Statesville Record & Landmark

Statesville Record & Landmark is an American, English language daily newspaper based in Statesville, North Carolina.

The newspaper is owned by Berkshire Hathaway.

The Statesville Record & Landmark is the newspaper of record for Statesville and has been serving the city and Iredell County, North Carolina since June 19, 1874 when it was a weekly called the Landmark.

It has been published seven days a week since 1920.

History
The first editor and publisher was John B. Hussey.

Hussey sold the paper to J.Sherman Ramsey in 1877 but remained the editor.

In 1880 Ramsey sold the paper to Joseph Pearson Caldwell, Jr., son of Joseph Pearson Caldwell, Sr..  Under Caldwell's leadership, the newspaper maintained a progressive editorial policy coupled with a fiscally conservative Democratic stance.

In 1892, Caldwell sold half interest in the newspaper to  Rufus Reid Clark, who had been on the staff of the newspaper and was a Mooresville native.

The newspaper began twice weekly publication in 1895--Mondays and Thursdays.

In 1905, Clark bought out Caldwell's share of the paper.

In 1918, Pegram A. Bryant bought the newspaper.

On September 1, 1920, Bryant began an additional publication, a daily version of the newspaper called the Statesville Daily.

A competitor newspaper, The Statesville Record, began semiweekly publication in 1931.

This newspaper had several owners until 1938 when Chester E. Middlesworth bought the paper and turned it into a daily publication in 1941.

In 1948, this newspaper became the first North Carolina newspaper to utilize the new Fairchild scanning engraving system, which allowed the paper to be readied for publication within minutes rather than hours.

In 1953, the Landmark and the Statesville Daily were purchased by the Statesville Daily Record and merged into one daily afternoon publication, the Statesville Record and Landmark.

Park Communications bought the Statesville Record and Landmark in September 1979.

Media General acquired Park Communications in 1997.

In 2012, Media General sold the newspaper to Berkshire Hathaway.

The Statesville Record & Landmark is a member of the North Carolina Press Association.

Content
The current Statesville Record and Landmark includes the following sections in their online newspaper:  News, Sports, Opinion, Community, Obituaries, Photos, Videos,  Weather and Jobs.

A subscription service offers access to articles back to 1874.

The paper also has an RSS feed, as well as Facebook, and Twitter version.

Among other columns, a local Iredell County historian Homer Maxwell Keever began writing a local history column in the newspaper in the 1940s.

[Iron deficiency anemia and anemia of chronic disorders].

Hypochromic-microcytic anemias are characterized by a hemoglobin deficiency of the erythrocytes.

The main reason for the insufficient hemoglobin synthesis is, with exception of thalassemia and a few other rare conditions, primarily a disorder of iron metabolism.

Differential diagnostic considerations are focused on iron deficiency anemia, with approximately 80% the most common form of anemia worldwide.

Iron deficiency anemia shows a particularly high prevalence in developing countries, but is also in industrialized Western countries the most common cause of anemia.

Infants, toddlers, premenopausal or pregnant women, and elderly people are at particularly high risk of iron deficiency anemia.

The most important differential diagnosis for iron deficiency anemia is the anemia of chronic disorders (ACD).

This anemia is caused by a disturbance of iron utilization (functional iron deficiency), in which iron absorption and iron release, as a nonspecific defense mechanism, is blocked to restrict iron availability for the inflammatory process but also withhold iron from the erythropoiesis.

ACD is not rare, but plays a significant role in hospitalized patients and in the elderly.

The differentiation between ACD and iron deficiency anemia is highly important from a clinical point of view, due to different types of further management.

The cause for iron deficiency should be clarified in each case, whereas the etiology for ACD is often obvious.

The standard treatment of iron deficiency anemia is oral iron supplementation.

Intravenous iron application is reserved for problem patients.

The best treatment for ACD is the elimination of the underlying chronic disorder.

In case of persistent ACD, red blood cell transfusions, erythropoietin, and intravenous iron are used therapeutically.


2,4,6-Trinitroaniline

2,4,6-Trinitroaniline, C6H4N4O6, abbreviated as TNA and also known as picramide, a nitrated amine.

Materials in this group range from slight to strong oxidizing agents.

If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation.

The aromatic nitro compounds may explode in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide even in the presence of water or organic solvents.

The explosive tendencies of aromatic nitro compounds are increased by the presence of multiple nitro groups.

The appearance of trinitroaniline varies from yellow to orange to red depending on its purity and concentration.

Applications/Uses
Trinitroaniline is only used in modern times in the small warheads of some explosive devices such as mortars.

In World War II it was used by Imperial Japanese Navy as Type 97 bakuyaku (Model 1931 explosive) in some versions of gun projectiles instead of less stable burster schimose.

It was also used in the Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka, a kamikaze antishipping human-guided rocket aircraft.

Health and safety
Trinitroaniline is dangerously explosive.

Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include skin and eye irritation, headache, drowsiness, weakness, cyanosis, and respiratory distress.

Shi Yuanshi came from the fourth generation of the family, who was a successful businessman and a good household manager, and the residence was thus enlarged for several times until it acquired the present scale.

Beauty finds refuge in herself. Lovers wrapped inside each others lies. Beauty is such a terrible thing. She is suffering yet more than death. She is suffering. She sucks you deeper in. She is suffering. You exist within her shadow. Beauty she is scarred into man's soul. A flower attracting lust vice and sin. A vine that can strangle life from a tree. Carrion surrounding picking on leaves. She is suffering. She sucks you deeper in. She is suffering. You exist within her shadow. Beauty she poisons unfaithful all. Stifled her touch is leprous and pale. The less she gives the more you need her. No thoughts to forget when we were children. She is suffering. She sucks you deeper in. She is suffering. Nature's lukewarm pleasure.

Look I'm standing naked before you. Don't you want more than my sex. I can scream as loud as your last one. but I can't claim innocence. Oh god could it be the weather. Oh god why am I here. If love isn't forever. and it's not the weather. Hand me my leather. I could just pretend that you love me. The night would lose all sense of fear. but why do I need you to love me. when you can't hold what I hold dear. Oh god could it be the weather. Oh god why am I here. If love isn't forever. and it's not the weather. Hand me my leather. I almost ran over an angel. He had a nice big fat cigar. "In a sense" he said "you're alone here. So if you jump you best jump far. Oh god could it be the weather. Oh god why am I here. If love isn't forever. and it's not the weather. Oh god could it be the weather. Oh god it's all very clear. If love isn't forever. and it's not the weather. Hand me my leather.


This is our town this is Friday night. Dressed in our rags and our rage and our best. Piercing eyes looking for something - anything anyone.. Stare across the floor as they begin to dance. Missing all the rhythms and the chosen right steps. And we laugh and we drink in our corner again. We're better than them. Divided we were born divided we live. Divided we fall divided we die. Still we tell ourselves over and over again. We're better than them. With our hunger and our hatred we all walk this town. With our fear and our weakness - just holding on. With our doubt and our emptiness and this cold cold frown. We've got to be so important we'll put the whole damn world down. And we build the walls that we can hide behind. And our finest weapon is our poisoned pride. Here in this town where the jealousies burn. We're watching you. 'Cause truth is only what we need it to be. To bring us survival through each and every day. When nowhere is safe and nowhere is home - just be cool. And what was she wearing and what did he say?. Who goes with who and what did they do?. We tell ourselves over and over again.


Yeah you really tried. But I was blind. to all the lies you told me oh. All the shit you've done. You can't outrun the way you understand me. You acted like you bought me. at a bargain sale. You don't even care. You focused your frustration on a small detail. Blew it out of scale like my ponytail. Well if you don't want to see. the girl I want to be. Then why then why should I listen. If you don't want to do. the things I need from you. Goodbye goodbye. 'Cause I gave it away. I gave it away I gave it away. And I'm taking it right back. I'm no blow up doll no free-for-all. No slave to your decision ooh. Gotta find a way to break the spell. To get the hell away. from those who block my vision. You used me as a fragment. of your grand design hey. And you you don't get to put me. on your bottom line. You don't get what's mine and I'm doing fine. Said you don't want to see. the girl I want to be. Then why then why would I listen?. You don't want to do. the things I need from you. Goodbye goodbye. I gave it away. I gave it away I gave it away. I'm taking it right back baby. Well if you don't want to see. the girl I want to be. Then why then why should I listen. If you don't want to do. the things I need from you. Goodbye goodbye. 'Cause I gave it away. I gave it away I gave it away I gave it away. I'm taking it right back hey. Taking it right back baby. Taking it right back


This may seem all too confusing. How I could walk away from something so rare. But you see it all got too demanding yeah. And I just didn't care I just didn't care if I cared if I cared. Lately I've been left wanting but not wanting you. Attraction that once was is no longer there ooh. And it sucks to be taken for granted. When the veil is drawn and there's only air. I had to walk away. Give up something I love. For what I loved even more. And save my tears for you. Everything has lost its meaning; I had to let it go. To find myself myself and start something new brand new. Forced to look deep in the mirror face who I really am. Now it's just me cause I can't afford you. I had to walk away. Give up something I love. For what I loved even more. And save my tears for you. I gave up something I loved. For what I loved even more. And I saved my tears for you. In a vial and walked away. You were so beautiful to look upon. I could see the light in your smile. Your eyes were the windows into your soul. Your body was heavenly just like the sky. Until all your good looks betrayed you which ain't much. Counted on your counterfeit smiles for too long. Your eyes are empty windows: broken. The body may be here but the soul is gone. I saved my tears for you in a vial. From everything wicked thing that you did that you said. To send away buried with your love. So many tears in a vial now that you're gone and now that you're dead


It's my father's voice dreaming of. Sailors sailing off in the morning. for the air-conditioned rooms. at the top of the stairs. His jaw's been broken. his bandage is wrapped too tight. his fangs have been pulled. and i really want to see you tonight. There's Bourbon on the breath. of the singer you love so much. He takes all his words from the books. that you don't read anyway. His jaw's been broken. his bandage is wrapped too tight. My fangs have been pulled. and I really want to see you tonight. Someone ties a bow. in my backyard to show me love. My voice is climbing walls. smoking and i want love. My jaw's been broken. My heart is wrapped in ice. My fangs have been pulled. and i really want to see you tonight. And it makes no difference to me. how they cried all over overseas. It's hot in the poor places tonight. I'm not going outside. They cried all over overseas. It makes no difference to me. It's hot in the poor places tonight. I'm not going outside.

Articles on Leadership
and Decision Making

Problem Definition
A clear problem definition is the first, and, perhaps, most important step
toward rationally selecting the best alternative.

Many dedicated and intelligent
individuals have produced elegant solutions for problems other than those they
were tasked to solve.

Therefore, a good executive decision maker participates in
problem definition because this step establishes the goal for everything else
that follows and places a premium on professional judgment.

Consensus Team Decision Making
The Westerner and the Japanese man mean something different when they talk of
"making a decision."

In the West, all the emphasis is on the answer to the
question.

To the Japanese, however, the important element in decision making is
defining the question.

The crucial steps are to decide whether there is a need
for a decision and what the decision is about.

And it is in that step that the
Japanese aim at attaining consensus.

Indeed, it is this step that, to the
Japanese, is the essence of decision.

The answer to the question (what the West
considers the decision) follows from its definition.

During the process that
precedes the decision, no mention is made of what the answer might be. . . .

Thus the whole process is focused on finding out what the decision is really
about, not what the decision should be.

Effective Decision Making
One of the critical, but often overlooked, requirements for effective leadership
is sound decision making.

This is especially true as we soar ever higher into
the ranks of middle and upper management.

Typically, as this progression occurs,
leaders become more focused on strategic decisions relating to plans, policies,
programs and personnel, and less consumed with day-to-day tactical concerns.

Good decision making, especially in middle and upper management, will therefore
likely increase overall organizational health and effectiveness.

Understanding
the meaning and art of deciding, therefore, is paramount.

Ethical Decision-Making: The Link Between Ambiguity and
Accountability
A growing body of literature thoroughly examines the topic of ethics in public
service from numerous, contrary, and complementary perspectives.

Ethics in public service is the study of the nature of
morals and moral choices and the rules governing a profession that define
professional conduct (Bruce, 2001, p. xiii).

In answering these questions it becomes
remarkably clear that there are no absolutes.

Nor is there any single school of
thought or theory to guide the inquiry.

Why do we try to understand ethics in
public service?

The answer is clear: because we intuitively know it makes a
difference.

NCOs and Values-Based Decision Making
In the Army of One, senior leaders look to the NCO Corps to embrace a value
system that develops character and to lead soldiers.

The Army depends on its
NCOs to create the environment and set the tempo for success in full-spectrum
operations.

Successful NCOs anticipate change, exploit every opportunity to meet
the units objectives and motivate their subordinates to higher levels of
productivity to achieve the units goals.

Successful sergeants promote Army
Values and take care of soldiers in the process.

In short, they are leaders with
values-based decision-making skills.

Studies in Group Leadership How Should We Decide Elements of
Sound Decision Making
Making decisions and solving problems takes much time and energy.

But most
groups allow little time and energy to selecting a decision-making model or to
evaluating the process once the decision has been reached or a solution
attempted.

Ideally, decisions arise as a result of judgments and reasoning to a
final conclusion, unfortunately, that is not always the case.

Problem solving
involves the organization and arrangement of several decisions so that they will
have some usefulness solving a problem.

Girls Night Out - Smokey Blues

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another makeup look from my Caress Girls Night Out Event.

My friend Karla was wearing a sexy leopard print dress and I wanted to pick makeup that fit the occasion.

To me, animal print can often be a neutral color.

As a result, I went for a smokey eye (can't go wrong with that), but decided to mix it up.

Click here to see more!A lot of people who aren't used to color get a little scared when you try to apply something outside of the neutral category.

The key is to use a "safe" color, in this case silver, and place it on the lid so that it fades into your brighter color.

That way, the whole eye isn't too vibrant, but you can still add color in the middle and outer part of the lid.

I picked more of a royal blue tone so that it would be a bit more wearable.

I used the bright royal blue from my Best of Both World's Yaby Palette.

I also used a darker blue from my Barbie Stila palette as the outer v/contour color.

Karla was one of my last models in my chair.

I think I had about 15 minutes to do her makeup...not too shabby right?

It helps that I have most of my makeup in palettes...it makes for quick mixing and matching.

I loved how it came out...it really made her eyes pop, and I think the guys agreed because they couldn't keep their hands off her at the club, wink wink.

That's all for now, stay tuned for more makeup breakdowns from Caress Girls Night Out event!

While a variety of pillows exist in the market today, none have the specific purpose of simultaneously giving neck and back support, while also allowing adjustment of the firmness, as well as providing a convenient air pump to inflate the pillows for desired firmness and a convenient storage bag.

The present head and chest support kit fills that void.

The kit provides a convenient way to store and carry head and neck support pillows.

In addition, a user can regulate the desired firmness, thus allowing the pillows to be adjusted to the user's constantly changing needs.

The kit comes equipped with a pneumatic pump for quick and easy inflation of the head and chest pillows.

The storage bag gives an excellent place to store the components and a means of carrying them.

I am not aware of any studies comparing the number of words an average person could expect to hear spoken in a typical day 500 years ago vs. the number that can be heard now, but the increase surely is vast.

According to the research I've seen, the average person hundreds of years ago heard many more words over the course of the day compared to a modern human being.


Sultan Abdul Hamid II (1876 1909) tried to apply absolute rule to an empire staggering under a crushing foreign debt, with a fragmented population of hostile people, and succeeded only in creating ill will and dissatisfaction amongst the younger generation of educated Turks.

Introduction

The presence of communication amid scientific minds was equally important to the success of the Manhattan Project as scientific intellect was. The only cloud hanging over the impressive achievement of the atomic researchers and engineers is what their success truly meant; hundreds of thousands of innocent lives obliterated.


The Manhattan Project and its atomic bomb helped bring an end to World War II. Its legacy of peaceful uses of atomic energy continues to have an impact on history and science.


Essay on Impact of the Manhattan Project

Essay on The Manhattan Project - The Manhattan Project The Manhattan Project was to see if making an atomic bomb possible. The success of this project would forever change the world forever making it known that something this powerful can be manmade.


Nor will it attempt to substitute for the extraordinarily rich literature on the atomic bombs and the end of World War II. This collection does not attempt to document the origins and development of the Manhattan Project.


Manhattan Project

Manhattan Project. The Manhattan Project was a research and development undertaking during World War II that produced the first nuclear weapons. It was led by the United States with the support of the United Kingdom and Canada. From 1942 to 1946, the project was under the direction of Major General Leslie Groves of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Nuclear physicist Robert Oppenheimer was the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory that designed the actual bombs. The Army component of the project was designated the


A-Bomb

In June 1942, the United States Army Corps of Engineersbegan the Manhattan Project- The secret name for the 2 atomic bombs.


Environmental Consequences

One of the main reasons Hanford was selected as a site for the Manhattan Project's B Reactor was its proximity to the Columbia River, the largest river flowing into the Pacific Ocean from the North American coast.

Context: Chloroplasts alone make almost all of a plant cell's amino acids in their stroma except the sulfur-containing ones like cysteine and methionine. Cysteine is made in the chloroplast (the proplastid too) but it is also synthesized in the cytosol and mitochondria, probably because it has trouble crossing membranes to get to where it is needed. The chloroplast is known to make the precursors to methionine but it is unclear whether the organelle carries out the last leg of the pathway or if it happens in the cytosol.

Question: Which amino acids contain sulfur?

cysteine and methionine

Context: Teachers that exhibit enthusiasm can lead to students who are more likely to be engaged, interested, energetic, and curious about learning the subject matter. Recent research has found a correlation between teacher enthusiasm and students' intrinsic motivation to learn and vitality in the classroom. Controlled, experimental studies exploring intrinsic motivation of college students has shown that nonverbal expressions of enthusiasm, such as demonstrative gesturing, dramatic movements which are varied, and emotional facial expressions, result in college students reporting higher levels of intrinsic motivation to learn. Students who experienced a very enthusiastic teacher were more likely to read lecture material outside of the classroom.

Question: What is dramatic gesturing an example of?

Context: Sanctifying Grace is that grace of God which sustains the believers in the journey toward Christian Perfection: a genuine love of God with heart, soul, mind, and strength, and a genuine love of our neighbors as ourselves. Sanctifying grace enables us to respond to God by leading a Spirit-filled and Christ-like life aimed toward love. Wesley never claimed this state of perfection for himself but instead insisted the attainment of perfection was possible for all Christians. Here the English Reformer parted company with both Luther and Calvin, who denied that a man would ever reach a state in this life in which he could not fall into sin. Such a man can lose all inclination to evil and can gain perfection in this life.

Question: What is a genuine love of God with heart, soul and mind?

Context: Tesla noted the hazards of working with his circuit and single-node X-ray-producing devices. In his many notes on the early investigation of this phenomenon, he attributed the skin damage to various causes. He believed early on that damage to the skin was not caused by the Roentgen rays, but by the ozone generated in contact with the skin, and to a lesser extent, by nitrous acid. Tesla incorrectly believed that X-rays were longitudinal waves, such as those produced in waves in plasmas. These plasma waves can occur in force-free magnetic fields.

Question: At first what did Tesla think was the main cause of damage to skin cells when they were exposed to X-rays?


Context: John Dalton's original atomic hypothesis assumed that all elements were monatomic and that the atoms in compounds would normally have the simplest atomic ratios with respect to one another. For example, Dalton assumed that water's formula was HO, giving the atomic mass of oxygen as 8 times that of hydrogen, instead of the modern value of about 16. In 1805, Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and Alexander von Humboldt showed that water is formed of two volumes of hydrogen and one volume of oxygen; and by 1811 Amedeo Avogadro had arrived at the correct interpretation of water's composition, based on what is now called Avogadro's law and the assumption of diatomic elemental molecules.[a]

Question: What did John Dalton think that all elements were in number present in compounds?

monatomic monatomic monatomic monatomic monatomic


Context: Tesla also explained the principles of the rotating magnetic field in an induction motor by demonstrating how to make a copper egg stand on end using a device he constructed known as the Egg of Columbus.

Question: Who demonstrated the Egg of Columbus?


Context: Luther wrote "Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir" ("From depths of woe I cry to you") in 1523 as a hymnic version of Psalm 130 and sent it as a sample to encourage evangelical colleagues to write psalm-hymns for use in German worship. In a collaboration with Paul Speratus, this and seven other hymns were published in the Achtliederbuch, the first Lutheran hymnal. In 1524 Luther developed his original four-stanza psalm paraphrase into a five-stanza Reformation hymn that developed the theme of "grace alone" more fully. Because it expressed essential Reformation doctrine, this expanded version of "Aus tiefer Not" was designated as a regular component of several regional Lutheran liturgies and was widely used at funerals, including Luther's own. Along with Erhart Hegenwalt's hymnic version of Psalm 51, Luther's expanded hymn was also adopted for use with the fifth part of Luther's catechism, concerning confession.

Question: When did Luther write the hymn From Depths of Woe I cry to You?


Context: In many countries, there is a Gender pay gap in favor of males in the labor market. Several factors other than discrimination may contribute to this gap. On average, women are more likely than men to consider factors other than pay when looking for work, and may be less willing to travel or relocate. Thomas Sowell, in his book Knowledge and Decisions, claims that this difference is due to women not taking jobs due to marriage or pregnancy, but income studies show that that does not explain the entire difference. A U.S. Census's report stated that in US once other factors are accounted for there is still a difference in earnings between women and men. The income gap in other countries ranges from 53% in Botswana to -40% in Bahrain.

Question: What is the gender income inequality in Bahrain?

Ex Wife Threatening SuicideRecently I left my wife for good because she has cheated on me twice and lied to me so much that I have decided to refuse to go back to her. As of a few days ago, she began threatening suicide. I have tirelessly spent these paat few days talking her out of it and she keeps hesitating because she wants to believe I'll come back. I know a lot of people will threaten this in order to get their way, but what happens if she really does? What do I do and how am I supposed to handle her death on my hands? I still love my wife but I cannot deal with getting cheated on again and constantly feeling insecure. I'm worried today may be the day she does it and I hope so much it doesn't happen.


Am I weird I don't get affected by compliments if it's coming from someone I know irl but I feel really good when internet strangers do it


Finally 2020 is almost over... So I can never hear "2020 has been a bad year" ever again. I swear to fucking God it's so annoying


i need helpjust help me im crying so hard


Honetly idkI dont know what im even doing here. I just feel like there is nothing and nowhere for me. All i can feel is either nothing or unbearably sad. Im ignoring friends every opitunity i can. I feel like im loosing my girlfriend. I only hurt everyone i talk too and i dont cause anything good. Im behind on my education, i feel alone but for the first time its not a feeling ive enjoyed. I have no hopes or dreams. I care about nothing, not family, not friends, not even my girlfriend (i still love her, its complicated and i dont have the words to describe it).

I would do something to end myself but i know im not strong and brave enough to do it, and knowing im that weak makes me sadder. The only thing i can do is push away all emotion and be empty, because as bad as it is im used to it, its my way of being normal.

I dont understand how people have hopes or dreams, and i mentioned how bad i was feeling to my girlfriend but she just got scared i would die so i havnt brought it up again. But in that talk i realised i cant even comprehend my life having meaning to anyone.

I know this is just me rambling and i will probably regret posting this as ill think im taking the place of someone having a worse time with a gun to their head. I encoage all people who see this to help them instead of me. Ill probably suvive, they might not. Plus my life is meaningless and my future bleak, while they could cure cancer or something useful.

Sorry for wasting your time


[Trigger warning] Excuse for self inflicted burns*I do know the crisis line and used it after when I was having a panic attack.
*I know it's not a healthy thing to do.

But, I did. I did something stupid out of impulse. I burned myself.  I REALLY need help with an excuse as the father of my daughter knows my history (we were together 12 years.) He's seen my at my worst - but! I had always only cut on my ankles and wrists, I'm thinking the excuse for this would be easier than one for cuts.

 I did work on my car last night and I hadn't self harmed in a LONG time. I just did it without thinking, as usual; impulse and lost in the moment.

Should I say I touched something under the hood while the car was still hot? I have 3 almost in a curved like pattern the first on forearm then down a little then on the side of my wrist. They are about an inch long, kind of wide and a little deep.

I think the car excuse  is a good one but I would need to say what I was working on to explain the 3 burns. Maybe that there was a wire smooshed behind the engine and when I went to fix it I touched the engine?

I do not want to self harm again, I just need to be able to explain this.


Everyone wants to be "edgy" and it's making me self conscious I feel like I don't stand out. I can draw yes and play the guitar but I honestly feel like am stuck in the past, my taste in music are all rock and alt metal from
2000's to the 90's and it doesn't really make me feel unique it's just my style but seeing as my friends and classmates getting more into rap and EDM it's hard for me to feel like I fit in.
The I don't feel like I stand out is because of all the others copying a style and if I do that I'd be just another
"Quirky kid" who's in a cringey phase.
Many of my friends say that I look good in grunge style and I kinda agree but it's hard for me to continue that if I can't even stand out from all the "edgy
People who wore crosses and wallet chains and do tiktoks"

Really feels like I don't fit in in all categories, am scared that people might confuse me with a CLOUT CHASER or a fucking tiktok e boy goddamn
I hate my life

What do you do if you are a global warming alarmist and real-world temperatures do not warm as much as your climate model predicted?


(2.) A sun-blocking volcanic aerosols component to explain the sudden but temporary cooling of global sea surface temperatures that are caused by catastrophic volcanic eruptions; and,


Now, I am very interested in the AMO, since it strongly influences Atlantic hurricanes, Arctic sea ice, and Greenland climate. We are already seeing a recovery of the Atlantic sector of the Arctic sea ice, and some hints of cooling in Greenland.


Dr. Christy addressed recent challenges to the satellite data. One paper claimed to show that the satellite data actually show warming. The author, however, used only 9 percent on the satellite data the data with the least coverage and the greatest error. Each attack of the satellite data has disregarded the fact that this record is independently validated by a 98 percent correspondence with the radiosonde balloon data. These same scientists seem to put a lot of credence in surface temperature data that only cover 10 percent of the globe, nearly all of which is in the Northern Hemisphere.


After a brief protest from Massachusetts Republicans in their state Senate, the commonwealth is on the verge of changing its law to allow Gov. Deval Patrick (D) to appoint an interim Senator until the special election to fill the late Sen. Edward Kennedy's seat can be held in January.

There could also be other unknown mechanisms driven by solar changes that exaggerate the effect of small variations in total solar irradiance. A current possibility being investigated is a suggested link between cosmic ray flux and cloudiness. The flux varies depending on the energy from the sun and may drive cloudiness changes.


What Orwell would resent most is their demand that every scientist, scientific organization, and agency speak in unison. Although outrageous, this attempt to collectivize scientific discourse--this campaign to turn climate science into a party line--is hardly surprising or new. In fact, it is the arguably the very purpose for which the IPCC was established in the first place.

This analysis reveals that businesses and consumers would face higher energy and transportation costs under ACESA, which would lead to increased costs of other goods and services throughout the economy. As the costs of goods and services rise, household disposable income and household consumption would fall. Wages and returns on investment would also fall, resulting in lower productivity growth and reduce employment opportunities.


Q:

How to save a bitmap image as JPEG

The problem is that the file is not saving as JPEG. Just a normal file.
This is my code so far:
private void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    saveDialog.FileName = txtModelName.Text;

    if (saveDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(pnlDraw.Width, pnlDraw.Height);

        pnlDraw.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0,
            pnlDraw.Width, pnlDraw.Height));

        bmp.Save(saveDialog.FileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
    }
}

A:

How about checking if file name has .jpg extension before saving it?
You can also change saveDialog to only allow user selecting .jpg images.
private void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    saveDialog.FileName = txtModelName.Text;
    saveDialog.DefaultExt = "jpg";
    saveDialog.Filter = "JPG images (*.jpg)|*.jpg";

    if (saveDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(pnlDraw.Width, pnlDraw.Height);

        pnlDraw.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0,
            pnlDraw.Width, pnlDraw.Height));

        var fileName = saveDialog.FileName;
        if(!System.IO.Path.HasExtension(fileName) || System.IO.Path.GetExtension(fileName) != "jpg")
            fileName = fileName + ".jpg";

        bmp.Save(fileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
    }

The treatment of fibers, fabrics and laundry with conditioning agents, such as fabric softeners, anti-wrinkling agents, antistatic compounds and other preparations designed to improve the properties of the treated material is a well-known operation. It is practiced most by the housewife who adds fabric softening solution in the final rinse cycle of an automatic washing machine. The substantive cationic softening agent usually employed strongly adheres to the laundered textiles and remains thereon during subsequent spin drying and heat drying. Of course, such processes require that the conditioning agents employed be highly substantive or else they will be removed with the rinse water, yielding insufficient softening activities.
In efforts to find other ways of depositing softening agents on the surfaces of fibers and fabrics, pressurized sprays have been applied to the articles to be treated either before or after drying. Even when the sprays are of very fine droplets of a solution of conditioning agent it is a tedious task to apply the spray evenly to all the articles being treated. When the spraying apparatus is included as an integral part of a drying apparatus, such as an automatic laundry dryer, the costs of the spraying apparatus, control means for it and installations of these are often so great as to make such a treatment uneconomical. Instead of using a spray, solid conditioning agents, absorbed onto or impregnated into flexible papers, cloths or sponges have been employed in the dryer. U.S. Pat. No. 3,442,692 teaches that substantive cationic conditioning compounds vaporize into the moist atmosphere of the dryer and are sorbed by the materials being tumbled therein. Although it is considered that many useful cationic conditioning agents are of such high boiling points that they are incapable of vaporizing under ordinary drying conditions, U.S. Pat. No. 3,442,692 is cited as an example of another way to use conditioning agents in the automatic laundry dryer.
Although the disadvantages of conventional softening methods, utilizing the washing machine, and more recently developed treating operations, using the automatic laundry dryer, are known, before the present invention there was no acceptable simple and economical way to apply liquid conditioning agent to fabrics to be softened or to be made antistatic in the automatic laundry dryer. Now, by following the method of this invention, good conditioning may be obtained economically and conveniently and without the necessity for the installation of complex equipment.


White matter and cognitive decline in aging: a focus on processing speed and variability.
White matter (WM) change plays an important role in age-related cognitive decline. In this review, we consider methodological advances with particular relevance to the role of WM in age-related changes in processing speed. In this context, intra-individual variability in processing speed performance has emerged as a sensitive proxy of cognitive and neurological decline while neuroimaging techniques used to assess WM change have become increasingly more sensitive. Together with a carefully designed task protocol, we emphasize that the combined implementation of intra-individual variability and neuroimaging techniques hold promise for specifying the WM-processing speed relationship with implications for normative and clinical samples.

Mayo Clinic

With lung cancer being the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., effective early screening is key to saving lives. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic say they've developed new software that can help classify lung nodules noninvasively, saving lives and health care costs.

A pilot study of the program called Computer-aided Nodule Assessment and Risk Yield, or Canary, appears in the April issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.

Canary leans on data from high-resolution CT images of a common type of cancerous nodule in the lung called pulmonary adenocarcinomas. It matches every pixel of the lung image to one of nine unique radiological exemplars. In the pilot study, it was able to classify the lesions as aggressive or indolent with high sensitivity, as compared to microscopic analyses of the lesions after being surgically removed and analyzed by lung pathologists.

"Pulmonary adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer and early detection using traditional computed tomography (CT) scans can lead to a better prognosis," Tobias Peikert, a Mayo Clinic pulmonologist and senior author of the study, said in a news release. "However, a subgroup of the detected adenocarcinomas identified by CT may grow very slowly and may be treatable with less extensive surgery."

Peikert says that without effective screening, most lung cancer patients don't identify the disease until they are at an advanced stage and far more likely to die from it. Yet, screening via CT scans would be an expensive way to improve the survival rate, as it often can lead to overtreating slow-growing tumors. The hope is that Canary can identify those tumors that can be treated with less extensive -- and expensive -- surgery.


Neurological complications of congenital heart disease.
Neurological complications contribute significantly to mortality and morbidity from congenital heart disease with serious long-term consequences. Congenital heart disease has also been shown to adversely influence the neuro-developmental outcome of children. In developing countries such as India, majority of congenital heart defects remains uncorrected and major neurological complications are frequently encountered. Stroke and brain abscess are the commonest neurological complications of unoperated congenital heart disease. In developed countries the focus has now shifted to neurological complications of cardiac surgery in the very young as a result of cardiopulmonary bypass and total hypothermic circulatory arrest. A variety of neurological disturbances are now being increasingly recognized and are currently the subject of intense investigations. In this review the neurological complications of uncorrected congenital heart disease and the common neurological complications that result from operations for congenital heart disease will be discussed.

Dynamics of motile-sperm subpopulation structure in boar ejaculates subjected to "in vitro" capacitation and further "in vitro" acrosome reaction.
Incubation of diluted boar sperm from fresh ejaculates in a previously established "in vitro" capacitation medium induced a significant, time-dependent increase in several mean parameters of sperm motility, such as curvilinear velocity (VCL), linear velocity (VSL), mean velocity (VAP), linearity coefficient (LIN), straightness coefficient (STR) and wobble coefficient (WOB). Furthermore, motile boar-sperm semen samples were structured in four definite subpopulations. Subpopulation 1 showed the lowest values of VCL, VSL and VAP and also low values of linearity. Subpopulation 2 showed the second lowest values of VCL and VAP and higher values of LIN and STR. Subpopulation 3 was characterized by high values of velocity and low values of linearity. Finally, Subpopulation 4 was characterized by high values of velocity and linearity. "In vitro" capacitation and further acrosome reaction induced changes in the motility characteristics of each subpopulation as well as in their percentage distribution, Subpopulations 3 and 4 being those that showed the most significant changes. However, despite these changes, the observed, overall four-subpopulation structure was firmly maintained during the entire "in vitro" capacitation and acrosome-reaction process. Our results suggest that capacitation-induced motility changes are related to specific changes in the percentage of each motile-sperm subpopulation in the ejaculate without losing the overall, specific four-subpopulation structure. In this way, the maintenance of a four-subpopulation structure seems to be important in the control of the whole ejaculate physiology.
