18th Mar 09:12 Social media is here to stay. There. I said it. It will be around in some form for years to come. Do you really see Facebook, Twitter and Web videos going somewhere? Or do you just see them evolving and becoming part of a larger system the same way business blogs did? Great. Then we can start figuring out how to use social media to our benefit. Now that we're past this issue of whether we are in love with MySpace, LinkedIn, Facebook, Ning, etc., and we realize that we're focusing on whether these tools are useful or not, (not on whether or not they give us the warm fuzzies), there's still a fundamental question. This goes for whether you're using Facebook pages, Facebook ads, or a regular Facebook profile. How do you know if sites like Facebook are for YOU? How can you tell if a social networking site can help YOUR company? It boils down to three things. 1- Are There Enough People on the Site in Your Interest Area for it to Be Worth Your While? You have to think about business connections too, not just clients. You can connect with people who send you business. Think about what the value of a new client is too, whether you think you can get one out of 100, and how long it takes. When people come to your profile, are they visiting your site? If not, is your profile set up correctly? Experiment. There are several very subtle things you can do that maximize your exposure, not just daily clicks through to your site. To find out if there are enough people on Facebook who need your plumbing services, search for home improvement groups. Check your regional network and look on the Marketplace page. See if you can find people in your local area to befriend who would need your services - but for heaven's sake, don't be aggressive in your promotion. Instead, create a Facebook page, run an ad, or have the type of networking conversations where "so, what do you do?" will naturally come up. And you can take it from there. Networking at Facebook can be like hanging out at a neighborhood mixer. Yeah, you might want to mention that you're a handyman, or that you work at the bank, and give someone your card, but you don't want to turn those first few getting-to-know-you conversations into a sales pitch. Let them know who you are, what you do, and after a few conversations, send them a no-strings coupon for them or a friend "just in case you ever need it buddy" and go on being friends. They'll remember you if you keep in touch, and are a nice enough guy. 2- Does your company have an RSS-capable site that updates frequently? If it does, a profile on Facebook gives you another place to share your RSS link. You can import your blog posts going forward, or summaries. There are also applications like NetworkedBlogs that will help your blog posts get exposure from interested readers. 3- Do you already have clients, friends, associates, whose signal you can isolate, or whose noise you can penetrate, using Facebook? This has to be the most underestimated use of Facebook. My first month at Facebook I had direct interactions with ten influential people I admire. Some of them I look up to for personal reasons, others are greats in some aspect of search, the internet or technology. One actually sent me a client. Instead of installing hundreds of applications and super-poking someone or posting spam to their Super Wall, you can be the smart person who sends a letter and gets a response, the one who sends a private message and is sent a gift in return, or just get the wonderful feeling of having a world famous personality you admire not only acknowledge you, but contact you directly. One of the greatest things about Facebook is how it can help cement relationships between you and people you know but didn't think you had much in common with. You know how sometimes, you want to write to say hello to someone, but at the same time, you don't want to waste their time? Or when you think about some great author or celebrity you admire, and what you'd say to them if you could meet them? Maybe you just want to compliment a more famous colleague and not sound like a dork. Facebook can help with this when it functions as an automatic ice-breaker, facilitating an intial contact between you and someone you wish you had more reason to interact with, then another, and another, until you become friends who call each other on the phone and plan to visit or meet at conferences. Those are the reasons. It's not a matter of time because you can block all the nuisance requests and there are ways around the irritating app requests. It's not a matter of just traffic because first, you can set up a profile in 15 minutes to automatically send you traffic and never mess with it again if you like. Or you can go in and meet people every day and it can be a major traffic source. And it's not a matter of whether you can get anything out of it - it's more a matter of whether you're willing and whether the available traffic is targeted to your topic. It's not for everyone, because let's face it, not everyone wants to do the work, or even use Facebook that way. And that's okay! For some people, it's a nice little escape, like a mental, online Starbucks. For some it's a bother, and the pain of learning a new way to do things isn't worth the time. I don't mean that sarcastically - if you're functioning as a CEO, you may not want to focus on Facebook. With a little research, you can find out what kind of role it will play in your life.

    NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    mNotificationManager.notify(0, mBuilder.build());
}

A: So..finally I found the solution a with my professor using the sleep on the asynctask and using a flag in a new function that is called in the onPostExecute creating a new Asynctask..Hope this can help to someone who need it.
@Override

    url = "http://" + url + "/arduino/216";

    GetArduinoData();
    return START_STICKY;
}

public void GetArduinoData(){
    new ReadJSON().execute(url);
}

public void GetDataReady(){
    if (windowstate != "Open"){
        //do something
    } else {
        //do something
    }
}

private class ReadJSON extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {

    protected String doInBackground(String... urls) {
        try {
            Thread.sleep(10000);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return readJSONFeed(urls[0]);
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        try {

Do All Elderly Drivers in Rhode Island Get Their Driver's License Suspended or Face Restrictions?
Most traffic rules and regulations imposed by the Rhode Island Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) apply to all drivers regardless of age. While the state claims that it has no special rules for motorists based on age alone, there are special license renewal requirements for drivers who are 75 and older.
Other legal rules that may be relevant to older drivers include possible restrictions of an elderly driver's license and procedures for securing disability parking plates and placards.
Fact: Older drivers, particularly those who are 75 or older, have higher crash death rates compared to their middle-aged counterparts (aged 35-54). Elderly drivers are also presumed to be more likely to cause auto accidents.
This is evident from a recent car accident in Seekonk, Massachusetts, involving an elderly driver from Providence, Rhode Island.
Elderly Driver, 76, Hits Three Women with His Vehicle
According to The Sun Chronicle, the elderly driver hit three women with his vehicle in a Route 6 shopping plaza parking lot. The 76-year-old driver faces license revocation and charges, including negligent operation of a car.
The elderly driver from Providence hit the three women while backing up near Ocean State Job Lot. He also hit another vehicle. As a result of the collision, one woman was pinned under his car. Firefighters had to use airbags to lift the vehicle and free the victim.
Two other women sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Police are seeking to have the 76-year-old driver's license revoked in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. A court summons has been issued.
Rhode Island's License Renewal Rules for Older Drivers
Rhode Island has special rules for drivers aged 75 and older who seek to renew their driver's license:
While drivers under 75 are required to renew their licenses every five years, older drivers must do so every two years.
A road test may be required at the discretion of DMV personnel.
A written may be required at the discretion of DMV personnel.
A free vision test is required at renewal (performed by a licensed eye specialist).
Possible Driver's License Restrictions for Elderly Drivers
Rhode Island's DMV may also place restrictions on an older driver's license after conducting a driving test and discussing these possible restrictions or conditions with the motorist.
For example, the requirement to wear glasses or corrective contact lenses is a common restriction for drivers aged 75 or older in Rhode Island. Other requirements include:
Installing mechanical control devices in the motor vehicle.
Driving only during daylight hours (only if a licensed eye specialist determines that seeing well at night is a problem).
Other restrictions may apply depending on the driver's driving ability.
Getting Parking Placards as an Older Driver in Rhode Island
If an elderly driver's mobility is impaired or he/she has other disabilities or conditions certified by a licensed medical practitioner, that driver may have to get a parking placard and plate. These placards and plates can be obtained by those who:
Cannot walk without the use of an assistance device
Use portable oxygen
Are legally blind
Have a serious cardiac condition
Are severely restricted by lung disease

The Seattle Skeptics* MeetUp group has arranged for UW climate scientist Dargan Frierson, Ph.D., to give a presentation on the science of climate change. There will be time for questions and discussion afterward. Dargan teaches highly popular UW courses for freshmen on up to graduate students on the basics of global warming through advanced atmospheric science topics. Come meet the Skeptics and learn about Climate Science!
Description: A brief overview of the science of global warming, its causes, evidence, along with some future projections, societal and environmental impacts, and potential solutions. A very brief introduction to the debate on global warming with a focus on scientific issues. Bio: Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Princeton University, 2005, Associate Professor at the UW Department of Atmospheric Sciences. "My research group develops and uses climate models to help build an understanding of how the planet works. We study everything from rain bands and winds in the tropics to temperature and cloud patterns in the polar regions. I teach classes for non-scientist undergraduates up to graduate students on topics such as geophysical fluid dynamics, climate modeling, and climate change. I'm also interested in public outreach and participate in groups that give talks, make videos, and create video games about climate science.
* The Skeptics aren't climate deniers, just want to hear about the science of climate change.


I recently read this question and answers in "The Last Word" column in New Scientist. I had to type it out and share it. This is a selected extract of the answers, with my emphasis added.
Question: Why are adults and teenagers less imaginative than children?
I'm assuming that by "imaginative", the questioner is thinking of such things as "if you plant budgie seed, do budgies grow?" If an extra-terrestrial asked such a question, you wouldn't think they were imaginative, you would think they had limited understanding and experience of life on Earth, or perhaps the strangeness of the English language.
If imagination is what produces inventive, speculative fiction, and then turns that fiction into a reality, then it is a quality that is not lost as people get older.
The answer is that they are not. Children are happy to imagine a fat gentleman can make a single sledge pulled by reindeer fly and become capable of delivering presents to half the world's children, that the said gentleman is capable of stuffing himself and these presents down chimneys far too restrictive to accommodate either him or the presents, and all this in the space of 24 hours. Adults can still imagine this, but are more sceptical.
Children show no inhibition in putting their imagination into words because even if their propositions are outrageous, they will be indulged by adults. Adults keep theirs to themselves because they know they will be either exploited, challenged, laughed at, or arrested.
Many young children's imaginative observations and questions are to do with not understanding how such things as behaviours, objects, and processes are categorised. As we grow we learn a staggering array of social and physical facts: trees cannot walk, fish do not arrange birthday parties, and so on.
Asking "imaginative" questions that are across categories is critical for learning about how the world works and is, fortunately, seen as charming in small children. However, in older children similar observations may be seen as "proof" that basic understanding about how objects, animals, or processes work or are categorised hasn't been learned. As a result, the child may be teased or told off for being babyish or silly.
Our socio-cultural system values logical, rational, linear thinking higher than intuitive, divergent, imaginative thinking – unless someone has made a lot of money from being imaginative with a novel, film, or invention. People who think "sideways" or in imaginative ways are frequently dismissed or admonished by peers, parents, and teachers for trivialising, daydreaming, or messing about. They are not being s sensible, serious, or responsible grown-up. As no-one likes to be a social outcast, most people censor and inhibit their "silly" or imaginative thoughts.
Imaginative thinking like any other kind of thinking is a skill and it atrophies with lack of use. This is why so many adolescents and adults are perceived as being less imaginative than children.
Those of us who continue to work with imaginative thinking throughout our lives can comfortably give 5-year-olds a run for their money. Real creative thinking – whether in art, literatures, science, or engineering – demands we play with and deliberately mix up categories and types to come up with new ways of seeing existing situations or problems.
Revel in your imagination. Revel in the fact that it is more mature and knowledgeable than the imagination of a child, and thus can come up with far more interesting flights of fancy and can lead to creative output of high quality. Exercise it. Imagine something weird, strange, or amazing every day.
And, at least occasionally, do something with those imaginings. Turn them into projects, or artworks, or writing.
You don't have the excuse that you're not as imaginative as a child.

Texas Lawmaker Plans To Introduce DFS Legislation
Regulation of DFS contests is on the mind of many US legislators, including in the state of Texas.
For years, daily fantasy sports contests took place within the United States with no issues. That is, until last year. In 2015 and into this year, many states decided to rule the gaming option an illegal gambling activity and sites such as FanDuel and DraftKings had to stop offering services. Over the past few months, several states have started to look at regulating the DFS industry and laws have been passed to do so. It seems the state of Texas is the latest to jump on the DFS legislation bandwagon.
DFS Legislation to Come
According to the Texas Tribune, a lawmaker in the state of Texas has plans to introduce a bill that would provide regulations for the daily fantasy sports industry. If the bill were to pass into law, clarity would be provided in a legal sense in regards to the industry. Currently, DraftKings offers DFS contests in the state while FanDuel does not.
Representative Richard Peña Raymond has plans to propose legislation of which he has already drafted. The representative says the bill will classify fantasy sports as a game of skill and not one of chance. A bill would render a decision by the Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton null and void, that the gaming option is considered illegal gambling based on the constitution. When this opinion was formed, FanDuel left the state while DraftKings continued to fight the opinion.
Surprisingly the bill was drafted due to constituents who felt the opinion of the attorney general was wrong and not from the request of the DFS operators. The bill was written based on input that individuals gave the representative, stating that they do not believe the AG is right in his decision.
While having a proposal on the table in regards to DFS gaming is great for the state, it may be some time before the measure will even be introduced or come to pass. Texas legislator will not be back in session until January of next year. So it means that any movement of the measure would take months before it would even be considered.
However, this does give legislators months to consider the option and provides the representative with the option to lobby for his cause. Many states across the US are looking at DFS so it makes sense for lawmakers to look at the activity and consider regulations in Texas. it seems more states are leaning towards regulations to earn revenues as well as provide consumer protections for gamers who are taking part in the activity anyways.
A Little Background
DFS gaming was able to operate easily in Texas until earlier their year. Paxton seemed to jump on the same bandwagon as other AG's who decided that DFS operations were illegal. In his opinion, Paxton stated:
The opinion by the AG did not result in an immediate removal of services by operators. Both FanDuel and DraftKings spoke out against the opinion and waited until the month of March to take action. FanDuel left the state while DraftKings has been fighting in court.
For now, we know that legislation is being created and Texas may eventually join the list of states in the US that has regulations in place in regards to DFS gaming.

Mosses grow well in the cool, damp climate.
Most of the plants growing in the Flow Country are mosses from the Sphagnum family: thirty-four different species grow in Scotland. They can be difficult to tell apart, but all of them have stems and branches covered in tiny leaves, no more than 2mm long, made from a single layer of cells.
Some of these cells contain chlorophyll, allowing the moss to absorb energy from sunlight. Others hold water – lots of water. Sphagnum moss can hold up to 20 times its dry weight in water. The swollen water-holding cells give the moss some support: there is no structure of tubes and fibres to hold it up, as there is in flowering plants. Spaghnum mosses are the primary source of peat formation in the Flow Country.
The blanket bogs of the Flow Country began to form at the end of the last ice age, following the retreat of the glaciers. The climate following the last ice age fluctuated from being initially warm and relatively dry to a climate which became much wetter and colder. During the initial warm period the sediment left behind by the glaciers was colonised by pioneering plant species like grasses, sedges and shrubs like birch, willow and juniper. These plants spread via seeds transported from the continent to mainland Britain. Eventually forests composed of trees like alder, ash, elm, oak and pine became established in the landscape. However these forests were short lived.
This was because the climate became wetter and colder around 8,000 years ago. High rainfall leached the soil of nutrients and lead to the development of an iron pan which slowed the movement of water away from the soil. Coupled with low evaporation, due to cool temperatures, the soil became waterlogged and infertile.
The trees began to die away and were replaced by bog plants which were better adapted to the wet and nutrient poor environment. These included Sphagnum moss, cotton grasses, crossed leaved heath, deer grass, and the insectivorous sundews. Expansion of Sphagnum moss led to very wet conditions and acidified soil. As a result, bacterial breakdown of plant remains beneath the bog surface was greatly reduced leading to the formation of peat. Over thousands of years the bog expanded in both depth and area as peat accumulated and individual bogs joined up. High rainfall and low evaporation allowed peat deposits to build up on all but the steepest slopes, created the expansive blanket bog landscape that we know today.
A healthy, growing bog has an upper layer of living plants called the acrotelm, usually no more than 40cm thick, and a lower layer of waterlogged peat called the catotelm, which can be many metres deep. It's the catotelm that stores carbon, locked up in the dead plant material, as well as millions of litres of water that help to regulate river flows around the bog.
The carbon stored in the layers of peat is a vital defence against climate change. But peat bogs are also a fascinating record of past environments. They hold pollen grains like fossils: samples taken from different depths in the bog can give a detailed picture of what the environment was like 2,000 , 5,000 or even 10,000 years ago.
Sphagnum mosses grow in tough conditions, but they're easily damaged. Grazing, burning or any lowering of the water table can all kill the living moss. It's also sensitive to pollution from sulphur dioxide, from burning fossil fuels, and nitrogen, from excess fertiliser on neighbouring farmland. If the upper layer of living moss dies off, the lower layer of peat can be exposed to erosion, releasing its stored carbon into the atmosphere as the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.

The Cyclotron "Proton Pete" being lowered into the vault.
On Tuesday, June 14, 2016 "Proton Pete," is carried into Baptist Health by a crane.
A machine that blasts beams to fight evil cancer cells may sound more like a comic book and less of a reality.
But last week, Baptist Hospital in Kendall began installing this new medical equipment to provide an alternative to X-ray radiation for cancer patients.
Proton Pete traveled long and far before arriving to the hospital -- 4,700 miles from Belgium, to be exact. And what Proton Pete does is shoot proton beams into patients who have cancer.
"The purpose of Pete is to provide energy to the proton beam and accelerate it to an energy range of up to 250 million electron volts that can be used for targeting and treating cancer," said Doctor Minesh Mehta, deputy director and chief of radiation oncology at Miami Cancer Institute.
Dr. Mehta says studies suggest that children have a significant benefit from this type of therapy. Children exposed to these proton beams -instead of X-ray radiation- are significantly less likely to have the cancer recur because the beams target the tumor, and not the healthy tissue around it.
Proton Pete is part of Baptist's new Miami Cancer Institute, scheduled to open in January. The proton therapy is slated to begin later next year for both adults and children.
A hardy market for imported low-cost prescription drugs has taken root in Florida, nourished by older Americans and tolerant regulators.


Recruitment firm Robert Walters recently reported that blockchain-related jobs have gone up to as much as 50% in Asia since 2017, despite struggling cryptocurrency prices in the past few months.
The report says that Python developers are the most sought after, even by companies such as IBM and Binance. However, it was noted that many of those entering the space come from other industries. TenX co-founder Julian Hosp says that his organization rarely hires from within the industry as most are still inexperienced.
John Mullally of Robert Walters also says that while there are a lot of blockchain enthusiasts eager to join the industry, not a lot have the necessary skill sets.

Published August 7, 2014 by Routledge
As business becomes increasingly globalized and China establishes its growing role in the international business environment, developing an understanding of the complex culture is important to anyone acting in the global arena. This book offers readers a thorough and nuanced resource to that end, describing the ever-evolving Chinese way of life circa 2014, based on extensive primary and secondary data.
Taking an anthropological approach to achieve a well-rounded representation, the book covers 51 topics that would have been studied if China were a newly discovered civilization. It explores the culture through its examination of the nine core concepts that best represent the Chinese way of life. While the book is a rigorous treatment of the Chinese way of life, it is also filled with personal stories and perspectives from close to 1000 successful Chinese from academia, business, and government.
The Chinese Way equips international business students, scholars, and practitioners with a deep understanding of a society that is a major player in global business today and offers a foundation for successful business interactions with Chinese companies, organizations, and people.

When you book a course, our instructors are here to teach you ride a motorcycle or moped safely. There will be many topics that will need to be covered to achieve this. The purpose of this section of the web site is to help you learn those topics and maybe take a more in depth look at them. Reading these at any time during the journey you take to becoming a safe rider will be helpful, but to get the most out of your training having read some or all these topics beforehand could make all the difference.
Some of our courses have information and material that you need to learn before you attend. This is to help give you a head start and allow us to concentrate as much as possible on the actual riding skills that we need and want to teach you. The information is short and succinct, and should not take long to learn.
If you don't learn this information before attending a course time will have to be spent by your instructor going over the information which will take time away from riding. In the case of the CBT it may mean you don't complete the course in one day and will need to come back to complete what you haven't finished.

Le Championnat de France de water-polo de National 1 masculin est le  du championnat de France de water-polo masculin français, derrière le championnat de France élite.

Historique

Dans les années 2000 et 2010, le championnat national 1 se joue en rencontres aller-retour entre douze clubs. Le premier du classement est promu en championnat élite, la première division française, en remplacement du dixième de la phase régulière de l'élite qui est directement relégué en N1. Le deuxième joue un barrage contre le neuvième de la phase régulière de l'élite.

En 2011-2012, le championnat comprend treize clubs en raison d'un problème réglementaire survenu pendant le tournoi final à quatre équipes du championnat national 2 en . Le Sporting club libellule de Denain, cinquième de la phase régulière, participe en remplacement de l'équipe seconde du FNC Douai en contradiction avec l'article 3.3.8 du règlement fédéral. Le SCL Denain est proclamé champion de N2, mais ce titre et sa montée en N1 sont contestés par une partie des clubs finalistes. Finalement, la N1 de 2011-2012 comprend treize clubs pour ne leser ni la montée du club de Denain, ni celle des deux meilleurs finalistes qualifiés par la phase régulière.

World Access to Higher Education Day
NCSEHE & EPHEA event: World Access to Higher Education Day
The NCSEHE and Equity Practitioners in Higher Education Australasia (EPHEA) are delighted to invite you to attend World Access to Higher Education Day (WAHED) on Wednesday 17 November 2021.
Register here for WAHED Australasia 2021
As part of WAHED 2021, we are excited to announce two new initiatives:
Australasian Spotlight on Equity: Grants for recognition of impact
The NCSEHE and EPHEA value the efforts of equity-focused researchers and practitioners across the sector and wish to support our colleagues to raise the profile of their work, as well as supporting their continued professional development.
In 2021, we are launching the Grants for recognition of impact to reward the outstanding contributions of practitioners and researchers in delivering social justice, fairness, and inclusion initiatives for both staff and students.
The total grant pool is A$10,000 and grant recipients will be announced at the WAHED event.
If you are undertaking research and/or practice that is having a significant impact on staff or student outcomes, we encourage you to apply before 5 pm AEDT on Monday 1 November 2021.
Find out more about the grants and how to apply
Champions for Change is back in 2021!
Do you know someone who has been a Champion for Change in 2021? Last year, over 50 equity practitioners were recognised for their extraordinary efforts in supporting students to succeed in higher education.
We know that it is often small gestures that make a difference to how students experience university — each of us has probably witnessed how a well-timed intervention had a positive impact on an individual learner.
All the Champions will be recognised at our WAHED event and across NCSEHE and EPHEA media channels.
Nominate a 2021 Champion for Change
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at WAHED 2021!

Geochemical and Isotopic Evidence of a Groundwater Source in the Corral Canyon Meadow Complex, Central Nevada, USA
Eliot A. Atekwana, Missouri University of Science and TechnologyFollow
Dorothea S. Richardson
Major inorganic ions and stable carbon and oxygen isotopes in stream water, groundwater, groundwater seeps and springs were measured in the Corral Canyon meadow complex and watershed in the Toquima Mountains of central Nevada, USA. The purpose of the study was to determine whether stream water or groundwater was the source of water that supports vegetation in the meadow complex. Water samples from the watershed and meadow complex were mixed cation-HCO3 type. Stream water sampled at different locations in the meadow complex showed variations in temperature, pH and specific conductance. The cation-anion proportions for stream water were similar to groundwater, groundwater seeps and runoff from the meadow complex. Stable oxygen isotope ratios for stream water (-17·1% to -17·6% versus VSMOW) and groundwater and groundwater seeps in the meadow site (-17·0% to -17·7% versus VSMOW) were similar, and consistent with a local meteoric origin. Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and the 13CDIC for stream water (-12·1% to -15·0% versus VPDB) were different from that of groundwater from the meadow complex (-15·3% to -19·9% versus VPDB), suggesting different carbon evolution pathways. However, a simple model based on cation- 13CDIC suggests that stream water was being recharged by shallow groundwater, groundwater seeps and runoff from the meadow complex. This leads to the conclusion that the source of water that supports vegetation in the meadow complex was primarily groundwater. The results of this study suggest that multiple chemical and stable carbon isotope tracers are useful in determining the source of water that supports vegetation in meadow complexes in small alpine watersheds.

In the first season of the critically acclaimed The Sarah Silverman Program, Sarah gets hepped upon cough syrup, takes in a homeless man and poops her pants. With her unique perspective on life and her ability to turn just about everything into a song, find out why Sarah Silverman is an American treasure. An offensive, filthy-mouthed treasure.


As with all treatments there are contraindications however these can be worked around depending on the oils used - please ensure that during consultation you give full and accurate medical information to ensure you get the most from this treatment.
Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that focusses on the sense of smell by utilising essential oils to bring about different effects. The first mention of aromatherapy in history was in 1910, when a French chemist named René-Maurice Gattefossé who used Lavender oil to heal a burnt hand.
After your consultation I will gather the oils required for your treatment and blend them - we will begin with inhalation of the blend, followed by gentle massage, using the chosen oils to create different effects. Pressure point massage will help to release tension, your choice of essential oils will awaken your senses and the whole treatment will leave you feeling revitalised.
Aromatherapy sessions may only be booked at least 24 hours in advance, and require a consultation prior to treatment to allow for selection and blending of required oils (this can be a telephone consultation and is to ascertain the reasons for treatment).
Please note that we do not stock a full range of oils at all times, so feel free to bring your own, or mention in advance if there is a particular scent you would like for your treatment.


The contract will fund numerous product developments for the Navy, including improved GPS technology, high-resolution and hand-held sonar devices, sonar devices for submarines and other ship vessels, and seafloor and environment detection instruments. These projects will build upon current technology to help the navy navigate the sea intelligently and with awareness of potential threats.
The Naval Sea Systems Command awarded the Applied Research Laboratories about $450 million to complete navy and national security research by September 2022, according to a Department of Defense press release Wednesday. The contract for underwater acoustics, navigation, command and control and warfare systems development also includes options for UT to expand the award to about $1 billion, according to the Department of Defense.
Other projects include using technology to recognize cybersecurity threats, studying advanced laser technology for airplanes and better securing sensitive documents. The research projects will take place at UT's secure J.J Pickle Campus in North Austin, according to the Department of Defense.
Clark Penrod, Applied Research Laboratories executive director for the past 18 years, said the new contract will support more Navy-related projects, but UT's Applied Research Laboratories has worked closely with the Department of Defense in the past.
The Applied Research Laboratories, established in 1945, helped develop some of the first sonar equipment and GPS technologies that aided the U.S. Navy and other divisions of the Department of Defense. Applied Research Laboratories' funding for the past 10 years consisted of about $887 million, primarily from federally funded research, according to the University press release.
Currently, Applied Research Laboratories employs about 400 scientists and engineers, nearly 750 staffers and 100 students year-round. More than 4,000 students have worked at Applied Research Laboratories.

Forgot to increase the version string in the last update... NOT THIS TIME.
This is now the 1.0.8 and also reports as 1.0.8... hopefully.
This update only fixes a wrong return value in one of the array functions. This means the client.isMemberOfAll() function should work correctly again. Thanks to @Relentless for reporting this bug.


The meaning of these words could not be more clear, or the intent of the founding fathers more succinctly stated.
As a Colorado citizen, I place this assault on the Constitutional foundation of this nation at the top of the list of any and all concerns in need of redress by our representative Congress. As a United States citizen, who has voted Democrat for thirty years, has worked on Democratic candidate electoral campaigns, and contributed financially when my employment made it possible for me to do so, I am informing you, that my confidence in Democratic Party leadership has been severely ruptured. In watching the unfolding of events since Snowden came forward with this revelation, in how the Obama Administration, and many members of the Senate and the House have responded, it has become clear that the Democratic Party has become a soulless shell that has merged into a bi-partisan surveillance-state government beholden to the campaign contributions of big banks, and the privatized DOD and intelligence industry.
The latest closing of embassies and consulates to demonstrate the dire 'need' for the trashing of our Constitution is accompanied with a fowl odor reminiscent of the red, orange, and yellow alerts of post 9/11. For eight straight years since 9/11, Democrats, every time there was a terrorist alert or a terrorist advisory issued by the United States government in the middle of a debate over one of the Bush-Cheney civil liberties abuses, would accuse the United States government and the national security state of exaggerating terrorism threats, of manipulating advisories, of hyping the dangers of al-Qaeda, in order to distract attention away from their abuses and to scare the population into submitting to whatever it is they wanted to do. And now, as we are in the midst of an actual debate over the dangers of excess surveillance, suddenly our Democratic Administration that has spent two years claiming that it has decimated al-Qaeda decides that there is this massive threat requiring the closing of embassies and consulates throughout the world. And within literally an amount of hours, the likes of Saxby Chambliss and Lindsey Graham join with the White House and Democrats in Congress to exploit and to insist that it shows that the NSA and these programs are necessary. As a postscript to the closing of embassies in countries such as Yemen: perhaps if President Obama stopped blowing up the people with drone missiles–people he arbitrarily places on his kill list (of a country with which we are not at war) it would not be necessary to close our embassy and evacuate Americans from that country (and others).
Of course, all thinking people are painfully aware of this secret government within our government's ability to conduct a false-flag attack on our country to prove their point. But many of us still stand with Benjamin Franklin: "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." We ask that our elected representatives stand with us.
As a Coloradoan, I thank all of the Colorado House Representatives—Republican and Democrat—who voted in favor of the Amash Amendment to defund this massive and egregious spy apparatus that is in violation of the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately our Democratic President, and others in top (Democratic) leadership positions teamed up with the neocon right wing of the GOP to defeat that amendment.
Senator Udall, as a member of the United States Select Committee on Intelligence, you are part of that secret government. While I acknowledge your and Senator Wyden's subtle efforts to suggest this assault on our Constitution is illegal, I remind that as U.S. Senators, you have full constitutional immunity against prosecution for anything you say of the floor of the Senate. When Daniel Ellsberg was trying to get people to read the Pentagon Papers and understand the content, he tried to get Mike Gravel and other senators to go to the floor of the Senate and read them, because they would have been immune from prosecution. It took Mr. Snowden to come forward, who doesn't have immunity, and tell the American people what is being done to them. And interestingly, when you were asked about Edward Snowden, you said, "I deplore his leaks." He had the courage to ruin his life to try to protect his country, while you, with your immunity have for all intents and purposes silently towed the bi-partisan DOD/NSA corporatized line.
I urge you to reflect on this issue, and to have the courage to stand against the forces of power in both parties who are intent on destroying the Constitution of the United States of America – who are intent on destroying a nation that once stood for freedom and liberty. I urge you to use your position and your platform to lead in defunding and dismantling this massive spy apparatus that can only be for the purpose of misuse, and is already being misused. I urge you to restore the full intent of the Constitution of the United States of America. I urge it for myself, for my fellow citizens, and for my children and grandchildren, and those of others, so that they may enjoy the country I once knew and loved.
For US and Our POSTERITY, InDeed!

After creating the jar i am creating hive table as
create table customserde (fname string,lname string) row format serde 'com.datametica.serde.CustomSerde';

And loading the data into table as
load data inpath '/user/dm3/tables_data/customserde' into table customserde;

Everything is fine till now but when i do select operation on the table as
select * from customserde;

getting exception
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.datametica.serde.CustomDataFormat cannot be cast to [Ljava.lang.Object;

Any help is appreciated I am totally stuck at this point
thanks in advance.

A: I have found my mistake deserialize() method does not return the object of the customdataformat.class but object of row means arrayList as follows
public Object deserialize(Writable record) throws SerDeException {
        Text text = (Text) record;
        String[] valArray = text.toString().split(",");
        CustomDataFormat dataObject = new CustomDataFormat();
        dataObject.setFname(valArray[0]);
        dataObject.setLname(valArray[1]);

        rows.set(0, dataObject.getFname());
        rows.set(1, dataObject.getLname());
        return rows;

Four lose vision after botched eye surgery in Maharashtra
Last updated on: November 05, 2015 13:51 IST
At least four persons lost their eyesight and the vision of 19 others was critically affected after alleged botched-up surgeries by the doctors at a cataract check-up camp in Maharashtra's Washim district, a senior health official said on Thursday.
Media reports, however, put the number of people losing their eyesight at 14, although the figure was not officially confirmed.
Washim's civil surgeon and the doctor who performed the surgeries have been suspended in view of the botch-up while suspension of a doctor at Akola Medical College has also been recommended, the state health department official said.
"On October 31, we got reports of surgery botch-up at the Washim cataract check-up camp and subsequent negligence at the Akola Medical College," he said. "The health department officials immediately swung into action and shifted 22 patients from Washim and Akola to Mumbai's J J Hospital, where all efforts are being made to restore their eyesight under the supervision of world-class ophthalmologists," he said.
"Following reports and finding serious negligence on the part of doctors at Washim Hospital and Akola Medical College, the state health minister has ordered the suspension of Washim civil surgeon Surekha Mende and Dr P P Chauhan, who performed surgeries on nearly 14 patients at the eye cataract check-up camp," the official said.
Noted eye surgeon at Mumbai's J J Hospital, Dr T P Lahane, said, "We are doing every bit to treat the patients in order to restore their eyesight."
"They have severe 'pseudomonas' infection in the eyes. We have operated 21 patients out of whom 14 were severely infected. The rest have minor to serious infection. We have managed to restore the eyesight of four patients, while another four lost their vision completely. As of now there are 19 patients admitted with their eyes in critical condition and we are trying our best to treat them," Dr Lahane said.
The victims had gone for cataract surgery in a Washim camp between October 6 and 29. However, from October 13, a few patients started coming back to the hospital with complaints of watery, itchy and red eyes and blurred vision. "When these patients started turning up at Washim hospital, the doctors, without analysing the cause, referred them to the medical college at Akola, where also they did not get proper attention for over 10 days, which shows serious and criminal negligence," the health official said.
"The health department has recommended the medical education department to initiate action against Akola Medical College's ophthalmologist Umesh Tiwari," he said.
Dr Lahane said the situation would not have been so grim had the patients been brought to J J Hospital in the earlier stages of complications.

Church Micro 50...North Holmwood
A cache by sadexploration Send Message to Owner Message this owner
North Holmwood
The architect responsible for the design of St John the Evangelist was Major Rohde Hawkins. At the time he lived at Redlands, South Holmwood, and between 1873 and 1877 was Parish Churchwarden at St Mary Magdalene. He died in 1884 and is buried in South Holmwood churchyard. Building went ahead during the latter half of 1874, consecration was performed by the Bishop of Winchester on Easter Day, March 30th 1875. The exterior may be briefly described. St. John's is built of flint on the Early English Style, with a tower topped by a spire, at its North-West corner. The spire is 75ft. high from the porch step to the top of the weather cock. According to N. G. J. Stiff in his "The Church in Dorking and district" which appeared in 1912, the tower contained "a clock and two bells". The clock, which came from St. Martin's Church remains, but there is now only one bell in the tower.
Below is a right load of old waffle, and you may assume nothing.,
This little idea I had about hiding a few micros near churches seems to have taken off so this cache at North Holmwood will be my final contribution although adding one would be useful.
It's been just over five months since I place the first one and I have very much enjoyed setting this series. Some have been extremely basic hides like Newdigate. Others such as Worth were found before it was even published! (That will be Cache u Nutter & Andy33) Leigh even beat the FTF Specialist of Tjapukai and GaryHoney although the cache was there all along. Tjapukais second attempt at FTF that night at Merstham was also scuppered by Cache U Nutter who gets another mention as the only person to have found 2 before publication.
You may have noticed a fair amount of magnets which is my preferred type of micro although I could have got away with it a Walton on the Hill as a suitable hide was ready made unlike Worth which required a minor modification to make the magnet stick. (These alloy bridges are not cache friendly)
I then put a few to the east of me near Oxted to spread the series in that direction and once again one was found before publication this time by whiskeywhiskeymac a full three months early. If anybody finds this one beforehand I will have to change the locks on my house as it's not going out early.
End of ridiculous waffle.
I hope you have all enjoyed the series and visiting many churches.
If any body would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let me know first so I can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication

Earth - the near future. Humanity has all but been destroyed by a race of super-powered beings who initially offered to help mankind, but really intended to rule them. Those who fight back against the tyranny of the 'Gods' are nicknamed the 'Ten-Seconders' – so called because that is the average life expectancy given to those brave enough to battle the overwhelmingly-powerful opposition. Written by Rob Williams (Low Life, Cla$$war), and featuring art by Mark Harrison (Durham Red), Dom Reardon (Ichabod Azrael), Shaun Thomas (Middenface McNulty) and Ben Oliver (Judge Dredd), The Ten-Seconders is an action-packed tale of super-powered mayhem!
This digital edition collects the completed story, including the epic series finale 'Godsend.'

HAWKS – A new Point Guard addition can change the entire approach, dimension, and or flow of your offense. Atlanta, having just gone through the growing pains of another young PG, decided to switch things up entirely. Instead of pairing a young player (that doesn't play PG) with Schroder, which would have perhaps put them in position for the #4 or #5 2019 Draft pick, they decided to start over completely.
Although second-year PF John Collins has displayed tons of potential, PG was certainly not the weakest link on the team. That belongs to either the Center position or SG. Mo Bamba would have fit in nicely with Schroder and Collins. Doncic has a lot of the same shooting and playmaking ability as Trae Young, but could have played both SG and SF alongside Schroder.
The Hawks' staff, though, saw PG as the most important position right now. So they decided to be opportunistic about a floor general they fell in love with, and pulled the trigger on Trae Young. A few weeks later, they traded Schroder for what could amount to be two 2nd round picks in 2022-23.
This puts them in an even better position to go through growing pains this year and come out as the winner of the #1 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. After all, they had the #3 pick this year after Schroder, in his 4th year, had his best season (19.4 PPG and 6.2 APG). They haven't made any significant changes to the roster, other than switching out veteran Schroder for rookie Trae Young. Point Guards generally have their worst seasons, as far as turnover to assist ratio, in their rookie season. That's where the growing pains come in, so expect them to take a short step back in order to take huge steps forward in the future. A future that is also highlighted by a future 1st round pick now owed to them by the Mavs (the pick is top-five protected for the next two years, top-three protected in 2021 and '22, and unprotected the following year).
Landing the top pick would be the ideal situation for the Hawks, and it's realistic. It would also speed up this rebuilding process. Trae Young's game is compatible with a player that many, myself included, consider a prize target of the 2019 draft lottery. Fans have a lot to be excited about because not only are there premier options at the top of the upcoming draft, but Trae Young also spaces the floor with his shooting range in a way that Schroder did not. Making more room for passing/driving lanes for teammates.
No offense to Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn, but the real future of Atlanta is Zion Williamson, who at 6'6 270 lbs, is a man amongst boys on the court. Zion would be the best Hawks' forward to lace it up since Dominique Wilkins. He is built like LeBron and is as explosive as Blake Griffin. He's going to draw many comparisons to a young Larry Johnson but will put up numbers like Charles Barkley when he reaches his peak.
Keep an eye on him at Duke this season; he's a freight train running the lane. Some recruiters consider his toughest competition for the #1 pick to be playing right beside him. That's right, the Duke Blue Devils have three potential #1 prospects playing on the same court, but that's another story.


That wee pearler of dialogue, as delivered by Rick Moranis's Lord Dark Helmet in Mel Brooks' 1987 comedy Spaceballs, must have been rattling around Tesla CEO Elon Musk's head when he named the newest upgrades for the company's Model S electric car. As reported by Fortune, owners can now enhance their vehicle with a longer battery range and faster acceleration speed, the latter of which is called, get this, 'Ludicrous Mode'.
The battery upgrade brings the 85 kilowatt hour battery pack up to 90 kilowatts, which equates to about 15 miles of range. It's set to cost US$3,000 and will be available on new cars or as an upgrade to current owners. Ludicrous Mode offers a 10pc improvement in acceleration, allowing the Model S to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds. That little boost in power will set you back US$10,000.
Tesla is known for its irreverent touches, such as setting the maximum volume on the Model S's radio as 11 in reference to This Is Spinal Tap. What little surprises the company has in store for its forthcoming Model X, we'll soon find out. The long-awaited vehicle is expected to go on sale in Q3 of this year.


Inspired by a recipe from food blogger Lia Griffith, www.liagriffith.com, our version features a mole sauce concocted with our own Molten Lava Spiced Chocolate Honey Cream. Yum!
To make mole sauce: Heat oil in large skillet or saucepan. Add onion, garlic, cumin and cinnamon. Cover and cook on medium heat until onions are tender, stirring frequently. Mix in chili powder and flour and stir for 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in broth, increase heat to medium-high. Boil to reduce to 3 cups, stirring occasionally for about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in Spiced Chocolate Honey Cream. Season with sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste and set aside to cool.
To sauté vegetables: Heat olive oil in large skillet. Sauté onions until they start to become transparent. Add carrots and cook for about one minute. Add your zucchini, yellow squash and red pepper then cook another minute until all vegetables are slightly soft but not over cooked. Mix in black beans, corn. Cool and mix in the fresh cilantro.
To assemble enchiladas: With just a bit of olive oil in skillet on medium heat, heat 10 tortillas on both sides so they are pliable and slightly toasted. Stack on plate as you toast each one. Spread 1/3 cup of the mole sauce onto the bottom of the 8×12 inch baking dish. Dip one tortilla into the cooled mole sauce to coat both sides. Place covered tortilla onto a plate, add a strip of vegetable mix in center and top with cheese. Roll the tortilla and place flap side down into the baking dish. Repeat this process until your dish is filled two rows of enchiladas. Spread 1/3 cup of mole sauce over the top of your enchiladas in the dish and sprinkle with additional cheese.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. After the enchiladas are topped with cheese, cover with foil and bake 20 minutes or 30 minutes if chilled. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes until sauce bubbles. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes to settle.

Below are the points he has stressed on to make consistent profits.
1: Do not stress about whipsaws – one good trend pays for them all.
A whipsaw is when you enter a stock, but get stopped out quickly. In a period of whipsaws, this may happen many times. This can be frustrating to a trader or investor, and it may cause them to change their system. But the fact is that one good trend will pay for all of these whipsaws, and if you change your system you lose the benefit of that!
2: When you Catch a Trend, ride it to the end.
Your system must be able to jump on a trending stock (for instance, up if you are going long), but then also be able to ride that trend to the end. Many novice traders will jump out of stocks before they are finished trending because they are scared the market has gone too far. Let your system tell you when the trend is ending, and only exit once it does.
3: When you show a loss, give the loss a toss.
Every single successful money manager ever interviewed has said something along the lines of: "Cut your losses short". Get rid of your losses. Keep your winners. And once you have your system don't second guess it! Being stopped out is part of the process.
4: We know if our risk is right when we make a lot of money, but can still sleep at night.
Risk is the amount of risk per trade (the price between your entry and your stop loss), and how much your total risk is (regarding how many positions you have open at one time).
Both of these should be in your trading plan (I use 1 – 2% per trade, and up to 15 open positions, but everyone will be different). Basically the idea is that it is not so little that you don't make any money, but not so large that you can't sleep at night.
5: When price breaks through, or there is a shock news announcement – DO NOTHING. Your stops are already set.
Stop losses: If you aren't setting them, get out of the game until you learn to set them with your buy order. They can be either metal stops (where you know you will get out) or stops set with your broker. They are the most important rule in trading bar none.
Once you are setting stop losses – stick to them! Don't let the news, your broker, a friend, an analyst, or a newsletter scare your out of a trade when your rules say otherwise.
6: When you get a drawdown (or series of losses), stick to your plan and pull the trigger on your entry signals.
A drawdown will happen to you at some point in your life if you trade for any decent length of time. This is where you might encounter a long string of losses or a losing period. If you are averaging 60% wins in your trading, you can still mathematically expect to have a series of 12 losses in one period of your career.
What Ed is saying here is: Don't change your plan just because you are having a drawdown. If you have tested your system and it works, stick to it and keep pulling the trigger according to your rules. Otherwise you will miss that one good trend that pays for all or most of the drawdown (There is one caveat here – sometimes your trading plan does need to be modified as market conditions have changed. Obviously it should be tested thoroughly if you do).
So there you have it – stick to these rules when devising your system for trading and you will be well on your way to success. It may seem simple, but all the best trading systems are. And remember – money is nothing if you aren't happy, so find or create a system that works for you!
Nice write up, But Mostly during the War of Trading Mental Balance,Fear and the Blood Pressure is the only worry, where most of us fail.

Japan gov't institutes GTA III ban
Under-18 ban on Capcom-distributed Grand Theft Auto III now in effect in Saitama Prefecture.
By John Andersen on September 20, 2005 at 1:16PM PDT
According to the Mainichi Daily News today, local officials of the Saitama Prefectural Government have officially labeled Grand Theft Auto III a "harmful publication" and have implemented a ban on all sales of the game to consumers under the age of 18.
Earlier, the Saitama Prefectural Government had called for an investigation into the game. Prefecture officials made the "harmful publication" ruling on September 9, declaring the game contained scenes of "graphic violence" and "brutality," and stated they felt the game "promoted youth violence." Today marked the beginning of restrictions on sales of the game--an age-restriction that makes it a crime to sell the game to anyone under the age of 18.
"I've seen the game myself and it's far too violent and obviously harmful," the governor of Saitama, Kiyoshi Ueda, told the paper. "Freedom of expression is one thing, but the wholesome upbringing of youths is also important and this was the only option."
Reaction in Japan to prefecture governments instituting restrictions on the sale of the GTA game have sparked protests from gamers: The blog of Kanagawa prefecture Governor Shigefumi Matsuzawa was inundated with protests after that prefecture imposed a ban on the sale of GTA III to minors.
Saitama retailers face a 300,000 yen ($2,700) fine if they violate the ban.
