Production (a.k.a. crafting) of blocks in StarMade is accomplished using specialized blocks or (in a limited fashion) the player's inventory. Things produced in this way may be later used for building structures and ships using Build Mode.
Production involves placing required resources in the factory or refinery inventory, setting a recipe, and then waiting a short time for the production cycle to complete. Production runs continuously producing one recipe output per cycle until the supplied resources are exhausted. Depending on the factory, running a production cycle may require power, with more power being required by more advanced factories or factories which have been enhanced.
There are three specialized crafting sections in the player inventory, accessed by the Craft Generics, Craft Micro and Craft Factory buttons. These can only produce Alloyed Metal Mesh and Crystal Composite for the first two, and the Basic Factory in the third one.
These are used to convert raw resources or Scrap into Alloyed Metal Mesh, Crystal Composites and Capsules.
These are used to build the remainder of the blocks in the game.
Each factory has a standard 7x5 inventory, except for the Player Inventory ones which have only two slots each. When the factory or refinery is activated with R the lower half of the player inventory is replaced with a window showing the first three rows of the factory or refinery inventory and a scroll bar to the right side used to see the other rows. Additionally the player inventory gets a scroll bar of its own.
Factories, but not refineries or the player inventory, have a Change Production button above their inventories. This opens up a dialog used to select what the factory will produce each cycle while the factory is active. Factories can only produce one kind of thing at a time. See the Factory block pages for details on supported recipes. Next to the Change Production button is a Graph button which becomes active when a recipe has been selected. This will show what the material requirements are for the item, including the precursor items all the way down to basic materials.
Refineries and the player inventory have a Production button above their inventories. This opens up a window describing what the refinery or player factory will produce. There is no selection as with factories.
Factories and refineries - but not the player inventory - may be activated or deactivated by toggling the Active/Inactive button above their inventory. Active blocks will consume power even if they do not have enough resources to produce anything.
Factory and refinery blocks may be linked to one or more Factory Enhancers in order to increase their production multiplier, thereby improving the rate as which they produce outputs. See Factory Enhancer for details on this process.
Factories and refineries can be linked together along with Storage to create automated assembly lines capable of producing complex recipes with little or no user interaction. When a factory is linked as a master to one or more other blocks with inventories, the factory will pull from the linked inventory or inventory as many resources as are necessary to run one cycle of production. If the linked inventories do not have enough resources for one production run, the cycle will be skipped and the process re-tried on the next cycle.
As both Storage and factories have the same cycle times, it's possible to also link Storage as a master to factories in the assembly line and siphon off outputs into those inventories. Careful setting of the filter values on the Storage blocks will help keep everything in sync.
Place a Storage with several Alloyed Metal Mesh and Crystal Composites in it, then link a Basic Factory as master to the storage. In the factory select Grey Hull from the production drop down. Ensure the factory is active. As long as there are enough meshes and circuits in the storage, the factory will continue to produce hull pieces until it is deactivated.
Factories may also be chained together to produce recipes that have more than one stage. Starting with the above example, place a second Basic Factory and link it as master to the first factory. Set it's production to Grey Hull Wedge, then activate it. Now by merely supplying the Storage with mesh and circuits, the second factory will produce wedges from the hulls produced by the first factory.
Note than unlike Storage, there are no filters or other methods to control how many items are pulled from linked inventories, so in the above example the player would not be able to get both Grey Hull and Grey Hull Wedge because the second factory would consume the input from the first at the same rate it was produced. This can be solved by either having separate production lines for each final output, or clever use of factory enhancers to change the proportions of outputs. In the above example, linking one Factory Enhancer as a slave to the first factory would cause it to produce 2 hull each cycle, while the second factory only consumes a single hull to produce a wedge. The end result would be that each cycle one hull and one wedge is produced.

Drake Perry, a 6' guard from Oklahoma City, has commited to Vermont Tech men's basketball. The talented lefty graduated from Putnam City High School, and has since completed his Associates Degree at Oklahoma City Community College.
When Coach Tyrrell was shown film on Drake he was immediately excited about his ability to score the basketball.
"Drake can absolutely fill it up", said Coach Tyrrell. "He averaged over 20 a game in high school and has improved since that time. With his ability to shoot the ball, attack the rim, and get others involved, he is going to be a handful for teams defensively."
"The best thing about Drake though is his ability to fight through adversity", added Tyrrell. "He is hungry for the opportunity and ready to take advantage of it".
Drake will be studying Business Management and Technology at Vermont Tech.
The relationship with Coach Tyrrell and the opportunity at Vermont Tech were major factors in Drake decision to attend the college.
"I chose Vermont Tech because Coach and I had a good relationship', said Perry. "He gave me confidence that I could help raise the program to a completely new level. In addition, this is an opportunity for me to display my abilities on the floor. I have been through a lot prior to Vermont and now I am ready to show people what I have in store".

As RE-Source 2018 kicks off in Amsterdam, bringing together 800 energy buyers and suppliers, The Climate Group's RE100 Policy and Campaign Manager Ola Mirowicz explores how RE100 members are already shifting the European renewables market and how ambitious policy change can accelerate its growth even further.
At RE-Source 2018 in Amsterdam, I'm squeezed in between over 800 businesses and energy suppliers, at the grand opening of this year's conference. Policymakers and business leaders share their stories of investment in the European renewable energy market. The room is full and the air is one of optimism.
With under a month to go before COP24 in Katowice, the timing for this event couldn't be better. As the recent IPCC special report made clear, we have little time to limit global warming to below 1.5°C, and the task of just transition to a low carbon energy future can at times seem daunting.
Today, however, I feel galvanized by the action I'm witnessing here: ambitious companies, innovative energy suppliers, and forward-thinking policymakers and organizations showcase how they are going to bring the number of businesses buying renewable power from 100 to 100,000. This is no easy job, but as our recent RE100 Annual Progress and Insights Report shows, RE100 is already making it happen.
RE100, led by The Climate Group in partnership with CDP, now brings together 155 companies committed to 100% renewable electricity in more than 140 markets across the globe. With 77 RE100 companies based in Europe, it is at the heart of our movement – and with our members' operations spread across EU Members States, it's no surprise to see so many familiar faces across the conference rooms. Yet there is still more to do.
Business action on renewable electricity is shifting global markets. Our new report reveals that RE100 members increased the amount of renewable electricity they source by 41% in one year - and that 37 member companies are already sourcing over 95% renewable power.
Europe is where our members source the highest share of renewable electricity, 62% in 2017. Due to a well- functioning Guarantees of Origin tracking system, as well as dynamically developing markets for power purchase agreements (PPAs), we are expecting this number to grow exponentially. Some individual European countries are already forging ahead, with RE100 members sourcing 93% renewables in Denmark, 82% in the UK and 81% in Switzerland.
This is a fantastic story of progress. Yet despite these achievements, policy barriers are still the barrier most commonly cited by RE100 members as limiting corporate renewables sourcing.
That's why the businesses joining me today at the RE-Source 2018 event are calling for EU policymakers to grasp the untapped potential for corporate sourcing of renewables in Europe. This can only be realized by the removal of policy and market barriers that constrain the growth of renewables in many European markets.
Such barriers are particularly prominent for PPAs. 6 GW of PPAs have already been signed in Europe, yet we know the market is still lagging behind the USA.
Last year, we called on the EU to reform the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II), so that the EU 2030 renewables target could increase to 32% and important provisions could unlock corporate investment in renewables. Now we are calling on Member States to enact it.
To fully unlock the potential for corporate PPAs in Europe, we need the EU to remove existing regulatory barriers, allowing direct corporate investment in new renewable capacity to expand beyond the Netherlands, the UK and the Nordic countries.
This work is carried forward through our involvement in the new RE-Source Declaration, co-signed by several of our RE100 members. This declaration will serve as a vehicle for enabling our 2019 policy discussions in EU Member States, starting with Poland, Germany, France, and the Netherlands, and continue the work on progress in the UK and Sweden.
Crucially, enabling greater sourcing of corporate PPAs also involves a recognition of the different needs of different companies. During my recent speaking engagements in the less saturated renewable markets of Central and Eastern Europe, namely Poland, Romania and Hungary, I learnt that while energy suppliers are ready to jump on the PPAs opportunity, our members will often have very varied consumer needs, at times driven by price, while in other places by commercial user behaviour. We are taking this into account when pushing for long-term and economically viable means to source 100% renewable electricity across different European countries.
I am always amazed by how much can be achieved in collaborations between the energy industry, companies and third sector partners. At RE-Source 2018, we are creating peer-to-peer spaces where buyers can meet sellers and in a spirit of competition further drive down prices for renewable electricity. It is such shifts that lead to the growing economic opportunity presented by renewables - a key driver for RE100 members sourcing clean power, as shown in our recent report.
This is also a collective opportunity for EU Member States, their economies, communities and environment. In 2016, The EU wind energy industry contributed (directly and indirectly) €36.1bn to the EU's Gross Domestic Product, and by 2021, the European solar power industry is expected to sustain nearly 175,000 full time jobs. With countries like Spain showing leadership by setting targets to be 100% renewable by 2050, the opportunity presented by clean power is clearly gaining traction.
Re-Source 2018 proves it is possible to deliver climate and energy policy from the bottom-up, with market players engaging policymakers to take action. RE100 members are driving forward the European shift to clean energy, making a calculated business choice to invest in renewable power and by doing so, growing the clean economy in the EU. This is a collaborative leadership story the EU should be proud of at COP24 in Poland this year - and a stepping stone for even more ambitious action.

The figure used for this unit is from the Mage Knight Dungeons Heroic Quests: The Citadel set. Its model name is Captain Salidar.
After revealing an Order Marker on Talingul, instead of taking that turn with Talingul, you may take a turn with up to two large or huge Construct Heroes you control. A figure taking a turn with Master of Great Constructs must be within 8 clear sight spaces of Talingul before moving.
As a Unique Hero that follows Utgar, Talingul may benefit from Ornak's RED FLAG OF FURY activation synergy.
As a medium Utgar figure, Talingul may be protected by Torin's Evil Eye.
The Tomb Skeletons and Tomb Skeleton Archers cannot receive their defense bonus from SKELETAL FORM against Clerics & Wizards.
The Ornak entry still refers to Kurrok.
Nice pic at the bottom, is that yours?
Thanks SF. Text fixed. The picture is mine, taken last night. I love how this guy looks among the big constructs.
Maybe once Avernus & Breach come out that I would sub in one of them. I also think healers Rhogar or Kelda or Calibrax are valid with them.

I think it's usually a mistake to take Talingul without Boreos.
Care to elaborate? I would assume it is for the ability of Boreos picking up and moving Talingul for free early repositioning? Seems like a strong utility power especially for this synergy.
You can move Talingul around and stop him from being engaged by melee.
Boreos also can be the first activation, and move Talingul to where he can see the construct you want to go second. This allows you to move Augamo or another construct to the other side of a glacier or a ruin without stranding him.
Overall, Boreos just adds flexibility and acts as a pseudo-screen.


At every opportunity I love to steer things with wheels …like the wheelbarrow, the lawnmower, trolleys (riding down the ramp after shopping) and I even had the thrill of parking a set of portable steps in front of an upstairs gate today. I don't know why it gives me such a kick to steer- except that I love being in control.
I admit that I am sometimes a terrible back-seat driver (even though I cannot see well). This got me thinking about the waste of energy it is to be uptight about something one has no control over. So, I have decided to become a peaceful passenger.
Let's see how strong my will is!?

Here is the next in the series on how disability affects a family.
This entry was posted in disability, independant living, Living with blindness and tagged independent living on 12 May 2015 by jenniferwebster.
I want to raise a "Hoorah" for the spouses of us semi sighted citizens.
Often the culturally acceptable norms get challenged by the needs of the disability of their spouse. For example, I feel special when my husband opens the door and he walks through it before me – because changes in light often leave me totally blind for nearly a minute as my eyes adjust slowly to the new lighting.
What seems like bad manners is actually a blessing. We have finally given up the 'girl dishes up food for the boy' thing and we both feel more relaxed – he can choose what and how much to eat and there is less chance of him getting cheese sauce on his apple pie and I know that I will get choice selected food ,and not just the garnishing's!!
He has ditched gender role norms with courage and gusto and has fully embraced the skills of toenail painting, hair dying, needle threading, picking up dropped knitting stitches and expertly removing excess mascara from the eyelids. He has conquered the unexpected trips to the local shop for girl products and is expertly unphased by scrounging through the women's underwear department for the appropriate sizes.
I am so grateful that I married a non self conscious man and would like to cheer on all spouses of impaired function sufferers. God knows what you do for us.
This entry was posted in disability, Living with blindness and tagged independent living on 7 May 2015 by jenniferwebster.
As the spouse of a beautiful, patient and courageous partially sighted wife, I often find myself spending time looking for the next need to be met, whether it be, to raise a few: checking that plates, knives, glasses and sharp objects are not in places that can be harmful; or watching that broken tiles, rough brick work , glass doors or uneven steps, don't become a hazard resulting in a broken leg, strained back or great humiliation. It only dawned on me, after several decades, that it would be extremely helpful to both me and my wife, if I actually found out what is most helpful to her, and not what I thought was best for her. As I found this out, it released her from a hang of a lot of guilt, and me from growing frustration that I was being taken for granted (which I was, because I really wasn't meeting her need). The problem was mine – I just needed help from her to know where she needed help. So knowing where help is needed is very helpful and, emotionally, very releasing.

In-form Nepal starts as favorite against UAE in T20I series
Published On: January 31, 2019 12:05 PM NPT By: Republica | @RepublicaNepal

KATHMANDU, Jan 31: Nepal starts favorites against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in a three-match T20 international (T20I) series, that starts in Dubai on Thursday.
Nepal secured the historic first One-Day International (ODI) series win against the same team earlier this week, winning the latter two after losing the first match. Nepal has more T20 wins compared to ODIs. With the performance against the hosts in the 50-over format, Nepal starts favorite in shorter version of the game.
T20 comes more natural for Nepali cricketers after participating in no less than three domestic franchise T20 premier events sanctioned by International Cricket Council (ICC) back home. More so, four key UAE players -- Captain Rohan Mustafa, opening batsmen Chirag Suri and Ashfaq Ahmed, and stand-in captain Mohammad Naveed -- have traded their skills in Nepali leagues over the past year.
It will be an opportunity for Nepali players to show consistency going into the T20 format and win the series to wrap an outstanding limited over tour in its second outing away from home.
Nepal had drawn two-match ODI series against the Netherlands in August last year.
Nepal last played a T20I bilateral series against the Netherlands in 2015 when it earned T20I status for two years after reaching the qualifying round of ICC World T20 in 2014. Nepal lost the series 3-1.
Seven players from that squad that toured the Netherlands are set to feature against the UAE. Skipper Paras Khadka, Gyanendra Malla, Basant Regmi, Pradeep Airee, Binod Bhandari, Sompal Kami and Karan KC played that series against the European ODI nation.
Nepal had announced the same 16-men squad for both formats of the game. Of them, Pradeep Airee, Avinash Bohora and Bhim Sarki are yet to make their debut. Youngsters Pawan Sarraf and Sandeep Jora made their respective debuts in first and last match of the ODI series.
Vice-captain Gyanendra Malla's cameos at the top of the innings in last two ODIs, where he scored 44 and 31 runs, respectively, hints at a return to form. His team Lalitpur Patriots' won the last Everest Premier League back home. However, his opening partner Binod Bhandari might get an axe and replaced by Pardeep Airee in the same wicket-keeping-opening-batsman role. Pradeep had good scores in T20 events and Bhandari has dismal returns in the ODI series, down on runs as well as strike rate.
Despite hinting at opening the batting in T20s, Skipper Khadka might continue at No. 3 after getting record century in last ODI in the same position. Dipendra Singh Airee has the most unsuccessful series since his debut as he could muster just 16 runs in three matches. However, he has been the most prolific scorer in the domestic T20s which might help him retain his place.
Similarly, Sundeep Jora, who made his debut in the last ODI scoring 19 runs which included a six, has one of the best strike rates in Nepali domestics. He is also favorites to start ahead of other contenders. Likewise, Rohit Paudel, Sompal Kami and Karan KC will fill other places in the starting XI, whereas globetrotter spin sensation Sandeep Lamichhane will lead the bowling attack.
The only place where Nepal can experiment is including young and equally exciting batsman Bhim Sarki in place of Aarif Sheikh. Aarif, who played crucial innings in the ODI series, took time to get going and finished with inferior strike rates compared to his counterparts. Sarki is regarded as technically solid batsman who changes gears as the innings progresses.
Probable XI: Malla, P Airee (WK), Khadka (C), D Airee, Jora, Paudel, Sarki/Aarif, Kami, KC, Lamichhane, Rajbanshi.
The UAE missed the experience, guile and performances of three veterans -- Mustafa, Ahmed Raza and Rameez Shahzad -- in the ODI series loss against Nepal. The shortened format will help the young UAE team to address the longer format's inconsistency and offer better challenge for highflying Nepal. Skipper Naveed remains its biggest match winner with his involvement in various T20 leagues around the world like Lamichhane. Similarly, Ashfaq and veteran Shaiman Anwar can be dangerous on their day as seen in the last ODI. Anwar together with hard-hitter Mohammad Boota recovered the UAE from a precarious position to collect more than 100 runs in last 10 overs while putting up a decent 254 runs for the UAE on board. Mohammad Usman and CP Rizwan, who both played crucial innings to rebuild the UAE innings in the last ODI, are favorites to be retained for the first T20 match.
In bowling department, Imran Haider was the pick of the bowlers for the UAE side in the 50-over format. The legspinner consistently outfoxed most of the Nepali batsmen. Similarly, Naveed has done consistently well against Nepali cricketers in different domestic leagues. Amir Hayat troubled batsmen in first two ODIs with his short pitch stuff before going off-boil in the last match. Likewise, one between Zahoor Khan and Qadeer Ahmed will fill in the final spot in the bowling lineup of the Gulf state that both had mixed ODI series.
Probable XI: Suri, Ashfaq, Shabber (WK), Rizwan, Anwar, Usman, Boota, Naveed (C), Haider, Hayat, Zahoor/Qadeer.
Nepal skipper Khadka remains grounded on Nepal's against the fellow Associate side. "We are used to this format, but international cricket is more demanding. The conditions are different, and look more suited to the home team. So, we have to start all over again."
He hinted at a few changes in the playing XI to complement the shorter format.
"We have big squad and changes in the playing XI are expected. We will have to use players appropriately."
Similarly, Nepal spin star Lamichhane has shared his ambitions to help team with his bat as well. "I am focusing in batting also. You never know, team may need it. The belief is more than before that Nepal can do extraordinary things in international cricket."
If Nepal can overcome first match jitters ahead of any series, the visiting team can make a real go for a clean sweep. However, a hard-fought 2-1 win is expected.

Showing posts from category pollution.
Guest Contributor // January 9, 2023 // By Richard Marcantonio
On July 28, 2022 the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) voted—by a count of 161 in favor, with 8 abstentions — that living in a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment is a human right. Building on the similar declaration by the UN Human Rights Council in October 2021, the UNGA has now reinforced the notion that the growing assaults on human health through environmental hazards are transgressions against the basic rights and freedoms of people.
Fighting the Flood of Nurdles: Texas Fisherwoman takes on Taiwan Plastic Company
China Environment Forum // Q&A // September 29, 2022 // By Ruoyi (Angela) Pan
Over decades, billions of small lentil-sized plastic pellets, called nurdles, flooded out of the wastewater pipes of Formosa Plastic's plant in Calhoun Texas into the Gulf of Mexico. For decades, Diane Wilson, a fourth-generation fisherwoman in a rural fishing town called Seadrift, has been tracking and collecting data on the company's nurdle pollution. In 2019, after three years of constant sampling, she and her scrappy volunteers won a dramatic legal victory with a consent decree mandating 50 million in penalties for past pollution and fines if they do not clean up previous pollution or maintain zero discharge of plastic.

Greenhouse Plastic Boom Blights Vietnam's Vegetable Basket
China Environment Forum // Guest Contributor // June 30, 2022 // By Govi Snell & Thinh Doan
Cam Ly landfill was, until it was shut down in 2020, the primary dumping ground for the city of Dalat. A hilltop locale 5 kilometers from central Dalat, the landfill was the final destination for the majority of plastic used in agriculture in Vietnam's Central Highlands region. But in August 2019, heavy rain prompted an outpouring of trash, sending plastic sheeting from greenhouses and untreated agrichemical bags and bottles rushing downhill. The incident covered lowland farms in thousands of metric tons of waste.
The Zero-Waste School Movement Is Finding Its Stride In Vietnam

During February's Lunar New Year holiday, Vietnam Zero Waste Alliance coordinator Xuan Quach and her family were returning home to Thai Binh. When they were halfway home, Xuan's brother nonchalantly tossed a plastic bottle out the window. Xuan opened her mouth to chide her brother, but was surprised when her niece scolded him, "Dad! Don't contribute to plastic pollution!" Xuan grinned, knowing that all of her hard work educating the public about the dangers of plastic waste was paying off.

The Gasses That Will Make or Break Climate Change Mitigation
Guest Contributor // March 18, 2022 // By Katelyn Rousch
New worldwide attention on methane has increased the potential for countries to implement methane policy in the energy sector. In November 2021, the countries gathered at COP 26 in Glasgow launched the Global Methane Pledge, an agreement that aims to reduce methane emissions at least 30 percent from 2020 levels by 2030. If the 111 participating countries are successful, this endeavor could curb over 8 gigatons of carbon equivalent emissions and prevent more than 0.2 degrees Celsius in warming by 2050.
Developing Data-Driven Solutions to Vietnam's Ocean Plastics Problem
China Environment Forum // October 7, 2021 // By Keri Browder
In December 2020, Vietnam's Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc signed the country's National Action Plan for Management of Marine Plastic, setting an ambitious goal for the government to reduce marine plastic litter by 75 percent by 2030. Recent surveys indicate that plastics are the most prevalent and dangerous form of waste choking Vietnam's beaches and waterways. Whether polystyrene, discarded nets, or mismanaged single-use plastics, these items are not just an eyesore, but they imperil the local ecosystem and fishing industry in Vietnam.


With energies devoted to survival, nothing seemed to change for a long, long time. As a visitor I looked in hope for renewal, for the sound of concrete being poured, the smell of new wood on building frames, but the hammers were busy on urgent housing repairs, diggers were occupied making roads negotiable again, and the trucks were all engaged removing rubble. In this once vibrant city it was hard to find a cafe in working order.
Now, even as road-works continue, it's not hard to find somewhere to sit and drink coffee. While many damaged, abandoned buildings have yet to be torn down, the place is no longer looking so shattered.. But it's odd to see cleared city blocks, some as smooth and green as playing fields, in the middle of a city.
Big, new building are under construction all over town but I suspect the outcome will not be the people's city many dreamed of; dreams and profit rarely talk to each other, but one peculiar development spawned by the upheaval is slowly turning a natural disaster into a unique asset beyond the reach of human motives.
The houses, many of them achingly appealing, emptied. Even those without apparent damage were doomed. Leaving their dreams behind them, the owners moved on. Life moved on, leaving an atmosphere of eerie uninhabited despondency.
Gradually the houses (those that were not demolished) were also moved on. Fences were cleared away along with garages, sheds and sealed drives. But still the rectangular shapes created by shrubs and trees were a reminder of what had been. The years since the disaster have seen hedges, finally released from the clippers, stretch out in all directions and untrimmed shrubs blur property lines. Trees embraced the open grassland.
And what a mix of trees. So many varieties of Camillia in bloom (before spring has arrived) suggests why this tree is so popular in Christchurch. But why were so many Yew trees planted by past generations? Reflecting the individual tastes of long-gone residents, all kinds of trees and other plants grow in this new and exciting parkland; marigolds, pansies and other great survivors like silver beat and Chinese cabbage linger.
I came across a part of a garden that appears to be tended still, a previous resident perhaps not yet ready to walk away from years of nurturing. I discovered a children's' playground that had once been part of a small reserve providing for families who lived on the street.
Now the houses are gone the reserve has been adopted by this new, unexpected, unplanned but wonderfully intriguing parkland. It is a fanciful notion but I can't help thinking it's a legacy from Gods of the underworld, who have a conscience after all.

Our goal is to provide students with a conducive learning environment dedicated to helping students take a proactive approach to their science, engineering, and workforce courses, discover their particular learning style, and develop their critical thinking skills. We believe that each of these skills are necessary in each student becoming an independent learner.
Bring your textbook, notes, and assignment sheets with you. Read your assignments and do your best to work through your homework problems before your tutoring session.
Tutors can help clarify assignments and identify skills needed to complete assignments. They can give you extra problems and examples like the ones you are having trouble with and help you learn to solve them.
Teaching provides students with new information; tutoring helps the students master that information by providing alternate explanations, techniques, and examples. Tutors cannot be a substitute for attending class.
You will benefit more from tutoring if you come when you first begin having problems. If you wait until the last minute, you may not be able to master the material in time to succeed on tests and assignments.
Please remember that tutors are often students like you who have mastered specific course content with a specific instructor. They are not expected to have the level of experience of your professor.
If you remain silent, the tutor may assume you understand. Tutors have learned many ways to explain a single concept, so continue to ask questions until the material is clear to you.
These are the only requirements for the free tutoring and all STAC services provided. Doing this helps us maintain funding to continue to provide these services at no charge.

Periodontal Disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss. Creating Dental Excellence feels it is our professional duty to continually evaluate our patients' gums to help catch periodontal disease before the gums and supporting bone are severely damaged. This disease is caused by plaque, a sticky film that is always forming on your teeth. This plaque contains bacteria that produce harmful toxins. The bone and other tissues that support teeth are damaged if left untreated.
The good news is that periodontal disease often can be treated with a deep cleaning called Scaling, root planning or non-surgical treatment. In this treatment, plaque and tartar are carefully removed from the tooth and bottom of each periodontal pocket. This procedure is done with a topical or local anesthetic to make the patient feel comfortable.

Retailer Bedroom Concepts has a strategy for mining the internet to generate inexpensive and effective sales leads.
Avideo featuring children and families greets customers with the words highlighted on this page (center) as they enter the Union, NJ location of Bedroom Concepts. It is a message that reinforces what they have already seen on cable or heard from their friends. Bedroom Concepts is a store where families can feel comfortable with the process of buying furniture.
Bedroom Concepts has three locations located in Livingston, Union and North Brunswick, NJ. Stores are 6,000 square feet. The North Brunswick location is a warehouse showroom.
Owners Charles Cohen and brother Jay started their business in 1981 selling waterbeds at indoor flea markets. They worked in South Florida until the 70s when they came home to New York. At that time, related Charles, "there wasn't an established market for waterbeds, so we were able to bring the product in front of a lot of people and get lots of exposure and were very successful. We changed our name from Waterbed Concepts to Bedroom Concepts because we saw, that we could easily sell more products to our existing customer and at the same time broaden our customer base significantly.
"Even in the early days, when we sold waterbeds at flea markets, we were committed to selling higher-end products. Once we diversified and brought in bedroom, we found that a lot of the methods used to successfully market waterbeds worked well for the entire bedroom furniture line."
Bedroom Concepts customers are in the mid to upper income levels. Women who are 25 to 50 years old with children are the primary target.
"Right now I'm advertising almost exclusively on cable TV," says Charles, "using women's and children's programming; Nickelodian, Home & Garden, Lifetime. About 80% of the budget goes to cable, with the remainder to Yellow Pages advertising. In the near future we plan to implement an aggressive direct mail campaign and radically expand our use of the internet including e-mail to bring in customers."
Charles feels that the internet has the potential to be an inexpensive and effective way for Bedroom Concepts to prospect and follow-up. "We've recently signed on with Furniturefan.com, and I think the potential is there to attract the customer. There is a strong consumer segment using the internet to shop for manufacturer brand names. This site allows them to find the manufacturer, check out specific items and find a retailer in their own area who carries the brand name they are looking for. The site gives consumers specific information on the product and on the retailer. FurnitureFan. com faxes or e-mails contact information on these consumers directly to us for follow-up.
"This process which provides the customer with access to information on our products and store benefits us as well, by presenting us with a more educated customer. Most of our target customers don't have a lot of time to shop and the average male household member doesn't want to go out to shop for furniture at all. They would love to just click and buy the product. The problem is that most people need to touch and feel furniture yet they don't want to spend a lot of time visiting stores. Especially those stores that don't have the right product, the right price, or a sales and service orientation they won't feel comfortable with. The fact is, they can't find this type of information easily in their Sunday paper.
"Bedroom Concepts doesn't carry a lot of brand names right now, but we expect that many of our suppliers will be listed on the FurnitureFan site and that this will translate into qualified sales leads at very low cost. We receive a lead sheet for every customer in our trading area who inquires about a product line we carry. Then either the customer will visit the store and be handled through our regular UP system or we will call the customer and arrange a visit."
Charles is currently developing his own website, bedroomconcepts.com. When this site is fully functional, it will be cross linked with the FurnitureFan.com site to give potential customers a broad range of information on store products and services. He also plans to advertise using internet yellow page listings to increase store traffic through web contact.
FurnitureFan is designed to be a web community that acts as a facilitator for the furniture purchase. Customers can log on and look for different brand names. They can take advantage of educational information. When they find a product they like, they can use a dealer locator feature to find a dealer within a travel radius they specify.
Bedroom Concepts sells furniture to families... and families in the New York New Jersey metro area are very busy. Week nights are booked. Weekends are scheduled. Kids have soccer practice, music lessons and tutors. Time is often a more precious commodity than money. "Women do most of the initial shopping; be it online or on foot," said Charles. "The internet has the potential to cut out much of the leg work. Husbands and wives can make furniture selections on the internet at any hour of the day or night. The challenge so far has been locating the right product on an easy to find site that provides a high level of usefulness," he added.
"There has to be a concern about margins. The internet can also allow customers to find 2 or 3 stores in a 30 mile radius. Along with the potential for finding new customers there is also the potential for losing customers to a store that sells on lower margins and provides less service.
"That's a challenge we must meet by giving our customers additional reasons to buy from Bedroom Concepts. Once they are in our store, our product selection and display are very convincing. We've found that our customers appreciate assistance. Every one of our salespeople is able to lay out a room to scale. Nothing fancy, just rooms and furniture layouts drawn to scale on graph paper. That builds a lot of confidence in our salespeople and in our store. If customers call first, we ask them to bring in room measurements. Sometimes we send them home to get measurements and occasionally we make house calls. Our customers don't want to make a purchase mistake and we don't want them to either. What kind of a salesperson tells a customer they are buying too much? Ours do. Salespeople speak about function."
Brothers Jay and Charles are very hands-on in their approach to sales. They tend to rely on personal coaching rather than formal sales meetings. Salesperson turnover is not a problem at Bedroom Concepts. Charles suggested that this is due to the fact that they take great care when hiring. They look for salespeople who are likely to care about their customers and provide a high level of customer service. This, he implied, is more important then industry experience or specialized knowledge of furniture. "Of course," he related, "in this tight job market, finding additional salespeople who are willing to work nights and weekends is a challenge. Newspaper help wanted classified ads and even the recent "tickler" we added to our television commercials were not very productive.
"Furniture retailers are all fighting the perception that many consumers, and prospective employees have of retail furniture salespeople who are positioned just between used car salespeople and lawyers in terms of credibility.
"If you ask the average person if they would be willing to work nights and weekends to make an extra $5,000 per year they would say no and if you offered $10,000 more, most would have to think about it. Most of the good people are working."
Bedroom Concepts is currently in the middle of a major renovation and is in the process of putting in a Lane Gallery, which Charles feels is a highly promotable name in the industry.
"Our ads are strictly product, promoting style and the fact that Bedroom Concepts can meet the needs of families."
They do a lot of special order business and customers have a choice of color. Bedroom Concepts is not "a what you see is what you get store." Signage is important. They make it easy for the customer to see all the available finishes, features and benefits of each group. Finishing touches such as hand painted knobs for children's furniture make their rooms a little more fun and exciting. All groups are shown in vignettes with pricing, dimensions and features prominently displayed along with their lowest price guarantee.
Competition is fierce in this area of northern New Jersey. All the major stores are represented including Seamans, Huffman Koos and Ethan Allen.
That is why, says Charles, "We give our customers definite reason why they should shop at Bedroom Concepts. First among these is the level of personalized service. Our sales team goes out of their way to make sure that every customer makes the right purchase decision. We advise our customers on proper fit and function so that when their furniture is delivered they will be happy with it and not suffer from buyers remorse.
"From the time a customer walks in the door, their comfort level is pretty high. This is a function of the atmosphere in the store; of our product presentation. We get a lot of drive-by traffic due to our locations on major shopping arteries and our window displays are very attractive and bring lots of people in. We consider it an important part of our advertising.
"We SELL the furniture in the store. We really take the time to show our customers the furniture. We talk about the style, the function and the quality. The price is something that we don't really have to promote. If people like what they see, and can afford it, they are going to buy it."
Bedroom Concepts' salespeople don't have a script or list of questions they ask customers. They do talk about the benefit of buying quality furniture that will last. They emphasize that their furniture will be appropriate for a child that is 4 or 5 years old and will take them right through their teenage years. "We don't sell baby furniture," said Charles, "only youth/ teen. That fits in with what the younger children generally want also. They want to have furniture like their older brother or sister.
"Safety is important here. I have mixed emotions about some of these loft beds with the slides coming down. Bunkbeds are not a place for horseplay and when I see a bed with a tent on the top and a slide coming down, I see that as encouraging horseplay. There are certainly liability concerns for a retailer, and the new standards are an improvement. Many parents want to purchase a bunk bed for their 3 or 4 year old. We tell them flat out no! We advise parents, and the law requires, that children under 6 not be placed on the top bunk. We also make sure that bunk beds are fully set up with guard rail installed to specification before we leave.
"Delivery is also important to us. We have two owner operators who work exclusively for us. We've just contracted to have new billboard ads placed on the trucks.
"Every piece of furniture is deluxed before it leaves the warehouse. We definitely don't want any surprises when we get to our customer's homes. If we do a good job, our first time customers will become repeat customers. They will tell their friends.

MIAMI—Homestead-Miami Speedway, International Speedway Corporation and Indy Racing League officials today announced that Homestead-Miami Speedway will host the 2009 IndyCar Series Championship, tentatively set for Oct. 11, 2009, on South Florida's 1.5-mile oval.
Indeed, a fantastic 2007 Championship finale—Dario Franchitti took the checkered flag and series as Scott Dixon ran short of fuel less than one-half mile from the finish line on the season's final lap—has combined with February's open-wheel IndyCar/Champ Car unification to increase series viewership nearly 20 percent (a 60 percent ratings increase on ESPN alone) in comparison to midsummer 2007.
Key to the allure of the IndyCar Series is a diverse lineup of international drivers that includes: racing pioneer Danica Patrick, one of one of the most recognizable female athletes in the world; Miami resident Helio Castroneves, two-time Indy 500 winner and champion of ABC's television hit "Dancing with the Stars"; co-Miami resident Tony Kanaan, the first driver in major auto racing history to complete every lap of every race of an entire season (en route to the 2004 IndyCar title); a youthful corps of drivers highlighted by the most famed and accomplished names in motorsports history, including Marco Andretti, Graham Rahal and A.J. Foyt IV; and current points-leader Dixon.
At-track IndyCar Series merchandise sales were up 70 percent from midsummer '07, and the IndyCar Series has introduced a bevy of new sponsors since unification, including DIRECTV, Coca-Cola and IZOD. It also represents the first racing series to power its engines on 100 percent fuel-grade ethanol, a renewable and environmentally friendly fuel.

Libya Prime Minister Confirms Muammar Qaddafi Dead
October 20, 2011 by Daniel
Breaking News: (WARNING: Contains graphic content!)
via FOXNews:
Libyan strongman Muammar Qaddafi is dead, Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril has confirmed.
"We have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Muammar Qaddafi has been killed," Jibril told a news conference in the capital Tripoli.
Qaddafi died of wounds suffered during his capture near his hometown of Sirte on Thursday, Reuters and Sky News reported. Libyan leaders have informed the United States that Qaddafi is dead, according to an unidentified U.S. official who said Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC) is expected to officially announce his death soon. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the U.S. could independently confirm Qaddafi's death.
"Qaddafi is dead. He is absolutely dead … he was shot in both legs and in the head. The body will be arriving in Misrata soon," media spokesman Abdullah Berrassali told Sky News.
A man who claimed to have witnessed the attack told the Associated Press Television News that he struck Qaddafi with his shoes after he was shot.

Iran's Response to the Package Presented on June 6, 2006
Islamic Republic of Iran's Response to the Package Presented on June 6, 2006.
Full text of Iran's response to the E3's June 2006 proposal is available as a pdf file.
In its response Iran appears to be willing to adhere to the Additional Protocol and at least discuss suspension of uranium enrichment, provided certain conditions are met, but rejects UN Security Council Resolution 1696, which demanded that Iran suspend all enrichment-related and reprocessing activities, and that this be verified by the IAEA with a deadline of August 31, 2006 to comply.
Whilst much of Iran's response is unclear and may serve mainly to delay any further action against the country, it may also provide an opportunity for a resumption of diplomatic efforts to resolve the dispute.

Riesling renano, a vine of good vigor and rather constant production, originating from the valleys of the Rhine, and of the Moselle, first spread in Alsace, in Austria and then in Italy, which in our case is produced by a guyot-trained vine in the Val del Sarca, on a medium-sized calcareous soil with a planting density of 7,500 plants / ha, with a yield of 800 g / vine, a prodromal of great quality.
The harvest is manual and the grapes, after a natural fresh night, are gently pressed the next day. The must, separated from the skins and naturally decanted, is fermented for about 10 days. Drained and matured on the steel lees for a year. The wine, defined poetically by Giuliano "Limpido come il Martino", the son, is of a beautiful straw yellow with crystalline reflections, dry, fresh in the mouth, of good minerality to be tasted in large glasses to carefully browse the semi-aromatic scents, fruited together with the floral ones of the mountain meadows.
The company is a small Trentino company linked to love for the land. The vines are cradled by biodynamic cultivation that follows the natural rhythms of plant life and the slow passing of the seasons. A philosophy still little known and still largely to be rationalized.
The production of the small Trentino company is clear and simple: 3,000 bottles of only two wines: the white Limen and the red Limen.

US Republicans set Monday vote on Kavanaugh if no deal for hearing
, Breaking News, Kavanaugh, Politics, Us September 22, 2018, 9:11 amSeptember 22, 2018 Daily World
By Doina Chiacu and Richard Cowan WASHINGTON, Sep 22 : US Senate Republicans threatened to go ahead with a Senate panel vote on President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Monday unless a deal could be reached on Friday on how and when a woman accusing him of sexual assault will testify.
The Senate Judiciary Committee had delayed a vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation after California professor Christine Blasey Ford's allegations emerged last week, and her lawyers and committee staff were negotiating the conditions of her testimony.
But the committee's chairman, Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, said the panel would hold a vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation on Monday unless a deal was reached with Ford's lawyers by 10 p.m. EDT on Friday (0200 GMT Saturday).
"I'm extending the deadline for response yet again to 10 o'clock this evening. I'm providing a notice of a vote to occur Monday in the event that Dr. Ford's attorneys don't respond or Dr. Ford decides not to testify," Grassley said in a statement.
In an email to judiciary committee staff, Ford's lawyer Debra Katz called the deadline arbitrary.
"The imposition of aggressive and artificial deadlines regarding the date and conditions of any hearing has created tremendous and unwarranted anxiety and stress on Dr. Ford," Katz wrote.
"Your cavalier treatment of a sexual assault survivor who has been doing her best to cooperate with the Committee is completely inappropriate." Earlier on Friday, Trump sought to cast doubt on Ford's allegation that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in 1982 when both were high school students in Maryland.
Kavanaugh has denied the allegation and pledged to testify at Monday's hearing.
The Republican-controlled Senate judiciary panel has struggled on how to proceed with Kavanaugh's nomination. Democrats have demanded more time for scrutiny, and Republicans want to move ahead quickly with a confirmation vote in an increasingly volatile political climate ahead of the Nov. 6 congressional elections.
Approval of Kavanaugh would cement conservative control of the Supreme Court and advance a White House effort to tilt the American judiciary farther right.
Trump and the White House had been careful not to malign Ford after her allegations surfaced, but Trump dropped the restraint in his tweets on Friday.
"I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents," Trump said. "I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place! "Judge Brett Kavanaugh is a fine man, with an impeccable reputation, who is under assault by radical left wing politicians who don't want to know the answers, they just want to destroy and delay," Trump wrote.
Senator Susan Collins, a moderate Republican and potentially a key vote on Kavanaugh's nomination, said at an event in Portland, Maine, that she was "appalled" by Trump's tweet.
"We know allegations of sexual assault are one of the most unreported crimes that exist," Collins said, according to the Portland Press Herald. "So I thought that the president's tweet was completely inappropriate and wrong." If the hearing proceeds, Republicans will be forced to walk a careful line in questioning Ford's account without alienating women voters ahead of the elections. Before the 2016 presidential election, more than a dozen women accused Trump of making unwanted advances.
"VILE ATTACK"
Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand denounced Trump's comments on Friday as a "vile attack." "The most powerful man in the world just used his position and platform to attack a sexual assault survivor," she said on Twitter. "This is the same man who has been credibly accused of more than a dozen cases of sexual assault or harassment." The Senate Judiciary Committee released a letter it sent to Ford's attorneys earlier on Friday in which it accepted some of their demands, including that Kavanaugh not be in the room when she testifies.
The panel rejected some of the other demands, including that Kavanaugh testify first, that the committee call additional witnesses that Ford requests, and that only senators be allowed to ask questions.
"We reserve the option to have female staff attorneys, who are sensitive to the particulars of Dr. Ford's allegations and are experienced investigators, question both witnesses," the letter said.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, speaking at a gathering of evangelical voters in Washington, assured them Kavanaugh would be confirmed.
"You watched the fight, you watched the tactics, but here is what I want to tell you – in the very near future, Judge Kavanaugh will be on the United States Supreme Court," McConnell told the Value Voters Summit, drawing a standing ovation." McConnell's goal has been to confirm Kavanaugh by Oct. 1, the start of the Supreme Court term.
Trump's Friday tweets contrasted with comments earlier in the week when he said Ford should be heard, even if it meant a delay in the confirmation process.
A person familiar with the call between Ford's lawyers and judiciary panel staff on Thursday said Ford could testify by next Thursday.
Ford's legal team has said she strongly prefers that her allegations are fully investigated before she testifies.
The Senate panel must approve Kavanaugh's confirmation before a vote by the full Senate, where Republicans hold a 51-49 majority. Kavanaugh's confirmation to the lifetime position would be the second of the Trump administration and solidify conservative control of the nation's top court.
Ford's team has sought guarantees of her safety because of death threats. Kavanaugh and his wife also had received threats, a senior White House official said.

Simons poised to give estate to IU
May 12, 2008 | Cory Schouten
Keywords Foundations / Indiana University / Mel Simon / Real Estate & Retail / Residential Real Estate
Last year, 44 donors gave big gifts worth nearly $406.6 million
CIB approves $62 million in contracts for Fieldhouse overhaul
Developer, town of Speedway locked in fight over stalled Wilshaw hotel project
Indianapolis-area homebuilders end 2019 with second-half surge
Billionaire philanthropists Mel and Bren Simon are laying the groundwork to donate Asherwood–their extravagant Carmel estate
and golf course–to the Indiana University Foundation, potentially to house a new think tank.
The couple plans to downsize into a home just outside the town square in the nearby Village of WestClay. The two paid about
$2.5 million for a three-story, Beaux Arts-style home featured in this year's Indianapolis Monthly Dream Home tour. They
also own homes outside of Indiana, including in California and Florida.
The home at Asherwood, along Ditch Road near West 106th Street, is something of a white elephant, weighing in at more than
43,000 square feet. That's twice as large as the Carmel palace built nearby by former Conseco executive Stephen Hilbert–a
property listed for $20 million in 2005 that still hasn't sold.
Observers believe the Simon estate is worth at least $50 million, although the home itself appraises for tax purposes at
$10.6 million. Part of the value is the potential for residential development on the more than 100-acre property; the estate
is surrounded by luxury single-family-home communities such as Deerfield, Windemere and Coppergate.
If the Simons give Asherwood to the IU Foundation, a cash gift likely would accompany the real estate since upkeep alone
is in the range of $1 million per year, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told IBJ.
One idea for the property is to create a Simon-Clinton Institute in partnership with IU and its Department of Political Science,
the source said. The institute would promote liberal ideas.
The Simons, Bren in particular, have championed and funded Democratic causes and candidates for years. The couple counts
Bill and Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, and Birch and Evan Bayh as friends. Over the years, they have held dozens of social events
at Asherwood–ranging from the Black and White Ball, an Indianapolis 500 staple, to political fund-raisers and charity events.
The Simons bought the Asherwood property in 1973. In 1994, they won approval to build a 10-green golf course with what Esquire
magazine described as "crisscrossing fairways so that a total of 27 different holes can be played."
The couple expanded the original home after it burned in 1999, embarking on a behemoth estate that features a 2,700-square-foot
spa, a 1,300-square-foot library, and a 30-foot-by-50-foot outdoor pool, according to a 1999 story in The Indianapolis
Star.
A spokeswoman for the Simons would not discuss Asherwood or the couple's new home in WestClay, saying only that the Simons
are working on routine estate planning. A spokeswoman for the IU Foundation also declined to discuss the matter.
The Simon family has given to IU for years, including a $50 million gift in 2006 that led the university to rename the IU
Cancer Center the Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center. Family members also have given to the Bess Meshulam Simon Music Library
and Recital Center; the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center; and Simon Hall, a new multidisciplinary science building on the Bloomington
campus.
Mel Simon, 81, ranked 446th on this year's Forbes magazine list of billionaires, with net worth of $2.6 billion.
He founded locally based Simon Property Group Inc. with his brother Herb, 73, who ranks 897th on the Forbes list,
with net worth of $1.3 billion. The pair also owns the Indiana Pacers.
Mel's and Bren's home in the Village of WestClay was built by locally based Paul E. Estridge Homes. It is one of
a handful of "city homes" offered in the project by locally based Brenwick Development.
One of the development's unique draws is the wide range of residents living there, a departure from projects that feature
a narrow price range, said Jeff Kontor, Brenwick's vice president of sales.
"We have $90,000 condos and $3 million homes and anything in between," he said.
Kontor said company officials do not discuss specific residents who live in the project, but he did say buyers of homes in
WestClay include Indianapolis Colts players and Indy Racing League drivers.
The Simons bought a four-bed, four-bath home on Rhettsbury Street just around the corner from Chappie's, a cafe and coffee
The owner of Chappie's, Chad Blackwelder, has been hearing a lot of talk about WestClay's new residents. He hopes
to sell them on a new selection of wines and his specialty, a southwest chicken wrap.
"It's a real social and neighborly community," Blackwelder said. "You can get to everything you need in
a stone's throw."

the shooting of the game adapted from Squid Game begins in difficult conditions
The trailer for "Squid Game, the challenge" Netflix screenshot
Six months after Netflix announced the cast of the reality game "Squid Game, the challenge", filming began this week in England in fairly harsh weather conditions.
As in Squid Game, they are 456, not one more nor one less. These 456 English-speaking participants over the age of 21 were selected by netflix to participate in "Squid Game, the challenge" with, as a key, the promise of a jackpot of 4.35 million euros to be won. "Please note that, winners or losers, all players will emerge unscathed"had taken the trouble to specify the production when launching "the greatest cast in the history of reality TV" worldwide. Filming began last Monday in the impressive hangars of Cardington Studios, a former Royal Air Force military base turned into a filming location. Scenes from Star Wars, Batman, Inception or Justice League were filmed there.
" One two Three Sun "
It is on this site, 100 kilometers north of London, that 456 people from all over the world, from England to the United States and Australia, began filming. According to the testimonies of participants collected by The Sun , the first test inspired by the game "One, two, three, sun" turned out to be a real nightmare. In question, the cold which reigned at the beginning of the week in the region of Bedford and the absence of thermal insulation of the studio. "It was like a war zone, people left in tears", said participants to our colleagues. Determined to win millions of euros, candidates would have remained motionless for long minutes while the mercury showed temperatures below zero degrees. In hypothermia, some would have left the enclosure supported by doctors or on a stretcher, unable to move.
"Everyone was shaking"
The production provided each contestant with a similar outfit, like in the seriesconsisting of a green tracksuit, socks, sports shoes and a Thermolactyl undershirt. "But everyone was shaking there, there was definitely no heating", testified a candidate eliminated at the end of the first test. For their part, the producers responded to The Sun that all precautions had been taken for the filming to take place " safely ". "The candidates were informed several weeks ago that they would be playing in cold conditionsthey said. Netflix, Studio Lambert and The Garden take care of the participants, it is one of their main priorities. »

Skin probiotic could replace antibiotic treatments for acne
Scientists working on a topical probiotic solution for acne have said bacteria – commonly found in the gut – could provide an effective treatment. A team from the University of Antwerp (Antwerp), Belgium, have found a way to alter the microbial ecosystem on the skin (skin microbiome) and reduce acne inflammation using a group of bacteria, lactobacilli. According to their research, certain strains of lactobacilli can change conditions of the skin microbiome such that it reduces inflammatory skin lesions.
The team, led by Antwerp's Professor Sarah Leber, an expert in genetics and biotechnology applications using lactobacilli, had selected three strains of lactobacillus bacteria based on their robustness, safety and predicted immune system interactions: Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG, L. plantarum WCFS1, and Lactiplantibacillus pentosus KCA1. The scientists followed by encapsulating the bacteria into microcapsules, in turn adding these to a specially developed skin cream.
In an experiment, 10 volunteers with mild to moderate acne were instructed to apply the cream to their faces twice a day for eight weeks. Test subjects exhibited a significant reduction in inflammatory skin lesions as well as a decrease in populations of acne-causing bacteria on their skin microbiome, as compared to a control group that used a placebo.
"Lactobacilli are well-documented safe and beneficial bacteria that produce lactic acid as a broad-acting antimicrobial molecule that can inhibit the growth and activity of a wide array of competing bacteria. They can also often reduce inflammation in different conditions," explained Prof. Leber.
"We suspected they could work for this purpose even though they're not highly abundant on the skin."
In addition, test subjects reported reduced acne symptoms several weeks after discontinued application of the cream, leading the Antwerp scientists to believe the trio of bacteria may somehow act by modulating the immune system. Prof. Leber concluded that more research is needed on the mode of action of lactobacilli for the treatment of acne.

Give Me Liberty – Interview
The russian-american director Kirill Mikhanovsky tells his genesis
of his second film presented to the Sundance and to
the Director's Fortnight of Cannes.
By Julien Lada
Into the pile of cannoise film screenings, we missed the excellent Give Me Liberty, the second production by Kirill Mikhanovsky. Awarded to the Director's Fortnight in 2006 with Sonhos de Peixe, this globe-trotter immersed himself in the experiences of his youth to tell the story of Vic, a young man of Russian origin, driver of a vehicle specialized in the transport of disabled people. Between American burlesque comedy and Russian social drama (or the other way around), the film takes us to the streets of poor neighborhoods in Milwaukee… During a day that became uncontrollable, between the burial of a babushka, a singing contest and anti-racist demonstrations. Give Me Liberty is in the image of its director: unbridled, hectic, excessive, and above all exciting. He has no shortage of stories about the tumultuous adventure of his film.
Kirill Mikhanovsky : « My life is a Zemeckis film »
American independent cinema often shows New York, California or the South, but why Milwaukee?
This is the city I lived in when I arrived in the United States, and I had gone back there to rejuvenate, to find my bearings. Then I quickly realized that I saw Milwaukee as a real character… And that's why I proposed to my partner Alice Austen to make a film about my memories of when I was driving a vehicle for the disabled. It was born of our common will, she co-authored and produced the film in her own name. We met in Milwaukee six years ago, when one of my projects went wrong. At that time I was deep in the hole, both psychologically and financially. She was already working on a first version of the script and was looking for someone to work with. It all started there.
A sort of four-handed autofiction?
This film was born of purely personal experiences, but it is not an autobiography. This young driver is not my alter-ego, and if he was, then you could say that all the characters in the movie are my alter ego.
How do you manage to finance a film like this, bilingual, almost exclusively non-professional casting, with many disabled actors who are…
We found no public funding in the United States. It took us two and a half years to pitch the film. That's when we found a studio that accepted A24, which directed us to a New York investor. He read our script and said it was the best he'd seen since Moonlight. Just two months later, A24 won the Oscars with the same Moonlight and became the most popular studio in American cinema. In June we had no news of the budget and the schedule, and in October A24 we gave up. For four years, it had been like the myth of Sisyphus pushing his rock up the mountain. But we started shooting four months later, with only a very small part of the planned budget.
Has this succession of contingencies led you to change some of your initial plans?
We didn't sacrifice any of the characters or any of the places in the plot. The only problem was time, no one was ready for such a drastic shortening. We shot the film in 23 days, with all the constraints that that entails. Just to get everyone on the bus up or down, sometimes it took an hour. One had to think about their comfort, including in the scenes where the bus runs at 110 km/h. Chris Galust (the main actor) is neither an actor nor a professional driver. I planned to spend two months with him in Milwaukee at the start, to make him live with the actor who plays his grandfather, to find him a little job to learn how to drive this kind of vehicle… And in the end, we only had ten days to prepare, and out of those ten days he spent eight driving.And you know why he did so well?Because he had no choice, like all of us.
You make it sound like this Give Me Liberty is a two-way street: it's as much a reflection on the American Dream as it is a message you send about the difficulties you had making the film.
We had a lot of trouble finding that title with Alice, despite our many philosophical conversations. And one day, in a coffee shop, we met a young Tunisian mechanic wearing a glaring yellow T-shirt, on which there was a blindfolded Statue of Liberty with the inscription "Give Me Liberty" ("Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" is a famous maxim of Patrick Henry, major actor in the American War of Independence, delivered in 1775k, Ndlr). We went to talk to him and he became a friend. He gave us a surprise: he washed and packed the T-shirt to give us! We even planned to make it appear in a first version of the film.
Finally, your film had an adventure as incredible as its hero.
I have spent years discovering to love the films of Vigo, Godard, Fellini, Tarkovski, Eustache, Ozu, but my life is like a film of Robert Zemeckis (Back to the future, Forest Gump).When we started this film, everyone told us it was impossible to produce. When we were abandoned on the side of the road, a producer told us that we were in a "deep shit". When we started showing the movie, we were told it was a no name mess. A director friend, who is much more successful than me, said to me, "Your film is very good, but it will never go to Sundance," not to mention Cannes… At every step, we were looked down on, and like an American tale, we just wanted the freedom to continue…

The Battle of Artah was fought in 1105 between Crusader forces and the Seljuk Turks at the town of Artah near Antioch. The Turks were led by Fakhr al-Mulk Ridwan of Aleppo, while the Crusaders were led by Tancred, Prince of Galilee, regent of the Principality of Antioch. The Crusaders were victorious and proceeded to threaten Aleppo itself.

Background
After the great Crusader defeat at the Battle of Harran in 1104, all of Antioch's strongholds east of the Orontes River were abandoned. In order to raise additional Crusader reinforcements, Bohemond of Taranto embarked for Europe, leaving Tancred as regent in Antioch. The new regent began to patiently recover the lost castles and walled towns.

In mid-spring 1105, the inhabitants of Artah, which is located  east-northeast of Antioch, may have expelled Antioch's garrison from the fortress and allied with Ridwan or surrendered to the latter upon his approach to the fortress. Artah was the last Crusader-held fortress east of the city of Antioch and its loss could result in a direct threat to the city by Muslim forces. It is unclear if Ridwan thereafter garrisoned Artah.

Battle
With a force of 1,000 cavalry and 9,000 infantry, Tancred laid siege to the castle of Artah. Ridwan of Aleppo tried to interfere with the operation, gathering a host of 7,000 infantry and an unknown number of cavalry. 3,000 of the Muslim infantrymen were volunteers. Tancred gave battle and defeated the army of Aleppo. The Latin prince is supposed to have won by his "skillful use of ground." The Franks may have gained a tactical advantage by using the "device of a feigned retreat." The Muslim infantry entered the Crusader camp after the initial Crusader retreat and were then surprised and killed by the Crusaders, with only a small number escaping.

Aftermath
Tancred proceeded to consolidate the Principality's control of its eastern frontier regions, precipitating the flight of local Muslims from the areas of the al-Jazr and Lailun, although several were slain by Tancred's forces. After his victory, Tancred expanded his conquests east of the Orontes with only minor opposition. The next actions of consequence in northern Syria were the Battle of Shaizar in 1111 and the Battle of Sarmin in 1115.

Implementing the art of green screen (or blue screen) into your video productions can be extremely useful. Background composites aren't just for sci-fi scenes or exotic locations – they are useful in common interviews and company profiles. In this video, theC47 founder Jem Schofield discusses the basics of green screen production. This detailed tutorial covers everything from lighting chroma key backdrops to pulling the key.
Westcott chroma key backdrops are available in sizes ranging from 5′ x 7′ to 9′ x 20′ in blue and green. Green backdrops are the preferred choice for many cinematographers as cameras typically capture more green than blue. Blue backdrops are most useful when shooting a subject that is wearing green.

Three people have died from West Nile fever after an outbreak in Athens which has infected 60 people this year, Greek authorities said Friday, indicating they were monitoring the situation carefully.
"Since last week, we have registered 17 new cases," of the mosquito-borne disease, the Greek centre for disease control and prevention (Keelpno) said.
Sixty cases have been recorded since the start of the year, with 16 people still in hospital, including four in intensive care, Keelpno added.
The bulk of infections have occurred within the last month.
"That is why we are warning the public," an official said.
The cases, mostly in the western suburbs of Athens, mark a reappearance of the virus after an outbreak last year when Greek authorities registered 48 cases, resulting in five deaths.
The virus can cause symptoms similar to those of the flu, but in extreme cases, it can result in tremors, fever, comas and a lethal swelling of the brain tissue known as encephalitis. It can also cause meningitis.
First discovered in Uganda in 1937, the virus is carried by birds and spread to humans by mosquitoes. It is indigenous to Africa, Asia, Europe and Australia.
"It is necessary that health professionals and national and local authorities are vigilant, because there is no way of predicting which regions the virus could spread to," said Keelpno.
