In recent years carbohydrates have been considered friend and foe. During the fat-free phenomenon in the ninety's, bread and pasta were commonly promoted healthy choices for any meal. Then fad diets swung the opposite direction recommending more protein and low carbohydrates. Now many people are left to wonder if carbohydrates can be part of a healthy meal plan?
The short answer is, YES! Carbohydrates, like pasta, when enjoyed in the right portion size are part of a well-balanced meal plan. When it comes to pasta there are a few important factors to consider when implementing this wholesome food into a meal. Consider topping a serving of pasta with equal parts vegetables and protein. For example, 1/2 cup cooked whole wheat pasta pairs well with 1 cup of marinara meat sauce. Then serve that hot dish with a 2 cup serving of a green salad for a delightful well-balanced meal. Also, be mindful of pasta sauces that have high caloric concentrations. Here are three great recipes showing healthy ways to enjoy pasta.

Acoustics and coffee in Area 51
GVL / Meghan Landgren
Mary Racette
Area 51 in the Kirkhof Center was transformed into a quaint coffee shop for the night as the husband and wife duo Drakeford strummed their guitars beneath intentionally written lyrics.
The Coffee House Concert series is put on by the Campus Activity Board (CAB). As of last semester, the concerts were moved from the Cook-DeWitt Center to Area 51. CAB's Director of Live Music Terry Jones said they chose Area 51 because of its relaxing environment which allows people to come and go as they please. The first show of the semester was Drakeford on Tuesday, Feb. 4.
Lucy-Jayne Lanier, a Brit, and Drakeford Lanier, an American, were far from home when they crossed paths in the small Central Asian country Kyrgyzstan. They were both members of a traveling street performing group. Drake was getting his start as a folk artist and Lucy-Jayne joined the group as a dancer. Once they married in 2015, music became their full-time gig.
During the concert, they warmed the audience's hearts with a slice of their love story. Although they met on tour, there was a strict rule set by the team that kept them from dating. Since they were not even allowed to talk about how they felt, Drake got creative and wrote a song that expressed how he was feeling about Lucy-Jayne at this confusing time. When she first saw it, Lucy-Jayne said she was unsure but hopeful that the song was about her. This song is titled "Clarity" and they followed their story with a performance of it.
"Songwriting is basically just living and then reporting how life is going in a poetic way," Drake said.
The couple's faith is one of their main motivations to continue making meaningful music. While they do not play Christian music or perform in churches, they said there are parallels to the positive messages in their music and the values within their faith.
Drake said he hopes listeners feel encouraged when they hear their music. Themes present in their music promote an optimistic attitude and outlook on life.
"We actually write them (songs) to ourselves because we need to hear it. If it feels meaningful enough to be something that we want to be spoken to us, we want to speak that into other people too," Drake said.
Towards the end of the set, Drake paused and told the audience that he was going to play a song that he was not planning on playing. In fact, he said he rarely plays this song because it takes a certain kind of audience to listen to it the way it was intended to be listened to. Drake said that he saw the GVSU students as the kind of audience that was open to listen to and understand the messages he is trying to portray through the song's lyrics.
"Not everywhere you go is a listening environment where people are willing to listen to the words that you write," Drake said. "Tonight was incredible because there were a couple of moments where it got really quiet and there are some really intentionally written lyrics that I feel were communicated and received."
The duo's plan is to release new music in 2020. They are yet to record in the studio, but all of the songs are already written. The new music they plan to release is themed differently than a majority of their other songs. Lucy-Jayne said their last couple of years have been very difficult. The music they wrote during this time means a lot to them because it accurately reflects their reality and what they went through.
"We want to write songs that are real in any season we're in," Lucy-Jayne said.
Drakeford was the first Coffee House Concert of the semester, but there are more to come. In March, the band Sawyer will be next to perform at Area 51 for the concert series.

Cosmetic dentists are certainly the experts in fixing crooked smiles and dull teeth. Many people use dental enhancements to help create the sparkling smiles of their fantasies. Dentists can now fix almost any smile, thanks to the advanced technology in the cosmetic dentistry field. Now's the time to fix your broken smile swiftly, with little discomfort, and affordably.
Ugly and painful braces were worn in the past by people who were born with misaligned teeth. Now, a far more instant and painless solution is porcelain veneers, which create an excellent, straight smile. These are used all the time to cut down misaligned teeth and correct any open gaps.
Cosmetic dentists specialize in all kinds of procedures to create the perfect smile. Teeth whitening, inlays, and outlays are simple procedures that lighten and protect your teeth. Cracked or chipped teeth are no challenge at all to technologies like composite bonding or dental veneers. You could even have your missing teeth replaced with dental implants and your entire smile given a beautiful makeover.
Cosmetic dentistry is a specialization that can provide you with the smile you've always wanted, but never thought possible. Most procedures take very little time and are completely painless. Many dentists have also made such procedures easily affordable by giving financing plans that include monthly payments. Which means that you don't need to sacrifice all of your savings to have the smile you've always dreamed of.
You won't just have an interesting smile after seeing a cosmetic dentist. A straight smile also improves your facial symmetry. Your face may look more symmetrical after a cosmetic dental procedure, and your overall dental health will certainly improve. Both professional and amateur athletes who suffer from recurring joint and bone pain often visit cosmetic dental specialists for treatment.
When you have a chipped tooth, opt to have composite bonding done to address the problem. The procedure entails a special material resembling your natural enamel inserted into your tooth. The dentist then molds the composite material to the contours of the tooth and allows it to set and harden. This procedure has the power to reshape a tooth that has been broken or harmed by decay.
Thanks to technological advances, most cosmetic dentistry is now painless. Also, cosmetic dental treatments have been developed so much that they can be accomplished from beginning to end in one or two visits. You no longer need to fear long, painful treatments at your dentist's office. This is particularly true if you require more than a single treatment.

Q: Prove series task If $a_n > 0$, $a_{n+1} \le a_n$ for all $n \in N$ and $\sum \limits_{n =1}^{\infty} a_n $converges, then $\lim \limits_{n \to \infty} na_n = 0$
I think, we can say that $a_n = O(\frac{1}{n^\alpha}), \alpha > 1$, so for every member of the sequence $a_n < \frac{c}{n^\alpha}$ and then $\lim \limits_{n \to \infty} na_n = \lim \limits_{n \to \infty} n O(\frac{1}{n^\alpha}) = \lim \limits_{n \to \infty} O(\frac{1}{n^{\alpha - 1}}) = 0$
But is this evaluation correct and how to prove it?

A: For each $n>0$,
let $S_n=\sum_{k=0}^n a_k$ and $v_n=na_n$.
as$(a_n)$ is positive and decreasing, we have
$$na_{2n}\leq (a_{n+1}+a_{n+2}+...a_{2n})$$
$$\implies 0\leq na_{2n}\leq (S_{2n}-S_n).$$
$\sum a_n $ converges $\implies (S_n)$ converges
$$\implies  \lim_{n\to+\infty} (S_{2n}-S_n)=0$$
$$\implies \lim_{n\to+\infty}na_{2n}=0$$
$$\implies \lim_{n\to+\infty}v_{2n}=0$$
by exactly the same approach, and using $\lim_{n\to+\infty}a_n=0$ , we prove that $v_{2n+1} \to 0$ .

POLL: Would you back your town or city adopting a London-style ULEZ?
Mike Graham fumes over ULEZ extension
Low-emission zones help to reduce the harmful impact of cars on the atmosphere and encourage sustainable transport alternatives. Last week London Mayor Sadiq Khan announced that the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) would be expanded to the entire capital, after previously being restricted to the centre of the city. But would you back your town or city adopting a similar scheme? Vote in our poll.
The Labour mayor opted to extend the ULEZ from central London to cover all boroughs from August 29, 2023. Mr Khan said the expansion from the heart of the city to boroughs within the north and south circular roads last October, had been "transformational" in reducing pollution levels.
He explained: "The ULEZ so far has been transformational, reducing harmful pollution levels by almost a half in central London.
"But there is still far too much toxic air pollution permanently damaging the health of young Londoners and leading to thousands of early deaths every year, with the greatest number of deaths in the outer London boroughs."
He added: "Expanding the ULEZ London-wide will mean five million more people will be able to breathe cleaner air and live healthier lives."
Mr Khan made the decision despite consultation showing "overwhelming" opposition. Public consultation showed 60 percent opposed the move, including 70 percent in outer London and 80 percent of businesses.
The scheme has been criticised as daily non-compliant drivers in the capital – all petrol cars older than 2005 registration and diesel cars older than 2015 – will face an annual charge of £4,562.50
Conservatives in the Greater London Assembly condemned the move, warning it could still be stopped by a legal challenge.
Nick Rogers, the GLA Conservatives' transport spokesperson, said: "Now is not the time to hammer Londoners with a £12.50 daily cost of living charge. Residents have made their views very clear to the mayor: they do not want the ULEZ expansion."

Across the nation several low-emission zones – known as clean air zones (CAZs) have been launched to penalise highly polluting vehicles based on their Euro emission standard. Within designated areas, non-compliant vehicles will be charged an additional fee to help improve air quality and reduce emissions.
This week Bristol became the latest city to adopt a CAZ, with some private petrol and diesel cars, taxis, LGVs, HGVs, buses and coaches all facing daily charges from £9 to £100.
Mayor of Bristol, Martin Rees, has praised the benefits of the scheme to help reduce pollution rates in the city. He said: "This is an important step on our journey to cleaner air and creating a healthier future for everyone in Bristol."
He continued: "We need to reduce harmful pollution in the city and reach the legal limits set by Government in the shortest time possible, but we also want to give those who need it, a bit more time to prepare. That could mean upgrading or changing a vehicle or trying out different and more sustainable ways to travel instead."
So what do YOU think? Would you back your town or city adopting a ULEZ? Vote in our poll and leave your thoughts in the comment section below.

Baxter Co. joins wellness program trend
Becomes latest local employer to adopt preventative care for 170 workers
Baxter Co. joins wellness program trend Becomes latest local employer to adopt preventative care for 170 workers Check out this story on baxterbulletin.com: http://www.baxterbulletin.com/story/news/local/2014/11/18/wellness-program-baxter-county/19239581/

To combat insurance premium increases, Baxter County recently announced the implementation of an employee wellness program as part of a growing national trend toward preventative care initiatives. (Photo: File )
With the Affordable Care Act, some government employers say they anticipate a higher cost of health coverage for employees. But to combat insurance premium increases, Baxter County recently announced the implementation of an employee wellness program as part of a growing national trend toward preventative care initiatives.
The program asks all Baxter County employees to complete an annual wellness exam. According to County Clerk Canda Reese, the county employs around 165-170 full-time workers.
She says anyone who works 32 hours or more per week will reap the benefits, which includes health insurance that "currently requires no employee contribution" — and the county hopes to keep it that way with the new wellness program.
Baxter County Clerk Canda Reese. (Photo: File)
"Employers all around us ... have all experienced increases in the premiums that they have to pay for the employees' health insurance," Reese said. "At Baxter County, as an employer, we had anticipated the same thing."
Through its brokerage company, BankcorpSouth, the county now has a deal with Blue Cross to offer the wellness program. Considered a voluntary program, those who participate must complete a wellness exam with a physician and have their physician sign an attestation form by Sept. 30, 2015, and every year after.
The wellness exam, like most preventative care under the federal health care law, is covered fully by insurance.
Wellness programs are becoming more common in the workplace, encouraging preventative care. Around half of U.S. employers offer a wellness program, or something similar, according to a 2013 study sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor and Department of Health and Human Services.
"It helps by identifying conditions people may or may not have known that they had."
Baxter County Clerk Canda Reese
"I know it's certainly a growing trend that insurance providers are requesting and requiring employers to implement wellness programs, because it helps contain their medical costs," Reese said. "It helps by identifying conditions people may or may not have known that they had."
However, those who choose to opt out of the annual wellness exam, "will be responsible for paying, through payroll deduction, the full amount of any increase in their health care premium, not to exceed 5 percent of the total premium, incurred by the county for the following calendar year beginning January, 1, 2016," according to a letter written for Baxter County employees.
Premium increase for Marion County employees
Like Baxter County, Marion County also pays 100 percent for its employees' health care coverage with Blue Cross Blue Shield.
(Photo: File)
According to County Judge Terry Ott, however, Marion County's health insurance costs recently increased by 24.5 percent, partly because of ACA, but mostly due to a few high claims.
"It will cost us right now, if we keep the same benefits that we have, it will cost us $75 per person, per month more. That's what it will cost the county," Ott said.
In Marion County, more than 100 full-time employees receive health care benefits, but no wellness program is included.
"As far as I know, we don't have anything to that nature in place now, but we encourage employees to go once a year and have a checkup," Ott said.
JP questions legality of wellness program opt-out
The Baxter County personnel committee met before a budget meeting Monday to discuss three items on its agenda, including the new wellness program.
"I am against taking money away from them because they do not visit a doctor when they're not sick. All wrong, illegal, as far as I'm concerned."
Gary Tennison, Baxter County Justice of the Peace
Justice of the Peace Gary Tennison, representing District 6, raised a question concerning the legality of the opt-out option.
"Over and over again, I keep emphasizing that I have never been against the wellness program," Tennison said during the meeting. "I am against taking money away from them because they do not visit a doctor when they're not sick.
"All wrong, illegal, as far as I'm concerned."
Tennison also questioned the implementation of the wellness program.
After some discussion, the committee tabled the wellness program discussion for a legal opinion.
"Mr. Tennision has also submitted this information to the county attorney and he will be getting an answer," County Judge Mickey Pendergrass noted, adding the program doesn't have to be approved by the quorum court.
"The reality of that situation is that Baxter County is one of the few employers in this area who continues to pay 100 percent of the premiums for all of our employees' health care insurance," Reese said. "In order to be able to continue to do that, we have to put steps in place that help contain the costs to the county so that we can continue to provide that benefit to our employees."

In 2009, as a result of the recession, the City replaced the pet waste dispensers at various parks and trails with "self-fill" dispensers, which resulted in significant and annual savings in both material costs and time resources. The "self-fill" dispensers were designed to be re-stocked by pet owners with bags such as plastic grocery bags and newspaper bags.
On November 8, 2016, California voters approved Proposition 67, the Statewide Single-Use Carryout Bag Ban. As a result, SB 270 was in effect and most grocery stores, retail stores with a pharmacy, convenience stores, food marts, and liquor stores no longer were able to provide single-use plastic carryout bags to their customers. Due to this regulation and limited supply of plastic bags, the "self-fill" pet waste dispensers in City parks and trails were not getting filled and used.
Additional pet waste dispensers will be installed progressively in many parks and trails in the City.

Navi Pillay
The UN's human rights commissioner explains why she believes arming the Syrian opposition will escalate the violence.
Talk to Al Jazeera 05 Mar 2012 14:37 GMT Politics, Bahrain, Russia, South Africa, Syria's Civil War
During one of the most difficult recent days in the Syrian city of Homs, when the government assault on the opposition was especially intense, a person in the beleaguered city was quoted by a newspaper asking for someone, anyone, to help. "Where is the United Nations?" he asked.
That voice - and many similar voices - is the concern of Navi Pillay, the United Nation's high commissioner for human rights. Based in Geneva, her mandate is to protect human rights around the world.
Her role - as a sort of conscience of the international community - often puts her in the crosshairs of politics and morality. It is a role that is familiar to Pillay, who fought against the apartheid regime in her home country, South Africa.
It was her recent speech at the United Nations, in which she called for action against Syria and implored world leaders to hear the cries for help of Syrians, that brought her particular attention.
It is with this topic that her interview with Talk to Al Jazeera begins, as she explains to Al Jazeera's Sami Zeidan why she does not believe it is a good idea to arm the Syrian opposition.
"Any kind of provision of military equipment to the opposition, in my view, will escalate the violence and not lead to the goal we are trying to achieve," Pillay explains.
"I think that countries should be focusing their energy on achieving a peaceful resolution here, and to ensure that the root causes are addressed ... and supplying arms to a few individuals is not going to help that situation .... As I see it, it's not the role of outsiders to arm one group or the other."
Pillay also discusses the human rights situation in Bahrain, Russia and Iran. On the topic of a possible attack on Iran, she says: "My concern is any kind of military strike will have enormous negative impact on the population, on civilians. They will be caught up in the strikes wherever they come from and if they are returned, and I fear that there will be a huge loss of civilian life. That should be the consideration of anyone contemplating a military strike."

This morning, Pokemon announced the rules for the upcoming VGC 2016 Season. Essentially, it expands on the 2015 format by allowing all Legendary Pokemon (but not Mythical/Event Only Pokemon), in a throwback to VGC 2010.
We saw this format early in 2015 with the Generation Showdown tournament, and that is where I'd get my information from for ideas about the early metagame's shape.
I also made a team report from the Generation Showdown on Nugget Bridge, which is what forms my limited experience with the format being that I wasn't around for VGC 2010 - a lot has changed in 6 years at any rate.
While at first announcement I'm not particularly happy about the format, especially given that it's not practicable on Battle Spot currently, and it has high barriers to entry, it will be fun seeing everyone dropped in the deep end when it comes to teambuilding and archetype creating. While the format will be warped around the high powered legendaries, there's lots of room for invention here I feel.
I expect Double Genies won't be going away any time soon, and that we will see a lot of Groudon and Mega Rayquaza, at least initially. Dialga is pretty strong thanks to its typing and stats, but I think it will take some time for it to really take off as initially I feel the lure of Mega Rayquaza and the Primals will be rather large. Unfortunately for Zygarde, I don't think a game where its 100% form will be available will be out while this format is still live.
Many other Legends will be squeezed out by the Hoenn trio I think - From Kalos, Xerneas is threatening but needs support thanks to its abysmal coverage, Yveltal is good without being outstanding. I'm not convinced on Mewtwo, but it has amazing stats, same with Ho-oh and Lugia - the latter of which is amazingly bulky, but I'm not sure how useful its support moves are in competition with Cresselia and taking up a Legend slot. Palkia is an unknown quantity for me, but certainly strong and resistant to both Primals. Reshiram and Zekrom are again strong, but I think they're squeezed out a bit for the legend slots, and Kyurem, particularly Black Kyurem, has a place as being able to take on all three from Hoenn, but I'm not sure what that place is exactly at the moment.
To repeat my first paragraph, Double Genies are certainly not going anywhere, weather will be dominant, but not with Charizard Y, Abomasnow, Politoed and Tyranitar, and moves like Skill Swap, Worry Seed and Gastro Acid will all have big uses. I also expect to see a bit more use of Shadow Tag around. Kangaskhan is still strong, but also faces a lot of competition power wise now, and there are many more bulky things able to take its attacks too.
We'll see a bit more as the metagame develops.
Stay tuned as I will try to make cool teams and show them off here if I think they're good.

About SIDM
Catch up on the latest articles covering the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine (SIDM) and the work we're doing to eliminate harm from diagnostic error.
Diagnosis errors account for one-third of severe harm malpractice claims
Modern Healthcare - About 34% of medical malpractice claims over a 10-year period that resulted in permanent injury or death to a patient were caused by diagnostic errors, according to a new study. The study was funded by the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine, a not-for-profit organization focused on convening healthcare stakeholders to prevent diagnostic errors. The research was published in the society's peer-reviewed journal, Diagnosis.
Doing Harm in American Health Care: The Case of Misdiagnosis
Managed Care Magazine - By some counts misdiagnosis leads to up to 80,000 hospital deaths each year—and results in billions in wasted medical spending. Lack of feedback and miscommunication are among the causes. Researchers, advocates, and others are pushing for changes and 'diagnostic excellence.'
Working as a Team to Improve Diagnosis
Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation - In 2015 the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine delivered their seminal report on the current state of diagnostic errors, concluding that most people will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime, sometimes with devastating consequences. The report also delivered eight major recommendations on how to potentially improve diagnosis, one of which was to improve the education of all health care providers. Together with four medical schools and their partner health professional schools, the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine (SIDM)—with support from the Macy Foundation—is taking the first steps towards developing a new curriculum to educate health professionals about how to improve diagnosis.
Her Cancer Went Undetected, Now This Grandmother Wants to Help Others Get the Right Diagnosis
Hudson Star-Observer - [Lisa] Drummond is among the untold number of Americans affected by a medical diagnostic error each year. Exactly how many is difficult to determine. "There isn't a single health care organization in the country that's measuring their diagnostic performance," said Dr. Mark Graber, chief medical officer of the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine.
Coalition Tackling Diagnostic Errors Gains Some Traction
Modern Healthcare - Diagnostic errors are one of the most common mistakes in medicine, affecting 1 in 20 adults, according to research published in BMJ. They were also the leading cause of malpractice claims, accounting for about 29% of total suits from 1986 to 2010. Despite the prevalence of such errors, more attention has been paid to other types of clinical mistakes, such as central line and other healthcare-acquired infections.
'Widespread and Dangerous': Facing Medical Uncertainty, Some Doctors Tell Patients It's All in Their Heads
CNN - Dr. Mark Graber, president emeritus of the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine, added, "It's a tendency that physicians have when they can't find a physical cause. "It's bad. It's very bad." Graber, who is also professor emeritus of medicine at the Stony Brook University in New York, said part of the problem is that medical students are taught that physical symptoms sometimes have a psychological basis. That's true, he said, but doctors need to thoroughly test for physical problems before defaulting to a psychiatric diagnosis.
How to Check Your Medical Records for Dangerous Errors
CNN - Susan Sheridan discovered this nearly 20 years ago after her husband, Pat, had surgery to remove a mass in his neck. A hospital pathology report identified synovial cell sarcoma, a type of cancer, but somehow the report didn't reach his neurosurgeon. Instead, the surgeon reassured the couple that the tumor was benign. Six months later, when Pat returned to the hospital in distress, this error of omission was discovered.
A Neurologist Takes on Medical Misdiagnoses at the Helm of the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine — and Elsewhere
Neurology Today - In 2011, Dr. Newman-Toker joined the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine as a founding board member; in November, he became the fast-growing organization's second-ever president. It's his newest leadership role in nearly two decades focused on eliminating harm from diagnostic errors.
Coverys Community Healthcare Foundation Funds 11 Innovative Projects
Coverys - In 2018, Coverys Community Healthcare Foundation committed $3 million to fund development of new approaches for faster, more accurate patient diagnoses. The Foundation focused on innovative projects that utilize fresh perspectives, data-driven insights, and new ways of thinking about diagnosis. Close attention was paid to projects with significant potential to help improve outcomes for patients and their families.
The Problem of Misdiagnosis in Lyme Disease
Lymedisease.org - LymeDisease.org is a patient partner with SIDM's Patients Improving Research in Diagnosis (PAIRED) project. We value the opportunity to work with this group to amplify patient concerns about how misdiagnosis and delays in diagnosis harm patients.
40+ Healthcare Groups Form Coalition to Improve Accuracy, Speed of Medical Diagnosis
Becker's Hospital Review - "Providing an accurate medical diagnosis is complex and involves uncertainty, but it's obviously essential to effective and timely treatment," said Paul L. Epner, CEO and co-founder of SIDM, in a news release. "Nearly everyone will receive an inaccurate diagnosis at some point in their life and for some, the consequences will be grave. Major improvement is needed to systematically identify how to improve diagnostic quality and reduce harm to patients."
Geisinger, Intermountain, Others Form Coalition to Address Diagnostic Errors
Modern Healthcare - The coalition, called ACT for Better Diagnosis and led by the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine, will focus on identifying the main causes of diagnostic errors and working toward solutions. The coalition is the largest effort to focus on the issue to date. The Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine formed a similar coalition in 2015 but it only included 14 organizations.
6 Factors that Enable Diagnostic Errors
Health Leaders - A coalition of more than 40 patient and provider advocacy organizations on Thursday unveiled a two-year initiative to identify and address diagnostic errors in hospitals, which by some estimates kill as many as 80,000 people each year and are the leading cause of malpractice lawsuits.

Moses said, 'The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you.
Moses said, 'The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among your own people. Listen carefully to everything he tells you.'
What does Acts 3:22 mean?
For Moses truly said unto the fathers
The Jewish fathers, the Israelites in the times of Moses. The Ethiopic version reads, "our fathers". This phrase, "unto the fathers", is left out in the Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions, and in the Alexandrian copy: the passages referred to are in ( Deuteronomy 18:15 Deuteronomy 18:19 ) a prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you:
which is not to be understood of a succession of prophets, as some of the Jewish writers F3 think; for the Jews never had a constant succession of prophets, and those they had, were not like to Moses: but of a single prophet, and so the Targums or Onkelos and Jonathan understood it; but not to be applied to Joshua, as some F4, or to Jeremiah F5 as others, or to David F6; but to the Messiah, and which is the Lord Jesus Christ, who answers to all the characters: he was a prophet in every sense, who brought a revelation of the divine will, taught the way, and explained the Scriptures of truth perfectly, and foretold things to come; he was raised up by the Lord God of Israel, and was anointed by his Spirit, and sent by him, and that to the people of the Jews, to the lost sheep of the house of Israel; he was the minister of the circumcision: of your brethren;
in the Hebrew text in ( Deuteronomy 18:15 ) it is also said, "out of the midst of thee"; but as these phrases are synonymous, the apostle here only retains one of them, which suggests that this prophet, the Messiah, should be of Jewish extract; as Jesus was, of the seed of David, and a son of Abraham: like unto me;
that is, to Moses, who is, the person speaking, between whom and Christ there is an agreement; the law was given by Moses, and the Gospel came by Christ; Moses was a mediator between God and the people of Israel, and Christ is the Mediator between God and men; Moses, under God, was an instrument of redeeming the people of Israel out of Egypt, and Christ, he is the Redeemer of his people from sin, Satan, and the law, and all their enemies: the Jews F7 have a common saying,
``as was the first Redeemer, so shall be the last Redeemer;''
and they moreover observe F8, that,
``as Israel was redeemed in the month Nisan, so they shall be redeemed in the month Nisan;''
in the future redemption by the Messiah: let the Jews abide by this; the Messiah Jesus suffered in the month Nisan, and obtained eternal redemption for his people: one of their F9 writers has a notion, that when the Messiah comes, there will be the same disposition of the constellations, as when Moses brought the people out of Egypt, and gave them the law; and that the conjunction will be of Jupiter and Saturn, in the constellation Pisces: there was likewise between Moses and Christ, an agreement in the miracles they wrought, and in other things: him shall ye hear in all things, whatsoever he shall say unto you:
all his doctrines are to be believed, embraced, and professed; and all his commands are to be obeyed, and all his ordinances submitted to; and this is hearing, or hearkening, to him in all things, delivered or enjoined by him.

BGT goes off air
Tuesday, May 29th, 2018 12:58am
Britain's Got Talent went off air for almost 15 minutes in a technical blunder.
Viewers were left looking at a blank screen after the show disappeared due to a fault.
An ITV announcer said: "We're having some issues – we hope to return to the show as soon as possible.
"We hope to return as soon as possible and we are working to fix the issue."
Bosses had to show old footage of auditions to fill the gap.
After almost 15 minutes, BGT finally returned and host Declan Donnelly had to apologise for the mishap.
He blamed the issues on the bad weather in London.
Dec said: "Welcome, back the weather has caused some technical difficulties so apparently some of you didn't get the first part of this episode at home."
Simon Cowell then made a joke, poking fun at Dec's missing presenting partner Ant McPartlin and blaming him for taking the show off-air.
He said: "I was just going to say, Ant you are coming back next year, you didn't have to do that."
This year's live shows are coming from the Hammersmith Apollo in London.
It's the first time the series has ever come from a location other than a TV studio.

The axial N-base has minor influence on Co–C bond cleavage in cobalamins
Kasper Planeta Kepp, Ulf Ryde
We have investigated the properties of cobalamin complexes with imidazolate using the density functional B3LYP method, In particular, we have compared imidazolate (Imm) with imidazole and 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB), and studied how constraints in the axial Co-N bond length may affect the strength of the Co-C bond. The results show that the optimum Co-N-Imm bond is similar to0.2 Angstrom shorter than that of imidazole. There is no indication from crystal structures that the histidine ligand would be deprotonated in the enzymes. However, it is likely that it attains some imidazolate character through its hydrogen bond to a conserved aspartate residue. The Co-N bond with imidazolate is three times more rigid than that with imidazole or DMB, but twice as flexible as the Co-C bond. Constraints in the Co-N-Imm bond length give rise to a larger change in the corrin conformation than imidazole, but smaller than for DMB. The resulting effect for the Co-C bond dissociation energy is larger for imidazolate than for imidazole or DMB. However, even the largest reasonable distortion can only enhance catalysis by 15 kJ mol(-1). Therefore, we conclude that, irrespective of the nature of the N-base, constraints in the axial Co-N bond lengths cannot be the main reason for the catalytic power of cobalamin enzymes.

N2 - We have investigated the properties of cobalamin complexes with imidazolate using the density functional B3LYP method, In particular, we have compared imidazolate (Imm) with imidazole and 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB), and studied how constraints in the axial Co-N bond length may affect the strength of the Co-C bond. The results show that the optimum Co-N-Imm bond is similar to0.2 Angstrom shorter than that of imidazole. There is no indication from crystal structures that the histidine ligand would be deprotonated in the enzymes. However, it is likely that it attains some imidazolate character through its hydrogen bond to a conserved aspartate residue. The Co-N bond with imidazolate is three times more rigid than that with imidazole or DMB, but twice as flexible as the Co-C bond. Constraints in the Co-N-Imm bond length give rise to a larger change in the corrin conformation than imidazole, but smaller than for DMB. The resulting effect for the Co-C bond dissociation energy is larger for imidazolate than for imidazole or DMB. However, even the largest reasonable distortion can only enhance catalysis by 15 kJ mol(-1). Therefore, we conclude that, irrespective of the nature of the N-base, constraints in the axial Co-N bond lengths cannot be the main reason for the catalytic power of cobalamin enzymes.

AVIOM'S DIGITAL SNAKE AND PERSONAL MIXERS BRING CLARITY TO SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH'S CURRENT AND FUTURE BROADCASTS
LOS ANGELES, CA, OCTOBER 26, 2009— Second Baptist Church in Los Angeles, CA, (SBCLA) is ensuring its services in the sanctuary, on the radio and, soon, for broadcast ring out loud and clear with Aviom's Pro64® digital snake and Pro16® personal mixers ...
LOS ANGELES, CA, OCTOBER 26, 2009— Second Baptist Church in Los Angeles, CA, (SBCLA) is ensuring its services in the sanctuary, on the radio and, soon, for broadcast ring out loud and clear with Aviom's Pro64® digital snake and Pro16® personal mixers (WFX Booth 1124). Recognized as one of the last locations where Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke, as well as one of the oldest churches in LA, Second Baptist Church has a strong reputation in the community and looks to maintain that reputation in every element of its services. The addition of the Aviom Pro64 system solves the church's many acoustic problems, streamlines stage to console signal routing and paves the way for a plug-and-play future for television production.
"Second Baptist Church was using the same system that was installed probably 15 or 16 years ago, and it was not operating the way the church wanted it to," explains Rick Boot, contractor and systems designer with LA-based Audio Production and Design Services LLC, employed by Second Baptist Church to develop a new audio setup as part of a larger renovation project. "Acoustically, the church is a very challenging space. Although it's small, it's very live. The system that was in there wasn't adequate, and getting pristine live sound in the sanctuary itself for the services, as well as for other distributed areas in the church was becoming more difficult. The Aviom digital snake with the personal mixing systems has cleared up many of the problems. Although a large following comes to church on Sundays, a considerably larger following—around 40-60 thousand people in the LA area—listen to it on the radio. The addition of the Aviom system has made a big difference with our live radio mix as well."
Boot was familiar with Aviom before beginning work on the SBCLA upgrade, having previously used the personal mixing system in a number of theatrical events. Boot specified the Pro64 system for the audio connectivity in SBCLA after hearing the sound quality and seeing the simplicity and flexibility firsthand.
"Whether you're using the personal mixers or the digital snake for a broadcast feed, something very important to mention is that the church is dealing with volunteers and people that are not really audio engineers," Boot says. "Basically with the Aviom equipment, we're making everything as simple as possible and still getting a very high quality audio output."
The Pro64 snake gives SBCLA the flexibility it needs to integrate both its current systems and its planned expansion. The system uses two 6416Y2 A-Net® cards installed in the church's 48-channel Yamaha digital console at front of house, fed by two 6416m Mic Input Modules located on stage with one handling voice and one handling instruments for 32 inputs. The audio coming into the console via the Pro64 digital snake is then split and sent to the additional 16 channels on the 48-channel Yamaha board to be used for the radio mix. Typically, the vocal channels receive additional processing and EQ to tailor the signal for radio, while the instruments are sub-mixed into the radio feed.
One 6416Y2 A-Net card also provides the feed for the church's A-16II Personal Mixers through an Aviom ASI Pro64 to Pro 16 interface and A-16D A-Net Distributor. The other 6416Y2 card also sends mix outputs to the stage and the amp rooms to one of the church's two 6416o Output Modules. From there the audio is distributed to the additional monitors on stage, the center PA speakers in the church as well as the speakers in the sanctuary's balcony.
While radio broadcasts are an important element of SBCLA's current programs, the church plans to add a TV broadcast as well as DVD capabilities. The Pro64 system will be used to provide audio to these new facilities as well using the second 6416o module once the expansion to television broadcast is complete.
"The Pro64 digital snake allows us to split everything two, three different ways without any copper," continues Boot. "Having the ability to just plug in another console and get a monitor split or a broadcast split was very appealing. The key to the system is the combination of performance and simplicity. Those who are running the system don't have to deal with a lot of gear or have an in-depth understanding of it so basically it's a set-and-forget kind of thing. The Aviom system, along with the rest if the setup at Second Baptist Church, is very straightforward, very easy. We're making it simple, and we're still getting a very high quality."
Aviom pioneered personal mixing with its Pro16® Monitor Mixing System and continues to break new ground with the revolutionary Pro64® Series of audio networking products. With tens of thousands of products in the field today, Aviom has set the standard for high performance, scalable digital solutions. All Aviom systems harness the power of A-Net®, Aviom's innovative digital audio technology that simplifies system design while enhancing flexibility and fidelity. All Aviom products are designed, tested, and manufactured in the USA.

Q: Changing Character base on the given integer? I am trying to change the given integer to a character
for example:
N = 5;
result = +-+-+;

Right now I am having a hard time implementing this
What I have tried so far is this
    public void Main()
    {
        int integer;

        Console.WriteLine("How many strings : ");
        integer = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

        ChangeCharacter(integer);
    }

    public void ChangeCharacter(int A)
    {
        string p = "+";
        string m = "-";
        Console.WriteLine("Printing : " + A + " strings");

        for(int i = 0 ; i < A ; i++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(p,m);
        }
    }

the result is only : + + + + + it is not including the - sign
I am just new to c# and I am taking a coding exam to build my logic more . Sorry for my bad english because it is not my mother tongue.

A: correct  like this :
 for(int i = 0 ; i < A ; i++)
    {
        if(i%2==0)
           Console.Write("+");
        else
           Console.Write("-");

    }

A: If you prefer a one-liner, LINQ would do the job as well:
int n = 5; // Expect: +-+-+

Console.WriteLine(new string(Enumerable.Range(0, n).Select(x => x % 2 == 0 ? '+' : '-').ToArray()));

Explanation
new string(
  Enumerable.Range(0, n) // Generate n integers start from 0
    .Select(x =>         // for each integer,
      x % 2 == 0         // if it's even
      ? '+'              // return +
      : '-'              // otherwise -
    ).ToArray()          // convert selected characters into character array
  )
);

Men and millennials are the least likely to tip — but the most generous when they do, survey finds
By Kelly Taylor Hayes
Survey: Men and millennials least likely to tip
Among all restaurant diners in the survey, the median tip was found to be 18 percent.
CINCINNATI - Tipping is a large part of the American service industry and an expectation when dining out at a restaurant or getting a haircut at the salon — but some groups of people are better than others when it comes to leaving gratuity.
According to a new survey by CreditCards.com, women and baby boomers are the most likely to leave a tip when compared to men and millennials.
Men and millennials, on the other hand, were found to be more generous when they actually do leave a tip.

The survey of more than 2,500 U.S. adults found that women are more likely than men to always tip hairstylists (66 percent versus 60 percent), servers (80 percent versus 74 percent) and food delivery workers (66 percent versus 59 percent).
When comparing the tipping habits of generations, baby boomers are more likely than millennials to always tip restaurant servers (89 percent versus 66 percent), taxi or rideshare drivers (63 percent versus 40 percent), hairstylists (73 percent versus 53 percent), food delivery people (72 percent versus 56 percent) and hotel housekeepers (33 percent versus 23 percent).
Baby boomers are currently between the ages of 55 and 73, while millennials are aged 23 to 38, according to the Pew Research Center.
The survey also found that among those who actually leave a gratuity at restaurants, women give about a percentage point less than men, and millennials typically give 22 percent compared to boomers giving an average of 17 percent.
"So, as a service person, you're more likely to get a really good tip from a man or a millennial — and also more likely to get stiffed," the company concluded about its findings in a press release.
Ted Rossman, an industry analyst at CreditCards.com, noted that millennials seem to have a cultural aversion to tipping.
"In last year's survey, we asked if people would be willing to pay more for restaurant meals if tipping were abolished, and millennials were the most likely to say yes," Rossman said.
Among all restaurant diners in the survey, the median tip was found to be 18 percent and for the diners who always leave a gratuity, the median tip rose to 20 percent.
Not surprisingly, those who have worked for tips in the past tended to be better tippers. Roughly 28 percent of U.S. adults have held a job in which they received gratuities, and they tip restaurant servers an average of 22 percent versus 17 percent for those who have never worked for tips.
Those people are also more likely to tip baristas, trash collectors and more.
"When in doubt, I think you should tip, particularly if this is a service provider you interact with regularly," Rossman said.

Multiplatform content provider iHeartMedia says results from a study conducted by market research company Neuro-Insight indicate radio ads perform effectively as compared to television ads.
Neuro-Insight says it uses brain imaging technology to measure how the brain responds to communications. The company especially focused on what it calls its "memory encoding" metric, an indicator associated with consumer choice and purchase behavior.
The research firm tested eight advertising campaigns with parallel radio and TV versions across several categories: automotive, financial services, insurance, consumer packaged goods, quick-service restaurants, entertainment, retail and telco. In seven of the eight test cases, radio ads returned much higher results than TV in "memory encoding" at key branding moments, according to Neuro-Insight.


There is nothing better than coming home from work, gearing up, taking a few steps outside your door, and shooting hoops. Either by yourself or with your son & or daughter, it is probably the best exercise after work or even in the weekends. Having a portable basketball hoop can make all this come into reality.

Spalding has been on the critical edge of the sporting goods industry for well over a century. They do not really need an introduction when it comes to basketball products or mechanisms. They simply dominate it. Their best product should be in our list of the Best Basketball Stand. The 'Beast' definitely is and it at the top. It really was a back and forth with the Hercules and the 1221s from Lifetime.
But Spalding decided to up the ante, as they always do. Yes, it is indeed one of the most expensive hoops in the market today. Like the others, it is adjustable from 7.5ft to 10ft. It has a glass backboard. It does come with screw in water level gauge base cap. The portable system has it all. It is the combination of the 1221, the 48, the Hercules. It is like getting 3 birds with one stone. We do love to compare and contrast but this is definitely the best Portable Basketball system in the market today. The Rolls Royce of Portable Hoops.
Though, by having this in your backyard probably means you have had a high budget, but it does not cheat. It is worth every penny. If you are looking for more information on this particular hoop please read our detailed review.

If you have trouble in setting up any hoop that you have purchased recently or cleaning one, we are here for your assistance. For any query(s) please do not hesitate to email us.
We keep playing basketball. Not because of making it to the pro leagues one day, but because we enjoy it. It gives us a good exercise and at the same time it's really fun. The biggest reason we continue to purchase basketball goods and or play is because we want to improve. Let's face it - we all want to get better. We all want to perform better than the guy next door, than the guy at the gym, and or your teammate on your middle school basketball team. It is this desire to get better, as if it is genetically installed in our system. We want to practice. We want to practice more by ourselves or with a friend or two. We need more space, space for ourselves, uninterrupted space. We can't afford to wait to play pick-up games in a crowded park or court. We want to practice our own game on our own time. We want our kids to get better right in front of our eyes. The best possible way for all of that is having / owning a hoop in your backyard. The best way to start is getting yourself a Portable Basketball Hoop System. Where do you set it up at? As mentioned earlier, your backyard, or your parking lot. These are the most common places you can find portable hoops if you scroll through neighborhoods.
Having a portable basketball hoop is a luxury. It can do miracles. Think about it, training your child from an early age right where you want to be at. We all want to be at home and practicing at "home" is definitely a luxury. To become skillful at this game you have to obligate an immense deal of time perfecting your skills. This becomes extremely hard if you don't have a basketball hoop in your vicinity. We are providing the solution. Setting up a basketball hoop in your garage, backyard, or parking lot can be unpleasant. Though setting up an in-ground stable hoop can give you a solid fit and stronger performance, but you can always save it when your kid or you reach an advanced level. It is always best to begin with the portable hoop, only because it can be moved when needed. It does not take much space either so it should be the perfect solution for infinite practice.
It is perfect for indoor & outdoor recreation, competitive play, and fun. The compatibility in both indoors and outdoors is what makes this Portable Hoop unique. You can say SKLZ has done well in this department for focusing on the indoor category. A portable hoop that can sooth well in the indoors is definitely a rarity these days. The option to adjust height is very user-friendly, can be done by any adolescent. For a portable hoop who's tag seems to be very affordable, when it comes with a spring action "Break-a-way" rim/backboard, we can call it a gift. How do they manage to put that much technology in that price range is ridiculous.
The spalding Hercules 52″ is great but i like the spalding NBA Hybrid Portable Basketball Sуѕtеm.
It hаѕ сhаngеd the gаmе оn thе portable basketball hоор bаѕе. In the раѕt, all роrtаblе bаѕkеtbаll hoops either hаd tо bе fіllеd wіth wаtеr оr sand.
