Wilbur by the Sea Real Estate:
Volusia Countys Wilbur by the Sea is a small unincorporated area located east of the Halifax River. One of the most unique features of Wilbur by the Sea is the complete lack of traditional condos or even a hotel. Instead, people who choose to explore or choose Wilbur by the Sea real estate will find a collection of beachfront homes, many of which overlook the nearby Wilbur Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The neighborhood is separated by the Halifax River from Daytona Beach but remains close to Dunlawton Boulevard, making travel to and from the major tourist apex highly convenient.

In its first mode, the Stack® offers all the convenience of an everyday highchair with a wipeable seat pad, five-point harness, removable tray, and three recline positions. As baby grows into a toddler, the highchair seat is easy to detach from its frame to create a high-back booster that secures to a dining chair for meals with the tray or at the table. Rubberized, pop-out feet for the booster help protect chairs. For older children, the highchair frame can be used as a stool with a contoured seat and pop-up backrest.
Ultra Convenient
Designed for use in the Highchair and Booster modes, the tray snaps easily onto the armrests for mealtime and slides onto the rear legs for storage. It also includes a removable liner for easy cleaning.
The Stack® is designed for children up to 40 pounds in highchair mode, children up to 50 pounds in booster mode, and children at least 3 years old and up to 60 pounds in stool mode. In booster mode, use only on dining chairs with a seat at least 15 inches wide, 14 inches deep, and a backrest at least 12 inches high.
Care and Maintenance
Spot clean the seat pad with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use bleach, spray, or wipes on the pad, plastic or metal parts. Periodically wipe plastic and metal clean with a soft damp cloth.
A safety restraint that uses 5 points of contact to secure a child in a car seat, stroller or highchair. Points of contact include the crotch strap and dual hip/shoulder straps, compared to a 3-point harness which only secures the child via the crotch and hip straps.

Commenting on the ongoing street cleaning in Whitton High Street Cllrs Gareth Elliott and Grant Healy would like to update residents with the following:
"We are both very happy that the Council has undertaken to give our High Street a deep clean following calls from residents that the new York Stone paving has lost some of its shine.
This request was accepted and announced following a question from Cllr Healy at the last full Council meeting in September.
The process is now ongoing but following a close inspection by both Cllrs Elliott and Healy, it was clear that the machines and processes being used were not adequate to the job. As a result, both requested the clean to be re-done and to look at new equipment that would be better able to finish the deep clean as expected.
Cllr's Elliott and Healy are happy to say that this request was accepted and agreed and new equipment will be brought over from Wandsworth to finalise and complete the deep clean in Whitton.
As this is the first cleaning of the new York Stone it was a new process for Richmond Council and lessons have been learned for which will make future cleaning easier and more effective.
Cllrs Elliott and Healy are proud that Whitton has one of the best high streets in Richmond and we want to keep it that way."

Home Kitchen & Lavatory Remodeling Gresham
The most effective house remodeling investment you can make as we speak is to rework
The most effective house remodeling investment you can make as we speak is to rework your bogs. For the longest time, house repair was considered not a piece of transforming however solely a quick repair up and done very shoddily and disinterestedly, however, with custom dwelling builders and planners providing personalized and customized plans, even the home owners actively take part within the home rebuilding course of and do not just depart it to the builders.
Whatever your reasons are, may it be for comfort or for enjoyable, dwelling remodeling is admittedly a good way to make life even higher. Though siding substitute could value as a lot as $6,946, it could be foolish to assume that such quantity could culminate the cost of say, a small lavatory transforming.
Life has certainly change into extremely mechanical and as a lot of the couples are working, they don't have the time to invest in remodeling their dwelling. Magnolia House Transforming Group focuses on both inside and exterior reworking, we get hold of all crucial permits and all of our work comes with a guaranty.
This mission will take not less than a few weekends, and cost anyplace from $300-a thousand depending on the format of your own home and the standard of supplies you determine on. Still not unhealthy in comparison with what a contractor would cost. During the actual estate boom, it became very clear… most transforming companies in Northern Virginia were all about maximizing their revenue and not buyer-targeted.
On a number of events I've opened floors to shift a rest room location over a few inches and the earlier contractor minimize out or notched the joists so badly that it required a number of thousand dollars to repair the damage. Many will name on a PA contractor to have their kitchen of bathroom remodeled to make it look modern and appealing.

UK supermarkets lack transparency and consistency over food waste
The UK's National Federation of Women's Institutes – affectionately known as the WI – has launched a Supermarket Food Waste Manifesto to address the mismatch between what they see as retailers' rhetoric and what is in fact happening on the shelves.
The Manifesto is based on research the WI undertook into food waste among 5000 of its members which found many of these savvy shoppers are left confused or unhappy by supermarket practices that led them to waste food.
The WI research, published in April, shows many of its members find that pre-packaged products led them to overbuy and they also didn't like multi-buys. They would like to see more opportunity to allow consumers to buy products in smaller or individual quantities at the same price or to buy produce loose.
Significant numbers of survey respondents found 'best before' and 'use by' date labels confusing to use and the WI would like to see a pilot study that removed 'best before' labels on packaged fruit and vegetables and instead an emphasis placed on the correct storage method for the product.
An often neglected area that also received the WI ire was the 'once opened' consumption instructions on foodstuffs. They carried out an analysis of around 1000 products comparing own-label brands and branded equivalents. In many cases there were big differences between the 'once opened' instructions when the own-brand and branded products were compared – 35% of all products examined had discrepancies. The WI survey also found members were unclear whether 'once opened' instructions are an indication of food safety or food quality.
But one of the biggest criticisms of supermarkets was the retailers own lack of transparency on food waste. The WI note that the majority of supermarkets have not made their food waste data public. Although the WI did single out the progress made by Tesco and Sainsbury's in some areas of food waste.
Moving down the supply chain, the WI say there is even less understanding as to the amount of food wasted especially at the farm gate and the impact supermarket grading practices may have contributed to waste here.
The WI survey found that many members would be perfectly okay buying 'wonky' fruit and veg. As the report states: "At present much of the blame for food waste is laid at the door of householders, but there is little understanding as to the amount of food wasted by each retailer. There is even less understanding about the amount wasted at production level."
The Manifesto – sent out to individual WI branches – calls on supermarkets to make four commitments: 1. An end to overbuying; 2. Extending the product life of foods in the home; 3. Fully utilising the farm crop; and 4. Supermarket transparency on food waste.
The National Federation of Women's Institutes is the largest voluntary women's membership organisation in the UK with some 220,000 members in 6,300 Institutes in England and Wales. At their annual meeting in 2016 members passed a resolution calling on supermarkets to do more to tackle food waste. Following this the WI launched the WI Food Matters campaign and this research report and the Supermarket Food Waste Manifesto are the first actions from the campaign.

|4th Sunday
Unfortunately due to Covid19 we are unable to meet at this time
Further updates will be available here
YAG (Young Adults Group) is aimed at 18-30's.
It meets on every 4th Sunday evening of the month.
The aim of YAG is to meet with similar aged people, going through similar life obstacles. We help each other to grow in our relationships with God. We also help and support each other through prayer and encouragement. Everyone involved has found the fellowship, and accountability, very useful.
YAG takes several formats; on some nights we have worship and prayer, on others we have a bible study. In recent months we have been watching the DVD series called 'Discipleship Explored', as well as completing the accompanying workbook.
The evening always ends with a cup of tea and cake, sometimes a BBQ, and a chat!!

Today we made some site updates: The tracker now allows ready only, WordPress publish bug fixed by deactivating (non functioning) Google+ integration plugin. We also sent two new project sales pages to Seeed, which should be up in a day or two.
Work on the secret project firmware continues. Today we implemented a buffer that is filled from two sources, but keeps the information of the order, and the source, from where the data came from.
We did a little Eagle parts library clean-up, and added a bunch of the devices we used in the DP Badge circuits.

Ready to cook mix for Risotto, with Carnaroli rice, baccalà or salted codfish and potatoes. First choice Carnaroli rice, potatoes and dehydrated cod: in a few minutes you will serve a delicate and tasty first dish.
Pour the mix for risotto in a large cooking pan with little oil already warm and let it toast for one minute at a moderate temperature. Always stirring pour half a glass of water (or white wine) and let it evaporate. Pour, little by little, 700 ml of hot water and let it dry completely (15 minutes). Add salt to taste. Add some grated cheese and let it whisk for one minute.
A long experience in rice cultivation matured over five generations, making of a job a real culture asking for continuous improvement. Perinotti & Conte - Owners
Back five generations the Perinotti Family cultivates rice in the Grange Vercellesi area in Piedmont. A life dedicated to rediscovering varieties of native rice: an ambitious choice in a historic period in which standardization rules.
Gli Aironi brand's name means herons, birds that stand out also in the company logo, formerly in way of extinction and now returned in great numbers in the Grange, confirming the company's attention to environmental sustainability. Another proof is the work done to hydraulic works that have allowed to reduce to the minimum the usage of chemical products.
Shipments are FREE for orders over € 90 throughout Europe. For all orders of less than € 90, the shipping cost is fixed at € 15. Only for orders shipped in Italy, the cost is € 9 for purchases less than € 90.
Our shipments are safe and guaranteed within the 3-4 business days following the order placement if all the ordered products are available on our warehouse. Indeed, our food and delivery service is subject to the availability of stocks of products in our warehouse. In case one or more products will not be available in time for the agreed delivery date to be respected I Like Italian Food would suddenly contact the customer to find a solution.
The orders received during the week-end would be processed the following Monday.
The cost of the shipment charged to the customer is fixed at euro 15,00 for shipments to all Europe. We pack our products by adopting all the necessary precautions to preserve the integrity of the different food and beverage products sold.
For the delivery to be completed, it is necessary that the customer or someone else commissioned by the former is present when the courier arrives at the address specified in the order confirmation. I Like Italian Food will not be bound by or responsible for any inconvenience or loss arising to you due to the courier fault or to third parties acting (e.g. strikes or lock-outs), or to unforeseen force majeure circumstances resulting in delays or incomplete/missing deliveries. Right after the delivery, the customer should control that the number of items expressed on the receipt is correct and that the package does not show any sign of damage. Any claim should be contested to the courier at the time of the delivery and the phrase "Accept with reserve" should be written on the waybill that you have to sign to pick the package. Moreover, you should specify better on the waybill what do you reserve the right to check. Otherwise, the delivery would be considered accomplished.

f Combining Indoor Residual Spraying and Insecticide-Treated Net Interventions
Does scaling up of malaria control by combining indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLIN) enhance protection to populations? Results from a literature search and from recent household surveys in Bioko, Equatorial Guinea, and Zambezia, Mozambique are presented. Five out of eight previous studies reported a reduced risk of infection in those protected by both interventions compared with one intervention alone. Surveys in Bioko and Zambezia showed strong evidence of a protective effect of IRS combined with nets relative to IRS alone (odds ratio [OR] = 0.71, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.59–0.86 for Bioko, and OR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.50–0.79, for Zambezia). The effect of both interventions combined, compared with those who had neither, was OR = 0.46, (95% CI = 0.76–0.81) in Bioko and 0.34 (95% CI = 0.21–0.56) in Zambezia. Although the effects of confounding cannot be excluded, these results provide encouragement that the additional resources for combining IRS and LLIN are justified.

Valentine's Day
I have to admit, I'm one of those girls that likes Valentine's Day. I always smile when I get a Valentine's Day card in the mail from my Mom or Grandma. Last year I got the most adorable cards from some cute little family friends of mine. And old school pencils...the key to any CPA's heart. The guys this year will have to really step up their game to top puppies and pencils.
Alright, let's talk clothes. When planning an outfit for Valentine's Day it's easy to reach for something red or pink. Which is fine. Who doesn't like a good theme? Red and pink are two of my favorite colors. Put them together and I'm an even bigger fan. The thing I'm not a fan of is blending in. Who wants to go on a date on Valentine's Day and look like every other girl at the restaurant/bar? (think back to the first episode of this season's The Bachelor where almost every girl chose to wear a red dress on night one. so awkward.) I will wear this outfit to work and church in February, but I most certainly will not wear red or pink on the 14th. What will I wear? Stay tuned : )
I hope whatever you do that day, wherever you go, whoever you spend the evening with will be what you hoped for. Wear something you feel confident in. You should leave the house the morning of the 14th thinking you are God's gift to mankind. Listen to Cool Girl by Tove Lo on the way to work, and you'll be ready to rock Valentine's 2017.

Think of piano moving as an art within the Art of Moving. Few things are more precarious than a baby grand on a staircase. Texas is full of musicians, and classic pianos are a common enough household item. (We don't move grand pianos. Contact us to for information on piano sizes we move.)
Our experienced staff takes every conceivable precaution before moving a piano. We plan the move before we even touch the instrument, measuring everything with care so as not to encounter any unforeseen obstacles along the way, and that includes wrapping stairs and sharp corners. We understand that tuning and repairs to pianos are expensive, so we don't mess around.
Also, we do have insurance in the extremely unlikely event of an accident. Remember though, that the Art of Moving means we are prepared for everything. Leave your precious cargo in the hands of the true Texas piano movers.
Oh, and yes, we can move standing harps, didgeridoos, tubas, bagpipes, etc.

The parent company of Alaska Airlines reported its highest quarterly profit in its history Thursday … despite stiff competition in the Northwest skies.
Delta Air Lines continues to expand on Alaska's home turf. Alaska Air Group CEO Brad Tilden told Wall Street analysts his carrier is "doubling down" on service to hold its rival at bay.
"As we pause to take a look at how we're doing mid-year and two and a half years into the biggest competitive incursion we've seen in a while, I am happy to share that we are thriving. Our operation is firing on all cylinders."
Alaska Air executives said they're maintaining market share at SeaTac Airport, which both Alaska and Delta now claim as a key hub.
Delta has begun flying to Juneau, Sitka and Ketchikan, which had only been served by Alaska Airlines.
The brisk growth by both carriers seems to be coming at the expense of other airlines serving the Northwest such as United and Southwest.
Delta executives said they're bullish about the performance of their new Pacific gateway during their own earnings conference call a few days ago.

Cob house building is a traditional building technique using hand formed lumps of earth mixed with sand and straw. Cob is easy to learn and inexpensive to build. It dries to a hardness similar to lean concrete and is used like adobe to create self supporting, load bearing walls.
The cob house method has been used for centuries throughout Western Europe, even in rainy and windy climates, as far north as the latitude of Alaska. This ancient technology doesn't contribute to deforestation, pollution or mining, nor depend on manufactured materials or power tools. Cob is nontoxic and completely recyclable, which is important in this era of environmental degradation, dwindling natural resources and chemical contaminants.
As they are hand built and do not use a rectangular modular material, like bricks, the interiors tend to be very sculptural and three dimensional, utilising materials and forms found in nature to very beautiful effect.
Here are some examples of the types of cob house interior spaces that can be achieved.

The question that matters is WHO.
WHO controls the production of our money is WHO has the power. In this most excellent video Damon clearly explains this relationship. It's simple, it's the truth, and it doesn't have to be like this – shouldn't be like this!
I suggest that this video is the one that should be shared and should go viral. The hypocrisy of our money system is now glaringly open for you to see – witness the Daily Show video with the President of the Mortgage Banker's Association (MBA) lecturing homeowners about their moral obligations while simultaneously walking away from their own mortgage. Disgusting.
More and more people are waking up, Damon's video lands squarely on the target – a direct hit, I'm looking forward to more.

I am grateful to Sociological Images for linking to a lovely collection of old army and navy recruitment posters, full to bursting with phallic weapons and pretty sailor boys. I am less enamoured with their analysis of these 'homoerotic' images from the past:
'While men have always had sex with men and women have always had sex with women, the idea that a person could be of a particular homosexual type (as opposed to someone who did homosexual acts) only emerged in the late 1800s (in Western culture anyway). Even then, it took a very long time for the idea that gay people might be among us to filter through popular culture. Only after an active gay liberation movement made homosexuality more visible did people actually start to look for it in people they knew'
http://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2011/10/04/homosexuality-and-our-collective-consciousness/sociological images
I disagree with this conclusion because a) I am certain that even in the 1940s, or 1960s, when homosexuality was illegal, people 'actually start(ed) to look for it in people they knew'. Literature, film, cartoons and other forms of popular culture, have had references to the 'homosexual menace' ever since the 'homosexual' became identified and pathologised in the 19th century. And I disagree with it because b) even now, in Gay Friendly 2011, we constantly and deliberately refuse to see the 'gay' or 'homosexual' or even 'homoerotic' charge of many images of men. I have not seen one article in Sociological Images examining the way men are presented in our culture, as desirable to themselves and each other. Take this photo of Beckham for example. It is as homoerotic as any of those Navy posters, if not more so. As Mark Simpson might say, Becks and his oiled up body are screaming: WANT ME!
And as Simpson actually has said:
"In a spornographic age it's no longer enough for the male body to be presented to us by consumerism as merely attractive, or desiring to be desired, as it was in the early days of nakedly narcissistic male metrosexuality. This masculine coquettish-ness, pleasing as it is, no longer offers an intense enough image. Or provokes enough lust. It's just not very shocking or arousing any more. In fact, it's just too… normal. To get our attention these days the sporting male body has to promise us nothing less than an immaculately groomed, waxed and pumped gang-bang in the showers."
Talking of Showers, Sociological Images turns its 'right on' attention to this ad from the 1940s for lifebuoy soap and decides the homosexual subtext would not have been identified by its readers back then:
'From a contemporary U.S. perspective, where most of us have heard homophobic jokes about not dropping the soap in the shower, two men showering together (even or especially in a military context) and using language like "hard" and "get yourself in a lather" is undeniably a humorous reference to gay men.'I think, however, that this was not at all the intention in 1942, where the possibility of men's sexual attraction to other men wasn't so prominent of a cultural trope. It simply wasn't on people's minds as it is today.'
Apart from the fact that 'drop the soap' jokes are hardly 'homophobic' but rather an expression of people's awareness of the homoerotics of men when they get naked together, I think Soc Images is underestimating both people's awareness of homosexuality in the past, and their continued repression in the present. Does this image scream 'Homo gang bang' to you? It does to me but I don't see anyone commenting on the blatant homoerotics of Sporno, except for, yes, Mark Simpson.
And I have to agree with Simpson's conclusions too, about why we avoid the homo-subtexts in contemporary culture, but insist in identifying them in cultural products from the past, such as in this case the film Top Gun:
'I suspect it's more a case of the past being a foreign country — so 'gayness' can be safely projected onto something in the past, even if it was once what hundreds of millions of straight young men saw as the very epitome of aspirational heterosexuality.'
I think this is an example of how the term and identity 'gay' is a way of sidelining homosexual interest between men into a specific separate identity, and avoiding the homosexuality apparent in masculinity as a whole. But nothing gets past me, Sociological Images. I'm on masculinity's case!

Neurotrophic keratitis is a degenerative corneal disease caused by impairment of corneal sensory innervation. It is characterized by decreased or absent corneal sensation, leading to epithelial breakdown, impairment of healing, and ultimately to the development of corneal ulceration, melting and perforation.[1] This condition was initially described as neuroparalytic keratitis: Magendie demonstrated this condition experimentally in 1824.
Ocular and systemic conditions associated with damage at any level to the fifth cranial nerve, from the Trigeminal nucleus to the corneal nerve endings may lead to the development of neurotrophic keratitis. The most common causes include herpetic keratitis, chemical burns, long-term use of contact lenses, corneal surgery, ablative procedures for trigeminal neuralgia, and surgical procedures for reduction of jaw fractures. Other less frequent causes are space-occupying intracranial masses (e.g., schwannoma, meningioma and aneurysms) that can lead to compression of the nerve and reduce corneal sensitivity. Systemic diseases that may compromise trigeminal function like diabetes, multiple sclerosis and Leprosy may lead to the development of neurotrophic keratitis. Presence of neurotrophic keratitis in children is rare and may be seen in association with congenital syndromes like Riley-Day syndrome, Goldenhar- Gorlin syndrome, Mobius syndrome, Familial corneal hypesthesia and Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis[2]
Neurotrophic keratitis is considered to be a rare disease with an estimated prevalence of less than 5/10,000. It is estimated that neurotrophic keratitis affects 6% of herpetic keratitis cases, 12.8% of Herpes zoster keratitis cases and 2.8% of patients who underwent surgical procedures for Trigeminal neuralgia.
Corneal nerves play an important role in maintaining corneal epithelial integrity, proliferation and wound healing. It has been postulated that corneal sensory nerve damage leads to marked changes in levels of neuromodulators, that cause impairment in epithelial cell vitality and metabolism of the epithelial cells. This can affect mitosis of epithelial cells and consequently lead to an epithelial breakdown. There is an associated reduction in lacrimation reflex with sensory nerve involvement, which can worsen the damage. The corneal epithelium thickness is decreased, and epithelial cells show intracellular swelling, loss of microvilli, and an abnormal production of the basal lamina. The resulting morphological and metabolic epithelial disturbances lead to the development of recurrent or persistent epithelial defects, which can progress to corneal ulceration, melting and perforation. A large number of chemical mediators have been postulated to play a role in the development of neurotrophic keratitis including nerve growth factor, Substance P, neuropeptide Y, Calcitonin gene-related peptide, Galanin, and Acetylcholine.
Patients with Neurotrophic keratitis rarely complain of symptoms, probably due to their lack of corneal sensation. Occasionally, however, they may present with redness and blurring of vision. The blurring of vision can occur due to persistent epithelial defects, corneal edema, or scarring. Antecedent episodes of redness and eye pain or the presence of cutaneous blistering or scarring suggest previous herpetic infections. A history of corneal trauma, surgery, chemical burns, long-term use of topical medications, neurosurgical procedures, or diabetes may be obtained.
The hallmark of this disease is reduced or absent corneal sensation. Neurotrophic keratitis can be classified into three stages according to the Mackie classification. This staging is based on the severity of corneal damage, increasing from stage 1 to stage 3.
In summary, staging of neurotrophic keratitis is characterized by epithelial changes (stage 1), persistent epithelial defects (stage 2), and corneal ulcer (stage 3).
The diagnosis is frequently suspected by the patient's history associated with trigeminal impairment, presence of persistent epithelial defects or ulcers, and decreased corneal sensitivity. [3]The presence of systemic diseases (such as Diabetes Mellitus), medication use (like neuroleptics), and corneal causes (like contact lens abuse, chemical burns, etc. ) must be evaluated. Clinical evaluation of different cranial nerve functions may help in localization of the site of the lesion. Associated seventh or eighth nerve palsy may be an indication of acoustic neuroma or its surgical resection causing trigeminal nerve damage. Associated third, fourth, and sixth nerve palsy may point to a cavernous sinus pathology.
Assessment of the cornea includes a quantitative evaluation of decreased corneal sensation using a Cochet-Bonnet or no-contact gas esthesiometer.
Slit lamp examination can be of great help for identifying the characteristic corneal lesions and for sector iris atrophy, which is characteristic of herpetic infections. An ulcer, if seen, requires microbiological examination to rule out an infection.
Dilated fundus examination may reveal pale or swollen optic disc in cases of intracranial tumors with trigeminal compression. Tear film function should be evaluated because decreased corneal sensitivity may alter the tear film and trigger a vicious circle in which tear film dysfunction worsens the prognosis of neurotrophic keratitis. The eyelids need to be examined, both for diagnostic and prognostic reasons. Lagophthalmos would exacerbate the changes see
n in neurotrophic keratitis.
Early diagnosis, treatment and careful monitoring of neurotrophic keratitis patients are mandatory to achieve epithelial healing and prevent progression of corneal damage.
The use of preservative-free artificial tears may help improve the corneal surface at all stages of disease severity.
In the event of stromal melting, use of topical collagenase inhibitors, such as N-acetylcysteine, and systemic administration of tetracycline or medroxyprogesterone may be considered. Use of topical antibiotic eye drops to prevent infection in eyes with neurotrophic keratitis at stages 2 and three are recommended. Topical nerve growth factor (NGF) and autologous serum eye drops are considered as promising treatments of neurotrophic keratopathy.[4]
Surgical treatments are reserved for refractory cases. They include partial or total tarsorrhaphy, amniotic membrane transplantation, conjunctival flap, and Botulinum A toxin injection of the eyelid elevator muscle.
Neurotization surgery with direct transfer of the supratrochlear or supraorbital nerves to the subconjunctival space has shown promise. [5][6][7][8]
The prognosis of neurotrophic keratitis depends on the cause and severity of the trigeminal damage and the presence of associated ocular surface disease. It is accepted that the more severe the corneal sensory impairment, the higher the probability of neurotrophic keratitis progression. All the current therapeutic approaches focus on preventing the disease progression, but there are none to improve the corneal sensation and visual acuity. However, use of topical nerve growth factor derivatives and an Ergoline derivative, called Nicergoline are promising approaches in improving corneal sensation and thus extremely beneficial in patients who fail to respond to conventional therapy.[9]
Neurotrophic keratitis is best managed by an interprofessional team that also includes the ophthalmology nurse.
Clinicians should be aware that patients with neurotrophic keratitis rarely complain of symptoms, probably due to their lack of corneal sensation. Occasionally, however, they may present with redness and blurring of vision. The blurring of vision can occur due to persistent epithelial defects, corneal edema, or scarring. Antecedent episodes of redness and eye pain or the presence of cutaneous blistering or scarring suggest previous herpetic infections. History of corneal trauma, surgery, chemical burns, long-term use of topical medications, neurosurgical procedures, or diabetes may be obtained. Once the disorder is suspected, a prompt referral to an ophthalmologist is necessary.
Early treatment can help prevent the worsening of the corneal injury.

Just bought pozirk.games domain name!
So far, didn't come up with any real use, but it looks cool. 😎
I wish I could register it with my favorite Internet.bs, but they don't sell .game TLD, so I have registered domain with crappy GoDaddy, they were the cheapest. 🙁
Btw, .game TLD is also available, but it's much more expensive.

Diplomacy and International Institutions
Outsiders tend to underestimate the deep psychological impact that the last almost three years have had on Egyptians. Not long after the exhilaration of Mubarak's exit, Egyptians confronted the complexities of their reality. What followed is now a well-worn story of disappointment, tragedy, more disappointment, some more exhilaration, and despair. There are, of course, Egyptians who are looking forward to better days now that the Muslim Brotherhood experiment has been short-circuited. Still, the uncertainty and violence have taken a toll. For good reason, Egypt is a country collectively on-edge. Although it has avoided the general depravity that characterizes Syria—with perhaps the exception of the Sinai—the delegitimizing and dehumanizing discourse that is now common in Egyptian debates about the future makes the search, conducted mostly by outsiders, for negotiation and consensus fanciful. Egypt has reached the stage where, despite a roadmap for reconstituting an electoral political order, the goal remains for one group or another to impose its political will on the others, just as it has been since February 2011.
It is pretty clear that whichever group has the support of the military is more than likely to win this battle. Guns matter, but so do ideas, which is why Egypt is so profoundly depressing these days. Instead of creative solutions for a country whose problems are piling up, people seem to want to pound each other into the ground. The rejoinder to this observation among a seemingly large number of Egyptians is, "Well, we need to pound people into the ground before we can get on with fixing the country." This can't end well.
This all comes to mind because of an article I read a week ago and an encounter I had with some Egyptian friends in DC last week. The Muslim Brotherhood, through its official Twitter handle, @Ikhwanweb, was peddling a piece that appeared in Middle East Monitor by Badr Mohammed Badr. MEMO, as the publication calls itself, seems to be an outlet for the Muslim Brotherhood, and Badr—who formerly worked for Brotherhood tribunes al Da'wa (The Call) and al Sha'ab (The People) and a few other Brotherhood-affiliated publications offers up some standard MB fare in "Why is Israel Supporting the Egyptian Coup?" He conjures the Mossad planning the July 3 coup with the help of the Emiratis; invokes visits to Israel right after the military intervention by Brotherhood bogeymen Mohamed ElBaradei and Hamdeen Sabahi (I laughed out loud); claims the delivery of Israeli weapons to the Egyptian armed forces prior to the crackdown on Raba'a al Adawiya (thanks to Turkey's official Anadolu Agency); quotes Noam Chomsky; and offers a series of statements by Israeli commentators and long-retired ambassadors that are taken wildly out of context, are just plain stupid, or are simply made up.
Never mind the fact that given the Muslim Brotherhood's hostility toward Zionism, Israel, and Jews more generally, Israelis had reason to be relieved when the military dumped Mohammed Morsi last July, but that is beside the point. Badr's article is particularly egregious at this moment in Egypt's struggle. Cairo's difficulties with Hamas aside, there has long been a deep connection between Egyptian nationalism and Palestine. Zionism—which is to many Egyptians an expression of European colonialism—and the Palestine question crystallized at roughly the same time as Egypt's own nationalist awakening. As a result, resisting the British and Zionists was perceived as the same battle. In The Philosophy of the Revolution, which was written after the July 1952 coup in order to give an intellectual patina to the Free Officers' motives, Gamal Abdel Nasser (or his widely believed ghostwriter, Mohammed Hassenein Heikal) specifically linked Palestinian and Egyptian resistance to foreign penetration. Opponents across the political spectrum excoriated Anwar Sadat for his abdication of Egyptian nationalist principles when he came to terms with Israel. Hosni Mubarak's critics cited relations with Washington, which they believed were a function of Egypt-Israel ties, as the reason for Cairo's diminished status in the region and the world.
I could go on and on with examples, but what's important is that Badr knows his history too and he is using it in an effort to frame the terms of the debate in a dangerous way. By tying al Sisi, the military, and their supporters to Israel, Badr is raising the question of what it means to be a good Egyptian nationalist. If the July 3 military intervention was not the result of an eruption of popular anger at Mohammed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, but was rather a plot hatched at the Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations (known globally by its Hebrew acronym, Mossad) in cahoots with Abu Dhabi and treasonous Egyptians, resistance is the only adequate response for a good nationalist. Badr's account of the coup fits neatly into the Brotherhood's overall narrative of victimhood shot through with the language of martyrdom and violence. As noted above, this can't end well.
Lest anyone believe that the Brothers are the only ones guilty of peddling dangerous nonsense, just take a gander at Egyptian media, which regularly incited Egyptians against other Egyptians, notably those who support or are suspected of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood. It is bad, but an incident a few days ago drove home for me just how bad. I had the opportunity to meet with a group of Egyptians, all of whom are significantly accomplished and educated. They are all people whom I have known for some time and for whom I have genuine affection.
My interlocutors' anger over the state of Egypt was on one level understandable, but one another was startling and overwhelming. It was as if the Brotherhood was not an organization with deep historical roots in Egypt and whose success in 2011 and 2012 was solely the work of a foreign hand—the United States. What about the last three decades? Did they not exist? Successive American administrations going back to Ronald Reagan did rely on Hosni Mubarak on to keep the canal open, maintain the peace with Israel, and keep the Islamists down. I was told that over the course of time, something changed. That American support for Egypt wavered and then ended. The United States, it seems, sought a Muslim Brotherhood-led Egypt because the Brothers had increasingly infiltrated the United States. The proof? I was told to watch noted Islamophobe Steven Emerson's documentary, The Grand Deception. So this is what it has come to. I never actually thought that any of my Egyptian friends or acquaintances would cite Emerson as an authority on anything, but there you have it. The United States supports the Muslim Brotherhood because Emerson says the Brothers are engaged in a plot from within to undermine the United States. This can't end well…

Today's feature is called Hooray for Parties. I made this super duper totally cute absolutely fabulous mini file folder. Can you tell I'm excited and proud of what I made.
Why???? Because it's digital.
Now don't run away. Listen.
I have shook my head a million times and said not me. No Way! I'm not a digital girl.
I only know how to turn my computer off and on. I like the hands on. I don't know how.
Well, guess what? I saw this Hooray for Parties ensemble which will print out the invitations, the thank your, a garland, mini folder, treat folder, and more.

So I thought I should make a garland for the upcoming CraftD Crop on January 25. Just click, print and glue.
I can do that.
But when I printed the garland it printed a page of these cute folders. Oh My! My head started spinning with the ideas I could do with these little folders.
Now I was really excited.
I cut out the folder and realized that by just adding a whisper white 3 x 5 piece of card stock my first folder was finished. Is has a little dotted line showing you where to fold it.
I grabbed my pearls and added those so now I can call the project HYBRID. Aren't I fancy now?
O.K. Now what was I going to put inside my mini folder.
My wish list of course.
I started creating one on my word program and then I thought……MDS

Within a few minutes I was having so much fun.
Here is my wish list.
Now this isn't my first time making something on MDS because I am a demonstrator and I have gotten a few MDS (My Digital Studio) downloads for FREE.

What would you put inside your mini folders?
Bear Hugs,

The Mural of Honour
The Mural project was launched in November 2005 as a fundraising project for the new Founders' Gallery at the Military Museums. The process of installing the Mural panels began in November 2006, and the completed mural was unveiled in the atrium of The Military Museums on 9 November 2007.
The 240 tiles that represent Canada's military history from the War of 1812 to present day operations are highlighted by an interactive display in the Museum's atrium. The collective stories reveal the different theatres of war Canadians have been involved in for nearly 200 years, including both overseas and domestic operations.
TMM Mural of Honour
The Mural Project was initiated to raise funds for the creation of the Founders' Gallery at the Military Museums. As the project evolved, it became clear that this was an opportunity to fulfill my vision to bring Canadian military history to the public in a creative and captivating way.
A tremendous team of volunteers embraced my vision and worked diligently to support this project in the early years and I am sincerely grateful for their devoted efforts, in particular, Ian Watson, who has devoted himself to this project and has been invaluable to the development of the Interactive Display. I am also very grateful to another volunteer, Marg Liessens who has provided invaluable support with proof-reading and content management.
I'd like to thank all of those who sponsored paintings in the Mural, for their generous donations and for stepping forward to participate in this unique initiative. The Mural Project would also not have been possible without the initial support of The Bank of Montreal, whose faith in our project enabled us to get the Mural launched. We have since exceeded our fundraising goal by raising over 600,000 dollars. I would also like to express my great appreciation for Digital Heritage in the initial development of our Interactive Display.
I understand the importance of legacy and remembrance, but I never predicted the impact this project would have on the families and friends who participated by paying tribute to the veterans in their lives, and to the shared history that is important to all of us.
These digital pages will continue to evolve over the years and will help viewers better understand the great challenges, tragedies and accomplishments inherent in armed conflict. What began as a fundraising endeavor has become a powerful memorial to generations of Canadians who answered the call, who fought valiantly, often at great cost, for their country and for a better world.
My hope is to give viewers a sense for the realities of war, of the the human cost and the innocence of the enthusiastic young men who enlisted versus the wiser, battle weary men who returned. And, of course, to honour those who did not return.
Karen Storwick
Director, Mural Project
Lewis Lavoie was born in 1965 in St. Albert, Alberta, and is an established portrait painter and book illustrator. He is best known for his mural mosaics, which he engineers and executes for special projects across the country. Over the years, Lewis has been honoured with many awards for artistic merit.
Perhaps Lewis' greatest challenge and achievement to date has been The Military Museums Mural, commissioned by The Military Museums in Calgary where he combined both personal legacy and military history to create an extraordinary educational exhibit for permanent display.
Incredibly, Lewis was able to capture and incorporate the distinct requests of our many sponsors, a difficult task for any artist. His accomplishment in bringing all the individual panels together to create the larger mural honouring each branch of the Canadian Armed Forces, is truly exceptional.
The mural comprises 240 separate images that together create the mosaic of the servicemen from each branch of the armed forces. Lewis Lavois painted 227 of the panels over a two-year period between 2005 - 2007. The remaining thirteen panels were painted by guest artists, including five works of art by original war artists of the Second World War.

The Afghanistan tribute #126 is of special and enduring significance for visitors to the Mural and indeed to all Canadians. Sponsored by General Walter Natynczyk (Retd), this panel honours the fallen soldiers and service personnel who paid the supreme sacrifice while serving in Afghanistan from 2002 to 2011.
Our sincerest thanks to all the families and service personnel who have helped out with their story submissions and photos in honour of Canada's heroes.
The Military Museum's Mural project has been developed by a team of volunteers who have devoted themselves to making this legacy project possible. The primary Mural development team consists of four people:
Karen Storwick, Founder and Director of the Mural Project
Ian Watson, Content and Software developer
Marg Liessens, Content Management
Rob Alexander, Writer and Author
The Mural Development Team is profoundly grateful for our many devoted volunteers without whom the fulfillment of our vision would not be possible:

Toward a National Consensus
A movement is underfoot to allow national conceal-carry reciprocity between states. Right now many states have at least some semblance of agreements with other states guaranteeing recognition of each others' permits. However, some states stubbornly refuse to allow reciprocity between them. These include California, New York, and Illinois.
All of these result in a convoluted situation where even law abiding citizens that inform police that they are carrying legal weapons from their state can still wind up in jail. FoxNews reported on one case that made it all the way to the Supreme Court.
These are not isolated cases in the age of increased gunphobia. They are likely to continue and expand. There is a growing consensus around those that support the Second Amendment. It is that a national conceal-carry agreement can help get around unconstitutional state laws. These include New York's SAFE Act or a raft of laws pushed by Lt. Governor Newsom.
The NRA has come out in support of such a law. It says in part that the law follows the spirit of the Second Amendment but also follows a course supported nationwide. They write in part that the proposal "allows a person to concealed carry only if they are not federally prohibited from possessing or receiving a firearm, are carrying a valid government-issued photo ID, and are lawfully licensed or otherwise entitled to carry a concealed handgun."
Future of the Second Amendment
The Washington Free Beacon reported on the bill. North Carolina Republican Richard Hudson introduced the law. The new Republican Congress is likely to strongly consider the bill, and President Trump has already said that he supported similar measures.
In short, this will guarantee rights already held by gun owners and hopefully protect them for a new generation of individuals interested in self-defense and firearms ownership. We can only hope so.

SOURCE: "The Many-Headed Monster in Henry VI, Part 2," in Criticism, Vol. 38, No. 3, Summer, 1996, pp. 367-82.
In the essay below, Owens probes the political dimension of Henry VI's imagery of severed heads.
The spectacle of the severed head is so common a feature of Elizabethan and Jacobean history plays that it invites identification as the emblem (or perhaps fetish) that most prominently characterizes the genre. Visual representations of severed heads occur in a broad range of history plays, including Thomas Lodge's The Wounds of Civil War, George Peele's Edward I, William Shakespeare's Henry VI, Parts 2 and 3, Richard III, and Macbeth, George Chapman's Caesar and Pompey, Thomas Dekker's Sir Thomas Wyatt, and John Fletcher and Philip Massinger's Sir John van Olden Barnavelt.1 The reasons for the prevalence of the severed head in the history play are not difficult to determine. The display of the head serves as a striking...

Terrific first portrait and love your interpretation of the Morrigan. xReplyDelete
Nigel that is flipping brilliant! And she looks bad ass. I like her!ReplyDelete
holy moly Nigel... this is your FIRST attempt at portraits?!? ok, you MUST continue to do them. This is fabulous. i hadn't visited here in a while and i'm amazed at what you've been up to. Absolutely fantastic work. i LOVE the look on her face here. Love your words "she simply is"... yes. Beautiful Nigel. xoxReplyDelete
Fabulous....don't be too hard on yourself re the face but I think (for what it is worth being a complete non-artist) that the folded arms are brilliant! Suz xReplyDelete
WoW Nigel! this is brilliant! I agree with Suze about the folded arms, she's saying arque with me if you dare! I love the arched right eybrow!ReplyDelete
suzi b :)
She ain't 'alf bad:)ReplyDelete
{It is not all sweetness and light...so true.}
She has a very strong face and you can see someone who knows her own mind. She comes across to me as quite military...
Great work!
Love the new look blog! {New to me at least...} Just been catching up on some of your posts and very impressed by first ever portrait; I enjoyed seeing the progress {of course!}. Thank you for stopping by recently and I hope you're feeling better. :)ReplyDelete
Tara @ Aquamarine
I like where you took this! The darker colors with her gaze show her as having a very strong will and the skill to use it to meet her wishes!ReplyDelete
I enlarged your photo to get a better look. This is your first attempt at portraits. I can't believe it! I think it's just gorgeous.ReplyDelete
Fantastic piece of art!ReplyDelete
WOW Nigel this is fabulous...ReplyDelete
I would not change a thing.
Anxious to read that interview...hello she's off again...
Happy Weekend to you!
Well, I'm curious enough to look up the Morrigan! I have a concept I can't quite seem to get out into an actual sculpture- Your lovely piece reminds me that its still up there, rolling around in my head- I wanted to work out a sculpture wherein a woman, fed up with her lot in life has decided she will turn into a crow and just fly away. And, if I could just fit a few more hours into each day I might just get to that project. So off I go to learn more of the mysterious Morrigan. (Does it have anything to do with a mom saying to her children "What? You want more? Again?")ReplyDelete

Week 6 Lesson Objectives
Homework Video
Using the Video Summary sheet provided, Paraphrase (that means to say in your own words) the main points of the video, and write down any questions you might have.
Please also watch this video
What we did in class
Mrs Marini made some models of flowers with plastic cups and pipe cleaners, with double sided tape on the end of the stigma, and chalk dust for pollen. We watched what happened when the pipe cleaner bee visited the first flower to drink the nectar in the bottom, and then went to the second flower to do the same.
As the bee drank from the first flower, it collected pollen from the anthers on its legs. The pollen was then deposited on the sticky stigma on the second flower to demonstrate the pollination of the flower.
We watched a section of a David Attenborough documentary called the Secret Life of Plants. It showed how flowers are specifically designed to attract pollinators, and how each flower is specifically formed just right to be pollinated at the right time, but the right animal. Quite fascinating to see how all the different flowers have the same parts, but how they are presented in the different flowers to perfectly match the associated pollinator.
Afterwards, we completed a labelled diagram of a bee and worked on forming our understanding of the relationship between bees and flowers through sentence stems and our connections.
Literacies of Science
Why do we use a labelled diagram?
We use a labelled diagram to show the shape, size and features of an object.
What does a labelled diagram include?
A labelled diagram might include a title, an accurate drawing, a scale to show the object's size and labels showing the main features. A line connects the label to the feature.
Links to explore
Watch this funny video for another explanation of the parts of a flower, pollination and fertilisation of a plant.
