Having problems with your HP Pavilion tx1000z Notebook ?

Blank screen on the HP tx1000

\015 I have spent the day on the Phone with HP upper management office. To be honest they look at you as ONLY 1% of whom they sold the tx1000 Per DAVIDnotebooks. Since you are ONLY 1% HP care less on you and your problem, just pay them more money to get it fixed or buy another nice HP notebook. But David feels it you didn't pay them for a extended warranty, that you need is your problem and not HP problem. Next time buy a Dell your laptop would be still working. HP feel they have your money so they don't need you for anything, but to buy more defected\015

Answers :

I hear your complaint, but you haven't discribed the problem.
\015\012When you plug in the power adapter and press on the power button, there is no signs of life at all. The laptop will not make usual noises, LEDs will not light up, the fan will not spin, the screen is blank and black, etc… In short, the laptop is dead.
\015\012What you can do in this case?
\015\0121. Make sure the wall outlet is working and the laptop DC adapter is getting power from the outlet. Try another wall outlet.
\015\0122. Test the laptop DC power adapter, make sure the voltage output is correct. You can test the DC power adapter with a voltmeter.
\015\0123. Let’s say the DC adapter is fine and the adapter outputs correct voltage. In this case unplug the power adapter from the laptop, remove the battery, wait for 1-2 minutes, plug in the adapter and try turning on the laptop again.
\015\012These are the first steps to take to get to the root of the problem.

I don’t need to convince you of the importance of gathering the extended family to form a family reunion and yet these events can be very stressful and overwhelming. Moms need to remember to show themselves some mercy as they plan and execute a reunion and remember to extend this mercy to others! Family reunions can highlight the best and worst of times in family life so remember that God’s mercy is the most important gift we can bring to our relatives.

Mercy is a sign that our Catholic Faith is real and active in our life. For many of the family members gathered this might be the first time they have met you married, with children or with LOTS of children.
Now, practically speaking, here are a few tips to help you have a wonderful time and help your Catholic family put their best foot forward no matter who shows up!

  1. Set Your Mass Schedule Ahead of Time: Be clear with family and extended family: we will be at Mass no matter what. When a specific Mass is selected it doesn’t allow for misunderstandings. You might be surprised who else would like to join you. If you are clear in your communication and do not spring Mass on family at the last minute, there is no room for hurt feelings and confusion. Consider sending this text or email out ahead of time.
  2. Consider Praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy: Invite others to join you in the powerful and quick prayer of the Divine Mercy Chaplet. This beautiful prayer is easy to teach and “user friendly.”
  3. Quality vs Quantity: Nobody wants to see your toddler in a complete meltdown late in the evening or a child who is in desperate need of a nap and you do not step away to provide it for them. Just because family has gathered does not mean you are required to step in line with everyone else. One piece of solid advice I received years ago is to always leave 15 minutes before a major meltdown. Quality time is a blessing and should be cherished but know your children’s limits and keep their needs in mind.
  4. Stay In Touch Throughout the Year: Thanks to modern technology we are just a click away from extended family who live around the country. Consider using social media, texting, phone calls and email to share updated pictures and achievements with your family. When we maintain ongoing communication it takes the stress off family reunions and allows people to be more charitable. When we just connect as an extended family once or twice a year we can lack the proper compassion and understanding of dynamics.
  5. Stay in Budget: As a mother with seven children, I know that despite it being a special gathering we can’t blow our budget to see family. Know your family budget before you agree to the vacation or family gathering. Nothing is worse than a credit card full of charges that leave your family more stressed than when you arrived! Proper planning and budgeting can really help.
  6. Bring Your Own Fun: It is not fair to the children or those there to expect other people to entertain them for the course of the family gathering. Many reunions are not small child friendly, so consider picking up new coloring books, football, playing cards, chalk, board games, crayons, paint and even some cheap new toys to help the children have fun. This is especially true when staying in a hotel as it is our job as moms to plan fun and make sure young children are set up for success.
  7. Remember to Check Your Children’s Bags: One time I remember my five-year-old had nothing but t-shirts for a four-day reunion! Despite how old they are make sure they clearly understand the expectation of the type of dress they need to have in their bags. Nothing is worse than when a child is not properly dressed for family pictures, swimming pools, day trips and family gatherings. With such a large family we now do one load of laundry while away when we travel just to keep packing to a minimum. If that is the case for you, pack detergent.
    They Will Know You Are a Christian By Your Love: Charity is one of the most important virtues required of us, especially when interacting with extended family. Remember to be charitable in your actions, words and deeds. Despite our difficulties with extended relatives, it is essential that you learn how to extend this charity to others; it will go a long way.
  8. A Time To Remember: Reunions are wonderful opportunity to get to know family members and better understand their life and upbringing. These types of gatherings can be windows to the past, so remember to ask questions and gain a clear understanding of how this family was raised. You are not in any way endorsing or agreeing to doing the same techniques or style with your children but these types of moments and conversations are priceless and well worth investing in. Consider bringing family pictures to share with others!
  9. Nobody Can Read Your Mind: If “reunioning” is causing you to feel stressed and overwhelmed, take time out to regroup. Consider checking in with your spouse and let him know how you are doing. Nothing is worse than holding resentment over the people we are called to love and they have no idea!
  10. Know your limits: if you need a break – take it, if you need a special treat – eat it, if you need a walk walk it, if you need a long drive – drive it; most importantly, if you need more graces – pray for them. The fact is, reunions can be stressful, but family is a wonderful gift for generations to come!

Sunset Cliffs Best Solar Companies In

So, what exactly is involved in calculating solar panels cost in Sunset Cliffs? When thinking about solar power very few people know the way the cost of solar panel systems is actually measured. Or even, for that matter, do we automatically grasp the connection relating to the cost of solar power and the value of solar power. We all know that gasoline prices are in dollars per gallon. We likewise are all aware of approximately how far we’ll be able to drive after spending 40 bucks for a tank of gas. In contrast to a tank of gas, the value of which can be consumed pretty much instantly, solar panels deliver their value across a period of time.

How Much Does It Cost To Install A Solar Panel

Sunset Cliffs 3 Undervalued Solar Leaders

Solar Panel image by kuhar from Although it comes with a steep price tag, building your own solar energy system comes with many benefits. Depending on how much installation you do yourself, your payback period can be dramatically reduced. Building your own system requires advanced knowledge of home-improvement techniques, including electrical, circuitry and roofing. This project may take four to five full days of work, depending on how large of a system you are installing. Things You'll Need Pen Paper Solar panel kit Mounts Silicone with caulking gun Power drill Heat gun Charge controller Deep cycle batteries Insulated electrical wire AC inverter Wire strippers Soldering iron Adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing Electrical tape Write down on a sheet of paper the appliances that you are desiring to operate with solar power. Write out the total amp rating of each appliance as well as the number of hours that each appliance will operate throughout the day. Multiply the the amp rating for each appliance by the number of hours you plan to operate it. This number will indicate the total amp hours that you need to provide through your solar power system. Generally, the total amp hours from your appliances should equal no more than 50 percent of the total capacity of your battery bank. For example, if you plan to use your appliances for 200 amp hours on a daily basis, your battery bank should a charge up to 400 amp hours. This will help to determine the number of batteries that you need, however, the amperage on deep cycle batteries vary depending on which product you purchase for your system. Mount the solar panels on the south-facing portion of your roof-top by using a power drill and the mounting kits provided with the solar panels. Solar panels should be angled so that they match the latitude of your location, plus or minus 15 degrees depending on seasonal adjustments for the height of the sun. For example, if you live at a location where the latitudinal coordinate is 30 degrees, the panels should be mounted 30 degrees from horizontal. If your kit includes the ability to change the angle at which the solar panels are mounted, you should add an additional 15 degrees during summer months and subtract 15 degrees in the winter, when the sun's height is lower in the sky for a shorter duration of time. Solder 12 gauge electrical wiring to the two output terminals found on the side of the solar panel. The black 12 gauge wire should continue from the positive terminal of the solar panel and the white wire should connect with the negative terminal. Use the green wire to connect to the solar panel's frame as a way to ground the wire. Expose at least one inch of the copper wire by stripping the sheath of the two wires you are joining together. Twist the two wires being joined together into an "X," wrapping the first wire's end along the length of the second wire until the first wire's end is completely wrapped around the second wire. Repeat the same process for the second wire. Heat the joint by holding the soldering iron beneath the wire joint. Apply the soldering iron and solder to the top part of the joint, adding more of the soldering wire until the joint is completely covered with solder and the exposed wires are no longer visible. Wrap adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing around the newly soldered joint, heating it tubing with a heat gun until it covers the solder. Connect the ends of the extended wiring coming from the solar panels to a charge controller, which has screw-on connections for input wires. The charge controller prevents the deep-cycle batteries from becoming overloaded, thus reducing the maintenance and cost of your solar power system. The charge controller should also be stored adjacent to the batteries. Wire the deep-cycle batteries together so that they form a circuit by using either a parallel or series pattern. Use 8-gauge wire to connect the batteries. To connect the batteries into a series circuit, which doubles the voltage of the system, wire the negative terminal of one battery to the positive terminal of its adjacent battery. Continue this pattern until all terminals are connected. To connect the batteries into a parallel circuit (which doubles the amperage of the system) connect the positive terminal of one battery to the positive terminal of its adjacent battery. Do the same for the negative terminals on your deep-cycle batteries as well. Install the input wires from the AC inverter, which are equipped with screw-on joints to mate with the battery terminals. The inverter will change the Direct Current from the batteries to Alternating Current, which is a usable form of electricity that home appliances utilize. Connect the ends output cables of the charge controller to the deep-cycle battery circuit. The charge controller's output cables, black for negative and red for positive, also screw onto the battery terminals with a screwdriver.

Tips & Warnings Currently, the 3-stage charge controller is the industry standard, however, using a Maximum Power Point Tracking controller will provide greater efficiency, especially if you are installing a larger system. Although a solar system is quite complicated to build, thinking of it in terms of "layers" may be helpful. The sun powers the solar cells, which are connected to a charge controller, which connect to the batteries, which connect to an inverter.

3 Undervalued Solar Leaders

solar cell research image by Albert Lozano from If you go camping or hunting, or simply want to reduce your electricity bill, then a solar panel might make a good investment for you. Solar panels can charge batteries and run tools and appliances, all for free. They require no fuel, and because they have no moving parts, they need very little in the way of repair and maintenance. The only cost associated with solar panels is the up-front purchase cost. Even this can be reduced by making your own solar panels at home. Things You'll Need Solar cells Sheet of plywood Saw Narrow wooden strips Electrically conductive glue Spool of wire Wire cutters with wire-stripping attachments Silicone caulk Calculate the number of solar cells you will need to make your solar panel. Different cells provide different voltages. Divide the voltage you want your panel to produce by the voltage rating of your solar cells. This will give you the number of cells you need to produce 12 volts. Add a couple volts' worth of cells to this number to eliminate the danger of backcharging, which can damage your solar panel. Cut the plywood into a size just large enough to hold all the cells you need for your panel. Glue the narrow wooden strips all around the perimeter of the plywood you have cut. After your cell is assembled, these will hold up the Plexiglas cover to protect your panel from damage. Leave a small gap between two of the strips to run the wires out of the panel. Attach the solar cells to the panel of plywood, using the electrically conductive glue. Leave a small amount of this glue peeking above the top of each cell in order to form an electric link to the terminals on the bottoms of the cells. This edge of glue will be referred to as the "negative terminal" of each cell. Cut 6-inch lengths of wire from your spool of wire, using the wire cutters. Make as many short wires as there are cells in your panel, minus one. Remove 1 inch of insulation from one end of each wire, and 3 inches from the other ends, using the wire cutters. Glue the 3-inch-bare ends of these wires to the tops of the solar cells. Do not let any glue run from the top of the cell and touch the negative terminal of that cell. Do not let any bare wire touch the negative terminals of the cells. Leave the final cell without a short wire on top. Glue each of these wires to the exposed glue peeking over the edge of the cell next to it, after having allowed the glue on the other ends to dry. Allow this glue to dry. Cut two 3-foot sections of wire off the spool. Remove 1 inch of insulation from each end. Glue one to the negative terminal of the first cell, the one without any wire connected to it. Glue the other to the top of the cell on the other end, without any wire on top. Other People Are Reading How to Make a Solar Panel How to Make Homemade Solar Power Run the long wires out through the gap between the wooden strips. Glue them to the sides of the solar panel so that there is no possibility they will touch each other, which could short out your panel. Cut the Plexiglas sheet to match the size of your panel. Glue it to the top of the wooden strips. When the glue is dry, seal all the edges with silicone caulk to protect it from water. Tips & Warnings You can increase the power of your panel without changing the voltage by building other panels identical to the first. Connect their negative terminal wires to the negative terminal wire of the first panel, and their positive terminal wires (the wires connected to the top of the last solar cell) to the positive terminal wires of the first panel.

CORRECTED: Ancient Maya sacrificed boys not virgin girls: study

Corrects headline to say "sacrificed."

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The victims of human sacrifice by Mexico's ancient Mayans, who threw children into water-filled caverns, were likely boys and young men not virgin girls as previously believed, archeologists said on Tuesday.

The Maya built soaring temples and elaborate palaces in the jungles of Central America and southern Mexico before the Spanish conquest in the early 1500s.

Maya priests in the city of Chichen Itza in the Yucatan peninsula sacrificed children to petition the gods for rain and fertile fields by throwing them into sacred sinkhole caves, known as "cenotes."

The caves served as a source of water for the Mayans and were also thought to be an entrance to the underworld.

Archeologist Guillermo de Anda from the University of Yucatan pieced together the bones of 127 bodies discovered at the bottom of one of Chichen Itza's sacred caves and found over 80 percent were likely boys between the ages of 3 and 11.

The other 20 percent were mostly adult men said de Anda, who scuba dives to uncover Mayan jewels and bones.

He said children were often thrown alive to their watery graves to please the Mayan rain god Chaac. Some of the children were ritually skinned or dismembered before being offered to the gods, he said.

"It was thought that the gods preferred small things and especially the rain god had four helpers that were represented as tiny people," said de Anda.

"So the children were offered as a way to directly communicate with Chaac," he said.

Archeologists previously believed young female virgins were sacrificed because the remains, which span from around 850 AD until the Spanish colonization, were often found adorned with jade jewelry.

It is difficult to determine the sex of skeletons before they are fully matured, said de Anda, but he believes cultural evidence from Mayan mythology would suggest the young victims were actually male.

Mobile phones eavesdrop on Aussie koalas

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian scientists are using mobile telephones to eavesdrop on koalas to understand what they are saying when they bellow and how this can help conserve the marsupial which is threatened by habitat destruction.

The researchers tagged koalas on St Bees Island off northeast Australia with satellite tracking devices to monitor movements and placed mobile telephones in the trees which are programed to turn on every 30 minutes and record for two minutes.

The mobiles, charged by solar power and car batteries, record the koala bellows, then download the recordings to a computer at the University of Queensland in Brisbane.

"Koala bellows can go from really quite short, sharp, and quite agitated sounding bellows to long, slow, deep bellows that can last for over a minute," said researcher Bill Ellis.

"Interestingly most of the bellowing seems to occur around midnight, not around dawn or dusk when we thought it might've occurred," he said on Tuesday.

Ellis said he was studying whether male koalas communicate by bellowing to each other to mark out territory and whether bellowing was used to attract females during breeding season.

"Over the breeding season males are quiet active at the start but their movements die down and females have a spike in movement somewhere in the breeding season," Ellis said.

"After a male and female encounter, and we can't see what they are doing, the female lets out a high-pitched scream and immediately after the male emits a loud bellow," he said.

Ellis said results from his study could help manage koala populations by informing wildlife officials when is the best time to introduce new animals to a population and when is best time to allow changes to koala habitats such as urban development.

Wild Lions Live in Constant Fear

Some lions in the wild now live within a "landscape of fear" as a result of threats posed by humans.

Lions have drastically changed the way they behave and perceive their environment because of new, numerous and deadly clashes with humans, according to a new study, published in the Journal of Applied Ecology.

"The 'landscape of fear' represents relative levels of predation risk as peaks and valleys that reflect the level of fear of predation an animal experiences in different parts of its territory," lead author Marion Valeix of the University of Oxford's Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, told Discovery News.

She and colleagues Graham Hemson, Andrew Loveridge, Gus Mills and David Macdonald explained that most prey animals live within a fearful mindset which keeps them on a constant, stressed out watch. Now even high-level predators may live this way too when they exist in or around human-dominated landscapes.

The researchers studied the behavior, foraging and territory of lions living in one of the last natural migratory systems, the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park in Botswana, where abundant packs of Burchell's zebra and blue wildebeest live in different parts of the park on a seasonal basis.

Lands used by people for grazing their livestock surround the protected wilderness area. This creates a human-lion conflict, since when the zebra and wildebeest move en masse out of lion areas, many lions will resort to hunting livestock, such as cattle, to avoid losing established territories and reproductive loss, among other reasons.

GPS tracking of the lions determined that the major driver of lion behavior was the risk of conflict with humans. While the herders in Botswana do not always have easy access to firearms, some do.

Mass Wildlife Die-Off Events

On New Year's Eve, over 3,000 red-winged blackbirds inexplicably plummeted to their deaths from the skies over Arkansas. They may have struck something while in the air such as lightning or hail. It is also possible that the ground itself caused their deaths, and they were merely rendered unconscious while flying by some mysterious force. According to the USGS National Wildlife Health Center and the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, they were spooked into flying into trees and houses.

On the last day of the year, officials believe, the birds were startled by loud noises (fireworks, parties?). This caused them to fly erratically into objects on the land. The USGS team conducted necropsies (animal autopsy) on the dead blackbirds and found internal hemorrhaging, the kind caused by impact trauma. Tests for pesticides in their systems came up negative.

Mass die-offs may seem rare, but according to the USGS, they are not entirely uncommon. "Although wildlife die-offs always pose a concern, they are not all that unusual," said Jonathan Sleeman, director of the USGS NWHC in Madison, Wis., which is completing its analyses of the Arkansas and Louisiana birds. "It's important to study and understand what happened in order to determine if we can prevent mortality events from happening again."

Last year, there were eight wildlife die-off events in which over 1,000 birds died suddenly. In the past ten years, there were 188 such events in the United States. The largest took place in Utah where 50,000 birds died of avian botulism. In Idaho, 20,000 died of the same disease, and in Washington 10,000 died from a toxic algal bloom.

Other wildlife can also be subject to a mass mortality event, such as the prairie dogs in the American West. A single colony can be completely destroyed by sylvatic plague. The prairie dog deaths then affect the endangered black-footed ferret which preys on them. The USGS is working to administer plague vaccinations to the prairie dogs through bait.

Even though mass die-off events are common, none should be ignored. The diseases that often cause them could pose harm to human populations. The USGS National Wildlife Health Center is actively involved in investigation each incident, looking for diseases like West Nile virus or Avian Influenza. Through greater understanding, it is possible to contain and even prevent such events from occurring.

Coffee Talk: Building Company Culture Across Dispersed Teams

Here in sunny Singapore, we’ve been experiencing a fast-growing café scene over the past several years. With new cafes popping out relentlessly every other week, coffee lovers are pretty much spoilt for choice, and even the tea-drinkers like me.

In a sea of cafés across this tiny island-state, it’s indeed tough to stand out in the crowd. You can’t just compete on good coffee and food, because bar none that’s minimal requirement these days. Customers desire more: discerning café enthusiasts have come to expect an experience; quirky distinctions that affirm that they’re not just at a regular café, but they’re at the café.

So I think the company’s culture plays a huge part in getting people to sip coffee at their cafe over all the others – time and time again. (More so than funny ads, an aggressive use of Instagram and Twitter, or new products and promotions.)

Transgelin-one is also linked with the suppression of cancer metastasis and tumor development

Transgelin-1 is also linked with the suppression of most cancers metastasis and tumor development. By contrast, transgelin-two is upregulated in specified tumors and may be involved in tumor development. Even so, none of the transgelin family members users have been documented to be connected with inflammatory diseases. Substantial expression of transgelin-2 in T-cells and B-cells suggests that this modest actin-stabilizing protein is concerned in immune illnesses. Thus, transgelin-2 could be a likely therapeutic concentrate on for particular immune issues like irritation, hypersensitivity, rheumatoid arthritis, and experimental allergic encephalomyelitis. The existing outcome may possibly also be relevant in the area of T cell immunotherapy. For example, most T mobile immunotherapies are targeted on controlling T mobile features, which 1300118-55-1 cost contain chimeric antigen receptors, TCR transgenes, signaling domains, and chemokine receptors. Boosting IS security by managing the actin cytoskeletons of APCs may be another aim for T mobile immunotherapy.Proteins that bind the sides of filaments to stabilize F-actin are also associated in actin dynamics. For instance, epithelial protein missing in neoplasm inhibits the branching nucleation of actin filaments via the Arp2/three complicated and encourages the development of stable actin filament buildings this kind of as tension fibers. Bacterial protein SipA, which is needed for the effective entry of Brivanib Salmonella typhimurium into host cells, also stabilizes F-actin. SipA induces in depth polymerization under low-salt conditions, in which spontaneous nucleation and polymerization do not happen. A putting observation is that, like SipA protein, transgelin family members associates can extensively polymerize G-actin , suggesting that transgelin might have yet another perform in addition to stabilizing F-actin. In this regard, we just lately identified that transgelin-2 is more than-induced in reaction to LPS in macrophages and that transgelin-2-deficient macrophages have decreased ruffle development . As membrane ruffling in macrophages is critical for their phagocytic action, we are presently investigating whether transgelin-two is also concerned in macrophage purpose, especially phagocytosis.In summary, we discovered that the function of transgelin-2 in B-cells at first appears insignificant when in comparison with that in T-cells. Nonetheless, a deficiency of transgelin-2 in B-cells resulted in attenuated T-cell operate. Though the mechanism by which transgelin-2 in B-cells supports T-mobile function demands further study, stabilizing the IS could be a vital system for T-mobile function. Long term studies with in vivo types using intra-important or multiphoton microscopy will be essential to corroborate our in vitro results.Capsular contracture is the most common prolonged-expression complication right after silicone-based mostly breast augmentation. Incidence ranges from five to fifty five% based on research kind and follow-up time period. To date, the only proven remedy is surgical incision or resection of the fibrous capsule, which requires the elimination of the implant in most cases. Non-surgical methods to overcome capsular contracture have unsuccessful owing to absence of performance or unbearable aspect outcomes.In accordance to current literature, improvement of capsular contracture is dependent on subclinical an infection due to biofilm development on the implants surface and foreign entire body reaction to the silicone content by itself, amid others. The two mechanisms sustain a continual inflammatory reaction, which stimulates fibroblast proliferation and differentiation into myofibroblasts. The latter have contractile houses and are capable of an too much synthesis of collagen, which is the main component of the fibrous envelope.

Welcome to another edition of the Fan Central Mailbag. Remember, if you have an ESPN-related question, follow us @ESPN_FanCentral and use #FanCentralMB to tweet your questions. You can also e-mail them to [email protected].

I would like to know what the title 30 for 30 means. Does it have a meaning or is it something just made up? — Ron

The original 30 for 30 film series (now referred to as Volume 1) was unveiled in October 2009 to commemorate ESPN’s 30th anniversary. From October 2009 to December 2010, 30 films were shown that detailed the issues, trends, athletes, teams, rivalries, games and events that transformed the sports landscape from 1979 (when ESPN started) to 2009, hence “30 for 30.”

While not tied to a specific anniversary, the “30 for 30” name remained when Volume 2 films premiered this October with Broke and concluded this past Saturday with You Don’t Know Bo, which became ESPN’s highest-rated documentary ever.

And Ron, since you bring it up and since it is the holiday season, we’ll alert folks they can purchase the 30 for 30 Volume 1 box set to ensure you don’t miss any of the incredible films.

How can I get a guided tour of ESPN and how much does it cost? – Dustin
Dustin, your question is a common one, but unfortunately ESPN does not offer individual tours of the Bristol campus. If this policy ever changes, we’ll be sure to let fans know right here on Front Row.

While fans can’t come to Bristol, there are ways we bring Bristol to the fans. For starters, be sure you continue to visit Front Row, where we share an inside look at life in Bristol and beyond. Also, check out @ESPNImages for great photos showcasing life on our Bristol campus and behind-the-scenes images, such as this past week’s comprehensive look at Monday Night Football.

Where can I get information about internships at ESPN? – Kendra
If questions about campus tours are No. 1 on the “Most Asked Questions” list, inquiries about interning and/or working at ESPN are the second most popular questions we get. To find out about internship opportunities, visit the ESPN Careers site and like the ESPN Careers Facebook page. To best get you started on your journey, we recommend watching the 2012 Intern Diaries and visiting the Career Control Room.

What is the name of the song from the latest It’s Not Crazy, It’s Sports commercial – David
Another popular question this week as David and others saw the debut of the Born Into It commercial, which shows that sometimes our biggest rivals — in this case Manchester United and Manchester City fans — are more similar than we like to think.

The song in the commercial is Beginning of the End by the Cockney Rejects. You can check out the commercial below (and yes, translations are available) and then read the behind-the-scenes scoop on what went into filming the popular spot.

Student Housing and Ethnic Segregation at Chico State

This is a rather odd post for a blog which typically addresses national and international issues.  This blog is about my own university, Chico State, in California, which has worked very hard to qualify for federal money to be a “Hispanic Serving Institution.”  This is a good thing, as California is rapidly changing ethnic composition as California has always done in the last 200 years.  The idea is that Chico State will get extra money if it can attract and serve at least 25% full time “Hispanic” students (in California this typically means students who have a family history in Mexico, or Central America who are typically referred to as Chicano or Latino).

Anyway, the administration has worked hard at the “numbers game” part of becoming a Hispanic serving institution, and it is expected that Chico State will qualify for the federal money next year.  However, the problem is that this is primarily a numbers game of “attract the student,” and then you get the big bucks in exchange.  Nothing is said about what you will do with the students once they arrive.  Which is where this blog begins.

What to do with the many new Latino students?  Will there be classes to serve them, and can they be integrated into campus life?  And where will they be housed?  This last question is the subject I want to address via some recently released statistics from the campus housing office.  You see, the answer is typically that they will be housed with the other students in the on-campus dormitories.   There are several kinds of dorms at Chico State.  There are the traditional dorms near the dining commons in the center of class (which are more expensive), and the cheaper dorms, which have kitchens and no dining services, and are located one mile away from campus.  One set of dorms is at the center of the action on-campus, and the other is a mile away, on the other side of the railroad tracks.  Guess where the newly recruited Latino students tend to end up?

Anyway, rumors have been floating around campus for several years that the more distant dorms at University Village (UV) had higher rates of Latino students living there, than in the main dorms like Whitney Hall on campus.  But hard data about how exactly this institutional bias might be was not forthcoming. Until last week.  Last week, the issue was raised by a professor at the public Academic Senate meeting.  There was a great deal of murmuring at the meeting that this should not be, and the head of Institutional Research piped up that he would find out as soon as possible.  And he did.  The statistics are below.  And, it looks like the off-campus dormitories are just 22% White, while the on-campus dorms like Whitney Hall are just over 50% White.  The good news of course is that so many of the students housed at Chico State are non-White in a state and campus that was in recent decades 80 to 85% white.  The bad news is that Chico State housing is now segregated by both race, and economic status.

The Table below gives you a rough idea of how this segregation works at Chico State.  University Village seems is where the HIspanic and Black students are most likely to end up, while Asian students are clustered in particular dorms as well. Whitney, Lassen and Shasta, Sutter Halls, and North Campus are all much “Whiter “ This can be seen most easily by comparing the percentages in the table below.  International students, most of whom at Chico State are from Asia and the Middle East, are also almost completely isolated at the off-campus dorms.

At least as important is the segregation of the economically disadvantaged students in University Village.  This can be seen by looking at the statistics for students on Pell Grants (an indicator of lower income), and students who are “first generation” college students.  Again, there is a segregation of students, with the contrasting demographic characteristics.

Anyway, that is briefly the news from Chico State.  Embedded in this data are more complex ethnographic stories of how racial segregation, and positive and negative privilege persists not only at Chico State, but in California and the United States.  Even in the case of the best intentions, institutions revert to older patterns of segregation and exclusivity.

Songs about best friend dating ex girlfriend dress up games dating friends sleepover makeover game 797

Dealing with your feelings Being supportive Working around awkward situations Community Q&A Breaking up can be hard and is even harder in that odd situation where your friend starts dating him or her after you broke up.

Dealing with this awkward arrangement will likely bring about a roller-coaster of feelings and fears but it is great that you've decided to deal with it rather than ignore it.

songs about best friend dating ex girlfriend-34

This rule is only void if the woman in question ranks an 8 or above.

No man may deny his friends, in order to spend time with any woman.

This is by far the most important rule of the man laws and must be obeyed.

If it is found that she has more than one "Man", all titles are null and void, and it is considered bad form to continue to spend time with her.

No man shall settle for second best in a relationship with a woman.

(i.e., the woman would rather be dating someone else but decides to "settle" for you.) Upon finding out on his second best status, a man has one month to take the lead.

If this goal cannot be met he must put an end to the relationship.

If it is clearly stated that you are her friend, a man shall move on.

The friend zone is purgatory or in some cases hell- sheer agony with little chance of escape. Furthermore, no man should date a woman over twice his age, minus 14.

If a woman is taken, no man who does not claim the title of "Her Man" may spend time alone with her.

The title of "Her Man" may only be given by the aforementioned woman.

The US Sucks

That is, when it comes to healthcare and meaningful medical investigations.

This just in. Canada has made a breakthrough in the fight against multiple sclerosis.  A DNA vaccine is proving safe and probably effective in a Canadian trial sample.

The vaccine works by preventing the immune system from attacking the myelin sheaths that protect nerve cells in the brain and spine.  That's the basic source of the degenerative disorder, as the damaged nerves no longer properly transmit their impulses.  This is big news folks - Canada did this, and they don't even have their own Labor Day telethon!

Meanwhile, the US pharmaceutical industry spends it's amazing profits doing things like lobbying to prevent the spread of home-grown marijuana to soothe cancer treatment pains and nausea, and of course the well-known treatment of glaucoma. They couldn't control and profit from home grown marijuana, so they want to ban it.

The idea that the current US medical conglomerates would actually cure anything, and eliminate the related sales of medicines that fuel this unholy money engine... well that's just crazy talk.  Almost as crazy as socialized medicine, another winning program in Canada, and most large nations throughout the world.

The same Canadian treatment has promise to work with diabetes, lupus, myasthenia gravis and rheumatoid arthritis, which (you guessed it) all provide lots and lots of money in "maintenance" treatments for the stockholders in US drug manufacture.

How's it feel America?  We're beaten by Canada!  Are you going to sit back and take that?
