bespoke lighting fixtures. They allow seamless glowing light to resonate throughout, piercing the building levels and complementing the interior material finishes. Atkins wanted 'the sense of a lantern which will offer a warm glow to onlookers and accentuate the impact of seeing guests inside the building'.
LEDs hidden in the columns are high-output, high-efficiency RGBW 'for a lovely, warm-white output, and have the potential for full colour change to meet any specific show requirements,' says Thornton.
'After numerous concepts and iterations for the facade lighting we made a decision to have no specific facade lighting. Instead we focused on the interior and accentuated the impressive dhow shape by allowing it to fall into silhouette, letting the interior lighting "sing" out through the glazing,' says Thornton.
highlighting elements of the interior design.
A lighting control system alters the look and feel of the space for different occasions and scenarios.
As a multi-format venue the Dubai Opera transforms into three modes: a theatre, a concert hall, and a 'flat floor' to cater for banquets or events.
In the auditorium, customised linear uplights from Vexica graze the wall panels from the skirting. Ceiling-mounted spots from Remote Control Lighting are operated from floor level using an app, allowing staff to use pre-set scenes or pan, tilt and dim each fitting individually. Bespoke housings ensure that regardless of the angle of each panel of the undulating ceiling, the luminaire body remains perpendicular to the floor, making it easier to focus accurately.

Since June 2014, decreases in crude oil and natural gas prices have reduced household energy costs. According to initial figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the chained consumer price index for urban consumers (C-CPI-U) decreased by 1.2% from June 2014 to February 2016. Lower energy prices had a significant impact on this decrease in spite of increases in the food and shelter components of the overall index, which represent larger shares of household expenses. The overall index edged up 0.6% in March as real crude oil prices rose 18.1%, while natural gas prices continued to decline.
Between June 2014 and February 2016, the inflation-adjusted Brent crude oil and Henry Hub natural gas prices declined 71% and 56%, respectively. Prices for these two benchmarks are significant, as changes in the Brent crude oil price often lead to changes in gasoline, diesel, and heating oil costs, while changes in the Henry Hub price affect natural gas prices and, to a lesser extent, electricity prices. The energy component of the C-CPI-U decreased by 35.3%, reflecting the influence of declining spot prices on household energy prices.
The energy component of the consumer price index tends to be much more dynamic than other major components of the index: during the same period, the food and beverage component of the C-CPI-U increased by 2.5%, while the shelter component rose 5.1%. The energy component rose 4.9% from February to March 2016, remaining 12.9% below its 2015 average.
The all-items C-CPI-U measures changes in the overall cost of living for U.S. households based on data from several surveys, including the Consumer Expenditure Survey. The C-CPI-U formula accounts for substitutions that consumers sometimes make in response to changes in relative prices. For instance, if the price of gasoline rises, which increases the cost of commuting by car, some households may switch to public transit or ridesharing options. The energy index includes fuel oil, motor fuel, electricity, and natural gas, which together made up about 8% of household expenditures in 2014, the most recent year of available expenditure data.
In constant 2015 dollars, average annual household energy expenditures peaked at about $5,300 in 2008. Between 2008 and 2014, average annual household energy expenditures declined by 14.1%. During this period, household expenditures decreased by 17.7% for gasoline, 25.1% for natural gas, and 28.3% for fuel oil. Electricity expenditures declined by a more modest 0.7%. EIA uses these average household energy expenditures to inform its outlooks for summer transportation expenditures and winter heating fuels expenditures.

A Five-Factor Asset Pricing Model (Digest Summary)
CFA Institute Journal Review April 2015 Volume 45 Issue 4
Eugene F. FamaPhD Kenneth R. French Journal of Financial Economics
Summarized by Paul R. Rossi
The authors introduce a five-factor asset pricing model that outperforms the well-known Fama–French three-factor asset pricing model in explaining stock returns. Surprisingly, when the two additional factors of profitability and investment are added to the original three-factor model, the value factor becomes superfluous. Although the five-factor model is not without its challenges, it is useful in describing the cross-sectional variance of the factors' expected return.
Eugene Fama and Kenneth French have revised and expanded their original three-factor asset pricing model (Journal of Financial Economics 1993) to include two new factors: profitability and investment. They show that it performs better than their well-known three-factor model, although the revised five-factor model is not without its shortcomings. Small-capitalization stocks and their performance still pose a challenge to pricing models. Interestingly, the way the factors are defined does not influence the model's performance.
How Is This Research Useful to Practitioners?
The authors' original three-factor model was designed to improve on the well-known and much-used CAPM. The CAPM uses a beta factor (determined by the difference between the market portfolio's return and the risk-free return) to help explain portfolio returns, so Fama and French added two more factors—size and value—that showed improved explanatory results. At the time of their 1993 article, these factors were two recognized patterns in average returns that were not explained by the CAPM (i.e., anomaly variables).
More recently, additional evidence from other researchers indicated that the original three-factor model was deficient because the model did not account for profitability and investment in relation to the variation in average returns. Motivated by this evidence, the authors added two additional factors to their original model to come up with a five-factor asset pricing model.
The authors estimate that the five-factor model explains between 71% and 94% of the cross-sectional variance of expected returns for the size, value, operating profit, and investment factors in the portfolios they examine. In applications for which the sole interest is abnormal returns, their investigation reveals that when the value factor is excluded from the five-factor model, the model with four factors performs as well as the five-factor model. Unpredictably, in the five-factor model the value component is redundant for describing average returns because the value return is captured by the exposure of value to other factors. But the five-factor model should be used if one is interested in using a value screen. Despite the five-factor model failing the Gibbons, Ross, and Shanken (Econometrica 1989) statistical test, it does perform well because the unexplained average returns for individual portfolios are nearly all close to zero.
How Did the Authors Conduct This Research?
Data suggest that stock returns are related to the book-to-market equity ratio as well as to profitability and investment. As a starting point, the authors use the dividend discount model to explain why these variables are related to average returns. With a bit of manipulation based on the dividend discount model, the authors are able to extract two additional factors, profitability and investment, to add to their three-factor model. They define profitability as operating profit minus interest expense divided by book equity, and they measure investment as the change in total assets divided by total assets.
The study covers 606 months of data from July 1963 to December 2013, which includes an additional 21 years of new data from when their original three-factor model was published in 1993. At the end of each June, stocks are allocated to various size groups using NYSE market-cap breakpoints. In addition, the other factors (i.e., value, operating profit, etc.) are segregated within their respective categories and ranked from low to high. The authors calculate the excess monthly returns of the factor portfolios over the one-month Treasury bill rate. Finally, they measure the standard deviations, t-statistics, correlations, regression intercepts, coefficients, and slopes of the portfolios they construct to analyze the data.
Abstractor's Viewpoint
Although Fama and French have developed a new five-factor model and as popular as the Fama–French three-factor asset pricing model is, the question is whether the model will be as well received by investment practitioners and the financial community. Especially with the value factor falling away and being replaced by profitability and investment factors, it basically becomes a four-factor model. Somewhat surprising is that small-cap stocks still seem to be elusive to their model. I would be interested in knowing what other factors (in addition to momentum and liquidity) the authors may have analyzed before deciding on the five-factor model presented in their study.

The most immediate full or partial nonsurgical face lifting is accomplished with injectable products-most often Radiesse along with softer fillers such as Juvederm, Perlane or Restylane.
Of course Botox plays a substantial role in face "lifting" as it allows muscles to relax, alleviating frowns and furrows that tend to push down the brow. Botox can also reverse age related mouth frowns where the corners of the mouth begin to turn down instead of level or up.
Injectables essentially refill the deflating "balloon" that comes from age-related descent of the facial tissues and muscle. The overall lift can come from restoring height to the cheekbones, filling sunken cheek areas, filling in eye hollows, augmenting chin and lips. You can completely change the appearance of age, substituting it for one of youth and energy.
Restylane for lines, wrinkles and Facial folds.
Juvederm for wrinkles, lips, lip border.
Radiesse for long term nasolabial fold correction, nose reshaping and facial contouring.

Everyone needs to establish a web presence, and, depending on your specific needs, doing so can be free or very inexpensive. For people looking to get started with establishing a web presence for themselves or a specific project, I recommend beginning by registering for a WordPress account. This is free. Once you have set up a WordPress account and chosen a name for your WordPress website, you will have access to a website that you can update and edit regularly. The address for this website will be yourwebsitename.wordpress.com. If you'd like your website address not to include wordpress in the name, there are several options. The least expensive and easiest, is to register your website name with WordPress. You can do this by going to the site dashboard, clicking on Store, and registering a domain. WordPress currently charges $5 per year for this service. For the majority of individuals, this is really all you need to get started on the web. It will take some time to become familiar with the WordPress dashboard, but it is worth the investment since, at the moment, WordPress is an Open Source application, meaning it can be used for free, and it has large user base. As a result, many websites are built around it and learning a bit more about how to use this tool is a good investment since you may be able to apply this knowledge in managing not only your own website but for contributing to other websites as well.
If you are developing a website that includes advertising or ecommerce, meaning the ability to sell products, you will need to take a few additional steps. I will cover these issues in posts dedicated to each one of these subjects.

ACEA A3/B3 oils are Mainline lubricants. They are designed for general usage use in a wide range of gasoline and light duty diesel engines. ACEA A3/B3 oils are typically used in older vehicles as they do not provide the minimum performance demanded by the latest OEM specifications.
* SAE 10W-40 based on a mix of API Group I and Group III.
* SAE 15W-40 based on API Group I base oils.
Prior to ACEA 2010, the minimum performance level required by many OEM specifications was above the performance of ACEA A3/B3 as many OEMs require a measure of direct injection diesel engine protection and specified ACEA A3/B4 to achieve this.
ACEA A3/B3 was first introduced into the ACEA Oil Sequences in 2004, however, it is based upon the original ACEA A3 and ACEA B3 sequences that were introduced in 1996.
For ACEA 2010 a number of changes to the requirements for ACEA A3/B3 have been made which fundamentally change the performance required to meet ACEA A3/B3-10. These include the inclusion of the VW TDI engine test, as a replacement for the VW ICTD and the inclusion of the new OM646LA engine test, as a replacement for the OM602A, along with increases in sludge handling.
The introduction of a minimum Total Base Number (TBN) of 8.0 mgKOH/g affects the number of ACEA sequences that can be combined with ACEA A3/B3-10. Prior to ACEA 2010, depending upon the performance of the engine oil, it was possible to combine ACEA A3/B3 with a number of other sequences including ACEA C3. However, as engine oils meeting the ACEA C Sequences are formulated to a lower sulphated ash level they tend to deliver a TBN of less than 8.0 mgKOH/g. Therefore, with the introduction of ACEA 2010 it is unlikely that engine oils meeting the ACEA C sequences will also be able to meet ACEA A3/B3.
The inclusion of the VW TDI engine test, which evaluates direct injection diesel piston cleanliness and ring sticking, changes ACEA A3/B3 the most. Previously ACEA A3/B3 oils were only evaluated for diesel piston cleanliness and ring sticking in an indirect injection engine test (VW ICTD). By introducing a requirement to provide a high level of protection for direct injection diesel engines ACEA have significantly raised the diesel piston cleanliness performance demanded from ACEA A3/B3 oils. Some existing ACEA A3/B3 engine oils will be unable to deliver this performance without being reformulated.
The inclusion of the new OM646LA engine test raises the diesel wear protection performance demanded from ACEA A3/B3 oils.
The relative performance diagrams presented below compare Lubrizol's interpretation of the performance of requirements of the existing ACEA 2007 A3/B3-04 oil sequence with the ACEA 2010 version. As shown, ACEA 2010 A3/B3-10 represents an upgrade in piston cleanliness, wear protection and sludge handling.

Foundation donation supports the largest international children's charity: World Vision
A generous contribution, donated to World Vision, has supported a Girls' Education Challenge project in Zimbabwe.
World Vision is the world's largest international children's charity, working to bring real hope to millions of children in the world's most deprived places. Poverty, conflict and disaster leave millions of children living in fear; fear of hunger and disease; fear of violence, conflict and exploitation; fear that robs them of a childhood. World Vision have local staff who work in thousands of communities helping change the world they live in.
Adderstone Foundation's £1000 donation has been given specifically to the Girls' Education Challenge Project in Zimbabwe. The project is an innovative and effective programme that will see the lives of 49,000 girls in the most deprived districts of rural Zimbabwe transformed. With help from the Foundation, World Vision is empowering and educating girls across 500 schools in the most deprived districts of rural Zimbabwe to overcome financial, physical and social obstacles that stand in the way of their right to an education.
This project is encouraging young girls to stay in school through the provision of girls' clubs, training teachers, generating family income and empowering rural communities to enable more girls to complete their education. If girls drop out of school early, it will affect the future development of the community.
Over the next few years, World Vision aim to help many more disadvantaged girls in rural Zimbabwe to get to school, complete their studies and reach their full potential in life.
Nicola Baggett, Adderstone Foundation Trustee said: "It's extremely rewarding to know that Adderstone Foundation ais helping to support thousands of girls in Zimbabwe and enabling them to get an education.
"The Girls' Education Challenge is such an incredible project and we hope to support more projects like this in the future. Watch this space!"
Special thanks must go to the British Government's matched funding scheme. This scheme it ensures that any amount given to the Girls' Education Challenge is multiplied nine times. Therefore the £1,000 donated by Adderstone Foundation has become £9,000 thanks to the generosity of the Department for International Development.

Nightclubbing | Divine Goes to CBGBs
August 2, 2012 By Emily Armstrong and Pat Ivers
Pat Ivers and Emily Armstrong continue sorting through their archives of punk-era concert footage as it's digitized for the Downtown Collection at N.Y.U.'s Fales Library.
All punk rockers were not alike. From blue-collar rockers to art school grads, the CBGBs crowd ran the New York gamut: diverse, passionate and extremely opinionated. But there was one thing everyone agreed on. Everybody loved Divine.
Born Harris Glenn Milstead, Divine was dubbed "Drag Queen of the Century" by People magazine after appearing in 10 films by John Waters. Here's how much downtowners adored Divine: In April, 1978, The Neon Women, a play written by Tom Eyen, opened at Hurrah's, a nightclub on West 62 Street. Starring Divine as Flash Storm, a retired stripper, it was loosely based on Gypsy Rose Lee's detective novel, "The G String Murders." Downtowners actually crossed 14th Street to see it, traveling uptown in droves. More →

Nightclubbing | The Dead Boys
June 27, 2012 By Emily Armstrong and Pat Ivers
Pat Ivers and Emily Armstrong are sifting through their voluminous archive of punk-era concert footage as it's digitized for the Downtown Collection at N.Y.U.'s Fales Library. Here's this week's trip down memory lane, starting with a word form Jeff Magnum, bassist for the Dead Boys.

I was working in a record store, it was horrible. Farmers would come in demanding John Denver, or say, "Do you have that record they play on the radio…" But at least there was Rocket From the Tombs. They were the only good band in Cleveland in the early 1970s, and I went to see 'em play a lot! I heard they were breaking up but they were playing one last gig (Bators and Cheetah were gonna start a new band). I went to that last gig and I walked up to Cheetah, who I never met, and told him, "I'm the bass player yer lookin' for!" That new band was called Frankenstein (Bators, Cheetah, Blitz, Zero, and me)." [In 1976, the band left for New York without Magnum, and booked a gig at CBGBs. They came back for him, and returned to the city as the Dead Boys.] We went on this 20-hour car ride, the whole time them telling me how great it will all be, that they had a place and that we would be playing at the greatest club in the world. I got to the club and said, "What a shit-hole." But it became our living room. We were there every night and when we played, we kicked ass. — Jeff Magnum
The Dead Boys held a special status at CBGBs. They were managed by the club's owner, Hilly Krystal, and played there more than any other band. More →

Nightclubbing | A Night at CBGBs
The Local is pleased to launch a regular column in which Pat Ivers and Emily Armstrong sift through their voluminous archive of punk-era concert footage as it becomes part of the Downtown Collection at N.Y.U.'s Fales Library. They'll share their favorite stories and clips along the way.
The Nightclubbing archive.
Pat: On a hot sticky night in July, 1975, I began videotaping punk bands at CBGBs. It was during the CBGB Rock Festival of Unrecorded Bands, with 40 groups that formed the core of the nascent music scene downtown. I was part of Metropolis Video, a video collective of eight, most of whom worked at MCTV's public access department. That first night, we shot Blondie (still doing some covers, like the Velvets, Femme Fatale), the Talking Heads on their third or fourth gig out of RISD, and the Heartbreakers, a downtown super group with Richard Hell, who had just left Television, and Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan of the Dolls. It was their first Manhattan date. It was exciting and we shot now and then for about a year but the center would not hold and the collective dissolved.
Luckily, I met Emily Armstrong and after a night seeing Patti Smith at CBs, she agreed to work with me and a new partnership was formed. Our first band was the Dead Boys in 1977 and we continued for the next four years, often at CBs but also at other clubs like Max's, Hurrah's, Mudd Club, and Danceteria.
Emily: Now 32 years later, N.Y.U.'s Fales Library is making everything new again. The Downtown Collection is preserving and restoring the Nightclubbing archive of nearly 100 musical performances, 20-plus interviews, video art projects and more. It will be available for scholars (yes!) to rifle through and enjoy. I hope they do – I know I did. More →

My goal has been to fly about 100 hours per year but, due to a number of factors, the number seems to be dwindling. Rather than just fly "around the patch", I've developed a hobby I call "Collecting airports". I actively seek out airports I've never visited so I can add them to my log. As soon as I return home, I put a pin into a wall covered with sectionals joined together to show the northeastern US. I also plot them on a map I created in Excel. As the airports close to home are conquered, it's becoming more difficult to get new ones. I finished the year 2008 with 158 airports and continue to add them albeit slowly at this point. I think it makes things a bit more interesting. Some of the trips were especially memorable. Read about them here.

Beating heart cadaver
Corpse with medically-maintained heartbeat
A beating heart cadaver is a body that is pronounced dead in all medical and legal definitions, connected to a medical ventilator, and retains cardio-pulmonary functions. This keeps the organs of the body, including the heart, functioning and alive.[1] As a result, the period of time in which the organs may be used for transplantation is extended. The heart contains pacemaker cells that will cause it to continue beating even when a patient is brain-dead. Other organs in the body do not have this capability and need the brain to be functioning to send signals to the organs to carry out their functions. A beating heart cadaver requires a ventilator to provide oxygen to its blood, but the heart will continue to beat on its own even in the absence of brain activity.[2] This allows organs to be preserved for a longer period of time in the case of a transplant or donation. A small number of cases in recent years indicate that it can also be implemented for a brain-dead pregnant woman to reach the full term of her pregnancy.[2] There is an advantage to beating heart cadaver organ donation because doctors are able to see the vitals of the organs and tell if they are stable and functioning before transplanting to an ailing patient.[3] This is not possible in a donation from someone pronounced dead.[citation needed]
The observed phenomena of lifelike qualities after death is not a new concept. In René Descartes' Discourse on the Method, he notes that decapitated animals move and display characteristics of a living body a few seconds after decapitation which was published in 1637.[4] This continued into the French Revolution where it was observed that people who had been beheaded showed movements in facial muscles and hearts could continue to beat for almost an hour past the time of beheading.[5] The guillotine in some cases did not completely sever head from body. In 1875 an examiner named Pierre Jean Cabanis was assigned the duty of making sure a body was truly dead.[4] There were also stories involving beheadings where the victims would stand up and walk around before falling dead. The ambiguity around brain death and true death has followed it to present day. In an effort to clarify some of these gray areas, the Harvard Medical Committee developed criteria for identifying a body as dead in 1968.[4][5] These criteria required patients to be completely unaware and unresponsive to external stimuli, have no spontaneous muscle movements, and exhibit no reflexive response even when manipulated. They also required that an electroencephalography (EEG) show no signs of activity.[4] The purpose of this report was to encourage physicians to distinguish brain death and irreversible coma from a persistent vegetative state where the patient still has some awareness and cycles through sleep and wakefulness.[6]
In 1971 a similar Minnesota criteria was published eliminating the EEG, repeating the exam after 12 hours, a severe lesion in the brain, and increasing the duration of the apnea test to four minutes rather than Harvard's three minute guideline. Other slight changes in the next decades included the United Kingdom's decision to eliminate the repetition of the exam and change from a duration of the apnea test to specified levels of CO2 in 1976.[5] Later, in 1981 the President's Commission reinstated the apnea test and the repeat exam. In a study done in 1989, only 35% of 195 physicians and nurses involved in organ procurement polled knew brain death criteria. These were not the same nurses and physicians who diagnose brain death. Presently, there is hot debate over the protocol for diagnosing someone as brain dead due to widespread disinformation and misinformation on the internet. [7]
The American Academy of Neurology created a prerequisite and neurological clinical assessment to be used as guidelines for determining brain death published in 2010.[6] To be considered for brain death the body must have a determinant cause of coma, have normal systolic blood pressure, and pass two neurological tests. These neurological assessments commonly consist of an apnea test, reflex tests where the body is manipulated or exposed to a stimulus and does not react, or be in a coma where there is complete unresponsiveness.[6] Cerebral angiography, electroencephalography, transcranial doppler ultrasonography, and cerebral scintigraphy are some of the tests that are used to test if there is any significant brain activity.[6]
Care[edit]
Caring for a beating heart cadaver is similar to caring for a living patient. Since the brain has stopped functioning, the hormone levels and blood pressure must be regulated by intensive care unit (ICU) personnel.[8] The protocol for preserving the cadaver aims to prevent infection and maintain adequate oxygenation of tissue.[9] The cadaver's status must be continuously monitored, so that ICU staff can prevent organ failure or quickly operate to save threatened organs.[8]
Organ recovery[edit]
A beating heart cadaver is kept alive in order to keep its organs from decaying before they can be transplanted. Surgeons will remove the organs, one after the other, and have them transferred to the recipients' treating teams.[1] The entire recovery process is usually completed within four hours.[9] This process was formerly known as an "organ harvest", but the name has since changed to the milder "organ recovery".[1] Many organs can be extracted, and many lives can be saved by one body. The bodies are generally those of organ donors, who have either given first-person consent to become an organ donor, presumptive consent by not explicitly declining to donate[10] or whose legal next-of-kin makes the decision to donate.[11] Some donated organs are taken from non-heart-beating donors.[12] Organs from brain deaths, however, have a better success rate, and currently most organ donation is from these deaths.[13]
How long the brain-dead person is kept on the ventilator may vary depending on the availability of surgical teams and the wishes of the family of that brain-dead person. An anesthesiologist is regularly present at organ donation surgical procedures, not for pain, but to monitor the vital signs and administer medications to optimize organ harvest. [14] Due to the results of the apnea test if a person lacks the brain function to breathe unassisted, it is concluded that it would also lack the brain function to relay the sensation of pain.[14] The anesthesiologist also ensures that muscle spasms or reflexes do not occur during the procedure. Though the brain may be dead, the pathway that reflexes follow does not pass from the stimulus in the body to the brain. Instead the spinal cord coordinates the knee-jerk reactions of reflexes including pulling back from the pain of putting a hand in an open flame or jerking away from an invasive incision. When the brain is dead these pathways remain intact and the anesthesiologist is present to ensure that these reactions do not complicate the procedure.[14]
Brain death and pregnancy[edit]
Main article: Maternal somatic support after brain death
Pregnancy can be prolonged after brain death. It is then possible to deliver the baby by means of caesarian section.[15] Cadavers have been reported to support a fetus for a period of 107 days. After delivering the baby, some cadavers have subsequently become organ donors.[16] Since 1981 there have been 22 recorded instances of keeping a mother declared brain dead in a beating heart cadaver state until the baby is delivered.[2]
A review of 11 of these unique circumstance pregnancies was conducted in 2000. Four of these cases involved a persistent vegetative state of the mother and in 7 maternal brain death was diagnosed.[17] The women that underwent these gestation periods all delivered preterm an average of 30.5 weeks, where a normal pregnancy is around 35 weeks for full term.[17] The mothers were observed to have severe hypotension once in the brain dead or vegetative state and in all but one case the baby was delivered by cesarian section. It has also been found that by the 24th week of pregnancy intensive care is not as necessary and the mother is more stable than treatment occurring before the 24th week.[17] Common complications involved inability to regulate temperature which is treated with heating and cooling blankets, as well as failure of the endocrine system which is important in maintaining a stable fetal environment.[17] Following the delivery of the baby, organs of the mother are harvested as well.[16]
From an ethical perspective the family and next of kin are often involved in the decision to terminate or prolong the pregnancy. This can be a difficult decision given the level of care required to keep the mothers living for the duration of their gestation which can vary. Intensive care of a vegetative state patient is not usually advised due to the dismal chances of recovery, but in the case that the fetus could survive this care is often justified and administered at the discretion of the family.[14][17] Intense counseling and advisement by physicians and neonatal experts often accompanies these rare situations.[12]
Ethical debate[edit]
The neutrality of this section is disputed. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. Please do not remove this message until conditions to do so are met. (December 2022) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Brain death is defined as irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brain stem: coma (with a known cause), absence of brainstem reflexes, and apnea. When doctors take away ventilation systems and patients fail to breathe, move, or show any signs of arousal on their own they are considered brain dead.[14] This test is called an apnea test. The ventilator is taken away and is reconnected only if the person decided to be an organ donor. This definition can create some cognitive dissonance because not responding to stimulation may show a problem with the central nervous system, yet when someone has a beating heart and lungs that will still function with the help of a ventilator it is difficult for some to accept as death. Brain death patients have characteristics of the living and the dead.[3]
Social issues[edit]
Organ recovery from beating heart cadavers has remained ambiguous to the public. There is a guideline for organ transplantation consisting of two parts. It states that organ donors must be dead before removing the organs, and removing the organs is not the cause of death.[18] This clause is in place to ensure that organ donation is not exploited to use people purely as a means to an end. However, many believe that even with these guidelines in place the protocol for organ donation still has room for criticism. There is an opinion that negative views from public and medical personnel on this subject tend to stem from a lack of understanding of what it means to be considered brain dead and how these decisions are made,[19] but there are also legitimate concerns relating to the consciousness of the patient.[20] One social issue that is commonly brought up is the potential for conflict of interest for the medical team examining the body.[19] Another issue raising concerns in the organ donation by beating heart cadaver field is the administration of drugs to the patient that prevent clotting prior the donation procedure. These drugs are not beneficial to the patient and are intended solely to help the recipient of the organs.[18] To alleviate some of these social concerns, there has been push for a standard in determining death and creating a normalized system for transplantation in these patients.[19]
Religious and cultural differences[edit]
From a religious standpoint, the encouragement of organ donation or acceptance may vary. The Catholic church with input from Pope John Paul II, identified transplantation from beating heart cadavers or living subjects as acceptable if there are no added risks to the donor.[21] This has been widely debated in Japan where the first heart transplant took place in 1968 and the patient died a few months after the procedure.[22] Since then, more transplantation procedures have taken place but it is still a controversial subject. Transplantation in naturalist religions and cultures such as Native Americans, Buddhists, and Confucianists tend to dissuade the use of living donors and transplantation.[21] The body is idealized as a home for a soul and the organs belonging to a person are considered perverse if utilized by another person. No religion specifically outlaws the use of beating heart cadavers or prefers them to non beating heart cadavers.[21][22] Western cultures more widely accept the use of transplantation by beating heart cadavers than more conservative cultures.[21] The main concern of many religions and cultures is ensuring the body is not objectified or disrespected in harvesting and transplantation of organs.[21]
Award-winning Canadian writer Colleen Murphy's play Beating Heart Cadaver had its premiere in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2011 at the Finborough Theatre, London.

People don't check, and they don't join. The countries on the right, the ones that give a lot, have a slightly different form. It says check the box below if you don't want to participate.

Victory over Spartaks on return game
After resuming the Optibet futbola Virslīga, we've returned in front of our spectators after a month and a half, taking on FK Spartaks Jurmala in the stadium of Valmiera Olympic Centre. In an emotionally rich game, we celebrated a win with 2:1.
The first goal of the game was scored in the second minute already, when Alvis Jaunzems found Raimonds Krollis in the opponent's penalty box with an excellent pass, immediately the captain played it to Ibrahima Sow who left no hope to Davis Oss in Spartaks goal. Unlucky for the home side, the second goal they scored, when Krollis finished the cross on far post, was ruled off because of the offside. In the very end of the half-time Richard Emeka Friday levelled result after he scored the goal with his head.
At the second half-time, the initiative belonged to the Tamaz Pertia led team, which had more control over the course of the game, regularly also threatening the opponent's goal. The winning goal was scored in the 56 th minute when, after another free-kick, and another Krollis pass, literally, Djibril Gueye fly in the goal with the ball and desperate defender of Spartaks team.
In the remainder of the game, Masaki Murata and Niks Dusalijevs made a debut in Valmiera shirt coming on from bench. Without any problems, the victory was safeguarded, which allowed Valmiera to rank briefly in the first position of the tournament table.
The next game is scheduled on away against FK Liepaja on 4 August.

Q: For loop not incrementing even after initialization I have a method in java which runs a for loop and within the for loop there are a set of more functions that need to be executed multiple times. Below is the code snippet for reference. My issue is that it is not incrementing with/without initialization in both places
    public class dashboardStepDef {
   public int i=2;
    //method to for loop to iterate scenario outline
    public void methodToCall() throws InterruptedException {
        for (int i=2; i<=5;i++){
            //add wait
            filterIcon(null);
            enterTextOne(null);
            selectSpecificLogic(null);
            enterTextTwo(null);
            filterButton();
            verifyRow();
            clearFiltersGrid();
            collapseGridRow();
        }
    }

"public int i;" in the class is being accessed in the code below
 public void filterIcon(String columnHeader) throws
        InterruptedException {
          // determine row
        Thread.sleep(5000);
            driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='grid']//table[@role='grid']/thead[@role='rowgroup']/tr[@role='row']/th["+i+"]//span")).click();
            }

"i" in the second snippet is the one that is not being incremented

A: I tried running your code and it works fine. If you are still experiencing an issue, could you please share more context?
public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String []args) throws Exception {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
        new Test().methodToCall();
    }

    static class Test {
        int i=2;
//method to for loop to iterate scenario outline
        public void methodToCall() throws InterruptedException {
            for (int i=2; i<=5; i++) {
                //add wait
                // filterIcon(null);
                // enterTextOne(null);
                // selectSpecificLogic(null);
                // enterTextTwo(null);
                // filterButton();
                // verifyRow();
                // clearFiltersGrid();
                // collapseGridRow();
                System.out.println(i);
            }
        }
    }
}

Output:
Hello, World!
23
4
5

[EDIT]
If you want to use field i you  it is better to use while loop
    static class Test {
        int i=2;
//method to for loop to iterate scenario outline
        public void methodToCall() throws InterruptedException {
            while (i<=5) {
                //add wait
                // filterIcon(null);
                // enterTextOne(null);
                // selectSpecificLogic(null);
                // enterTextTwo(null);
                // filterButton();
                // verifyRow();
                // clearFiltersGrid();
                // collapseGridRow();
                System.out.println(i);
                i++;
            }
        }
    }

But I would suggest pass i parameter into your function:
static class Test {
    //method to for loop to iterate scenario outline
            public void methodToCall() throws InterruptedException {
                for (int i=2; i<=5; i++) {
                    //add wait
                    filterIcon(i, null);
                    // enterTextOne(null);
                    // selectSpecificLogic(null);
                    // enterTextTwo(null);
                    // filterButton();
                    // verifyRow();
                    // clearFiltersGrid();
                    // collapseGridRow();
                    System.out.println(i);
                }
            }
        }

School board candidate: I was "humiliated and physically violated" during March arrest

At-large Fairfax County School Board candidate Abrar Omeish revealed Sunday that she was arrested by Fairfax County Police earlier this year after a routine traffic stop turned into a confrontation that led to her being pepper-sprayed.
Omeish wrote about the March 5 incident on the politics website BlueVirginia.com, saying that police needlessly escalated the incident and that her rights were violated when she was forced to remove her headscarf at the county jail. The force of the arrest left Omeish "scratched, bruised, concussed, utterly humiliated, and physically violated," she said.
"This spring, I had a very traumatic personal encounter that shook me to my core and reminded me even more why I'm doing this," Abrar said in her post on Blue Virginia. "I was pepper-sprayed, dragged out of my car, and arrested. My phone, with which I had attempted to film, was taken from me. Police backup arrived and four officers came to restrain my body against their car."
Omeish said the incident began when she was pulled over after police said she made a right-hand turn on red without coming to a complete stop. Omeish said she began asking questions of the officer and did not initially give the officer her driver's license. That set off a chain of events that led to her being pepper-sprayed and forcibly removed from the vehicle, Omeish said.

Police spokeswoman Emile Voss said that Omeish was pulled over in the 4000 block of Gallows Road. She confirmed that pepper spray was used after Omeish "actively resisted arrest."
"[Omeish] was asked to provide operator identification over a dozen times by our officer," Voss said.
Voss said that an administrative investigation of the incident is currently underway, which is standard protocol in use-of-force cases. The FCPD's internal affairs bureau is leading the investigation.
There is in-car camera footage of the arrest, but Voss said it would not be released before the administrative investigation is concluded. Chief Edwin Roessler has also asked for an investigation by the county's Independent Police Auditor.
The arresting officer in the case remains on full duty, Voss said.
In her statement, Omeish said she told the officer "multiple times" she would show him her license. She said she feared for her safety as the officer held the pepper spray to her face and allegedly yelled "get out of the car" repeatedly.

"My mind was racing with worst case scenarios and the many police videos where routine traffic stops result in deadly encounters," Omeish wrote.
Omeish was taken to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center after the arrest. She said deputies there forced her remove her hijab before being photographed, something Omeish said was unnecessary and "an extremely humiliating experience" due to her faith.
"This treatment by the Sheriff's office violated my civil rights, was gratuitous, and, as I have come to understand, is contrary to custom in many jails," Omeish wrote. "I know Sheriff Kincaid personally and do not doubt she stands for higher ideals."
A spokeswoman for the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office said they would not comment on Omeish's statements on Blue Virginia regarding her treatment by deputies. However the spokeswoman said that Sheriff's deputies followed the departments procedures when processing Omeish at the jail.

"The only person who could see Ms. Omeish as she was being photographed was the female Sheriff's deputy who took the photos," said Andrea Ceisler, public information officer for the Sheriff's office. "The deputy took the first photos of Ms. Omeish without her religious head covering — face forward, left profile, right profile — and then with her religious head covering — face forward only. We allowed Ms. Omeish to keep her own religious head covering, rather than issue her a jail head covering, because she was not being booked into the Adult Detention Center."
Ultimately Omeish was charged obstruction of justice/resisting arrest, a class 1 misdemeanor. She was also given a traffic citation for not coming to a stop before making a right turn on a red light, and was released on her own recognizance.
Court records indicate that Omeish hired attorney Muhammad Elsayed of Greenspun Shapiro PC. The obstruction charge was later reduced by prosecutors to failure to carry/exhibit a driver's license. At a May 15 hearing on the case, Omeish was fined $100 for that infraction, and $100 for the red light infraction.
As part of an agreement with the prosecution, the charges will be expunged from Omeish's record, she said.
Omeish was endorsed May 21 by the Fairfax County Democratic Committee for one of three at-large school board seats up for grabs this fall. Along with fellow newcomer Rachna Sizemore Heizer and incumbent Karen Keys-Gamarra, Omeish was able to beat longtime school board member Ilryong Moon in the school board race's equivalent to a primary.
Omeish cited the ongoing legal proceedings as the reason for not revealing the arrest earlier in the campaign.
"With the chaos of campaigning leading up to the endorsement and with the favorable conclusion of my case only very recently, I am now able to process and share this information," Omeish wrote.
Omeish, 24, attended FCPS schools growing up and graduated from Robinson High School in 2013. She would be the youngest member of the school board if elected.

In her statement, Omeish said she intends to use the incident as motivation to push for equity in county schools and beyond.
"I remind everyone that a "submit or be punished" logic in the engagement of law enforcement with citizens damages our communities," Omeish wrote. "I hope for better. I remain baffled by the officer's aggression and refusal to de-escalate although I did not explicitly refuse and posed no threat to anyone involved. It amazes me that such a set of events could happen to a Muslim woman in Fairfax County."
This story was updated in include comment from the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office. It was also clarified to note that the initial obstruction of justice charge was dropped before the May 15 hearing.

When you get stopped, you show a driver license. That's easy.
The rest is likely a direct result of that failure.
(@Concerned Citizen)
SOP for Fairfax County cops. Perhaps some training in how to interact with the public is necessary. I've never dealt with one that's not a complete jerk.
(@Shirley Ginwright)
One thing citizens can do is "comply and file charges later." The police officer was in his rights to ask for the drivers license. This probably wouldn't have escalated had she complied. She was treated as any other "non compliant" citizen. Has nothing to do with being a Muslim. What I have problems with is her charges being expunged as part of a prosecutor's deal. What about other citizens who have lesser charges or even the same charge and it remains on their record. Difference here is they couldn't afford an attorney to clear their name.
(@SMartin)
So what about the five previous tickets she had in Fairfax County. Ironically, her history is not included in this report but plays a vital role in her behavior. If for no other reason than to show that this was not her first encounter and she was well of aware of what was expected. I only checked the Fairfax County site, does she have other encounters? Why the incomplete reporting, or was this meant to be a one side, factually incomplete piece?

Abrar Omeish is a youth leader in my community. I have traveled with her domestically and have been in long car rides with her where she was driving. She is a very careful driver and my parents are always reassured when I am with her because of her responsibility . She highly respects law enforcement and she always thanks them for their service in the places that I have gone with her (she even thanks security officers). I am sure this was a biased act because she is very principled . No one deserves to be sprayed and shoved over. And for those who say she should have taken her hijab for the mug shot because it is not necessarily/can obscure identification, hijab is 100% a religious obligation and she does not wear a full veil. Her hijab full shows her face. At the DMV, they don't ask you to remove your hijab. I wear the hijab and when I was taking my drivers license photo I had asked them if I should take it off/or at least make it loose for the photo and they requested for me to keep it on how I would normally wear it FOR PROPER IDENTIFICATION. So it is completely absurd and in fact a violation of her constitutional rights for them to ask her to take off her hijab. I am ashamed off the responses in the comments section and in fact in takes me question the openness and inclusion of minorities in Fairfax county.
I find this comment completely irrelevant to anything mentioned in the article or in any comment I can see.
When one is stopped for a traffic violation, as was in this case – an illegal turn on red – one provides a driver license and proof of registration. To do otherwise is not to show high respect for law enforcement; it is to force them to be more insistent than otherwise is necessary.
I do object to the County's insistence that she remove hijab, and would join in a fight for training officials. However, had she but produced the driver license, she would MOST likely have been released with a warning or a ticket that would not result in detention. She is at fault in this case, whether she's an angel or not otherwise.

This is where the process starts. Since clothing is pretty much required, everywhere, there's a great chance t-shirts would work fantastic for your school or business or band or fundraiser or event or… you get the idea.
We can print any design that you come up with. Or we have a team of in-house designers that can make your idea come to life. Check out our gallery for some examples of artwork we have previously done. NEW! You can also use our design studio to create your very own artwork as well. We are adding new designs all the time, so check back often!
How did you find us?We're glad to meet you!


So, apparently this site has a fan/cheerleader/stalker!
Now, before you are tempted to think…"whatever". Let me 'splain some things to you, Lucy!
No Sir E. Bob, not here in Dysfunction land.
The big one, not the little one.
If you don't know the show, then please go back to your "Yo Gabba Gabba reruns, because we obviously have nothing in common.
bit…well…how do I explain?......He's the one that always has things "go terribly wrong". He's the one that wakes up after a party with a baby hitting him in the head with a bottle (not his). He's the one who chips his front tooth during a bachelor party (don't ask). The point is, the boy means well but I don't need him coming up here to "do something stupid". For the love of cheese!! Who knows what would happen.
So, I have recently begun the adventure of homeschooling. There is lots of words I can think to describe the experience...exhasting, exciting, insane, wonderful, fullfilling, challenging, AWESOME !
You get the idea…However, with all the bliss comes a few changes.
3.Acccording to my girl, our team name is the Homeschool Homers–cool mascot? Doubt it…and who are we playing against anyway? The Block Bullys?
6. I am not smarter than a 3rd grader, do I really need to explain this one?!
7. Due to the cost of copies, we may have a school fundraiser--$3.00 school supplies anyone?
Thank you for finally getting around to posting on this! I have to say that I was very suprised to see myself in it but as always feel free to drag me through whatever you want, friends wouldn't have it any other way. I have been missing your good stories that you put on here, it's a way to keep up with your family without bothering you all the time! Love you and thanks for letting me a bonus friend!

Uncommon Carriers.
***1/2 Uncommon Carriers By John McPhee Ease on down the road, rail, and river. There's Point A and there's Point B. Most of us live somewhere in between, at least as far as America's transportation system is concerned. Whether carrying Maine lobsters to the Palm restaurant in Denver or sloshing WD-40 in the back of a big rig down a precipitous mountain grade, the uncommon carriers of John McPhee's latest collection of essays are a tentacular network of ships, trucks, and trains that do the heavy lifting so we don't have to. And sometimes, as McPhee makes clear in his exploration of a UPS shipping facility that he compares to the "Great Mosque of Cordoba," the journey is just as interesting as the destination.
