Freund announces departure as Syracuse University's vice chancellor and provost
Friday, May 19, 2006, By News Staff
Freund announces departure as Syracuse University's vice chancellor and provostMay 19, 2006Kevin Morrowkdmorrow@syr.edu
Deborah A. Freund, Syracuse University's vice chancellor and provost since 1999, today announced that she will leave her current position at the University, effective June 30, 2006, to pursue new academic and professional opportunities.
"I have had seven glorious years as vice chancellor and love SU with all my heart. For some time I have been thinking about exploring new challenges and believe the time is right for me to take on a leadership position at a major university. In fact, I am in serious discussions with several such institutions about potential leadership opportunities, although I have received no official offers," Freund says. "Of course, none of this would have been possible without the substantial things we have accomplished here together. For that I am deeply grateful to all with whom I have had the great fortune of working, including our trustees, Chancellors Cantor and Shaw, faculty, staff, students and community members. It is now time to take the next step in my academic career and let another individual enjoy the great privilege I've had serving this wonderful institution."
In addition to her role as SU's chief academic officer, Freund, 53, is Distinguished Professor of Public Administration and Economics in SU's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and adjunct professor of orthopedics at SUNY Upstate Medical University. Upon stepping down as vice chancellor and provost, Freund is currently planning to return to her Distinguished Professorship at the Maxwell School and also do research at Harvard Medical School.
"For the past seven years, Debbie has made an extraordinary commitment to Syracuse University and put all of her energies into bolstering the University's commitment to academic excellence," Chancellor Cantor says. "She has recruited and selected outstanding deans, seeded important interdisciplinary programs, and demonstrated Syracuse University's overall commitment to building a diverse community and challenging and retaining our students.
"We are all proud and delighted that Debbie is taking the next step in her academic and professional career and that she will be seizing new and exciting leadership opportunities in the months ahead," Cantor adds.
In one of her major accomplishments at the University, Freund spearheaded the development of a new academic plan–introduced in spring 2001–intended to secure the foundation of SU's student-centered research mission and establish "signature" experiences that distinguish a Syracuse education. Central to the plan have been strategic research partnerships in the areas of information management and technology; environmental systems and quality; collaborative design; and citizenship and social transformation; along with a concerted effort to strengthen four of the University's already-existing signature areas? theory and practice integration, international field study, diversity and writing.
Freund also led the process that developed an academic space plan in support of the academic plan. Approved by SU's Board of Trustees in fall 2002, the academic space plan has involved a major institutional investment?made through bonding and fundraising–in new and renovated facilities, including construction of a new building for the Martin J. Whitman School of Management (opened in January 2005), a third building for the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications (Newhouse III, to open in August 2007), a new, 210,000 square-foot Life Sciences Complex (to open in fall 2008), and the complete renovation of Slocum Hall for the School of Architecture.
A visiting scholar at Stanford, Harvard, Australian National and Keio universities, Freund is an internationally recognized health economist, known for research on Medicaid, health care outcomes and pharmacoeconomics. She has published widely and has been the principal investigator of many grants and contracts from the federal government and private foundations. She has testified as an expert before Congress and consulted for state governments and international pharmaceutical companies.
Freund came to SU in 1999 from Indiana University-Bloomington, where she had served as vice chancellor for academic affairs and dean of the faculties from 1994-99; associate dean for academic affairs in the IU School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) from 1992-94; chair of the SPEA health sciences and administration faculty from 1988-92; and director of the IU School of Medicine's Bowen Research Center from 1989-99.Prior to that, she was on the faculty of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and was director of the Program on Health Economics and Finance and the Clinical Economics Training Program.
She received an A.B. degree in classics from Washington University in St. Louis in 1973, as well as an M.P.H. degree in medical care administration in 1975, an M.A. degree in applied economics in 1975 and a Ph.D. in economics in 1980, all from the University of Michigan. Freund was awarded the Drotman Prize from the American Public Health Association in 1981 and the Kershaw Prize from the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management in 1991.
She has sat on the governing boards of Health Research and Education Trust, The Lifetime Health Care Companies, the National Association of College and University Business Officers and the National Women's Hall of Fame.

Burgess Sensitive Adult Dog Food (Lamb & Rice) is ideal for dogs with delicate digestion.
It's packed with protein and amino acids for muscle development and growth, and crunchy cooked rice boosts energy and aids a healthy digestion, Like all Burgess Adult recipes, Burgess Sensitive has been carefully tested at independent kennels.
Burgess Sensitive Lamb & Rice is the perfect food for dogs with sensitive stomachs at a price owners will love.
Lamb meal (min 26%), rice (min 26%), sugar beet pulp, animal fat, dicalcium phosphate, calcium carbonate. Contains natural anti-oxidants.
My dogs have sensitive stomachs and are also fussy eaters but they absolutely love this food and it doesn't give them any dietary issues at all.
Excellent food. My very fussy dog who has a sensitive stomach loves this.
Have only just started using this food for my hypo-allergenic dog, but must admit that he loves it. This is the second bag from you, but it will not be the last. Have now used the turkey as well as the lamb and had no problems in feeding my dog. This is marvellous as he tends to be a finicky eater on dry foods.


Looking back at last year, we can happily say that we are still on the right course. During our second year of business we had lots of satisfied customers and were involved in several large projects. It is nice to see that customers are becoming more aware and value quality over the cheapest price. In conclusion, we can say that compared to 2014, our translation volume grew by 59% and our turnover increased by even more. Considering the strong competition on the Estonian translation market, this result is pretty good.
The major languages we handled during the year were still our neighbouring languages and of course English. However, we also dealt with more exotic translations to and from Portuguese, Chinese and Turkish, among others.
This year, we aim to grow at least as much and expand our international partner base, and make sure that we continue to be ready to carry out technologically more challenging translations projects. We cannot wait to introduce you to our services and create new value together. Welcome!
Muupel Translation Agency is happy to announce that as of 4 November 2015 it will be taking over the Tõlge24 domain and will be providing all the related translation services.
For seven years, Tõlge24 operated as an Internet-based translation service provider, but has now decided to terminate its activities. Muupel will not be taking over Tõlge24's contractual or otherwise agreed upon rights and obligations.
The changes will be negligible for the clients of Tõlge24, and the same values will continue to apply: quick replies, smart solutions, and service with a smile.
The structure of the book is logical and the language smooth, but the thing that really makes the book stand out is the fact that it is the first Estonian-language book on hospice care for the dying.
In the meantime, Muupel turned one (already?)! We would like to thank our wonderful clients and professional cooperation partners for smooth work and all their trust!
High-quality translation services at affordable prices!
As of today, 13 is a lucky number!
2013 is our year and we wish to share our good fortune with you.
If you place an order before the end of this year for only 13 pages of translation to any language, you will automatically become our loyal customer and get a permanent discount of 13% until the end of 2014!
Contact us at muupel(at)muupel.ee and let us start up our friendly cooperation!
We are looking for competent translators and editors to join our friendly team. All kinds of language combinations welcome!
Interested? Apply now! Send us your CV at muupel(at)muupel.ee or fill in the query form.
We can provide personal feedback to all candidates who send us their CV.
These days, even the best translators need good tools to succeed. We are thus delighted to announce that we have – as one of the first translation agencies in Estonia, as far as we know – started working with the newest version of the world's most popular CAT tool SDL Trados Studio 2014. The Trados software is a programme made by a company established in England 20 years ago; it is one of the most widespread CAT tools in the world. As the version name suggests, the product is indeed very fresh. After being honed for three years, it was finally released last month.

GoldLink: 'I Create Music For People To Dance To Again' The D.C. rapper and singer talks about raising the bar in rap and making people move with his signature "future bounce" sound.
GoldLink: 'I Create Music For People To Dance To Again'

Courtesy of the artist.
GoldLink wants to be known for his music and not his face.
GoldLink knew exactly what his New York City audience was thinking as he first hit the stage at S.O.B.'s on June 10: "I know y'all are probably wondering, 'What the f*** is this guy wearing?'" Well, actually it was obvious: a Speedo flotation vest. The better question was, why was he wearing it?. The sweat that ran down his slight frame throughout his set was substantial, sure, but not enough to drown in. It wasn't until the end of the show — an hour after his groovy brand of soulful, danceable hip-hop wrapped — that it all made sense. His Washington, D.C., hometown buddies joined him on stage, water bottles in hand. They uncapped them and things got wet; inflatable turtles and sharks swam in the audience. A pool party, sans pool. It was crazy. It was fun.
That type of energy has fueled the buzz around rapper and singer D'Anthony "GoldLink" Carlos, a '90s baby who draws musical inspiration from stars of that era in hip-hop and R&B. Soulection DJ LAKIM warmed up the crowd with a mix that made once-menacing cuts from Nas or slow jams like Ginuwine's "Pony" woozy, but somehow even more fit for an all-out party. 'Link's tunes are high energy. Even when unloading thoughtful raps from his 2014 mixtape, The God Complex, they at least encourage a head bob. At most, there's what's seen at his concert: uncontainable, remarkably on-beat movement to tracks like his Kaytranada-produced "Sober Thoughts."
The afternoon after that NYC show, a sleepy GoldLink caught up with NPR while en route to Boston to discuss why he's trying to bring rap music to a higher level than he met it at, his lack of interest in his peers' opinions of his rap skills, and what the future has in store for him.
On your mixtape, there are a lot of pop-culture references from the '90s, be they Mortal Kombat video-game lines or samples from TLC. What do you look for when selecting music to write to?
That's what I grew up on, really; that's where a lot of the inspiration comes from. I just like a beat that grabs me. And then I'll come up with a concept after. I like to take my time with music.
You also use a lot of melody. I don't think you have many rap verses that don't include a hint of singing. Where does that come from?
Just to change things up. Regular rap is kind of outdated now. It's about adding your own flavor to it now. You can train your ear to be a little different. I want to be entertaining. I sort of do it for entertainment purposes.
You can actually sing, though. You're even more confident live on stage with showing that side.
Do you have any singing experience? Did you sing in church or anything?
I used to sing in a choir when I was young. My mom forced me hardbody. I was hella young, like 5 years old. That's about it. But since then, it wasn't like I was always singing. It kind of just happened. I got comfortable in my own skin and then I started doing it for the f*** of it, just seeing what happens.
Would you ever consider doing a song where you sing the entire thing, no raps?
For sure, in future projects going forward.
It seems like a goal of your music is to make people dance; is that accurate?
Yeah, it's a goal of mine. I create music for people to dance to again. In black culture, you know, we used to go swing dancing. We used to go out to go dance and actually have fun. That's kind of a lost art with what's going on now. People just go to the club to hate on n*****. I'm like, "What's the point?" You know what I'm saying? God gave us music and limbs to move around. So I try to encourage that as much as I can for my crowd. It's a really good thing that people respond to that in this day and age.
At the end of your show, you paid homage to your D.C. go-go roots by playing UCB's "Sexy Lady." You don't really put much from that genre in your music as far as instrumentation. Do you think you will?
Maybe in the future. Go-go to me, though — low-key, is kind of like a time capsule. It's something that happened, and it can't really be duplicated or anything. The only thing I really take from it is the BPM and the bounce from it. That's about it. Aside from that, I just let it be.
On your song "When I Die," you talk about what you want when it's all over for you. What are your goals as a musician?
I'm trying to get the quality of rap music back up to par. Because right now it's f****** terrible. If can kind of help everything get better... I'm 22 years old. I grew up with bubble-gum rap. Seriously, in 2003, 2004, it was Chingy "Right Thurr." That's not that long ago. I grew up on s*** like that my whole life. We've been trained to so much bad music that we don't even know what's good anymore. I wasn't born in the era of Michael Jackson or James Brown. Or Neil Young or Willie Nelson or Tom Petty or Stevie Wonder. But Stevie's so good to me and I don't even understand it. But it's so good and it became timeless. It's quality. We don't understand that, because we never had a timeless artist in my generation. I guess my thing is trying to up the quality of music, so people know what's really good and what's really bad.
You took a little time out of your show to simply go a cappella and rap; then you said that those verses were for folks that think you can't rap well. How important is it for you to show people you're a great rapper technically?
It really don't mean s*** to me. I don't really give a f*** about how n***** feel about how I rap. But it was just a little notice, like, "Just so you n***** know, 'I can rap better than you. Don't get it f***** up'" The DMV is a very confused place. We adopted music culture from Atlanta, New York, from everywhere else. But we never had our own, except for go-go. That's the only thing we can champion. But that never got big. We had punk rock music that came from Bad Brains in the '70s and '80s. We had so much s***, and I'm taking it and making my own. So I think that can get confused by a lot of dumb-ass hip-hop n*****. Like, "Oh, he can't rap. That's like EDM or whatever."
All right. Okay, cool. I'm going to take time out of my set and have no beat play. Then I'm going to rap. Bars. And I don't know if you know any n**** in the game at my age that can rap like this. So just don't get it f***** up. It's really not that important. To me, it's about making music. It's not about rap. But I will stunt on n***** real quick.
I think I stand out because I don't sound like anybody else. I'm trying to do my own thing to the best of my ability and not imitate. I'm making my own mold.
Aside from Wale, there really isn't a standout rapper from the Washington, D.C., area that's succeeded recently. Did people believe in you early on when you were first starting to make The God Complex?
I was really by myself rapping. You can't really explain what I do to someone that's never seen it before in D.C. You just have to do it and have everyone witness it. So I was really quiet, but believed in myself.
Were your friends surprised when you first let them hear your music?
Yeah. It was like, "What? I didn't know you could do that!" The people that are around me now are the only people that got it then. They said, "I get what you're doing." They believed in it 100 percent. They understand music and where it's going. It takes a visionary and a very strong-minded person to see what I'm doing. Those are the kind of people that supported me from day one.
What can we expect from you next musically? Are you working on your debut album now?
I'm really trying to craft something very awesome for the world. A tape.

When Han Sen started to practice Jadeskin, he was too old in age. Since the foundation was not laid when he was a boy and he had practiced the hyper geno art for a short time, Han Sen was not able to make a big progress with it. Without the help of geno solutions, until this day, he still was not able to make the first breakthrough with Jadeskin.
Han Sen was stuck in a bottleneck and failed to make the breakthrough. However, when he drank the geno solutions to practice Micro Crystal, Jadeskin was activated unexpectedly and was pushed to the first breakthrough.
Han Sen only had one feeling at this point.
Cold! Piercing and thrilling cold!
The cold did not come from the outside but seemed to come from within. It was as if every single inch of his body was giving off the coldness, making Han Sen feel like he was going to turn into an ice statute.
He wanted to stop activation of Jadeskin, otherwise, wondered if he would be frozen to death. However, Jadeskin was like a wild horse that did not follow his control at all. The cold got worse and worse, making Han Sen become unconscious.
"I can't sleep. If I fall asleep, I'm afraid I will not wake up ever." Han Sen knew very well what would happen to someone who fell asleep in the snow, so he was striving to be lucid.
However, it did not help a lot. At this point, he could not even move his fingers. His entire body was incredibly cold and even the temperature in the room fell.
The thermostats did not seem to sense the drop in the room temperature, so it was not working.
"Dammit! How come the thermostats is broken at this point. Is God trying to kill me?" Han Sen wanted to smash the damned machine but unfortunately, he could not even move.
Suddenly, an idea crossed Han Sen's mind, which made him widen his eyes. No way. There is no such a coincidence. The reason the thermostats did not change only meant the room temperature did not actually drop. The cold I am feeling is very likely just a hallucination rather than a reality.
Thinking of that, Han Sen quickly gritted his teeth and told himself, "I'm not cold I'm not cold everything is fake It's just my hallucination"
"Dammit, it's really cold" Han Sen felt like the psychological suggestion did not really work, because he was actually frozen to death. It felt like his heart was frozen and blood had stopped flowing and became ice. The coldness went to his heart.
Gradually, the cold left him, and Han Sen started to feel warm. It was like sunshine in winter, making his trembling body feel better. Although it was not hot, it made him feel so comfortable that he almost moaned.
However, Han Sen did not feel happy about it. He became even more worried. He knew that the cold did not go away. The warmth meant he was not far from death. As soon he was fooled by the heat and fell asleep, he would never wake up. When he was discovered by others, he would be a dead body.
He tried his best not to fall asleep, but he felt more and more fuzzy. In the end, he could not help but fall asleep.
Han Sen did not know how long he had been sleeping. When he woke up again, he felt so comfortable as if he had just stepped out of a hot spring.
"What? I did not die?" Han Sen raised his hands incredulously and pinched his cheeks. Feeling the pain, he yelped.
"Indeed, I did not die. This is not a dream!" Han Sen was overjoyed. Before he fell asleep, he thought he was doomed. However, nothing had really happened. It was as if he had just gone to bed.
However, Han Sen felt his body was somewhat different. Although he could not tell what was different, the feeling could not be mistaken.
Han Sen could not wait to run Jadeskin in his body, trying to figure out what had happened. The moment he started, he saw his two hands had become transparent like ice or Jade.
These hands reminded Han Sen of Xue Longyan's hands the only time he met Xue Longyan. However, Han Sen's hands were even more fine than Xue Longyan's. It was hard to believe they were human hands.
"First breakthrough I made the first breakthrough in Jadeskin" Han Sen practiced Jadeskin in excitement, turning his entire body into Jade.
"Jadeskin This is what Jadeskin truly meant I made it!" Han Sen could not resist his excitement. Watching his translucent body, he almost laughed out loud.
After insisting on practicing Jadeskin for so long, Han Sen eventually made the first breakthrough, which laid the most important foundation.
Although Han Sen was still a bit too old to start, the fact that he had made the first breakthrough with the hyper geno art made his progress fall into the normal range.
Feeling endless power inside his body, Han Sen squeezed his fists. Although the muscles and bones looked translucent, they were as flexible as beef tendons. He did not feel hard to move around but felt his senses were heightened.
Han Sen stopped the running of Jadeskin and turned his body back to normal. Looking at himself in the mirror, he saw his skin became more tender and smooth. However, there was not much of a difference between now and then. His eyes were more watery like gemstones, which made him look quite charming.
"If I continue this way, I will be more and more like a gigolo." Feeding upset, Han Sen hoped he could look more masculine.
However, that was no big deal. There was no need to care about the appearance. Han Sen ran Micro Crystal again, wanting to make sure that he was still able to practice this hyper geno art.
Very soon, Han Sen opened his mouth wide. After practicing Micro Crystal, he found that Micro Crystal was just a small part of Jadeskin.
When he used Micro Crystal, Han Sen felt his body was toughened because the body cells were crystallized, making him look like a statue carved out of crystal.
"Micro Crystal, I achieved it" Although Han Sen felt incredulous, the fact was the fact. He indeed succeeded in practicing Micro Crystal. Hew Han Sen looked was exactly what was described in the Micro Crystal tutorial.
The hyper geno art that took others 2 to 3 decades to practice was easily achieved by Han Sen. Even Han Sen himself could not believe that was happening.
Shortly, Han Sen found that it was not really a fact worth celebrating. The effect of Micro Crystal was far worse than Jadeskin after he made the first breakthrough. The only good thing about Micro Crystal was that now he had an excuse to cover the fact that he had been practicing Jadeskin.

Healthy Sleep Trends:
Sleeping Too Much Might Raise Stroke Risk
By Steven Reinberg
FRIDAY, DEC. 13, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- If you're the kind of person who sleeps nine or more hours a night or takes long afternoon naps, you may want to worry about your stroke risk, a new Chinese study suggests.
According to the research, people who sleep and nap too long may increase their risk for stroke by 85%. Regular 90-minute midday naps can raise the risk 25%, compared with not napping or napping for only 30 minutes.
"People, especially middle-aged and older adults, should pay more attention to their time spent in bed attempting to sleep and midday napping, and sleep quality, because appropriate duration of sleep and nap, and maintaining good sleep quality may complement other behavioral interventions for preventing stroke," said researcher Dr. Xiaomin Zhang. She is a professor in the Department of Occupational and Environmental Health at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China.
Zhang cautioned that these findings don't prove long napping and sleeping cause stroke, only that there is an association.
It's not clear how sleep and the risk for stroke are connected. Other studies, however, have found that excess sleep and poor sleep quality are linked to high cholesterol and obesity, both of which are risk factors for heart disease and stroke. Zhang said.
For the study, Zhang's team collected data on nearly 32,000 people in China whose average age was 62. During an average of six years of follow-up, more than 1,500 participants suffered a stroke.
The researchers took into account factors that can increase the risk for stroke, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking.
Even so, they found that those who slept nine or more hours per night were 23% more likely to have a stroke, compared with people who slept seven hours or less per night.
People who slept long hours at night and took long naps during the day were most at risk for stroke, the researchers found.
Disturbed sleep was also tied to a 29% increase in the risk for stroke, compared with people whose sleep quality was good.
The study had a couple of limitations. First, the findings were based on self-reported sleep habits, and second, these findings may only apply to older people.
Neurologist Dr. Salman Azhar, director of stroke at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, thinks that improving the quality of your sleep is more important than sleeping more.
"Number one, addressing sleep apnea, which is underdiagnosed and undertreated," he said. "This study confirms what other studies have shown -- that insomnia and sleep apnea are bad for you and increase your risk of stroke."
Secondly, there' s clearly some relationship between extended sleep hours or extended midday naps and increasing stroke risk, Azhar said.
"If you sleep so much, you're actually decreasing your activity and a reduction in activity leads to a number of things that increase your risk of obesity, poor sugar control and blood pressure being out of whack," he said.
The bottom line, Azhar believes, is that too much sleep or poor sleep limits your activity, which in turn increases your risk for stroke.
The report was published online Dec. 11 in the journal Neurology.

Jimi Jamison, the former lead singer of Survivor and the man behind the hits "Burning Heart" and The Karate Kid's "The Moment of Truth," died Sunday, August 31.
"The entire Survivor family is very shocked and saddened by the passing of our brother Jimi Jamison. Our thoughts, love and prayers go out to his family and friends," the band's official Facebook page posted Monday.
His booking agent Sally Irwin told the Los Angeles Times that he died of a heart attack at his home in Memphis, Tennessee.
Jamison joined Survivor after their most famous hit "Eye of the Tiger," when original lead singer David Bickler left for medical reasons. He also co-wrote and sang the Baywatch theme song "I'm Always Here."


I really hope Chris Dodd does what he says and sits down with the tech industry. And I really hope that this statement does not indicate that Chris Dodd and the rest of those backing PIPA and SOPA think that they would have been more successful if they just would have moved quicker.
But the startlingly speedy collapse of the antipiracy campaign by some of Washington's savviest players — not just the motion picture association, but also the United States Chamber of Commerce and the Recording Industry Association of America — signaled deep changes in antipiracy lobbying in the future. By Mr. Dodd's account, no Washington player can safely assume that a well-wired, heavily financed legislative program is safe from a sudden burst of Web-driven populism.
What Dodd, the MPAA, RIAA and everyone else backing these bills needs to understand is that this isn't about money, it isn't even about piracy. This is about government being able to run rough-shod over what services people use. If SOPA/PIPA backers brought a reasonable bill to the tech industry that was actually aimed at cutting down on piracy and not shutting down web sites without a judges review (you know, innocent before proven guilty), my guess is we'd back it.
THIS IS ABOUT GIVING US REASONABLY PRICED CONTENT WHEREVER WE WANT IT.
Some great posts on SOPA/PIPA, Elia.

Martensson, Gren, G.Nordahl, Liedholm, S.Nilsson.
England dominated the first half of this match at Highbury and would have won by more goals had they not faded so badly after the interval to allow Sweden to come right back into the game.
England were quickly into their stride and after 13 minutes, brilliant work by Wilf Mannion set up their first goal. He dribbled out to the right before splitting the Swedish defence with a brilliant reverse pass which let in Stan Mortensen to score.
After 20 minutes, England added a second from the penalty spot. Mortensen burst through to take Tommy Lawton's headed pass but was brought down in the box. Lawton scored from the spot-kick.
Sweden then hit back and Gunnar Nordahl had scored after a free-kick had caught England badly positioned. This was only a momentary lapse by the home side and they were soon back on top. Lindberg made some fine saves but was powerless to stop Mortensen making it 3-1 after another pass by Lawton.
The midfield mastery of Mannion, Mortensen, Billy Wright and Phil Taylor was superb during the first half and, but for Lindberg's brilliance, especially in two saves from Mannion, England would have been in an unassailable position.
As it was, the second half was a much different story. The edge went from England's play and the half barely started when George Hardwick was desperately heading a shot off his goalline. Sweden were beginning to take control as England faded and they really put the pressure on when Gren scored from a penalty to make it 3-2.
For a while it seemed as though they might equalise but England withstood the pressure well and near the end a piece of sheer brilliance by Mortensen clinched the match. He picked up the ball and set off on a magnificent 40-yard run before ending it with a deadly left-foot shot.
After the break England were certainly made to think by the gutsy Swedish display.
Sweden, including the famous Nordahl brothers - Gunnar, Bertil and Knut - pulled back to 3-2 after England had powered into a three-goal lead. Stan Mortensen settled it with a classic goal to complete his hat-trick, beating three defenders in a run from the half-way line before firing in an unstoppable 20-yard shot. The game was billed as being for the unofficial championship of Europe at a time when the Swedes, coached by former Bury winger George Raynor, were rated one of the world's leading football nations. Stan Mortensen was in magnificent form and might have had four goals had he not been upended in the penalty area when shaping to shoot in the first-half. After England's bad recent record from spot-kicks, Tommy Lawton volunteered to take it and scored England's first goal from a penalty since the war. The newspapers ran a story before the match that the Swedes were on a course of pep-pills. Their coach George Raynor later confided that they were just sugar-based pills, but that they had a great psychological effect on his players. Most of the Swedes were amateurs, and that following summer they won the Olympic final in London with some delightful football. Gunnar Nordahl was an exceptional centre-forward, who along with Nils Lindholm later starred with AC Milan.

Are you starting to use computers more for your art, but aren't sure which ones you should use? I use the Adobe Suite CS4 and I remember when I started using the computer I was confused what to use, and I was in a class. It was explained to me and I have used it that way ever since. Although you can use any of the programs for duplicate projects I work like this. I use Photoshop for colouring cartoons, adjusting images, etc. I use Illustrator for logo designs, text illustrations, one page projects such as posters etc. I use InDesign for multi page booklets, business cards and the like. Use what your most comfortable with but try to use more than one program. The other key is to keep up with the latest programs or you may find printers won't be able to print your projects. I hope that helps.

Q: Solar Cell Performance With Varying Incident Angle I am trying to calculate the power generated from solar panels placed on the Moon. I have an equation for power generated at the beginning and end of life and have hit a snag in my brain.
If the solar array is on the 'equator' of the moon (I know that the moon is tilted slightly so lets pretend it isn't for sake of ease in this question), so the incident angle of the solar rays would be 0 and the power generated would be at a maximum.

So this is the best case and as the Moon rotates about its axis, \$\theta\$ increases and hence the power output decreases. Good.
Now my question is, what if the solar array is not placed on the equation, i.e. the best case scenario for it is where there is already an incident angle present (for this example I am saying the solar array is placed much closer to one of the poles).
Obviously you still have the change in \$\theta\$ with the rotation of the Moon, but you also have this offset \$\theta\$ which is there to start with - how do we account for this?
I was initially thinking that we take the original \$\theta\$ and only once the rotational \$\theta\$ becomes greater than it do we use that value, but I don't think that could possibly be right.
So I have come to the conclusion that the equation I started with will need to have two \$\cos\theta\$ values, one for the initial offset and the other for the rotation of the Moon. Am I correct in this thinking?
Apologies for the very long winded question, I am not good at concise writing when I am trying to explain my thought process without the aid of diagrams. The values used in the equations are typical values as well. Any questions, please ask and I will try and clarify it.

Back to Bridgerton – 10 filming locations from the hit show
Bridgerton has been the TV series on everyone's lips since it launched on Netflix on Christmas Day. Produced by Shonda Rhimes, creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal, and based on the novels by Julia Quinn, the show has proved a hit with audiences around the world thanks to its modern take on life in Regency England – not to mention its passionate romance scenes. With the news it has been renewed for a second series, fans looking to follow in the footsteps of its stars can discover the real-life filming locations on a future trip to Britain.
Bridgerton and the Regency Era
The Regency Era is an inspiration for many writers, not least Jane Austen, whose ground-breaking works introduced generations of readers to the customs, traditions and social issues of the time. Breaking down its own barriers, Bridgerton is a period drama with a difference, expertly combining breathtaking backdrops and traditional costumes with important modern-day issues and a multi-cultural cast. With sweeping shots of ornate stately homes, quintessential British countryside and the sizzling chemistry between its two leads, it's also the Netflix show of choice for those looking to explore historical England from the comfort of their sofa.
No. 1 Royal Crescent
Although many of the events in Bridgerton are set in Mayfair's London, within the residences of the best families in England, much of the filming took place in Bath. Founded by the Romans, the Somerset city was a buzzing social hub for the well-to-do in the 1800s and it remains a jewel of Regency architecture to this day. For those keen to experience a slice of Bridgerton, No.1 Royal Crescent is a must-see stop. Doubling as the home of the Featheringtons, in real life it is a museum dedicated to the period. Built in the 1760s-1770s, the Royal Crescent's perfectly-preserved architecture and views of Royal Victoria Park are one of the main backdrops to the series. Eagle-eyed fans may also recognise it from TV adaptations of Vanity Fair and Northanger Abbey, in addition to the motion picture The Duchess.
Abbey Green
Situated in the centre of Bath, Abbey Green's cobbled streets and quaint boutiques make it a dream filming location for Bridgerton and it's here that the fictional dress shop, Modiste, is located. Owned by renowned seamstress Madame Genevieve Delacroix, the shop is a hotbed of style and gossip and the setting to several key scenes in the show. Fans can look forward to donning their best outfits for a turn around the square, before a spot of lunch and shopping in true Bridgerton style.
Bath Street features in the very first episode of Bridgerton, when the Duke makes his heart-stopping appearance on horseback. Although it doubles as a Mayfair street in London, this Georgian delight is actually the location of a quintessential Bath highlight, the Thermae Bath Spa, an award-winning spa featuring the 18th-century Cross Bath and an open-air rooftop pool.
The Assembly Rooms
Many of the scandalous storylines in Bridgerton revolve around big social events, where high society comes together to celebrate, mediate and fall in love, much to the delight of gossip columnist extraordinaire, Lady Whistledown. The Assembly Rooms tea room and ballroom were the setting for many of these extravagant evening scenes and have also featured in film adaptations of classics including Persuasion, in addition to being home to a highly regarded Fashion Museum.
The Ranger's House
Greenwich is an area steeped in regal history, so it's a fitting location for the home of the Bridgertons themselves. Filmed at the Ranger's House, a stately home on the edge of the world-renowned park, today the majestic building is home to The Wernher Collection, which features more than 700 works by artists including Botticelli, Monvaerni and Metsu. Those planning to explore the area shouldn't forget to visit the Royal Observatory, while history fans can immerse themselves in the past at the Queen's House, the home built for Queen Anne, and the Old Royal Naval College – all located just a stone's throw away.
The former home of King Henry VIII, Hampton Court Palace doubles as the opulent residence of Queen Charlotte in Bridgerton. Located in Richmond on the banks of the Thames, a visit to the palace is a must for those interested in British history. Fans of the series can follow in the footsteps of its stars with a stroll through the palace's 60 acres of gardens, including the ornate Privy Garden, which was beloved by the King himself, or explore the beauty of Richmond Park - home to herds of red and fallow deer since 1637.
Lancaster House
Although Hampton Court Palace was used for exterior shots of Queen Charlotte's Palace, Lancaster House in Westminster, London, was used for the interior and also acted as a backdrop for scenes filmed inside Buckingham Palace. With its sweeping staircases and Grand Hall, which mirrors the style of the Palace of Versailles, the building is a favourite filming location for period dramas and has also appeared in Downton Abbey and The King's Speech.
The Reform Club
Located in the heart of Pall Mall and founded in 1832, The Reform Club is another London filming location immortalised in the series. The setting of episode one's meeting between the Duke of Hastings and Anthony Bridgerton, in reality the private members club is the haunt of some of Britain's most forward-thinking political minds, not to mention one of the area's most striking buildings.
Painshill Park
The beautifully manicured grounds of Painshill Park also feature in the hit show. Completed in 1773, the gardens were inspired by the owner, the Honorable Charles Hamilton's Grand Tour of Europe and his passion for Renaissance art, with the lake, bridge and gently rolling landscape all featuring in the series.
Castle Howard
Clyvedon Castle, the Duke of Hastings' great estate, is actually Castle Howard, a splendid residence located a short distance from York, in the north of England. The Castle is no stranger to the big and small screen, having featured in Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon, Brideshead Revisited and Victoria, to name just a few. Built at the end of the 17th century, the castle's sprawling gardens feature in the show, while nearby Coneysthorpe Village doubled as the village frequently visited by the Duke and Duchess. Although the Duke of Hastings is a fictional character and title, history buffs will be interested to know that there is a real-life Baron Hastings, for whom the appellative of Lord Hastings is used - a title that has existed since the 13th century.

Help stop the Daedra from overrunning Dawnbreak.
Dawnbreak — Help the Marines save Dawnbreak from the Daedra.
The town of Dawnbreak has been overrun by Daedra. In response, First Auridon Marines have arrived to aid the town.
Find the five Dawnbreak villagers.
Talk to Captain Landare in the manor house.
Talk to Captain Landare outside the manor house.
Captain Landare outside of Dawnbreak says the town is overrun with daedra. Unfortunately, the recovery efforts can't begin until all the residents are clear. You offer to help, and Captain Landare gives you a list of residents to evacuate. She asks you to meet her in the manor house near the town's center after you finish.
You need to find five people in Dawnbreak.
The closest person to Captain Landare, Elannie, is in the first house on the right, Elannie's House, when you enter Dawnbreak. Elannie promised her father she would wait for him. If you have the persuasion perk, you can persuade her to leave, or find her father, Almion.
Return Almion's pendant to Elannie. She will agree to leave.
Almion's dead body can be found by continuing on the main path to the north. You take the wooden pendant Elannie gave him from his body. Finding his body counts as finding one of the people in Dawnbreak.
Fasaran is walking around inside his house, which is to the left of Elannie's house. He is looking for his dead wife Fara's ring, all he has left of her. If you have the intimidation perk, you can intimidate him, or you can find the ring.
The basket to the south contains the wedding ring. Return it to Fasaran, and he will thank you and agree to leave.
Mirkalinde is inside her house near the center of Dawnbreak. All you need to do is tell her the First Auridon Marines are here and it is safe to leave, and she will evacuate.
Pirtar is the farthest north. He is inside an open building. You will need to activate rubble in the middle of the building to find him.
Captain Landare is inside the manor house, which is an open building just south of the Dawnbreak icon on your map.
You tell the captain you evacuated everyone you could and offer more help. However, as Captain Landare is giving you a task, Sergeant Artinaire runs in and reports that the daedra have returned.
Captain Landare tells you to search for five First Auridon Marine patrols.
The Marine Patrols are behind Mirkalinde's house and Pirtar's destroyed house. To rescue the patrols, you need to defeat the daedra that are attacking them. You can rescue all five in one area.
After you rescue five patrols, talk to Sergeant Artinaire, who runs up to you. She says Captain Landare went to a cave to the northeast. The sergeant is worried the captain is in over her head.
The cave is northeast of Dawnbreak. Enter the Abandoned Mine.
Captain Landare is in the first big room in an alcove to the right. One of the patrols she found overheard Estre talking to the daedra. You need to stop the ritual while the captain takes the patrol back to Dawnbreak.
To stop the ritual, you need to go all the way to the south end of the Abandoned Mine. Defeat the enemies there and close the daedric portal. The dremora reveal that Estre's target is Firsthold.
You can exit through the door behind the portal, as you will leave the mine closer to Dawnbreak.
Go back northwest to the manor house in Dawnbreak. Speak to Captain Landare outside the manor house to receive your reward.
I rescued people in Dawnbreak. I should head to the manor house and report to Captain Landare.
While speaking to Captain Landare, one of her Marines arrived with urgent news. I should listen to what she has to say.
Sergeant Artinaire said the Daedra have attacked again. I should ask Captain Landare what she plans to do.
Captain Landare asked me to search for her patrols. She mentioned they were searching for the source of the Daedra in the woods on the east side of town.
Sergeant Artinaire found me in the woods. I should see what she wants this time.
One of the Marines I rescued reported a cave on the northeast side of town. Captain Landare went in to investigate herself. I should find the cave and see if I can help her.
I found and entered the cave. I need to find Captain Landare.
Captain Landare said Dremora still attempt to summon another wave of Daedra. I need to search the cave, find them, and stop their ritual.
I ended the summoning ritual. Time to head back to the manor house.
Finishes quest I should speak to Captain Landare.

While Nigeria's five biggest banks share common credit challenges related to the slowdown in Nigeria's oil and gas dependent economy, their ability to withstand weak economic growth and volatile monetary conditions varies, one of the global rating agencies, Moody's Investors Service said in a report monday.
The banks – Zenith Bank Plc, Guaranty Trust Bank Plc, Access Bank Plc, United Bank for Africa Plc (UBA), and First Bank of Nigeria Limited, have all been affected by the weakening domestic operating environment following the prolonged period of lower oil and gas prices, it stated.
It further pointed out the more challenging environment, coupled with Moody's view of the high likelihood of support from the Nigerian government, largely explains its narrow range of issuer ratings of the five banks.
"However, despite shared credit challenges, there are differences among the banks in terms of their respective abilities to withstand weak economic growth and volatile monetary conditions, which are reflected in their differing baseline credit assessments (BCAs) that range from b1 to b3," a Moody's Vice President Senior Analyst and co-author of the report, Akin Majekodunmi added.
The publication of the peer comparison report followed Moody's announcement on 15 September that the ratings agency had assigned first-time ratings to Zenith, GTBank, UBA and FBN, which account for approximately 48 per cent of Nigeria's banking assets.
Looking across the whole of the Nigerian banking sector, Moody's expects non-performing loans (NPLs) to increase to around 12 per cent over the next 12 months, compared to the five per cent as of December 2015 recorded in central bank data. The forecast rise in NPLs stems from lower oil prices, a weakening naira, slower GDP growth and rising inflation.
"Likewise, the agency expects foreign currency deposits, which have fallen around 30 per cent since the start of 2015, to stabilise over the next 12 to 18 months as the impact of lower oil prices and the central bank's adoption of a Treasury Single Account fades.
"Moody's expects loss-absorbing capital buffers to hold steady on account of muted loan growth of around 5-10 per cent over the next 12 to 18 months. However, as a result of this weak loan growth, net interest income and fee and commission income will remain depressed.
"On the upside, Nigeria's economic potential remains strong and continues to attract investment. Depositor confidence and local currency buffers at the banks also remain robust," it added.
