What is Piles?
When the pressure on the veins in the rectal region increases, they swell. These swellings resemble a bag of worms and refer to as Piles or Haemorrhoids. The term Haemorrhoids is more used in the American continent. Piles or Hemorrhoid is also the ultimate penalty we pay as a result of our evolution that has made us walk upright.
More About Piles or Haemorrhoids
Types of Piles
There are two types of piles, namely, internal piles and external piles. Internal piles are more common than external piles.
Internal Piles
When this swelling is present internally within the anus, on the anal lining, they are termed as internal piles. They form slightly above a line called the dentate line or pectinate line. The entire anal canal is divided into an upper two-third portion and a lower one-third portion by this dentate or pectinate line. They precisely form between 2 and 4 centimeters above the anal opening. There are four grades of Internal Piles.
External Piles
When this swelling is present externally outside the anus, precisely beneath the skin that surrounds the anus, they are termed as external piles.
Grade-1 Internal Piles
The piles condition is fresh and asymptomatic and is present internally above the pectinate line. Pain does not manifest at this budding grade of piles. Just that the veins that are facing the intense pressure are beginning to show symptoms of piles. The patient rarely feels discomfort at this stage. Some patients might experience itching and discomfort
Grade-2 Internal Piles
The piles condition begins to experience something called "prolapsed". Prolapse is nothing but the veins becoming weak and beginning to move out of the anal canal. The secondary grade piles condition is painful. The prolapsed veins move up inside or reverse into the anal canal spontaneously. The patient feels discomfort and itching at this stage.
Grade-3 Internal Piles
This condition or grade is when the prolapsed veins become more painful and cause more discomfort because the spontaneous reversal or reduction of the prolapsed veins does not happen. However, the patient can manually push the prolapsed veins inside.
Grade-4 Internal Piles
This final condition or grade is where the prolapsed piles cannot be pushed inside the anal canal manually also. The piles hang outside and causes immense pain and discomfort.
Though internal piles are generically classified as per the above grades, the clinical classification based on what the Piles specialist or Proctologist observes can be classified rather differently. These can be called stages and each stage is characterized by how piles manifest further.
Clinical Classification of Four Stages of Internal Piles
Stage-1 Internal Piles
Proctoscopy shows that the piles veins occupy only less than 25% of the lumen.. Simply put, piles veins are beginning to appear to the piles surgeon upon observation.
Stage-2 Internal Piles
During the proctoscopy session with the patient, if the piles specialist observes that the lumen of the proctoscope is occupied 25% by the veins of piles, then it can be categorized as Stage-2.
Stages-3 Internal Piles
Similarly, if the lumen of the proctoscope is 50% occupied by the veins of piles during proctoscopy by piles specialist, then it is Stage-3. Additionally, the prolapse of the vein could be clearly observed by the piles surgeon and the surgeon could also confirm that the vein tuft automatically goes in.
Stages-4 Internal Piles
In this stage, the lumen of proctoscope is completely accumulated by veins of piles. The prolapse of the vein also takes place and it needs to be pushed inside manually. In this stage, the veins cease to prolapse automatically inside.
Complicated Piles
The extreme end stage of the internal piles is termed as complicated piles. The veins are fully thrombosed and are completely prolapsed. Manually pushing the veins inside is absolutely not possible in this stage and it is extremely painful for the patients at this stage.
Dr. Maran M on Internal Piles Classification
Dr. Maran, a Piles surgeon in Chennai treats piles and does piles surgery in Chennai regularly observes that if anyone has pain or any discomfort in the anal region, they have to immediately consult. If they see any droplet of blood in the stools it is best to consult a good Piles surgeon or a Proctologist. The diagnosis to rule out the cause for blood in the stool is absolutely necessary. Because sometimes it may not be piles or fissures, it can be something else also. So Dr. Maran always advices to take blood in stool with extra caution and suggests to visit a piles specialist sooner.
General Symptoms of Piles
(1) Spots of blood in the stool
(2) Pain when passing the stool. The pain can range from mild to severe depending on the severity of the piles.
(3) An itchy sensation around the anus.
(4) In severe cases of piles, a hard lump lies hanging from the anal region. This lump may be hanging externally or it can have its origin internally.
(5) A feeling of incomplete evacuation of stools.
Specific Symptoms of Internal Piles
(1) Often it starts as painless bleeding when passing stools. You can observe red spots of blood in your stools. The bleeding is not profuse or uncontrolled. It is just that it is present.
(2) In the next stage, when internal hemorrhoid swells, they can be felt like a lump outside the anus. They can be often pushed back inside.
(3) For the internal hemorrhoids that cannot be pushed back, they get stuck and sometimes it swells even more. This stage requires immediate medical attention.
Specific Symptoms of External Piles
(1) There is a lump of tissue outside the anus. They are often painful and cause bleeding when passing stools.
(2) The tendency for hemorrhoid to develop swelling as it heals is high and this causes more pain.
(3) Increased pain can be felt as the patient with external piles sits or is seated in a toilet.
What is Prolapsed Piles?
The piles condition begins to experience something called "prolapsing". Prolapse is nothing but the rectal mucosa along with the piles blood vessels projecting out are pushed outside the anal canal.
When blood clots inside the veins that have caused piles then they are referred to as thrombosed piles. A thrombosed piles does not have any blood flow due to the clot. They are very painfully though not dangerous. In most cases, it has been observed that thrombosed piles resolve themselves as the clot is reabsorbed by the body. Sometimes it does not and hence requires external intervention by the piles surgeon.
Causes of Piles
There are several factors that cause pressure on the veins in the rectal region. The various factors that cause this pressure are
(1) Constipation - Generally chronic constipation which has been around for quite a few years.
(2) Diarrhea – Chronic in nature
(3) Lifting heavy weights – This becomes a reason when a person uses improper lifting techniques while lifting any kind of weights. Gyms are not the only place where people lift weights. A bucket full of water, LPG cylinder, lifting heavy machinery at work are some of the activities where lifting of weight takes place. Men do most weightlifting in the gym and in the workplace while women lift weights as they perform household chores.
(4) Abdominal Exercises – The exertion of pressure to the anal region when doing abdominal exercises is high and can lead to piles.
(4) Pregnancy – The growing fetus puts pressure on the abdomen cavity which in turn can cause the veins in the anus to swell. Also, women are more prone to constipation due to their pelvic shape. The instance of constipation increases during pregnancy which might also play a role.
(5) Straining while passing stools – This condition is closely tagged to constipation. Straining puts pressure on the veins and hence they are responsible for swelling of the veins in the anal region.
General Diagnosis of Piles
(1) A PIles Surgeon or a Proctologist is the one who does the diagnosis of piles or hemorrhoid. The surgeon initially questions the patients on the symptoms.
(2) The surgeon then proceeds for a physical examination of the anal region. Physical examination involves the surgeon wearing a glove, lubricating your anus and gently pushing his finger inside the anus to look for the presence of any lumps or other abnormal outgrowths. This examination is termed as DRE (Digital Rectal Examination).
(3) In some cases, a physical lump may not be presented and cannot be felt by the surgeon. In such cases, to rule out the possibility, the surgeon would perform a proctoscopy. An instrument that is like a tube called proctoscope is inserted into the anal region and checked for the presence of piles and assessing the grade of it. With this, the surgeon can pinpoint the presence of piles or other medical conditions like tumor growth etc.
(4) The advantage of visiting a surgeon is, he is qualified to rule out other medical and surgical conditions that are causing discomfort or bleeding in the anal region. He may rightly prescribe other diagnosis methods if the medical condition is to rule out to piles.
General Treatment Procedures for Piles
Treatment for piles varies depending on the grade of the piles and also the intensity and status of bleeding.
- As a general measure, if the grade of the piles is 1 or 2, and if bleeding is not persistent and is rare, the piles specialist prescribes over-the-counter laxatives for a few days.
- In grades 2, if the bleeding is a cause to worry, Piles Surgery procedures like Banding or Sclerotherapy are recommended.
- If the grade is 3 or 4 and the bleeding is also a cause of worry, the pile's surgery type recommended is Haemorrhoidectomy.
General Recommendations for Managing Piles
As part of managing piles, the piles specialist would recommend the patient to do the following,
- Include more fiber in the diet.
- Taking steps to reduce their weight (obesity)
- Being physically active.
Piles Surgeries
A surgeon generally recommends surgery for piles or hemorrhoids is when conservative Piles Treatment methods like home remedies, diet, laxatives have failed. The surgeon will also recommend surgery when complications of piles have come. Based on the grade of piles or hemorrhoids there are different types of piles surgery that piles surgeons recommend. The three common types of piles surgery are Rubber Band Ligation (Banding), Sclerotherapy and Haemorrhoidectomy.
Surgery type for piles varies depending on the grade of the piles and also the intensity and status of bleeding.
- If the piles is of grade 2 and if there is bleeding that is worrying, piles surgery procedures like Rubber Band Ligation (also called Rubber Band Ligation or Haemorrhoid Banding) or Sclerotherapy are recommended. Both these surgery types are only for internal piles.
- For grade 3 or 4 piles with bleeding, the surgeon will recommend Haemorrhoidectomy.
- Generally, all prolapsed piles and thrombosed piles require Haemorrhoidectomy surgery.
Types of Piles Surgeries
Rubber Band Ligation
Who is Eligible for Rubber Band Ligation?
For most of the patients with Haemorrhoids or piles, and the grade is 2 and if the piles are above the dentate line, they can be treated by the above Rubber Band Ligation method. This surgical procedure is an outpatient method.
A brief about Rubber Band Ligation Surgical Procedure
- Topical anesthesia is applied in the anal/rectal region if the number of prolapsed or thrombosed piles or the tuft of veins is minimal in number.
- Sometimes if the piles number is many, the piles surgeon might decide to do banding in phases and the procedure may be performed in multiple sittings.
- The piles surgeon then inserts an anoscope into your rectal region and reaches out to the piles. An anoscope is a small tube with a light at the end which is very similar to an endoscope but a miniature one. After this, the piles surgeon inserts a tool called a ligator inside through the anoscope.
- A ligator is a tool that helps in placing very small rubber bands, usually a few millimeters wide, to the base of the haemorrhoids.
How Rubber Band Ligation surgery for piles helps to treat Haemorrhoids?
- The small rubber bands placed to the base of the vein tufts cuts the blood supply to the piles.
- The haemorrhoids then dry without blood supply and then falls off along with the rubber band on its own. Usually, they fall and pass out along with the stools.
- The time take for the haemorrhoids to dry after the rubber bands have been placed may take anywhere from one to two weeks.
What it feels like after undergoing Rubber Band Ligation surgery for piles?
- Slight discomfort can be felt in the bottom region after the procedure. This discomfort might last for a few days.
- Passing gas often is normal after the procedure.
- Slight bleeding might occur when going to the toilet. This is not a cause to worry as it is normal.
- Feeling constipated for a few days is also normal after undergoing this procedure.
What are the advantages of Rubber Band Ligation Surgery for Piles?
- It is generally an outpatient procedure and does not require any hospitalization. The entire treatment time is dependant on the number of rubber bands that are required to be placed.
- The chances of recurrence of haemorrhoids are less in this procedure.
Who is Eligible for Sclerotherapy?
Patients with grade 2 Haemorrhoids or piles are eligible for sclerotherapy surgical procedure. The eligibility is almost equal for both Rubber Band Ligation method and Sclerotherapy. This surgical procedures involved in Sclerotherapy is also an outpatient method. Surgeon prefers banding to sclerotherapy these days.
A brief about Sclerotherapy Surgical Procedure
- This procedure involves injecting a chemical solution into the vein tufts that are causing the piles.
- This chemical basically scars the veins causing the blood vessel of the piles to shrink.
- Even smaller tufts of piles can be treated using sclerotherapy.
How Sclerotherapy surgery for piles helps to treat Haemorrhoids?
- The shrunk piles basically dry up and end up falling and passing out along with the stools.
- The time take for the haemorrhoids to dry after the sclerotherapy procedure has been carried out may take anywhere from four to six weeks.
What it feels like after undergoing Sclerotherapy surgery for piles?
- Mild pain might be there after the procedure. This discomfort and pain might last for a few days and it is quite common.
- Slight bleeding for few days after the procedure is also common.
What are the advantages of Sclerotherapy Surgery for Piles?
- It is also an outpatient procedure and does not require any hospitalization.
- No anesthesia
- The procedure comes in handy for patients with more number of prolapsed piles are found and when they are not large enough for rubber band ligation.
Who is Eligible for Haemorrhoidectomy?
Patients with grade 3 and 4 Haemorrhoids or piles are eligible for Haemorrhoidectomy surgical procedure. In other words, it is a surgery for severe piles. This surgical procedure is recommended only when the piles are large and cannot be treated by rubber band ligation and sclerotherapy methods.
How to prepare for Haemorrhoidectomy Surgical Procedure?
- This procedure is not an outpatient procedure. It is a full blown surgical procedure and requires anesthesia to be administered before the surgery. It can also be done as a day care procedure.
- Your piles surgeon will fix the date for the surgery and usually ask you to avoid food for a few hours before the surgery.
- Your piles surgeon will also review any medications you are taking for any other illness and may instruct you to stop certain medications if need be for the recommended number of days, both before and after the piles surgery. Usually, it is the blood-thinning medications that need to be stopped before any surgery. Your piles surgeon would know better and will advise you appropriately.
A brief about Haemorrhoidectomy Surgical Procedure
- The procedure involves opening the anus and incising the haemorrhoids out.
- Off late more surgeons use sophisticated medical instruments which can perfectly shave off the haemorrhoid tissues from the anal region.
How Haemorrhoidectomy surgery for piles helps to treat Haemorrhoids?
- Since it directly incises the haemorrhoids causing veins, they completely remove them with the surgery.
What it feels like after undergoing Haemorrhoidectomy surgery for piles?
- Pain is a factor after the surgery as the entire haemorrhoid tissues have been completely removed. But this is not a cause to worry because your piles surgeon will prescribe effective pain killers.
- The pain might last a few weeks after the haemorrhoidectomy procedure which is anyways normal.
What are the advantages of Haemorrhoidectomy Surgery for Piles?
- The probability of haemorrhoids returning or recurrence is very less compared to other methods of piles surgery.
- This procedure comes in handy for people with severe piles condition.
Dr Maran on Piles Surgery
Dr Maran, a piles specialist in Chennai, has been routinely performing Piles surgery in Chennai for many years. As one of the best doctor for piles treatment in Chennai, he tells us that Rubber Band Ligation or Banding is used for Hemorrhoids that are moderate and Haemorrhoidectomy surgical procedure is used for people with severe piles condition.

#323 Help Late Talkers Learn to Initiate
This week's show is a continuation of show #322.
My guest on that show is a mom whose child is nonverbal with a significant language delay. We walked through the checklist from Let's Talk About Talking …Ways to Strengthen the 11 Skills Toddlers Master Before Words Emerge. In that conversation, we identified both his strengths and weaknesses..
One of the main things we kept coming back to was his lack of initiation (skill #11) – so this tells us this is a key skill he's missing that could unlock lots of other skills.
Listen in as I discuss initiation and provide some ideas to get her started working on this important area:

The task of monitoring all vhosts on a web-server in addition to the host and service statuses is necessary because vhosts can fail at the application level where the web-server is operational. In a web development shop like Radical Designs vhosts come up and are taken down all of the time, SLAs mandate that operations staff need to make sure certain HTTP response codes are returned and pages appropriately redirected when new redirects are added. Operations staff need to make sure specific vhosts and urls on those vhosts return specific content and assure all of these do not overwhelm the target web servers or Nagios. At Radical Designs we wanted the update status of web applications associated with vhosts integrated into nagios.
nagios_vhost.pl is capable of polling web servers for their current list of vhosts, vhost alias, comments that act as monitoring directives, and web application type (WordPress and Drupal) and update status. Each host that is configured to have its vhosts monitored will have its own process associated with the checks to help control the rate of requests per server. Its written in Perl. With this in place the following reports across all servers in the farm are always available via the Nagios interface: Vhost status report, and available web application updates (further broken down in web application type).
The main loop looks like this:
$SIG{USR1} = sub { print_statistics(); }; Proc::Daemon::Init; initDB(); # Loop across all of the vhosts and alias' in the database and submit passive checks for my $sth = $DBH->prepare("SELECT host_id,name from host") || die "$DBI::errstr"; $sth->execute(); while (my $host = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()) { my $pid = fork_server($host->{host_id}, $host->{name}); }
Start monitoring vhosts, alias, and web application update status for a new serer
# Update the config for the host in nagios_vhost puppet:~/# /usr/bin/perl /home/radicaldesigns/src/nagios_vhost/nagios_vhost.pl --verbose --update-web-servers huang.radicaldesigns.org # restart nagios puppet:~/# /etc/init.d/nagios3 restart # restart nagios_vhost puppet:~/# ps -ef|grep nagios_vhost|grep daemon root 20153 1 0 11:51 ? 00:00:00 perl /home/radicaldesigns/src/nagios_vhost/nagios_vhost.pl --daemon puppet:~/# kill -s TERM 20153 puppet:~/# perl /home/radicaldesigns/src/nagios_vhost/nagios_vhost.pl --daemon

# Get the ssh key for the puppet host on newwebserver.radicaldesigns.org and configure ssh key authentication for the root user
# then load the vhosts from the new webserver as above
Why are there vhosts getting checked with "meow" as the subdomain?
Often a vhost config in apache will look something like this:
ServerName radicaldesigns.org
ServerAlias *.radicaldesigns.org
This is so that the stanza that configures radicaldesigns.org will handle all subdomains for radicaldesigns.org. In this instance we check to make sure that the subdomain ''meow.radicaldesigns.org'' is handled because it is a highly unlikely subdomain to actually exist, and this is what we have decided to check for whenever we come across a wild card in the ServerAlias directive.
Update nagios with the web application update status across our farm
The web application status is scheduled to be updated every day from cron on puppet at midnight. You can manually run this process with:
radicaldesigns@puppet:~/$ /usr/bin/perl /home/radicaldesigns/src/nagios_vhost/nagios_vhost.pl –verbose --web-application-status-to-nagios
nagios_vhost.pl is managed in version control here.

Daylight Savings in fall used to be my favorite day of the year. Get an extra hour of sleep? YES please! Fast forward, and now I have kids. Two little ones, 2 years old and 6 months old, and I dread when we have to move the clock. But after practicing later sleep times and getting creative when my oldest did wake up earlier (or slept through the extra hour, praise!), I don't dread this weekend anymore 🙂 And you don't have to, either!
Read below for some fun tips on owning, surviving, and thriving through your fall-back daylight savings weekend, along with learning tools and craft ideas to make the most out of your evenings when it gets dark earlier:
FIRST THINGS FIRST: plan ahead for Sunday morning
Just accept the fact that your little kids might not sleep in a whole extra hour to wake up at their "normal" time. And that's okay! To make the most out of the time change, figure out what your game plan is if your kids' sleep gets wonky.
Have breakfast prepped, their clothes picked, and an engaging activity out in the living room waiting for them. And be ready to embrace the day! If you still have time before your day starts, go on a family walk or head to the park for a little romp. Start off with a bang, that way your kids won't feel restless or bored in the morning.
Ideas to keep your kids entertained inside (and outside!)
when it gets dark outside earlier
The biggest thing I had to figure out was what to do with my energetic (and easily bored) little one once it got dark outside at 4:45pm. Yikes! It felt like it was too dark to go outside and do anything – but I learned that was not the case 🙂 There's plenty of fun things to do in the evening before and after dinner! Check out these ideas below on what to do with kids during the evening after we fall back for daylight savings:
1. Go on an evening/dusk nature walk
Nature walks are loads of fun with little ones. Make it at night, and it's an adventure! Bring flashlights and head lamps, and watch/listen for bugs and night animals! Owls, bats, crickets, fireflies, and frogs are all active at night. It's exciting for little ones to experience these sounds (and sights, if they're lucky!).
–Make it a learning experience: read a book about nocturnal animals beforehand, to learn about what comes out after dusk.
–Make it come to life: make paper insects with this sensory craft by Woven Childhood
2. Have a star/moon gazing party
My two year old is obsessed with finding the moon and saying goodnight to it before bed. My husband and I have the moon phase tattooed onto our arms, and she likes to match the moon phase in the sky to the one on either mine or my husband's arm. For even more fun, use the SkyView app to find constellations and planets.
–Make it a learning experience: teach your child about the moon phases! Talk about weaning and waxing, full moon, new moon, and what the moon might look and feel like if they could walk on it in real life.

3. Have a camp out in the yard or patio
Kids love anything out of the ordinary. Especially when ordinary experiences become extraordinary 🙂 Such as, a camp out in the living room, backyard, or patio! You can make a fort, or bring out the tent for the full effect. Plan to eat dinner (and dessert!) outside – you can roast s'mores and hot dogs, and lay out blankets and pillows to combine your night with #2 (above).
–Make it a learning experience: teach your littles the basics of cooking. Help them roast over a flame, assemble their meal, feed you or their sibling (for fun), and talk about the texture and shape of their food.
–Make it come to life: have them design their own place mat with drawings (or cut outs on construction paper glued down) of their favorite foods.
4. Nighttime bike ride
This would be a fun way for them to get energy out before bedtime, when they're feeling "bored" or restless. Take out the bikes, scooters, helmets, and the dog for an evening ride around the park, lake, or trail near you. Make it fun and have a race between parents and kids, or make it festive and head to a nearby friends house with some baked goodies. Nothing says fall/winter hospitality like sharing good food with friends 🙂
–Make it a learning experience: Talk about "things that go." Point out different cars and name their colors, make it a game and find things that start with letters of the alphabet (A for acorn on the ground, B for slug bug, C for cat under a car, D for etc.)
–Make it come to life: Bake cookies, muffins, or bars and bring them to a friends house. Call ahead and turn it into a pre-bedtime play date!
5. Play pretend with cardboard
Kids + cardboard box(s) = unlimited possibilities. Bonus points if you still have little ones in diapers, because you have cardboard boxes at your disposal! Use them to build towers, color the inside to look like a space ship/castle/car/etc., and let your little ones create. My husband loves making rocket ships out of cardboard boxes for our toddler (I'm talking cut out flames, handles, and everything).
–Make it a learning experience: Talk about what you're making! Little ones love to engage their imaginations, and especially so when mom and dad play along. Talk about how big the ship is that you're building, the colors, the buttons, where you're going, who you'll see, and watch their eyes glimmer with the magic of childhood.
–Make it come to life: Help them use scissors to cut, cut tape to assemble, and use extra "parts" to add on to their box. Toilet paper rolls and construction paper make for awesome additions 🙂
Which ones are you going to do with your kids tomorrow and this week?

Dear Friend:
Most people don't realize that as much as 40% of our Douglas public health funding does not come from public sources. Douglas Public Health therefore relies on foundation grants, private contributions and income-based service fees to support a huge portion of work for our Douglas County residents. Led by a 100% giving community board, the Douglas Health Futures Foundation works tirelessly to fulfill our purpose to provide financial, fundraising, and advocacy support for our local public health programs in need.
The Douglas Health Futures Foundation was created in 1994 for the sole purpose of accepting a private land and estate fund donation. It remained relatively quiet aside from that purpose until 2012. At that time, the board teamed with then-foundation director John D. "Jack" Kennedy, M.D., to reinvigorate efforts and build a stronger local presence. The board kicked off its first annual campaign in 2014 to seek financial gifts from individuals in the community.
Since 2015, the Foundation has hosted its annual signature breakfast, "Healthy Futures – Partnering for Children's Health," to celebrate client successes and community generosity. The Foundation board was strategic in choosing to focus its fundraising efforts on programs that improve the health and safety of children in Douglas County. These programs—Children's Medical Services, Babies Can't Wait, Children 1st, and Douglas Safe Kids—continue to be the driving force behind the board's efforts today.
Thank you to all who support our Foundation. Only with your help can we grow stronger and continue to promote healthier lives and a healthier community.
Lisa Crossman
Executive Director
Douglas Health Futures Foundation

American-based video game maker Blizzard Entertainment is being criticized for appeasing Chinese censors after it banned a Hong Kong gamer who espoused support for the region's beleaguered pro-democracy protesters.
On Tuesday, reports surfaced Blizzard had suspended the account of Hearthstone tournament gamer Blitzchung after he yelled, "Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our age!" during a televised interview.
[BREAKING] Hong Kong Hearthstone player @blitzchungHS calls for liberation of his country in post-game interview:https://t.co/3AgQAaPioj

— Inven Global @ BlizzCon! (@InvenGlobal) October 6, 2019
According to a statement from Blizzard Entertainment, Blitzchung was removed from the Grandmasters tourney, is ineligible to receive any prize money, and is suspended from Hearthstone Esports for a year, for breaking an official competition rule.
Breaking: Effective immediately, Blizzard has removed Hong Kong Hearthstone player blitzchung from Hearthstone Grand Masters, rescinded all his prize money, and have suspended him from pro play for one year for his recent interview.

"We will also immediately cease working with both casters," the company announced, referring to the two hosts of the broadcast who ducked their heads when Blitzchung made his statement.
A pinned Twitter post from Blizzard received a large ratio of negative comments, accusing the company of bending over for Communist China.
To be clear, this year's BlizzCon is taking place at Tiananmen Square, right?

The kerfuffle comes as the NBA also faces backlash from China after Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey made comments on Twitter supportive of the Hong Kong protesters fighting to keep China from imposing a draconian extradition policy.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver came to Morey's defense, saying, "I want to make it clear … that Daryl Morey is supported in terms of his ability to exercise his freedom of expression."
However, Chinese state-run media issued a statement rejecting Silver's support of Morey's comments, claiming, "We strongly oppose Silver's support of Morey on the basis of freedom of speech and we think any comments that challenge a country's sovereignty and social stability is not within the scope of freedom of speech."

Palacio del Flamenco
Three great shows a night, with delicious dinner options
Occupying a wonderful 1920s era theatre, El Palacio del Flamenco ('The Flamenco Palace') is one of the most well-known and respected tablaos in Barcelona, dedicated to the art in its purest form.
Show Times | Dinner Options | Book Tickets | Dress Code
Completely renovated in 2006, the building combines modern elegance and the latest audiovisual technology with elements of its period decor from the early 20th century. With a seated capacity of 380 people, it's one of the largest venues for catching a flamenco show in the city, and up to 14 artists perform during each concert, including singers, dancers, guitar players and other musicians.
The Palace hosts three different shows each night, each one hour long, and most guests choose to enjoy dinner with the performance as well, choosing from their Tapas Menu, Paella Menu or Vegetarian Dinner options. Another, more affordable option, is just to buy tickets for the show itself, which comes with a free drink.
The theatre is located on Carrer Balmes, near the top of the famous Passeig de Gracia boulevard and just a couple of blocks away from Diagonal metro station.
Show Times
El Palacio del Flamenco throws on three shows each night, Monday to Sunday.
18:25 to 19:25 – Flamenco & Ole, a great introduction to the art.
20:15 to 21:15 – The Bajano Gypsy, classic flamenco from southern Spain
22:30 to 23:30 – Flamenco Passion, a sultry and sensual show
Don't worry too much about the differences between each show, as they are not wildly different from one another, especially if you're a novice to the art form. Rather each showcases the stunning passion of this gypsy song and dance that came to symbolise the soul of Spain!
Dinner Options
Whilst most of Barcelona's top tablaos offer dinner with the show, Palacio del Flamenco's dedicated catering team means their food offer is much better than the competition's. Don't expect Michelin-starred cuisine, but you will get a quality Spanish meal that fits the occasion perfectly.
Option 1: Show + Paella Menu (€50). Enjoy Spain's most iconic dish, a delicious seafood paella, with the concert. Menu also includes salad bowl, one drink and chocolate profiteroles.
Option 2: Show + Vegetarian Dinner (€50). Enjoy a special vegetarian version of the classic paella dish. Menu also includes a salad bowl, one drink and chocolate profiteroles.
Option 3: Show + Tapas Menu (€65). A smorgasboard of Spanish tastes, this menu includes seafood paella, Spanish omelet, cheese salad and chicken stew. It also includes one drink and chocolate profiteroles.
Children's Menu. Children 12 years old and under are served a special menu (spaghetti, chicken with french fries and soft drink) for a total price of just €22, including concert.
Show + Drink. Alternatively you can buy tickets for just the show with a drink for €35 per person (€12 for children).
Important Notice: Dinner in each case starts 25 minutes before the show, and they like you to be on time. In fact you can head to the Palace an hour before the main show to catch a live flamenco class before dinner.
Reserve Your Tickets for a Show
You can book tickets for one of the Palacio de Flamenco's shows in Barcelona, easily and securely via Get Your Guide.
Once you have selected your preferred date and number of people the dinner options will reveal themselves and you can select your preferred menu etc.
Dress Code
Whilst there is no official dress code for a night at the Palacio del Flamenco, it's traditional in Barcelona to dress up for nights of culture, and many tourists enjoy the opportunity to wear something more formal, like a jacket or cocktail dress. That being said many others will be wearing casual comfort clothes, so it's really up to you.
- A fantastic venue with passionate singers and dancers that create a very moving performance. Overall a wonderful night and one of the highlights of our trip to Barcelona.2 years ago

Kindergarten through fifth-grade students have art class once a week. They will learn about a variety of artists from our country as well as countries around the world. Students will be exposed to many different art mediums, creating both two-dimensional and three-dimensional artwork.
Students should have an art smock in school to bring to art class whenever they will be working with mediums that could stain clothing. An old button-up shirt seems to work the best. Supplies such as crayons, markers, and pencils will be provided in class for the students to use.
Instrumental Music
Our instrumental music program is offered to students in grades 3, 4 and 5. Students are exposed to the variety of instruments in music class and then have an opportunity to choose one to play and take lessons on. Parents have the choice to rent or buy their child's instruments with some instruments being provided by the school. Instrumental music lessons are given throughout the school day to students in grades 3, 4 and 5.
Vocal Music
Students in grades K-5 have vocal music class once a week. Students are exposed to a variety of music history, songs, and an opportunity to enjoy the art of music.
Physical Education (PE)
Students in grades K-5 attend Physical Education classes two times a week. Only a doctor's note can excuse a student from Physical Education for more than a day. All students are required to wear sneakers and to be appropriately dressed for physical activity.
For safety reasons, students are not allowed to wear any type of jewelry during their participation in class, with the exception of medical emergency bracelets. It is recommended that students do not bring any valuables to PE class.

Joseph D. Federico's Blog
Moving to a new home quite literally uproots your entire life. From moving day on, you'll be learning to navigate your new home and rebuilding your daily routines.
The first week in your new home is both the most excited and the most chaotic. Boxes are likely still scattered around the house, you're constantly forgetting where the light switches are, and trying to figure out how to arrange your furniture.
With all of these changes going on it can be easy to get overwhelmed in your new home. That's why we've put together this list of things you should do in your first week at your new house to get settled in and prepared for your new life.
On Moving Day
Day one of your move can only run so smoothly. As a result, it's important to try and relax throughout the day. Remind yourself that you don't need to unpack and arrange everything today. It's also a good idea to keep a checklist of everything you need to accomplish on moving day, whether that's paying movers, handing over keys, or turning on utilities.
Since the majority of your belongings will likely be in disarray for the next few days, you should make sure you have a box of your daily essentials clearly labeled that you can unpack first. We're talking about toothbrushes, toiletries, and anything else you'll absolutely need to get your day started.
The First Week in Your New Home
Once you've made it past the first day the hardest part is over. It will soon be easier to get a good night's sleep in your new bedroom, and your morning routine will run more smoothly.
To be best prepared for the first week in your new home, we've prepared a checklist of important items to tackle so that you're fully settled in as soon as possible.
Familiarize yourself with the home. Safety should always be your first priority, even at home. Take the time to find out where your circuit breaker is, your water main valve, light switches, fire extinguishers, and so on. Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, or just change the batteries so you know the exact date they were changed.
It's also a good idea to develop a fire escape route. Since you and your family aren't as familiar with the layout of your new home as your old one, it's important to understand where the best exits are in case of an emergency. Pick a landmark outside that you'll meet at in case of a fire.
Change your locks. A top priority for your first week should be changing out your locks. Not everyone is careful with their keys and discriminate in who they give them to. Whether you choose to hire a locksmith or buy and replace the locks yourself, it's better to get this task accomplished sooner rather than later.
Deep clean. You won't soon have another opportunity to clean a house that isn't filled with meticulously arranged furniture. The first week in your new home is a good time to clean the carpets, scrub the corners of each room, and do a thorough cleaning of your refrigerator and cabinets. It's tempting to start putting items where they'll go as soon as you arrive, but cleaning first will save you time later. The same principle applies for painting your walls.
Moving into a new house is a great way to start a new chapter of your life. When you buy and move into a new home, you're opening up to new possibilities. Those new possibilities will certainly come in the form of the new people that you will meet and get to know in your new neighborhood.
Take the pain out of moving into a new house
Your entire environment will change, especially if you move into a new house that's located in a different part of town or a completely different city or state. Move by the seat of your pants or haphazardly and you could feel overwhelmed in no time flat. The below five steps could save you time, headache, stress and regret.Those savings alone could enliven your spirit and renew your commitment to living the best life possible, especially as you open up to not only moving into a new home, but to also accepting new, personal and professional growth opportunities.
- Pack similar items together – It can take hours to unpack a one bedroom house, let alone a three or five bedroom house. To get those hours back, pack clothes, shoes, hats and other fashion accessories together. Pack dishes together. Put all furniture accessories, like decorative pillows, in the same box.
- Label items – Put clear labels on boxes and large items. This takes the guess work out of packing and unpacking.
- Schedule utilities in advance – Contact utility companies and have your electricity, water, gas and other utilities turned on before you move in. You're going to need running water and electricity on day one.
- Build a team – Reach out to friends and relatives and build a team of movers. Choose people who have moved an entire house at least once, preferably twice. The more experienced people are at moving, the more shortcuts they generally know about.
- Contact information – Write down relevant contact information. For instance, have the names, telephone numbers and email addresses of babysitters, pet sitters, utility companies, cable companies and packers and unpackers that you might use. Put the contact information in the same location. Your cell phone is a great place to store this information.
Take it easy on yourself when you move into your new home
If you've been struggling to take the required steps to finally pursue a passion, hobby or business endeavor, moving into a new house could be the inspiration that helps you to launch forward. A move leaves your brain with no option but to except that something major has changed. Instead of putting on the brakes and refusing to accept the change, take the right steps to make your house move go as smoothly as possible.
The steps mentioned in this article may shorten the time that you spend packing,unpacking and getting acclimated to your new house and your new neighborhood. You could use that saved time to strike up conversations with your new neighbors and explore the social, education, spiritual, community and entertainment offerings near your new home. You could also use the time to fill out and submit paperwork to launch your new business or to deepen relationships with your family and friends.

Orange has come a long way from Howard Johnson roofs and A&W drive-ins of the 1970s — so far, in fact, that global color authority Pantone has anointed the reddish-orange Tangerine Tango the color of 2012.
Pantone's annual picks, which both reflect and influence the latest consumer product design, seep into everything from high fashion to plumbing fixtures. This year's fresh-squeezed star is already popping up in women's and men's pieces from Marc by Marc Jacobs, retro florals from Dolce & Gabbana and rain boots by Ilyse Jacobsen. It peeks from a Paul Smith men's jacket lining and winks from Eyebobs reading glasses. In the home, it heats up the kitchen and bath as an accent (knobs) or scene-stealer (cabinets).
With its choice, Pantone tries to nail the cultural psyche and satisfy a longing.
"When you say tangerine tango, it immediately elicits an elegant, sexy sort of dance," said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute and co-author of "Pantone: The 20th Century in Color" (Chronicle, $40). "It has some sophistication, but at the same time it has energy. It's a color that symbolizes a need to recharge our batteries."
Tempering the aggressiveness of red are the yellow notes. "With orange there's always that undertone of friendliness and warmth," Eiseman said.
She has watched orange ascend since the '90s, when the Internet and global travel placed orange in a different light from its dubious 1970s heyday in America.
"People began to see how orange was used in other cultures and that orange is not just for cheap stuff," Eiseman said.
"There are always going to be people who will say, 'Sorry, I'm never going to use it.'" But the response to the pick in 2012 has been overwhelmingly positive, she said, "which is very different than it would have been 15 years ago. I felt the timing was right."
Those who question its wearability should note that the reddish tones make it more amenable to the complexion than a straightforward orange. That's one reason beauty emporium Sephora is creating a limited edition makeup line around Tangerine Tango, available in Sephora stores in March.
To temper the intensity of the color and add depth, choose clothing and accessories with texture — jewelry with faceted stones or fabrics with sheen or plushness rather than a flat finish, Eiseman said. "A print or a pattern is also a great way to do it."
In the home, Tangerine Tango can enliven any room, said Linda Jennings, president of Jennings & Co., an interiors trend specialist in Sarasota, Fla.
"The best way is to introduce just a small accent, like a knob on a bedside cabinet, pillows on a sofa, a fabulous serving bowl on the center of the dining room table, or soaps in the bathroom" Jennings said. "For those a bit more daring, experiment with painting one wall tangerine, or go bolder with an orange painted clawfoot tub in the bath or orange countertop in the kitchen. This year it's all about creating a point of drama."
Orange has come a long way from Howard Johnson roofs and A&W drive-ins of the 1970s — so far, in fact, that global color authority Pantone has anointed the reddish-orange Tangerine Tango the color of 2012.

The manuscript of Antonín Dvořák's famous cello concerto has gone on display at the Czech Centre in New York, launching a month-long celebration of the centenary of Czechoslovakia.
The Cello Concerto in B minor was the last work Antonín Dvořák composed during his stay in America. Now, more than 100 years later, its manuscript has returned to its place of origin, going on display at the Czech Centre in New York. The exhibition is part of a special programme marking the 100th anniversary of the foundation of Czechoslovakia, which will culminate this Friday with a Dvořák recital at the Bohemian National Hall, featuring members of the Czech Philharmonic.
I spoke to Barbara Karpetová, head of the Czech Centre in New York about the upcoming events, but I first asked her to tell me more about the history of Dvořák's cello concerto:
"Well, Dvořák was not very enthusiastic about the cello being a solo instrument. He did not really believe that a cello would be able to carry the entire concert. Thought it is important to know that cellos at that time looked very different than today. That might be actually the reason why Dvořák was not that enthusiastic.
"Later on, he decided he would compose a concerto for cello. He finished the entire piece here in New Yok, but before he did, his life-long love and muse Josephina had passed away and he decided to incorporate her favourite song into the cello concerto.
"Another interesting fact is that he didn't include cadenza, which is the equilibristic part of the composition for a soloist. So this cello concerto is very rare and very special and it is also the most often performed cello concerto in the world."
How was it received when it was performed for the first time?
"I think perfectly well, because whoever knows the music knows that it is really beautiful. It was used as a background music for a variety of films, one of them being The Witches of Eastwick. So the entire music is really beautiful and it was performed here in New York in Carnegie Hall, though not as the premiere."
Would you say it is equally well-known among the US audiences as for instance, the Symphony from the New World?
"This is in fact the most common combination for American orchestras. Quite often American orchestra conceive their programme as a combination of the Symphony from the New World and the Cello Concerto. Dvořák's violin concerto and piano concerto are only played very rarely."
The cello concerto is already the third Dvorak manuscript to go on display at the Czech Centre in New York…
"Yes, it is. We are really thrilled about that and I am very proud and thankful to the National Museum that they arranged this third manuscript, the manuscript which was in fact conceived in New York, sending it after all of those years (and we are talking about more than 100 years) back to the place of its birth.
"We had Symphony from the New World, we had Rusalka here in the gallery of the Czech Centre New York thanks to the fact that there was a new production of Rusalka at the Metropolitan opera and this time, the Czech Philharmonic are starting their tour in New York playing two concerts at Carnegie Hall, one of them being the cello concerto.
"Hence there is this incredible puzzle falling together that Dvořák, who contributed to the purchase of the Bohemian National Hall, is having his cello concerto coming again and being viewed by more than 140 VIPs."
What else, apart from the manuscript itself, is on display at the Czech Centre in New York?
"It is an entire exhibition focusing on Antonín Dvořák as a composer who brought to the United States certain ideas about what the national music should look like.
"We are going to have lectures focusing on that. We are also screening a film called American Letters to give insight into Dvořák's intimate family life and we are having several concerts, one of them being a recital created by the concerto masters of the Czech Philharmonic."
Why did you choose Dvořák as one of the main topics of the celebrations of the centenary of Czechoslovakia?
"Well, Dvořák still remains to be kind of a bridge between the banks of the Atlantic. He definitely was a crucial ambassador coming from our country to New York and he left an enormous trace in American cultural life and obviously in the entire world's cultural life.
"We are of course collaborating with the Czech Philharmonic on that theme. So the fact that the Czech Philharmonic is opening their US tour in here led us to the idea to bring the cello concerto and to have a month-long project celebrating Dvořák and his music."
What other events marking the centenary of Czechoslovakia are planned at the Czech Centre in New York?
"Well, I would say that obviously the most important is the recital I spoke about. We are going to have here the new chief of the Czech Philharmonic, Semyon Bychkov. Alisa Weilerstein, the American cellist, will be playing here and we are also going to have the violinist Josef Špaček playing a solo and a quartet created of two Czech and two American masters.
"We are going to have here as well a person from the Carnegie Hall archive presenting the programme of that time and one of the lecturers from Dvořák American Heritage Association. That is the key programme for us and all the other are kind of contributing to enhance this.
"One of the concerts will be performed by students from the Czech Conservatory and NUY Steinhardt music department. The programme also includes the Czech Beer days. A popular drink of Dvořák inspired us to launch together with embassy a project where the Czech lagers are served in the Czech pub here in the building together with Dvořák's favourite menu."
How long ahead did you have to plan these events?
"Well, quite a long time ahead. I would say more than a year. It's quite a complicated thing to bring the manuscript in and mind you, the National Museum has a huge event on their hands right now, so it was very generous on their side to prepare basic materials for us.
"At the same time, the US tour was obviously planned for a very long time in advance and to coordinate with American PR specialist took quite a long time too. So I would say maybe one, to one and a half year."

The Future of Work: Experience
Whether the jobs change, or just the tools, one aspect of work is likely to remain
steady in the face of technological disruption – the necessity for meaning.
As organisations seek innovation and embrace new technologies, our experience of work is facing an era of important change. Advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning are keys to the foreseeable automation of many and varied tasks across almost all industries.
The Australian government predicts that as many as 40% of current jobs are facing 'significant disruption' in the next 15 years – raising the prospect of some roles disappearing altogether. For many, the future of work will involve greater interaction and reliance on technology than ever before.
Office workers across Asia Pacific already see technology as an important part of their working experience. The Future of Work: APAC 2017 shows many rate technology above other amenities, including food and office design. Of those surveyed, 51% nominated 'state of the art technology for my work station' as most important.
Technology wins over all other workplace amenities
Q. Of the following factors, which are the most important in creating your ideal physical space at work? Please select up to three.
"There's a fundamental shift in thinking about how people in offices, at least, get their job done," explains Dr Joseph Sweeney, a workplace transformation expert with consultancy IBRS. "We have new ways of delivering workplace tools. We're seeing those all break down and fragment into little services," Sweeney says. "So instead of saying here's a solution, go and work at that desk… here's a toolbox."
Sweeney joined technologists, scientists, organisational and business experts from APAC, brought together for Adobe Think Tank 2017. The wide-ranging discussion on 'The Future of Work' drew insights from across a region that is incredibly diverse, economically and culturally.
"…innovation actually needs people to bounce off each other in terms of ideation"
— Abhijit Bhaduri.
Collaboration for innovation
The way workers collaborate, for example, varies across APAC, according to Sweeney. "Collaboration is one of the hardest things to actually get right inside organisations," he says.
"The way that we use collaboration in Australia is primarily messaging. The way that it's used in other markets is deep collaboration where you've got multiple people… it's like mechanics working on the same car. It's a very different approach to collaboration."
Of respondents to the Future of Work APAC 2017 survey, 45% chose "technology to help connect me to colleagues" as most important amongst workplace amenities.
Collaborative technology helps office workers be most innovative
Q. Please rank these in terms of how valuable they are in making you more innovative in your job?
(Ranking calculated basis weighted average of multiple parameters ranked in order of importance, with 1 being most important and 5 the least.)
* Office workers in Australia and New Zealand ranked state-of-the-art technology as key to them innovate at work.
* Office workers in Australia and New Zealand ranked state-of-the-art technology as key to them innovate at work.
In today's workplaces, organisations seek the innovative potential of people working together. Participants may be in different locations, but the emphasis has moved on from mere telecommuting – that trend has reversed, the influencers observed.
"The biggest tech companies are building the largest campuses," says Abhijit Bhaduri, India-based author and management consultant. "They are deliberately bringing their people back into the workspace because innovation actually needs people to bounce off each other in terms of ideation," Bhaduri says.
Fragmented experience
As organisations look for bottom line benefits from technology and, in particular automation, they should be mindful of the experience they are creating for employees.
Modern working life is an experience that is increasingly becoming fragmented, according to Sarah Caine, associate professor at University of Technology, Sydney.
Organisations that are splitting out the mundane and repetitive tasks may well be exacerbating the fragmentation already being felt by workers, especially those who are on short-term contracts or working on a project-by-project basis.
The 'gig economy', where workers bid for tasks via online marketplaces has been both applauded and decried. On one hand, it increases competition and opens up work opportunities for those who might not otherwise have them. On the other hand, workers are effectively bidding to be paid the least for their efforts, with limited support for their rights.
"It's this idea that we can hire from anywhere at any time in very short engagements," explains IBRS' Dr Joseph Sweeney. "And what's surprising me is I'm now taking inquiries from very traditional companies and government organisations saying, how do we utilise these lower cost workers—and it's explicitly around cost," he says.
Beyond financial implications, a fragmented experience of work can have a deep impact on the wellbeing of workers. Jobs may be divided into components, some being automated, some being outsourced, and what's left will be increasingly abstract.
The workers most likely to adapt will need an "interdisciplinary perspective", Caine says, otherwise they will lose sight of their purpose.
"Work is getting more fragmented. So you can take little bits and pieces of work, which technology allows you to farm out in multiple places, and because of this shift, what you have is people don't find meaning," Caine says.
The value of meaning and doing meaningful work is especially relevant in APAC, where in many cultures, a person's job is part of their identity.
"So the issue is also about how do we create meaning for people who are doing those kinds of jobs."
If employee experience drives customer experience, businesses must invest in tools that support team collaboration. Adobe is supporting organisations to shape the way they work now and for the future. Find out how Adobe Experience Cloud is helping teams to connect and get the job done.

For Upper Elementary and Middle School Teachers
MMUN is pleased to announce a free webinar: "Navigating the UN website for treaties, statements, resolutions", held by Chris Talamo (International MUN Association) and Judith Cunningham.
Please note that only teacher coordinators who have taken the MMUN workshop can join us for the free webinar.
This webinar was an overview for MMUN teachers on how authentic UN sources can be incorporated into students' research for MUN conferences. The webinar focused on just two of the many information databases available from the UN: PaperSmart and the Official Document System (ODS). UN PaperSmart boasts a simple interface and easy access to recent speeches working papers, and resolutions, especially from the General Assembly. The ODS, on the other hand, is far more comprehensive, although it is also more difficult to navigate. However, teaching students how to use these important databases will allow them to connect directly with the language and arguments used by the ambassadors that they are representing, making them powerful tools for education.
Please forward any advance questions to firstname.lastname@example.com so they can be answered during the webinar.
Webinar Date
- September 20th, 2019 4:00 PM (EST)
- 1 hour (Please note, you will receive a link by email to access the webinar before Sept. 2oth)
If you have questions please contact us at email@example.com

For those interested in the Broken Arrow Horse Camp and Campground, this is a very nice, quiet campground that is off the beaten path (about 4 miles outside of Custer). It is small but very nice, especially if you like horses!! And I do…. There must have been about 25-30 horses here when we checked in. We would recommend this campground to anyone traveling in this area.
Tomorrow is going to be a quiet day for us. Charley is going to the Ellsworth AFB Commissary tomorrow to pick up a few things and also will be making a Walmart run. Outside of that we are planning to rest and relax the rest of the day while our roast cooks in the crock-pot.
We hope you enjoy the pictures!

Justin Timberlake's fashion line William Rast is set to show at the tents at Bryant Park next month, despite the fact that many designers are scaling back their shows this year due to the weak economy.
The line was shown at Roseland Ballroom during fashion week last September, when a strongly rumoured performance from Timberlake did not happen.
According to WWD, the show at the tents is scheduled for February 16, and Timberlake will not be performing. However, he will be there to take the obligatory designer's bow at the end of the runway show.
