‘Atomic pen’ writes with individual atoms

17 Oct 2008

Atom pen --
An Osaka University research team has demonstrated an "atomic pen" that can inscribe nano-sized text on metal by manipulating individual atoms on the surface.

According to the researchers, whose results appear in the October 17 edition of Science magazine, the atomic pen is built on a previous discovery that silicon atoms at the tip of an atomic force microscope probe will interchange with the tin atoms in the surface of a semiconductor sample when in close proximity. Using this atom-interchange phenomenon, the researchers were able to arrange individual silicon atoms one by one on a semiconductor surface to spell out the letters "Si." The writing process, which took about an hour and a half to complete, was conducted at room temperature.

The completed text measures 2 x 2 nanometers, which is roughly 40,000 times smaller than the width of the average human hair.

"It's not possible to write any smaller than this," said Masayuki Abe, a researcher involved in the project.

The ability to incorporate individual atoms into a surface could lead to a variety of advances in atomic scale technology, the researchers suggest. If used in chip manufacturing, for example, this technology could help build powerful computers the size of a wristwatch.

Shuetsu Sato tape signs at Nippori station

11 Sep 2007

Shuetsu Sato is a Japan Railways employee known for making complex, stylish signs and maps from strips of colored duct tape. For years, his work graced the walls and construction barriers at Shinjuku station while it underwent extensive renovations. Sato's creative use of tape has earned him quite a following, particularly online, and recent blog buzz has prompted some Japanese TV networks to take notice. This video from an NHK news magazine program profiles Sato and his work at Nippori station on Tokyo's Yamanote line, where his most recent work is currently on display.

The video begins with commentary about the online popularity of Sato's work. (At the 30-second mark, a screenshot of Pink Tentacle appears while the narrator describes the attention Sato's work has received on "overseas" blogs...!?!) From 1:00 to 2:00, Sato shows how it is done -- this is the highlight of the video, as it shows the degree of complexity involved in shaping tape into beautiful kanji. From 2:00 to 2:40, Sato laughs off some criticism he has received for the way his "?" character looks, and from 4:30 to 5:00, Sato demonstrates his techniques for creating rounded corners. At 5:30, one of the hosts tells Sato that bloggers have honored him by naming his font style "Shuetsu." He looks almost as if he might be impressed.

Here are a few photos of Sato's work at Nippori station:

Artificial bones made with 3D inkjet printers

13 Aug 2007

Custom artificial bone made on 3D inkjet printer -- Researchers from the Tissue Engineering Department at the University of Tokyo Hospital and venture company Next 21 are using 3D inkjet printers to produce tailor-made artificial bones for use in facial reconstructive surgery. Following initial trials performed on a Welsh corgi and 10 people over the past year and a half, the researchers are set to begin a more extensive second round of human testing this autumn.

To make an artificial bone with this technology, a 3D computer model of the bone is first created based on the patient's X-ray and CT scan data. The computer model is then sliced into a large number of cross-sections and the data is sent to a special 3D inkjet printer, which works sort of like an ordinary inkjet printer by transferring tiny droplets of liquid onto a surface. However, unlike ordinary printers that print on paper, this one prints onto thin layers of powdered alpha-tricalcium phosphate (alpha-TCP). The "ink" is a water-based polymer adhesive that hardens the alpha-TCP it comes into contact with. By repeatedly laying down the powder and printing successive layers on top of one another, the printer is able to physically reproduce the desired bone to an accuracy of one millimeter.

Strong, lightweight and porous, the printed bones have characteristics similar to natural bone, and because they are tailored to fit exactly where they need to go, they are quick to integrate with the surrounding bone. The printed bone is also designed to be resorbed by the body as the surrounding bone slowly grows into it and replaces it.

In initial human trials conducted between March 2006 and July 2007, the effectiveness and safety of the artificial bones were tested in plastic surgery operations performed on 10 male and female patients between the ages of 18 and 54. In the second round of trials beginning this autumn at 10 medical institutions across Japan, the researchers plan to print up and implant synthetic bones in 70 volunteer patients with face or skull bones that have been damaged or removed due to injury or surgery.

While the printed bones are still not considered strong enough to replace weight-bearing bones, they are ten times stronger than conventional artificial bones made from hydroxylapatite, a naturally occurring mineral that is also the main component of natural bone. The printed bones are also cheaper and easier to make than hydroxylapatite implants, which must be sintered, or heated to a high temperature to get the particles to adhere to each other. In addition to taking longer to produce, sintered implants also take longer for the body to resorb.

The next round of human trials will be conducted at Dokkyo Medical University, Saitama Medical University, Tokyo Dental College, University of Tokyo, Juntendo University, Tsurumi University, Kyoto University, Osaka Medical College, Kobe University and Osaka City General Medical Center.

The researchers hope to make the technology commercially available by 2010.

Shinjuku station signage made with adhesive tape

19 Jul 2007

Shinjuku station signs made with duct tape --

If, over the past several years, you have had the privilege of joining the 3.3 million people that pass through Tokyo's Shinjuku station each day, you may have observed the work of Mr. Sato. A construction worker by trade, Sato uses strips of adhesive tape to create elaborate makeshift signs that help people navigate the temporary chaos of ongoing renovation work at Shinjuku station.

Shinjuku station signs made with duct tape --

Sato's signs, which feature a peculiarly attractive gothic font, are the focus of a 15-minute documentary video put together by TrioFour, a small group of independent filmmakers. The video, which can be seen in two parts here (part 1, part 2), consists mainly of a long interview with Sato, entirely in Japanese (no subtitles), but it also shows lots of photos of his work from 2004. The photos below are still shots taken from the video.

With his work at Shinjuku complete, Sato has boarded the Yamanote line and taken his adhesive tape sign creation skills to the now-under-renovation Nippori station. TrioFour followed him there and is working on a new documentary.

UPDATE: More photos HERE and HERE.

Taberu Me: Peanuts as business cards

29 Jun 2007

TaberuMe edible business cards --

For people looking to liven up the formal rigamarole surrounding the exchange of business cards in Japan, Arigatou Co., Ltd., a company specializing in the sale of laser-etched food products, offers "Taberu Me" edible business cards printed on peanuts.

Laser-etched beans and nuts -- Taberu Me cards are created using Arigatou's high-grade CO2 laser engraver nicknamed "Shiawase-kun," which can etch up to 700 characters per second on hard organic materials like beans, nuts, rice and pasta and which has been optimized to print clean-looking logos, names and telephone numbers on the irregular surfaces of peanut shells.

As for the product name, Taberu means "eat" and Me could either be an abbreviation of meishi ("business card") or "me" in English, in which case Taberu Me would be saying "Eat me" -- a message you probably don't want to convey to your new business partner at the first meeting. Regardless, a set of 150 Taberu Me cards costs 5,800 yen (around $50), which is mere peanuts considering the lasting impression you will make on your new counterparts.

Heat-sensitive urinal stickers as bug spray marketing gimmick

14 Jun 2007

Heat-sensitive urinal stickers as marketing tool -- The marketing minds at Fumakilla, a pesticide manufacturer, have launched a gimmicky bug spray promotional campaign that makes use of heat-sensitive, color-changing stickers placed in urinals at public restrooms around Shinjuku station. Under ordinary, dry conditions, the special urinal stickers show a housefly in the crosshairs of a rifle scope, but as men take aim and relieve themselves on the stickers, the fly transforms into an advertising message.

The stickers are printed with a layer of special, heat-sensitive ink developed by Pilot Ink. When the sticker is exposed to a certain amount of heat, this layer of ink becomes transparent, revealing an advertisement printed underneath. Dai Nippon Printing, who manufactured the stickers for Fumakilla, designed them to withstand the rigors of being placed in a public urinal for extended periods of time. Fumakilla says that in addition to serving as a form of advertising, the stickers provide men with a convenient target to aim for when using urinals, which leads to a cleaner restroom environment.

The company has also launched a website featuring a simple Flash game called "Ippatsu Meichu," which allows players to test their fly-shooting skills in a virtual lavatory. Make sure not to make a mess, though, or you'll get a visit from the angry toilet lady.

QR code on shrimp crackers

05 Jun 2007

QR Ebi-sen -- Internet content creator Hertz has launched a new marketing service called "QR Ebi-sen," which allows companies and individuals to print QR code on shrimp crackers. QR code, a type of two-dimensional code that enjoys widespread use in Japan, connects users to mobile web content when they scan it with a QR code reader-equipped cellphone.

Using natural dye extracted from tamarind seeds, the QR code is printed on the smooth surface of white crackers provided by ebi senbei manufacturer Shimahide, whose factory is located in the city of Kanonji in Kagawa prefecture -- a place known for delicious ebi senbei. The resulting cracker has a high-contrast, high-quality image readable by a cellphone QR code scanner.

The price for the service starts at 10,000 yen ($85), with an additional fee based on the number of crackers printed. Visitors to the NET Marketing Forum held at Tokyo Midtown from June 6 to 7 will get the first taste of QR Ebi-sen courtesy of the Web Technology Corporation, who will be handing them out from their company booth.

Printing with DNA

05 Apr 2007

DNA --- Tokyo-based Ko-sin Printing has developed a printing process that allows authors to add a more personal touch to their printed works by using ink that includes their DNA.

Once DNA is extracted from a human (or animal) hair or nail sample provided by the author, it is blended with a special ink and used in the printing process. Ko-sin has already put the technology to use in some self-published autobiographies whose title pages are printed with ink that includes the author's DNA. Mixing DNA in with the ink does not alter the appearance of the page, the company says.

Ko-sin also claims it is possible to extract genetic information from materials printed using this process. When the company sent a sample page to a DNA laboratory, the lab technicians were able to isolate and extract the DNA from the page.

The patent-pending printing process was invented by Ko-sin's president, Mr. Yoshida, who drew upon his years of experience researching and developing ink. Ko-sin hopes the process will appeal to autobiographers who want to add value to their work by including their DNA, or to people who wish to insert the DNA of beloved pets into printed materials. The company is now investigating other potential applications.

Nanotext: Holographic print gets 30 times finer

02 Feb 2007

Nanotext --- On February 1, Toppan Printing unveiled new nanotext printing technology for inserting microscopic text into holographic images. The company says they plan to use nanotext to provide an extra layer of security to their "Crystagram" holographic anti-counterfeit technology. Test production is set to begin later this month.

Toppan's holographic nanotext printing uses electron beams (EB) to print characters 30 times smaller than possible with existing "microtext" technology. With a resolution of about 100 nanometers, it is now possible to print more than 20 holographic characters in a space the width of a human hair (about 80 microns).

Holograms have long been used as an effective method for preventing the counterfeit of items ranging from gift certificates to credit cards to luxury brand products, but organizations find themselves locked into a race with counterfeiters that are quick to adopt new technologies. Nanotext, Toppan argues, provides the next hurdle for counterfeiters to overcome.

Toppan is now working on the technology necessary for mass production, and full market release is scheduled for autumn 2007. The company is aiming for first-year sales of 300 million yen ($2.5 million).

If pitching is treated as a business process it is possible to reduce internal costs and win more pitches. It will also give your business more time to focus on servicing client requirements and generating higher profits.

How does it work?

The Pitch Factory process is effective and efficient, and derived from years of pitching experience in many sectors. The process ensures each pitch situation is prepared for properly. It identifies what is most important to the client. It helps structure presentations and meeting agendas so the message communicated is clearer and more easily understood. It helps the pitch team select the most appropriate language, tone of voice and style, and teaches them how to describe products and services in ways that are compelling and persuasive, and therefore more attractive to the client.

The process impacts the entire sales and business development process, including informal meetings, where company credentials are presented and the value of products and services are explained and discussed, as well as formal pitches and presentations to senior executives of the client or to a panel, in response to a written ITT or RFP.

The process has 5 steps:

  • Purpose
  • Audience and Language
  • Subject Matter and Content
  • Planning and Structure
  • Delivery

Each step is designed to challenge the pitch team to think through their approach, so by the time they prepare notes or a presentation, they are not only clear what they need to talk about, they also have a much clearer idea as to how they will communicate key messages, and describe the benefits and value of the proposition they are putting forward. This clear-minded approach delivers more persuasive and more compelling pitches, saves time and costs, and increases the likelihood of winning.

Each process step is clearly defined, and supported by documentation and guidance notes, examples and tools designed to make it as easy to apply in the real world of work.

It is not a “One Size Fits All” approach

The Pitch Factory process is derived from real experience gained helping client’s win pitches over many years, in many pitch situations and in many industries and sectors. It is practical and effective, which is why following it produces results.

The process works well in light-touch situations, such as informal meetings, as well as heavier lifting larger-scale pitch projects, where the stakes are higher, and the level of involvement and internal resource commitments are also higher. The difference between light-touch and large-scale is not in the process per se, but in the level of detail and time spent on each step.

What are the benefits of implementing the Pitch Factory Process?

This approach has two important benefits:

Clear company-wide processes are more efficient than managing numerous custom approaches because:

      • Adding people to a pitch teams becomes easy, because everyone has a common understanding of the process
      • Integrating multi-disciplinary teams is possible because teams won't have developed their own custom processes, and are therefore able to work effectively together from day 1
      • Training is minimised for new employees
      • The process produces a clearly structured presentation or content plan, which is focused on the key points that need to be discussed with a client in the specific meeting situation. Therefore, content and presentation materials are not produced for the sake of it. Instead, content is automatically confined to telling the story. This significantly reduces the workload of the pitch team by comparison to a more generalised approach

The approach is more effective because:

  • Proposals and presentations, written the Pitch Factory way, are more compelling because they tell a clear, well thought-through story, which is entirely focused on explaining how the solution will meet client-needs
  • The Pitch Factory process enhances the quality of proposals and presentations, because they become more punchy and succinct, and are designed to create the best and most positive impact on the client
  • This more structured approach, whereby each person presenting has a clear role and message to communicate, enhances the presentation capabilities of the entire team – even those who are the least confident. Having structure and clearly defined content shifts presentation success away from being solely a question of individual performance

Implementation ensures a company is able to rapidly adapt to new methodologies and working practices through a package of training and support, which ensures adoption is smooth and seamless.

The combination of training, delivered directly by Pitch Factory or through a train-the-trainer approach, and access to information overcomes the implementation hurdle.

Clients will have access to customised online resources explaining how the process works, to be able to access self-learning tutorials, download and use business tools and read reference materials, which will ensure everyone understands the new approach and how to apply it in practice.

The approach is, in some ways, quite simple. The training provides knowledge and equips individuals, and the process provides the mechanism for the company as a whole to implement the new way of working, company-wide.

Arcades on the Isle of Sheppey, North Kent

Leysdown-on-Sea is a coastal village on the east side of the Isle of Sheppey.  There was not much of note here, the few videogames they had were mostly modern.  I think the oldest game I saw was Manx TT Super Bike.  However it was nice to see Chase H.Q. 2 Deluxe and GTI Club – Supermini Festa!

I was chatting to one of the arcade Ops and he said they had the Ridge Racer Full Scale arcade cabinet, but got rid of it last summer.  Apparently some parts were scrapped, and some were put in storage?  I think it was in in Mr B’s arcade.  He was actually pleased it was gone as it kept getting vandalized.  A real shame as I would have loved to play it, and I doubt I will ever have the chance now.

Sheerness is the biggest town on the island and is located beside the mouth of the River Medway on the north-west corner.  There was just one arcade here.  I had passed by a couple of times before and seen the two jamma cabs near the entrance, but the arcade had always been closed.  Maybe on previous occasions it was too late or out of season?  It was nice to finally pop in and find out what games were running in the cabs.

The Street Fighter II cab had monitor issues, although it might just need some adjustment.  The control panel button arrangement was certainly interesting!  It was also cool to see Tumble Pop (Data East) in the other cab.  The arcade also had a Revolution X cabinet.

Spreys de Mir

Sometimes people aren’t quite sure what klezmer exactly is, where it comes from or how to play it.

July 26, 2015 – A local family is making sure that the legacy of their young son leaves a lasting impact on area youth. Lovingly remembered for his sideways grin and as the “non-twin” in the family, Burkley (Burk) Hansen, 13, passed away from an all-terrain vehicle accident earlier this year.

With the support of close friends, Burk’s parents, Clint and Tammy, have created a foundation to promote service, faith, personal development and recreational opportunities. Several upcoming community events sponsored by the PlayForBurk Foundation have already been set, including a special visit by international recording artist Alex Boye next month.

“It all started because the day Burk passed away, a lot of his friends and people who knew him started doing ‘Play for Burk’ hashtags on Instagram and other social media places, so it just kind of stuck,” said Clint Hansen, adding that a logo with his son’s basketball number “32” also was soon created.

”Within a month and a half of Burk’s death, we had the foundation set up, which I understand is pretty fast for a 501(c)3 , so I can’t help but think there’s some divine intervention in helping us get it set up,” he said.

Boye recently received a standing ovation for his rendition of Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” on “America’s Got Talent.”

“His parents are from Nigeria, he was born in London, and now he’s a dual citizen. He’ll sing some spiritual songs, and it will give us all a chance to meet him and he’ll stay around and talk to people,” said Hansen.

Boye will arrive to the City of Legends and perform a family-friendly concert at 7 p.m. Aug. 22 at the Bartlesville Community Center, where local talent will have the chance to share the stage with the inspirational artist and sing “Let It Go.”

Clint Hansen said that local soloists interested in being part of Boye’s singing show can submit a demo video by going to www.playforburk.org/alex-boye-benefit-concert or email [email protected] no later than Friday.

Hansen reflected on the special bond he had with his son, especially throwing the football around in the family’s front yard.

“One of our favorite things to do was pretend like we were in the Super Bowl,” he said. “I would be quarterback, and he’d be the receiver and so the front yard became our football field. There’s a tree in the middle of the yard and that was the defender. He’d love it when I’d make him dive for the footballs, so that was really fun.”

Still, Burk’s top passion was basketball, and he especially enjoyed supporting Brigham Young University, proudly wearing number 32 on his basketball journey, just like his favorite player, James “Jimmer” Fredette.

“He really loved basketball. He was on a semi-competitive team here in town and his teammates became part of the family. Two of his teammates were there the day he passed away,” said Hansen.

The promising young Madison Middle School student also loved his family and bonding with his older twin siblings, Nathan and Mikah, and Elayna and Ethan, the younger twins.

“He was strong in his faith, had a passion to help others and cheer up those who needed it. He was a friend to all around him, whether it was the homeless girl or popular kid in school. He just had a big heart and always put others before himself,” said Hansen, adding that his son was also an active Boy Scout and planned to serve a two-year service mission on behalf of the LDS church after graduating high school.

The PlayForBurk Foundation will further promote events reflecting Burk’s interests through various other community events, including a back-to-school bowling fundraiser party on Sept. 3 at the Red Apple Bowling Alley.

An “inflatable” 5K fun run for the Bartlesville community is also scheduled a month later on Oct. 3 near Madison Middle School. More details on both events will be available soon.

Hansen said that an overall goal for the foundation is to help area youth develop and succeed. He envisions having programs where students can become more involved in serving the community, as well as a leadership program and conference next summer featuring well-known motivational speakers.

“Doing good in the world is what we’re all about. We want to focus on local youth. A lot of kids knew Burk or knew of him. So we figured if we keep the name Burk in there, they’ll know and recognize that it’s for Burk Hansen,” he said.

For more about the PlayForBurk Foundation, including how to become involved, visit www.playforburk.com.

Tickets to the Aug. 22 Alex Boye concert range from $10-$50 and are available through the BCC box office and also can be purchased online at www.bartlesvillecommunitycenter.com.

Well all I have access to now is a really crappy, blurry flip phone pic. One before firing, one after. It shows how difficult it is to get the glaze depth and color correct, and it's also easy to forget a spot, like finishing the rear area of the rotor on the brake. Except for minimal perimeter tracing, it was freehand-drawn from a picture taken in 2005. RIP Nicky!

Thanks guys. Jeff, I hope you (and everyone else here) has a nice holiday season. I don't really pay too much attention to it, except trying to mildly--especially compared to my sisters--spoil my grandnephew and grandniece (3 & 1 respectively).

Wishing for a warm, sunny New Year and catching up on my riding after being idle for way too long. Jeff, you certainly know how that feels, far more seriously than I ever did.

Take care everyone!

Give, Give, Give on Giving Tuesday

By Katherine Kerr, APR

In between all those emails from retailers demanding attention for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you are probably getting appeals from charities asking for donations on Giving Tuesday.

Giving Tuesday was started in 2012 to create a day of international giving in response to commercialization and consumerism between Thanksgiving and Christmas. With all the focus on Black Friday sales and Cyber Monday, it is easy to forget that nonprofits doing good works around the world need your help. Just like retailers, most of their money comes in between Thanksgiving and the end of the calendar year. Donations at year end determines their financial stability for 2018. Almost all charities will tell you that demand for services and expenses have gone up and are expected to continue that trend.

If you’re like me, you probably have more stuff than you can say grace over. My sons agree I have too much “junk” and they complain about all the stuff they’ll have to sort through when I finally die.

But every year, they want to know what they can get me for Christmas. And my birthday. And Mother’s Day.

Almost every time I ask them to give to a charity. It’s not because I’m bucking for sainthood; it’s because I really do have everything I need or want. And if I want something, I tend to get it myself.

A gift to a charity I’ve selected or that is important to them means a great deal more to me than some item they spent precious time worrying whether I would like it, or if it was the right size or color. And it a charitable gift doesn’t add to the mounds of stuff I already have!

If you are in the same situation, or if you’re trying to figure out what to get that hard-to-shop-for person, please consider a gift to a nonprofit. A gift to a faith community where your loved one worships or a cause your family member cares about can be meaningful.

Fortunately, some charities are blessed to have generous donors who will match or multiply gifts that come in on Giving Tuesday. Please consider a gift to them so your donation will be leveraged to do even more.

For most of us, it is better to give and not receive.

Faculty Milestones & Fundraising at CASE IV

By Tim Kubatzky,  CFRE

I had the great pleasure of presenting a breakout workshop at the CASE IV Mini-Conference  on Saturday, August 2, at the Pearl Hotel on South Padre Island. We talked about the wonderful and sometimes challenging opportunities to raise funds to celebrate faculty milestones. The development office often ends up very involved in these efforts if not completely in charge of them. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you plan for a successful and fitting tribute.

Who are the prospective donors? Alumni with fond memories of the professor or administrator, certainly. How about colleagues from your school or academic peers from other institutions? Did the professor have connections to an industry group or do research for companies? Some professors are known for their continuing education or certification prep courses and may have admirers outside your own alumni base. Don’t forget family and friends.

How much can you expect to raise? Goal-setting is an inexact science, but agreeing on a goal and defining how the funds will be used help give your fundraising effort momentum. The number of prospects, their financial ability and their level of interest are all factors in determining the goal. Do you have a lead donor who will get things rolling, or a person or foundation who will agree to backstop the goal so there is no possibility of falling short? You may want to define the tribute gift broadly at first–say a faculty excellence fund–and avoid calling it a fellowship or chair until you have those endowment minimums in sight.

What method will you use to raise funds? A retiring professor with corporate connections might be a candidate for a gala with table sales, while a professor who influenced international students might be better served with a mail/email campaign. Tailor your methods to your honoree and your constituents, and choose a one-off event, a traditional campaign or a crowd-funding drive based on what is most appropriate and has the best chance of success.

Do you have buy-in from decision-makers? If you set out to honor a faculty member with a tribute suggested by alumni, family or friends, make sure from the start that the intended gift is acceptable to the president, provost, dean or department chair. Ideally, the gift will honor the professor while meeting an institutional priority. Get your approvals before the word gets out to your constituents.  Development shouldn’t steer the ship–we just make sure it has enough fuel to get to port.

The elements that make for good faculty milestone fundraising efforts are the same ones that work for major gift planning of all sorts. The good news is that these faculty milestones are not uncommon, and we should embrace them for the wonderful opportunities they are.

Politics Study Groups

What are Politics Study Groups?

Politics study groups are collaborative study sessions that bring together advanced Politics majors preparing to take comprehensive exams with students beginning their education in Political Science. Through partnerships, study group leaders will engage with interested students in the following activities:

  • Helping students to read, study, and take notes more effectively
  • Revising and reorganizing written assignments
  • Clarifying concepts and providing examples
  • Creating short- and long-term study goals

As successful students in the major, our study group leaders can provide valuable advice and assistance, helping to set you on a path for success in the major.

How do I join a Politics Study Group?

To ensure that each student has a chance to meet with a study group leader, we require that students make appointments at least 24 hours ahead of time with our study group leaders for 30 minute sessions, using a scheduling tool available for each study group leader. Our study group leaders are available Monday-Thursday, at various times. Please note how many individuals plan to attend the study session.

By clicking on the links below, you will be able to see each group leader’s available times and to schedule an appointment:

  • Make an appointment with Peyton Costa here (areas of expertise: gender and politics; human rights; intl. law and institutions; transitional and post-conflict justice)
  • Make an appointment with Emily Donkervoet here (areas of expertise: internal conflict and post-conflict justice; terrorism; social welfare policy; health policy (global and domestic); and the legislative process)
  • Make an appointment with Georgia Konstam here (areas of expertise: presidency; legislative process; constitutional law; parties and interest groups; environmental politics and law; politics of developmental aid)
  • Make an appointment with Adrienne Davis here (areas of expertise: constitutional law--civil rights/civil liberties; social movements; gender, violence, and power; legislative process; poverty and inequlity/social welfare policy; campaigns and elections; politics of LGBT rights)
  • Make an appointment with Ellen Henthorn here (areas of expertise: identity and diversity (e.g., politics of race, gender, sexuality, religion); the legislative process; the presidency; politics of poverty and inequality; public policy; campaigns and elections; parties and interest groups; constitutional law--civil rights/liberties)
  • Make an appointment with Meg Kirby here (areas of expertise: world politics; legislative process; immigration law and policy; African politics; intl. law; American government and politics)

How Should I Prepare for my Study Group Session?

To each study group session you should bring any course texts (e.g., textbooks, books, articles, etc.), your syllabus, any assignments you are seeking feedback on, and a list of goals for your study session.

Remember, study group leaders are not going to do work for you or copyedit your papers, so make sure you have clear goals in mind coming into the session.

NFL Playoffs 2016: Predictions, Picks, And Super Bowl 50 Favorites

Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports

The last 10 Super Bowls have produced eight different winners -and three of them have been wild cards, even though they've first had to win three games on the road to get there. Everyone from Boston to Santa Clara, Calif., has their opinion on NFL playoff predictions, including us.

The Bengals are playing against the Steelers, one of the hottest teams in football, and are doing so without their starting quarterback Andy Dalton. We went through that previous year, losing in the first round; it's tough. Can't help you.

Want to follow a team that wins Super Bowls more than anyone and whose only success in most any stretch of this century you want to include is surpassed only by the Patriots? They were the last of the 12 teams to claim their place in the play-offs and only did so when the Buffalo Bills overcame the New York Jets last Sunday.

And here are Saturday's clashes... It was November 15 in Week 10 against the Broncos that they were underdogs. The final five games of the season, the former Michigan State standout and reigning Player of the Month completed 73.5 percent of his passes for 1,379 yards, 13 touchdowns and just one interception. With an offense that averaged 408.3 YPG (most in the NFL) and 30.6 points/game (2nd most in the NFL) coupled with a defense that only conceded 321.7 YPG to opposing teams (5th best in the NFL). they have the tools to win it all.

It is often said that defence wins championships and if you were building a championship-winning defence from scratch there is little doubt that Houston's JJ Watt would be one of the first names on the sheet. They include Kansas City (22 years without a playoff win), Washington (10), and Philadelphia (7). They had the two best records in the league, and by common consent are its two best teams. That level of production over a 16-game season would have seen Johnson rush for 1,414 yards and amass another 691 more.

Green Bay's status as a wild card team really shows how they have limped into the play-offs. Green Bay was my favorite to go all the way last summer, but I put too much stock in Aaron Rodgers' abilities as a single human being.

Packers (-1) at Redskins. Kirk Cousins and Co. have won four consecutive games, but they still haven't beaten a team with a winning record.

That leaves either Seattle or Green Bay as the answer. I'm all for making the game better and more fun for fans.

This was a team with a rookie quarterback, a second-year Pro Bowl cornerback and a pair of third-year safeties who were redefining the way their positions were classified in the NFL.

T-1. Cardinals (9-2; Previously 5-1): The high-powered Cardinals face off with the lowest-seedeed winner of the Vikings-Seahawks and Washington-Packers games taking place this Sunday.

All games will be available on phones in the NFL Mobile from Verizon application, which works with Window, iOS and Android phones. Maclin is having and breakout season, but its the defense that has come up big as of late and has limited opponents to 17 points or less in each of their last four games.

Colleague Mike Sando made a compelling case for Palmer as the MVP, noting that Palmer hadn't played a poor game all season (the article was published before Week 17, when Palmer played just a half of Arizona's finale against Seattle).

County’s Judicial Center project moves forward

By LPR Staff

You have to spend money to save money – even when it is a matter of taxpayer money.

That was the prevailing thought that dictated the action of the Caldwell County Commissioners’ Court on Monday morning when they approved a three-part contract with Broaddus & Associates, an Austin-based planning firm who will soon begin the process o

f creating a scope of work, and later possibly managing a construction project to mitigate site damage at the Caldwell County Judicial Center.

The project, which is slated to begin after Thanksgiving, first involves determining the scope of work required in the project. Afterward, the Commissioners will have to decide whether to move forward with repairs to the building or take a new direction.

Long since a thorn in the Court’s side, the Caldwell County Judicial Center on the corner of Commerce and San Antonio Streets, remains in need of repairs, this time due to a leaking roof and moisture seepage in the exterior walls.

The amount of work required, however, is the unknown factor, and the reason why Broaddus & Associates has been called in to examine the project.

“This contract only addresses the critical needs at the Judicial Center,” said Brenda Jenkins, vice-president of Broaddus & Associates, who visited with the Commissioners on Monday. “These are only the repairs needed to stabilize the building, not to reconstruct it.”

By “stabilizing,” Jenkins means stop the seepage of moisture into the building, so the County can move forward with mitigating the damage, if it is cost-effective to do so.

In the first phase of the project, Broaddus employees will perform an assessment of the building, including testing the air quality and equipment in the building, determining the extent of the damage done, and establishing the structural integrity of the facility.

Depending upon those results, the Court will then have to decide whether to move forward with repairs, or to take a new direction with the Judicial Center.

“At the beginning, I was dead-set against this thing,” Precinct 4 Commissioner Joe Roland said. “But now, the deeper we get into it, the more sense I think it makes. I think if we’re going to continue to put money into this building, we need to know exactly what we’re looking at. We don’t want to get into a project where we start fixing the roof, and then realize halfway through the project that there’s some other problem that we didn’t know about or didn’t expect.”

Precinct 1 Commissioner John Cyrier, who has been working on the Judicial Center project since he was appointed to the Court by late Judge H.T. Wright in January, expressed the same sentiments.

“I’m afraid to go in and start patching until we really know what’s wrong,” Cyrier said.

Precinct 2 Commissioner Charles Bullock, who will be retiring at the end of this calendar year, took a different tack on the project.

“I think that we need to do something, but I think there should be a less expensive way to go about it,” he said. “We started this over a year ago, and I think that if we hire people to go in and, say, fix the roof, that they should report it to us if they find other problems.”

Newly-elected Commissioner Fred Buchholtz, who will replace Bullock in January, gave a similar statement, saying that he knows the County is responsible for getting the moisture out of the building, but suggesting “we don’t need to spend a lot of money to do it.”

All told, the three phases of the contract, in terms only of scope development and construction management, will cost $59,595 under the contract with Broaddus & Associates that was approved on 4-1 vote. However, the Court reserved the right to terminate the contract at the end of any phase of the project, depending upon the County’s needs based on the completion of each phase.

“We want to make sure we’re making the best decisions we can with the money we have available,” said Precinct 3 Commissioner Neto Madrigal. “That’s why I think moving forward and having the scope development done now is our best interest.”

Scope development, the first phase of the project, is expected to cost Caldwell County taxpayers $15,623.

In other business:
Several grass fires have erupted throughout Caldwell County, prompting discussion among the Commissioners about the inherent dangers of outdoor burning.

According to Emergency Management Coordinator Jim Parker, the county remains in a position of relatively low danger on the Keetch-Byram Drought Index. However, current weather conditions, including dry, windy days, have called for the need for increased attention to safety when county residents burn outdoors.

While the Court decided not to instate an outdoor burning ban, they did, at Parker’s request, remind county residents that certain liabilities exist when “controlled burns” become grass fires.

“If that fire gets out of control and goes to your neighbor’s property, you might not only be responsible for paying for whatever it destroys, but you might also be cited and pay a fine,” Parker said. He, and the Commissioners, urged caution when burning outdoors.

Additionally, Duesterheft said he was going to keep an eye on the “KBDI-situation,” and may instate an outdoor burning ban prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting on Dec. 13, if the situation warrants an executive order.

Also, the Commissioners agreed to work with the Mineral Springs Baptist Church to abandon and move a portion of Mineral Springs Road (CR 114), in order to increase safety and space for the members of the church.

In brief news:
The Court approved a property owner’s request for a variance to sell 13.6 acres of property in the McMahan area, while retaining just over one acre of land. Both tracts have ample roadway frontage and septic systems attached to the residential property in line with county standards.

They heard reports from the9-1-1 coordinator and the Veterans’ Service Officer.

The County paid bills in the amount of $143,504.89, which included $9,370.86 in indigent legal defense fees and $3,430.17 in indigent health care expenses.

The Caldwell County Commissioners’ Court routinely meets on the second, third and fourth Monday of each month at 9 a.m. in Room 100 of the Caldwell County Courthouse. The meetings are open to the public and interested individuals are encouraged to attend and participate.

John 16:13-14
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.(NIV)

Acts 10:19
While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Simon, three men are looking for you.(NIV)

Acts 13:2
While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”(NIV)

Acts 20:22-23
“And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me.(NIV)

Acts 8:26-35
Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Go south to the road–the desert road–that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the book of Isaiah the prophet. The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.” Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked. “How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth. In his humiliation he was deprived of justice. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth.” The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.(NIV)

Daughter of deceased woman in Bhadrak was raped by accused, says police

Five held for killing 6 priests in Aligarh

Bhadrak: Investigations into the mysterious murder of the woman in Bhadrak district ON Sunday night revealed that the daughter of the deceased person was raped by the accused.

The daughter of the deceased person was raped by the accused, Bhadrak SP Batula Gangadhar on Monday informed.

“The biological samples collected from the crime spot and bedroom hints that the daughter of the deceased woman was sexually assaulted. We have sent the samples to the forensic laboratory for a thorough examination,” the SP said.

The accused might have attacked the woman to death during her attempt to save her daughter from the sexual assault, he added.

The incident took place at Talachitha village under Dhamnagar police limits in the district late last night. The deceased was identified as Bhaktilata Beuria, wife of Rabi Beuria.

According to reports, the youth, identified as Gopinath Mohanty of the same village, knocked the door of the victim’s house. When his wife opened the door, the accused attacked her with a stone leading to her death on the spot.

Hearing her screams, Bhaktilata’s daughter Lijarani rushed to the spot to save her mother but she also became a victim of the attack.

“After thrashing me severely, the youth tied my hands and legs and fled the spot immediately. He had telephoned us from my father’s mobile number before entering our house,” Lijarani had told police this morning.

However, the investigation brought a new twist to the case.

The victim’s husband was not present in the house when the incident took place.

Odisha among top 5 states in power system availability

Bhubaneswar: Odisha has got the recognition as one among top five States in the country in power system availability and reduction in system loss because of the innovative reform measures taken over last years.

This was known from the review of the activities OPTCL and GRIDCO taken by Chief Secretary Aditya Prasad Padhi. Today morning Chief Secretary visited the offices of these two State PSUs and reviewed their activities in two separate meetings held in their respective conference halls.

Secretary Energy-cum- Chairman GRIDCO–cum-CMD OPTCL Hemant Sharma presented the updates and outlined the issues for discussion in these two meetings.

Reviewing the progress, Padhi advised the Officers and Engineers in both the Corporations to cultivate more proficiency in technical and develop a symbiosis model of the two in interest of the people and the State.

Review revealed that because of a series of internal restructuring and reforms in Odisha Power Transmission Corporation Ltd (OPTCL) during last 4 years, the live system availability and supply of quality power to consumers has significantly increased up to 99.98 %. During this period the transmission system loss has also been reduced by 26 points.

It may be pertinent here to mention that 1% reduction in AT & C loss saves around Rs.80 Cr. in power sector. As such, the reform and restructuring measures in the power generation, transmission and distribution sectors OPTCL decided to augment its infrastructure by adding 57 new sub-stations of different capacities ranging from 132 KV to 765 KV during the period.

Weekend Update - Last Weekend of Three

I worked from home Tuesday through Friday last week.  On Thursday, I had some pretty strong contractions, but they never became more frequent than 30 minutes apart.  The doctor recommended rest and fluids.  On Friday morning, everything seemed back to normal, but the doctor still told me to stay low to make it to the scheduled c-section time.

On Saturday, I did very little except travel to see Little Miss play baseball.  I declined an invite to see a movie with Mom and Sister.  The evenings have been very tiring for me, and my entire body has been achy for the last week.  I cleaned the bathroom and put some clothes away though.

On Sunday, I met with my friends for lunch, and it was nice to sit and relax.  The three of an he haven't gotten together in months due to busy schedules.  The restaurant took a picture of the three of us which was really sweet.  Plus, lunch was delicious.  Then, I took Little Miss to skating.  She's learning to skate backwards and is getting really good.  We are so proud of her.  She was a little extra cuddly, but she's excited for her brother to arrive.  She was a little cranky over the weekend, but she did an awesome job pulling herself together.

So, provided the next 10 hours are uneventful, we are prepared for the fourth member of our family.  See you on huge flip side blog!  No 39th week update though the baby is measuring the size of a mini watermelon and, as someone who bought a mini watermelon this week, it seems about right.  We shall see how big he is for sure in a handful of hours!

Welcome Back

I started my blog as an online journal and a photo library of my year abroad spent in Paris and Florence a few years ago. Since then I have maintained and developed it by writing about my holidays, London and style trends.

I’ve been away from my blog for almost a year now. During this time I graduated, spent time with my family in Cyprus, travelled to new destinations, met new people and worked on my career.

Currently writing this post on the train to the North of England, I’m remembering why I created this blog. My friends at university were right – it is hard to keep blogging, having fresh ideas and keeping a following. The important question to ask myself is why I started and why I want to continue. There are so many popular and well-established blogs that one like mine can get lost online. I don’t write and take pictures for anything other than a hobby and to share my experiences to friends and family that I don’t see often enough.

London is where I currently call my home (even though I wish I could spend half of my time here and the rest in Cyprus!) it is a city rich of culture and heritage. I am lucky to call it home and be able to live the city to its full expense. Every day I feel as if a part of it has changed or developed. London brings excitement to a younger crowd, although sometimes can be overwhelming – you just have to make the most of it. New gallery opening, exhibitions, restaurants and bars, nightlife and style keep this city alive and interesting. These things, as well as others are what I will continue to write about…

I have had some negative comments about the title of my blog ‘Privileged Views’, with people sometimes asking why I think I am so ‘Privileged’. At the time when I created it, I thought not a lot of people at my age would be able to live in Paris and Florence and live the lifestyle I did when I was there. The museums, galleries, restaurants, shops, little towns, cute villages, churches…the list goes on is what made the content of my blog.

When I write and edit my posts with photos I have a moment to myself and feel as if I am talking to my friends. This is what a blog should be about. Now I am back, I will keep posting a few things I have lined up. Take a look at older posts and let me know what you think. Below are a few pics of me styling my long waistcoat.

Engineered composite repairs are rapidly gaining traction as an alternative pipeline integrity repair method. These repair systems are being used to repair corrosion, erosion, dents, wrinkle bends, mechanical damage, and other anomalies that commonly occur on pipelines. Composites possess many significant advantages when compared to traditional metallic repairs. One of the most critical benefits of composites is that most composite repairs are fabricated on-site by installing an uncured composite that subsequently cures. This cure-in-place approach enables the production of repairs that can conform to complex geometries. Conformability allows for the reinforcement of damaged piping and pressure vessels that were difficult, or impossible, to repair with rigid metallic sleeves. While composites offer improved performance and reduced installation times for complex geometries, the engineering and installation of these repair systems is not as straightforward. Many areas of the methodology used to design composite repair systems are active areas of research. One of the current areas of discussion is the distance a repair must extend past a non-through-wall defect. The current nonmetallic repair standards, ASME PCC-2 Article 4.1 [1] and ISO/TS 24817 [2], suggest that a composite repair should extend a varying length past the defect in each direction, based on either the diameter and thickness of the pipe to be repaired or the stiffness of the composite. For the case of through-wall defects, the design methodology is based on the lap-shear strength of the composite and generally leads to repairs that extend farther beyond the defect when compared with non-through wall repiars. For this damage scenario, the presence of an extended repair area is considered an additional factor of safety. However, for non-leaking external defects, there is some debate as to whether the standard-prescribed, minimum repair length is required. This paper investigates a comparison of the minimum repair length required by ASME PCC-2 Equation 17 versus a shorter overlap length of 2 inches. Finite Element Analysis is used to model the difference in the two repair approaches. The FEA model is then verified by a hydrotest on a full-scale spool repair. Six specimens are machined to 75% wall loss and repaired with an engineered composite solution. The defect design for these repairs is adopted from guidance in ASME PCC-2. After installation of the repair, the pipe spool is then subjected to a hydrotest to 100% SMYS. After the 100% SMYS test, the specimens were ruptured in order to compare the ultimate strengths of the two repair approaches. All test results are compared using appropriate statistical approaches to determine significance (α = 0.05).
