Liberato, Selma C., Bressan, Josefina and Hills, Andrew P. (2013). The role of physical activity and diet on bone mineral indices in young men: a cross-sectional study. Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition,10:43-1-43-7.
Osteoporotic fractures are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in developed countries. Increasing peak bone mass in young people may be the most important primary prevention strategy to reduce the risk of osteoporosis. This study aimed to examine the relationship between dietary factors and physical activity on bone mineralization in young men.
Thirty-five healthy men aged 18–25 y had anthropometric measures, body composition, resting metabolic rate, blood pressure, blood lipids, food intake, physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness assessed.
Participants who consumed more than 1000 mg/d of calcium were taller and had higher levels of whole body mineral content than participants who consumed less than 1000 mg/d of calcium. Similarly, participants who expended more than 20% of total daily energy engaged in moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity had higher cardiorespiratory fitness and higher levels of body mass adjusted bone mineral content than participants who did not meet this level of energy expenditure. There were no differences in blood pressure or blood lipids between participants in calcium or in physical activity energy expenditure categories.
A high intake of dietary calcium and high daily energy expenditure engaged in moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity were positively associated with bone mineralization in young men, particularly in the lumbar region.

This man in his 50's justifyably complained that there are no jobs around, times are difficult. I know this is true. But sometimes it is easy to see wha t you don't have, and less easy to see what you do have, so I suggested to him that it seems that Georgians are rich when it comes to relationships and culture. "Listen, brother, for what do we need love when we don't even have money for rent?" he asked retorically, reminding me that I probably take my material well-being forgranted. Despite our differences we really connected and just like he enriched my life that day, I think I also may have enriched his, simply by hearing him out and sharing some honest thoughts.
The second driver brought up equally thoughtful philosophical aspects of life: "M any have gotten out of touch with spirituality, materialism is all they care about" he said, referring primarily to my [western] society but also to the modern segments of Georgia. That was kind of the point I was trying to get across to the first taximan, that there is more to life than fine material living standards. But then again, that's easy for me to say who's always been able to buy the food, clothing and housing i need..
This fellow shared a citizen's perspective on the conflict at hand. "Russians are our neighbours. We don't have anything against them. It is them up there [politicians, people in power] who's creating these problems." It is not the first time I get this feeling, that most people prefer much to live side by side in peace, not paying attention to different passports but rather the similarities and the benefits of interaction..
After dancing away to the beats of Erykah Badu live in Tbilisi and a glass of sweet red wine in great company I caught another taxi back to the hotel. It was getting late and I needed some rest. A guy my age pulled up his dented worn out BMW with tinted windows. He was more into his smokes and technobeats than discussing philosophy with me, so we sat in silence for a few minutes until he dropped me off.
Needless to say, taxirides here enrich my perspectives on things.
After 6 nights in Tbilisi – for Swedish contingent meeting and a drivers instructors training – it's nice to be back "home" in Gori.. Ready for more patrols tomorrow morning.

Ja, det var fett. Hela Georgiens elit var där kändes det som, kommer inte kändisar av hennes kaliber hit så ofta misstänker jag. Kul att du följer mitt äventyr här! Kram!
OK since it looks like you are forming somewhat of a cyber-groupie following I'll join their ranks with my minor remarks. So I have told you that my childhood was spent in Tbilisi. Now I'll put my money where my mouth is. I'll give you a little brief analysis of your photos.
Photo # 1 from where you took it was my childhood road to-and-from school for 5 consecutive years. The red and white house is a former house residence of one of the many wealthy capitalists of the 19th century (nationality of set person I will withhold haha). In that building I bought my school supplies I doubt that this store is there till this day. Behind that building is where my mom's friend worked at the national museum, often we would stop by her work on the way home and I would run around the empty halls while the two ladies socialized over coffee (Turkish I assume, although as an Armenian I should never use that reference haha). Exactly where you stand while taking the shot across the street is an arch (passage) through that building onto a street where my school stands to this day (at least it was there in 2010) Armenian School #104 (the last of its kind).
Photo # 2 This photo was taken at the footsteps of Narikala citadel. If I'm not mistaken to your left and above is the Statue of Mother Georgia. That neighborhood holds a lot of painful memories for my father, literally within a few blocks into the center of town was the former residence of my great grandfather who was arrested by the man from the town where you currently live, (wink wink) while he was serving as the Minister Of Finance of Georgian SSR in 1936. He was murdered a month later in November of '36 so that makes it 75 years ago. A few blocks down past the church in your photo (there should be another church "bigger one" right next to that one) is where my widowed great grandmother was given a communal apartment and the birth place of my father in 1956. The neighborhood is called Maidan or Maidani (I don't know what Georgians call it these days) it is a very old neighborhood with a significantly diverse population (at one point). If you walk towards the river you can walk past the Armenian Cathedral Saint Sarkis, Georgian Cathedral Sioni, Georgia's main Synagogue and ultimately you would hit the Turkish bath's right before the river.
Photo #3 looks like a very good photo of a friend I went to high school with, seemingly enjoying an imported beverage with a few buddies. I can't quite tell exactly where you are but the Irish flag in the background is misleading. My hunch says its not far from the central square (the one with a huge column of Saint George covered in GOLD). All I know is that I've been on those exact mountains behind you. Actually if I may suggest you take a ride up the tram to where the TV tower is (my favorite childhood activity) chances are to get to the tram station you will pass my old house.
OK enough with this sentimental rhetoric. How are the ladies in Georgia?
Du skriver bra Aron! Alltid roligt att läsa.
Jag hoppas fortfarande på ett besök i vår, om du fortfarande är kvar. Utsikterna ser sämre och sämre ut dock. Både ekonomiskt och tidsmässigt. Precis som du skriver så måste ju det materilla behovet få sitt. Nä, men vi måste spara upp en bufert för vårt fortsatta liv någonstans i världen. Inget Tekniskt Universitet i Gori?
Tack Georg!! Skönt att höra att mina inlägg är läsvärda! Ja, det materiella må få sitt.. Flyttar ni från England i vår eller? Spännande att se vad ni tar er för! Vad det än blir så blir det bra, det är jag övertygad om. Finns ett universitet här i Gori med ett par fakultet, kanske tekniskt, men jag skulle nog satsa på tbilisi i så fall 😉 denna stad är lagom upphetsande i längden… alltid välkommen iaf, vi hörs!


Paolo Uccello (born Paolo di Dono, 1397 - December 10, 1475) was an Italian painter who was notable for his pioneering work on visual perspective in art. Giorgio Vasari in his book Lives of the Artists wrote that Uccello was obsessed by his interest in perspective and would stay up all night in his study trying to grasp the exact vanishing point. He used perspective in order to create a feeling of depth in his paintings and not, as his contemporaries, to narrate different or succeeding stories.

Tasmania's borders could open at the end of October to COVID-safe states, Premier Peter Gutwein says. Mr Gutwein on Friday afternoon said State Controller Darren Hine was looking at that possibility in association with Public Health Services. States that fall into the COVID-safe category at the moment include South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Depending on pandemic management in the coming weeks, the ACT, New South Wales and Queensland could also be identified as COVID-safe. Mr Gutwein said the state's hospital preparedness and preparedness of the aged care sector would also inform the decision on whether to open borders earlier than December 1. "There is a good chance we would be able to open towards the end of the month," he said. The matter of border closures was again raised at a national cabinet meeting on Friday. "The national aspiration is for the country to be open by Christmas," Mr Gutwein said. "We will share that aspiration, but won't put Tasmanians at risk." Mr Gutwein said COVID audits on all Tasmanian aged care facilities would be completed by next week. "I can confidently say from my understanding of the audits is that our aged care sector is well-prepared," he said. In other news: In other announcements, Mr Gutwein said crowd capacity at sporting venues would increase from 500 to 1000 next Friday, ahead of local finals. He said organisers would still need to exhibit they are COVID-safe. This increased capacity will also apply to market events like Harvest in Launceston and the Salamanca Market in Hobart. Mr Gutwein said Tasmanian fly-in, fly-out workers who worked in low-risk jurisdictions could come home without having to go into quarantine from midnight on Sunday He said seasonal workers would be able to enter the state under COVID-safe restrictions from next week to take part in the upcoming picking season. Mr Gutwein said they would need to stay on the farm property for 14 days or at their primary residence unless they were going to work or seeking medical assistance. He said the sector had been working with public health authorities to ensure workplaces had a COVID-safe plan. It is estimated that primary producers need 9000 workers this season. The matter of bringing Australians who were still stranded overseas back home was raised in national cabinet on Friday. Mr Gutwein said Tasmania could not receive flights from overseas as the state did not have an international airport. But he said the government would make a financial contribution towards flights into other states for returning Tasmanian travellers. Mr Gutwein said the government would also look at the option of emergency chartered flights into Tasmania. Public Health Services director Mark Veitch said since May there had been a good level of coronavirus tests taken in the state at around 530 tests a day. "That's enough testing to enable us to identify a very small number of cases of coronavirus if they do start to appear in the Tasmanian population," he said. But Dr Veitch said testing numbers had dropped by 10 per cent over the past weeks. "That's not the direction we want to see it going," he said. "We need to maintain the good levels of testing so we can be absolutely confident that COVID is not circulating in Tasmania."

Mr Bailey said questions were raised on why some businesses who did not appear to be struggling got the money while others missed out.

When will Tasmania's borders open?

Q: parameter is not received in method I have a method which is simple and quite forward.
It is supposed to create a folder if it doesn´t exist.
It takes one string parameter which is properly declared.
When I use it and pass a parameter the receiving variable remains empty which is pretty strange because pathTo_Folder is a path.
Any ideas why this happens?
//Declaration in .h
- (void) createFolder         : (NSString *) thePath  ;

//The call
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
    NSString *homePath = [@"~" stringByExpandingTildeInPath];
    NSString *pathTo_Folder = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/Library/Application Support/prolog/",homePath];
    [self createFolder : pathTo_Folder];
}

//In .m
- (void)    createFolder: thePath {
    BOOL isDir;
    NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager]         ;
    [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:thePath isDirectory: &isDir]          ;

    NSLog(@"Folder '%@' exists: %d",thePath,isDir)                      ;

    if (isDir == FALSE)
    {
        [fileManager createDirectoryAtPath: thePath withIntermediateDirectories:YES attributes:nil error:nil];
    }
}

A: My guess is that since you don't define the type of thePath, the compiler defaults it to an int, and an int doesn't print very well with %@.

A: I don't see any type declaration for the argument thePath selector, it should be
- (void)    createFolder:(NSString*)thePath {
    BOOL isDir;

Probably you don't get a warning because it has a default to id but that will mostly solve the issue. But an id type would be ok in this case, maybe it's some ObjC black magic..

A: This is a little bit cleaner and should work:
- (void) createFolder: (NSString *) thePath;

- (void) applicationDidFinishLaunching: (NSNotification *) aNotification
{
    NSString *appSupportDir = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSApplicationSupportDirectory,
  NSUserDomainMask, YES) lastObject];
    [self createFolder: [appSupportDir stringByAppendingPathComponent: @"prolog"]];
}

- (void) createFolder: (NSString *) thePath
{
    BOOL isDir;
    NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
    if (![fileManager fileExistsAtPath: thePath isDirectory: &isDir]) {
        [fileManager createDirectoryAtPath: thePath withIntermediateDirectories: YES attributes: nil error: nil];
    }
}


Avocados are a wonderful nutrient dense fruit containing a range of vital nutrients needed for a healthy body. Not only are avocados healthy, they're also incredibly delicious and go with all sorts of foods. I particularly love adding avocados to my daily smoothies for the creamy rich texture they add.
In Port Stephens we are lucky that avocados are grown here, in fact you cant get much closer than next door to our warehouse. The farmers at Sandy Hills avocado have been supplying us with the most delicious insecticide free Hass avocados. I love that Real Food Culture is providing our community with access to the best quality food and supporting our local farmers.
Our mindset around food is that we are led to believe we can have whatever we want, whenever we want, anytime of the year, and food doesn't grow like that, well its not meant to. Have a think about how many months of the year avocados are available in our supermarkets. In our local region the avocado picking season is from June to early November.
I know, that means its ending soon.
Knowing that the season is coming to an end I've stated thinking about how many avocados I need to stockpile to keep me going until next year. I'm making a choice to continue to eat avocado out of season, but I'm making a conscious decision about sourcing them locally; because the fruit has maximum vitality, flavour and a higher nutritional profile because it has been freshly picked. Knowing where our food is coming from and how it is grown is really important.
Ill be freezing avocados that I will include in my smoothies and guacamole dips. Its taken me a few attempts to perfect the art of freezing them so I thought I would share with you how I do it.
Real Food Culture sells a bulk avocado pack containing 25 pieces of fruit and this works out the most economical way to purchase the avocados and perfect if you want to start to prepare some of your own fruit as well.
Perfect to add to smoothies and raw food treats.
Using a sharp knife cut the avocado in half. Twist the two halves to separate.
Lay the halves of the avocado onto the baking paper. If its a large avocado you may like to cut into quarters.
Place the baking paper onto a shelve in the freezer, uncovered is fine.
Leave the avocados in the freezer until they are hard and part frozen. I find this is usually a couple of hours. Partially freezing the avocados stops them from sticking together.
Remove from the tray and store in a container of your choice. If storing in a plastic bag try to squeeze out as much air as possible.
Remove avocados as needed from the freezer.
I find I can store these for 6 months in the freezer.
I find guacamole is best made fresh and then frozen. I store it in individual serving sizes and defrost in the refrigerator before use. There are many variations of guacamole, but this is my base recipe, that is easily adapted to add extra spice if required.
Chop onion and garlic in a food processor. Thermomix 2 sec, speed 9. Repeat until no chunks remain.
Add tomato and spring onion to food processor and chop. Thermomix 4 sec, speed 8.
Store in a container of your choice. If storing in a plastic bag try to squeeze out as much air as possible.

"Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart," the celebrated author of The Prophet Khalil Gibran once wrote. While his statement speaks the truth — because it is the inner beauty that really matters — we have to admit that our outer appearance still plays a huge role in our lives.
People who have lost some of their facial features due to a disease or an accident definitely know this. Living with a missing eye socket, contorted nose, or disfigured jaw is not easy. It makes them different from the rest of the world. As a result, there is a high probability that they will lose their self-esteem.
Before that happens, it is important to boost their morale again by showing them that they can still live their life normally as art, medicine, and technology join forces to produce a life-like and personalized facial prosthetics. These three powerful elements — combined together by the ingenious human mind — can transform and leave a life-long positive impact on the lives of the facial prosthetics' beneficiaries.
Traditionally, facial prosthetics were made using outdated traditional methods that require too much time. Maxillofacial surgeons, or the doctors-in-charge of creating custom prosthesis, have to do it manually.
But today, because of the availability of various technology like 3D printing, the production of custom facial prosthetics was streamlined and sped up.
A facial prosthetics if one of the impressive products of combining art, medicine, and technology together.
To create the perfect facial prosthetics that would perfectly blend a human's natural skin, maxillofacial surgeons should have a good grasp of arts. Every detail is important to make it more life-like. Additionally, surgeons should also be knowledgeable about medical fields such as biology, physics, dermatology, maxillofacial surgery, and oncology. They have to determine the unique needs of the patient so they can produce a prosthetics that is not only visually appealing but would also make the wearer comfortable.
The presence of technology in the process is also crucial. It allows even non-physicians collaborate with patients to create facial prosthetics in restoring the latter's anatomical structure. This branch of medicine is known as anaplastology.
The 3D printing technology offers a faster and cheaper way of creating personalized facial prosthetics. Unlike hand-sculpted, painted, and pigmented prosthetics that costs up to $15,000 and took several weeks to finish, 3D printed facial prosthetics is relatively less expensive.
Using this technology, anaplastologists scan the undamaged side of the face and use it as a reference. The defective part is also scanned then integrate the scanned images to create a 3D image of the face which is complete with the pigments of the patient's skin tone.
The future of the patient is basically one of the crucial factors in creating facial prosthetics. If done right, it can help the patient live a normal life without being subjected at all times in other people's searing stares.
In 3D2GO, we are dedicated to crafting excellent facial prosthetics. We have a team of expert designers who can help you or your loved ones 3D print their missing facial feature.

Polyvinyl Records and Owen are thrilled to announce the July 29th release of The King of Whys, the forthcoming record from acclaimed musician and songwriter Mike Kinsella. Produced by S. Carey over 18 days last winter at April Base Studios in Eau Claire, WI, the album is Owen's most inspired and evocative thus far, interpolating a group dynamic into what has long been an intensely intimate sound. It also marks the first work in Kinsella's two-decade-plus career to be made entirely outside of the greater Chicagoland area. Lead single "Lost" is premiering today on NPR Music.The King of Whys will be released outside of North America via Wichita Recordings.
Where Owen's prior outings were almost entirely performed by Kinsella on his own, Carey brought in some of the Badger State's finest players to add new flesh to his bare-boned songcraft. Kinsella, as usual, is up front on guitar, vocals, bass, drums, and bells, accompanied by Carey (keyboards, vocals, drums, bells) and such WI musicians as Zach Hanson, who also served as engineer on the record, violist Michael Noyce, pedal steel guitarist/keyboard player Ben Lester, horns player Andy Hofer, and bassist Jeremy Botcher, all of whom share credits including Bon Iver, S. Carey, The Tallest Man On Earth and more. Together the combo crafts an expansive but still grounded backdrop for Kinsella's candid confessionals.

Music Review: Eric Clapton – Pilgrim
David Bowling November 14, 2009 Comments Off on Music Review: Eric Clapton – Pilgrim 139 Views
Pilgrim, released in early 1998, was Eric Clapton's first album of original material since 1989's Journeyman. In the interim he had released a blues cover album, his number one chart hit Unplugged, and Crossroads 2, which was a live box set. So it was with some anticipation that I awaited this new release and I was somewhat disappointed. Looking back over a decade later I am even more disappointed as a project with B.B. King and a Robert Johnson cover album would quickly follow that were far superior to this release. At the time many of his fans were pleased, however, as it was a big worldwide commercial success.
The album had a very modern feel to it which I'm not sure is always a positive thing where Eric Clapton is concerned. There are drum machines, strings, and synthesizers, all of which push his guitar playing into the background. He is one of the best guitar players in music history and I always want him to step forward and wring the guitar's neck. I can't help but think had he stripped the music back to basics it would have fared a lot better as the songs themselves are mostly fine.
"My Father's Eyes" remains the album's best known song. It is an emotional and poignant ode about his father and son. It won a Grammy award for Best Male Pop Vocal.
There are a few gems that can be mined. "Sick & Tired" is an upbeat song about the blues. "She's Gone" is one of the few instances where he steps forward and lets his guitar playing take over. "Going Down Slow," an old blues classic written by Jimmy Oden and popularized by Howlin' Wolf, tells of a dying man looking back at life. This song, in particular, returns Clapton to his comfort zone and it shows.
Pilgrim is by no means a terrible album; I just think it could have been better. If you are going to spend time exploring the music of Eric Clapton, there are a number of other releases that are more worthwhile.

Imagine a future where solar panels speed off the presses, like newspaper. Australian scientists have brought us one step closer to that reality.
Researchers from the Victorian Organic Solar Cell Consortium (VICOSC) have developed a printer that can print 10 metres of flexible solar cells a minute. Unlike traditional silicon solar cells, printed solar cells are made using organic semi-conducting polymers, which can be dissolved in a solvent and used like an ink, allowing solar cells to be printed.
Not only can the VICOSC machine print flexible A3 solar cells, the machine can print directly on to steel, opening up the possibility for solar cells to be embedded directly into building materials.
The news comes just a month before Harvard's Clean Energy Project plans to make public in June a giant database of compounds that can be used for printing solar cells. The list of 20,000 organic compounds may help scientists develop computer models for more efficient and less expensive printable solar cells.
Solar energy received another boost on the opposite side of the world as Elon Musk's rooftop solar energy company, SolarCity,received backing from Goldman Sachs. The $500 million (£330 million) deal will provide leases for SolarCity customers, 90 percent of whom lease the solar panels rather than buy them outright.
In 2010, a team at MIT unveiled a paper solar cell that could be folded into a paper aeroplane and still function.
Efficiency is still an issue for printable solar cells. The VICOSCteam say that their cells can generate up to 50 watts of power per square metre, meaning you would need two metres squared to safely power a 15-inch MacBook Pro.
Before you gets carried away with notions of printing your own solar cells at home, it should be noted that VICOSC's printer currently costs A$200,000 (£128,000).

You could visit my aunt Tillie... she'll show you her goiter.
I think we probably agree more than disagree. I like the games being in Canton, but they probably truly belong in Columbus... but, please, NOT in the Shoe.
Yeah... maybe you could visit Ernest Angely's church. In that area, there's nothing else.
Like driving in and driving home? How many people actually do anything other than attend the games... except maybe eating out? Not many.
Exactly the same arguments we've heard for 20+ years.
Please tell me we're not going down this road for yet another year.
Only if it were Massillon Mackson or Jassillon Jackson.
Back to English class for you.
Whatever... but remember where you heard it first.
And, exactly HOW do the games get televised? You can forget this happening... it just ain't gonna. Too much money in TV rights, too much expense in sending people seven different locations.
Will attendance be better or worse this season at the state finals?
The games are not going back to Columbus.
The NFL HOF will be an active financial participant in future finals weekends, precluding winning bids from anywhere else.
90 games a season? Come on... really? That would be 6 games a weekend, every weekend, for eight years.
Yes. All I am saying is attendance and player experience are NOT the right arguments.
Then you must be new here. It's all you hear from a lot of those from south of route 40.
tom_hsfootball_fan said it doesn't matter in relation to attendance totals or to the players once the game starts. If you're going to quote someone, please be fair about it.

Hall effect measurements on single crystal specimens of Yl-xPrxBa2Cu307-8 (0 _<_ 1) and YBa2Cu3Oy (6.35 <_y_< 7) revealed a "negative Hall anomaly" below Tc, in the mixed state. For both systems, the depth A of the negative Hall signal scales with T Tc, while the maximum value of A decreases monotonically with decreasing Tc and vanishes at Tc = 68 K. These results show that the sign anomaly is not consistent with models that invoke pinning to explain this effect, and suggest that the negative anomaly could have an intrinsic origin. Hall effect measurements in the normal state of both systems show that the cotangent of the Hall angle can be described by cotOH = AT 2 + B, where A increases linearly with decreasing Tc for both systems, while B increases linearly with decreasing Tc for Y1 -xPrxBa2Cu307-5 and is constant within experimental error for YBa2Cu3Oy. Measurements of the longitudinal resistivity Pxx and Hall resistivity Pxy as a function of temperature T (10 K _<270 K) and magnetic field H up to 8 T were carried out on eight Yl-xPrxBa2Cu307-5 (0 <_x < 1) and four YBa2Cu3Oy (6.35 <_y_< 7) single crystals. A five-probe contact arrangement was used. The Hall voltage Vxy was obtained from the antisymmetric part of the transverse voltage (measured while sweeping the magnetic field at constant temperature) under magnetic field H reversal. In our measurements, HIIc and the same critical current density J of 100 Ncm 2 was applied to all the samples, with H_LJ[1,2]. For the crystals with x <0.15 ory>6.73, Vxy is positive for T > Tc and displays a "negative Hall anomaly" a few degrees below Tc which shifts to higher fields at lower temperatures. A similar behavior was reported by Jia et al. [3] and Xiong and Xiao [4]. The negative Hall region occurs where Vxx increases rapidly with increasing field [1,2]. For x > 0.24 or y < 6.73, only a positive Hall signal is observed. Figure 1 contains a plot of the magnitude of the minimum Hall signal A, obtained from 0921-4534/94/$07.00

Vxy vs H curves, vs the reduced temperature T/T c, for both systems. The result for x = 0 is similar to the one reported by Luo et al. for epitaxial YBa2Cu307 films [5]. The interesting features of all these curves is that, for both systems, A is nonzero over the same reduced temperature range (0.88 < 1) and, Amax scales and decreases monotonically with Tc, as shown in the inset. The close similarity of the profiles and the monotonic evolution of Arnax with Tc for both systems suggest that the negative anomaly has an intrinsic origin and is not determined by extrinsic factors. Moreover, the suppression of Amax with decreasing Tc suggests that the negative Hall anomaly is not due to flux pinning since flux pinning increases with increasing x, for low x values. This result is in agreement with the recent findings by Budhani et al. [6], who reported a decrease in the magnitude of the sign anomaly of TI2Ba2Ca2Cu3Olo thin films with increasing defect concentration through heavy-ion-irradiation. With regard to the normal state behavior of the Hall voltage, Anderson recently proposed [7] for the cotangent of the Hall angle c o t e H -= Pxx/RHH the following temperature dependence: coteH = AT 2 + B, where A is related to the bandwidth of the carriers and B is due to magnetic impurity scattering. The simultaneous measurements of Pxx and 1/RH enabled us to calculate coteH(T) for different x and y values. For both systems, we fitted the coteH vs T 2 data taken in a field of 6 T with the above equation. Figure 2 contains a plot of the values obtained from these fits for the slope A and the intercept B vs Tc for different x and y values. The slope A increases linearly with decreasing Tc for both systems, while B increases linearly with decreasing Tc for Yl-xPrxBa2Cu307-5 and is constant within the experimental error for YBa2Cu3Oy. These results agree with a previous report for epitaxial films by Xiong et al. [4] and disagree with measurements by Jiang et al. [8] on Yl-xPrxBa2Cu307-a single crystals in which B was found to increase while A was constant within their experimental resolution.

Report "Hall effect studies of the mixed and normal states of Y1−xPrxBa2Cu3O7−δ(0 ≤ x ≤ 1) and YBa2Cu3Oy (6.35 ≤ y ≤ 7) single crystals"


On Thursday 26th March 2015 an initiative called Your Life You Choose visited Kingsbury High School to deliver a programme to Year 7 students.
The multi-agency initiative is aimed at deterring young people from a life of crime by making them aware of the consequences; it draws on the knowledge, expertise and experiences of Magistrates, the Metropolitan Police Service, Victim Support, Her Majesty's Prison Service and ex-offenders from Directions Project UK.
The 300 students met local Magistrates and were surprised to hear that they volunteer their time for free to protect our community; they met two Brent Police Officers who highlighted the seriousness of joint enterprise; they listened intently to ex-offenders who spoke in detail about life in prison, regrets and turning their lives around; they were repulsed to hear about used and reused prison wear and wall-less toilets from a Prison Manager at HMP Wormwood Scrubs; and they listened to representatives from Victim Support who offered advice and guidance about what to do if they ever find themselves in danger.
Michael Sherwood, Custodial Manager at HMP Wormwood Scrubs said "Projects like these are invaluable in informing our young people of the consequences of coming to prison, the future problems of having a criminal record and the pain caused to both victim and their family when they commit a crime. We do not do enough as a society to teach our young people how to stay away from crime – everything they see is trivialised on TV or it makes great drama. Real life hurts more.
"I have been assisting with projects like this for several years now and when you see the light switch on in a young persons eyes when they finally understand the problems associated with committing crime, going to prison, and having a life afterwards is very rewarding. Having watched the Police, the Magistrates, the Prison Service, Victim Support and ex-offenders all explain what happens, how it happens and what to expect, students reactions are classic. I for one enjoy delivering my piece of the project and I hope that it keeps at least that one person from crime.
The day culminated in an assembly where students heard from The Mayor of Brent, Councillor Kana Naheerathan, followed by a question and answer session where students asked the visitors challenging questions to which the answers were wholeheartedly honest.

"Durban council not to be trusted," rules judge and orders nine-storey building under construction on the Berea to be demolished.
The company responsible for building a multi-million-rand development in Currie Road, Berea, Durban, may soon own an expensive heap of rubble instead.
On June 29 Serengeti Rise Industries was ordered by the High Court in Durban to demolish its half-built R60-million, nine-storey investment. Judge Esther Steyn's finding left little room for an appeal and her judgment has left mud on the faces of both Serengeti and eThekwini Metro.
The council and Serengeti failed to inform the affected neighbours of plans to build a massive structure in the heart of a residential area that would block the views of dozens of homeowners, rob them of any privacy and destroy the aesthetics of the sought-after suburb.
Tour company tells all about Volkswagen's new "breakdown bus".
The wheels of the bus don't go round and round as Volkswagen dodges complaints of faulty vehicles.
Dependability is the word that Germany's auto giant Volks-wagen likes its dealers to push with potential customers. "You know that when buying one you can count on getting where you need to go, when you want to," assures VW's spiel. Unless you happen to be Baz Bus, that is. The company has had to bring in a psychologist to counsel its managing director and stressed-out fleet drivers after investing R2.5 million in five new Volkswagen Crafters.
Why mental breakdowns over five Crafter 50 2.0 BiTDi high-roof panel vans – converted into "midibuses" to carry 22 international backpackers apiece in a unique "hop-on hop-off" service along our scenic western coastline? Because they broke down, time and time and time again. And again.
And despite the exchange of 1,065 emails at the latest count, Volkswagen South Africa refuses to do anything to mollify Baz Bus's owner and managing director Barry Zeidel over its piles of junk.
600% increase in fees is 'in line with inflation' according to the bank.
Absa claims that increases in its monthly service fees for home loan agreements, after remaining "unchanged" for years, are now only increased in line with inflation. Both claims were blatant lies, a client with the mathematical skills needed to do the calculations has discovered.
Last year Absa's head of home loans, Carel Gronum, sent clients a letter in which he claimed that, historically, the monthly service and administration fees on Absa's home loan accounts had remained unchanged since the commencement of these agreements.
How R600m vanished, under the expert care of Investec.
At 11am on 13 July 2015 the Sheriff auctioned and sold 326 million ordinary shares in JCI Limited, equal to 9.72% of that company's issued share capital. The shares belonged to Black Bear Resources Ltd and had been attached by the Sheriff in execution of a costs order granted against Black Bear in September 2012, when it failed in its bid to put JCI into liquidation.
JCI remains, of course, at the centre of the wreckage left behind by the late Brett Kebble, who was shot and killed on 27 September 2005.
At the recent auction, there were no known bids from JCI itself, or from its controlling shareholders, Allan Gray (26.1%), and Investec Bank (26.7%). The latter had been principal lender to JCI from 1997, when Kebble clandestinely seized control of the mining investment company, until mid-2014.
Sanral and its cronies are determined to build a wildly expensive new route to Durban, when sensible repairs would do the trick. By Barry Sergeant.
As South Africa's democracy "matures", so the legacies of all kinds of interesting prior relationships continue to ripen. One project that cannot escape attention is the proposed N3 highway bypass that will effectively turn Harrismith into yet another South African ghost town, consigning thousands of people to unemployment, and tens of thousands of their dependants to destitution. That's apart from the extra billions that it's going to cost the South African road user.
If state roads agency Sanral and its crony road construction companies have their way, the N3 will be routed down an entirely redesigned and reconstructed De Beer's Pass, rather than the existing Van Reenen Pass at Harrismith, as the gateway across the escarpment. If this project proceeds, an estimated R5 billion (more likely R10bn by the time it's completed) will have to be found to fund the rerouting of the N3 highway between Johannesburg and Durban.
Senior officers excluded from selection committees. By Glynis Underhill.
When in March Judge Elias Matojane of the North Gauteng (Pretoria) High Court described acting Hawks boss Major-General Mthandazo Berning Ntlemeza as "biased and dishonest" and "lacking integrity and honour" for making false statements under oath in court, it was expected this would be his undoing. Yet no action was taken against the man in charge of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigations (DPCI) despite opposition calls for his axing.
But Ntlemeza remains secure in the knowledge that he enjoys high-level political backing, say senior Hawks members. He has recently fast-tracked around 60 promotions and appointments, sidelined experienced people, and suspended key senior Hawks figures. Particularly controversial has been the composition of the selection panels he has appointed to interview and select candidates for these jobs.
A combined summons has finally been issued against South Africa's national transport monopoly, Transnet, by about 60,000 impoverished pensioners who, for over a decade, have received piffling 2% annual increases on their generally miniscule pensions.
The class-action summons issued by first plaintiff Johan Pretorius of Bloemfontein and second plaintiff Johan Kruger of Pretoria – both pensioners – draws a new element into the case. This involves the discovery of a remarkable R310 million "donation" given by the trustees of one of Transnet's pension funds, the Transport Fund, to Transnet.
Not since the Battle of Trafalgar have we witnessed such marine hostilities. By Jack Lundin.
More than a few of the R500,000-plus luxury pleasure boats that ply the waters of the Vaal River and dam have passed through the Vereeniging boat yard of Honda Marine's one-time authorised dealer Tony Lindhorst. And this can be a painful experience.
Take the case of Sue Brownlie and her 18-foot custom-made Premier Pontoon. Brownlie hails from East London, where she spent 22 years building up her own Landvest estate agency. For family outings on the water she turned to Tony Lindhorst, then operating a boat business in Gonubie, and picked up the pontoon for R300,000. Standard Bank obliged with R201,420 and Brownlie paid the R100,000 balance in cash.

For years, Labat-Africa's listed stock price bumped along at about 10 cents per share (cps). A year ago, it started issuing one of many cautionary notices to investors of its intention to make an acquisition.


-Mardi Gras Frisbee Tournament: went very well – us girls and the guys B-team [Havoc] have decided to go as a mixed team from now on; Baton Rouge was pretty cool, from what we saw of it. We didn't get the chance to go to New Orleans, but oh well. There's always next year… Next [and last] tournament is this weekend in GA.
-Watchmen: the comic is blow-your-mind awesome. The movie got released a few weeks ago [I went to the midnight showing, of course] and it was okay. I personally liked it, but the main critique of it from critics/people I know is that it sticks TOO much to the comic. There is just no pleasing people, is there?
-Spring Break: Went home for 3 days, then went to High School Robert's beach house in New Smyrna and hung out with some cool people. It was literally a sleep-in-until-you-physically-could-not-anymore, then go to the beach-until-you-could-not-stand-it, with food/dream interpretations/scrabble thrown into the mix. It was great 😛 Then I came back to UCF on the Wednesday to go to a Magic vs. Bulls game with Spencer [Magic won 109-79], and to prepare for the robotics competition.
-True Blood: the vampire HBO show. I've been watching it with Spencer recently and HOLY CRAP is it addicting. The characters make you want to simultaneously kill them and make them your best friends, but either way they draw you in and make you desperately want to find out what happens next. I'm looking forward to the next season which starts this summer.
-Failing at nothings: sooo, I have not been running thrice a week. And I have missed a few days of my Photo-a-day project, making the entire thing null. I'll have to restart at some point… Until then though, I have failed at [my] nothing[s].
