text: Only about one in five central Pennsylvania women who have experienced intimate partner violence is asked or counseled by a health care provider about abuse, according to Penn State medicine and public health science researchers. Overall, approximately only one in nine women has received preventive counseling about violence and safety. "Our research shows that we (as a healthcare community) haven't been doing a good job of identifying and counseling about intimate partner violence," said Jennifer S. McCall-Hosenfeld, primary care physician and assistant professor of medicine and public health sciences, Penn State College of Medicine. Of those women who participated in the Central Pennsylvania Women's Health Study, she said, "Only 20 percent who had been exposed to intimate partner violence received safety and violence counseling in the two years following the abuse, and only 11 percent of all women had discussed violence and safety at home with a health care provider. "McCall-Hosenfeld and colleagues Cynthia H. Chuang, associate professor of medicine and public health sciences, and Carol S. Weisman, Distinguished Professor of Public Health Sciences and Obstetrics and Gynecology, both at Penn State College of Medicine, examined preventive healthcare services for women of reproductive age and how exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) was associated with relevant preventive healthcare services. The study focused on women who had reported experiencing IPV -- specifically physical violence, sexual violence and threats of either by a current or former partner or spouse.More than a third of the women in the U.S. have experienced IPV, according to the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The researchers point out that this abuse can lead to serious immediate and long-term health problems, as a result of inadequate preventive health care services.Between 2004 and 2007 McCall-Hosenfeld and colleagues surveyed 1,420 women of reproductive age who were participating in the Central Pennsylvania Women's Health Study. The women responded to questions regarding intimate partner violence, healthcare access, socio-economic status and whether they had received preventive healthcare services. The researchers report their results in an article published in the March/April issue of Women's Health Issues. In the first survey the researchers established whether women had recently been exposed to IPV by asking them to respond "yes" or "no" to a series of questions. Each question was preceded by, "In the past 12 months, has a spouse, partner or boyfriend..." and completed with statements including "Threatened to hit you or throw something at you?" and "Pushed, grabbed, shoved or slapped you?"Two years after the first survey the researchers followed up with the women, asking about any preventive health care services and preventive counseling they had received over the past 24 months. Again, the women surveyed were asked to respond "yes" or "no" to a series of questions, including "Have you been tested for sexually transmitted infections or HIV?" and "Has a doctor or health professional asked you or talked to you about concerns about safety or violence in your home?"According to the study the findings represent "a missed opportunity for health promotion among women exposed to IPV." "Our data suggest that many women who have been exposed to IPV are not being appropriately identified in health care settings and are not getting many of the health care services they need," said McCall-Hosenfeld.In January 2013 the United States Preventive Services Task Force released a guideline recommending that clinicians screen all women of reproductive age for IPV and help provide intervention services when necessary."We have a long way to go for healthcare to be in compliance with this guideline," said McCall-Hosenfeld. "We'll need to have a culture shift in many settings so that healthcare providers are comfortable with asking patients about IPV, patients are comfortable with being asked and the health care systems work to ensure that all patients get the services they need."This study does not specifically address how to improve preventive services for those who have experienced IPV, McCall-Hosenfeld noted, but the need is now documented. She plans to continue research along this thread.Chuang is also associate director of research of the division of general internal medicine, Penn State College of Medicine, and research director of the Penn State Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health Program. Weisman is also principal investigator for the Central Pennsylvania Women's Health Study and associate dean for faculty affairs, Penn State College of Medicine.Source: Eurekalert << Patient Reports Via Telemedicine Result in Lower Blood Pres...

Brown, Hallie Q.
Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin was born in Boston in 1842. Her mother was an English girl, coming straight from Cornwall, England, to Boston where she married John James St. Pierre. The latter was a native of Taunton, Massachusetts, and a descendant from a long line of Indians, Negro and French antecedents, the Negro forebears coming originally from Africa. Because there were separate schools in Boston, Josephine St. Pierre was sent to the public schools of Charleston and Salem and later to a private school in New York, coming back to Boston at the opening of the public schools to colored pupils. She went to the old Bowdoin school which was the finishing school for girls as no high school had been started for girls up to that time. In 1858, Josephine St. Pierre married George L. Ruffin at a very youthful age. His family came from Virginia in the 'fifties' to seek opportunities for their children. Immediately after the wedding the young people set sail for Liverpool, England, planning not to rear children in a land which recognized slavery. Soon after their marriage agitation for freedom for the slave was gaining headway, and they soon returned to America in response to the fighting spirit which was a prominent part of Mrs. Ruffin's endowment, and often asserted itself in matters where justice and equity were concerned. From the time of her marriage until her death she was always identified with public movements.
The following were some of her many activities: She recruited soldiers during the Civil War; worked with the
She was invited into the New England Women's Club; was a volunteer under the Associated Charities for eleven years. She was organizer of the Boston movement for the "Kansas Exodus" sufferers. She formed the first Colored Women's Club in Boston and possibly the first in America. This was known as the "Women's Era Club" and she also called the first convention of colored women ever held in America which resulted in the formation of the first "National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs."
With her daughter Florida, who was associated with her in much of her public work, she founded the "Women's Era," a monthly magazine for club women, which was issued for ten years. Through the publication of this she became a member of the Women's Press Club of Boston, being the only colored member. She was also a charter member of the Moral Education Society. She founded the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs and went into the General Federation of Women's Clubs on the invitation of Mrs. Howe and Mrs. Cheney. She went into the famous Milwaukee Convention, after this invitation had been extended to the Women's Era Club, to meet the great opposition of Mrs. Rebecca Lowe, the southern President. Until eighty years of age Mrs. Ruffin was an active member of the Calhoun Club and the Sedalia Club, and was chairman of the League of Women for Community Service.
It is not forgotten today that this woman of many interests founded an association to help Mrs. Sharp's African School and that she also served as vice-president in this association with Edward Everett Hale as president.
Mrs. Ruffin has two children living, George L., and
In closing the life of Mrs. Ruffin, the writer wishes to quote some facts from a letter received from her daughter, Mrs. Florida Ridley, to whom she wrote for intimate facts concerning the life of her distinguished mother. Mrs. Ridley writes as follows,--
"My mother in her eightieth year attended 'Women's Day' at the Copley Plaza Hotel, November 16, 1921. On that day she headed the receiving line composed of distinguished women of Massachusetts. On our 'Founders Day,' In Massachusetts, celebrated nearly three years afterwards, on February 10, 1924, she was present and although the day was a frightfully stormy one, she went in a taxi by herself to a hair-dresser before she came to the reception, as mother was most particular about her personal appearance, retaining her good looks to the last. In February she was elected to the Board of Management of the Sedalia Club of Boston. In recently looking over the Manual of the Massachusetts State Federation of Women's Clubs, I found that my mother was one of the founders, her name is linked with those of Mabel Looms Todd, Ada Tillinghast and others as incorporators. This puts her not only as a pioneer in colored club work, but also as a pioneer in white.
"Mother was a member of Trinity Church of Boston, and her funeral was held from this church with three clergymen officiating, and the full-vested choir taking part. She was active until the very last, for it was on February 28, 1924, only a short time before her death, that she attended the annual meeting of the League of Women for Community service, where she cast her vote and waited with the rest of us until one o'clock in the morning for results. The end came March 13, 1924, after she had taken to her bed only a few days."

Perfume Oil Vanilla Musk, 1 Dram instructions
- Brand:Triloka
- Size/Form:1 Dram
- Ship Weight:0.50
Triloka Perfume Oil Vanilla Musk 1 Dram
Triloka Perfume Oil Vanilla Musk is a blend of plant and flower essences in a vegetable oil base. No harmful chemicals or alcohol are use. Triloka perfume oils are produced without animal testing, and no dyes or harmful chemicals are used. Natural essential oil are used whenever possible; however, some fragrances utilize natural identicals. Since Windrose Trading Company does not manufacture the Triloka perfume oils, they are unable to provide customers with the exact ingredients in these oils, but they have been assured that all ingredients are of the highest quality. Customers with a specific allergy to any oil product should not use Triloka perfume oils. Triloka Perfume Oil is for external use only.
Fair Trade Background of Windrose Trading Company At Windrose, they provide the highest quality Triloka aromatherapy incense and handcrafted gifts by supporting Fair Trade cottage industry partners. Windrose founders were among the first pioneers of Fair Trade cottage industry in India and Nepal. It has always been at the core of the values to partner with suppliers who are supporting worthy projects or foundations.
Net profits from a long-time Triloka incense producer have been supporting an Ayurvedic free clinic in India for over 20 years. The sage is sustainably harvested by a Native American reservation cooperative, which is preserving a sacred native tradition while providing income for an impoverished community. For over a decade, the main partner providing Nepali handcrafts has supported a monastery housing over 200 monks.
One of Triloka's long-time Indian partners is a member of IFAT, the International Fair Trade Organization. This group has been actively promoting Fair Trade since the 1970s, and has made tremendous impact on the community through their efforts. They focus on ensuring that all artisans have the training and support needed. They educate and campaign against child labor and illiteracy, while promoting environmental awareness and human rights. Their efforts continue to expand and they grow, and more artisans are benefitting from being part of this collaboration all the time.
Developing and maintaining long-term, sustainable relationships with the Fair Trade partners is an integral part of Windrose Trading's culture. Many of the partners have been improving products since the brand was founded in 1977. Fair Trade partnerships are based on the Gandhian concept of cottage industry, in which production happens in small workshops or in the home. Producers determine the price for the finished product. They have visited many of the workplaces, and they are safe and pleasant environments. Triloka supports Fair Trade partners in many ways. Depending on the need, they sometimes advance suppliers payment in order for them to more easily produce items. They also adapt some of the artisans' designs to appeal to the western market and accommodate current trends, ensuring greater sales of the items they create. Windrose plans to continue to nurture and support these partnerships for many years to come.
Fair Trade can be defined as trading practices that promote worker welfare, minimize environmental damage, and allow producers to increase their living standards. In Fair Trade cottage industry partnerships such as Windrose Trading, production happens in small family businesses, often at home. Therefore, the working conditions and prices for the finished products are set by the producers themselves. The primary focus is to partner with suppliers who are supporting worthy projects, foundations or individual families. They are committed to working with partners who are environmentally conscious, use recycled materials and sustainable practices. They travel each year to visit their working partners and collaborate on new projects, products and designs. Triloka stays in their homes and are treated like family. It is the experience of a lifetime!
- India (Incense Handcrafted Items): Windrose Fair Trade partners in India have been rolling their Triloka Herbal Incense since 1977! These partners are multi-generational family businesses that provide men and women in their communities with good jobs that would otherwise be unavailable. One partner operates a Professional Ayurvedic Clinic and provides free treatment and care to its region. Triloka has long-standing partnerships with Indian Fair Trade groups that supply their handcrafted items. One of the larger groups that supplies handcrafted items is a member of the Fair Trade organization of India, which is an Indian venture and association of craftspeople and social workers that creates cleaner and safer workshops and work environments. The payment of workers is good and free schooling for the children, and healthcare is provided. Needless to say, there is no child labor and children are regularly bailed out of child servitude. Several western and Indian designers support the craftspeople by creating designs suitable for the western marketplace. This organization has been promoting Fair Trade for 20 years and is recognized by the Indian labor ministry.
- Nepal (Textiles, Jewelry, Singing Bowls): Windrose Fair Trade has worked with their Fair Trade partners in Nepal for over 25 years. This company was established to financially support a large Tibetan Buddhist monastery. Profits help support this monastery. The monastery now houses over 200 young monks living in exile. Triloka has inspected the workshops and visited the monastery many times. It is an amazing, beautiful, clean, joyful place. This company supplies many of the textile items, such as silk and brocade bags, as well as silver jewelry, copper bracelets and Tibetan singing bowls, bells and more.
- North America (Native American Smudges): Triloka Global Shaman smudges are wildcrafted in a sustainable manner that preserves and respects the natural environment. Their partners are preserving a Native American tradition while providing income for their families. Triloka is honored to support this effort, which is bringing hope to a community in poverty.
- India (Sterling Silver Jewelry): This inspirational jewelry is handmade by the Fair Trade cottage industry partners in Northern India. One of the cottage industry partners is an amazing husband and wife team that embodies Fair Trade and preserves the art of handcrafted jewelry making and gemstone cutting.

The holistic healing science of aromatherapy dates back to ancient times when healers used plants to heal the body and lift the emotions. Aromatherapy uses several mediums of delivery to achieve this end. Incense, essential oils, perfume oils and anointing oils are all avenues to achieve a healing balance both physically and mentally.
Ayurveda, the science of life, is the oldest recorded system of medicine in the world. Within the Ayurveda, the use of natural plants consisting of herbs, grasses, woods, gums, resins, seeds and flowers makes up the body of the science of aroma. Closely allied with Ayurveda, the discipline of yoga applies fragrance to enhance relaxation and promote the meditation experience.
Positive influence obtained through aromatherapy comes from aroma and its impact on the olfactory system having pharmacological effects on the brain. Aromatic compounds alter mental state, mood, cognitive function and health in the most natural manner without disruption of the functions of mind or body. Balance of energies, relaxation and clarity of mind - all are addressed through this science.
Triloka brand of natural products are made using the principles of aromatherapy above, transforming ancient science into products for use as simple alternative healing tools. The reason Triloka incense is ideal for aromatherapy is that it is made traditionally according to the masala method. This ancient method combines natural herbs, gums, resin, woods and oils that are kneaded into a paste and hand-rolled onto fine bamboo sticks and sun dried. Burning these real, high quality ingredients, releases the properties desired in aromatherapy. Incense is never dipped in perfumes or oils, and will hold fragrance for many years.
Triloka natural herbal incense, smudges, perfume oils, essential oils and anointing oils are complemented by classic incense holders, soapstone diffusers, resin burners and smudge vessels to bring a complete solution to ones aromatherapy needs.

From Miles in Everett: another option for car-free skiers.
Another great transit-to-the-slopes option that wasn't mentioned in your column last month is connecting Stevens Pass shuttle from Sultan. It's possible to take one of Community Transit's 270-series routes from Everett Station to the Mountain View Chevron just east of the Sultan Park and Ride, then catch the Stevens Pass shuttle from there. If starting in Seattle, Sound Transit Route 510 runs every half-hour between Seattle and Everett weekdays, and hourly on Sundays. At less than $10 each way, this is, as far as I know, the most affordable option available, and of course the snow at Stevens is often better than at Snoqualmie.
Good stuff–and you certainly can't beat the price. I do remember reading about this shuttle, but I didn't take the time to figure out how to take the bus to the Chevron station. I'm glad someone else did.
Miles, who recently moved from Pioneer Square to downtown Everett, also said:
I don't know whether you've been up here lately, but this area is getting to be a great place for a car-free lifestyle: there's the commuter train to Seattle, of course, as well as plentiful bus options, but a lot of people don't realize that Downtown Everett itself has become a very pleasant and walkable area that rivals Capitol Hill in terms of having everything one needs within walking distance. Even a food co-op. And, given that there's no Flexcar here yet, it's reassuring to know that there's a Hertz car rental office right downtown as well.
It looks like I have some exploring to do.
From Kevin in Boston: firsthand accounts of the MBTA's new fare system.
According to Kevin (and the Charlie on the MBTA blog he sent), it's not working out too well. We should pay attention to this as we explore new options.
From Heidi in Redmond: validation.
In "The real reason you're broke," a respected money-management writer (not an environmentalist or transit activist) explains the true costs of owning a car. The main points are:
1. People spend more than they can afford on cars.
2. The percentage of income Americans spend on their cars has been steadily rising since 1995.
3. Good ways to save money on transportation include: giving up your car, paying cash for a less expensive car, and extending the time between car purchases.
Here's an excerpt:
What's going wrong
So why are so many people messing up so badly on such a basic purchase? There are plenty of reasons, including:
Viewing cars as a need rather than a want. Transportation is, indeed, a real need. We have to get to the grocery store and to work. But many of us have plenty of options, from our own feet to public transportation to car pools to shared car arrangements …
Treating cars as a status symbol. You can't watch television for long without being bombarded by car commercials, and many of us have absorbed the idea that we are what we drive. It's complete BS, of course, but some people have been so brainwashed that they literally drive themselves into bankruptcy.
Failing to consider the overall costs. When buying or leasing a car, many people consider nothing more than the monthly payment. They're not seeing the whole picture — far from it. Once you factor in insurance, gas, maintenance, repairs, taxes, depreciation and other costs, most cars will set you back at least twice the initial purchase price over five years. …
I really recommend reading the entire article.

A flexible and versatile series that adds unique visuals to your setup.
The Paiste Colorsound 900 Heavy Ride has a sharp, powerful, sound with a heavy feel. It delivers a very pronounced ping, a controlled warm wash and a massive bell to cut through a loud mix.
Paiste first pioneered color coated cymbals with COLORSOUND 5 in 1984 as a means for artistic expression during the time period when popular music became visual in music videos on television. In the 1990s VISIONS made an appearance, and in recent years certain Artist Inspiration models feature color coating - Stewart Copeland's Blue Bell Ride, Aquiles Priester's Giga Bell Ride and Danny Carey's Dry Heavy Ride. Throughout, the Color Sound finish was available for custom orders, including cymbals featured by international top artists Joey Jordison, Tico Torres and Paul Bostaph. With Color Sound 900 Paiste launches the latest incarnation in the color cymbal saga.
Color Sound 900 cymbals are based on the range of models in the concurrently launched 900 Series. While they feature essentially corresponding sound and function, the color coating causes a slightly drier sound, shortens the sustain a bit, and results in a more focused attack. Significantly, the same flexibility and giving feel as in the 900 Series is present.
Extensive research and design efforts have resulted in the most stunningly beautiful finishes: luminous translucent colors preserve the natural appearance of grooves and hammer marks and present a vibrantly radiant appearance. Notably, decades of experience have proven the Color Sound finish to be exceedingly tough and durable - the finish will not ever crack, chip or peel.
- Hybrid hammering technique for dark, musical tonal quality
- Medium to very loud volume

Swauger slugs Cards to playoff win
Swauger's third homer of the game in the 10th inning broke a 6-6 tie as Double-A Springfield rallied past Tulsa, 8-6, in the opening game of their Texas League semifinal series Wednesday.
With the Cardinals trailing, 6-0, Swauger put them on the board with a solo homer in the fifth. One frame later, the 26th-round pick in 2008 by St. Louis cut the deficit to three with another solo shot, setting the stage for his 10th inning heroics.
"The last [homer] was 10th inning, two outs against Coty Woods, who's been the best reliever in the league all year," Swauger said. "A guy like that who doesn't give up runs and has good stuff, with two strikes, you're looking to put a ball in play. Thankfully, he left a ball over the plate and I got a piece of it. I got pitches over the plate and found some barrel. It's very rare to have a game like that, to do it in the playoffs the way our team played, that made it special."
Swauger had never homered three times in a game before as a pro entering Wednesday's contest. It's not something that would have occurred to the 26-year-old outfielder.
"I really don't think like that, I try not to," Swauger said. "Home runs are nice but the type of hitter I am, I am just trying to get something to put in play hard. Do you dream and think 'that would be cool'? Absolutely, but on a daily basis you're not thinking about that, you're just trying to grind out at-bats. It was a good night."
Rallying from a six-run deficit on the road in the playoffs is no easy task, but Swauger said the club didn't fret about that in the dugout.
"We've been saying all year that, no matter how many runs we get up or go down, we just want to apply pressure," the Florida native said. "Whether that's grinding out at-bats or making tough pitches, that's been our team goal -- to keep playing and keep playing hard. Tonight, it worked out really well for all of us. The thing is, if we would have ended up losing that game, we would have walked out there with our heads held high."
Swauger spent some time on the disabled list earlier this year and was just hitting his stride when the regular season ended, batting .361 with a homer and 12 RBIs over his last 10 games. It was important for the Citadel product to try and regain his swing before the playoffs started.
"It's one of those things where I missed almost of the month of August, just to be able to play those last 10 to 15 games, to be able to get a rhythm at the plate really helped," he said. "It's nice to have a nice little roll going into the playoffs, but the playoffs themselves are a whole other animal."
Springfield's bullpen contributed six shutout innings with Eric Fornataro picking up the win after allowing two hits over two innings. Keith Butler fanned one in the 10th en route to the save.
Nolan Arenado, the Rockies' No. 1 prospect, homered in the loss for the Drillers.
In other Texas League playoff action:
Frisco 6, Corpus Christi 5
Chris McGuiness hit a walk-off double in the ninth inning as the RoughRiders took Game 1 of their semifinal series. Val Majewski homered and Jared Hoying played a pair of runs for Frisco. Astros' top prospect Jonathan Singleton homered and drove in two runs in the loss for the Hooks. Gameday box score

God Moves in a Mysterious Way (Ensign)
1. God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.
2. Ye fearful Saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
In blessings on your head.
3. His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding ev'ry hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
4. Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan his works in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.

MIT Students Debate the Value of iPads in the Classroom
This is the time of year where I have the great pleasure of teaching an education class to undergraduates at MIT. We address two questions during the semester: "What's worth learning?" and "How do we know that students are learning what's worth learning?"
Most weeks, we have an online discussion about current events in education. This week, students chose to examine an article on a school district that just committed to a district-wide 1-1 iPad program. Their responses are characteristically thoughtful, and here are a few of their perspectives. We'll be discussing this during our class meeting Wednesday at 2:30, so leave a comment or tweet a response (@bjfr) by then, and I'll make sure the students get it.
For Individuals not Groups
As I said above, individual iPads for each student create barriers in the classroom. It's hard for me to see how doing something on an iPad is better than doing without it. The best way to teach is to engage and motivate, and if throwing expensive technology is the school district's plan, in my opinion they are wasting a lot of money. If everyone has an individual tablet, then it's hard to make the argument that these iPads will bring the classroom together. Whenever we worked with laptops in my high school, the classroom felt empty when everyone quietly labored away on their keyboards. Even if the classroom is brought together through this technology, what is preventing them from working together without any Apple products? Ideally, it sounds nice to present every student with the best technology out there to do their work, but not at the expense of deteriorating classroom cohesiveness.
While I'm against the idea of having iPads in the classroom, I'm not opposed to using them outside the classroom. Great teaching is done with groups and collaboration, but reinforcement of material could be greatly improved with interactivity, social aspects and new technology. These are all areas where I think the iPad could be beneficial to learning.
iPad as Toolbox
I think giving iPads to students is a great idea and I can't agree with the whole "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" idea. I think there is always room for innovation in a field, including education, even if things are going well. The iPad is a great toolbox that teachers and students can use to improve the classroom. For example, I'm sure there is an app somewhere that allows teachers to design quizzes or tests that can be administered on the iPad. If the answers are multiple choice or fill in the blank, perhaps the program could grade the test leaving giving the teacher more time to grade other parts of the test, such as short answers or essays. It could also give teachers better data on how their students and have a better idea of who needs more help with a particular topic. Companies, such as Khan Academy and Quizlet, already provide apps with this kind of tracking information.
If teachers are worried that students will be distracted by their iPads during group discussions, they can simply ask the students to put them away. I don't think they are necessary at all times of the school day, but can definitely add to the classroom experience. I also think, that the "old fashioned way" may not be the best way. We just think it is because we're used to it. Sure, I prefer writing with pencil and paper and using a laptop rather than an iPad, but this younger generation is growing up in a world where these kinds of tablets are the norm and what we are used to may not be what they grow up preferring.
Spend Money on Teachers before Technology
First of all, I feel this focus on tech in the classroom is taking us the wrong direction. We need good teachers, not bells-and-whistles technology. Tech alone doesn't help if there isn't solid curriculum to go along with it.
I worry that this kind of article frames the debates on education the wrong way. People think the more tech in schools, the better, here tech meaning computers, etc. People like tech in schools because they seem a good stand-in or proxy for improvement in education: it's easily quantifiable, and it makes news; we spend x dollars to put y computers (iPads, etc.) in these schools! What people should be asking rather than how much new technology we put in schools is: how are they actually going to improve the curriculum?
There is no shortcut for training better teachers, and giving teachers the opportunity, resources, and communication for improvement, and in my opinion, would be a better use of money.
I think that iPads in schools have the effect of amplifying the teacher's abilities, positive or negative, rather than improving learning indiscriminately. If you give every student an iPad, and still have an incompetent teacher, or even an decent teacher who isn't given the relevant training, then you'll get students surfing the web during class, teachers trying to troubleshoot software problems when they should be teaching, etc. A smartboard doesn't help if you can't write in an organized way on a blackboard in the first place. If you have a good teacher who can deliver, who can construct curriculum, say, around this kind of "instant flow of information" that the iPad provides and the interactivity between different students, then it would improve the classroom culture.
Technology and Relationships
There is no reason that students need iPads to supplement their educational experience. iPads are only productive for providing supplementary material to already motivated students who will actually use the iPads productively. I am a strong believer that to spark and interest and confidence in learning, the most essential thing is the inter-personal relationships between teacher and student. With an iPad, these relationships slowly become less personal and learning becomes less individualized. Fundamentally important parts of the classroom experience -- i.e. constant communication with other students/teacher, and taking notes with a paper/pencil -- are lost.

Food safety is a global concern, regarding consumers as well as manufacturers. A management system for food safety provides the framework to manage responsibilities for safe food efficiently.
Companies are tested along the entire food supply chain, from raw material producers, producers of animal feed, restaurants and food producers to trade.
In food sector, we certify the following standards:
Food safety management system - ISO 22000
Summary: The standard ISO 22000 defines the requirements for food safety management systems. It specifies minimum requirements for a company-related risk management and combines the principles of the system of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) with the application steps developed by the Codex-Alimentarius-Comission. On the basis of auditable requirements the HACCP-plan and the prerequisite programs (PRPs) are combined. Important elements of the standard are the integration of the responsibility for food safety into the quality management as a general management task and the provision of communication measures to communicate with suppliers, customers, consumers and authorities; and this not only for emergency cases.
Target: Harmonization of requirements of the food safety management system for companies being part of the food chain. The application of the standard is especially intended for companies seeking a more targeted, coherent and integrated management system for food safety than legally required.
For whom?: All organizations which directly or indirectly act in the food chain on one or more levels. Directly acting organizations are for example feed producers, harvesting and agricultural companies, Producers of ingredients, food manufacturers, retailers, canteens, restaurant businesses and companies from the sectors cleaning, disinfection, transport, storage and sales. Indirectly acting organizations are suppliers of machineries, cleaning and disinfection agents, packaging materials and other materials, which might come into contact with food.
- Coverage of many requirements of different food standards
- Control of risks for food safety by prerequisite programs
- Integration of up-to-date procedures of risk analysis and prerequisite programs regarding food safety
- Integral analysis of the company as well as secure and efficient processes regarding hygiene and health protection
- Higher product security and reduced risk of product liability
- Improvement of confidence between customers, suppliers and surveillance authorities
- Continual improvement and updating of the management system for food safety.
FSSC 22000 food safety
FSSC 22000 is a logical evolution of the previous food standards PAS 223 and ISO 22000 and was supported by the nonprofit, independent Dutch Foundation for Food Safety Certification (FSSC Foundation for Food Safety Certification) developed. The method has been approved by the GFSI and is supported by the FoodDrinkEurope (European organization of food and beverage manufacturers), GMA (U.S. organization in the food and beverage producers), and many other international trading companies.
For whom?: organizations in the food supply chain that process or manufacture
- perishable animal products (i.e. meat, poultry, eggs, dairy and fish products)
- perishable vegetal products (i.e. fresh fruits and fresh juices, preserved fruits, fresh vegetables, preserved vegetables)
- products with long shelf life at ambient temperature (i.e. canned products, biscuits, snacks, oil, drinking water, beverages, pasta, flour, sugar, salt)
- (bio)chemical products for food manufacturing (i.e. vitamins additives and bio-cultures) but excluding technical and technological aids
- food packaging material manufacturing
Target: is to improve food security and the establishment of trust from consumers in integrity of food supply.
- ISO-based supply chain approach
- GFSI approval
- linking existing, independent and international standards ISO 22000, ISO 22003 and technical specifications for industry-specific requirement programs (PRPs Pre-Requisite Programs)
- comprehensives in terms of food production (including slaughter and pet food industry)
- approval and involvement of stakeholders (industry, retail, NGOs)
- comprehensive and strict food safety audits
- independent process management
- transparency
- approval by the EA (European Cooperation for Accreditation)
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points - HACCP
Summary: HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) is a working method based on self-control which all operators in the food production sector must implement in order to estimate, prevent and minimize risks related to safety and hygiene in the preparation of food and beverages. HACCP makes it possible to avoid any problems concerning individual production phases since it does not focus checks exclusively on the finished product.
HACCP certification is obligatory in many countries and offers companies effective instruments for:
- Instilling trust in their consumers
- Limiting waste
- Hence implementing an effective system which allows them to cut management costs and times
- Prove their commitment to complying with the main legal requirements.

Why should I try Spamdrain?
Our spamsters keep your inbox clean and tidy. They are intelligent creatures and will learn from you, what emails you like and what you dislike. Be free from newsletters and marketing emails you never asked for. Get a spamster and retake control of your inbox.
With Spamdrain you:
- Save time. Unwanted email steal time from more important things, and it takes an average of 90 seconds to get back to your usual task after being disturbed by one.
- Enjoy a neat and tidy inbox. Your mass-deleting-days are over.
- Get to try it free of charge for 14 days. No strings attached, no credit card needed.
- Just plug and play. It's easy to be protected by Spamdrain.
- Get a personal spamster that will learn what you like and dislike, giving you back control of your inbox.
- Get an effective service that just works.
How does Spamdrain work?
It depends a bit on how it is set up, if you have several email addresses or just one.
With a basic Spamdrain setup every e-mail first lands in your online e-mail account and your spamster continuously monitors* your e-mail account and cleans it from spam and viruses.
If you have a Spamdrain+ account the spam can either be cleaned out as above or it can be setup so that all your e-mails pass through our servers where spam and viruses are filtered by our spamsters and the real e-mails are then delivered to you.
* Accounts set up with IMAP-fetching are constantly monitored, spam is cleaned out only a few seconds after arrival. With POP3-fetching accounts are checked and cleaned every 30 seconds. Spamdrain always tries to set it up with IMAP as this is better. If you are using PO3 the cleaning of our inbox might not work as smooth try to change to IMAP if this is possible.
How much does it cost?
To use Spamdrain you pay a small amount every year. This makes sure we can provide a great service to you and that we don't need to sell your data to make money - as many of our competitors do. Your data always stays with us. Please see our pricing for more details.
I use Spamdrain and I got a spam, why?
Our spamsters sometimes make mistakes and after all they're only spamsters. But it does make them determined to improve. If you receive an unwanted mail it is usually due to one of the following reasons.
1. It is real spam.
On rare occasion it happens that real spam slipps through. Our trained spamsters catch close to 100% of all spam but the volumes are large and there are new spams or variations every day. A great advantage with server side filtering such as ours is that as soon as we discover a new spam or spammer we can block it for all our users.
Solution: Our spamsters work hard fighting spammers. We continuously send them on courses and seminars in order for them to get better. You help by reporting the spam you get, the spamsters learn from it and get better at keeping your inbox clean.
2. It is a not really a spam
It is an offer or a newsletter from a legitimate sender who has got a hold of your address. It could be organizations such as airlines, online bookstores stores or hotels.
Solution: Try to unsubscribe from the newsletter and avoid giving out your primary address to such organizations in the future.
3. You are too fast
If you are using Spamdrain with IMAP/POP3 and check your email often you could sometimes come across a spam before our spamsters have had a chance to clean it (some accounts we are only allowed to access every 15-30 minutes).
Solution: See if you can change to IMAP-fetching in your user settings, turn off Push (sometimes called IDLE) and update your mail check interval to about every 15 minute.
Who needs Spamdrain+ ?
You might be a company or organization that needs to manage several addresses or users at the same time. Or you could be an individual who wants to do an advanced setup of your email protection such as filtering a domain. Maybe you just find the idea of a good personal support comforting.
With Spamdrain+ you benefit from all features available within the Spamdrain service.
The added features include:
- Multiple e-mail accounts
- Multiple users
- Personal support from our helpdesk
- Domain (SMTP) filtering
- Pay as you go per protected email address (prices)
Do I have access to the messages Spamdrain have blocked?
Since no anti-spam service is perfect (not even our spamsters) and real e-mails can be blocked we know the importance of having easy access to these messages. You can always log in to your Spamdrain Dashboard on the web and check for the e-mail your friend sent you regarding the amazing 40% discount on Cartier watches. But sometimes you cannot know what you have missed and that is why your personal spamster sends you a weekly Spamdrain report, showing you the blocked messages with the highest chance of being actual e-mails. You can read and retrieve these e-mails via links in the Spamdrain report.
Can I trust you? My mom told me to never trust strangers.
Yes, you can trust us and our spamster's. We think immoral and illegal behavior is very uncool. We have also made sure that your integrity and personal information on our servers are protected by several layers of encryption and redundant security systems. All we want is a world full of clean inboxes.
Why do you need my e-mail and password for starting the Spamdrain account?
Spamdrain is a unique and ridiculously easy way to get a clean inbox. You give one of our spamster's the key to your mailbox. Your spamster, let's call him Bartleby, will continuously open and check your mailbox to see if there is any spam and viruses among the real e-mails. When such annoyances occur he immediately removes them from your mailbox so you will not be exposed to them.
If you sign up with your Gmail or Outlook/Hotmail account we will not need your password since we use the standard Oauth2 authentication mechanism instead.
What is Spamdrain?
It's an easy-to-use and intelligent web based anti-spam service. Our personal spamsters keep your inbox clean by stopping spam before it gets to the inbox on your computer, phone or other device you use to check your mail. That's the best way to stop spam and viruses – before they reach you.

Doctors: Baby had 14 fractured ribs
The parents of an Iowa child diagnosed with 14 rib fractures have been arrested and charged.
The Des Moines Register says 24-year-old Clayton Fischer and 21-year-old Hollie Fischer, of Knoxville, face the same charges: four counts of child endangerment causing serious injury and one of neglect.
Polk County Jail records say both Fischers remained in custody on Thursday. Online court records don't list the names of their attorneys.
The child was taken to a hospital in July. Officials say the baby's injuries didn't match the parents' description of how the baby had been hurt. In addition to the injured ribs, the child had a dislocated hip and a fractured wrist and femur.
Authorities issued warrants for the Fischers' arrests, and they turned themselves in on Monday.


text: Imaj's Story My first-hand experience with mental illness happened three years ago, when my older brother Sovereign had his first mental break. The day it happened, we—my three other brothers, my mother and myself—didn't have a clue of what was going on. All we knew is that for several days straight Sovereign wasn't his normal self. However, after some strange behavior for a few days, like obsessive cleaning, unnecessarily suspicious of others, rambling, we noticed he wasn't sleeping well and his rambling was getting more and more far-fetched. My mother concluded that maybe he just needed some quality time with her. "Even if my heart races and my eyes cry, I have to say something. I have to try. My heart says I need to, so I must. So, she took him to run some errands with her and talk to him and try to get to the bottom of his odd behavior. However, being out in public only magnified the situation. When they came to their first stop, she parked and got out of the car. Immediately, he screamed in fear, "Mommy, come back! They're going to get you! Come back in here!" With each day that passed he tumbled further and further towards his mental break. He stayed completely awake for three days straight and couldn't control his thoughts any longer. On that third day, I was left home alone to watch him. He would ramble on and on about the government and the Bible and being the reincarnation of Jesus and Adam and Eve. Then, to my shock, he took off all of his clothes and ran outside to our backyard. This bizarre stream of erratic behavior was something I'd never experienced before, and the fact that it was happening to my older brother—someone who is so kind and shy that he'd been compared to Forrest Gump—made me feel so hopeless and more scared than I'd ever been in my entire life. I scrambled to call my mother and to tell her what was going on. She said that she was rushing home as fast as she could. But that comfort only lasted until I had to hang up with her and go back to the reality of my frantic brother. What was I going to do? What do you do when someone jumps in the shower and puts it on the highest temperature and screams in agony? What do you do when someone wants to burn the Bible and go outside naked because they're "not ashamed?" What do you do when they're your older brother? You see, I'm 5-foot-4 and 100 pounds soaking wet. Sovereign is 5-foot-10 and 150 pounds of muscle (he's always had serious discipline about working out every single day). Physically stopping him was out of the question. So, I had to come up with a strategy under pressure. That's when it came to me. Talk to him. Sovereign loves to talk. So, I got my brother's old video camera and ran to the backyard. Through tears and shaky hands, I calmly said, "Sovereign, why don't you come on inside? The world wants to speak with you. Come on, Sovereign." And it worked. It calmed him down. This held him off just long enough to keep him inside until my mother arrived. Eventually it occurred to her that someone may have slipped him a drug; it seemed like the only explanation that made sense. We had no idea about mental illness and how it can seemingly slip up on you in the night. We were utterly clueless. So, she took him to the hospital where she was faced with the beginning of what was probably the most horrific experience she's ever had, especially as a mother. When Sovereign was in the hospital he did everything you could name. He warned everyone about the government. He was convinced they'd implanted a chip in his arm. People were out to kill all of us. He was God. He was Jesus the Messiah. He could see people that other people couldn't see. No one knew what was wrong. We were all distressed. Even my middle brother who I've never seen blink from unhappiness, was in tears over Sovereign. But my mother. My mother was in this wailing, dark pit of hopelessness. I can only imagine it was a thousand times more harrowing for her than any of us could understand. We were told at the time that he was having a bad psychotic break. Fine, we thought. At least now we know. My mother assumed that they would simply give her something that he could take and she would be able to take him home that night. But it wasn't that easy. From then on there would be no such relief for quite some time. The problem was that she couldn't have him back. Her eldest son, her baby boy that she carried in her womb for nine months; her son that she breast fed until he was able to eat; her son that crawled and toppled and learned how to walk; her son that she cherished every moment with as he grew up into a young man because you can never get those years back. Her son wasn't hers any more. He was now a ward of the state. The state shipped Sovereign from one facility to another, ultimately ending up in a mental institution that was three hours away from the comforts of home. Over a period of three months my mother would drive those three hours to visit Sovereign every single day. It would soon be discovered that Sovereign had a severe case of paranoid schizophrenia. And, yes, that state would figure out how to calm Sovereign but they would never truly bring him back to his mother. Even when he did come back home, drugged up, with a full beard and an even fuller belly, he wasn't the same. As of today, there is unfortunately no cure for paranoid schizophrenia. Medical professionals simply don't know enough about it. To be brutally honest, just judging off of the emotions I'm feeling right now—even from writing about it—I'd say that I never want to talk about this. Ever. Because this is something that hasn't just gone away. It has continued to pervade our lives as my brother has spent the past few years continuously in and out of mental wards. In fact, I would rather curl up my story, and all of its emotions, stuff it into a bottle and let the sea have it, so it can never be heard or seen again. Judging from my emotions, I don't want to speak about this in front of one person much less an arena full of people. But every time I hear my mother crying over someone else who got shot because they were off their meds; every time I pass someone that most other people refer to as a "crazy" homeless person who may just not have had the help they needed to persevere; every time I see my brother, I know that I have to talk about it. I have to say something—anything. For my brother and for the millions of others out there who are like him who have no voice, I have to use mine. It just breaks my heart into a million pieces and I have to do something. Even if my heart races and my eyes cry, I have to say something. I have to try. My heart says I need to, so I must. I will spread awareness because too many people are embarrassed or scared to tell someone. Too many families are like we were: left in the dark. I've got to do something to help. I've got to give someone that peace of mind. And maybe in making some kind of difference, my mother will gain a better peace of mind, too. I will use my role as an artist and performer to help spread NAMI's message and raise awareness of mental illness. That's something you can do too, no matter who you are. So join NAMI and raise your voice. Thank you so much NAMI, for all that you do by continuing to keep us all aware of mental illness and how it affects all of our lives. Your efforts are appreciated by all of us.

The Geneva Auto Show has traditionally been known as fertile ground to show off the latest and greatest exotic cars on the planet. This year it appears that to make any sort of impression a headliner needed to boast of over 900 horsepower and sprint from zero to 100 kilometres an hour in under three seconds.
One company with the race-bred technology to build such a car is McLaren and the fruit of their efforts is called the P1. Some have taken to calling the all-new McLaren P1 a hyper-car and I can forgive them this bit of hyperbole: The P1 has a total horsepower output of 903 hp and tops out at 349 km/h.
Considering McLaren's racing history in Formula One, it should come as no surprise that the P1 has adapted some of the technology found in F1 racing's machinery. The P1 utilizes a hybrid power train with a seemingly small twin-turbo 3.8 litre V8 producing 757 hp and an electric motor contributing an extra 176 hp.
The electric supplement is available at the touch of a steering wheel-mounted button. The system is similar to the KERS system found on F1 cars. The rear mounted spoiler can also be adjusted to decrease drag by as much as 30%, much like the systems F1 cars utilize when trying to pass one another at full speed.
The other similarity the P1 shares with an F1 car is its cost, few vehicles rolling around public roads will set you back the US$1.4-million it will list for. Any buyers will be among a select group as McLaren only plans to produce 375 units.

Caol Ila Distillery
Founded: 1846
Stills: 3 Wash & 3 Spirit
Water source: Loch Nam Bam
Capacity: 3,750,000 litres per year
Washbacks: Wood
1846-1972: The old distillery.
Caol Ila was dismantled and rebuilt during the years 1972-74, this was to increase the production capacity which was done by adding four new stills and extra washbacks. The upshot of this upgrade is that most whisky fans are fascinated to compare the distillates from the old and the new distilleries. The old style Caol Ila was produced through a single pair of direct fired stills with worm tub condensers, longer ferments and floor malted barley. This made it a recognisably more old school style whisky. It has more viscosity on the palate with a greater density of oils and peat, more mineral and intensely phenolic and medicinal aspects and, as always with older style whiskies, much more pronounced fruit characters, particularly green and stone fruits in Caol Ila's case. Sadly the bottlings from this era are fewer and rarer than their contemporary counterparts. However excellent examples from G&M, Cadenheads and Signatory all exist and are almost all excellent and fascinating to taste.
1974-Present: The new distillery.
The new Caol Ila once completed in 1974 was a much bigger beast, designed to cope with the demands of the blending hall and perfectly symbolised the nature of the new whisky industry that was emerging in Scotland. It was an industry of mass production and consistency, but also one that was prone to corner cutting and cost reduction. The new Caol Ila now had efficient steam heated stills with shell condensers and malt that came from the large malting facility in Port Ellen. This led to more uniform peat levels (Caol Ila has always been approximately 35-40 parts per million) and a very consistent house style. Unlike many other distilleries Caol Ila has remained fairly unchanged since this makeover. The whisky produced since 1974 is noticeably lighter but it is still a powerful Islay style, often mistakenly described as one of the more delicate Islay malts, it is in fact highly coastal and medicinal in style. Like all Islay whiskies is takes particularly well to refill wood, which accentuates its naturally drying, aromatic and fresh qualities. Caol Ila can age particularly well up to 30 years with older examples taking on concentrated coastal and farmy aspects with distinctive notes of green tea and herb liqueurs. Expressions over 30 years of age are exceptionally rare. Sherried expressions are also rare although several legendary examples do exist such as the Manager's Dram bottling from 1990 or the James MacArthur 'London Scottish' bottling. Caol Ila remains an often excellent and always dependable bottling, its style is full flavoured and distinctive and thankfully its high availability helps to keep the prices down and many excellent value drams are still to be found from this distillery. Hopefully this will always be the case.

It would be really good to have a personalised data-base ready available, be it for, teenagers, students, scientists, researchers or employers/ees...
Sometimes, when learning, one can lose one's sense of reality, .
Is what I am thinking really "up to date"?

In this dissertation, two interrelated problems of service-based systems (SBS) are addressed: protecting users' data confidentiality from service providers, and managing performance of multiple workflows in SBS. Current SBSs pose serious limitations to protecting users' data confidentiality. Since users' sensitive data is sent in unencrypted forms to remote machines owned and operated by third-party service providers, there are risks of unauthorized use of the users' sensitive data by service providers. Although there are many techniques for protecting users' data from outside attackers, currently there is no effective way to protect users' sensitive data from service providers. In this dissertation, an …
