Cannibal! The Musical (Special Edition[!]) Director: Trey Parker Don't let the title fool you. This really is a musical. Fuckin goofier than shit, this first outing and somewhat bastard child of Parker and Stone (creators of South Park) would never have seen the light of day if not for our good friends at Troma. Why, you axe? Because they could. Because they could. Historical inaccuracies and homosexual innuendoes aside, I can't imagine why it hasn't risen the ranks of popularity to join the likes of its counter-part Oklahoma, as the introduction implies. A small band of miners sets out from Utah to find big riches and dreams in the gold rush allegedly taking place in Breckenridge, Colorado. Left suddenly with no guide, the die-hards quickly elect Alferd Packer (Parker, or "Schwartz" as he's credited), who's at least been there, to lead them. But the love of a horse and no fucking clue whatsoever as to how to get to their destination leaves most of the small band of men at each other's throats. Literally. And in the dead of winter in the mountains, to boot. You connect the dots. You can even hum along if you like. This movie is...what it is. A spoof on the old musicals, with some gay humor and minor bits of gore thrown in just to make it well-rounded. The music, well done, is that saccharine sappiness of the Rogers & Hammerstein era gone-by. Like any "worthwhile" movie, it is also a love story. Of a man, a woman, and a horse. And some dirty French trappers. And some Ute Indians who are of slightly suspicious origin. Seeing it is the only way to believe it. Shot in 16mm, it's been re-mastered to look and sound surprisingly decent, and pretty good as far as Troma productions are concerned. Based on a true story. Great Scene: The whole "Snowman" theme is altogether wrong, yet disturbingly catchy. The French trapper's song and dance is pretty well done also. DVD Notes: Troma was the last resort for distribution on this, and luckily knew they had a decent-enough product on their hands to give it a good treatment. The movie itself starts off with a decent little introduction by Troma President Lloyd Kaufman, telling us a little about the history of getting the movie released as well as his own little bits of humor, and then, well, pure insanity. Gotta hand it to Troma, plenty of extras and behind-the-scenes footage (including Lemmy! [yes, that one]), most of it pretty funny. Yeah, a lot of it's shameless promotions for their other stuff, but it's brilliant marketing in the least. Plus there's a quality, TRUE DMR commentary by Parker, Stone, and some of the cast and crew. Not quite as funny as you would expect, but still pretty funny (They get really trashed, complete with a bit of a "pause" and suspicious loss of commentary for a couple minutes,then they're absolute drunken fools heading off to the titty bar by the end.)

Jesse’s just found out that Tulip is married. Although she tries to console him, telling him that her and Viktor were just talking about getting a divorce, Jesse doesn’t seem to be listening. Instead, he’s dragging Viktor into his own torture room. Has Jesse finally snapped? Jesse’s sense of betrayal perhaps stems from his time with Tulip back in Dallas. In flashbacks from several years in the past, Tulip and Jesse are suffering from living a normal life. They’re trying to get pregnant, Tulip seems to be working a normal job, and Jesse is sinking into a depression on the couch — at least until yet another of Tulip’s secrets is revealed.

Types of Orbits What we have just described in the previous section is how a satellite orbits the Earth - it is just like the baseball that goes all the way around the Earth. Let's look at that in more detail. Low Earth Orbits Most satellites, the International Space Station, the Space Shuttle, and the Hubble Space Telescope are all in Low Earth Orbit (commonly called "LEO"). This orbit is almost identical to our previous baseball orbiting example, except that it is high enough to miss all the mountains and also high enough that atmospheric drag won't bring it right back home again. Advantages and Disadvantages of LEO Low Earth Orbit is used for things that we want to visit often with the Space Shuttle, like the Hubble Space Telescope and the International Space Station. This is convenient for installing new instruments, fixing things that are broken, and inspecting damage. It is also about the only way we can have people go up, do experiments, and return in a relatively short time. There are two disadvantages to having things so close, however. The first is that there is still some atmospheric drag. Even though the amount of atmosphere is far too little to breath, there is enough to place a small amount of drag on the satellite or other object. As a result, over time these objects slow down and their orbits slowly decay. Simply put, the satellite or spacecraft slows down and this allows the influence of gravity to pull the object towards the Earth. The second disadvantage has to do with how quickly a satellite in LEO goes around the Earth. As you can imagine, a satellite traveling 18,000 miles per hour or faster does not spend very long over any one part of the Earth at a given time. So what happens if we want a satellite to spend all of its time over just one part of the Earth? For instance, a weather satellite wouldn't be very effective for us in North America if it didn't have a long dwell time over us. (Dwell time = the time a satellite sits over one part of the globe.) Also, a communications satellite wouldn't work very well for us in North American if it spent most of its time over Africa or Asia. There are two ways to accomplish this. One solution is to put a satellite in a highly elliptical orbit and the other is to place the satellite in a geosynchronous orbit. Highly Elliptical Orbits Remember Kepler's second law: an object in orbit about Earth moves much faster when it is close to Earth than when it is farther away. Perigee is the closest point and apogee is the farthest (for Earth - for the Sun we say aphelion and perihelion). If the orbit is very elliptical, the satellite will spend most of its time near apogee (the furthest point in its orbit) where it moves very slowly. Thus it can be above home base most of the time, taking a break once each orbit to speed around the other side. With the highly elliptical orbit described above, the satellite has long dwell time over one area, but at certain times when the satellite is on the high speed portion of the orbit, there is no coverage over the desired area. To solve this problem we could have two satellites on similar orbits, but timed to be on opposite sides of the orbit at any given time. In this way, there will always be one satellite over the desired coverage area at all times. If we want continuous coverage over the entire planet at all times, such as the Department of Defense's Global Positioning System (GPS), then we must have a constellation of satellites with orbits that are both different in location and time. In this way, there is a satellite over every part of the Earth at any given time. In the case of the GPS system, there are three or more satellites covering any location on the planet. Another solution to the dwell time problem is to have a satellite always sitting over the same location on the planet. The way we do this is to have the orbital period of the satellite exactly the same as the rotation period of the Earth, which is one day. This is called a geosynchronous orbit, or GEO for short. In this case, the satellite can not be too close to the Earth because we already figured out that it would not be going fast enough to counteract the pull of gravity. If you recall, the space shuttle, in order to stay aloft, must circle the planet every 90 minutes. We can use Kepler's third law to figure out how far out a satellite must be to spend all its time over one part of Earth. answer is that a satellite has to be placed approximately 22,000 miles (36,000 km) away from the surface of the Earth in order to remain in a GEO orbit. That is a lot farther than a low Earth orbit, or a relatively close highly eccentric GPS-like orbit, so it costs more to get it there. then you only need one satellite to do the job and it is on the job 24 hours per day. By positioning a satellite so that it has infinite dwell time over one spot on the Earth, we can constantly monitor the weather in one location, provide reliable telecommunications service, and even beam television signals directly to your house. If you have satellite TV at home, notice that the small dish antenna outside is pointing at the same location in the sky at all times. There is a geosynchronous satellite sitting 22,000 miles away in that direction sending the signal to your house! The down side of a geosynchronous orbit is that it is more expensive to put something that high up and not possible to repair it from the shuttle. When a satellite is in LEO, the shuttle can repair it if needed, as we have done with the Hubble Space Telescope several times. So you only put something in GEO if you really need to have it in the same location in the sky at all times. If it is hard to appreciate the value of these satellites, consider the following true story: One of the people responsible for this web site was on a small freighter (ship) on its way from Sweden to the US in November of 1959. The ship had just reached a particularly nasty part of the North Sea (not too far from the rocky coast of Scotland) when it was caught in a storm that had not been predicted or seen. several days, the ship tossed back and forth on waves as big as it was - or bigger - tipping more than 30 degrees each way. (If you have "The Perfect Storm" then you have some idea of what that was like.) This ship made it to port some days later, but quite a not, in that storm. A couple of year later, the first weather satellites were launched, and no ship has been caught by a surprise storm since

Right: Composite image of how Travis may look at 21 years of age (circa 2009) Travis Jay Zwieg Missing since March 10, 1991 from Pinyon Pines, Riverside, California. Classification: Endangered Missing / Lost Circumstances of Disappearance Zwieg was last seen in the hills above Palm Desert in California on March 10, 1991. He disappeared on a Sunday morning in the Santa Rosa Mountains community of Pinyon Pines. His father had brought him to a concrete-block cabin to spend the weekend. Zwieg was playing with four dogs outside the cabin when he needed to go to the bathroom. His father took him into some bushes about 10:30 a.m., left him there, and went back to work on some saws. When Zwieg hadn't returned 10 minutes later, his father went looking for him. He couldn't find him. More than 70 rescue workers searched for almost a week after Travis disappeared. Others searched from helicopters with infrared equipment to detect body heat. The last day, 100 inmates from county jails were brought in to search the hillsides before a fierce winter storm hit. The searchers found nothing. Temperatures dropped below freezing at night that week. The storm brought snow, hail and rain. After four nights, officials said he could not have survived. An aerial search two months later using infrared equipment again turned up nothing. Law enforcement authorities explored the possibility of a kidnapping. They followed several tips that people had been seen with a boy matching Travis' description. None of the tips panned out. Zwieg's parents took lie detector tests and were cleared of any involvement in his disappearance. If you have any information concerning Zwieg's whereabouts, please contact: Riverside County Sheriff's Department All information may be submitted anonymously. Agency Case Number: 091069011 NCMEC #: NCMC752052 Please refer to this number when contacting any agency with information regarding this case. California Department of Justice

Africa is on the brink of a smartphone revolution with renewed mass market penetration into the African and South African market already underway thanks to a host of new entry level models from well-known brands like Samsung, Nokia, Blackberry and others as well as numerous ‘unknowns’ from China. Against this backdrop the Starcom MediaVest Group’s digital division Liquid Thread, under the stewardship of strategist Eric Van Rookhuyzen, is championing the rise of digital in the local market. The local market for smartphones is diversifying. Whereas before it was a purely high end segment there are now also distinct middle and entry level brands. This means the price of smartphones is definitely dropping, in fact they’re becoming so ubiquitous that consumers can now even buy them on their clothing account. Another driver of smartphone uptake is the development of a data pricing war amongst most of the local mobile operators MTN, Vodacom, Cell C and 8.ta/Telkom mobile and with products like FNB Connect. This coupled with the recent launch of the high speed LTE network will add to the user experience and given that research shows that use of these high speed networks leads to increased data usage, we can only expect smartphone usage to increase. Already 90% of South African Facebook users access the social networking site through their mobile phone in South Africa. Mobile phones really are like the new ‘cigarettes’ of today’s time – they are with you everywhere, 24/7/365,” he says. “The key insights we’re focusing on from an advertising perspective, is the shift between mobile web/wap browsing vs app use. If we look at the way users decide on their new phone model i.e. Samsung, BlackBerry, Nokia or iPhone, we know that operating systems (IOS, Android or BBOS) play a key role in the purchasing decision process. The availability of available apps also play a huge role and I believe this will play a massive part when media strategists plan for mobile elements. Other issues that media agencies face include: should campaigns be placed on publisher’s mobisites, or in the actual apps themselves. What we do know about mobile browsing is that the availability of a reliable search function is a main user requirement, which also lends itself to the question, aside from general targeting considerations for media strategies, would we have to look at SEO rankings to ensure we reach the right audience on mobile browsing? But, more strategically the opportunity for brands to exercise the opportunity to ‘live’ on a consumer’s personal day to day device is very exciting. Despite a number of new advertising agencies starting up, he believes that there is place for both in house and external digital agencies but adds that in house agencies lend themselves to more cohesive digital strategies from a media planning strategy point of view. I often stress to our traditional media strategists and planners that they shouldn’t view digital as a separate discipline. The accurate detailed data that the digital aspects of a campaign produce is invaluable in helping shape future campaigns and leads to far more accurate allocation of future budgets. This type of insight allows our clients to adjust budgets according to the data that we can provide, so digital definitely has a double function as a research tool – that truly is the beauty of it!

LaGuardia Airport may have long lines, leaking ceilings and mold. But at least it has walls. A new survey of about 26,000 passengers on airports all over the world deemed LaGuardia rock-bottom nationally but Nigeria's Port Harcourt International Airport took honors for being the worst in the world. Passengers criticized Nigeria's airport for corrupt workers, broken air conditioning and a tent for new arrivals instead of an actual building with walls, according to the recently released survey. The Guide to Sleeping in Airports, a travel website, surveyed about 26,000 passengers on airports all over the world. LaGuardia was christened the worst airport in North America, while Vancouver International Airport was named the best. Flyers praised the Vancouver air hub for being comfortable and welcoming. Its perks include unlimited free Wi-Fi, showers, and luggage storage.While New York's LaGuardia Airport has walls, Vice President Joe Biden likened it to a "third-world country" in 2014. Gov. Cuomo announced a plan over the summer to overhaul it completely, with new terminals, ferry service, and an AirTrain. Newark and JFK Airport did not do well in the passenger survey as well, ranking fifth and ninth worst respectively. The Port Authority did not immediately comment on it. "Passengers know that our airports are too far behind the rest of the country," said Joe Sitt, the chairman of the airport advocacy group Global Gateway Alliance. "It's good that there are major improvements planned, but those will take years. LaGuardia, JFK and Newark need better amenities and reduced delays now to bring them into the 21st century and change these poor perceptions."

Ideas never die. At no point does this age old maxim seem more relevant than in the age of the Internet where they will literally live on in the panoply of media that we now have around us to communicate. The difficulty in eradicating such ideas was made visible this past month in the incarceration in the UK of Mohammed Ahad and Mohammed Kamali, two men found guilty of being webmasters for Abdullah el Faisal’s Authentic Tauheed online empire. But while both the webmasters and the preacher are now sitting in jail, until this past month the website lived on, with Faisal’s words of ‘entering the lizard hole’ providing the world with a constant reminder of his brutal perspectives. Now that it is down, Faisal’s words may be a little harder to find, but some quick digging shows how they live on scattered around the web. Unlike most of the other radical preachers from Londonistan, it was Faisal’s words that got him incarcerated. On 14 December 2001, police in Dorset pulled over a car driven by Richard Chinyoka. A convert, Chinyoka was a brutal and manipulative misogynist – raping women, forcibly converting some, burning their feet, beating them and then rubbing salt in their wounds, and generally being a very nasty piece of work. As police went through his belongings, they found a bunch of cassette tapes (still a favoured medium at the time!) which included presentations by Abdullah el Faisal. Full of fire and brimstone the speeches advocated murder, robbery and stirred racial hatred. Shocked by what they heard, police investigated further and found similar cassettes widely available in some religious shops in London. This led to his arrest and eventual conviction on charges of stirring up racial hatred and inciting murder. Legislation, it should be added, that dated back to the 1860s. It did not silence him, however, and his cassettes, and increasingly online versions of them, continued to live on. Either in copied CDs or cassettes, or shared around as MP3 files online. The July 7 bombers in the UK were fans, having heard him in person they listened to his recordings as they went around Pakistan preparing for their attack. One of the men accused of being a planner of the Airlines plot in 2006 was found to have in his spartan accommodation in Barking very little aside from jihadi material (in Arabic which he did not understand, but enjoyed the images) and MP3s of Abdullah el Faisal’s sermons. At the time Faisal was in jail and by the time of the trial against the airline plotters he had been released and sent to Jamaica. In 2008 his website Authentic Tauheed started up, though for the first few years it appeared to largely be a repository for others’ work – including Anwar al Awlaki (a man who he had cast takfeer on in the past), and other prominent jihadists. It took until January 2011 for him to start posting his own material on there, including live sermons he was giving. He was, however, already using the site as a center point for his online PalTalk speeches and contacts with his radical flock around the world. He was also using the site as a way to host online conferences which brought together prominent al Muhajiroun and other extremists to speak alongside him. The point at which he started to delegate responsibilities to others to run the site is unclear, but by the mid-2010s his webmasters were being arrested in the United States. Their role, as was shown in some detail during the recently concluded case in the UK, was to act as transcribers, connectors and filters of Faisal’s speeches and presentations. They would help manage the platforms he was using to communicate with his global flock and help get his ideas out in a form that others could read, listen to and disseminate. This role stretched between the online and offline world, but it meant that for some time Abduallah el Faisal, by some counts one of the most derided of the Londonistani preachers, was the most followed. While the others were incarcerated or killed, Faisal’s new and old sermons and recordings continued to show up online. While many extremists were motivated by the ease with which they could access him online, once he was removed or silenced, it did little to stop his appeal. His fanatical screeds would continue to inspire and showed up repeatedly amongst the possessions of committed jihadists fighting alongside either Islamic State or al Qaeda. His arrest, his site’s removal and his webmasters’ incarceration may slow down the rate of dissemination, but his speeches, videos and tapes can still be found online, and will likely continue to feature on the playlists of violent extremists for a long time to come.

McNaughton's withdrawal left just Barrie MP Patrick Brown and deputy PC leader Christine Elliott in the race, and he's backing Brown, a backbencher who chairs the federal Conservatives' Greater Toronto Area caucus. Elliott is supported by the same party establishment and backroom operatives that allowed the Liberals to win four consecutive elections, while Brown has "the energy and ability" to reform the Tories, McNaughton said. "He's 36. I'm 38, and I think the choice is clear for people: it is the same old party establishment versus change," he said. "I don't want to see the people that have been running campaigns for the last 20 years run the campaign in 2018. We will have another devastating result." McNaughton, who was a distant third in membership sales and fundraising, said he and Brown have similar views on how to rebuild the once powerful party. "I believe that we need an agent of change in the PC party," he said. Brown, who doesn't have a seat in the Ontario legislature, also criticized Elliott as the favoured candidate of the Tory establishment. "This leadership contest has become what we always knew it was: a choice between the same old, same old, and a fresh start to rebuild our party," he said. Elliott, the widow of former finance minister Jim Flaherty, said she wasn't surprised McNaughton threw his support to Brown, saying both were representative of the American "Tea Party" style of thinking. "They are much more on the right-wing side of the party and socially conservative, and I think really out of touch with mainstream Ontario," she said. Elliot said she offered a "positive, pragmatic and truly progressive conservative vision," and called Brown "an untested candidate with nothing more to offer than a life lived as a career politician" who has no substantive record. Brown, who was first elected to Barrie city council while attending university and later elected to Parliament at age 27, surprised everyone by selling over 41,000 PC memberships. But the Elliott campaign says his support is concentrated in a small number of ridings while hers is broadly based across the province. The ballots will be weighted so each of the 107 ridings gets 100 votes for the leader, so where memberships were sold is just as important as how many. All PC members will be eligible to vote for the leader May 3 and 7, with the results to be announced at a convention in Toronto on May 9. The Brown and Elliott campaigns have been trading barbs for weeks, with Brown claiming Elliott's team used phone calls to harass some of his supporters while Elliott accused Brown of hiding how much money his campaign has raised. "This has been a trend since it became apparent that we had a membership lead of up to 3-to-1 on Ms. Elliott," Brown said of the attacks from his rival. The latest postings with Elections Ontario show Elliott raised $780,000 in donations, compared with $752,500 for Brown and $118,000 for McNaughton. There had been five candidates, but North Bay MPP Vic Fedeli and Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod withdrew earlier and threw their support to Elliott. Follow @CPnewsboy on Twitter Also on HuffPost

This morning, Catherine took pictures on our morning walk for a photo essay she planned to write about on her blog, Reading to the Core. Her version of our walk is well-illustrated. Me? I had to steal a photo (below). We walk early in the morning on the weekends and during the summer….usually 6:30 or 7:00 AM. We have been walking on Saturdays and Sundays through our town’s fairgrounds for almost 20 years, trying to answer life’s burning questions while we burn a few calories. Despite the predictable routine, there is always something of a surprise. Catherine is very observant. She calls my attention to natural phenomenon…a hornet’s nest, a gaping hold that was once a knot in a tree, a pair of hawks sitting in trees, a frosted spider’s web, a pond full of fat tadpoles. This morning, she snapped this photo of pussy willows growing beside that pond lying dormant, waiting to stir with fat tadpoles. The furry little “flower buds” in her photo are covered with soft, silvery hairs. These are the bud’s “fur coat” that helps to keep the developing reproductive parts of the flower warm. These hairs trap the heat from the sun in a kind of insulating wrap. The willow flowers will be fully “open” when the yellow pollen and stigma are visible. Barring bad weather, we will be walking past this pond next weekend and the weekend after that. We will notice the same changes we have seen over 20 years on our walk…and still, there will something that will surprise us.

Tuesday, August 2, 2016 Sixth Year of Projects - Week 5 I am a bit late this week in updating my progress. This past week was Vacation Bible School at our church and I was busy with that. Once that was done hubby and I took a couple days off and relaxed!! We got back home last night and I am just now getting things updated! Since this past week was quite busy I did not get around to many projects. I did however get a fair bit done on my Tour de Sock Stage 6 socks. I was really hoping to get the pair done by the deadline but did not make it. I did manage to complete one sock and have 2.5 repeats plus the cuff left to do on the second sock. I expect that this will be a finish to report for my next update!!

We’re on a Polyroll here, folks! When most people think of Sonic The Hedgehog, the first thing that comes to mind is ridiculous manimal drama speed. But there were a few other aspects to the character’s original moveset, including his spin attack and rolling ability. What if you shifted the focus to spinning and rolling while ignoring speed almost entirely? That’s the question that indie platformer Polyroll sets out to answer. Polyroll has players taking on the persona of a single woodlouse tasked with rescuing his kind from a nasty bird. As the titular pill bug sporting a pretty shell and fancy footwear, you’ll traverse a handful of very trippy, colorful worlds before fighting the fowl (ha) feathered fiend. Fortunately, Polyroll is adept at crushing enemies with his rolling attack, and knows exactly how to make use of assorted elemental shields to aid him in his quest. Clearing out a few bugs. Anybody with even a cursory familiarity with classic Sonic will find their muscle memory kicking in right away. Not only does Polyroll do his own version of the spin attack, but he’s able to rev up on the spot, spin-dash style. The latter affords our hero the ability to bounce and ricochet off walls. Mastering this ability becomes crucial, as later on in the game it opens up alternative paths and leads you to secrets. It’s all good, but I feel the control is slightly more floaty than it needs to be. Nonetheless, it controls decently and the frustration level is minimal. Curiously absent from this game is a lives system and a score counter. Our dear roly poly can die as many times as he wants (which is probably none at all), but this is compensated by the lack of checkpoints in any of the levels. Honestly, you won’t need any, as this title is pretty easy. Perhaps a bit too easy. Platform veterans will burn through it like a bug caught in a zapper. But whether or not you’re new to platformers or a seasoned veteran, you’ll have a hell of a time with the addictive, simple gameplay and gorgeous retro aesthetic. It’s also helped by the array of clever boss battles. I actually found myself looking forward to these battles and enjoyed them immensely whenever I fought. They’re not terribly tough and there’s little in the way of strategy, but they’re fun and clever. Rather than rings, our determined little bug collects colorful gems, both large and small. Small gems are scattered throughout the levels (though they become considerably rarer in the latter part of the game) and help Polyroll restore one health point for every ten collected. It’s an interesting twist from the arbitrary standard of collecting for its own sake or to fill some superfluous high score table. In addition, three large gems appear in hidden areas in the levels, and these are crucial for game progression and some nifty bonuses. New worlds are often locked behind a gem paywall, and gems also allow Polyroll to access “heart palaces”; simple time-based arenas that allow players to snag more hit points and which bear more than a striking resemblance to the special stages from the 8-bit Sonic The Hedgehog. And while we’re on the subject of visuals! Polyroll has an interesting pixel art style that meshes together Sonic-style psychedelics with 256-color VGA graphics from the final years of MS-DOS. It’s almost as if this is what Sonic The Hedgehog would have been like if it were developed by Apogee instead of Sega! The music and sound effects are functional, though somewhat less remarkable. It’s fully competent chip music, though none of the tracks particularly stuck out for me. However, if you really enjoy the game’s blips and bloops, you may purchase the soundtrack separately. Polyroll is a very cute, clean, and competent platformer which manages to simultaneously wear its inspiration on its sleeve while forging its own unique identity. The only thing preventing me from giving it a higher rating is the low difficulty level. It’s tempting to say that this game is aimed towards younger players, but the design doesn’t really lend itself to that theory. If you can forgive the lack of challenge, you’ll be charmed by the clever level design, creative bosses, and the gorgeous retro aesthetic. Are you a Sonic fan? Then get this. Are you a platform fan? Then get this. If you’re a Steam user, then you need to roll on over here to snag your own copy. Alternatively, you can check out the Nintendo store to grab a copy for your Switch.

Well this post of sketches and the next post marks my 1 year anniversary as a live caricature artist, as I started at the end of August in 2006. again, technically, it's almost 2 years from today as a caricature artist, but I still have a few thousand sketches to go through and post, so these sketches are about 10 months old. I think my sketch has grown a lot. mostly, I think I feel more comfortable with the basics of everything- the tools, doing a solid saleable sketch etc. and getting my confidence up to draw more "me" which I'm still trying to do. I want to continue to experiment and push things even more. There's a LOT of things I want to try out. Lots of crazy ideas I've always had in mind but didn't feel as comfortable with. I still have just as much excitement and enthusiasm with every sketch, if not even more so, since I started. cat from six flags. she just started caricatures this year, show's a lot of promise. she also has a hat. that she lives in. or not...but probably. all cats live in hats. except for the ones I eat, y'know cause I'm asian and we eat cats. and dogs and sometimes rice. ok, we eat rice all the time. I'm eating rice right now. and doing calculus. and driving badly into a laundromat. and getting shorter by the second. drawn by Mike Crawford, Dorney park manager. One of THE best sketches out there. It's a shame he doesn't take many pictures of his sketches. This customer couldn't decide on what she wanted and Mike goes "fighting Godzilla, it is then!" she didn't really argue. A bit later into the drawing, Mike goes, "ok, you don't really have to have that...but if you don't decide soon, it's going to be you fighting Godzilla." obviously, she didn't think of something else. watching Mike draw is awesome, he just goes at it, and comes up with these awesome poses and stuff without any hesitation. and yup, that's Mike in the background being silly, hee hee. Sept 2007 sketches coming up!

MIAMI BEACH, FL - January 20, 2010 -Dialogic Corporation ("Dialogic"), a global provider of world-class products and technologies for media and signal processing, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Ingate® Systems ("Ingate") which allows Dialogic to incorporate the award-winning SIP Trunking software module from Ingate into a new enterprise border element designed to connect virtually any SIP trunk with virtually any PBX, to facilitate seamless SIP trunk deployments in legacy TDM and hybrid PBX environments, as well as new SIP-based PBX systems. "PBX's are transitioning from the traditional TDM PBX's to hybrid PBX's, IP-PBXs, and Unified Communications solutions creating a heterogeneous TDM/SIP trunk environment and there is a significant opportunity to provide connectivity and security between public and private networks," said Franz-Josef Eberle, Vice President and General Manager for the Enterprise Market Group at Dialogic. "Dialogic is meeting this growing demand by combining Ingate's proven SIP Trunking technology with Dialogic's extensive PBX and PSTN media gateway technology." The Ingate SIP Trunking software module provides enterprise session border control along with the advanced routing capabilities necessary to connect SIP trunks to enterprise networks and branch offices by employing Ingate's proxy-based traversal and security technology. The SIP Trunking software also is designed to resolve interoperability issues between service providers' SIP services and the SIP-based systems being deployed inside corporate data networks today.

BERLIN (Reuters) - The G20 group of leading economies must find a solution to excess capacity in the global steel industry, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday, adding that overproduction in some countries was causing job losses elsewhere. Merkel said Germany, which takes over the G20 presidency next month, would push for a collective solution for the worldwide glut that has dampened steel prices for years and raised tensions between China and other major producers. European and U.S. leaders have pressed China to accelerate capacity cuts, blaming its big exports for slumping prices and accusing it of dumping cheap steel in foreign markets. “For example, at the G20 summit in China, we discussed in a very open manner overproduction in the steel sector, which is resulting in people in the steel industry losing their jobs,” Merkel said in her weekly podcast. “We must solve this problem together, so that we don’t have a situation where one country wreaks damage on other countries,” Merkel added. China has vowed to cut capacity by 45 million tonnes this year, though it said in August it was behind on that target. Last month, the European Union set provisional import duties on two types of steel entering the bloc from China to counter what it said were unfairly low prices. The measure was criticized by Beijing, which accused the bloc of engaging in protectionism. Some 5,000 jobs have been axed in the British steel industry in the past year as it struggles to compete with cheap Chinese imports and high energy costs. G20 leaders pledged at a summit in China in September to work together to address excess steel capacity that has punished the global industry with low prices for years.

How GDA has been supporting our deaf and hard of hearing communities during lockdown For the last few weeks the GDA team has been working round the clock to ensure the services and support we provide to thousands of people living with deafness across Gloucestershire and the surrounding areas, can continue wherever possible, during the lockdown period. As it's Deaf Awareness Week, we've put together this little infographic to show you just how we have risen to the challenges faced, to provide vital services to our deaf and hard of hearing communities. From hosting over nine hours of British Sign Language (BSL) virtual social events and regular news updates, to calling over 720 people to 'check-in' and offer support and advise on their hearing aids and specialist listening aid equipment, and producing eight signed bedtime stories for deaf children and their families, GDA has continued to put the needs of people living with deafness at the heart of what it does. Like all charities, GDA faces an uncertain future thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, and now more than ever the services and support GDA offers are needed by those living with a condition that is so often overlooked and underestimated. If you're able to make a donation to GDA, you will be helping to ensure we can continue to be there for the people who need us most, tomorrow and in to the future. Please give what you can by clicking here.

Complementary Therapists > Medical Conditions > Anxiety What is Anxiety? Anxiety is a state of apprehension or fear, either real or imagined, resulting from anticipation of a threatening event or situation. Anxiety attacks - also known as panic attacks - are periods when the individual feels intense bouts of fear or panic. Attacks usually arrive unannounced and may, or may not, have an obvious cause. Anxiety attacks reach a climax after about ten minutes and usually subside within thirty minutes. During these panic attacks the sense of terror can be so severe that anxiety sufferers may feel that they are about to die. What Causes Anxiety ? Research suggests that imbalances in the chemical make-up of the brain may have a role to play in people that suffer from anxiety or panic attacks. It is not known if the chemical imbalance is the cause, or is a result of, this medical condition. There may be hereditary factors involved also which may be genetic or may simply be a learned behaviour. Anxiety or panic attacks may be caused by a single stressful event or may be due to a gradual build up of stress over time. Stress can be positive for the mind and body if managed appropriately however if it is not regularly relived via healthy means, such as regular vigorous exercise, then adverse symptoms may emerge. Anxiety attacks are a frequent manifestation of unreleased stress. If a panic attack is caused by this in the first instance the person experiencing the attack may not recognise any particular trigger. This can add further to the stress as the sufferer becomes concerned that an anxiety attack may occur at any time regardless of the circumstances or the surroundings. Some panic attacks are as a consequence of an underlying illness or other condition. An example would be a claustrophobic person feeling anxiety and reacting severely and in panic to finding himself / herself in a tight space such as an elevator. The sense of breathlessness that asthma sufferers feel may induce an attack. In these cases if the underlying conditions are managed then the panic attacks and feelings of anxiety should subside. What is a Panic Attack? A panic or anxiety attack is a bout of acute and deep foreboding and fear. The attacks are normally sudden and with little or no warning. Some anxiety sufferers have little problem recognising the cause of their attack but for others the cause can remain a mystery. Most panic attacks are accompanied by some or all of the following symptoms; nausea, hyperventilation, sense of loss of control, racing or irregular heartbeat, chest pain, choking feeling, trembling, hot flushes, and a sense of detachment from the surroundings. Symptoms of Anxiety Disorder If you feel that you are suffering from an anxiety disorder there are a number of symptoms or signs that you should watch out for: Everyone feels anxious from time to time and this is quite normal. It is not normal to be consumed or overwhelmed by anxiety though and if you recognise one or more of the above symptoms in yourself then it is time to so something about it. When your anxiety is ever-present or is overwhelming you must act to address your disorder. How to Prevent Anxiety and Panic Attacks There are effective ways of avoiding anxiety and preventing panic attacks. If your anxiety disorder is so bad the you regularly have panic attacks then you will need to seek treatment for your anxiety. The good news is that anxiety disorders respond well to treatment. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Cognitive behaviour therapy is a psychotherapeutic treatment that helps you to consciously recognise and confront the negative thoughts and emotions, and the irrational beliefs that are causing your anxiety. Exposure therapy is a mechanism whereby you are gradually exposed to the circumstances or events that trigger your panic attacks. This is done in a controlled way so the sufferer never feels out of control of the situation. Through the process of frequent and regular exposures to the negative stimuli sufferers are gradually desensitised to their panic attack triggers. Medication to Treat Anxiety Disorder There are drugs that can be used to treat people that suffer from acute anxiety. They include antidepressants and benzodiazepines which can be used in isolation but for most people they work best in parallel with behavioural therapy. The period of use will depend upon the severity of the condition, the nature of the panic attacks, and whether other non-drug therapies are also employed. Some anxiety sufferers only require medication when they have to confront specific situations e.g. flying. Complementary Therapies to Help Cure Acne If you wish to avoid taking drugs to treat your anxiety there are a number of complementary and alternative treatments that have proven to be paticularly helpful in relieveing and dispelling anxiety. Such therapies include Reiki, Kinesiology, CranioSacral, and Homeopathy. If you have tried conventional methods without finding a cure for your anxiety or panic attacks there are a number of complementary therapists listed on this site that may have the solution to your difficulties.

On a Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago, several International students visited me. One girl said, “I have a gift for you.” I said,”What is it?” She held up two fingers, ‘I was saved at the Chinese Church. I have new birth two days ago.” Several times she repeated her claim of being a two-day-old newborn. We hugged. I was so happy for her. That is the best gift I could have been given – to know one of my loved ones stepped into a real spiritual life on a new journey. Here are some more stories about some of my loved International students. Hope you enjoy reading how God works in student’s lives.

Bajan band Cover Drive have previously described some of their biggest influences as No Doubt and Black Eyed Peas and it's clear after listening to their debut album 'Bajan Style', that in terms of the whole Fergie/Gwen Stefani female lead, 21 year old Amanda Reifer couldn't be picked to play a better role! Amanda has a pretty rare quality in the fact that she has the ability to flip from a ballad, such as their chart topper 'Twilight', to a slightly sassier 'Rihanna style' track, such as debut single 'Lick Ya Down'. The tracks that stand out the most have to be title track 'Bajan style' - which definitely shows off the bands Barbados roots, and another slightly more upbeat track 'Headphones', which emphasises the bands' musical ability and raw talent. With lyrics such as 'Boy I want to put you on repeat, you will be the bass of my heartbeat...', it's easy to compare Amanda to fellow Bajan beauty Rihanna - however, this band definitely have their own sound and the album has some sure fire, catchy hits! Job well done. Check out the video for Cover Drive's 'Sparks' below:

Working out when to harvest your mangoes? Figure 4 Individual mango flowers Flowering season is here for the mango industry and with it the promise of the harvest ahead. So it is a good time to start thinking about maturity indicators and which tools to use. Heat sums are a way of predicting your maturity based on flowering information and seasonal temperature. The formula adds the daily average temperatures until a pivotal heat unit is reached. You can calculate your own heat sums or use an online calculator. For more information on the heat sum calculator and how to use it, go to the Northern Territory Government website. Dry matter is essentially a calculation of the water content of fruit, it is an easy method for determining maturity. The Industry standard for dry matters at harvest is 15%. Near infra read (NIR) spectroscopy Near infra-red (NIR) spectroscopy guns are a non-invasive way to read the colour of your fruit flesh, and determine sweetness and maturity. Flesh colour test Some growers cut a set number of fruit to judge the internal quality before harvesting. You can request a set of flesh colour cards to compare against your crop by calling (08) 8999 2323 or emailing email@example.com. Last updated: 10 July 2017 Share this page:URL copied!

So it’s been over two years since I posted anything on my blog. No I have not been busy or anything even remotely close, it’s just that I have been lazy. Just thought of breaking this prolonged period of laziness and writing something which probably no one will read. But what the heck, at least, I’m writing. A lot has happened since 2011 when I last wrote. Aly who came into our lives in April 2011 is growing up at the rate of knots, and both Dimple and I are running out of ideas to keep her occupied so that she doesn’t go back to her favorite task of ransacking cupboards and kitchen shelves! Kids are very ingenious, they always find ways to reach places where their natural height and reach doesn’t allow them to. Something interesting lying on the kitchen shelf, no problem, we’ll just get the center table stool and climb onto it to reach whatever it is that drew her attention in the first place. Be it raw onions, ginger, garlic, or the bottle of cooking oil, which by the way she’s already spilled once. Papa’s wallet or mom’s dressing cupboard are fair game as well! Every evening she has to empty out my wallet and see what goodies lie therein. Though it’s just the regular cards and some cash. But her favorite target is Dimple’s office notebook which she loves scribbling onto, now that a scolding happens if she targets the walls. On a different note, Dad passed last April five days after Aly turned one. Though death is inevitable, one never thinks it could happen to your loved ones. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss him. More so because Aly is so much like him, her mannerisms, smile, the way she chews whatever little food she eats, the way she walks, and more than anything else her arms are miniature a replica of dads’. Thank God for this, just hope that she has also inherited the wisdom of her grandfather, because her father is still trying to find some of his own!

Former marketing manager of Google, Adam Singer seems to be fed up of living in Bay Area after over 10 years of living in the area because of the home prices which are rising astronomically and the lack of progress in the city as a whole. In a string of tweets this past Wednesday, Adam had shared his problems with San Francisco and had announced that post his trip to Austin, he along with his wife and dogs will be soon moving to the capital of Texas, which is known for its increasingly growing start up culture along with its bar-b-que. He said that in the amount for which a person can rent a house in San Francisco, a person can buy a house of their choice in Texas which he also called beautiful with great food and music scenario along with the reasonable housing. Adam has already purchased a house there and now started working with a design center on construction of that house. As the prices of houses are rising in San Francisco, many residents are contemplating whether it is even worth living in the region. In a recent study it was revealed that residents of the Bay Area, 44% of them, polled that they would like to leave the region in the coming areas. The main reason for this has been the pressure of high housing costs. Adam Singer had also in an earlier interview told that it is very frustrating for him after two years of house hunting to not find anything that he can afford. He also believed that he was easily able to find a house for half a million dollars that also looked very beautiful Daniel Serrano had acquired considerable experience in writing and editing publications before recruited by Daily Industry Updates news portal as Editorial Manager. His key task is to conduct effective business reviews based on the most recent business strategies. Due to his stronghold and understanding over finance, marketing, business, and trade-related topics, he is known as a business counselor among the staff. His expertise in business-related topics is quite impressive. His business-related concepts are on fingertips, which aids in illustrating the business-related articles in brief and defined way, clear to even an amateur. He pursued his post graduation in Finance from a UK-based university.

chris-littlechild - June 30, 2012 The sci-fi shooter/horror mélange that is Aliens: Colonial Marines has finally deigned to lend us some definitive knowledge-nuggets. Since 2001, the concept at the nucleus of the project has largely floated freely, a formless miasma of wonderful potential. E3 2012's camaraderie-carnival, where developers gleefully parade their wares with all the balls-out bodaciousness of a randy peacock (or alcohol-addled celebrity who left their abode sans-underwear once more); makes plain the remarkable and encouraging strides the project has taken. With the vast array of flamboyant, drag queen-esque attention-monopolizing at the show, Colonial Marines did not stay home and eat festering beans straight from the tin like a piteous gaucho in seclusion. "Giant gorilla balls to that," the game was heard to proclaim. Amid some fleeting staccato volleys of gameplay, such as this protracted demonstration from gamespot; the show's shitstorm-furore further yielded the screens you see above. The game resembles an amalgamation of Dead Space-y, Doom 3-y goretacularly grandiose gunplay. (Two fine titles to merge in a blender, I'm sure many a player will attest. As females of the species worldwide howl with chagrin that their homemade fruit smoothies will eternally taste of plastic residue thereafter, the resultant title is certainly worthy of buying some replacement kitchen gadgetry.) The proof, as always, is in the perusal, so be sure to admire the gallery. Images courtesy of kotaku.

French Creusois cake 4 egg whites (at room temperature) 100 g of flour 100 g ground hazelnuts (toasted and unpeeled) 200 g sugar 125 g soft butter 1 sachet of vanilla sugar Preheat the oven to 180°C. Add all the dry ingredients – such as sugar, flour, hazelnuts powder and vanilla sugar. Stir everything. Then add the soft butter and work with your fingers until you get evenly greased crumbs. It is possible to use a food processor. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peeks. Gently stir into the above mixture with a wooden or silicone spatula. Transfer the dough to a buttered cake pan (I used my ø26 cm loose-bottom cake tin). Smooth the surface and put in the oven. Bake between 25 and 30 minutes. Let cool before unmolding and cutting.

Just to share my experience... I finally did the drain and fill (minus pan drop/filter replacement) on my 328i for the first time today, just shy of 124000 miles. Drained out about 3.5 qts and took about 4 qts going back in. The old fluid was a very dark brown, with a very slight hint of red, but didn't smell burnt. The result: incredible. It shifts so much smoother, I don't even feel any jerks in the shifts anymore. Drove it around quite a bit and haven't noticed any abnormalities or slipping either. Absolutely well worth it. I am planning to do a second drain and fill after a few more weeks of driving so I can get more of the old fluid out, this time with a complete pan drop & filter/gasket replacement.

Referral Marketing is the oldest form of advertising: You sell it, they like it, they tell their friends about it, your customer base grows. It’s no surprise then, that with the recent rise in ecommerce opportunities, referral marketing has returned as the superstar of sustainable growth online as well as offline. The recent Covid restrictions have seen businesses scrambling to access their audience remotely by creating and pushing their online offerings. This has been great for customer choice but proves challenging for brands who are trying to make themselves heard above the noise of the overwhelming competition. With branded advertising and incentivised content flooding our feeds, as a customer, it’s hard to know what to trust. I mean, of course you’re going to tell me your product is the best, and so is that fashion blogger you just paid to wear your stuff, but how do I really know if your product is right for me? Friends Don’t Let Friends Make Bad Shopping Decisions Referral marketing essentially turns your customers into your brand ambassadors. Ecommerce customers can generate an average of 11.5 site visits when they refer a friend, with 83% of your potential customers saying that they trust the recommendations of their friends and family. As a business, growth relies on the development of trust through the availability of independent recommendations, so it’s essential to provide an easy way for consumers to communicate their favourite products to their network. Instead of crossing your fingers and hoping that your satisfied customers will spread the word about you, Harviist’s referral marketing software actively encourages customer chatter through a simple plug-in dashboard that delivers visible, measurable results. You can create and track fun, engaging referral campaigns then watch as your brand awareness grows with real-time results at a glance. Harviist technology is fully automated, low maintenance and customisable, so it will instantly adapt to your branding and tone of voice. Baby Come Back Getting the traffic is only half the battle, however. In order to develop a strong customer base that will provide the foundation for healthy, sustainable growth, it’s important to attract the right traffic. Customers who come to you as a result of recommendations have a 37% higher retention rate, so we’re talking about loyal, well-matched shoppers who are looking for a serious relationship, not just a meaningless fling. By adopting referral marketing in your ecommerce strategy, you are actually targeting a lookalike audience without having to pay through the nose for the privilege. Referral marketing is highly targeted by its very nature. A parent is only going to recommend baby products to their friends who have babies, for example. Voila. There’s your target audience, ready to buy and willing to listen to someone they know and trust – and you didn’t have to creep on their social data to find them. Simply put, if your product is good enough, people will talk about it. Harviist provides a simple marketing solution, freeing up your time so you can focus on that all-important product. Your customer is your hardest working ambassador, together we can get them talking. Get in touch with us at [email protected] or visit us at Harviist.com to find out more.

Tell us what you need so we can bring you the right pros. Receive quotes from pros who meet your needs. Compare quotes, message pros, and hire when ready. Manny came over to my mother's house in Florida (I live in Texas) and fixed/changed her water heater really quick, he left the work area clean and organized, you would have never thought that the work was done, he left the house like it never happened! Great experience! Very detailed and explained what he was fixing and why. Very fair on pricing, while he was fixing the water heater I also asked him to help with some other smaller jobs. You can’t go wrong with Carl! We initially contacted them to install a water heater, but I was so impressed by them that I hired them to paint the interior of our home. My husband and I are both disabled veterans and started to paint our home but quickly realized it was too big of a job for us to complete. They were able to come in and pick up where we left off and fix the areas that we got sloppy on. Initially we were given an estimate of 3 days and the guy just left (on first day) and most of it is complete! He said he would come back first thing in the morning and complete it. I usually wait until the end of a job to complete a review but I am just so impressed by this company that I just had to write the review right away. They are very nice, clean, prompt, and professional. I am definitely going to keep their number programmed in my phone! I highly recommend them! They were on time and professional. Very knowledgeable of the demands of the project. They went beyond what I asked them to do and also assisted me with selecting the water heater and quick installation. Having researched before embarking on my project they have the best price and service is great. Would strongly recommend Very prompt, professional and thorough response to my request to replace a water heater. Showed up right on time (6:30 am after receiving my request after 8:00pm the night before) and completed the work to my satisfaction. Thank you!! Thanks for coming out so quickly to fix my water heater! Richard was knowledgeable, fair, and fast. He had my water heater up in no time, I would recommend him! The tech arrived within an hour and a half of agreed time. He was familiar with the adjustment needed to achieve hotter water. He did not seem familiar with the solar system the supports the hot water heater. The end result was what we wanted. The fee seemed a bit ripe at $175 for an adjustment. We are pleased with all his work. Re-worked old washer water & drain pipes to come out of a modern box. Looks so much cleaner and is water tight! Also added a refrigerator water shut off valve. Kept us informed of his work status & got approval for his ideas of the fix. We are so pleased with his workmanship, knowledge and pricing, we are getting estimates for 3 other plumbing fixes we need. Quality work at a reasonable price. Carlos was awesome. Really saved me. Had a leaky water shutoff valve that still leaked even when turned off. He came out the same day, took care of it fast and charged exactly what he estimated. Will use again for any of my plumbing needs. Gentle Hands is the best, hands down!!! I had just bought a home and before moving in I needed some work done - laying new flooring, moving washer/dryer plumbing, vents, outlets, installing crown molding, installing tile molding, repairing dry wall, building shelves, changing out lights and fans, building cornices and hanging blinds, and more. They hit the trifecta - responded and completed the work quickly, they were skilled at their work and did a fantastic job on everything ,and the price way very fair. In addition, they provided really good design suggestions and cleaned up after themselves. They were a pleasure to work with in my home and I would not hesitate to use them again. These guys are the guys to call! I have a small property management company and I deal with a lot of trades people. Reece was exceptional. He made contact with the tenant, showed up on time and stayed with the repairs on the water heater until the unit was operating properly again. He called afterwards to tell me the repairs were finished. The tenant called me to say he was also very pleased with his work. His price quote was very reasonable for the work done. I would definitely hire Reece again. Really a very knowledgeable and conscientious company. Very responsive and a pleasure to work with. We had a tankless propane water heater installed and will use this company for any and all our future plumbing needs. Glad we found them on Thumbtack. Installing water system in kitchen. Restar was very knowledgeable and friendly. Their fee is very reasonable. Robert has been our go to plumber for the last four years . He started by installing all new plumbing appliances in our master bathroom including a steam shower and has subsequently replaced at least five additional bathroom fixtures, two water heaters and performed several plumbing repairs. He has always responded promptly, especially in the case of emergencies and with good humor, honesty, knowledge, neatness and expert workmanship. My wife and I are very demanding regarding work performed in our home and we have never been disappointed. We have enthusiastically recommended R&R to friends and will continue to rely on them for our plumbing needs. We moved into our home a few months ago and while we love the house, it does have some age to it so we knew we would be replacing things. Mike and John replaced our water heater and our water softener. They were very knowledgeable and did a great job. The staff at Affordable Water Treatment answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly. Thank you! If you are looking for experience and quality of work at an affordable price, hire this company!! Great experience working with Mike. He came out replaced my water heater same day and at a great price. Simple on Time Solutions is now my go to plumber for all of my plumbing needs. Replacing a leaking water heater. Was on site on time and got the Job well done and in great professional ways. Pleasant and knowing his job. Had to resort to his technical skills to connect the exiting electrical wiring and cold/ hot pipes from the failing old 40-gallons tank to a shorter new tank. Unfortunately, the only minus was the use of an aluminum drain pan and concrete blocks in place of a single steel stand. This does not reflect well on the superb effort put in but in the end everything works great!! Fixed the water leaking issue of refrigerator. He is specialized in appliances. I will give him a 5 star, if he came to fix early ( I have to wait several days ). I called Al-Air on a Friday morning and Jose came out later that day. He was prompt, knowledgeable and cleaned out my AC unit. He also gave me some tips on how to keep my unit working properly. I was so happy with the results that I requested an appointment for my grandfather’s house. He came out the next day and was able to fix the issue within 30 min. Which was great because it was during one a cold snap and the heater wasn’t turning on. I will always call Al-Air for all my AC needs. They are awesome. Waiting to be installed

(CBS/WBBM) CHICAGO, Il. - Authorities say a Chicago police officer was killed by her 15-year-old grandson after she caught him skipping school. The off-duty Chicago officer, Hester Scott, 55, was pronounced dead in her home on Friday after police say she was fatally beaten and stabbed by the grandson she had adopted. Keshawn Perkins, 15, was charged as an adult with one count of first-degree murder and one count of armed robbery, reports CBS station WBBM. A judge ordered him held without bond on Sunday. Perkins reportedly decided to skip school and go to sleep in the basement. Investigators say that when Scott came down and started yelling at him Perkins allegedly stabbed her with a kitchen knife and struck her on the head with a lamp. Police say Perkins admitted doing this "until she shut up." The boy then allegedly wrapped her body in a blanket and dragged her to a catch basin in the back yard. He ran away after taking her blood-soaked purse. Prosecutors said someone called 911 after seeing the front door to her home open, and when police arrived, neighbors brought Perkins to them. They say that two bloody knives were found at the scene, and that Perkins told police where her body was, and where he left his bloody clothing after the murder. The medical examiner's office declared her death a homicide. Police say Scott served as a police officer for 25 years and was off-duty at the time. If convicted, her grandson faces a minimum life sentence because the victim was a police officer. The investigation is ongoing.

For eight years, travelers in the United States getting ready to head to the airport have had to think hard about their footwear. Knowing that we’ll be forced to remove our shoes to go through the X-ray machines, we make sure that they are an easily removed pair — and that socks have been recently washed to prevent embarrassment. In warm weather, the ordeal can’t be prevented by a clever choice to wear open sandals that expose the feet, as the TSA employees are under strict orders to closely examine even the strappiest shoes. But Israelis heading for Ben-Gurion Airport need not worry about donning even the most complicated pair of lace-up boots, as passengers are never asked to take off their shoes as part of the security process. Airport security in Israel is not about what’s on your feet, or in your pockets, or — god forbid — in your underwear. It’s about what’s in your head. While the Israeli security system is certainly not perfect, it is unlikely that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab could have successfully boarded a plane without being detained, questioned in-depth, and hopefully caught — even if his risk level hadn’t been so clearly documented. The secret of Israeli airport security doesn’t just lie in super-sophisticated technology. Simply put, in Israel’s airport, there are simply far more opportunities to get caught. As Rafi Sela, an expert on security, outlined for the Toronto Star, the security system at Ben-Gurion Airport is multi-layered, comprised of the following elements: – Roadside check: Drivers are stopped and asked who they are and where they came from. Even at that early stage, they are examined for behavioral giveaways that would mark them as suspicious. – Armed guards at the entrance to the terminal and the entrance of the airport give you the visual once-over as you enter. They can pull you aside for a random check. – Before you arrive at the main check-in counter, you stand in a security line where a young, clearly intelligent young man or woman examines your passport and ticket, looks straight into your eyes, and asks you about who you are, where you came from, where you are heading, who packed your luggage, and whether you are carrying any packages for anyone. If you offer an ambiguous answer, or raise any red flags by your behavior, the grilling continues, and the questions can frankly become irritatingly personal. My ire was up in an airport stop pre-9/11, when, to check whether I was in fact an American Jew, I was asked questions about my Bat Mitzvah. Suspicious behavior results in closer examinations. – Luggage is X-rayed before check-in. Suspicious items are put in blast-proof containers and moved away to a safe area. The airport doesn’t shut down over a suspicious object. – Only then comes the walk through the X-ray machine (with your shoes on) and the check of your hand luggage. Yes, they are checking out your bags, but again, they are mainly checking you out. Nobody cares about your bottle of water, baby formula, moisturizer, nail scissors, or tweezers. The journey through this process, with multiple stations at every stop, is usually fairly rapid for low-risk travelers, even at the height of holiday season. So, as the Star points out, the Israeli way is both more efficient and more effective. So why not adopt it in the U.S.?

A personal umbrella policy protects you against a catastrophic liability loss. For example, a major car accident that injures many people or that causes permanent impairment or death may result in liability beyond what a typical automobile policy covers. You should consider personal umbrella insurance if you: - have assets in excess of your underlying liability limits - are financially responsible for an inexperienced driver - live in an affluent neighborhood - have a dog or other pets that could cause injury - engage in activities that put you at risk of a lawsuit, such as coaching children - have a high-profile career or high income - frequently host guests on your property - have a swimming pool or trampoline on your property - own waterfront property, a farm or ranch - own watercraft, aircraft or off-road vehicles - travel extensively internationally for pleasure Previously, people thought umbrella policies were only for the wealthy, but today, many middle-income families choose to add this extra layer of protection. It’s especially attractive because of its relatively low cost. If you are concerned that your auto and homeowner policies do not provide the coverage you need, we will review your policies and provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about additional coverage.

June 5, 2013 | bevel wise Welcome to June!2013 has been an exciting year for Immaculate Flight thus far! As we pass the midyear point, we continue to experience very solid, manageable growth due to you, our awesome customers, as well as the dedication of our crews out in the field to do whatever it takes 24/7. I cannot speak highly enough of the personnel we have working together to ensure a smooth operation in our 11 states of operation, and not a day goes by that I don’t see examples from different team members going above and beyond for you while doing things that amaze me. This first half of the year was also busy with major news, including our finalized acquisition of Pro Guard Aircraft Detailing in Southeast Florida. When the opportunity arose to further our Florida service offerings, it was something we did not want to pass up; especially considering the fact that many of you visit the area many times a year for business and pleasure. In addition, the acquision also gave us immediate access to airports in the area including the busy PBI, FLL, MIA airports, as well as the surrounding areas. As of today we now service all of Southeast, Southwest, and Central Florida markets, and we truly look forward to helping keep your planes clean while you’re in town! 2013 has also been a busy year where we’ve had some really neat projects/shows/events as well: Each of these opportunities, and many others, give us a chance to do something a little bit “out of the norm” and provide bragging rights for our guys and gals who get to work on such projects. We are really looking forward to the latter half of 2013 and know there will be more exciting things in store at Immaculate Flight! More importantly though, we thank you for your business and hope that the rest of 2013 is full of fair skies and tail winds!

China’s epic flight delays—caused by managerial snafus, overcrowded airspace, and air traffic controls shortcomings—have sparked protests and fist fights, and forced airlines to offer combat training to their embattled employees. The nation’s major airports have the worst delays in the world, more than half of flights from provincial airports fail to take off on time, and the situation has gotten much worse in the last six months. The Civil Aviation Administration of China has vowed to solve the problem, and this week unveiled its response: Command planes at China’s eight busiest airports to take off as soon as passengers are on board, whether there’s a place for them to land or not. The new policy, called “unrestricted take off,” has already improved on-time takeoffs at Beijing Capital Airport. But it’s causing a a cascade of new woes: Planes are forced to circle their destinations for hours waiting for a runway slot to open up, burning increasingly costly fuel, placing further stress on an overstretched air traffic control system and potentially putting passengers at risk. “Waiting on the ground is always safer than waiting in the air,” Yang Xinsheng, dean of the College of Air Traffic Management at the Civil Aviation University of China, told the South China Morning Post. Nevertheless, the air is where they are now waiting. A glance early Thursday morning at Beijing Airport’s real-time domestic flight arrival board showed that of the 20 flights scheduled to arrive, none were on time, ten were delayed by multiple hours, and eight others had been cancelled altogether. Departures, though, were mostly on schedule, with minimal delays of less than an hour. The policy could mean significant financial losses for airlines in China, since circling airports burns up huge amounts of fuel, which makes up a the biggest portion of the aviation industry’s costs. Even before the authorities’ recent order, China’s big three state-owned airlines reported a big drop in 2012 profits, thanks in part to high fuel bills. Sending planes to circle over their urban destinations while they wait for a runway also has a huge environmental cost, concentrating enormous carbon emissions in cities where air pollution is already severe. China has grown rapidly to the world’s second-largest domestic airline market, by passengers, behind the US. Experts say the country needs massive long-term investment in its aviation infrastructure—not only more sophisticated air traffic control capabilities, but also a liberalization of the country’s airspace. (James Fallows of Quartz’s sister publication The Atlantic literally wrote the book on this.) About 80% of China’s air space is controlled by the military, which has reformed slower than the airline industry or regulator would like, said Will Horton, an analyst with the Center for Asia Pacific Aviation. “You start to have a pressure cooker of flights growing faster than there is space available to accommodate them,” he said. Opening up more airspace and improving the technology that handles the existing airspace would help, he said. But in the short term, Chinese aviation authorities—clearly spooked by reports of angry passengers causing chaos at its airports—have pushed through a short-term cosmetic solution to flight delays that could make flying in China much worse.

Dow Corning filed a complaint through its Chinese subsidiary and licensee with the Shanghai First Intermediate Court. The complaint alleges that Beijing KMT Technology Co., Ltd infringed Dow Corning’s Chinese patent by manufacturing and selling products using proprietary Dow Corning silicone technology under the Beijing KMT label. The patent is part of Dow Corning’s diverse and multilayered intellectual property (IP) portfolio protecting its high refractive index (RI) phenyl-based optical silicone encapsulants, which offer numerous high-value benefits to LED devices. These benefits include improved light output, excellent mechanical protection of LED components and enduring gas barrier properties for enhanced reliability. “Dow Corning will always rigorously defend its intellectual property to ensure that our customers continue to receive the highest quality products and reliability we can provide to help them stay competitive in today’s fast-growing LED market,” said Kaz Maruyama, global industry director, Lighting Solutions, Dow Corning. For nearly 15 years, Dow Corning has invested aggressively to develop optical silicone technologies and products designed to advance applications along the entire LED value chain – in China and across the globe. Among these materials are Dow Corning’s phenyl-based high RI silicone encapsulants, which the company began innovating over a decade ago in Japan where the technology was first patented. Additional patents for these advanced optical materials quickly followed in Korea, the United States, European Union, Taiwan, Malaysia and other countries. Chinese Patent asserted in the complaint against Beijing KMT, was granted on April 2, 2008. “Asia currently leads the market transition to LEDs for general lighting, driven especially by swift penetration in China,” said Maruyama. “Supply chain integrity and consistent material quality are both key factors in ensuring that LEDs offer a credible, cost-effective alternative to conventional lighting. It takes only a few failed applications to raise doubts about the technology’s viability for future investment and adoption. Consequently, industry-wide defense and support of proven, patented and cutting-edge LED solutions such as Dow Corning’s OE Series helps validate the competitive value of LED lighting, and advances the interests of all.”

Spinal tumor refers to the abnormal growth of tissue in the spinal cord. Tumors in spine may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). A tumor can grow in a bone and spread (metastasize) to other parts of the spine or even other parts like lungs or breasts. Sometimes a tumor can spread to the spine from other areas like kidney, lung, prostate or breast. Treatment of metastatic tumors must consider the following: - Number of spinal tumors - Type of cancer - Current treatment of cancer - Location of tumor - Quality of life of patient - Life expectancy - General condition of patient as per conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes and anemia. - Ultimately the preference of the patient and issues like primary cancer care - Spine tumor treatment cost in India GOALS of treatment: - Palliative care: aiming to optimize quality of life of patient and to minimize disability and pain. This includes, pain relief, fracture prevention, preserving neurological function, correcting instability of spine and enhancing general condition of patient like ability to walk/ move. - Treating cancer: Aim is to support ongoing cancer treatment which is created to bring cancer into remission or to prolong life of patient. - Shrink or debulk spinal tumor- this is done to decrease the burden of tumor. It is a fact that early diagnosis and treatment of spinal tumor produces better outcome. If a cancer patient experiences fresh symptoms of back pain, he should go in for immediate medical care. Treatment of metastatic spinal tumor is the responsibility of a multi-disciplinary team consisting of radiation oncologists, surgeons, medical oncologists, physiatrists and diagnostic radiologists. - Pain medication is the first step. Such medication includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and narcotics for pain management. - Other medications include Corticosteroids (for treating fluid build –up and inflammation around the spinal cord) and bisphosphonates and RANKL inhibitors (to make the bones strong and lower the chance of fracture of vertebrae). - Braces: for the sake of symptom relief, braces may be used when there is pain due to spinal instability. They are used usually with alternative types of treatment. This has proved to be effective to shrink tumors and is the popular choice for treating pain linked to metastatic spine tumors. Radiation of high intensity applied on tumor can cause it to shrink, relive pressure on roots of nerves or/ and spinal cord. As per studies, this therapy has reduced pain by 70% rate of success. For spinal tumors, radiation is administered externally through a special machine. Stereotactic radiation targets the tumor, thus not affecting healthy cells. Surgical methods are used to treat spinal tumor either by removing tumor or lowering symptoms associated with the tumor. There are many kinds of surgery, but in general, they are of two types: - Minimally invasive surgery: this surgery involves very small incisions. - Open surgery: this is a more complicated surgery involving larger incisions. Minimally invasive procedures are the usual norm but open surgeries are performed occasionally. Minimally invasive surgery may be done on an out-patient basis and involves shorter recovery time. Spine tumor surgery cost in India is less when common procedures are used.

A few bits of circumstantial evidence suggest to some that feral cats in Australia are now reaching enormous sizes, equivalent to that of a small leopard. This sounds incredible: how does the evidence hold up? Tetrapod Zoology exists in a delicate balance. On the one hand I want to try and maintain some sort of credibility as a trained scientist, but on the other hand there is a strong incentive to write about the fantastic, the incredible, and the bizarre, simply because this is what generates the hits. More people will read a post about Godzilla or sasquatch than about tree frogs or small brown passerines, for example. Like, 15,000 more people. It is partly with this in mind that I have felt the urge to write the long-promised post on the giant Australian feral cats (go here to see a previous hint that this subject would be covered one day). As usual with fringe-type subjects, I know that this is something that will generate extreme scepticism in most readers – and rightly so given that this idea is perhaps hard to swallow – but, as usual with these things, having learnt about the details I think that there is some really interesting stuff here. Regular readers will know that I always try and self-justify my occasional forays into cryptozoology and associated topics in this way, mostly out of a massive amount of paranoia. Anyway, to business. Wherever it is in the world that you live, you’ve probably heard tales and reports of mysterious big cats that wander about the countryside and, generally, go unphotographed and uncaught. Here in Britain people regularly report big ‘black panthers’, tan-coloured ‘pumas’, bob-tailed ‘lynxes’ and an assortment of smaller spotted and striped cats that variously recall Leopard cats Prionailurus bengalensis and Jungle cats Felis chaus. These animals are known as ABCs or Alien Big Cats. As I’ve tried to get across in previous articles (see British big cats: how good, or bad, is the evidence? and The Cupar roe deer carcass), the whole ‘unphotographed and uncaught’ thing is not true, and in reality there are numerous photographs and even several dead bodies demonstrating that feral alien cats are a reality (Shuker 1995). The idea that leopard cats, jungle cats, lynxes and even leopards and pumas have escaped from captivity or been surreptitiously released is not exactly difficult to accept, and if you think it is I suggest you read up on the evidence. We also know that peculiar new hybrids are appearing; the best known of them is the peculiar gracile-limbed Kellas cat, apparently an introgressive hybrid between feral domestic cats and Scottish wildcats (Shuker 1990). For most places that supposedly harbour ABCs, the ‘escaped alien’ theory best fits the evidence. However, that hasn’t stopped various researchers from coming up with other theories, and one that has cropped up again and again over the years is that some of the ABCs represent a new strain of unprecedentedly large feral cat of the species Felis catus, the domestic cat. This sounds to me like one of those poorly founded ideas thought up by someone without much knowledge of the subject, and like most researchers I have never taken it seriously. In the standard review work on ABCs, Mystery Cats of the World, Karl Shuker expressed scepticism of this idea too, noting that ‘Even though feral domestics have established themselves throughout the world, no evidence has been obtained to suggest that F. catus can and does attain a body size commensurate with sheep- or deer-killing’ (Shuker 1989, p. 53). However… last year I attended a conference at which Australian cryptozoologist Paul Cropper gave a talk on Australian ABCs. For me it was among the most memorable talks of the event, and here’s why: he showed two video clips that both showed large, black cats (large = apparently exceeding 1 m in total length). But rather than being feral leopards or any other cat species that exhibits melanism, the weird thing is that these cats looked like gigantic specimens of F. catus. The first bit of footage (I’ve been unable to track down details on when and where it was filmed: let me know if you can help) showed a big black cat slinking along a vegetated hillside. The cat appeared to be very large (I say this based on the size of the surrounding vegetation, and on the overall look and ‘heaviness’ of the animal), but its pointed ears, tail and gait make it look quite different from a leopard or any other big cat. It also looked nothing like a leopard cat, ocelot, caracal, lynx, or any of the golden cats. Clearly, what I’m getting at is hard to quantify, but it was as if someone had super-sized a feral moggie. The second video that Paul showed was even more remarkable (a still – from here – from the sequence is shown at left). We start with a daytime shot of a perfectly normal grey domestic cat, sat on a shrub-covered hillside near a stand of trees. Then the camera pans to the right. From behind the trees slowly emerges a big black cat, apparently more than twice the size of the grey domestic cat. Yet its head and face – which we can see in full detail – show without doubt that it is a domestic cat, with vertical pupils, pointed ears, and a dainty snout quite unlike the deeper snout of the large cats. Its shoulder blades appear proportionally big and overall it appears unusually muscular. The ordinary grey cat, sat not less than two metres away, is not in the least perturbed by the presence of this monster. I struggled to understand what I was seeing: was this some sort of trick using forced perspective? Filmed in 2001 at Lithgow, New South Wales, by Gail Pound and her husband Wayne, the video has been the subject of a lot of discussion and controversy. So far as I can tell there is indeed general agreement that it really does show a monstrously large, black feral cat that some people estimate to be about 1.5 m long in total. Here is an extract (from here) from a news article… Last year, the NSW government asked a seven-member panel of big cat experts to view a video shot near Lithgow, west of Grose Vale, of what appeared to be a large black cat – possibly a panther – in close proximity to a large feral cat. They concluded that the larger of the two was a huge feral cat, two to three times normal size. Their reasoning was only that they did not think a feral cat would be so close to a panther. The Lithgow film is not the only decent bit of footage that exists. Another was filmed at Dunkeld in the southern Grampians, Victoria, in December 2004 by Andrew Burston (go here for the footage). Again, the cat looks very odd: the profile of the back appears more like that of a small cat than a large one (Felis cats have a more obviously convex lumbar and pelvic region than pumas and big cats); its tail appears proportionally too short for a leopard or puma; and its gait and the shape of its head also look more like those of a Felis cat than of a puma or big cat. This time we have an excellent scale bar, as the animal actually walks within a few metres of an adult kangaroo. I’m not going to attempt to estimate sizes here (I’m notoriously bad at doing that), but I conclude that the Dunkeld cat both (1) looks more like a Felis cat than anything else and (2) is exceptionally big. Burston estimated its shoulder height at 75 cm, and this doesn’t seem inappropriate. A Melbourne zoo official, Noel Harcourt, went on record as saying that the animal was a large feral cat and not a leopard or other exotic species, but didn’t comment on the animal’s exceptional size. Other bits of video footage, and photos, apparently showing particularly big feral black cats can also be seen on Mike William’s blog Australian Big Cats. Mike has been trying hard to drum up some serious academic interest in this subject and, as we’ll see, there is good reason to be very, very interested in the evidence he and his colleagues now have [adjacent image doesn’t show the Dunkeld cat, but an alleged big feral cat photographed by Bob McPherson]. There are always problems in interpreting video footage and photos. Is the Lithgow cat really as big as it appears to be, or are we being tricked by some quirk of perspective? Are we jumping to conclusions in thinking that the kangaroo in the Dunkeld footage really provides a scale bar for the cat? And it’s difficult to judge the size of the cat in some of the other video clips and photos. You’ll be pleased to hear then, that video footage and photos are not the only evidence we have. There are also dead bodies. We’ll discuss the least impressive of them first: it’s a feral cat that was shot in Victoria, and Mike has actually produced a video where he films this skin and the animal’s skull: the video is up on youtube here. As he states and shows in the video, the head and body length is 870 mm, and the tail length is 360 mm (giving a combined length of 1230 mm). For comparison, feral cats from elsewhere are reported to have head and body lengths of between c. 460 and 522 mm and tail lengths of between c. 269 and 300 mm (Kitchener 1991), giving a combined length at most of c. 822 mm. What is alleged to be the world record domestic cat, an Australian tabby named Himmy, had a total length of 965 mm and exceptionally big pre-1900 Scottish wildcat specimens had head and body lengths averaging 639 mm and tail lengths averaging 310 mm (giving a combined length of 949 mm). I used pre-1900 data as Scottish wildcats have been declining in size since that time and the pre-1900 cats were exceptionally big compared to living ones (Tomkies 1991). Two world-record Scottish wildcats had combined head, body and tail lengths of 990 and 1100 mm and an English pet tabby, whom I measured in 1991, had a head and body length of c. 700 mm and a tail length of c. 317 mm (giving a combined length of 1017 mm*). The Australian skin is therefore large, but not exceptionally, remarkably so. That’s not where the story ends though. * Which either means that Himmy isn’t the biggest domestic cat ever or my measuring was off. Hmm. I have good photos of the cat I measured if anyone wants to see them (and perhaps try to work out how big the animal was). Now for the more impressive specimen. Shot in Gippsland in June 2005 by Kurt Engel, a deer hunter, this one was apparently about as big as a leopard at c. 1.6 m long, though only its tail remains extant as Engel dumped the body in a river (I’m not sure why). There are photos of the whole body (one of them can be seen at left and another at the top of the page) but those that have been released so far don’t provide any obvious scale: better photos are apparently to appear in a book. The tail that Engel retained is 650 mm long and preliminary DNA testing performed at Melbourne’s Monash University indicated that it does indeed belong to F. catus. If this is correct – it requires validation – I don’t what to say other than… holy crap. A news report on the specimen and the DNA testing can be viewed here. So are feral cats in Australia really growing to amazingly large body sizes? We can’t yet be sure, but the evidence is looking pretty good. As mentioned, Mike Williams and his colleagues are trying to get academic scientists more interested in this subject, and as yet the apparent existence of these giant ferals has gone largely unrecognised outside of the cryptozoological community. I for one aim to keep up to date with this subject, and I’ll report further developments here at Tetrapod Zoology. I am planning to attend an ABC conference that’s happening later this month and will post news on that if and when I attend. Refs – – Kitchener, A. 1991. The Natural History of the Wild Cats.

Current Available Research The current available research on breast milk composition shows the following external factors can influence breast milk composition: When baby is born The make-up of breast milk is slightly different when a baby is born pre-term. Specifically, protein levels are reportedly higher when compared to milk from mums whose babies were born at term or after. This difference regulates itself after a couple of months. Over the day The concentrations of breast milk nutrients (particularly lactose, fat and protein) vary depending on time of day. Hormone concentrations in milk also fluctuate over 24 hours. These changes are thought to be due to natural hormonal rhythms and/or maternal diet and eating patterns. Although, we currently can’t say for sure why these variations occur. Over the feed The initial milk a baby receives is called ‘fore milk’. Which contains a lot of water and therefore lower concentrations of nutritional components such as fat and protein (lactose levels remain high). As a baby feeds from the breast they drain or ‘empty’ the breast. The fat content gradually increases, resulting in a fattier and consequently more calorific milk known as ‘hind milk’. The more volume drained from the breast the higher the fat concentration becomes. Therefore, longer feeds tend to leave babies feeling fuller due to the combined effect of having consumed larger volumes and more calorie dense milk. Over the year Breast milk changes as babies grow in order to meet their changing nutritional demands. Protein concentrations decrease gradually over the course of the first year of life. Energy and fat levels increase from birth to around 1 month, then slowly taper off again until the end of the first year. Lactose levels increase initially as milk matures and remain the most static of all the macronutrients in milk. These variations have been observed in multiple studies on milk from many women. However, the reasons for these fluctuations are not yet fully understood but are likely linked to babies changing needs as they grow. Women’s bodies are programmed to ensure adequate levels of nutrition in their milk, even when the woman’s own nutrition is lacking. This means that despite all of these influencing factors, breast milk will always supply babies with what they need to grow and thrive. Thank you to Ellen Ward (PhD Candidate researching breast milk and maternal diet and a Breastfeeding Support Worker) for writing this blog.

As a result, access to physicians and insurance coverage play a key role in the use of these products, and therefore may affect the population to whom advertising is targeted at. The movement of pharmaceutical products from prescription (Rx) to Over-the-Counter (OTC), or Rx-to-OTC switch changes the cost of acquiring the drug and therefore may change the incentives manufacturers have at targeting particular population segments. This study examines whether Rx-to-OTC switch changes the frequency and the distribution of who is exposed to pharmaceutical advertising. Using an archive of pharmaceutical advertisements and National Consumer Survey, this study examines how individuals with particular demographic characteristics are exposed to pharmaceutical advertisements before and after drugs are moved from Rx to OTC. The results provide evidence that individual`s advertising exposure increases after Rx-to-OTC switch. Moreover, the increase in advertising exposure is greater for the low socioeconomic status (SES) consumers which implies they may get more information about the disease, treatment and product after the Rx-to-OTC switch through advertising. If low SES consumers have more exposure to the advertising after products switched to OTC, then FDA policies regulating this switch should recognize the potential role of advertising providing access to health-related information. A Study on Perceived Weight, Eating Habits, and Unhealthy Weight Control Behavior in Korean Adolescents Yu, Nan-Sook ; International Journal of Human Ecology, volume 12, issue 2, 2011, Pages 13~24 DOI : 10.6115/ljhe.2011.12.2.13 This study compared actual weight with perceived weight, described the prevalence of unhealthy weight control behavior, determined the differences in psychological and personal variables between participants that reported unhealthy weight control behavior and those who did not, and examined the relationship of eating habits to unhealthy weight control behavior for Korean adolescents. The study population consisted of a nationally representative sample of middle and high school students who completed the Fifth Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (KYRBWS): Fifth in 2009. Among the 75,066 participants of KYRBWS, 35,473 (n The Effect of Brand Image Inconsistency on Patronage Intent in U.S. Multi-channel Retailing Yoo, Jung-Min ; Kim, Min-Jeong ; International Journal of Human Ecology, volume 12, issue 2, 2011, Pages 25~37 DOI : 10.6115/ljhe.2011.12.2.25 Website design (due to increased online retailing) has received more attention as a way to influence consumer responses (Eroglu et al., 2001, 2003; Kim et al., 2009; Kim & Lennon, 2008; Yoo et al., 2010); however, the website design of multichannel retailers has not been examined from the perspective of the consistency of online store image with the brand image. This study examines the effect of brand image consistency (especially through the website) on consumer attitude and patronage intentions. The findings of this research will add to the growing body of literature on multichannel retailing and provide practical information for online retailers in the development of a website for their online business. A Study on the Discrimination and the Real State of High Calorie Foods with Low Nutrition Values in Children`s Snacks sold within Green Food Zone Lee, Seung-Sin ; Yang, Deok-Soon ; Lee, Jong-Hye ; Lee, Young-Hee ; Heo, Sun-Kyung ; International Journal of Human Ecology, volume 12, issue 2, 2011, Pages 39~50 DOI : 10.6115/ljhe.2011.12.2.39 This study surveys the state of `children`s snacks` sold within the Green Food Zone and that of High Calorie Foods with Low Nutrition Value (HCFLNV). The main purposes are the analyses of foods in accordance to KFDA Program for HCFLNV and an analysis of differences in HCFLNV that are dependent on relevant factors such as food types, school types, origins, the scale of manufacturing company, area and price. Based on the analyses, educational and political implications have been sought that will form nutritious dietary habits, contribute to the prevention of obesity, and improve health in child consumers. The methodologies of this study are literature studies and surveys. The results of this study can be summarized as following. First, the number of children`s snacks is 517 items of total 645 gathered within 150 Green Food Zones. Candies are the most popular item, next are cookies, chocolates, and breads. Second, in the real state survey there are 186 HCFLNV (36.0%) among children`s snacks sold within Green Food Zone. Based on the survey results, the marking of HCFLNV on the package of children`s snacks and the extension of the ban of HCFLNV sales to all stores within the Green Food Zone are strongly suggested. This provides preliminary data related to children`s snacks and food safety. With enforcement of the Special Act on the Safety Management of Children`s Dietary Life, the rate of HCFLNV has decreased and the child snack product environment in stores has improved. However, it is necessary to supervise low-priced snacks and promote an awareness of HCFLNV along with the child consumer education of food safety is needed. Economic Dependence and Gender Division of Household Labour in the Republic of Korea An, Mi-Young ; International Journal of Human Ecology, volume 12, issue 2, 2011, Pages 51~63 DOI : 10.6115/ljhe.2011.12.2.51 This paper examines the relationship between economic dependence and gender differences in housework in Korea. There are three explanatory alternatives for the relationship; economic rule of exchange, gender display perspective and deviant neutralization. We analysed both 2004 and 2009 time use survey data. The findings show the significant gender differences in time spent on housework that wives spend much more time on housework than husbands. However, among couples with non-normative gender roles, in some cases the more economically powerful wives spend more time on housework than breadwinner wives with weaker economic power, although such cases are rare. Rather, it is appropriate to conclude that, the more economically independent the wives, the less time they spend on housework; this is also the case for husbands. Overall, the Korean case shows what the economic exchange theory predicts. Thus, improvements in working wives` economic power will lead to gender equity in the division of housework. Family Attitudes and Gender Role Divisions of Married Women in Contemporary Vietnam and Korea Chin, Mee-Jung ; International Journal of Human Ecology, volume 12, issue 2, 2011, Pages 65~75 DOI : 10.6115/ljhe.2011.12.2.65 This study attempts to examine family attitudes and gender role divisions of married women in contemporary Vietnam and Korea. Drawing data from the 2003 Vietnam Family Study and the 2005 Korean Marriage and Fertility Study, this study investigated 1) attitudes of married women toward marriage, cohabitation, divorce, and having children, 2) decision making on household expenditures, and 3) household work division between husband and wife. The results showed that married Korean women were less inclined toward traditional family attitudes regarding marriage and children than married Vietnamese women. Decision on routine household expenditures was made and household work was done mostly by the wife in the two countries. In comparison, married Vietnamese men took more responsibilities for important financial decisions and child education than married Korean men. These overall findings imply that patriarchical family and gender role norms were preserved to larger extent in contemporary Vietnam than in Korea. Chronic Health Conditions, Depression, and the Role of Financial Wellbeing: How Middle Age Group (45-64) and Older Adults (65-79) Differ? Cha, Seung-Eun ; Kim, Jin-Hee ; Anderson, Elaine ; International Journal of Human Ecology, volume 12, issue 2, 2011, Pages 77~93 DOI : 10.6115/ljhe.2011.12.2.77 This study investigates the association between chronic health conditions (CHD) and depression with a focus on the mediating effect of financial strain. We tested if age makes any difference in the effect of CHD and financial strain on depression. The data comes from the 2006 Korea Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA) collected by the Institute of Korean Labor Research. The sample consisted of information from 8,961 individuals ages 45-79. Separate analyses were done for middle-age (45-64) and older-adult groups (65-79). There were significant financial portfolio differences among CHD patients and non-CHD, for both age groups, that may constitute the impact of a health event on financial wellbeing; in addition, the associations of CHD on depressive symptoms were different by age groups. The mediating effect of financial wellbeing on the association between CHD and depressive symptoms was verified; in addition, the role of financial wellbeing on the association was especially strong for the older-adult group. The effect of CHD on depression was contingent on the amount of net assets and annual personal income. Implications are discussed based on the findings. Mother-Child Emotional Availability Mediating the Effects of Maternal Psychological Well-being and Child`s Cognitive Competence on Child Behavior Problems Kang, Min-Ju ; International Journal of Human Ecology, volume 12, issue 2, 2011, Pages 95~107 DOI : 10.6115/ljhe.2011.12.2.95 Recent intervention studies document that mother-child dyads with higher levels of Emotional Availability (EA) report fewer child behavior problems than dyads with lower EA. This study examines possible mechanisms that lead to this result by looking at the parent-child micro-system as a whole, with multi-dimensional relationships that include individual differences in the child`s cognitive level, parental stress and parent-child interaction. A total 67 children ( years of age) and their mothers were videotaped during 30-min play interactions. Interactions were coded using the Emotional Availability (EA) Scales (Biringen, Robinson, & Emde, 1998). Mothers completed Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, Child Behavior Checklist/ - 5, and the Ages Stages Questionnaire. The findings showed that mothers with higher levels of parenting stress were more likely to be intrusive, hostile, insensitive, and had a tendency to do less structuring in play. The children of stressed and depressed mothers demonstrated less involvement and responsiveness towards their mothers. Children who have higher dyadic EA scores experienced fewer externalizing and internalizing problems. SEM analyses results showed a mediation effect of EA on the association between maternal psychological well-being and child behavior problems. Fewer deficits in child communication skills and problem solving skills that were related with lower parenting stress and depression were associated with higher maternal non-intrusiveness. Higher non-intrusiveness was related to less internalizing and externalizing problems that indicated the indirect effect of child cognitive competence. Possible interpretations and implications of the study findings are discussed. Infant Crying Acoustic Characteristics Evoking Unpleasant Emotions in Mothers Kim, Yeoun-Jung ; International Journal of Human Ecology, volume 12, issue 2, 2011, Pages 109~117 DOI : 10.6115/ljhe.2011.12.2.109 This study examines the infant crying acoustic characteristics likely to arouse negative emotions and distress in mothers. We used samples of infant crying from three situations (hunger, pain, and the mother`s absence) in six healthy infants over six months. We played the recordings of infants crying to 90 mothers in the care of infants and had them self-evaluate emotions and feelings. In addition, the sounds were analyzed acoustically through a CSL4400 to analyze frequency, energy, total expiratory time, and the number of the expirations. In this study, cries due to pain and the absence of the mother caused more unpleasant emotions and irritation in comparison to the infant sounds of hunger. In particular, crying from the absence of the mother caused the most distress. An analysis of these sounds showed that crying in the situations of pain and the absence of the mother were strong in frequency, high energy, and prolonged. These results suggest a relation between infant crying acoustical characteristics and the feelings of distress by the mother. Predicting Role Performance Variables for Childcare Teachers Park, Bok-Mae ; Moon, Hyuk-Jun ; International Journal of Human Ecology, volume 12, issue 2, 2011, Pages 119~131 DOI : 10.6115/ljhe.2011.12.2.119 This study determined the factors that contributed to role performance by childcare teachers in Korea. Questionnaire data were gathered from 425 childcare teachers. Statistical analyses consisted of t-test, ANOVA, Scheff and hierarchical regression analysis. There were no differences in the role performance of childcare teachers by age and experience. Differences were evident by education level and workplace type. Role performance was most affected by the internal-external control followed by emotional intelligence. The findings of this study are pertinent to childcare policy makers. Evaluation of Common Activity and Life in Swedish Cohousing Units Choi, Jung-Shin ; Paulsson, Jan ; International Journal of Human Ecology, volume 12, issue 2, 2011, Pages 133~146 DOI : 10.6115/ljhe.2011.12.2.133 This study evaluates common activity and quality of life in Swedish cohousing units to examine whether Swedish cohousing functions properly or not. A questionnaire survey was fulfilled during the autumn of 2010 in G teborg Sweden. The subjects of study were 12 of 44 cohousing units in Sweden that included 4 of the +40 cohousing and 8 of the mixed-age cohousing. A total of 242 of 353 distributed questionnaires were collected (68.6%) and analyzed by SPSS statistical program. The findings are as follow: 1) General characteristics of the respondents are that they are mostly healthy, evenly aged from age 50s to 70s and highly educated with significant proportions of academics and civil workers. There are more females than males and more singles than cohabitants. 2) The most frequent and preferred common activity is a common meal followed by a coffee meeting. A common dinner, the `hub of living together` is held almost every day or at least a few times a week. A common meal is considered one of the most important activities because of practical and social advantages in that residents can save time and cooking costs as well as engage in social contact. Referring to evaluation of frequency and content of common activity, more than a half of the respondents prefer the current situation. 3) All of the variables (except health conditions and education level) affect participation in common activity with statistical significance. 4) Most of the respondents indicate a high level of life satisfaction and are willing to recommend others move to cohousing. They agree that there is more mutual support among residents in cohousing units than in a conventional community. In conclusion, Swedish cohousing units function successfully as they have pursued intentional community ideology and most of the residents are proud of their current living situations.

For the first several years in business, I was a big wuss. I avoided conflict, and wanted everyone to be happy. Everyone but me. I was a wuss with my clients, my staff, and even my suppliers/contractors. I convinced myself that I was being a nice guy, and that was what leadership was about. This way of thinking only brought me misery and disappointment. I should also mention, being a wuss cost me a lot of money. I mean – A LOT. The reality is that conflict is normal, and actually quite healthy. Differences in ideas and opinions should be celebrated and welcomed, not feared. They exist – and by not addressing them, you rob yourself and your team of valuable insight and opportunities. An excerpt from: - The first dysfunction is an absence of trust among team members. Essentially, this stems from their unwillingness to be vulnerable within the group. Team members who are not genuinely open with one another abouttheir mistakes and weaknesses make it impossible to build a foundation for trust. - This failure to build trust is damaging because it sets the tone for the second dysfunction: fear of conflict. Teams that lack trust are incapable of engaging in unfiltered and passionate debate of ideas. Instead, they resort to veiled discussions and guarded comments. All great relationships, the ones that last over time, require productive conflict in order to grow. This is true in marriage, parenthood, friendship, and certainly business. Unfortunately, conflict is considered taboo in many situations, especially at work. And the higher you go up the management chain, the more you find people spending inordinate amounts of time and energy trying to avoid the kind of passionate debates that are essential to any great team. Teams that engage in productive conflict know that the only purpose is to produce the best possible solution in the shortest period of time. They discuss and resolve issues more quickly and completely than others, and they emerge from heated debates with no residual feelings or collateral damage, but with an eagerness and readiness to take on the next important issue. Ironically, teams that avoid ideological conflict often do so in order to avoid hurting team members’ feelings, and then end up encouraging dangerous tension. When team members do not openly debate and disagree about important ideas, they often turn to back-channel personal attacks, which are far nastier and more harmful than any heated argument over issues. The nice guy We had this guy “Philip” on our team who was absolutely lovable. He was dedicated, talented, funny, and humble. Sadly, for whatever reason, we witnessed a decline in his dedication, performance, and accountability. By this point everyone on our team developed a deep friendship with Philip, so nobody wanted to confront him and rock the boat. Nobody, including me. Sure, we all realized it was happening, and it was even brought up in private conversations a few times – but nothing proactive happened. Philip eventually checked out; emotionally, and with a resignation letter. Months later, in casual conversation with Philip – I told him how his performance was total-crap in the last several months of working with us. To my surprise, he said, “I wish you had told me. Things might have been different.” An excerpt from: Every company has interesting, difficult issues to wrestle with, and a lack of interest during meetings is a pretty good indication that the team may be avoiding issues because they are uncomfortable with one another. Remember, there is no excuse for having continually boring meetings. Do team members engage in unguarded debate? Do they honestly confront one another? Every executive team should be engaged and passionate about what it does, regardless of its business. Even teams that get along well together should be experiencing regular conflict and intense debate during meetings. If this is not the case, it is likely that there is a lack of trust, and unwillingness to confront one another. Even the best teams have moments when members need to hold one another accountable for their attitudes or actions. Holding back during these times is a sure sign of future problems for the team. I’m proud that we have regular disagreements and debates on all kinds of things, from where our efforts should be with internal projects to what we should order on our pizzas. My team has absolutely no problem calling me out when my ideas are bad or if I’ve erred in judgement. And while at times it can feel like mutiny, it’s far from it. When it’s time to collaborate, ideate, and brainstorm – I want my team to be unfiltered and relentless, in pursuit to find the best solution. Not concerned with ‘how the boss feels’. And because of this, what we call, fair-play policy, we’re closer, tighter, and achieve more as individuals and as an organization.

Pay dues online The Order of the Arrow, Scouting's Honor Society, is made up of thousands of great Scouts and Scouters like yourself, who were elected to the Order by their fellow Scouts because they saw something in you, something special - those qualities of trust, leadership, friendship, brotherhood, and a desire to serve others - that set you apart. You undertook the Ordeal to prove your dedication to the high ideals of service that is the hallmark of our Order. Perhaps you have achieved an even greater understanding of Wimachtendienk, Wingolauchsik, Witahemui by sealing your membership through the Brotherhood, or even now keep the flame of cheerful service alive through leadership in service. You are an Arrowman and we ask that you continue your support for the Order of the Arrow and its worthy goals which are more important now than ever. An active member in Colonneh Lodge is someone who is a currently registered Scout or Scouter in the Sam Houston Area Council with current dues paid. With active membership, you are entitled to attend all functions of the lodge appropriate for your honor level. It also entitles you to wear your OA flap. Technically, if you don’t pay your dues, you are not a member, and the flap should be removed from your uniform. Think back on your Ordeal. Remember the Obligation and Admonition. Remember ... "The ones, who chose you, need you."

Do you consider yourself creative? Are you one to turn to when a fresh idea is needed? Or do you typically look to someone else for these thoughts? I recently came across Dean Rieck’s “8 Bad Habits that Crush your Creativity and Stifle your Success” and found it quite interesting. His blog, Copyblogger, offer tips on various subjects for writers and entrepreneurs about how to increase their branding, traffic and subscribers. This post specifically targeted the main reasons why people are scared to be creative. This struck me because as PR professionals, we are REQUIRED to be creative in all aspects! This post also tied into our reading from last week about the importance of creativity and brainstorming throughout the stages of campaign planning. So what were his eight bad habits that hinder creativity? 1. Creating and evaluating at the same time 2. The expert syndrome 3. Fear of failure 4. Fear of ambiguity 5. Lack of confidence 6. Discouragement from other people 7. Being overwhelmed by information 8. Being trapped by false limits Of these eight habits, I believe PR practitioners, especially those entering the profession, are hindered most by numbers two and three. Rieck describes “The Expert Syndrome” as people trying to follow exactly what the gurus of the profession did to become successful. He points out that, “It’s wise to listen, but unwise to follow without question.” I thought this was interesting because a person cannot be creative if he or she does not try their own ways of discovering new ideas. If the same routine is used over and over (as the gurus did it), how can fresh ideas and perspective ever be brought to the table? It is key to listen to what others have suggested in order to be successful, but it is never frowned upon to try something in your own way. Secondly, many people, even outside of PR, are afraid of failure. The feeling of someone rejecting your ideas is never encouraging. Once ideas are pushed out the window, you are prone to feel like future ideas may never be considered. According to the post, by taking more chances, you’ll succeed more often. Therefore, the more ideas you come up with, the less your mistakes are remembered. Our industry is surrounded by the demand for creativity. Although many agencies have a creative department, that doesn’t mean we should be boring when designing media kits, reaching out to the public, or even in every day press releases. Generating ideas means creating more success. So don’t be afraid to think outside the box! So what do you think? How does creativity play a role in PR? Do you agree that these two points are most often seen in PR professionals, or do you have a different opinion?

What dogs can teach us about being in our bodies by Kate Greene I recently spent 10 days dog-sitting a black lab and a pitbull mix. Here are 4 things I learned about being embodied from observing their world. 1) Take joy in the familiar Different from babies who are in awe of all things new to them, the experience of these dogs was maybe like that of preschoolers – one of creativity, playfulness, and possibility amidst the seemingly mundane. Whether it was a walk in the neighborhood, a fresh-cut lawn, playing in the same backyard every day, or even resting on the cool hard floor, they provided inspiration for waking up to new ways of interacting with even familiar experiences. 2) Find the fun in movement Dogs don’t exercise– they just enjoy moving! If you’ve spent any time with dogs, you’re probably familiar with the classic “rolling on the back” in the grass. Legs in the air, head tilted back, body flinging from one side to the other. This was an experience of grass like no other! One of the most wonderful things I witnessed was when the pitbull wormed his way on his belly through a grassy lawn, cool and damp from rainfall earlier that day. Refreshing! On local trails, they’d sometimes speed up, eager to get moving – at times, impressing me with their speed – and other times slowing down or completely stopping to enjoy whatever was in front of them. Their pace was dictated by what felt right, not a predetermined exercise routine. A stick in the woods could be broken, carried, or happily shared. I learned that anything could be a toy – even their own arms and legs! I quickly deemed them “yogi dogis.” Their downward facing dog stretches (a fitting name!) allowed them to find space from their underarms through their spine in ways that expended energy and provided relief. On their bellies, they’d find length from fingers to toes in a full-body stretch, reaching evenly in both directions. On their backs, inviting vulnerability and showing trust, they wiggled from side-to-side, radiating pure joy. Where could you pause on your neighborhood walk and find a deeper experience through your senses? What stretches feel most natural in your body? 3) Remember to rest and take breaks Even on the floor these dogs found rest, feeling grounded by the support below, and welcoming my comforting hands on their backs. The touch of another can invite such peace. They reminded me to take a break from work with the nudge of a couple heads at my desk, or the licking of my ankles, trying to catch my attention with an invitation for cuddles or an opportunity to step outside. Where I would normally go outside for a quick break with a purpose – take out the trash, bring in the mail, or talk on the phone – I found myself standing outside with them just to stand outside. I let the sun greet me in a warm embrace. Did you know the morning dew is something to relish? These two delighted in dew in more ways than I knew possible. Through touch, taste, and smell, they’d brush up against tall grasses and soft bushes, guided by the search for new smells – then, suddenly pausing at the sound of birds squawking or frogs croaking. Many days, I’d find the pitbull sunbathing, finding the spot where the light streams through the open window, providing a perfect spot to soak it all in. At night, they’d both curl up in the fetal position, finding a way to cuddle their own bodies and licking their paws for soothing self care. If furniture was removed, where could you find comfort? Can you get curious about your energy level and what it inspires in you? 4) Find satisfaction in food… your way! (And enjoy the treats!) Though their food was a fixed meal of delicious little dark brown bites of Purina, they each had their own way of enjoying it. While one would graze throughout the day, the other would eat her portion right up, both finding satisfaction in their unique experience of the same meal. Our grazing friend would emerge from his bowl with short bursts of energy, while our all-at-once buddy would find a cozy spot to curl up after each meal. As expected, both friends were excited for any and all treats, accepting them whenever offered. Eyes lit up, tongues out, free from guilt and shame. A few last thoughts I know we’re not going to suddenly default to ‘dog mode’ and not be our rational human selves, thinking and feeling our way through life with numerous responsibilities and pressures. It would be quite strange if we rolled around in the grass (though I won’t laugh if you try!). But I am thinking about what the experience of dogs can teach us about expanding our own experience in our bodies. What if our physical experience in the world was less time-bound and distance-conscious, and more about the possibilities of interacting with our environment with curiosity, creative movement, and all that our senses have to offer? How can we relish in all that we’re capable of – both fast and slow? How can playfulness greet us on both ends? Kate Greene (she/her) started her “body journey” with Talia during the pandemic and enjoys exploring new and liberating experiences with food, movement, and body image. As a licensed social worker, she holds a passion for holistic, community-based care. One of her greatest joys is facilitating experiences for connection, growth, and meaning making. Kate is a yoga instructor, mikveh guide, and serves on the YWCA Boston’s advocacy committee. Other passions include theater, creative writing, and Friday night shabbat! New to Boston during the pandemic, she enjoys getting out and exploring the beautiful northeast with her husband.

Enter a Home Brewing Competition As a home brewer, you craft delicious beers. But there comes a time in every brewer’s game when they plateau. They know there is something they need to change, but they can’t quite place a finger on it. Perhaps it’s an off-taste that keeps showing up in the beer; or maybe it’s a snag that gets the beer to almost what it should be, but something is lacking. If you really want to improve your craft; you need feedback! While visiting your local home brew club, such as the Rimrock Brewer’s Guild here in Billings, you can share and sample and get some feedback. But to have someone sit down and truly analyze your beer; you should be entering into competitions. Don’t Be Scared of the “Competition” When encouraging people to enter their beers into a home brew competition, we are met with a bit of resistance. Generally it’s along the lines of “my beer is nowhere near good enough to compete!” Fortunately, that’s not the point of the competition. Whether you’re just beginning, or you have been brewing for years. Whether you brew in the kitchen on a stove top with a simple kettle, or you have an entire room dedicated to crafting beer; the competition is there to help you become a better brewer. Here’s how it works: You hear of a competition that is coming up. Generally there are some guidelines to follow; for instance the Rimrock Brewer’s Guild is hosting one at the beginning of July that requires a particular strain of yeast (the rest of the style is up to you). So you decide to brew. While you may not normally take notes and write down your recipe; when brewing for a competition, this time you should. You want to document everything so you know what to change and when the next time around. You brew your beer, and fill at least two 12 ounce bottles that will be entered. Fill out the home brew competition entry; be as detailed as possible. Then affix the bottle labels to the bottle with a rubber band. These things are important so that the judges can taste the beer without being swayed by any of your information. Judges will judge the beer based on taste, smell, look, and overall impression. They will write notes on what they smell, any off flavors (and perhaps where they came from), and how true to the style your beer was. A good judge will give recommendations on changing malts, roasts, hops varieties, boil times, yeasts, etc. that will ultimately result in a better beer. You review the notes, and create your beer a second time implementing the changes. When the next competition comes along, enter your “new” beer and see if you score better! Brew Small; Brew Big; Brew Beer Recently the Rimrock Brewer’s Guild hosted a contest called “Here Comes the Sun.” The guidelines were simple: brew a beer that falls on the lighter side of the color spectrum. Matt Miller won that competition with a phenomenally crafted beer. Matt has also placed well in several other competitions. If you have seen Matt’s brew room, or even if you have seen pictures of his setup, it can be a bit intimidating. Your first thoughts will likely go to, “How am I supposed to compete with someone that has equipment like that?” Fortunately, you don’t need equipment like that. Matt has been brewing for a long time. He has invested a lot of time into his craft, and he has entered a lot of competitions. He keeps copious notes, and he learns from each competition. The result is that the beer he creates is true to style, tastes amazing, and is well crafted. The equipment facilitates the brewing process, but good equipment doesn’t necessarily mean good beer. Vern Anttila, on the other hand, is also passionate about beer. He has been brewing for a long time, and has created a large variety of beers. The difference between Matt and Vern: Matt has a brew room and Vern uses his kitchen. A brew kettle and a carboy can make great tasting beer just as well as the full setup. While having a room with fancy equipment might streamline the process, good beer is made by using the right ingredients, with the right touch, and taking pride in your craft. Whether you’re making a gallon in the kitchen, or 20 gallons in a dedicated brewing room; your beer can turn out magnificently. Follow the feedback you get from the competitions, and your beer will only get better. Prizes for the Winners It’s called a competition because there is generally a prize (more than just the prestige that comes as being called the winner) for crafting the best homebrew among the entries. For instance, Matt gets to collaborate with Mark Hastings, the head brewer at Uberbrew, and see his beer get produced on a commercial level and served to the city of Billings. It’s fun to win, but the real value is in the feedback; and don’t worry even if your beer is the worst in the bunch, there isn’t a ranking system that will put you at the bottom. Are you ready to brew better beer? Thank you to Scott Sery from Sery Content Development for writing this blog. Scott has been a homebrewer for over a decade. Over the years he has developed a palate for well crafted beer, and enjoys experiencing the nuances of the different styles. As the secretary of the Rimrock Brewer’s Guild he makes sure that the Guild is in communication with the members. Thank you to RBG members Matt Miller and Vern Attilas for sharing your brew days with us. Article sponsored by MCII Stay connected with 406 Hops Brewing News.

Hey y’all! I hope you’re having a great week! As I’m preparing for my next competition, I’m also preparing for…. the beach! Whoo hoo! I am so excited to relax and get away for a few days. My parents and I will be headed to the beach just two days after the competition. I’m starting to gather up the clothes, beauty products, snacks, and other things I think I’ll need at the beach. I thought I’d share my personal favorites I’ll be packing, and some things you should remember to pack! I’m going to break it down into beauty, clothes, and healthy snacks. Let’s get started! BEAUTY & SKINCARE| WHAT TO PUT ON YOUR FACE - I’ve recently started using Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Clay Cleanser and am loving it so far! - lightweight moisturizer - My current favorite is Sunday Riley Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream - facial sunscreen - tinted moisturizer or CC/BB Cream - My top picks are Supergoop! Broad Spectrum CC Cream or Tarte Tinted Moisturizer - cream highlighter - I love cream products for that beachy glow! My top pick is RMS Magic Luminizer. It’s coconut oil based and will give you that super natural dewy glow. - coral or bright pink blush - I’ll be taking a Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Blissful because they are so long lasting! I also love the sutble coral color for when I get a little tan. - waterproof Mascara - any kind will do, but waterproof is a must for obvious reasons! - tinted lip balm CLOTHES | WHAT TO WEAR - white tee shirts - they go with everything from skirts to jean shorts. I love to get mine at Target. - jean shorts - white shorts - comfy shorts - wrap skirt - sun dress - t-shirt dress - off the shoulder top - floral top - tank tops - flip-flops for the beach - workout/running shoes if you plan on being active - workout clothes for hiking or outdoor activities - bikinis (i like to limit it to 2 or 3. It’s good to have options but you don’t need to over pack) - one piece - baseball cap - fun jewelry HEALTH | WHAT TO SNACK ON some of my favorite protein/energy bars: other yummy snacks: - trail mix - rice cakes and travel packets of almond or peanut butter - travel packs or protein powder (great to mix in oatmeal at the hotel) I like these from PEScience. OTHER THINGS TO REMEMBER - water bottle - I love Corkcicle because they keep your water ice cold for up to 24 hours! - beach bag - cross body bag - reading for the beach – I’m taking a book and a few magazines! - your vitamins/supplements - cash for beach shops - extra sunscreen for your body - after burn sunscreen- I know you all wear sunscreen… but just in case! - camera – I’ll be bringing my cannon to get some quality shots and my polaroid for some fun snaps. I hope you all found this checklist helpful! Let me know what you’re beach (or pool) essentials are! Stay happy and healthy. Hey guys! Today’s tutorial is a fun purple and gold look, perfect for a holiday party! I love the “spotlight” or “halo” eye technique- when a much lighter shade is in the center and a deeper shade is on the inner and outer corners. It makes your look so big and doll-like, and is flattering on almost anyone! If you want to see how to get this look, watch the tutorial below! (full list of products below!) Thanks for watching! Here’s some more pics of the look: Smashbox On The Rocks Palette (discontinued…sorry! Use any purple shadow that is similar!) Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog!

Farewell to Nuclear Power – A Lecture on Fukushima 原発を即時廃炉に Dec. 18, 2011 Hirose Takashi with an introduction by C. Douglas Lummis Many people in Japan have understood for years that the country’s nuclear power industry was heading for catastrophe; few people have worked as hard or as passionately to prevent that catastrophe as Hirose Takashi. Since the early 1980s he has written a shelf of books, mostly on that subject. The first to attract notice was his Tokyo ni, Genpatsu wo! (Nuclear Plants in Tokyo! ), a reductio ad absurdum of the nuke promoters’ argument: if they are so safe, why not put them in the center of the city, rather than hundreds of miles away, forcing you to build expensive and destructive power lines all over the country, which also eat up a vast amount of electricity in the wires? The book was a bombshell, exposing as it did big-city egoism: we get the electricity, somebody else gets the danger. The exposé applies to the 3/11 catastrophe: many people haven’t noticed the significance of the fact that the plants at Fukushima belong to the Tokyo Electric Co. The electricity they (used to) generate goes (went) to Tokyo; Fukushima’s electricity comes from elsewhere. Before the catastrophe, Hirose had written that if a nuclear catastrophe ever really happened in Japan, he would go silent. Of course, he has not been able to do that. Over the years he has been attacked as a fear monger, and indeed, he has generally written about worst-case scenarios. (How would you like it if your fire department took the attitude, Don’t worry, there probably won’t be any fires?) Now the worst has happened and, astoundingly! most people don’t seem to realize that it has. Today Hirose is doing the work he hoped he would never have to do, writing article after article, doing interview after interview, travelling around the country on grueling speaking tours, explaining to people the obvious: yes, this is a genuine nuclear catastrophe, and no, there is no reason to believe that that was the last major earthquake. The following is a video with English translation of Hirose Takashi lecture in Tsuchiura, September 11, 2011. You can skip the first eight minutes of introduction to go directly to the lecture. The video was translated and subtitled by Hiroaki Kobayashi, Kazko Kawai and Fritz Spencer. There also exists a translation – the first of any of his books – of his Fukushima Meltdown: The World’s First Earthquake, Tsunami, Nuclear Disaster which Hirose wrote in the weeks following 3/11. It is available as an online book at Amazon Kindle. Other Asia-Pacific Journal articles by Takashi Hirose and translated by C. Douglas Lummis:

Thinking about eloping to San Diego? Ryan and Alethea did it right yesterday with a beautiful beach wedding with their parents and grandparents in attendance. Congratulations to my sweet friends Mr. and Mrs. Pool who eloped to San Diego from AZ. I so appreciated her commitment to an eco-friendly flower choice. She had a beautiful bouquet made from recycled paper! A lovely keepsake.

Former Congressman Hon. Bill Zeliff was a member of a recent U.S. delegation to Morocco with Legacy’s Legislative Fellowship Program. Legacy is now preparing another U.S. delegation, including expert media strategists, Peter Fenn and Rich Galen, to depart for Morocco to train and support transparency and engagement in the political process. Read Congressman Zeliff’s reflection on his trip below: “The trip to Morocco was absolutely outstanding in every way. The country itself is beautiful, the people were friendly, and the hospitality that we received showed the great respect that the people we met had for Legacy International and Atefeh Leavitt. I very much enjoyed my assignment of talking about democracy and discussing how our government works. Our meeting with the Moroccan Academy for Diplomacy at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was outstanding as well as the two sessions with Al Akhawayn University, and EGE. Meeting with young people shows me that the United States needs to do as many exchanges as possible to develop strong relationships and respect for our country. The timing is perfect, now that Morocco is changing their government structure and this should be a great opportunity for us to work with them on issues like the program that was put together for us. Meeting with government officials needs to be a high priority and I believe our meetings with Ambassador Kaplan, having dinner with his people, and meeting with Khalid Zerouali, Director of National Security and his entire staff gave us a chance to strengthen our insights and develop an even greater relationship that started back in the days of our founding. I know I don’t have to tell you the importance of literacy, job creation and how to develop small businesses, and in general, the work that we did in Morocco were great opportunities to show and share stories of success as we do exchanges to help the Moroccan people in terms of self-empowerment. As to the future, I have a strong interest in working to develop stronger trade opportunities for Morocco and the US. I think Morocco is well positioned for the future and I would like to help them. The opportunities are unlimited and I hope we can discuss this in the near future. Thank you for the work that Legacy International is doing to strengthen the relationship between Morocco and the USA.” William H. Zeliff, Jr. Former Member of Congress, NH

Villaraigosa Urges Angelenos To Ditch Cars For ‘CicLAvia’ LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is urging Angelenos to get out of their cars and use 10 miles of city streets as a park to ride, jog or walk for the upcoming CicLAvia event. The city will close a 10-miles stretch of roadway to cars on Sunday, April 15 from East Hollywood through downtown and into Boyle Heights. The route meanders through Koreatown, MacArthur Park and Westlake, featuring six hubs which sell merchandise and give out information about CicLAvia. Short extensions into Chinatown and South Los Angeles will also be closed to traffic; however, there are several crossing points for vehicles that which are highlighted online at www.ciclavia.org. The streets will be closed from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The previous CicLAvia events have drawn crowds close to 100,000 people. “CicLAvia represents a sea change in our city,” Villaraigosa said. “We’re getting off our addiction to the single passenger automobile by creating infrastructure for bikes, increasing public transit options, and making it easier for Angelenos to get from point A to point B with or without their cars.” “People love CicLAvia because it is incredibly fun, and there is a sense of camaraderie and community that is rare for a city as large and diverse as ours,” said Aaron Paley, CicLAvia’s co-founder and producer. Supporters said the event has gotten some Angelenos to change their day-to-day transportation habits, turning more often to bikes and public transit. Backers also said the event exposes participants to local businesses along the route, providing restaurants, bars, shops and services with a “CicLAvia Bump” in customers. “Having just 100 people go by your shop on a bike or by foot is significantly better than 1,000 speeding by in their cars,” said Matt Berman, founder of Bolt Barbers, who has a shop on Spring Street downtown. Villaraigosa also announced a partnership with Bike Nation, a bike-share company, to provide 100 free bikes for riders to use during CicLAvia. The bikes are available on a first come, first serve basis; however, participants are encouraged to reserve a bike online at www.bikenationusa.com/ciclavia due to the limited availability.

In November Bishop Mark welcomed seminarians from the Redemptoris Mater House of formation in London which forms men to become diocesan and missionary priests for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Westminster to serve the New Evangelization and is part of the wider network of the Redemptoris Mater seminaries and the Neocatechumenal Way. Please pray for them during there training. Prayer for Priestly Vocations Father, in every generation you provide ministers of Christ and the Church. We come before you now, asking that you call forth more men to serve our Archdiocese in the ministerial priesthood. Give us priests who will lead and guide your holy people gathered by Word and Sacrament. Bless us with priestly vocations so that we can continue to be a truly Eucharistic Church, strengthened in our discipleship of Jesus Christ, your Only Son. Raise up, we pray, men who are generous in their service, willing to offer their lives and all their gifts for your greater glory and for the good of your people. We make our prayer in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, through Christ, Our Lord.

The Volunteer of the Month for November is Bethany Collins! Bethany began as a pet therapy volunteer with Hammer in 2008, and has been volunteering ever since! Bethany was looking for a place to volunteer with her wonderful new puppy, Chase. He is a miniature Australian shepherd who is very smart and well-trained. She reached out to Hammer, who paired her with Lynn. Lynn and Bethany began by walking Chase every Friday afternoon. They would then have a snack and visit with each other too. Lynn and Bethany both love animals so much, it is part of their bond. Chase loves seeing Lynn and literally jumps in her lap and gives her a hug before she can barely sit down! As they got to know each other, their relationship grew. They began going out to dinner together, and eventually Lynn would visit Chase at Bethany’s home, having dinner there. “It has been 10 years and Lynn has been with my family for numerous holidays over the years. They all ask about her and enjoy seeing her. She has become part of my family!” Bethany feels that the greatest impact volunteering with Lynn has had on her has been the ability to nurture, comfort and provide friendship toward Lynn. She can’t think of anything that is better than that! Bethany wants potential volunteers to know, “Working with Hammer will enrich your life because you can make a difference to one or many individuals that Hammer serves. I feel honored to be able to volunteer with Hammer.” Thank you, Bethany, for your 300 hours of service to Lynn. And thank you, Chase, for being such a wonderful pup! If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Cathy Thoma at email@example.com or 952-345-8554.

PATT MORRISON SCHEDULE Tuesday, December 28, 2010 CALL-IN @ 866-893-5722, 866-893-KPCC; OR JOIN THE CONVERSATION ONLINE ON THE PATT MORRISON BLOG AT KPCC-DOT-ORG 1:06 – 1:19 1:21 – 1:39 Don’t like your Christmas gifts? Let Amazon be rude for you There are infamous examples of bad Christmas presents—fruitcake, bunny-themed pajamas from grandma, the toy rifle that will shoot your eye out (hat tip to “A Christmas Story”). But there are also honest mistakes made by gift givers that happen not just over the holidays but for birthdays and all other special occasions—differing tastes in music, clothes, bad sizing estimates. The embarrassment that is felt on the part of both the givers and recipients of bad presents is one motivation for Amazon.com’s patented new approach to giving gifts but another potent motivator is the economic inefficiency of returning those bad gifts. Amazon is working on a way for people to return gifts before they receive them, allowing users of the website to specify a “convert all gifts” option that would in effect keep an online list of lousy gift-givers whose choices would be vetted before anything ships. Critics say that Amazon’s idea takes the spontaneity, the surprise and the manners out of gift giving. But if it allows you to ditch the fruitcake before you even receive it, are manners a worthy sacrifice at the alter of bad gifts?

Still thinking about installing solar panels or insulation, replacing your front door or otherwise weatherizing your home? It would behoove you to do so in the next four days, before those tax credits are slashed from 30% of the cost to just 10% with a $500 maximum for things like insulation, exterior windows and storm doors, skylights and metal and asphalt heat-resistant roofs. Looking at some energy-efficient windows? If installed before this Friday, December 28th, they’ll net you a tax credit of $1,500, but wait until the New Year and you’ll be looking at just $200. Patt talks with a tax and energy expert about how to get in your last minute credits and about the larger question of how Washington’s decision to cut these tax incentives could affect homeowners’ decisions to invest in long term savings by installing high-efficiency upgrades.

Irish Soda Bread -- a recipe with rules and about 50 million ways to break them. Traditionally, Irish soda bread is made with 4 ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, and buttermilk. That's it. Anything else added and it is no longer a "traditional" Irish Soda Bread. Not only does this bread only involve four ingredients, but there is also no kneading or rise time involved. You can't get much easier than that. Of course, over the years, a whole host of things have been added from eggs to whiskey to yogurt to raisins and the list goes on. So... feel free to add whatever you'd like. Since St. Patty's Day is just around the corner, I opted to go for the "almost traditional" route by including just a bit of sugar. I can't follow all the rules, now can I? Mini Irish Soda Breads Adapted from: CaffeIna Adapted from: CaffeIna 3 1/2 cups flour (all-purpose or cake flour) 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 8+ ounces buttermilk Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour, then set aside. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Make sure the ingredients are mixed well. Form a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the buttermilk into the well and stir with a wooden spoon. The dough will be soft but lumpy. If all the flour mixture is not hydrated, add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Knead the dough 15-30 seconds, then shape into a large disk. You can slice a cross in the dough and bake at this point, or you can divide the dough evenly into 6 balls. Flatten the tops of the balls, then cut a cross halfway deep into the top of each one. Transfer the balls to the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 400 degrees F and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Transfer the breads to a cooling rack for several minutes before serving them. Makes: 6 mini breads Right out of the oven (okay, after cooling for a few minutes), these little bread balls somewhat reminded me of those flaky Pillsbury biscuits. You know the ones, with the layers you can peel, only with a much crunchier outside and without the buttery factor. Not so bad for only 5 ingredients. Then I tried to reheat these wrapped in foil in the oven right before dinner. Not so great. These had lost their crispy crunch outside and fluffy inside, and were instead just tough on the outside and super dense on the inside. Even the ones that didn't go in the oven were the same way. Sad face. If you plan on serving these right out of the oven, I say go for it. They're tasty then. However, I wouldn't make this ahead of time or plan on keeping it around, it just doesn't hold up for later use. |Amount per serving| |Calories 283||Calories from fat 9| |% Daily Value| |Total Fat 1.0g||2%| |Total Carbs 58.2g||19%| |Dietary Fiber 2.0g||8%| |Vitamin A 0%||Vitamin C 1%| |Calcium 6%||Iron 19%|

Hear Steve Adamyk Band’s White-Knuckle Pop-Punk Gem ‘Katacombs’ From the Ottawa quartet's forthcoming full-length, 'Third', out soon on Dirtnap “I sometimes refer to it as the [Washington] D.C. of the north,” METZ singer-guitarist Alex Edkins told us a few months ago, when talking about his Toronto post-punk trio’s beginnings in Canada’s DIY-friendly capital, Ottawa. “It’s a government city, so most people work for the government, but there’s not so much happening. So what do you do? You start a band.” One such outfit is Steve Adamyk Band, purveyors of no-nonsense, snot-glazed pop-punk like “Katakombs,” one minute and 16 seconds of hellfire to be heard on the Ottawa foursome’s forthcoming sophomore full-length, Third, due later this year on Dirtnap.

Welp, first of all, in this day and age of clueless users and net savy dorks, it is quite easy to appear to be well versed in Hacking. That doesn't mean you should live in fear of any asshole well versed in keyboard-fu. Some simple questions before we get on to the technical goobity gook. First of all, who is this person that is pestering you? What is there motivation for pestering you? What makes you think he is a hacker? Does he say hacker or H@X0R? The prime step in defending yourself is know thine enemy. Also it would be really helpful if you let us know as much about your setup as possible. This will help us identitfy any significant flaws or exploit goodness. How do you connect through the Internet? Do you have more then one computer on said connection? Do these computers tie into a router (brand is helpful) or a switch? Is your operating system uptodate? and finally, what steps have you taken to protect yourself online? "Remember how much fun you had shooting spitwads at the teacher in seventh grade? Imagine applying that kind of attitude to actually fucking with Mitsubishi!" - Jello Biafra

GAINESVILLE, FL – August 22, 2012 Xhale, Inc. announced today it has been awarded a $1.7 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II grant by the NIH National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to continue the development of SMART® (Self Monitoring and Reporting Therapeutics), a breath-based medication adherence system for HIV/AIDS therapies. In 2007, NIH / NIMH awarded Xhale an SBIR Phase I grant to test the technical merit of SMART®. SBIR Phase II grants enable SBIR Phase I grantees to further develop their technology and prepare it for commercialization. Xhale will use the Phase II grant to develop and test additional functionality, accuracy and system usability. The result will be a commercial version of the system which will have multiple benefits to patients, doctors, researchers and pharmaceutical companies. As with the Phase I SBIR, Dr. Richard Melker, CTO of Xhale, will be the principal investigator for the project. “Medication adherence has tremendous impact on patient health,” said Dr. Melker. “This is particularly true with HIV/AIDS patients where just a 10% change in adherence is associated with doubling of viral load and a 21% increase in the risk of developing full blown AIDS. NIHM was particularly interested since non-adherence to antibiotic or antiviral regimens also pose a serious threat to public health through the emergence of resistant organisms.” “Building on our Phase I achievements, we will design and deploy a handheld, breath-based medication adherence device,” reports Dr. Donn Dennis, project Co-investigator and CSO for Xhale. “The system will first remind the patient to take their medication. After ingesting their medication, the patient will blow into the device which will detect and document that the appropriate medication was taken at the proper time. This technology should improve adherence rates, especially in high-risk populations, and provide pharmaceutical companies and the FDA with a higher quality data set for evaluating drug safety and efficacy in clinical trials.” The New England Healthcare Institute (NEHI) in its August 2009 report noted that poor medication adherence costs the U.S. as much as $290 billion annually (13% of total health care expenditures),and affects virtually every aspect of the health care system. Besides an estimated $47 billion each year for drug-related hospitalizations, not taking medications as prescribed has been associated with as many as 40% of admissions to nursing homes and with an additional $2,000 a year per patient in medical costs for visits to physicians’ offices. This is the third time in two years that Xhale has been awarded an SBIR grant. Previous awards were SBIR Phase I awards from the National Institute of Mental Health and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. There is a great need for a method to improve drug compliance which provides simple monitoring of medication dosing which is non-invasive, intuitive, and sanitary. Non-compliance of patients to drug regimens prescribed by their physicians results in excessive healthcare costs estimated to be around $100 billion per year through lost work days, increased cost of medical care, higher compliance rates, as well as drug wastage. Non-compliance refers to the failure to take the prescribed dosage at the prescribed time which results in under medication or overmedication. Non-compliance of patients with communicable diseases costs the public health authorities millions of dollars annually and increases the likelihood of drug-resistance, with potential for widespread dissemination of drug-resistant pathogens resulting in epidemics. This method determines whether a patient has taken a medication, by providing a patient a medication comprising a combination of a least one active therapeutic agent and an odorous compound or olfactory marker, which is then detectable in gaseous exhaled breath. The patient then blows into an electronic SMART™ device which analyzes the patient’s exhaled breath for detection, or absence, of the odorous compound or olfactory marker to determine compliance. Presence of the markers indicates the patient has taken the medication at the prescribed time and in the prescribed dosage. The system is also expected to be an important tool for use in pharmaceutical clinical trials as part of drug development. Xhale, Inc. is a medical technology innovator, developing products that transform healthcare and save lives. The company is a world leader in the use of sensors that analyze vapor and exhaled breath and is focused on novel patient-centric monitoring solutions. Its current product lines include SMART®, the world’s only definitive medication adherence monitoring system, and Assurance™, a replacement for conventional finger-based pulse oximetry which will monitor multiple patient parameters from a single-point-of-contact sensor, more comfortably and conveniently than finger-based pulse oximetry with fewer false alarms.

When the zombies/ Wolfs attacked Alexandria, they left a huge mess behind. People did the best they could to fix the walls, clean the roads from the dead and make Alexadria look like it did before. But that it’s not enough. There isn’t enough food to feed all the citizens and is something that can cause problems. We learn that Alexandria can exchange goods with Jesus’s camp. The war with Negan will leave many dead behind, but starvation can do that too. Our team has no other choice, but fight Negan and his people. Alexandria really needs a boost right now, because it is falling apart fast. In this episode Abraham has a love related dilemma. Stay with Rosita or go with Sasha. We can see that he cares about Rosita but his heart is torn in half. He is starting questioning the future and if he should start a family. When Abraham almost killed that guy from the other camp, he told them that when he though his life has ended, he saw his wife, his love. That’s what happened to Abraham when that guy was choking him. But we didn’t see who he saw. I’m pretty sure it was Sasha. And when he stood up, the necklace that Rosita gave him fell on the floor. I think this is a sign that he knows who he should end up with. What can I say about this guy. I think he means well and the crew should trust him. For now at least. He knows that his camp is in trouble with Negan and that they can’t win a war with spears. I don’t think our people should be threatened by this new camp. Maybe it should be the other way around! As the history tells us, our people like to leave a mess wherever they go! And everything turns to dust once they leave! I still don’t understand though, how Jesus can escape without anyone noticing him. I think he is a great character, and he will bring something new to the show! These people have a good thing going there! But once our people arrive there, everything will change! Our crew have that impact on places! They usually turn them to dust! Anyway, we first meet the guards. Two people on top of the fence, holding spears. On the inside we see people taking care of the animals, washing clothes, talking. Just a normal and calm camp. I’m not quite sure how they managed to survive this long, but ok! Then, we meet Gregory! A guy that will be eaten by a zombie as soon as he goes out the Hilltop door! We can see that he is the kind of guy who was always inside his precious palace and never got the chance to fight. He is used to giving orders and leading people. That’s why he thought he could control our people too. And Maggie. But Maggie figured him out quickly and knew how to talk to him. After Lory’s death during birth, I have a bad feeling about this. I don’t think two people will die during birth in this show, but I also don’t think that two babies can survive either. Maggie is lucky they met the doctor that can help her during her pregnancy. Also I think this pregnancy affected Abraham, and showed him that he can plan the future and don’t give up hope. Also, in this episode, we can see Maggie take Deanna’s place. Rick trusts her to negotiate with the other camp, and I think she is doing it right. At first Gregory had the upper hand, but after the attack, Maggie knew what she had to do. She convinced him to give Alexandria half of his food. The same amount of food that Negan was taking. At the end Jesus told them that not even Negan took that much food, so points on Maggie! She turned out to as good as Deanna at this job, if not better!

Study finds that children who are anxious before surgery have a more complicated recovery process. According to the study that was conducted by the Yale School of Medicine study published in this months edition of Journal Paediatrics, Children who are anxious before surgery experience a more painful, slow, and complicated postoperative recovery. Zeev Kain, M.D., professor in the Departments of Anaesthesiology, Paediatrics, and the Yale Child Study Centre, and the lead author, explained that this study is of considerable importance as more than five million children in the US undergo surgery every year and up to 45% experience significant stress and anxiety prior to surgery. AdvertisementIn his five-year study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Kain and his team recruited 241 children aged five- to 12-years-old who were scheduled to undergo elective tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. The personality characteristics of the children and their parents were assessed before the surgery. All of the children were admitted to a research unit at Yale following the surgery and postoperative pain and analgesic consumption were recorded every hour. After 24 hours in the hospital, the children were discharged and followed up at home for the next 14 days. The researchers found that anxious children experienced more problems emerging from anaesthesia and significantly more pain both during the hospital stay and over the first three days at home. During home recovery anxious children also consumed significantly more codeine and acetaminophen and had a higher incidence of postoperative anxiety and sleep problems. "The results of our study indicate that decreasing the anxiety of children before surgery will result in improved recovery after surgery, reduced pain, and lower hospital costs," Kain said. "But ongoing randomised, controlled trials are needed to clearly draw this conclusion." Kain and his colleagues currently are examining this issue in an NIH funded study. You May Also Like

Thoughts on art in places of crisis. Which of these would allow for relaxation and give you a sense of calm - cold white walls kept empty for easy cleaning...or thick warm carpets with richly colored paintings on the walls? How often are we sitting in a hospital looking for any distraction to take our minds off the pressing issue at hand? Hopefully never! But if in such a situation, and you were able to zone out for a bit, it would certainly replenish your spirit and provide the needed break to gain some calm and clarity so needed in such situations. Being able to relax for a few minutes in a crisis situation allowing for clearer thinking would be unequivocally beneficial to a care giver or patient. Art allows for such a distraction, it is a pathway for daydreaming. Looking at an image can bring a flood of thoughts, allow for escape from the reality you are presently in, and can give you a moment of tranquility. Do you play it safe with Monet, O'Keefe or Kadinsky? Recently I was in a children's waiting room and they had some very lively and colorful Miro's up. They were playful line drawings and really added an element of lightheartedness to the room. In our lives we need to create environments of peaceful existence. Be more aware of the space you create and how it affects you, and others. We have the power in shaping the mood and feel for the places we inhabit. Nurture your mind and soul with outer peace.

President Donald Trump on Friday said the U.S. and China had reached a “very substantial phase one deal” on trade, as stocks closed sharply higher Friday, with analysts pinning the rally on optimism over the U.S.-China trade talks. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the U.S. would not implement tariff hikes on Chinese goods that had been set for next week, but U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said there had not been a decision on tariffs slated for December, and Chinese technology giant Huawei wasn’t part of the preliminary deal. There was agreement on intellectual-property issues, currency matters and financial services, and the deal includes up to $40 billion or $50 billion in purchases of U.S. agricultural products, Trump said. He estimated it would take three to five weeks to put the deal into writing. U.S. and Chinese officials expect to meet in Chile in five or six weeks. Earlier Friday, a Bloomberg News report citing unnamed sources said the U.S. and China had reached a partial trade agreement that could help lead to a truce in their trade war and lay the groundwork for a broader deal. This week’s U.S.-China trade talks have come amid expectations about a “mini-deal” that would potentially involve concessions ahead of a larger agreement, such as China offering to buy more American agricultural products or the U.S. pulling back on tariffs. TESTIMONY IN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY In impeachment-related news, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, said Friday that he will testify on Thursday before House committees leading the impeachment inquiry even though the Trump administration has directed him not to testify. The inquiry, announced last month by House Democrats, is centered on how Trump asked his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate Biden and his son. Also Friday, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, testified that Trump pressured the State Department to remove her from her position. She was ousted after insisting that requests to Ukrainian officials from Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, for investigations be relayed through official channels, according to an Associated Press report citing a former diplomat. TRUMP JOINS AMAZON’S TWITCH In a fresh effort to reach supporters directly as he does with his Twitter TWTR, +2.07% account, the president has joined Amazon.com’s AMZN, +0.68% Twitch, a live-streaming service for videogame players. That’s even though he has frequently criticized the e-commerce giant and its CEO, Jeff Bezos, who also owns The Washington Post. Trump’s Twitch channel on Friday featured messages about watching an upcoming campaign rally and donating to his re-election effort. Other politicians are on Twitch, too — such as Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, who also has been an Amazon critic.

There is real food in Tottenham Saturday, February 13th , 2010 Quite what possesses someone to open a fine dining restaurant in Tottenham is beyond me. It is area best known for its occasional shooting of policemen (from the Tottenham Outrage of 1909 to the Broadwater Farm Riots in 1985) and yet somehow The Lock, open for four years now, succeeds. The cooking is technically good, they make their own bread from scratch, and the service was genuinely friendly. Highlights included risotto cake topped with tiger prawns (illustrated) and good tarte tatin. If you are ever in the area, then ask yourself why. But if you do end up there, the Lock is worth a visit. Charlotte’s Bistro is a relative of Charlotte’s Place in Ealing, and indeed the head chef of the Ealing establishment is now cooking at the Chiswick branch. The place sticks sensibly to familiar bistro dishes, and is fairly priced. There were some technical inconsistencies, but I have certainly eaten much worse food, and as a bonus the service was particularly capable. The restaurant is already packed out a week after opening, suggesting that the denizens of Chiswick are eminently capable of supporting a new restaurant if its follows an appealing formula. Franco Manca continues to deliver its lovely pizzas, and they have expanded the menu somewhat. They now offer garlic bread (made from the same pizza base, so lovely as well as generous in size) and a few ice creams made by an Italian friend of the owner. A chocolate ice cream involved high quality chocolate, but the texture was a little grainier than ideal. Still, the pizzas are the thing here. Whites (pcitured) is a restaurant tucked away in a village in Sussex, but with an unusual interest in using local produce; so much so, indeed, that each dish has listed with it the number of miles that the main component travelled to the restaurant from its source. This demonstrates a rare awareness about just how local the kitchen’s suppliers really are. Given this intriguing premise I wish the cooking had been rather more even, though there were certainly some high spots, such as home-made bread and excellent triple-cooked chips. Given some of the utterly unseasonal ingredients I have been presented with recently in some London restaurants, such attention to detail is to be admired, even if the meal overall did not quite live up to its promise. I also enjoyed a dinner at the Harwood Arms arranged by Steve Plotnicki, who runs the Opinionated About Dining website. With a series of excellent game dishes, including some lovely fallow deer braised in cider and hare rissole with tasty Oxford sauce, a fine time was had by all.
