in the English language. The original research for MindNet was used in the Word 97 grammar-checking function.
"The ultimate goal is to be able to answer a natural language query with a natural language answer instead of serving up thousands of URL," he said.
Still, it was difficult to sort out the science from the science fiction, said Srinivasan Seshan, an IBM research scientist. "It will be interesting to see if any of these research projects ever make it to production."


Olaplex - On Event Production Co.
THE CHALLENGE: Over the years, On has worked on an on-going basis with revolutionary haircare brand, Olaplex. On the back of a trusted relationship, On was asked to design and build their 180 square metre exhibition stand at the Salon International exhibition, the UK's largest hair show held at London's ExCeL.
INSPIRING AN AUDIENCE: As a trusted brand, with proven scientific results, it was important for Olaplex to be able to both entertain and educate, to engage with its audience around the performance of the products. The brand, with its premium and clean appeal, also required the same execution with its exhibition space. The detail, production, style and functionality of the stand created by On played a crucial role in what was a hugely successful event for them.

A book urging national self-introspection
Liton Chakraborty Mithun
Bangalir Joi Bangalir Berthota by F. R. Al-Siddique, Publisher - Parama, Distributor - Popular Publishers, published in: February 2000
Liton Chakraborty Mithun comes across the indications, precedents and evidence of a patriotic author
Among the Bengalis scientists are not many in number. The number of scientists having a good command over the Bengali language and writing thoughtful essays on interesting socio-political issues is even fewer. Given these facts, nuclear scientist F. R. Al-Siddique has appeared as a refreshingly glorious exception.
This Dhaka-born academic's collection of essays titled Bangalir Joi Bangalir Berthota has recently snuggled its way into my bookshelf. As I have sat for my weekly ritual of writing a book review, the book comes to my mind like a no-brainer. The catchy title itself is enough for a Bengali nationalist like me to grab the book and page through it. Below are my highlights of the book for you.
Right from the beginning the writer has proved his nationalistic streak as a patriotic Bengali. He goes on to explain why 'Joy Bangla' should be our national victory cry in spite of political differences among the parties. Referring to the nationalistic slogans of some major Muslim countries, he says that there is nothing un-Islamic with the word "Joy" as some political parties claim.
He also argues that the catchword "Zindabad" has nothing to do with Islamic culture as its use is limited to the sub-continent only. He maintains that the slogan "Joy Bangla" is not a possession of any single political party. Rather, each and every Bengali has a glorious stake in it. Moreover, he opines that our national leaders with Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib at the top are our common national asset. He argues against any form of politicization of our greatest national heroes. To put it simply, this stance of the writer is quite impressive to me.
F. R. Al-Siddique strengthens his appeal to me as he dismisses the disturbing tendency of our major political parties to narrow our War of Liberation down to their own party-narrative. He makes a bold statement that the legacy of this glorious historic achievement belongs to Bengalis of all socio-political stripes. On top of that, he proves to have had the insight of a social scientist as he discovers a self-deprecating attitude of a large section of the Bengalis regarding Pakistan. He names this attitude, servile at its core, "Paki-philia".
Despite the brutal experience of genocide and large-scale rape in 1971, a frustratingly big portion of the people feels a slavish pull toward their former masters. After a detailed unfolding of this uncouth reality, he traces an element of masochism in our national psyche regarding the Pakistan experience.
However, he presses the demand that Pakistan should return to Bangladesh its due as well as a compensation for the havoc they wrecked on the Bengalis. The article in which he makes this demand created an uproar and sensation immediate after its first publication in a newspaper. Some of the written criticisms on the article were appended to the book, much to my satisfaction.
In addition to political issues, Al-Siddique gives a commendable attention to our socio-economic matters. He takes immense pride in the fact that two Bengalis received Nobel Prizes and two other Nobel Laureates from the sub-continent had a remarkable Bengali-affiliation. But, he does not seem complacent and rues the fact that most Bengalis are still poor and illiterate.
He lays emphasis on the import of education as a key change-maker in national life. In the same spirit, he criticizes the education policy available then that favored unduly the rich segment of society. This nonsense, in my observation, continues even now. He expresses his hope for a positive change in the education system that would put the nation on a right course.
Besides, he expresses his satisfaction in the recent peace deal signed by the then Bangladesh government and the Shanti Bahini, a guerilla outfit from the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT). By a thorough vivisection of the recent history of the sub-continent, the writer makes a humanitarian appeal to stop discriminating against and repressing the ethnic minorities of the country. On top of that, he unleashes the probable beneficiaries of any unrest and unjust warfare within the territory of Bangladesh. Moreover, he advises us repeatedly to learn from history, which I find quite telling.
In the book of essays Bangalir Joi, Bangalir Berthota, Al-Siddique shows how an organic intellectual looks and thinks like. He spices up almost each of the chapter with verses from Rabi Tagore, Nazrul Islam, Satyendranath Dutta and a few other poets. He also employs with an equal ease proverbs, sayings and rhymes from colloquial Bengali. His is a prose of captivating charm and poetical flavor. Besides, his arguments are strongly accentuated and fact-based. Truth be told, I have found a kindred spirit in this senior fellow.
To wrap up my discussion, I must call myself lucky to have stumbled on this old book in an open makeshift bookshop last week. I have learned nuggets of information concerning our national as well as sub-continental history from this rare piece of intellectual work. I believe this kind of book is very necessary for the promotion of our national self-glory and confidence. I also strongly recommend that the book Bangalir Joi Bangalir Berthota come out in further editions and reach out to appreciating readers.

Trust lays solid foundation for all relations, especially VN-US ties
14.07.2020 ~ Trần Đình Hoành
VGP – Trust always lays a solid foundation for all relations, and it is even more important factor for the Viet Nam-US ties, wrote Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh in his recent article on occasion of the 25th anniversary of normalization of Viet Nam-US diplomatic ties.
The following is translation of the article for reference:
A quarter century has gone since US President Bill Clinton and Vietnamese Prime Minister Vo Van Kiet officially declared normalization of Viet Nam-US diplomatic relations, thanks to the sides' tireless efforts, both countries have become friends and comprehensive partners across all fields and the prospect of the bilateral ties remains broad.
The celebration of the 25th anniversary of the diplomatic ties offers an opportunity for the two countries to review the past journey and work together to advance the ties commensurate with potentials of the ties as well as aspirations of the two nations. It is trust which is always a solid foundation for all relations whether it is between individuals or nations.
Trust can be created, nurtured and looked after through practical deeds, goodwill and sincerity, and Viet Nam-US relations is a clear evidence of that. Trust becomes even more important factor for relations between countries that were once foes. In reality, cooperation in handling war consequences laid the first bricks of trust between Viet Nam and the US.
>>> US Secretary of State's statement on 25th anniversary of VN-US diplomatic relations
After the Paris Agreement was signed in 1975, Viet Nam unilaterally organized teams to search, excavate and hand over remains of more than 300 American solders to the US side. Thousands of Vietnamese people, who have not found their relatives who lost their lives in the war, still volunteered to join the efforts to search for remains of the opposite side's soldiers.
It were the great efforts of the Government of Viet Nam as well as the friendliness and readiness to shelve the past of the Vietnamese people that contributed to affect the US side's thoughts on healing the war pain. The two countries have worked together to repatriate more than 1,000 sets of remains of American solders and identified remains of over other 800 missing soldiers. For its side, the US provided information and documents related to Vietnamese soldiers who died in the war, helping Viet Nam to find, collect and rebury nearly 1,500 sets of remains of martyrs.
The US Administration has increased budget funding for overcoming war legacy, completed detoxification project at Da Nang airport in 2018, and is embarking on another detoxification project in Bien Hoa airport. It also offered US$125 to support around one million disabled people in Viet Nam and financed US$130 million for several projects on clearance of unexploded bombs and mines in the Southeast Asian country. Viet Nam recognizes the US efforts in overcoming the war consequences.
Shelving the past, looking to the future
With the guideline of shelving the past and looking to the future, Viet Nam has worked with the US to build up cooperative ties on the basis of mutual benefits, equality, and respect for each other's political systems, independence, and territorial integrity. This is the consistent guideline of Viet Nam's foreign policy, which is in accordance with the spirit of friendship and peace-loving tradition of the Vietnamese nation. Thanks to the tireless efforts made by the two nations and especially the two peoples, the Viet Nam-US ties have developed in both depth and width on all fields and levels, truly reflecting the nature of the comprehensive partnership.
Political-diplomacy relations have gradually expanded with regular exchange of high-level delegations. Since 2000, leaders of the two countries have made 10 visits, including three visits by the Vietnamese leaders, namely State President Truong Tan Sang (2013), Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong in 2015, and Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc (2017). For the US side, all incumbent Presidents visited Viet Nam. Each visit opened up new chapter for the bilateral ties.
The two sides' leaders have adopted eight Joint Statements, in which the 2013 Joint Statement on establishment of comprehensive partnership figuring out nine key pillars of cooperation and identifying for the first time such principles as cooperation for mutual benefits, equality, and respect for each other's political systems, independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity. The 2015 Joint Statement rolled out the shared vision of the bilateral ties and emphasized the view to deepen long-term partnership and strengthen coordination over regional and international issues. The 2017 Joint Statement mapped out a roadmap to further deepen the ties. Especially, the US hospitality for Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong during his visit in 2015 reflected the full respect for Viet Nam's political system and the comprehensive leadership of the Party.
The American Administration and Congress have affirmed on several occasions that they attach importance to consolidating the comprehensive partnership, support Viet Nam to become a strong, independent and prosperous, and highly value Viet Nam's role in its policy toward the region.
Comprehensive and substantial relations
Economic, trade and investment linkage is an important and indispensable part of the ongoing dynamic relations between Viet Nam and the US. The two-way trade rose 170 times to US$76 billion in 2019 from US$450 million in 1995.
The two economies are becoming increasingly supplementary and supportive. The US remains the biggest importer of Vietnamese products, including key exports like aquatic, textile, footwear, and farm produce, etc. Meanwhile, Viet Nam has emerged as one of the fastest-growing markets of US exports. American goods are increasingly favored by Vietnamese people.
On investment, the US is the 11 biggest investor in Viet Nam, with diverse forms of investment in 43 out of 63 provinces and cities. Many American business giants expect to expand investment in Viet Nam, which has helped the country to gradually navigate itself in the regional and global supply chains.
Scientific and technological cooperation has also witnessed positive progress and expanded to new domains. A number of the top American tech companies expressed their wish to accelerate cooperation in such fields like artificial intelligence, startup, renewable energy, infrastructure development, information technology infrastructure, and high-quality human resource training.
Since the normalization of the ties, education and training cooperation has remarkably advanced as evidenced by growing number of Vietnamese students in the US, from 500 in 1995 to nearly 30,000 in 2020, making Viet Nam the ASEAN's largest source of students learning in the US. The figure does not include students at the Fulbright University in Viet Nam.
Tourism is another bright side of the bilateral ties, with steady increase of American tourists to Viet Nam over years. In 2019, the US Travel Association chose Viet Nam as one of the world's top destinations. For American tourists, Viet Nam is a safe and friendly destination capable of organizing big international events.
Bilateral cooperation is not just limited to bilateral aspect but has been expanded to regional and international issues, which is in line with Viet Nam's policy of proactive and active international integration as well as the interests and development causes of the two countries. Bilateral coordination is becoming increasingly closer at regional and international fora like the UN, APEC, ARF, EAS, etc., and over major issues like non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, trans-national crime combat, peace-keeping operations, sustainable development in Mekong Sub-region, and acceleration of ASEAN-US strategic partnership.
The two countries have also fostered cooperation in ensuring freedom, safety and security of navigation and aviation in the region, beefed up settlement of disputes through peaceful measures on the basis of international law, including the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, especially when Viet Nam is the current ASEAN Chair and non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, in order to make practical contributions to peace, cooperation and development in the region and the world.
Overcoming divergences, weaving the future
Like any other relationship between countries, it is understandable that the relationship between Viet Nam and the US contains divergences as both countries have diverse cultures and histories, different political systems and development levels. However, above all, the two countries have demonstrated the spirit of respecting each other's political systems, independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, enhanced dialogue and cooperation while reducing divergences that may affect the ties, and maintained goodwill to address divergences in a frank, open and constructive manner.
The two countries are working together on matters concerned by the US, including the implementation of an action plan toward harmonized and balanced trade ties. Both sides will continue dialogues on democracy-human rights-religions.
After 25 years of normalization of the ties and seven years of establishment of the comprehensive partnership, the fruits of the bilateral ties show that cooperation based on fairness, mutual benefits, respect for each other's political systems, independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, respect for the UN Charter and other basic principles of international law has proved to be the right choice of Viet Nam and the US. This is the inevitable as it is in line with the common interests of the two peoples. During his visit to the US in 2015, Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong said: From former foes, we have become friends, partners, and comprehensive partners. The past could not be changed but our responsibilities determine the future.
It is hoped that the achievements of the past 25-year journey will be the driving force for young generations of the two countries to lift up the bilateral ties to new heights in line with the two people's interests, contributing to peace, stability, cooperation and prosperity in Asia-Pacific and the world./.

College basketball: R.J. Davis scores 16 to help No. 14 UNC beat UNLV; No. 17 Texas edges Davidson
North Carolina guard R.J. Davis (4) leaps to shoot a basket over UNLV guard Bryce Hamilton (13) in the first half of the Maui Invitational tournament on Monday in Asheville, N.C.
(Kathy Kmonicek / Associated Press)
ASHEVILLE, N.C. —
Freshman R.J. Davis scored 16 points and No. 14 North Carolina recovered from an ugly start to beat UNLV 78-51 on Monday night in the first round of the relocated Maui Invitational.
Garrison Brooks added 14 points and surpassed the 1,000-point mark for his career in the first half for the Tar Heels (2-0), who fell behind 13-0 and didn't score for the first 6 1/2 minutes. But UNC gradually closed the gap, then had a 28-4 run spanning halftime to build its own big lead on the way to a rout.
Senior reserve Andrew Platek had 11 points and hit a pair of first-half 3-pointers as UNC sputtered out of the tipoff.
Bryce Hamilton scored 15 points for the Runnin' Rebels (0-2), who went from hitting everything to missing everything as the Tar Heels took over. After that 5-for-5 start, UNLV made just 13 of 57 shots (22.8%) the rest of the way.
No. 17 Texas 78, Davidson 76
Courtney Ramey had the go-ahead driving score with 20 seconds left for No. 17 Texas in the opening game of the Maui Invitational.
Ramey's score broke a 76-all tie, then the Longhorns (2-0) came up with a pair of stops on the final possession, when the Wildcats (1-1) had a chance to tie or win.
Davidson's Sam Mennenga missed a contested 3-pointer from the wing, but the Wildcats got another shot when the ball went out of bounds with 3.8 seconds left.
The Wildcats inbounded again to Mennenga, who missed a final 3 for the win with Texas' Andrew Jones closely defending him. Mennenga turned toward the official at the horn, while Davidson coach Bob McKillop also protested slightly before leaving the court.
Ramey scored 14 points to lead the Longhorns. Jones finished with 13 points in his season debut, as did Kai Jones.
Mennenga scored 17 points to lead Davidson.

We would then visit the beautiful Pan sarovar which is the most important lakes amongst all in Mathura. Then later, we would visit to continue to Barsana which was the birth place of Radha. Barsana is also the place where there are a lot of temples dedicated only Radha. Then visit the place where the beloved Krishna and his counterpart, Radha met for the first time. Stay at the hotel for the night.
We would begin our journey by moving to Agra and then would begin our excursion by visiting various landmarks of Agra such as the Taj Mahal and the Agra fort. Later, we would drive to Delhi and then upon arrival check into the hotel and stay there.
Your Holy Land of Krishna tour ends here. Move to the International Airport and then board a flight to your home place.

American architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) designed more than 500 completed projects: Homes, schools, skyscrapers, churches, offices, museums. And one synagogue.
When Beth Shalom Congregation moved from downtown Philadelphia to the suburbs, the synagogue board wanted to make a bold statement with their architecture–and so they hired Wright to redesign their building.
Construction began in 1953 and was completed in 1959. Wright designed the building to look like a "luminous Mount Sinai," with an extravagant fountain at its entrance, carpet that's meant to look like desert sands, and a mountain-like roof that looks a bit like a Klingon spacecraft.
The building, which is in Elkins Park, PA, has been accorded status as a National Historic Landmark. Wright's design surrounds congregants with meaningful symbols, adding a new spiritual dimension to the very act of going to synagogue.


As part of the EVR 1001C Course, 24 students and Prof Kelli Stickrath visited the Suncoast Primate Sanctuary on Wednesday November 1st. After a short tour, they helped the facility and had fun painting a fence next to the monkey cages. The facility is going to celebrate its 70th year in 2018 and SPC students are helping prepare for the big event. The SPS Board of Director President praised the group saying we put in 25 hours of manual labor that would have taken a volunteer a week to do what we did in an hour. Job well done by the SPC students!
The Suncoast Primate Sanctuary provides a loving, enriching home to these great apes and monkeys raised in captivity and have been acquired via zoos closing, unwanted pets, and used in pharmaceutical research. The Sanctuary runs purely on donations and visitors. We were happy to help the animals by beautifying their home and enjoying the day at this treasure found right in Palm Harbor.

This patient in her early forties came to the office to discuss a Breast Lift (Mastopexy) procedure with Dr. Connors. She felt her breasts were too large and, that as she aged, her they had lost volume. She also had concerns with asymmetry. She wanted to go from a preoperative D Cup to an A Cup postoperatively. Dr. Connors used two incisions (one around the areola and one vertically down the breast) in order to remove the appropriate amount of breast tissue to create symmetry, her desired size, and to lift the breasts. With the Mastopexy procedure, Dr. Connors was able to give her the smaller, fuller breasts she desired.

My mother is pretty tech savvy. She reads my blog and can follow a twitter post, but when it comes to commenting she prefers to send an email. Her recent email has me thinking. She'd been reading my blog about looking to local water supplies as a way of dealing with California's water crisis. Her comment was that even in sleepy Sedbergh, northern England, they are using untreated water from the fell to flush public toilets. But her other comment — that almost every home in Victorian England harvested rainwater — had me thinking.
To me it was another case of returning to a more local, decentralized approach. Take three examples.
And of course, we're capturing, storing and using water that falls on our properties to flush toilets and water yards.
All this is happening at the same time that political power and decision making is being shifted closer to the people. As Washington and Westminster face partisan gridlock, political power and decision making are being devolved to regions. That's where the action is: closer to the people who see the results.
All this is good, as far as it goes. But it risks fostering disparity as some regions soar, while others are left behind.
I think the challenge ahead is to encourage and support local innovation and specialization, while maintaining the best of the centralized approach. When we're able to do that, regions will thrive and the state and nation as a whole will flourish. After all, as tasty as my local organic potato is, it's nice to eat the occasional juicy strawberry. Even if you live in northern Britain.


What makes a music lover prefer vinyl?
It's also about the sound.
Gault's store celebrated its first international Record Store Day on Saturday, April 16 by selling vintage vinyl records and the period machines that play them.
The first Record Store Day in 2008 was conceived by a group of U.S. record store owners and staff to celebrate the vinyl culture that spins in about 1,400 independently owned domestic stores along with thousands in international locations. Special vinyl and CD releases along with other related products, like turntables and local record pressings, are made for the annual day. Some cities like New York, Los Angeles, Boise and Las Vegas have declared it an official holiday.
"Vintage receivers, record players and speakers really pull [the sound] out," he said.
People like vinyl for different reasons, said Rob Sexton, owner of Planet Retro Records on Central Avenue in St. Petersburg.
"I paid $5.60 in 1964 to see the Beatles in Cincinnati Gardens," said lifelong fan Diana Johantges of Dunedin. That's $43.02 of buying power in today's money, adjusted for inflation. She and her husband are enjoying their first year in Florida and took advantage of Record Store Day to hunt for specific vinyl to add to their collection. "I didn't have Anna," she said. The couple travelled to Gulfport Records for the first time on Saturday, April 16 where she found the hard-to-find song as part of the album collection on a clean used copy of the The Early Beatles.
There's no question vinyl is popular. According to a September 2015 report released by the Record Industry Association of America, vinyl record sales were 36 percent higher than ad-supported streaming music services from from January to June 2015. In total dollar figures, vinyl was $221.8 million compared to streaming's $162.7 million.
Taking a cell phone call during his third annual Record Store Day, Sexton's answer to a young person's question was, "Every place on Earth is sold out of Twenty One Pilots." He ordered 20 of the special release vinyl albums and got eight for the sale day. Before noon, he was sold out.
He also sold out of 10 new, three-speed 2016 special edition Mickey Mouse Crosley Cruiser portable record players by late morning.
"I just bought my first record and record player," said Planet Retro shopper Amanda Miller of St. Petersburg. Welsh pop punk Neck Deep's newest title Life's Not Out to Get You motivated her to make her purchase along with encouragement from her friend, Amanda Starling of St. Petersburg. Starling has been into vinyl for four years and likes indy punk along with Emo or emotional music.
Miller opted for the Disney-themed record player as opposed to one made by Audio-Technica.


Mediation is an informal and confidential way for people to resolve disputes with the help of a neutral mediator who is trained to help people discuss their differences. The mediator does not decide who is right or wrong or issue a decision. Instead, the mediator helps the parties work out their own solutions to problems.
Voluntary- You can leave at any time for any reason, or no reason.
Collaborative- As no participant in mediation can impose anything on anyone, everyone is motivated to work together to solve the issues and reach best agreements.
Controlled- Each participant has complete decision-making power and a veto over each and every provision of any mediated agreement. Nothing can be imposed on you.
Confidential - Mediation is generally confidential, as you desire and agree, be that by statute, contract, rules of evidence and/or privilege. Mediation discussions and all materials developed for a mediation are generally not admissible in any subsequent court or other contested proceeding, except for a finalized and signed mediated agreement. Your mediator is obligated to describe the extent of mediation confidentiality and exceptions to that confidentiality. The extent of confidentiality for any "caucus meetings" (meetings between the mediator and individual parties) should also be defined.
Impartial, Neutral, Balanced and Safe- The mediator has an equal and balanced responsibility to assist each mediating party and cannot favor the interests of any one party over another, nor should the mediator favor a particular result in the mediation. Your mediator is ethically obligated to acknowledge any substantive bias on issues in discussion. The mediator's role is to ensure that parties reach agreements in a voluntarily and informed manner, and not as a result of coercion or intimidation.
The beauty of mediation is that can be used in your personal and professional life. Mediation can be used to negotiate with 2 or more people. When parties come to the table with an open mind as well as what they are willing to live with and live without; creative workable and real life solutions are crafted.
Mediation is OPN-Door Communications' premiere service and we would be happy to provide you with guidance as to how this service maybe be used to assist you in resolving your concerns.

Kvadrat: the Danish textile authority loved by designers and artists
The go-to textile brand for designers and architects worldwide, Danish company Kvadrat is rooted in Scandinavian design tradition and regularly collaborates with some of the world's most exciting creatives.
Kvadrat history: from the start
The history of Kvadrat started in in the early 1960 with a small interior design shop in Aarhus, founded by Poul Byriel and Erling Rasmussen. The brand started a few years later, thanks to a colourful fabric collection by Nanna Ditzel called Hallingdaal, acquired by Byriel and launched in 1968 under the company name Kvadrat (meaning 'square' in Danish). The rest, as they say, is design history.
Kvadrat's art and design collaborations
Pushing the boundaries of textile design from the very start, Kvadrat's upholstery textiles are created by some of the world's most celebrated talents (or, as they like to say, an 'extended family'). Byriel and Rasmussen's heirs continue to run the company with a passionate take on design and creativity.
Some of the company's most notable collaborations include a range of textiles and home accessories by Raf Simons (launched under the Kvadrat x Raf Simons brand name), a series of textile-based products by long-term collaborators Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, as well as fruitful textile collaborations with designers like Patricia Urquiola, Doshi Levien and Giulio Ridolfo.
Kvadrat textiles are regularly part of artists' installations in art museums and galleries across the globe, from Dahn Vo and Olafur Eliasson to Pipilotti Rist and Sarah Lucas.
Textiles and beyond: a family of dynamic design brands
The world of Kvadrat doesn't end with one brand. Over the years, the company has expanded its reach by launching and acquiring like-minded brands to create a harmonious textile family.
This network includes Kvadrat/Raf Simons as well as Kinnasand, a brand that for over two centuries has specialized in subtle nordic textile designs for the home, and Sahco, a company producing home textiles with classical aesthetic references. In 2017, Kvadrat also launched Really, a company making boards out of textile waste, that can be used for furniture and which debuted with a collection by Max Lamb.
Respect for the environment is at the core of everything Kvadrat does. Sustainability has been a part of the company's philosophy since its founding in 1968, and in 2013 Kvadrat has joined the United Nations Global Compact (the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative). Textiles are made to last to ensure their quality and longevity, production processes are continually innovated and fine-tuned to reduce environmental impact and waste, while pioneering techniques are developed to reuse leftover materials and recycle consumer materials.
This approach, as well as its strong design ethos, has helped make Kvadrat one of the most well-respected design brands in the world today.

va ser un compositor, pianista, director i educador estatunidenc d'origen alemany.

Biografia
Ingolf va néixer com Walter Ingolf Marcus. A Hamburg, Alemanya, d'un pare jueu alemany, l'advocat Paul Marcus, i a la seva dona sueca Hilda Maria Dahl. Va tenir dos germans, Gert (1914-2008; un destacat artista i escultor suec, i guanyador de la medalla Prince Eugen), i Holger, i una germana Anna-Britta.

A Hamburg, Dahl va estudiar piano amb Edith Weiss-Mann, clavecinista, pianista i defensora de la música antiga. Ingolf va estudiar amb Philipp Jarnach a la "Hochschule für Musik Köln" (1930–32). Dahl va sortir d'Alemanya quan el Partit Nazi estava arribant a el poder i va continuar els seus estudis a la Universitat de Zuric, juntament amb Volkmar Andreae i Walter Frey. Convivint amb parents i treballant a l'Òpera de Zuric durant més de sis anys, va passar de pràctiques al rang d'ajudant de direcció. Va ser professor de cant i director del cor de les estrenes mundials d'Alban Berg, Lulu i de Paul Hindemith Mathis der Maler.

Atès que Suïssa es va tornar cada cop més hostil envers els refugiats jueus (incloses les persones amb descendència parcial jueva) i el paper de Dahl a l'Òpera es va limitar a tocar a l'orquestra, va emigrar als Estats Units el 1939. Allà va utilitzar el nom d'Ingolf Dahl, basat en el seu segon cognom original i el cognom de soltera de la seva mare. Va mentir constantment sobre els seus antecedents, afirmant ser de naixement suec i negar la seva herència jueva (Marcus era un cognom jueu reconegut). Va afirmar haver emigrat un any abans del que realment havia fet. Es va establir a Los Angeles i es va unir a la comunitat de músics expatriats que incloïa Ernst Krenek, Darius Milhaud, Arnold Schönberg, Ígor Stravinski i Ernst Toch. Va tenir una carrera musical variada com a pianista solista, intèrpret de teclat (piano i clavicèmbal), acompanyant, director, professor, compositor i crític. Va produir una traducció interpretativa de Pierrot Lunaire de Schönberg a l'anglès i va traduir, sol o amb un col·laborador, obres com Poètica de la música de Stravinski. Va interpretar moltes de les obres de Stravinski i el compositor va quedar prou impressionat per contractar a Dahl per crear una versió de dos pianos de les seves Danses concertantes, i notes del programa per a altres treballs. El 1947, amb Joseph Szigeti, va produir una reconstrucció del Concert per a violí en re menor de Bach.

També va treballar a la indústria de l'entreteniment, fent de gira com a pianista a Edgar Bergen i els seus titelles el 1941 i més tard per a l'humorista Gracie Fields el 1942 i el 1956. Va produir arranjaments musicals per a Tommy Dorsey i va actuar com a arranjador/director de Victor Borge. També va impartir classes particulars de repertori clàssic a Benny Goodman. Va actuar amb instruments de teclat en les orquestres de bandes sonores per a moltes pel·lícules a Fox, Goldwyn Studios, Columbia, Universal, MGM i Warner Bros, així com a la companyia de postproducció Todd-AO. També va treballar al programa de televisió "The Twilight Zone". Tot i estar agraït pels ingressos que proporcionava aquest treball, es va queixar mentre treballava a Spartacus de com era inútil "tintinar algunes notes sobre el celeste" quan les notes també són duplicades per diversos altres instruments, tot per un passatge presentat al públic sota efectes de so i veus d'actors. Dahl va dirigir la banda sonora de The Abductors (1957) del seu alumne Paul Glass i va interpretar el segon i el tercer moviment de la Sonata Pathétique de Beethoven a la pel·lícula d'animació de 1969 A Boy Named Charlie Brown.

Entre les seves composicions, la més freqüentment interpretada és el Concert per a saxòfon alt i orquestra de vent encarregat i estrenat per Sigurd Raschèr el 1949. Posteriorment va completar encàrrecs per a la Filharmònica de Los Angeles i les fundacions Koussevitsky i Fromm. El seu darrer treball, complet i parcialment orquestrat a la seva mort el 1970, va ser el Concert Elegia per a violí i orquestra de cambra. El 1999, un crític que va revisar un enregistrament de les obres de Dahl el va anomenar un "compositor espeluznant", "un encreuament entre Stravinski i Hindemith".

Va canviar legalment el seu nom per Ingolf Dahl el febrer de 1943 i es va convertir en ciutadà nord-americà naturalitzat el setembre d'aquest mateix any. El 1945 es va incorporar a la facultat de la Universitat del Sud de Califòrnia a Los Angeles, on va ensenyar la resta de la seva vida. El 1952 va ser nomenat primer cap del "Tanglewood Study Group", un programa dirigit no a professionals, sinó "als aficionats i aficionades a la música intel·ligents, també a l'estudiant general de música i educador musical". Entre els seus estudiants més destacats hi havia el director d'orquestra Michael Tilson Thomas i els compositors Harold Budd i David Cope. El 1957 va co-dirigir "l'Ojai Music Festival" en col·laboració amb Aaron Copland i va exercir de director musical del 1964 al 1966.

Entre els honors de Dahl hi havia una beca Guggenheim en composició musical el 1951, dues beques "Huntington Hartford", un premi a l'excel·lència en la docència de la Universitat del Sud de Califòrnia, el premi ASCAP Stravinski i una beca del "National Institute of Arts and Letters" a 1954.

Va morir a Frutigen, Suïssa, el 6 d'agost de 1970, poques setmanes després de la mort de la seva dona el 10 de juny.

 Vida personal
Des de la seva adolescència, Dahl va ser inicialment bisexual, però a partir d'aleshores, "la seva preferència i parcialitat... van romandre en els homes". Va tenir les seves primeres experiències homosexuals als 16 anys amb el pintor Eduard Bargheer. Va mantenir secreta la seva orientació sexual en la seva vida professional, fins i tot mentre catalogava en els seus diaris una àmplia varietat d'enamoraments, assumptes, proves i relacions. Després de venir a Amèrica, Dahl es va casar amb Etta Gornick Linick, a qui havia conegut a Zuric. Va acceptar la seva homosexualitat, el va ajudar a mantenir-la amagada i va compartir el seu afecte amb un amant que Dahl havia conegut en un viatge a Boston i que ocasionalment hi visitava.Linisk, 528, 531, 566–7, 582 Va mantenir una relació íntima, encara que mai exclusiva, durant els darrers quinze anys de la seva vida amb Bill Colvig, a qui va conèixer en un viatge de senderisme al Sierra Club.

Les notacions dels seus manuscrits mostren que de vegades trobava inspiració en els seus companys masculins per a les seves composicions. Hymn (1947) es va inspirar en la història de Dahl amb un estudiant d'art que va conèixer a la USC i els moviments d'''Un cicle de sonets (1967) porten les inicials d'uns altres dos.

El seu fillastre només es va assabentar de la seva homosexualitat en una carta de condol que va rebre el fillastre a la mort de Dahl. Va valorar la relació entre els bàndols públics i privats de Dahl amb aquestes paraules:

Reconeixement posterior
La música de Dahl s'ha enregistrat als discos de Boston Records, Capstone, Centaur, Chandos Records, CRI, Crystal, Klavier , MKH Medien Kontor Hamburg, Nimbus i Summit.

Entre els estudiants de Dahl hi ha els directors d'orquestra nord-americans Michael Tilson Thomas, Lawrence Christianson, William Hall, William Dehning, Frank A. Salazar, el pianista William Teaford i els compositors Morten Lauridsen i Lawrence Moss. Tilson Thomas el va valorar així: La Music Library de la Universitat del Sud de Califòrnia (USC) té l'arxiu Ingolf Dahl. Inclou partitures, manuscrits, papers i cintes. Dahl també va guardar un diari en volums anuals des del 1928 fins a la seva mort el 1970. El 2012 el seu fillastre, Anthony Linick, que va escriure una extensa biografia d'Ingolf, els va donar a la USC.

Els capítols de la Costa Oest de la Societat Americana de Musicologia presenten anualment el Premi Memorial Ingolf Dahl en Musicologia.

Recentment, hi ha hagut un ressorgiment d'interès per la història de la família Marcus-Dahl, la seva fugida des d'Hamburg i les contribucions culturals d'Ingolf Dahl i el seu germà, l'escultor Gert Marcus. El 2017 els residents a Groß Borstel van fundar una nova societat, "Initiative Marcus und Dahl", amb l'objectiu de recuperar l'interès per l'obra de Gert Marcus i Ingolf Dahl, així com d'altres artistes que viuen o treballen, o han viscut o treballat, a Gross -Borstel. "Initiative Marcus und Dahl" ha estat responsable de diversos projectes. Entre aquests, es pot citar la producció d'un nou CD el 2018 de la música de cambra d'Ingolf Dahl - Intervals - sota la direcció de Volker Ahmels.

El 2019, Melina Paetzold va produir una biografia en alemany d'Ingolf Dahl.

In a split verdict today, a jury here found that a man who had won millions in the state lottery acted in self-defense when he shot and killed his former lover outside her Chappaqua home, but found him guilty of second-degree murder in the death of her father-in-law during the same gun battle.
Joseph Rukaj, 38, who was wounded in the gunfight, had been charged with first-degree murder and attempted kidnapping in the shooting deaths on Sept. 11, 1996 of Rigaletta Nikc, 31, and her father-in-law, Marc Nikac, 58, who spelled his surname differently. Prosecutors charged that the deaths were the result of a family feud over Mr. Rukaj's assertion that he was the father of one of Mrs. Nikc's daughters.
Mr. Rukaj, who won $17.5 million in a New York State Lotto drawing in 1990, was a cousin of Mr. Nikac, and the bloodshed has split the family. Each day during the seven-week trial, bickering relatives, many wearing mourning clothes, filled each side of the courtroom.
Prosecutors argued that Mr. Rukaj shot the two during an attempt to kidnap Mrs. Nikc's 5-year-old daughter, who he said was his child. They played tape recordings of some of the 16 telephone calls Mr. Rukaj made that day to tell Mrs. Nikc that he was going to come and take his daughter. Prosecutors presented witnesses who testified that Mrs. Nikc had sought an order of protection against Mr. Rukaj just hours before she was shot.
During the trial, prosecutors conceded that DNA results confirmed that Mr. Rukaj was the girl's father and that Mrs. Nikc had shot Mr. Rukaj in the chest before she was killed with a shot to her head. But they said that she was trying to protect her daughter.
The victims and the defendant were immigrants from Albania, and the defense contended that the killings occurred because a centuries-old Albanian code of honor, known as the Kanun, requires retribution for a disgrace. The defense argued that Mr. Rukaj had brought shame to Mrs. Nikc by filing a suit in Family Court asserting that he was the girl's father. In retaliation, the defense argued, Mrs. Nikc and her family plotted to kill Mr. Rukaj.
After the killings, which occurred about 8 P.M. in the darkened driveway of the Chappaqua home, Mr. Rukaj drove to the New Castle police station to report that he had been shot and had returned the gunfire.
When the police interviewed Mrs. Nikc's husband, Antonio, at the house, however, he told them he did not have a gun. The police did not search the house, but the next day, Mr. Nikc admitted to them that he had taken a gun from his wife's side and hidden it behind a ceiling tile, the police said.
Mr. Rukaj, who has been held in the Westchester County jail on $3 million bail since the shootings, is to be sentenced by Judge Kenneth H. Lange of Westchester County Court on May 18. He faces 25 years to life in prison on the murder charge and 15 years on the weapon charge.

The use of force to overcome the cohesion between the particles of solid waste leaving split into small chunks of solid waste in the process .
The solid waste into a form suitable for further processing or can be processed economically shape and size .
2. The main methods of construction waste crushers are?
a. Solid waste according to the force used when broken , can be broken into mechanical energy and non- mechanical energy crusher crushing two kinds.
b. Mechanical energy broken: the fracturing tool and external force is applied to construction waste, crushed , usually including extrusion, impact, shear and friction , tearing , etc. .
c. Non- mechanical energy fragmentation : the use of electricity, heat and other non- mechanical way of solid waste can be broken, such as low temperature crushing, crushing heat , vacuum broken by sonication and so on.
Crushing equipment used for actual production are usually apply two or more of integrated crushing method in crushing of construction wastes, so better to achieve the good crushing effect .
3. Several types of construction waste crusher are?
① Shearing crusher : the fixed blade and the movable blade through the interaction between the solid waste cut or split into a suitable shape and size , suitable for a low silica content of the waste broken loose .
② Hammer crusher : This is a typical impact crusher is the most common industrial crushing equipment. The principle is the use of large motor driven rotor , the rotor hammer articulated above , the hinge axis of rotation, the weight of waste to the projectile after impact crusher impact when the role of the board , as well as the role of the hammer caused by the shearing of waste crushing . Mainly used for crushing medium intensity and less corrosive solid waste , such as mining wastes , hard plastic, scrap metal and other utensils .
③ Jaw crusher : It is a relatively old crushing equipment, mainly by means of the movable jaw periodically close to or away from the fixed jaw , so that the material being squeezed, splitting and bending and broken, has a simple structure , rugged, easy maintenance, working and reliable. Primarily for strength and toughness, corrosion of the waste .
④ Roll crusher : the use of the rotation of the roller , the roller will be made between the waste involved in crushing squeeze . Roll crusher is widely used in small and medium sized industrial and mining enterprises , the advantage of simple structure , reliable operation , low cost, downside is that productivity is relatively low , broken product particle size is not uniform , crushing ratio is not. Roll crusher is suitable for crushing brittle and ductile of the hard , soft, sticky wet materials , but not broken chunks or hard materials.

Maxwell 'shocked' and 'hurt' by fixing allegations
MELBOURNE: Glenn Maxwell has spoken about his anger at being linked to allegations of spot-fixing in an investigative documentary, while also revealing he has previously reported suspicious on-field events in IPL matches to anti-corruption officials. An Al Jazeera exploration of corruption in cricket alleged that Australian players were involved in spot-fixing during the 2017 Ranchi Test against India, in which Maxwell made his first Test century after being recalled. While the documentary did not name Maxwell, match footage included left little doubt that he was one of two Australian players being accused.
Maxwell said he had been informed by Cricket Australia that the documentary was going to air, but was not questioned by anti-corruption officials about allegations of spot-fixing to meet a pre-planned number of runs in a "bracket" of overs on the first day of the match.
It is believed that an ICC investigation into the documentary's various allegations is still ongoing, amid haggling between the governing body and the filmmakers over hours of raw footage collected by Al Jazeera. The possibility remains that Maxwell may still be interviewed about Ranchi. "I was shocked. I was a bit hurt by it as well," Maxwell told SEN Radio. "To have these allegations about your involvement in a game where you've only got happy memories about it, great memories…I still remember the feeling after hugging Steve Smith after getting my maiden Test hundred.
"To have that tarnished by these allegations was pretty devastating and obviously there's absolutely no truth to it whatsoever. It was 100% unfair, to tarnish one of the best moments of my career was pretty brutal.
"The only thing they could have done worse was tarnish that [2015] World Cup win. They're two of the best moments of my career. To say I'd done anything untoward in that game, when I'd just finally got back in the Test side – I'd worked my absolute backside off – to say I'd do anything to ruin that would be absolutely ridiculous."

Q: Jmeter regex extractor alternate option for lookbehind I am trying to extract the value of session id from the response header.Is there an alternate way other than using lookbehind in jemeter?
I verified my regex in regexformatter and its working as expected but as jmeter is not supporting lookbehind, the solution is not working for me.
Response header :
Expires: 0
X-Frame-Options: DENY
x-session-id: 1a5e099f-5234-4
X-Application-Context: test:8080

Regex used is:
  (?<=x-session-id: ).{0,16}

Can someone help me with it?

A: As per Regular Expressions chapter of the JMeter User Manual:

Note that (?<=regexp) - lookbehind - is not supported.

So you can just use something like: x-session-id:\s+(.+) and it should work fine:

More information: Using Regular Expressions to Extract Tokens and Session IDs to Variables

A: The Regular Expression Extractor configuration should be this one:

Regex:

x-session-id: (.*)

A: Assuming that the last character in the session id will be digits. Then you can use the following. If you think the second group in session id will be digits then replace second \w+ with \d+ and it will serve the purpose. Let me know if you think the other dataset may fail this regex.
Regex:(?:\w+-\w+-\d+)
Seems like you have an understanding about Regex so not mentioning the explanation. Let me know if this does not work for you. I will try to come up with another approach but in that scenario please give more datasets.  Good Luck.
