Vocal Performance Kids Camp*
August 5th-9th, 2019
Maple Valley Creative Arts Center is proud to partner with Voice in the Valley Music Studio to offer this fun-filled, weeklong camp specifically designed for developing female vocalists (ages 11-18), emphasizing the importance of solid vocal technique to enhance song performance. Participants will explore multiple songs (solos/duets/ensembles) from a variety of genres including Musical Theatre, Classical, Folk, Jazz, and Pop, being coached by Dr. Jessi Jumper and our special vocal coach, Jessie Siren! Specific focus is on the importance of proper singing techniques, including posture, breath, phonation, and resonation, as well as the importance of connecting with your audience through dramatic action on stage.
This special camp also focuses on uplifting and empowering young girls in our community in a safe and inclusive environment. In addition to learning music that has positive, powerful messages, campers also explore relative social issues such as self esteem development, peer pressure, body issues, bullying, and more. Our goal is to give these talented young women the tools to leave feeling confident as a performer and as a person, secure in who they are, and beautiful from the inside out.
The workshop is held daily from 9am-2pm Monday-Thursday. Friday's dress rehearsal will be held from 4pm-6pm. The Final Performance Showcase will be held at 6pm, open to the public.
*Space is limited for both camps, early registration is encouraged!

Woodstock Chrysalis
Woodstock Chrysalis is a new play by Ed Corrigan, a Seattle area playwright. This original work was developed at Salvo Studio Seattle.
The time is 1969. The place is the iconic Woodstock Music & Art Fair where 400,000 Hippies and Freaks show up for 3 Days of Peace & Music & Lord knows what else. What could possibly go wrong?
Our young hero, Maxine, is trying her best to navigate the turbulent waters of the late 1960's. It is an era of war, the Draft, sexual revolution, assassinations, counter-culture and protest. At nineteen years old, Maxine feels her life is upside down compared to little more than a year ago in High School. What was right in 1967 is wrong in 1969. What is right in 1969 was wrong in 1967. Confusing right?
Maxine's 3 day journey at the Festival is a personal odyssey of conflict, self-discovery, moral crisis and, oh yeah, music plus fun. Can she overcome the 3 deadly sins of lust, wrath and envy? Can Maxine come-of-age in a way she can be proud of 50 years later?

Together we can protect and restore rivers, and help communities throughout our region build resilience.
Stay connected – get updates about projects, programs, events and more.
Help Us Keep It Going!
Native tree seedlings planted in the Colorado River Delta region.
We're more than conservationists. We work to protect the environments, economies and communities of the West, through unique programs and initiatives.
It was the environmental community's dream—and its nightmare. Large-scale clean energy production in the West was finally feasible, but the sudden interest in developing it threatened millions of acres of unspoiled vistas, wildlife corridors, and habitat on public lands across the region.
Santa Cruz River: Paradise Lost, Paradise Reborn, Will it be Lost Again?
The federally endangered Gila topminnow had not been seen in its native habitat, the Santa Cruz River, for more than a decade. Then, in December 2015 they came back.
What Can a River Teach us?
Innovative. Collaborative. Turning the impossible to possible. That is what we are doing in the Colorado River Delta and our newest effort in the estuary—one of the most productive and endangered ecosystems on earth—combines these themes.
We develop tools & information for communities to better understand what's driving their local economies and for public land managers to assess the relative benefits of protecting or developing these lands. Our work underscores that protecting public lands is important economic development strategy. The California Desert is our most recent success.
Green infrastructure—using nature's ability to provide the same services associated with more conventional "grey" infrastructure—offers tremendous ecological and economic benefits. Nowhere is this more evident than on a 250-acre wetland we created to treat wastewater and serve as a refuge for birds and other wildlife in the Colorado River Delta.
From water scarcity to hasty development, we know the unique challenges that face the West – and we're flexible and resilient enough to find the right balance between conserving and developing our natural resources.
You have the dedication, hope and resilience our region needs.
Your commitment to protecting natural resources makes incredible things happen.

Il volo USAir 427 era un volo di linea della US Airways decollato dall'aeroporto di Chicago-O'Hare con destinazione Pittsburgh. L'8 settembre 1994, il Boeing 737 che operava il volo precipitò vicino Aliquippa, Pennsylvania a 6 miglia nord-ovest dall'aeroporto di Pittsburgh. Tutti i 132 occupanti del velivolo morirono all'impatto.

L'aereo
Il velivolo coinvolto nell'incidente era un Boeing 737-300, numero di registrazione N613AU e S/N 23699, motorizzato con due CFM56-3-B1. Il velivolo venne consegnato alla US Airways nell'ottobre del 1987 e al momento dell'incidente aveva accumulato 23,846 ore di volo e 14,489 cicli. Il velivolo era inoltre dotato di un serbatoio supplementare di carburante che limitava la capacità della stiva di carico.

Al momento dell'incidente il velivolo era valutato 30.000.000$

L'incidente
Il volo USAir 427 decollò regolarmente alle 18:10 dell'8 settembre 1994 dalla pista 32L dell'aeroporto di Chicago-O'Hare per un volo di circa 55 minuti con destinazione Pittsburgh.

Alle 18:58 l'equipaggio iniziò la checklist preliminare per l'atterraggio a Pittsburgh.

Alle 19:02:57 mentre l'aereo stava virando a sinistra per prua 100° con un'inclinazione di circa 8°, improvvisamente il velivolo accentuò la virata arrivando fino a 20° di inclinazione a sinistra. Dopo circa 3 secondi l'equipaggio riuscì a stabilizzare il velivolo. Meno di un secondo dopo che l'equipaggio aveva stabilizzato l'aereo a prua 100°, senza che l'equipaggio toccasse i comandi, il Boeing si inclinò nuovamente a sinistra. Alle 19:03 il velivolo era a prua 089° e si trovava a 43° di inclinazione a sinistra continuando a inclinarsi sempre a sinistra con un ritmo di 5° al secondo. L'assetto del velivolo inoltre era a picchiare con una velocità di 186 KIAS. Alle 19:03:07 si attivò lo stick shaker.

Alle 19:02:22.8 il Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) smise di registrare contemporaneamente all'impatto del velivolo contro una collina.

Le indagini
L'Ente Nazionale per la Sicurezza americano (NTSB) aprì immediatamente un'inchiesta per accertare le cause dell'incidente. Le indagini si concentrarono su un episodio accorso lo stesso giorno dell'incidente mentre il Boeing 737 era impegnato nella tratta da Windsor Locks, Connecticut a Jacksonville con scalo a Syracuse, Rochester e Charlotte con un equipaggio diverso però da quello dell'incidente. I piloti non riportarono nessun problema ma i passeggeri dopo l'atterraggio a Jacksonville riportarono che il velivolo fece delle "manovre brusche". Gli investigatori analizzarono allora la scatola nera per analizzare l'inviluppo di volo. Durante l'avvicinamento l'aereo passò da 9° di inclinazione a sinistra a 12° di inclinazione a destra in circa 20 secondi. I piloti attribuirono la variazione d'assetto alla selezione di una diversa modalità sull'autopilota. L'NTSB ricevette inoltre diverse segnalazioni in merito a "strani" rumori uditi dai passeggeri nella parte posteriore del velivolo. Gli investigatori allora analizzarono i componenti del sistema dei controlli di volo (componenti di alettoni, timone di profondità, timone di direzione, slat, flap, spoiler e campioni di fluido idraulico). Le analisi riportarono che i meccanismi di controllo del timone di direzione avevano subito sollecitazioni da sovraccarico.

Timone di Direzione

Il Boeing 737 è dotato di un timone di direzione attuato idraulicamente in grado di funzionare con entrambi i sistemi idraulici del velivolo consentendo al pilota la massima operatività del sistema anche in caso di gravi avarie. I piloti possono controllare la direzione del timone di direzione tramite la pedaliera. Le prestazioni aerodinamiche del timone inoltre consentono di poter controllare il velivolo anche in caso di pianta di motore in sicurezza. Per ragioni di sicurezza (per carichi aerodinamici) l'escursione del timone è limitata a 26° (destra e sinistra); il massimo angolo teorico raggiungibile dal timone è di 66°. Se il timone dovesse superare questi limiti ci sarebbero delle conseguenze sui cavi che collegano la pedaliera al timone e allo stesso attuatore idraulico.

PCU del Timone di Direzione
Il Rudder PCU (Power Control Unit del timone di direzione) converte i segnali meccanici provenienti dalla pedaliera in cabina in movimento da trasferire direttamente al timone. Il PCU funziona quindi su diretto input da parte dei piloti. I segnali provenienti dalla cabina sono trasmessi al PCU mediante collegamenti meccanici (sistema servo-assistito) che restituiscono inoltre feedback ai controlli di volo.

Il PCU del Boeing 737 è stato progettato dalla stessa Boeing e prodotto dalla Parker Hannifin Corporation.

Cause
Per accertare le cause dell'incidente vennero effettuate numerose simulazioni al simulatore cercando di includere tutte le situazioni possibili. L'unica situazione simulata che fosse compatibile con l'inviluppo di volo registrato dalla scatola nera era quella di un malfunzionamento al timone di direzione che lo portava a bloccarsi alla massima escursione. Il simulatore però non restituiva un feedback ottimale e venne organizzato per il 22 giugno 1995 un test di volo usando un Boeing 737 che aveva manifestato gli stessi sintomi del volo USAir 427. Anche questo test però non diede le risposte che gli ispettori si aspettavano. I test sui componenti del timone si protrassero per più di 1 anno; vennero analizzate tutte le possibilità: cedimento del metallo, tolleranze, guasto al sistema idraulico, contaminazione del sistema idraulico, presenza di aria nell'impianto idraulico, etc.

Nell'agosto del 1996 gli ingegneri della Boeing indicarono come possibile cause del guasto un surriscaldamento del liquido del sistema idraulico. Durante l'agosto del 1996 vennero effettuati 12 test: 4 test su PCU nuovi e 8 sul PCU del volo USAir 427. I test vennero eseguiti cercando di riprodurre le condizioni climatiche del volo 427 e sollecitando il PCU con vari input: temperatura del PCU da -12 °C a -6 °C e temperatura del fluido idraulico a 21 °C. Il test diede però esito positivo e non vennero identificate anomalie nel funzionamento del pezzo. Venne ripetuto nuovamente un test cercando una situazione più estrema: temperatura del PCU a -40 °C e liquido idraulico a 76 °C. Questo test non evidenziò nessuna anomalia sui nuovi PCU mentre sul PCU del volo 427 si registrarono risultati anomali. Il PCU dell'aereo incidentato ha risposto correttamente ai primi tre movimenti successivamente si è bloccato a sinistra al quarto comando per 5 secondi prima di tornare in posizione neutra. Nei successivi movimenti la risposta del PCU avveniva in modo ritardato. Venne effettuato un secondo test ripetendo le condizione del precedente e vennero registrate anomalie nel funzionamento del PCU, soprattutto nel ritorno nella posizione neutrale. Nell'ottobre dello stesso anno i test vennero ripetuti controllando anche i valori di pressione, densità, ecc. relativi al liquido idraulico in ingresso e uscita dal PCU. I nuovi test rilevarono che mentre il PCU rimaneva bloccato la pressione dell'olio idraulico aumentava considerevolmente.

Il PCU del volo USAir 427 venne smontato ed esaminato tra l'agosto e l'ottobre del 1996 dalla Parker Hannifin che non rilevò nessuna anomalia. Vennero effettuati altri test sia da parte della Boeing che dell'NTSB e dopo aver confrontato dati di decine di test e simulazioni l'inchiesta concluse che l'incidente del volo USAir 427 per la perdita di controllo del velivolo da parte dei piloti provocata dal guasto al timone di direzione che si è bloccato in una posizione oltre i limiti tecnici. Il blocco del PCU è stato provocato da una serie di condizioni climatiche sfavorevoli che hanno raffreddato il PCU quando, in seguito ad un intervento del pilota sul timone, il PCU è stato attraversato dall'olio idraulico molto caldo. Sarebbe stata quindi la netta differenza di temperatura tra il PCU e l'olio idraulico a provocare il bloccaggio del meccanismo.

L'inchiesta è considerata una delle più lunghe di sempre con oltre 4 anni di investigazione.

Conseguenze
Dopo l'inchiesta dell'NTSB e l'accertamento delle cause dell'incidente molte inchieste irrisolte che riguardavano incidenti di Boeing 737 dagli anni ottanta vennero nuovamente analizzate. Furono circa 100 i casi sottoposti a rianalisi.

Cultura di massa
L'incidente del volo 427 della USAir è stato analizzato nell'episodio Pericolo nascosto della quarta stagione del documentario Indagini ad alta quota trasmesso dal National Geographic Channel.

First systematic report on the tug-of-war between DNA damage and repair
- Genomic analysis of mutations show the complex interplay between DNA damage and faulty repair systems -
A collaborative project between the Center for Genome Integrity, within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS, South Korea), and the Dundee School of Life Sciences, the EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), and the Wellcome Sanger Institute (UK) have screened almost 163,000 DNA mutations in 2,700 C. elegans roundworms to shed light on DNA damage. The results, published in Nature Communications, lead to the conclusion that mutation patterns seen in cancer are more complicated than we previously thought.

In reality, however, a faulty DNA damage repair mechanism may pile up mutations, resulting in critical health issues, such as cancers and genetic disabilities. (Credit:Pinterest)
Our genetic material is constantly exposed to possible sources of mutations, including UV light, tobacco smoke and carcinogenic chemicals. These genetic alterations are usually corrected by an army of DNA repair proteins that patrol the DNA and fix its mistakes. However, what happens when the policemen themselves are malfunctioning? They can overlook some DNA alterations, or even generate some mutations while trying to correct them. In this study, researchers looked at mutational signatures – patterns of mutations occurring in the genome – caused by the combined action of 11 known DNA damaging agents and inaccurate DNA repair mechanisms using C. elegans worms as a model system.
▲ Watch the graceful move of C. elegansC. elegans grows to about 1 mm in length, and lives in the soil. C. elegans shares many of the essential biological characteristics that are central problems of human biology. It goes through a complex process of development after being conceived as a single cell. So much effort is putting into the study of C. elegans as it serves as the ideal compromise between complexity and tractability.
"Our paper is the first to use experimental approaches to systematically test, at a genome-wide scale, how DNA damaging agents cause mutations, and how this is prevented by DNA repair proteins," says Anton Gartner, Associate Director of the IBS Center for Genomic Integrity and co-leading author of this study.
While mutagens were thought to generate unique mutational signatures, the results showed a more intricate picture. DNA repair pathways are highly redundant: up to four different repair pathways act together to prevent mutagenesis caused by the same cancer inducing agents. Using roundworms with 53 different DNA repair deficits, the researchers found out that a single mutagen may leave a variety of mutational signatures depending on the faulty repair system.
This study is particularly important because unmended mutations in specific parts of the DNA can lead to cancer. Since fundamental processes, such as DNA repair, are conserved throughout evolution, the team was able to use data derived from C. elegans to scan through thousands of human cancer genome sequences and find possible evidence for mutagenic events linked to faulty DNA repair systems.
Over the past years, mutational signatures of cancer have been deduced from computational analyses. Some of these signatures could be associated with suspected mutagenic causes, such as the exposure to UV light for melanomas, or exposure to aflatoxin for liver cancer. However, the cause of the majority of these mutational signatures observed in cancer is not known. In most cases, it is unclear if there is a direct one-to-one relationship between the mutational signatures and a single mutagen. This paper reports that mutational signatures are due to a combination of factors, 'offending' DNA damaging agents and cellular policemen that properly do their job most of the time, but in some cases allow culprits to escape.

Au premier étage, un grand salon , cuisine, buanderie , 2 terrasses, toiture refaite et isolation , double vitrage, granulés cuisinière , aspirateur centralisé .
Rez de chaussée zone de stockage de 110 m2 (ancien restaurant de crêperie) .
« La Galerie » opened in 1995 in a house built in the XVIIIth century. Th name comes from the last activity of the house. It was a contemporary art galery. The restaurant is located in the midle of the medieval city of Billom, where you can admire half-timbered houses from the XIVth and XVth centuries. A very rich architecture.
Why did I open a breton pancakes shop in Auvergne ?
There are three rooms in the restaurant, with different decors, warm colors. The decoration is inspired by the medieval soul of the area.
You can assist to the preparation of of the pancakes because the kitchen is opened in this room. You can also eat on one of the 5 tables in this first room.
A second room, cosiness, with walls of red lime, has got 3 tables. The last room, the « white one », has got 6 tables. We can accomodate for 44 persons.
And when the weather is nice, you can enjoy your meal outside, at the terrace of the restaurant, in a incredible decor !
My speciality is, of course the « nature buckwheat pancake » prepared with varied savours and ingredients so that everybody can find his favorite tastes.
Origin :Buckwheat, also called blackwheat, belongs to the « polygonacées »'s family. Its cousin is the sorrel. This plant comes from the Himalayas. It was cultivated in China in the 5th century.
Crusaders brought it back in France and Anne de Bretagne popularized its consummation.
Beneficial effects : Tonight, you are going to taste our pancakes of buckwheat. Your organism will be recharged with magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and potassium, without "gluten". An other benefit : the most important acids contained in the buckwheat give a better nutritious value to its proteins.
To make your mouth watered, here are some of the propositions of the menu.


The lunch menu at the Roca brothers' Barcelona restaurant is a worthwhile lighter option for business people or eager shoppers.
2018 Update: Roca Moo is now PERMANENTLY CLOSED.
Review: Roca Moo restaurant, Hotel Omm.
To get to Roca Moo you must first pass through the ground floor of the five-star Hotel Omm and skirt Roca Bar, which I have previously reviewed. As I noted on that occasion, the Omm is a very stylish place even by the standards of its category, full of casually but expensively dressed guests, and elegant staff who wear sharp black uniforms and radio mics in a well-drilled way.
Roca Moo continues that trend of tastefulness in a space dominated by an open kitchen/bar, separated from the Roca Bar only by some open bookcases. Here, a brigade of young chefs in fashionable beards cook directly in front of the diners. Other tables further back miss out on the show cooking but not the culinary fun; when I ate the full €110 Joan Roca tasting menu here a couple of years ago I was very impressed and fully understood why the restaurant had earned a Michelin star.
There's obviously a lot of prior preparation and lip-biting involved for the staff, who have to maintain a library-hushed poise of professional efficiency with no pressure-releasing swearing or throwing of things in bins. Instead, the cooking and plating is near-silent and slick, and it makes for engrossing entertainment despite the sad lack of temper tantrums. The cooking aromas are wonderful.
As well as the Joan Roca tasting menu and the €80 Classics menu (and the à la carte choices), Roca Moo also offers a €49 four-course lunch menu from Tuesdays to Fridays (holidays not included), which includes a glass of wine and coffee. These dishes are approved by the Roca brothers but are largely the creation of Moo head chef (and el Celler de Can Roca veteran) Juan Pretel.
To give me a better taste of the season's new dishes, the kitchen agreed to prepare extra courses from the lunch menu together with an impromptu wine pairing. This was the first day of the new season's menu and I was a willing guinea pig. The first thing I got was a plate.
Look, a plate! Painted with a beautiful design yes, but still fundamentally a white plate. This is A Good Thing. (Go and follow @wewantplates to see some of the most egregious examples). Roca Moo doesn't stick to plates throughout but it avoids the worst excesses of presentation in favour of keeping things classy.
An air-light brioche of suckling pig, a clever, spherified tortilla de patatas (Spanish omelette), and a twiglet-like palito dotted with salty and garlicky sauces started the lunch in style, paired with a glass of Gramona III Lustros cava.
A version of the classic Galician polbo à feira (not on lunch menu) saw the potatoes transformed into a cloud-like, almost egg-custardy puff with the tender, paprika-dotted octopus floating on top.
Homemade botifarra sausage made with escalivada (grilled vegetables) and anchovies over a crunchy polenta cracker, and drops of anchovy mayo, romesco and sweet black olive sauce was a very Catalan – and very enjoyable – new creation. Paired with a 2014 Cobero, Goyo García Viadero. V.T. Liébana.
Figs à la royale with foie soup and touches of manchego cheese stopped me in my tracks. A foie soup could have beeen unbearably rich but this was velvety perfection, poured at the table over the soft figs. A stand-out dish, paired well with an Ekam Essència 2010, Castell d'Encus, D.O. Costers del Segre Riesling.
Creamy rice cooked with a bisque of galeras (Mediterranean mantis shrimp) was also excellent, with plenty of crunch in the green beans, crispiness in the artichokes and chewiness in the grains. Seasoning was spot-on but the dish was a lemon-slice away from perfection, needing a hint of something to counter the richness. Paired with a Sasserra Vega de Ribes Penedes.
Corvina (my preferred translation of, er, corvina; who wants to eat something called 'meagre'?) cooked at low temperature with plankton "tagliatelle" and gelée of tomato water. Plankton is almost impossible to avoid in Barcelona fine dining restaurants, especially since the arrival on the scene of Ángel León in BistrEau and while I am yet to be rapturously moved by its qualities it was OK here. Wine was a Finca Viladellops 2013, D.O. Penedés Xarel·lo.
Pink Iberian secreto (a prized cut of pork from inside the shoulder), Santa Pau beans and a green "mojo" of cavolo nero, almonds and vinagre. The secreto benefitted from a kiss of smoke from the grill and the grassy undertones of the "mojo". The creamy carbohydrate of the beans was an obvious but ideal side. Paired with a 2011 Viñas del Cadastro, Olivier Rivière, D.O. Arlanza tempranillo/garnacha.
'Tea time' took my back home to England, with a floral Early Grey sorbet (a tea first created in my native Northumberland), lemon crunch, vanilla-flecked panna cotta and gingerbread. Gingerbread! 10/10 for this one, but I admit I may be biased… Pairing was an excellent Lustau Añada 1997 abocado Oloroso sherry.
Petits fours and coffee to finish.
If you are going to Roca Moo and funds permit, treat yourself and have the Joan Roca menu or the Classics menu. Both are wonderful, and they're the reason the restaurant has a Michelín star. The lunch menu, however, is intriguingly different. At €49 for four courses (plus snacks, petits fours, coffee and a drink), it's a more straightforward but equally high-quality assortment of dishes that represents great value for the level of cooking on offer. It's one of the reasons that Roca Moo is one of the few hotel-based one-stars where you'll regularly find locals going back as repeat customers.
This blog report isn't fully representative: I had all the dishes on offer, plus a few more, plus €49-worth of wine pairing, but this is my job. The standard menu would have been delicious and filling, but not so much that you couldn't face getting on with an afternoon of meetings, conference activities, shopping or sightseeing. Given the size of that potential business and tourist audience near Passeig de Gràcia, it's no surprise that Roca Moo is working hard to capture it.

Description: The pectoral fins of the albacore are very long, as much as 30% of the total length. The dorsal spines are 11 to 14 in number, and well forward of the rays of the dorsal fin. The anterior spines are much longer, giving a concave outline to the spiny part of the dorsal fin.
Similar Fish:Longfin, albies, pigfish, Pacific albacore, German bonito, longfin tunny, blackin tuna, yellowfin tuna, yellowtail amberjack, kawakawa and little tunny(aka false albacore).. or even just tuna.
Where Found: The distribution of albacore is cosmopolitan in subtropical and temperate waters of all oceans. Off the coast of North America, the distribution during summer and fall months may range from lower Baja California, northward to the Queen Charlotte Islands, Canada, and occasionally into the Gulf of Alaska.
Size: The largest albacore on record weighed 38.5 kg, although the average weight of individuals caught today is approximately 9-20 kg.
Tactics to catch: Methods of fishing include pole and line, long-line fishing, trolling, and some purse seining.
Climate (water temperature range): Albacore inhabits temperate oceans worldwide, being absent only from the warmest equatorial waters of the Pacific ocean.
Table food: Albacore is a prized food, Highly appreciated and marketed fresh, smoked, deep frozen or canned. Eaten steamed, broiled, fried and microwaved and albacore fishery is economically significant. It is also sought after by sport fishers.
Consumption Concerns:Albacore accumulates higher levels of mercury than other kinds of tuna, and some groups have urged testing and recall of canned albacore with high mercury levels. Long-line albacore are older fish and have accumulated more mercury than younger, troll-caught albacore. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises women of childbearing age and children to limit their consumption of albacore tuna (chunk white canned tuna) and tuna steaks to 6 ounces per week or less.
Feeding habits: The albacore feeds on mollusks and crustaceans such as fiddler crabs and barnacles; famed nibblers, prompting the saying that "anglers must strike just before they bite."
Remarks: Larger individuals are associated with cooler water bodies, while smaller individuals occur in warmer strata in the Atlantic. Check your current state for regulations and size limits.

SAN ANGELO, TX — The San Angelo Central Bobcats ride into the 2017 season on a high note, following a memorable, and winning 2016 season. This is true even though the season culminated despairingly at the hands of a 6A powerhouse, Allen High, located in the northeast side of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. However, that feeling may come with a few bumps for a team that returns just six starters to the team and a quarterback moving from receiver in junior Maverick McIvor. Despite the questions surrounding such an inexperienced team, the Bobcats are poised to defend their district 2-6A championship earned a year ago.
Offensively is where the Bobcats are likely to see little to no hiccups due to inexperience with five starters returning. As mentioned before, McIvor, the backup quarterback a year ago, transitions to the starting role for the 'Angry Orange'. "He's been raised to play quarterback," Crane said. "He's such a good athlete." While Maverick's time at the position was primarily limited to garbage time situations a year ago, McIvor's experience as a versatile receiver in 2016 will translate well when it comes to familiarity with the offense. McIvor also has the speed to be a true dual-threat quarterback for Central which will surely translate well in freeing up the Bobcat offense similar to how Cal Vincent did a year ago.
McIvor will have a solid receiving corps around him, especially with the transfer of Jesse Scott Jr. from Lake View. "[Jesse] may have more speed than we've had at that position in the past," Crane added. With the receivers around him, there's no doubt McIvor can thrive in the Bobcats' offensive system.
The biggest question this season, on offense, is who will take the handoffs for the Bobcats with Daven Manning gone? In 2016, Manning accounted for just over half of Central's rushing attempts in a running back group that featured three seniors. This year, it seems as though a battle in fall camp between senior Demarcus Cobb and junior Cody Parker will decide the starter for the Bobcats, with Cody Parker being the front runner.
The biggest upside, on defense, for Central is the fact they return an experienced group of players to their secondary. Seniors Smith, Severson, Jakobe Green, and Otto Haynes will head up the secondary for the Bobcats to hopefully halt any threats downfield from opponents.
This will be another great season for Central High School, despite the inexperience. They always do tremendously at cultivating group after group of athletes, no matter who left the year prior. However, Odessa Permian brings back a group of 17 starters and that experience will go a long way. Permian will hand Central their only loss of 2017 and the Bobcats will go 9-1 this season, finishing second behind the Panthers. However, the Bobcats could make another run to the third round or deeper in the playoffs this season.
Central opens up their 2017 campaign at Abilene High School on September 1 at 7:30 pm.

Q: Using random intercepts or z-standardizing within factors: Two identical ways to account for variance between factors? I have the following (simple?) question about statistics: I have a dataset where I look for correlations between variables and would like to control for differences between factor levels. For visualization, consider this example: N = 100 people perform 20 tasks and the time taken for each task serves as performance measure. I now wish to correlate the performance in these tasks with the people's IQ, which is also known. Here it seems reasonable to somehow account for differences between the tasks, and two ways to do this come to mind:

*

*I first z-standardize the performance measures in each task, then compute a simple correlation with IQ (possibly after aggregating data across tasks)

*I allow for a random intercept for each task in a linear mixed model predicting IQ
Are these approaches essentially identical or do they differ in any way?

(A similar topic was discussed here: Using z-standardization to account for covariate, but does not become clear in that discussion if options 1 and 2 in the example here can be seen as equivalent)

A: No, the approaches are not the same.

*

*$z$-scaling subtracts the mean and divides by standard deviation. Intercepts (random or fixed) only correct for the mean, they don't scale the data anyhow.

*Intercept is the mean when controlling for other variables in the model. It is not necessary the same as the arithmetic mean of the sample. This applies to the rest of the procedure as well: correlation does not control for other variables.

*With random intercepts, they are shrunk towards zero (as with $\ell_2$ regularization or using Gaussian prior with mean of zero). Again, they won't be the same as if you calculated arithmetic averages per each group.

Winners and losers from the Chicago Bears' Week 12 loss, including Jim McMahon's pregame segment, George Halas' legacy and Tarik Cohen's tweet
By Phil Rosenthal
While HBO was airing the finale of "The Undoing" on Sunday night, NBC had the thoroughly undone Chicago Bears, a team humiliated by the rival Green Bay Packers.
Imagine how bad the nationally televised prime time 41-25 beating would have been for the Bears if they hadn't had an extra week to prepare for Aaron Rodgers and company.
It wasn't just the usual offensive impotence from coach Matt Nagy's crew, this time with Mitch Trubisky back as the Bears starting quarterback. The defense wasn't anything to write home about, either.
NBC announcers Mike Tirico and Tony Dungy — and anyone not absolutely in love with Rodgers and the Packers — would have been better served rerunning last week's National Dog Show.
At least the dogs showcased there are competitive.
[Most read in Sports] 'We just folded. We straight up folded': 3 takeaways after the Chicago Bulls blow a 22-point lead in a 127-125 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder »
Poor Tirico was left to recall how Chicagoans chuckled last week when he talked about how the Bears, coming out of a bye week, remained playoff contenders and were poised for a potential statement performance against the Pack.
Yeah. That wasn't going to happen.
Instead, the Bears dropped their fifth straight game to fall to 5-6 with five games left in this increasingly dreary season.
Even though mathematical possibilities remain or a wild-card berth, dispirited Bears fans will now debate how much of a housecleaning will be necessary — and how quickly it should start.
Before moving on, let's review other winners and losers from this unhappy edition of NBC's "Sunday Night Football."
Winner: Al Michaels
The difference between the Bears and "Sunday Night Football" play-by-play man Al Michaels was it was announced ahead of time that Michaels wasn't going to show up at Lambeau Field.
Michaels scheduled Thanksgiving week as a personal bye week, sparing him the Sisyphean task of trying to sustain viewer interest in a game that went off the rails early.
Regular "SNF" analyst Cris Collinsworth also got out of the trip to Wisconsin. But he and Tirico are scheduled to work together on NBC's Baltimore Ravens-Pittsburgh Steelers broadcast, now penciled in for Tuesday night after two postponements because of COVID-19.
Loser: George Halas' legacy
Because of taxes, there's not as much incentive for the McCaskey family to sell the Bears as there ought to be, but can everybody please stop romanticizing how Bears founder George Halas' descendants still own the team? It's clearly not helping from a competitive standpoint.
If the McCaskeys want to honor Papa Bear's legacy, they should do what it takes to identify and bring in the best available people off and on the field and, you know, win championships.
[Most read in Sports] The Chicago Bears lost their news conference — and it was a blowout. Brad Biggs' 10 thoughts after the team's brass addressed the franchise's future. »
Other teams that don't encourage fans to sing songs celebrating their offensive scheme from 80 years ago seem to be able to do it. If you can't, maybe you need to bite the bullet and cash out. It's still a lot of money.
Winner: Aaron Rodgers
Setting aside his impressive play — he completed 21 of 29 passes for 211 yards and four touchdowns — Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers deserves praise for what NBC's microphones unexpectedly caught him saying.
Remember the dubious roughing-the-passer penalty called on the Bears' Bilal Nichols, who barely did anything to Rodgers on a first-down incompletion en route to Green Bay's second touchdown? Thanks to the greatly reduced crowd noise, perceptive viewers may have overheard Rodgers saying of the call, "I didn't ask for it!"
Unfortunately, the officials paid no heed to him or common sense.
Loser: November
As far as the Bears are concerned, November is pronounced with an accent on the "No."
[Most read in Sports] Javier Baez, Kris Bryant and Willson Contreras sign 1-year deals with the Chicago Cubs, avoiding arbitration »
Winless since Oct. 18, they were 0-4 for the month, the third time in the last five seasons they haven't won a game in November. (The Bears were 0-3 in both November 2016 and '17.)
They also, remarkably, haven't won their first game after a bye week since 2013.
Winner: Tarik Cohen
There was a lot of colorful language from a lot of people expressing displeasure with the Bears' performance on Twitter last night. (Give wrestling's Iron Sheik an especially wide berth.) But Bears running back Tarik Cohen, sidelined by injury, deserves points for his openness.
Tweeted Cohen: "Thought if I didn't watch we would play way better," followed by an expletive — mirroring the sentiments of a lot of Bears fans.
Loser: Idiot bettor
BetMGM tweeted a few hours before kickoff that someone bet $100,000 on the Bears' money line with an eye to win $320,000. That's how some people amuse themselves and perhaps whoever made the bet won't miss the money.
Winner David Montgomery
Not everything went horribly awry for the Bears. Receiver Allen Robinson was as reliable as usual and running back David Montgomery returned after a concussion that sidelined him.
Montgomery had five receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown, along with 103 yards rushing on 11 carries. His 57-yard gain on the Bears' second play from scrimmage offered an all-too brief ray of hope for fans.
"This was a great start for the Chicago Bears, exactly what they needed," NBC analyst Tony Dungy said, but the opportunity to take the lead instead ended with field goal and things puttered out after that.
Loser: Ian Happ
Cubs outfielder Ian Happ's attempt to rally support for Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky's return to the starting lineup was well-intentioned.
Happ's sweet tweet about how "tonight we are all" Trubisky fans and how people "love a redemption story" was all well and good until two of the Bears' first three drives ended with Trubisky turnovers.
Winner: Jim McMahon
Former Bears and Packers QB Jim McMahon narrated "Rebel with a Cause," one of two NBC intros produced for Sunday's matchup.
His brief overview of the long-standing rivalry was far more cogent than the bit narrated by John C. Reilly that halfheartedly suggested, then dismissed,ing the notion of combing the two franchises for a superteam.
McMahon's segment also served as a reminder that he wore a Bears jersey to the White House in 1997, when he visited with the Packers after their Super Bowl XXXI victory over the New England Patriots.
By the way, if you had 8:20 p.m. CT in the pool for when Tirico would refer to Bears quarterback great Sid Luckman, you're a winner!
Loser: Old style
Every Bears-Packers allusion to revered coaches George Halas and Vince Lombardi is a reminder how sad it is that every given Sunday is now casual Sunday in the NFL.
[Most read in Sports] Low-risk high school sports return in three regions, but basketball and football remain in limbo. 'Maybe the season gets pushed back,' IHSA says. »
Oh, for the days when head coaches wore overcoats and fedoras rather than the same garish team-branded merchandise that's peddled to fans.
The NFL, which loves to wrap itself in its history, needs to cut a deal with Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss or some other fashion house to clothe coaches better. You want the outfits to say, "We mean business," not "Could we get some extra napkins and more jalapeño poppers, please?"
Winner: Broncos-Bears jokes
The "they have no QB" cracks were all over social media after the Denver Broncos played their Week 12 game without any of their four quarterbacks. And they were more or less the same:
Broncos something something quarterback. Something something Bears.
You see, it's funny because it's true.

Healthcare consultant Barbara Tawney used StatTools and NeuralTools to figure out how to anticipate and prepare for surges in patient load in the Richmond Hospital System in Virginia. Each hospital has a finite number of beds, and unpredictable patient demand had resulted in two occasions when the system had reached capacity and patients had to be diverted.
Healthcare industry consultant Barbara Tawney had a tough task ahead of her. She needed to forecast patient loads for the entire metropolitan hospital system of Richmond, Virginia. Every hospital has a finite number of beds and therefore, a maximum capacity. But unpredictable patient demand throughout the system had resulted in two occasions when all nine hospitals in the system had reached capacity and patients had to be diverted to healthcare facilities outside the area. To figure out how to anticipate and prepare for surges in patient load, Tawney turned to Palisade's StatTools and NeuralTools data analysis products.
Tawney maintains an active consulting practice and is a Ph.D. candidate in the Systems and Information Engineering Department of the University of Virginia's School of Engineering and Applied Science. She specializes in data analysis––particularly large data sets––and could have easily written her own software for the patient load project. Instead, she began her work with Palisade's StatTools to tackle the mountain of data she was facing.
With the cooperation of Virginia Health Information (VHI), a non-profit organization that collects and warehouses all the healthcare data statewide, she was granted limited access to metropolitan Richmond patient data for the four years from 2000 to 2003. Time series data were derived from hospital billing information for about 600,000 patients being treated at area hospitals during 2000-2003. The patient level data (PLD) were detailed in 78 different fields, including dates of admission and discharge, diagnosis, and length of stay.
After she analyzed the historical data with StatTools, it was time for Tawney to predict future patient loads using NeuralTools. She began by "training" NeuralTools on the existing data. Additional daily, weekly, and event trends, along with unusual days, stood out during the NeuralTools analyses. For instance, Tawney determined that patient load peaked at mid-week during most weeks of the year. Holiday periods also have a different, distinctive pattern. The number of patients entering the hospitals just before and during the Thanksgiving holiday was lower than normal but was followed on Monday by an influx of patients that stretched the facility's resources. Similarly, patient load dropped markedly throughout the double holiday of Christmas and New Year's. But each year there was a significant surge in demand on the Monday-Tuesday of the first full week of the New Year.

Tons of internet users clearly want to view the Jorge Salinas and Anna Paul Leaked Video, as we've already delibrated. However, unlike other movies that can be found instantly on social media, internet users must use particular terms in order to find the video online.
This is due to the fact that the movie is unlike other movies that can be found instantly on social media. Customers can also access the website pages that connect to the explicit recordings directly. They have no other options besides this one. There aren't any alternatives available to them.
One of the Disney-starring movies that attracted a lot of attention is now among those that are progressively gaining in acceptance and spreading across numerous media.

Sustainable Skyscraper Enclosure
By: admin | March - 23 - 2016
2016 Skyscraper Competition
Soomin Kim, Seo-Hyun Oh
Modern cities have faced extreme changes due to developments of the Industrial Revolution and the urban sprawl caused by population increase. Artificial environment, cities, offered diversity of opportunities and new lifestyles which humans comforted with. However, this benefit jeopardized the balance and harmony of natural environment. Capitalism, while making possible these megacities, also brought severe side effects such as economic polarization and social imbalance. Once expected to guarantee prosperity of human lives, technics and systems, are now even considered as threats to the coexistence between human and natural environment, and human communities.
Architecture of the past reflected the overheated technologies in competition of developments and selfish gain of capital. However, as the question of coexistence and balance is brought to the surface nowadays, how will the generation's idea change this selfish gain and what kind of form will modern architecture will take as its phenotype? Today, 54% of the world population live urban based lives, megacities of population over 10 million keep increasing. Skyscrapers were born from the necessity to disperse dense complexity of horizontal cities by vertically expanding and reconstructing, in order to make a more effective use of scarce land. Moreover, many cities passionately competed in building more skyscrapers since they were often taken as outcomes of their economic success.
State of the art technology and highly concentrated capital turned New York into city of skyscrapers. The Empire State, completed in 1930 becoming the world's highest man-made structure, was imprinted into the mind of people as the symbol of prosperity and a great leap towards success. This piece of architecture visualized the harsh competing nature of capitalism itself, which is the driving force of the idea. Simultaneously, making scenery that even shows the severe polarization of capital, shabby slum streets of the city in contrast to the world's tallest building.
The urban areas in earth, which just account for just 1% of the Earth surface, uses 75% of the total energy, and responsible for 80% of green gas emission. It was found that NYC, which developed into the first megacity to have population more than 10 million in 1950, uses the most excessive energy and resources amongst all the megacities. UN predicts that by 2050, the world population will go over 9 billion. Cities will be overcrowded in due to accept this change in population, which makes experts believe that demand for skyscrapers will continue to increase. However, these demands are in contradiction with the social and environmental problems that could be caused if the megacities like NYC continue to spend energy and resources at this rate. Thus, to satisfy these demands, we need to have a sustainable model for a skyscraper.
If skyscrapers in the 20th Century followed the logic of development and growth, the new model should be following the law of recovery and coexistence. Currently most of the NYC's areas are already in use, and it would take a great deal of energy and resources to try starting over entirely. The model will use conventional buildings as resources, and it will find a new usage for them and give them purposes for the future using only the slightest efforts on building acts. The newly born buildings will use and self-produce eco-friendly energy in sustainable cycle, so that they can co-exist with the environment instead of opposing it. With the model, the capitals will have a new frontier in front of them as they implement shared values within the public, and the skyscrapers, once a symbol of polarization of capital and public, will make a transition to a symbol of co-existence.

Q: Can't pass Vue data into Vue component I can't seem to pass Vue data into Vue component from an inline template.
I'm getting this error instead:
vue.min.js: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'type' of undefined

Below is my example code that I'm using:

Vue.component('data-item', {
  props: ['food'],
  template:"
{{food}}
"
})

var content = new Vue({
  el: '#content',
  data: {
    value: 'hello value!'
  }
})

    <data-item  v-bind:food="value" inline-template></data-item>

A: You're trying to use inline-template without including an inline template.   inline-template replaces the template of the component with whatever is inside its DOM node; you're getting undefined because it's empty.
If you want to use inline-template:

Vue.component('data-item', {
  props: ['food'],
  template: "
This will be ignored in favor of the inline-template: {{food}}
"
})

var content = new Vue({
  el: '#content',
  data: {
    value: 'hello value!'
  }
})

    <data-item v-bind:food="value" inline-template>

I am the inline template: {{food}}

    </data-item>

If you want to use data-item's 'template' instead, just don't include inline-template on the element:

Vue.component('data-item', {
  props: ['food'],
  template:"
I am the component template: {{food}}
"
})

var content = new Vue({
  el: '#content',
  data: {
    value: 'hello value!'
  }
})

    <data-item v-bind:food="value">
      I am the contents of the DOM node, which will be
      replaced by data-item's template.
    </data-item>

A: you can use is attribute
   Vue.component('data-item', {
      props: ['food'],
      template:"
{{food}}
"
    })

    var content = new Vue({
      el: '#content',
      data: {
      value: 'hello value!'
      }
    })


Brown Note Productions, a premier video, lighting and audio production company based in the Denver, CO area, recently purchased four Panasonic AW-UE150 4K 60p integrated pan/tilt/zoom cameras, four AW-RP150 camera controllers and three AK-UC3000 4K/HD studio/field camera systems for newly-configured flypack systems. Brown Note specializes in full-service production for concerts, tours, music festivals and special events, as well as system integration and end-to-end show design.
According to Brown Note President Ryan Knutson, the company has extensively rented Panasonic PTZ and field cameras in the past, but given Brown Note's dramatic growth throughout its 15-year history--as well as its entry into the system integration business—it was an opportune time to invest in its own acquisition gear.
"Likewise capable of simultaneous 4K and 1080p output, the UC3000 field camera was the ideal choice for our studio bodies," he added.
Brown Note has already scheduled several assignments for the new Panasonic cameras, including national music festivals starting in May and several collegiate commencements. Brown Note will also utilize the UE150s and UC3000s for its touring and event clients throughout the year and beyond.
Knuston said that the projected implementation of the cameras would have the UE150s hung from trusses on stage, with the UC3000s used on tripods or handheld at the front of the house. Typically, the cameras will support IMAG to screens 50-feet or larger.
"We have been capturing about half of our projects in 4K, and I expect that percentage will only increase," Knutson said. "Beyond live production, we have also been recording events in 4K, with our clients using the footage for promos and archive.

This new flagship model PTZ features 4K/UHD 60p output and a wide horizontally viewing angle of 75.1 degrees (both firsts in their class), plus a 20x optical zoom/32x intelligent zoom (in HD mode).The UE150 is equipped with a large 1" MOS sensor and various 4K interfaces including 12G-SDI, HDMI, optical fiber and IP connectivity. The camera simultaneous outputs 4K and HD, assuring the right output for the production. The camera teams with the AW-RP150, a new touchscreen camera controller. Offering a 7" GUI LCD screen for monitoring and menu settings, the controller offers intuitive, single-hand operability with a joystick (with a seesaw lever for zoom or focus control).
Targeted at studios and productions requiring high-end functionality at an affordable price, the UC3000 (with the AK-UCU500 CCU unit) outputs a UHD signal (3840 x 2160 at 59.94p, 50p, 29.97p, 29.97PsF, 25p, 25PsF, 23.98p, 23.98PsF), while also delivering superb picture quality in HD. High dynamic range (HDR) is also possible for either HD or UHD images and there are no additional licensing fee requirements for UHD or HDR. The camera's B4 mount accommodates the gamut of existing 2/3-inch lenses to maximize customers' return on their investment in existing lenses, and it allows a wider and more economical choice of glass for sports, concerts and similar applications.

Prior to studying medicine, Stanford psychiatrist Rania Awaad, MD, studied Islamic law. As a local religious leader, she said that many people in her community are actually surprised to learn that she's also a physician.
However, this dual training is at the heart of Awaad's research and clinical work, which focuses on the mental health needs of Muslims. I recently spoke with her to learn more.
What are the mental health challenges faced by Muslims?
"In our recent sociopolitical climate, there's been quite a bit of negative focus on Muslims and other groups. And we have the highest level of hate crimes against Muslims ever in American history — about six times higher than post 9/11.
In the Bay Area, we have a consortium of mental health and general medical providers who are trying to figure out how Islamophobia — the fear of the Islam religion or Muslims — affects the general health of Muslims. So far, we've seen a lot of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Are there barriers to mental health care for your patients?
"There's a lot of paranoia about medical providers documenting their issues in an electronic medical record. They're afraid this medical information will be combined with a Muslim registry. Initially we told patients not to worry, because unconstitutional things like that don't happen here. But then the travel ban helped substantiated their fears.
What can you do to overcome these challenges?
"Mental health professionals can approach a patient's faith leader for a religious consultation. I help train chaplains and imams and I'm also teaching doctors to engage with faith leaders. For many people, their faith is a source of strength and support. So leaving that out completely means that you're not really providing adequate, holistic care.
How did you end up specializing in the mental health needs of Muslims?
"I thought I was going to be an ob/gyn. But during medical school, I married my husband who is an imam and a director of a nonprofit. At one point he told me what our community really needs is someone who can work in mental health, based on what he saw as a community leader. He inspired me to become a psychiatrist.
What are some other things you're working on?
"The SMMH Lab is part of a consortium that is studying the effectiveness of integrating faith concepts with therapy for different faith communities — Muslim, Jewish and Christian groups. We're using evidence-based, objective metrics like the depression inventory scale.
