The BIGGEST problem with clean energy
So, is the energy used to pump the water back up more than the energy made?
You have to get the same amount of water back up as comes down.
There just isn't any need for these massive power generators.
Smart people out there should be able to have individual house power plants rather than these obnoxious mega constructions.
For example
800 watts of solar
a brushless motor that can turn at 1600 rpm on 200 watts, (we all know how efficient and powerful they are)
a generator that can output 1.6kw at1600 rpm
= 1.4kw into a storage battery for night usage
that's more out than in.
Laws of physics? 1687.
Time to re write them .
All this stuff is relying on old technology, wind , solar, water.

Job creation remains a critical challenge for South Africa. Despite strong achievements in macro-economic stability and increases in employment, the growing labour force has outstripped the capacity of the labour market to absorb young people. The state of the country’s skills base, rendered inadequate by the legacy of apartheid, contributes to sustained inequalities in the labour market. This impacts on the capacity of the economy to grow in an increasingly competitive global environment. In this context, Vocational Education and Training (VET) is viewed as an important mechanism for building the necessary intermediate technical skills to support key sectors of the economy. However, international experience demonstrates that expanding the VET system and developing human capital more broadly will not in itself lead to increased job creation. The alignment of skills supply and demand can only be achieved through a well-developed understanding of the factors that support or inhibit the transition of young people into the labour market. This study investigates these factors through the lens of social capital theory. Through tracing 1,532 individuals who graduated from FET Colleges in the Gauteng province in 1999, the study interrogates the role of bonding and bridging social capital in supporting the transition into colleges and from colleges into the labour market. The findings show support for the three hypotheses: 1) Poor socio-economic family contexts appear to offer little information from which to make effective educational choices. Young people generally make such choices on the basis of perceived long-term value of post-school education rather than short-term economic considerations. 2) FET colleges are ineffective agents of bridging social capital and therefore have limited impact on the rate of employment, in particular the rate of\ud
relevant employment. 3) Personal networks are critical, but in impoverished environments are ineffective for finding meaningful employment on initial entry into the labour market. Therefore, restricted social networks have the potential to further entrench social inequality. The study contributes to a greater understanding of the challenges facing youth in navigating through the transition from school to work and the implications for FET policy in pressurising colleges to create access to effective social networks for their students and thereby meaningfully contribute to job creation | 1 | 0 | 0 |
I inserted this into my Galaxy Note, powered the phone on and went into storage. I pressed on 'mount sd card' it said it didn't understand the filesystem and asked if I wanted to format it. I did and then I saw 59 gigs of free space.Works great and got it for 43 bucks off Amazon.Con:It's extremely slow to write to. If I try to write a 3gb file from my PC to the card it takes about 26 minutes (2MB a sec). If I write to the internal SD card on my phone it writes at 10MB a sec. I don't understand why it's that slow. I can accept that it will be slower than an internal SD however I didn't know it would be dog slow. My 32GB samsung micro sd was much faster... | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Do they even exist????
<p>I recently made a booking with Sweepsouth. When I called the telephone number provided on my booking confirmation, the agent advised me that the person who sent me the email no longer works there but they still use that email address to send out confirmations. I asked that a manager phone me back, it is now 4 days later and nobody has phoned me. I replied to the email from this imaginary person, and got no response. I then sent a cancellation email to support@sweepsouth, whereupon I received an automated response, but still not confirmation of cancellation. When trying to call the call centre, it takes so long for the phone to be answered, that I gave up eventually and put the phone down.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am extremely concerned, as this company now has my credit card details, but it seems they don't even really exist, as I can't get hold of anyone?</p> | 1 | 0 | 0 |

# Leak Repair Services In Charlotte, NC
Even relatively small pipe leaks can result in expensive damage and, in some cases, health or safety issues, especially if you don’t address them right away. By getting the right leak repair services, you can maintain your property’s integrity and quality without worrying about potential health or safety risks.
This is especially important in the greater Charlotte, North Carolina, area due to its relatively high humidity levels, which can exacerbate the damage caused by a leaking pipe.
## How Do Leak Repair Services Work?
Leak repair services involve a systematic, step-by-step approach. Here’s how they typically work and what each phase involves.
### Inspection of the Impacted Area Before Leak Repair
Assessing the source of the leak before starting repair involves performing a visual inspection and keeping an eye out for signs of leaks, such as damp walls and water stains or rings. In addition, the inspection will look for mold growth — both in and around the immediate plumbing area.
In some cases, such as leaks in plumbing that go through the basement or attic, we can get a clear view of the damaged pipe.
Often, especially when working with leaks in bathrooms and kitchens, we focus on the area surrounding your receptacles to assess the damage.
### Diagnosing the Leak
During this step, a plumber identifies the type of leak you’re experiencing. For instance, some leaks occur in damaged supply lines, while others stem from drain issues. A loose elbow joint in a drain pipe can cause significant damage over time. A screw or nail piercing a supply line behind your drywall may result in a sudden, more noticeable problem.
### Assess the Leak Damage
During this phase, we determine which elements of your home have been impacted by the leak. For instance, the bottoms or sides of bathroom or kitchen cabinets could have mold or damage.
### Repair the Leak
The repair procedure depends on the nature of the leak. Mitigation typically starts with making sure water has been shut off — at least to the leaking area. We also ensure you have absorbent material to collect water that could otherwise cause damage.
Once we’re sure we’ve shut off the flood of water to the leaking area, we then repair the plumbing issue. This could involve replacing a section of pipe, refitting a joint, or other techniques. Once the leak has been repaired, we test the system to make sure the issue has been fully resolved.

**Call Parks at 704-596-8200 to schedule Leak Repair Services in Charlotte, NC, or the surrounding areas today.**
## Types of Plumbing Leaks
Some common leak diagnoses related to plumbing issues include:
### Toilet Leaks
Toilets tend to leak at the plumbing entering the toilet around the shut-off valve. Sometimes, the toilet tank has not been adequately installed, which can result in a leak at the bottom of the tank.
Although a leaky bowl is relatively rare, a crack in the bowl can result in water seeping out of it and onto or inside your floor.
### Faucet Leaks
Faucet leaks are common and are typically caused by a bad faucet valve. If this is the case, you’ll probably need a new faucet since the valve is usually part of the faucet assembly.
### Water Heater Leaks
A leaky water heater can result from corrosion inside the heater or in the pipes leading up to or extending from your unit. A leaky heater tends to have water pooling up directly underneath it, while leaky inlet or outlet pipes often have issues where they join with the heater.
### Leaky Shower Heads
When your shower head leaks, the issue is most likely either the shower head itself or the valve behind the handle that turns on your shower. If the problem is the shower head, this could be because the head has a mechanism that allows you to change the type of water flow or shut it off altogether.
On the other hand, if the issue is with the valve behind the handle, this could be a worn or damaged valve ring. In some cases, the valve threading is damaged, so the valve can’t close all the way when you turn your shower off.
**If you’re experiencing any of these problems, let us help you.** **with Parks by calling 704-596-8200 today.**
## What Are the Benefits of Leak Repair Services in Charlotte, NC?
The greater Charlotte, North Carolina, area comes with some interesting challenges in terms of climate that make leak repair especially beneficial.
First, leak repair services can save you money. The damage leaks cause, especially in a humid environment, can easily spread and cost you significant cash. By addressing problems, you can avoid expensive repairs down the road.
Leak repairs in Charlotte also make it easier to maintain the value of your home**.** Leaks can impact the structural integrity and appearance of your home. That’s why addressing them quickly can maintain or improve your home’s resale value.
Getting prompt leak repair prevents health issues. Since leaks often result in the growth of mold and mildew, they can pose significant health risks to you and your loved ones. By repairing the leaks and treating any impacted areas, you can make the air around your home safer to breathe.
## How Do You Know You Need Leak Repair in Charlotte, NC?
Some signs that you need leak repair are relatively easy to spot, while others can sneak beneath the radar if you’re not sure what to look for.
One telltale sign is stains on ceilings, walls, or floors. If you see just colored areas, especially if they’re oblong or ring-shaped, this could indicate a leak nearby.
You may also smell mildew or mold. A musty, thick smell results from mold and mildew that grow after a leak. To detect the smell, you may have to open cabinets or sniff beneath them around their toe-kicks.
Wet spots are another sure indicator. Sometimes, wet spots may go unnoticed because homeowners presume they’re caused by mopping or other cleaning tasks. However, you should pay attention to water that doesn’t evaporate as quickly as it should because that could indicate a leak. In some cases, you may notice a wet spot on your lawn or outside your home if the water supply line has been ruptured near the ground’s surface.
When water bills are higher than usual, the spike could be the result of a leak. Some leaks can push your bills significantly higher, especially if they involve a cracked or burst pipe.
Also, if you hear what sounds like it could be a drip, it’s best to investigate rather than ignore it. It’s easy to mistake these for other, more normal sounds that houses make as they settle or shift with changes in temperature or humidity. When in doubt, check it out.
The condition of your paint or other finishes can indicate a leak as well. Sometimes, paint may bubble and peel even before you recognize damage in the drywall. Therefore, any time you notice irregularities in your paint, you should check it and the surrounding areas for wetness.

In addition, while we’re on the phone, we can walk you through steps you should take in the short term. A few simple tips can significantly reduce the long-term effects of a leak.
### What to Do if You Have a Leak Emergency
While we may be able to come help out right away, here are some tips for how to deal with an emergency leak in the moments after you notice it:
* Immediately shut off the water supply to the affected area—even if this means shutting off water to the whole house.
* Move any valuable objects, electronics, or heirlooms from both the immediate area and other locations the leak could impact.
* Start collecting and/or drying water as soon as possible. This can go a long way toward limiting damage to floors, walls, upholstery, and carpeting.
* Once the leak has stopped and the recovery process has begun, start thoroughly documenting all damage. This can be useful for insurance purposes, so it’s best to do it while it’s top of mind.
* If you live on the second floor or higher, check with your downstairs neighbors to see if the leak impacted them as well.
* Be especially careful with sewage-related leaks because they can spread harmful bacteria.

## Charlotte, NC Leak Repair Services FAQs
### How Do I Know If I Have a Plumbing Leak?
It can be tricky to know if you have a plumbing leak, especially if the leak is small or in a closed-off area. However, you might notice a few telltale signs, like staggeringly high water bills, mold growth, or musty odors, that could point to a problematic leak.
### What Should I Do If I Suspect a Leak?
If you think your home’s plumbing has sprung a leak or have found signs that could indicate one, contact a professional plumber immediately. Leaks can create ripple effects, causing damage if left unchecked and untreated, so it’s important to act quickly. Your plumber will examine the trouble areas to detect and repair the leak, nipping it in the bud before it becomes a serious problem.
### Can I Prevent Plumbing Leaks?
While preventing all leaks is impossible, regular maintenance and inspections can dramatically reduce the risk of such problems developing. So, it’s a good idea to schedule routine inspections and maintenance to catch issues that could potentially become a problem later down the road.
### How Much Does Leak Detection Cost?
The cost of leak detection services and the necessary repairs vary based on the specifics of the issue, including the complexity and location of the leak. At Parks Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, & Electrical, we’ll provide a cost estimate to give you a better idea of what to expect.
### What Should I Do if I See or Hear a Leak?
If you notice a leak, the first thing you should do is turn off your water supply. In some cases, it may be possible to shut off the water going to the specific area of the leak. It’s also crucial to contact leak repair services so professionals can contain the damage and fix the issue.
### Does Repairing a Leak Take a Long Time?
Some leaks can be repaired relatively quickly, in an hour or less. However, the actual repair time depends on the nature of the leak and the extent of the damage.
### Will My Insurance Coverage Pay for Leak Repair?
Your insurance company will determine your coverage based on your policy, but damage from accidental leaks is often covered by homeowners’ insurance. On the other hand, gradual damage over time from a persistent leak may not be covered by your policy. A quick call to your insurance company can clarify what’s covered and what’s not.

## Strategy Roadmap Overview
A Strategy Roadmap in manufacturing is a visual representation that outlines the strategic journey of an organization, detailing the steps and milestones required to achieve specific goals over time. Typically used by organizational leaders, project managers, and strategy teams, this roadmap serves as a comprehensive guide, linking current operations to future aspirations. By bridging the gap between present capabilities and envisioned achievements, it provides clear direction, fosters alignment among various departments, and ensures that all stakeholders have a clear view of the priorities, timelines, and desired outcomes, ultimately driving focused efforts and resource optimization.
## Strategy Roadmap Details
A Strategy Roadmap is a pivotal tool in the manufacturing sector, acting as a blueprint for an organization’s strategic journey. It visually showcases the step-by-step progression towards defined goals, ensuring that every stakeholder, from top management to floor workers, understands and works towards a unified objective. The tool is much more than a simple timeline; it’s a comprehensive guide that captures the essence of an organization’s strategic intent.
1. **Vision and Objectives:** At the core of the roadmap is the overarching vision of the organization, broken down into tangible objectives. This provides a clear direction for the journey ahead.
2. **Milestones:** These are significant checkpoints or goals that need to be achieved at specified intervals. They act as markers indicating the progress of the strategic journey.
3. **Tasks and Initiatives:** Under each milestone, specific tasks or initiatives are laid out, providing detailed actions required to achieve the said milestone.
4. **Dependencies:** This element captures the interrelationship between tasks, indicating which tasks are dependent on others for execution.
5. **Timeframes:** A crucial aspect of the roadmap, timeframes give an estimate of when each task or milestone is expected to be accomplished, ensuring timely execution.
6. **Resources Allocated:** This section details the resources – be it manpower, machinery, or money – allocated to each task or initiative.
7. **Potential Risks and Mitigation:** Every strategic journey has its challenges. This element identifies potential risks and outlines strategies to mitigate or overcome them.
A Strategy Roadmap is indispensable for manufacturing organizations aiming for systematic growth and transformation. It not only provides a clear path forward but also ensures alignment, focus, and efficient resource allocation. Utilizing this tool effectively can be the difference between strategic success and missed opportunities.
## Strategy Roadmap Process
Introducing a Strategy Roadmap into a strategic organization is an endeavor that demands meticulous planning, cross-functional collaboration, and a keen understanding of the organization’s overarching objectives. As project managers spearhead this effort, they must ensure that the roadmap not only serves as a guiding tool but also as a dynamic framework that resonates with every stakeholder’s vision.
1. **Stakeholder Engagement:** Initiate dialogues with key stakeholders to understand their vision, objectives, and expectations. Success hinges on their buy-in and the alignment of the roadmap with their aspirations.
2. **Gather Necessary Data:** Collect relevant data, insights, and forecasts from different departments. A roadmap built on robust data ensures realistic and achievable milestones.
3. **Draft the Initial Roadmap:** With the collected data, draft a preliminary roadmap detailing objectives, milestones, and tentative timelines. This initial draft serves as a foundation for further refinement.
4. **Facilitate Collaborative Review:** Organize review sessions involving cross-functional teams to obtain diverse feedback. Incorporating multifaceted insights guarantees a more comprehensive roadmap.
5. **Finalize and Document:** Post review, finalize the roadmap, and document it. Ensuring clarity and simplicity in presentation makes it accessible and understandable for all.
6. **Communicate and Educate:** Disseminate the finalized roadmap across the organization, and conduct sessions to educate stakeholders on its components. Effective communication ensures unified direction and commitment.
7. **Regularly Update and Refine:** Monitor the roadmap’s progress and gather feedback continually. Periodic revisions keep the roadmap relevant and aligned with evolving organizational objectives.
The successful integration of a Strategy Roadmap into an organization revolves around collaboration, continuous communication, and adaptability. For a project manager, striking the balance between strategic foresight and practical adaptability is key. The roadmap serves not just as a strategic compass but also as a living document, evolving in tandem with the organization’s journey.

## Portfolio Management Overview
Portfolio Management for strategy refers to the centralized management of one or more project portfolios to achieve strategic objectives. Typically used by top-level executives, strategy managers, and project management professionals, it involves analyzing and prioritizing projects and programs based on relevance, value, and alignment with organizational goals. Offering a holistic view of all ongoing and potential projects ensures that resources are allocated efficiently and that chosen endeavors align with the company’s strategic direction, thereby maximizing value and ensuring a robust return on investment.
## Portfolio Management Details
Portfolio Management in the realm of strategy is a systematic approach to making decisions about investment mix and policy, matching investments to objectives, and balancing risk against performance. It ensures that an organization can meet its strategic goals through the effective management of its project and program portfolios. By diving deep into the core elements of the Portfolio Management tool and process, one can grasp its intricate facets and inherent value.
1. **Strategic Alignment**: At its core, Portfolio Management focuses on ensuring that all projects and programs align with the overarching strategic objectives of the organization. This involves assessing each project’s viability and relevance to long-term goals.
2. **Resource Allocation**: This involves distributing resources, both human and capital, across various projects in a portfolio based on priority, potential return on investment, and strategic value.
3. **Performance Measurement**: Through metrics and KPIs, the performance of ongoing projects is continually assessed to ensure they are on track and delivering the expected value.
4. **Risk Management**: Identifying, assessing, and managing potential risks across the portfolio is crucial. This ensures that projects remain viable and that any potential threats to their success are addressed promptly.
5. **Stakeholder Communication**: Keeping all stakeholders informed about the status, challenges, and successes of projects within the portfolio fosters transparency and trust.
6. **Periodic Review**: Regularly reviewing the entire portfolio helps in adjusting strategies based on changing organizational goals, external market conditions, or project performance.
7. **Project Prioritization**: Not all projects hold equal value. Based on potential ROI, alignment with strategy, and other criteria, projects are prioritized to determine which ones receive resources and attention.
Portfolio Management isn’t just about managing multiple projects; it’s about ensuring that an organization is investing its resources in the right endeavors. By meticulously aligning projects with strategy, optimizing resource allocation, and continuously monitoring performance, organizations can drive value, foster innovation, and stay ahead in a competitive landscape. Adopting such a methodical approach ensures strategic clarity, better resource utilization, and a higher likelihood of success in the organization’s ventures.
## Portfolio Management Process
Introducing Portfolio Management into a strategy-driven organization demands a holistic approach that ensures all projects and investments align with overarching strategic goals. As a project manager spearheading this initiative, one must adopt a structured and systematic process, ensuring a seamless transition to this refined method of managing projects and investments.
1. **Assess the Current Landscape**: Start by evaluating existing projects, programs, and initiatives to understand their alignment with strategic goals. Successful integration hinges on knowing where the organization currently stands.
2. **Stakeholder Engagement**: Engage with key stakeholders, from top leadership to team members, to gain buy-in and understand their expectations. Their support and feedback are vital for the successful adoption of Portfolio Management.
3. **Define Criteria for Selection and Prioritization**: Establish clear criteria that will guide the selection and prioritization of projects within the portfolio. These criteria ensure that only the most aligned and value-driven projects are pursued.
4. **Integrate Resource Management**: Determine the available resources, both human and financial, and devise a plan for their optimal allocation across the portfolio. Efficient resource allocation minimizes waste and maximizes output.
5. **Implement Monitoring and Reporting Mechanisms**: Introduce systems and tools that facilitate the continuous monitoring of projects and the generation of regular performance reports. Transparent reporting ensures that deviations are promptly identified and rectified.
6. **Train and Upskill Teams**: Organize training sessions to acquaint teams with the new processes and tools introduced. An informed and skilled team is essential for the effective functioning of Portfolio Management.
7. **Review and Iterate**: Once implemented, periodically review the Portfolio Management processes, seeking feedback and making necessary adjustments. This step ensures that the system remains agile and responsive to changing organizational needs.
The introduction of Portfolio Management into a strategy organization is not merely about integrating a new tool but about ushering in a cultural shift towards strategic alignment and value maximization. The journey, though demanding, promises significant rewards in terms of better resource utilization, increased project success rates, and enhanced organizational agility. The project manager’s role is pivotal in ensuring a smooth transition, and the success factors lie in thorough preparation, continuous engagement, and a commitment to iterative improvement. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Falafel is outstanding here, dark exterior with green interior, and a nice spicy peppery taste that is satisfying. Cooked just right too for texture. Fries are a nice side. Prices reasonable here, plenty of parking, and a few atypical sodas available in the fridge. Note that there's just a few seats inside, since this is also a grocery place. To-go will probably be my main strategy for this great Falafel destination. | 0 | 0 | 1 |
I have been here countless times since my last review and found myself here for a quick drink and some appetizers last night. I took a huge hiatus as I was in Michigan for a month and then have been crazy busy since arriving back in Phoenix and transitioning into a new job- I was sad because I thought they would've forgotten me. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they did not forget me at all. I love that!
We grabbed some brews and shared the patatas bravas (a personal favorite) and the mushroom appetizer. The mushroom appetizer was heavy on the cheese but still a tasty bite. The patatas bravas really never fail- they remind me of my Mom's version of french fries.
I'd highly recommend this place for a date- it seems to pay off in more ways than one. Always great service and interesting eats- still lovin' Tuck Shop for being in my neighborhood! | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Pathetic!!
Months ago already I asked Isabella Garcia to please not send me products unless first confirmed with me. Last week out of no where with no confirmation from me and checking with me first they just send me a box of products after i clearly asked months ago already to not do this we have been through this before!! I bought online cash two months ago all i needed I am not going to pay for more products again which i don't need and did not ask for. I told them to come fetch and their products but of course they don't care. If you dare debit my account for those products I will take this matter further! They insisted they cannot come collect without talking to me over the phone, WHAT FOR!! there is nothing for me to say, you didnt bother to phone me before you sent it but now that you must come collect it now you want to call me!!!! I then agreed to call me between 9 and 10 am but of course they didn't stick to this commitment and decided to call when it seems them fit. Please ensure that you come and collect your products and never again will i use Isabella Gracia now I will be taking my business else where. Dont bother to call me now when you couldnt do the effort to pick up a phone before just ensure you fetch your products and dont you dare debit me for those products or ever send me any products ever again!! | 0 | 1 | 0 |

# Andar
## Product Launch
# Carry What Matters.
!!!
Founded in 2015, Andar embarked on a mission to create distinctive, minimalist products designed for longevity. Inspired by our name—"Andar," which means "to carry" in Spanish—we focus on streamlining and organizing your essentials. Over the years, our commitment has been to innovate unique designs for everyday items, rooted in a philosophy that emphasizes handcrafted goods made from premium materials. We aim not just to replace old items but to invite you to declutter and organize your life, highlighting the importance of carrying only what truly matters.
Based in Chandler, Arizona, Andar reflects the resilience and beauty of our desert origins. Our dedicated team draws inspiration from the Arizona landscape, embodying the simplicity and endurance of the desert. "Desert grown" is not just our location but our journey, shaping products that resonate with authentic beauty and rugged elegance. At Andar, we strive to encapsulate the essence of the desert in every product, offering items that are as practical as they are timeless.
# **Client Objective**
The primary objective was to showcase the superior craftsmanship and high-quality materials of the Memphis bag and other products. Northern Visuals was tasked with creating a suite of creative assets, starting with video production storytelling that highlighted the meticulous handcrafting process and the timeless appeal of Andar’s products. High-resolution photography was also crucial, capturing the intricate details and textures of the products for use across Andar’s marketing channels.
This collaboration aimed to develop a cohesive and visually striking brand presence, attracting discerning customers who value luxury and practicality. By leveraging Northern Visuals’ expertise, Andar sought to make a lasting impression, driving increased engagement and sales, and reinforcing their position as a leading provider of premium, handcrafted goods.
# **Our Approach**
Since Andar’s best-performing content was high-quality social media reels, the Northern Visuals team got to work creating more, including strategic photography. Scouting locations, partnering with creators and local business owners, and developing numerous digital campaigns all went into the pre-production process.
# **How we did it:**
Once the process was finalized, we assembled our internal team of experienced creators and stylists to bring the chosen concepts to life. The shoot took place in a bustling, downtown urban vibe and a sunny, beautiful park. The team focused on creating high-quality images and videos that showcased Andar’s products in a professional way. The models were carefully chosen to represent the brand’s target audience.
# The Result
We delivered the final set of images and videos to Andar, surpassing all expectations, for use across various marketing means, including their website, social media, and email campaigns. Our team also provided guidelines for using the fresh creative to maintain consistency across all platforms.
The end result had Andar execs saying “we can see the dedication to your craft in the content, but also the creativity that you all put into this shoot. The team and I are so so so appreciate of y'all.”
Wow! An amazing result, thanks to creativity and strategy.

I believe that marketplaces are great to attract new customers. But when it comes to building relationships with your audience the marketplaces have very limited options. Marketplaces like Rarible and OpenSea sell millions of NFT, so you’re up against a ton of competition. It’s very difficult to create a unique and strong brand image by selling there. When you sell your artworks on your own site, on the other hand, you’re not renting a spot on a marketplace. You have the autonomy to represent your brand however you want to. You have your own space and customers actually come looking for your store once they know your brand.That's why we've made an NFT shopping cart widget that can be added to any website. Integration is as simple as adding a facebook pixel to a website or a tag manager. And you don't have to make new NFT as you can sell the ones you have already minted on the marketplaces.We are in beta and are very attentive to the needs of each new user. We are looking for beta users now. The first 30 will get a 6-month free trial and all the attention they can get :)DM me or leave your email on the if interested. | 0 | 1 | 0 |

I don't know. Its a very long classroom and the shooter came in on the other side. Its got a bit of curve to it so I never even saw the shooter. Wasn't even sure if it had been in the same room as me for a while because I didn't see it I only heard it. I was literally the closest person to the door and yet I wasn't first out the door. A lot of thoughts and emotions really quickly, waiting to see if there would be a second bang (perhaps stupidly, I entertained the possibility it was a balloon), disbelief, and then fear I was gonna get trampled as I had people pushing on my back trying to get out as well. I ran for a bit towards my apartment and one kid that ran yelled that there was a shooter. I just kept running even past people walking towards where the shots came from. | 0 | 0 | 1 |
I do a lot of traveling and during a quick trip to Phoenix, I was able to get two classes in at their studio. It was very clean and the people were friendly. I did think the studio was excessively hot my second class but everyone else seemed to be ok with it so perhaps it was just me.
I would defiantly return if I were in the area again. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

I wanted to upgrade my HTC Evo micro SD card. I found this SanDisk at a good price. I have had few SanDisks earlier and had no problems with it. I ordered and it was shipped fast. It comes with SD adapter and makes it usage as regular SD card. I unmounted the existing card from the phone, copied over the contents from one SD card to another using adapter and loaded up the new one. Works great. I didn't see a huge difference in speed, but may be I didn't run any speed tests or anything. I like the price for the brand and 32gb card. I will recommend it. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

These operating segments have global responsibility and accountability for business commercial activities and financial performance. Dana evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on external sales and segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA is a primary driver of cash flows from operations and a measure of our ability to maintain and continue to invest in our operations and provide shareholder returns. Our segments are charged for corporate and other shared administrative costs. Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

See Note 1 for additional information on ASU 2017-07. Prior period segment EBITDA amounts have not been recast due to the insignificance of the adjustments. Had the prior period amounts been recast to conform with the current presentation, segment EBITDA for 2017 and 2016 would have been $359 and $275 for Light Vehicle, $119 and $98 for Commercial Vehicle, $213 and $130 for Off-Highway and $173 and $163 for Power Technologies.

Title:
Analysis of pharmacists' opinions, attitudes and experiences with generic drugs and generic substitution in the Czech Republic.
Abstract:
Generic substitution (GS) is an integral part of drug policy in many countries. Similarly to other countries its introduction in the Czech Republic gave rise to a vibrant discussion. The aim of the study was to map and analyze pharmacists' opinions of, attitudes towards and experiences with generic drugs and GS after the first year from its legislative embodiment in the Czech Republic. All 7,665 members of the Czech Chamber of Pharmacists were addressed to participate in a questionnaire survey between November 2008 and March 2009. The questionnaire consisted of 28 questions concerning the issue of generic drugs and GS and was divided into five sections. All collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlations were tested by selected parametric and non-parametric tests. A total of 615 completed questionnaire forms were returned (a questionnaire return rate of 8.0%). The demographic characteristics of the respondents were as follows: 470 (76.4%) females, mean age of 37.5 years (SD = 10.4) and 429 (69.6%) pharmacists with a practice specialization. Altogether 345 (56.1%) respondents became aware of the issue of brand name and generic drugs during their undergraduate studies. 378 (61.5%) respondents considered generic drugs as bioequivalent and 455 (74.0%) respondents as therapeutically equivalent to the respective brand name drugs. 99 (16.1%) pharmacists believed that generic products are of lower quality than branded drugs and 69 (11.2%) respondents expected generics to cause more adverse drug reactions. GS was perceived as a positive tool by 476 (77.4%) respondents. Only 71 (11.5%) respondents showed acquaintance with all the legal rules for GS. Legislation awareness and attitude towards GS was correlated with age (p < 0.001). The use of GS in the routine practice depends on the pharmacists' familiarity with the relevant legislation and attitude towards generic drugs and GS. Approaching patients on an individual basis and pharmacists' awareness can minimize adverse drug events caused by generic drugs and at the same time enhance the professional status of pharmacists. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

When we're designing new products, services or businesses, the only time you'll know if they're any good, if the designs are good, is to see how they're used in the real world, in context. I'm reminded of that every time I walk past Highbury Fields in north London. It's absolutely beautiful. There's a big open green space. There's Georgian buildings around the side. But then there's this mud trap that cuts across the middle. People clearly don't want to walk all the way around the edge. Instead, they want to take the shortcut, and that shortcut is self-reinforcing. Now, this shortcut is called a desire path, and it's often the path of least resistance. I find them fascinating, because they're often the point where design and user experience diverge. Now at this point, I should apologize, because you guys are going to start seeing these everywhere. But today, I'm going to pick three I find interesting and share what actually it reminds me about launching new products and services. The first is in the capital city of Brazil -- Brasilia. And it reminds me that sometimes, you have to just focus on designing for a real need at low friction. Now, Brasilia is fascinating. It was designed by Niemeyer in the '50s. It was the golden age of flying, so he laid it out like a plane, as you can see there. Slightly worryingly, he put most of the important government buildings in the cockpit. But if you zoom in, in the very center of Brasilia, just where the point is there, you see it's littered with desire paths. They're absolutely everywhere. Now, they thought that they had future-proofed this design. They thought in the future we wouldn't need to walk anywhere -- we'd be able to drive -- so there was little need for walkways or pavements. But as you can see, there's a real need. These are very dangerous desire paths. If we just pick one, in the middle, you can see it crosses 15 lanes of traffic. It won't surprise you guys that Brasilia has five times the pedestrian accident rate of your average US city. People are resourceful. They'll always find the low-friction route to save money, save time. Not all these desire paths are dangerous, I was reminded flying here when I was in Heathrow. Many of us get frustrated when we're confronted with the obligatory walk through duty-free. It was amazing to me how many people refused to take the long, meandering path to the left, and just cut through to the right, cut through the desire path. The question that's interesting is: What do designers think when they see our behavior here? Do they think we're stupid? Do they think we're lazy? Or do they accept that this is the only truth? This is their product. We're effectively co-designing their product. So our job is to design for real needs at low friction, because if you don't, the customer will, anyway. The second desire path I wanted to share is at the University of California. And it reminds me that sometimes the best way to come up with a great design is just to launch it. Now, university campuses are fantastic for spotting desire paths. I think it's because students are always late and they're pretty smart. So they're dashing to lectures. They'll always find the shortcut. And the designers here knew that. So they built the buildings and then they waited a few months for the paths to form. They then paved them. (Laughter) Incredibly smart approach. In fact, often, just launching the straw man of a service can teach you what people really want. For example, Ayr Muir in Boston knew he wanted to open a restaurant. But where should it be? What should the menu be? He launched a service, in this case a food truck, and he changed the location each day. He'd write a different menu on the side in a whiteboard marker to figure out what people wanted. He now has a chain of restaurants. So it can be incredibly efficient to launch something to spot the desire paths. The third and final desire path I wanted to share with you is the UNIH. It reminds me that the world's in flux, and we have to respond to those changes. So as you'll guess, this is a hospital. I've marked for you on the left the Oncology Department. The patients would usually stay in the hotels down on the bottom right. This was a patient-centered organization, so they laid on cars for their patients. But what they realized when they started offering chemotherapy is the patients rarely wanted to get in cars. They were too nauseous, so they'd walk back to their hotels. This desire path that you see diagonally, formed. The patients even called it "The Chemo Trail." Now, when the hospital saw this originally, they tried to lay turf back over it, ignore it. But after a while, they realized it was an important need they were meeting for their patients, so they paved it. And I think our job is often to pave these emerging desire paths. If we look back at the one in North London again, that desire path hasn't always been there. The reason it sprung up is people were traveling to the mighty Arsenal Football Club stadium on game days, from the Underground station you see on the bottom right. So you see the desire path. If we just wind the clock back a few years, when the stadium was being constructed, there is no desire path. So our job is to watch for these desire paths emerging, and, where appropriate, pave them, as someone did here. Someone installed a barrier, people started walking across and round the bottom as you see, and they paved it. (Laughter) But I think this is a wonderful reminder as well, that, actually, the world is in flux. It's constantly changing, because if you look at the top of this image, there's another desire path forming. So these three desire paths remind me we need to design for real human needs. I think empathy for what your customers want is probably the biggest leading indicator of business success. Design for real needs and design them in low friction, because if you don't offer them in low friction, someone else will, often the customer. Secondly, often the best way to learn what people really want is to launch your service. The answer is rarely inside the building. Get out there and see what people really want. And finally, in part because of technology, the world is incredibly flux at the moment. It's changing constantly. These desire paths are going to spring up faster than ever. Our job is to pick the appropriate ones and pave over them. Thank you very much. (Applause) | 0 | 1 | 0 |

Title:
Effect of aripiprazole on verbal memory and fluency in schizophrenic patients : results from the ESCAPE study.
Abstract:
Second-generation antipsychotics have gradually replaced first-generation antipsychotics as first-line treatment for patients with schizophrenia. Some positive effects on verbal cognition have been shown for the second-generation antipsychotics, but most studies are based on relatively small numbers of patients.
In the frame of the prospective, multi-centre, open-label study ESCAPE (A Prospective, Multicenter, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and the Effect on Cognitive Function of a Treatment With Aripiprazole in a Broad Range of Schizophrenic Patients; clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT00329810) evaluating the effectiveness and effect on cognitive functioning of aripiprazole in schizophrenic patients, we conducted a post hoc analysis to examine changes in verbal cognition and investigate the predictive value of a cognitive improvement on quality of life.
This was a prospective, multi-centre, non-comparative, open-label study of aripiprazole in schizophrenic patients. At study enrolment, these patients were being treated with various first- or second-generation antipsychotics or were without previous antipsychotic treatment. On entering the study, all patients were treated with aripiprazole (Abilify(®); Otsuka, Tokyo, Japan) monotherapy; those patients who had received prior treatment with antipsychotics had their current drug(s) tapered off over a 2-week period. A post hoc analysis of the effect of aripiprazole on two verbal cognitive measures and their correlation with efficacy measures and quality of life was conducted.
Patients with schizophrenia were recruited in 56 psychiatric hospitals.
A total of 361 patients with schizophrenia, ranging from 18 to 65 years, entered the study.
Patients were treated with aripiprazole monotherapy at a dosage of 10-30 mg/day. Those who were receiving first- or second-generation antipsychotics at enrolment were switched to aripiprazole monotherapy by tapering off their current drug(s) over a 2-week period.
Physician- and patient-rated parameters were measured to gain a complete view of the effectiveness of aripiprazole on the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Q-LES-Q) at baseline and at weeks 4, 8 and 12 and on the Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness (CGI-S) scale at baseline and at weeks 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12. A secondary endpoint of verbal cognitive function was measured by the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) and the Verbal Fluency (VF) test at baseline and at weeks 4 and 12. The hypothesis of an improvement in verbal cognition and its predictive value on the quality of life was formulated during data collection.
238 patients completed the study. A significant improvement in verbal cognition was observed from week 4 with the long term free recall (LTFR) in the CVLT over the scheduled visits in the trial (F(2,519) = 29.67, p < 0.0001). For the phonemic (letter) subtest of the VF test, patients scored significantly better at week 12 in comparison with baseline (F(2,519) = 3.57, p = 0.0289). There was no significant effect on the semantic (categories) subtest of the VF test (F(2,518) = 0.57, p = 0.5614). Improvement in CGI-S scores at a particular moment in time predicted improvement in LTFR scores at that same moment (F(1,519) = 38.38, p < 0.0001) and in the phonemic (F(1,519) = 42.77, p < 0.0001) and semantic (F(1,518) = 67.43, p < 0.0001) subtests of the VF test. Similarly, CGI-S score improvement globally predicted quality-of-life improvement over visits. The Q-LES-Q scales leisure (F(1,144) = 14.03, p < 0.0001) and social relations (F(1,469) = 5.28, p = 0.0220) also directly correlated with verbal cognition.
The findings suggest that switching to, or initiating aripiprazole in schizophrenic patients results in improvement in verbal cognitive functioning. The observed improvement on quality of life is explained by the effect of aripiprazole on the CGI-S score, though the leisure and social relations scales of the Q-LES-Q also independently correlated with verbal fluency. Randomized, controlled, clinical trials of this effect of aripiprazole for selected patients are needed. | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Title:
Quantitative exponential modelling of copycat suicides: association with mass media effect in South Korea.
Abstract:
There is ample evidence media reporting of celebrity suicides increases copycat suicides. This study had three aims: (a) to quantitatively examine copycat suicides with exponential modelling that predicts the copycat suicide effect of South Korean celebrity suicides; (b) to investigate the association between media effect and subsequent suicides following celebrity deaths; and (c) to investigate the extent in which media influences the increase and rate of decline of copycat suicides following a celebrity suicide.
All suicides during 1991-2010 in South Korea were included in this study utilising a nationwide database. Fifteen celebrities were selected based on the frequency of media reports following 1 week after their suicide. The media effect was obtained through the Korean Integrated Newspaper Database System. Exponential curve fits and correlation analyses investigated the quantitative effect of copycat suicides.
After controlling for baseline number of average suicides, there was a marked increase in the number of suicides following each celebrity suicides, which followed an exponential model. There was a significant correlation between the total number of copycat suicides and number of media following the celebrity suicide (r = 0.74, p < 0.01). There were weak-to-moderate correlations between the amplitude of increase in suicides (r = 0.45, p = 0.09) and rate of decline (r = 0.38, p = 0.16) with the total number of media coverage.
Copycat suicides following celebrity suicides follow exponential modelling. Additionally, there is a strong media effect between the number of media reports following the days after celebrity suicides and subsequent copycat suicides. This may also be associated with the amplitude and rate of decline of copycat suicides. This suggests that improving media reporting and implementing preventative interventions for vulnerable populations may be important. | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Title:
Assessing the temperature dependence of narrow-band Raman water vapor lidar measurements: a practical approach.
Abstract:
Narrow-band detection of the Raman water vapor spectrum using the lidar technique introduces a concern over the temperature dependence of the Raman spectrum. Various groups have addressed this issue either by trying to minimize the temperature dependence to the point where it can be ignored or by correcting for whatever degree of temperature dependence exists. The traditional technique for performing either of these entails accurately measuring both the laser output wavelength and the water vapor spectral passband with combined uncertainty of approximately 0.01 nm. However, uncertainty in interference filter center wavelengths and laser output wavelengths can be this large or larger. These combined uncertainties translate into uncertainties in the magnitude of the temperature dependence of the Raman lidar water vapor measurement of 3% or more. We present here an alternate approach for accurately determining the temperature dependence of the Raman lidar water vapor measurement. This alternate approach entails acquiring sequential atmospheric profiles using the lidar while scanning the channel passband across portions of the Raman water vapor Q-branch. This scanning is accomplished either by tilt-tuning an interference filter or by scanning the output of a spectrometer. Through this process a peak in the transmitted intensity can be discerned in a manner that defines the spectral location of the channel passband with respect to the laser output wavelength to much higher accuracy than that achieved with standard laboratory techniques. Given the peak of the water vapor signal intensity curve, determined using the techniques described here, and an approximate knowledge of atmospheric temperature, the temperature dependence of a given Raman lidar profile can be determined with accuracy of 0.5% or better. A Mathematica notebook that demonstrates the calculations used here is available from the lead author. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

Fracking for Clean Energy (wait, what?)
Gonna do a quick rundown for you about renewable concepts that you kind of seemed not to know no offense though. So the reason we're not already using more solar and wind is intermittence. It's cheaper in raw terms than fossils already but usually taps out in actual utilization at 15% of demand met in literally any environment without grid storage. Battery tech is limited by the availability of lithium RN, but at least one Chinese company has made a comparable cost per kwh of storage sodium chemistry so there's lots of hope for that huge upswing in renewable usage after this next like 3 decades minimum of building and perfecting those and maybe something but not likely anything else. Geothermal can directly replace coal. EVs directly replace gas with coal. Solar and wind only replace coal with cheap batteries and the lithium ones are better suited and needed for cars. So geothermal now is 3 less decades of coal and no needed batteries. The thing that batteries have over geothermal is that electricity generation is draining our water supply like almost everywhere so unless they condense the steam after its driven the turbine we may skip it just to keep the water. So yeah the conclusions right, but I wanted you to know why exactly bc it's like you thought we could just make car batteries power our homes or something or that we're just being lazy about building enough panels or something. And I don't mean to come off condescending I'm actually pretty sure you knew most of this. Fun idea though to make the geothermal work and produce fresh water just drill from the ocean and pump salty water into the ground and then voila steam then fresh water then like fruit from California is sustainable again. Boom drought solved thank me later. | 1 | 0 | 0 |
In 1917, doctors proposed an outlandish treatment for syphilis, the incurable bacterial infection that had ravaged Europe for centuries. Step 1: Infect patients suffering from the later stages of syphilis with the parasite that causes malaria, the deadly but curable mosquito-borne disease. Step 2: Hope that malarial fevers clear the syphilis. And step 3: Administer quinine to curb the malaria. If all went according to plan, their patient would be left alive and free of both diseases. This killed some 15% of patients, but for those who survived, it seemed to work. It actually became the standard treatment for syphilis until penicillin was widely used decades later. And its driving force was fever. There are many mysteries around fever, but what we do know is that all mammals, some birds and even a few invertebrate and plant species feel fever’s heat. It has persisted for over 600 million years of evolution. But it has a significant cost. For every 1 degree Celsius of temperature increase in the human body, there’s a 12.5 percent increase in energy required, the equivalent of about 20 minutes of jogging for some. So, why and how does your body produce a fever? Your core temperature is maintained via thermoregulation, a set of processes that usually keep you around 37 degrees Celsius. These mechanisms are controlled by the brain’s hypothalamus, which detects minute temperature shifts and sends signals throughout the body accordingly. If you’re too hot, the hypothalamus produces signals that activate your sweat glands or make your blood vessels dilate, moving blood closer to the skin’s surface— all of which releases heat and cools you off. And if you’re too cold, your blood vessels will constrict and you may start to shiver, which generates heat. Your body will disrupt its usual temperature equilibrium to induce a fever, which sets in above 38 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, it has mechanisms in place to prevent it from exceeding 41 degrees Celsius, when organ damage could occur. Immune cells that are fighting an infection can induce a fever by triggering a biochemical cascade that ultimately instructs your hypothalamus to increase your baseline temperature. Your body then gets to work to meet its new “set point” using the mechanisms it would to generate heat when cold. Until it reaches this new temperature, you’ll feel comparatively cool, which is why you might experience chills. But why does your body do this? While the jury's still out on how higher temperatures directly affect pathogens, it seems that fever's main effect is in rapidly inducing a whole-body immune response. Upon exposure to raised internal temperatures, some of your cells release heat shock proteins, or HSPs, a family of molecules produced in response to stressful conditions. These proteins aid lymphocytes, one of several kinds of white blood cells that fight pathogens, to travel more rapidly to infection sites. HSPs do this by enhancing the “stickiness” of lymphocytes, enabling them to adhere to and squeeze through blood vessel walls so they can reach the areas where infection is raging. In the case of viral infections, HSPs help tell nearby cells to dampen their protein production, which limits their ability to replicate. This stunts the virus’s spread because they depend on their host’s replicative machinery to reproduce. It also protects surrounding cells from damage since some viruses spread by rupturing their host cells, which can lead to large-scale destruction, the build-up of detritus, and potentially even organ damage. The ability of HSPs to protect host cells and enhance immune activity can limit the pathogen’s path of destruction inside of the body. But for all we know about fever’s role in immune activation, some clinical trials have shown that fever suppressor drugs don’t worsen symptoms or recovery rates. This is why there’s no definitive rule on whether to suppress a fever or let it ride. Doctors decide on a case-by-case basis. The fever’s duration and intensity, as well as their patient’s immune status, comfort level, and age will all play a role in their choice of treatments. And if they do let a fever ride, they’ll likely prescribe rest and plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration while the body wages its heated battle. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

So im a 27 yr old guy and lately i have been doing some self reflection to understand who i am and the issues that cause me to have so much disappointment and doubt in myself. I didn't have the best up bringing but deffinately not the worst. Love and communication were absent in my family house hold. I knew my mother and father loved me in the only way they understood being from broken home with no or limited examples of love also. Im constantly disappointing myself between my impulsive actions and lack of motivation or tools to confront my issues that have me feeling lost or trapped. I'm not blaming anyone for my issues or past actions.. I hate i didn't have a better chance but i see people all the time with similar or worse situations and watch them succeed in life in ways i envy. I just feel weak/lost/incapable because i haven't figured it out quite like the others. All i have done is survive while others became fighters and grew in life. I know i should probably seek professional help but i more in less wanted to hear others experience and the tools they've developed to become a strong adult with the tools to succeed and truly tackle the problems and and actually move forward. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

### 7 Things to Consider When Choosing the Best Laundry Service for You
### A Guide to Dry Cleaning and Finding a Reputable Local Dry Cleaner
## Frequently asked questions
When will I receive my dry cleaning bags?
We offer two different services, dry cleaning and wash and fold laundry. Depending on the type of service that you select, you will receive a black bag for dry cleaning and a purple bag for wash and fold laundry. Your first order will return clean in the respective Press branded bag.
How is Press different from the local dry cleaner near me?
Press provides a modern approach to dry cleaning by providing an on-demand style of service, much like you've come to know and love from services like Uber or Lyft (but for laundry!). Unlike traditional dry cleaning delivery routes, which run set schedules once or twice a week, we provide an on-demand same-day pickup service with quick turnaround times.
We want to work around your schedule, not get in the way of it. To view available pick up times, simply make an account, pick up a service, and view the available times in the "Schedule a Pickup" area.
Why do you only offer pickup and delivery?
We think that your time, energy and gas is more valuable than extending your daily commute or wasting a Saturday washing, drying and folding laundry. So we've created a way to have all your laundry and dry cleaning related chores handled without ever leaving your couch.
Time is a fleeting resource and we think you should spend more of it doing what you really want to do, and laundry isn't one of them. So say yes to more time with family, reading that book you've been meaning to pick up, or maybe getting a little extra sleep for once.
When are pick up and deliveries? Do I need to be home?
We pick up and deliver orders 7 days a week, excluding some holidays. You don't need to be home during the pick up and delivery windows, just make sure that you state your preferred pick up location in your order details.
Typical pick up and delivery spots for homeowners are front porches, while apartment/condo owners have the ability to leave it on their front doorstep or with their doorman or front desk.
Deliveries are made within 24 to 48 hours of pick up, depending on the time you select during your order. To view availability, simply create an account and begin scheduling a pickup.

Unprofessional Conduct & Bad Service
I joined Bonitas Medical Aid last year 01 December 2015. I did not know that their medical aid was a membership in advance medical aid. In January this year I was advised by my HR that they want to deduct R7911 because of this membership in advance scheme rule, I immediately tried to reach them to make an arrangement. Eventually my HR was able to find them. We made an arrangement that I paid R 5411.00 for 3 months til the 15 March 2016. To my utter surprise, Bonitas deducted the whole amount of R7911 in Feb 16 as if I had not made an arrangement. This put me in such financial distress as it was a day before my salary was paid out so there was nothing my HR could do. I immediately contacted Bonitas to process a refund on the 15 February 2016. Zandile Methula advised me that the refund could only be processed after reconciliation had been done. I have been waiting since then for them to process a refund. I find this highly unacceptable because Zandile communicated to me on the 08 March 2016 that they are going to process my refund but todate I have not received the said refund. I want my refund and I want to cancel my membership due to consistent bad service received. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Title:
Design of coherent receiver optical front end for unamplified applications.
Abstract:
Advanced modulation schemes together with coherent detection and digital signal processing has enabled the next generation high-bandwidth optical communication systems. One of the key advantages of coherent detection is its superior receiver sensitivity compared to direct detection receivers due to the gain provided by the local oscillator (LO). In unamplified applications, such as metro and edge networks, the ultimate receiver sensitivity is dictated by the amount of shot noise, thermal noise, and the residual beating of the local oscillator with relative intensity noise (LO-RIN). We show that the best sensitivity is achieved when the thermal noise is balanced with the residual LO-RIN beat noise, which results in an optimum LO power. The impact of thermal noise from the transimpedance amplifier (TIA), the RIN from the LO, and the common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) from a balanced photodiode are individually analyzed via analytical models and compared to numerical simulations. The analytical model results match well with those of the numerical simulations, providing a simplified method to quantify the impact of receiver design tradeoffs. For a practical 100 Gb/s integrated coherent receiver with 7% FEC overhead, we show that an optimum receiver sensitivity of -33 dBm can be achieved at GFEC cliff of 8.55E-5 if the LO power is optimized at 11 dBm. We also discuss a potential method to monitor the imperfections of a balanced and integrated coherent receiver. | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Hi Hacker News! We’re Danny, Shivam, David, and Brian from Bristle We’re developing an at-home saliva test to detect the earliest signs of cavities and gum disease - then provide evidence-based recommendations and treatments to help prevent them.Cavities and gum disease are driven by infectious microbes, but today’s dental care only detects the damage they already caused. X-rays and observational screenings detect tooth decay and bleeding gums, which are symptoms, not causes. By the time they are detected, they’ve often become serious issues that require the invasive procedures we all dread - fillings and root canals. We end up spending billions of dollars reactively treating diseases that can largely be prevented with good oral health management.About us:
Our backgrounds are on the research and commercial side of genomics. We have witnessed the rapid adoption and implementation of new technologies in healthcare enable remote monitoring of symptoms, early detection of disease, virtual care delivery, and new generations of therapeutics. Meanwhile, we have people like my co-founder Brian, who constantly face cavities despite great oral hygiene (good job, Brian) and get the same advice as everyone else.Technologies like genomic sequencing and wearables are being applied to important areas in healthcare including oncology, rare disease, and NIPT - but aren't being used for the ones (literally) right beneath our nose. A lot of oral diseases start and progress from a build-up of specific acid-releasing or disease-causing bacteria. Working in genomics, we knew the technology existed to detect these pathogenic microbes at the earliest stages, when they were most treatable.About our test:
Like other DNA tests (think Color Genomics, Ancestry, etc.), our test can be taken from home and only requires a saliva sample. Unlike most DNA tests that look at your personal genome (the collection of your genes), we analyze the oral microbiome: the community of microbes (bacteria, fungi, and viruses) living in your mouth. Imbalance between pathogenic and beneficial microbes can contribute to your risk of oral disease or signal systemic conditions. Decades of research have shown causal relationships between the oral microbiome and preventable gum disease.Most microbiome companies use a method called 16s, which only provides the identification and relative abundance of bacteria at low resolution (often only genus-level). We use shotgun metagenomics to identify and quantify all of the microbes in your mouth including viruses, bacteria (over 150 on average), and fungi. Our test sequences the whole genome of the microbes providing information like functional profiling and higher resolution at the strain-level. This means higher sensitivity and specificity while providing the kind of data needed to develop better oral care products and therapeutics in the future.Oral health tends to be overlooked, but is an important component of overall health with deep connections to the rest of the body. Research has been unveiling links between oral health and the risk or presence of systemic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s (I'll include some links about this below). One of the more exciting things we'll be able to do as we grow our database is look for oral microbiome signatures related to other diseases. Such analysis will only be done on de-identified data, and only go towards the goal of improving health.Our assay will inevitably pick up some of your genome - it’s impossible to completely avoid. But our analysis only looks at the microbes from your sample and we filter out human genome data from downstream analysis. There are some interesting genomic markers we eventually would like to investigate (read about some here: but for now we only look at microbial data and will obtain consent before analyzing anything else.About our projects:
We are currently running a clinical research study with a leading dental school clinic, and will be bringing the test through clinical validation over the coming months. In the meantime, we’re offering a research version of our test to consumers through an early access program. This program provides an exploratory (non-diagnostic) lens into your oral microbiome, including information on your unique oral microbiome profile and how it relates to health conditions based on current research. The test is $50, but we won’t charge until you’re accepted off the waitlist and we are ready to send your kit. Right now we only ship in the US. If you’re outside of the US you can register at the bottom of our homepage to stay updated with our newsletter and be notified as we expand. is obviously a critical component of all this, and a top priority for us. We are determined to get it right from the ground up. Although we are not a HIPAA covered entity, we maintain a HIPAA compliant infrastructure. In the future, we believe that companies like ours may fall under a HIPAA designation. Operating that way today is our way of preparing for this. Most importantly, it protects your data. We will publish our data protection protocols on our website soon.We believe we have a real opportunity to change the standard of care in oral health. We hope to expand access to patients and users, and give providers a new tool to help treat disease. We look forward to your feedback and questions - so please reach out or leave us a comment!Thanks everyone,

As the construction industry faces increased pressures to act in a more socially responsible way, the concept of "supplier diversity" is one of several topics that have found its way to the corporate social responsibility agenda. Often seen as a strand of the notion of ethical sourcing, the supplier diversity debate relates to the issue of promoting greater diversity in the supply chain by providing opportunities for traditionally under-represented suppliers to engage with large purchasing organisations. This thesis is an account of the final stage of a wider exploratory study assessing whether there is a business case for supplier diversity in the construction housing sector. Utilising an in-depth interview approach, it focuses on the merits of the "business case" for supplier diversity from the perspective of the minority business owner operating as a contractor (typically a small firm), in the construction housing sector. The research evidence presented stimulates a discussion about some very sensitive yet serious issues with the aim being to crystallise and create greater awareness of the business case for supplier diversity in the construction housing sector | 1 | 0 | 0 |

SARS IS A SINKING ****** MESS OF A SHIP!
I have recieved a letter from SARS stating that I must update my banking details on e-filing. As per their call-centre request I also got the instruction to send my doducments to their Contactus email. That email is bouncing back all the time as the inbox is full. So I tried uploading my details again on e filing did that and then tried calling them. What a nightmare! You have to wait at least one hour to get through. As for a callback and they do not know where to go and have a look or what to do. Ask for help in regards to the documentation they do not know. They constantly remind you of "we work from home" as if that is an excuse. We all work from home. Then you try and send the email again- bounce bounce bounce. Then they want to rewfer you to make an appointment. First appointment date available in three weeks only. Then you ask them for the Witbank SARS branch number - nope no can do. Then you send your documents again. It goes through and you try and call and follow up on your payment. No answer. Then they tell you go into the branch. Well I cant because it is 180 kilos away from me. I need to at least know if it will be worth my while. Tey give you reference numbers. Then they say but that refertence number is for VAT. I am not VAT I am normal PAYE. Then they give you more numbers (I am at number 8 now) then you upload your documents to e-filing and they dont know what to do when you speak to them. "Oh yes we can see it is uploaded but we do not know what will happen next. Then you as when will I be paid. No it must be verified. Okay so you send all your verified douments again. You call again ask for a call back. Two hours later the phone rings. Okay security check again. Okay now you ask have you reieved my documents ? "Yes" they answer. Ojkay now what when will I be paid. "We dont know" then can you escelate the problem. "Nooooo" they say. Why not? "No we work from home" - Okay so can I conta t a manger "Nooo" they say again. I ask so what will happen now... Will I get my money - "We don't know Sir" they answer. Lastly you send an email to the complaints line. - An automatedresponse comes back. - You wait a few days still no reply. You wait another week - no reply - you wait another month - no reply. you call again and again and again and again. nobody can hep you. You make another appointment " She speaks like this "Jaaaa ne!!!!" she is "tuning" you. She is arrogant. You keep your calm and try and ask for help. "No I cannot help you sir, I can only ask you call ********** and ask option 2. Then you tell her but they said I must call you on option 0 then she sais no you must do that. then you ask why She sais "I dont know Sir we are working from home" WHAMMMM you are back at square one as the email you sent bounced back again three hours later as their inbox is full. You contimplate and think where has this country gone to.how did we get ourselves in this dumbfound situation. How can people be like that? How can they try and help but they make excuses all day long. How must they feel at night when they close their eyes. Do they anticipate telling people tomorrow again " We dont know" or "We work from home" as an excuse. I cannot imagine a worst scenario. Staff that annot help. Senior managers that do not grab a problem situation and sort it out. People sitting at home and making excuses. Tax payers getting apointments in three weeks from now. I simply am frustrated to the bone. My core wants to puke when I just think of this horrible situation. I cannot get my money from SARS. Nobody is listening to me and nobody is doing anything about my case. They do not react. They do not care and they do not think it important to help. Only one person called Lesedi was able to help. Thank you Lesedi. I wish I can speak to you again as you knew what to do. I cannot though as the system puts me through to the one say " Jaaaaaah neeee" - I need help SARS HELP ME PLEASE!!! I HAVE UPLOADED MY DOCUMENTS IT IS ON MY PROFILE ********** Look people look! Do my refund it is my money! The money was paid over on my old tax number now I have a new one it is still my money and I want it t be paid. Can you please call me and sorty this out. Look on e-filing al my documets are now on there. Bankacc, ID proof of bank, proof of address, selfie everything! Call me SARS my Cell is ********** PLEASE CALL MEor mail me *********** PLEASE HELP. | 0 | 1 | 0 |

Title:
Assessment of the heterogeneous ruminal fiber pool and development of a mathematical approach for predicting the mean retention time of feeds in goats.
Abstract:
The objectives of this study were to evaluate ruminal fiber stratification and to develop a mathematical approach for predicting the mean retention time (MRT) of forage and concentrates in goats. A dataset from 3 studies was used that contained information regarding fiber and lignin intake as well as ruminal content and the kinetics of fiber passage for forage and concentrates. The kinetic information was obtained through pulse dose and the fecal concentration measurement of forage and concentrate markers in the same animals that were used to measure ruminal content. The evaluation of heterogeneous fiber pools in the rumen was performed using the Lucas' test assumptions, and the marker excretion profiles were interpreted using a model known in the literature as GNG1. The GNG1 model assumes an age-dependent fractional rate for the transfer of particles from the raft to the escapable pool in the rumen (λ(r); h(-1)) and an age-independent fractional rate for the escape of particles from the escapable pool to the remaining parts of the stomach (k(e); h(-1)). The equations used to predict the MRT for forage and concentrate fiber were developed using stepwise regression. A sensitivity analysis was conducted using a Monte Carlo simulation to investigate the relationships between the dependent and independent variables and between forage and concentrate passage rates. The Lucas' test yields goodness-of-fit estimates for NDF analysis; however, the homogeneous fiber pool approach could not be applied because a positive intercept (P < 0.05) was identified for lignin ruminal content. The stepwise regression model for MRT estimation had an approximate coefficient of determination and a root mean square error (RMSE) for forage of 0.53 and 9.78 h, respectively, and for concentrate of 0.49 and 5.86 h, respectively. The sensitivity analysis yielded a mean rate of passage (k(p)) value for forage of 0.0322 h(-1) (0.0158 to 0.0556 h(-1)) with 99% confidence interval. For the concentrate, the mean k(p) value was of 0.0334 h(-1) (0.0146 to 0.0570 h(-1)). A heterogeneous ruminal fiber pool should be assumed for goats fed diets with considerable fiber contents. The results of the sensitivity analysis indicated that both λ(r) and k(e) are of similar importance to the rate of passage in goats. The rates of passage of forage and concentrates in goats present a high degree of overlap and are closely related. | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Whatza Culvers?
I drove by this place as it was being built; didn't know what it was, but "butterburger" and "frozen yogurt" caught my eye..... so I decided to visit it on 2011-05-30 (dine-in). Looks like it just opened, and it was busy.
Turns out this place is a fast-food chain based out of Wisconsin that I had never heard of before... kind of like a cross between an In-and-Out and a Dairy Queen. Menu is a bit daunting the first time - a burger or a sandwich? what side? smoothies, or regular drinks? You walk up to the counter, place your order, take your number to your table, and they deliver your order to your table when it's ready.
The burger patties are different... they're about 1/8" thick and seem pressed/fried. The buns are nice and soft... ingredients are fresh or properly cooked. Flavors are there... but it is a different style burger than what we're used to seeing. I tried the cheese curds; just wish they hadn't breaded/deep-fried them. I like my curds natural. A fountain drink completes the "value basket" deal.
Their frozen yogurt or "concrete mix" sealed the deal.... we tried the banana split (nice) and their "brownie cookie dough". Kinda hard to screw up frozen yogurt! yum!
Okay, so I now know what a Culvers is. It's a good change-of-pace from the other fast food chains. Not sure I'd go out of my way just to come here (unless I'm really in the mood for it). I'll have to try other items, but for now, its a 3 star rating. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

I seriously need some help, I hope it's ok to post
here! I’m holding a virtual event that will be live-hosted (by me), where we will share four individual, pre-recorded dance films, and hopefully have a live Q+A with the choreographers afterward. I have three things I’m looking for:BEAUTY. The subject of the show is dreams, all of these dances are inspired by dreams. Because that's such a visually rich topic, I really want to be able to aesthetically curate the online experience -- so somehow, people don’t just land on a sterile online event page, but something more visually engaging that could frame the dance films. I’d like to be able to make the online experience colorful and textured, but in my preliminary research I haven’t found any platform that could accommodate this. If there’s some kind of other tab/area in the platform where I could share images or drawings, I think that could work too. (Wishing for something more aesthetic than the black squares on zoom.)INTERACTION. Of course for the Q+A aspect, it would be great to be able to have some video chat element in the service. The choreographers will be tuning in from separate locations. That said, I don’t think each audience member needs to appear on video. If there was a chat feature that would be amazing too, so the audience could “applaud” and discuss the films.PRICE. I can’t spend more than a couple hundred right now, 500 at the very most. Unfortunate but true.

Hydrogen vs. Battery Electric Cars
With the battery being more efficient and the fuel cell being more convenient and having more range, sounds like it might be worth evaluating the idea of a hybrid car which has hydrogen fuel cell + battery instead of internal combustion engine + battery. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

Can You Solve this Ice Diamond Riddle? ft. Vsauce’s Michael Stevens
The water level will go down.
Explanation: to simplify let's imagine that the diamond is suspended under the ice cube instead of being inside and the void inside is filled with water. To convince yourself that this is equivalent imagine a boat with a load inside. If you move the load under the boat and suspend it then the boat goes up because now there's some extra lift (equivalent to the weight of water of the volume of the load). So if you add the volume of water equal to the volume of the load inside then the boat goes back to its initial position.
Now back to the diamond. Now the diamond is not suspended anymore and sinks. The ice cube can go up a bit because it doesn't have to provide lift for the diamond. The diamond that was already completely in water doesn't change anything. Conclusion the ice cube goes up and the water level goes down.
Finally the ice cube melts and that doesn't change anything.
So: level goes down. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

In addition to floorplan financing, AFC also provides independent used vehicle dealers with other related services and products, such as vehicle service contracts. Potential Spin-off of IAA In February 2018, the Company announced that its board of directors had approved a plan to pursue the separation of its salvage auction business, currently operated by IAA, through a spin-off. The Company also announced that the separation was subject to customary regulatory approvals, the execution of intercompany agreements between the Company and the new salvage auction company ("IAA Spinco"), final approval of the board of directors and other customary matters. The Company expects to complete the spin-off in 2019. The Company may, at any time and for any reason until the proposed transaction is complete, abandon, modify or change the terms of the spin-off. There can be no assurance as to whether or when the spin-off will occur. IAA Spinco filed its initial Registration Statement on Form 10 on June 28, 2018, Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statement on Form 10 on August 30, 2018 and Amendment No. 2 to its Registration Statement on Form 10 on November 20, 2018. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
How y'all doing? Good. I came here to give you a science lesson about animal mating systems and why defining monogamy has been a challenge for scientists. But you won't need a textbook or to download an online lecture. All you'll simply need to do is revisit the song "OPP" by Naughty by Nature. (Laughter) It was released in 1991. Now, "OPP" is a call-and-response song. So throughout the talk, I'm going to put lyrics up on the screen, and I'm going to recite some and I'm going to prompt you when it's your turn to do the response, OK? (Cheers) Now, I know some people in this audience know this song, so I need you to lead the way with the tempo and the rhythm, if that's alright, OK? Right, y'all ready? You down with OPP? Audience: Yeah, you know me! DNL: You down with OPP? Audience: Yeah, you know me! DNL: You down with OPP? Audience: Yeah, you know me! DNL: That was perfect. Thank you. "OPP, how can I explain it? I'll take it frame by frame it. To have y'all jumping shout and singing it O is for other, P is for people. scratch your temple. The last P, well, that's not that simple." Now, in the song, the MC hints that it's a five-letter word, but to keep it rated PG, he simply refers to it as "property." (Laughter) The song is about cheating on your significant other. Now, around the time that this song was in heavy rotation, biologists were in deep discussion about whether bird species, notably songbirds and waterfowl were actually monogamous or not. See, for decades, generations of science students were taught that well over 90 percent of the bird species were monogamous. A male and female mating faithfully for life. That was until the late 1980s, when a new laboratory technique came on the scene, which could copy DNA from a small tissue or fluid sample and decode the genetics of individuals. Now, before that technique, we were never ever certain about, 100 percent, who the parents of baby birds were. All we had were our field notes. And we would know which adults lived in a nest and which ones fed the baby birds. Well, come to find out, study after study kept coming in and we found so much evidence of infidelity -- (Laughter) among bird species, particularly these songbirds that we thought were the pinnacle of monogamy. It would have made Maury Povich jealous for the ratings. (Laughter) It rocked biology and ornithology so hard, we had to modify and expand the entire definition of monogamy. Now, it was so bad that this was the headline of the "New York Times" science section, August, 1990. "Mating for Life? It's not for the Birds or the Bees." (Laughter) We had to come up with new definitions. The situation where an individual would change partners, either between breeding seasons or just simply because they didn't like their partner anymore? We now call this "serial monogamy." (Laughter) I didn't know it was going to be this funny. (Laughter) The situation where we know the male and female pair together and all the babies belong to both partners? We call that "genetic monogamy." And we now recognize that it only holds true for about 14 percent of the songbird species, which we were very certain were truly monogamous. And with this reclassification, we realized that in a lot of those field observations where we saw a male and female sharing a nest, comaintaining a territory, even provisioning offspring together, often included a few baby birds that did not belong to the male partner. We call this "social monogamy." (Laughter) And the mechanism responsible? Extra-pair copulation. "It's OPP, time for other people's what you get it there's no room for relationship, there's just room to ..." Audience: "Hit it!" "How many brothers out there know just what I'm getting at? Who thinks it's wrong because I was splitting and cohitting that. Well if you do, that's OPP" Actually, that's EPC Which is the abbreviation for extra-pair copulation. (Laughter) Now, we define extra-pair copulation as the mating outside of a pair bond. And just like we were discovering via science, it can lead to babies that don't belong to the male partner. Alright? Now, I first learned about EPCs years later, after all the science news broke while I was in graduate school. And as we were taking a class, talking about current discoveries and mating systems, this topic comes up. And as my professor's going through the definition and recounting all the dramatic turns of events that lead to these new revelations, I'm sitting in class and a familiar song starts bopping in my head. I'm like, "You down with OPP? Yeah, you know me!" (Laughter) I mean, that's exactly what that song was about: EPCs. And what I recognized is that this gives us an opportunity to revisit this song. Let's switch the lyrics up. So say EPC. Audience: EPC. DNL: Say it, EPC! Audience: EPC! "I like to say it with pride now, when you do it, do it well, and make sure that it counts. You're not down with a discount." You down with EPC? Audience: Yeah, you know me! Now, I had always been playing songs in my head while I was in science class, kind of tapping into this index of pop culture and hip-hop songs. But when I would share my analogies with my science professors, all of whom were older white men, I often got blank and confused stares as responses. (Laughter) But when I would share this with people from communities like mine, or other colleagues -- so, diverse communities -- this hip-hop science remix was a hit. That's because I was either talking to people who looked and sounded like me, or at the very least, you know, listened to some of the same songs. We were sharing a common cultural lexicon. And with that lexicon, I was able to bring new science terms to them, and together, we were sharing a new comprehension of science for the culture. Now, hip-hop song references are a really good tool for teaching content to students from hip-hop culture or urban communities. And I use it intentionally to connect to those students, tapping into vocabulary that they already know and systems that they already comprehend. And what it does in that process is it ratifies them, us, our culture as knowledge purveyors. I use hip-hop to frame and communicate science because I'm intentionally communicating science to broader audiences that public science outreach has traditionally overlooked. And in the process, I am affirming the genius that thrives in the young minds of people from every hood everywhere. So let me ask you one last time, you down with EPC? Audience: Yeah, you know me! DNL: You down with EPC? Audience: Yeah, you know me! DNL: You down with EPC? Audience: Yeah, you know me! DNL: Who's down with EPC? Audience: All the homies! Thank you. (Applause and cheers) | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Title:
Effects of alcohol intoxication and autonomic arousal on delay discounting and risky sex in young adult heterosexual men.
Abstract:
The relationship between alcohol use and risky sexual behavior is complex and depends on psychological and environmental factors. The alcohol myopia model predicts that, due to alcohol's impact on attention, the behavior of intoxicated individuals will become increasingly directed by salient cues. Autonomic arousal (AA) may have a similar effect on attention. Experiential delay discounting (DD) may be increased by both alcohol consumption and AA due to their common effects and may mediate the relationship between these conditions and risky sex.
This study employed a 3 (alcohol, placebo, control)×2 (high, low arousal) experimental design to examine the effects of acute alcohol intoxication and AA on experiential delay discounting, subjective sexual arousal, and risky sex.
Path models revealed complex results that only partially supported study hypotheses. Ratings of subjective sexual arousal did not differ across either beverage or arousal conditions. DD was also unrelated to any study variable. However, subjective sexual arousal was positively related to risky sexual intentions. Alcohol intoxication was also positively associated with increased unprotected sex intentions, consistent with past studies.
These results affirm the role of subjective sexual arousal and alcohol intoxication in risky sexual decision-making, yielding effect sizes similar to comparable past studies. The lack of differences across autonomic arousal groups also suggests that effects of attentional myopia may be behavior-specific. Failure to replicate effects of alcohol intoxication on DD also suggests reservation regarding its involvement in alcohol-involved risky sex. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

What are antibubbles?
Probably 10 years ago now there was an article in Physics Today about how a fluid bubble can float above a fluid surface. The mechanism was drive by the bubble having a lower temperature than the water surface. The bottom of the bubble is slightly heated due to it's close proximity (but not touching) with the water surface. Heating the bottom of the bubble increases it's surface tension which pulls the bubbles surface down. The surface tension "powers" a torrid circulation pattern in the bubble. Since there's a no slip condition with the air that's in contact with the bubble, the bubble drags air underneath it. If the circulation is fast enough, it'll suspend the bubble above the warmer water surface until the temperature equalizes, killing the circulation and causing the bubble to drop down into the water surface. This is hard to explain w/o diagrams... | 0 | 0 | 1 |

# Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
[TELEMEDICINE
Consultations
Available
Non-surgical rhinoplasty (NSR) is an effective way to enhance the shape and symmetry of your nose without facial plastic surgery. Dr. Bucky and our expert nurse injectors use structural HA filler to make adjustments to the shape and profile of the nose. We can help to smooth bumps, refine irregularities, shape desired contours, and elevate the nasal tip with minimal downtime. Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty, sometimes referred to as Non-surgical nose job or liquid rhinoplasty, is offered at our Philadelphia offices. For those seeking an enhancement of their nasal features without the recovery time associated with traditional rhinoplasty, non-surgical rhinoplasty provides a convenient and customizable option.
## What is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?
NSR is a cosmetic procedure that uses hyaluronic acid (HA) filler to shape and contour the nose without requiring incisions or facial plastic surgery.1 This treatment offers a less invasive alternative to traditional rhinoplasty by using precise injections to enhance the symmetry, adjust the contours, and improve the overall appearance of the nose. It is particularly suitable for individuals who wish to refine their facial features without the downtime or commitment associated with surgical procedures. It allows you to preview a new nasal profile or contour without fear or regret of the outcome. Whether it’s smoothing out a dorsal hump, elevating or narrowing a nasal tip, or even refining the profile, Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty can provide noticeable results with minimal recovery time.
## What Can Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Do?
Liquid rhinoplasty with injectable filler is a great option for making temporary, subtle modifications to your nose without surgery. It can:
* Conceal a bump along the bridge (dorsal hump)
* Smooth out lumps or irregularities
* Correct asymmetry
* Enhance and elevate the nasal tip
* Straighten a slightly crooked nose
* Add volume to specific areas
* Refine dorsal aesthetic lines and build up a flattened nasal bridge
While it’s excellent for minor enhancements, if you’re looking for more dramatic, permanent changes, traditional may be a better fit.2
## Benefits of Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty (NSR)
NSR comes with a range of benefits, making it a popular option for those looking to reshape their nose without surgery:
* **Non-Surgical Procedure:** This procedure is entirely non-surgical, meaning no incisions and no need for general anesthesia.
* **Quick, Visible Results:** The results of non-surgical rhinoplasty are noticeable immediately following treatment, providing instant enhancement.
* **Minimal Downtime:** Unlike traditional rhinoplasty surgery, this procedure has very little recovery time, allowing patients to resume daily activities soon after.
* **Highly Customizable:** Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers provide a high level of precision, allowing the practitioner to carefully adjust nasal shape and contours to suit each individual’s facial features and goals.
* **Temporary and Adjustable:** For those not ready to commit to permanent changes, this treatment offers a reversible option, which can also serve as a preview for potential surgical rhinoplasty results.
* **Improves Symmetry and Profile:** Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty can smooth out bumps, adjust an uneven nasal bridge, elevate a droopy tip, or enhance overall nasal symmetry—all without the need for surgery.
## Who is a Good Candidate for Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?
Liquid rhinoplasty is an excellent option for individuals who wish to enhance the appearance of their nose without undergoing surgery. Ideal candidates are those looking for subtle changes, such as smoothing out bumps, enhancing symmetry, or lifting the nasal tip, all while maintaining a natural look. If you are not ready for the downtime, cost, or commitment associated with surgical rhinoplasty, this non-surgical approach can offer impressive results with minimal interruption to your daily life.
This procedure is best suited for patients who want minor adjustments to the contour or shape of the nose and have realistic expectations about what can be achieved without plastic surgery. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which can involve significant structural changes, non-surgical rhinoplasty adds volume using dermal fillers, making it unsuitable for those who wish to reduce the overall size of their nose. If your goals involve more substantial reshaping, correcting severe functional issues, or reducing the nasal structure, surgical rhinoplasty may be the better choice.3
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is also an excellent option for those who are curious about how changes to their nose may look before deciding on permanent surgery, or for those who wish to correct issues from a previous rhinoplasty.
## Preparing for Your Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty (NSR)
To prepare for your NSR at our Philadelphia office, the first step is to schedule a consultation. During this appointment, an experienced aesthetic injector will:
* Assess your nasal anatomy and surrounding facial features
* Take clinical photos in multiple views in our photography studio
* Review your detailed medical and surgical history to ensure safety & efficacy
* Discuss your overall goals to determine if you are a suitable candidate
* Weigh the risks and benefits of non-surgical rhinoplasty
* Review our before and after photo gallery to determine your individual goals
In the week leading up to your procedure, it’s important to avoid blood-thinning medications (like aspirin, ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve) and certain supplements (like Vitamin E, fish oil, and omega-3s) to reduce the risk of bruising. Additionally, refrain from consuming alcohol and engaging in strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours prior to your appointment. These simple precautions will help ensure a smoother experience, can diminish the risk of bruising and enhance the effectiveness of your treatment.
## The NSR Procedure
The non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure is performed by our skilled aesthetic injector right here in our Philadelphia office. During the treatment, a dermal filler made up of hyaluronic acid gel is precisely injected into specific areas of the nose to reshape and refine its appearance. The filler helps to smooth out bumps, fill in any depressions, refine nasal symmetry and elevate the nasal tip—all without the need for incisions or surgery.
The entire procedure typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes, and most patients experience little to no pain. The injectable filler also contains lidocaine, which further minimizes discomfort during the non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure. For those who are a bit anxious, we can also provide additional options from our comfort menu (like topical numbing, a vibrata tool and a squeeze ball) to help you relax. With this non-surgical approach, patients can achieve natural-looking results that complement their facial structure, all within a short and comfortable office visit.
## Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Recovery and Results
One of the major benefits of non-surgical rhinoplasty is the minimal recovery time involved. Most patients can resume their usual activities immediately following the procedure, although minor swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites is normal and typically subsides within a few days. Applying an ice pack can help to minimize any initial swelling or discomfort.
Results from non-surgical rhinoplasty are visible immediately, with full effects becoming apparent as the minor swelling decreases over the following days. The results are temporary, as the hyaluronic acid fillers are gradually broken down and absorbed by the body. Typically, the effects last between six months and two years, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors. For patients looking to maintain their results, follow-up appointments for repeat treatments are simple and convenient.
NSR or liquid rhinoplasty can also serve as an excellent way to preview the changes that might be achieved through surgical rhinoplasty, giving you a sense of how adjustments to your nose can enhance your overall facial aesthetics.
## FAQs About Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty (NSR)
### Is non-surgical rhinoplasty a good option for fixing breathing problems?
NSR is not intended to correct breathing issues or structural problems such as a deviated septum. For functional concerns, surgical rhinoplasty or septoplasty may be necessary.
### Can I get NSR if I’ve had previous nose surgery?
Yes, patients who have undergone traditional rhinoplasty can still be candidates for non-surgical rhinoplasty and will be determined during consultation. This procedure can help refine previous results or add additional contouring to improve symmetry.
### What is the difference between NSR and traditional rhinoplasty?
NSR uses dermal filler to adjust the shape and contour of the nose. Traditional rhinoplasty, on the other hand, is a surgical procedure involving incisions and permanent structural changes to the nasal anatomy.
### Will there be any scarring after non-surgical rhinoplasty?
No, there is no scarring with non-surgical rhinoplasty as the procedure does not involve any incisions.
### What are the risks of non-surgical rhinoplasty?
NSR is generally considered a safe cosmetic procedure when performed by a specialized expert. However, patients may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few days. There is also a very small risk of filler being accidentally injected into a blood vessel, which could cause complications with the skin or eyes, but this occurs very rarely.4
### What is the downtime after non-surgical rhinoplasty?
There is minimal downtime associated with non-surgical rhinoplasty, and most patients can resume normal activities right away. You may experience some temporary swelling or bruising, which usually subsides within a few days.
### How much does NSR cost?
The cost of a non-surgical rhinoplasty is unique for each patient and depends on factors such as the amount of filler needed and the extent of aesthetic changes desired. We’ll go over the cost of your customized non-surgical rhinoplasty treatment plan during your consultation.

I drove 1800 miles in a Hydrogen Car
Laughable greenwash Dianna , can't believe you're involved in such a misguided uninformed video. Hydrogen will never be a viable fuel as it's production either is from fossil fuels or extremely inefficient hydrolysis which would also need vast amounts of electricity which could be used much more efficiently for actually viable transport solutions such as e-bikes and e-motorcycles and electric trains.

The net present value (NPV) approach has been widely accepted by corporate practitioners and academics as the principle tool for evaluating the feasibility of corporate financial investment opportunities. It conceptually provides an estimate in present value terms of a proposed investment\u27s incremental contribution to the firm, enabling the company to pursue its goal of value maximization with more assurance. NPV uses a discount rate that in theory captures market risks. In the stable growth or mature industries, NPV works well. However, in high investment/high risk-return (HI/HRR) industries, where the investment environment is often profiled as highly uncertain with high returns, NPV is insufficient to reflect the multidimensional risks, hence unable to capture the extensive investment returns that may consist of non-financial values. This dissertation applies the real option (RO) valuation methodology, supplementing the NPV method to evaluate the return of the sports retail industry (SRI) flagship stores investments. This study further demonstrates that there are strategic values captured by the RO valuation method, complementing the financial values attained by the NPV. To test this assertion, we use case methodology to analyze four flagship investment activities (proprietary business data are concealed). These investments represent various investment options, including growth, expansion, staging, and delay. The cases include projections made prior to the investment, the retrospective application of RO to estimate strategic value, and the actual returns from these investments. Findings demonstrate convincingly RO methodology can and should be usefully applied to supplement the NPV method in HI/HRR industries, and SRI in particular | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Decided to roll the dice on a Saturday night and try this place everyone's been raving about. Despite showing up at prime time to a packed house we got a table relatively quickly.
The food was delicious and came out promptly. I didn't any problems with the wait staff like others have expressed. The presentation was a little more than expected without feeling pretentious or like I had to keep my elbows off the table; not that I'm a slob.
Didn't get a chance to make it upstairs but the main dining and bar areas were well-lit but still cozy and had a simple, modern feel.
Good place for a date or toss back a few cold ones with your crew. St. Francis is definitely on my list now. | 0 | 0 | 1 |

## El Malpias: A Diné Collection of Pomes by Marie Adele “M’Adele” Little
Inspired by and meant to be constructed in El Malpais National Park, this set of scale models depicts a design for a jewelers’ retreat, complete with studio, gallery, and five living quarters for resident jewelers. The juniper berries and the hexagon shape that create the design are both elements used by the Diné who once inhabited the land of El Malpais.
Two sets of models, at 1:16 and 1:4, were created with basswood and photographed by the artist, emphasizing strong, intentional lighting details and highlighting the calming, natural-feeling design.

## media projections by Nora Vanesky
This short film layers figurative metaphors with literal representations to create a hyperreal critique of how the projection of media can affect our everyday lives.
The two characters warn against labels that restrict our personalities and influence us to present a false narrative of ourselves and distill our endless capabilities. Media presents a vague expectation of how people should look, act, and consume information, which distorts the true essence of our everyday life. We blindly follow unspoken rules to ensure our acceptance within the seemingly unified world but are each facing our own battles.
The messages projected by media affect each of us in a different way, but we can choose to listen or silence the negative voices. The true act of rebellion is to alter the roar of media into a faint whisper so as not to give power to the overwhelming voices. Instead, we focus on one another and choose to create real connections that are not just projections.

## The Ballerina Method by Jenika Staben
Starting with warmups and stretches, this black and white short film sequences through one dancer’s core rituals in ballet before a performance. Ballerinas prepare their bodies for defined and expressive movements that are meticulously repeated for unity and poise.
Every detail from the placement of their hands to their pointe shoe’s ribbon wrapped tightly around their ankles is crucial to their routine. Endlessly repeating leaps and turns allows for a smooth performance, but once it is over, they must go back to the barre and restart the ballerina method.
This process of stretching, pointing, and leaping is repeated over and over to improve themselves, their skills, and their routine. All this effort and precision is put forth to achieve the everchanging perfection of ballet.
## Nothing by Lauren Sarkissian
*Scribendi* is a nonprofit, annual print publication that publishes creative work from undergraduate Honors students across more than 200 institutions in the Western Regional Honors Council (). In 2016, we joined forces with the National Collegiate Honors Council () to publish works from Honors students all across the nation, which brought the total number of institutions eligible to publish in *Scribendi* to 900. *Scribendi* is primarily produced by Honors students at the University of New Mexico (UNM) Honors College—however, in 2016-2017 the magazine introduced its first exchange student, and for the school year. *Scribendi* solicits work in a number of different categories such as poetry, creative nonfiction, short fiction, foreign language, visual art, photography, and open media.\*
\*Any creative works not otherwise listed, such as film, music, architecture, graffiti, fashion, and art that is beyond definition.
### History of *Scribendi*
Formerly titled *UNM Honors Review,* *Scribendi* began in 1985. A few enterprising undergraduates developed an interest in starting an undergraduate Honors magazine. Dr. Susan Kilgore was the faculty advisor for this publication. At this time, students did not receive credit or much recognition for their work.
The staff frantically held bake sales to help raise money for publishing the magazine. Generous small businesses and parents of the staff also provided funding. Submissions were few and mostly local; there were perhaps thirty or forty in total, and the magazine was less than twenty-five pages long. By the third year, there were over one hundred submissions from the Western region of the United States.
Dr. V. B. Price took over for Dr. Kilgore as faculty advisor for the 1990 issue and arranged to allow students to receive one credit hour per semester for working on the magazine. Students could receive a total of three credit hours for up to three semesters’ worth of work. Submissions increased, as well as the length and scope of the publication. The magazine grew that year to be more than sixty pages.
In 1994, the staff changed the name of the magazine to *Scribendi*. According to Denise Clegg, one of the 1994 editors, “the title reflects the magazine on many levels; it is literally made of the written word, and this year many of the pieces speak about the power of stories, images, and language.”
Dr. Sharon Niederman was the faculty advisor from 1996–1997. By this time, Dr. Price had arranged for the student staff to earn three credit hours for each semester worked. Dr. Leslie Donovan became the faculty advisor in 1997. By this time, the publication had grown to more than one hundred pages. More than 550 submissions were received for the 2003 issue.
For the 2013 issue of *Scribendi*, Amaris Ketcham, the first student staff member to serve in *Scribendi* for four years, returned as the *Scribendi* faculty advisor and professor.
Evaluating so many fine works of art and literature is time-consuming and makes for quite a hectic period in a staff member’s career, but the results are well worth the effort. Though the staff earns credit for their work, being involved with *Scribendi* is still a “somewhat crazy labor of love.”
### What Does *Scribendi* Mean?
Originally entitled *UNM Honors Review*, the magazine changed its name to *Scribendi* in 1995 to reflect the fact that it had grown from a UNM publication into a regional publication for Honors students. The students who came up with the new title for the magazine wanted something that would reflect both a focus on the written word and the traditions associated with Honors education and excellence. They settled on the Latin term *scribendi*.
This term appears in a letter by J. R. R. Tolkien, who was a noted philologist of his time and a scholar intimately familiar with classical languages. In the letter, he writes, “I have been possessed on occasions (few, happily) with a sort of *furor scribendi*, in which the pen finds the words rather than head or heart” (Humphrey Carpenter, *Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien*, Letter 113). This sense gets at what the 1995 editors of *Scribendi* were intending when they retitled the magazine.
But what does the title actually mean?
In 2003, Classics major and *Scribendi* editor Lindsey Lesch prepared the following analysis for the back cover of that year’s issue:
> *SCRI•BÉN•DI / skribéndee /*
> participle (nom., pl., masc., gerundive/future passive part. of scribo, scribere – 3rd conj. – “to write”) LATIN.
>
> Those which must be written. | 0 | 1 | 0 |
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS Waterside Capital Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia on July 13, 1993 and was a closed-end investment company licensed by the Small Business Administration (the SBA) as a Small Business Investment Corporation (SBIC). The Company previously made equity investments in, and provided loans to, small businesses to finance their growth, expansion, and development. Under applicable SBA regulations, the Company was restricted to investing only in qualified small businesses as contemplated by the Small Business Investment Act of 1958. As a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act), the Companys investment objective was to provide its shareholders with a high level of income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The Company made its first investment in a small business in October 1996. On May 28, 2014, with the Companys consent, the court having jurisdiction over the action filed by the SBA (the Court ) entered a Consent Order and Judgment Dismissing Counterclaim, Appointing Receiver, Granting Permanent Injunctive Relief and Granting Money Judgment (the Order ). The Order appointed the SBA receiver of the Company for the purpose of marshaling and liquidating in an orderly manner all of the Companys assets and entered judgment in favor of the United States of America, on behalf of the SBA, against the Company in the amount of $11,770,722. The Court assumed jurisdiction over the Company and the SBA was appointed receiver effective May 28, 2014. The Company effectively stopped conducting an active business upon the appointment of the SBA as receiver and the commencement of the court ordered receivership (the Receivership ). Over the course of the Receivership the activity of the Company was limited to the liquidation of the Companys assets by the receiver and the payment of the proceeds therefrom to the SBA and for the expenses of the Receivership. On June 28, 2017 the Receivership was terminated with the entry of a Final Order by the Court. The Final Order specifically stated that Control of Waterside shall be unconditionally transferred and returned to its shareholders c/o Roran Capital, LLC (Roran) upon notification of entry of this Order. Upon termination of the Receivership Roran took possession of all books and records made available to it by the SBA, and Roran expended, and has continued to expend, its own funds to maintain the viability of the Company. The Company has no operating assets of any value, and the Company no longer has the SBIC license from the SBA. The Company is clearly no longer operating as a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Company will now seek to either (i) enter into a new business; or, (ii) merge with, or otherwise acquire, an active business which would benefit from operating as a public entity, and has undertaken a search to identify the best possible candidate(s) in order to provide value to the shareholders of the Company. The Company has filed with the SEC an Application pursuant to Section 8(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for an order declaring that the Company has ceased to be a registered investment company. In response to that filing, the SEC issued to the Company comments in a letter dated May 16, 2018. The Company responded to those comments with the filing of an Amended Application on June 4, 2018. On October 30, 2018, in response to verbal comments from the SEC, the Company filed a Second Amended Application. As of the date of this Quarterly Statement, the Company has not received any response from the SEC in regard to the Second Amended Application. Going Concern The accompanying financial statements of our Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company effectively ceased operations and it continues to have net losses through the date of these financial statements. Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that our business is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with a business with no operating business or assets and no revenue, as well as limitations on our operating capital resources. We have incurred operating losses and negative operating cash flows since the Receivership, and we expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows at least through the near future. Roran, which is a related party to the Company, has agreed to advance our Company a limited amount of funding in order to partially meet our most critical cash requirements. For further discussion of the advances made by Roran, see Notes 3 and 5. | 0 | 1 | 0 |

Title:
Iterative reconstruction of pulmonary MDCT angiography: effects on image quality, effective dose and estimated organ dose to the breast.
Abstract:
To compare the image characteristics, effective dose and estimated organ dose to the female breast in pulmonary MDCT angiography (MDCTA), reconstructed with either standard filtered back projection (FBP), or iterative reconstruction in image space (IRIS).
Pulmonary MDCTA performed in 116 females (age 18 - 77 years; body mass index 15 - 48) was reconstructed with FBP (n=52) or IRIS (n=64). Scans were acquired on a 128-row MDCT system using automatic tube current modulation, 100 kV tube voltage, and a quality reference mAs value of 120 (FBP) and 80 (IRIS). Dose was calculated from CT dose index (CTDIvol) and dose length product (DLP) values utilising ImPACT software. Image noise was measured within the pulmonary artery. Qualitative visual assessment of the scans was performed (1=negligible noise, 5=noise obscuring diagnostic information).
The average CTDIvol yielded 4.33 mGy for FBP and 3.54 mGy for IRIS, respectively (18.2% decrease). The average effective scan dose was 2.73±0.57 mSv (FBP) and 2.29±0.68 mSv (IRIS), respectively (16.1% decrease). The estimated average organ dose to the breast decreased from 5.1±1.1 mGy (FBP) to 4.2±1.2 mGy (IRIS, 17.6% decrease). No non-diagnostic scans (score 5) were encountered in either group. Significant improvement in image noise levels (P<0.01) and subjective image quality (P<0.02) were noted in IRIS group.
Pulmonary MDCTA utilizing a 100 kV technique, automatic tube current modulation, and iterative image reconstruction offers robust results in routine conditions among an unselected female population, with breast doses being comparable to two-view digital mammography. Moreover, iterative reconstruction offers improvements in both image noise and visual perception of the scans, thus suggesting a potential for further dose reduction. | 1 | 0 | 0 |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In view of the inherent difficulties of predicting the outcome of various types of legal proceedings, we cannot determine the ultimate resolution of the matters described below. We establish reserves for litigation and regulatory matters when losses associated with the claims become probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal matters may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts reserved for those matters. For matters where the likelihood or extent of a loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably be estimated as of October 1, 2016 , we have not recorded a loss reserve. If certain of these matters are determined against the Company, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. We currently believe we have valid defenses to the claims in these lawsuits and intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously regardless of whether or not we have a loss reserve. Other than what is disclosed below, we do not expect the outcome of the litigation matters to which we are currently subject to, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
