Ji Yunshu smiled discreetly when she noticed Constable Zhang's expression. She then followed Jing Rong and Fang Mingshan to the official residence. Fang Mingsan's did not have a lavish style of hospitality. He simply ordered his people to serve a few cups of hot tea and a few plates of local delicacies from Yuzhou City. The plates carrying the delicacies were slightly worn out. The whole set Fang Mingshan planned out could be concluded into one word: uncorrupted!
Fang Mingshan personally poured the tea for Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu, and said, "This is the famous Chuqiao Tea from Yuzhou City. Please try it, Prince and Teacher Ji." He handed the tea carefully to them.
Just before the tea could reach Ji Yunshu, it was halted by Wei Yi. "I want to drink too!" Then he gulped the tea as if it was merely water and wiped his mouth with his sleeve. "Gross, it tastes bitter."
Fang Mingshan was embarrassed by Wei Yi's words. Ji Yunshu pulled Wei Yi aside and said, "Wei Yi, don't be rude."
"Oh." He lowered his head, feeling wronged.
Jing Rong signaled his guards with a glance, ordering them to bring Wei Yi and Aunty Xie back to their rooms. However, Wei Yi grabbed Ji Yunshu's arm and refused to leave. In the end, they could only escort Aunty Xie back to her room to rest.
Fang Mingshan bowed, "Prince, this humble official has already ordered people to prepare a few superior rooms. Prince and Teacher Ji, you and your company can stay here peacefully."
"There's no need for that. This Prince will leave once everything is ready."
"The sky is getting darker, why doesn't Prince…"
Before he could finish his sentence, Jing Rong stopped him. "Lord Fang can stop beating around the bush. The banquet you prepared is nothing but a ruse to invite this Prince into the city, so that we can investigate the unusual cases that have emerged in Yuzhou City recently." He directly exposed Fang Mingshan's intentions.
Fang Mingshan's appeared upset, he sighed and was finally frank with his intentions, "Since Prince already knows, this humble one will pretend no more. In the past month alone, three cases have been reported. The people of this city are terrified, so much so that they won't even leave their residences. Some have even moved out from the city. No one dares to visit Yuzhou City now," he continued, "All the three deceased were well-known in the city. They were all hung on big trees in their own courtyards and died under gruesome circumstances. Furthermore, the night before they died, they all became crazy and delirious after claiming to see a ghost. This humble official has conducted an investigation, but no clues have surfaced thus far. According to the coroner's result from the autopsy, the deceased all committed suicide by hanging."
Jing Rong chucked. "Oh? Since they hung themselves, what is there to be investigated?"
"That's the weirdest part. The three deceased had no connection, didn't know each other, yet they all said that they had seen ghosts and died in the same way. Do ghosts really exist? I'm sure those are human's deeds, hence…" He gazed at Ji Yunshu, "I heard that Teacher Ji was traveling with the Prince. This humble one wishes to trouble Teacher Ji for a few days to solve this case."
You think this is as easy as playing house? The case can be solved just like that?
Ji Yunshu initially wanted to speak, but Jing Rong was a step ahead, "Lord Fang, in this big Yuzhou City, is there really no one who can solve this case? Is there no one capable in your yamen either?" He sounded condemning.
"Prince, this humble one has tried my best to find someone capable of solving the case, both inside and outside the city, to no avail. If the issue gets worse, the consequences will be inconceivable. Your Highness can just think of this as taking a rest for a few days."
"Lord Fang, you must have heard that this Prince has been ordered to investigate the missing relief silvers in Yufu county. Before this, we've already delayed our schedule in Shanhuai Province. If this matter gets delayed any further, this Prince cannot bear the consequences if questioned by the Emperor."
"This…" Fang Mingshan was distressed too. At the end of the day, Jing Rong was bearing an imperial order, and Teacher Ji was following the Prince. If they were heading to Yufu County, there was no way Ji Yunshu could stay in Yuzhou City alone. Moreover, Yuzhou City was under Fang Mingshan's governance. No matter how they assigned the case, Ji Yunshu would not be appointed for it. This was what frustrated Fang Mingshan.
Seeing Jing Rong's resolute attitude, Ji Yunshu reckoned that Jing Rong would not let her stay to help Fang Mingshan with the investigation of the case. "Prince, these cases are dangerous. If they can't find the murderer soon, there might be more deaths. Lord Fang had no other option, otherwise he would not have begged you."
Jing Rong stared at her, "Are you saying that you want to help with the cases?"
"Forget it." Jing Rong chimed, "This Prince know what you're thinking, you assume that this matter will not take up too much time."
"Five days."
"Give me five days time. If in five days and I still cannot find out the truth, then I'll leave for Yufu with the Prince," Ji Yunshu said.
Jing Rong frowned as he hesitated. He gazed at Fang Mingshan, who looked troubled, and told Ji Yunshu hard-heartedly, "No way. We cannot delay our journey to Yufu County anymore. Even if you don't solve this case, someone else will. When we have acquired all our necessities, we will depart immediately." He did not give Ji Yunshu a chance to speak. He then said to Fang Mingshan, "Lord Fang, since the royal court hired you to be the magistrate of Yuzhou City, you should be the one handling any matter that troubles this city. The royal court doesn't feed people who do no work; you should have understood this by now."
"Prince, this humble one…"
"Enough." He returned the tea. "We'll leave the tea too. This Prince planned to only stop by your banquet for a short while. So, for now, we will not disturb you further."
Fang Mingshan was anxious but he was unable to say anything more.
Jing Rong walked out of the room with his men, as he ordered Lang Po, "Ready all the necessities as soon as possible. We need to leave Yuzhou City before the sun sets."
Lang Po replied, "All the things are ready."
"Then we'll depart now. Bring Aunty Xie too."
The group then appeared outside the county yamen again. Ji Yunshu and Wei Yi were stuffed inside the carriage while Jing Rong was held back by Mo Ruo. "Don't you want to reconsider?"
Jing Rong said, "There's nothing to consider. You know what I'm worried about."
Of course Mo Ruo knew. "I know. But you can't keep her to yourself all the time. It's like breaking the eagle's wings and forcing it to swim in the water, or forcing the fish to leave the water and fly in the sky. You know exactly what kind of person Teacher Ji is. She was born to solve cases. What you're doing now is like cutting off her wings, isn't it? Moreover, five days' time isn't much. If you insist on leaving, there may be more lives sacrificed in Yuzhou City. Consequently, all these cases will be sent for appeal in the royal court, then Emperor and the Supreme Court will probably assign this case to Teacher Ji too. Isn't that a hassle?" Mo Ruo was finally sober for once, analysing the situation clearly and logically to Jing Rong.
Jing Rong finally showed some hesitation! At this instance, Fang Mingshan chased after them. He lifted his robe and knelt on the ground right away. He made a deep bow and pled.
"Prince, this humble one begs you to stay for just two days. Let Teacher Ji uncover the truth as a favour to the people of Yuzhou City. Please." He kowtowed, the sound of his forehead hitting the ground resounding. Everyone in the yamen, too, knelt down in plea.
Ji Yunshu came down from the carriage to see the imposing spectacle of all the Yuzhou officials kneeling down. Everyone was waiting for Jing Rong's decision.
Moments later…
Jing Rong said, "Fine, five days. Five days later, we all leave."
Ji Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she felt unburdened. Fang Mingshan kowtowed several times in gratitude. "Thank you, Your Highness."

BPC hiatus
BPC will be going on hiatus for one to two months while I get used to my workload at my day job, expand the BPC translation team, and rebuild a stock of chapters. Somehow, the whole BPC translating team has (different!) demanding day jobs relating to the medical field that limit our available time for translation, however much we love BPC. So please be patient and keep a lookout!
Meanwhile, let me just leave you with some of my dream BPC drama cast. Comment below if you have others in mind!

It's not an aversion to spending money. It's just that shopping is boring.
Which explains my history with lawnmowers.
I no longer recall how I got my first lawnmower. It was manual — very old, completely unpowered. Muscle power only.
It was used, of course, and by then the blades were completely dull. Instead of cutting, it pretty much just smooshed-down the dandelions. I never got the blades sharpened.
Then, one day, my sister was moving cross-country and she gave me her lawnmower. It was old, too, though not as old — and it was electric. Blades were less dull — they did manage to cut some of the dandelions, after a pass or two or three.
I used it for about 15 years. One of the wheels kept coming off mid-mow. Eventually I lost that wheel and just used it as a three-wheeled thing.
The thing in the back, where the mulched grass comes out, broke apart eventually. The protector thing. So what it did was just spit grass — and small rocks and twigs — at high velocity directly at my face. I started wearing safety glasses that I had inherited.
Even with the glasses, mowing the lawn became an experience in pain tolerance as pebbles hit me in the cheeks and forehead. And of course the glasses usually fogged up, so I couldn't really see what I was doing.
I did that for a few years. Because I really, really, really hate shopping. I would rather use this thoroughly dilapidated and dangerous thing than shop. Shopping is boring.
This is how I got to the age of 50 without having actually bought a lawnmower in my entire life.
Until my recent birthday, that is. I managed to make myself do a little research online, and Sheila did too, and she bought me a new cordless lawnmower as a birthday present.
And now, this day, right now, I'm charging the batteries, and after work I'm going to go outside and mow my lawn.
Without safety glasses! With sharp blades! Without having to manage a cord!
But have I learned my lesson — that, sometimes, shopping is a good idea, and shouldn't be put off so long?


Purpose behind my love of gifting others with yoga.
Photo Description: My wheel pose (Eka Pada Chakrasana) on my paddle board.
Reason #2: Bestowing a gift, a blessing of self-compassion.
Have you ever experienced a yoga class for the first time and thought, "Why have I not been involved in the practice of yoga before?" Or maybe you are a regular class goer, if so, have you been filled with a longing to return the next day? Longing to be filled with the joy of discovering what your body is capable of? Have you been challenged to calm the mind, strengthen the body, and bring about restoration and change deep down into the core of your very existence? Have you wanted to let others know about your most recent class and have them share in the same experience? Have you rested in Savasana at the end of a class, just bubbling over with peace for a rejuvenating few moments in time, fully able to rest your mind, your body, and your soul? If not, maybe you've been walking in and out of the wrong class over and over, rather than the one that is perfect for you!!!
Yoga has become such a part of my daily life. The calm that yoga brings to my mind, the peace it brings to my spirit, the joy it brings to my heart, and the smile it brings to my face, are all worth sharing with the world around me. I know the changes that have occurred within my life from walking down this healing road. To discover pure joy and incredible satisfaction in entering a class as a student and as a teacher each day, cannot and should not be contained only for myself. I have learned that a passion in life for what I love, is not worth sharing at all, if it is not offered as a gift to others out of the deep emotions of my own heart.
In every class I teach I become the student as well, asking myself the same questions as those I listed above. I enter each class noticing, observing with watchful eye, and ready with a gracious heart. Throughout the class I am aware, are the students experiencing their fullest potential? Have I encouraged them to succeed in helping them make the best use of their time with clear direction, attention to posture, and good alignment? Have they smiled, have they had a little giggle, have I helped ease their mind of worry, of competing, of comparing? Have I spoken in love, with a smile on my own face, and brought a sense of peace, of calm, of grace to the room? Can the students feel my grace enough to want to open their own life up to grace, to compassion for who they are deep inside? Are they experiencing healing, restoration, and a deeper understanding behind the purpose of this yoga class they have given their precious time to enjoy?
After the journey of a yoga class has come to a gentle close, I know that my efforts were a gift of love, a blessing from my heart, and a journey shared from my own experiences. I have traveled down a new path with the students. Has this path challenged them? Has it helped them to face the day with greater purpose, and a deeper love for self? Have I opened up a deeper part of who I am in every class that I teach, discovering the student within as I give of my time to teach others? Becoming vulnerable to the eyes looking back at me, but standing strong in the grace I have grown to know for myself, gracing others with this yoga that I love. The greatest blessing one can bestow upon oneself is self-compassion. It is my hope as I teach yoga that the student discover this blessing for the one life they have been given, the gift of self-compassion.

Q: Ubuntu 11.10 file system does not implement creationTime? From the following quote taken from the javadoc.

FileTime creationTime() Returns the creation time. The creation time
  is the time that the file was created. If the file system
  implementation does not support a time stamp to indicate the time when
  the file was created then this method returns an implementation
  specific default value, typically the last-modified-time or a FileTime
  representing the epoch (1970-01-01T00:00:00Z).
Returns: a FileTime representing the time the file was created

I get the last-modified-time instead of the creation time.
Is anybody else, having ubuntu 11.10, confirming that actually the Ubuntu 11.10 file system does not implement that function?
Thanks in advance.

A: This depends on the filesystem, ext3 doesn't store the creation time.
Ext4 does have a field 'crtime' that holds this information.
ext4 has been the default filesystem in Ubuntu since 9.10, so you probably have a ext4 filesystem.
edit:
Ok, apparently on Unix filesystems you cannot retrieve the creation timestamp, you simply get a copy of the last modification time.
In UnixFileAttributes.java:
@Override
public FileTime creationTime() {
    return lastModifiedTime();
}

The most memorable moment was easily at the state competition. One of my best friends was on the Paideia team and he cross-examined me. Our fathers are also friends and both of them are lawyers so it was quite a fun moment to have two lawyer dads watching their sons do mock trial.
Mock Trial was one of many experiences that helped me become a confident public speaker capable of thinking on my feet and reacting to different things as they happen. I am now a teacher myself so those skills are extremely valuable.
I absolutely loved GHS. Some of my best friends to this day are people I went to high school with. I learned so much about myself and how to relate to other people. There was so much unity in my class and in a world where we continue to struggle with issues of racism, I felt like our class was really an example of positive race relations. To be perfectly honest, the classes don't really stick out that much but I loved doing GNN and have some great memories of Riki Bolster and Thad Roberts. I also loved Larry McCurdy, Boon Boonyapat, Neil Block, Phil Mosier, Dianne Simmons, there were lots of great teachers. I played soccer and while we weren't the most successful team, we had some great times on the field. But the friendships I made were definitely the highlight and the thing I carry with me to this day.
After college I worked a few different jobs including catering, non-profit fundraising, and youth ministry. I then decided to take a TEFL course and teach English overseas. I left the US in 2009 and have spent the past 6 years teaching English around the globe. I've lived in Sudan, Ethiopia, Peru, Cambodia, and now I am in Bangkok, Thailand.
Davidson College - BA in History. I really wasn't sure what I wanted to do so I thought a liberal arts education would be interesting and beneficial. I loved Davidson and my studies sparked an interest in history. I learned a lot about hard work as academically it was much more challenging than Grady. I made lots of great friends and had a lot of fun. I also studied abroad in Greece my junior and that definitely got me interested in living and working abroad.
I think I answered this in a previous question. I'm still single so no kids of my own. I love teaching English and plan on continuing this as a career. As of right now I plan to return to Ethiopia next year and perhaps try to start my own language school, but we'll see what happens.
There are so many! Grady opened my eyes to living and interacting with people from different backgrounds. Church mission trips exposed me to different countries and the importance of service and helping others. My travels have opened my eyes to the world and I love learning about different cultures and the history of different countries. The world is a huge place and I want to see as much of it as I can before I die.
Find something that you love and pursue it. It doesn't matter what it is, everybody needs passion in their life. As for a job, try to figure out where your skills and interests intersect and make a career out of it. Earning money is important, but it's not the most important thing. It's super cliche, but I firmly believe it: work to live, don't live to work.
Yes, I'm always happy to speak with people. I suppose my area of expertise would be living abroad, studying abroad and working abroad. I can definitely help out anybody interesting in teaching English overseas.

The United States of America has fought for nothing less than life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. From the beginning, the citizens of the now-U.S.A. did not take kindly to those who took their unalienable rights – their freedom of speech, of religion, of press, of assembly. To put it simply, their freedom of choice. If nothing else, the simple act of choosing has shaped the United States tremendously. It was a choice for the colonies to take up arms and fight for their liberty against their mother country. It was a choice to march into Washington D.C., preaching words of peace and protesting against violence with pacifism. It was a choice to speak out against the silencing of both men and women alike in the media of today with the #MeToo movement. And on September 1, 2016, it was Colin Kaepernick's choice to kneel during the national anthem in protest of police brutality against the African-American community.
Free speech, as defined by the dictionary, is "the right to express any opinions without censorship or restraint." Being a part of the National Football League as a player for the San Francisco 49ers, Kaepernick used this to his advantage. Formerly, he had been known to sit during the national anthem; this did not attract the kind of attention his kneeling did for he was off on the sidelines, not standing next to his teammates (and not in sight of any of the cameras). It did, however, attract the attention of former-NFL player and veteran Nate Boyer. Despite his initial grievances with Kaepernick's protest, Boyer understood the reason behind the protest. Kaepernick even reached out to talk with the veteran to try and find a compromise between their two viewpoints. In the end, they reached a happy middle when Boyer suggested for Kaepernick to kneel, seeing as it was more respectful than sitting.

Despite the fact that an ex-Green Beret was the one who prompted the 49er's controversial protest, many are against the action. They see this as highly disrespectful towards the United States and its veterans. The Star Spangled Banner is the anthem for all those who support freedom, and veterans are the people who fought for said freedom; not partaking in honoring the United States' history of fighting for liberty was just plain insulting. On the other hand, athletes who have joined Kaepernick in "taking-a-knee" have stated that yes, they may be kneeling, but it isn't disrespectful; it is just a quick way to catch an audience's attention and direct it towards a bigger issue. This debate was pushed farther into the limelight by President Trump, who voiced his opinion on the subject in a series of tweets as well as at some of his rallies. It has grown like wildfire ever since. Even today, just over two years later, the flame has been rekindled with the unveiling of Kaepernick's Nike ad. Eventually, the fire will die back down, but one question will still remain in its ashes: which side is in the right? Like everything else, the answer is not as simple as the question. In defense of the athletes, many actions portrayed in today's media is, more often than not, blown out of proportion. It is either Heaven sent or touched by Hell, no in between. Also, like mentioned previously, the athletes who partook in this activity had no ill-will towards the United States; they just wanted to do their part in bringing light to a long-standing issue in the country: racism. They even chose to do so in the most courteous way possible because, despite this country's faults, they love it wholeheartedly. Eric Reid, another 49er and one of the first to adopt Kaepernick's way of protest, remembers thinking that "[the protester's] posture was like a flag flown at half-mast to mark a tragedy" and that when the protest is seen as disrespectful, it is being misconstrued. It is not about protesting the U.S., it's about protesting the mistreatment of African-Americans and other peoples of color by the police. Like Reid, many other athletes have shared Kaepernick's sentiments and are using their platform as nationally recognized individuals to make a difference. Bruce Maxwell, the first Major League Baseball player to take a knee, wrote "…Right now we're having a racial divide in all types of people. It's being practiced from the highest power that we have in [the United States], and he's basically saying that it's OK to treat people differently. [It's not]." These athletes are kneeling in hopes to eradicate a mindset that has hung around since the colonial era. A few feathers may have been ruffled, but if nothing ruffles, nothing flies. Conversely, the opposition towards taking a knee is mostly from those connected with the military. As U.S. citizens, we ask these men and women to lay down their lives in order to protect our country and its ideals. Since these protests usually require the participant to go against the norms of respecting both the song and the U.S. flag, they are seen as attacks against the United States government. It's essentially the equivalent to spitting or burning the flag. President Trump even deemed Kaepernick's kneeling as "unpatriotic" and went as far as to say that the NFL should be boycotted entirely.
Many people are also upset over the fact that some of these athletes, including Kaepernick, are grouping themselves together with those who are currently oppressed; it may be true that these people have been persecuted due to racial reasons in the past, but not as of present (at least, not publicly). Jerseys, posters, and other memorabilia are being burned by angry fans to show their distaste for such comments. Shane White, a lifelong 49er fan who torched a jersey on a Facebook video, wrote, "Colin says he's oppressed making $126 million. Well, Colin, here's my salute to you." This country has always been a prideful one, and in nearly 250 years later that has not changed. It is understandable why many people's reaction to these protests felt like a slap in the face rather than a weight being lifted off their shoulders. Human nature is not something that can be defined by just one simple action. Unlike the media outlets these kinds of controversies are printed on, these protests are not black and white. There are layers upon layers of thoughts and actions that must be analyzed in order to understand why one person feels one way and why another feels the opposite. T
he #TakeAKnee movement versus #BoycottNFL is a debate that may never be laid to rest as more and more evidence of racial injustice by authority figures comes to the surface; a lack of understanding on both sides is not beneficial for anyone either. Perhaps Nate Boyer, the man who helped start it all, has the correct idea towards a resolution. The only way there can be any hope to heal as a nation is if Colin Kaepernick and President Trump do what they should have done back in 2016: sit down and talk. After all, that's how it all started.

At one point in Starless Dreams, director Mehrdad Oskouei – who's only present in his film as a kind, measured voice – asks 'do you believe in fate?' 'I believe in everything,' comes the reply. 'In God?' he prompts. His interviewee answers: 'I'm not talking to him'.
Oskouei's documentary is set entirely behind the bars of an unnamed girls' juvenile detention facility in Tehran, not exactly a holy place. Another mention of God in Starless Dreams comes in the lyrics to a song being played by one of the inmates: 'I'm angry with you, God'. The incarcerated adolescents have a lot to be angry about – they have a clear understanding of how their situations can be directly traced to their upbringings in squalor and violence. There's no contrition here, just regret, rage, and profound sadness.
The film's success is in its portraiture. Like many of the best recent documentaries, there's no use of talking heads or archive footage, minimal voice-over, and little directorial interference: it's just carefully put-together footage of its subjects. As a result, the girls in Starless Dreams emerge – even over the brief 76-minute running time – as colourful individuals, resourceful and funny, caught in painful lives.
Talking matter-of-factly about drug-dealing and -addiction, about weapon-carrying charges and premeditated murder, the inmates – all teenagers, some alarmingly young in appearance – can switch suddenly between despair and bravado, between keening tears and wicked laughter. It is by showing both extremes (sardonic and tough one moment, heartbroken the next) that Oskouei both keeps his viewpoint balanced and generates empathy.
Starless Dreams is, ultimately, too short. It feels like only an introduction to its vivid characters. But the handful of moments and images it gives us are memorable and rich: the group of headscarf-wearing girls comparing mad family/life-as-a-junkie stories while plaiting the blonde hair of a Caucasian doll; an inmate's translated Tintin comics stashed in the slats of the bunk above her; the communal washing of an inmate's infant child; an Imam asking the girls' opinions on human rights and being inundated with apoplectic questions about judicial gender imbalance.
A quick, uncomfortable watch with some great real-life (anti-) heroines, Starless Dreams is a sincere and affecting documentation of another society's outcasts.

Q: How can I remove an .apk from a device with adb one simple question. I have an APP in an android device.
How can I unistall it via adb command line?
thanks a lot.

A: Run adb uninstall ..., where ... is your application ID.
By default, the application ID is the same as the package attribute on your <manifest> element in the AndroidManifest.xml file, though your build.gradle file might override that to have a different application ID.

A: If you want to uninstall when connected to single device/emulator
adb uninstall <package name>

else with multiple devices
adb -s <device ID> uninstall <package name>

A: adb uninstall com.company.apppackage

iPad App Video Review: GeoSpin HD
GeoSpin HD by Lazrhog Games is a 3D Puzzle game with colorful graphics and smooth gameplay. The object of the game is to match the different colored shapes to their corresponding spot on the polyhedron. To do this, the player needs to touch and drag the 3D shape around and then drag a piece from the side to its slot.
The concept is pretty easy but the game modes make this a challenge. There is the Time Attack mode where the player is challenged to set the best completion time possible for each puzzle and there is the Score Attack mode where the player must finish each puzzle before the clock runs out. In this mode, players will get bonus time for matching a color order or piece order designated at the beginning of the round.
The sound effects and the music were great in the game but some players may find the music to be too much to handle and opt to disable it.
Overall, aside from the lack of GameCenter support, there weren't too many things to dislike about this game. It was available for very cheap and comes in both an iPad and iPhone version with a free iPhone version available as well. It's definitely worth the purchase. Check it out.

The part in question was like this: "Calibration of each north/south and east/west channels."
I was feeling that the plural after "each" didn't fit.
Is it okay (especially when being formal, like in a conference contribution) to have "each" followed by the plural?
I'm rather sure that "each of the" would give a correct sentence. But maybe it is okay like this as well?
"Calibration of each channel, north/south and east/west" should do, I guess. For a minimal change, I would even prefer to keep the sentence as it is, but exchange "channels" for "channel".
Thanks anyone for their help!
Well, the issue is: are there several north/south flowing channels?
And you want to calibrate each one?
"Calibration of each of the north/south and east/west channels.
I'm rather sure that "each of the" would give a correct sentence. yes But maybe it is okay like this as well?


London-based construction training charity Building Lives claims 180 people currently on pre-employment training schemes face missing out on starting apprenticeships after the industry training board pulled £2m of future funding.
Sian Workman, interim managing director of the registered charity, said the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) told it on February 27 that it would no longer be providing any cash for its apprenticeship training.
"We were expecting to receive around £2m from the CITB up to August 2016, which would have accounted for around a third of our basic income," she said.
Ms Workman added the CITB's decision meant that 180 "hard-to-reach" recruits currently undertaking level one pre-employment construction training with the charity were now at risk of not getting onto level two apprenticeships as had been planned.
But, she claimed, the CITB had committed to continue funding 55 apprentices already training with Building Lives and a number of different employers until they completed their training.
Steve Rawlings, who founded Building Lives four years ago, said the charity could be forced to close without alternative funding.
"We have reacted quickly to redesign our model to attract additional funding, but it's an extremely worrying time for staff and learners," he said.
The CITB funds construction apprenticeships through training levy payments paid by construction firms.
Carl Rhymer, delivery and customer engagement director for the CITB, said his organisation had never directly funded Building Lives, but funded its apprentices through payments to the charity's partner employers.
He added: "We provide funds to in scope employers and in this case, a standard verification process revealed that an in scope employer had not complied with the grant scheme rules" — which was why the CITB pulled the funding, he said.
"The CITB is fully supportive of what Building Lives is doing to help unemployed and disadvantaged people, but we are unable to change these rules at will," he added.
A spokesperson for the CITB declined to comment on which employer had broken the rules, or which regulations had been breached.

My 95 SL 750 sits in the sun, and when I came home just now I found my cover was all wet and my ski was soaked with gas!!!! I have rinsed everything off (ski isn't on the water) and found out it is hissing from what seems to be a small vent near the handlebars when you open the hood. it's on the port side of the ski, it looks like there's another one on the starboard side for the oil tank. I checked all hoses and everything seems to be good there. even my SLX sits in the sun and it doesnt do this......can anyone help?!
Check the vent check valves on top of the tank. One is air in and one is air out. Is your tank overfilled?
thanks beer, is it normal for it to hiss a bit? it is still sitting in the sun. my SLX is a bit different, but doesn't hiss........what do you think?
I have never heard a hiss but the tank will pressurize to approx 1-2 psi. as that is the cracking pressure of the out cv. My 4 SL's sit outside in the sun with full tanks and have never had a fuel spill like yours??
yeah my hoses weren't routed properly. I believe it's just the relief vent letting out the extra pressure that I hear. no fuel spilled now!
I would check out which hose is routed to what. If you have your main bottom pick up routed to the vent, then the pressure from the heating air could push the fuel all the way up to the top of the vent. I do sometimes hear hissing from my vent, when it sits in the sun, or after fueling it up.
Gas Leak on SLT 780. HELP!!!
Hard to find boost leak ... Help?


Have you guys heard of shrinky dinks? I'm sure a lot of you have. This is a trend that seems to have skipped my generation, and that I have only just discovered! You can buy kits for making these (as shown here), but as you can guess, I have no interest in buying these... I want to make my own!
If I have the opportunity, I'd really like to get hold of this book! I've seen some extracts from it online and it looks super helpful. The tutorial that I find the most interesting is the twisted unicorn ring! So gorgeous!
Related to this book is the following *beautiful* tutorial!
Now, using proper shrink plastic is all right and fine, but I don't have much interest in starting with it! I am quite stingy when it comes to trying new crafts as I think it is silly to spend more money than you actually need to. I sometimes do, however, end up having to move onto proper products thanks to my many failed attempts :P But that's okay, I like learning with trial and error. I think that every crafter can grow from experimenting, and even if an idea doesn't work out, it may inspire ideas for a further project.
Now, let's move on to some tutorials on how to make your own shrink plastic! The following shows you how to make the plastic from simple supermarket plastic tubs.
If you sand the plastic, you can use coloured pencils. Sanding the plastic prevents the pencil from smudging.
I have also heard rumors of people using paints!
This tutorial involves some really gorgeous robots, and also one that didn't quite work out!
Okay, so now that we've got tutorials on how to make these yourself, if you're stiiiill not convinced, here's a really cool tutorial on how to make shrink buttons with shrink paper!
I'm going to try this out tonight- I suppose I'll be going past the shops to get a range of food in plastic containers on my way home!

Try setting an environment variable to enable logging

The folks at Tanamera Coffee got it right when they fine-tune the roasting profile for each coffee. Their success at the 2015 Melbourne International Coffee Exhibition has been very encouraging. They won the "Champion International Roaster".
The recipe for their success lies in their total involvement in the entire coffee production chain, from the sourcing of the beans to the roasting and the training of the baristas.

FLYHT Signs Its First Chinese Customer for Data Services
August 15, 2016 07:04 ET | Source: FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd.
CALGARY, AB--(Marketwired - August 15, 2016) - FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: FLY) (OTCQX: FLYLF) (the "Company" or "FLYHT") is pleased to announce the launch of real-time data services in the People's Republic of China. The undisclosed airline is the first Chinese customer to select data services provided by the Automated Flight Information Reporting System ("AFIRS™") on its fleet of CRJ-900 aircraft. This Chinese operator receives their new aircraft with AFIRS already installed from Bombardier as a line-fit option.
The aggregate data services revenue on this contract is initially valued at $1,050,000 USD assuming FLYHT provides services over the full term of the five (5) year agreement. The announced contract value is based upon the current in-service quantity of AFIRS-enabled Bombardier CRJ aircraft and an initial set of enabled data services provided by FLYHT's cloud-based UpTime™ products. The airline may add more aircraft to its operations in the future and may request that FLYHT provide these services to the additional aircraft as they join the airline's fleet, further increasing the value of the service contract. Additional UpTime products are available for the operator to add to the contract, which could also further increase the contract's value.
"FLYHT is pleased to provide data services for customers in China to enable cost savings and improved operational efficiencies," remarked Michael Fang, FLYHT's Vice President of China Sales. "By receiving real-time data, airlines can track their aircraft and AFIRS will alert the airline to any issues which allows them to be proactive with their maintenance and operations. We believe that signing this airline may open FLYHT up to new possibilities in China as other airlines see the value that real-time data can provide."
AFIRS is now contracted on over 100 aircraft in China with more units on order. FLYHT is positioned to capture additional value from its investments in the country with the delivery of data services and the recurring revenue that comes with it. This launch customer allows FLYHT to demonstrate the value and effectiveness of UpTime services to other China clients who have installed AFIRS for FLYHTVoice™ but have not yet enabled the cost saving data services possible with AFIRS.
About FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd.
FLYHT is a leading provider of real-time aircraft intelligence and cockpit communications for the aerospace industry. More than 50 customers, including airlines, leasing companies and original equipment manufacturers, have installed our systems in order to increase safety, improve operational efficiencies and enhance profitability. FLYHT's proprietary technology, the Automated Flight Information Reporting System (AFIRS™), operates on multiple aircraft types and provides functions such as safety services voice and text messaging, data collection and transmission, and on-demand streaming of flight data recorder (black box), engine and airframe data. AFIRS sends this information through the Iridium Satellite Network to FLYHT's UpTime™ ground-based server, which routes the data to customer-specified end points and provides an interface for real-time aircraft interaction. AFIRS has flown over 2.2 million aggregate flight hours and 1.5 million flights on customers' aircraft. FLYHT holds supplemental type certificates (STC) which allow for the installation of AFIRS on 95% of transport category aircraft.

Trove of new dinosaur fossils in Italy helps rewrite prehistory of the Mediterranean region
These skeletons represent the biggest and most complete dinosaur fossils ever found in Italy

A trove of new dinosaur skeletons unearthed at a palaeontological site in Italy has helped reconstruct the history, geography and evolution of the ancient Mediterranean area.
Until now, scientists believed the area, around 230 to 66 million years ago, would have been hard to map as it was formed by countless small islands far from the major mainland of Europe, Africa and Asia and was unsuitable to sustain large animals like dinosaurs.
Scientists, including those from the University of Bologna in Italy, have now assessed multiple exceptionally complete dinosaur skeletons from the Villaggio del Pescatore site near Trieste, in north-eastern Italy and published their findings in the journal Scientific Reports on Thursday.
The prehistoric site and the fossils are likely from about 80 million years ago, pertaining to the Cretaceous period and about 10 million years older than previously thought, according to the study.
These skeletons belong to the species Tethyshadros insularis and represent the biggest and most complete dinosaur fossils ever found in Italy.

Palaeontologists also found fossil remains at the site, including those of prehistoric fish, crocodiles, flying reptiles and even small crustaceans, providing a vivid snapshot of the region's ecosystem during this time.
The findings also question and rewrite several evolutionary hypotheses to interpret the ancient Mediterranean.
Since one of the first fossil discoveries in the region from this prehistoric period was that of the relatively small dinosaur skeleton nicknamed "Antonio", scientists thought it was a "dwarf" species and an example of the so-called "island rule" of evolution, where bigger animals gradually shrank in an insular environment due to the scarcity of resources.
Based on this interpretation, geologists interpreted the fossil discovery site as part of an island in the middle of a "proto-Mediterranean" ocean called Tethys.

Scientists now, however, pointed out that "Antonio" could have been an immature individual of the species, as a result of the discovery of new dinosaurs at the site.
This is because of the discovery of "Bruno", which is bigger in size, and which represents an individual that could have still been growing at the time of death.
The new research suggests that this part of Italy was on land connected to western Europe and Asia and that faced a vast ocean.

"The earlier dating coincided with a time of less extensive fragmentation of this region, and the higher connectivity with the wider, continental Asian domain is indicative of potentially higher biotic interchange, if not vicariance with the Asian biogeographic province," the scientists wrote in the study.
Ancient Mediterranean consisted not only of islands, but also several migratory routes like land bridges that dinosaurs might have used to travel in this part of Italy, the scientists added.

Q: Flutter: ListView scrolls back to origin when setState is called I have a horizontal ListView with a bunch of Icons. When a user clicks on an Icon, I call setState to track the index of the selected item (so I can highlight it).
The problem is that whenever an item is selected, the ListView scrolls right back to the beginning (see the GIF below):

Here's the code:
class _FormScreenState extends State<FormScreen> {
  int selectedCategory = 0;
  final categories = [
    {'icon': Icons.shopping_basket, 'category': 'Shopping'},
    {'icon': Icons.local_cafe, 'category': 'Eating out'},

How do I prevent it from scrolling back?
I've tried:

*

*adding physics: ScrollPhysics() to the ListView (no change in behavior)

*adding key: ObjectKey(_list.hashCode) to the ListView (no change in behavior)

A: Remove final _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>(); from build method and make its as state variable.
class _FormScreenState extends State<FormScreen> {
  final _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();
  ...

  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Form(

Serena Williams enjoyed a one-sided victory over her older sister Venus, although there will be concerns over her fitness after she survived an early injury scare.
The 36-year-old met her sister for the 30th time on Saturday night, with this encounter coming more than 20 years after their first.
It was a strange sight to see the pair meet so early in Grand Slams – indeed, only their first meeting in the second round of the Australian Open in 1998 came earlier than this – but 38-year-old Venus was some way short of matching her younger sister on the night.
While she was able to exert her dominance in a 6-1 6-2 win over the seven-time major winner, Serenas hopes of winning a seventh US Open and a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title must hang in the balance after an awkward fall early in the match.
Her ankle was heavily strapped and recovery will be key ahead of her fourth-round tie with Estonias Kaia Kanepi.
On her way to court, Serena admitted she felt honoured to be a part of the historic match-up.
Its amazing how Venus and I have been able to continue to play after so many years, she said. I feel honoured to be part of this amazing duel.
But while only Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova (22) have met more times than the Williams sisters (16) in majors, this was not one of their most competitive battles. In truth, it left a lot to be desired.
After a fast start, where the 23-time Grand Slam champion held with ease and set up break points, disaster nearly struck for Serena as she was wrong footed by her sister and appeared to roll her ankle.
The break point chances passed and Venus held, before Serena required treatment at the changeover after just three games.
Despite the heavy taping she received on her right foot – it was a wonder that she was able to get her shoe back on – Serena struck once they returned to court, moving 3-1 up.
A second break soon followed as Serena asserted her dominance over her older sibling, winning her fourth game in a row since receiving medical treatment and wrapping up the first set.
An early break saw Serena assume control of the second set and while Venus ended a seven-game losing streak with a brave hold, the damage was done.
Another break – this time to love – followed and Serena stormed into the last-16.


Although it doesn't seem like it this year (because it's still BRRRRRR outside), it is coming around to the warm, sunny season where we finally get to spend our days enjoying the outside! Barbeques, camping, fishing, and boating! All the things we love most are full of summer fun!
Summer fun includes Independence Day as one of the most memorable parts of the summer! We all have come to love our American traditions of family barbeques, cool treats, parades, the familiar red, white, and blue attire, and of course, FIREWORKS!
Although the East Helena Fireworks show has been a tradition since 1957, it is only Shellie's Country Cafe's third year managing this huge project. We hope to be able to continue with this project as long as possible to bring the tradition to Helena, East Helena, and all of the surrounding communities. We surely wouldn't be able to keep this up without the help from our amazing community members!
We have the most amazing community of small businesses and patriots that have supported us the last many of years to make this project a possibility. Without these great businesses and individuals, we could not keep this going year after year. We would love to give a huge shout out to the awesome businesses that made the last year's fantastic firework show possible! These businesses have contributed to the community year after year and do what they can to support local organizations like ours!

School Construction Projects Total $527M
Monday, Dec. 5, 2022 12:00 am 3 min read
Little Rock's Lacey K-8 Academy is expected to be finished in January 2024. (Rendering provided)
Public and private school construction projects underway in Arkansas total $527.51 million, a 74% increase from the total on last year's list of commercial construction projects.
The 28 school projects for grades K-12 on the Arkansas Business list range from new schools to safe rooms on school campuses.
Last year's list featured 21 public and private school projects with a total valuation of $302.5 million.
Nationwide, spending on educational projects totaled $96.7 billion in September, an increase of 1.4% from the same time a year ago, according to an Associated Builders & Contractors analysis of data published by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Total nonresidential spending for the month was $883.9 billion, up 9.2% from the previous year.
"Many projects under construction in America began prior to the rapid increase in borrowing costs that started earlier this year," ABC Chief Economist Anirban Basu said in a Nov. 1 news release, predicting that contractors who focus on public construction could fare better than those in segments more vulnerable to economic trends.
Arkansas' costliest current school project is the Dr. Marian G. Lacey K-8 Academy for the Little Rock School District. At $87.2 million, it's No. 5 on the list. The new school replaces John L. McClellan High School and features 235,000 SF, three stories and 64 classrooms.
Designed by Cromwell Architects Engineers Inc. of Little Rock, it will have eight spaces for fine arts, six project rooms for science and one of the first tornado shelters in the district.
The school, at 9417 Geyer Springs Road, sits on 14 acres and will be built for more than 1,400 students.
The project has been largely free of complications and is scheduled to open in January 2024. Clark Contractors LLC of Little Rock is the contractor.
The Springdale School District has three projects on the list, totaling $133 million. Its Central Junior High addition, which includes renovations, is the largest with a $52.66 million valuation. Next is a $46.83 million project at Southwest Junior High that includes additions and renovations. Baldwin & Shell Construction Co. of Little Rock is undertaking both. The Springdale High School classroom building and physical education complex is a $33.55 million job being handled by Flintco LLC of Springdale.
Other school construction ventures are going beyond the classroom.
In the Pulaski County School District, a $15.8 million project to improve Maumelle High School's athletic facilities is being built by Kinco Constructors of Little Rock.
"The district was the beneficiary of a bond restructure, and they allocated quite a bit of money to catch us up with athletic facilities ... comparable to others in the district," said Kirk Horton, the school's athletic director.
Additions will include a track, an indoor practice facility and baseball and softball fields with turf infields and grass outfields.
"When this place was originally built in 2011, they did not build a track, and they did not have playable baseball and softball [fields]," Horton said. "So we've been having to run our track meets all on the road." Baseball and softball games have been played at the community park.
The project was designed by WDD Architects of North Little Rock and is expected to be ready for use in August.
Safe room projects are also under construction. The Harmony Grove district in Saline County is building one for $4.9 million, with Little Rock's Kinco Constructors as contractor.
A safe room is a fortified space to provide a haven during tornadoes or other threats, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
"A lot of school districts have started adding safe rooms to their existing facilities," said Jodi Phillips, a project manager at Nabholz Construction Corp. of Conway. Safe rooms are also being added to new school projects.
Nabholz is building a $1.9 million safe room for the Searcy County School District in Marshall. The precast concrete room measures 38 feet long and 92 feet wide, Phillips said.
It will provide an additional dining space and perhaps be used for special classes, Phillips said. The stand-alone building will hold about 500 students. Modus Studio of Fayetteville designed it, and the project is expected to be completed in January.

The Sweet Taste of Revenge: Penguins defeat Titans after embarrassing loss a season ago
Sports January 19, 2014 / 12:04 AM January 19, 2014
DJ Cole
Junior guard DJ Cole brought a different type of intensity during Saturday's win against the University of Detroit Mercy Titans. Cole had a career best in points (22) and 3-point field goals made (4).
"My first instinct is to be a pass first point guard, but if I have the open shot I will take it," Cole said, "and tonight they were sagging off of me tonight and I just got into a rhythm. They just kept going in, so I just kept shooting."
Head coach Jerry Slocum thought that Cole did a great job with taking pressure off of senior guard Kendrick Perry. Detroit's game plan was to shut Perry down by double-teaming him, but when the pressure was on Cole, he stepped up.
Cole was all over the court in the 77-63 victory. He wasn't just shooting the ball well; he was making smart decisions as well. Slocum said the team was spreading the ball around nicely.
"We had 20 assists on 24 field goals. When you're doing that, it means your sharing the basketball and doing those things," Slocum said.
This win is a confidence booster for the Penguins (12-8, 3-2 in the Horizon League). YSU was 0-2 in the conference at the beginning of conference play.
"Every game is going to be a grind. We just have to put our all on the floor every night for 40 minutes," Cole said.
Cole wasn't the only one playing with a different type of intensity. Three other teammates were in double figures and had revenge on their mind just like Cole.
"They put up 100 points on our home floor last year," Cole said. "That's probably one of the worst losses in YSU history. We talked about it, but we came out and showed we didn't want that to happen again."
The Titans defeated YSU, 101-60, last year at Beeghly Center.
"Your not human if it didn't motivate you," Slocum said. "You can't have that happen in your own building and not have a memory to it."
Slocum also felt the intensity, saying it was a "typical Horizon League, hard fought, 40-minute blood bath."
The game got even more intense when Detroit's senior forward, Evan Buinsma, brought Perry down hard on a failed dunk attempt late in the game. The ruling was a flagrant foul for the incident, and he would later foul out of the game.
Slocum didn't think there was any spiteful intent towards Perry when he was fouled.
"Buinsma is a classy kid," Slocum said. "There's no way in my mind there was any malicious intent."
Last year the Penguins couldn't catch a break when playing Detroit. The Titans swept the floor with the Penguins beating them by 41 points.
This win gives YSU a three-game winning streak. The Penguins will play Valparaiso University Thursday at the Beeghly Center beginning at 7:05 pm.

The land that we now call India was, for most of the history of the Earth, just one part of a larger supercontinent, known as Gondwanaland. To the west, India was connected to what would eventually become Africa and Madagascar. To the east, it shared a land border with what would later become Australia. Then, 125 million years ago while the dinosaurs still ruled the world, movements below the Earth's crust led to the supercontinent to split open, like the shell on a boiled egg.
Many geologists believe that as India started to drift towards the landmass that would one day be known as Asia, it rolled over what is known a geological hotspot, a point where the immense heat and pressure of the Earth's mantle breaks through the crust and spews forth tons and tons of molten rock every day for millions of years. The Deccan plateau and the beautiful Deccan Traps, which one can experience on a drive from through most of Maharashtra and Northern Karnataka, are the byproducts of the layers of lava that were deposited on the surface of Southern India.
The hotspot is still active, though with little of its original force and destructive potential left. You can see it at the island of Reunion, a short distance from Mauritius. Like the Seychelles, the Maldives, and the Lakshadweep, Mauritius is one of the many islands that mark the path India took all those years ago, starting at the southeastern coast of Africa. These islands formed as the Earth's crust slowly rolled over the stationary hotspot.
The Reunion hotspot and subsequent Deccan Traps happened around 66 million years ago, coinciding quite neatly with the era of the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs. Some climatologists and paleontologists hypothesize that the dinosaurs' demise is partly due to the vast amounts of carbon dioxide and other poisonous gases released from these constant volcanic eruptions over tens of thousands of years.
The Indian landmass moved fast (by geological standards) and crashed into the Asian plate some 50 million years ago, crushing, folding, and finally pushing the seafloor in between them higher and higher, until they became the Himalayas, the tallest mountains in the world. Thus, India's geological birth, much like its political birth, began with a partition, followed by a series of trials by fire, before picking up speed and crashing onto the world stage.
The Himalayas are probably the first step in defining the Idea of India, for they are the basis on which the subcontinent can differentiate itself from the lands that surround it, and indeed most places on Earth. The Himalayas protected India from the Arctic winds that leave most of central Asia a cold and lifeless desert. They also protected India from many invasions from the dwellers of the central Asian steppe. When Genghis Khan defeated China, ravaged Persia, and almost conquered Europe, India was protected from the horde by the nigh-impenetrable walls of the Himalayas.
Around 70,000 years ago, one extremely resourceful group of animals — apes later known as Homo Sapiens or Human Beings – managed to make their way out of Africa. Scientists estimate their numbers as being in the hundreds or perhaps the low thousands. Hugging the coasts, they crossed the Near East and Iran, and entered India. The equitable climate and easily availability of food led many of them to settle in this new land.
Over thousands of years, these first Indians would be joined by many, many more. Each of them would bring with them their own language, beliefs, and Gods. Something about this land made them all want to stay. It was a land where for the longest time, life – either as a hunter-gatherer or as a farmer – was not as difficult as it was in most of the rest of the world. Most likely this allowed them the time and security to ponder larger questions of life, purpose, and duty, leading them to develop an open and accepting view of the world and of people.
Watered by rivers that emerged from these mountains, with a climate that balanced hot summers with a plentiful rainy season, the Indian subcontinent flourished with life for millions of years. The word India comes from the river Indus, and similarly, the word Hindu comes from Sindhu, meaning river. The authors of the Vedas referred to the land as the Sapt Sindhu, or Seven Rivers. Perhaps the essential Idea of India is best captured by the metaphor of the river: a life-giving source that nourishes the many cultures that have lived here, a geography that many have tried to colonize and remake in their own image; yet India flows on, finding its way around any obstacle, absorbing everything into its own path, changeless at its core, yet forever moving.

Quotable quotes from MedPage Today's sources
by MedPage Today Staff January 15, 2016
"I thought we had resolved this issue a long time ago." -- Robert Smith, PhD, of the American Cancer Society, on the use of overall mortality as the primary endpoint for cancer screening studies.
"The meaningful use program as it has existed will now effectively be over and be replaced with something better," said CMS acting administrator Andy Slavitt, MBA, on the much maligned program for promoting EHR usage.
"The persistence of the biennial recommendation has begun to enter the consciousness of physicians and patient," Adam Cifu, MD, of the University of Chicago, discussing the new USPSTF breast screening guidelines.
"The USPSTF underestimates the undeniable life-saving benefits of screening mammography and overestimates the potential risks," Jay A. Baker, MD, of Duke University Medical Center, on the same guidelines.
"Never before has so many trials been carried out in such a short period of time with such a wide variety of designs, and on a therapy whose true effect size is so small, so as to make it this easy to quantify the different forms of bias ... This may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study how fallible we are, despite having split the atom, travelled to the moon, and melted the ice-caps." Darrel Francis, MD, of Imperial College London, regarding a study on bias in renal denervation studies for resistant hypertension.
"The CDC is investigating is whether the bacteria that causes pertussis is changing and so the vaccine isn't as effective as it used to be (that's what happens with flu and why we need a tweaked vaccine each year)." Christine Troisi, PhD, of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston School of Public Health, on potentially decreased pertussis vaccine effectiveness.
"In the movie, instead of Bennet and I bringing the slides to Ron Hamilton, they have Bennet and Ron bringing them to me. And Ron says as they're walking in -- I can't even say this out loud -- 'Have you met the great DeKosky, he will probably only give you a few minutes.' I don't give anyone 2 to 3 minutes -- I'm a talker!" Steven DeKosky, MD, of the University of Florida, about his portrayal in the movie "Concussion."
"What if a physician comes upon a sick person in the street and hasn't received the proper training for a physical exam? Does she or he have to abandon that sick individual? We cannot teach our medical students to become reliant upon advanced technologies without which they become useless." Valentin Fuster, MD, of the Mount Sinai Ichan School of Medicine in New York City, on the stethoscope's continued usefulness
"I think it's always dangerous for politicians to interfere with independent scientific rulings." Kenneth Lin, MD, of Georgetown University in Washington, commenting on the congressional budget act's potential impact on screening mammography.
"There is indisputable evidence that daily long-term aspirin will lower the risk of colorectal cancer as well as of cardiovascular events, but, at the same time, increase the risk of serious gastrointestinal bleeding," says Eric Jacobs, PhD, of the American Cancer Society in Atlanta, on aspirin's chemopreventive effect.
"From a public health perspective, our results imply that efforts should be considered to reduce the incidence of RA by reducing occupational exposure to textile dust." -- Chun Lai Too, PhD, of the Institute for Medical Research in Kuala Lumpur, on finding an almost tripled risk of rheumatoid arthritis among textile workers.
