Everyone I know is trying to get into someone else's head lately. No one is concerned with the inner workings of their own psyche, at least not when there appears to be a plethora of confusing, cliche, emotionally-withheld and skeptical single men and
women whom we can date and dissect psychologically until the cows come home. Everyone I know wants to know, "What is he/she thinking?"
"What are you thinking?" The fiance asks me this as we're sitting on the couch on a Friday evening, watching the 90s Alternative music channel. More often than not, this question annoys me, and not by any fault of his, but mostly because I rarely know the answer. This is due largely in part to my tendency to have 25 different thoughts running through my head at one time, and an unwillingness to commit
to just one as the dominant thought the moment, worth discussing. Because then I wonder if he really wants me to start a discussion about whether Port Salut cheese is better with or without a dash of salt, and should I or should I not eat what's left of it in the fridge with a couple of saltines? Or maybe I should reserve the bit of information about "Step by Step" being my favorite New Kids on the Block song, as of not that long ago.
See, this is the dilemma. There's no one really interesting thought, just a bunch of small ones that give the illusion of me contemplating something really deep and noteworthy.
But the difference is that the fiance's quest for this information and insight into my brain isn't driven by his desire to uncover some breakthrough, some long-awaited clarity on how I feel about him. He already knows this. He's just curious as to why I'm staring blankly at a wall. And only when you can ask this question without the resulting answer determining your self-worth and your legitimacy as a potential partner…is it safe to ask.
One good friend of mine is navigating a breakup while another is navigating a new relationship, and both want to know what the other parties in each of their situations is thinking. In the case of the former, she feels that knowing exactly what he's thinking about her (and how often) will better help her determine whether they'll get back to together at some point, which will assumedly ease her feelings of loneliness and longing. She's made it all about him, and not her, which is more common than we like to admit. We all do it. The other friend wants to know what her partner is thinking so she can better determine whether they'll STAY together. Again, we all do it, we all try to figure out our potential based on vague clues and references from the other party. The point is that both share the same inconclusive theme of "What does he want from me?" And now here is the magical answer that will answer this every time for you without fail: It doesn't matter.
Here is why it doesn't matter: Because no matter how well you know someone (or how manipulative you are), you absolutely cannot control either 1) what someone else thinks of or feels about you, and 2) how someone else reacts to any given situation. If you want a great book on this and how you need only focus on "your 100% of what you bring to a relationship", check out Don Miguel Ruiz's "The Mastery of Love". And he explains this theory in depth. Of course, the answer here isn't to just sit back and hope, it's not to wait to see if the person echoes your sentiments and your desires to remain or become a couple. It's about understanding that every time you ask yourself "What is he/she thinking?" you are taking the control away from yourself, and giving it to someone else, whom you may barely even know.
When you give up control to someone else, whether it's by becoming emotionally dependent upon a partner, a job, or allowing yourself to be manipulated in any way, you are putting yourself in the victim seat. Plain and simple. Trying to figure out what is going on in someone else's mind or heart, so that you can feel better about yourself, the relationship or your future, is allowing yourself to be a victim at the hand of someone else. Even if they didn't ask for that control, you willingly gave it to them. But luckily, it's very easy to take it back.
And it's important to note that when I say "regain control" that does not mean having the upper hand. It simply refers to regaining the control you have over you… not anyone else. The mistake we commonly make upon entering a relationship is forgetting to clearly define to ourselves what we want out of this potential partnership. Unlike relationships, we do typically do this with jobs…we figure out what industry we want to work in, what our core strengths and talents are that we bring to the table, the types of people we want to immerse ourselves in, the desired outcome, etc. So why do we throw values to the wind when it comes to seeking a successful, fulfilling relationship, and instead just rely on hope that it turns into what we want? Why are we not asking ourselves first and foremost, "What do I want out of this relationship… and does this person fit into that which will support my objectives?" Instead we assume we're the ones that need to prove our worth and fit into their picture. This is why so many relationships fail – we don't set any expectations, for our partners, and more importantly for ourselves.
Just think – if you know confidently what you are looking for in a person and what you need out of a relationship to feel fulfilled, energized, motivated and loved, won't it be much easier to determine whether it feels right, rather than trying to decode their every thought, movement and word? This isn't an invitation to be close-minded, or saying that you will be happy if you're committed to only dating a guy who is 5'10, makes X dollars as a pediatric surgeon and says things like "I completely understand how you feel…please, tell me more." It's about establishing your non-negotiables, the underlying aspects of a person and a relationship that you want and need, that are based on your values. These are the things you're not willing to bend on – like monogamy, or someone who is legitimately interested in a serious relationship that has long-term potential. But do be aware that once you know what you want, you're not wasting your time trying to mold someone else who's not on the same page as you, into the ideal partner that they're not. Be honest with yourself. If the shoe doesn't fit, there are a million other pairs potentially more flattering.
So start by asking yourself these revealing questions:
- What does a successful relationship look like to me?
- What do I need from someone to feel appreciated and loved?
- What are my non-negotiables?
- What level of commitment am I looking for right now at this stage of my life?
- What qualities does the person I want to be with possess?
- What am I currently tolerating, or have I tolerated in the past, that I won't tolerate going forward?
- What excites me about a person?
- If I found this person, am I in a position to give to them what I want them to give to me?
I can give you a bunch more, if you want. But the general idea here is to construct your own vision of your successful relationship, to build awareness and confidence around that, know that you deserve it, and then be able to use that vision as a foundation for moving forward. Knowing what you want and need eliminates that typical early-on scenario of the blind leading the blind, where neither person knows what page you're on, what the other person wants, or what's okay or not okay to say. And yes, being the one to stand up and admit what you need can be scary, as you're essentially putting yourself on the line, hoping the other person accepts you for that. But know that our fears of doing this simply stem from our own limiting beliefs that we have about ourselves as a partner, or about what we think other people expect of us. They're not necessarily true, but they certainly hold us back. What are those limiting beliefs keeping you from voicing what you need, even if it's just to yourself? They exist…we all have them. It's time to break them down.
Drop the labels, drop the rules. Know your relationship vision and stick to your plan. Leave room to improvise, of course, but build that awareness around where you're coming from and where you want to go, and you will eliminate that feeling of being at the mercy of someone else all the time, and the god-awful drudgery of trying to decode someone else's thoughts and feelings. Because that should be the fun part – finding someone who really compliments you, some in ways you've always wanted, and in ways you never even know you needed. Personally, I think relationships are self-discovery at its best. And the next time someone asks you "What are you thinking?" maybe it's not a bad idea to <gasp>… let them know. For the love of God, (and hopefully the love of someone else) get out of their head and into your own. If you're like most people, you already have your work cut out for you there.

DETROIT, Mich. — Chris Cornell, lead singer of Soundgarden and Audioslave, died Wednesday night.
A coroner ruled the death suicide by hanging.
Cornell, 52, was in Detroit performing with Soundgarden, which had embarked on a US tour in April.
Brian Bumbery, his representative, called Cornell's passing "sudden and unexpected" in a statement to CNN.
"His wife Vicky and family were shocked to learn of his sudden and unexpected passing, and they will be working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause," the statement read. "They would like to thank his fans for their continuous love and loyalty and ask that their privacy be respected at this time."
The Grammy-winning rocker had performed Wednesday night at the Fox Theatre in Detroit.
Cornell began his career in the Seattle rock scene forming the band Soundgarden in 1984, which was influential in the 1990s grunge movement. The group disbanded in 1997 and released a greatest hits compilation the same year.
In 2001, Cornell joined with three former members of Rage Against the Machine to form Audioslave. Their most successful single, "Like a Stone" released in 2003.
Cornell also sang the theme song to the James Bond movie "Casino Royale."
Soundgarden came back on stage in 2010 for festival performances and had recently started touring again. The band tweeted Wednesday night a quote from Cornell: "What I look forward to the most…is the camaraderie. It's what we missed when we weren't a band."
Rocker Dave Navarro mourned the loss of Cornell, tweeting: "Such a terrible and sad loss! Thinking of his family tonight! RIP."

Modern Game Chicken
The Modern Game Chicken is strictly a fancier's creation. In type it is far removed from the Old English or Pit Game bred in the days when cock fighting was the vogue of Great Britain. The ideals of breeders of Pit Games were replaced by the ideals of exhibition Game fanciers. This breed evolved over a period of thirty years by selectively breeding Malay and Old English Game. By the turn of the century they had reached their height of popularity with birds fetching vast sums. The large fowl fell out of favor and are now only kept by a few fanciers. ! high-bodied Game fowl with a style and carriage peculiar to itself is the result. Modern Games were at the height of their popularity in the closing years of the 1800's.
Characteristics: Type and carriage in Modern Games and Modern Game Bantams is of great importance and shortness and hardness of feathers are also important. Exceptionally large specimens are undesirable, as overgrowth tends to coarseness at the expense of form and style of carriage which are essential characteristics of the Modern Game and even to a greater degree in the Modern Game Bantam.
- Standard Weights: Cock-6 pounds; hen-4-1/2 pounds; cockerel-5 pounds; pullet-4 pounds.
- Skin Color: Yellow
- Egg Shell Color: Tinted
- Use: Exhibition fowl.
- Origin: Great Britain
Interested in raising chickens, but not sure which breed might be right for you?
Things to consider:
Geography: Consider geography when selecting a breed. In cooler areas of the country, consider raising heavier birds. In hotter areas, consider lighter weight birds. Some birds have been specially breed for cold climates. Consider these birds if you live in a cold-climate area.
Space: Where will you be raising these chickens? Do you have a lot of farm land for the animals to be raised on, or are you planning to raise them in your backyard? If you have a small space in which to raise the birds, choose breeds with a calmer temperament and avoid birds that are listed as active. Active birds will not be happy in close confinement.
Temperament: When choosing a breed, consider temperament. Some breeds are calmer than others. If raising chickens in a backyard or in the city, you may prefer a calmer breed.

A physical examination also termed as a clinical examination or commonly also referred to as medical examination, is the process which involves a medical practitioner examining the body of a patient for any possible symptoms or signs of a medical condition that requires attention. It usually consists of a series of questions pertaining to the patient's medical history followed by an examination of the symptoms. Together, both these components, the physical examination and the medical history aid in arriving at a conclusive yet correct diagnosis followed by devising an appropriate treatment plan. This also eventually becomes part of the medical record.
Physical examinations may be used to particularly investigate a patient's specific symptoms or complaints or could also be incorporated as routine check-up procedures in an otherwise healthy patient, making it more like a general medical examination. Popularization of physical examinations and the maturity of screening technologies, the necessity to include them in routine lifestyles, stressing on the impact of chronic diseases and public awareness are some of the factors which contribute to the market growth.
Physical examinations are also gaining popularity due to the health checkup benefits offered by many employers.

Small loans in Norway – Get small loans online, compare here
If you need some extra money, but you only need a small amount, then small loans can be the solution. It could be, for example, if you received an unforeseen bill and you have no money left to pay it. Or if you've found something, you just have to have it, but it's the last of the month. This way you can meet your needs without having to make use of a large loan, which is unnecessary for you.
Here we give you some information on what to do when choosing a small loan. We also explain how to find a company and receive an offer, which you can decide on. We hope it can help you make the right choice for you.
Benefits of small loans in Norway
There are a number of benefits that you can enjoy if you choose this type of loan. The most obvious is probably the amount. You can borrow as little as you want. Some companies offer amounts as low as $ 5,000. This way you avoid getting more than you need and it is especially advantageous when you have to repay the money. By just getting what you need, you also avoid being tempted by other things and spending your money on something you really didn't need. That way it will be much cheaper for you.
Another significant advantage is that the company does not ask what you are going to spend your money on. There are only a few requirements that the company checks. This applies among other things to age, working conditions and remuneration. But beyond that, they do not need much information, so the purpose of the loan can be entirely for yourself.
The few requirements also make the whole process very easy. Yes, it doesn't even require you to get up from your couch. Everything can be done online. It is very quick to submit an application, which we will explain later.
Finally, it is worth mentioning, that it is a very flexible loan type. You get a lot of freedom to put together the loan, as you like, to suit your needs. Among other things, you can choose your own amount. As mentioned, most online banks offer amounts down to $ 5,000 or $ 7,000 .
At some companies it is 30,000 $, and in other places you get up to 500,000. You can see this by examining the company's own website. You can also choose the repayment period yourself, depending on how much you want to pay back in the month. This is how you get conditions that are largely determined by yourself and that you can arrange as you wish.
This is how you apply
It is easy to apply for small loans in Norway. You only go to the company's website, where you can fill out the form with amount, payback time etc. And then you submit your application. It is an advantage to get offers from several companies, because you can save a lot of money this way.
According to the law, all companies must have a loan example on the website, but it is still important to obtain an offer. Only in this way can you see what the company can offer you. Of course, it is free and non-binding to apply, so just search as many as you want.
After a short time you get a loan offer back
Here you will look at the effective interest rate, because this tells you what the actual costs are. These you can then compare between the different ones, and based on this – and other factors – you can then choose your company. You can usually sign the loan digitally through BankID . It couldn't be easier.
We hope we have given you a better understanding of what a small loan is and when it can be an advantage to use it. And we wish you the best of luck in the search for the best online small loan in Norway for you.

10/3/19 update: Today's game update fixed the partridge/stork Easter egg. These are no longer a super food.This changes leveling strategy. All other animals appear to give the same number of coins as before.
Animals Sorted by Max Coins/XP = Table 1
Animals Sorted by Highest Yield = Table 2
Alphabetized Master Animal List = Table 3
The following tables show the max coins per animal (eg the coins received for a kill shot of a level 99 animal while on premium subscription). For players under level 50, multiply this by 10 to get the max experience for each animal. The tables also show the typical health (health of a level 99 animal is not always consistent).
The Yield shows how "worth it" an animal is in terms of the amount of coins/experience received per pound of flesh. Specifically, it is the Max Coins per Health. Animals with good yield (0.5 to 1) are highlighted in green. Used with Max Coins, it can help you find the best animals to target at your level and strength.
To level up the fastest, consider the highest XP animals you can kill quickly without needing to recharge. Remember that many high-yield animals like gyrfalcons, honey badgers, reindeer, etc come in flocks and herds making them even more valuable. Using speed boost can further accelerate hunting these flocks and herds down, increasing the rate of leveling up.
Hunting large animals with a group/partner can be fun too. However, to be more effective in fast leveling, hunt with a partner close to your level and strength or with a strong partner who allows you to get the kill shots. Otherwise, you won't get much experience/coins from these group hunts.
For example, I get more coins from soloing a reindeer than from group hunting a black aurochs. The amount of damage I do relative to the stronger level 50 players present is so low that I get almost nothing. Literally, I have gotten just a few hundred coins for my part in killing a black aurochs on many occasions.
*This is a work in progress as I search for maps with lvl 99 animals. If you see an animal I'm missing or have information to fill in, please feel free to let me know. The ones hardest for me to find so far are in Mammoth Creek. As also the early-stage animals that disappear later, like the boar, bull, and bear.
Master Animal List with Fastest Leveling
Everything about the game goes here, if it doesn't fit anywhere else!

Re: Master Animal List with Fastest Leveling
I would like to point out that the animals have different defense stats so the effective HP is very different but this is still very very useful. Appreciate for the work!

2nd T20: India beat Sri Lanka by 88 runs, Rohit records fastest joint T20I ton
Rohit Sharma bludgeoned the Sri Lankan attack with a record-equalling 35-ball century and powered India to a series-sealing 88 run win in the second Twenty20 International in Indore on Friday.
Rohit equalled South African David Miller's record en route his coruscating knock of 118 that propelled India to a colossal 260 for five after being invited to bat.
The hosts shot the Lankans for 172 to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, rendering the third T20 in Mumbai on Sunday, inconsequential.
Kusal Perera top-scored for Sri Lanka with his 37-ball 77-run knock but the visitors were out of the game after Rohit's blitzkrieg. They maintained a decent run-rate but it was not going to be enough. From being 145 for one in 13.1 overs, they collapsed to 172 in 17.2 overs. Once the 109-run second-wicket partnership between Upal Tharanga (47 off 29) was broken by leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal (4/52), the Lankans innings fell apart. Angelo Mathews did not come out to bat and when the ninth wicket fell in the form of Dushmanta Chameera, India were declared winners. None of the Sri Lankan batsman, barring the top-three, could manage a double-digit score.
Earler, Rohit Sharma bulldozed the Sri Lankan attack with a whirlwind record-equalling 35-ball century and powered India to a colossal 260 for five in the second Twenty20 International.
Rohit equalled South African David Miller's record of 35 -ball century, en route to a coruscating knock of 118, his second T20 hundred and the best by an Indian in this format.
In an incredible display of hitting, rather punishing of the bowlers, the Indian captain smashed 12 fours and 10 sixes during his 43-ball stay at the crease. It was not power-hitting but sheer elegance which came with remarkable ease. There was never a dull moment till the time Rohit was at the crease as he pulled, cut and drove the clueless Lankan bowlers at will. In the process he raised a 165-run stand for the first wicket, the highest for India, with KL Rahul, who scored 89 off 49 balls.
India's total is joint second highest in T20Is with only Australia's 263 for three against Sri Lanka being a better effort.
Sri Lanka had scored 260-6 against Kenya at Johannesburg in 2007.
Before being caught at short third man off Dushmantha Chameera, the Indian captain left the Lankans shell-shocked but delighted the home fans at the jam-packed Holkar stadium, hosting its first ever T20 International.
After his departure, former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was promoted yet again to bat at number three and he and Rahul raised a 78-run partnership. Dhoni scored 27 off 21 balls with two fours and as many sixes.
Here are some reactions in Twitter on Rohit Sharma's explosive innings:

Check out our latest video. It's actually another different way of mobilizing the AC joint. I actually like it a lot better than our previous video (although they really aren't doing the same thing). So, check out this update and try it out on your patients. Then, let us know what you think!Read More
The AC joint can be a very stubborn (and stiff) joint that wreaks havoc in patients with shoulder limitations or pain. There are many ways to mobilization or manipulate this joint to restore movement. However, I haven't really seen any mobilizations that specifically work to improve congruency of the joint and/or abduction range of motion. This video explains my thought process and how I've worked to improve these two things on a patient with previous history of grade II separation.Read More

Summer is here, which means more sun and more sweat! And for those who like to wear detachable wigs, it can sometimes mean more struggle.
But it doesn't have to be! We have worked with many clients who wear wigs, and have come up with our list of the best advice for keeping your head cool – both literally and figuratively!
- Switch to synthetic wigs during the hotter days.
Natural human hair wigs look and feel better – we totally understand. But these wigs can be heavy, and human hair is more susceptible to sun damage. Synthetic wigs are lighter, and since they are less expensive, it'll be easier on your wallet to replace them in the event that they are damaged from the weather.
- Use heat-resistant and sunblock hair products.
There are many over-the-counter products that can help protect your hair from the sun and heat. Even with synthetic wigs, they can extend the life of your wigs and still keep your scalp cooler by deflecting the sun.
- Wear lightweight hats.
A wide-brimmed, floppy straw hat is a great choice for many wig-wearers, as they offer the most sun protection for both your hair and face. Plus, they are stylish and will look cute with any summer outfit you wear!
- Consider using a gel band and lighter wig cap.
Many people will wear a cap underneath their wig and some kind of glue to keep their wigs in place. Both have lighter weight options built for the summer. Gel bands especially are great because they help to cool your head, as well. Stretch caps also offer better ventilation than typical wig caps.
- Wash your wigs often.
Sometimes simply running them under cool water and leaving them on a head form is sufficient for extending the life of your wigs. Product and debris that's left to build up on your wigs can weigh them down, causing you to not get the very best from your wigs.
- Choose light colors and short hair for your wigs.
Darker colors get hotter faster because they absorb light better than lighter colors, so opt for a blonde or platinum look this summer. You can also choose a short hairstyle like a pixie cut or bob cut to keep hair away from your body, and spend less time styling your hair, too!
If you need to shop for a new wig this summer, come into one of our two hair restoration studios servicing the Los Angeles area. Our experienced and friendly team of stylists will help you find the right wigs, and can answer any questions you have about hair restoration treatments and solutions.
Book a FREE consultation today via our online form, or call us at 310-477-2320 for our Los Angeles hair restoration studio on Olympic Blvd., or 818-999-9952 for our Woodlands Hills location.

Multinational investment, since the beginning, has primarily been a phenomenon of the developed countries. Until about 2000, the geographical composition of multinational activityãwas highly concentrated in terms of both the recipient as well as the donor countries. However, with the turn of the century, developing countries started improving their shares both in inflows and in outflows of multinational investment.The book provides a comprehensive examination and analysis ofãmultinational investmentãfrom emerging Asian countries with emphasis on Indian multinationals, and derives policy implications with respect to home country measures for developing countries. Existing theories ofãmultinational investmentãare looked at, and the book manages to highlight what cannot be explained by the existing theories with respect toãmultinational investmentãfrom developing countries. It goes on to identify determinants ofãmultinational investmentãfrom Asian developing countries, and the author presents an analysis of Indian multinationals in order to bring out distinctive characteristics and strategies of Asian multinationals.

Manheim Central Shows Off Its Weaponry In Shutout Victory Over Garden Spot
Written by: Andy Herr on Saturday, October 20th, 2018. Follow Andy Herr on Twitter.
Upon entering the quaint and homely town of Manheim, Pennsylvania, travelers are met with a sign just outside of the city limits that lists the various churches and organizations contained within this small town that oozes the essence of old-school Americana. And while those groups are certainly essential members of the community fabric at large, let's be perfectly honest for a moment. The sign that welcomes you into Manheim could just as easily list one simple phrase on it that likely wouldn't cause even the slightest stir. "Manheim, PA — Football Town U.S.A."
It's true. While there is certainly a smattering of other towns across the county that fit the mold, including even a few others around the greater Harrisburg area for that matter, you'd be hard-pressed to find many others that do football "right" better than the good folks residing in Manheim that have helped transform their high school football program into arguably the very backbone of the town itself.
Aside from the embarrassment of riches which take the shape of gold trophies sitting inside the school's trophy case, the kind that would cause most other schools to salivate over for even just a morsel of, nearly the entire town's population seems to travel to locales both near and far to support their beloved Barons each and every Friday night. And if production past the high school level is more your cup of tea, they've done just fine in that regard too. Scores of Barons have gone on to play college football at the highest levels, including a select few making it all the way to the grandest of all stages, the NFL, highlighted by one former alum who currently is the head coach of the league's third-oldest franchise. Not too shabby huh?
Now sure, it'd be fair to say you cannot live off of previous history alone, but there's just one problem with that line of thinking — The 2018 edition of the Barons appear to be right on pace to ultimately place their names amongst the very best in the rich and storied history that is Manheim Central Football.
Coming into their game Friday night at Garden Spot, the Barons were in a word, rolling. Entering the night with a sparkling 8-0 record to their name, Manheim Central had successfully played the role of Lancaster-Lebanon League behemoth of late, outscoring their previous four opponents by a staggering combined score of 182-37.
Standing on the opposite sideline Friday night, the Garden Spot Spartans were on the prowl for any sort of late-season momentum heading into their final two games of the season. And although Garden Spot came into the night with the exact opposite record at 0-8, the fact of the matter was that the GS offense would at least have the ability to keep the Manheim Central defense honest and go stride for stride with the mighty Barons as evidenced by the 49 total points the Spartans had been able to drop in their last two outings against Section 2 stalwarts E-Town and Cocalico respectively. And what better way to generate some positive, lifetime memories than by buckling up the chinstraps and lacing up the cleats with a shot at taking down one of the state's very best on your home field on Senior Night.
So, with a Section 2 championship hanging the balance, the Barons and their ever-present faithful made the 40 minute drive eastward to the rolling farmlands of New Holland on a chilly Friday evening for the opportunity to cross off the first goal on their season-long checklist.
Needless to say, they would not disappoint.
Despite the fact that Garden Spot would be able to pick up a first down on their opening possession of the contest, the Spartans would ultimately be turned away by the stingy Manheim Central defense, leading to a punting situation with MC's Colby Wagner trotting back deep to have the honors. From there, the game was forever changed.
Thanks to the suburb blocking by way of the Barons' return unit, the 5'11 junior receiver/defensive back needed only to get to the outside edge along the Garden Spot sideline and it was lights out from there as Wagner's 77-yard punt return touchdown quickly put the Barons up 7-0 with 8:58 to go in the first quarter.
And just as they had done their previous time out on the field, the Barons' defense would end up yielding a first down to Garden Spot by way of the Spartans' dangerous dual-threat sophomore quarterback, Jesse Martin, as Martin was able to slip through a would-be MC sack and proceeding to rumble 11-yards down the field on 3rd& 9 to give GS a fresh set of downs at the GS 47-yard line. Ultimately however, this drive too would peter out as a 4th & 6 pass sailed incomplete, giving the ball back to the Barons at the midfield stripe.
The good news for Garden Spot? The Manheim Central offense had been kept off the field for over half of the first quarter. The bad news? The Barons were already leading 7-0. Not only that, but once the Barons' offense did arrive onto the field, Manheim Central needed to only navigate 50 yards. And right on cue, the Barons went right to work.
Aided by a sweet pitch and catch from dazzling junior QB Evan Simon on the edge to senior wideout Will Rivers, the Barons were in quickly business with the ball now resting at the Spartans' 29-yard line. On the very next play, the Barons would find themselves even closer to paydirt after a 14-yard gallop by workhorse senior running back Tyler Flick as Manheim Central suddenly found themselves inside the GS redzone. Yet even though the Barons would be met with a formidable challenge on the ensuing few plays, Central was ultimately able to find the endzone once again as Flick was able to race in from 11-yards out on 3rd& 5, giving the visiting Barons the 14-0 advantage with 3:55 left to go in the opening period.
In the game's opening quarter, the same familiar theme seemed to repeat itself when the Garden Spot offense was pitted against the Manheim Central defense. The Spartans would be able to generate a first down early in the drive and start moving the ball down the field, only to be met with much more stronger resistance later on in the series, leading to extremely difficult third and fourth down scenarios. And sure enough, those same things seemed to play themselves out once again on the Spartans' third possession. On this drive, the Garden Spot offensive momentum would grind to a halt courtesy of Nick Griest as the MC senior linebacker was able to storm through the Spartans' offensive line, stuffing the GS 4th& 2 attempt, and giving the ball back to the Barons' offense at their own 48-yard line.
Once the second quarter got underway, the Barons found themselves on the move once more, but faced with a quandary in the form of 3rd& 7 from the Garden Spot 36-yard line. However, when you have the talents of a savvy signal-caller like Evan Simon at your disposal, those sometimes inauspicious situations can often shift and be viewed as opportunities. Case in point, Simon dropping back to pass and finding wideout Ben Wagner sitting down on his route, as the Manheim Central junior duo was good for the 13-yard pickup and 1stdown with the ball now sitting on the GS' 23-yard line. From there, it was time to call upon Tyler Flick as the Barons' bully of a tailback bulldozed his way across the chalk line, giving Manheim Central the 21-0 cushion following the Hunter Hess PAT with 10:58 still left to play in the opening half.
Unfortunately for the Garden Spot offense, Friday night's second quarter would be much tougher sledding than the opening act with the Barons already playing with a big lead and the MC defense starting to smell blood in the water. The evidence? Garden Spot's ensuing offensive series which would come to an end by way of a Troy Kolk sack on third down.
However, the Garden Spot offense would return to the field just one play later as the Spartans' punt found itself taking an odd bounce and ultimately touching a member of the Manheim Central return unit with the Spartans pouncing on the loose pill, giving the ball back to the Garden Spot offensive troops at their own 43-yard line.
It would quickly turn out to be a brief return to the field however as MC's Colby Wagner was able to read his keys perfectly and snag the errant Garden Spot pass before turning up field and proceeding to race 56-yards to the house with his new prize as Wagner's pick 6, his second TD of the ballgame, gave Manheim Central the commanding four score advantage at 28-0 with 8:25 to play in the first half.
But they wouldn't stop there.
After another three and out that was administered by the Manheim Central defense, the Barons' offense returned to the field with the ball sitting on Garden Spot's side of the field eager to inflict more damage. It wouldn't take them very long to do exactly that.
On the first play of the drive, Evan Simon was able to connect with Isaac Perron for a 38-yard pickup as the senior wideout was able to put the Barons right on the precipice again with the ball just inside the Spartans' 10-yard line. From there, the gameplan was simple — Give the ball to Tyler Flick. Sure enough, Flick would be able to carry the mail once again for the Barons as Flick's third touchdown of the contest, this one of the 7-yard variety, put Manheim Central up 35-0 following the Hess PAT with 6:43 to go in the second quarter.
Another Garden Spot punt, another short field for Manheim Central to work with. And just like last time, it would take the Barons all of two plays to find the endzone as a 16-yard pitch and catch from Evan Simon to Isaac Perron quickly put the Barons over the 40-point bulge at 42-0 with 3:47 to play in the half.
Unfortunately for the home-standing Spartans, it quickly went from bad to worse on the first play of their ensuing offensive series as a fumble was scooped up the Manheim Central defensive unit with the Barons sitting in prime position to score once again following the takeaway. And score they would as Tyler Flick's 15-yard touchdown, his fourth of the first half, made it a 49-0 affair with Manheim Central in front with 2:07 still left to tick off the second quarter clock.
Truth be told however, the Garden Spot offense was able to do some things Friday night against the Barons' starting defensive unit. And never was that more evident than with the Spartans' final drive of the first half as GS flashed elements of the tempo-game, picking up yards in chunks.
The first key play of the Spartans' drive was shaped by a dart across the middle from QB Jesse Martin to senior wideout Zeb Fisher as the 17-yard strike on 3rd& 7 quickly moved the Garden Spot troops out to their own 40-yard line. From there, Martin was able to show off his arm talent once more with a nice pass, this one on the outside to sophomore running back John Dykie, as the Spartans' sophomore tandem moved GS into Barons' territory at the 43-yard line.
Ultimately however, the drive and the first half at large would come to a fitting conclusion as a pair of sacks back-to-back authored by Ben Sheaffer and Colby Wagner respectively put a bow on a resounding opening statement as the Barons from Manheim jogged off into the locker room firmly in command at 49-0.
Starting off the second half, it was quickly more of the same from Manheim Central. Literally.
On the second half opening kickoff, Manheim Central's Will Rivers was able to blaze a path to the endzone from 89-yards away, returning it all the way back for a touchdown which put the Barons up 56-0 with just 14 seconds having expired off the third quarter clock.
And once again, the Manheim Central defense was looking to feast in their first exhibition of the second half. Sure enough, they were able to do precisely that as MC's Isaac Perron was able to snare an interception and bolt up field all the way down to the Garden Spot 26-yard line, setting the Manheim Central offense up with a golden opportunity once again.
From there, it was Chris Shaw's opportunity to get in on the action as the Barons' senior running back was able to put his name up in lights after the 26-yard touchdown run, completing the one-play drive with Manheim Central firmly in command at 63-0 with 9:30 left in the third stanza.
But it wasn't all bad for Garden Spot defensively on Friday night. In fact, their next time out on the field saw the Spartans turn in a magnificent series with big sticks administered by Luke Shirk and Daniel Yang respectively. From there, Jesse Martin was able to put the exclamation mark on the stellar GS defensive series by collecting an interception, adding to his already well-rounded night of work.
Ultimately however, the bulk of the damage had already been done as the Barons were able to cruise home from there, earning the shutout victory and Section 2 crown in the process, turning away Garden Spot 63-0.
Even despite the eventual final score, this week was still far from easy in the days leading up to Friday night. It's been said that the biggest intangible in life is human emotion. Well, seeing such a polar opposite in overall records can be a mental exercise for teams — An exercise that sometimes witnesses undisciplined squads venture off into left field. But not Manheim Central. They've been here before.
"I think we were as locked-in as we could be," Manheim Central head coach Dave Hahn said following Friday night's triumph. "You're battling 15, 16, 17, 18-year old kids and getting them to focus on the task at hand and to not look ahead. We knew the situation. I just tried to stress to them that it's not about the records. It's about us and preparing for the next week and the week after that and just keeping that mental edge."
If Friday night is to serve as any sort of indication, it appears that the message was received loud and clear.
NEXT UP: From here, Manheim Central will look to finish off the regular season with a perfect 10-0 record and firmly entrench themselves on the #1 seed line heading into the District 3 5A playoffs when the Barons collide with Solanco back home at the friendly confines of Elden Rettew Field in Manheim next Friday night. And sure, from the outside looking in, it'd be fair to question what Manheim Central could possibly polish up on before the postseason kicks off for real considering their dominance thus far in the regular season. But when you see the team on daily basis such as someone like Coach Hahn does, the Barons' head man knows full-well that his squad is far from the finished product in order for this year's team to achieve all possible goals set forth before them.
"Everything," Hahn said simply in regards to what he hopes to clean up in the days and weeks to come. "We're looking at our run game and just becoming more solid in our perimeter runs. We did pretty well with our passing game tonight, but we didn't get enough work and that is what it is. We're still looking for continued consistency there."
And as far as the third phase of the game?
"Special teams played really well tonight," Coach Hahn went on to say. "That kept us from being on the field as much offensively so that was a good spot, but we've got to get better on special teams. Tonight was a step in the right direction."
"We have a lot to work on," the Manheim Central boss went on to sum up matter of factly. "Every day is a new day and a new challenge."
For Garden Spot, the Spartans will take their show on the road next week into Lebanon County for the final L-L League mandatory crossover game with GS looking for their first win of the season in Cornwall against Cedar Crest. Yet even though this season has certainly not gone the way that those in New Holland had hoped for, the Spartans are certainly not void of talent as evidenced on Friday night against the best of the best. Heading into next season, Garden Spot will retain the potent 1-2 tandem of then-junior quarterback Jesse Martin and running back John Dykie which bodes well for the immediate future in New Holland. Add in the fact that the Spartans' roster is already littered with juniors and sophomores, and it's easy to see why Garden Spot quickly becomes one of the more intriguing ballclubs to keep an eye on over the next few years in the Lancaster-Lebanon League.

The Japanese Matryomin Ensemble. Source: Press photo
Moscow's Multimedia Art Museum hosted a Russo-Japanese theremin concert in late September. The unique event featured the compositions of the heads of the Russian and Japanese theremin schools – Masami Takeuchi, Natalia Theremin and Peter Theremin.
The evening's main event was the performance of a Japanese matryomin ensemble under the direction of Masami Takeuchi. The band used a modified version of the theremin, the world's first non-contact instrument, which was invented by Soviet physicist Leon Theremin in the early 20th century.

Masami Takeuchi, head of the Japanese school of theremin and leader of the unusual musical ensemble spoke to RBTH about the origins of the matryomin, a matryoshka-shaped theremin.
"In 1993, I came to Moscow specially to learn to play the theremin from the famous Russian music teacher Lydia Kavina," he said.
According to Takeuchi, there were no theremin performers in Japan in the early 1990s. After returning to Japan, he became the first thereminist in the country's history.
In 2003, Masami decided to put a theremin inside a matryoshka doll.

"I thought that for the presentation and promotion of this musical instrument in Japan, you need to add a little pop culture," Takeuchi said. He added that matryoshkas are made of linden wood, which works as a very good acoustic resonator.
A year after creating the new version of the theremin, Takeuchi formed his first matryomin musical orchestra, and has since taken part in 140 concerts and over 90 television and radio shows.

"Thanks to Masami Takeuchi, the matryomin created a whole theremin culture in Japan in a short time," said Peter Theremin, the great-grandson of the musical instrument's inventor and the head of the Moscow Theremin School.
Takeuchi is the founder of the Takeuchi Theremin Institute, which publishes the Thereminik monthly magazine. He also founded the Friends of the Theremin association, which currently has about 200 members, and opened a network of schools to teach playing the theremin in Japan.

I've always rather liked the idea of mak…
I've always rather liked the idea of making e-mail non-free, but I was looking at it from the perspective of the sender: associating a cost with sending e-mail will reduce the amount that gets sent. (This idea has been proposed as a remedy for spam, and one that I think makes a lot of sense. A trivial per-note cost wouldn't bother most of us, but it would put spammers out of business.)
You propose an interesting twist, where the amount you pay to send a note is proportional to its importance (to you, anyway). It would be fascinating to see how such an economy would affect the mix of e-mail one receives; but I'm not sure whether it would be good or bad. After all, the sender's sense of what is important is often not the same as mine.
Oh, and I think sense 3 of exemplary is what was meant: "serving as an example, instance, or illustration." A correct usage, if not the one normally employed nowadays.


text: Health Wise with Crystal Han Overeating During the Holidays W ith Thanksgiving just behind us, the temptation to eat as much delicious food as possible may or may not have gotten the best of us. But we're not done yet. Since the holidays only roll around once a year, it might be easy for us to justify overindulging in the things we like. After all, a few days of binge eating here and there can't hurt us, right? In a way, this is true, but that doesn't mean that overeating doesn't have its dangers. On average, Americans consume around 3,000 extra calories during a Thanksgiving meal. While this might sound alarming, the good news is that it takes about 3,500 calories over what your body normally burns to gain a single pound of fat, meaning that you'll walk away from your Thanksgiving meal only one pound heavier. That one-time splurge is certainly not going to give you diabetes or heart disease, but it can easily trigger a cycle of overeating. When you overload on too much food, your body goes into a "red alert" mode. Rather than working to convert the food you've eaten into healthy by- products, your body sends its hormonal and metabolic systems into overdrive to manage the sheer quantity of what it's getting. Your pancreas produces extra insulin to quickly remove the sudden rush of sugar in your bloodstream, and it will continue to do this until your brain signals that your blood sugar levels are safe. Usually by the time your brain sends this signal, too much sugar has been removed, resulting in a low blood sugar episode that leaves you feeling tired, dizzy, and sometimes depressed. These unpleasant feelings are often abated by eating more sugars and carbs, bringing you back to square one. With Christmas following right on the heels of Thanksgiving, and the subsequent parties, potlucks, and family feasts, it's easy to see how splurging at one event sets the stage for splurging at others. Your body quickly decides that the excess food you're consuming is the new normal and it comes to expect more at every meal, making it even harder to resist all of those delicious treats. If you continue to overeat, your stomach eventually loses the ability to signal the brain that you're full, which further exacerbates the problem. Much like when you start a strict diet, when you try to return to a normal caloric intake after the holidays, your body responds as though you're being starved. You feel perpetually hungry and irritable, prompting you to reach for more food to feel better. And sure, maybe this only results in a few extra holiday season pounds, but those pounds can quickly add up as the years go by, making it more diffi cult and more discouraging to lose them.

Mrs. Suzanne Cordon-World Language Teacher
1. What is one item on your bucket list? Why?
Machu Picchu. I just have to make it there someday, and I believe in my heart that I will. I am so fascinated by all of the mysteries behind the ruins and knowledge of this ancient civilization.
2. What book are you currently reading?
Inés del alma mia by Isabel Allende. Reading novelas in Spanish is one of my favorite pastimes. This one is a beautiful memoir of a woman looking back on her life.
3. Who is your mentor?
I have been lucky to have had many wonderful mentors at different times of my life. I had an incredible French professor in college who pushed me and encouraged me during my first years and became a trusted advocate and friend by the time I graduated. I'll never forget the experience I had traveling with her through France and learning first-hand a lot of what she taught us in the classroom. My biggest mentor throughout my entire life though, was definitely my grandfather who passed away a few years ago. His words of wisdom are still very present in my mind and often come in handy. There are still times I wish I could ask him for advice.
4. What would your superpower be?
I would want to be omnilingual. I believe that when you understand another language and culture, you adopt a new way of thinking and I'd love to be able to understand everyone in the world's way of thinking. I also love the deep and meaningful connections you make when you speak a foreign language with a native speaker. It's a wonderful thing.
5. Where is the best place you have traveled to and why?
That is a very hard question. I have been fortunate and have traveled to many places. I'm torn between two; France and Guatemala. I have family in Guatemala so traveling there is like going to a home away from home, just a little more rural and tropical. However, Mont Saint Michel, Normandy in the gulf of Saint-Malo, France is definitely the most breathtaking and beautiful place I have ever been. I love meandering through the medieval village as you make the steep climb up to the very top of the abbey on this secluded island where you stop and take in the magnificent view of the French countryside and the bay. I remember being overcome with an overwhelming sense of peace both times I visited there. I'd love to go back!
6. If you could do any job for just one day what would it be?
When I was younger my dream was to be a multilingual interpreter for tours and travel groups. I imagined myself traveling to exotic places and serving as a multilingual guide for tourists. So that would be my dream job for a day.
7. Tell us something that might surprise us about you.
I am learning Russian. I have been for several months now. It is thanks to some of the wonderful families here at Meadowbrook that have inspired me and provided me with awesome books and videos to be able to study this beautiful and incredibly complicated language. I think it's a good thing to be in the same position as my students and remember what it is like to be a learner in the field I am teaching and not only the teacher.
8. What is your favorite thing about Meadowbrook?
Wow, I love so many things about Meadowbrook it is hard to choose just one. I think what I love most having been a student, a teacher and now also a parent at this wonderful school is that there is always something to look forward to. It's the passion of the amazing faculty and staff that keep such incredible traditions alive; while also introducing new endeavors that make learning so exciting for the entire community.

Halloween is almost here and if you want to decorate, there are some super cute new cut files for sale on CanvasWorkspace.
I used the treat box cut file (upper right in the image above and larger below)…
…but added my own flair with some glitter…
…and a few bats (one of the built-in cut files in the DX225):
You're supposed to put candy inside the box, but I thought the shadow was too cool to do that:
I love that it's so easy to add your own personal touch to any of the cut files you purchase — choose your own colors, add elements, take away elements. No one says that you have to create the item as intended. Add your own flair!
I hope you have a crafty Halloween!
Talk to you next week!

I Want One!
January 12th, 2005 Leave a comment Go to comments
The new Mac Mini. I have thought for sometime about buying an Apple, but probably would have lumped for an iBook. However, I couldn't quite find a way to leave Windows behind totally (what with doing Uni work and so on in Windows).
However, now I probably could. Think one of these may be my next machine, or maybe an iBook still.

I like a good title. And no, I don't mean the Your Honour or Mr Recorder type titles. Which is a good job because I do not like the idea of taking a comprehension test beyond the age of fifteen. But I digress.
No, when I mean I like a good title, I mean for a blog. And for this blog about the new Lord Chancellor I kept thinking about a little word play with famous song titles, usually around the word "love". So titles were considered and rejected; "Gove Will Tear Us Apart" (too gloomy); "All You Need Is Gove" (too Tory cheerleader); "Gove On The Rocks" (unrealistic); and, as a variation on a theme, the Smiths' classic "Hand in Gove" (just too weird).
Eventually I decided upon "Untitled" because the story of Michael Gove, Lord Chancellor, is a story too new to be pigeon holed by some semi-illiterate pun. And that is the beauty of the situation.
I have read and heard much in the way of speculation. Much of it from people who I respect, much of it from people who have some form of inside knowledge.
One school of thought says that we should judge Gove by what happened in Education. He was deeply unpopular with the troops on the ground in that field and we should expect him to be a similar thorn in our side. He imposed his will on the education system despite warnings from those with greater experience and we face the same.
Another school of thought says that this is a period of rehabilitation for Gove, bruised after losing the Education job. That he will want this to be a success by first avoiding a repeat of the animosity and resentment that saw him out of office. He will not want a war.
Others look at his predecessor. It is said that Grayling had suffered too many reverses in the High Court and Cameron needed someone more assured to bring home the final phase of the cuts to Legal Aid. Gove is a close ally of Cameron and can be trusted to finish the job. It is not exactly as if Leader of the Commons is viewed as a plum role as reward for a job well done by Grayling.
Meanwhile some say that, in Grayling, Cameron had a zealot to the cause. A man driven by the pursuit of budgetary savings and committed to seeing it through. If there was still the desire to see further cuts, then Grayling would have remained. If a gentle retreat is called for, then it is much easier for a fresh pair of eyes to see the need for a different approach.
There is a compelling logic in much of what is said. Somebody, somewhere will be proved right. But at this moment in time it is still a story unwritten. The facts are still to unfold.
So what do we know? We know that a party was thrown on the streets outside the MoJ to bid farewell to Grayling. And now he is gone. Just let that sink in – Grayling is no longer the author of our futures. There was a time when we would rather have Rasputin in Petty France than Grayling.
We have a new ear to listen to our arguments. We have to make our case that the second cut need not be made. That Two-Tier is therefore not required. That we can offer further efficiency savings. That the CJS is in need of resuscitation, not starvation.
These arguments must be first and be strong. They should be delivered with all the persuasion that is the hallmark of the best of the two professions. And they should be made by our representatives with the unity of us all adding momentum to their efforts.
Finally they should be made with the nature and strength of our other course plain for all to see. We do not threaten but we make it clear – talk and negotiation is not the last resort.
This is not weakness, this allows us to demonstrate the strength of our case. This is not appeasement, it is the appropriate seizing of an opportunity we have hoped for.
We will get an early indication of our prospects of success. The new Lord Chancellor needs to pause the tender process in order to allow the room for negotiations to take place. If the process is pursued notwithstanding the obvious logic in at least pausing it then we will know. We will know little has changed.
Let us hope that Gove Changes Everything. *sorry*

At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom.

A question that often comes up when I tell people that I work as a Project Producer is "Wow, nice… What is that?" The ways of managing projects are many, and practices in different companies. In this post, I describe how we manage projects at Sangre.
At Sangre, we currently have two full-time Project Producers working as part of the client project teams. The essence of a Project Producer's work is making sure that our leads, designers and developers can focus on doing what they do best. In practice, it means handling things such as client communications, budgeting, resourcing, billing, handling materials, meetings, writing offers, and helping anyone with anything they need, when they need it.
You're probably thinking, "Wait a minute… That sounds a lot like a project manager." The difference is subtle, but in our view, quite substantial. Sangre is a flat organization, and we don't want to create a level of management between the team and the client. The Project Producer is a facilitator, not a manager. The team shares responsibility over the end result, and the Producer is part of the team. By having a dedicated Producer in their project, our clients get the benefit of accessing a variety of services through one contact person. This doesn't mean the rest of the team won't communicate directly with the client - they do. We never want to limit communication in any way between the team and the client.
The Project Producer is a facilitator, not a manager. The team shares responsibility over the end result, and the Producer is part of the team.
It's not an easy job and it's certainly not for everyone. Juggling multiple projects and being the go-to person for team members means that there can be a lot of distractions. Excel is your best friend. Emails - a lot of them. While we do roadmap our projects, working in an agile manner means you can never plan everything ahead to the last detail. There are always changes and as a Project Producer, you need to be able to handle ambiguity. (More emails. Emails, emails, emails.) As a Producer, your job is to make sure that the team as well as our client is happy. Sometimes they're not, and you need to take a long, hard, look at yourself in the mirror and then be the one to deal with it – discussing the issues openly with the client and making adjustments with the team.
Having said that, there's nothing quite as rewarding as seeing your team doing what they do best and delivering amazing results that the client loves. Also, being involved in, well, kind of everything that's going on in the projects means that you have a constant view of where the company is going and how we're doing.
Being involved in, well, kind of everything that's going on in the projects means that you have a constant view of where the company is going and how we're doing.
Our core business is design and coding, and of course, numbers count. Anyone working in an agency must create value for the client's business. A Producer's share of billable work is usually around 30-60%. It sounds fairly low, but having someone to do all the "invisible" work that keeps clients happy but which they don't pay for, means that everyone else can focus on doing the work that clients are happy to pay for. When Sangre first hired producers into the company, we saw a considerable leap in overall productivity. And of course, designers and developers became a lot happier once they could focus on their core work instead of all the clutter around it.
The best part for me is that working in various client projects as a Producer I get to constantly learn about different industries, trends and technologies. The ever-changing nature of my work means that things never get boring. At Sangre, everyone is encouraged to shape their role according to their own interests. For me, that means being a part of the design team and creating content for client projects and our marketing - and treating the team to an in-house yoga class every few weeks.
If you want to know more about projects and working at Sangre, you can read my interview here or send me a message on Linkedin to chat more.

It is usually great to be a member of the club and the 138 Casino Slot Club makes no exception. You can get a nice rebate to boost your winnings when playing your favorite slot machine games, just by joining the club. All members get a helpful 0.8% rebate of up to £138 each month.
The first thing you need to do is sign up for the Slot Club. Before playing any casino games, contact the customer support team and let them know you wish to join. After answering a few basic questions about yourself as a player, you will become a member with full benefits. From now on, all eligible casino games bring you a 0.8% rebate and you can earn as much as £138 every month just by playing as a member. Like they say, the first rule of the Slot Club is to enjoy your favorite games with an additional advantage over the regular folks. You will know you have been accepted when you receive the confirmation mail.
Lucky number 7
The cash rebate is paid automatically to all members by the 7th of every month, for the playing activity of the previous month. To be able to withdraw the amount, you need to clear it only one time (x1) by playing any slot games available. If you wish to know your wagering progress, you can contact the 24/7 customer service and they will update you with the current status.
Qualifying games for the rebate include a huge selection of slot machines, with more than 90 popular casino games.

Join the club, get the rebate
The rebate can be earned only when playing with your own free funds, as in no rebate is awarded for members who have active bonus funds in their balance. Also, any other bonuses or promotions cannot be combined with the rebate. This means you will not receive the 0.8% cashback while satisfying other wagering requirements, even if you are playing a casino game eligible for both promos. Still, members of the Slot Club can take advantage of all other rewards designed for regular players.

"Cancer is not a battle that we win or lose. It is not our fault or a sign of weakness. We are not responsible for our cancer outcomes. The crapshoot of cancer and recurrence can NOT be controlled. Celebrate yourself for each time you, despite all the trauma of cancer, treatment, and the mindset of "survivorship", choose to love, live, lust, laugh… We are not a success story based on our cancer progression or not. We succeed when we are courageous enough to keep walking forward even with missing parts, severe pain, addled brains, and broken hearts." ~Dr. Erica D. Bernstein
Those profound words by Dr. Bernstein really hit home with me. It was October 21, 2011 when I found out I had thyroid cancer.
You never forget the initial day and place when you hear you have cancer for the first time.
As anyone with cancer or in remission, you are always brought back to the initial fear and racing thoughts.
I have the aggressive variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma called Tall Cell.
It is shown to have a more aggressive behavior that other papillary cancers. Prognosis is poor because these Tall Cell tumors represent high local recurrence and suggest the necessity for aggressive treatment.
I was staged at mpT3 pN1a pMX or more simply 4A.
This means that I had multiple tumors that one or more was larger than 4cm and had grown outside of the thyroid, and has spread to nearby lymph nodes and tissue.
The tissue that was involved and had to be removed was my 'muscle strap' in the neck and 1 parathyroid.
The parathyroid regulates calcium and phosporous levels in your body. I now have to take calcium supplements daily. If I miss any doses I experience tingling sensations in my fingers and or face.
I had the initial high dose of radioactive iodine treatment (RAI) in February 2012, 3 months after surgery. About 6 months after, my saliva gland started to swell and become painful intermittently. I was told it is a side effect from the RAI and I might always have that problem.
I need to receive tracer (smaller) doses of RAI annually for the next 4 years. I had the first tracer dose last week. The preparation prior to receiving RAI is not pleasant.
This means being on a low iodine diet for 10 days. No dairy products, no store bought bread, no fish, no beans, nothing that contains salt or soy.
The worst part for me was the two Thyrogen injections. I experienced extreme physical weakness, nausea, deep bone pains.
There are times when I want to 'throw in the towel' and give up. The daily fatigue gets in the way of even simple chores. But I am a fighter and a rebel.
What Cancer Cannot Do
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot shut out memories
It cannot destroy confidence
It cannot silence courage
It cannot reduce eternal life
It cannot quench the spirit
It cannot corrode faith
I can...
I will...
End of story.
aka The Rebel Blogger

Test yourself in -EV situations
I decided to practice small-ball on Sunday. How? I bought into a deep stack table and saw nearly 50% of the flops. Try it sometime and you really gain some work on your post flop play. After losing a decent pot with TP to AA, I gained it all back and then some. Towards the end, not a single PP panned out and I finished up 6.5%. Playing 48% of the hands. Yowza.

Lee, Ming Foong and Shariffudin, Rio Sumarni and Mislan, Nora (2012) Pattern and relationship between multiple intelligences, personality traits and critical thinking skills among high achievers in Malaysia. In: 3rd International Conference on e-Education, e-Business, e-Management and e-Learning , 5 - 7 January 2012, Hong Kong.

Research findings have shown that learners encountered many learning difficulties. However, for effective learning one has to know oneself and having knowledge about one's strengths and weaknesses. The process of teaching and learning will be more effective and meaningful when teachers and learners know their potential, their unique styles, strengths and weaknesses in learning. Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences is a psychological and educational theory espousing that ten types of "intelligence" exist in humans, each relating to a different sphere of human life and activity. Nowadays, how learners interpret knowledge differs greatly from what used to be perceived by the teachers. The manner in which teachers deliver the knowledge may not match the expectations of the learners, thus results in teachers' instructional methods became inefficient and learners failed to learn. The dramatic change in learners should be balanced by an equal change in teachers' instruction especially among high achievers. This paper examines the Multiple Intelligences pattern, personality traits and critical thinking skills among the high achievers. The population involved were high achievers from all over Malaysia comprising of 1268 students selected at random from secondary schools enrolling high achievers such as boarding schools, Mara Science College, as well as religious schools nationwide. These data include the frequency, percentage and level of achievement and relationship for aspects of personality types, multiple intelligences and critical thinking skills of the high achievers. The Multiple Intelligences Inventory was modified and validated according to the research needs. The results showed that high achievers possess the following intelligences: Intrapersonal> Existential> Bodily/Kinesthetic> Logical/Mathematical > Visual/Spatial> Interpersonal > Verbal/Linguistic> Naturalist> Musical/Rhythmic. The personality traits of the high achievers are in the order EN>ES>IS>IN. Whilst their critical thinking skills are in the order of EA>DE>RA>IF>IT. The results also displayed some significant correlations between multiple intelligences, personality traits and critical thinking skills of high achievers.

LONDON (AP) — A hacking group has targeted European democratic institutions including think tanks and non-profit groups ahead of highly anticipated EU parliamentary elections in May, Microsoft said.
The company said Tuesday that a group called Strontium targeted email accounts for more than 100 people in six European countries working for the German Council on Foreign Relations, the Aspen Institutes in Europe and the German Marshall Fund.
Microsoft said in a blog post that it is continuing to investigate but is confident many of the attacks originated from Strontium, a group that others call Fancy Bear or APT28.

Authentication Solution Providers' Association Commemorates 16 years and Inducts New members Including Manipal Technologies and Kevin Metpack
~ASPA Reviews and Inducts Four New Members in its efforts to fight counterfeits~
Authentication Solution Providers' Association (ASPA), the world's only self-regulated and non-profit organization representing the interests of the entire authentication solutions industry, has completed 16 years. Formed on 1 December 1998 as HoMAI, it was re-launched in 2014 under the ASPA brand name to represent the transformation of products and services offered by its existing member companies. ASPA aims to become the singular voice of the authentication solution providers in Asia and around the world, and works closely with global authorities such as International Hologram Manufacturers Association (IHMA), Counterfeit Intelligence Bureau (CIB) and Interpol, as well as industry bodies in India such as FICCI CASCADE, CII, ASSOCHAM and Indian Institute of Packaging.
Mr. Manoj Kochar, President, Authentication Solution Providers' Association, said, "The last 16 years have been immensely enriching and successful for all our members. Adherence to the highest level of quality and ethical standards enshrined in the ASPA Code of Conduct has helped ASPA earn the trust of the industry and emerge as a strong voice in the hologram industry. We now strive to achieve the same for the entire ecosystem of authentication providers. We are totally committed to promoting adoption of ISO 12931 that lays down performance criteria for authentication solutions used to combat counterfeiting of material goods. From time to time, ASPA also plays a pivotal role in the development of security management standards to address specific requirements of its members and the wider authentication industry. I am excited that within just months of our re-launch, we have been receiving a tremendous response from industry leaders who want to join ASPA."
ASPA also announced that it has successfully completed the review and due diligence and has inducted four new member companies. Two of these are full members and include Manipal Technologies and Kevin Metpack Pvt Ltd.
With its production facilities in Manipal, Chennai, Mumbai and Delhi, and development center in Gurgaon, Manipal Tech provides wide ranging authentication solutions to a varied range of industry verticals such as banking, telecom, education, publishing, consumer goods and retail, financial services etc. Delhi-based KEVIN METPACK, which has manufacturing facilities in Gujarat, is a fully-integrated flexible packaging manufacturer with a 10,000 TPA strong converting capacity, that offers comprehensive integrated and secure flexible packaging solutionsfor processed foods, FMCG products etc.
The other two, namely Monotech Systems Limited and Creed Engineers Pvt. Ltd. are associate members. Both these companies are providers of associated machines and technologies to authentication solution providers.
ASPA invites membership from security hologram producers, state printing works, commercial high security printers, issuers of passport, ID and travel documents, suppliers of security substrates, and security features such as biometrics, identity card manufacturers and personalizers, suppliers and integrators of ID document projects such as passports, vehicle registration plate manufacturers, bar code and RFID solution providers, as well as any other authentication solution providers and suppliers to authentication solution providers. Its members already protect more than 10,000 brands worldwide. Last year, ASPA was instrumental in bringing the coveted global Holography Conference to India. ASPA recently partnered and exhibited at Smart Card Expo 2014, Label Expo India 2014 and is participating at The Holography Conference in Istanbul, Turkey.
