Elissa Gershowitz, May 15, 2019
What could be better than icy-cold raspados on a hot summer day?

Editorial: The Right to Read by Yourself

It's Calling Caldecott season, so make sure you head on over to the sometimes feisty debates. Martha and Lolly and Jules and their crew of contributors are doing a wonderful job of turning the contenders upside-down and inside-out to get at just what we mean when we say "the most...
We are just done with this year's Boston Globe–Horn Book Awards and Horn Book at Simmons Colloquium: "Resistance."

Martha V. Parravano, Aug 31, 2017
Robin Smith (1959–2017) was, famously, a talker. When I first met Robin some twenty years ago, we were sitting in a Children's Literature New England lecture hall waiting for the day to begin. It was immediately apparent that she was something out of the ordinary: not only was she talking...

Don't miss the annual special issue of The Horn Book Magazine, this year on the theme of humor. Wow, that sounds deadly. But it isn't, trust me! Along with mostly-serious articles about how and why to be funny in books for young people, we've also solicited some of our author...

When I arrived at the Horn Book in the spring of 1996, it was in the midst of a dustup caused by that January's editorial, "A Wider Vision for the Newbery," written by then–senior editors Lauren Adams and Martha V.

I can't think of a genre that scares more book reviewers than poetry (maybe sports books). Perhaps they are afraid that some eagle-eyed reader is going to find out the reviewer doesn't know the difference between a spondee and a dactyl, but, really, this is making the task more difficult...

Gatherings of 100 people are allowed starting on Wednesday (photo: Flickr/Lars Plougmann)
July 8th, 2020 8:51 am| by Ayee Macaraig
As many as 100 people may now gather in Denmark as the assembly ban imposed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus is raised starting on Wednesday.
The limit was 50 people since June 8, raised from the earlier restriction of gatherings of 10 persons introduced in mid-March when the pandemic hit Denmark. On August 8, the ban will be further eased to allow gatherings of 200 people.
The easing of the assembly ban is the result of a political agreement that parties reached last month as part of Denmark's gradual reopening.
Political demonstrations such as the recent Black Lives Matter protests are exempt from the ban. At least 12 people who joined the June 7 protest in Copenhagen tested positive for the virus.
Keep precautions
Even if larger crowds are now allowed to gather, medical experts and the police encouraged people in Denmark to observe precautions to avoid a spike in coronavirus cases. The physical distancing requirement of one metre remains.
"The virus is still spreading, and the vast majority of the population is susceptible to viruses. The more people gather, the more important it is to keep a good distance and good hand hygiene," Lars Østergaard, professor of clinical medicine at Aarhus University, told Ritzau.
The national police also said that people have generally been complying with the rules. Yet since mid-June, it handed out 836 fines for violations of the assembly ban.
Hotels and restaurants still struggling
The eased assembly ban does little to help hotels and restaurants recover from the Coronavirus Crisis during the summer, according to trade association Horesta.
The association said that many establishments do not have conference rooms big enough to allow 100 people to gather at a distance of one metre apart, reported TV2.
Hotel managers expressed hope that the government will also ease the distancing requirement soon for them to save their businesses.

My brother-in-law made this delicious drink for me around Christmas time, and it was so good! Blending the pomegranate seeds might seem odd but it really brings out the flavour.
Blend together the peach, seeds from the pomegranate, a handful of ice, juice of 1 lemon and sweetener if using.
Mix a cup of this fruity mixture with soda water in a tall glass (it should give you enough for approx 4 drinks).
Add some more ice and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.

Our reading from the Acts of the Apostles this year ends with the conversion of St. Paul. Then he was Saul, with one driving compulsion—to persecute those who follow Jesus. Jesus shakes his very being. Enter the scene. Experience the profound shift in Paul to a fire that burns for love and joy, no longer for death.
Are you also ready to be shocked and astonished by the call of God on your life? As you pray, you are bathed in the same light that threw Paul to the ground, rising as a new creature. You might physically prostrate yourself in prayer. Welcome the gifts for ministry that the Spirit pours into you.

German TV show reveals a new Dreamcast game
By Mark_Raby 07 December 2010
The Dreamcast was officially discontinued in 2001, but many Sega fans believe it was never given a fair shake, and as such it still sits in the entertainment centers of players all around the world. At least, that's what some people, including Redspot, would like to believe.
This isn't just some fun little side project to prove a Dreamcast game can still be made. It's a massive, fully-developed adventure with 16 levels, 20 bosses, three difficulty levels, and VMU support.
It's region free and works on any MIL-CD compatible Dreamcast system.
The game is available now for pre-order, atRedspotGames.com. It sells for 34.95 euros, or around $46.
Just when you thought you'd seen it all, something like this happens. If you don't believe us, here's the video proof:

Q: Triggering Worksheet_Change by deleting content of a merged cell I've made a piece of code that, when the cell L3 changes, it in turn changes a range of cells, depending on the content of L3.
L3 is a merged cell that spans from L3 to N4, and the code works fine in spite of this, right until the case where the user deletes the content rather than entering something new.
The following code works perfectly fine for unmerged cells:
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

        If Target.Address = Range("L3").Address Then

             If Range("L3") = Sheets("Formatering").Range("F27") Then
                 Tankpladser = "Vælg Tank"

             ElseIf Range("L3") = Sheets("Formatering").Range("F28") Then
                 Range("E11") = Sheets("Formatering").Range("L3")
                 Range("G11") = Sheets("Formatering").Range("L4")
                 Range("I11") = Sheets("Formatering").Range("L5")
                 Range("K11") = Sheets("Formatering").Range("L6")
            ElseIf Range("L3") = "" Then
                 Range("E11:E12,G11:G12,I11:I12,K11:K12").ClearContents
            End If
        End If
End Sub

The problem is that Range("L3") is a merged cell, and is actually Range("L3:N4"). This causes a problem when checking if the cell is blank after deleting the content of the cell.
I am now looking for a way to make something along the lines of this work:
ElseIf Range("L3").MergeArea.Cells(1,1).Value = "" Then
    Range("E11:E12,G11:G12,I11:I12,K11:K12") = ""
End If

A: You may try something like this...
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("L3").MergeArea) Is Nothing Then
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    If Range("L3") = Sheets("Formatering").Range("F27") Then
        Tankpladser = "Vælg Tank"

    ElseIf Range("L3") = Sheets("Formatering").Range("F28") Then
        Range("E11") = Sheets("Formatering").Range("L3")
        Range("G11") = Sheets("Formatering").Range("L4")
        Range("I11") = Sheets("Formatering").Range("L5")
        Range("K11") = Sheets("Formatering").Range("L6")
    ElseIf Range("L3") = "" Then
        Range("E11:E12,G11:G12,I11:I12,K11:K12").ClearContents
    End If
    Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub

Historic Case to Challenge BBC's 9/11 Coverage
Tony Farrell
Tony Rooke
By Peter Drew
Originally at http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article33984.htm
February 17, 2013 "Information Clearing House" - On February 25, in the small town of Horsham in the United Kingdom, there will be a rare and potentially groundbreaking opportunity for the 9/11 truth movement. Three hours of detailed 9/11 evidence is to be presented and considered in a court of law where the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) will be challenged over the inaccurate and biased manner in which it has portrayed the events and evidence of 9/11.
Over the last 16 months, BBC has been challenged strongly by individuals in the UK over two documentaries that they showed in September 2011 as part of the tenth anniversary of 9/11, namely '9/11: Conspiracy Road Trip' and 'The Conspiracy Files: 9/11 Ten Years On'. Formal complaints were lodged with BBC over the inaccuracy and bias of these documentaries, which, according to 9/11 activists, was in breach of the operating requirements of BBC through their 'Royal Charter and Agreement' with the British public. This document requires BBC to show information that is both accurate and impartial. These complaints were supported by the US-based educational charity Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth (AE911Truth), which submitted detailed scientific evidence to BBC to buttress the complaints. The evidence focuses in particular on the confirmed free-fall of WTC 7 and NIST's 2008 admission of this fact. In addition, over 300 AE911Truth petition signers supported these complaints by sending letters to BBC, requesting that BBC show this evidence to the public.

Driven by a purpose of creating healthier lives and happier homes while making a difference in the communities where it operates, RB announced today that it plans to invest $25 million to update and further increase capabilities and capacity at the Mead Johnson Nutrition facility in Evansville, with plans to create 95 new jobs in Southwest Indiana over the next five years.
"In today's global economy, we are committed to building Indiana's international connections and cultivating opportunities to attract new investment and jobs to the state," Governor Eric J. Holcomb said. "As a British company with operations around the world, we are excited to welcome RB to the Indiana team as they revitalize the Mead Johnson facility in Evansville, providing good careers for Hoosiers and creating a better quality of place in southwest Indiana."
RB is a global health and hygiene company and maker of popular consumer goods including Lysol, Mucinex and Air Wick, which added infant nutrition brands to its health portfolio when it acquired Mead Johnson in June 2017, welcoming Evansville employees to its ranks. Since the acquisition, RB has worked to redevelop and revitalize the 44 acres of land that the facility was built on more than 100 years ago.
It will also help the company achieve two important goals: first, to maintain its role as a global leader in pediatric nutrition; and second, to reduce overall costs associated with developing and manufacturing science-based pediatric nutrition products, therefore allowing the Evansville site to remain competitive.
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered RB up to $1.25 million in conditional tax credits based on the company's job creation plans. Evansville City Council is considering additional incentives at the request of Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville.
Indiana is home to 80 British companies across the state, making the U.K. Indiana's second-largest European investor and third-largest globally. Together, these companies, including RB, Rolls-Royce, British Petroleum, BAE Systems and Tate & Lyle, support more than 12,400 jobs across the state.
The Growth Alliance leads Vanderburgh County's economic development efforts assisting companies with growth plans in and into Vanderburgh County. The Growth Alliance manages many initiatives, including investment-based tax incentives for new and existing companies, management of Evansville's business incubator–Innovation Pointe; fostering entrepreneurship in Vanderburgh County.

Q: Casting in Java with hierachy of generics These are my classes definition:
public interface Entity ...
public abstract class EntityBaseClass implements Entity  ...
public class ArticleCategory extends EntityBaseClass ...

And
public interface GenericService<T extends Entity>
public interface ArticleCategoryService extends GenericService<ArticleCategory>
public class ArticleCategoryServiceImpl implements ArticleCategoryService

Why can't I do something like this:
GenericService<Entity> x = new ArticleCategoryServiceImpl();

?

A: Because ArticleCategoryServiceImpl implements ArticleCategoryService which extends GenericService<ArticleCategory> which is not the same as GenericService<Entity>.
You should look at the object being instantiated for polymorphism not the generics it uses.
You can declare x as GenericService<ArticleCategory> though. Which may better since ArticleCategory> can do as much as an Entity and then some.

A: Consider it like this, if you would have a GenericService<Entity>, then you would have for example, a method like this: add(Entity entity), you could pass in ANY entity, even one that is not an ArticleCategory, those causing a exception when handled in the ArticleCategoryServiceImpl implementation. (Remember this implementation takes an ArticleCategory as an argument for the add method)
ArticleCategory is an Entity, but GenericService<ArticleCategory> is not a GenericService<Entity>


(Natural News) According to researchers from the University of Tasmania, taking two-week-long breaks between dieting is the key to greater weight loss. More than just making it easier to shed pounds, taking 14 days off can help keep the weight off far better than continuously dieting.
They came to this conclusion after conducting a randomized clinical trial that had enlisted 51 obese male participants between 25 to 54 years of age. None of the participants exercised regularly, nor did they lose or gain any more weight in the six months leading up to the trial. The men were divided into two groups: one control group that maintained an uninterrupted 16-week diet that cut back their caloric intake by a third; and the experimental group that followed the diet for two weeks, stopped following their meal plan for a fortnight, then resumed the diet once more for another two weeks. The experimental group repeated this pattern for 30 weeks until they had accumulated a total 16 weeks of dieting.
Not only did the men in the experimental group lose 47 percent more weight than the men in the control group , but they also kept the weight off, sustaining a 17.5-weight loss six months after their diet ended.
Nuala Byrne, lead author and head of the University of Tasmania's School of Health Sciences, explained to the DailyMail.co.uk that dieting alters several of the body's biological processes that could actually lead to weight gain.
"When we reduce our energy (food) intake during dieting, resting metabolism decreases to a greater extent than expected — a phenomenon termed 'adaptive thermogenesis' — making weight loss harder to achieve. This 'famine reaction', a survival mechanism which helped humans to survive as a species when food supply was inconsistent in millennia past, is now contributing to our growing waistlines when the food supply is readily available," Byrne stated.
Drinking green tea – This soothing beverage is loaded with potent antioxidants known as catechins. These flavonoids help us shed pounds by making it easier for the body utilize excess body fat, and by increasing fat metabolism. Black tea has few catechins due to its fermentation process, so that's why green tea is the best for this.
Eating more spicy foods – If you can handle the heat, then you should add some spice to your mealtimes. Capsaicin, a compound present in chili peppers, has been found to reduce appetite by a small margin and is believed to enhance metabolism.
Keeping healthy food around – Prepare some healthy and simple snacks — such as whole fruits or nuts — for you store in your home and your place of work. This way, you'll be less tempted to buy unhealthy foods when a snack craving hits you.
Using smaller plates – This is an odd one, but it helps with portion control. Smaller plates and bowls can trick you into thinking that you're filling them up, so you're less likely to pile on more food, and thus more weight.
Sleeping better – Yet another unusual tip, but it makes as much sense as the last one. Sleep deprivation can hike up cortisol levels, which in turn can increase your appetite and your stress levels. When you're stressed, you're likely to opt for carbohydrate-dense, high-fat foods to boost your serotonin and calm you down.

For those of you wondering where the heck I've been, My wife and I went to Washington DC for a few days for the awards banquet in the American Airlines "Flights. Camera. Action" contest. We'd made it to the top five and went out to find out if we were the winners.
Unfortunately, we did not win.
Fortunately, the company who did win, will be putting the grand prize to good use to make the world a better place.
Hope Force International ended up winning, and I can honestly say that they are terrific people, who are worthy of the honor.
I cannot say enough about the staff at American Airlines.
They blew us away with their hospitality.
We didn't win, but they made us feel like we had.
We learned a lot about American Airlines; one thing we realized was that the company has a new focus on earning the loyalty of small and midsized businesses.
Great to see such a thing when it's usually the Fortune 500 companies getting all the perks.
Most of the time, when I travel, I try to keep the daily posts coming, but this time I pretty much took a vacation from everything, including my kids, my ridiculous exercise schedule, and the blog.
I'm home now, ready to resume my life, and am thankful for the experience.

What is the Certificate of Occupancy, and why is it such a big deal?
Without a correct C of O, a building can not be legally occupied. So if you are in a building that doesn't have this document, except in some rare instances, you run the risk of the city issuing a vacate order.
November 3, 2020 - 9:30am
When you're buying in New York City, you need to do your research. One of the documents you need to look up is the Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) and it shouldn't be overlooked. It states how a building can be used—and covers both the type of use the building is zoned for, such as commercial or residential, and also how many residences are permitted at the address.
It might not sound all that important, but it actually has the power to win legal cases, end negotiations, or put the kibosh on your mortgage. Whether you're buying or renovating, you'll want to know that your future plans for the building are allowed. When you're renting—if the Certificate of Occupancy doesn't match the building use—your landlord has no legal right to collect rent.
There's also a document called a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy, which means a building is safe to inhabit but still has some outstanding work to do or permits to obtain before a C of O is granted.
[Editor's note: An earlier version of this article was published in November 2019. We are presenting it again with updated information for November 2020.]
What makes a C of O and a TCO such a big deal?
Without either document, no one can legally occupy a building, so if you are in a building that doesn't have these documents, except in some rare instances, you run the risk of the city issuing a vacate order.
Not sure about your building's status? You can look up any property's C of O through the city's Buildings Information System. If you're a renter, the burden is on your landlord to correct any missing documentation, and they can't collect rent from you if there's no C of O or TCO.
Lack of C of O can hurt your financing
If you're in the process of buying an apartment in a building and have found out it lacks a C of O or TCO, you'll want this addressed immediately.
"You don't want to inherit other people's legal messes," says Dean Roberts, a real estate attorney at the firm Norris McLaughlin. For starters, problems or delays with the C of O can throw off your mortgage process. Banks need at least a TCO to issue financing.
"We may consider a TCO for a mortgage loan, however additional stipulation for the loan approval may be required such as verification of the TCO and validating that the dates do not expire prior to the loan closing date," says Brittney Baldwin, vice president and loan officer at National Cooperative Bank (and a Brick Underground sponsor). Appraisals and underwriting guidelines would need to be met as well.
If you're renting in a building that doesn't have a Certificate of Occupancy allowing residential use of your space, your landlord may not be able to legally collect rent from you. Additionally, says real estate attorney and buyout expert Steven Wagner, "if your landlord can't get a Certificate of Occupancy allowing you to reside in your space, you might be able to negotiate a lucrative buyout deal." To schedule a free 15-minute telephone consultation with Steven Wagner of Wagner Berkow & Brandt, click here or call 646-780-7272.
What triggers a change in C of O?
There are a few common scenarios in which buyers might run into C of O issues. It's often an issue with townhouses that may have been upgraded to create additional living space. A two-family turned into a three-family would typically need a new C of O, but you may find owners who neglected this step.
If you're doing significant renovations or purchasing a fixer-upper with the intention of launching into extensive work, you may need to update the C of O, in addition to getting all the requisite permits.
Any renovation that creates a change in the number of rooms, or a change in the use of the spaces will require a permit, which will mean it is worth checking whether a Change in Occupancy has been triggered. A qualified architect will be able to review your plans and flag any potential issues.
What new development buyers need to know
C of O problems also tend to rear their head for buyers in new construction buildings, which might have a TCO, but can't get a finalized Certificate of Occupancy until they're completed.
"You'll find that the C of O is always a moving target as far as when it's going to arrive, so [the developer or sponsor] is doing their best to estimate, incentivize, and keep people in the transaction," says Nicholas Palance, founder and CEO of Nicholas Palance Real Estate.
To avoid the hassles and expenses that come with a delayed move-in date (such as the need for storage and the cost of temporary digs), it may be worth adding an extra three months onto whatever date a developer gives you for a building's approval.
Buyers can use them for leverage.
Palance points out it is especially important to keep a very close watch on TCO expiration dates.
"I had a $10 million deal derailed because an expired TCO renewal came one day after the buyer was able to back out of the contract. In a declining market, a drawn out process presents an opportunity for the buyer to renegotiate a lower price with the leverage of walking away. In many cases, this can be avoided," he says.
There are also situations where a building's C of O may be inaccurate, for example, if you have a condo conversion where the developer only obtained a TCO, or co-op buildings that are somehow in violation of the C of O. Keep in mind that unlike condos, individual apartments in co-op buildings don't have Certificates of Occupancy; there's simply one C of O for the entire building, meaning your fate might be in management's hands.
How to correct C of O problems
The easiest solution is to hire an experienced expeditor to help speed up the paperwork fix, and the cost that will vary depending on the severity of the issue. "It's a problem that can be fixed assuming the breach is not so terrible as to be a threat to safety or health," Roberts says.
Usually any C of O problem will surface in the title search. "It's one of those things that needs to be addressed well before you close. As a buyer, first assess how serious the problem is and see if it's fixable," Roberts says. One solution is to have the seller put money aside in escrow to allow you to fix the problem. Expeditors don't work for free.

Q: How to assign permission to access only one particular store in magento? I am working on magento 1.8ver .I have created some multiple websites/stores in this.Now I want to create a user and assign permission to access only one particular websites/store in magento. how can i do this ?
Actually, I have created a user and assign custom role for this and it is working fine but there is a option in system->configuration "current configuration scope".In this there are a option "default config"
Please see the attached image for this.
If I change any setting with default config then it reflect on main store.So I want to remove default config from this drop down. So login user in this store can only change own store not others.
Please help me to solve this problem.

A: Magento do not have this feature, however there is paid module http://www.aitoc.com/en/magentomods_advanced_permissions.html

Review // Frànçois & The Atlas Mountains @ Soup Kitchen // 29.03.17
Words by Beth Madden.
New band Koalas opened the gig in the gritty Soup Kitchen basement for what they explain is their first. The synth-pop duo gave an impressive performance that was reminiscent of Everything Everything with the added tinge of a female vocal.
When Frànçois takes to the stage, he can't help but comment, "what a day to be playing the UK" in reference to the triggering of Arcitle 50. An issue presumably close to home, as the band formed in Bristol in 2003 but now reside in Brussels.
Their sound is, as you'd expect, very well polished and despite whether or not you can understand the lyrics of this French dream-pop, it succeeds in making you want to move.
There's something fascinating about a band who can sound so laidback whilst still speaking so politically. It is perhaps their unique mish-mash of South African beats with the kind of indie-pop that makes you think of summer and pastel painted European streets that makes this possible.
New album 'Solide Mirage' does not stray from this. Released earlier this month as their first album since 2014's 'Piano Ombre', the album has produced some effortlessly elegant songs such as '1982' and 'Grand Dérèglement'. After showcasing some of their newer material, the band effortlessly blend together as they slip into fan favourite 'La Vérité' and the gig ends on an energetic high with three quarters of the band jamming together at the front of the stage.
The crowd seem happy to indulge in whichever direction the band take them, whether that be full funk or soft gentle melody. And it's not surprising; despite a few political comments, and the subtly political undertones of their music, they simultaneously make it very easy to forget about the world outside this basement as you become further immersed in their music, making them an especially enjoyable live band.
The end of the gig felt like the appropriate pinnacle of an emotional show, with an array of sounds coming crashing together. This is a band who throw their all into their performances, and they leave the stage looking a mixture of relieved and exhausted, while their audience is left thoroughly satisfied.

Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP) Testing -- Cervical (SCM): Normal Values
Timothy C. Hain, MD • Page last modified: March 2, 2021 • Return to cVEMP main page.
See also: oVEMP norms. We have many other VEMP pages, which are linked to by the main two pages (vemp.html and ovemp.html).
We have done a large number of cVEMPs at our clinic setting in Chicago, as we started doing VEMPs in 2010. We use tone-burst VEMPs, which produce modestly larger responses than clicks. We tried bilateral binaural recording and stimulation, but we switched back to monaural stimuli because of some bad diagnostic experiences where it appeared that there was a VEMP with binaural stimulation, but there was clearly no VEMP with monaural stimulation. We have tried other methods than head-lift, and decided that head-lift is the best. We have tried rectification, and decided this was too noisy. So these are unrectified, monaural, head-lift VEMPs.
The graph above shows the distribution of cVEMP amplitudes in "all comers", which means everyone who had a test done and results in the database (usually these are dizzy people), but excluding patients with a diagnosis of SCD. The most prevalent diagnosis is migraine, where VEMPS are expected to be normal. However, this collection includes some patients with vestibular neuritis, some very old people, etc -- in other words, some of the low potentials may be due to illness. Still, this shows that about a third of dizzy patients have cVEMP amplitudes between 200-300. There are just a few people with very high amplitudes -- and only about 1% of our patients had cVEMPs over 500. We generally do NOT make diagnoses using cVEMP amplitudes, although this data would suggest it should be possible as the distribution is actually fairly tight. Instead we rely on asymmetry and especially thresholds.
Criteria for abnormality.
We consider VEMPS to be abnormal when they are very asymmetrical (one is 2 times or more as large as the other -- an RVR of 33% or greater), low in amplitude (less than 70 for a young population -- see below), or absent (no reproducible wave, or P1 latency outside of our norms). Regarding thresholds, we strongly consider SCD when the thresholds are <=65.
We do not pay much attention at all to latencies -- our thought is that they have no diagnostic utility. Sometimes we use latencies to decide that whatever we are measuring is not a VEMP at all.
Age and Vemp Amplitude
Figure: VEMP amplitude to clicks, as a function of age, from Su et al (2004). VEMP amplitude to tone bursts, as a function of age from Rosengren et al, 2011. Here amplitudes are normalized to background EMG. This is uncommon in clinical settings.
Concerning effects of age, 3 studies have been done -- using 3 different techniques. For clicks, compared to young persons, decreased amplitudes (roughly a factor of two) are seen on persons 70 and older (Su et al, 2004). Similarly, also using clicks but not using commercial equipment, Ochi reported amplitudes of approximately 250 for 20 year olds vs. 90 for 80 year olds.
Basta et al reported similar results for 500 hz tone bursts (2007) but with lower overall amplitudes using a Viking system. These systems seem to produce lower amplitude results, perhaps due to differences in calibration. It has been our general experience that the device that we use (Bio-Logic NavPro) produces larger potentials than most competing devices.
Rosengren et al (2011) reported a somewhat similar drop in amplitude with age. Note here that amplitudes are normalized with respect to background EMG activity, and are not equivalent to the amplitudes of Su which are not normalized. We prefer the non-normalized VEMPs.
Author Value Stimulus
Latency (p13) Su et al 11.33+-.82 Rarification click
Latency n23 Su et al 18.24 +- 1.33 Rarification click
Amplitude p13-n23 Su et al 126+-49.6 Click
IAD ratio Su et al. 0.16 +- .12 Click
At the present writing (2011), it appears to us that in normal persons, and using the Bio-logic Nav-Pro, average VEMP amplitude decline from approximately 150 at the age of 20 to approximately 75 at the age of 70.
As both cVEMPs and oVEMPs decline with age, and because the otolith organs have "moving parts", it would seem likely to us that the otoliths simply wear out -- otoconia are shed, and response amplitude goes down.

Manufacturer quote: "Go where you want to go, easily."
brat from florida would recommend this to a friend.
it was easy to order and came in even faster than I thought it would.
I think it is great, it allows me to get outdoors and do things again.
Moxie from North Carolina would recommend this to a friend.
The scooter is so easy to take apart (by myself) and put in the back of my Ford Focus Wagon. Rides and looks great.
Haven't had any problems yet, but have only had it a few days.
Very lousy service. I repeatedly asked for a tracking number because it was very important where I live to be sure I was home for delivery. No one could give me a tracking number. I repeatedly asked and never got one. Just by luck I was home when it was delivered. They made the sale and could care less after that. I would probably never buy anything from this company again. There are too many other companies that know what good customer service is.
Think it is a good buy for the money.


Ah! Who doesn't like browsing? Everyone do like it. Even I like surfing the internet very much. But what if the image in the page you are browsing is bad? Or your internet connection is slow that it cannot download images properly? Yes you are right. You must disable that image as soon as possible. There are many reasons to block images in web page. If you disable images and photos in the web page then you can browse internet 50% faster than usual. If you using Firefox browser and want to block images then you may find it difficult to do that. This is just because the latest version of Mozilla Firefox doesn't give permission to disable images in websites. You cannot find the option to disable the image in the settings menu. Here in this post I will show you how you can disable each and every photo in the websites that can affect your browsing or internet speed. So let's start.
Since we don't have any option to block images, so we have to install some other extensions to do the same settings for us. Installing this extension is very simple and also to do the rest of the settings. If you are using an updated Firefox then you have to install this. There is no other option to block images. I have given all the procedures in simple steps so you can do it easily and fast. Just follow the simple steps and get rid of unwanted images in your web page.
Steps for Blocking Images in Firefox.
I guess you are from your Firefox browser. If not, then open your browser and load this page in that browser.
After doing this click here.
Install the add-on by clicking on "Add to Firefox" button.
Add on will be downloaded now. Just click on "Install".
After installing, Firefox will ask you to restart the browser. Just click on restart and done.
To use the add-on just click on the image blocker icon. See the screen shot below.
It is very easy to disable images. After clicking on that icon, make sure you have refreshed the page to see the blocked image page. If you want the images back, then simply again click on that icon and refresh the page. All the images will be shown perfectly. This add on is available to download and install. Also if you want to disable specific image in the web page then use Image Blocker v. 1.0.1. It will allow you to block specific image in the whole web page. After installing just right click on desired image and click on "block image". It is very simple to install same as previous one and also it doesn't need restart.
If you have any problem regarding this then please comment below. I will try my best to solve your problems. Blessings.
Share with your buddies too.
