LETHBRIDGE, Alta. — A father on trial in his son’s death suggested Wednesday that he and his wife would have been better off going directly to hospital rather than handing the child over to an ambulance.David and Collet Stephan are charged with failing to provide the necessaries of life to their boy Ezekiel in 2012. The 19-month-old died of bacterial meningitis seven years ago.His parents had treated him with herbal and alternative remedies before they sought medical attention.Court has heard the couple made two 911 calls on March 13, 2012. The first was when Ezekiel had stopped breathing, but he seemed to recover, so David Stephan turned down an offer for an ambulance.Within the hour, the Stephans were on the phone with a dispatcher again as they drove from their southern Alberta home near Glenwood to meet an ambulance on the highway.David Stephan, who is representing himself in court, spent hours cross-examining paramedic Ken Cherniawsky, who met the Stephans while they were on the way to the nearest hospital in Cardston.Cherniawsky testified Tuesday that the ambulance wasn’t properly equipped with either the right-sized valve mask or endotracheal tube for a patient of Ezekiel’s age.“Yesterday it was identified it was approximately 8 1/2 minutes without oxygen whatsoever. No chest rise. No chest fall. Correct?” Stephan asked Wednesday.“Yes,” Cherniawsky replied.“Would it have been better to have just kept on driving to hospital with Collet doing the CPR than for him to end up in an ambulance and go 8 1/2 minutes without oxygen?” said Stephan.“No. If a patient, regardless of whether it’s a pediatric or an adult, if they’re in cardiac arrest, the evidence-based, definitive treatment which proves to have the most success is defibrillation … and the ambulance had the equipment available,” said Cherniawsky.He said there was no chance of it working on the toddler because he had already flatlined.Cherniawsky also told the court that there was no damage done to Ezekiel from the time he was received into care and taken to hospital.Earlier this week, naturopath Tracy Tannis and friend Terrie Shaw testified that they suggested the parents take their son to see a doctor when he failed to recover from what the family thought was the flu.Two protesters were standing outside court in Lethbridge, Alta., early Wednesday. Dr. Bill Shields, a urologist, was holding a sign that read “Ezekiel Had A Right to a Life” while his wife Roberta’s placard read “Health Care Is Not Evil.”“I don’t believe how they treated their child is anywhere near (how) I would or anyone I know would have treated a child that sick,” said Shields.David Stephan said outside court that it hurts to hear public criticism and “to have salt rubbed in the wound on a regular basis.”It is the second trial for the Stephans, who now live in Grande Prairie, Alta. A jury found them guilty in 2016, but the Supreme Court overturned the convictions last year and ordered a new trial.— Follow @BillGraveland on TwitterBill Graveland, The Canadian Press

A man was taken to the hospital with serious injuries after crashing a motorcycle Thursday night on Interstate 205.Emergency personnel responded around 7:15 p.m. to the southbound side of the interstate near the state Highway 14 onramp. There, they found a man down in the road, Vancouver Fire Department spokesman Kevin Stromberg said.While the man was conscious and able to speak, he was taken to a hospital with injuries considered to be serious, Stromberg said. The man’s identity was not immediately released.Washington State Patrol was investigating the crash at the site.
Former Bahamas PM warns new Govt to remain “humble” Facebook Twitter Google+LinkedInPinterestWhatsAppGrand Bahama, Bahamas May 8, 2017 – Urban Renewal Deputy Director Michelle Reckley says the Free National Movement (FNM) has “stooped to an all time low” following a fake news report accusing her of tampering with ballot boxes.Yesterday, Reckley said FNM incumbent MP for East Grand Bahama, Peter Turnquest had gone to the Central Police Station with two lawyers supposedly to report the fraud. There were also rumors on social media that Reckley and her husband had been arrested for ballot box tampering. “Yesterday he made a total you know what of himself. Very, very disgraceful and had to come back and say there’s no truth to it,” said Reckley.However, assistant parliamentary commissioner, Reno Smith has cleared the air on the issue stating that neither Reckley nor her husband were guilty. “They were in no way present. They were not in the vicinity of the police headquarters at all. On election day all ballot boxes are empties for everyone to see and touch. Even there were secret compartments in the boxes all of the political operatives are allowed to touch the boxes,” Smith said. Smith assured the public that the process is transparent.Reckley said that she has had enough of the FNM’s Grand Bahama campaign which she claimed has been constantly attacking her character.#MagneticMediaNews#MichelleRickley#fakenews Bahamas Min.

Journal information: ACS Nano The researchers, led by Chunyi Zhi, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong, have published a paper on the new yarn battery in a recent issue of ACS Nano.So far it has been challenging to develop high-performance wearable batteries due to a lack of materials that are both highly conductive yet strong and flexible enough to be woven into fabric. By addressing these issues, the new yarn battery exhibits one of the best performances to date, including a power density similar to that of supercapacitors, as well as an energy density and capacity similar to that of conventional batteries.”We utilize highly conductive and weavable yarns to fabricate a yarn battery with state-of-the-art performance in terms of capacity, energy density, power density, and rate capability,” Zhi told Phys.org. “The yarns are further weaved to make a wristband battery to power various personal electronics.”The core of the yarn battery consists of highly flexible micrometer-sized stainless steel filaments, onto which metals are deposited (zinc as the anode, nickel cobalt hydroxide as the cathode). A gel electrolyte is then coated around the entire piece of yarn. A new low-cost battery offers a hefty voltage and sustained energy capacity As the researchers explain, each material contributes to the good performance of the overall battery: The stainless steel yarn is strong enough to be woven and knitted by both machine and hand, and its conductivity also provides good long-distance electron transport. Synergistic effects between the nickel and cobalt metal ions boost the capacity and energy density values above those that would be possible using either metal alone.By the numbers, the battery delivers power densities of 2.2 W/cm3, and 33 mW/cm2 for the whole battery. It has energy densities of 8 mWh/cm3, and 0.12 mWh/cm2 for the whole battery. All of these values are among the highest reported to date. The battery’s capacity, 16.6 mAh/cm3, is the highest value so far reported for a fiber-based energy storage device, to the best of the researchers’ knowledge.After bending and twisting for 1,000 cycles, the battery retains 80% and 70% of its initial capacity, respectively. The researchers explain that the capacity loss is due to the formation of cracks on the electrodes when deformed.To demonstrate the battery, the researchers wove the conductive yarn into a large conductive cloth, which could be used as a wristband battery to power electronic devices such as watches and LEDs. They expect that the yarn battery will have applications for wearable electronics, smart garments, and in healthcare in the future.”Next we plan to make textile batteries that are washable, water-proof, and durable, in order to be closer to commercialization,” Zhi said. The flexible, conductive yarn can be woven or knitted into cloth, which can later be used to power various electronic devices. Credit: Huang et al. ©2017 American Chemical Society (Phys.org)—Researchers have fabricated rechargeable batteries by using highly conductive yarns that have a diameter and flexibility similar to that of a piece of cotton yarn. The new yarn battery can be woven into fabric and worn as a wristband or other type of clothing to power watches, LEDs, pulse monitors, and other small personal electronics. A wristband made of cloth woven from the new yarn battery can power a watch (left), LEDs (upper right), and a pulse sensor (bottom right). Credit: Huang et al. ©2017 American Chemical Society

Those are both great systems, but they don’t exactly hit the mark in all the categories I need. What I want is a laptop that can function as a premium gaming laptop just as well as it works as a business machine. What does that mean? Well, I want a laptop that I can comfortably play games on but also to take to work and use to write articles for over 8 hours without the machine dying: my very own white whale.MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro: Which 13-inch MacBook Is Right For You?Apple’s entry-level MacBook Air and Pro look pretty similar, but our testing proved they differ in crucial ways.Your Recommended PlaylistVolume 0%Press shift question mark to access a list of keyboard shortcutsKeyboard Shortcutsplay/pauseincrease volumedecrease volumeseek forwardsseek backwardstoggle captionstoggle fullscreenmute/unmuteseek to %SPACE↑↓→←cfm0-9接下来播放Which Cheap Tablet Is Best?

A premium aluminum chassis is a necessity.I love the Razer Blade 15’s external design, as it has a tight, sturdy body, so we’ll use that as a base. However, instead of Mercury White, we’ll paint it silver, like the XPS 15. I do love the Mercury White, but I prefer a more discreet, businesslike design.For the interior, we’ll also take more of a business approach and use some elements from the HP EliteBook x360 1040 G5. We’ll go with a black keyboard with two top-firing speakers on either side of it. However, for bezels, no laptop does it better than the new XPS 15, and that’s because Dell made its own tiny, proprietary, top-facing webcam to maintain the display’s InfinityEdge design.SpecsThis baby is going to be outfitted with, at the very least, an Intel Core i7-9750H processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU with 8GB of VRAM, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD.These are pretty standard specs for thin-and-light gaming laptops, but if I wanted to go nuts, I would want to ramp up the storage to a 1TB SSD — but not just any SSD. I’m talking about a devilish MacBook Pro-level SSD — you know, the one with 2GB-plus transfer speeds. Apple doesn’t have a monopoly on fast SSDs, so get to work, laptop makers.DisplayFor the display, I’m a reasonable man. All I want is a 15.6-inch, 1920 x 1080, matte panel that utilizes Nvidia G-Sync technology and has a refresh rate of 144 Hz. I’m not asking for 4K or even OLED, but what I want is a reasonably bright and vivid panel.I’d like to see a minimum of 150% of the sRGB color gamut covered, which is totally plausible, as we’ve seen with the Lenovo Legion Y7000 and the Dell G5 15 SE. In regards to brightness, however, I want at least 350 nits, which we did clock on laptops like the XPS 15.Keyboard and TouchpadIt’s easy to request a thick, comfortable keyboard, like the one on the Area-51m, but we’re not going to get a keyboard that badass in a laptop that’s only 0.7 inches thick. However, the perfect keyboard for my dream laptop isn’t a gaming one; instead, it’s one directly from HP’s EliteBook line.The EliteBooks sport some of the best keyboards and touchpads around, especially for business laptops. I need something that’s not only comfortable, but also agile enough that I can blast through articles in no time. The EliteBook x360 1040 G5 has the most tactile and responsive keyboard I’ve tested so far on a thin notebook. The only thing I would change would be to give it full-size arrow keys and function keys.I would also take everything about the EliteBook’s touchpad, as the premium glass design makes that pad incomparably soft. However, I’d make my touchpad as big as the Razer Blade 15’s 5 x 3-inch version, which extends to the very edge of the deck. And Windows 10 Precision drivers are a must. (I can’t believe I have to say that.)AudioI just want something that doesn’t sound like it’s coming out of a tin can. As soon as Rami Tabari sprung out of the College of Staten Island, he hit the ground running as a Staff Writer for Laptop Mag. He reviews every shape and form of a laptop as well as all sorts of cool tech. You can find him sitting at his desk surrounded by a hoarder’s dream of laptops, and when he navigates his way out to civilization, you can catch him watching really bad anime or playing some kind of painfully difficult game. He’s the best at every game and he just doesn’t lose. That’s why you’ll occasionally catch his byline in Tom’s Guide, taking on the latest Souls-like challenge. But seriously, getting a good pair of speakers in a gaming laptop is harder than I’d like to admit, which is why I mostly listen to audio via headphones. However, if I had to choose, I’d go with the top-firing Bang & Olufsen speakers in the HP EliteBook 840 G5. Those speakers had a great handle on bass, and the sound was full and accurately depicted the depth in any song I played.Battery LifeI want 8 hours of battery life. Just hear me out. I know battery life can be touch and go, especially because a lot of gaming laptops can barely achieve 3 hours. But we’ve recently seen some pretty wild numbers on strong, thin gaming laptops.The Razer Blade 15 nailed 5 hours and 2 minutes on the Laptop Mag battery test, and even better than that, the Gigabyte Aero 15 Classic survived a ridiculous 6 hours and 58 minutes on a charge. Both gaming laptops come armed with RTX 2070 GPUs, so while 8 hours might seem like a stretch right now, we’re really only an hour away from that paradise.OutlookLets recap: My dream laptop is a thin-and-light 15.6-inch gaming notebook with strong overall performance, a vivid 144-Hz display, a punchy keyboard, a pair of bangin’ speakers and workday-long battery life.What I want will probably be expensive and a pain in the ass to make, but it is possible. Most of my requests have appeared in some form or another in other laptops.Look at it this way: If we’re getting ridiculous dual-screen laptops and foldable notebooks, my request isn’t too far-fetched. So, let’s see who can make my dream gaming laptop first.

(AP photos) Top Stories Our NFL team stands trial this Sunday. So does Arizona’s rookie head coach. So does the entire organization.So does our status as a rising sports town.The Cardinals are 0-2 and rank among the worst teams in the NFL. This is not opinion. This is fact spawned from statistics, scoreboards and viewers swearing off an offense that struggles to reach midfield.The Diamondbacks can’t score, either, and don’t seem to care. Their September tank job is nearly complete. Before plummeting to new depths on Tuesday, they had posted a 4-12 record in their first 16 games of the stretch run. The Cardinals are facing a similar crisis. Head coach Steve Wilks said the team will scale back its offense. He also said it will get more creative with its play calling. If that sounds like a contradiction, it’s because the new head coach is scrambling.Two games into his tenure, Wilks is already on a hot seat. Not with team president Michael Bidwill. With football fans in Arizona who properly wonder how an NFL team can look this bad, who wonder if the former defensive coordinator is in over his head.Same with general manager Steve Keim. His draft record has been increasingly spotty. The team defended its subpar group of wide receivers against all evidence to the contrary, until the problem became too obvious to ignore. His best defenders keep ending up elsewhere, and he still hasn’t solved the offensive line or the cornerback opposite Patrick Peterson.Meanwhile, Josh Gordon was snapped up by the Patriots, a team that has reportedly made 28 transactions involving a wide receiver since league business commenced in March.The heat is also on offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, who was fired as offensive coordinator in Denver midway through the 2017 season. I thought McCoy was a perfect fit in Arizona, a seasoned wingman who could ease the burden on a rookie head coach, a flexible sort known to play to his strengths. Derrick Hall satisfied with D-backs’ buying and selling Grace expects Greinke trade to have emotional impact The Cardinals are staring at the same kind of numbers, a team that will be lucky to go 4-12. Our collective faith has been shaken.Related LinksDiamondbacks’ low point of season sinks further with loss to CubsThe Consensus Week 3: Cardinals fall after Los Angeles debacleWin or lose, ASU coach Herm Edwards doesn’t find sleep easy to come byCardinals dead last in several statistical categories: By the numbersThe Diamondbacks are looking at an inglorious end. The legend of Archie Bradley has been derailed. Paul Goldschmidt recently heard MVP chants from the crowd at Chase Field, except they were directed at Cubs star Javy Baez.Just before that awful moment, Baez took a baseball bat to the dugout bathroom, causing significant damage in frustration. It was more emotion than the Diamondbacks have shown all season.So what in the world went wrong?On Aug. 17, the Diamondbacks held a 1.5-game lead in the National League West. The Cardinals smothered the Saints in New Orleans, a meaningless but dominant preseason display that filled our tanks with false optimism. The Suns won the draft lottery earlier in the summer. Devin Booker had his contract. The Valley was lifting off to a new kind of future, anchored to a pair of draft-day coups in Josh Rosen and Deandre Ayton.Look at us now. The Diamondbacks might finish with a losing record. The Dodgers could clinch the division at Chase Field once again. Mounted police could be forced to defend the sanctity of our pool, enduring another round of national ridicule. Former Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson retires But the early results are indefensible. Former kicker Jay Feely said McCoy was partially to blame for not having a philosophy or identity to lean on in tough times like this. And on Wednesday, a popular website offered this advice to all fantasy football players:“Find someone other than David Johnson.”It’s too late for the Diamondbacks, a team that faces a major overhaul in the offseason, a franchise that squandered a division title and a chance at rare civic momentum. Arizona hasn’t posted successive postseason berths since 2002 — one-hit wonders once again.It’s getting late for the Cardinals. They face the ascending Bears on Sunday, offering another serious challenge for Arizona’s anemic offense. Through two weeks, NFL quarterbacks have posted 114 touchdown passes, the most in 17 years. The Cardinals have none, the only team incapable of exploiting handcuffed defenses in 2018.They get another chance to change the narrative on Sunday. They will be playing before an audience that will be cheering loudly for the opponent. Just like that, our bright future feels suspiciously like our pathetic past.Reach Bickley at dbickley@bonneville.com.

Flavours change constantly but expect at least 20 to choose from: perhaps sea salt caramel, blueberry and dark Ecuadorian chocolate or syrup sponge pudding (or all three) will take your fancy? New guest flavours are introduced every week. There’s a range of desserts too, from affogato and banana split to hot fudge sundae and even a gelato burger, made with a brioche bun (£3.50).

‘Call Me By Your Name,’ ‘Lady Bird’ land GLAAD nominations
June 30, 2014On Tuesday, June 24th, nearly 40 students from ASU’s SummerBridge program visited Arcosanti for the morning. The students are all rising 9th graders in ASU’s Preparatory High Schools, and will be attending the downtown Phoenix campus or the polytechnic campus this fall. [photos by Sue Kirsch, text by Kate Bemesderfer]For their summer program, they are investigating “author’s effect,” and this week, the emphasis is on architects. Having already visited Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West, the young scholars came to Arcosanti ready to explore the relationship between Paolo Soleri’s writing and the Arcosanti project itself. Tour guides Travis Shappell and Kate Bemesderfer gave each group a customized site tour (including some behind-the-scenes peeks), answered questions, and provided additional reading material (including an image of a page from one of Paolo’s own sketchbooks) from “Quaderno 11: Arcosanti.” The students displayed their intelligence and curiosity throughout the morning, asking questions and taking photos to gather information for what are sure to be some impressive essays!
