In human neuroscientific research, there has been an increasing interest in how the brain computes the value of an anticipated outcome. However, evidence is still missing about which valuation related brain regions are modulated by the proximity to an expected goal and the previously invested effort to reach a goal. The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the effects of goal proximity and invested effort on valuation related regions in the human brain. We addressed this question in two fMRI studies by integrating a commonly used reward anticipation task in differential versions of a Multitrial Reward Schedule Paradigm. In both experiments, subjects had to perform consecutive reward anticipation tasks under two different reward contingencies: in the delayed condition, participants received a monetary reward only after successful completion of multiple consecutive trials. In the immediate condition, money was earned after every successful trial. In the first study, we could demonstrate that the rostral cingulate zone of the posterior medial frontal cortex signals action value contingent to goal proximity, thereby replicating neurophysiological findings about goal proximity signals in a homologous region in non-human primates. The findings of the second study imply that brain regions associated with general cognitive control processes are modulated by previous effort investment. Furthermore, we found the posterior lateral prefrontal cortex and the orbitofrontal cortex to be involved in coding for the effort-based context of a situation. In sum, these results extend the role of the human rostral cingulate zone in outcome evaluation to the continuous updating of action values over a course of action steps based on the proximity to the expected reward. Furthermore, we tentatively suggest that previous effort investment invokes processes under the control of the executive system, and that posterior lateral prefrontal cortex and the orbitofrontal cortex are involved in an effort-based context representation that can be used for outcome evaluation that is dependent on the characteristics of the current situation.

Lesson: Introduction to Brain Computation of Anticipated Outcomes

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

In this lesson, we will learn about how the brain computes the value of an anticipated outcome. This refers to the process by which the brain assigns a level of importance or desirability to a future event. This is an essential aspect of decision-making and goal-directed behavior.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's imagine that you are planning a trip to the beach with your friends. You have to decide when to leave, what time to arrive at the beach, and what activities to do once you get there. Your brain needs to compute the value of each option based on factors such as cost, time, and enjoyment. It does this by comparing the potential outcomes of each choice and assigning a level of importance to each one.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Now let's consider a more complex example. Imagine that you are a manager of a company and you need to decide whether to invest in a new project. You have to evaluate the potential benefits and risks associated with the project, such as the potential return on investment, the likelihood of success, and the resources required. Your brain needs to compute the value of this investment based on these factors and make a decision.

### Glossary

- Brain: the organ in our body responsible for thinking, feeling, and controlling our actions.
- Anticipated outcome: a future event that we expect to happen.
- Computation: the process of calculating or solving a problem.
- Value: the level of importance or desirability of something.

### Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about how the brain computes the value of an anticipated outcome. We discussed practical examples such as planning a trip to the beach and a real-world scenario of a manager deciding whether to invest in a new project. We also defined key terms in a glossary. By understanding how the brain computes the value of an anticipated outcome, we can apply this knowledge to new problems and make better decisions.

Light-induced biophotonic emission from plant tissues.
The emission of biophotons in the visible range, following a delay time of 2-200 seconds after exposure to light, has been measured in germinating seeds, roots, flowers, leaves, and cells. It was found that the biophotonic signals are reproducible and light-induced. The observed signals from germinating seeds of Phaseolus aures and decaying leaves of Eucalyptus are presented to show that the signals have characteristic kinetics and intensity. The kinetics of the signal was found to be independent of the stage of growth or decay, though its intensity varied with biological factors. The kinetics in the first minute is characterized by a single exponential decay term while that in the region t less than or equal to 200 s is characterized by two exponentials. The variation in the intensity of the signal with mass, state of hydration, and growth, and the effect of inhibitors in various systems (e.g. leaves, lichen, Chlorella) are reported.

Lesson: Introduction to Cycling Shoes and Pedals

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

### Subsection 1.1: What are cycling shoes and pedals?
Cycling shoes are specialized footwear designed for cycling that provides support, comfort, and efficiency while riding. They typically have a stiff sole to transfer power directly from the foot to the pedal and a tight fit to prevent the foot from slipping. Pedals, on the other hand, are the parts of the bike that the cyclist's feet attach to. There are different types of pedals, including flat pedals and clipless pedals. Clipless pedals require special cycling shoes with cleats that clip into the pedals, allowing for a more efficient transfer of power and better control during cornering and braking.

### Subsection 1.2: Why are cycling shoes and pedals important?
Cycling shoes and pedals are important because they can significantly improve a cyclist's performance and comfort. By providing a direct connection between the foot and the pedal, cycling shoes allow for a more efficient transfer of power, reducing energy loss and improving speed and endurance. Additionally, cycling shoes with a tight fit can help prevent the foot from slipping, which can be dangerous during hard cornering or braking. Clipless pedals also provide better control and stability during these situations, making them popular among racers and serious riders.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

### Subsection 2.1: Choosing the right cycling shoes and pedals
When choosing cycling shoes and pedals, there are several factors to consider. First, decide whether you want clipless or flat pedals. Clipless pedals require special cycling shoes with cleats, while flat pedals can be used with any type of shoe. Second, consider the type of cycling you will be doing. For example, downhill and enduro riders may prefer stiffer soles and more protective uppers, while road racers may prioritize lightweight and ventilation. Finally, make sure the shoes and pedals are compatible with your bike and other components, such as cleats and pedal spindles.

### Subsection 2.2: Setting up clipless pedals
To set up clipless pedals, first ensure that your cycling shoes are properly fitted with cleats that match your pedals. Then, adjust the tension of the cleat spring so that it is snug but not too tight. Next, position the cleat on the shoe so that it is aligned with the pedal spindle and the ball of the foot is over the cleat. Finally, adjust the fore-aft position of the cleat until it feels comfortable when you are seated on the bike.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

### Subsection 3.1: Testing new cycling shoes
To test new cycling shoes, start by riding at a moderate pace on a familiar route. Pay attention to how the shoes feel in terms of comfort, support, and power transfer. Also, make sure the cleats are properly aligned with the pedals and that you are clipping in and out smoothly. After a few minutes, increase your effort to get a sense of how the shoes perform under more demanding conditions. Finally, take a break and evaluate your overall impression of the shoes, considering factors such as fit, comfort, and power transfer.

### Subsection 3.2: Using clipless pedals for the first time
When using clipless pedals for the first time, start by practicing clipping in and out on a stationary bike or in a safe, empty area. Once you feel comfortable with the process, gradually increase your speed and try cornering and braking while clipped in. Remember to keep your knees slightly bent and your weight centered over the pedals to maintain balance and control. As you become more experienced, try more technical descents and challenging terrain to test the limits of your new pedals and shoes.

## Glossary
- Cleat: A small metal or plastic device that attaches to the bottom of a cycling shoe and engages with the pedal to provide a secure connection.
- Pedal spindle: The part of the pedal that the cleat engages with.
- Stiff sole: A sole that is rigid enough to transfer power directly from the foot to the pedal.
- Tight fit: A shoe that fits closely around the foot to prevent slippage.
- Ventilation: Holes or perforations in the shoe that allow air to circulate and keep the foot cool and dry.

text: March Madness is one of those sports phenomena’s that seems to take hold of everyone. Even if you haven’t watched a single college basketball game all year, or pick your favorite teams based off their wacky mascots (Jack Rabbits), everyone fills out a bracket. Something about this tournament makes you root for teams you didn’t know exist and has you checking scores religiously.. As a digital billboard operator, you can take advantage of this crazy time of the year and attract more eyes to your displays than ever. We’ve explained in the past how data feeds garner more attention than regular ads due to their live information aspect, but March Madness feeds are like a regular data feed on steroids.. While the games are already underway, the madness is far from over. Talk to your Daktronics representative at any time if you are interested in any specific feeds.

textbook:
Lesson: Introduction to Data Feeds and March Madness
## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
A data feed is a continuous stream of data that is updated regularly and displayed in real-time on digital billboards. It provides viewers with up-to-date information that changes frequently, making it more engaging than static advertisements.
March Madness is a college basketball tournament that takes place every year in March. It consists of 68 teams competing in a single-elimination bracket to determine the national champion.
## Section 2: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios
To demonstrate the effectiveness of data feeds during March Madness, let's consider a hypothetical scenario where a billboard operator wants to showcase live scores of the tournament on their digital display. They can use a data feed that provides real-time updates of the game, including scores, time remaining, and team statistics. This information will keep viewers engaged and attract more attention to the display than a regular ad.
For example, if the game between Duke and UNC is being shown on the billboard, viewers will be able to see the live score update, the time remaining in the game, and the current possession. This information will keep them engaged and encourage them to stay longer in front of the billboard.
## Section 3: Increasing Difficulty Level
To further illustrate the benefits of using data feeds during March Madness, let's consider a more advanced scenario where the billboard operator wants to showcase more detailed information about the tournament. They can use a data feed that provides live updates of the game, as well as player statistics, standings, and news updates. This information will provide viewers with a more comprehensive understanding of the tournament and keep them engaged for longer periods.
For example, if the billboard operator wants to show the live score update of the game between Kansas and Villanova, they can also display the current player stats, such as points scored, rebounds, and assists. They can also show the tournament standings, so viewers can see which teams are performing well and which ones are struggling. Additionally, they can display news updates about the tournament, such as injuries, suspensions, and coaching changes. This information will provide viewers with a more comprehensive understanding of the tournament and keep them engaged for longer periods.
## Glossary
Data Feed: A continuous stream of data that is updated regularly and displayed in real-time on digital billboards.
March Madness: A college basketball tournament that takes place every year in March.
## Conclusion
By using data feeds during March Madness, billboard operators can attract more viewers and keep them engaged for longer periods. The information provided by the data feed can range from basic live scores to more comprehensive details about the tournament, such as player statistics, standings, and news updates. By providing viewers with up-to-date and relevant information, billboard operators can create a more engaging experience that will keep people coming back for more.

Treated sewage was leaking into the Barnegat Bay for at least six weeks — and potentially years longer — before an outfall pipe was repaired last week.

Each day, some 23 million gallons of wastewater travel the 3½ miles from the Ocean County Utilities Authority treatment plant, in the Bayville section of Berkeley, through this underground, 54-inch-wide outfall pipe that voids into the Atlantic Ocean.

DRINKING WATER: 1.5M in NJ served by utilities that failed tests since Flint

NJ MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION: Legal weed is one step closer to coming to New Jersey. Here's what's next.

A spokeswoman for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection said the utility initially measured the flow coming out of the 1-inch cavity at 50 gallons per minute.

That would be equal to 72,000 gallons per day, or the equivalent of 4½ Olympic-sized swimming pools of sewage over the course of the six weeks that the leak was active.

Observers and regulators do not regard this leak as a public health threat.

The wastewater involved is what drains down our sinks, showers and toilets before winding its way through the treatment process. The sanitized sewage was bound for the open ocean, in accordance with state law, but a fraction of the “treated secondary effluent” leached into the bay, which has been rebounding in recent years after decades of problems with pollution.

What happened?

The wastewater was emanating from a 1-inch hole in the steel pipe, which OCUA officials suspect to be the result of corrosion, about 1,200 feet east of the beach at the end of Allen Road. The failure was initially discovered by the authority on Oct. 9.

Excavation and repairs to the pipe, which is buried seven feet under the seabed, are ongoing and should be finished by the end of the week, according to Keith Marcoon, executive director of the OCUA. The leak itself was sealed on Nov. 20, he said.

“From Hour 1, the OCUA certainly followed all protocols prescribed by the DEP,” Marcoon told the USA Today Network-New Jersey on Monday.

The state DEP issued an informal enforcement order on Nov. 20 for "unpermitted discharge of secondary treated effluent to Barnegat Bay," according to department spokeswoman Caryn Shinske, who offered no criticisms of OCUA's response.

Bay watchdogs called OCUA officials "responsible" and "highly professional" but also urged them to inspect the pipe more often and to prepare for its replacement.

"For whatever reason, there have been some corrosion holes in this pipe," said Stan Hales, the director of the Barnegat Bay Partnership. "This isn’t the first time this has happened."

LAKEWOOD WELFARE FRAUD: After months of plea negotiations, resolutions coming, prosecutor says

What's next?

About 96 percent to 97 percent of pollutants and suspended solids are removed from the wastewater through the multi-step cleansing process, according to the OCUA.

Before it is released, this wastewater is tested for bacteria and those results regularly come back well below the threshold where, for example, contact through swimming would represent a health risk, said Robert Shertenlieb, the OCUA's senior director of operation and maintenance.

It had been more than 10 years since the last leak was discovered in this pipe, following a rash of four leaks in three years — ending in 2006 — that were patched on that same stretch under the bay between Bayville and South Seaside Park.

But the integrity of this 40-year-old pipe hasn't been tested since December 2012, as inspection is only required every five years. In theory, the gash in the pipe could have been leaking sewage into the bay for nearly six years before it was noticed.

“It is concerning that they are only testing the pipe every five years for leaks," said Britta Wenzel, executive director of the conservation group Save Barnegat Bay. "I don’t feel like that is adequate given the age of our infrastructure and the fragility of the ecosystem.”

Marcoon didn't disagree, saying that the OCUA would "consider a more frequent interval" of testing and had already engaged experts to talk about "rehabilitation and replacement options" for the Bayville plant's only outfall pipe, which has a 50-year expected lifespan.

That such a reaction has been prompted by a hole just bigger than a quarter is a sign of how far we've come since the 1960s, when nearly 50 municipal plants were discharging sewage into the bay after only rudimentary treatment.

“That poorly treated sewage many decades ago contributed to impairment of our surface waters," Marcoon said. "That’s what prompted the Ocean County Board of Freeholders to create the OCUA.”

### Section 1.3: What are some common environmental issues?
Some common environmental issues include air and water pollution, deforestation, climate change, and endangered species. These issues can have serious consequences for human health, wildlife, and the planet as a whole.

### Section 1.4: How can we solve environmental problems?
Solving environmental problems requires a multifaceted approach. This can include reducing pollution, conserving resources, and promoting sustainable practices. It also involves educating people about the importance of protecting the environment and working together to find solutions.

## Chapter 2: Understanding the Water Cycle

### Section 2.1: What is the Water Cycle?
The water cycle is the process by which water moves through the Earth's atmosphere and surface. It includes evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. This cycle is essential for life on Earth, as it provides fresh water for plants and animals to drink and for humans to use.

### Section 2.2: How does the Water Cycle work?
The water cycle begins when the sun heats the Earth's surface, causing water to evaporate into the atmosphere. As the water vapor rises, it cools and condenses into clouds. When the clouds become heavy enough, precipitation occurs, such as rain or snow. Finally, the water collects in rivers, lakes, and oceans, ready to begin the cycle again.

### Section 2.3: What role does evaporation play in the Water Cycle?
Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor. It plays a crucial role in the Water Cycle, as it returns water to the atmosphere, where it can condense into clouds and eventually fall back to the Earth as precipitation.

### Section 2.4: Why is the Water Cycle important?
The Water Cycle is essential for life on Earth, as it provides fresh water for plants and animals to drink and for humans to use. It also helps regulate the Earth's temperature and weather patterns. Any disruption to the Water Cycle can have serious consequences for our planet.

## Chapter 3: Understanding Pollution

### Section 3.1: What is Pollution?
Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the environment that cause harm to living organisms and ecosystems. These contaminants can include chemicals, gases, and other substances that are hazardous to human health and the planet.

### Section 3.2: What are the different types of Pollution?
There are several types of pollution, including air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, and noise pollution. Each type of pollution has its own effects on the environment and human health.

### Section 3.3: How does Pollution affect the environment?
Pollution can have serious consequences for the environment. It can damage ecosystems, kill wildlife, and contaminate natural resources. Pollution also contributes to climate change, which can lead to more severe weather events and rising sea levels.

### Section 3.4: What can we do to reduce Pollution?
Reducing pollution requires a multifaceted approach. This can include reducing emissions from factories and vehicles, conserving resources, and promoting sustainable practices. It also involves educating people about the importance of protecting the environment and working together to find solutions.

## Conclusion
By studying environmental science, we can gain a deeper understanding of the world around us and the impact of human activities on the environment. Through this knowledge, we can work to reduce pollution, conserve resources, and protect the planet for future generations.

Lesson: Introduction to College Baseball Tournament

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
In this lesson, we will learn about the College Baseball Tournament, which is an annual event where college baseball teams compete against each other to determine a national champion. We will cover the following concepts:

- **Brackets**: A bracket is a graphical representation of the tournament structure. It shows the path that each team must take to reach the final game. The bracket is divided into four regions, each containing 16 teams.
- **Seeding**: Seeding refers to the process of ranking the teams in the tournament based on their performance during the regular season. The top 16 teams are seeded 1 through 16, with 1 being the best team and 16 being the worst.
- **Matchups**: Matchups refer to the games played between two teams in the tournament. The teams are paired based on their seeds, with the higher-seeded team getting home-field advantage.
- **Elimination Bracket**: The elimination bracket is a separate bracket used to determine the third-place team in the tournament. Teams that lose in the winner's bracket are moved to the elimination bracket and must win three games in a row to win the third-place trophy.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Now that we understand the theoretical concepts, let's look at some practical examples using mathematical abstractions and real-world scenarios:

- **Mathematical Abstraction**: Let's say Team A has a record of 40-15, while Team B has a record of 35-20. How would they be seeded in the tournament?
- **Real-World Scenario**: In 2016, the University of Miami won the College Baseball Tournament by defeating Coastal Carolina University in the final game. How did they make it to the championship game?

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
In this section, we will engage in self-debating discussions to teach critical thinking:

- **Question**: Is it fair for the top-seeded team to have home-field advantage throughout the tournament?
- **Answer**: Yes, it is fair because the top-seeded team has demonstrated the best performance during the regular season and deserves the advantage.

## Glossary
- **Bracket**: A graphical representation of the tournament structure, showing the path that each team must take to reach the final game.
- **Seeding**: The process of ranking the teams in the tournament based on their performance during the regular season.
- **Matchups**: Games played between two teams in the tournament.
- **Elimination Bracket**: A separate bracket used to determine the third-place team in the tournament.

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about the College Baseball Tournament, including its bracket structure, seeding, matchups, and elimination bracket. We also explored practical examples using mathematical abstractions and real-world scenarios and engaged in self-debating discussions to teach critical thinking. By understanding these concepts, we can apply our skills to new problems in the future.

Client-centricity refers to the practice of putting the needs and wants of the client first. In other words, it means putting the client at the center of everything you do. This means going above and beyond to meet their needs, expectations, and desires. It requires a deep understanding of the client's goals, values, and preferences.

## Section 3: What is Hyper-Personalization?
Hyper-personalization takes client-centricity to the next level. It involves tailoring every aspect of the client experience to their unique needs and preferences. This includes everything from the products and services offered to the way communication is conducted.

## Section 4: Why is Client-Centricity and Hyper-Personalization Important?
Client-centricity and hyper-personalization are important because they help build trust and loyalty among clients. When clients feel that their needs are being met and that they are being treated as individuals, they are more likely to become lifelong customers. This leads to increased revenue and profitability for the wealth management firm.

## Section 5: How Can Client-Centricity and Hyper-Personalization be Applied in Wealth Management?
Client-centricity and hyper-personalization can be applied in wealth management by:

1. Conducting in-depth interviews with clients to understand their goals, values, and preferences.

3. Providing regular updates on the performance of the client's investments and offering guidance on how to optimize their returns.
4. Offering concierge-level service, such as arranging meetings with experts in specific fields or providing access to exclusive events.
5. Communicating with clients in a way that is tailored to their preferences, such as through email, phone, or video chat.

## Section 6: Practical Examples
One example of client-centricity and hyper-personalization in action is a wealth manager who offers a client a customized investment portfolio that includes shares in a company that the client is interested in. The wealth manager also arranges a meeting between the client and the CEO of the company to discuss the company's future plans and opportunities for growth.

Another example is a wealth manager who provides regular updates on the performance of the client's investments and offers guidance on how to optimize their returns. The wealth manager also conducts regular market research to identify new investment opportunities that align with the client's goals and preferences.

## Section 7: Glossary
- Client-centricity: The practice of putting the needs and wants of the client first
- Hyper-personalization: Tailoring every aspect of the client experience to their unique needs and preferences
- Wealth management: The practice of managing and investing the assets of high-net-worth individuals

In this lesson, we will cover the basics of job searching, including where to look for job openings, how to create a resume and cover letter, and how to prepare for interviews.

**Section 1: Where to Look for Job Openings**

One of the first steps in job searching is finding job openings that match your skills and interests. There are many places you can look for job openings, including:

1. Online job boards: There are many websites that list job openings, such as Indeed, Glassdoor, and Monster. These websites allow you to search for jobs by keyword, location, and industry.

2. Company websites: Many companies list job openings on their website's careers page. Be sure to check the career pages of companies that interest you.

3. Social media: LinkedIn is a popular social media platform for job seekers. You can create a profile and connect with people who work at companies that interest you. Many companies also post job openings on LinkedIn.

4. Networking: Talk to friends, family, and colleagues about job opportunities. They may know of openings that you could be a good fit for.

**Section 2: Creating a Resume and Cover Letter**

Once you have found job openings that interest you, the next step is to create a resume and cover letter. These documents showcase your skills and experiences to potential employers.

1. Resume: A resume is a concise summary of your work experience, education, and skills. It should be no more than two pages long and be easy to read. Here are some tips for creating a strong resume:

   - Tailor your resume to the job you are applying for. Use keywords from the job posting to make sure your resume matches the requirements.

   - Highlight your relevant skills and experiences. Use bullet points to make it easy to read and highlight your accomplishments.

   - Keep it concise and focused. Avoid including irrelevant information or unnecessary details.

2. Cover Letter: A cover letter is a letter that accompanies your resume and explains why you are a good fit for the job. It should be personalized for each job you apply for and address the specific requirements of the job posting. Here are some tips for creating a strong cover letter:

   - Research the company and job opening before writing your cover letter. This will help you tailor your letter to the specific requirements of the job.

   - Address your letter to a specific person if possible. If you don't know the name of the hiring manager, try to find out who the hiring manager is and address your letter to them.

   - Highlight your relevant skills and experiences. Use specific examples to demonstrate how you have used these skills in the past.

   - Keep it concise and focused. Avoid repeating information from your resume and instead focus on why you would be a good fit for the job.

This is the first single to be taken from Country music artist Kenny Chesney's fourteenth studio album, Hemingway's Whiskey. Nashville songwriters Dave Turnbull and Casey Beathard penned the song. Kenny and Casey go back a long way. The title track of Chesney's 1998 album I Will Stand was the first cut by Beathard as a songwriter and Chesney later recorded "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problems", another Beathard co-write, in 2002.

Even though Chesney didn't write the song, its subject matter of a love of high school football is close to his heart. Kenny explained on his website that from the first time he played the tune, he knew he wanted to record it. "I just stopped right there, and played it over and over again," Chesney said. "I knew - as maybe only someone who has felt that thrill of rushing out onto the field on a cold Friday night can - that was exactly how it is. It also gives you a sense of why playing football in high school is such a powerful thing for anyone who does it. It's life changing. For anyone who's never experienced that, this song helps them understand why."

Co-writer Casey Beathard told The Boot the story behind this song: "Football is my biggest passion other than songwriting and the family stuff I do. If I'm not with my family or writing, I'm at home just watching football. That's my background. My dad and brothers were in football, and I have a big passion for it. I'm coaching my kids all through it.That phrase, 'the boys of fall,' is something I'd heard a while back. It was something about 'I miss the boys of fall.' I wrote it down and sat on it for a while. Dave and I were sitting around with nothing to write. It was one of those times where it was in the air. You knew football season was coming. When Dave and I started talking about football, that phrase came back to me. We wanted to write it.It was not so much about football as much as we were talking about life. I always coordinate football with life anyway - leaning on each other and all that stuff you face in life. There's not a small town - or any town - in this country that doesn't get it. This is where football came from. I'm surprised there hasn't been a big song about football until now.I knew Kenny had the same passion for football as I did. I remember him being on ESPN doing all the college game-day interviews, and I've seen him on TV with Sean Payton, the coach of the New Orleans Saints. I sent the song to him the first chance I had. He immediately got back to me and said he was going to put it on his album."

Chesney discussed this song in a track-by-track interview with Billboard magazine: "'Boys Of Fall' is a perfect description of how I grew up and where I grew up. That song meant so much to me and I thought, 'Wow, there's a lot of kids out there and a lot of people that have that feeling in their lives.' There's a line in the song that says, "In little towns like mine, that's all we got." And that's the way it was in East Tennessee, and still is. I've got a lot of guys from East Tennessee out on the road [with me] that grew up the same way, and I played them that song when [writer] Casey Beathard gave me the CD of just him on a guitar playing it. I made everybody come on the bus and said "listen to this." I knew we had something that was very common. A lot of people that listen to my music and that are passionate about what we do out on the road... I've been pretty perceptive over the years, and I think that we kind of grew up the same way. I see myself a lot in my fans, and I think vice versa. I hope so anyway."

This was Chesney's 18th Country #1. The song's ascension to the summit meant that Chesney had achieved at least one chart-topper ever year for ten successive years.

than songwriting," Beathard said. "I grew up playing ball, and I still coach my son's team. So when I got the idea for the song, I called Dave [Turnbull] and said, 'Hey, man, let's write a song about high school football.' We started talking about the memories and the emotions that go along with that time in our lives, and we came up with the chorus first: 'Friday night lights, burning bright / In the small town where I was raised / The smell of the grass, the sound of the band / Takes me back to the days of high school football man.'"

Beathard continued, "We wrote the rest of the song around that idea, about how those memories stay with you forever. I think it's a great song for anybody who's ever played or watched a game of high school football. It's a sport that really brings people together, and it's a rite of passage for a lot of kids. I hope it resonates with people and makes them feel like they're part of something bigger than themselves."

[The treatment of loose diaphyseal fractures of the humeral diaphysis using the hanging cast method].
A personal series of loose diaphyseal fractures of the humeral diaphysis, treated with the hanging plaster case method, has been examined in order to assess results. These were positive in most treated cases, with a complication percentage comparable to that obtainable with other methods. Although it is not considered that the usual treatment of reduction and plaster cast thoraco-brachial immobilisation should be abandoned, it is considered that the hanging cast is an equally valid alternative in all cases in which the patient's general condition represents a contraindication to the application of a bulky chest-extended cast.

Lesson: Introduction to Orthopedic Surgery

**Section 1: Overview of Orthopedic Surgery**
Orthopedic surgery is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries, disorders, and diseases of the musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles.

**Section 2: Types of Orthopedic Procedures**
Orthopedic surgeons perform a variety of procedures to treat conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. These procedures can range from minimally invasive to complex surgeries. Some common procedures include:

- Fracture repair: Fixing broken bones using plates, screws, or rods.
- Joint replacement: Replacing damaged joints with artificial ones.
- Soft tissue repair: Fixing injuries to tendons, ligaments, and muscles.
- Spine surgery: Correcting problems with the vertebrae, discs, and spinal cord.

**Section 3: Loose Diaphyseal Fractures of the Humeral Diaphysis**
Loose diaphyseal fractures of the humeral diaphysis are a type of fracture that occurs in the long bone of the upper arm. These fractures can be treated using a variety of methods, including the hanging cast method.

**Section 4: The Hanging Cast Method**
The hanging cast method involves applying a cast to the affected arm while it hangs freely from a frame above the patient's head. This allows for better alignment of the bones and reduces the risk of complications such as nerve damage.

**Section 5: Results and Complications**
In a personal series of loose diaphyseal fractures of the humeral diaphysis treated with the hanging cast method, results were generally positive with a complication rate comparable to other methods. However, it is not recommended to abandon the usual treatment of reduction and plaster cast thoraco-brachial immobilization, as this may still be necessary in some cases.

**Glossary**
- Diaphysis: The long cylindrical part of a bone, excluding the ends (epiphyses).
- Fracture: A break in a bone.
- Immobilization: The process of restricting the movement of a body part to allow for healing.
- Diaphyseal: Pertaining to the shaft or body of a long bone.

**Conclusion**
Orthopedic surgery is a vital field in medicine that focuses on treating conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. The hanging cast method is one option for treating loose diaphyseal fractures of the humeral diaphysis, with generally positive results and a complication rate comparable to other methods. Understanding the basics of orthopedic surgery and its procedures can help individuals make informed decisions about their healthcare.

text: - Filed Under. News of a shooting in a Navy Yard in Washington D.C. killing 12 people and then the shooter - Aaron Alexis - was killed not long after intelligence reported that "small-scale" terrorist attacks on the United States have been ordered by Al-Queda is scary, to say the least.. I am not saying it was a terrorist attack, but the thought crossed my mind as the story unfolded, and the question will remain in my mind until we get verified identification of the shooter and something more concrete on why, if it's possible to get something on why anyway.. Obviously, the chances that more of the story will be known ...

Current Educational Interventions for Improving Technical Skills of Urology Trainees in Endourological Procedures: A Systematic Review.
Endourology continues to grow with the introduction of new technologies into clinical practice. Simulators and training models have been developed in order to improve comfort and proficiency in endoscopic procedures. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the current educational interventions utilized to improve the performance of endourology trainees and to critically appraise the strengths and limitations of each. A search of the Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library databases was performed to identify literature focused on current educational interventions for improving technical skills of trainees in endourological procedures. The Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument (MERSQI) was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the abstracted articles. Of the 2236 articles identified, 22 met the inclusion criteria. The types of educational interventions included: bench/wet lab models, virtual reality simulators, and instructional courses. Metrics used to quantify the impact of these interventions include global rating scales, OSATS scores, and task-specific checklists. The setting of these evaluations comprises both virtual reality simulators and live surgery. In the surgical education literature, simulation-based training and assessment continues to play a prominent role in urological training. The educational interventions highlighted in this review address various aspects of endourology, from stone management to transurethral resection. Additional work is needed to correlate technical performance in clinical and non-clinical settings with patient outcomes and develop a focused approach to non-technical skills training.

textbook: improving technical skills were: proficiency, time to proficiency, and self-assessment of competence. The strengths of these interventions were that they allowed for repetitive practice, individualized feedback, and standardization of training. However, the limitations included lack of transferability to clinical practice, limited availability of resources, and potential for overconfidence in trainees. In conclusion, there is a need for more robust research to determine the most effective educational interventions for improving technical skills in endourological procedures. Future studies should focus on the development of novel interventions that address the identified limitations and should include larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods to assess the long-term impact of these interventions on patient outcomes.

If you love New York's tall buildings in the background, flip tricks over fire hydrants, or lines ending between cars on a busy road with the city traffic, you must surely know! It has been a long time since we didn’t have that much news from them, except from the superb tricks of Juan Virues for converse in the "Uphill" video and more recently in his part “Quatro”. So as the title of this new video indicates it, it was about time! And why change a recipe that works so well? Always with Nick Von Werssowetz (Lurknyc) at the controls they keep this dark atmosphere of New York which we can find mainly in the “Mean Streets” series. The cast includes Nick Gorham, Kalman Ocheltree, Luke Lenski (who also signs a relatively confusing backside flip), Nate Grzechowiak and the famous Juan Virues who ends the video with a frontside bigspin that clearly defies the laws of physics.
