Fife hospital needs to clean up act
A SCOTS hospital which suffered a series of superbug related deaths has been slammed over its poor hygiene levels in a damning new report.
The Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline, Fife, was slated by inspectors for filthy bedding and dangerously filled bins in a dossier of shame first published today (mon).
The Healthcare Environment Inspectorate said it found that bins earmarked for sharp items had been filled with other waste items, while there were needles protruding from full bins.
During their check visit on January 13 and 14, they were alarmed to find that front line mattresses – including those in A&E – badly contaminated but marked cleaned for use.
"No excuse"
Staff at the disgraced Fife hospital were also discovered to have failed in their own hand-washing procedures and will now attend education classes to make sure that the mistakes aren't made again.
NHS Fife has vowed to clean up their act, saying that they have an improvement plan in place.
But Shadow Health Secretary Jackie Baillie said there was "no excuse" for the findings, adding that NHS Fife had "failed to learn" from the previous C. Diff outbreak.
In their report, the inspection team said were "particularly concerned" about the state of the bedding in the hospital.
They said that mattresses inspected in A&E were found to be particularly badly contaminated.
The report states: "In one instance, indicator tape used to identify items which are clean and ready to use, had been attached to a clearly degraded and cracked mattress cover and upon closer inspection the mattress was found to be heavily contaminated".
Susan Brimelow, HEI Chief Inspector, said that some "good work" had been observed at Queen Margaret.
But she said that there were particular areas of concern.
She added: "Inspectors also identified a number of concerns, including the need for more robust monitoring of cleaning and the need to ensure staff at every level adhere to the national hand washing and dress code policies."
Yesterday Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon said she expected the hospital to urgently improve standards.
She said: "The inspectors have found a number of areas in this hospital where I expect to see urgent action to improve standards and reduce infection risks for patients.
"There are also some examples of good practice for which I commend NHS Fife, but there needs to be a vigorous response to this report.
"NHS Fife has since published an improvement plan and they have given an assurance that all of the action areas identified in the report are being addressed.
"I expect them to make swift progress in implementing the plan and the inspectorate will monitor this through further planned and unannounced inspections.
"We need to ensure that we provide care of the highest quality and do all we can to protect patients from the risk of healthcare associated infections."
But Shadow Health Secretary Jackie Baillie said there was "no excuse".
She said: "This report raises serious concerns that NHS Fife has still failed to learn the lessons of recent outbreaks of C. difficile.
"There is simply no excuse for patients being given stained bed linen or contaminated mattresses.
"I want to see immediate action from the Scottish Government and the hospital authorities to address the issues raised by the inspectors.
"Patients should have an absolute right to be treated in clean and safe conditions."
A NHS Fife spokesman said: "We welcome the report from the HEI team following the recent announced visit to Queen Margaret Hospital.
"In particular we appreciate the positive comments made about standards and procedures identified in the report, this will be encouraging to staff who work hard to maintain a high level of service.
"We note the areas where improvement can be made and recognise that improvements can always be made in any process or service.
"We have in place an agreed action plan to take forward the recommendations made and, indeed, work has already commenced in all of them."
In 2008, 29 patients' deaths at Queen Margaret Hospital were linked to a C. diff outbreak.
In August that year, a ward was shut down after seven patients were diagnosed with the infection.
And two months later, in October, another ward was shut after four patients contracted the disease.

Bad Parents
2012 UR 1h 32m DVD
When a suburban mom enrolls her kid on a soccer team, she is thrust into a world of overzealous parents who take competition personally. The coach is as juvenile as the parents, and when the team gets a shot at the finals, the tantrums start to fly.

Common Sense rating OK for kids 17+
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Bad Parents is a dark satire about youth soccer that is not appropriate for kids. The story is told through the parents' perspectives, and uses frequent profanity (including "f--k"), sexually suggestive content (jokes about oral sex, cheating, cybersex references, and more), and mature themes to portray the overzealous pettiness of helicopter parents desperate to see their kids succeed in team sports at any cost. There is very little soccer actually played and kids are only peripherally present.
No sex is explicitly shown, but the movie contains frequent jokes, innuendo, and sexually suggestive content. In one scene, a woman says she'd rather her husband come home from his lover than his soccer buddies. A man tries to initiate intercourse but is rebuffed. A woman watches a television talk show about women in the porn industry. A woman makes a joke about performing oral sex on her husband before showing him the $900 handbag she bought. A woman appears to become extremely aroused by listening to a man speak with a British accent speak by phone while eating a banana, then lights a cigarette afterwards. A soccer mom and coach are shown embracing as if having an affair. A woman decides to have cybersex, and her computer screen depicts an instant messaging conversation with explicit descriptions of her clothing and arousal. A woman shows up at the soccer coach's office wearing only a fur coat and opens her coat, shown from behind.
In the opening and closing scenes, a man is shown lying on the grown, dead, with a flag stuck into his chest, but there is no blood shown.
Frequent use of profanity ranging from f-bombs to milder profanity such as "ass" and "s--t." Elsewhere, demeaning or insulting language is recurring, from expressions such as "You don't have the balls," "douchebag," "bitch," and insults regarding appearance and ability. Some off-color language as well, such as when a man uses the expression "he was just raping the Street" to describe someone making money hand over fist on Wall Street. A man who isn't good at sports is called a "male flight attendant."
Bad Parents is a dark satire with extremely negative messages about the pettiness of helicopter parents, who gossip, insult each other, have affairs, and back-stab to get their kids into the "A team" in club soccer.
Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
Occasional scenes of adults drinking beer or wine responsibly at gatherings; however, one adult character is shown multiple times giving slurred rants after drinking.
Not an issue
Depends on your child and your family
Parents strongly cautioned
Not appropriate for kids of the age

Gareth Bale wants Ballon d'Or at Real Madrid now he's centre stage – agent
• Jonathan Barnett says he never discussed Manchester United move with Bale
• 'He's so happy at Real Madrid now he's getting freedom he has for Wales'

Gareth Bale felt frustrated having to play wide on the right for Real Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti and is happier now he is being deployed in a central role, according to the Welshman's agent.
Gareth Bale will be stronger for his Real experiences, says Wales manager
Having helped Real win the Champions League at the end of his first season there, Bale endured a difficult second campaign, finding himself booed by the some of the Bernabéu faithful at stages. As a result there was speculation he would return to England, with Manchester United a known admirer of the 26-year-old. But, according to Jonathan Barnett, Bale is far more content in Spain under Rafael Benítez, who replaced Ancelotti prior to the start of the season, and wants to stay at the club and achieve his ambition of winning the Ballon d'Or.
"Real is the best club in the world and they bought him," said Barnett at the Soccerex conference in Manchester on Tuesday. "He wants to do well. He badly wants to see Real Madrid and himself achieve certain targets, which he has always wanted ever since we first got together.
"One of those is to win the Ballon d'Or and he's got the best chance in the world playing at Real Madrid. He wants to win everything and he's very hungry to win everything. He hasn't won the Spanish League yet [either] and tatistics prove that if you play for Real Madrid or Barcelona then you have a better chance of winning the Ballon d'Or.
"If you know Real Madrid you know how great it is there. I have players all round the world and I don't think there's another club like it. It's hard to put your finger on it. I can't say it's one particular thing that is fantastic there."
Asked if Bale has a desire to return to the Premier League, where he played at Tottenham for six years, Barnett replied: "No. Everyone covets him. If you were a German reporter you would be asking me: 'Is he going to come to Bayern Munich?' And if you were an Italian reporter you would ask me if he would ever come to Juventus. The same if you are an English reporter and you would ask if he would ever come to Man Utd. We haven't even talked about it [a move to United]. He is so happy with Real Madrid."
Following the abuse Bale received from Real fans last season, Barnett had publicly criticised the player's team-mates, claiming they did not pass the ball enough to him. "I said a few things and got criticised by Ancelotti. I think things will change," added the agent with regard to Bale's switch in position. "If you look at it now, he is not playing wide right. He is playing more central. And I think that is going to suit him more. More like the freedom he has for Wales.
"Rafa's going to give him that. And as long as he scores the goals and the team does well, it is easier to accept. And he enjoys that [role] because he was getting a little frustrated. If you look at the statistics he didn't get the ball that much. And when he did get it, it was slow."
Gareth Bale: Bernabéu booing not as deafening as debate that has followed | Sid Lowe
Of the disquiet Bale drew from Real fans, Barnett added: "That was a shame. They love [Cristiano] Ronaldo. If you watch the way Real Madrid play this season you'll see a shift. If he can get to where he thinks he wants to be then they will love him. If he scores 40-50 goals like Ronaldo does then everyone will love him. That's the truth. Ronaldo scores a lot of goals."
Barnett believes it should not be a choice between Bale or Ronaldo. "It's only one little section [of Real fans] and I don't understand that myself," he said, before stating the two players have a good relationship. "There's no tension there at all."
Bale has been the driving force in Wales's excellent Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, with Chris Coleman's men requiring just one point from their final two group matches to qualify for next summer's finals. "It's an obsession [for Bale]," said Barnett. "He loves playing for Wales more than anything in the world.
"I'll tell you it has cost him millions and millions of pounds. You can imagine what it would be like if he was playing for England next summer. But playing on the international stage is so important if you want to win the Ballon d'Or. And to get to a major championship will be memorable."


Emily Robertson was born and raised in Southeast Louisiana and has been involved with non-profit organizations and community outreach programs from a young age. Her work with Amnesty International and The National Organization for Women earned her a leadership scholarship from Louisiana State University. There she continued her efforts in a leadership role training and recruiting members and running a local chapter of both organizations. This year she will be with LearnToLive on the ground in Indonesia for the first clinic to help facilitate the program and make it the best it can be. She enthusiastically looks forward to helping LTL bring healthcare to those in Indonesia and beyond.
"When I met Yanti Turang in 2011 through an old highschool friend, I had no idea that she would put together the most fascinating and fulfilling experience I had since been a part of. I overheard her at lunch talking about travelling to Asia, and interrupted to have her tell me what she knew about the area. I had been wanting to travel, and and LearnToLive gave me the perfect excuse, albeit with a more altruistic motive.
After many months of working with the core team in New Orleans towards LearnToLive's first health initiative in Indonesia, I was finally meeting up with Yanti and the team in North Sulawesi. When I met Yanti for our flight to Manado, I had no idea what to expect. I had been travelling in Indonesia when we met up, and with a few weeks of experience in the country I felt like I had a vague grasp of the culture, but I understood that we would basically be in an unpredictable situation, and have to be extremely adaptable to make our clinics successful. Yanti had hand picked an unbelievable team of volunteers with hearts of gold and the ability to roll with the punches. Before I knew it, things started falling into place, all in good time, just like Yanti assured me they would. The ability to just let things happen and have faith that they will come together in their own way, on their own terms, along with the belief that we can do great things while having very little to work with, is a perspective I needed to learn and I am thankful Indonesia showed it to me.


I've been joking with colleagues that the highlight of this week's New England Direct Marketing Association (NEDMA) conference in Cambridge, MA was that I didn't hit a bicyclist as I drove to the meeting, but perhaps that's better described as a small miracle with all the cyclists out enjoying the fall weather. My colleague Hank Andersen and I agree that the true highlight of the conference was the content of the presentations and the comradery of the attendees. I wanted to briefly recap this excellent event for those who couldn't attend.
As always when I hear John Sisson speak, I learned a lot. He started the "Digital" session with a personal story about his 15-year old daughter getting really excited about receiving a letter in the mail. Dad was not so excited when he realized it was a credit card offer. John got the audience's attention when he demonstrated how to do Augmented Reality right by showing how IKEA makes great use of the tool to integrate print with the online channel.
My session on "Design" was next so I stood between the audience and lunch. My 45 minutes flew by with lots of great questions and observations from the audience. There were also a few "lessons learned" anecdotes about making sure that an envelope designed to stand out in the mailbox meets USPS automation requirements. This ensures that the postal invoice doesn't include any unpleasant surprises when it arrives in the marketer's inbox.
Speaking of postal, "Delivery" was delivered by Pat Ring, Associate Director, Mail Services for Boston University and Jerry Kelley, Supervisor of Business Mail Entry, USPS, who represent the greatest knowledge of postal regulations and requirements in New England. Jerry provided handouts with great information about Mailpiece Design Analyst (MDA) Customer Service Help Desk Enhancements. His handout of Folded Self-Mailer reference material included both general standards and a decision tree design matrix. I had no idea there was such a tool and am glad that we are putting so much energy into ensuring that our Account Managers are certified as Mailpiece Design Professionals who know all about the decision tree.
Kerry Hannify, Director of Quality and Operational Initiatives at Data-Mail, Inc., did an energetic, informative, and entertaining session on "Due Diligence." While the title may seem dry, Kerry made it come alive with great insight into mail tracking. She also had some great stories about mail gone missing and the tools that now exist to find it quickly when mail has been entered but the delivery scans are missing.

The PCB is relatively devoid of components when compared to today's high-end video cards, and the GPU, which is built on a. So cards will be branded as "Supporting MB", regardless of how much local memory is installed. Peak fill rate in TC is megapixels, while local memory bandwidth is more than twice as low without taking into account potentially reduced caches and two-channel memory controller. They will be distinguishable however, by the total amount of peak bandwidth offered up by the different configurations. Half-Life2, ixbt02 Test results: Besides, as you can see, TurboCache was of little help to these cards.
I mean the substrate, not the dye itself, which has also grown less though that's clear, the number of pipelines is two times less.
Test results Before giving a brief evaluation nvidia geforce 6200 tc 2D, I will repeat that at present there is NO 6200 method for objective gefodce of geforve parameter due to the following reasons: GeForce TurboCache cards only have a very small by modern standards amount of memory, but attempt to make up for this by using system memory accessed through the PCI-Express bus. To all appearances, vertex and pixel processors in NV44 remained the same, not to take into account declared revisions to achieve effective system memory addressing from texturing and blending units.
Half-Life2, ixbt01 Test results: In case nvidia geforce 6200 tc such architecture everything falls to its place. The cooling system is primitive: As of Nvidia ForceWare drivers The clock frequency is high, and, nvidia geforce 6200 tc from the technology, it can still be raised much higher in future — the only bottleneck is memory.
Considerations about nvidia geforce 6200 tc and gecorce has been cut down Obviously, even taking into account that system memory is used via PCI Express, all TC models will suffer the insufficient memory bandwidth in the first place, both system and local.
Half-Life2, ixbt03 The same picture. ATI, initially a critic of 62000 bridge chip, eventually designed a similar mechanism for their own cards.
Nvidia geforce 6200 tc TC – A lovely marketing word, but what is it exactly?
The prolonged public silence of Nvidia geforce 6200 tc, after promising updated drivers, and test benchmarks gathered by users led the user community to conclude that the WMV9 decoder component of the AGP 's PureVideo unit is either non-functional or intentionally disabled.
At introduction, the family was nvidia geforce 6200 tc available in PCI Express form. GeForce 8 9 Contents Video card's features Testbed configurations, jvidia, 2D quality Test results: But one thing we can say for sure — everything will be actually up to the price and applications popular among users. The rejects were factory-modified to disable four pixel pipelines, thereby converting the native product into a product.
It's nvidia geforce 6200 tc to judge nvdia justified 64 and even bit memory buses are — on the one hand, this move cuts the price of the chip package and reduces the number of rejected chips; on the other hand, the price difference between PCBs for 64 and bit is still geforxe than for and ! Personally, I am perplexed why such a primitive card nviddia two memory chips has such a complex PCB.
Let's tcc a look at the dictionary: Simply, to control costs as the standard was too expensive for a low budget product. So, I have a lot of questions left unanswered after I examined the design of this card.

All necessary things to support Pixel and Vertex Shaders 3. TurboCache is helpful, but it's not a cure-all. After months, or even years in development, the technology introduced in flagship GPUs, nvidia geforce 6200 tc the GeForce for example, is leveraged and eventually scaled down to bring out a product with essentially the same feature set at a much more nvidia geforce 6200 tc price point.

I don't have enough money to advertise. Everyone calls him Jeff. Divide these apples between you three. I'd like to see you when you are free. My grandmother is afraid to fall. That kind of talk will get you nowhere. We hurried down the stairs. I think you've been lying to me. You've been stealing from me. I'm glad my cold is better.

Let's go and talk to her. Mick pulled Tolerant out of the quicksand. Lindsay goaded Dustin to the garage. He paid his dues for what he is now. Manjeri didn't say much more. Can I speak to Cristopher alone, please? I'm seeing you in a new light. If it were not for exams, we would be happy. My mother is on a banana diet. Please get me out of here.
She asked me to take care of the boy when she's away. He said that he would be elected and that he would become governor. Are you bored? Golf is now within the reach of everyone. Tell me about what you did today. It was exhilarating. I don't take things for granted. Ravi wouldn't let Peggy quit. Not everybody can be an artist. I can't find my notebook here; I must have put it elsewhere.
In Japan you can always catch a cab, day or night. I told you it would be a waste of time asking Stephanie to help. He is beyond doubt the best athlete in our school. I won't come late again. She wanted me to lie. I can't wait to be with you. I'm really not all that hungry. The story got more and more exciting. Maybe you'd like to drink some tea? I should clean my room.

Save Our Public Healthcare: West Coast Members of Parliament
Eliot Pryor
To whoever wants to win our vote in 2017,
We call on you to restore at least $1.85 billion in Government funding to our public healthcare system.
We also seek your commitment to ensuring future annual health budgets cover:
- provision for new treatments
- population growth
- demographic changes
- inflation

"It's very dangerous. If this continues we will slide into an American-style healthcare system." - Phil Bagshaw (Canterbury Charity Hospital founder and editorial co-author of the report: Funding New Zealand's healthcare system).
We all want our friends and family to be happy and in good health. When illness or accidents happen, we want to know they can get the healthcare they need, when they need it.
But the government has been underfunding our public healthcare system for almost a decade, putting good health and peace of mind out of reach for hundreds of thousands of people.
Today, our Health Budget is missing $1.85 billion in vital funds. [1] These are not just numbers on a spreadsheet. Each funding cut represents a person who might not receive a hip operation, cancer screening, counselling service or hospital bed because they can't be funded.
* One in nine Kiwis are not getting the GP care they need because they cannot afford it. [2]
* There has been an almost 300 percent increase in crisis mental health referrals over the past five years and mental health workers are struggling to cope. [3]
* $1.85 billion is the increase in funding required to restore our overall health budget to the same proportion of the economy (GDP) as it was in the year to June 2010 when the underfunding crisis began.
The Government could afford to fund our healthcare system properly. They choose not to. In fact, the reported government surplus is almost exactly the same amount as the amount of underfunding.
Please take action today and sign your name. Together we can ensure Aotearoa New Zealand has a public health care system we can all be proud of.

Longrow, the distillation of which is handled by Springbank, gets in on the wood experimentation series. This one spent 8 years in ex-bourbon barrels followed by two years in ex-Tokaji wine barrels.

"A very challenging, divisive whisky that people love or hate. It doesn't work for me. Nose of over-ripe figs, cough syrup, heavy chocolate, coffee, and berries. Something very funky in the taste, like rotten fruit mixed with leather, chocolate, figs, toffee, and a sprinkle of white pepper. But these familiar flavors combine into something really odd and not altogether pleasant."


The skill sets involved in travel blogging and running a success travel business are akin to those required to run many small businesses. In the beginning, you are everything to everyone, and it's a precarious balance of being a travel writer, researcher, website designer, site manager, tech support, salesperson, public relations manager, accountant, research and development manager, and janitor. Managing these demands is a daunting proposition. Managing these demands, while growing a business and taking on new projects, is where entrepreneurial bloggers really show their professional chops.
In spring of 2012 I took on a new project. I accepted the position of Conference Director for TBEX (Travel Blog Exchange), the world's largest conference for travel bloggers and new media content creators. I saw the opportunity as a chance to put some of my skills to work on a project that I'm passionate about – continuing education and connecting people. The mission of TBEX is to help travel bloggers advance their careers as professional travel media through education and networking with DMO's and travel industry professionals – how wonderful to be involved with something like that?!
Taking on the job of Conference Direction was a chance to learn new skills related to event planning and marketing as well as a chance to develop deeper relationships within the travel industry. It's an opportunity to meet and network within the wonderful travel and travel blogging community.
TBEX is now owned by NMX (formerly BlogWorld) and holds its conferences in locations around the world. The conference gives destinations an opportunity to strut their stuff for hundreds of visiting travel bloggers, and provides an opportunity for extensive digital and traditional coverage far beyond what could be accomplished in a press trip or visit. The bloggers are provided with educational and networking activities in addition to time visiting and learning about a destination that otherwise might not be on their to-visit list. Speed dating and other marketplace events round out the conference, connecting the industry with travel bloggers for a big win-win event.
TBEX 2012, this year's North America event, was held in Keystone, Colorado, on June 16-17th, and was hailed as a turning point for TBEX. Registration for the event was well over 700, representing a combination of travel bloggers and writers, destinations, brands, and PR representatives. The event was a huge success, and while I may be a little biased, you don't need to take my word about it, just read what others have to say about TBEX 2012.
After our successful debut in Keystone, we headed to Girona, Spain, for TBEX Europe (opening night party at St. Gregory's Castle is in photo above). Registrations were over 350 people, including a good mix of attendees from Europe and North America. There was plenty of buzz about this event as well.
ITB Berlin, March 6-10, 2012. TBEX will be organizing and presenting a speed dating event at ITB Berlin 2013. ITB Berlin is the world's largest travel trade show and this presents a challenging opportunity to connect travel bloggers with thousands of representatives in the travel industry. If you were wondering if travel blogging is legitimate travel coverage, this should remove any lingering doubt. Travel bloggers are a vital part of planning for destination coverage and publicity.
TBEX 2013. Our flagship North America event will be held June 1-2, 2013 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I'm looking forward to developing successful relationships with our Toronto and Canadian tourism partners for what is predicted to be 1,000 attendees.
TBEX Europe 2013. The luck of the Irish will be with us as we head to Dublin for TBEX Europe. The dates have not yet been announced, but it will be in October 2013.
Destinations and brands that are interested in partnering with smart, hard working, and respected travel bloggers who have the ability to connect and influence, will want to be at TBEX. If that's what you need for your next campaign, or perhaps you ust want to talk about possibilities, get in touch and let's get to work.

Q: How to find the errors on fitting parameters during optimization I am faced with a complex physical model involving five fitting parameters. I wrote a program from the mathematical model in Matlab that fits my experimental data. The optimization function I use is Fminsearch. It takes time, but fits pretty well. Now, my question is, how can I find the errors on my five fitting parameters given that my model is non-linear?
I found out that I could use the Monte Carlo method, but I am completely new to it.
My code:
%experimental data 36 by 1 matrix
yexpt = xlsread("measurements work\T1 Relaxivity TH_EX mu 37°C.xlsx",'try','C3:C38');
xdata = xlsread("measurements work\T1 Relaxivity TH_EX mu 37°C.xlsx",'try','A3:A38');

%Initial guess
mu_SPM = 4.42e-20;
tau_N = 1.25e-9;
tau_D = 3.16e-9;
P = 0.326;
K = 10;

x0 = [mu_SPM;tau_N;tau_D;P;K];

%objective function is simply the sum of the squared difference between
%yexpt and theory

fun = @(x)objective(x,xdata,yexpt);

%built-in matlab optimizer minimizes values from objective function and
%takes the best minimizer

%a problem arise with fminunc, it displays initial guess after optimization
%x = fminunc(fun,x0);

[x,fval,exitflag] = fminsearch(fun,x0);

%optimised parameters

mu_SPM = x(1);
tau_N = x(2);
tau_D = x(3);
P = x(4) ;
K = x(5);

disp(['mu_SPM: ' num2str(mu_SPM)])
disp(['tau_N: ' num2str(tau_N)])
disp(['tau_D: ' num2str(tau_D)])
disp(['P: ' num2str(P)])
disp(['K: ' num2str(K)])

%numerical model uses above minimized parameters
%bestx = [mu_SPM;tau_N;tau_D;P;K];

%value of magnetic field used by the numerical model 36 by 1 matrix
B0 = xlsread("measurements work\T1 Relaxivity TH_EX mu 37°C.xlsx",'try','B3:B38');

%Variables used by model
gy_p= 2.67522e8;

end

for i=1:length(omega_P)

    OMEGA_P(i)= (tau_D/tau_N) + (omega_P(i)*tau_D)*1j;

    J_freedP(i)= real((1+(1/4)*sqrt(OMEGA_P(i)))/(1+sqrt(OMEGA_P(i))+(4/9)*OMEGA_P(i)+(1/9)*OMEGA_P(i).^1.5));

    OMEGA_PA(i)= sqrt(2*omega_P(i)*tau_D);

   J_Ayant(i)= (1+(5/8)*OMEGA_PA(i)+(1/8)*OMEGA_PA(i).^2)/(1+OMEGA_PA(i)+(1/2)*OMEGA_PA(i).^2+(1/6)*OMEGA_PA(i).^3+(4/81)*OMEGA_PA(i).^4+(1/81)*OMEGA_PA(i).^5+(1/648)*OMEGA_PA(i).^6);

Why Do Cats Like To Sleep With Their Owners? The Facts.
Why Do Cats Like To Sleep With Their Owners?
If you are a cat owner you may have noticed that your cat prefers to sleep in your bed rather than their own. In fact, it's not that uncommon for them to completely ditch their own bed and spend as much time as possible sleeping with you. In this article we answer the questions Why Do Cats Like To Sleep With Their Owners?
Cats are very vulnerable when they are sleeping and like to find a place, or person, that they trust to sleep on. When they sleep with their owner they are confirming to you that they trust you.
While your cat does trust you they also want to keep warm and they love the heat from their humans. They also love your duvet and blanket that provide extra warmth. Your cat loves that you are a human hot water bottle for them.
There is no doubt that your cat loves you and wants to spend time with you, but they also want to tell you they love you by spending time with you. Cats don't like to be alone – despite what people think about cats being independent.
Why Do Cats Sleep On Your Head?
Have you ever had an older relative tell you to put a hat on to keep warm? Well, there is a reason for that! You lose a lot of heat from your head. So, it makes sense that your cat would want to be where all the heat is.
It's also the safest place for a cat to be as your head moves the least amount during the night. Whereas your arms and legs tend to be the most active during the night and potentially the most likely to disturb them.
A warm safe place is a perfect spot for your cat to feel relaxed and comforted.
It's a very personal choice whether you want your cat to sleep in your bed. Some people hate the idea and others wouldn't have it any other way.
There are pros and cons to both, so it's important to consider either side and see which option suits you and your cat best.
Warm and Cosy – Both you and your cat will benefit from the heat of sharing a bed. There is nothing cosier than a cat snuggling with you at night.
Stress Relief – When you have had a stressful day there is nothing more relaxing than snuggling into bed with your cat and a good book or a movie. All animals are a great stress relief.
Bond with your cat – The more time you spend with your cat the greater the bond you will have with them. Cats are very loyal animals and will soon become your best friend. People tend to assume that cats are independent and don't need a lot of time and attention, however, they can be just as loyal to their owners as a dog.
Dirty Feet – Cats are outside a lot of the time and can bring in all sorts of mud and dirt on their paws. They also will either be toileting outside or using a litter tray and could transfer some of this dirt onto your bed.
Cats don't sleep through the night – Most cats like to be active at night as they spend a lot of the day sleeping. This means that you could experience a disturbed night of sleep.
Allergies – You may find that pet hair in your bed causes you to suffer from allergies. People can develop an allergy to pets that they never had before if they spend a lot of time in close contact with them.
Do you let your cat sleep in your bed? Let us know in the comments below.


BRUSSELS: BMW, and Volkswagen face possible hefty fines after EU antitrust regulators on Friday charged the German carmakers and whistleblower Daimler with colluding to block the rollout of clean emissions technology.
EU fines could go as high as 10 percent of a company's global turnover. Volkswagen shares were trading down 0.8 percent in late session trading, Daimler was 0.6 percent lower, while BMW was up 0.8 percent in a flat European auto index.
The post Carmakers charged with blocking clean emissions technology appeared first on ARYNEWS.


Monitoring and control of greenhouse environment play an important role in greenhouse production and management. To monitor the greenhouse environment parameters effectively, it is necessary to design a measurement and control system. The objective of this project is to design a simple, easy to install, microcontroller-based circuit to monitor and record the values of temperature, humidity, soil moisture and sunlight of the natural environment that are continuously modified and controlled in order optimize them to achieve maximum plant growth and yield. The controller used is a low power, cost efficient chip manufactured by ATMEL having 8K bytes of on-chip flash memory. It communicates with the various sensor modules in real-time in order to control the light, aeration and drainage process efficiently inside a greenhouse by actuating a cooler, fogger, dripper and lights respectively according to the necessary condition of the crops. An integrated Liquid crystal display (LCD) is also used for real time display of data acquired from the various sensors and the status of the various devices. Also, the use of easily available components reduces the manufacturing and maintenance costs. The design is quite flexible as the software can be changed any time. It can thus be tailor-made to the specific requirements of the user. This makes the proposed system to be an economical, portable and a low maintenance solution for greenhouse applications, especially in rural areas and for small scale agriculturists.

Stamford Healthcare System (SHCS) is proud to offer state of the art imaging services. In addition to digital x-ray services, SHCS offers computed tomography (CT),and ultrasound.
Imaging / Radiology services are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
CT scans or CAT scans have become an important diagnostic tool. In a CT scan the x-ray source rotates around the patient while detectors record how much radiation is passed through the specific are to be imaged. This data is used to form a cross sectional image or a "slice". This data can also be used to form three-dimensional models of the body part.
Ultrasounds use high frequency sound waves to create an image. An ultrasound does not use ionizing radiation to produce images so there are no documented risks involved.

Stall Catchers
Stall Catchers for Android
By Game Solutions Lab Free
By Game Solutions Lab
Stall Catchers is an online game that anyone can play - no experience necessary. In the game, you look at movies from the brains of mice and try to identify vessels as flowing or stalled. This helps to speed up Alzheimer's disease research at Cornell University.
Stall Catchers is part of the EyesOnALZ project. The game was built on one of the oldest volunteer thinking projects: stardust@home, and is using the Virtual Microscope developed by their team. Who knew stardust and blood vessels could be so similar?
Currently, our catchers range from 6 to 88 years old. A large part of our community includes middle school students, seniors, caregivers and Alzheimers patients themselves.
The game is easy to grasp, and we walk you through in the beginning. Check out the 'How to' section in the main menu if you need help at any time. Don't worry about making mistakes - each blood vessel is analysed by multiple catchers, and we ensure we generate reliable crowd answers in the end.
EyesOnALZ is a citizen science project developed by the Human Computation Institute. The project enables everyone to contribute to Alzheimers disease research and speed up the search for a treatment. Our first citizen science game - Stall Catchers - was launched in October 2016 and now gathers thousands of volunteers.
The idea was born in 2015, when by a lucky coincidence, Pietro Michelucci met Chris Schaffer, whose lab was in need of citizen scientists help. The project was funded by the BrightFocus Foundation and officially began in early 2016.
EyesOnALZ includes collaborators from the Schaffer-Nishimura Lab at Cornell University, stardust@home team at U.C. Berkeley and SciStarter.com. Previous collaborators include Sebastian Seungs Laboratory at Princeton University, WiredDifferently and others.
EyesOnALZ and Stall Catchers are being developed by the Human Computation Institute, and supported by a team of collaborators, advisors and volunteers from Cornell University, UC Berkeley, SciStarter, and elsewhere worldwide.
The EyesOnALZ Android app is being developed for Human Computation Institute in partnership with Games For Health Europe by Game Solutions Lab.
EyesOnALZ is supported by the BrightFocus foundation and its generous donors. Learn more about their Alzheimer's Disease Research Program.

H.	We are not obligated to act on any claim until transportation charges have been paid and the account is in good standing. Good standing means the open or unpaid invoices of the account are within credit terms. The claim amount may not be deducted from these charges or from any outstanding balance owed to us.

All of the original shipping cartons, packing and contents must be made available for our inspection and retained until the claim is concluded.
J.	Receipt of the shipment by the recipient without written notice of damage on whatever paper is used as a delivery receipt is prima facie evidence and serves as non-rebuttable presumption of proof that the shipment was delivered in good condition.

N. Where shipments have declared values, Cargo Services Express's liability for shortage or damage shall be prorated by weight when part of a shipment is lost or damaged. Cargo Services Express's liability shall be determined by multiplying the weight of the lost or damaged article by fifty cents ($.50) per pound. All damage claims shall be notified in writing within ninety (90) calendar days or shall be barred. If payment from Cargo Services Express, Inc. has not been tendered to Claimant after a claim has been filed, and an action has not filed with in a Miami-Dade Courthouse within nine (9) months of the delivery date or contracted delivery date if a non-delivery the Claim shall be barred. The parties agree that claims will be presented and adjusted in accordance with the guidelines established by the Interstate Commerce Commission and successor agencies and set forth at 49CFR1005. ICC Administrative Rulings 65 and 128 shall apply. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the maximum liability for shortage or physical damage shall be fifty cents ($.50) per pound not to exceed $1000.00. If the declared value of the shipment shown on the Customer's bill of lading and shipment alert exceeds fifty cents ($0.50) per pound, an insurance surcharge of sixty-five cents ($0.65) per One Hundred Dollars ($100.00), or portion thereof, excess value shall be assessed and paid for.

Customer understands and agrees that the rates do not include insurance or other compensation for loss other than as expressly provided herein and limited hereby. Accordingly, Customer agrees that in the event it desires coverage for loss, it will obtain insurance, and that said will contain a waiver of subrogation clause waiving any subrogation rights to and on behalf of such insurance carrier.

Cargo Services Express shall not be liable for damage caused by force majeure, Act of God, or the inherent vice of the shipment. Temperature controlled service is not provided.
O.	Requests for research or refunds of payment must be received within 30 days from date of payment.
P.	Receipt of the shipment by the recipient without written notice of damage on the delivery receipt at time of delivery by recipient is prima facie evidence and establishes non-rebuttable presumption that the shipment was delivered in good condition. Our liability for any loss or damage will not exceed the actual amount of the damage or the declared-value amount, whichever is less.
Q.	Any effort to declare a value in excess of the maximums allowed in the Agreement is null and void. Our acceptance for carriage of any shipment bearing a declared value in excess of the allowed maximums does not constitute a waiver of any provision of the Agreement as to such shipment.
R.

Fiction & Non-Fiction - English
Cuckold narrates the captivating story of a Rajput Prince who has to fight for what is his right in Mewar. While the book describes the political turmoil he faces, it also sheds light on his personal life. His wife, the well-known Mira Bai, believes she is married to Lord Krishna and refuses to accept him as her husband. Cuckold, written by Kiran Nagarkar, offers a moving and authoritative read.
Cuckold is the story of the Rajput prince, Maharaj Kumar, the husband of Mira Bai. The Prince calls himself a cuckold because he discovers that his wife is irrevocably in love with the Lord Krishna. Maharaj Kumar aches for her love and is left unfulfilled due to Mira's devotion to the Hindu deity. This fictional tale then whirls around the tangled web of politics - vicious battles are fought within the Kingdom to decide on the deserving heir after the King's death, although the Rajput Kingdom is at the peak of its power. The Prince prepares himself for the battle by planning his strike and defence well in advance. Cuckold weaves history, politics, romantic desire, epics and mysticism together to offer a riveting read. Readers are introduced to the Rajput community's way of living and their system of valour, sacrifice and honour. The book won Nagarkar the prestigious Sahitya Akademi Award in the year 2000, and has been translated to several other languages.

Some species of predatory aquatic bugs (Nepoidea, including Belostomatidae and Nepidae) are designated as threatened-vulnerable species in the Red Data Book of Japan and are regarded as effective predators of freshwater snails and mosquito larvae. To reveal the feeding habits of Nepoidea, we investigated their dietary items in wetlands and obtained data from the published literature. Lethocerus deyrolli (Vuillefroy) preys mainly upon frogs, and the major diet of the nymphs is tadpoles. Laccotrephes japonensis (Scott) adults prey mainly upon tadpoles. Lethocerus deyrolli nymphs and L. japonensis adults compete against each other as same-guild members because they are sympatric in wetlands. Both nymphs and adults of Appasus japonicus (Vuillefroy) feed on snails, and L. japonensis nymphs feed on aquatic insects, including mosquito larvae (39.3% of aquatic insects). These species are effective predators of medically important pests such as snails, and mosquito larvae.
