Perlite is composed of small, lightweight bits of minerals that absorb water into their surface. It is often mixed in with potting soil to both aerate it and help increase its moisture retention. It's best to use perlite when growing plants that don't require a great deal of moisture in the soil. Though perlite helps increase soil moisture, it doesn't hang onto water the way that other components might. Creating your own soil mixture that includes perlite is a great and inexpensive way to grow plants, but perlite can also be added directly to the soil in gardens.
Obtain clay pots to plant in when using perlite. Clay pots are great at holding in moisture, and can really boost perlite's efforts.
Include perlite in potting mixes. To make a standard potting mix, combine one part each of perlite, peat moss, potting soil and compost.
Wear a facial mask that covers the mouth and nose when working with perlite. Perlite's tiny fibers can irritate the lungs.
Add perlite to garden beds to help the soil absorb water more readily. Use a garden rake to work up the top few inches of soil, then sprinkle a layer of perlite on top of the dirt. Turn the dirt with the rake.

[2015-04-27: edited to add section on discretionary access controls]
[2015-04-07: edited to add section on POSIX capabilities]
Although the original Capsicum papers are very readable, I thought it might be useful to have an accessible overview of Capsicum, together with some musing about how it compares with other Linux security technologies.
Capability-Based Security
Capsicum is a security framework that takes concepts from capability-based security, and applies those concepts in a pragmatic way to UNIX applications. This gives many of the benefits of a well-analysed security model, but allows for gradual migration and full interoperation with non-Capsicum applications – in other words, it's much easier than re-writing for a full capability-based operating system (such as seL4).
In capability-based security, any access to an object needs an unforgeable token, the capability which identifies the object in question, and defines what rights the capability holder has for that object – that is, what operations they're allowed to perform with the object.
This goes hand-in-hand with an absence of object naming schemes – there is no way to refer to an object by some parseable name ("/etc/passwd", 10.1.2.3:53, uid:root, pid:3145, …) in order to get a reference to the object.
Taken together, these attributes give capability-based systems a security model that is simple to analyze: the capabilities that a program holds completely describe what the program is capable of doing, and who it is capable of communicating with. This in turn assists the process of privilege separation for improved security – interactions between different components of a program can be analysed by examining the capabilities that are exchanged (also, those interactions are then less susceptible to confused deputy problems).
In real-world terms, applications and services that interact with untrusted and remote users are potentially vulnerable to a particularly scary style of attack – the remote code execution (RCE) attack, where the attacker subverts the application and runs their own code with full access to the entire ambient authority of the subverted application. As a result, the RCE exploit code can access any object that the application is able to access.
As with other sandboxing techniques, Capsicum's capability-based approach often de-fangs these RCE attacks: although the attacker may still be able to run arbitrary code, what that code is capable of doing is severely limited. Scanning the local system, contacting a remote C&C server, joining a DDoS botnet, snooping on other programs – all of these operations require access to some global namespace or other (e.g. names on the filesystem, IP addresses and ports, process IDs).
Object capabilities can be passed around or inherited from a parent, but are only created by taking an existing capability and subsetting its rights. This raises a difficult bootstrap question: if you can't name objects, where does an ordinary application get its capabilities from?
In a pure object-capability system, this bootstrap problem is typically addressed by having capabilities cascade down from an initial uber-capability that covers the entire system at start-of-day – but this is a radically different model from how current UNIX-based systems work. However, because Capsicum is a pragmatic hybrid of capability-based security with normal POSIX semantics, the bootstrap problem is neatly sidestepped: the application can create all of its capabilities before it shifts into capability mode.
(Of course, Capsicum still allows the normal ways that a program would acquire capabilities in a pure capability system – the capabilities could be inherited from a parent process, or could be explicitly passed to the program across a local socket – both of which are useful if the program is untrusted from its inception.)
Capsicum Capabilities
Several explanations of capabilities use the analogy of a UNIX file descriptor (FD) to describe the key concepts of capabilities in familiar terms:
- When the kernel opens a file on behalf of a userspace application, it just hands an integer token (the file descriptor) to the application; the kernel object that tracks the status of the open file is entirely internal to the kernel. The application can't get a new token without the help of the kernel, and any operations on the object (read(), write(), close(), …) have to specify the token.
- The UNIX model of "all the world's a file" also means that various sorts of kernel-managed objects use the same file descriptor mechanism for access – open files, sockets (both network and local), message queues, timers, file system notifications, etc.
- File descriptors can be passed between processes, over local sockets with sendmsg(2) / recvmsg(2). (Of course, the local sockets are also described by file descriptors – so they too are capabilities.)
- Depending on the mode in which the file was opened, the kernel only allows certain operations to be performed on the file (e.g. no write() for a file opened O_RDONLY). However, the existing UNIX restrictions are very simplistic, just read-write-execute, and positively misleading in their implementation – for example, fchmod(2) will happily change the permissions of a read-only file descriptor.
Capsicum makes this capability analogy into a reality by associating a much more fine-grained set of rights with file descriptors, and extending the kernel so that it accurately polices those rights. A normal file descriptor implicitly has all possible rights, thus preserving all existing behaviour; a new system call (cap_rights_limit()) is then used to restrict the rights associated with a file descriptor to be a subset of those it already has (i.e. rights can never be extended, only restricted). A file descriptor that has had its rights so restricted is referred to as a Capsicum capability.
If an application attempts to perform an operation on a capability file descriptor that is not allowed by its associated rights, the kernel will fail the operation with ENOTCAPABLE (which is a new Capsicum-specific errno value, which makes the process of applying Capsicum to an existing application easier).
The current Capsicum implementations define around 60 distinct rights, as previous experience has shown that permissions models become more granular as time goes on, so being more granular at the beginning helps maintainability. Commonly-used rights include:
- CAP_READ: allow operations that read the content of the object
- CAP_WRITE: allow operations that write the content of the object
- CAP_SEEK: allow operations that operate at an arbitrary offset within the object, or which explicitly alter the file offset (i.e. lseek(2))
- CAP_LOOKUP: allow operations that search within a directory
- CAP_CREATE: allow operations that create files within a directory
- CAP_FCHMOD: allow operations that change the file permissions
- CAP_FSTAT: allow operations that retrieve file metadata/status
- CAP_ACCEPT: allow accept socket operations
- CAP_BIND: allow bind socket operations
- CAP_CONNECT: allow connect socket operations
- CAP_FCNTL: allow file control (fcntl(2)) operations (but see below)
- CAP_IOCTL: allow I/O control (ioctl(2)) operations (but see below)
Because the fcntl(2) and (particularly) ioctl(2) system calls act as multiplexors whose precise arguments determine the operation to be performed, Capsicum also includes the ability to restrict these syscalls to particular operations (with cap_fcntls_limit() and cap_ioctls_limit()).
Finally, one detail to note about Capsicum capabilities is that the restricted rights apply to file descriptors, not open file objects. This means that different file descriptors can refer to the same underlying kernel object (e.g. after dup(2)) but have different rights associated with them. This is particularly useful when passing capability file descriptors between processes – a file descriptor passed across to a service can be tightly restricted before doing so, while the sender can continue to hold a more-capable FD for the same object.
Capability Mode
Of course, restricting the operations that can be performed with existing file descriptors is of little use if an attacker can just mint new file descriptors. Capsicum therefore includes capability mode, which (permanently) restricts the system calls available to the current process (and any future descendents). In particular, system calls that allow the creation of new file descriptors from scratch by referring to an object via a global namespace are banned, failing with a new ECAPMODE errno value.
This doesn't completely remove all FD-creating system calls; there are a couple of system calls that create file descriptors without using a global name, by referencing an existing file descriptor:
- The openat(int dfd, char *path, int flags) system call allows a file to be opened relative to an existing (directory) file descriptor. This syscall is allowed in capability mode (as long as the directory FD has the CAP_CREATE right), but is policed so that the path cannot be used to escape the directory – no leading / or .. components (nor symlinks likewise).
- The accept(int sockfd, …) system call allows a connected socket to be extracted from a listening socket; this syscall is allowed in capability mode (as long as the listening socket has the CAP_ACCEPT right).
In both of these cases, the newly-minted file descriptor inherits the rights of the parent file descriptor (directory file descriptor or listening socket respectively). This simplifies the implementation, both of the application using Capsicum and Capsicum itself, but has the downside that the parent FD must have all the rights that are needed for any future derived FDs.
(Tighter restrictions on rights can be achieved by having a separate process that opens/accepts things, then restricts the rights and passes the resulting capability to the main worker process – but that's obviously at a cost of much more complexity, particularly for an application that is not already compartmentalized.)
Putting It Together
The core primitives of Capsicum apply particularly well to traditional UNIX utilities that have a central core that processes input from a set of work sources, generating a combined output. For these cases, the application needs straightforward modifications so that:
- All of the input work sources and output destinations are opened before entering the main loop.
- Each input file descriptor is Capsicum-restricted to only allow read operations (CAP_READ and friends).
- The output destinations are Capsicum-restricted to allow write operations.
- Any unnecessary file descriptors are closed.
- The application enters capability mode before starting its main loop (and thus before it reads any untrusted, potentially attacker-supplied, inputs).
(An upcoming article will cover this process in excruciating detail.)
However, this isn't the only possible model for using Capsicum. More generally, if a larger application is compartmentalized into distinct security domains, those domains can then be individually sandboxed and Capsicum capabilities passed between them.
[This leads naturally on to an aspect of Capsicum that hasn't been discussed here, namely process descriptors. These are (roughly) file descriptors that can be used in place of pid_t values, allowing processes to be controlled despite the fact that capability mode disables process manipulation functions that use the global pid_t namespace. However, I'll discuss process descriptors at a later date.]
Conditions May Apply
Capsicum is not a panacea for all security problems, so in this section we cover some of the limitations of Capsicum, and how they affect real-world use.
The first limitation of Capsicum is that it can only protect those objects in a UNIX system that are associated with file descriptors, or which are nameable via a global namespace. This covers a lot of ground, but around half of the system calls on a Linux box are still enabled in capability mode, and only around half of those are file-descriptor based. In particular, Capsicum provides no protection from some kinds of resource exhaustion attacks. Subverted code can still spin the CPU(s) and allocate arbitrary amounts of virtual memory, as these resources are not associated with any kind of file-descriptor model. (This is a Capsicum-specific restriction – in a pure capability system, these kinds of resources are governed by capabilities.)
The second limitation of Capsicum quickly becomes clear when real applications are sandboxed using it – many underlying libraries, both system and third-party, rely on the use of global namespaces "under the covers". This was illustrated by the first program to be Capsicumized, tcpdump: in its normal mode of operation (without the -n option), tcpdump tries to convert IP addresses to names by performing reverse-DNS lookups. However, the library functions for DNS operations need access to all sorts of global namespaces: reading /etc/resolv.conf to find name servers, access to port 53 on those nameservers, local connections to DNS caches, and so on.
The FreeBSD implementation of Capsicum includes some efforts to mitigate this problem, notably Casper – a system daemon that applications can connect to before entering capability mode, and can then be used to provide those services (e.g. DNS, group/user enumeration, random number generation) that would otherwise need global namespace access. The FreeBSD dynamic linker has also been upgraded to allow the library path to be specified as a list of (capability) directory file descriptors, rather than path names, so dynamically linked programs can still be executed from within a Capsicum sandbox. However, there is no denying that this limitation makes the process of Capsicumizing an existing application more complicated, and there is more work to be done in this area.
Finally, the use of Capsicum does incur a small performance overhead. This is minimal for capability rights checks – a few bitmask checks – but may be higher for capability mode policing, as each syscall may require additional checking. [The FreeBSD implementation was originally measured to only show a ~10% overhead, but the current Linux implementation is likely to be slower.]
Compare and Contrast
In this section we discuss the comparison between Capsicum and a variety of other Linux security technologies, attempting to highlight the pros and cons of Capsicum compared to each. Note also that the second half of the 2010 Usenix paper on Capsicum also discusses the comparison between Capsicum and other sandboxing technologies.
However, before moving on to individual comparisons it is worth pointing out that all of these different technologies can be composed, allowing for defense in depth. Capsicum on Linux is not implemented as an LSM, so it can interoperate with LSM-based MAC frameworks; capability mode is (mostly) implemented as a seccomp-BPF filter, and such filters can be combined.
POSIX.1e Capabilities
For clarity, the first thing to note is that Linux already includes a feature named capabilities, covering entirely different functionality. These existing Linux capabilities are based on a withdrawn POSIX.1e draft, and effectively divide up the privileges of root into distinct areas of functionality, which can be enabled and disabled independently on a process-wide basis
As with Capsicum capabilities, this drives towards the principle of least authority: if a (setuid) program doesn't need root's full authority, it should drop the parts it doesn't need. However, the privileges that remain are still ambient authority for the program, potentially available for nefarious purposes should the program be compromised – and many escalations from one POSIX capability to full root authority have been observed. Also, in practice a large fraction of behaviour has ended up being controlled by the single CAP_SYS_ADMIN POSIX capability, making it almost as powerful as root's ambient authority, even without escalations.
Discretionary Access Control (DAC)
Traditional UNIX security is based around a discretionary access control (DAC) model: access to files and processes is policed according to the associated user and group IDs (and the POSIX.1e capabilities of the previous section are a more fine-grained example of this model).
Historically, this model was designed around a goal of protecting different users of the same system from each other, but a more significant problem for modern single-user systems is to protect the user against their own programs. Under a naive DAC model, a subverted program has access to everything that the user has access to – and consequently many systems use DAC in a more sophisticated way, running some (or even all, as in Android) applications under specially-created role accounts.
Capsicum is implemented as an additional layer of policing on top of the existing UNIX DAC model, rather than instead of of the DAC model. In concrete terms, this means that if a discretionary access check (such as a uid check) would prevent an operation, holding an appropriate Capsicum capability does not override the check, and the operation fails. This has the advantage that the existing security properties of the system are unaffected by Capsicum, but with the downside that the resulting mechanism is a less pure object-capability system.
Mandatory Access Control (MAC) frameworks
Linux includes the option to configure one of any number of mandatory access control (MAC) frameworks, such as SELinux, AppArmor, Smack or Tomoyo. Each of these frameworks is implemented using the kernel's Linux Security Module (LSM) hooks, which ensure that kernel code consults with the LSM at key points during kernel processing. An LSM-based MAC framework then typically consults its own configuration to decide whether the processing should continue, generate an error, or fail, based on factors like the path names being accessed, the program being run, the user/group IDs involved, and the operation to be performed.
One big advantage of MAC frameworks is that an application can be effectively sandboxed without requiring code changes in the application itself. An administrator can observe the behaviour of the application running normally (e.g. with tools like strace or lsof), and use this information to craft a MAC configuration that only allows the application's "normal" behaviours. Some MAC frameworks also include a learning mode, which helps automate the process of generating a MAC configuration for the application.
A tightly-specified MAC configuration can also achieve the de-fanging of RCE exploits, as described for Capsicum in the first section of this document. A configuration that denies all access to unexpected IP addresses, ports, files and other processes can implement roughly similar constraints to those imposed by Capsicum.
However, this separation of code and configuration can also be a problem. A policy that is not generated by the application developer may only be an approximation of the app's behaviour, covering the most common code paths. Such a policy is then brittle against the use of less common options and code paths, and is likely to drift as new versions of the application are developed (and this drift is usually in the direction of a more lenient policy rather than a stricter policy).
A deeper knowledge of the application is needed to apply Capsicum, because code changes are involved. However, the resulting changes are likely to be less brittle – partly because they are applied by someone with understanding of the code, and partly because the changes flow logically from the design of the application (what objects does the application access, and why?).
This alignment of the Capsicum sandbox with the design of the application also potentially allows for domain-specific protection, which is difficult or impossible to encode as a MAC policy. For example, a web server could use a different sub-process for different virtual domains, each with its own specific set of capabilities.
seccomp-bpf Syscall Sandboxing
Modern versions of Linux include seccomp-bpf, a secure computing framework that allows the creation of flexible sandboxes that police the specific system calls allowed for a process. The sandbox is specified as a Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) program; this program is executed on every system call, receiving inputs of the system call number and arguments, and generating a return code that indicates whether the syscall should go ahead, fail, log or terminate.
These sandboxes can be extremely flexible, as the BPF program can restrict which syscalls are allowed, and with what explicit arguments. There are some limitations, however – in particular, user memory cannot be examined, so seccomp-BPF sandboxes cannot police pathnames or the internals of structures (such as struct sockaddr or struct msghdr) that are passed as pointer arguments to a syscall.
This flexibility in BPF specification allows for sandboxes that are extremely tight, and which drastically reduce the kernel attack surface exposed to the application. However, generating such a precise filter program for an existing application is a difficult job, and results in a sandbox configuration that needs effort to keep in sync with changes to the code. The process of applying a seccomp-bpf sandbox is much easier for applications that have been designed with compartmentalization in mind, for example Chrome's separation of renderer processes from the rest of the application – but that's also the case for many other security technologies, including Capsicum and MAC frameworks.
Applying a Capsicum sandbox to an existing application is generally easier than a seccomp-BPF sandbox, because the code changes flow from an investigation of the kernel objects that the application manipulates, rather than trying to enumerate every system call that the application (and the library code that it links to) uses.
Capsicum also reduces the kernel attack surface, as capability mode disables roughly half of the system calls on Linux. However, this is more of a side effect than a primary goal: capability mode's aim is to remove the ability to globally name objects, which happens to involve about half of the syscall attack surface.
Another security-related technology available in recent versions of the Linux kernel is namespaces. Namespaces have a goal that is related to, but different from Capsicum's capability mode – where capability mode disallows access to global namespaces, Linux namespaces instead give individual processes the illusion that they are operating on a global namespace when in fact they are not.
This approach immediately has the advantage of requiring fewer code changes: existing code can continue to work under the illusion that it is able to enumerate the users on the system, or that it can access particular IP addresses and ports, while actually being contained within a tightly specified subset.
However, setting up these namespaces (potentially across six distinct categories), and the requisite mappings between in-namespace and outside identifiers, is complex, and typically involves configuration that is maintained separately from the application. Although recent developments in the world of Linux containers have helped with this, it is still an area that involves considerable effort.
[Also, as a comparatively recent feature of the kernel, and a complicated one at that, namespaces also have the disadvantage that they expose a new, and comparatively un-hardened, area of kernel attack surface. However, this situation can only improve over time.]
Control Groups
The previous section mentioned Linux containers, which are built on top of two kernel features, namespaces and control groups. Control groups allow resource limits to be applied to groups of processes; memory, CPU, I/O operations etc. Although not directly a security feature, control groups allow the effects of denial-of-service style attacks to be limited, if the cgroup configuration for a vulnerable program is specified appropriately.
As such, control groups are potentially a useful feature to combine with Capsicum, which offers little protection against resource exhaustion attacks (as discussed above).
Closing Remarks
Capsicum brings another tool to the Linux security toolbox: one rooted in the concepts of capability-based security, with the aim of being a reasonable compromise between the ease of application, the tightness of the resulting protection, and the long-term maintainability of the result.
Capsicum applies particularly well to some classes of application, where the capabilities involved align naturally with the objects that the application manipulates – notably traditional style UNIX command line applications and applications which are compartmentalized into distinct security domains.
For objects and resources that are identified by file descriptors (which for UNIX is most of them), the capability approach also brings a security model that is simple to analyze: enumerating a program's capabilities tells you what it can do and who it can talk to. For the latter, (recursively) examining the capabilities of the program's communication peers then gives an overall list of the operations that the system can perform.

Conditions that contribute to this higher risk may include limited vision and hearing, slower reaction time and reduced walking speed. Walking is a great way to improve physical fitness, health and general well-being, but stay safe by following these tips.
If your normal walking speed is slow
If your hearing is poor
If you are unsteady on your feet

NASA's robotic Project Morpheus aims for the Moon
As budgets for space exploration grow ever-tighter, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has high hopes for a robotic space vehicle that will be much cheaper than its predecessors, not to mention more environmentally friendly.
Project Morpheus is constructing a lunar landing craft that uses an innovative fuel which combines liquid oxygen with methane, rather than the far more dangerous liquid hydrogen used in the past. The craft underwent a successful test firing of the latest version of its engine earlier this week.
As described by one blog which has been rooting for the project, "The spacecraft is designed from the ground up to be totally integrated and autonomous, with the capability of transporting 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds) to the lunar surface. It'll have on-board guidance and control systems, and should be able to make more or less the entire trip autonomously, including the final lunar descent and landing."
This video of the test firing was uploaded to YouTube by MorpheusLander on February 28, 2012 and is featured on the project's Facebook page.
This video, which uses some of the same footage but also includes more information on the project, is from Reuters, March 4, 2012.

Showtime at the LA Auto show
Nov. 21 - The auto industry, looking to capitalize on its recovery, is offering up more than 50 new models at the Los Angeles Auto show. Bobbi Rebell reports.
Consumer spending on new autos is expected to hit a record level for the month of November - according to just released data from J.D. Power- with new vehicle auto retail sales at over a million units. So the competition for the spotlight was fierce at the LA auto show- as the world's top automakers pushed to get their latest models and concept cars into the spotlight. Over 50 new models and close to 2 dozen concept cars made their debut. Among them: Jaguar's F-Type Coupe- a hard top version of its roadster with the same name- part of a re-focus on the sports car market. Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum: SOUNDBITE: IAN CALLUM DESIGN DIRECTOR FOR JAGUAR, (ENGLISH) SAYING: "It changed Jaguar quite a bit. Actually, it was all part of the plan. We wanted to change Jaguar. The thing is from my point of view is that it brings us back to where we belong. It's not about reinventing the company, it's about bringing us back. Jaguar is always known for being a sports car company and the E-Type was the center of that." Crossovers were also big. Porsche unveiled its fifth model, the Macam. Ford showed off its Edge concept car. Ford's VP Raj Nair: SOUNDBITE: RAJ NAIR, FORD MOTOR CO., GROUP VICE-PRESIDENT GLOBAL PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, (ENGLISH) SAYING: "It is a concept car that definitely hints at where we are going to take the next generation and I think it has a lot of design cues that work well on the current 'Edge.' As well as introducing our new DNA modern design language into the vehicle. We want our vehicles to be unmistakably Ford." General Motors was promoting their new version of a smaller truck- the Chevy Colorado. GM betting the new Colorado will be far more successful than its last appearance when U.S. sales peaked in 2005. Mark Reuss, General Motors, President, North America: SOUNDBITE: MARK REUSS, GENERAL MOTORS, PRESIDENT NORTH AMERICA, (ENGLISH) SAYING: "This is a white space for us. There is some risk, I love it because there is some risk. Because, I think there is some great reward and there is no one else that is going to copy us immediately. BMW's electric cars were also generating a lot of attention. The luxury carmaker announced that it has orders for nearly 10,000 of its i3 electric cars, the first of which were delivered in Germany last week. BMW also said that its i8 plug-in hybrid sports car due to be introduced in mid-2014 has sold out for its first year of availability. SOUNDBITE: PAUL FERRAIOLO, HEAD OF BMW, NORTH AMERICA PRODUCT PLANNING AND STRATEGY, SAYING: "To people these look like concept cars, these look like show cars from 10-years from now. They are not, the i3 and the i8 are production cars with a design and technology that a lot of people think is off in the future. But it is not, it is ready now." The LA auto show runs through December 1st.

Suicidal Ideation Common among Surgeons: Why?
(CBS/AP) Shows like "House" make the operating room seem glamorous, but a new study suggests surgeons are a miserable lot. The long hours and extraordinary pressure seem to lead to depression.
Job burnout, medical errors, and possibly the fear of making an error can lead surgeons to contemplate suicide at higher rates than the general public, the study suggests.
Surgeons are also less likely to seek help, apparently because they fear losing their jobs. Nearly 8,000 surgeons participated in the study, published in the January issue of "Archives of Surgery."
Close to 6 percent reported recent suicidal thoughts, but the rate shot up to 16 percent among those who'd made a recent major medical error. By contrast, only about 3 percent of the general population has suicidal thoughts.
About 25 percent of surgeons with suicidal thoughts said they'd sought professional mental health treatment. Among the general population, 44 percent of those with suicidal thoughts reported seeking treatment.
"Surgeons reported a great deal of concern about potential repercussions for their license to practice medicine," and many admitted self-medicating with antidepressant drugs, said lead author Dr. Tait Shanafelt of the Mayo Clinic.
Surgeons were asked whether they'd had suicidal thoughts within the past year. They weren't asked about suicide attempts, but the authors said up to 50 percent of people who think about suicide make an attempt.
Overall, surgeons in the study worked 60 hours per week on average. Forty percent felt burned out, and 30 percent had symptoms of depression.
Most said their work left little time for personal and family life, yet few who worked less than 40 hours a week had suicidal thoughts.
"Surgeons also exist in a culture that, like it or not, honors self-denial, prizes impervious resilience, and tends to interpret imperfection as failure," wrote Dr. Kelly L. McCoy and Dr. Sally E. Carty in an editorial published along with the study editorial published with the study. Both are surgeons at the University of Pittsburgh's medical school.
If I were having surgery, I'd prefer my surgeon well-rested and in a good mood before she or he picks up the scalpel, wouldn't you?

On January 8, 2018, the Boyuan Construction Project Manager Symposium was held in the Boyuan Hall on the fifth floor of Kingford Plaza in Jiaixng. More than 50 people including Shou Cailiang, the president of Boyuan, and managers from all project departments, and Hainan company representatives attended the forum.
At the meeting, Tang Wei, executive vice president of Boyaun , first reported on the company's business operations. He said, last year, the company seized market opportunities and established partnerships with developers such as China Railways, China Communications, and China Resources to create a new market in Jiaxing. He combined the work experience of tendering and bidding and analyzed the market situation. He encouraged the project departments to improve the management ability and service awareness, and continue to maintain the brand and reputation of Boyuan.
Qian Feng, Vice President of Production, briefed the main work of the Engineering Department and the Technology Center over the past year. He carefully analyzed the existing problems in project management and proposed improvements. Facing the new situation in the development of science and technology in the construction industry, he asked the project manager to think about how to apply scientific and technological means to increase efficiency and take the initiative in the market.
President Shou Cailiang made a concluding speech. He pointed out that in the past year, the brand influence of Boyuan has been further improved, and all work has been affirmed by all walks of life. These achievements have benefited from the hard work of all staffs in the past year.

Hornton soldiers who served and died in World War One will be commemorated 100 years after the war ended, with a new memorial created from a stone unearthed in the village where they lived.
The owners of a building site in the village have donated a huge piece of Hornton ironstone, with its characteristic brown-orange colour, that was dug out of the village's valley side, along with 500 tonnes of earth, to make way for two new houses.
The slab of stone will be remodelled by masons at Building Stone at Hornton Grounds Quarry, near Wroxton, who are donating their time and skills for free.
The plan is that the memorial will sit on the village green to commemorate the ten local men who died at the WWI Front, and the many other men and women who served and suffered.
Hornton History Group chair, Kevin Wain, said: "We ran a well-attended village exhibition and event to mark the centenary of the start of the war.
"This is a way to recall the end of the war and to commemorate those who died and the affected families.
He added: "It's appropriate that, a century later, we'll be able to recall them in this way, especially as many of them, and their families, actually worked locally as quarry labourers."
Hornton Parish Council will this summer be invited to sign off final plans for the siting of the stone.
There will be a dedication ceremony to unveil the new memorial in November 2018.
Building site co-owner, Stuart Viggers, of North Oxfordshire's Charles Joseph Homes, said: "It's perfect that this small piece of the village should be preserved and re-used in this way.
"One of the soldiers who died was William Cawley and his family used to live in one of the former cottages on this site, so the historical connection couldn't be better. We';re really pleased to have played our part."
Mr Cawley will be one of ten men recognised on a plaque of blue Hornton stone which will be indented into the larger stone above.
Mr Cawley died on August 13 1916 in the battle of the Somme possibly while trying to transport supplies to the front line with a horse and cart. He was 36 years old
He was a private with the The Royal Warwickshire Regiment, and a bachelor who lived on Millers Lane with his widowed father.
Descendants of Mr Cawley are thought to be members of the Hemmings and Horsley families which still live in the village today.
The other nine men who gave their lives during the war effort are William Bacchus, Horace Denton, Emanuel Freeman, Clarence Gilkes, William Prickett, Thomas Richards, John Robbins, James Turner and John Wells.

A manufactured street code for continued white supremacy. As used in common speech, could also be phrased, "keeping it submissive" or "keeping politically, socially, and economically irrelevant." African-Americans (especially men) who have evolved into greatness through traditional paths are invalidated as they have not "kept it real." The term's definition relegates and caps many potential great African Americans through peer-pressure, advertising, greater social misunderstanding, and ambiguous racial identity.The phrase is harmful in that it not only damages the collective psyche of a large portion of the American populace, it also limits (in all facets) the unlimited potential that this group could have upon the country. "Thurgood Marshall, Barack Obama, Bill Cosby, Oprah Winfrey, Morgan Freeman, Booker T. Washington, (Sports Analyst) James Brown, and Condoleeza Rice are not keeping it real." "50 Cent and Michael Vick are keeping it real."
A black person's excuse for being ignorant or doing ignorant [things]. The person who says that they are "keepin' it real" usually claims to be denying pop culture and sticking with their own thing.Where in the world did this ridiculous and self-defeating idea come from? Keeping it real is purposefully living up to a stereotype about Black people that is usually harmful to you but makes you fit in with stereotypical Black people. If you were obese and lost weight, if you grew up poor and are now successful, if you were deathly ill and are now healthy, if you were an addict and now sober, if you were unattractive and are now beautiful what is the utility of living as though your life did not improve? Many of our ancestors were slaves but now we are free. Many of our ancestors were barred from education but now education is available. Remember the bad place you came from ONLY to make sure you never go back to that place!
In order to not go back to that bad place you will probably have to eliminate any people or situations that could drag you back down. If you have friends that push unhealthy foods on you then you need to avoid situations where they have food or find new friends. If you don't want to be in another abusive relationship then you need to stay away from men with those tendancies and women who normalize the abuse. If you were poor then you need to avoid people who threaten your wealth such as moochers, people who want you to save them, and people who insist you waste your money on extravagant things. If you have improved your looks you have to avoid people who pressure you to ignore your looks. If you want to achieve any of these successful and beneficial states then the first step may be to eliminate these influences from your life immediately! Beware of people who propose that being Black and keeping it real means doing the opposite of what respected, productive, law abiding, "average" people do!
Not keeping it real for Black women means not dating men who expect you to financially support them or men who do not respect your education or success. These men could pass down those same attitudes to your children and they may never become successful themselves. These men may never be in a position to help you the way you have helped them so this could land you both in financial ruin. Women of other ethnicities do not bother with men who are poor and unsuccessful (if they are smart) but people in the Black community will convince you that's your job to suffer and that's just keeping it real! Other women don't carry or raise their men so why should you? Stop 'othering' yourself by being so different from women who are not Black.
Not keeping it real means staying away from magazines, films, television shows, and studies that encourage embracing obesity (e.g., study saying overweight Black women have higher self-esteem than other women, depictions of "mammy types" etc.). Being obese is a health problem and any attempt to applaud the willful sabatoging of one's health is malicious! Allowing yourself to become obese or unhealthy increases your chances for heart disease or diabetes. This article clearly describes this. People in the Black community will try to convince you that Black women are genetically predisposed to carry more fat and we should embrace it. They will also try to convince you that you will fail if you try to lose weight because your body wants to be fat. Ask them this, if an obese Black woman was locked up and only given 1000 calories of food per day would she not lose weight? She would lose weight. It's calories in calories out plain and simple and the problem is that there is too much food and too many unhealthy options available to sedentary people. Stop 'othering' yourself by accepting unhealthy high weight norms (available on medical weight charts and recommended by doctors) when compared to women who are not Black.
Not keeping it real also means avoiding media and research that encourages or applauds Black women for being more independent (e.g., feminist arguments that we don't need men or marriage), stronger, or aggressive (e.g., article saying Black women are allowed to be more aggressive in the workplace) than other women. We must also avoid messages and people who encourage us to be masculine and less feminine than other women. For example people who accuse us of "acting White" if we have good manners and wear very feminine clothing. Educated women need to avoid people who accuse them of "acting White" because they speak well, go to school, read books, and refuse to use urban slang. Don't act uneducated when you are! Stop 'othering' yourself by acting like the opposite of the feminine norm accepted by non-Black people. You may not look like other women but you can still behave the way they do.
We are no longer slaves! Remember the determination and hardships your ancestors overcame but living as though you were just freed from slavery will only make you angry, suspicious, and disengaged from society. Acting as though you are a victim will actually keep you oppressed! I wrote about this in my post about victim mentality. The reality of life is that friendships end or fade and if a friend's behaviour is threatening to your progress as an individual then you may have to leave them behind. People outgrow their friends and if you do that does not make you a bad person. Friends should add to your life and not sabotage it. Entertainment should add pleasure to your life not brainwash you into ruining your progress. Treat everyone from respect because you were once in their place but you do not owe it to ANYONE to risk going back to that place.
It's time to stop looking only to Black people for role models and advice. Look for good advice and role models wherever you can find them based on what will be BENEFICIAL TO YOU not based on race. Health is health, good relationships are good relationships, femininity is femininity, intelligence is intelligence, and success is success no matter the race. Look to experts on health, success, relationships, femininity, education and every other important thing in your life regardless of race because these people are likely to know what they are talking about and can help you to achieve your goals better than someone who has no positive experiences with any of those things. It's time to broaden our minds and use the resources that are available to us no matter who they come from.

Actually, he calls them "promise zones," but Purchase Zones is more accurate. Obama is purchasing support. This is reminiscent of the plan to throw money at Democrat mayors.
President Barack Obama is set to speak on Thursday about how he will target job creation, housing, law enforcement, and education in the poorest U.S. communities, part of his pledge to narrow the gap between rich and poor in America.
Obama signaled last month that he plans a new focus this year on income inequality, which he called "the defining challenge of our time", pushing to raise the minimum wage and find new ways to help poor children break out of the cycle of poverty.
As part of this effort, Obama will create "promise zones" in San Antonio, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, southeastern Kentucky, and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, the White House said on Wednesday.
The announcement came on the 50th anniversary of a pledge by former President Lyndon Johnson to wage a "war on poverty" which led to government programs like Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, and Head Start preschool education programs.
What about East St Louis, Illinois? Or some of the neighborhoods in the poorer areas of St. Louis?
President Obama acts as if the fact that the Federal government has the power and the resources to flood a few areas with money proves the government can reduce "income inequality."
But no one doubts that, if Obama has control of the resources of the Federal Government, he can shovel money at certain places and people.
What does that have to do with fixing the U.S. Economy?
The economic problems that create "income inequality" are not fixed by the government flooding a few places with money. Money transfers just relieve some of the economic pain for those people (assuming the money actually goes to those who are hurting and not local political bosses).
And why should people in East Saint Louis be denied special treatment by the government? What makes poor people living in Los Angeles more important than them?
This way of "addressing the problem" only accentuates it.
Perhaps many liberals don't care about actually solving any of the problems as long as they get free money. Perhaps all the ones left out of the Purchase Zones will assume that sooner or later their time will come.
But the fact remains that nothing Obama is doing can be turned into a program for fixing the problems he claims to be concerned about. All he is doing is selecting a few areas in which to purchase the people's loyalty and love.
These Purchase Zones hold no promise for lifting up most of lower- or middle-class America.

Latest News
All is not lost in Pantherland; it's a matter of perspective
What many see as a lost season for the Carolina Panthers is, in fact, a matter of perspective. Some people look for the negative. Others look for what we'll call a whiter shade of pale.
Change your perspective and here's what you'll see:
If you go to home games, you rarely have to stay more than three quarters.
There aren't nearly as many ticket scalpers hanging around the stadium.
Wearing your Jake Delhomme jersey doesn't feel so awkward anymore.
You can get in the holiday spirit early by giving your tickets to the Arizona game to friends and calling it a present.
Punting can be fun to watch.
The flag guys don't run across the field nearly as often as in other seasons.
The networks are ignoring the Panthers so it's not like the whole country is seeing what's happening.
And, anything can happen in Week 10:
CAROLINA at TAMPA BAY: The only way John Fox's season could get worse is if he were elected to the school board.
Bucs 27, Panthers 10.
DETROIT at BUFFALO: The Bills are winless but if they played the Panthers on a neutral field, they would be favored. After several near-misses, the Bills win one for Marv Levy and their other fan.
Bills 23, Lions 20.
CINCINNATI at INDIANAPOLIS: Just like holiday decorations start popping up this time of year, so does a familiar question: How long can Marvin Lewis hang on as the Bengals' coach given their chronic underachieving?
Colts 41, Bengals 17.
NEW YORK JETS at CLEVELAND: Break up the Browns. Cleveland 27, Jets 24.
HOUSTON at JACKSONVILLE: The Jags are a little better than expected. The Texans aren't as good as expected. That's the kind of in-depth evaluation you get here.
Jags 34, Texans 24.
MINNESOTA at CHICAGO: Of the Bears' five wins, four have come against Detroit, Dallas, Carolina and Buffalo. OK, so the Bears beat Green Bay, too. The record says 5-3 but it feels like fool's gold.
Vikings 29, Bears 18.
TENNESSEE at MIAMI: The Randy Moss era begins in Jeff Fisher's kingdom. They could find an easier place to start. Dolphins 24, Titans 17.
KANSAS CITY at DENVER: The Broncos give a demonstration in how to turn a four-game losing streak into a five-game losing streak.
Chiefs 30, Broncos 20.
ST. LOUIS at SAN FRANCISCO: The Rams' Sam Bradford is what the 49ers hoped Alex Smith was going to be all those years ago. Rams 31, 49ers 21.
DALLAS at NEW YORK GIANTS: Here's an easy one: Which of these NFL coaches had the highest career winning percentage?
A: Chuck Noll
B. Jimmy Johnson
C. Bill Parcells
D. Wade Phillips.
You guessed it, the most recent former Cowboys coach, whose career .573 percentage is better than the three Hall of Famers listed with him. Then again, Jason Garrett, the new Cowboys' coach, is unbeaten.
Until now. Giants 34, Cowboys 14.
SEATTLE at ARIZONA: It's the NFC West. Does it really matter? Cardinals 32, Seahawks 28.
NEW ENGLAND at PITTSBURGH: It's like watching games in a different league than the one the Panthers are playing in these days.
Patriots 28, Steelers 24.
PHILADELPHIA at WASHINGTON: After being benched in the final two minutes of the Skins' last game, Donovan McNabb is back as the team's starter this week.
Apparently coach Mike Shanahan decided McNabb can run the two-minute offense - the first two minutes - after which all bets are off.
Eagles 24, Redskins 20.
Last week: 11-2
Season: 66-48

Port Augusta expat shines in NT women's football
Make sure you remember the name Jasmyn Hewett, because chances are you're going to hear it quite often in the future.
Since moving to Darwin in May 2016 with partner and former West Augusta Captain Richy Hobbs, the 23-year-old Port Augusta expat is dominating the Northern Territory's Women's Premier League (NTWPL) 2016/17 season as a ruck/utility for St Mary's Football Club.
Apart from a kick with dad in the front yard of her Stirling North family home, Hewett had never played football before, but you wouldn't know it.
She kicked 36 goals this season, including six in her first game, and was awarded the NTWPL Rising Star Award on March 12.
Hewett also finished second in the NTWPL Most Valuable Player award, was the highest goal kicker for St Mary's and in early March signed with Adelaide Crows Women's team as a rookie.
She loves playing football because the intensity around the contest is 'insane'.
"In my first year I thought I'd have no idea what I'm doing but I just thought I'd give it a crack," Hewett said.
"Being surrounded by girls so passionate about a 'typically deemed men's game' makes me feel like I am part of something new and powerful."Jasmyn Hewett
"I've always been around it … football was always an option growing up but not to the extent it was here.
"I knew that I was going to play football the minute I moved up here because I knew that it was available to do so I was ready for that before the season started."
Hewett earned the nickname 'Bones' after telling teammates she has broken nine different bones in her body.
She said the team game of football is akin to being part of a second family because she has 'girls who are willing to get hurt for one another'.
But that intensity has helped improve her kicking and handball skills, which Hewett said she found to be the most difficult part of the game.
Due to the NTWPL starting in October, Hewett missed out being drafted by an AFL Women's team, but said her goal is to play for the Adelaide Crows Women's team.
She already trains with the team, and said it's inspiring to work with the likes of Co-Captains Erin Phillips and Chelsea Randall.
"Their skills are insane and it's something I want to emulate," Hewett said.
"Being surrounded by girls so passionate about a 'typically deemed men's game' makes me feel like I am part of something new and powerful.
"I'd tell girls to go for it and give it a go!"

The mission of the College Ready Mathematics and Physics Partnership, a 7M dollar NSF MSP program lead by the University of Arkansas, is to enhance mathematics and physics learning for all students in its partner districts and teacher-preparation programs in partner institutions, closing achievement gaps, and preparing students for success in mathematics, science, and teaching careers. This will be achieved by building learning communities of 7-12 teachers and college faculty that foster and nurture smooth access to, productive disposition toward, and preparation for success in college.
Effects of Teacher Professional Development on Gains in Student Achievement
published by
the Council of Chief State School Officers
The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) was awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct a meta analysis study with the goal of providing state and local education leaders with scientifically-based evidence regarding the effects of teacher professional development on improving student learning. The analysis focused on completed studies of effects of professional development for K-12 teachers of science and mathematics. The meta analysis results show important cross-study evidence that teacher professional development in mathematics does have significant positive effects on student achievement. The analysis results also confirm the positive relationship to student outcomes of key characteristics of design of professional development programs.
TIR'S and Teacher Preparation: The What, When, Why and How!
written by
David Buck-Moyer and
Nancy Stauch
The need to recruit, train, and retain well-prepared science teachers has never been higher. This presentation explores how a Teacher in Residence (TIR) program can enhance and improve a teacher education program. TIR's are experienced local science teachers, brought on to a university campus to address teacher preparation. The presentation covers the roles TIRs can play in; methods courses, supervision of student teachers, liaison with the college of education and local schools, formation and guidance of a teacher advisory group, and the development of innovative courses to draw in new science teachers. Finally the presentation examines how a program like this can work at particular schools and how programs can be sustained at the university level.

Cancer in Dogs
Catch canine cancer early. Cancer not only affects man, it also affects his best friend.
More and more dogs are living longer lives. It used to be that dogs were not vaccinated and died of illness. Or they were run over by cars because they predominantly lived outside. However, with vaccinations and more dogs living indoors, the lifespan of the typical American dog has greatly increased over time—by a couple of years on average, and much more for some breeds. With this increase in life, however, comes a different issue: cancer. According to PetMD.com, over fifty percent of dogs over the age of 10 develop cancer.
Cancer in dogs is similar in many ways to cancer in humans. Dogs can develop tumors such as lymphomas (malignant tumors that can occur anywhere on a dog's body), mast cell tumors (tumors commonly found in skin cancer) or mammary gland tumors, which are the tumors found in breast cancer. Bone cancer is also common in dogs.
If you suspect cancer in your dog, how do you know when to take him to the vet? Swollen lymph nodes are usually the first sign of illness. You can find lymph nodes on your dog underneath the jaw or around the shoulder. Another once of cancer symptoms in dogs, and probably the most obvious, will be tumors, or lumps, on their skin. Other signs include wounds that won't heal, abnormal bleeding and any kind of swelling. Some cancers can be tricky to detect and may not have trademark symptoms. So any time your pet seems to be feeling unwell, it is time to see the vet.
Cancer treatment in dogs is also very similar to that of humans. The removal of tumors with surgery is a popular option. Chemotherapy with anti-cancer medicines is becoming a more popular treatment plan, and radiation therapy (using X-rays, for example) is available in about 40 locations across America. The specialty of veterinary oncology, or animal cancer care, has progressed so much that there are special facilities and veterinarians who devote their full attention to diagnosis and treatment of animals with cancer.
For cancer and many other health concerns with your pet, an important question to always keep in mind is what genetic disorders your pet's breed carries. Some cancers can affect almost any breed, but some breeds are more likely than others to develop cancer. For example, Golden Retrievers, Boxers and Bernese Mountain dogs all have a strong history of cancer within their breeds.
Ask your vet if your pet's breed is prone to a specific type of cancer and any other illnesses. With that information, you can be on the lookout for symptoms—to catch cancer as early as possible, when treatment can be most effective.
Share this article with all your friends that have dogs in their family!

Rainbow set for 'saucy' revival
Characters from the classic 70s childrens' show Rainbow could be revived as late night chat-show hosts.
Fremantle, the production arm of RTL, is developing a programme aimed at adult audiences, which will feature puppets Zippy, Bungle and George.
The trio, together with Rainbow host Geoffrey Hayes, have a cult following among adults and are especially popular on the college circuit.
The channel on which it would go out has not been confirmed but the show is expected to play upon Rainbow's reputation for innuendo and camp humour.
"Puppets can say things a real person would never dare say," said Alan Boyd, president of worldwide entertainment at Fremantle.
"We would revive Rainbow as a straight kids' programme or we could take the retro element and keep it naughty for a late-night chat show."
Rainbow, which ran from 1972-1992, celebrates its 30th birthday next Wednesday.
It was one of the most popular children's shows of the 70s but has recently undergone a revival, with a comedy nostalgia act, The Rainbow Disco Roadshow, and Zippy starring in an ad campaign for Marmite.
Hayes also made a recent appearance at the Edinburgh Festival, presenting the one-man show Over The Rainbow.
The stage show, set in 1992, featured Hayes reminiscing about the Rainbow family and how he discovered that the show had been dropped by Thames Television.
It hit the headlines when puppets used in the original TV show that were to be used in the stage show were stolen from the back of a car in Berkshire.
They were returned anonymously a few days later.
Rainbow's forthcoming anniversary will be celebrated with the release of a new DVD featuring highlights from the show, and a book, Rainbow Climbing High.
A Christmas novelty single is also being planned.

2030 District initiative coming to San Antonio
Architecture 2030 challenges the global architecture and building community to implement strategies to reduce energy and water consumption and vehicle emissions by 50 percent by 2030.
Becoming a 2030 District offers San Antonio an ideal model for monitoring emissions and inspiring our community to meet sustainability targets identified by Architecture 2030.
The first 2030 District was created in Seattle. Architects were inspired to tap into the potential to decrease energy consumption of existing buildings. Since 2011, the buildings within Seattle's 2030 District have reduced energy use by 21 percent, water use by 7 percent and transportation carbon emissions by 22 percent.
Over the past few months, a group of local architects, activists and properties owners have formed an exploratory committee for a proposed 2030 District for San Antonio. Ours will be the first with a linear boundary, which will follow the San Antonio River through downtown, stretching from Brackenridge Park in the north to Roosevelt Avenue in the south, and will cover most of downtown between I-10 and I-35.
Within this boundary, owners of large downtown office and hotel buildings, Pearl, UTSA's downtown campus and more than 5 million square feet of city-owned properties will demonstrate their commitment to the district by cutting energy use.
District members are encouraged to share their utility bills and strategies for improved building performance. As building owners begin to see improvement in their energy performance and a decrease in their utility bills, more buildings in the district will be inspired to join.
Five building owners and property managers have signed on to participate in San Antonio's 2030 District. They include Zurich International Properties, Lake|Flato Architects, the Brooklynite, San Antonio River Authority and AREA Real Estate, and San Antonio is set to become the sixth official 2030 District in the nation.
The formation of a 2030 District is a landmark opportunity for our city to take the national stage for its leadership in sustainability. Our approach will demonstrate the city's culture of collaboration. Join us as we embark on a new environmental journey that promises a more sustainable future for the city.
Heather Gayle Holdridge, an architect with Lake|Flato Architects, is a member of AIA San Antonio's Committee on the Environment. Information about 2030 District events will be on the AIA San Antonio Facebook page.

RI's home to country line dancing
By: Alexandra Cowley
Most people don't believe a country line dancing place exists in Rhode Island. It's just not something you'd expect in the Ocean State. But, we discovered the Mishnock Barn in West Greenwich. Once you're inside, you forget where you are, and just dance.
The dancing might look easy, but trust me, it takes a little practice before you really get the steps and confidence to stomp it out on the main stage. And you don't have to worry about messing up at the Mishnock Barn. I did plenty of times, and nobody noticed. Because everyone who comes to the barn is looking to learn and have a good time.
The man behind the mic and the moves, Dan Albro, and the woman who stole his heart 30 years ago, Kelly, are the dancing duo that run the wildly successful business.
Dan explained, "It's unbelievable, it's an unbelievable feeling. We're definitely blessed to have this opportunity."
Music is the family business for the Albro's. They have five sons who all help out at the barn. The line dancing spot has been has been Rhode Island's best kept secret for decades. Dan is the third generation in the family to run the place. They've been line dancing in the barn since 1992.
If you want to learn the dances, you come during the week. We were there on a Tuesday Night and there was no shortage of boots and buckles.
Mary Perry has been dancing at the barn for years and says, "there's no place that I know of in Rhode Island like this and best part is the people and the family that owns the place.The Albro's are the best people you want to know."
Mark and Deb Andstrom met at the barn 20 years ago.
Deb said, "One day I asked him if he wanted to dance, and he said yes and we've been dancing together ever since."
The Albro's have expanded their lessons Worldwide. Tutorial videos they post on YouTube, have grabbed the attention of festivals in Mexico and France.
"There's more cowboy hats and boots and buckles than there are in America, believe me they love it," laughed Dan.
But they tell me, there's nothing like coming back home to The Mishnock Barn.
"Being able to travel is great, but having genuine friends and we keep meeting more and more that's the best part," explained Dan.
Kelly said, "I think the hugs every night that we come in, yes that's part of our pay the hugs."
10 dollars at the door buys you a night full of dancing and laughing. For more information click here: http://www.mishnockbarn.com/

₪60.00 Décathlon
Bought this for my daughter, and they are excellent.
Great price and they fit perfectly.
Couldn't be more disappointed with these kids' sunglasses - one lens scratched already after one morning's light use by my careful, diligent daughter. As these are kids' glasses, would have expected them to be much more robust and scratch resistant. We decided to go for these over the cheaper pairs at £7.99 or so. Shouldn't have bothered! Money wasted. Am usually very happy indeed with my purchases from Decathlon but am so disappointed with this one.
My son loves it

Here are Cycle Evesham Vale's (CEV) top ten tips to make sure you stay safe and have fun. Don't forget to take a drink too.
1. Be seen and be safe
You don't need to get kitted out with full lycra, just wear some bright clothing or a Hi-Vis gilet.
2. Ride one metre from the kerb
Bikeability research has proven that other vehicles give you more space in this position than if you are riding in the gutter, and there are fewer drains, potholes and rubbish to contend with.
3. Communicate with other road users
Cyclists can say so much by their position on the road, making eye contact, the lifesaver look over the shoulder, and clear hand signals. All can help drivers to understand and anticipate cyclists' intentions.
4. Make good decisions
Make sure you understand who has priority at junctions and around hazards, and make your decisions clear to other road users.
5. Say thank you
The vast majority of other road users are highly respectful of cyclists. Give a thank-you wave if they have had to wait behind to overtake, and when they give you a nice wide berth when passing. We also recommend raising your arm when a lorry has passed you to signal that it's safe to pull back in, similar to flashing headlights on the motorway.
6. Use the right gear
Most modern bikes have plenty of gears, so hills needn't be too much of an obstacle. Change to a lower gear before the hill gets steep, and keep the legs spinning.
7. Choose a quiet route
While most roads around the Vale can be cycled in safety, it's much more enjoyable to explore the quiet lanes and back roads. Have a look at the map, and pick a route to explore our hidden gems.
8. Share the space
Whether using cycle paths or roads, respect the rights of pedestrians, vehicles and other users.
9. Check your bike
Use the simple ABC check: air, brakes and chain. If you haven't used it for a while, get a cyclist friend or cycle shop to help you with a more thorough check.
10. Look ahead
As when driving a car, anticipating hazards and adjusting to road and traffic conditions can help to keep you and others safe.
If these tips inspire you to get on your bike, but you need a bit of help in applying them, CEV can help. Whether you are a novice or a returning cyclist, we offer cycle training to individuals, families and groups. We aim to bring back the joy of cycling, and help you to feel safe when riding around the town and our beautiful Vale. With support from Wychavon District Council we provide three training sessions for just £10, which includes a complementary HiViz gilet. For more information and to book your cycle training, please text Robin Walker on 07974 919175 or email [email protected]

Advert for Thomas Bennett & Sons, manufacturers of gold & silver leaf
Printer: Unknown
Medium: Print on paper
Date: 1885
Gold leaf is a decorative art in which small amounts of gold are beaten into an extremely thin sheet, manipulated into different shapes, and then applied to another surface. It was first used by the Egyptians 7,000 years ago but it became popular again in the gaudy climes of 19th century fashion.
Middle-class Victorians viewed their possessions as an expression of wealth and social status. Having expensive objects, art and jewellery demonstrated affluence and prosperity. Jewellers were able to apply gold leaf to many items to make them seem more valuable than they really were. Silver leaf used the same principles, but was cheaper and less desirable.

Frederick James Brown (1945-2012) was a New York City and Arizona-based American artist. Drawing from his African-American and Native American ancestry, and breadth of knowledge in art historical tradition, Brown's work engages with American history and music, the urban fabric, religion, and spirituality.
Born in Georgia and raised in Chicago's South Side, Brown settled in a loft in Soho during the New York Art Renaissance of the 1970s and 1980s. There, he collaborated with jazz musicians like Ornette Coleman and Anthony Braxton, and abstract expressionist painter Willem De Kooning among others. The 2002 documentary film 120 Wooster Street depicts Frederick Brown's loft studio, which grew to be a central gathering place for artists, musicians, writers, dancers and performance artists. Eventually, Brown settled in Arizona, and continued to paint in New York and Scottsdale.
Brown's work is in public and private art collections throughout the world, including the Smithsonian's National Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New Orleans Museum of Art and the American Jazz Museum. Brown's one-man exhibitions include the Studio Museum of Harlem, Marlborough Gallery and a twenty-year retrospective held at the National Museum of China in Beijing in 1988, one of the first solo exhibitions by a western artist in China.
Major art projects include his 1983 version of The Last Supper; The Assumption of Mary, a three-story tall mural painted in 1992 at Xavier University in New Orleans; The History of Art, a group of 110 interlocking paintings at Café Sebastienne in the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art created in the 1990s; and his extensive series of over 350 portraits of jazz and blues musicians.

DeCock: A new day for the ACC tournament
Playing in the first ACC tournament game of his career, Coron Williams had a lot in common with everyone else at the Greensboro Coliseum on Wednesday. He didn't know quite what to expect and no one else did, either.
The supplemented and expanded ACC tournament now stretches over five days, necessitating a midweek start. Wednesday required some adjustment from just about everyone, not just Williams.
The Wake Forest guard, a graduate transfer from Robert Morris, has played in Northeast Conference tournaments, but it was his first taste of an ACC tournament.
"The atmosphere, it's a lot different," Williams said. "It's lot of people. Usually, in an NEC game, there's not this many fans. I would say definitely the atmosphere is different, a much different vibe."
Williams wouldn't know any better, but he's right. It was a much different vibe. There was something jarring about the stage set up behind one basket, awaiting a Scotty McCreery concert between the day's second and third games, not to mention the curtain blocking out most of the upper-deck seats.
The Black Curtain of Doom was notably associated with the grim nights when the vagabond Carolina Hurricanes played before crowds of teeming hundreds while awaiting their forever home in Raleigh. It has not to date had anything to do with the ACC tournament, at least the men's version.
And yet fans filled most of the available seats, making for a better atmosphere than some Thursdays in recent years. Some wore the colors of schools that won't make an appearance here until Friday, all sharing a common sentiment: It's Wednesday, so what the heck am I doing at the ACC tournament already?
Such are the consequences of expansion. With each batch of teams that join the league, it takes a little while longer to whittle down the tournament field, and the opening days of the tournament get a bit odder, a little more detached.
It isn't the first time the ACC tournament has taken place on a Wednesday – in 1978, the first two rounds of the tournament were held Wednesday and Thursday, with the two finalists taking Friday off before playing Saturday – but it is the first time the tournament has lasted five days, a marathon by anyone's standards.
For many recent years, at least since Florida State came aboard, the tournament kicked off with the eighth and ninth seeds playing a lone game on Thursday night, the so-called Les Robinson Invitational. (Robinson's teams appeared in that game in each of his final four seasons at N.C. State.)
The modern Les Robinson Invitational now spans seven games covering two days. It's practically a tournament in itself: By the time Friday rolls around, seven of the league's 15 teams are on their way home before Virginia and Syracuse and Duke and North Carolina have even taken the court in Greensboro.
The ACC, aware that three new Wednesday games featuring the conference's six worst teams might not be a particularly attractive addition to the tournament ticket book, threw open the doors with general-admission seating (the side visible to television cameras was filled first) and a mid-day concert by Bojangles' spokesman McCreery.
After Miami and Virginia Tech narrowly avoided overtime that might have significantly delayed or abridged McCreery's show, he bounced onto stage and shouted: "What's going on, ACC tournament?"
McCreery wore an Elvis T-shirt during his 11-song, 44-minute set. Earlier in the day, the N.C. State fan from Garner arrived at the arena in Wolfpack gear from head to toe. His team will be here Thursday night, when the ACC tournament as we know it begins.

How are they able to translate so quickly and efficiently? Even though I am fully bilingual in Spanish and English, my brain doesn't process things that quickly. Besides, how do they know all the legal terminologies in both languages? Court interpreters go through a very lengthy and rigorous program to be able to do what they do.
JUST IN: The defense in the Kate Steinle murder trial rests. pic.twitter.com/8KEiZRinfo— Lyanne Melendez (@LyanneMelendez) November 9, 2017
On Thursday, the defense in the People vs. Jose Ines Garcia Zarate trial called an investigator with the San Francisco Public Defender's Office to testify. Fanny Suarez is also a former certified court interpreter with years of experience. She has even taught others how to master that profession and was brought in to highlight inaccuracies made by the translator during the police interrogation of Garcia Zarate in the early morning hours of July 2, 2015, several hours after Kate Steinle was shot.

For example, according to the transcripts, a police officer asked Garcia Zarate in English: "You pulled the trigger correct?" The translator then asked Garcia Zarate, "¿Usted, apuntó y disparó la pistola?"
If you translate that, the person is asking the defendant, "Did you aim and fire the gun?"
The prosecution in the Kate Steinle murder trial will have one more rebuttal witness on Monday. Closing arguments are expected to begin on November 20. pic.twitter.com/TimmUrMnvk— Lyanne Melendez (@LyanneMelendez) November 9, 2017
The defense argued these are two different things.
"He is not a court-certified interpreter, that's ok we understand, however, there were shortcomings in that translation that everybody needs to pay attention to because as Ms. Suarez said, words matter," defense attorney Matt Gonzalez told reporters.

The jury will be able to review a copy of the entire police interrogation in the deliberation room.
Now that both sides have rested, the prosecution may or may not call rebuttal witnesses. If the prosecution does, then the jury will be back on Monday. If the prosecution decides not to, then the closing arguments will begin on Monday, Nov. 20, the week of Thanksgiving.

Today marks the beginning of the holiest of all days. During this week, we remember the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus. But more than a mere remembrance, the Holy Week is an actual reality. It is our own journey with Christ, with our own crosses, to our sure destination: salvation! In the words of Fr. Jerry Orbos, SVD, "The Holy Week speaks of the truth that God has come to save us, has taken on our ways, has spoken our language, has made our human circumstances a tool of saving power."
During our cluster recollection, Fr. Leo Luanzon shared an acronym (which he also got from Fr. Orbos) to help us make this week not just an ordinary week but a truly meaningful and holy week.
Halt! Stop for a while, or at least slow down. Take time to rest and relax.
Off with your worldly pursuits and concerns. Turn off your cellular phone if you have to, so that you can focus on your spiritual life this week. Forget quotas, forget deadlines, and forget performance. Don't let the world and its cares disturb the tranquility of your mind and soul this week. Let the world go by, and let the Lord take care of everything for once. Surprise yourself. Rediscover your inner strengths and simple joys. OFF to the world. ON to your heart. On to your God.
Fr. Leo also added that this week is the perfect time to examine our conscience and ask ourselves, "how much have I loved?" As a guide, we can reflect on these seven capital sins (PEGSLAW):
- Pride
- Envy
- Gluttony
- Sloth
- Lust
- Avarice (Greed)
- Wrath (Anger)
Listen. Pray and meditate. Take time to listen to God. Allow the Father to wrap His loving arms around your shoulders once again and just listen. Listen also to your own inner self, not just to your day-to-day wants and needs. Is there something you are missing in your life? Is there something more you need to do in your life?
Yield to God. Let go of your grip on your own life. Be on the lookout for His road signs as you travel on. Listen to His instructions, and you will find your way. Better still, let Him do the navigating and the driving.
Warm up your relationships. This is a time for us to be reconciled with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Reach out to the people you have taken for granted or left out altogether. Time to call a friend. Call, treat, write, smile, and hug. Use anything that will help you repair, restore, and revitalize your relationships.
Erase the burdens of guilt and sin with a good, honest, and humble confession. Heed God's call for repentance. Time also to erase hurts, resentments, anger and ill feelings. Forgive people who hurt you, and ask for forgiveness from people you have hurt, cheated, used, or abused in any way.
Express your love. Whatever you do, especially this week, like praying, fasting, works of penance and deeds of charity, let them all be expressions of your love and gratitude to God. Let them be done not out of fear, or out of obligation.
Kneel down. In humility, kneel down in prayer before God and thank Him for suffering so much. For dying on the cross and for rising again for our salvation. Somebody died for you and me. Let us not allow this week to pass without personally thanking Him. Let this also be a time for all of us to kneel down before one another in humility: parents before their children whom they have neglected, children before their parents whom they have hurt, etc.

May we all have a blessed, meaningful, Spirit-filled Holy Week! ♥
