Using the Hamburg Wheel Track Test for Balanced Mix Design
Category: Equipment Guides, Guest Posts
This guest post is written by Fan Yin, PhD. He is an Assistant Research Professor at the National Center for Asphalt Technology at Auburn University. We are sharing it here, with his permission, but the original article may be found here.
The Hamburg Wheel Tracking Test (HWTT) per AASHTO T 324 is widely used by asphalt researchers and pavement engineers to evaluate the rutting resistance and moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixtures. According to a recent NCAT survey of state highway agencies and the asphalt pavement industry, 14 states currently require the HWTT in their provisional or standard specifications for asphalt mix design. Among these states, six use the HWTT as a pure rutting test while the rest use it as a combined rutting and moisture damage test. Additionally, there are seven states that have selected the HWTT as a performance test for balanced mix design (BMD) and are currently conducting research to benchmark existing mix designs or develop preliminary performance criteria for BMD pilot or shadow projects.
A typical HWTT rut depth curve consists of a post-compaction phase, a creep phase, and sometimes a stripping phase. Traditional HWTT parameters include total rut depth (TRD) at a certain number of wheel passes, creep slope (CS), stripping slope (SS), and stripping inflection point (SIP). There is a consensus among the existing literature that TRD and CS are often used to evaluate the rutting resistance of asphalt mixtures, while SS and SIP are mainly used for the assessment of moisture susceptibility.
Over the years, asphalt researchers have proposed alternative HWTT parameters to improve characterization of the rutting and moisture resistance of asphalt mixtures. These alternative parameters include the corrected rut depth (CRD), rutting resistance index (RRI), and stripping number (SN). CRD represents the projected HWTT rut depth caused only by permanent deformation of the mixture, which is isolated from the rut depth due to the stripping of asphalt binder from the aggregates. RRI is calculated based on the rut depth and number of wheel passes at completion of the test, which allows the direct comparison of HWTT results with different test termination points. A normalized RRI (NRRI) can also be used to account for different criteria dependent on binder grade. SN, developed as an alternative moisture susceptibility parameter to SIP , is defined as the inflection point of the HWTT curve fitted with a three-parameter deformation model. It represents the maximum number of wheel passes that the mixture can resist in the HWTT before stripping occurs.
Although most of the traditional and alternative parameters can identify asphalt mixtures that are extremely susceptible to rutting and/or moisture-related distresses, little information is available as to how they correlate to actual pavement field performance. In recognition of this limitation, researchers at NCAT and the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) collaborated on a study where they compiled a HWTT database with test results of over 70 plant-produced mixtures. These mixtures were collected from 17 field projects evaluated in several NCHRP projects, an LTPP test section, and test sections on the NCAT Test Track. HWTT testing was conducted at NCAT and TTI laboratories over the last 10 years. The database was then analyzed to determine the correlation of various HWTT parameters to field performance data and estimate the within-laboratory repeatability of HWTT rut depth measurements.
The correlation evaluation of HWTT rutting parameters was conducted using 17 mixtures from the NCAT Test Track. The analysis results indicated that the RRI and CS parameters showed the best correlation to pavement rut depth measured after 10 million ESALs of heavy truck traffic (R 2 = 0.924 and 0.881, respectively), followed by CRD (R 2 = 0.586) and then TRD at 20,000 passes (R 2 = 0.283). The field correlation of HWTT moisture susceptibility parameters was evaluated based on a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, using all mixtures in the database. The ROC analysis, simply described, assesses the degree of correspondence between the HWTT results and field performance that is qualitatively categorized as either 'with moisture distress' or 'without moisture distress'. The ROC analysis identified 9,000 and 2,000 passes as the best criterion for SIP and SN, respectively. However, these criteria should be used with caution because they were developed with a limited number of mixtures with signs of moisture damage in the field and thus, warrant further verification with additional laboratory and field data. Finally, the within-laboratory repeatability of HWTT rut depth measurements was determined largely in accordance with ASTM C670. The maximum allowable differences in rut depth measurements between two HWTT replicates (e.g., results of the left wheel versus right wheel from the same run, or results of the same wheel from two separate runs) were calculated to be 2.3, 3.9, 4.6, and 4.7 mm for TRD at 5,000, 10,000, 15,000, and 20,000 wheel passes, respectively. Therefore, it is recommended that the two sets of HWTT replicate results with a difference greater than these allowable differences should not be accepted.
In addition to these research findings of the NCAT/TTI study, another recommendation for consideration by states interested in adopting HWTT for BMD is to use a standardized data analysis program (or software) for mix design approval and/or production acceptance. To ensure consistency between the contractor and agency results, specific instructions should be provided regarding the number and locations of deformation readings (along the track length) used for data analysis and the calculation of selected test parameters, among others.
A good example for reference is provided by the Iowa Department of Transportation in Matls IM 319 at iowadot.gov/erl/current/IM/content/319.htm.

More and more elderly people choose to live at home and on their own instead of going to a nursing home or retirement community each year. Not only do they will confident that they can take care of themselves, but they don't want to spend the money that those facilities cost and they do not want to leave their own homes.
As the child or loved one of one of those people, you may feel a little less confident about his or her abilities, but investing in a medical alert system can make you feel better about that living situation.
When an emergency occurs, you can simply press the emergency button on the pendant so that a signal is sent to the base station and a call is made to a trained operator.
As soon as you inform the operator about your concern, he/she will immediately contact your family members, emergency medical technician (EMT) or other relatives who can reach you and assist you in time.
Let us take a look at the two top brands based on their offered plans and services.

What it's all about?
Geoff Gross started Medical Guardian after his own grandmother suffered a few accidents at home and had a hard time getting help when she needed it.
Gross came up with a business plan and started his company out of his own apartment. He worked directly with both elderly people who needed help and their loved ones to help them find the perfect products for their own needs, but his company now offers five different alert systems that will work in most homes.
Protection Plan and Services
1. Classic Plan
The first product from Medical Guardian that you should look at is its Classic Guardian, which was the first plan it offered and is still one of its most popular products. This system allows anyone in the home to reach a trained operator at the first sign of an emergency.
Trained Operator
EMERGENCY OPTIONS
Medical Guardian requires that all the operators working in its office, which is in the United States, go through the same training that 911 operators do to ensure that they can handle any type of emergency.
This package actually consists of two separate piece: a base unit and an emergency help button. The base unit has a two-way speaker on the front that the person using it can use when communicating with an operator. That operator can then speak back to the person and ensure that the user can hear him or her.
As an elderly person moves around the home, he or she can call for help via the emergency help button. Medical Guardian offers two different ways for users to wear this button: on a pendant necklace around the neck or on a strap that wraps around the wrist.
RANGE & BATTERY
When you set up the base unit, you must put it in a central area of the home. Though it has a range of 1,300 feet, the person wearing the emergency help button must be within that range to communicate with an operator via the base unit.
It also has a 32 hour battery backup that can power the base unit during a power outage, but this system will only work with an existing land line.
2. Home Plan
Though some people still think of elderly people as technology illiterate, many of those over the age of 70 now use smartphones, and some smartphone users love their phones so much that they get rid of their old land lines.
While Classic Guardian requires a land line to run, Home Guardian call work with a cellular network. As it uses a national carrier for this service, you don't need to worry that your loved one can't reach help when needed.
EMERGENCY BUTTONS
This system is very easy to use because the included base unit features just three buttons. When you first set it up, press the test button to send out a test alert to ensure it's working properly. Once your loved one uses the system, or you want to ensure it works after a power outage, you can use the reset button to completely reset the system.
Another helpful button on the base unit is the emergency button. The bright red color of this button ensures that anyone in the house can find it. The base unit also has a 30 hour backup battery that will work during power outages.
As with other systems, your loved one gets an emergency help button for wearing on the wrist or neck. This button will work at a distance of 600 feet away from the base unit. You can add the optional automatic fall detection to this button to have it automatically send out an alert when your loved one suffers a fall and cannot speak.
Medical Guardian lets you add on products to this system like a lock box, a wall help button or extra emergency buttons for other people living in the home.
3. Mobile Plan
Whether you live with an elderly person, or that person lives in his or her own home, you probably worry when you hear about your loved one running errands, visiting the doctor or doing other things outside of the home.
GPS TECHNOLOGY
Mobile Guardian is one of the best choices for those who are more active. This system allows a user to contact operators both in and out of the home. This is great for those who like taking short walks around the neighborhood, those who do volunteer work, elderly people who work part-time jobs and those who like spending time with friends and family.
It uses built-in GPS technology that helps operators identity the location of a user. That technology is also helpful when those with Alzheimer's wear it. The base station that comes with the Mobile Guardian package also works as a charging cradle. It charges the mobile device that users carry in only two hours, and that battery can then last for up to 24 hours. Medical Guardian includes a leather case that protects the mobile device from damage.
Mobile Guardian has an unlimited range and allows users to communicate with operators via a two-way speaker.
It comes with emergency help buttons for wearing on the wrist or neck that can send a signal to the mobile device from a distance of up to 350 feet. That offers protection at home when users leave the mobile device plugged in at night to charge it.
With Mobile Guardian, you can feel better about a parent, family member or friend when you can't be there. It lets you know that there is always someone nearby to help.
4. Premium Plan
The ultimate system for those who split their time between home and activities outside the home is the Premium Guardian package, which works in the home and when the user is on the go.
FALL DETECTION TECHNOLOGY
This comes with built-in fall detection technology that can monitor how the device sits to determine when a user suffered a fall. An operator will then attempt to communicate with the user, and if the user does not respond, the operator can send out paramedics.
BUILT-IN GPS
It also comes with built-in GPS for finding those who suffered an emergency away from a registered address. A user may fall when getting out of a car or lose consciousness after a car accident. Operators can use the built-in two-way speaker to talk to the user and then use the GPS coordinates reported to determine where to send rescue workers.
This system comes with a small mobile device that is almost as small as the emergency buttons found with other systems.
It's small enough for users to carry with them everywhere they go. This device is available with or without the fall detection feature, though most elderly users will prefer having that built-in protection.
CHARGING FEATURES
Medical Guardian includes a charging cradle that will automatically download and upload any new software updates to the device to ensure that it offers all the protection needed.
This cradle lets users keep the device anywhere they want, including on a nightstand next to the bed or on a table in the living room, and it fulls charge the battery in the mobile device in four hours. That battery will then run for 36 hours.
5. Family Plan
The newest system available from Medical Guardian is one that offers protection for the entire family and one that lets all family members keep an eye on loved ones.
Called Family Guardian, this is a system that consists of sensors and an app that you can download and use on your phone or tablet. Other family members can access that app to view the information it records too.
The three included sensors that you can put around the house monitor and keep track of users' daily activities in a day story.
Family Guardian comes with a base station that features an emergency help button as well as a reset button and a test button.
It has a backup battery that powers the device when the electricity goes out, and this base station works with the emergency help buttons that multiple people in the family can wear and use. When they press their buttons, they can communicate directly with a Medical Guardian operator.
You can then view the day story to see when someone walked by a sensor and which time they passed it. The app will also show you a weekly activity log of all the activities recorded over the last week.
With Family Guardian, all registered users will receive notifications when the sensor detects the person woke up in the morning, if that person left the home and if the individual missed a meal. It also updates you of extreme hot or cold temperatures in the home.

Life Alert Systems
Life Alert is the company that many people think of when they think of home medical alert systems because the company first achieved fame in the late 1990s after its infomercials that starred a woman falling and having troubles getting up. "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up," the line from that commercial is now a part of everyday language.
Life Alert offers one basic home medical alert system and other products you can add to that system as well as some standalone products.
Life Alert Mobile is a newer system that Life Alert introduced after learning that its customers wanted on the go protection that they could also use at home.
This small mobile device measures just 1.75-inches by 2.75-inches. While it comes with a cord that lets a user wear it around the neck, it's also small enough for convenient storage in a car's glove box, a pocket or a purse.
To make things easier for users, Life Alert designed the mobile device with just one button. That button is easy to reach and works with the two-way speaker to let a user talk with an operator.
Operators can then call 911 to send paramedics or other rescue workers to any location, even if a user contacts the office while away from home.
This system relies on the GSM cellular network used by a major cell phone service provider, and it works in locations all across the country.
When a user presses the large emergency button, it sends a signal to the office via the network to ensure that each person can communicate clearly with the other. This also makes it the type of medical alert device that your loved one can use while on vacation alone or with others.
Unlike other products that require users charge their devices at least once a day, this mobile device never needs charging. It comes with a powerful battery that will last for up to 10 solid years. As long as the user keeps paying for the service, this mobile device will keep working.
2. Protection on the Go Via a Mobile App
One of the hardest parts of growing old is learning that your brain no longer functions the way it once did. As your parents get older, they'll likely find that they have a hard time remembering the numbers of their loves ones.
They may even have troubles finding their phones or knowing when to call for help, which is why this service is so handy.
Life Alert Protection on the Go is essentially a mobile app that users can can use via a smartphone like an iPhone or a new Samsung phone. Those who have a smartphone will need to download the right version of the app that will work on their smartphones based on the operating system they have. This app will then connect them to the Life Alert Center when they need help.
MORE OPERATORS
The Life Alert Center is the dispatch center that the company stocks with trained operators. It ensures that there are always operators on staff and actually employs more operators than any other company does. Those operators will stay in touch with users from the moment they call to the moment help gets there.
SPEED DIAL
This app makes it easier for those with memory problems to call for help because they can just open that app and immediately connect with the center. Those who have older or more traditional cell phones can work with Life Alert to set up a special speed dial. This lets them press one button on the phone to reach the dispatch center almost instantly.
3. HELP Button
Do you find yourself worrying about your loved one falling in the tub and laying in the bathroom for hours before getting help? This is a common problem that plagues many seniors today. Even those who have walk-in tubs and non-slip shower mats can still fall and have a hard time getting back up again.
The Life Alert HELP button is just one way you can assist your loved ones and ensure that they can call from help from the bathroom or any other area of the home. This is a more basic medical alert system that consists of just one single button.
The button has a simple design and is easy to install on any wall, but you can also put it on a bathroom or kitchen counter as well as a table or nightstand next to the bed. This button has a white background that helps it blend with the decor of the room, but it also has a bright red circle on the top that highlights the word HELP in the center.
A user can hit this button to contact an operator, and the operator will decide what type of help to send after talking with the user and will stay on the line until those people get there. The operator can even arrange for loved ones of the user to come out instead of paramedics.
One of the best benefits of installing a HELP button is that you never need to worry about putting it next to an outlet. It comes with internal batteries that last for up to a decade.
4. Home Intrusion Protection
This is a type of audio monitoring that functions like an emergency help button. It comes with a two-way speaker that has a built-in microphone capable of picking up even the tiniest of signals.
That microphone helps operators listen and hear everything that your loved one hears to identity the exact root of the problem and why the user called without requiring that the user talk.
The operator will also talk through the microphone and let those criminals know that the device records everything they do and that police are on the way.
This will usually make the criminals move on, especially as they can hear the operator calling the police through the speaker. Life Alert can add this feature to most of its packages.
When someone attempts to break into your parent's house, your mother or father might become an assault victim. This system allows your parent to hit the emergency button and let the super sensitive microphone alert the operator of a possible break in or another type of crime. The operator will then call 911 or the local police department and get one or more officers to the home as fast as possible.
OPERATORS AVAILABILITY
Do you want to know more about Life Alert?
Though some people assume these systems are only for those who are significantly older or those who suffer from a host of medical conditions, these alert systems are suitable for anyone over the age of 70 who lives alone or with one or more other people. Medical Guardian and Life Alert offer systems that can offer help during a home invasion or a medical emergency.
The choice really depends upon your preferred service brand. Both performed best in the determined categories. But if we had to choose, we will pick Medical Guardian. This Medical Alert System will prove to be useful for your purpose.

as am new to this please help.

A: It appears you've created dedid as a field or a property in the class. Your problem is likely occurring because values for those don't persist between page loads.
Try storing it in a Session variable as you are with CompID.

A: If you switch to Entity Framework, your code will look something like this:
Using oDb As New MyDbContext(ConnectionString)
  Dim oDeduction as Deduction

  oDeduction = oDb.Deductions.Where(Function(D) D.DedID = dedid).Single
  oDeduction.IncomeTax = Income_Tax.Text
  oDeduction.SalesTax = Sales.Text
  oDeduction.ServiceTax = Service.Text
  oDeduction.LabourCess = Labour_Cess.Text
  oDeduction.SocityTax = Society.Text
  oDeduction.ESIC = ESIC.Text
  oDeduction.EPF = EPF.Text
  oDeduction.Security = Security.Text
  oDeduction.FinYear = Fin_Year.SelectedValue
  oDeduction.Condition1 = Cond1.Text
  oDeduction.Condition2 = Cond2.Text
  oDeduction.Condition3 = Cond3.Text

  oDb.SaveChanges()
End Using

Note that I just hammered this together by memory in TextPad — it's untested and syntax may not be exactly correct. It's just a sample of the concept.

The Holocaust: Facts & Remembrance
By Heather Whipps published 25 April 14
Hungarian Jews arrive at the German Nazi death camp Auschwitz in Poland in Summer 1944. (Image credit: Public domain.)
While the term "Holocaust" — a word with Greek roots meaning "sacrifice by fire" — has historically been used to describe large-scale massacres of people, it now almost exclusively refers to the state-sponsored murder of the Jewish population of Europe during World War II at the hand of the German Nazi government, led by Adolf Hitler. Approximately 6 million Jews were murdered by the Nazis between 1939 and 1945, historians estimate, alongside a myriad of other groups they considered undesirable or dangerous, including the mentally and physically handicapped, the deaf, homosexuals, Communists, Poles and other Slavs, Roma or Gypsies, political dissidents or intellectuals, and many more. Researchers estimate that no fewer than 10 million non-combat, non-civilian casualties of World War II were a result of the brutal and targeted Nazi killing machine.
The Nazis believed that Germans were a superior race of people destined to rule Europe and all its inferior classes, with Jews occupying the very bottom rung of the ethnic ladder. Though organized and widespread killing programs occurred during the war years, the persecution of the Jews actually began in the early 1930s, when Hitlerfirst came to power. Leading up to the war, Jews in Germany were forced to carry papers marking their religion and were subject to increasingly discriminatory laws. As the war began, Jewish populations throughout occupied territories in Central and Eastern Europe were pushed into designated neighborhoods called ghettos. The ghettos made it easier for the Nazis to round Jews up and send them to camps as political prisoners, a practice that began slowly in the first years of the war but then picked up pace rapidly in 1941. By 1942-43, Hitler was using the chaos and cover of the Second World War to execute his "Final Solution," or the systematic murder of the Jews of Europe.
The ultimate tally was grim: Poland alone lost over 3 million Jews, or 90 percent of its pre-war Jewish population to the Holocaust; Ukraine lost almost 1 million. By war's end, nearly 70 percent of the continent's Jewish population was gone.
Jews were captured and forcibly pulled out from dugouts by the Germans during the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. (Image credit: Public domain.)
The Nazis were able to accomplish their goals so quickly by creating concentration camps — prisons, effectively, where Jews and other persecuted peoples could be held, sorted and murdered in large numbers. Many of these camps began as forced labor camps early in the war and were converted for killing, while some were built exclusively for that purpose as the Nazis ramped up their Final Solution. Nearly 20,000 camps of various sizes and purposes would dot the European countryside by the end of the war. The most lethal among them were found in Poland and Germany, where the Nazis long had a stranglehold. Auschwitz-Birkenau alone, a sprawling complex in Poland, is estimated to have seen the deaths of 1 million Jews. Other notorious death camps included Chelmno, Sobibor and Treblinka.
Gas chambers and medical experiments add to toll
Once captured and shipped to the camps, Jewish prisoners could be selected for work, if healthy, but many were sent straight to gas chambers. These custom-built rooms, usually disguised as showers to avoid prisoner revolt, were pumped full of poisonous gases that caused death when inhaled. Victims were then burned in purpose-built ovens, in part to preserve the secret of the camps as killing machines and also to deal with the masses of bodies needing disposing of. Those who survived the original selection process at the camps were forced to live in horrible, cramped conditions, and many simply succumbed to malnutrition or disease. Medical clinics onsite also employed Nazi doctors to conduct painful scientific experiments on the handicapped and, occasionally, twins. These experiments usually ended in death for the patient.
Holocaust survivors remember
Most of the Nazi concentration camps were liberated by Allied soldiers in the spring of 1945; some, like Dachau and Auschwitz, remain open still today for visitors as a memorial to what happened there. There are also countless museums around the world dedicated to keeping the memory of victims alive, including the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., America's national place of remembrance and commemoration of the Holocaust. Over the decades, Holocaust survivors and their families have been diligent in gathering and sorting once scattered records belonging to the victims lost during those years, aided by groups dedicated to the cause.
The number of people with first-hand memory of the Holocaust is dwindling, but the importance of commemorating the event and paying tribute to both victims and survivors remains as significant as ever for communities around the world, some 70 years later. Holocaust Remembrance Day, or Yom HaShoah in Hebrew, is set aside annually to observe this, one of history's worst genocides. The internationally recognized date corresponds to the 27th day of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar. It marks the anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto uprising. In 2014, the day falls on April 28.

Learn from experienced faculty who will challenge your understanding of Scripture and theology while empowering you to lead others through similar experiences in your own future ministry. This self-directed concentration will develop student's personal and spiritual well-being for ministry effectiveness and satisfaction, increase their understanding of biblical, theological, and historical resources, and investigate the biblical and theological emphases that undergird relationships in Christian organizations.
In addition to helping you gain insight into family and congregational systems, this self-directed concentration will emphasize crucial aspects of pastoral care through transformational leadership, and addresses deeper issues surrounding pain and suffering. Students will explore the most common spiritual, mental health, and relational issues encountered in ministry, plan appropriate strategies for care and guidance, examine how their own spiritual, mental, emotional, theological, and cultural formation affects their ministries, and practice contextualization and theological reflection with issues of human need and pastoral care.


Trenton Jamond Richardson (born July 10, 1990) is an American professional American football running back for the Birmingham Iron of the Alliance of American Football (AAF). He played college football for the University of Alabama, was recognized as an All-American, and was a member of two BCS National Championship teams. Considered the top running back prospect for the 2012 NFL Draft, Richardson was considered by some as the best running back prospect since Adrian Peterson, and was selected third overall by the Cleveland Browns. After being traded away from the Browns during his second season with the team, and out of the NFL after five seasons, he is sometimes considered one of the biggest draft busts in league history.
Richardson was born in Pensacola, Florida. He played football at Escambia High School Richardson finished his senior season with 2,100 yards on 228 carries scoring 25 touchdowns. In a game against Milton High School in September 2008, Richardson rushed for 419 yards on 29 carries and scored six touchdowns, a performance that earned him a selection as the first ESPN RISE National Football Player of the Week. As a junior, Richardson also reached the 400-yard plateau, as he ran for 407 yards in his opening game against Tate High School. He finished his junior season (8 games) with 1,390 yards and 13 touchdowns, and received FSWA All-State 5A second team honors. He sat out his second year due to an injury. He made the FSWA 5A All-State First Team as a senior, and was named 5A Florida Player of the Year and a finalist for the 2008 Mr. Football. Richardson also received consensus All-American honors and was named to the Orlando Sentinel's All Southern Team (Florida).
Richardson also lettered in track & field at Escambia. In 2008, he captured a regional title in the 100-meter dash (10.81 s) and placed 5th at the state meet with a time of 10.9 seconds (World-class sprinter Jeff Demps won the event). He owned a personal-best time of 10.5 seconds in the 100 meters. In addition, he also participated in the long jump event and had a best-mark of 6.55 meters.
Richardson was frequently compared to Emmitt Smith, who also starred at Escambia (1987 graduate), but his physique and running style are more similar to Earl Campbell. Richardson also drew comparisons to Michael Turner and O. J. Simpson. Considered a five-star recruit by Rivals.com, Richardson was listed as the No. 2 running back prospect in the nation (behind only Bryce Brown). He chose Alabama over Florida, Florida State, and LSU, among others.

Richardson accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Alabama, where he played for coach Nick Saban's Alabama Crimson Tide football team from 2009 to 2011.
In his first year at Alabama, Richardson stepped in quickly for the departed Glen Coffee, and shared time at the tailback position with Roy Upchurch and Mark Ingram, Jr. When recruited, Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban called Richardson, "the real key to the class," and "an outstanding player at a position that a young player can contribute next year."
In the second game of the season against Florida International, Richardson had 118 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns in the 40–14 victory. Richardson was named SEC Freshman of the Week for Week 2 and Week 4. Richardson was also named to the 2009 SEC All-Freshman team alongside Barrett Jones and Nico Johnson. He also contributed significantly in the 2010 BCS National Championship against the Texas Longhorns with 109 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns. For the season, he had 145 carries for 751 yards rushing and 8 touchdowns. He also had 16 receptions for 126 yards receiving on the season.
Richardson started the first two games of the season with Mark Ingram sitting out due to an injury. In the season opener against San Jose State, he had 10 carries for 66 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also had 3 receptions for 46 yards. The following week against Penn State, he ran for a career-high 144 yards on 22 carries and a touchdown. He also had 4 catches for 46 yards. Trent was named Co-SEC Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts. In the annual rivalry game against Tennessee, he had 12 carries for 118 rushing yards and a touchdown in the 41–10 victory.
For the season, he had 112 carries for 700 yards rushing and 6 touchdowns and 266 yards receiving and 4 touchdowns. Richardson also had 634 kick return yards with a touchdown on the year.
With the departure of Mark Ingram to the NFL, Richardson took over the starting role at running back. During the season, Richardson ran for over 100 yards in nine games. He tied Shaun Alexander with six consecutive 100-yard rushing games. He scored two or more touchdowns in seven games. He set a career-high against Ole Miss running for 183 yards and four touchdowns. In the Iron Bowl, Richardson ran for a new career high of 203 yards in the 42–14 victory. He won the Doak Walker Award becoming the first player from Alabama to win. He finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting behind eventual winner Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck. In the 2012 BCS National Championship Game, Richardson rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown to secure his second national championship with the Crimson Tide.
For the season, Richardson had 1,679 rushing yards, breaking Mark Ingram's record for most rushing yards in a season, and 21 rushing touchdowns. His 21 rushing touchdowns was also an SEC running back record. He also had 338 receiving yards with three touchdowns, making his season total touchdowns 24 which tied Shaun Alexander's SEC record. On January 12, 2012, Richardson declared for the 2012 NFL Draft, thus forgoing his final year of collegiate eligibility. At the time of his announcement, he was projected as a first round pick and the top running back prospect in the draft.
Entering his junior season, Richardson was widely regarded as the best running back available in the 2012 NFL Draft, and he cemented his reputation with strong play over the course of the year. After undergoing a minor knee surgery in February 2012, Richardson did not participate in drills at the 2012 NFL Combine. He later also decided to skip workouts at the Alabama Pro Day on March 7. Richardson held his own Pro Day on March 27.
By March 2012, Richardson was widely projected to be a top six draft choice by the majority of analysts and scouts, with the Cleveland Browns, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and St. Louis Rams rumored to be showing the most interest. Former Colts vice chairman Bill Polian called him one of the "three sure-thing players" in the 2012 draft..
Richardson was selected in the first round with the third overall pick by the Cleveland Browns, after they had traded picks with the Minnesota Vikings to select him ahead of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Richardson was the highest selected running back since Reggie Bush went second overall in 2006. The Browns had not selected a running back in the first round since William Green in 2002. On July 23, Richardson and the Browns agreed to a four-year, $20.4 million contract (fully guaranteed) with a $13.3 million signing bonus.
On August 9, 2012, Richardson underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove some cartilage fragments in his left knee. Richardson missed the entire preseason, but returned for the season opener. In his debut against the Philadelphia Eagles, he rushed for 39 yards on 19 carries, being limited in his touches after having just come off the disabled list. The following week, in a 24-34 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals, he rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries. He also had 4 receptions for 36 yards and a receiving touchdown. He was the first Browns rookie to rush for over 100 yards and score rushing and receiving touchdowns, all in the same game. During Week 13, against the Kansas City Chiefs, Richardson rushed for 42 yards and 2 touchdowns, tying Jim Brown's franchise rookie record of 9 touchdowns. He rushed for 3.6 yards per carry, which was the lowest yards per carry stat for a rookie running back in the NFL 2012 season.
Prior to the 2013 season, Richardson was ranked as the 71st best player in the NFL by his fellow players. Richardson would only play two games for the Browns in 2013 before being traded. He rushed for 105 yards on 31 carries in losses to the Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens.
On September 18, 2013, Richardson was traded to the Indianapolis Colts for a 2014 first-round draft pick. The Colts were looking for a running back after a season-ending injury to Vick Ballard. In his first carry as a Colt, Richardson scored a one-yard touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers. He struggled through most of the season and was demoted in favor of Donald Brown on December 1, 2013. Richardson returned to his starting role in the Colts Week 15 game against the Houston Texans when Brown left due to injury, and recorded his first touchdown since Week 4 against Jacksonville. Richardson fumbled on his first career playoff carry against the Kansas City Chiefs in the Colts' Wild Card 45–44 victory.
Richardson began the 2014 season splitting carries with veteran running back Ahmad Bradshaw, limiting his carries and yardage totals. Bradshaw was injured in a Week 11 game against the New England Patriots, making Richardson the lead back. However, after Week 13, Dan Herron replaced Richardson as the Colts' primary running back after totaling 88 yards on just eight carries, including a 49-yard touchdown run. In the 2014–15 NFL playoffs, Richardson was not active for Indianapolis' final two playoff games. He was suspended by the team for the AFC Championship Game against the Patriots after he missed walk through for what he called a "family emergency" and did not alert the team. On March 12, 2015, the Colts waived Richardson.
On March 17, 2015, Richardson signed a two-year, $3,850,000 contract with the Oakland Raiders. The deal included $600,000 guaranteed. He missed the first part of training camp due to a bout with pneumonia. On August 31, 2015, Richardson was released by the team.
On April 18, 2016, Richardson signed with the Baltimore Ravens, but was waived by the team on August 2, 2016.
In July 2017, the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League added Richardson to their negotiation list. The following month, he announced his decision not to sign with the team. However, he eventually signed with the team on September 26, 2017. On October 27 against the Montreal Alouettes, Richardson suffered an ankle injury late in the game. He was placed on the injured list on November 1, and subsequently missed out on the playoffs. Richardson played in 4 games during the 2017 regular season, rushing 48 times for 259 yards and 2 touchdowns. His rushing totals, as well as his average yards per carry increased each week. Richardson also recovered a fumble from quarterback Kevin Glenn during a quarterback sneak, and converted the first down. On May 10, 2018 Roughriders head coach Chris Jones announced that the team did not expect Richardson to report to the team's 2018 training camp on May 20, 2018. On May 20, after failing to report to training camp, the Riders placed Richardson on the suspended list. It was revealed that Richardson would lose custody of his children if he crossed the Canadian border, effectively keeping him from playing in the CFL, and so to allow Richardson to sign with the local franchise of the startup Alliance of American Football, he was released by the Roughriders on August 15, 2018.
In 2018, Richardson signed with the Birmingham Iron of the Alliance of American Football for the 2019 AAF season. During the first game of the 2019 AAF season against the Memphis Express, Richardson carried for 58 yards in 23 carries, resulting in 2.5 yards per carry with two rushing touchdowns and one fumble. Richardson also recorded one catch, breaking several tackles for a 14 yard gain and a first down, as well as a two point conversion catch following his first touchdown.
Richardson has two daughters and one son. On February 16, 2017, Richardson was arrested on third-degree domestic violence charges in Hoover, Alabama.

The Star of David is a widely recognized symbol of Judaism.
Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people, based on principles and ethics embodied in the Bible (Tanakh) and the Talmud. According to Jewish tradition, the history of Judaism begins with the Covenant between G-d and Abraham (ca. 2000 BCE), the patriarch and progenitor of the Jewish people. Having started approximately 4,000 years ago, Judaism is the first recorded monotheistic faith and among the oldest religious traditions still in practice today. Jewish history and doctrines have influenced other religions such as Christianity, Islam, Samaritanism and the Bahá'í Faith.
While Judaism has seldom, if ever, been monolithic in practice, it has always been monotheistic in theology. It differs from many religions in that central authority is not vested in a person or group, but in sacred texts and traditions. Throughout the ages, Judaism has clung to a number of religious principles, the most important of which is the belief in a single, omniscient, omnipotent, benevolent, transcendent G-d, who created the universe and continues to govern it. According to traditional Jewish belief, the G-d who created the world established a covenant with the Jewish people, and revealed his laws and commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai in the form of the Torah. The traditional practice of Judaism revolves around study and the observance of God's laws and commandments as written in the Torah and expounded in the Talmud.
With an estimated 14 million adherents in 2006,[1][2] Judaism is the world's eleventh-largest organized religion.

Throughout the years, breast reduction has remained one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures; more than 40,000 women underwent breast reduction surgery in 2014 alone. The reasons women have for undergoing the procedure are many and varied, but most breast reduction patients share at least one common goal: they want to bring their breasts into improved proportion with the rest of their bodies. Some women wish to do so because they want to feel less self-conscious about their appearance; others are tired of the physical strain their heavy, pendulous breasts place on their shoulders and backs. Many simply want to lead more active lifestyles unencumbered by large breasts. Whatever reason you might have for considering breast reduction surgery, you can rest assured that Dr. Patricia Berbari will give you the natural-looking, aesthetically pleasing results you desire.
Although breast reduction surgery offers a multitude of physical and cosmetic benefits, it is a major surgical procedure and, as such, requires a significant recovery period. Dr. Berbari will discuss your breast reduction recovery with you during your consultation at her Gatineau office so that you know precisely what to expect before you commit to the procedure. She is a firm believer in the value of patient education and will provide you with all of the information you need to make confident decisions regarding your treatment.
We invite you to read the following general information about breast reduction recovery and then schedule your initial consultation with Dr. Berbari, during which you will find out what your specific healing period will be like.
What does the typical breast reduction recovery entail?
Breast reduction surgery is generally performed on an outpatient basis, which means that you will be able to return home on the day of your surgery. Of course, you will not be able to drive yourself home as you will still be feeling the effects of your anesthesia, so you will have to arrange for someone to drive you to and from your appointment. It is probably a good idea to have someone take care of things around the house for you for at least a day or two after your surgery, as well. Although you will be encouraged to do some light walking during this time, your ability to move will otherwise be limited.
You should arrange to take approximately two weeks off of work for your recovery. During this time, you cannot exercise beyond your light walking, take baths, or raise your arms above your head. When you are not walking, you will be resting in an upright position. Even when you are sleeping, you should keep your head elevated.
It is important that you diligently follow all post-surgical instructions provided to you by Dr. Berbari. You must take all medications as recommended, drink lots of fluids, and attend all follow-up appointments. The success of your procedure depends heavily on your ability to follow Dr. Berbari's instructions to the letter.

Many could say that 2016 was a great year for Squash; we have selected the five moments that stood out for us and made Squash popular again.
Despite the Olympic snub, there is no denying that squash has made the headlines in 2016.
Okay the news of Bath Sports and Leisure Centre removing their Squash courts by GLL was not a great start to the year, but it got people talking about Squash – which translated into plans to revive the sport with local squash communities promoting their squash activities, which showed encouraging signs of an increase in junior squash participation.
This tournament received excellent reviews by the squash community fans and many squash players felt that this event could serve as a catalyst to the event format at the Olympics.
The impact of this event in China was hit with local fans giving a welcome reception to all the players; from which the success of the event will translate into creating more feeder initiatives of Squash that will make the International Olympic Committee (IOC) realise the global appeal of Squash and why it should make an Olympic Sport.
Furthermore, the success of the tournament lead to UK Parliamentary figures lobbying the IOC to get Squash into the Olympics in 2024. As a result one such MP, who happens to be a former Squash champion and former Welsh squash number 1 – Christina Rees MP for Neath in Wales, published a report titled Squash and the Olympic Games, made the issue of getting Squash into the Olympics a topic for debate in the UK Houses of Parliament in July 2016.
The news of a rising Squash star from Jamaica is great news as our founder as he and the other Directors are both of Jamaican parentage. In 2016, Chris Binnie (on the left), is the current Jamaican Squash No.1 moved up the Professional Squash Association (PSA) ranking of 89th place. We strongly believe, he is definitely on the road to winning world championships in Squash and will serve with other players from Jamaica as a great role model for the next generation of players.
Laura Massora began 2016 as world no.1 and won the China Open in September, but for us the key moment was when she gave her opinion on the Olympic snub by one top golfer. Meanwhile, with Nick Matthews, he made headlines speaking out about the great injustice of squash not featured in the Olympics again as well as progressing to the finals of the US Open in October.
However, news of him lobbying to get Squash into the Olympics by tweeting about his interviews with athletes going to Rio made him a hero too many squash enthusiasts. Let us not forget the senior and junior squash team's success at the Belgium Open Squash Tournament in March; thus, the success will cascade to the squash academies around England, with the hope of more initiatives to get young people to play squash at their local club.
In the Caribbean, we were pleased to see the squash participation amongst the juniors in the Jamaica continue to grow with news of teams taking part in tournaments in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Despite finishing fifth in the tournament, this bodes well for the team in 2017 tournaments as a goal to win.
Meanwhile, in neighbouring Barbados, their junior squash team won a record six gold medals in the individual competition at 34th annual Caribbean Junior Squash Championships in the Cayman Islands.
In July 2016, we mentioned in our blog about Squash is transforming a community with the development of Squash centres for excellence as a part of a sports inclusion initiative for young people with disability. This kind of act means that squash has its mass appeal and will serve a catalyst to increasing squash participation. Furthermore, once Squash is in the Olympics, will also have a place in the Para-Olympics.
To conclude, in our opinion, these moments have helped raise the profile of Squash in 2016. Along with the study by sports researchers, acknowledging that Squash and its racquet cousins are the best sports to participate in order to prolong life. This is very encouraging for Squash development in 2017; thus, we hope that IOC members come to their senses and give Squash its rightful place in the 2024 Olympics Games.

Pensions: 12.5% strikes in schools expected Tuesday in France, 35% in Paris
While a little more than half of primary school teachers were on strike on the first day of the mobilization against the pension reform, they are only 12.5% Tuesday, according to the figures of the Minister of National Education , Jean-Michel Blanquer.
About 12.5% of primary school teachers are expected to be on strike in France on Tuesday, another day of protest against pension reform, said the Minister of Education on France Inter.
"It's very different from one region to another, Paris in particular denotes a higher rate of strike, around 35%," added Jean-Michel Blanquer. On Thursday, December 5, just over half of primary school teachers were strikers.

Recently I was asked to recommend a beginner (easy) pantograph. This brought to mind the process I went through when I purchased my APQS Millennium five years ago. I would spend hours online looking for the perfect quilting design that would allow a newbie like me to create a quilting design on a customer quilt that looked like I had been quilting for years. I have built my business using pantographs and would love to share with you some of my favorites over the next several posts.
When you are building your inventory I would suggest starting out with a good feather, flower, leaf, geometric or "guy" design, and a design that would do well on a baby quilt. Having spent $$$ on pantographs I would recommend trying to resist impulse buying to start with. Look for patterns that have registration lines for the next row. This will make advancing the quilt for row placement much easier. Look for a design that "nests". If a pattern nests well you should not be able to tell where one row ends and the next row begins.
Plumage is my favorite easy feather. www.willowleafstudio.com Practice following with the laser for a couple of passes and you will be ready to quilt your first all over feather.

Mabul is an island off the south-eastern coast of Sabah, Malaysia. It became popular due to its proximity to Sipadan island, which is only about half an hour away by boat. Mabul has a lot to offer. Apart from being the base for divers who are going to Sipadan, it is also becoming a favorite diving spot. Its shallow water serves as perfect starting point for beginners while the variety of marine creatures provide divers with abundant opportunity for underwater macro photography. Among the fascinating creatures are blue ringed octopus, sea turtles, nudibranch and leaf fish.
Apart for the underwater world, the island itself offers breathtaking landscape with white sandy beach and crystal clear water that make it a prefect place to relax and unwind. The other treasure of Mabul is its people. They are often referred to as "Bajau Laut" or Sea Gypsies, particularly due to their nomadic lifestyle. While most of them are Malaysian citizens, many are immigrants from the neighbouring Philippines.
