Lamp lighting ceremony, an auspicious occasion in every nurse's life is held in reverence to Florence Nightingale or Lady with the Lamp as she is more popularly known, this ceremony initiates the students into the noble profession of nursing, where adorned in their uniforms for the first time, these students hereafter will study and practice in actual medical surroundings.
" Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation, as any painter's or sculptor's work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God's spirit? It is one of the Fine Arts: I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts."
Florence Nightingale
Lamp Lighting Ceremony for the 9th batch of B.Sc. (N) and 49th batch of G.N.M students took place on 28th November 2014 at Child Jesus College of Nursing, Trichy. Dr.Illaveni K. B.D.S, M.Sc, P.HD ( Anatomy), Lecturer at SRM, Trichy. The programme started at 4.30 p.m with the procession of the 1st year B.Sc.(N) and G.N.M students, faculty, dignitaries and the chief guest, followed by a prayer. The college SNA vice president welcomed the gathering, the students, in the presence of everyone including their parents. They lit their lamps and took the pledge of Florence Nightingale.
The chief guest in her keynote address emphasized the significance of the nurse's white uniform and the power of nurses. Cultural events by the students emphasized respect for nature and mother earth and they entertained the gathering. It was appreciated by everyone especially by the proud parents of the 1st year students. The programme ended at 6.30 pm with a vote of thanks followed by College and National Anthem.
"Grant that I may radiate Thy Light, Thy Love,
Thy Healing, Thy Joy, and Thy Peace
to all those around me
and all those in my thoughts
this day and ever more."
? Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Mrs. Sheela John, Child Jesus College of Nursing, Trichy

Wondering which law reviews are only accepting submissions via Scholastica? In this blog post, we provide an ongoing list.
Since the last update to this blog post in August of 2018, 48 new law reviews have joined our platform. Law reviews are also continuing to transition to only accepting submissions via Scholastica. As of now, over 145 law reviews only use Scholastica.

Lowerland Herd Sire Reserve 2015
Release date: October 2017
Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon 49%; Petit Verdot 48%; Merlot 3%
Style: Barrel fermented and oak matured for 24 months in second and third fill French oak
Winemaker: Johnnie Calitz (Anura)
Tasting notes:
An honest, unpretentious and slightly earthy nose of freshly picked mulberries and tobacco leaf starts to engage the senses. The theme continues with hints of mint on the front palate and fresh tobacco leaf and mulberry notes on the mid palate, ending off with a lingering raw mushroom tour of the forest floor.
A beautiful, elegant expression of a Bordeaux style blend, with unmistakable backbone and an intriguing story line of terroir and wine making. Masculine in core, feminine in expression, this wine will satisfy a diversity of wine palates.
Enjoy with a hearty platter of charcuterie, smoked cheese and fresh fruit.
* Made from the grapes that won the Old Mutual Trophy for Best Cabernet; class winner for best Petit Verdot (unwooded) at the young wines show and a Michelangelo Gold for the Merlot.

To keep everyone updated on what the Sustainability Committee is doing, here are the notes from last meeting. If you have anything you want brought up next meeting, just comment or send me an email firstname.lastname@example.com
Committee on Sustainability
February 1, 2008
Meeting Notes
It was expressed that there is a need for obvious leadership from the highest levels of the campus Administration. A statement from the President on MICA's commitment to sustainability and the reduction of greenhouse gases would carry a lot of weight with the students. Students are being asked to make significant contributions and sacrifices, but they are not seeing a high level of commitment from the faculty and staff. It appears as though MICA Administrators are not taking these efforts seriously.
Currently it appears that there is no recycling effort at campus events. Is there something that can be done about this?
The idea of a Ride Share program was introduced. This will be looked into with Human Resources. This would need to be an opt-in program, with a meeting date set up for those to attend if they're interested. It would be up to the individuals to participate and make their own ride sharing arrangements.
Trash Talk is taking inventory of cans for recycling and landfill trash in all the buildings, will put cans together where necessary, and will place stickers on all cans. Additional cans may be needed. Cans are needed in all studio areas; currently only a very few exist and there is no recycling effort. Recycling maps will be placed in all buildings to make it easier for everyone to find out exactly where they can take their waste.
In order to get students to switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), we may bring in a vendor to sell to students at the beginning of each semester. This would require a 10% fee from the vendor on all sales (as per MICA's standard vendor agreement). There is also the possibility of Trash Talk buying directly from the vendor and selling CFLs at their Student Involvement Fair on February 22. A special deal could be arranged for students to get one free bulb when they buy one and bring in an incandescent bulb.
There is a solar decathlon in Washington, DC every two years. Is this something in which MICA could partner with JHU? For more information, go to http://www.solardecathlon.org/.
Rana Silver has offered to look into the possibility of partnering with other organizations for sponsorships (Whole Foods, etc).
Michael Hindle is looking into research and implementation of renewable energy and solar panels.
Daphne Porter is looking into the possibility of being able to shut down all computers at the end of the day. If this is reasonable, we will include this in the next community update email.
As part of an ongoing effort to get the word out to the MICA community, the Committee has come up with the following ideas:
Sustainability web site – needs to be updated and have more of a "fun and energetic" feel, with interactive links. Nicole Evanshaw will check with the Communications office to see how much flexibility in design exists, and if Trash Talk can share in design and maintaining content.
Installations – large or small scale installations across campus, which would incorporate the web site url (to drive traffic).
Bulletin boards – placed in key locations (Java Corner, Café Doris, and the Meyerhoff Dining Room) could have one side chalk board, and one side posters that will change periodically, and will include the web site url.
Email – a new email will be sent to update all MICA students, staff and faculty on the recent sustainability initiatives.
Trash collection – to visually illustrate the need for recycling, students may collect trash for one day (maybe in the Fox Building, maybe in Cohen Plaza) and then sort for recycling.

text: Last week, the United Nations announced that nearly 7 million people in South Sudan are in urgent need food, water and basic medicine. Continue to pray for the millions who have had fled their homes for surrounding countries since the crisis began nearly five years ago. Pray that God would continue to give physical and spiritual strength to the frontline workers of this crisis – including our church partner in South Sudan (Faith Evangelical Baptist Church) who is overwhelmed by the needs within communities. Give thanks to God that Canadian Baptists can walk alongside them and offer support at this critical time.

Richard Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist who is perhaps one of the most well known atheists in the world, caused a stir over the weekend by tweeting that "bin Laden has won" after he had a jar of honey confiscated at an airport.
Dawkins made the angry tweet after he had honey confiscated by airport security, presumably because it was over the 100ml maximum allowed in hand luggage on international flights:
Bin Laden has won, in airports of the world every day. I had a little jar of honey, now thrown away by rule-bound dundridges. STUPID waste. — Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) November 3, 2013
Of course I know the airport security rules. My point is those rules are stupid advertising displays of dundridge zeal. Bin Laden has won. — Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) November 3, 2013
(The word dundridges is a word coined by Dawkins to indicate a " petty, bossy, bureaucratic little rule-hound.")
The tweets from Dawkins soon went viral, with over 1,700 retweets at the time of writing. Not all the feedback was positive however ("I'm not sure that Bin Laden's number one target was your honey jar," one follower tweeted, while another compared Dawkins to Winnie-the-Pooh).
Do you idiots seriously think I give a damn about my stupid honey? It's the PRINCIPLE I care about. Get it? Principle, not honey, principle. — Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) November 3, 2013
He went on to argue with the detractors:
@gdavies0 No. It's an example that stands for millions of similar wasteful idiocies. That was obviously my intention. — Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) November 3, 2013
@mar10dg And how, precisely, does honey jeopardise safety? What is the chemistry of the danger? — Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) November 3, 2013
@jcobyoung Do you know how much liquid you would need to blow up a plane? — Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) November 3, 2013
Okay, so complaining to 846,505 people about having to throw away your honey may seem a little petty, but perhaps Dawkins does have a point. The blanket ban on liquids over 100ml was introduced in October 2006, two months after an alleged plot to down transatlantic airliners two months. Experts on "security theater" have argued that the 100ml limit is meaningless, as a 400ml explosive liquid can be transferred to four 100ml containers relatively easily.
While the technology to scan for flammable liquids has apparently been developed, it's roll-out has been held back due to testing delays.

I was running errands at Target and I ran into the seasonal section - VALENTINES! All pink, red and a lot of heart shaped things, I couldn't resist. $5 for 5 heart shaped boxes of chocolates with messages? Why not? Maybe I could get away with a box of chocolate hearts for my Bunny Valentine (husband.)
Here are my finds - and possibly some suggestions for that special someone in your life!
|I think this is a "nice way" of saying "im breaking up with you"
on valentine's day...
|High Maintenance Valentine.
|Affirmation or Denial? You pick.
|For the "HIGH PERFORMANCE" Cassanova -
This reminds me of cheaters!!!
|This one's for my hubby - because this looks like the spastic body
movements that i pass off as dancing to annoy him while he watches TV.
Is the world really this jaded? HAH! I salute the creative director who gave a go signal on this dramatic line of products. Clearly I was alternating between laughter and shaking my head in disbelief, and back to laughing again at Target.
Happy Valentine's Day! (in advance)

I went to the gym this morning. A little later than I had planned, but I dragged myself out of the wonderful, WONDERFUL new bed, got my gym clothes on, ate my small something, and got myself down there by 9:30. Took me almost 90 minutes to do all 3 sets, but hey, I would rather go slowly and ensure I do it right. Plus I think it's about how long it's supposed to take.
In my mind and calendar I decided no matter what, I would do my workout – all 3 sets of it. The number of people, the noise they were making, whatever else was going on around me, I was determined to do this today. My neurotic social anxiety was not going to send me scurrying out of there without finishing everything on the list.
And I did it. There were a couple of close calls – another man was using some of the same machines as I was and there was momentary fluttery panic that I would get out of sorts – but he finished up and left and there was never any conflict. J was also in the gym today with another member, and mercifully there was just a little wave hello and he disappeared. But he did text me just now, inquiring how the workout went. I was happy to have a "yes I have done my homework!" type reply. Progress.
From there I came home and made plans with M for a trip to Ikea and to rearrange our bedroom space. Take about challenges. Any couple with tastes and ideas as different as M and I has a good idea of how our push-pull our conversations on decorating, rearranging furniture, purchase of linens and decorative accessories goes. Thankfully I was still very zen from the workout; no screaming and loss of patience and temper occurred, although by the time he finally left for his run my blood sugar had dropped and I was crashing and on the edge of becoming super cranky if he did not stop talking and let me get to the kitchen to eat.
Ikea will be interesting, because again – different tastes. We're in search of a couple of specific, mobile pieces that can store our electronic gizmos and still be wheeled around out of the way when not in service. M is a guy and very visual, and my description of what I think will work were falling flat. Every single time we venture over there we spend hours looking at everything. Even though we are not in the market for living room furniture (and would be highly unlikely to purchase it there anyway), we look at it. We go through the kitchens (remodeling ours is on the longer range radar) and the bedrooms and everything else imaginable. Even the kids section is not out of reach; we have been known to repurpose things found there as well.
Today I am on a mission for a couple of small, specific pieces, and I have warned M that I am on a deadline. My goal is to decide if we're going to decide, purchase it, bring it home and get it put together and into service. This includes moving a couple of existing dressers and figuring out what to do with a rather large collection of my shoes. Fall and M's decluttering season are on the horizon, and I really cannot wait! With that comes more of my own reorganization and thinning of closets.
We also have work to do in the guest bedroom, moving the queen size bed that is in there now and replace it with our former king. M does not believe it will be THAT much more real estate consumed, but I have concerns about how much room will be available with the larger bed in there. This is one of those situations where we will not know until we get it set up in there, and I suspect M will be surprised by the end result and the need to move a couple of bookcases we have stored in there right now. But I keep reminding myself that fall and M's decluttering season are coming; be patient. I am not naturally patient with these sorts of projects, especially since M is such a packrat.
It will be okay. We love each other; we are happily married. I will keep reminding myself of that when the urge to strangle him overwhelms me later today.

MELBOURNE, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Former Australia captain Mark Taylor resigned from Cricket Australia's (CA) board of directors on Monday in the wake of a scathing review into the governing body's culture and governance.
Taylor's resignation comes four days after board chairman David Peever stepped down once his position became untenable in the wake of the Longstaff review, which was commissioned following the Cape Town ball-tampering scandal.
The 54-year-old Taylor had been touted as a possible successor for Peever but ruled himself out of the chairmanship last week, citing media commitments with local broadcaster Nine Network.
"I think I've made the right move in the interest of Australian cricket to step off and give some other, hopefully, former player, an opportunity to add some fresh ideas to this role as a director of Cricket Australia," he told reporters.

BACKGROUND: Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is one of the largest unmet needs in the breast cancer survivor population. This review addresses this unmet need with the question. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this article is to better understand potential interventions to manage FCR when caring for breast cancer survivors. METHODS: Databases used were PubMed, CINAHL®, Google Scholar, EMBASE, and Scopus.
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on depression, anxiety and psychological distress across populations with different chronic somatic diseases. METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to examine the effects of MBSR on depression, anxiety, and psychological distress. The influence of quality of studies on the effects of MBSR was analyzed. RESULTS: Eight published, randomized controlled outcome studies were included.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death among Americans each year, yet the misperception still exists that cardiovascular disease is not a serious health problem for women. Evidence indicates that anxiety contributes to the development of heart disease. The primary purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of Kabat-Zinn's mindfulness-based stress reduction program to reduce anxiety in women with heart disease. Anxiety, emotional control, coping styles, and health locus of control were compared in a treatment and control group of women with heart disease.
OBJECTIVE: This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on the mental and physical health status of various cancer patients. METHODS: Ten studies (randomized-controlled trials and observational studies) were found to be eligible for meta-analysis. Individual study results were categorized into mental and physical variables and Cohen's effect size d was computed for each category.
BACKGROUND: Due to new treatment modalities in the last decades, a decline in cardiovascular deaths has been observed. There is an emerging field of secondary prevention and behavioural programmes with increased interest in the use of mind-body practices. Until now, these have not been established in cardiovascular disease treatment programmes. DESIGN: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available evidence on the effectiveness of mind-body practices for patients with diagnosed cardiac disease.
Research supports the use of supervised exercise training as a primary therapy for improving the functional status of people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Several reviews have focused on reporting the outcomes of exercise interventions, but none have critically examined the quality of intervention reporting. Adequate reporting of the exercise protocols used in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) is central to interpreting study findings and translating effective interventions into practice.
Medication adherence is a crucial part in the management of chronic diseases. As older adults form a greater proportion of the population with chronic diseases and multiple morbidities, understanding medication adherence in older adults becomes important. In the present article, we aimed to systematically review the literature for the factors associated with medication adherence in the geriatric population. We carried out a literature search using electronic databases and related keywords. 17?391 articles were reviewed in total. 65 articles were found to be relevant to our objective.
In the United States, the prevalence of depression is quite high-9% in the general population-with women, young adults, and seniors particularly vulnerable. In recent years, increasing numbers of people are turning to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for relief from depression and other mental health problems. One form of CAM, yoga, has been growing in popularity; this rise in popularity has, in part, been driven by interest in how this practice, with its mindfulness and meditation aspects, may decrease depression.
BACKGROUND: Neck pain (NP) is disabling and costly. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effectiveness of exercise on pain, disability, function, patient satisfaction, quality of life (QoL) and global perceived effect (GPE) in adults with NP. METHODS: We searched computerised databases up to May 2014 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing exercise to a control in adults with NP with/without cervicogenic headache (CGH) or radiculopathy. Two reviewers independently conducted selection, data abstraction and assessed risk of bias.
PURPOSE: An emerging body of evidence has shown the therapeutic effect of both mindful and non-mindful physical exercises on the treatment of depression. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of mindful and non-mindful physical exercises as an intervention in managing depression or depressive symptoms based on a systematic literature review.

Nike Vapor Speed Iron Reviews (2015)
Here I will be reviewing the Nike Vapor Speed irons, the sister irons to the Nike Vapor Pro and Nike Vapor Pro Combo irons. Nike has made huge strides as a golf equipment brand and these irons are certainly indicative of that. Read on to find out what you need to know about these top-quality golf irons to make an informed purchase.
What are the reviews like?
These irons have been received extremely well. They have a 4.8/5 rating on Amazon (which is, not surprisingly, one of the best places to buy the irons) and a 4.5 star rating on Nike's official website. Reviewers have lauded these irons for their great feel, aesthetics, distance and height, as well as being a big improvement over the previous year's Nike Covert 2.0 irons. In terms of potential negatives, some feel that the forgiveness isn't quit up to par with other irons in the game-improvement class, and also, some feel that the look at address isn't very confidence-inspiring.
What are the features?
Nike's top-of-the-line game improvement irons are low and deep weighted, which promotes a higher trajectory and increased distance. Also encouraging a higher ball flight (and increased ball speeds) are the lightweight, "tip-responsive" steel shafts. The center of gravity (CG) is balanced in the center of the face, and the clubheads themselves feature "Spring Steel" faces with NexCor technology (a technology that increases ball speed for a wide range of players).
Long irons (4, 5, 6, 7) have Flybeam reinforced hollow cavities that help with energy return and off-center stability, while short irons (8, 9, PW, AW) have RZN cavities that provide refined feedback and stability.
The grooves on the clubface are deeper and closer together (what Nike calls "X3X Groove Technology"), which promotes more ball spin. The width of the sole is moderate and the leading edge is beveled, and this allows for more forgiveness off when hitting off the turf.
Below is a table of the iron specs (loft, lie, etc.) if you're interested.
|Length (men)
|Length (women)
|3 (Hollow Cavity)
|4 (Hollow Cavity)
|5 (Hollow Cavity)
|6 (Hollow Cavity)
|7 (Hollow Cavity)
|8 (RZN Cavity)
|9 (RZN Cavity)
|PW (RZN Cavity)
|AW (RZN Cavity)
|SW (RZN Cavity)
What about look, sound and feel?
The Vapor Speed irons aren't necessarily like typical game improvement irons you'd find on the market. The offset is reasonable, the top line isn't overly thick, and the sole is wide enough to be very forgiving. The length of the head from heel to toe is a bit longer than other similar irons, but not offensively so.
The shafts are relatively long, and this, combined with stronger lofts, helps significantly with distance. These irons have really solid proportions overall, and they can make you feel pretty confident when you're addressing the ball. The "swoosh" design on the back is very minimalist and effective — you can be sure that the irons will catch eyes when they're sitting in your bag.
The strike itself sounds like that of decent golf club — very solid. Nothing amazing, but certainly nothing bad either. I personally liked the feel of the irons and found them very responsive and forgiving.
How do these clubs perform?
Compared to the other models in the Vapor series (Pro and Pro Combo), the Vapor Speed irons launch higher without excessive spin, and this is beneficial for golfers who hit it low and could stand to gain some distance by hitting a higher trajectory. Tests have shown that mis-hit shots with Vapor Speed irons typically go a bit further than the other Vapor models, probably due to the added stability from the Flybeam (see above). This can help amateurs with slower swing speeds improve their consistency.
The Vapor Speed irons are generally easy to hit due to the size and length of the clubface, as well as the weighting of the sole. As I mentioned above, they are very forgiving; you will definitely be able to tell when you mis-hit a shot, but your ball flight won't be penalized as much as it could be, which is a big plus.
Where should I buy these clubs?
Like most other name brand golf products, the price is generally protected by the manufacturer, and any supposed new set being sold at a much lower price compared to what is listed on the brand website is most likely a knockoff. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Your best and safest bet is to get them from Amazon here (sets for women can be purchased here) or from the Nike website, but Amazon would likely be faster and more convenient if you already purchase things from there.
What about a used set?
If you would rather save money and get a used set of Vapor Speed irons, you can look at either this page on eBay or Global Golf. I think eBay is generally a bit better for used irons. There are plenty of listings for used sets that you can look through, and you're completely protected by both retailers' money back guarantees.
Pros: Can handle tough lies just fine; can shape shots with ease; consistent ball flight; nice look and feel
Cons: Forgiveness is decent but could be better; may be a bit too light for some; offset makes irons a little more difficult to hit compared to other similar game-improvement irons
The Vapor Speed irons are excellent irons at a reasonable price point, and if you're someone who wants any of:
a) great forgiveness, more consistency, a higher launch and/or more distance on your iron shots (especially if you tend to hit low trajectories)
b) modern-design golf irons with the latest technology
… then these irons are certainly an option you should consider. They are among the best that Nike currently has to offer. A quality set of irons such as these can help you play better golf for many years and more than pay back their value over time. The Speed model is well suited for recreational golfers who want more forgiveness and a better trajectory on their shots. Moreover, the best thing you can do is try them out yourself and discover whether or not they are for you.

BOSSIER PARISH, LA (KSLA) - The Bossier Financial Crimes Task Force is warning residents about a new string of phishing texts reported in the area.
Phishing texts are sent from scammers attempting to get money from unsuspecting people person by posing as a legitimate entity over the phone, by email, or by text, according to BFCTF.
This scam comes in the form of a text message that seems to be from the recipient's bank.
The text may include some numbers from the recipient's bank account. The text message requests that the card holder call a phone number and provide the PIN to the bank card or other personal information such as a social security number.
If contacted this way, contact your financial institution directly — never through this text.
If it sounds familiar, this isn't the first time that officials have warned against thsee types of schemes.

Venus trine Pluto
Magnetic love
You have laid bare your heart and soul in this relationship, and you've done so because you had no other choice. This partnership requires you to plumb the depths of your emotions and access the deepest, biggest connection you could imagine! This started out as an overwhelming fascination between you, followed by a big sexual charge.
You may have been strongly attracted to your partner in the very beginning, but now your attraction is out of this world; they have a compelling hold on your imagination and you're still amazed by how deeply you can get into things with them. Loving them is a transformative experience, and it's been intense the entire time you've been together. You need to be aware of how you're coming across at all times, because your partner tends to interpret mixed signals in any way they feel. So just keep this dynamic in mind, and you can circumvent any jealousy or possessiveness issues that could otherwise become a problem. Be completely open about anything that comes up. Honesty can get you even farther in this relationship, and developing an even more amazing and transformative love is a very real possibility.

Following the successful introduction of the first phase, 45-storey tower in Tridel and Rowntree Enterprises' Auberge On The Park community, Tridel is moving forward with marketing of the 29-storey Auberge II. Matching the design of its Graziani + Corazza-designed sibling, Auberge II will offer 215 suites ranging in size from 542 to 2,207 ft², priced starting from the mid-$400,000s.
Residents of the 29-storey Auberge II will share with the first phase the II BY IV Design-appointed amenities found in the connecting podium. We took a closer look at the amenities back in November. They will be complemented by a 2,580 m² park framed by the towers.
The Auberge on the Park site plan shows Auberge II poised so that north and south views from suites will be long, looking between the neighbouring Carrington on the Park towers to the north toward the Oak Ridges Morraine, while south views will extend over the lush Don Valley toward Toronto's Downtown Skyline, framed by phase 1 and future phase 3.
With zoning plans of the development recently settled, the City reviewing the site plan application, and registration in full swing for the second phase, 2018 is set to be a big year for the former Inn on the Park site.
You can find more project facts and renderings by visiting our database file for Auberge, linked below. Want to get involved in the discussion? Check out the associated Forum threads, or leave a comment in the field provided at the bottom of this page.

A message from First Nations University Board of Governors chair Joely Bigeagle:
Good morning FNUniv students, staff and faculty,
Currently, we are facing some difficult and overwhelming challenges with respect to restructuring and downsizing. The board is currently reviewing a business case strategy addressing the short and mid-term plans of FNUniv.
At this time we all need to rely on our ceremonies and culture to lean on.
Fortunately, Reona Brass, Dr. Oliver Brass's daughter, has the insight to ask for a sweat for the women this Sunday April 11 at 1:00 pm at the Paul Dojack centre area. I invite all the women and ask that you ask our supporters to come to the sweat, bring food and tobacco and cloth if needed. I am requesting that the men, if they feel it is necessary, prepare a sweat for the men due to the extreme stresses and pressures we are all under.
There will be another women's ceremony this month as well as another co-ed ceremony to be announced later, as outcomes of the last sweat of March 20. Please forgive the message as presented via email vs in person as is customary and preferred.
I will provide a formal Board of Governors update in the following weeks.
Joely BigEagle, Chair
FNUniv Board of Governors

White on Your Walls = Full of Potential
Where does this Western society obsession for white paint come from? Representing renewal and purity, this soothing colour seems to inspire creativity. After all, when an apartment or a house is repainted for a new owner, do we not put white everywhere?
According to the tastes of the decorator, white can take on many different styles. For example, black and white often give a retro look to a room, just like pastel colours do.
Breath of Fresh Air
You would also like to adopt the elegance and freshness of white? For a modern and clean look, choose a plain adhesive tile, like our Subway, Hexago or Metro models. Easier to clean than a painted wall, our white tiles will perfectly complement marble and textured decors. Adored by bloggers, here are some of the results!
Retro Party
As mentioned earlier, nothing gives an awesome retro look like the marriage of white and black. Here are our tiles, perfectly arranged in the cutest bathroom. Ready for a journey through time?
White, More Colourful Than Ever!
Despite what one might think, white is far from boring! On the contrary, it allows to emphasize the accessories or touches of colour in a decor. Here are our favourite examples!

What is your true opinion of the vuvuzela? Can one produce MUSIC with it, or will it forever be a noisy toy?
Most people just make noise with it. Few people actually try to produce anything even slightly harmonious.
I was near the beach the one day not too long ago, where there was a flea market with people selling flags and vuvuzelas, and it would have been quite enjoyable if it hadn't been for that racket.
When you hear them on TV, you have no idea. If someone blows the thing a few feet away from you... then you'll know.
I don't like the things. I even went as far as making a hub last month where I made it clear.
In any case, I'm glad the World Cup is over, even thought I liked watching the odd match, and all ready other countries are making strict regulations on vuvuzelas, with some even banning them. Good, I say.
I didn't mind them on the TV but I guess up close it would be a different story
I don't like them, but noise and sounds are such a personal thing. If there's a noise I don't like I try and stay away from it. At least it drowned out the whines and abuse of some of the spoilt sportsman.
I saw a clip on TV of a group with Vuvuzelas playing music...it was short so i don't know what they were playing.
@ Anti-Valentine – I agree with you and will read your hub. The sound of that THING close to you is actually dangerous. I've forgotten the decibels output, but it is very-very loud. Even my grandchildren – between the ages of 3 and 7 – was fed-UP with the sound after blowing it for only one afternoon – it was given to them by a soccer-fan. And that night the 2-year-olds were both troubled with ear-ache. So what does this mean – You've got to have a mind of a 2-year old and the ears of a ?WHAT? to enjoy and appreciate a vuvuzela?
@ Shinkicker & Precious Williams– even hearing the sound on TV irritates me and all my musical friends.
@ tonymac04 – 'It is' ? ? ? A noisy toy in the hands of silly teenagers and young adults?
@ Uninvited Writer – I've heard a professional musician playing the thing on TV and it did not sound bad at all. I was quite impressed. I guess I should encourage some music teachers in my region to utilize the thing as a prey-instrument. A lot of talented musicians may be 'discovered' through this thing. Once discovered, we can introduce cornets, trumpets, horns, or any other orchestral instrument to them.
@ Anti-Valentine – I've just read your hub. You sure did some homework! Thanks a lot! I'm pasting your the url of your hub ref. Vuvuzela's here as well as the info you provide in your hub. "The sound of a Boeing 747 in flight is measured at about 125 db, where as a vuvuzela is at 135 db!" http://hubpages.com/hub/The-Vuvuzela-Th … r-Conjured
When the world cup started on the TV, I ran into the house because I thought we'd been invaded by hornets again. It took about 5 games before I had trained my brain to ignore the annoying sound. Like so many really irritating things, its bound to catch on.
by Michelle Dee 6 years ago
What noise do you find most annoying?Are there any noises that really "get on your last nerve" or at least you find annoying and don't want to hear? Okay I will start my list (as a disclaimer let me add that as I get older I am learning to be more tolerant LOL):Gum...
by climberjames 9 years ago
I just published a hub about the 'Vuvuzela' and as a result of typing it about 50 times it is now my current favourite . . .What is your favourite word?

Ugly Sun's offers a brand alt rock…
Tonight: Herd Fest Day 2
After a successful night one of Herd Fest where we saw Sammus take the crowd in the palm of her hand and Award Show burst our eardrums, we are psyched to continue on to night two. Mohawk Place starts early at 6pm with loop artist Griffin! and indie folk singer Kerry Fey playing Happy Hour….
Tonight: The Traditional
Buffalo's own The Traditional are back on home turf in honor of their latest album release. The band is celebrated as an angst-ridden, emo alt-rock ray of hope for the Western NY music scene, honing in on an organic, authentic sound that's often hard to come by. The trio holds true to the ideal of…
Tonight: Cooler
Tonight's show, presented by our good pals at The Public, seems like a no-brainer in terms of quality. Between Cooler, The Slums and Ugly Sun, each band on the bill are local pioneers in their own right, respectably carving out their own pocket within the indie, fuzz-rock and post-punk worlds and consistently putting out thoughtful,…
Cooler – Phantom Phuzz
Through being cool? Well try being Cooler. Buffalo's emogaze-alternative all-stars return for round two with Phantom Phuzz, a six-track EP of regret, carbonated soft drinks, and that sweet, fuzzy thickness. The album's carefully crafted tones compete vigorously with lyrical prowess and song structure for prominence, bringing relevant elements of juxtaposition to Cooler's sophomore effort. Recorded…
Tonight: Cooler EP Release
Phantom Phuzz, the newest six song release from Cooler, comes as a follow up to their hard-hitting EP 1993 released last September.

Joining them will be fellow Buffalo rockers Cooler, who combine grunge and fuzz with early 2000's emo…
Top 20 Buffalo Tracks: 20-11
It's that time of year again, where we re-think and dissect every local song that we've come across organically or via submission. This is our fourth year counting down our top songs and this year, like every other year, has been difficult to whittle down. Like we always remind people, this list is subjective and…
Tonight: Gillian
In elementary school, I had this friend named Gillian (spelled the same way). She was a fearless girl careful coordinate every outfit, had every hair on her head neatly trimmed, was clear and concise, but was also totally unafraid to throw down on the monkey bars, make up Britney Spears songs by herself at recess…

My friends at theSpread.com just published their preview of the Ohio State Buckeyes (+4 and +155 if you are curious) versus the LSU Tigers. Please enjoy and check out their site.
Last year, there was little doubt Ohio State belonged in the BCS title game – even after the Buckeyes were stunningly routed by Florida, the team whose selection was hotly debated leading up to the contest. Ohio State is back in the championship game this season, and the Buckeyes hardly care that some feel they're only making the repeat trip due to luck.
Hungry to avenge last season's lopsided loss, No. 1 Ohio State (11-1) takes on second-ranked LSU (11-2) on Jan. 7 at the Louisiana Superdome, a championship matchup fitting in a season of stunning upsets and the lack of a clearly dominant team.
Oddsmakers from Bodog have made LSU -4 point spread favorites (View College Football odds) for the BCS Championship Game (Game Matchup).

I always loved streets where all the houses were different. When all the houses were the same I couldn't help but imagine that the people inside them were all the same too, living the same lives, with the same dreams, the same passions. Boring. Bland.
When the houses were different I imagined the people were different. Overgrown gardens and blacked out windows concealed mysterious occupants. Quirky designs and ostentatious colours revealed the unique minds that lived there. Huge mansions with gleaming cars parked outside were the product of financial success and years of work.
In Aleppo the streets were all the same, and they were all different.
The first house I passed had been completely reduced to rubble. The next one was half rubble merging with the first, but half the frame still stood. After this came a house where the front had collapsed and the roof had slumped down. Further on there was a house where someone had stacked sand bags in the gaping doorway and covered the missing windows with tarps. Then there was the house riddled with bullet holes so that it looked more like a pumice stone than a home. There was the house where a balcony stood resolute while all the others on the block had been destroyed.
They were all different. But they all bore scars just the same.
The people of Aleppo were all the same too. They all knew the same pain. But they were all different. They had different jobs, different passions, different dreams, and the same hope for peace, just as they did in Guernica in 1937, in London in 1940, in Stalingrad in 1942, in Hiroshima in 1945, in Hue in 1968, in Sarajevo in 1995, in Baghdad in 2003. Always different, but always the same.

About Billy Idol
After the disbandment of Generation X in 1981, the singer, Billy Idol went to New York City. He was strongly determined to build up his musical carrier and he concentrated into his scrawny punk style. He began his solo carrier in 1981 and released "Don't Stop" in 1983. The album contained two popular tracks. Later on, he covered "Mony Mony" of Tommy James and The Shondells which gained him a number of opportunities.
Billy Idol released his first major debut, "Billy Idol" in 1982. This album had shocked those who had known him and listened to his previous tracks and works. The track, "Hot In The City" gained 23rd position in the top chart. And "White Wedding" was also very successful track by Billy. By the end of 1983, he became one of the top contenders.
The next album, "Rebel Yell", was more successful than the previous one. This album sold more than two million copies and was redistributed in 1999 with a recording of demos. "Rebel Yell", contains two great singles, "Rebel Yell" and "Eyes Without A Face". The first single gained Number 46 and the second one gained Number Four in 1984. The singles were moody ballads. After the release of Rebel Yell, two more singles were released in 1984. "Catch My Fall" and "Flesh For Fantasy". Both of these singles achieved good positions in the hit list.
Billy released "Whiplash Smile", a new album in 1986. Perhaps this is the best-titled album by this artist. This album did not sell huge copies in US but a mere collection of remixes was unimaginably hit. In 1988, Billy Idol initiated to release his greatest-hits album which contains 11 best tracks.
When he was working for his fourth album, he got an accident and became semi-paralyzed. He was working in a video for "Cradle of Love" which was interrupted by his accident. Later on, things changed significantly. Billy Idol saw a bad time in his carrier. His decision of recording "Cyberpunk" (1993) on his home computer was not really a bad decision. This rather created a bad impression about him. In the 1990s he remained almost inactive with no significant work. In 2001, Idol came back by a Greatest Hits. Around in 2005, he started collaborating with Stevens with whom Billy did many good works. . He released a Christmas album, "Happy Holiday" in 2006.

Patients with diabetes may find it challenging to manage all of the aspects of their diabetes care. It is well-recognized that patients face ongoing challenges in diabetes self-management, implementing lifestyle changes, and keeping track of schedules for medications and self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), all of which can help manage and prevent comorbidities and complications.
Changes to lifestyle—implementing healthy eating habits and physical activity—can have a large impact on blood glucose levels, and hence diabetes-related complications. But these aspects of diabetes self-management can be difficult for patients to implement consistently.1
Nurse Practitioners play an important role in educating and caring for patients with diabetes. With regular clinic visits that involve diabetes self-management education (DSME) and support, you can help your patients as they work towards their target eating habits and exercise levels.
This presentation, "Living Healthier with Diabetes," is designed to help you initiate a conversation with your patients about some of the challenges they may encounter while living with diabetes and to provide potential solutions. You can review this presentation in English or Spanish with your patients during clinic visits.
Topics covered in this presentation include ways that patients can help remember their self-care instructions, how to incorporate healthy eating habits and exercise into a daily routine, what to do when traveling, where to find financial assistance, when to seek assistance for mental and emotional needs, and how to engage family and caregivers for support managing diabetes.
You can pause the presentation wherever necessary to engage patients in a dialogue about specific challenges and the solutions that might work best. This presentation includes links where patients can find more information and tools to help them with various aspects of diabetes self-care, including other Wellness iNPractice Diabetes tools.

This paper attempts to identify key factor(s) for highly reflective silver (Ag) coatings. Investigation was made over the crystal orientation and surface roughness, using several types of surfaces, including electroplated Ag polycrystal films, physical vapour deposited polycrystal Ag films, and single crystal Ag foils with different crystal orientations. In each type of the surfaces, surface roughness was varied so that, for different combinations of crystal orientation, roughness would elucidate the key factors towards highly reflective Ag coatings. It is found that surface roughness plays a critical role in determining the reflectance, while the crystal orientation has negligible effect. The mean reflectance and one-way ANOVA analysis indicate that the single crystal Ag foils with three orientations performed statistically the same in the same roughness group at significance level = 0.05. Moreover, correlation between the surface reflectance and surface roughness has been proposed for the benefit of coating design. Refection data obtained from the polycrystalline silver samples are used to verify the accuracy of the proposed correlations. It was observed that the development surface area ratio, , is a better roughness indicator in predicting the reflectance of polycrystalline silver films than the arithmetic average roughness, .


text: AC Repair: Signs that Air Conditioner Repair is Needed Posted April 27, 2015 The days are getting longer and temperatures are getting warmer in Greenville, which means you're going to be depending on your air conditioner to stay comfortable. The more you depend on your air conditioner, the greater the possibility you'll be have to depend upon AC repair. We have some warning signs to look out for and some tips to let you know when it's time to call in the experienced technicians from Ken Parker Service Inc to arrange air conditioner service. Air from vents isn't cold – This is likely one of the most noticeable signs that your air conditioner is in need of repair. The key thing you'll want to do is check your thermostat fan setting and confirm that it's set to "auto" rather than "on". If it's set to "on" your AC will steadily blow air even if it's not currently being cooled. If your air conditioner is set to "auto" and it isn't able to achieve the temperature set on your thermostat, that is an indication that it's time to call and get it checked out. Decreased air flow – This issue isn't as easy to spot as the previous, but if you think the air coming from your vents isn't flowing as strongly as it had previously, there could be a concern. If you haven't changed your air filter recently, that would be the first place to check, your problem could be as simple as a dirty air filter. If that's not the case and you're still experiencing troubles, you'll want to call the professionals at Ken Parker Service Inc. Strange sounds – Bizarre noises emerging from your air conditioner isn't a welcome sign. If you hear any clinking or rattling coming from your air conditioner, cranking the volume on your TV so you can't hear the sounds isn't going to fix the problem. The moving parts within your air conditioner can become loose through wear and tear and will have to be corrected by a professional. Try to be aware of how your air conditioner sounds and functions when it's running well. This will make it easier to catch when things aren't running correctly. Keeping up with regular maintenance is another way to diagnose any minor problems before they become major problems. If you haven't yet made your your annual maintenance appointment with Ken Parker Service Inc, now is the perfect time. If you've detected any signs that your air conditioner requires repair give Ken Parker Service Inc a call at 903-246-4877. Back To Blog

(STATS) - Western Illinois tends to get overshadowed in the nation's strongest FCS conference, but what the Leathernecks could do Saturday would grab a lot of attention, and set a record for the Missouri Valley Football Conference.
The nation's No. 13-ranked FCS program - off to a 2-0 start - will try to end a 15-game losing streak against FBS opponents when it visits Northern Illinois (0-3) in DeKalb. Northern Iowa, Illinois State and North Dakota State have combined to give the Missouri Valley three wins over FBS opponents for the third time. The conference has never had four.
Missouri State also has a chance to give the Valley another FBS win Saturday night at Kansas State (1-1). It's less likely, although the improving Bears have surpassed last year's win total with a 2-0 start.
All six of Western Illinois' all-time wins over the FBS - in 35 games - have come against Mid-American Conference teams, and four were against Northern Illinois.
"Sometimes records are deceiving," WIU first-year coach Charlie Fisher said about NIU on his weekly radio show. "They've got good players. It will be a street fight for us against them. We'll have to be ready to play very well."
WIU has much more momentum heading into Saturday's matchup, having defeated Eastern Illinois and Northern Arizona, which have both appeared in the Top 25 this season.
The Leathernecks haven't committed a turnover, with sophomore running back Steve McShane (181 rushing yards per game) and senior wide receiver Lance Lenoir providing balance for a team with the nation's third-best average time of possession (35 minutes, 44 seconds). The defense features one of the better linebackers in the FCS in leading tackler Brett Taylor.
Northern Illinois holds a 21-17-1 series lead, but it's the first time the once-regular rivals are meeting since 2009. Although NIU is coming off a home loss to San Diego State, they have won 35 of their last 38 games at Huskie Stadium.

Gheg or Geg (Gheg Albanian: gegnisht, Standard Albanian: gegë or gegërisht) is one of the two major varieties of Albanian. The other is Tosk on which Standard Albanian is based. The geographic dividing line between the two varieties is the Shkumbin River, which winds its way through central Albania.[8][9]
Gheg is spoken in Northern Albania, Kosovo, northwestern Republic of North Macedonia, southeastern Montenegro and southern Serbia, by the ethnic group known as Ghegs.[9]
Gheg does not have any official status as a written language in any country. Publications in Kosovo and Macedonia are in Standard Albanian, which is based on Tosk. However, some authors continue to write in Gheg.
The Ghegs speak Gheg, one of the two main Albanian dialects. Before World War II, there was no official attempt at legislating a unified Albanian literary language; both literary Gheg and literary Tosk was used.[9] The communist regime imposed a Tosk-based unified standard with basis in the Korçë speech, in all of Albania.[9] The same standard was adopted by the Albanians in Yugoslavia, who had until then used the Gheg standard (Kosovan language),[10] in a process that began in 1968, with culmination in 1972 when the first unified Albanian orthographic handbook and dictionary was agreed upon in 1972.[9]
The Albanian communist regime based Standard Albanian mostly on Tosk. That practice has been criticized, notably by Arshi Pipa, who claimed that this decision deprived Albanian of its richness at the expense of the Ghegs,[11] and he referred to the literary Albanian language as a "monstrosity" produced by the Tosk communist leadership that conquered anti-communist northern Albania militarily and imposed its Tosk Albanian dialect on the Ghegs.[12]
Although Albanian writers in former Yugoslavia were almost all Ghegs, they chose to write in Tosk for political reasons.[13] The change of literary language has significant political and cultural consequences because the Albanian language is the main criterion for self-identification of the Albanians.[14]
The Gheg dialect is divided by four sub-dialects: Central Gheg, Southern Gheg, Northwestern Gheg (or Western Gheg), and Northeastern Gheg (or Eastern Gheg).
Southern Gheg[edit]
Southern Gheg is spoken in Albania (Durrës, Elbasan, Tiranë) and western Macedonia.[15]
A subdialect is Central Gheg, spoken in Tiranë (sometimes included), Krujë, Burrel.[15] The transnational Dibra region speaks Central Gheg dialects as well, and there is one particularly divergent dialect in Upper Reka, the Upper Reka Albanian dialect.[16] Additional included regions include Lura, Tetova, Gostivari, Skopje and Kumanova[17]
The dialect of parts of Mirdita is also sometimes classified as a subdialect of Southern Gheg.[18]
Southern Gheg proper is said to include the prominent dialects of Durres, Elbasan and Tirana.[18]
Northern Gheg[edit]
- Northeastern Gheg (Krasniqe, Nikaj-Mertur, Has, Gashi, Tropoja, Kačanik, Dragaš, Gjilan, Preševo, Bujanovac, Prishtina, Vushtrri, Mitrovica, Podujevo, Medveđa and the formerly Albanian-populated territories of Niš Sanjak (Niš, Vranje, Toplica District).[19]
- Northwestern Gheg (Shkodër, Vermosh, Selcë, Vukël, Lëpushë, Nikç, Tamarë, Tuzi, Shestani-Kraja, Ulcinj, Bar, Plav, Gusinje, Pejë, Gjakovë, Prizren, Lezhe and the rest of Malësia)[19]
- One isolated and particularly divergent Northwestern[20] dialect: the Arbanasi dialect of diaspora Albanians in Croatia[21]
The Italian linguist Carlo Tagliavini puts the Gheg of Kosovo and Macedonia in Eastern Gheg.[22]
Northeastern Gheg[edit]
Northeastern Gheg, sometimes known as Eastern Gheg, is a variant or sub-dialect of Gheg Albanian spoken in Northeastern Albania, Kosovo, and Serbia.
The Northeastern Gheg dialectal area begins roughly down from the eastern Montenegrin-Albanian border, including the Albanian districts (Second-level administrative country subdivisions) of Tropojë, Pukë, Has, Mirditë and Kukës; the whole of Kosovo[a], and the municipalities of Bujanovac and Preševo in Serbia. The tribes in Albania speaking the dialect include Nikaj-Merturi, Puka, Gashi, and Tropoja.
The Albanian speech in roughly around Tetovo and Skopska Crna Gora, in the Republic of Macedonia, is sometimes regarded part of Northeastern Gheg.[citation needed]
Calques of Serbian origin are evident in the areas of syntax and morphology.[23] The Northeastern Gheg slightly differs from Northwestern Gheg (spoken in Shkodër),[9], as the pronunciation is deeper and more prolonged[clarification needed]. Northeastern Gheg is considered to be the autonomous branch of Gheg Albanian[24] in turn, the Northeastern Gheg dialects themselves differ greatly among themselves.[25]
The dialect is also split in a few other minority dialects, where the phoneme [y] of standard Albanian is pronounced as [i], i.e "ylberi" to "ilberi" (both meaning rainbow); "dy" to "di" (both meaning two).[citation needed] In Northeastern Gheg, the palatal stops of standard Albanian, such as [c] (as in qen, "dog") and [ɟ] (as in gjumë, "sleep"), are realised as palato-alveolar affricates, [t͡ʃ] and [d͡ʒ] respectively.[26]
Northwestern Gheg[edit]
Northwestern Gheg, is a sub-dialect of Gheg Albanian spoken in Northwestern Albania, Southern Montenegro, and Western Kosovo. The inhabitants of the renowned region of Malësia are Northwestern Gheg speakers. The tribes that speak this dialect are the Malësor, Dukagjin and other highlander tribes which include (Malësia) : Hoti, Gruda, Triepshi, Kelmendi, Kastrati, Shkreli, Lohja, etc., (Dukagjin) : Shala, Shoshi, Shllaku, Dushmani, etc., etc..(Mirdita, Lezhë),...(see Tribes of Albania).
The main contrast between Northwestern Gheg and Northeastern Gheg is the slight difference in the tone and or pronunciation of the respective dialects. Northwestern Gheg does not have the more deeper sounding a's, e's, etc. and is considered by some to sound slightly more soft and clear in tone compared to Northeastern Gheg, yet still spoken with a rough Gheg undertone compared to the Southern Albanian dialects. Other differences include different vocabulary, and the use of words like "kon" (been), and "qysh" (how?) which are used in Northeastern Gheg, and not often used in Northwestern Gheg. Instead Northwestern Gheg speakers say "kjen or ken" (been), and use the adverb "si" to say (how?). For example in Northeastern Gheg to say "when I was young", you would say, "kur jam kon i ri", while in Northwestern Gheg you would say "kur kam ken i ri, kur jam ken i ri."
Although there is a degree of variance, Northwestern Gheg and Northeastern Gheg are still very much similar, and speakers of both sub-dialects have no problem understanding and having a conversation with one another.
Differentiations between the Northwestern Gheg dialects themselves are minuscule, unlike the Northeastern Gheg dialects where there is more differentiation.
Assimilations are common in Gheg but are not part of the Albanian literary language, which is a standardized form of Tosk Albanian.[27]
