Recent research has shown improved tolerance to tube feeding when using a formula made from fresh, real food ingredients. Gagging, vomiting, reflux, diarrhea and constipation can be common side effects from using commercial formulas. It is essential to customize the feeding to the person's nutritional needs and we must be very careful to ensure all macro and micronutrients are provided in sufficient amounts. A real food blended diet can make an enormous difference in a person's health.
My philosophy as a registered dietitian and nutrition expert may be a bit different than you are used to. I believe that food is medicine and fresh real food has essential phytochemicals, isoflavones, and other nutrients that can not be manufactured. Why must people and children use commercial tube feeding formulas that are full of sugar, maltodextrin, and soybean oil? I will work with you to create a nutrition plan based on your nutrition philosophy and goals. In my years of experience as a registered dietitian I have helped families optimize commercial formula feeding, created nutritionally balanced combo feeding plans, created customized blended tube feed based on a variety of preferences such as whole foods, meal-based, vegan and many more.

Rod Rosenstein Still Sees No Need For A Special Prosecutor On Russia
Apparently, the outcry over Trump's firing of the FBI director changes nothing.
By Chris D'Angelo
WASHINGTON — Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein still sees no reason for an independent special prosecutor to investigate possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, CNN reported Friday.
Rosenstein, who has the power to name a special prosecutor, won't likely change his mind unless he believes the FBI probe into Trump-Russia ties is at risk, according to CNN. He sees no reason to recuse himself from overseeing Justice Department work on the investigation, the network reported, citing people familiar with Rosenstein's thinking.
Democrats' demands for an independent probe have intensified in the wake of President /www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/donald-trump"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true">Donald Trump's /www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-fires-james-comey_us_59123897e4b05e1ca202d173?section=us_politics"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true">firing of FBI Director /www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/james-comey"}}" data-beacon-parsed="true">James Comey, who had been leading the bureau's investigation of Russia's attempt to influence the presidential election and whether Trump's campaign colluded in the effort.
Those cries grew louder after Trump's admission Thursday that the FBI's Russian probe factored into his decision to fire Comey, and his Twitter threat that Comey "better hope that there are no 'tapes' of our conversations."
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said Friday that for Rosenstein to "preserve his reputation," he must appoint a special prosector to pursue criminal charges, or resign. Rosenstein has been on the job a little more than two weeks.
"In an interview with NBC News, President Trump admitted to firing FBI Director James Comey because of his investigation of the Trump campaign's Russian connections — that is dangerously close to obstruction of justice," Durbin said in a statement. "This morning, the President tweeted a thinly veiled threat to Mr. Comey, which could be construed as threatening a witness in this investigation, which is another violation of federal law."
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) joined Durbin in calling for Rosenstein to step aside if he's unwilling to appoint a special counsel, saying the ongoing probes "are far too important to risk disruption, delay or interference."
The White House initially said Trump fired Comey at the recommendation of Rosenstein, who wrote in a May 9 memo that Comey mishandled the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails. Trump contradicted that narrative in his NBC interview, saying he was going to fire Comey regardless.
Rosenstein threatened to resign over the way the White House pinned him as the driving force behind Comey's firing, according to The Washington Post. Some 20 state attorneys general wrote to Rosenstein Thursday, urging him to "consider the damage to our democratic system of any attempts by the administration to derail and delegitimize the investigation," according to the Post.
Rosenstein in March told the Senate Judiciary Committee he would only appoint a special prosecutor if he determines "it's appropriate based upon the policies and procedures of the Justice Department."
Multiple congressional committees also are investigating Russia's interference in the election and possible Trump campaign collusion.

Facts: A seller conveys one-third of the mineral rights of a property to a buyer. The seller reserves the remaining two-thirds of the mineral estate. The buyer later discovers rare, well-preserved dinosaur fossils on the property and sells some of them to a museum after learning of their high value.
Claim: The seller seeks ownership of two-thirds of the dinosaur fossils and sale proceeds, claiming they belong to them since they hold two-thirds of the estate's mineral rights and dinosaur fossils are minerals.
Counterclaim: The buyer seeks ownership of all the dinosaur fossils and sale proceeds, claiming they belong to them since they are the owners of the estate and dinosaur fossils are not minerals.
Editor's note—Mineral rights are explained in first tuesday's video on Land: The First Component of Real Estate.
Once upon a time, in a place now known as Montana, dinosaurs roamed the land. On a fateful day, some 66 million years ago, two such creatures, a 22-foot-long theropod and a 28-foot-long ceratopsian, engaged in mortal combat. While history has not recorded the circumstances surrounding this encounter, the remnants of these Cretaceous species, interlocked in combat, became entombed under a pile of sandstone.
That was then . . . this is now.


Have you ever heard of organic SEO? I bet you have.
However probably not all of you are aware of the true meaning behind this popular term. Actually, you may very well consider this article the first step on your SEO journey.
When people talk about search engine optimization, they usually refer namely to increase in organic traffic. It is probably the most affordable option to the majority of the bloggers and online businesses on the Internet.
Why do most people prefer SEO over PPC?
I know what you're thinking. Because it's free, right? I mean, with pay-per-click you have to have money in your credit card and pay for every click (visitor) that comes at your site.
Well, it really depends at how you look at it.
You see, even if you don't invest a single penny, SEO will eat away at your time. And time is money, remember?
But before you close this page and start looking for articles on PPC, let me tell you why natural SEO is the best thing that can ever happen to your company and business.
Let's begin with some basic definitions, shall we?
What is organic (natural) SEO?
This marketing term refers to all the actions that should improve your Google rankings thus boosting your free (not paid) website traffic.
Naturally, each one of these sections includes a list of sub-sections. Although you are free to modify each one of these steps to your liking, the basic mindset remains. As with everything else, the devil is in the details and these small modifications are precisely what makes an SEO expert great.
OK, so how do you perform each of these 3 vital steps? Can you do it by yourself?
There's free traffic and there's paid one. Any form of paid advertising is regarded as non-organic SEO.
Whether we talk about PPC (pay-per-click), paid advertising or paid affiliate marketing, they all have the same traits. Instead of boosting your internet visibility gradually over time, you pay to be directly placed above everyone else in the paid results.
In Google, these results represent the 4 positions before the organic search results begin. You can easily recognize them by the small green"Ad" icon before each of them.
Non-organic SEO is great for companies with excess money which play big. These paid campaigns can be rather expensive but they can also generate quick profit.
Regardless of your decision, prepare to invest a lot of resources. Maybe not money, but time and effort.
Like with any other marketing process, there is no limit as to how much you can spend. Nevertheless, SEO is the thing of the future and in most cases; it should have priority over all other marketing efforts.
Fair enough. Here you go.
Organic SEO is a good solution if you do not have enough money, if you are able to wait for the results to kick in or if you are a casual blogger. You can also check this simple organic SEO checklist which will get you started.
Keep on reading to learn how to optimize your website by yourself!
Non-organic SEO is great for big companies or for companies that have a revolutionary product/service and just need the initial nudge until their Google rankings improve on their own.
It's also great if you want to test the traffic volume before you start investing in organic search engine optimization.
Ideally, you will combine two methods using paid campaign for short-term profits while developing organic SEO for long-term existence.
I choose natural SEO. How should I begin?
Start with your website. It needs to be quick and responsive providing incredible experience to the visitors.
The first rule of SEO is to try to think like your visitors and to look through their eyes. If your website lacks anything, it will lead to worsen user experience which will hurt your conversion rate and sales.
Layout – When building a responsive website always start by creating a non-responsive layout, fixed at the default size. The first thing to do is to paste the following lines within the <head> and </head> tags on your html page.
Medias – A responsive layout is the first step to a fully responsive website. The next step is called medias. Simply put those are your videos and images.
Typography – In the past most web developers used pixels to define font sizes. This is mostly OK in case your site has a fixed width. Nevertheless, a responsive website should have a responsive font. Indeed, a responsive font size should be related to its parent container width, so it can adapt to the screen of the client.
Your website is the basis upon which all other pieces are added. Without good website architecture, everything else will be for naught.
The technical aspects are very important but it's the content that sells your merch.
Ask yourself this: Do your articles solve people's problems? Are they actionable and easy to follow? Do you lead the user by the hand until they find what they were looking for?
If the answer to even one of these three questions is no then you have work to do.
You see, if your visitors are intrigued by your articles, videos and pictures and find them useful, they will return. User experience is slowly becoming one of the dominant SEO factors.
In that regard, links will no longer do the trick if they are not backed by high click-through-rate (CTR), social shares, high time spend on website (dwell time), etc.
If you think about it, it makes total sense. Why in the world would anyone link to a crappy article in the first place? No way.
Content creation starts by picking the right keyword. OK, but what does "the right" keyword mean?
Usually, by saying this SEOs refer to those words that have a decent amount of search volume but considerably low competition. In a nutshell, these are all the terms that you will have a chance to outrank to enter top 10 results in Google.
How do we pick rankable keywords?
The term Keyword difficulty is the thing that will determine whether or not you even stand a chance of ranking on page one. Have in mind that keyword research is not the only factor important for your SEO but it definitely determines the direction of your campaign.
You just wrote a perfect article? Time to promote it!
A great article is … well, great. However, great is not enough.
Content promotion is the key!
If you think that quality of your article = SEO success, think again. Behind every successful post and first position in Google, there are hundreds of hours spent in promoting it. In fact, blogger outreach is one of the white hat SEO's pillars.
Let's face it, the majority of the websites on the Internet have small audiences.
Even if they had a great article on their hands, most of them wouldn't know what to do with it. How to bring targeted traffic to it and most importantly – how to monetize it. That's why they are doomed to stay small.
The solution? Blogger and influencer outreach.
The concept is dead simple. You write an amazing piece of content and you show it to the right audience which will appreciate its value and will be willing to read, share and link to it. That audience would be all the active bloggers and big names (influencers) within your industry.
Here's a great guide on how to perform blogger outreach the right way.
Social media is the second method for powerful promotion that must be mentioned.
If you have a brand new website, there is not much point in pursuing social media exposure. In most cases, the growth of your social profile will be too slow and even with all that engagement; there is no guarantee you will get any backlinks at the end. And you'll need links to boost your organic rankings.
Also, don't forget that you will need great content before you'll be able to unleash the full power of social media. After all you must have something qualitative to share in the first place.
In that regard, you need to approach social networks as a secondary channel of exposure. Only when your website gains some traction will you be able to utilize your social account to its fullest.
Some people make a mistake by pursuing social media before anything else. Don't do this!
Not that I don't acknowledge the benefits behind a well conducted social media campaign.
However, the potential traffic from top positions in Google scales much better and is more targeted than any social network promotion.
So the bottom line is this. Make sure to focus on getting links and making connections with other bloggers before you start with all-out social media campaign.
Organic white hat SEO is the future of digital marketing.
Now, more than ever, people rely on Google to get the necessary information and to do business.
Forget all about billboards, TV ads, brochures, phone calls, leaflets, door-to-door and other types of promotion. All you'll ever need is first page Google rankings.
SEO is surely better than any form of paid marketing. It not only gives long term results but it also delivers the most targeted and convert-able type of traffic to a website or blog. SEO will take longer time to deliver the expected results, but it pays off in long run if done properly.
Sonia, we're on the same page here then 🙂 Obviously, I am biased as I am doing SEO for over 8 years now, but I really think it's the best way to manage your business.
Use paid traffic to get a site started and to build a social media following while you build up the site's SEO over time.
Hi Nikolay, great article around SEO.
SEO is the best way to drive relevant organic traffic to websites. Businesses started to realize the power of SEO and how it can give a better conversion rate compared to any other marketing channels. I have written an article in which Sam Macroberts relates SEO to Shares, Both on the long term will give us a better Return on Investment.

Long Moonstone Cube & Labradorite Earrings
Sweet and inviting. A trio of darling labradorite stones dangle below a serious of luminous moonstone cubes. The light loves to catch these stones! Lever back earwires. Measure about 2 1/4". Sterling silver.
About Moonstone: Moonstone is one of the most mythical of all gemstones. With its exotic, lunar name and its milky unique rainbow sheen, it has been a highly prized stone throughout history. Moonstone is a sacred stone to the people of India, and was named by the Romans for its ability to reflect moon light, making it a sacred stone to this culture as well. Legend has it that amulets of moonstone, associated with the goddesses Isis (Egyptian), Diana (Roman) and Selene (Greek), were hung in fruit trees to produce abundant crops. Moonstone is one of the birthstones for the month of June (along with pearl).

Virginia men of law constituted one of the first learned professions in colonial America, and Virginia legal culture had an important and lasting impact on American political institutions and jurisprudence. Exploring the book collections of these Virginians therefore offers insight into the history of the book and the intellectual history of early America. It also addresses essential q… uestions of how English culture migrated to the American colonies and was transformed into a distinctive American culture. Focusing on the law books that colonial Virginians acquired, how they used them, and how they eventually produced a native-grown legal literature, this collection explores the law and intellectual culture of the Commonwealth and reveals the origins of a distinctively Virginian legal literature. The contributors argue that understanding the development of early Virginia legal history-as shown through these book collections-not only illuminates important aspects of Virginia's history and culture; it also underlies a thorough understanding of colonial and revolutionary American history and culture.

Roberto Rastapopoulos is a fictional character in The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé. He first appears in the album Cigars of the Pharaoh (1934) and is a criminal mastermind with multiple identities, whose activities frequently bring him in conflict with his archenemy Tintin.

Character history

Early development
A visual prototype for Rastapopoulos  appears in Tintin in America, where he is among the assembled dignitaries at a Chicago banquet held in Tintin's honour. Here he is seated next to the actress Mary Pikefort, an allusion to the real-life actress Mary Pickford. Michael Farr asserted that this was indeed a depiction of Rastapopoulos, and that it would be expected for a film director to be seated next to a Hollywood actress. The name "Rastapopoulos" had been invented by one of Hergé's friends; Hergé thought it was hilarious and decided to use it. He devised Rastapopoulos as an Italian-American with a Greek surname, as a Greek American, or simply as a Greek born on the island of Leros, but the character fitted anti-Semitic stereotypes of Jews; Hergé was adamant that the character was not Jewish. With his lampooned Greek surname, large nose and morally dubious involvement in shipping, it is evident that Hergé modelled Rastapopoulous off Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis, allegedly hellenophobically.

Hergé first introduced the character of Rastapopoulos in Cigars of the Pharaoh, which was serialised in Le Petit Vingtième from 8 December 1932 to 8 February 1934.
Tintin runs into him at the start of the adventure aboard the M.S. Isis, a cruise ship docking at Egypt. Here, the Egyptologist Sophocles Sarcophagus bumps into Rastapopoulos, and Rastapopoulos threatens to beat him until Tintin intervenes. He then shouts at Tintin, accusing him of being an "Impudent whipper-snapper!" Tintin recognises Rastapopoulos, commenting that he is "the millionaire film tycoon, king of Cosmos Pictures... And it's not the first time we've met..." Later in the story, Tintin runs into Rastapopoulos again, this time running into his desert film set, interrupting an apparent assault on a young woman before realizing that it was only part of the film. Although many of the actors are annoyed, Rastapopoulos is affable, and invites Tintin into his tent where, over a pot of Turkish coffee, Tintin informs him of everything that has happened to him since leaving the cruise ship, and Rastapololous subsequently provides him with clothes and directions to another village. Farr noted that this idea of the hero mistakenly trusting the villain was one that had been used by John Buchan and Alfred Hitchcock, the latter of whom was an influence on Hergé.

Rastapopoulos reappears— this time disguised in a trench-coat and hat— at the end of the story, where he and a fakir kidnap the crown prince of Gaipajama in vengeance for the Maharajah's war against the opium trade. Tintin pursues them, and a car chase ensues, before Tintin encounters the still-disguised Rastapopoulos on a rocky mountainside, with the criminal boss apparently falling to his death when the cliff-ledge he is on breaks under his foot.

Hergé reintroduced Rastapopoulos in the following adventure, The Blue Lotus, which was set in China and dealt with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. In one scene, Tintin hides in a Shanghai cinema that is screening The Sheik's House, Rastapopoulos' film that Tintin witnessed being filmed in the preceding story, later learning that Rastapopoulos, currently staying in the city, was the last person to see a famous doctor who Tintin believes could cure the dangerous poison of madness (Although he accepts Rastapopoulos' story that he dropped the doctor off at his house after a party). At the end of The Blue Lotus, Rastapopoulos is exposed as the leader of the international opium smuggling organisation that Tintin had previously battled in Cigars of the Pharaoh, and is subsequently imprisoned.

Later appearances
Rastapopoulos subsequently  resurfaces in the guise of the Marquis di Gorgonzola, a millionaire magnate and slave trader in The Red Sea Sharks, having been forced to assume a new identity after he was arrested for his previous crimes. When Tintin, Haddock, and Skut end up on his yacht (a caricature of Aristotle Onassis luxurious yacht Christina), he tricks them into getting on Allan's ship, which he later tries to have torpedoed after the crew evacuate and a plan to destroy it in a fire fails. Rastapopulos fakes his death by making his boat sink, while escaping in a submarine from the bottom.  (In The Castafiore Emerald, Bianca Castafiore mentions that the media has inaccurately claimed she was engaged to be married to the Marquis di Gorgonzola.)

He later kidnaps the millionaire Laszlo Carreidas in Flight 714 to Sydney to gain the number of his multi-million Swiss Bank account, concluding that it is easier to steal Carreidas's money than make his own fortune all over again. When he is accidentally injected with truth serum by Dr. Krollspell, he reveals various evil deeds, such as his plan to kill Dr. Krollspell afterwards. He is taken hostage by Tintin. Like Krollspell and Carreidas, he is tied up and gagged with sticking plaster. Throughout the course of the story he suffers more and more injuries. First when Haddock breaks his gun chasing Rastapopoulos, he throws part of it away, and it hits the hiding Rastapopoulos on the head. When he continues to run away and is called to by Allan, he is distracted and crashes into a tree. He experiences pain to the face when Allan pulls the sticking plaster off. When Allan is about to throw a grenade at Tintin and Co, he remembers that Rastapopoulos wants Carreidas alive and throws it away. Rastapopoulos is caught in the blast, leaving his clothes in tatters. When Allan pulls Carreidas' hat from under a stone head, he accidentally elbows Rastapopoulos, giving him a black eye. Later his bump on the head goes away, which he takes as a good omen. However a piece of rock falls onto his head just after he notices this as the result of an earthquake, causing another bump. When explosives are used by the gang to break through a stone barrier, a volcanic eruption is set off, forcing them to flee from the Island in a rubber dinghy. He and his gang are hypnotized by Mik Kanrokitoff and taken onto a UFO. What happens next to them is unrevealed.

In the unfinished Tintin and Alph-Art, a character often thought to be Rastapopoulos in disguise—under the name of Endaddine Akass—appears. Although a page revealing Akass to be Rastapopoulos was started (and printed in the 2004 Egmont edition), as the book was never completed, Rastapopoulos' fate following Flight 714 to Sydney is unknown.

Rastapopoulos also appears in Tintin and the Lake of Sharks, an animated film and later adapted into a similarly titled book. In this story written by a friend of Hergé, Rastapopoulos is a criminal gang leader directing operations from a secret underwater base. He is behind numerous robberies of valuable items around the world and plans to steal a duplicating machine invented by Professor Calculus, allowing him to replace the items with perfect fakes so that nobody will know of his crimes. However while trying to escape by submarine after his activities are exposed, he is captured by Tintin and Haddock, and arrested by the Syldavian Police.

Rastapopoulos appears in the pastiche Destination World by Didier Savard, a pastiche authorized by the Hergé Foundation to celebrate Tintin's 70th birthday and the Comics Festival in Angoulême. A disguised Rastapopoulos is shot with a gun by unknown assailants passing in a car in front of the building Le Monde.

Critical analysis
Michael Farr argued that the relationship between Tintin and Rastapopoulos was akin to that between Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty in Arthur Conan Doyle's stories. Farr thought that Rastapopoulos was the one enemy who "it must be feared, might one day get the better of him."

Senior center Kelsey Lang reaches for a rebound in Saturday's 63-58 victory against Kansas State at the Frank Erwin Center. Lang reached the 1,000-point milestone in the matchup.
Junior guards Ariel Atkins and Brooke McCarty have clinched many victories for Texas in crunch time throughout their careers.
Freshman forward Joyner Holmes embraced that role Saturday.
Tied with the Wildcats with under two minutes to play, Holmes converted back-to-back layups on a pair of dimes from sophomore guard Lashann Higgs to lead the No. 12 Longhorns past Kansas State, 63-58, at the Frank Erwin Center.
Those four points — part of a team-high 21-point outing for Holmes — proved to be the final two field goals of the game as Texas forced five-straight Wildcat misses in crunch time.
Saturday's win over the Wildcats ties the longest conference win streak in program history at 12. The team moved to a perfect 12-0 against Big 12 opponents and 18-4 overall.
A strong performance from Texas' other big, senior center Kelsey Lang, propelled her to two career milestones. With 10 points, nine rebounds and a game-high five blocks, Lang moved into seventh place on Texas' all-time career blocks list with 160.
Lang's 10 points also earned her a place in Texas' 1,000-point club. She's one of only 41 players in school history to accomplish the feat.
Lang's composure will be tested as the Longhorns turn their attention to the season's most anticipated matchup — Monday's road contest against No. 2 Baylor.
Texas heads to Waco for the first meeting between the Big 12's top two teams with a lot at stake –– sole possession of the top spot in the conference.
Baylor boasts a formidable two-way playstyle, sitting at No. 2 nationally in scoring offense and No. 3 in scoring defense.
Texas, which has controlled the rebounding battle in 20 of its 22 games this season, will likely find itself outmatched on the glass against a bigger Baylor team. Texas sits at No. 4 nationally in rebounding margin at plus 11.2. The No. 1 spot in that category belongs to the Bears.
Baylor's only loss of the season came at the hands of the nation's premier team –– No. 1 Connecticut on Nov. 17. The Huskies handed Texas its most recent loss back on Dec. 4. Texas is a perfect 16-0 since it squared off against the Huskies.
In her final trip to Waco, Lang understands what a road win of this significance would mean for this team's lofty aspirations.
The key to success in Waco may lie in the hands of Texas' frontcourt tandem –– Lang and Holmes. Holmes is prepared for her first matchup against Texas' top conference foe. The two teams tipoff on Monday at 7 p.m.

Ding Junhui and Alan McManus Press Conferences
— snookerbacker @ 6:24 pm
It's the end of the road for Alan McManus who has undoubtedly been one of the highlights of this championship. He bows out gracefully to Ding, who produced a record breaking performance in what at times was a pulsating match.
Ding is into his first final where he will face either Mark Selby or Marco Fu, here is what the two had to say after the match.
Ding Junhui
Alan McManus
World Championship Semi-Finals
Snooker Head to Heads
— snookerbacker @ 8:45 am
Two become One today. Let's just hope they have picked the one on the left.
And then there were four…..two seeds are left in the bottom half, only one of whom was seeded to be there and two qualifiers from Ponds Forge will battle out the top half semi final, which starts this afternoon.
Once again, this great championship has thrown up some big surprises, imagine the odds at the start on the likes of Ronnie, Robbo, Judd, Allen, Murphy and Higgins all being dumped out before the semi-finals? But that is precisely what has happened after a breathtaking night of drama at The Crucible on Wednesday, proving once again why there is truly no better place on the planet for snooker.
The nostalgic amongst us, in that I of course include myself, will be rooting for Alan McManus, his press conferences (if you haven't watched them yet, do yourself a favour), have endeared him to the press and public alike and his general sense of wonderment and reflection on his achievement already are somewhat reminiscent of Stuart Bingham last year and we all know what happened then.
Angles laughs off the fatigue argument and gave very good reasons for doing so after winning last night, even claiming that the best of 33 over 3 days feels less tiring to him than the best of 19 in the first round. His opponent, who carries the hopes and dreams of a nation should however be fresh as the proverbial daisy given that he actually lives in Sheffield so presumably with his day off has just done a bit of housework. After all, those dishes don't clean themselves.
Ding of course would be a huge winner for the sport and it's global ambitions, it would even be worth us having to endure the inaccurate talk of the Chinese Snooker Revolution just to see his smiling face when he won. He may not get a better chance than this and looks more relaxed this year than any other, what I will say however is that his last match for me was something of a false result, given the problems MJW had with his equipment, in MJW's words, Ding played alright but he'd have lost that match to anybody.
The other semi-final sees the rather understated presence of the champion of two years ago Mark Selby, who has steadily made his way here without yet facing a seeded player, but having taken care of the very dangerous Kyren Wilson in typical workmanlike fashion in his last match. He'll face Marco Fu who was very nearly the victim of the fightback of the century by Barry Hawkins, he held himself together admirably at the end but the manner in which he allowed Barry back into it will cause concern for his supporters and those who crave an all-Asian final.
So who will be contesting the final on Sunday and Monday? I'd love to see Angles there but equally wouldn't mind if Ding made it and ultimately became the champion, I'd have more chance of getting my SB Classic £1000 World Champion Scholarship off Selby I reckon but that shouldn't come into play. The likely final for me is Ding against Selby, it would be a great spectacle for the sport if it were to happen, though equally I'd like to see Angles there, but the head has to rule the nostalgic heart on that one.
Semi Finals (click on the match for the head to head)
Alan McManus v Ding Junhui (Starts at 1pm Thursday)
Marco Fu v Mark Selby (Starts at 7pm Thursday)
Recommended Bets: 3 point double on each match having over 3 centuries pays just under 5/2. 3 points on Selby to have over 2 centuries at 5/4.
Wednesday Night Press Conferences
What can you say but, Oh what a night at The Crucible. Angles beats Higgins and Marco beats Barry. Sometimes written words are not needed, so I will leave you all with the spoken.
John Higgins
Marco Fu
Mark Selby and Kyren Wilson Press Conferences
— snookerbacker @ 12:46 pm
The 2014 champion Mark Selby is the next name into the semi-finals as he took care of business against Kyren Wilson by 13 frames to 8.
Some consolation for Kyren was his 143 break which is now the tournament's highest, he can also reflect on a great championship and look forward surely to being here as a seeded player next season for the first time. The six frame start he gave Selby was always going to be nigh on impossible to peg back.
Mark Selby
Kyren Wilson
Ding Junhui and Mark Williams Press Conferences
An absolute walloping was administered last night as Ding Junhui finished with a session to spare to send Mark Williams home. Williams was playing with a new tip on his cue which obviously affected his play and his mindset, but regardless of that, Ding marches on, can he do it for China?
World Championship Quarter Final Preview
Click the pic to view my other Instagram Crucible photos
We are down to the final eight in Sheffield as the business end of the championship approaches. What we have left are five seeded players and three who came through the qualifiers, can a qualifier win this great championship for the first time since Shaun Murphy in 2005? Alan McManus, Ding Junhui and Kyren Wilson will be hoping so.
It is a shame that much of the first week has been ruined by the table used for the top half of the draw, it's not often that I agree 100% with players going on about big bounces and kicks but even to an amateur eye like mine, table one has been totally ridiculous all week and has ruined the chances of a number of players.
It's not too much to ask to have perfect tables for this and unfortunately, the Star tables, for whatever reason do not play with the consistency of the old Riley ones. Whether it's the cloth, the balls or the tables themselves, you'd think World Snooker would be asking some very tough questions of their suppliers, no matter what it means to the financial bottom line as someone is clearly not delivering the right quality product.
There have been some highlights so far, Carter and Bingham gave us the annual Day 1 thriller, despite the table they were trying their best to play on, Judd's first rounder against Wenbo as well as his later match with Ding helped things along, while the late night decider which saw Ronnie on his way home provided that extra spice. We've seen very strong performances from Sam Baird, Michael Holt and Kyren Wilson and also some of the old guard coming to the fore, just look at the last eight and once again it proves, if any further proof were needed, that snooker is very much a middle-aged man's game these days predominantly. There is no substitute for experience.
So here is a look at the last eight who now battle it away to reach the 'one table situation', will it be a new champion or a familiar face at the end adding their name again to the famous old trophy? Time will tell….
CLICK ON THE MATCH FOR THE HEAD TO HEAD.
Alan McManus v John Higgins
Och aye the noo naa, it's only an all Scottish Quarter Final. It's over 20 years since these two old muckers first locked horns and they've been meeting regularly ever since. A look at the head to head sees John with a slender advantage, but it's Angles that has won their last two encounters, including a first rounder here two seasons back. John however sounds in determined mood and it could be argued that the draw is falling into place for him to equal Ronnie's five world titles. He's a different player to the one who has been bereft of confidence for the past few seasons here and looks very much like his old self, which is bad news for the others, he is also now installed as the favourite to win the title. Alan has had a great run and I hope it continues, but the heart can't overrule the head on this one and I'd expect John to win with a bit in hand although he does look a little tired, the bookies agree so there isn't really any value out there.
Prediction: Higgins 13-6
Ding Junhui v Mark Williams
Both look in fine fettle moving into this mouth-watering Quarter Final, Ding looks to be finding life a little easier than usual as a qualifier and looks a little more at home in a venue he has struggled with a lot in the past, many now think it's his year. Williams on the other hand continues to play down his chances, claiming he has no chance of winning it and that the winner isn't even in his half (though he said this when Ronnie was still in it). He is a law unto himself but I don't think everyone is fooled by this and within lies a steely competitor who I am sure thinks he is still capable of adding to his world crown tally and he won't get a better chance than this to do so. I think he's in great form and if this comes down to a battle of temperament at the end I would always stake my last penny on Williams. He is the proven winner here and he's playing as well if not better than Ding, I think the bookies have got this one wrong.
Prediction: Williams 13-9
Recommended Bet: 4 points on Williams at 9/4
Marco Fu v Barry Hawkins
Wasn't this supposed to be Ronnie against Murphy? But against all odds we have Marco and Barry lining up to do battle after The Hawk's heroics against Ronnie. Marco is as ever, the quiet man in all this, he's made his way here with mixed performances, brilliant against Ebdon and a bit patchy against McGill, but he's capable of scrapping when he has to. Barry is attempting to make it four consecutive years getting to the one table situation, which will have the anoraks reaching for the almanac to find out when this was last done (I'm guessing Hendry). Of course he is yet to win it but against Ronnie he showed that he has both the game and the bottle to go that extra step. I'd be surprised if he lost here, Marco has played well, but Barry at times, has been sublime and has to take so much confidence from his last match.
Prediction: Hawkins 13-8
Recommended Bet: 3 points on Hawkins (-2.5 frames) at 5/4
Kyren Wilson v Mark Selby
Selby is coming through in typical style and doing just enough to win, which we now come to expect from him. He had a scare against Sam Baird and any repeat of that performance will obviously see him in a real dogfight again here. Kyren has been so impressive and approached his match against Mark Allen in ruthless style and perhaps more tellingly, in the style of a future champion, winning the match effectively in the first session. Who is to say he won't do the same here? Selby to me doesn't look to be playing as well as he was when he won it two years ago and the wind is in The Warrior's sails, this is one of those matches where logic is thrown out of the window in return for a 'funny feeling', that is what I have about Kyren here, perhaps this is his time.
Prediction: Wilson 13-10
Recommended Bet: 3 points on Wilson at 9/4
Recommended Bet: 2 point double on Williams and Wilson pays almost 10/1. 2 points on Williams to win the Championship at 16/1. 2 points on Kyren Wilson to win the Championship at 12/1.

House of the Dragon: The final picture of Viserys and his relationship with the White Walkers
November 5, 2022 - by ariana - Leave a Comment
King Viserys II was central to the plot of the first season of House of the Dragon. His death was practically the beginning of the end for his family. Now an image links the late monarch to one of the terrifying white walkers who would strike fear into Westeros 200 years later.
November 4, 2022 11:42 p.m.
The house of the dragon given to King Viserys I (Paddy Considine) exactly how important it was. With only one season HBOthe fantasy drama took the ruler of the seven kingdoms on a journey full of glory, love, pain and loss accompanied by Alicent (Olivia Cooke), Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) and his brother Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith).
Viserys I Targaryen died near the end of the first season of House of Dragons
Although it was not a path of roses that the character wanted to walk, as it was riddled with hatred, betrayals, intrigues and disunity of his family, it was memorable and so important that it set the events that follow House of the Dragon in the coming seasons of the drama.
His end in the House of Dragons was marked by conflict and the need to express his knowledge of what might happen in the future in Westeros. The last pictures fans saw of him depicted the pain of his wife Aemma's death (Sian Brooke) devoured him, inside and out, leaving virtually nothing of what Viserys I Targaryen had once been.
Precisely because of those images from episode 8 of House of the Dragon that show the decay of his body, a strong rumor linking him to the White Walker. More specifically, it has been suggested that it could be the creepy spear-wielding White Walker that appeared in Game of Thrones.
We knew from the beginning of House of Dragons that King Viserys was suffering from a leprosy-like disease that was eating away at him. This resulted in him looking much older at 52 than he actually was at the time of his death. Viserys passed away at the end of episode 8 and we saw his embalmed body in episode 9. So one thing we can be sure of is that Viserys is very much dead..
The theory holds that Viserys was revived in Game of Thrones to become a White Walker
This is important because the White Walkers are made of living humans. Those resurrected by the Night King after death are known as Ghosts, not White Walkers. Now this rumor may have grown due to the fact that Viserys' body was not cremated.
At the time, of course, the Great Sept of Baelor did not exist. But his body could have been moved there after construction. Although in this potential scenario his body would have been incinerated anyway in the explosion we saw in Game of Thrones. That scenario also leaves us with no bodies to reanimate, so no, House of Dragons Viserys probably won't be a Trident White Walker.

It's been a common belief held by smokers for ages: Smoking a pack of cigarettes a day is bad—so if you cut down to just a cig or two, that's much better, right?
Well, it might not be as helpful as you think: Smoking just one cigarette a day is linked to a surprisingly high level of health risks, new research published in the journal BMJ suggests.
In the meta-analysis, researchers crunched the numbers from 141 previous studies looking at the number of cigarettes people smoked and their subsequent health risks.
They discovered that men who smoked just one cigarette were 74 percent more likely to develop coronary heart disease than nonsmokers were, even when the researchers adjusted for possible factors that could skew the results, like age and other heart risks like high cholesterol. Men who smoked 20 cigs a day—generally a pack—had more than double the chances of heart disease than nonsmokers.
As for brain health? Men who smoked just one cigarette a day were 30 percent more likely to have a stroke than nonsmokers were. Guys who sucked down 20 cigs a day had more than twice the risk of stroke as nonsmokers did.
While the excess risk of developing heart disease and suffering a stroke was lower for those smoking just one cigarette a day compared to a pack a day, it wasn't as low as the researchers thought they'd be.
If you did the math, you'd expect that smoking one cigarette a day compared to 20 would give you 1/20 the risk, or five percent of the excess risk you'd expect from smoking a pack a day. Instead, they found that men smoking just one cig a day had almost half the risk of heart disease and just over 40 percent of the stroke risk that pack-a-day guys had.
The chemicals in cigarette smoke can damage the structure and function of your blood vessels, increasing your risk of arteriosclerosis, or the buildup of waxy plaque. Over time, this can narrow and harden your arteries, limiting blood flow and potentially leading to heart attack or stroke, according to the National Institutes of Health.
The findings of this study suggest that simply limiting your cigarettes isn't the answer.
So make 2018 the year you finally quit smoking for good. Need some motivation to get started? Find out what really worked for three former smokers who finally kicked the habit.
And don't worry if you've failed a quit attempt in the past, Dr. Michael Chaiton, told us previously. It might take you a few more times than you originally thought to become smoke-free for good. Something you can do to boost your odds of quitting? Don't be afraid to combine quitting aids, like trying behavioural counselling along with meds like nicotine replacement therapy.

Idris Elba And Tom Taylor Make Quite The Team In 'The Dark Tower' Trailer
By Holly Williams in Movies / TV / Theatre on 04 May 2017
Follow Idris Elba
Idris Elba Matthew Mcconaughey Stephen King
The first glimpse of Idris Elba and Tom Taylor in action on 'The Dark Tower'.
The full trailer for Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower' has finally been unveiled, seeing Idris Elba, Matthew Mcconaughey and Tom Taylor in the lead roles. It's a dark blend of fantasy, sci-fi and traditional western, which is what makes it one of the most exciting films of the year.
Idris Elba and Tom Taylor team up for 'The Dark Tower'
Idris Elba plays the formidable Gunslinger in Nikolaj Arcel's adaptation of Stephen King's best-selling series of novels, with Matthew McConaughey as the evil Man in Black and Tom Taylor as the Gunslinger's unlikely 11-year-old quest partner Jake Chambers.
'The Dark Tower' is Tom Taylor's first major movie role
The first question you might have is who is Tom Taylor and where have I seen him before? The pre-teen actor made his film debut in 2012 on an action film called 'Broken Hearts' in which he starred (ironically also with the name Jake) as the son of Suranne Jones' character. Apparently their chemistry was such a hit that he was chosen as her onscreen son again for the award-winning 2015 BBC series 'Doctor Foster'. That year he also made an appearance in an episode of 'The Last Kingdom', as well as two episodes of Sean Bean crime drama 'Legends'.
Watch the trailer for 'The Dark Tower' here:
So 'The Dark Tower' will be Tom's first major screen role; a story that sees his character Jake travel to another world through a portal after experiencing visions of such a place in his dreams. The new dimension, Mid-World, is a rather empty Old West world that was once populated by people known as Gunslingers.
Idris Elba plays the Gunslinger in 'The Dark Tower'
Now, the only Gunslinger left is Roland Deschain, and he and Jake must band together and search for a mysterious tower in End-World if they want to have any hope of saving both Mid-World and Earth. However, their mission is constantly being sabotaged by a deceptive sorcerer known as the Man in Black or Walter Padick who wants to destroy the tower and rule over all dimensions himself.
Matthew McConaughey plays the villainous Man in Black
Nikolaj Arcel wrote the script for this movie, which follows on from events in the 2004 book 'The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower', alongside Academy Award winning screenwriters Anders Thomas Jensen ('The Duchess') and Akiva Goldsman ('A Beautiful Mind'), alongside Jeff Pinkner ('The Amazing Spider-Man 2').
Idris Elba's character is also known as Roland Deschain
Meanwhile, Idris Elba has plenty more big roles coming up. He will return for 'Thor: Ragnarok' later this year as Heimdall, as well as romance/survival drama 'The Mountain Between Us' opposite Kate Winslet and Aaron Sorkin's 'Molly's Game' also starring Jessica Chastain.
'The Dark Tower' is released in theatres on August 4th 2017.

Cosmic Force
Discography on New Flesh Records:
Cosmic Force – Frontline Fuel – NF23
COSMIC FORCE began his musical career at the early age of 15. He first started making mixtapes, like many early hip hop heads, with a cassette recorder and a turntable he borrowed from his mother. COSMIC FORCE then started to experiment with guitar stompboxes and effect processors which he used on excisting music. Attracted by the (at that time) upcoming hiphop/electro scene of the early eighties, influenced and inspired by these fresh hiphop and electro sounds combined with the more experimental music from Pierre Henri, Oscar Sala and Kraftwerk, he developed his own sound. The first Cosmic Force release was in 1996 on Clone Records. After this, he had numerous releases under different pseudonyms, like Ototax, Proskool, Double Dutch and Dr. Switch..

Q: How to print out elements of a class I just got started with python, now I need to print out the names of elements/objects/instances of a class, this is my code:
class Delicious :
    sweet = 0
    sour = 0

apple = Delicious()
kiwi = Delicious()
litchi = Delicious()

bracket = [apple, kiwi, lichi]

print(bracket)

I ran it in the terminal, it prints out:
[<main.Delicious object at 0x1019d9940>, <main.Delicious object at 0x1019d9978>, <main.Delicious object at 0x1019d99b0>]
how do I make it print apple kiwi litchi?
The other answers are too hard for me, can somebody answer it simply?

A: The way to get this to work is by grabbing the instances name from globals() and returning it from __str__:
class Delicious :
    sweet = 0
    sour = 0

    def __str__(self):
        for k, v in globals().items():
            if v == self:
                return k

    def __repr__(self):
        return str(self)

Now printing will return the name as you defined it:
apple = Delicious()

print(apple)
apple

Printing a list that contains your objects will call their __repr__, so you can either also define __repr__ to return __str__s result, or call print(*bracket) to unpack the list in the print call which uses their __str__ function:
print(bracket)
[apple, kiwi, lichi]

print(*bracket)
apple, kiwi, lichi

But this make 0 practical sense, in Python names are just labels assigned to objects, by using print and printing the name you get no information about the underlying object.

Disastrous Consequences
Houphouet-Boigny Stadium Stampede – 2009
West African soccer fans like to turn matches into carnivals and the 2010 World Cup qualifier between Cote d'Ivoire and Malawi was no exception. Tickets had sold out long beforehand and the newly refurbished Houphouet-Boigny Stadium in Abidjan was packed with an exuberant crowd, gloriously costumed and painted in the Ivorian team colors of orange, green and white, playing musical instruments, cheering and dancing. There were high hopes of success. Not for nothing are the Ivorian team known as 'The Elephants': robust athleticism combined with sound technical skills makes them a force to be reckoned with. Several of the national team play for European clubs and among the stars the fans had come to see were Hibernian defender Sol Bamba, Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou and Cote d'Ivoire team captain Didier Drogba.
Long before the match was due to start the crowd around the stadium was already heaving. Then, just before kick-off, a wall collapsed as fans jostled to get into the game. Pandemonium broke out and police fired tear gas into the surge of fans, making an already bad situation even worse; anyone who stumbled was crushed or trampled underfoot in the panic. Amazingly, the match went ahead as though nothing was happening; Cote d'Ivoire defeated Malawi 5-0.
Though officials blamed ticketless fans for the tragedy, a FIFA enquiry concluded that the Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) was responsible. The security staff had not been sufficiently trained or equipped to prevent a stampede. The FIF was fined and ordered to pay compensation to the victims' families. The Houphouet-Boigny tragedy was just the latest in a series of disastrous football stadium stampedes across the African continent, all due to lack of proper crowd control.
When was the Houphouet-Boigny Stadium Stampede: March 29 2009
Where was the Houphouet-Boigny Stadium Stampede: Houphouet-Boigny Stadium, Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire
What was the Houphouet-Boigny Stadium Stampede death toll: At least 22 were killed and more than 130 injured
You should know: In high-scoring matches in 1992 and 2006, Cote d'Ivoire defeated Ghana 11-10 and Cameroon 12-11. Both matches were clinched by 24-shot penalty shoot-outs, the highest in international football.

The applicants, 25 French citizens, had been living in mobile homes in a French town for many years. The site where the applicants' mobile homes were situated was a protected natural area under the land-use plan of the department. The authorities never sought to enforce judgments against the applicants to leave the land, even after many years, but the authorities had taken steps to relocate several families. Four of the applicants' families received social housing, two families moved in another part of the country, while the rest of the applicants remained on the same land.
The urgent-applications judge dismissed the action of the municipality to evict the residents. Another (non-urgent) action was brought by the municipality before the tribunal de grande instance, which ordered the defendants to leave the land within three months from the date of the judgment and pay a EUR 70 fine per person, for each day of delay. The Court of Appeal upheld the tribunal's judgment. The applicants did not proceed with an appeal, as they were denied legal aid.
The 25 applicants and the International Movement ATD Fourth World complained to the European Court of Human Rights, claiming that the court order amounted to a violation of Article 8, protecting the right to respect for private and family life, taken alone and in conjunction with Article 14 (prohibition of discrimination). A Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights held unanimously that the eviction of the travellers from the land they occupied for many years amounted to a violation of their right to private and family lives.
The European Roma Rights Center submitted a third-party intervention, addressing several points.
Firstly, the ERRC emphasized that "sheds/caravans" qualify as "homes" or "possessions" for the purposes of Article 8 ECHR and Article 1, Protocol 1 to the Convention, on the right to property.
Secondly, the ERRC stressed that the demolition of Roma sheds or caravans should only take place under the same conditions for the demolition of "ordinary" houses including: access to a court, which alone can decide on the legality of the demolition; other legal safeguards which should be ensured; and an obligation on the state to provide alternative accommodation.
Further, the ERRC argued that adequate remedies to forced evictions should include a right to alternative accommodation.
The Court only considered the matter under Article 8 ECHR. The European Court of Human Rights found that the interference with the applicants' right to respect for private and family life was prescribed by law and pursued the legitimate aim of environment protection. The Court found that the proportionality of the interference was not examined by the national courts. The national courts' adjudication was based, according to the European Court, solely on the fact that the applicants' living on the land was contrary to the land-use plan. The national courts therefore failed to strike a fair balance between competing interests and to assess whether there was a pressing social need to evict the applicants. The Court also made clear that Travellers and Roma should not be subject to forced evictions unless they are re-housed, except in cases of force majeure.
A blog by members of the ERRC legal team about the case is available here.
The ERRC's third-party intervention is available here.
The judgment is available in English here, in French here, and in Italian here.
The ERRC commissioned an Italian translation of the judgment.
A communication the ERRC sent to the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, asking them to apply a stricter standard of scrutiny when overseeing the execution of the judgment, can be found here.
On 28 April 2016 the Court delivered a follow-up judgment on just satisfaction. Based on the judgment, the French Government had to pay amounts adding up to hundreds of thousands of euros to the applicants. The judgment (in French) is available here.


cut a stl file and save them. Dear all, I am quiet new to vtk. I meet some problems using vtk. This is what I am trying to do: 1. read an stl 2. cut the stl in half by a plane 3. add the...... plug that was put into the original .stl file using TinkerCAD. With TinkerCAD, you can import .stl files to modify.(fix 2) You simply import them directly into your workplane.
27/05/2015�� To complete what Jim said, an STL file is in a polygonal mesh format, while FreeCAD mainly works with B-Rep shapes which are composed of mathematically precise (and smooth) surfaces rather of triangles (called facets).... 21/09/2016�� Hi, I imported an STL file into a new project, and have assigned three toolpaths to it. My final step calls for a profile cut to release the piece from a large material blank.
13/09/2014�� Re: Cutting a hole from a sketch from an imported STL file Brian Morris Sep 12, 2014 9:46 AM ( in response to Jeffrey Sirlina ) To cut out the holes you want to use the Extruded Cut �... If you have an STL Model that is too big from your 3D Printer, you can cut it up into smaller pieces and print it out. This is how I do it, works well.
I have a Data 'skull' it is from .STL file ( It is from stl file and I read stl file from my matlab)... Fire up Qcad and open the exported file. In this example one small line was missing, so clean that up. now the tab size were 4mm thick so I had to reduce the size to 3mm, as I'm using 3mm acrylic for laser cutting.

StlCut uses plane to cut stl file and generates two new stl files. The hole made with cut is triangulated. Use with 2--manifold triangular models.

Ed Steinfeld is an expert on global innovation and how firms mobilize worldwide knowledge to create commercial value and promote technological leadership. By examining what firms achieve in different national settings, his students consider how contemporary technological advances such as data analytics, cognitive computing, and automation have influenced cross-border learning and innovation. They study how firm-level processes interact with societal institutions, governmental policies, and other 'non-market' forces.
Steinfeld is a highly accomplished scholar and educator who specializes in China's political economy and industrial development. He focuses on how the Chinese economy moved from socialist command planning to fostering rapid innovation and developing market-related capabilities. Steinfeld is on the Board of the National Committee on US-China Relations.
Steinfeld served as a consultant to the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation, and many multinational firms, government agencies, and NGOs. He is on the academic committee at the Center for Industrial Development and Environmental Governance at Tsinghua University, China. He published these books, Playing Our Game: Why China's Rise Doesn't Threaten the West, and Forging Reform in China: The Fate of State-Owned Industry, and numerous articles in academic and non-academic journals. Prior to Brown, he was at the Sloan School of Management and professor of political science at MIT.


Rather than taking a much-needed rest after finals this past semester, a group of committed students from the USF College of Public Health spent the beginning of winter break diving headfirst into the public health arena.
As part of this year's Public Health Live on Tour, students were able to escape the classroom setting and expand upon their public health knowledge by visiting several public health agencies and facilities in the Tampa area.
The tour included visits to Metropolitan Ministries, DACCO Behavioral Health, the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay and the Pinellas County Waste-to-Energy Facility.
As part of this year's Public Health Live on Tour, students were able to escape the classroom setting and expand upon their public health knowledge by visiting several public health agencies and facilities in the Tampa area. The tour included visits to Metropolitan Ministries, DACCO Behavioral Health, the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay and the Pinellas County Waste-to-Energy Facility.
Dr. Alison Oberne, a COPH alumna and instructor of the course, believes that the tour is a great complement to what students learn in class.
"By visiting these unique sites, I was able to take the education I received in the classroom and use it in the field," said Christiana Zimmer, a BSPH student with an interest and concentration in health education.
"Upon arrival to each site, we toured the facility, interacted with vulnerable populations, heard from public health professionals and engaged in interactive discussion," Zimmer said.
Brandon Von, a public health undergraduate senior at USF, noted how public health seemed to find the professionals who worked in the field—rather than the other way around.
This type of real-life experience helped students recognize issues that they may not have thought about in class and use what they learned in the classroom to brainstorm solutions to important public health problems.
The experience helped Von consider the role that proper teamwork plays in reaching many public health solutions.
"I believe that government, private organizations and [the general public] all need to work together to influence health care solutions and policy," Von said.
Overall, the experience was extremely important to the students who were involved, helping them to develop many professional qualities and inspiring them to move on to careers in public health after graduation.
"Above all, this course was an unforgettable opportunity that has fueled [my] passion for public health as I continue my education," Zimmer said.

Energy efficiency is one of the biggest benefits which LED high bay lights offer people and they also tend to consume smaller amounts of watts which help to lower electric bills. This is especially important when it comes to business and expense costs because these lights can save as much as 80% on electric bills. The best thing is that the money saved can be used for other costs to make things much easier on the business owner. Have a look around and see who is using these high bay lights so that you can see how they look and how they work and you can get information about them first hand.
You could say that LED high bay lights last practically a lifetime when compared to regular conventional lights. These lights depending on usage have also been known to even last for years. Therefore they save a lot of money on maintenance and replacement. Their durability is why they have become the lights of choice for many people. Another great thing about LED high bay lights is that they are resistant to breakage and damage and will withstand being dropped or bumped. That is very important especially if they are set up in high work areas.
Another great thing about LED high bay lights is that they won't heat up to very high temperatures. This is important for comfort because regular lights tend to heat up and then spread the heat all across the room making for very uncomfortable conditions. Therefore since LED high bay lights stay cool you don't have the need for turning your air conditioner up and you will find that this decreases the need for air conditioning by as much as 20% which gives you more opportunity for saving money.
Keep in mind that even though LED high bay light fixtures tend to cost a bit more in the long run they are worth it because they save you so much money on electricity, replacement and maintenance. Think of them as lights which are cost efficient and energy saving. Don't forget that these lights are also very durable and they don't easily break when you bump them or drop them. This is very important especially if you have them installed in a warehouse where they may come into contact with lifting equipment that can come in touch with them.
LED high bay lights make use of diodes instead of filaments which can be found in conventional lights and therefore they are the most long lasting and durable light fixtures on the market. They have the capability of looking great and burning bright even to the farthest corners which make them great for dark, high risk areas. So if you add up all the advantages which these high bay lights offer you will you can be sure that you have chosen the right lighting fixtures. Once you also start saving money on them you will be glad that you made the right choice.

Queen Victoria's Osborne House Is Now Letting Visitors See The Famous Royal Myrtle Plant
Royal brides have been using flowers from the myrtle plant in their bouquets since 1840.
By Rachel Swalin
Between Buckingham Palace and the Queen's preferred weekend home Windsor Castle, the royal family has enough stunning residences to leave you envious.
Osborne House, a favorite retreat of Queen Victoria back in the day, is no exception. Located on the Isle of Wright, the residence's sumptuous state rooms and gorgeous grounds continue to draw visitors to the property, and now you'll be able to experience a whole new side to the stunning home.
Thanks to an English Heritage restoration project, in the works since 1986, the lower terrace and gardens of Osborne House are officially on view to the public, reports the BBC.
One of Queen Victoria's beloved spots for writing, painting, or simply taking in all the surrounding natural beauty, it's also where you'll find quite possibly the most romantic shrubs in all the world: the royal myrtle plant.
Since Victoria's wedding in 1840, royal brides have been using myrtle sprigs from the shrubs in their bridal bouquets, including the Duchess of Cambridge, Princess Diana, and the reining Queen Elizabeth II. It's a tradition going back 177 years!
Now, you'll be able to see and smell Queen Victoria's famous flowering plant (just resist the urge to swipe some for yourself), originally a gift brought back from Germany.
Also restored to working order is the terrace's centerpiece, the "Andromeda" fountain, purchased by Queen Victoria during the Great Exhibition in 1851.
You'll also get the chance to sit and admire the opulent shell alcove (because who wouldn't want to lounge like a Queen?). Decorated with thousands of seashells from the residence's Osborne beach, the area has been re-painted to match its original blue, red, and turquoise hues.
Even the terrace walls have gotten a paint update to match the original Italian-inspired yellow, meant to resemble the Tuscan sun. No wonder Victoria's Husband Prince Albert would compare this beautiful residence to the Bay of Naples.
We can just see the Instagram photo-ops now.
