Myth of the ‘Moderate Muslim’
“When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them.”
– The Quran, Surah 9:5
When it comes to the global scourge of orthodox Islam, the Western world, which Islamists expressly seek to “destroy from within,” is an upside-down realm wherein objective facts, logic and reason must yield to multiculturalist make-believe, “progressive” propaganda and political correctness run amok. Faithful Muslims want to kill you, and faithless progressives seem all too happy to help them along. Look at the ongoing Muslim invasion of Europe. This progressive paradise, a burgeoning multicultural dystopia, is beginning to look an awful lot like hell on earth.
Fact: Islam is about control. The word itself means “submission.” It is a socio-political pseudo-religion based upon the incoherent scribblings of one man – the “prophet” Muhammad, a warring tyrant who, as even the Quran concedes, was a murderous misogynist and pedophile. This unholy book is loosely plagiarized from the Bible’s Old and New Testaments – Scriptures that, by contrast, were seamlessly transcribed over centuries by roughly 40 men under the direct and divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
Muhammad taught, and the Quran stresses, that a central tenet of Islam is to convert, enslave or kill the infidel. An infidel is anyone who is not Muslim or, depending on who’s doing the killing, belongs to a different sect of Islam. Those who fall into that elusive, perpetually mute category tagged “moderate Muslim” are also infidels. They’re bad Muslims and so, according to the Quran, not Muslims at all.
To be sure, “moderate Muslim” is a contradiction in terms. It is intrinsically oxymoronic. Whereas “moderate” (read: liberal) “Christians,” such as those belonging to the PCUSA, embrace certain apostasies that run directly counter to the biblical teachings of Christianity (e.g., the pagan embrace of homosexual sin and child sacrifice by way of abortion), “moderate Muslims” likewise embrace an apostate version of Islam that runs directly counter to the clear teachings of the Quran.
While devout followers of Jesus Christ, who is Life – God incarnate – are, like He, characteristically peaceful; devout followers of Muhammad, the dead, child-raping, woman-beheading founder of Islam – demon incarnate – are, like he, characteristically violent. Whereas “Muslim extremists,” that is, faithful Muslims, kill people extremely; “Christian extremists,” that is, faithful Christians, love people, including their enemies, extremely.
Islam explicitly requires a worldwide caliphate (global domination and the violent imposition of Islamic Shariah law). This fact is not open for serious debate and is available for all to read, hear, see and, tragically, experience. Islam, therefore, is inherently at odds with freedom, democracy and the United States Constitution. While devout followers of Muhammad readily admit this reality, the suicidal left yet remains hell-bent, head in the sand, on “tolerating” itself, and the rest of us, to death.
According to the Islamic watchdog group TheReligionofPeace.com – a fantastic resource for the unfiltered facts on Islam – “The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule.” The aim of these verses is to dehumanize all non-Muslims, making it easier for Muslims of every stripe to slaughter them with impunity when the time is right. In addition to Surah 9:5, cited above, here are but a handful of Muhammad’s bloody calls to arms:
- “Strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination.” – Quran (9:73)
- “O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness.” – Quran (9:123)
- “And when We wish to destroy a town, We send Our commandment to the people of it who lead easy lives, but they transgress therein; thus the word proves true against it, so We destroy it with utter destruction.” – Quran (17:16)
- “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard (ruthless) against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves.” – Quran (48:29)
From the Hadith (sayings of Muhammad):
- “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. ‘O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.’” – Bukhari (52:177)
- “Fight everyone in the way of Allah and kill those who disbelieve in Allah.” – Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 992
- “Allah’s Apostle said … ‘I have been made victorious with terror.’” – Bukhari (52:220)
“But the Bible says to kill unbelievers too!” cry the Muslim apologists. Nonsense. “Unlike nearly all of the Old Testament verses of violence,” observes ReligionOfPeace.com, “the verses of violence in the Quran are mostly open-ended, meaning that they are not restrained by the historical context of the surrounding text.” (Christian theologian Dr. Michael Brown has penned a brilliant contrast/comparison between the Quran and the Old Testament, which thoroughly debunks manipulative false equivalencies often drawn by those who wish to sow confusion.)
Still, we need only look to the many polls to affirm the alarmingly high percentages of Muslims (hundreds-of-millions in number) who seek, through the most violent means imaginable, Islamic world domination. Again, here are but a few:
- 83 percent of Palestinian Muslims, 62 percent of Jordanians and 61 percent of Egyptians approve of jihadist attacks on Americans. World Public Opinion Poll (2009).
- 1.5 Million British Muslims support the Islamic State, about half their total population. ICM (Mirror) Poll 2015.
- Two-thirds of Palestinians support the stabbing of Israeli civilians. Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (2015).
- 38.6 percent of Western Muslims believe 9/11 attacks were justified. Gallup (2011).
- 45 percent of British Muslims agree that clerics preaching violence against the West represent “mainstream Islam.” BBC Radio (2015).
- 38 percent of Muslim-Americans say Islamic State (ISIS) beliefs are Islamic or correct. (Forty-three percent disagree.) The Polling Company CSP Poll (2015).
- One-third of British Muslim students support killing for Islam. Center for Social Cohesion (Wikileaks cable).
- 78 percent of British Muslims support punishing the publishers of Muhammad cartoons. NOP Research.
- 80 percent of young Dutch Muslims see nothing wrong with holy war against non-believers. Most verbalized support for pro-Islamic State fighters. Motivaction Survey (2014).
- Nearly one-third of Muslim-Americans agree that violence against those who insult Muhammad or the Quran is acceptable. The Polling Company CSP Poll (2015).
- 68 percent of British Muslims support the arrest and prosecution of anyone who insults Islam. NOP Research.
- 51 percent of Muslim-Americans say that Muslims should have the choice of being judged by Shariah courts rather than courts of the United States (only 39 percent disagree). The Polling Company CSP Poll (2015).
- 81 percent of Muslim respondents support the Islamic State (ISIS). Al-Jazeera poll (2015).
Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster and the moderate Muslim: Even as we hear of the occasional sighting, most reasonable people remain skeptical as to whether, in reality, these mysterious creatures even exist.

About DC's Legends of Tomorrow
The fifth season of the American television series Legends of Tomorrow, which is based on characters from DC Comics, is scheduled to premiere on The CW on January 21, 2020.
After defeating the demon Mallus by cuddling him to death with a giant stuffed animal named Beebo, the Legends are ready to ease off the gas. Sara (Caity Lotz) and her team join Ava Sharpe (Jes Macallan) and the Time Bureau to help clean up the last few remaining anachronisms. The job seems straightforward enough until Constantine (Matt Ryan) arrives to inform them that, in solving one major problem, they have created another, much larger one. When the Legends let time crumble in order to release and defeat Mallus, the barrier between worlds softened. History is now infected with “Fugitives” – magical creatures from myths, fairytales, and legends. Having been expelled throughout time by people like Constantine, these Fugitives are now returning to our world in droves and making a real mess of things. As the Time Bureau is distrustful of and ill-equipped to deal with magic, the Legends must team up with everyone’s favorite demonologist to set history back on track. Sara and Constantine are joined by compassionate inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), hotheaded ex-con Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell), rebellious totem-bearer Zari (Tala Ashe), and heartbroken historian-turned-superhero Nate (Nick Zano) as they set out to save the world – and their legacy. It’s the familiar fun of the Legends time-travelling across historical events and encountering famous figures with an added shot of magical craziness! Based on the characters from DC, DC’S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti (“Arrow,” “The Flash,” “Supergirl”), Phil Klemmer (“The Tomorrow People,” “Chuck”) and Sarah Schechter (“Arrow,” “The Flash”).
The season was ordered in January 2019, and production began that July. Principal cast members Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Tala Ashe, Jes Macallan, Amy Louise Pemberton, Courtney Ford, Ramona Young, Nick Zano, Dominic Purcell and Matt Ryan return from previous seasons, while Olivia Swann was promoted to the principal cast from her guest status in season four.

Corey Cenateimpo is a certified Sleep Sense™ consultant and owner of Dreamweaver Sleep Consulting in Norwalk, CT. She’s mama to sweet 17-month-old Oliver and has some awesome tips for moms with tiny humans who aren’t sleeping.
The Sleep Sense™ Program was created by Dana Obelman, a renowned sleep expert who believes that healthy sleep habits make for healthy children. Research shows that a well-rested child is curious, energetic, happy, playful, and eager to learn. The Sleep Sense™ Program places the emphasis on accommodating different parenting styles, rather than focusing on one right or wrong sleep training method.
If your baby or toddler is having trouble sleeping through the night, the first thing you should know is, you’re not alone. Studies show that up to 30% of babies have sleep problems, and that 75% of parents would like to change their babies’ sleep habits.
The good news is that there are some quick and easy things you can do – starting tonight – to help your little one starting sleeping all through the night and taking long, restful naps during the day!
Corey created this report that will give you the tools to teach your little one the skills they need to fall asleep easily…and stay asleep all night!
1. Create a predictable bedtime routine
Whether your child has a room of their own Consistency and predictability are really important to babies and toddlers. When they know what to expect at bedtime, it makes it *much* easier for them to make the transition from waking to sleeping – and that’s why creating a bedtime routine is so important!
A good example of a bedtime routine might be something like this:
- 6:20 p.m. Bath time
- 6:35 p.m. Put on pyjamas
- 6:40 p.m. Nursing or bottle (NOTE: Do NOT let your child fall asleep while feeding!)
- 6:55 p.m. Story or songs
- 7:00 p.m. Into crib or bed
Your bedtime routine shouldn’t take more than about 45 minutes, and it’s VERY important that the routine is the same every single night. The repetition and predictability are what let your child know that he or she will soon be expected to fall asleep.
2. Choose an early bedtime
The best time to put your baby or toddler to bed is sometime between 6 and 8 o’clock in the evening. This ensures that your child will be able to get a solid 11-13 hours of sleep during the night. (And yes… that is how much sleep children should be getting every night up until the age of about 10.)
3. Put your child to sleep in the same place every night
Whether your child has a room of their own or shares a room with parents or siblings, it’s important that you put your son or daughter to sleep in the same place every night (and for naps during the day as much as possible.) Putting your child to bed in a familiar place lets them know they are safe and that they are in a place where sleep is expected of them.
4. Put your baby to bed AWAKE!
If you’ve been rocking, nursing, or otherwise soothing your baby to sleep, this is going to seem like a tough one… but it’s actually the most important step! It’s only by letting your baby fall asleep WITHOUT your help at bedtime that he or she can learn the skills necessary to stay asleep through the night.
5. If your baby wakes up during the night, wait a few minutes before intervening
Whether your child has a room of their own Everyone – babies and adults alike – will actually wake up several times every night. If a baby has been nursed or rocked to sleep at bedtime since birth, it’s not surprising that they wouldn’t know how to fall asleep independently. The good news is that many babies can figure out how to get back to sleep within just a few minutes of waking up in the night!
If your child continues to fuss or cry for more than a few minutes, you’ll want to go in and offer some comfort, but it’s important to let your child do the work of falling back to sleep. You can speak softly to your child and do some gentle rubbing or patting, but you should avoid picking your child up and rocking or nursing back to sleep.
If you’d like more information from Dreamweaver Sleep Consulting, email Corey at email@example.com or visit her website.

I'm selling a 2K2 Dragon Intimidator. This gun comes with a Shocktech bolt, adjustable ram cap, Storm trigger, WAS 2.6 board, and 14" chrome CP barrel. The gun has been tested and it is working well. There is some wear on the body, you can see a scratch in the eye of the dragon at the front of the gun, and there are a couple minor scuffs, but overall this Dragon is shiny and gorgeous.
I'm asking $265 shipped for this, and I'm only really looking to sell.

Moment #523. Chinese at Post Office. Mon, Feb 6, 2006.
02/06/2006. As I entered the Post Office to check my PO Box, I noticed an Asian-looking man waiting in the outer lobby. He appeared to be humble. I checked my box, and it included a Korean and a Chinese Liahona. I approached the man and asked if liked to read Chinese. He said yes. I asked if he was from China or Taiwan, and he said China. The Chinese Liahona is in traditional Chinese, not the Simplified Chinese used in mainland China. But I offered it to him anyway. He eagerly and gratefully accepted it.
I thought about offering him a Chinese and English Book of Mormon, but decided that the magazine was enough. I went back to my car and started to read some of my other mail, but felt a sense of urgency about giving him a Chinese Book of Mormon. I took a Simplified Chinese copy and an English copy of the Book of Mormon back in and presented them, and he graciously accepted them.

Happy Sock Sunday! Today, I started reading Two Naomis by Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich & Audrey Vernick. I was so excited to get this book. I’ve only read a little bit of it and I’m loving it. I’m so glad, I included this book as part of My Fall Reading List. I’m proud to say that so far, I have read 5 books from this list. I will be adding the reviews of those books this week so please stay tuned…
Other than their first names, Naomi Marie and Naomi Edith are sure they have nothing in common, and they wouldn’t mind keeping it that way.
Naomi Marie starts clubs at the library and adores being a big sister. Naomi Edith loves quiet Saturdays and hanging with her best friend in her backyard. And while Naomi Marie’s father lives a few blocks away, Naomi Edith wonders how she’s supposed to get through each day a whole country apart from her mother.
When Naomi Marie’s mom and Naomi Edith’s dad get serious about dating, each girl tries to cling to the life she knows and loves. Then their parents push them into attending a class together, where they might just have to find a way to work with each other—and maybe even join forces to find new ways to define family.

Spiral Hair Ties: Yes or No?
If you’re an Instagram junkie or a fashion aficionado, you may have heard of spiral hair ties. These plastic coils went from an obscure accessory to a hot new fashion trend seemingly overnight. But are spiral hair ties worth the hype?
Touted as a hair tie that holds up, won’t damage your hair and doesn’t cause headaches, spiral hair ties largely owe their share of attention to influencers and pop icons fueling the fad. Let’s examine spiral hair ties and what this trend really means for your hair and for the planet.
Plastic Spiral Hair Ties
Plastic spiral hair ties resemble old-school phone cords. Those who remember landline telephones from the ‘80s and ‘90s can likely conjure up an image of a slinky-like cord stretched within an inch of its life. Plastic spiral cords have since made various appearances in the cute-kitsch fashion motif, appearing on teenage arms as colorful bracelets and on keyrings as lanyards.
When it comes to our hair, however, those springy coils become a death trap. Badly tangled hair can lead to devastating breakage. This is especially prone to happen if plastic spiral hair ties are used to secure hair in active settings, like for a gym workout or a volleyball match.
Spiral hair ties are also largely made out of plastic, which is bad for your wallet, your hair and the environment. With repeated use, plastic spiral hair ties lose their elasticity. This means you’ll be tempted to add more loops for a tighter grip, which can crease and break your hair beyond repair. Of course, this also means spiral hair ties have a shorter lifespan and will need to be replaced frequently.
Spiral Hair Tie Origin
Spiral hair ties have been around for nearly a decade, though they’ve only recently made the rounds on social media, sparking the trend. The idea initially came from a business student in the UK who, in preparation for a “bad taste” party, unclipped the coiled phone cord from the emergency phone in her dorm and put it in her hair.
How to Use Spiral Hair Ties
Spiral hair ties work in a similar way to elastic hair ties. The spiral tie is looped around hair as many times as necessary to secure a ponytail or bun. Unfortunately, spiral hair ties don’t offer much in the way of flexibility when it comes to hair type, length and thickness.
Creaseless Spiral Hair Ties
Creaseless spiral hair ties claim to solve the dreaded ponytail crease or bump that gets left behind when you let your hair down. If that sounds too good to be true, it’s because unfortunately, it is. Spiral hair ties still leave behind a noticeable crease, despite claiming otherwise.
Spiral Spin Screw Hair Tie
A spiral spin screw hair tie is a two-pronged hair pin that’s shaped like a corkscrew. These pins are twisted into the hair to secure it in place. Spiral spin screw hair ties don’t work for all hair types. They can be quite uncomfortable, and, as they’re essentially a piece of metal being twisted into your hair, they can cause breakage.
No Tangle Spiral Hair Tie
While spiral hair ties claim not to tangle hair, this often isn’t the case. Spiral hair ties aren’t suitable for all hair types. Fine hair that is prone to breakage can still easily get tangled in the coils of a no tangle spiral hair tie.
No Crease Hair Ties
Scrunchies, ribbons and spiral hair ties are all considered no crease hair ties. Unfortunately, hair that’s been secured for an extended period of time will often still show a crease when taken down. These options are also less versatile across applications, and when it comes to intense athletic activities, they simply don’t hold up.
Are Spiral Hair Ties Better?
No. They are not. While spiral hair ties tout features many of us want in a hair tie, these claims often simply aren’t true. Spiral hair ties may work better on some hair types than others, but they lack the versatility to make them a safe and effective option for all. Aside from still creasing your hair, causing tangles and breakage and losing elasticity over time, plastic spiral hair ties aren’t an eco-friendly, sustainable option either.
Even the Best Spiral Hair Ties Do Some Damage
Not all spiral hair ties are made equal, but even the best ones can still damage your hair. The coiled shape intrinsically makes this type of hair tie prone to getting hair caught between coils, resulting in tangles, breakage and split ends.
Phone Cord Hair Ties: Just Trending or Actually Tragic?
Phone cord hair ties may be trending, but they spell tragedy for your hair. Ditch the plastic spirals for a hair tie that works in every setting, no matter your hair type.
TIY hair ties were developed by a pro volleyball player with athletes in mind. TIY products are fully customizable to work for any hair length, type and texture. Simply unravel the length you want, cut and tie a loop that works for you. Made with a high-quality elastomer core, your TIY hair tie will keep your hair in place, damage-free, no matter what.

I got the Cruiser (right) a couple years ago as a birthday gift from Summer, who sells them at her eco-boutique, BTC Elements. Since then, the purse has gotten me lots of compliments — especially at Green Drinks. My camera, purse and phone fit snugly into the Cruiser, making it the perfect size for a blogger on the go.
There are a couple things I think could be improved about the Cruiser, however. For one, the purse can leave faint black tire marks on white clothes! Luckily, my closet looks like that of a witch — almost everything’s black — and my eco-friendly dry cleaner easily got the purse stains out of my white trench. Still, those who tend to dress like a new bride should be warned.
I also find the one-snap closure a tad inadequate, since stuff can slip out the top — I once broke a brand new Gabrielle powder compact this way. That made me more careful, so I’ve avoided mishaps since….
Many English Retreads’ purses have closed tops though. Pick from a bunch of different styles and sizes, from laptop bags to clutches to wallets. You can get recycled belts, dog collars, and key ring attachments too. All of English Retreads’ products are made in Boulder, Colorado.

It’s time for the Fun Kids Science Weekly, the weekly podcast that opens your minds to the most amazing things in the universe!
Scientists Gertrud and Angela join us this week to discuss their study on how Dolphins are using their own skincare in coral reefs and we answer your questions on why drinking glasses make music and what actually happens in a black hole!
A dangerous stink is the subject of Dangerous Dan and we catch up with Professor Hallux and Nurse Nanobot, and the smartest school in the universe, Deep Space High!
In Science in the News we stay up to the date with all the latest science stories including what secrets have been unearthed in Pompeii and what plastic is doing to some nasty bacteria!
Here’s the episode below:
Dan: Ahoy, there. Welcome along to a brand new episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly this is the smartest show in the universe and my name is Dan. Thank you for joining me on this journey of discovery. As we fly around the galaxy, searching out some of the science secrets that are lurking within. This week, you can hear how Dolphins keep themselves looking so young, smooth, supple and carefree with experts Gertrude Morlock and Angela Ziltner.
Gertrude: And Angela discovered in the ocean something very special.
Angela: I was observing Dolphins which were rubbing on a gorgonian coral and it was very unique because these Dolphins were actually waiting on a line to slide over.
Dan: Also, we’ll take a trip to the smartest school in the solar system, head to Deep Space High to take a lesson from Professor Pulsar all about magnetic fields.
Sam: It’s just one of those weird invisible things like gravity, isn’t it?
Professor Pulsar: Come with me. Welcome to Norway and the Aurora Borealis, the Northern lights.
Dan: And I’ve got your questions to answer, as always. This week they are on glasses making noises and black holes. Very strong, that one. There’s all that and loads more in a brand new Fun Kids Science Weekly.
Science in the News: Secrets of Pompeii, Bad bacteria on plastic waste, and Earth warming by 1.5 degrees?
Dan: Let’s start things off with this week’s Science in the News. Experts have found that some of the secrets of the people of Pompeii. Have you heard about Pompeii, the volcano that erupted in 79 AD almost 2000 years ago? It caused this huge eruption and it completely covered a city in ash. It disappeared forever, pretty much. But they found some bones and they were thought to be buried in this ash and that the people who had the bones didn’t run away. Scientists have figured out they might be sick before, which meant they couldn’t leave.
Also, experts have found that bad bacteria lasts longer on plastic waste. So things like E. Coli, which can give you stomach bugs and much worse, have been found washed up on beaches. And they’re still infectious and harmful to humans when they’re on plastic.
And also it’s likely that we will exceed the temperatures aimed at for the world to try and save us. There’s just over a 50/50 chance that the world will warm by 1.5 degrees in the next five years. This is climate change in action, which is causing nasty global warming.
Professor Hallux’s Map of Medicine – Episode 18: Hearts and Hospital Consultants
Dan: Let’s catch up with Professor Hallux then. This is from his Map of Medicine series that we’ve been looking at, listening to and loving for the last few months. He and Nurse Nanobot, his mate and sidekick, have been taking us through your body, why you feel ill sometimes, what’s going wrong and who gets you better and what medicine they use. This week they’re looking at hospital consultants, who they are, what they do, and also all about a special heart condition.
Nurse: Where’s this puddle coming from? Uh-oh…looks like we’ve sprung a leak Professor!
Professor: Well, that’s unexpected. I fixed that pipe just this morning. I’m an expert at DIY, normally.
Nurse: You fixed it?! What did you fix it with? Not those old sticky plasters.
Professor: As if I’d used sticky plasters to fix. Well, yes, it was, as it happens.
Nurse: Oh no, we’re up to our knees in water. You’re not an expert in DIY, Professor. Experts do things properly. You should stick to what you’re good at. Like answering medical questions. Let’s open the video phone.
Professor: Fair point, nurse.
Patient: Hi. My little sister’s going into hospital so the surgeons can fix something called atrial septal defects, whatever that is. She’s under the care of a consultant. Is that something to do with sultanas? What’s it like to stay in hospital? It all sounds pretty grown up and a bit scary.
Professor: Well, staying in hospital certainly isn’t as scary as Halloween or zombies, but being poorly and having an operation can seem scary. Let’s see if we can help with your questions. Can you give us the clinical crunch, nurse, whilst I load up my map of medicine? I have some caulking good stuff about consultants in there.
Nurse: Of course, atrial septal defects, or ASD, and which is also known as a hole in the heart, are fairly common. One child in every 1,500 born will have the condition. Here’s what happens. Your heart has four chambers, like four rooms with special doors called valves that separate each of the rooms. Now, these valves are very clever. They only open one way.
Professor: A bit like when you’re in a public toilet cubicle. I hate it when the lock is broken and it swings in and I have to use my foot to hold it shut.
Nurse: Will you put a sock in it about the toilets?! Right, where were we? The valves make sure that blood travels to your organs in the right direction, at the right speed and pressure from the heart to the body, back to the heart and then to the lungs. An ASD is when there’s a hole in the wall between two of the rooms. This causes blood to leak in the wrong direction, which can make you seriously ill and cause you to get extremely tired, even if you haven’t been running about.
Professor: Now, some ASDs are so small that they don’t need to be treated at all. Others need some medicine to reduce the strain on the heart. But if the hole is causing a problem, then surgery is often performed. Open heart surgery is the most common type. And this is where the surgeon makes a cut in the chest to access the heart and closes the septal defect, sealing it with a synthetic patch.
Nurse: And I promise you that the patch a surgeon uses is nothing like the Professor’s terrible DIY with those manky old plasters. Some patches are made from Goretex, which has the same hight ech material that spacesuits are made of.
Professor: Right, let’s get the low down on hospitals and consultants. It’s all in the map of medicine, a mine of information about medical people and places.
So your little sister has to go into hospital for an operation. Hospitals are great at helping children settle in. She’ll be given a special bed, usually in a ward with other kids, so she won’t be lonely. A ward is a big room where patients wait for their operations and then recover afterwards. Now, our caller was interested in knowing about the consultants. A consultant is a senior doctor who has completed all their specialist training and has been placed on the special register in their chosen speciality. Some are expert in stomachs. Some are immensely good at hearts, some superb eye complaints. Some are outstanding at playing ping pong in their spare time, not their job. Basically, they are about as clever as doctors can get in their chosen field. They’re like the grand high wizards and wizardesses of the medical world. Okay, maybe not quite like grand high wizards, but they’re experts. When people say that a patient is under the care of a consultant, it means this super clever doctor is in charge of what treatment they get. To be a consultant takes many years of studying and practising medicine in University and in hospitals. And you thought it was bad just going to school for a few measly hours?
Nurse: Have we got time for a disgusting detail, Prof?
Professor: Of course!
Nurse: If you have a stay in a hospital, you may be sharing a Ward with other people. But count yourself lucky that you don’t have to share a bed. 200 years ago, as many as five people would have to squeeze onto one dirty old mattress. And in a French hospital called Hotel Jer, they’d even stack them on top of the four poster beds, too. Room on top! And as well as sharing a pillow, you’d be sharing all sorts of diseases like cholera, typhus and even fleas.
Professor: Ew! I’m all itchy now. Time for us to go. But before you join us again, why not explore the Map of Medicine for yourself?
Answering Your Questions: Why do some drinking glasses make a noise when you move your finger around the rim of them? And What’s a black hole and what happens when you go in it?
Dan: Let’s get to your questions then. If there’s something sciencey rallying around your brain that you really need answered, let’s leave it to me ,really easy. Let me do the digging for you. Just send it as a review for this podcast over on Apple. I will see it and I’ll do all the work. I’ll save you the trouble and the hassle.
The first one this week comes in from Beth, who is in Geneva, who wants to know why do some drinking glasses make a noise when you move your finger around the rim of them? Have you seen this? Give it a go right now. If you can, you can pause the podcast. You get your glass out and you fill it with water, then dip it, the tip of your finger in, make it a little bit wet. And then if you run your finger around the top of it, it will harm, it will whistle, it will sing and make a noise.
It does this, Beth, because sound is made by air vibrating. Now, when you run your finger around the rim of a glass, you are vibrating that glass, and that moves the air, that moving air then makes a sound. Now, what’s amazing is when you change the amount of liquid that is in the glass, you’re also altering the amount of air that’s there. And that changes how much of it vibrates and changes the pitch of the sound, whether it’s a higher or lower note. So if you get different glasses with different amounts of water in there, you can play tunes, you can play full songs. Thank you, Beth.
This one is from Mateus, who is in Bermuda. Who wants to know what’s a black hole and what happens when you go in it? Well, no one really knows properly, officially, Mateus, because they’re quite far away and we can’t get close enough to them without being sucked in them to test it out, to find out what’s going on.
But here’s what scientists think happen. When a star dies, sometimes it will collapse in on itself. It’ll almost swallow itself. And because stars are huge, that’s a lot of gravity that’s almost disappearing. And it becomes a black hole. The gravity becomes so strong, everything is sucked into it and becomes nothing. Not even light can escape a black hole. And if an atom goes into it, one single atom, anything, it will be shrunk down to something so small that it becomes a speck, a thin wormy line called a singularity.
Now, that’s what a black hole is, Mateus. But what they do, where you go to, whether you can travel through dimensions and through the multiverse, we don’t quite know yet. But thank you for the question. And if there’s something you would like answered on this show next week, find the Fun Kids Science Weekly on Apple podcast and leave it as a review.
Interview with Gerda (Gertrude) Morlock and Angela Zilton
Dan: It’s the Fun Kids Science Weekly. Now, when Dolphins have a rash or maybe get a grubby skin infection, experts think that they’re using different parts of the ocean to help them get better. We’ll find out more. A study has been published by Gerda (Gertrude) Morlock and Angela Zilton, who can tell us more. Ladies, thank you so much for being there.
Both: You’re welcome. Hello, everyone.
Dan: Well, listen, where did you get the first idea for this study, Gerda, that maybe something might be happening with Dolphins and coral?
Gerda: Yeah, so we are looking for miracle compounds, active compounds since a decade. And Angela discovered in the ocean something very special.
Angela: I was observing Dolphins which were robbing on a gorgonian coral. And it was very unique because these Dolphins were actually waiting on a line to slide over the gorgonian coral, which is a soft coral. And they repeated it again and again. And we were wondering, wow, what’s happening here? Why do they do this? Is there a link between the coral and the Dolphins? And we also saw that Dolphins also were robbing on sponges and also another coral, a species called leather coral. So we wanted to see what is going on. Why do they it’s just fun or is it, what is it? So we needed to find out this big secret.
Dan: Gerda, what’s more surprising is it that Dolphins are doing this, that they are rubbing on the coral to get better or that the coral has some healing property?
Gerda: Both is perfect and it’s made, of course, by nature, so it is perfect. So the corals and the sponges, they produce a lot of active compounds because they cannot run away in the ocean. So they must defend themselves by producing chemicals. And also the Dolphins are very intelligent. So they use these compounds for skin care. They have no hands, they have no arms. How could they cream their skin otherwise? Right, so they need something like a coral or a sponge where they can go and get their cosmetics or their treatment.
Dan: Angela, how do other Dolphins know about this? Is this something that the Dolphins are talking amongst themselves saying, well, look, if you’ve got a little itch go down to that bit of coral or is it just something that Dolphins instantly know?
Angela: It’s actually what we were observing is that the babies are not doing this behaviour. So the babies are watching the adults, how they rub on the gorgonian coral and the sponge. They are just observing for quite a long time. The first baby we observed was over one year and it looks really funny.
For example, when they go or slide over a gorgonian coral because they look that the fluke, the tail is not touching the branches of the gorgonian coral and also the flippers, the pector fins on the side, they also are out. So it’s kind of a strange feeling for them, so they need to learn it. We say this, it’s social learning and it also can be that the adults, because they are used to do it, it might be very good for their skin. They also give this knowledge father to the next generation, to the next babies, to the calfs. So what we have seen, it’s a learned behaviour and it’s also very interesting because the Dolphins are really picky in choosing the coral.
So they really go for this certain kind of species of gorgonian coral, for example. And they also are very aware which body part is it, the head or the flippers or the tail or the belly or the back to put into this other marine organism. So we really think that this is a social, learned behaviour and the knowledge can be transmitted to the next Dolphins, the next generations.
Dan: Gerda, we’ve just discovered this. How long do we think maybe this shared knowledge has passed through Dolphins? Is this something that might be thousands of years old? This trick.
Gerda: Most likely we don’t know, because those Dolphins do not talk to us. So first, the analytical chemistry part. This chemical investigation found it out that there could be, at least we think so, that there is a connection.
Dan: How might this change what we think about cosmetics and about skin cream? Do you think knowing that this coral is in the ocean and it makes it all by itself, do you think this might change how we medicate ourselves?
Gerda: So the bioactive compounds are located in the corals and sponges. They are rich in these compounds. And we both would say, let it be for the Dolphins, for their beauty, for their medical or however treatment. So let these compounds chemicals be active for the Dolphins.
Dan: Amazing. It’s been such a real, real treat to chat to you. I really enjoyed it. Angela Zilton, Gerda Morlock, thank you so much for being there.
Dangerous Dan: Thioacetone
Dan: It’s time for this week’s Dangerous Dan, where we look at the most mean things in the universe. This week, we’re looking at the world’s most stinking chemical. It’s called thioacetone. Now, its chemical symbol is Ch32CS. And it’s incredibly hard to make it’s only in a liquid form when it’s very cold. When you’re at -20 degrees, then it will be liquid. Anything over that, it hardens into a solid.
Doesn’t matter what state of matter this chemical is though, it absolutely reeks in any form. Experts have compared it to the smell of some evil spirit. That’s what they say. It’s something like sulphur. You might smell that sometimes, that horrid rotten egg smell that you sometimes get coming up through the pipes. Only this one, Thioacetone, is so much worse.
So bad, check this out, chemical factory once tried to make the chemical in the 1800s. Some got out and it was smelled half a kilometre away. It made people faint and be sick. The whole town had to be evacuated because people were running away, because the smell was so putrid.
If that wasn’t worse, they tried it again. In 1967, a factory near Oxford in the UK tried it. Only a bottle got uncorked and again, people were sick and they started fainting because this chemical, this pungent, putrid thioacetone, is so stinking and because it’s so bad. Come on, it needs to go straight onto our Dangerous Dan list.
Deep Space High: Earth Watch – Magnetic Fields
Dan: It’s time now to check in to the smartest school in the solar system. We’re headed to Deep Space High every week at the moment with episodes from our Earth Watch series that you can catch up on the free Fun kids app. This week, Professor Pulsar and Sam, they’re finding out all about the Earth’s magnetic field and how it’s different to other planets.
Professor Pulsar: Got your scalextric out again. I bet you don’t know how those cars stick to the track.
Sam: Of course I do. It’s magnets. Loads of toys have magnets, don’t they?
Professor Pulsar: Certainly do, but magnets are a serious business. Did you know there’s a massive magnetic field around the Earth.
Sam: Um, yeah…the top of the field is near the North Pole isn’t it?
Professor Pulsar: Which is why all magnets point north. It’s cooler than that, though. A planet’s magnetic field forms a shield protecting its surface from tiny, energetic charged particles coming from the sun and other places.
Sam: Cool, sounds like something a superhero would have. Never fear Earthlings, I have my magnetic shield!
Professor Pulsar: Exactly. The sun is constantly sending particles out they call solar wind. But when they hit the magnetic field, they’re deflected. You can see the effect for yourself.
Sam: How can you see solar winds? It’s just one of those weird invisible things like gravity isn’t it?
Professor Pulsar: Come with me. Welcome to Norway and the Aurora Borealis, the Northern lights. These shimmering light displays are made by particles from the solar wind Hitting the molecules High up in Earth’s atmosphere. Sometimes they look like waves, Other times like spikes, and they come in all sorts of colours.
Sam: Wow. Beautiful Greens and Blues, but if a planet doesn’t have a magnetic field, what happens?
Professor Pulsar: Well, they’ll have to find some other way to take things to the fridges. The biggest benefit of magnetism is life on a planet. Solar wind damages living things you see. Can you remember what causes a magnetic field in the first place?
Sam: Yes! It’s the core of the planet, isn’t it?
Professor Pulsar: Deep inside the Earth’s core, hot iron floors generate an electrical current, and this, in turn, generates magnetism.
Sam: So if the planet has a magnetic field, we know it has a moving iron core.
Professor Pulsar: Exactly. Or we can say that it’s certainly very likely. It’s tricky, though, Because it has to be hot enough, big enough, and flowing enough to create a magnetic field. The flow is faster. If a planet is spinning more quickly, Slow planets don’t build up enough speed for their own shield.
Venus doesn’t have a magnetic field. Even though we know it’s got a warm core, it’s just too slow. One day on Venus is over 200 days on Earth.
Mars is another planet that has a very weak magnetic field. It’s spinning fast enough, but its core is thought to be solid. Nothing flowing there, so…
Sam: There’s no magnetic field! So none of the planets have magnetic fields like us.
Professor Pulsar: Hey, I didn’t say that Jupiter has a huge magnetic field, not least because of its size. And it spins super fast. One day is just 10 hours.
Sam: Hey, I’ve got a great joke about Jupiter. Knock Knock.
Professor Pulsar: Who’s there?
Professor Pulsar: Jupiter who?
Sam: Jupiter hurry up or you’ll miss the bus!
Professor Pulsar: I think that’s your worst one yet.Add a comment

Did you know today is World Penguin Day? To help celebrate one of my favorite companies in the world Stonyfield Farms is partnering with AZA accredited zoo’s and aquariums and sponsoring AZA SAFE (Saving Animals from Extinction) program. The mission is to help save endangered species by contributing funds to field work but aiming to drive kids and their families to see animals and conservation projects first hand at zoos and aquariums. Stonyfield YoKids sponsorship of AZA SAFE will support conservation efforts for 10 endangered species including the beloved African Penguin.
How can you easily help keep the most endangered animals on the planet safe? Well, let me tell you!
- Head to your local AZA Accredited Zoo or Aquarium to see these endangered animals face to face and see what programs they provide to encourage local involvement.
- Can’t get to a AZA zoo or aquarium right away? No problem you can encourage awareness through these fun games and activities.
- Kids see the world differently that can inspire us all to make a real difference. Share yours and your kid’s stories to help inspire others to help save endangered animals using the hashtag #imaginehow
- When you purchase two specially marked Stonyfield Organic YoKids mulitpacks, you can get a FREE ticket with a purchase of 1 adult ticket.
So besides being the organic yogurt maker, Stonyfield has also focused on conservation and sustainability for years. Did you know that each year Stonyfield keeps over 185,000 pounds of toxic pesticides out of the environment which help safeguard species and their eco-systems. We can now add saving endangered animals to their resume.
So the next time you are at the grocery thinking about which yogurt to buy your kids pick up Stonyfield and feel good that you are not only feeding your children something healthy but supporting a great cause in the process.
As a Stonyfield Ambassador I received some form of compensation in exchange for this post. Compensation received does not impact the thoughts and opinions expressed at O’Boy! Organic

Despite the recession, the natural and organic pet products industry is holding its own. Sales are growing in every category—from food, supplements and personal care to treats, leashes and litter.
In the animal world, all things natural are thriving. Sales of natural and organic pet food and products grew 6 percent in 2009, according to David Lummis, senior pet market analyst at Rockville, Md., research firm Packaged Facts, bringing natural pet-food sales totals up to $1.5 billion in 2009 and natural pet supplies to $359 million. Sales of all pet products totaled $53 billion in 2009, an increase of 5 percent over 2008.
And that natural cat litter? It accounted for approximately 60 percent of natural and organic non-food pet supply sales in 2009, followed by pet-health products at 30 percent and all other pet supplies at 10 percent, according to Packaged Facts.
Last year was also a record year for new pet products, with 102 natural launches, up from 65 in 2008, Packaged Facts’ research shows.
Particular pets, observant owners
Pet owners are looking for the same reassurances in their pets’ products as they do in their own, according to Lummis. That means no chemicals, antibiotics or growth hormones. It also means high-quality ingredients, animal protein and no grain filler. Packaged Facts reports that product labels containing the terms “chemical free,” “pesticide free,” “organic,” “biodegradable,” “fresh,” “nontoxic” and “pure” did extremely well in 2009.
“Pet owners are definitely becoming more sophisticated,” Lummis says. “They’re looking for high-grade natural products, [along with] transparency, ingredient sourcing and communication of those benefits.”
Chanda Leary-Coutu, marketing communications manager at WellPet, the Tewksbury, Mass.-based manufacturer of Wellness, Old Mother Hubbard, Eagle Pack and Holistic Select pet food brands, says owners are “searching for pet foods that include functional ingredients with therapeutic properties—like omega-3 and omega-7 fatty acids or live micro-organisms.”
Stephanie Volo, president of the 13-year-old natural pet food and supplies manufacturer Planet Dog, based in Portland, Maine, said the growing demand for natural products is due in part to consumers who are “more educated, savvy and aware.”
Service for success
These savvy consumers want manufacturers and retailers to be more service oriented, according to Volo and other small independent retailers like Ron Briggs and his wife, Leigh, who have sold natural pet products at their Crown Hill Pet Supply store in Seattle for 18 years.
“We try to deal with each customer on a personal basis,” listening to what the customer’s pet needs are and what problems the pet might have before recommending a particular food, Briggs says.
Quality over market share
Large mass-market companies such as Procter & Gamble, which bought Natura Pet Products’ line of brands—including Innova, Evo, California Natural, Healthwise, Mother Nature and Karma—in May, are making inroads into the natural and organic pet market. At the same time, however, “there is a migration back to [smaller, natural and organic] pet specialty manufacturers,” Lummis says. “It’s on those companies to be very clear about what makes them unique: service and information.”
That’s the message of large established companies such as WellPet, as well as smaller companies like Planet Dog and Zuke’s Dog Treats in Durango, Colo.
Grant Berry, national sales manager for Zuke’s, sees his company’s niche as offering high-quality ingredients at a medium price, and apparently, it’s working. The company, founded in the mid-1990s, posted growth of 28 percent in 2009. But for 2010, rather than focus on launching new products, Berry says Zuke’s will concentrate on growing its brand and “trying to support our retailers.”
Retailers, in turn, are embracing the higher costs and increased benefits of quality products. Hollus Gessler, owner of Wigglyville pet boutique in Chicago, for example, hates the word premium.
“The reason high-quality natural food is more expensive is because it’s animal protein. Meat-based protein is going to be more expensive,” she says.

The lights kept flickering. Outdoors the winds howled, occasionally whistling down through the chimney where they rattled the fireplace damper. Occasionally we lost sight of our neighbor’s house through the trees . . .
This sounds a lot like “It was a dark and stormy night . . .” doesn’t it. ;-D
These frozen snow-glob critters appeared on our screen during the first winter blow this past December, clinging like leeches and daring my imagination to come out and play. The minute I noticed them I knew what I was seeing.
Pictographs like the kind discovered on the walls of the ancient cave dwellers.
Do you see the large buffalo butting heads with a smaller one on the screen? (I admit he was the first I picked out.) There are furry mammoths and brontosauruses as well. What else can you pick out?
The thing I love about stormy snow days—and as evidenced out on the Facebook postings—is that people use these days to back away from regular life. They stay in and take overdue naps or make hot chocolate, clean closets, wrap gifts, bake—and indulge in the much ignored activity of getting quiet while they step away from the everyday jungle.
I’m always in favor of humanity being afforded the opportunity for stepping down for a while.
You can’t pick up a health magazine or newspaper today, but that experts—even the ol’ “we’ve got a pill for that” Western medicine docs (finally)—are spouting the advantages of slowing down, disconnecting and getting quiet once in a while for improved mental and physical health.
We don’t do it enough, even though we know we should. It takes a ravaging storm such as a blizzard, a devastating disease or the death of a loved one to bring us around.
We always need the reminder every now and then to say to ourselves: yeah, today I’m going to step back and do something a little different; maybe something lighter—more fun—more unusual.
When the winds howl and the snow flies, my fingers itch until I pull out the laptop, park my rear on the sofa and free write until I’m tired of it.
Healing days. That’s what such days are.
Mother Nature has my eternal gratitude for sending raging, vicious snow storms every once in a while.

You must know how much I LOVE spending the day at Momma Gena and GrandDanny's house. I have my routine down from the moment I walk in the door to the moment I leave! As soon as I get there, I instantly must check on both Momma Gena and GrandDanny. Then I must go outside to check out my backyard. There are rumors floating around the 'hood that their are either wild cats or bob cats in the woods, so I must check to see if they have entered my yard.
I walk out the door into the screened porch, out onto the patio and into the yard. I walk in the same path every time. I have walked my "trail" so much that I have made a path of my walk way. Mommy sings "Happy Trails To You" as Momma Gena and GrandDanny fuss at me for the path in the grass.
I am so programed! There is no changing me. I enter the backyard at least 100 times while I am their house. The rest of the time is spent either in Momma Gena's lap, sunning on the the front bed or begging for a W-A-L-K.
As soon as Mommy or Daddy get there, I give my kisses and have a mini- "MD". I go outside then back in and straight to my food bowl. I always tump my food bowl over so that all of the food goes everywhere. I do make a mess, but I usually always clean it up. I always begin to eat as soon as I realize that it is time to go home. Literally... there have been times that Mommy is packing up Noah and I begin to eat. Once I begin to eat, Daddy sits back down. I leisurely take my time eating and then must again check out my back yard.
I love spending days at Momma Gena and GrandDanny's house. I prefer Noah not to be with me while I am there because he messes up my valuable lap time.
So, "Happy Trails, To You!!!"
And that's just the dog's life!

Between 2006 and 2016, child stunting had been reduced and there was stability in the number of children overweight. However, the data from 2016 and 2021 shows a deteriorating picture.
Findings from the ‘Changes in Child Undernutrition and Overweight in India From 2006 to 2021: An Ecological Analysis of 36 States’ study show that from 2006 to 2021, the prevalence of stunting, underweight, and wasting decreased by 12.3%, 10.3% and 0.7% respectively, while the prevalence of overweight increased by 1.9%.
But when assessing the annualised rate of change in stunting during the two periods, the number was lower from 2016 to 2021 compared with 2006 to 2016 (-0.6% versus -0.9%).
Furthermore, nearly 15% of districts surveyed experienced a rise in stunting of 5% or more.
There was no significant difference in the numbers of underweight, but the improvements in child wasting also slowed between 2016 and 2021.
This reflects a long-standing lack of access to diets required for optimal growth. However, it should be noted that wasting is sensitive to infectious disease and food availability in different seasons.
Authors of the study analysed data derived from three rounds of National Family Health Surveys (NFHS) conducted in 36 states and 640 districts from 2005 to 2006, 2015 to 2016, and 2019 to 2021.
Changes in growth outcomes, including stunting, undernutrition, wasting and overweight, among children under five years were evaluated against changes in human development indicators, such as women’s literacy, sanitation, and households with electricity.
Stepping up of efforts crucial to child nutrition
The improvements recorded in these human development indicators predicted large reductions in stunting and underweight, so the findings have sounded alarm bells about nutrition-sensitive child health outcomes.
“Specifically, the bivariate decomposition analysis predicted moderate to large declines in population-level stunting and wasting based on the rise in favourable development indicators. Our analyses showed that these predicted reductions in undernutrition did not occur. Moreover, overweight is rising at a rate that is greater than what would be expected by improvements in human development observed in the past five years,” said the authors.
During the data collection period from 2019 to 2021, India’s economy suffered a downturn resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and nationwide lockdowns, which put a halt on numerous national nutrition programmes and may have contributed to higher undernutrition rates.
On the other hand, the rapid rise in overweight children presents another problem. According to cohort studies in low- and middle-income countries, childhood obesity often persists into adulthood, with elevated risks of diabetes and cardiovascular disease as well as higher medical costs.
The researchers also found that the annualised rate of change in overweight was higher at the national level from 2016 to 2021 (0.3%) compared with 2006 to 2016 (0.1%). Most districts (72%) experienced an increase in overweight during the past five years.
“South Asians as a group are at higher risk for cardiometabolic disorders at earlier ages and lower body mass index (BMI). Even in children aged five to 19 years, metabolic abnormalities, such as high triglycerides, are present at all levels of weight status, with progressively higher levels of metabolic morbidities with increasing BMI-for-age,” the authors said.
In the face of mounting food insecurity and financial distress, the prevalence of child stunting and wasting in South Asia alone could double this year.
As such, attention to child nutrition, including careful investigation of the pandemic’s impact on nutritional indicators, targeted monitoring of child health outcomes and development of strategies tailored to the local population, will be of paramount importance in the coming years, the authors concluded.

Installing Wall/Paper II went smoothly with the help of Noé Jimenez, George, and Dylan, a student at Westover. It was vacation week but Dylan was helping out and they was incredibly professional. Plus a lot of fun to work with. That’s Dylan adding paper to the wall and George and Noé on the 16′ ladder stapling the snow fence to the wall.
The install was on Thursday, March 15 and on Monday, March 19, I met with two groups of students for Diversity Day. It was an amazing experience. They helped me set up the Detritus on Bank installation and they had incredible ideas. I came away from the experience with some of my own new ideas thanks to their enthusiasm.
I want to thank Caleb Portfolio and Allison Hildebrand, co-directors of the gallery, for inviting me and for making every step an easy and fun experience.
The show will be up until May 20. If anyone wants to visit the gallery, contact me for information about visiting or just go to the main entrance at Westover and tell them you want to see the show.

we were talking about this on another thread and i think it deserves one of it's own. anyway, the coolest fight ever imho would be team pual mitchel vs team fairtex with the biejing wushu team thrown in. what do you guys think some possible outcomes would be?
runaway runaway.....team paul mitchell
fly away fly away....biejing wushu team
Two guys walk into a bar....ouch that's gotta hurt.
I think it would be along the lines of limp away, be dragged away, be carried away (by six)...
<Me> John, what do you know about Zen Buddhism? <John> *smacks me*
<John> I'd have to smack you sometime...
you guys are wrong, the wushu guys would have a weapons battle with guys from pual mitchel, the sanda guys would fight team fairtex, and the rest of team pm would run around slapping people.

i've clearly fallen way behind in my blogging responsibilities. last weekend we stayed with old friends in baltimore (after a friday night macaroni grill feast with ellen's parents, ellen, david, and the mom and dad of miles's best friend, bert). above you can see a scene from the fabulous play written and performed by boo, bean, ava and olivia (those are pseudonyms, or more precisely, noms de plume).
the play was a mystery entitled "got murder?" boo played the role of the carnivorous football fan mr. boone. bean and ava were the bohemian vegans, jonathan and jeannette. i made the mistake of not photographing olivia, who played the pivotal role of detective diana twain, who turned out to be the murderer!
in addition to performing this fabulous play, the four of them also prepared dinner for the h's and me (we would be their respective parents, minus my m), creating their traditional restaurant complete with menus, candlelight, and mood music.
we went to the american visionary arts museum on sunday and took a brief trip to fell's point, where i snuck over to check out the daily grind, our favorite baltimore coffee spot when we lived there, and an excellent place for homicide celebrity spotting. it's changed almost completely in the last several years (even the baristas don't look the same as they always used to), but it was still fun to go there. the museum was amazing -- i want to take everyone i know back there to see it. my favorite exhibit was a room full of dolls made of brown pipe cleaners, each one dressed differently in hand sewn barbie-esque outfits, some made of fabric and others of candy wrappers and things like that. there was one polka-dotted skirt made out of a wonder bread wrapper. there were probably hundreds of them!

Imagine a mother and her child in a severe famine, with just enough food for one last meal. Now imagine Elijah saying, ‘Share with me what you’ve got. Don’t be afraid; God will make sure you’ve more than enough to see you through.’ What would you have done in that situation? This woman chose to have faith and obey God. As a result, she survived the famine, and Jesus even mentioned her in one of His sermons. When we’re looking at giving to God, there are basically two kinds of givers: those who give God their ‘leftovers’, and those who give Him their ‘firstfruits’ (take a look at Proverbs 3:9). The first type of givers see themselves as responsible for meeting their own needs, so they look after themselves first and then give what’s left over to God’s work. But the problem with giving their leftovers is that as soon as they face uncertainty, especially if it affects their finances, they forget to be generous. They make themselves the priority. On the other hand, people who give God their firstfruits understand that He’s the source of everything they have. They prioritise giving to Him before they see to their own interests. They believe that what we reap is always greater than what we sow (have a read of 2 Corinthians 9:6-11). The people in the first group act through fear – they fear they won’t have enough, or that God won’t come through for them, so they need to protect themselves – whereas the people in the second group are motivated by faith – they have faith and confidence that God will care and provide for them. Paul wrote: ‘My God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus’ (Philippians 4:19 NIV). So when God asks us to give something, let’s be generous, and have confidence that He’ll reward our faith.
Next time you receive some money, try giving some of it to God’s kingdom first, before you think about spending it on yourself.

Does It Always Have To Be So Complicated?
Is there a blogging community out there for people who are prone to lost luggage? If so, please contact me directly.
It happens every time! But at least from experience I have learned to pack nearly everything I could need in my carry on (as much as the small local plane size allowance with let me).
Our flight from Houston to Villahermosa was supposed to be direct, given the single boarding pass and the destination city listed on our boarding pass, "Villahermosa". Yesterday our team landed in Mexico City in what we thought would be a routine passenger drop off-pick up. However, we were mysteriously asked to disembark the plane, go through immigration and return to a gate number that our departing plane was not parked at. We should have listened to our instincts and stayed on the plane or had simply gotten off, went to the bathroom and snuck back on! But we didn't. We instead took directions well and headed off to immigration.
To make a very long, personal venting story very short we ended up not having a plane to re-board and our luggage ended up ahead of us in Villahermosa. Genius!
Anyways, we are on our way and despite this small mishap are very close to getting to where we need to be. As Juliet mentioned in her earlier post, IFAW's international emergency relief team had gathered for our annual meeting just last week when three disasters (now four) struck at the same time. In meetings that were aimed to have "mandatory attendance", numbers were quickly dropping. I myself I had to pull out of the meetings the last two days to prepare for this trip. But reality is, is this is the work that drives us everyday and we support each other in getting out the door.
Last night we were in communication with the team on the ground which consists of IFAW staff from our Latin America office and several local entities; the team leader being from Colegio de Medicos Veterinarios Zootecnistas del Estado de Tabasco. We were thrilled to hear that food supplies of rolling in and that the small and large animal rescue divisions are also in operation to reach new animals everyday.
If all goes well (and it will!), our team will be on a flight this morning and in the field late afternoon. Will be in touch with more information as soon as I can....

A study of the structure and metal tolerance of the soil microbial community six years after cessation of sewage sludge applications
Publikation/Tidskrift/Serie: Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry
Förlag: SETAC Press
Changes in soil microbial community structure and development of metal tolerance as a result of past applications of unamended sewage sludge and metal-amended sewage sludge were found in soils of a long-term field experiment at Braunschweig, Germany. Both the rate of sewage sludge application and metal amendment affected the size and activity of the microbial biomass and had caused changes in microbial community structure as seen by differences in phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) profiles. Past sewage sludge additions and metal amendment had an effect on the microbial respiratory response to 15 different C substrates, but both the magnitude and the direction of this response were substrate dependent. Differences between the soils in the respiratory response to the substrates were therefore probably largely determined by differences in the composition of the microbial consortia utilizing the substrates. The level of metal tolerance of the soil bacterial community determined by the thymidine incorporation technique and that of the microbial consortium growing on glucose in situ (determined from respiration measurements) increased with the level of metal contamination of the soil. Metal tolerance measurements could identify the metal with the largest toxicity effect in this experiment with multiple metal-polluted sewage sludge.

With a great amount of sole searching, author Johnny Powers switched from his favored genre of non-fiction, and wrote his first novel titled Ebony Rose. Rebel Publications eagerly secured exclusive publishing rights for this awesome new book after only reviewing the first few chapters. We are proud to announce the release of Ebony Rose, in paperback on December 4, 2017 and updated in 2018.
Here is a brief overview of the new novel Ebony Rose, by author Johnny Powers.
Author Johnny Powers returns to the mid-west to tell the riveting story of a naïve farm girl, who had rural ethics and big city morals, and was forced to take revenge after the rape and murder of her best friend.
Armed with only the facts shared by her dying stepbrother, the life of Ebony Rose explodes on the page to become a compelling new book detailing her many loves, intriguing mysteries, multiple secrets, forced destiny, and ultimately her destructive end on the streets of Chicago.
Born in 1934 and named by her mother after a jet-black piece of wood and a flower, this voluptuous red-head charmed her way into any bed, or business venture, she desired.

The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) has announced its Gold & Platinum Class Of 2021, recognizing artists who achieved Gold or Platinum status for the very first time. This year 43 artists from several different genres earned their first Gold, Platinum or multi-Platinum certification.
“This year’s ‘Class Of 2021’ first-time Gold & Platinum Awards club joins a towering group of musical giants – legends who have shaped our culture and achieved the very highest level of creative and commercial success. It’s especially great to see this year’s crop of Nashville-based stars carrying on the Music City’s legacy launching amazing careers and Gold & Platinum success,” RIAA Chairman & CEO Mitch Glazier tells MusicRow. “Congratulations to all of this year’s artists and the label teams that helped them reach this incredible milestone moment. We can’t wait to see what you do next!”
Of the 43 artists recognized, Wheelhouse Records’ Elvie Shane received his first Gold record for his breakout single, “My Boy.”
“Music isn’t just the noise we make,” shared Shane in a statement about the achievement. “It is the people that consume it. This song isn’t just a song. It is a chapter out of my personal journey. A sincerest ‘Thank You’ to my listeners for giving my story a Gold record.”
Big Loud Records / Back Blocks Music and Republic Records artist Lily Rose was awarded her first RIAA plaque this year, with her debut single “Villian” earning Gold status. The achievements add to a triumphant year for Rose, who was just named as part of MusicRow‘s Next Big Thing Class of 2022.
“I’m still taken aback at how much ‘Villain’ has not only changed my life, but also helped a lot of people feel seen and comforted in tough relationships,” Rose tells MusicRow. “It’s pretty much the only reason we do what we do — for people to discover 3 minutes of lyric and music that makes them feel something. I’m extremely proud to do this for a living, and so thankful for the fans for connecting with this record.”
Also representing the Nashville music industry is singer/songwriter/rapper Jelly Roll, who received two Gold records this year for “Creature (feat. Tech N9ne & Krizz Kaliko)” and “Save Me.” In an Instagram post shared in September, Jelly Roll thanked his fans for their support.

Malus Domestica 'Fuji'- Native Plant of Japan
Why Fuji Apple Tree?
Popularly known as the Japanese red apple tree, the Fuji Apple Tree is widely grown in many areas of the world for its delicious, juicy, and crispy red apples. These fruits are bursting with antioxidants and numerous vitamins.
The Fuji Apple Tree is best suitable for growing in hardiness zones 4 to 9 and is able to produce a large yield that usually ripens late in the season.
Whether the Malus Domestica ‘Fuji’ is grown for personal consumption or commercial selling, it needs moist and well-irrigated lands as it is not drought-tolerant. Apart from sufficient watering, the Fuji Apple Tree also needs at least six hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight exposure every day to maintain an annual growth rate of 13 to 24 inches to reach its fully matured height of 12 to 14 feet.
Since apples are consumed by a number of different animals and birds, the Fuji Apple Tree attracts migratory birds, honey bees, rodents, and small mammals. However, if the trees are left unattended for too long, the rodents and other mammals, such as rabbits, can destroy the tree by girdling its trunk.

This week I thought I’d embark on a little back garden test of some brand new SPIT self driving anchors and some SPIT Grip 10mm sleeve anchors. Both take a normal M8 bolt and hanger and can be found in caves and mines across the UK. The Grip sleeves are placed with a drill and only require a 10mm hole, the caving SPIT sleeves can be placed with a hand driver or drill/driver combination in a 12mm hole. Recently there have been discussions about potentially removing superfluous spits in some committees. The idea being that any old ones could now be removed where resin bolts are installed nearby.
I made a quick trip to the Hitch N Hike emporium of shiny things and located a lump of suitably good limestone to transport to the back garden. I set a number of each SPIT anchors into the limestone using the standard installation method for each. For testing I used my freshly calibrated Hilti HAT-28 unit attached directly into the sleeves via a hardened M8 bolt.
Bolt 1, 12mm:
This didn’t make it as far as the testing. Unknown weaknesses in the boulder cracked open as I was hammering the bolt home and the placement failed. Annoying but it does serve to highlight the issues of using any expansion anchor, especially shallow ones like these. Another tick in the ‘for’ column for resin bolts.
Bolt 2, 12mm:
A normal placement in a better part of the rock. I tested this by adding force in 4kN increments until 15kN was reached and the bolt started to slowly extract from the hole. Every time the force increased beyond 15kN the bolt pulled a little further out until it ultimately was removed intact from the rock at a little over 15kN.
Bolt 3, 12mm:
A normal placement as with Bolt 2 in good rock. Force was applied in the same way as before up until about 18kN when a small cracking noise was heard. I very gently increased the load expecting the cracking might be the limestone surface under the metal legs of the puller. At 19kN the bolt let out a loud crack and the tester jumped free of the block. “Great” I thought, it pulled out. Nope. The SPIT sleeve sheared about 15mm from the top, the remainder remaining set in the limestone block.
This was a first for me and I came to a couple of possible conclusions.
1: The sleeve was defective and the break was a freak occurrence.
2: The bolt I used was not screwed far enough into the sleeve and as such mainly applied force to the top section of the sleeve.
Bolt 4, 10mm:
This anchor came out very quickly. The bolt was extracted intact at 5kN. On later inspection the internal cone had not been driven to the full depth, perhaps 6mm short of the end of the sleeve. I suspect this made for a poor expansion in the hole and hence low removal force was required.
Bolt 5, 12mm:
As for Bolt 3, this sheared in the hole, leaving over half its length still in the placement. It sheared at 20kN. I suspect that a longer bolt would give a different result for this type of test. The bolt used was tightened to the same depth as a standard hanger plate attachment would have been when in normal use. The next test would use a longer bolt.
Bolt 6, 12mm:
A longer bolt was used to test this placement. The bolt was screwed in until fully inside the sleeve but not tightened as I did not want to begin to force the cone out the back.
This test did not result in bolt failure. The sleeve was extracted 1mm from the rock as the force reached 18kN and at 20kN was still holding strong at that position. This is the maximum force the HAT-28 can apply.
Bolt 7, 10mm:
This sleeve had it’s cone driven harder when setting, to the point that the sleeve began to push into the drill hole slightly. The tester removed this bolt from the rock at 9kN and it came out intact. The cone was found to be 4mm from the end of the sleeve.
Bolt 8, 10mm:
This bolt was set very hard indeed. The cone was pushed completely into the back of the sleeve with some serious hammering force. The cone was 3mm from the back of the sleeve. This bolt was extracted at 13.5kN and came out intact. The rock around the placement failed as the bolt was nearing full extraction.
Bolt 1 12mm no result
Bolt 2 12mm extracted at 15kN
Bolt 3 12mm sheared at 19kN
Bolt 4 10mm extracted at 5kN
Bolt 5 12mm sheared at 20kN
Bolt 6 12mm no failure at 20kN, 1mm of extraction
Bolt 7 10mm extracted at 9kN
Bolt 8 10mm extracted at 13.5kN
Nothing can really be drawn from that info as it is such a small sample. The main learning points I have taken from this are:
- 12mm sleeves may shear when a bolt is not inserted fully.
- 10mm sleeves extract at lower forces than 12mm sleeves.
- 10mm sleeves must be driven home very well to make their higher strengths. This is not always possible as the sleeve can be pushed into the drill hole if not drilled to exact depth*.
- All shallow expansion anchors can cause the rock to crack near the surface and no placement at this depth can be 100% guaranteed until the cone is set.
- There are big variations in the extraction forces which depend on many variables during the installation..
- No sleeve anchor can be removed with 100% certainty meaning that they will likely remain in the walls of the cave or mine forever.
*One of the selling points for this type of anchor sleeve is that they have a lip to prevent them slipping into over drilled holes.

On Soon Enough, Kramer is the dreamer who dared to dream. Across the albums nine tracks, Kramer shares his own particular reality, collecting together a series of his very own life events and observations and instilling them with meaning, and in the process creating his own reality within the album’s dreamy landscape.
Work on Soon Enough began in earnest back in late 2016 after the release of the debut Still Parade album, Concrete Vision. After beginning the writing process in his home studio in Berlin, Kramer decided a change of scenery was needed and in early 2017 he took the bare bones tracks he had started, across the Atlantic, trading Berlin for a creative vacation in Los Angeles.
Lionel Williams, the mastermind behind celestial pop outfit Vinyl Williams, would be Kramer’s LA guru and chief collaborator for the trip, having previously directed the 360 video for the Still Parade track “Chamber,”. At the time, Williams was camped out at Non Plus Ultra, a not-for-profit DIY creative space frequented by the likes of Mac DeMarco and Jimmy Whispers, that lifts its name from a Latin phrase that roughly translates as, “a high point with nothing beyond.” There Lionel would lay down the drum tracks that would form the foundation of Soon Enoughand begin to give shape to the sketches Kramer had brought with him.
Under LA’s clear skies, Kramer achieved a new found clarity about the direction the album should take. Every evening he took an hour and half walk around town. “I was really stunned by all the colours in the sunset. Coming from the gray of Berlin Winter and ending up in this colourful world, it just blows your mind. The title track on the album, “Soon Enough”, tries to capture an ephemeral moment, like a beautiful sunset, that you know is going to slip away. It’s not meant to be a whole metaphor for life or anything, but that’s one of the general vibes on the record, trying to hold on,” Kramer explains.
Returning to Berlin was a crash landing back to reality for Kramer who says, “Everything seemed so clear in LA. Then I had to put the this dreamy record through a reality check.” It would be another full year before Soon Enough was finished, a year that involved Kramer relenting to the idea that getting stuck is sometimes part of the creative process. Kramer took a second creative vacation, this one taking the form of time out from work on Soon Enough, Kramer began working on a separate batch of previously unreleased Still Parade songs that would form 2017’s Kindness EP, as well as cultivating a project of experimental ambient sounds under the moniker N Kramer.
Refreshed, Kramer returned his focus to finishing Soon Enough, the self-produced album he had been nurturing for the past two years that’s now being released on his very own label, Feel Flows (named after Kramer’s favourite Beach Boys track). Soon Enough is an all together softer record than it’s bold, primary colour predecessor, Concrete Vision, that also aims for more emotional complexity while trying not to drift into what Kramer calls “emotional jazz” territory. Selecting instruments more like a colour pallette, in order to cultivate more sixties sound, Kramer avoided the polysynths used throughout his Stil Parade debut, instead employing sounds like Clavinet, Rocksichord and Farfisa. The result is an album instilled with California sunshine and flooded with the warm red you find right before sunset. Soon Enough might be dreamy by design but is now very much a reality.

Chocolate Banana Muffins. Do I really need to say more? Delicious chocolate goodness. These were so good. I found them over at Allison’s Skinny Jeans. I made them in mini-muffin form which was a really good choice because it was nice to be able to just pop one in your mouth and not feel too guilty. And they have bananas in them and whole wheat flour, I mean they are practically a health food right? I just keep telling myself that. Check out this recipe because you’re going to love these muffins!
-2 Bananas- mine were not very ripe but it would probably make it easier to mash them if they were super ripe.
-2/3 cup sugar
-1/3 cup applesauce
-1/2 cup whole wheat flour
-1/2 cup all purpose flour
-1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-1 teaspoon baking powder
-1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus more for topping if you want)
1. Mash the bananas and then add in sugar, egg and applesauce.
2. Mix together the dry ingredients (both flours, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda and baking powder)
3. Sift dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix together
4. Fold chocolate chips into mixture
5. Grease muffin tin and fill to top
6. Bake at 375 for 12-14 minutes
7. Cool on a wire rack and top with other chocolate chips if desired
Yum, yum, yum. My husband and I both loved these. I will be keeping these in mind for a delicious treat to make whenever I have guests. What is your favorite muffin? I’m a fan of all things muffin!

KUSA - DENVER – There are famous places in Colorado that most people never get to see. Some are dark and mysterious. Others are bright and busy. They are all Under Colorado.
These underground treasures are the subject of a 9NEWS Special Program. Photojournalist Eric Kehe and I visited them to give viewers a rare view of what goes on deep inside the earth.
Under Colorado airs at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22 on 9NEWS
We got in to probably the most famous underground space in the country, Cheyenne Mountain.
Buried 2,000 feet under a mountain of granite, it’s a giant military command and control center that’s kept America safe for 50 years.
Experts monitor everything from missiles to satellites to space junk to the International Space Station.
The facility is built to withstand a nuclear blast, which it hopefully will never have to.
What goes on under Denver International Airport anyway? Oh, we’ve heard the rumors.
Rumors about a secret underground city. A military complex. A psychological warfare testing center. Even a base for aliens, like from outer space aliens.
We show you what’s really going on.
Titan Missile Silo
Can you imagine being a farmer from the Eastern Plains, and owning an old Titan Missile Silo?
We met him.
His dad bought it after the Air Force shut it down because the Cold War was over. Now it sits in a field, and has become a pain in the you-know-what.
Adults and kids from all over the country have spread the word online that it’s there, and they come to sneak in and explore.
It’s a very dangerous place, and the owner is worried something awful will happen down there. We talk to him about his dilemma.
Thousands of people drive through the Eisenhower and Johnson Tunnels every day.
You probably know what it looks like, but I’ll bet you’ve never seen its secrets. We’ll show you the wind tunnels, the control room, the fire station.
We’ll tell you about how it was built, and the giant piece of equipment that got stuck inside.
It’s still there.
And we’ll tell you the unlikely story of how a woman who worked to build the tunnels became a champion of women’s rights.
Colorado State Capitol
And finally, we’ll take you under Colorado’s State Capitol. It’s a massive place with tunnels that stretch for blocks.
What are they for? Are the rumors about them true? Were they really used by lawmakers 100 years ago to escape gun slingers? Or were prostitutes brought in to, ah, visit through those tunnels?
Just a few of the questions we answer as we take you on a unique journey – Under Colorado.

It’s been a while since my last post. There’s been waxing and waning between ideas of what to write to the contradicting thoughts and emotions of why bother, wondering what’s the purpose of blogging anyway. Pre-Christmas season was a right off. Energy was low and the old game of tug of war came back. The questioning of if I was standing in the right spot echoed from my insides while ‘stay or go’ became the internal question of the day. To be with family and friends at Christmas pulled at me like they would never release. I thought about the last Christmas; the pre-Gite Arbonne days, being in the van in Font with so much rain beating down. The time leading up to it wasn’t easy and ironically the moment I decided to quit everything, things turned around as if an unanswered pray was heard. This realization brought a sigh of relief like a loud bell, oh yeah, this Christmas thing.
Although without the big pleasant crowd, I had many blessings to count. Walking the city streets of Munich and seeing the begging homeless made me grateful for van life, however cold. The thought of actually packing up and getting on a plane made me slither a little on the insides anyway. Although the idea of long days spent driving under a huge sky between the many bountiful crags pulled at me; staying in Europe was what I wanted, at least for a little longer.
In November and December the roads between Germany and Switzerland were our home. Magic Wood was covered in a pile of stinking snow which apparently would take months to melt. Ticino was ripe with a crisp blue sky. The whole area was virgin to me. I had visited briefly ten years ago but the memories were vague. Upon arriving the view started to look familiar. The winding road, the big church with the Virgin Mary looming steadily above the village, the old rock buildings scattered above which I wondered were livable or not.
Our stays were short; a weekend here, an extended weekend there. Balance was sought between the plastic world and the outside. A local friend Petra showed us a couple areas while the tour continued with Toby the friendly giant who we had met in Magic wood. The area became more familiar as did the smell of billy goat and techniques on how to roast chestnuts. I’d have to say though; Ticino didn’t stir my soul like some places. It never bothered me to leave and yet, it never bothered me to stay. The one exception was when going to meet my old friend Justin Wood from the States. I had just over a week to frolic in the forest with this kindred spirit and I dreamt about all the cool problems we would try and stories we would tell.
On the way there from Munich I decided to drive via Zurich to attend a bouldering comp at the new Momentum Bouldering Gym and to face the realization that I live in a time warp. Having bouldered the day prior, I anticipated the full day of recovery and rest I had ahead of me. After much diddle dawdling, the organizer emailed informing that the comp was actually today and started in 20 minutes. My ass was still 1.5 hours away! Undeterred, we battled the horrendous traffic and confusing streets of Zurich and we showed up 3 hours later. The comp was worth the hassle; the different styled problems and unpainted walls made for a challenge. The gym was not insulated thus allowing me to blow O’s with my mouth proving what some would consider ‘good conditions’. Despite my lack of rest and untimeliness I made it into finals, having the privilege to stand in the same line as the Swiss power house Petra Klinger, who is an inspiration to watch. At the end of the comp I walked away not only psyched but with a gentle reminder to work on my weaknesses; dynos and big moves involving especially shitty feet around incredibly awkward corners.
The following day we headed to Ticino. Unfortunately Cedar caught a stomach critter which lasted a few days and a couple days later it was my turn. As I felt the sense of fainting coming on, I quickly pulled the van over only find myself moments later having rolled back into the road with people honking at me and Cedar shaking me while simultaneously holding a bucket under my mouth. The feelings invoked of helplessness and vulnerability by both of us could be a story unto itself. Needless to say, our ten day visit to Ticino was quickly diminished as we huddled away from climbing and human contact as the sun teased us under the cold conditions.
And so that happened a while ago… Like last year to be exact. I could blame busyness for my untimely post of these adventures or the absence of a computer that actually worked but if truth be told it was motivation. Sometimes it really seems like there is nothing to say but perhaps the real crux is getting started because it seems now, when the first word is done, there’s no stopping.The last day consisted of an international posse counting 2 Germans, 2 Canucks, 1 Australian, 1 Spaniard, 2 Bulgarians, and 3 Americans who all headed to area 101. The problems in this zone were big; some beautiful, some not, but all of them were given a fair go. Alex and I played seek and destroy for a new level for us. I was close on the start moves, she looked better on the end. If team ascents were permitted we’d have that but if divided by 2 the answer is not new for either of us so we just continued our punting on the other rock formations on our path. When the sun went down, the headlights came out. When all skin and energy was spent we headed back to Justin’s for what would be the last Justin supper.Our time with Justin amounted to two or three days but it was better than nothing. Catch up time on the latest of my Salt Lake City friends, Hannah, Sunny, Carrie, was brief but enough to make their presence felt closer. In the meantime I got one problem under my belt, a line called ‘teamwork’ which should be renamed ‘dagger holds’. But as I owe the send to the random boys who walked by with perfect timing to spot me sketching on the top, the present name is rather suiting.
Thanks for reading. XEnjoy this? please consider donating!

In our opinion, fresh beets need very little intervention from the cook in order to taste terrific, and we love it when we can buy them with their beautiful greens attached. For this simple, healthy side dish we roasted the beets to bring out their natural sweetness, sautéed the greens with a little garlic and olive oil and then combined the two.Print
Roasted Beets with Sautéed Greens
This healthy, flavorful side dish combines two cooking methods for fresh beets – roasting for the beets themselves and a quick sauté for the greens.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 25 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings
- 4 medium beets with greens attached
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 clove garlic, very finely chopped
- 1 to 3 tablespoons water
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F and line a shallow baking pan with foil.
- Trim the stems from the beets, discarding the bottom 1/2-inch where they were attached. Peel the beets, cut them into 1/2-inch cubes and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast the beets for 20 to 25 minutes, until tender and beginning to caramelize. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- While the beets roast, wash and dry the greens thoroughly. Chop the stems into 1-inch pieces, then roughly chop the leaves and set them aside.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the beet stems and 1 tablespoon of water. Cook the stems until tender, stirring frequently and adding extra water as needed, 5 to 10 minutes (time will vary depending on the thickness of the stems).
- Once the stems are tender, add the greens and cook until wilted and tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper, add the roasted beets and combine well.

Gillian and Adam have booked Alastair Bell Photography as their wedding photographer and as with all our packages, this meant they had a pre-wedding or engagement shoot. This is a fantastic way for you to get used to the way I work and get some lovely images as well!
This weekend was bitterly cold, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of Gillian, Adam or their children!
We met up at Cusworth Hall Park and Gardens which is a beautiful location in Doncaster providing lovely backdrops for any type of photography. As I arrived, my heart sank as the rain started to pour down, but luckily it was short lived and by the time I was parked up and was unloading my portable lighting kit the rain had stopped.
We started off relaxing the children in the park which created some lovely lifestyle shots of them individually and as a family and then it was off round to various locations within the grounds to create some of my more posed and creatively lit portraits.
Its only a couple of months until their wedding day now and I simply cannot wait for it to come round!

CAMBRIDGE RESILIENCE FORUM
Salil Tripathi and Richard Calland:
The University of Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership, invites you to join us as two international experts on human rights discuss ‘Rights and Sustainability – Sustainable Rights'.
The protection of natural capital – ecosystems, biodiversity and natural resources – is often portrayed as a luxury affordable only to the wealthy and something that stifles economic growth and is anti-poor. The recent debates in South Africa around the granting of mining rights in protected and environmentally sensitive areas and the building of new coal fired power stations are cases in point. Progress on international climate negotiations has also been deadlocked on the ‘rights’ of developing countries to grow and to emit CO2 in doing so.
However, recent work done as part of the ‘The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity’ project, highlight an inextricable link between poverty and the loss of ecosystems and biodiversity. Their research show that ecosystem services account for us much as 40%-50% of what they define as the ‘GDP of the poor’. There are thus clearly ethical choices involved between the rights of people in different parts of the world and with different levels of economic wealth. But, there equally ethical questions involved between the rights of current and future generations.
When economic models use a 3-5% discount rate to calculate the current value of ecosystem services, it means that we value a natural service to our own grandchildren (50 years hence) at one-seventh the benefit we derive from it, a difficult ethical standpoint to defend.
Correctly viewed, sustainable development has always been about natural AND social capital, placing emphasis not only the rights of the poor but also on the rights of future generations.

Margaret and Harold Anderson are seen in this 1955 Blade file photo.
Editor's note: This version corrects that Mr. Anderson spent 13 months in and out of a psychiatric hospital battling depression.
Northwest Ohio residents are familiar with The Andersons and the company's sprawling general stores where consumers can purchase anything from food, wine, and imported beers to hardware, appliances, home decor, and furniture.
But The Andersons is more than a retail and agri-business. It is involved in rail car leasing, turf products, and ethanol concerns too, and the family's story is told in a three-part documentary in the WGTE-TV's Toledo Stories.
The series, entitled Grain: The Harold Anderson Story, is available from the BuckeyeCablesystem's video-on-demand and each 30-minute documentary will air again consecutively on Dec. 27 on Public Broadcasting System's Channel 9.
"One comment is that so many people think Andersons is just a store. All they know is the retail part of it. But that's just a very small part of the big picture. People just don't realize that the company began in the grain industry and branched out from there," said Kay Anderson, a daughter of the late John and Mary Kay Anderson.
The documentaries were her idea, and she worked on the project for about a year.
"I always thought it was a story that should be told. Many people on the outside encouraged me to do it, especially when Toledo Stories started, people commented that they would like to see a story about the history of the Andersons," said Ms. Anderson, a freelance video producer whose company is KMA Productions of Maumee.
The narrator and granddaughter of Harold Anderson, Ms. Anderson said she has collected material on the family's history for years. In the documentary are interviews of family members, including uncles Tom and Dick Anderson, and images of the family farm on South Holland-Sylvania Road in different seasons.
"There's no getting around the fact that the second generation is thinning out," she said. "Tom is now dead, and when we got the go-ahead to do the show, I did more current interviews with Dick and Carol. I used some footage I had done with Tom, plus what others had shot. And as luck would have it, Channel 30 did footage on Margaret, my grandmother, and we found some really wonderful quotes from grandma that we were able to put in the show."
Ms. Anderson also focuses on "the big pour," which describes the pouring of concrete for the company's silos.
"It was an exciting period in the company's history," Ms. Anderson said. "The more I researched I found that there were a lot of stories, enough to make a program like this."
A June, 1953 Sunday Blade Page One story said it was the "‘biggest monolithic concrete pour' in Ohio history."
The Blade reporter wrote: "The spectacular job, to be continued day and night over an 11-day period, will raise 20 new connected silos 168 feet high, at the Andersons Truck Terminal on Illinois St. in Maumee. When completed for use next October, the towering structure will quadruple the grain-storing capacity of the elevator, bringing it to 4,000,000 bushels."
Thomas Anderson stated then, " ‘The silos will go up steadily at the rate of about 15 feet a day. We'll pour 40 cubic yards, or about 80 tons of concrete an hour, and in all it will take about 22,000 tons.' "
And also in the documentary, viewers will hear Margaret Anderson's voice, while Bill Anderson provides the voice for Harold Anderson, who started the family fortune.
"I tried to use as many family members as I could," said Ms. Anderson.
Sometimes families shield their challenges from public view. Not in this case.
"I thought it was important to tell grandpa's failures and his struggles before his success," Ms. Anderson said about Harold. "That's a rich part of the history. He spent about 13 months in and out of a psychiatric hospital, suffering from depression. I didn't want to hide that. My family didn't want to hide that. They were always up front about that, about his struggles with depressions and how he forged through all that."
The documentary has pleasant feel and is set to soothing music. When you settle down to watch, make sure there are no interruptions, and be sure to have a nice hot cup hot chocolate. It's just that kind of program, full of rich history about a family that has invested so much in the Toledo area.

Watch Bad Samaritan (2018) Online
The main characters celebrated each success story. They honestly enjoyed their victories without reflecting on the fact that their actions are illegal. The thing the boys did was very popular with them. They did not want to change the occupation, which brought good money.
Once, when friends went to the crime, they were expecting a series of problems. They did not think the owner of the house, which they decided to rob, would cause them trouble. When the characters entered the house, they heard strange sounds coming from the cellar. The boys learned that the owner of the house had kidnapped a woman and kept the poor things in the building against her will. From this moment on, events happen, which the guys obviously did not expect. How will you finish this story for the main characters?

DEFCON is an online, competitive, multiplayer strategy game based around the theme of global thermonuclear war. The game, inspired by the 1983 cult-classic Wargames, superbly evokes the tension, paranoia and suspicion surrounding the Cold War era. The player assumes the role of a General hidden deep within an underground bunker, his mission being to successfully exterminate the enemy’s civilian population whilst simultaneously disabling the enemy’s ability to retaliate. Desperate attempts must be made to form fast, tactical alliances - alliances that may at any moment break-down to become treacherous and very deadly betrayals.
DEFCON is proof once again that the creation of exciting, unique games does not rely on years and years of development, nor a 100 strong dev team. With the release of DEFCON, Introversion continues to demonstrate that indie developers are at the forefront of exciting, innovative gaming experiences,” says Tom Arundel of Introversion Software.

Shop Floor Automations Newsletter – JAN/FEB 2018
This archived copy of the January/February 2018 issue of the SFA newsletter focuses on machine monitoring data.
Estimated OEE vs Real OEE
A good number of our customers were able to contribute to the phenomenal growth in the manufacturing industry last year because of OEE information gathered by machine monitoring software.
Often the first overlooked step in improved production is not properly tracking utilization and OEE. Our customers at R&D Manco in Phoenix definitely agree with this statement.
We spoke to them recently and discovered that before implementing Predator MDC software, it was assumed that their machines were running at 50 percent utilization. Within a short period of time using the software, they found utilization was more around 30 percent. Uptime is critical to their operations, especially with lead times of 8 months to 1 year for the parts they run.
In a recent issue of Modern Machine Shop (MMS), the company credits machine monitoring from SFA (via Predator MDC) as an essential resource for increasing capacity.
MFG 2017 Review & 2018 Outlook

It's the start of a new IxDA chapter in Maryland, and the start of a new year; therefore, I think it's only appropriate that we start planning for our first event of the year. I'd like to put out a call out to all our IxDA Frederick members to submit ideas for what our first event should be. To kick things off, I'd like to propose our first event be more of a greet-and-meet to give us all an opportunity to get together and learn about each other. This would also serve as a great time to discuss what each of us would like to get out of this local IxDA chapter and to see how we would like it to grow. My view is that this IxDA Frederick belongs to all the members, so we can make of it what we want - keeping in mind our mission of course.
As IxDA Frederick is the first chapter in Maryland, I believe that it is important to welcome anyone in the Maryland area. Having said that, I am happy to hold events that are most convenient for the majority of our members. If you have some ideas of where our first event can be held please send your ideas. Currently i'd be happy to get together anywhere in the Baltimore, Columbia, Montgomery County and Frederick County areas.
If you can submit ideas by no later than January 11th, we can start continue this thread and discuss our first event.

Despite the common misperception that it is hard for vegetarians to get enough iron, the hemoglobin values and most other measures are similar in vegetarians to non-vegetarians. (1) There is evidence that shows that individuals can adapt and absorb non-haem iron more effectively, and in fact can also reduce iron losses.
The main functions of iron are to help supply oxygen to the blood, to help the body resist disease, to promote red blood cell formation, and to maintain proper metabolism. Most iron is present in haemoglobin and the remainder is stored in the liver, spleen and bone marrow. A small amount is present as myoglobin which acts as an oxygen store in muscle tissue.
Iron deficiency (a common condition) can lead to anaemia which is where the iron stores in the body have become depleted and haemoglobin synthesis is inhibited. Symptoms include tiredness, lack of stamina, breathlessness, depression, dim vision and poor memory, all of which are associated with decreased oxygen supply to tissues and organs. Iron deficiency in infants can result in impaired learning ability and behavioural problems. There are two dietary forms of iron, haem (found in animal tissues) and non-haem (present in plant foods).
Vitamin C greatly increases the absorption of non-haem iron. Foods rich in vitamin C include fresh leafy green vegetables, red peppers and fruit. Iron absorption can also be influenced by the combination of the foods and an individual’s iron levels.
Tea and coffee inhibit iron absorption. Try to drink these between meals rather than directly before, during or after a meal.
Good: Chickpeas, dark leafy greens, beans, nuts, molasses, dried apricots, figs, brewers yeast, fresh wheat germ, marmite.
Fair: Boiled egg, avocado, asparagus, wholemeal bread, broccoli, brown rice.
Poor: Milk (cow’s), cheese, yoghurt, banana.
The former RDA, Recommended Daily Amounts, have now been replaced by the term Reference Nutrient Intake (RNI). The RNI is the amount of nutrient which is enough for at least 97% of the population.
||Teen boys up to adult males
||Teen girls to adult females
Extra iron is required by women during pregnancy and breast feeding. In women, loss from menstruation adds considerably to requirements, though the losses are variable. Research shows that 10% women of child bearing age will need more iron than the RNI indicates.
This will meet the RNI of 14.8mg of iron for a woman aged between 11-49 years. This is an example only, remember variety is essential for a healthy diet.
If you require any dietary advice, please consult a reputable dietician knowledgable in vegetarianism.
Total iron intake: 14.9mg

Experts estimate that around 40% of food in the United States is wasted. While much of that is generated by the food and restaurant industries, another chunk of it is generated by households like yours. How often do you go through your refrigerator or freezer and throw out food that has gone bad? How much money are you throwing away?
Organization can significantly reduce this waste in two ways. First, if you can easily see what is in your fridge, you are more likely to eat it before it goes bad. Second, if you know what you have, you won’t buy more because you forgot what was in there.
Whether you are dealing with the fridge or the freezer there are a few steps you need to master before you begin organizing.
- Know food storage temperatures. Some foods need to be chilled while others can be left out. Certain types of food freeze well while others do not. If you’re not sure which is which, do a bit of research or seek out a simple guide that you can put on your refrigerator door until you get the hang of it.
- Have a labeling system. This applies not just to things you cook or freeze yourself. If you have take out or open a container of prepared food, put that date on the box or jar. It’s also a good idea for items going into the freezer or takeout containers to write what it is as well as the date. Consider labeling the different sections of your freezer and fridge so that everyone in the family knows what goes where. Designate a place to keep masking tape and sharpie or label gun.
- Invest in good containers. Some food bags are specifically designed for freezer temperatures while others are good in the fridge. Buy glass containers for food that will be microwaved and durable plastic for the freezer. If you want to purchase bins or boxes to help group things in either location, make sure they are the right size and material for your use. You may want to buy specialty items like egg containers or carafes for beverages.
Placement is the most important element in organizing your refrigerator. There are numerous guides available, and your specific appliance model may come with one. Usually you will keep produce separate from meats and each will have its designated bin. The coldest temperatures will be found in the center of your fridge and the warmest in the door. Items that drip should go on the lowest shelves.
You will want to create a system for rotating the food in your refrigerator as you do in your cabinets. Items that are older or have a shorter shelf life should be located near the front of the shelf or bin so that they will be used. As new items are added, put them towards the back. This is where labeling can help you keep track of what is in danger of expiring.
If you batch cook, you may want to create a labeled section of your fridge for each day of the week. That way everyone knows where to find Wednesday’s lunches or Friday’s dinner. Or you may want to label a specific shelf or box as “eat first.”
How you freeze things is as important as what you freeze. It is a good idea to freeze things in flat containers or bags. If you have access to one of the vacuum devices that remove the air, that is even better. It is also a good idea to freeze according to future use or portions rather than in large containers that then have to be broken down later. If you buy frozen items in bulk, such as meat or prepared food, it’s a good idea to transfer them into your own containers to achieve the portions you want.
Organizers are especially useful in a freezer, where it is easier to forget what you have. Use plastic boxes or tubs to group similar items together, such as soups, vegetables, breakfast foods, etc. A simple label on the box will remind you what goes where and where to find what you’re looking for.
As with the fridge, you’ll want to create a system for rotating older items to the front and placing newer items in the back. And the same temperature rules applies: coldest storage is in the center of the freezer and warmest is the door, so don’t keep ice cream containers in the door.
Most people come home from a shopping trip so tired that they just throw things into the freezer or fridge and forget about it. By creating an organized system ahead of time, it will be a snap to throw things into their designated places and put an end to food waste.

Illinois Traffic Violations That Could Adversely Affect Insurance Rates, Driving Records, and Lead to Up to $1000 in Fines and Costs.
Failure to Reduce Speed to Avoid an Accident (625 ILCS 5/11-601(a)
Driving Too Fast for Conditions (625 ILCS 5/11-601(a)
If you are ticketed for Failure to Reduce Speed to Avoid an Accident or Driving Too Fast for Conditions, you may need legal representation. Both offenses are petty offenses punishable by a fine of up to $1000. Convictions for these offenses could have serious consequences for both your driver’s license and your insurance.
Failure to Reduce Speed to Avoid an Accident is the most common ticket issued when a traffic accident has occurred. Usually, they are issued by a police officer who arrives on the scene of the accident after it has already occurred and then makes a determination of fault with in minutes of arrival. Very seldom are traffic accidents actually witnessed by a police officer. Sometimes, an officer will, in addition to speaking with the people involved in the accident, talk to other witnesses who were not involved in the accident, but saw it occur. However, this is not always the case, and often the officer will not obtain information that identifies who these third party witnesses are so they may be called to testify in court.
Proving Failure to Reduce Speed
To prove a charge of failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident the State must prove:
- That you were driving a vehicle on a public highway;
- That you collided with a person or a vehicle on that highway,
- That you did so in violation of your duty to use “due care”.
With the most typical failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident ticket, the first two requirements are usually easy for the State to establish. It is the third requirement that is the most difficult. Was the accident unavoidable? Was the other party to the accident the person who was not exercising due care? Were there road conditions or unusual obstacles that caused the accident? Were there equipment issues with your vehicle that caused the accident? The duty of due care is a nebulous concept, and an experienced traffic attorney can use this subjective standard to your advantage.
Driving Too Fast for Conditions
Driving Too Fast for Conditions is a less common violation than failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and is often issued in the case of a one vehicle accident in which a car slides off the road due to snow, ice, rain, fog, road surface or other environmental condition. It is not limited to this situation, however. Just like a failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident ticket, these are seldom witnessed by a police officer. In fact, there are often no other witnesses to the accident other than the driver who went off the road. The officer just sees the accident, looks at the road conditions, and concludes that the driver was going to fast, and that is why he/she went off the road.
To prove a charge of driving too fast for conditions the State must prove:
- That you were driving a vehicle on a public highway;
- That you did so at a speed that was greater than what was “reasonable and proper” when accounting for highway conditions such as traffic, weather, and road surface,
- You endangered the safety of any person or property.
Much like the “due care” standard, “reasonable and proper” is a broad definition that can vary widely depending on the subjective opinion of the officer issuing the ticket. In many ways, it is even more subjective, and, therefore, even more difficult for the State to prove. A traffic attorney with years of experience can ensure that the State meets their burden to prove every element of the ticket against you beyond a reasonable doubt.
For both offenses, the fact that you did not exceed the posted speed limit at the time of the accident is generally not a valid defense. This is a very common misconception about accident tickets. Not exceeding the speed limit can be a factor to be explored when cross examining the state’s witnesses about whether or not you used “due care” or were traveling at a speed that was “reasonable and proper”, but this is a very complex argument to make, and is best accomplished by an attorney with the experience to ask the right questions.
Both tickets are also eligible for Court Supervision, which is sometimes referred to as earned dismissal. This means that as long as certain requirements are followed (usually a payment of fines and no tickets for 3 to 6 months after the term of supervision begins) the ticket will not be placed on your driving record as conviction by the Secretary of State, and will not place any points against your license. A common misconception about Court Supervision is that the record of the ticket just “goes away”. It does not mean that the record of the ticket disappears entirely, it can still be seen by law enforcement and the court system, but it is not accessible to other parties. Even if you don’t want to challenge the ticket in court by making the State prove all the elements against you, an attorney can negotiate a disposition of Court Supervision with the prosecutor, and, in some counties, do so without you ever having to go to court. This can be very advantageous to those with busy schedules.

Advancing data reuse in phyloinformatics using an ontology-driven Semantic Web approach

Phylogenetic analyses can resolve historical relationships among genes, organisms or higher taxa. Understanding such relationships can elucidate a wide range of biological phenomena, including, for example, the importance of gene and genome duplications in the evolution of gene function, the role of adaptation as a driver of diversification, or the evolutionary consequences of biogeographic shifts. Phyloinformaticists are developing data standards, databases and communication protocols (e.g. Application Programming Interfaces, APIs) to extend the accessibility of gene trees, species trees, and the metadata necessary to interpret these trees, thus enabling researchers across the life sciences to reuse phylogenetic knowledge. Specifically, Semantic Web technologies are being developed to make phylogenetic knowledge interpretable by web agents, thereby enabling intelligently automated, high-throughput reuse of results generated by phylogenetic research. This manuscript describes an ontology-driven, semantic problem-solving environment for phylogenetic analyses and introduces artefacts that can promote phyloinformatic efforts to promote accessibility of trees and underlying metadata. PhylOnt is an extensible ontology with concepts describing tree types and tree building methodologies including estimation methods, models and programs. In addition we present the PhylAnt platform for annotating scientific articles and NeXML files with PhylOnt concepts. The novelty of this work is the annotation of NeXML files and phylogenetic related documents with PhylOnt Ontology. This approach advances data reuse in phyloinformatics.

We have a couple of parking templates to select from where you can add custom text. If you choose to host a parked domain in the future, adding it to your account requires only a mouse click. Everything required for the site to start showing up, like setting up a domain folder and setting up DNS records is going to be done automatically by our system. The feature-rich Domain Manager tool will allow you to view a full list of the domain addresses that you've registered through our company and you can set a filter to view just the parked or just the hosted ones.
Parked Domains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting do not have a set limit for the amount of domains that you can park. This feature is offered for domains that are registered through us and not ones that are only hosted, since the service is always provided only by the registrar.

5 Expert Personal Branding Tips For The Job Hunt.
As professionals pursuing a second career or attempting a change of industry may have noticed, getting hired can itself be full-time work. With thousands of candidates hunting for fewer positions, it therefore bears repeating: As many job hunting guides now note, the smartest career move you can make is investing in yourself.
Enter personal branding – the practice of packaging and presenting yourself as Apple or Nike would consumer products. A necessity in today’s mile-a-minute, increasingly visual world, where first impressions are everything, you either instantly stand out or become hopelessly overlooked. Nowadays, the most important brand you’ll ever represent is yourself. Doubly so in the eyes of increasingly harried, time-strapped employers, whose perceptions it ultimately shapes.
Note that this doesn’t mean pretending to be something you’re not. Rather, it’s about realigning yourself to fit contemporary viewpoints. Want to be perceived as relevant? Let others know by keeping your skill set, experience and online footprint up to date. Following are several personal branding basics worth remembering – use them as a general job hunting guide, and you’ll instantly improve your chances of getting hired.
Get Your Story Straight – Forget the fabled 30-second “elevator pitch…” In today’s hyperkinetic age, you’ve got to summarize yourself in one sentence. Observers tend to group people into easily-sorted mental categories, so keep descriptions brief and individually crafted to suit each audience to avoid typecasting. Likewise, from your personal blog to your resume, collateral messaging should also remain consistent. Getting the cold shoulder? One problem may the language you’re using. Free services like Google Insights for Search and Google AdWords keyword tool‘ (which reveal popular online search terms) can disclose if the world’s actually looking for an “IT manager,” not “systems administrator.”
Control Your Online Presence – With employers increasingly turning online to research job candidates, search engine optimization (SEO) – tailoring web pages to rank high in online search results – is vital. Start by inserting your name into Google and see what it spits out: First-page placements are 24X likelier to influence viewer perception (and top three results drive the most traffic). Create more favorable impressions by securing a website featuring your name or a simple variation (ex. www.johnqpublic.com, www.johnquincypublic.com), then filling it with high-quality professional insights. Pursue similar strategies and placements on popular social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.) or ones featuring popular keywords fitting your expertise (“/CollegeProfessor,” “/SecurityExpert,” etc.) as well. You can also use popular blogging platforms like WordPress and TypePad (dozens of sites offer eye-catching plug-and-play designs), and create posts featuring these terms to improve search results, and highlight your unique personality and perspective.
Make Your Voice Heard – Most hesitate to speak up for fear of criticism or ridicule. But with so many competing for so little nowadays, the squeaky wheels get the grease. Personal branding lets you establish yourself as a subject matter expert who brings singular, indispensable services to the table, not just another nameless drone. To this extent, you need to create platforms (websites,blogs, podcasts, self-published books/magazines, online video channels, email newsletters, etc.) that can reach large audiences, and galvanize support and discussion from professional readers/viewers. Once built, content that illustrates your expertise should be provided on a running basis, including research, analysis and opinions. All creations should be readily shareable via social media, helping you become a well-known and trusted online presence.
Participate in the Community – Doing favors for fellow job hunters, responding to reader emails and contributing as an unpaid volunteer to industry organizations may seem financially unproductive. But it helps build relationships, contacts and goodwill, while letting you have a positive impact on the professional community at large. Not only do such activities provide the perfect venue to demonstrate your skills and enthusiasm, and connect with potential mentors or advisers. With as many as eight in ten jobs going unadvertised in 2012, the connections they provide could prove essential to landing a new gig.
Join the Online Social – Numerous vehicles – submitting free bylined articles to trade publications, participating in online insider newsgroups, etc. – exist to become a strong and stable voice in your professional community. But you also have to be accessible as well: People have to know where to reach you, and that you’ll acknowledge their opinion by responding to questions and feedback as well, with conversation a two-way street. Note that the door works both ways, however, which savvy job hunters can also use to their advantage. With more employees launching corporate or personal blogs, sometimes the easiest way to get someone’s ear is simply to reach out directly and impress them through perceptive and intelligent discussion.

IT Asset Disposition (ITAD)
Poor ITAD Strategy Can Bite You
Organizations that don't have a good plan for handling end-of-life devices face potential risks and missed opportunities.
Discarded electronics are a major source of toxic materials in landfills, which means that companies that don't dispose of them properly aren't being environmentally friendly and could face unwelcome publicity.
Wiping the device of its data is a crucial step in the recycling process. Old devices are a security threat if the data stored on them falls into the wrong hands.
Then, there's the money left on the table when a subpar ITAD strategy doesn't capture the value in retired equipment.

A new laser-beam steering system that aims and focuses bursts of light onto single atoms for use in quantum computers has been demonstrated by collaborating researchers from Duke University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Described in the journal Applied Physics Letters, published by the American Institute of Physics, the new system is somewhat like the laser-light-show projectors used at rock concerts and planetariums. But it's much smaller, faster, atom-scale accurate and aimed at the future of computing, not entertainment.
In theory, quantum computers will be able to solve very complex and important problems if their basic elements, called qubits, remain in a special "quantum entangled" state for a long enough time for the calculations to be carried out before information is lost to natural fluctuations. One of several promising approaches to quantum computing uses arrays of individual atoms suspended by electromagnetic forces. Pulses of laser light manipulate the internal states of the atoms that represent the qubits, to carry out the calculation. However the lasers must also be focused and aimed so accurately that light meant for one atom doesn't affect its neighbors.
The new system did just that. Tiny micromirrors, each only twice the diameter of a human hair, pointed to each target atom in as little as 5 microseconds, which is about 1,000 times faster than sophisticated beam-steering mirrors developed for optical communications switching, not to mention the still slower units used in light shows. The researchers saw that the laser pulses also correctly manipulated the quantum properties of each target atom -- in this case a line of five rubidium-87 atoms -- without disturbing any neighboring atoms, which were separated by just 8.7 microns, about one-tenth the diameter of a human hair.
"Our experiments demonstrated the crucial requirement that our micromirror system maintain the laser-beam quality necessary to manipulate the internal states of the individual atoms," said Jungsang Kim, leader of the Duke researchers who designed the micromirror system. The atomic physics experiments were performed in Mark Saffman's group at University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The groups plan to continue their collaboration, with future experiments targeting two-qubit gates, which are expected to be the basic building block of quantum logic, and atoms confined in larger two-dimensional arrays.
This work was funded by the Army Research Office, the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), and the National Science Foundation.

Generally, a transfer involves you providing funds to a bank or an independent transfer provider, which then sends the money to your recipient in another country — in this case, Hungary. This can be done in person, over the phone, through a mobile app or online. You can use cash, a credit or debit card, or transfer funds from your bank account, which will then either be deposited into your recipient’s bank account or mobile wallet, or made available as cash for them to pick up at a location in their country.Back to top
Banks versus money transfer companies
Ania is a third-generation Hungarian-American living and working in New York. She maintains close ties with the Hungarian cultural associations, especially since her sister moved to Budapest and married a Hungarian. Ania often sends home money for her little niece’s birthdays, Christmas and Easter, so she’s always comparing transfer services to find the best and cheapest companies.
|U.S. Bank||Money Transfer Service|
|Exchange rate||$1 = $195.7380 HUF||$1 = $191.65 HUF|
|Amount received for $500||$93,562.76 HUF||$95,826 HUF|
|Transfer time||24 business hours||1 to 3 days|
|Transfer options||Bank to bank, online transfer||Online transfer|
Ania has the choice between a service that delivers faster for a small fee and another service that offers free transactions with a longer delay in delivery. Should she decide to use an international money transfer service, the recipient could receive 2262.23 HUF more.Back to top

A Deputy Director, Environmental Health in Abia State, Mrs Obi Madukaihuaku, has charged Abians to keep their surroundings clean against new wave of diseases like diphtheria.
Addressing newsmen on behalf of the Commissioner for Environment, Barr. Sam Nwogu on Saturday after the January Monthly Sanitation exercise, she said the call has become important in view of the deplorable state of some homes in Abia and the outbreak of the bacteria disease known as diphtheria in some states in the country.
She reminded Abians that cleanliness is next to Godliness, stating that the Coronavirus disease and now the latest diphtheria is still ravaging, stressing that the only way to check these diseases was to maintain personal hygiene and a healthy environment.
Mrs Madukaihuaku, harped on the need for Abians to maintain healthy environment, reiterating that diseases cannot thrive in such places.
On compliance to the January monthly sanitation exercise, she revealed that the reason for the low participation was due to the Central Bank of Nigeria policy on redesign of new currencies: N200, N500, N1000, saying that most Abians devoted their time going to Banks in the state to change their old notes before the January 31st deadline.Tags: Abia Sanitation, Diphtheria, Personal Hygiene

Governor Tekagi (died 805 AS) was a Kusari politician and one of the most powerful nobles in Kusari, being able to privately meet with Rheinland Chancellor Niemann. While highly influential, according to the Blood Dragons, Tekagi was always a vile, unpleasant man. However, after being infected with a Nomad, presumably from the possessed Niemann, he grew ill, and both friends and enemies noticed that Tekagi began behaving in a highly unusual fashion, even for him. News reports indicate that Tekagi refused food and sleep for an extended period after his meeting with Niemann. If other news reports regarding other potential Nomad victims are accurate, it is likely that during this time, the Nomad parasite was busily devouring Tekagi's redundant organs.
In Mission 8, Ozu, Juni, Trent and a small strike force of Blood Dragons hijacked a Samura transport in hopes of finding Tekagi and the Proteus Tome. They found neither, so Ozu and Trent led a fleet of Dragons to Tekagi's Arch (alternately known as the Heaven's Gate and the Tohoku Planetary Arch) in the Tohoku system. After a fierce battle, Trent and Ozu infiltrated the base, but were knocked unconcious by neural gas before they could recover the Proteus Tome and escape. The Governor interrogated both men, mortally wounding Ozu with a blade launched from his sleeve, and revealed his possessed nature to Trent, possibly trying to spread the infection to him. However, Lord Hakkera arrived in the nick of time, providing cover fire allowing Trent to seize the Tome and escape, and giving Ozu the opportunity to trigger a hidden explosive, sacrificing his life to kill Tekagi.

The offer includes, in addition to hotel nights, the extraordinary experience of staying at a monastery and at a local home to fully enter into the spirit of such a fascinating and unexpected destination. There is no shortage of moments of relaxation with a short cruise on Inle Lake. Trekking excursions vary from 4 to 8 hours and require an average level of training, including a bicycle excursion to Bagan.
Free departures minimum 2 participants
Arrival at Yangon airport, the former capital, also known by the name of Rangoon. It is the largest city in Myanmar and continues to be the most important commercial center in the country and the arrival point for most part of international visitors. The colonial past and religious heritage make the city one of the most fascinating places in Southeast Asia.
Depending on the arrival of the flight, lunch or visits are scheduled.
Start your day with a walk on Mahanbandola Street where the Imanuel Baptist Church built in 1830 is located and continue walking through small streets full of markets and food stalls. Crossing the Pasodan street, you will have the opportunity to find many shops where used books and photocopied books are sold. During the walk you can admire the buildings of the Supreme Court, the Inland Water Transport, and the headquarters of the Myanma Port Authority before arriving on the Strand Road. The next stop will be at the foot of the majestic Strand Hotel. Continuing your journey on the Strand Road you can discover the Customs House and the Palace of Justice, an imposing colonnaded building. Returning to the north of the city, passing through the green Bank Street, you will arrive at the Sule Pagoda Road where it will be possible to consult one of the numerous fortune tellers who work in the cool of the trees. Don't forget to take a break to photograph the Sule Pagoda, the symbol of the city center built over 2000 years ago. Continue towards Mahabandoola Garden through two lively neighborhoods: the Chinese and the Indian. Explore the golden shops of Shwe Bontha Street and take a look at the Moseh Yeshua Synagogue on 26th Street. Once you arrive at Theingyi Zei market, do not hesitate to discover the remedies of traditional Chinese medicine. Continue towards Anawratha Street which will lead you to Sri Kali temple, the most colorful Hindu temple in Yangon.
Visit the Kyaukhtatgyi Pagoda to admire a statue of Bouddha lying down 72 meters long. It is one of the largest Buddha reproductions in Myanmar.
In fact, no trip to Myanmar can be considered complete without visiting the legendary Shwedagon Pagoda. The best time of day to appreciate its beauty is definitely the late afternoon when the last rays of the sun decorate its golden stupa giving it a wonderful look.
Meals included: lunch and dinner
Accommodation: overnight stay in Yangon
Duration of the excursion: 2.30 HRS
After breakfast, transfer to Yangon airport for flight to Bagan.

A walk in the village to spend time with a local family who will tell you about tea plantations and how they are grown. Pindaya is famous for having the best tea, the best variety of tea leaves and the best soy products from all of Myanmar. You will have the opportunity to taste fresh tea infused at the moment, to observe the drying of the soy crackers, take a walk among the plantations and try yourself to collect the leaves. Return to the house to attend a demonstration on the preparation of the tea you have just collected.
Note; during the rainy season, the premises cannot dry the tea leaves, therefore customers will not have the opportunity to attend the entire production process. While during the drought season it will not be possible to visit the whole tea plantation due to the too sultry climate.
You continue the journey to Kalaw, a small mountain town at 1300 meters above sea level which in the past has been a British government garrison, chosen by the British for its always pleasant climate; the peace of this place, the charm of the ancient atmosphere colonial, and the authenticity of the population, make Kalaw a very special stop.

The good, the bad, and the ugly of fly-fishing for trout in SW Montana...from my eyes.
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Spent the last two days in database hell, holed up in back of the shop. New projects, new database. I thought I wanted to be a fishing guide.
Get what you get it and don't throw a fit is my motto for the week.

This morning on the bus I saw a father and his children (a small boy and a baby girl) on their way to one of the Dad and kid programs nearby. The boy was sitting next to him, baby was in a wrap and tucked into his coat facing him. While the boy and Dad were talking quite animatedly about everything from road construction, to buses to where they were going, the Dad would frequently look at his tiny baby girl and give her little kisses on her forehead. He had a big fuzzy beard, and you could see her cute tiny baby expressions of love and joy when she stared up at her Dad followed by tiny frowns and surprises every time he laid tiny bristled kisses on her head. It was so sweet!

Horseshoe Falls as seen from the Skylon Tower.
“Niagara Falls must be the second major disappointment of American married life.”
Oscar Wilde, 1882.
The falls at Niagara are certainly not the highest or widest falls in the world. But they are perhaps the most famous and most visited.
American Falls and Rainbow Bridge.
There are two main falls here. The wider falls are the Horseshoe Falls contained almost entirely on the Canadian side of the border. The American Falls are narrower with a lot of rubble at the base. The best view of both falls is from the Canadian side.
Horseshoe Falls from Table Rock.
The city of Niagara Falls, Canada, is geared primarily towards tourism. Perhaps, like Oscar Wilde, you might be somewhat disappointed with the falls. But, there are lots of other things to see and do here. In one day, you can reasonably expect to visit the whirlpool, including a ride on the Spanish cable car, the Butterfly Conservatory, the Brock Memorial at Queenston Heights, the Floral Clock at the power plants, the casino, and the Skylon Tower, with plenty of time left over to see the falls if you really want to. Take advantage of the bus that shuttles between many of these attractions.
Maid of the Mist VII approaching the Horseshoe Falls.
During one of our visits, the weather turned stormy late in the day. When we heard thunder in the distance, we went inside for dinner in the restaurant that overlooks the falls. As entertainment, we enjoyed watching people run for cover when the rain storm began!

Q. I am a recent VA employee and would like to contribute as much as possible. I have maxed out the TSP and from my understanding, since TSP isn’t an IRA, does that mean I can make contributions outside of the TSP as well?
A. You may be eligible to contribute to an IRA, in addition to contributing to your TSP, but it depends upon a number of factors, including your tax filing status and your income. I suggest that you consult a tax accountant, review IRS Publication 590, and/or use one of the many IRA contribution calculators available from reputable sources on the Internet.

Hot and beautiful Latinas are who is being featured in Hot Movies' "Latina" section. There's just something about a Latina, isn't there? Can't really narrow it down. It's horny much sex they ooze. The lust and the horniness, right? Hot Movies is hoping to bring out that lust these girls have for you through their array of premium porn videos. These porn videos are done a little differently than you might see on other premium porn sites.
It's a little hard to decide just how high and mighty Hot Movies should sit because of how dated their content is (in a way). It's still good, yeah, but is it enough to make people flock to it like Latina with her ass out?
Design - Pretty unique
Hot Movies has a very nice design. I say this because of how unique it is in terms of how it can show you things without you needing to visit the dedicated page for a set movie. On my computer, Hot Movies' Latina section is pretty standard. I'm seeing the title of the films, who's involved, and some interactable buttons for liking or disliking. The titles take up the center of my screen and there are pages to flip through.
Hovering over these titles shows me a little pop-up. This pop-up window shows me a rolling video of the scene previews (they call them "Clips"). That's a little different considering it takes you through all of them if you just sit there hovering. You click on the rolling clip itself to go to the movie page or you can click "play." This button shows me a quick preview of the movie so I can decide if I want to see more or not.
The actual page for a movie is set up quite nicely, too. The movie's cover is off on my right and looks great. Off to the side are the movie's information and a clickable preview video. As I go down, I see information for just purchasing minutes for a single clip or I can click the larger button above that to buy minutes for the movie as a whole.
On my phone, Hot Movies looks good, too. I'm impressed with how they've decided to bring these cool features on a computer to a phone. Tapping on a movie cover on my phone brings up the pop-up window when I'd hover on my computer. I can either click "play" to watch a quick preview or I can tap on the clip itself to go to the movie's dedicated page. And that page looks good, too, on mobile. Things don't feel too overcrowded given what they're working with.
Content - Delicious Latina Porn
You look at Hot Movies and you head over to its Latina section for what? Latina porn, of course. In terms of its content, that's exactly what you're getting in so many different ways. I do feel that the way Hot Movies initially shows off its Latina porn is a little backward.
The content is deceiving at first. I'm seeing these porn videos and they're quite old. Some are from 2005 and 2010, and I'm thinking, "what's going on?" I know damn well there are so many Latina pornstars and porn videos coming out. Why aren't there any that are up to date? Hot Movies starts you off with "most popular" titles first. It's a little odd to see that being shown first when this website continuously updates its catalog per week.
Regardless, even Hot Movies' more recent Latina porn movies are pretty damn good. They have movies featuring some of the best, most popular Latina pornstars in the industry right now. That's a huge highlight. Of course, you might find some that you aren't familiar with but even that's a good thing on its own. There are also porn movies here from studios and genres you may not be too interested in, I'm not, but it's that inclusion of so much that makes their Latina porn feel that it's worth looking at.
From spinners to juicy Latinas (The Positives)
A standout for me with Hot Movies' Latina section is their attention to including well-known, popular pornstars. Sometimes, you'll find premium sites that won't have many of the popular stars. This just comes down to money and getting them to work with the site. Hot Movies has found this way of incorporating everything: popular Latinas and amateur girls. It's also found a way of mixing in other genres of porn within the Latina section. It's all Latina porn but with other kinks and fetishes tossed in.
I've got to mention the design of the website. Not its overall aesthetic considering it's nothing too spectacular. But the way Hot Movies was able to figure out the best route to bringing its desktop features over the phones. I've seen sites that try and it looks terrible. Other sites don't even take the initiative to make a quality mobile formatted website. Hot Movies brings in video previews (a major plus) for every clip in that movie.
Previews could work fine with just this overall view of the movie but Hot Movies, breaking it down, lets you see each section as a tease to get you interested in it.
She's so sweet (The Negatives)
There aren't "negatives" about Hot Movies' Latina porn. It's more about a suggestion to make things a little clearer.
Perky Titties (My Suggestions)
It would serve Hot Movies well to lead off with its most recently added Latina porn movies. I'd also say to do this with every category because this just makes the most sense. Show people what is new before throwing them into the most popular ones. These popular ones, while they are most likely very good, are from years ago - at least, in the Latina section. It's a little weird to see such old movies on a premium porn site and then realize, "oh, these are the most popular ones."
I would even venture to suggest splitting up the page. Make it a bit longer going down and show both recently added Latina porn and the most popular ones. Give people more to look at without having to dip into the filtering tab.
Hot Movies' Latina porn section is like tasting deliciousness. These girls look stellar and the quality of the videos is pretty decent, too. Hot Movies provides well-made clip previews to ensure they can rope you into an evening with one of these girls
. The company brings in popular Latina pornstars from spinners to girls with fat asses.

Hammocks, remote working, hot-desking. Contrary to common belief, these aren’t the only conversations landlords are having with designers on how to approach their workspaces for today’s tenants. Rising property values, the growth of flexible offices and political uncertainty have forced landlords to change the way they market their properties to respond to the demands of occupiers. And with no sign of London’s commercial office marketplace calming in the near future, the need for landlords to remain flexible and create channels of communication with their tenants, remains strong.
The power shift
The landlord and tenant relationship has changed. Not too long ago, the tenant was at the landlord’s mercy, but thanks to the rise in flexible working and serviced office providers, tenants are now in the driving seat, enjoying greater choice and shorter leases to retain flexibility and attractive rent options.
The demand for flexibility comes not least because the UK is a nation of SMEs – they represent 99% of all UK businesses and, in London, they account for just over half of all private sector jobs. These companies want the freedom to be agile, especially in a time of uncertainty.
With all this market change, comes the need for change in how workplaces are designed, for both the landlord and tenant. A concept pioneered by our industry to respond to the shift in the market is Cat A+. This model represents a middle ground between Cat A – an empty space finished to an industrial standard, typically implemented for a landlord who wants to market a blank canvas, and Cat B – a full refurbishment of an existing workspace, instructed by the tenant.
The Cat A+ model is driven by a landlord but almost as comprehensive in design as a tenant’s fit-out instruction might be. It eliminates the need for rent-free periods and offers a ‘plug and play’ space with full functionality, including data fibre and cabling. This provides an alternative solution to businesses, especially SMEs, that may not have the budget for a high-tech office renovation, and for which co-working or flexible offices may previously have been the only options.
Although Cat A+ requires more up-front investment from the investor, developer or landlord, this new model eliminates the need for rent-free periods because the space is ready to go from day one. Another benefit of this approach for both parties is, at the end of the tenancy, dilapidations becomes easier, cheaper and far less contentious. It’s also less wasteful as there’s no need to remove everything and return the space to a blank canvas.
Cat A+ is gaining in popularity. Fund Manager, Columbia Threadneedle Investments recently applied the Cat A+ concept across its portfolio, following a successful leasing of its Copthall Avenue property, which pioneered ThirdWay Interiors’ Cat A+ design.
David Dalrymple, Asset Manager at Columbia Threadneedle Investments comments on the change of tenants’ needs: “We are attracting tenants who are seeking independence and more identity as their businesses mature; some of which are wanting to move away from co-working and traditional serviced offices into their own space. However, many are not in the position to fund a refurbishment or simply do not want the hassle of designing and managing their own fit-out, so we are well positioned in offering our Cat A+ turn-key solution. Our tenants benefit from the plug and play setup that a co-working space could have provided but they don’t have to share their meeting rooms, breakouts or front door with anyone else.”
The level in which commercial real estate specialists understands their tenants is changing. A current example of this is MYO – launched by Landsec. MYO approaches flexible working differently, solely focusing on the customer and encouraging its individual and creative spirit, whilst offering tenants WeWork-style all-inclusive leases. From offering a selection of fit-outs to supporting them with the small things like IT problems, they have the tenant front of mind and allow them to focus on what’s most important, their business. By providing tenants the reassurance of a big company with the flexibility of a start-up, MYO is set to disrupt the flexible office marketplace even further. Their first project in Victoria, in collaboration with Soda and ThirdWay Architecture, is set to open in April.
In order to better understand how people use working spaces, landlords are also seeing to leverage technology platforms to capture their tenants’ behaviours within the buildings. An example of this is a recently launched platform, We Are Savvy, which focuses on helping landlords improve the tenant experience within buildings by the creating vertical communities based round a provision of services.
The proptech app enables landlords to analyse and react to occupier changes and facilitate the smarter, more efficient use of space for businesses, whilst delivering an enhanced customer experience. The combination of smart building analytics and a community platform, provides landlords with an intelligent tool that can understand occupier behaviours, allowing them to react to their needs. A win win situation for both the landlord and tenant.
Whilst savvy landlords are responding to these market changes, ultimately, the pressure is on them to innovate in order to to maintain a competitive edge, compete with flexible office providers, and attract and retain tenants.
Ben Gillam is the owner of Third Way Interiors.

It's snowing outside! But I don't think it is cold enough to have a white christmas overhere in Germany! What about you?
When I saw the current sketch over at Sketch Saturday I knew I wanted to make a card based on it. And I still needed some christmas cards! AND it's been a long time since I used a fox! So this was how the card started to come together!
- Color the fox and fuzzy cut it!
- Stamp and emboss the background and the sentiment on an extra stripe of cardstock!
- Add some ribbon!
- Assemble the card!
- I think a sketch is a great way to start a card! If you are a CAS stamper just like me look for sketches with not to many details and clutter! Or ask yourself which details you can leave out!
- The fox was a little too small for the sketch! So I needed something extra to make him the focal point! Christine sent me those snowflakes (Can you believe? These are the left overs from the stencils) and they are just perfect for this because they don't take attention away from the fox!!
- In the sketch there was a banner behind the main panel! I wanted to do something different! I have a lot of ribbon in my stash but I am not a big fan of big bows anymore! I think this is a great way to use up some ribbon!
There is a lot going on behind the curtain! Don't forget to check the blog the next week! There are great things coming you don't want to miss!
Do you like to use sketches? What kind of challenge do you like?

Pew Report Finds Internet Users More Socially Engaged
People who use the Internet are more likely to actively participate in group social activities compared to non-internet users, according to a new report from the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project entitled “The Social Side of the Internet.”
According to the report 75% of Americans are actively taking part in some type of voluntary group. Looking only at Web users this number rises to 80% compared with 56% of non-Internet users. The survey found that Internet has great impact on people’s engagement with civic, social and religious groups.
People believe the Internet has helped make voluntary groups better organized and therefore more effective. Over 60% of Internet users said that the Internet has a major impact on the ability of groups to communicate with their members, to bring attention to issues, and to connect with other groups. Around 64% of web users are of the opinion that Internet has a strong impact on the ability of groups to impact society at large. The similar percentage of people said that ability to organize group activities is highly impacted by the net. The percentage goes down when it comes to the Internet’s impact on the ability of groups to raise money, recruit new members, and find people to take leadership roles.
According to Pew, social media users are taking the lead among population of Inetrnet users when it comes to engagement with social organizations, with 82% of social network users and 85% of Twitter users participating in groups. Social media platforms are widely used by groups and their members as tools for interaction and information sharing. 48% of surveyed people that are active members of groups said that those groups have a page on a social networking site like Facebook.
Some 65% of social network users say they read messages and updates on social sites about groups in which they are active, and 30% say they have posted news about their groups. The percentages are similar among Twitter users, with 63% following group updates and 21% posting news about their group. Social media users are more likely than other group participants who go online for group activities, to say that the internet has a “major impact” on their ability to engage with their groups.
Blogs are also very common tools that groups use to communicate with their members and spread their message. The Pew’s report shows that 30% of those who are active in groups say those groups have their own blog.
According to the report, Internet users are not only more active in social groups but are also more likely to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment about their contributions.

Diabetes increases the risk of frailty through inducing sarcopenia or muscle mass loss. Frailty eventually leads to a decline in function, increased risk of hypoglycaemia and mortality. Prevention programmes in the pre-frail state through exercise training, nutrition and glycaemic control may delay or prevent the development of frailty.
|BOX 1: FRAILTY PHENOTYPES5|
|1. Unintentional weight loss (10lbs in the prior year)|
|2. Exhaustion (self-reported)|
|3. Weakness (grip strength)|
|4. Slow walking speed|
|5. Reduced physical activity|
|Presence of ≥3 phenotypes indicates frailty, 1-2 indicates pre-frail state.|
The prevalence of diabetes in old age is likely to reach epidemic proportions in the upcoming years as the population ages.1 The age range with the greatest proportional increase is likely to occur in those aged 60–79 years.2 In these individuals we can see that alongside the micro/macrovascular complications of diabetes, frailty appears to be another complicating factor.3
Frailty is a condition characterised by a reduction in physiological reserve and a lack of ability to resist physical or psychological stressors.4 Its definition is based on the presence of three or more of the following phenotypes: difficulties in mobility and slow gait speed; muscle weakness; decreased physical activity.; exhaustion and weight loss.5 The presence of one or two of these phenotypes describes a pre-frail state (box 1). Frailty is regarded as a wasting disease, characterised by sarcopenia or muscle loss, primarily due to poor nutrition and weight loss. This is a fundamental concept and is intrinsically linked with diabetes.
The biological processes that underpin frailty are still unclear and likely to be complex and multifactorial. Frailty is thought to develop as a result of abnormalities at a molecular, cellular, and physiological level. The physiological systems believed to be associated with frailty are the cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, metabolic, immune and nervous systems.6 Further to this, frailty has also been shown to be associated with exaggerated glucose and insulin responses after two-hour oral glucose tolerance test in individuals without diabetes. This suggests that these individuals have reduced physiologic reserve, and dysregulation of glycaemic control is a component of the physiological vulnerability associated with frailty.7
Poor muscle quality is also linked to diabetes. Participants with diabetes in the CHIANTI study had lower knee and ankle muscle strength and poor muscle quality (defined as the ratio of lower limb muscle strength over muscle area) and slower gait speed on both four metre and 400-metre walking tests compared to participants without diabetes. Lower-limb muscle characteristics accounted for 24.3% and 15.1% of walking speed differences in persons with diabetes compared to those without diabetes in the 4 and 400 metre walks, respectively8 (Figure 1).
Sarcopenia or muscle mass loss is a contributor to the frailty syndrome, which seems to be accelerated when diabetes is present. In a community study of 3,153 participants ≥65 years of age, appendicular lean mass loss in men with diabetes was twice that of men without diabetes (3.0% versus 1.5%) and in women with diabetes was 1.8 times that of those without diabetes (3.4% versus 1.9%) over four years of follow up. The mechanisms explaining these results may be related to reduced protein synthesis due to lower testosterone and insulin like growth factor 1, and increased muscle protein breakdown due to a higher rate of inflammation.9
Diabetes also causes sarcopenia due to the catabolic effect of insulin deficiency, and by increasing intra-myocellular lipid accumulation.10 In another study, older persons with type 2 diabetes had accelerated decline in leg lean mass, muscle strength, and had longer sit-to-stand time compared to normoglycaemic controls.11 Other factors may be related to the oral health of older people with diabetes. For example, optimal nutrition may not be maintained due to poor dentition, a dry mouth, reduced taste sensation, palatability and appetite change with increasing age (Figure 1).12
The emergence of frailty will have a negative impact on older people with diabetes, leading to reduced physical and cognitive functions, increased risk of hypoglycaemia and increased mortality.
Frailty is associated with a functional decline that leads to increased risk of falls, hospitalisation, dependency, disability and institutionalisation.8 Frail persons have increased risk of poor mobility and impaired performance of activities of daily living.13 Frailty is also associated with increased risk of cognitive dysfunction.14 Frailty therefore appears to be a contributing factor for decline in both physical and cognitive functions that ultimately leads to disability and difficulties in performing self-care tasks.
The weight loss associated with frailty may increase insulin sensitivity and improve glucose tolerance due to the loss of visceral fat. The development of frailty may improve insulin sensitivity, due to changes in insulin/glucose dynamics. Poor nutrition and weight loss will however lead to increased risk of hypoglycaemia. Chronic diseases associated with protein energy malnutrition, muscle wasting and frailty have been shown to be associated with spontaneous resolution of hyperglycaemia and normalisation of HbA1c levels, a condition termed ‘‘burnt out diabetes.’’15
The mortality events observed in the ACCORD and ADVANCE studies were not directly explained by the high rate of hypoglycaemia, but were due to the vulnerability of the populations who suffered from such events.16,17 Other studies that demonstrated an increased risk of mortality in older people with low HbA1c showed evidence of increased inflammation and malnutrition. These findings are suggestive of a population with poor general health and likely with underlying frailty.18 Therefore, frailty is likely to be a causative unmeasured factor leading to these adverse events, and hypoglycaemia is the marker of frailty, vulnerability and poor outcome (Figure 2).
|FIGURE 2: Relationship Between Diabetes and Frailty: Consequences|
|REDUCED FUNCTION||HYPOGLYCAEMIA||INCREASED MORTALITY|
|↓ Physical function||Malnutrition||↑ Vunerability to stressors|
|↓ Cognitive function||Weight loss||Poor nutrition|
|↑ Disability||Muscle wasting||↑ Inflammation|
|↑ Hospitalisation||↓ Visceral fat||↓ Immunity|
|↑ Institutionalisation||Improved insulin sensitivity||Poor general health|
Frailty is a dynamic process, and can be prevented in the pre-frail state. Once frailty is established, particularly in patients who have had significant weight loss, hypoglycaemic medications need to be regularly reviewed to reduce the risk of hypoglycaemia (Figure 3).
|Relation Between Diabetes and Frailty: Therapeutic Implications|
|High protein nutrition|
|Good glycaemic control|
|Deintensification in high risk patients|
Sarcopenia occurs because of a loss of skeletal muscle protein due to diminished protein synthesis. Therefore, increasing dietary protein intake to 20–30% of the total calorie intake is recommended.19 It has recently been shown that nutritional therapy in diabetes may have a protective effect against the development of frailty.20 Progressive resistance training (PRT) exercise combined with adequate protein nutrition have synergistic effects in improving muscle function and reducing the risk of frailty.21
The role of tight glycaemic control in the prevention of disability is less clear. Some studies have shown that tight glycaemic control may have a role in delaying frailty and disability, although this has not been demonstrated in other studies and it may in fact lead to increased risk of hypoglycaemia, falls, fractures and eventually disability.22,23,24
|BOX 2: HYPOGLYCAEMIC MEDICATION DEINTENSIFICATION WITH FRAILTY26|
Once frailty is established the risk of hypoglycaemia significantly increases. Therefore, blood glucose targets in frail older people should aim to avoid extremes of high or low that can lead to recurrent hospitalisation and reduced quality of life. A focus on the short-term blood glucose targets is more appropriate given the short life expectancy in this group of patients. A comfortable day-to-day target of a random blood glucose between >4 but <15 mmol/L seems to be suitable to avoid the development of symptoms as blood glucose outside this range is likely to be symptomatic.25
Deintensification or even complete withdrawal of hypoglycaemic agents may be considered in certain patients with frailty. Indications for consideration of withdrawal of hypoglycaemic medications would include patients with significant weight loss, those with tight glycaemic control and recurrent hypoglycaemia or those with dementia and subsequent erratic eating pattern, which can increase the risk of hypoglycaemia (Box 2).26
Diabetes is associated with frailty through increasing the risk of sarcopenia. Screening older people with diabetes at the pre-frail state with consideration of intervention through exercise training, adequate nutrition and glycaemic control may delay the development of frailty. Once frailty is established, consideration should be given to reduction or withdrawal of hypoglycaemic medications especially in those with significant weight loss.

A number of years ago, at a reception for chairs in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I struck up a conversation with a guy I'd seen around campus for a long time, but had never really met. Tongues loosened by drink, we had a nice chat. As it turned out, he was a highly distinguished scholar, who at the time was chairing the department of political science, housed in the same building as my own department, history, but a floor down. We found that we had a lot to talk about — including some common intellectual interests — and joked about the fact that though we had both been at UNC for a long time, working in close proximity, we had never really crossed paths.
Before leaving the get-together, we effected the hail-fellow-well-met routine, and promised to keep in touch. We even made noises about touching base with the chair of sociology, also housed in our building -- on the two floors beneath political science -- to see if he might be interested in co-hosting a building-wide party of some sort so that faculty from our three departments could get to know each other a bit better.
Unfortunately, that was the last time I had a sustained conversation with that political scientist. His term as chair ended the following spring, and he went on leave. Chairing a large department kept me busy, and neither of us ever got around to talking to the chair of sociology about a building-wide get -together.
Whenever I’ve thought about this -- admittedly only sporadically, since I’ve moved on to other administrative posts -- I've sensed lost opportunities. All three of the departments housed in our building are highly ranked in the social sciences, and a quick look at faculty CVs suggests that many members in the units share research interests. Alas, there is little contact between and among units, a kind of vertical segregation informing Hamilton Hall.
The lack of interaction among excellent scholars with similar interests raises some organizational questions with important implications: Why cluster faculty members into departmental ghettos any longer? Why not allow voluntary mixing and matching -- especially in cognate disciplines? Electronic communications via departmental listservs can provide the unit-specific information needed to keep the trains running on time, and the idea of promoting casual, often spontaneous interaction among scholars with similar research interests, but different methods is at once liberating and exhilarating.
Moreover, because scholars from different disciplines possess different strengths and different forms of proprietary knowledge, chances for the kind of intellectual arbitrage and cross-disciplinary collaborations that make for innovative breakthroughs would be enhanced. Few of the world’s major problems are best approached from a single disciplinary perspective, yet research universities generally sequester their best talent along departmental lines.
In this regard, it is telling that of all the academic conferences I regularly attend, the annual meeting of the Social Science History Association is the one that most gets my creative juices flowing. Why? Because that meeting -- at its best -- represents a true cross-disciplinary conversation, with panels comprising members from mixes of the social sciences approaching common problems via different research protocols and formal methodologies. One panel may feature a geographer, a criminologist, a sociologist, and an economist looking at crime in early modern Europe, while another may consist of a historian, an anthropologist, a demographer, and a political scientist dealing with changes in fertility levels in sub-Saharan African since World War II.
While panelists sometimes talk past one another, they more frequently open up everyone’s eyes and expand people’s brains. In either case, the panels are almost always better than listening to four overly specialized historians drone on about one or another obscure topic at a dreary panel at a meeting of a historical association. With this in mind, why not encourage cross-disciplinary commingling by situating faculty members from different disciplines in the same corridor?
To be sure, there are other ways to accomplish the same cross-disciplinary ends. GE has long tasked research teams in various parts of the world with the same engineering problems, periodically bringing together the disparate groups -- each from a different research culture and each with a different M.O. — to share ideas and learn from one another. Stanford’s highly acclaimed Bio-X complex, which brought together into one setting chemists, physicists, engineers, and medical doctors to work on complex interdisciplinary problems, famously sacrificed laboratories rather than a shared cafeteria during a funding shortfall in order to make sure that possibilities for intellectual trespassing and boundary crossing — the whole idea behind Bio-X — would be facilitated.
And, of course, one can take up the ideas of people such as Michael Crow and Mark Taylor and radically reconfigure departmental units, but I’m not willing to go that far. Traditional departments -- and disciplinary cultures -- still have their virtues. By mixing up the offices of smart people at large, complex research universities -- by changing institutional arrangements in other words — we can at the margin help nudge faculty members into creative realms they might otherwise not know to explore.
The faculty locker room at the university gym -- where lockers are assigned randomly -- shouldn’t be the only place at a research university to converse regularly with a colleague from another discipline.

Hey Internet, it's almost one of the most romantic days of the year, so I wanted to give you a great last minute dessert recipe for Gluten-Free Vegan Cheesecake Bites! These delicious heart-shaped bites are too cute and also too delicious (to eat just one!).
These ones are made with (frozen) strawberries, but you can use any fruit you like! They would be especially lovely with blueberries, raspberries, or even mango! But strawberries seem to be a popular romantic fruit.
That's fine with me because I LOVE strawberries. And because they're so popular during this time of year, they've been on sale at all the markets around me, so I am serving these with fresh strawberries.
However, since I recognize not everyone has that access, this recipe is made with frozen fruit. If you would like to use fresh, I'd recommend freezing it first, otherwise the consistency may not work.
These cute little bites are great for any time of the year! You can make them in a mini muffin dish for the cutest mini cheesecakes ever!
Guess what else? You'll only need 8 ingredients (plus water) to make them!
Ingredients for Cheesecake Bites
So I mentioned you'd need the frozen fruit of your choice. I used strawberries in this cakes, but any should work.
For the filling you'll also need some coconut cream. Remember before that we've discussed coconut cream as being coconut milk's thicker cousin.
You can find coconut cream online or in the international section of your grocery store. If you cannot find it, you may substitute the same amount of soaked cashews (drain them before adding to the blender).
For that cheesecake tang you'll also need a little lemon juice. You can substitute lime juice or apple cider vinegar, if you'd like.
To get everything to blend, you'll need a few tablespoons of nondairy milk. Any will work--I used almond since I had it on hand.
For sweetness I used maple syrup in the filling. You can substitute any liquid sweetener like agave or date syrup. If using a non-liquid sweetener, you may need to add another tablespoon or two of nondairy milk.
Now, the thing that really helps the cheesecake set: agar powder (or agar agar). I used this recently in my vegan cheddar cheese recipe.
Agar powder (also known as agar agar) is naturally gelatinous powder derived from marine red algae. It doesn’t taste like anything and is a magical ingredient.
You can find agar online of course, in some baking or International sections (think Japanese food) of your local supermarket, probably in any health food store (Whole Foods carries it),
NOTE: This recipe uses agar POWDER, not flakes. I've heard that basically, one tablespoon of agar flakes is equal to one teaspoon of agar powder. So if you can only find the flakes, use this rule to modify the amount of agar in this recipe.
All you'll have to do with it is dissolve it in boiling water, but we'll talk about that in a little bit.
As an aside, you may be able to substitute the agar with corn starch or arrowroot powders as they are thickeners, however, I have not tested it. If you test it, let us know in the comments below so that others can benefit from your experiment!
Now let's talk about the crust--it's only 2 ingredients AND it's nut-free!
You'll need dates and rolled (old fashioned) oats to make this recipe. If your dates are not mushy or sticky, soak them for 10 minutes in very hot water, then drain them well. In either case, make sure to pit your dates before processing. :)
How to Make the Bites
Let's now talk about how to make these cute vegan cheesecake bites. To start things off, make the crust first.
If the mixture is too sticky (i.e. it's sticking to your fingers), add just a few more oats (like a half tablespoon a time--it's easy to do too much and start a vicious cycle of more of each ingredient until you have twice the crust you need… don't ask how I know).
If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, add more pitted dates ONE AT A TIME. Test often to make sure you have the right consistency.
Now add the crust into each little section of your pan. For mine, I used about 1 teaspoon of dough rolled into a little ball. then I pressed it to fill the bottom half of each slot.
Press it well with your fingers and try to make it smooth. Enlist the help of spouses or children if you'd like (that's Mr. Zardyplants' hand, haha).
This sounds arduous but the whole process of making the cheesecakes takes about 5-10 minutes. Then you just have to play the waiting game while it sets in the fridge.
While the water heats up, let's make the filling. Toss your strawberries, lemon juice, coconut cream, nondairy milk, and maple syrup into the blender and give it a little blend (you don't have to be super thorough just yet). Taste it and add more maple syrup or lemon juice if desired.
Your water should now be to a boil. Sprinkle in the agar powder and whisk it in the boiling water for 1-2 minutes until the clumps have disappeared. You may want to use an oven mitt for this.
Then turn down the heat to medium and whisk it for another few minutes until the powder is fully dissolved. You'll notice that the solution has thickened somewhat.
Use a spatula to get all of the agar mixture into the blender. Now blend it well until smooth and fully combined. Quickly taste again and make sure the flavors are good for you.
Using a small spoon or spatula (I used both to try and be as neat and efficient as I could), take around 1 teaspoon of the mixture at a time and fill each heart.
As mentioned before, I made these in my Wilton Silicone Mini Heart Pan, but you can use a mini muffin tin (a regular muffin tin may also work). If you are using a silicone pan, I recommend placing it on a solid metal pan so that you can keep the filling stable while transporting the pan.
If you are using a different pan, you may need more or less filling per slot. Since this doesn't rise in the oven or anything like that, you can fill it to the top.
Try to level it off with your spatula or the back of your spoon to make for a smooth appearance when it's set. Clean up the pan a little if desired.
Now Play the Waiting Game
Put the pan in the refrigerator for at least 6-8 hours or overnight (preferable). Go do things. Read a book, play a game, watch a movie, or sleep if you're someone who needs that (I'm a robot, right? Maybe.).
If you're short on time, freeze them for a few hours, then take them out and thaw about 10 minutes before you'd like to serve them.
Getting Them Out of the Pan
When it comes to getting them out of the pan, a butter knife run around the edge helps a lot. For the silicone pan, you'll be able to push them out from the bottom (carefully).
For the metal pan, you may need to either use a long strip of parchment paper (that sticks up on either side like a tab to grab and pull out the bite), or you may choose to grease the tin.
Serving the Bites
I served up these cuties with fresh strawberries and a little bit of nondairy whipped cream! My favorite is the Coconut Reddi Whip from the supermarket. The almond is good too!
You could also drizzle these with melted chocolate (like chocolate dipped strawberries!), serve them with some nondairy ice cream, or with some wine (or nonalcoholic sparkling juice like me lol). Or all of the above. No judgement.
They make great a great party dish or potluck dessert, too!
As always, I hope you love this recipe!

In this day and age, wedding invitations have moved on in leaps and bounds and the possibilities are endless in terms of the direction and theme you want to adopt when inviting people to the big day. However, this process also represents an early relationship tester.
The first bone of contention in what should be the happiest day of your life is just who to invite. Deciding on numbers and the split between day to night guests is always a sticking point. As we all know, the more people you invite, the more expensive the day becomes.
Long lost family (we hardly see), relatives (we don’t actually like), the wife’s family is bigger than the groom’s or vice versa and we must try for equal numbers. These are all considerations we have to take into account before deciding on the numbers.
Pub friends, work mates, invite friend A and, all of a sudden, friends B, C, D and E have to be invited. How often is it we hear the words “we have to invite them all, or none of them”?
Then comes the massive grey area – children or no children. Traditionally, weddings are no children affairs. They were always time for the adults to have a relaxing weekend without their nippers crying, screaming and running amok. That is all well and good until a close family member of the bride or groom has children and then where do you draw the line?
Anyway – less of the doom and gloom. Invitations have moved on so much in recent times that once you have decided on the numbers along with just who to invite, it’s plain sailing.
“Save the dates” cards are available in many shapes and sizes, themes and colours. Why not personalise them with messages and pictures? Also, have you thought about magnets for individuality and safe keeping? After all, we all have a fridge to pin them on and they can be sent as soon as the date has been confirmed. Just so long as you know who you want to save the date.
The actual invites can follow the original theme with ease and evening invites are also available to send separately for the relaxed guests who turn up sociably late and don’t do smart or formal.
It’s impossible to make the invitation process any easier in terms of working out who should come to the wedding and at what stage of proceedings. However, the invitations themselves are much easier to organise – although you may find you’re spoilt for choice.

Paying for college remains the toughest part of the struggle to earn a degree. Recently college fee has inflated to an extent that isn’t affordable to many people. Despite being expensive, it is still extremely important that after high school one joins college or university for further studies. College education sharpens abilities to fit in a given career. Keep reading to know some tips and ideas that will help in paying for college.
It is every parent’s goal to have his son/daughter get all the best in life. Many parents prefer giving their children a chance to learn. Some parents can do anything to fund the children’s education. Due to the increase in college fees, the following tips will help parents and students are able to fund his/her college education:
1. Apply for a scholarship
A scholarship is a grant to students’ education mostly awarded on the basis of academics and other achievements. After graduating from high school start as early as possible to apply for scholarships. Most of the organizations offering scholarships operate on a first come, first served basis. The earlier you apply, the more you are likely to get a chance. Research for organizations granting scholarships to students and make sure to apply. Never should you let a chance go without applying before you have been confirmed to have been awarded scholarship by another organization. You may be fortunate to obtain a full sponsorship, which means that your sponsor will cater for everything you need in your studies.
2. Student loan
In many states, the government offers loans for higher education that is college and university education. These loans are meant to help students who cannot be able to raise all that is required during their study. Part of the loan granted is sent to the institute as tuition fee and the remaining is deposited to the student’s account for upkeeps. After the completion of your education, you will be expected to pay back the loan once you are employed. The most enjoyable thing with students’ loan is that you are required to pay back after you have been employed. Apply for these student aid loans once you get admitted to college. The earlier you apply, the better since when the number of applicants is beyond what the government intends to grant help they take advantage of the time to decide who to grant this loan and who not to.
3. Save money
This is the best way since the others may fail, but if you had earlier saved money in preparation for taking your child to college or university. Money saved isn’t like students aids, once you save you don’t have to do some applications. If you want to invest in educating your child, you need to start preparing early. The earlier you start saving the better as you will have saved amounts that can afford funding his/her college education. You can start saving for his/her higher education while he/she is still young.
4. Part-time jobs
When at the college you aren’t limited to time. If your class schedule can allow you to work go ahead. Get a part-time job instead of just having to spend all the time you are out of class with your friends. A part-time job may be unable to fully fund your education, but it helps to have money for upkeep. As you work, let best assignment service do your tasks to avoid last hour rush and poor grades. This is, in addition, a good head start for your career since after completing your course your current employer may still be your potential employer. Part-time jobs help you develop a network with other professionals in your field of specialization.
5. Make your boss, your sponsor
If you are working in an organization and you want to advance your studies go on and ask for help from your boss. Many organizations offer sponsorship to their team as they know barely after advancing your studies you will still be working with them. Even if you are a parent looking forward to taking your son/daughter to college the company you are working with can offer some financial aid.
6. Friends and family
Sometimes you may get stuck and fail to have the required amount to fund for his/her education. Your friends will help you pay for college. Don’t take to educate him/her as a personal deal, involve people who are close to you. Never should you let your child miss education while there are still people who can support you educate him/her.
