TUESDAY, June 12, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- Eating a nutritionally balanced high-quality diet may lower a cancer patient's risk of dying by as much as 65 percent, new research suggests.
The finding that total diet, rather than specific nutritional components, can affect a cancer patient's prognosis "was particularly surprising to us," said the study's lead author, Ashish Deshmukh.
Total diet, he explained, was one that appeared to be "balanced" and "nutrient-rich" with a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, proteins and dairy.
Deshmukh is an assistant professor with the University of Florida's College of Public Health and Health Professions.
To explore the impact of nutrition on cancer, the researchers sifted through data collected between 1988 and 1994 by the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III). Almost 34,000 people were included in the survey, which asked all participants to offer up a 24-hour diet diary.
The team then used the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) "Dietary Guidelines for Americans" as a yardstick for ranking the nutritional quality of the diets used by 1,200 people who had been diagnosed with cancer.
The USDA guidelines specify serving recommendations for fruits, vegetables, whole grains, proteins, dairy, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium.
In turn, all 1,200 patients were then tracked for an average of 17 years, with researchers verifying all subsequent deaths -- up to 2011 -- through the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics Linked Mortality Files.
By that point, half the cancer patients had died.
But the research team found that those who had consumed the most nutritious diets overall had a 65 percent lower risk for dying -- either from cancer or any other cause -- than those who had consumed the worse diets.
Deshmukh noted that the investigation did not assess the exact length of the survival benefit, nor did the researchers explore how exercise or other types of healthy behavior may impact cancer outcomes. Only an association was seen between diet and death risk, not a cause-and-effect link.
But the researchers noted that the overall strength of the protective benefit of eating well held up even after digging deeper to look at the specific risk of dying from certain types of cancer, including skin cancer and breast cancer.
"It is most critical that cancer survivors and their health care providers start talking about [a] balanced diet," said Deshmukh. "It is also crucial that cancer survivors work with their dietitians to identify a balanced diet regimen, and then follow that regimen.
"There are no harms [from] healthful eating," he added.
Marjorie Lynn McCullough is a senior scientific director of epidemiology research with the American Cancer Society. She noted that the "study had some limitations, such as not controlling for smoking, and evaluating older nutrition guidelines which have since been modified." She was not involved with the study.
But, she added, the findings are "generally consistent with growing evidence supporting recommendations to eat a healthy diet for cancer survivors."
Like the guidelines for cancer prevention, McCullough said, that means lowering the intake of sugar and empty calories by consuming "a mostly plant-based diet, including a variety of vegetables, whole fruits and whole grains, in addition to exercise and achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight.
"However, nutrition needs can vary during treatment, recovery and over the long term," she cautioned, "so cancer survivors should work with their health care practitioner to tailor advice on nutrition and physical activity to their situation."
The findings were published June 12 in the journal JNCI Cancer Spectrum.

Shinta's Take on Yugioh: Battle City
The most infamous arc in the franchise opens the door to the real way to play the game, the introduction of some of the strongest monsters in the game… and an antagonist SEVERELY screwed over during the import. Also, a god turned into an executive producer. What idiot thought that was a good Idea?
Tokusatsu in Review: Rurouni Kenshin The Legend Ends
The long-awaited Finale to the Ruroken Movie reviews showscases what is ultimately the weakest of the three films…and sadly we get to them after funimation has made them widely available. Once again, Our timing is terrible.
Shinta's Take on Yugioh: Duelist kingdom Finals
Duelist kingdom wraps with many more context shifts for characters in their original version, and a lot of cards that were later expanded into their own really cool archetypes. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5kul8i_shinta-s-take-on-yugioh-duelist-kingdom-finals_fun
Shinta's Take on Yugioh: Duelist Kingdom

Social Psychology or Social Psychologies
Social psychology has been said to have a short history, but a long past. By this, we mean that it is a relatively young discipline: the phrase 'social psychology' first appeared only around 150 years ago. However, its 'long past' refers to the fact that the questions which preoccupy us in social psychology are not new. Indeed, as long as people have been writing we find references to questions which still occupy us today in social psychology. These writers are not confined to one discipline (indeed, the notion of this would have been problematic, or even alien, to many of them), but they share a common interest in considerations that centre on the social nature of human beings, our communal actions, understandings and interactions.
One might have thought that 150 years was not long enough for a discipline to develop much diversity, but nothing could be further from the truth. Psychology itself is a divided discipline and what is already effectively a sub-discipline or branch of social psychology is, itself, diverse and divided.
What joins social psychologists in the definition of their discipline tends to be the components they use to describe their work: these are usually the individual, society and, most importantly, some sort of relationship between them.
The importance that is given to these different aspects - individual and society - varies greatly, as do the assumptions that are made about which (if either) takes precedence. Rather like the chicken and the egg, we can find ourselves in endless debates over which came first: does society exist only because of the individuals who create and comprise it, or are individuals the product of the societies in which they grow up, participate and exist? It is possible to find both of these positions argued forcefully on the pages of textbooks and journal articles in social psychology.
There are other social psychologists who feel that this rather misses the point. For them, to place individual before society risks underplaying the importance of wider societal factors in the development of each person, and the effect of growing up in communities and societies that have ideas, rules, practices, rituals and so on which we must learn and take on board if we are to become functioning human beings. However, it is similarly problematic to assume that the individual has no role in this process: if we over-emphasise the role of society, we risk a determinism which writes out the individual and his or her potential to change and to challenge what is around us. Instead, these social psychologists prefer to see the relationship between individual and society as more mutually co-constructive: they create one another, depend upon one another and can only be considered in interaction.
Many of these differences often go unacknowledged and unconsidered in writing on social psychology, but taking some time to consider how the individual, society and the relationship between the two are being presented by any social psychologist can be a constructive exercise.

Projects: Mississippi
With an ecosystem that encompasses barrier islands, seagrass beds, meandering waterways, and maritime forests, the Mississippi Coast celebrates a cultural heritage tied to its diverse lands and waters. Mississippi Sound is the centerpiece of the state's 86-mile-long coast.
Key to maintaining the intricate ecological balance of the Sound are the coast's barrier islands, which also help defend local communities against storms and hurricanes. Four of these islands and a portion of a fifth island are protected under the Gulf Islands National Seashore, while two are federally designated wilderness areas.
This complex system supports main sectors of the state's economy, particularly the tourism, shipping, and seafood industries. Commercial and recreational fishing generate more than $700 million in sales annually and support more than 5,000 jobs. Nearly one in five jobs on the coast is tourism-related. Each year the Mississippi sites of the Gulf Islands National Seashore draw nearly 900,000 visitors, generating $32 million for the local economy and supporting more than 540 local jobs.
In total, Mississippi is certain to receive more than $1.3 billion dollars that can be used for restoration as a result of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. More than a quarter of these funds have already been awarded or are in the process of being committed to projects that include improving water quality, restoring and protecting critical habitats, and benefiting birds, oysters, fish, and sea turtles. The remaining money will become available over the next decade and a half.
Dantzler Coastal Preserve Restoration
This project will restore a total of 900 acres (500 acres of estuarine marsh and 400 acres of longleaf pine savannah) within Dantzler Coastal Preserve, which is part of the state's larger Pascagoula River Marsh Preserve. The Dantzler property suffered less direct wind and tidal surge damage than many of the other Coastal Preserves during Hurricane Katrina. However, serious long-term consequences are anticipated due to the distribution of Chinese tallow tree propagules across the site. The effort to regain control of Chinese tallow throughout the site and cleanup residual storm debris would be greatly aided by first conducting comprehensive prescribed burns. Restoring access that was lost due to storm downfall can be accomplished as part of the preparation for prescribed burning. There would be prescribed fires, 400 acres of invasive species control via spraying and cutting, 75 acres of reforestation and monitoring.
Fish and Waterfowl Benefits
The Pascagoula River Marsh Preserve consists of 11,500 acres that includes essentially all marsh associated with the mouth of the Pascagoula River. Tidal marsh serves as a nursery for recreationally and commercially important fisheries, filters water from rivers before the reach the Gulf, and function as buffers from coastal storms. Boaters and anglers also use the Pascagoula River Marsh area on occasional and seasonal basis for waterfowl hunting (sparingly) and fishing.

Gulf Islands National Seashore Land Acquisition
Gulf Islands National Seashore spans two barrier islands chains off the Mississippi Coast and Florida Panhandle. This project will permanently protect roughly 250 acres on Horn Island, through the acquisition of an outstanding 50 percent interest held in private ownership. These inholdings within the Gulf Islands National Seashore are among the highest acquisition priorities for the National Park Service. Its permanent protection would support a variety of wildlife species, would increase storm surge protection and would facilitate and public use of the property.
Fish and Waterfowl Benefits
Horn Island is one of the few nationally designated barrier island wilderness areas in the national park system, and provides excellent feeding, resting, and wintering habitat for numerous types of neotropical migrants and wintering waterfowl. In particular, the lands to be acquired provide nesting habitats for sea turtles, grazing seagrass beds for migrating manatees, as well as important barrier island maritime forests and freshwater wetland areas.

Editing: How to Slay the Beast
Three years ago, I wrote a blog post about editing in which I said I had no coping strategies for editing.
This post sets out to correct this.
Contrary to a belief my brain holds, no writing is perfect in the first draft. When it comes out of you, like some awful word-formed baby, it is small and weak and amazing but not real yet, just like real babies. It needs to be nurtured and pruned, and believe me, it's the worst thing in the whole world.
I like to create. I don't like to scab-pick.
So, with that in mind, here's a friendly guide on how I get through editing.
Step One: Rest It
I try not to edit while I write, but sometimes that's an inevitability. I'm in a pretty good habit of re-reading my previous work, checking it and moving on. But once the thing is finished, it needs to lie and rest. Like roast beef. There is absolutely no point in editing a thing that you're word-blind to (word-blind: a condition which affects writers, in which they become so acclimatised to their writing they see no fault in it). Go back to it an a few months, or years. You'll have the benefit of experience behind you, and you'll have lost your unconditional love.
Step Two: Re-read, Delete
Once the resting period is over, be brutal. As Loki says,
Okay, maybe not everything. But a lot of things.
Lots of writing in a first draft is intended only for you, the writer. It's what I term 'scaffolding'. It has to be there, at first, to help the building keep its structure, but, it has to come down eventually (unless your building is York Minster). You have to find the scaffolding. Remember, the only thing that needs to stay is what is necessary for your reader to understand your story. Everything else is what I call bumf. Reduce the bumf. Get rid of tautological phrases, adverbs, and those irritating 'said' words.
No, really, trust me. It sounds like a lot. But obey Loki. It will look bare, but OBEY LOKI.
Also, pro-tip: use the handy 'Track Changes' function on your Word document thingy. That means that you can see your progress, but also if you make a mistake, you can get that writing back.
It should look like this.
And that's okay. Because then we get to:
Step Three: Roll It In Glitter
The nice thing about editing (the only nice thing about editing) is you can put things back in. There will be points in your work where you see an opportunity to do some better description, or maybe some dialogue that bugs you and needs an extra 50 words. And, because you did what Loki said, that's okay. JUST MAKE SURE IT ISN'T MORE SCAFFOLDING.
How do you tell if it's scaffolding? Simple. Ask yourself: does the reader need to know this? Can the reader figure this out for themselves? If the answers are 'not really' and 'yes', get rid of it.
You can put adverbs back in, but sparingly, like chilli.
Remember: glitter is awesome in small amounts. Too much, and it's camp and cheesy. Got it? Good.
Step Four: Re-read, Approve
Go back to the beginning, read the whole thing, carefully, and get rid of everything you hate, and tick tick tick everything you love. If you've tracked your changes, this is super satisfying.
Step Five: Rest It, Test It
Leave it be. Let someone else read it. Make sure it's someone you trust and admire, and make sure it's a mixture of writers and readers. Take their feedback and criticism. You don't have to agree with everything, but remember you're precious about what you've written. If you find yourself agreeing, even a little, it's true. If you disagree, find the proof. Thank everyone for their feedback, even if you're going to ignore it. And take notes on it.
Step Six: Print and Prod
Now, change the font and print it out. Grab yourself a bunch of different coloured pens and highlighters and lock yourself up with no distractions. Read, carefully, and do the following:
Green highlighter: love this
Red pen: delete this
Blue pen: notes for changes
Yellow highlighter: move this somewhere else
Always question yourself. If you have questions, your reader will, too. And be mean to yourself. If you're mean to yourself, you learn. It will look something like this:
Step Seven: Re-read, Write-Up
Same as above. Read, re-write.
Sometimes, it'll be forever until it's ready. Sometimes, not so much. THE WHOLE TIME, YOU WILL HATE YOURSELF AND YOUR WRITING. Don't give up.
And if necessary, remember:

Why not take a look at this machine operating!
- Brochure
Need some more information? Why not download the brochure!
- Technical Specifications
Need some technical information? Then Here the details!
ALcode LT is a light version of our standard ALcode industrial series machine, developed specifically for low to medium volume variable print data labelling applications requiring a compact sized, cost competitive print and apply labelling machine solution.
Compact Economy Print & Apply Machine
ALcode LT
It was developed specifically to incorporate the SATO LT economy inline print engine, a lighter version of the standard SATO print engine we use in our industrial ALcode machines, created specifically for low to medium speed/volume applications where perhaps historically a print and apply labelling machine solution would not have been viable.
ALcode LT can print and apply labels up to a maximum of 104mm leading edge (112mm max inc carrier paper) at an impressive 150mm/sec print speed and at a print resolution of 8 dots/mm (203dpi), allowing text, barcodes and simple graphics to be printed and applied on a one-for-one basis (last label printed is the label applied) to the top, side or bottom of a product as required.
ALcode LT is available with most of the same application solutions as we offer with our standard ALcode machine, suitably redesigned in many parts to accommodate the needs for compactness and versatility typical of this model.
The machines logic is controlled by a compact microprocessor control system, neatly housed in the robust body of the machine along with the printer, pneumatics systems and 220mm label unwind and carrier paper rewind system, to create a machine that is particularly small and light, easy to fit in narrow spaces on packaging lines or in packaging machines.
The pneumatic application mechanisms available for ALcode LT include:
- "Air Blast" application system, for non contact labelling on potentially uneven surfaces or at variable distances (max 80mm) with labels of different sizes, in an optimal application cycle time, to allow speeds of more than 40 units p/m dependent on label size
- Swinging plate application system, for contact labelling of moving products, of varying size/uneven surface products with labels of different sizes
- Tamp-Blow piston application system, taking the label from the printer and extending to a fixed point close to the still or moving product before accurately blowing the label
ALcode LT has been successfully integrated in to a wide variety of applications, but has seen particular success in providing the ideal solution for
When fitted with our versatile non-contact air blast applicator and a local label control selection system, making it ideal for short batch product runs.
Key Features
- One-to–one, real time print & apply machine for applications requiring a simple low cost &/or ultra compact machine
- Broad range of modular application systems including tamp-blow, direct blow 'air blast' & swinging plate solutions
- Easy integration with host for label data via Windows driver &/or network interface options

Key Points:
Crusaders mentor Robbie Deans has effectively ruled himself out of becoming the Wallabies first foreign coach.
Deans has dipped out of the running for Australia's top coaching post after indicating he wanted a successful end to his fruitful Crusaders tenure.
Australian Rugby Union high-performance manager Pat Wilson today revealed Deans was keen to have another year at the helm of Canterbury's six-time Super rugby champions.
While Wilson would not officially rule the New Zealander out of the running it would be near impossible for him to prepare Australia's 2008 campaign with less than a month's break between Super 14 and international duties.
Deans and Wilson had preliminary talks about the job vacancy last month in a meeting which included a game of squash and have spoken again in recent days.
Since the Crusaders suffered an atypical late-season fade, which ultimately ended with a sudden-death 27-12 semi-final loss to the Bulls in Pretoria, Deans feels he has some unfinished business.
"The Crusaders are a very proud organisation and Robbie is certainly a very proud individual and I think you'll find he wants to have another season there," Wilson told AAP.
But the ARU will not take Deans' hat out of a ring which also includes Laurie Fisher (Brumbies), Ewen McKenzie (NSW), David Nucifora (Blues) and Wallabies assistants Michael Foley and Scott Johnson.
The decision on the replacement for John Connolly will be made in November, as soon as possible after the Rugby World Cup, and Wilson conceded the chosen candidate may still be tied to a Super 14 province.
He admitted it was a question that still needed to be answered by a panel assigned to choosing the coach.
"It (Super 14 commitments) may not rule any of them out," Wilson said.
McKenzie has said he would be prepared to stay on with the Waratahs even if he received the Wallabies post so not to leave them in the lurch.
However Australia A coach Fisher, the early favourite, has told the Brumbies he would rather not do both.
After the weekend's semi-final loss Deans said he would let the New Zealand and Canterbury unions know his intentions within a fortnight.
"I enjoy what I do here, and we'll see if there's any interest in keeping me," he told Christchurch newspaper The Press.
Crusaders boss Hamish Riach has told Deans the job was his if wanted to stay.
"He has our full support. He's aware that we would love him to stay and lead the Crusaders into the future. He's had remarkable success and we would like that to continue with him at the helm," Riach said.
Wallabies forwards coach Foley and attack coach Johnson won't be interviewed for the main job until after the RWC with the ARU preferring they stay completely focussed on the Test season.

Any time ANYONE is celebrating poetry, I am totally on board. So, yay for poetry! Yay for National Poetry Day in Britain! And it's perfect timing too. Because this weekend will be chock-full of poetry and poets and all things wonderful and delicious.
First up: Birmingham Arts Journal reading/release party tonight. It is always so much fun to meet the contributors after I have fallen in love with their words. I always come away thinking, wow, the world is an amazing place.
Friday: The First Annual Gulf Coast Poetry Tour. I'm joining in the fun on the last leg of the tour, at Art Walk in Mobile. Many thanks to Rob Gray who is awesome. If you know him, I don't have to explain.
Also tomorrow: a workshop with Lorna Dee Cervantes. I am SO EXCITED to learn from Lorna. And I've been in a bit of a poetry slump since completing the historical women's series. I need some new juice, and I bet Lorna is just the gal to bring it.
Then, on Saturday, I'll be talking about WRITING WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW with the Pensters at Fairhope Public Library. Which reminds me. Need to work on speech.
Wishing everyone beautiful words today.

Al Qaeda hearts Bush
Al Qaeda and terrorist groups are grateful to Dubya for creating their own terrorist academy.
The head of an al Qaeda-linked group in Iraq said the country had become a "university of terrorism", producing highly qualified warriors, since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.
Who coudl blame them? The War on Terror has done everything but fight the war on terror.
And new evidence is piling up around us, arguably strong enough to declare the whole War on Terror an undeniable fraud.
Virtually ignored by mainstream media, the Americans showed their hand this year with the new Iraqi oil law, now making its way through Iraq's parliament.

This is a proven, highly effective treatment involving simple household products combined with a specific multi-step technique. Established medical and scientific journals have acknowledged the concept behind this method for years. However, it can be dangerous if done incorrectly or carelessly, and therefore considered medically unorthodox by most physicians. Aside from the safety concerns; if all steps are followed precisely as described, this is by far the fastest course of action you can take to kill your cold sore dead. Proceed at your own risk with care.
This method should only be attempted on minor HSV-1 early stage cold sore blisters or aphthous ulcers (canker sores) that are located on the outer or upper/lower lip (between the lips). Weeping or crusting blisters may also benefit, although possible damage to newly formed scabs and tissue may delay healing. Therefore, late stage blisters are not recommended for this treatment. Mucous membrane sores in the mouth or nose should never be treated with this method. See photo on the top right side titled "Minor Cold Sore". The earlier you detect and treat the sore, the faster your recovery will be. Read the warnings and skin discoloration risks shown below before you get started.
Get a white (no pattern) paper towel sheet. Cut it down to roughly 3" x 6". Fold it over 4 times into a small rectangle about ¾" x 1-½" (so you can grab the end). It should be around 16 layers thick by the time you're done folding it over. The size of the folded mini-towel should be about as wide as the sore you're trying to treat. Soak it in 91% to 99% isopropyl alcohol. Pinch it lightly with your fingers to squeeze off excess alcohol that may drip into your mouth and contact your tongue. Hold it in place on the sore between your lips until you need to swallow.
The pain will only be intense for a few minutes as the nerves become numb from the alcohol. If you have a small fan, blow it towards your face to redirect the alcohol fumes. Take the mini-towel out to swallow, then reposition it back on the sore. If holding it in your mouth with your lips isn't possible due to the sore's location, the use of a latex glove or Saran wrap protecting your fingers is recommended. Re-soak the mini-towel every 15-minutes in alcohol, then pinch off the excess and reposition it back on the sore.
The target duration is to reach 45-minutes of continued direct contact so the alcohol saturates the inner layers of the skin where the outbreak initially self-replicated. After this step is complete, you have basically transformed your cold sore into a common sore (like a scrape or a bruise) which heals on average 3-6 times faster given the right conditions.
You should now apply just a small amount of Neosporin antibiotic ointment on the sore. Drink liquid food supplements (like Ensure by Abbott Labs or Boost by Nestlé HealthCare Nutrition) and water only through a straw for the rest of the day. If at all possible, continue the straw-fed regimen the following day. You can supplement nuts and small fruit like grapes or berries that simply pop into your mouth without touching your sore. Bite-sized food that's bland and doesn't require lip contact to separate (unlike a deli sandwich or spaghetti) should be fine. This will dramatically improve healing by keeping the sore dry, and away from aggravating salty or acidic foods.
WARNING: You need to examine your sore and the surrounding tissue every 5-minutes in a mirror during the 45-minute alcohol application period. Doing this will reduce the likelihood of an adverse event becoming a significant risk. Some people have an allergic reaction to isopropyl alcohol which is why it's so important to check the status regularly. Obvious swelling or redness is a sign you should stop and check back in two hours. Do not substitute the alcohol with other chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide or nail polish remover. This can result in serious tissue damage requiring a hospital visit, as well as make you very sick. Keep the alcohol away from your eyes and nose. Wearing swimming goggles combined with the use of a fan directed towards your face during this process is strongly advised. The fumes alone can cause severe eye, nose, throat, and respiratory irritation lasting for days. Be very careful with the alcohol so close to your face.
Skin pigmentation discoloration and the development of dermal hypersensitivity associated with frequent and/or prolonged contact with isopropyl alcohol: Most of the data readily available associated with these rare occurrences involve OSHA Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) intended for workplace safety. Factory workers involved in large scale daily production are considered at risk. (See additional studies in PDF below.) The point being made here is that an established link between exposure and long term adverse events exists. In relationship to this treatment's alcohol exposure duration and surface area affected, the risks should be quite low. However, no long term controlled study presently exists representing this treatment. If you have a pigmentation disorder (Vitiligo) or very parched, easily irritated skin or scalp/hair, this would not be an advisable solution to undertake.
If you're concerned with the risks but still want to try the treatment, start off very slow. Start out with only 1 or 2-minutes of alcohol skin contact using a cotton swab (vs. the mini-towel). Every 3-hours of the day apply the swab for another 1 or 2-minutes. This is not as effective, but it will reduce the healing time. Follow the rest of the treatment steps. You can slowly up your alcohol application time as you become more familiar with the results. By the next time you get an outbreak, you'll know weather or not you can zap it out with the target 45-minutes from your previous trials.
The controversy over the use of bleach: Household chlorine bleach is 5 to 6% sodium hypochlorite (a stabilized derivative of diatomic chlorine gas). This is a strong oxidizing agent capable of serious burns and cellular damage if not carefully diluted. Oxygen or peroxide bleach which contains hydrogen peroxide or peroxide-releasing compounds is a progressive, fast acting oxidizer. This makes it hard to predict outcome on a delicate lip sore. Sodium chlorate is another bleaching compound you'll hopefully never run into. Due to an EC decision on the chemical and its associated hazards, it will be withdrawn from the market as of May 10th, 2010. Bleach does not discriminate between healthy and unhealthy cells, and at elevated concentrations, skin tissue will begin to break down as the powerful oxidizer works to sterilize everything in its path.
However, there is the rare exception. When bleach is diluted to about 60% strength (36,000-ppm) using the Clorox brand 6% sodium hypochlorite, it has been shown to be effective on cold sores using short duration applications. The first day of this treatment you'll need to carry around a timer, cotton swabs, and worst of all, the diluted bleach. Like Houdini, bleach can work its way out of a container causing permanent damage to clothes, car seats/chairs, or carpet. Carry the smallest amount possible in a reliable hermetically sealed screw cap container, and reseal the container in a Ziploc bag. The steps to this method are as follows: Hold a saturated swab 1 to 2-minutes on the early stage blister. Don't rub the swab to attain full coverage. If the blister is larger than the swab's tip, use two swabs. Repeat the process every 3-hours with no more than 6 applications in 24-hours. You should experience positive results the following day. If possible, start this treatment when you first wake up so you can follow through with at least 4 of the 6 consecutive tri-hourly applications. This is essential because each application is significantly dependant on the other to bring down the infection.
Compared with isopropyl alcohol, the use of bleach is less effective, although still provides better results than most OTC medications. Bleach is a more powerful germicide, and thus lacks restraint during its search and destroy mission for pathogens. Isopropyl alcohol is absorbed more efficiently and targets the viral infection with less collateral damage to healthy live cells. Bleach cannot be used in adequate strengths for extended periods because of its destructive nature. In addition, concentration levels in chlorine bleach are not monitored as closely as FDA approved skin disinfectants. Because bleach comes in so many different brands, mixtures and strengths, calculating acceptable dilution ratios without knowing what you're using would be ridiculous. Despite bleach not being an allergen, tolerance levels vary widely from person to person. Minuscule amounts can react with other substances to cause serious problems. Furthermore, chlorine's toxicity threshold is so vast, it's currently undefined. Therefore, bleach is not recommended unless you know exactly what you're getting into.
The controversy over the use of ice: Some people have claimed ice has helped shrink the cold sore resulting in an accelerated healing. Others have gone so far as to say the repeated use of ice has killed off the virus completely. In actuality, to kill off the cold sore with the use of ice alone, you would have to use the dry form which would be insane. At temperatures below 195-K (-78.2 °C, -108.7 °F) on delicate facial tissue, dry ice will cause serious burns, and likely lead to permanent scaring. Therefore, never attempt to use wart removal kits of any kind for this purpose.
Water ice wafers can be made by simply filling an ice tray ¼ of the way full. The ice wafers are thin enough to fit nicely between the lips while reducing the risk of chilling a tooth nerve (vs. a full size cube). The ice will numb the pain providing some short term relief. However, ice unfortunately produces additional moisture which is what the virus thrives on. Putting the ice in a plastic bag is a far better idea if you feel you need it. Overall, the use of ice on canker sores (especially blister stage oral herpes) has shown inadequate results in randomized controlled clinical trials as well as large scale systematic reviews. Some physicians recommend it, so if you feel it's effective, then continue using the ice in a bag.
Fomite removal is a crucial last step in the recovery process. Replace your toothbrush with a brand new one. Swap out your washcloth, bed pillow covers (bed sheets too if you want to be extra careful). Thoroughly wash coffee cups, glassware and utensils. Toss out the used Chapstick/lip ointments that may have been in contact with your sore. Sorry, but yes… Stay away from your spouse/kids until it heals. This method is also effective on Athlete's Foot (tinea pedis) fungal infection.
As with all medical advice, talk to a qualified healthcare professional about your medical conditions before undertaking any treatment. Getting multiple opinions before making a decision is always a good idea. Be careful with this information provided, and good luck.

Mrs C: We, in the snow time, we went on wur sledges. There again, we could do a lot of sledging. It seems now there was more snow but it's not so much that there was more snow. Your life has been given over to cars, your roads have been given over to cars, so, I mean, if there's any snow at all, along they come and they shake sand and they shake grit and everything, and that spoils it; that's no use for anything, but it's the cars that's important. And we, there wasn't so many cars, you see, there was horse and carts and ye could always get out o' the way o' a horse and cart - you hoped. I came from Wick; I played, I sledged in Wick. So I don't know if ye know Wick at all but there's a big long brae that goes, you know, like the Sh- what we call the Shore Road an' it goes down and when you come down to the bottom o' it, you're at the harbour. You see, so you come down, an' you have to make a quick turn till your left wi' your sledge, you see, and go along then. It didna always work out that way though, did it?
Mrs C: So, the fishermen said to themselves, 'Oh, that little monkeys is goin' to be on that road,' so they didn't park, they didn't moor their boats at that corner of the water. They kept them away, 'cause it was very hard if you came down on a sledge an' you went in, hit the board and then you went intill a boat. You widna like to do that, wid you? So, it was much better just to go in the water; there was always somebody there that fished you out again.
Mr C: Oh aye.
Mrs C: You did get a soaking and your mother no doubt gave you a row, but that was the way it went. But we'd lots o' fun wi' that.
Mr C: You see, most times the sledge was overloaded, of course. Ye'd have a sledge maybe about three feet long, ye'd have six on it - six, boys and girls, all heaped on it.
Mrs C: It was made from wood, it was - Plastic wasn't in it or anything like that. It was wood.
Mr C: It was wooden, you see, and they had steel runners on them and then the man in the workshop made these steel runners.
Mrs C: You went to th' blacksmith's -
Mr C: Blacksmith.
Mrs C: - and they welded, you know, they gave you this, welded this on.
Mr C: Onto your wooden sledge.
Mrs C: An' boy, could they shine, you know, if you got them -
Mr C: We've still got one at home here in Thurso.
Mrs C: We hiv one. I wid take it along till the school and show you if you were interested.
Mr C: A sledge. What is it?
Mrs C: But, a sledge, an old-fashioned sledge. What?
Mr C: How many years is it old? It's -
Mrs C: Well, I widna like to say. It's definitely an-ti-queue. Do you know an-ti-queue? Well, it's definitely an-ti-queue. It was before my day. I mean, it was passed on to me, so -
Mr C: Aye, it must be seventy, eighty, ninety years old.
Mrs C: And our family used it. Oh aye, it's -
Mr C: Aye.

Handmade Joy Exchanges over the years. Anne invites folks to send her their contact information, then she mixes everyone up and sends each of us the name of a person to create a little something for. I've participated in all but one of Anne's exchanges, so this time around I signed up right away!
When I received Sarah's information, I checked out her Instagram account to see what sorts of things interested her. I literally squealed with delight when I saw her photos. Take a peek here and you'll see why. I knew right away that I wanted to create a path in the woods for Sarah, using as many natural elements as I could. I used some of my homegrown, hand dyed indigo linen as the base and worked with birch twigs from the yard, cotton thread, a bit of paper and a much loved mother of pearl button. It was such fun to send this piece across the ocean to France, hoping it would be well received.

The majority of 'designers' are not inventors or innovators, they are alchemists, perpetually searching for a means to create gold from the bare bones of science. Designers appropriate scientific fact and mediate this immaterial knowledge in such a way as it can perform a practical function to both the 'user' and big business.
We represent the lens of elucidation through which science and technology are simultaneously projected back onto the human body.

As in the new arms the swan stands for Buckinghamshire, the the flowers for the horticulture in the borough. The brick-axes refer tothe brick-making and the sign of Uranus is from the arms of the family of Herschel of Slough, and relates to the discovery of the planet Uranus by Sir William Herschel.
The supporters are the gods Mercury and Vulcan and symbolize trade and industry.
Literature : Images and information provided by the Slough Library (firstname.lastname@example.com)
I want to use the industrial connections I've made to produce a brick-making press or extruder (manual and/or automatic) that produces unfired bricks.
The concept is to emphasise the intelligent use of technology applied to an ancient method of building. This goes back to the relationship between the Progress and Regression I raised in my dissertation.
(iii) Umbrella theme of 'design as the connections between things.'
The localised, cyclical relationship between a dug foundation and the clay soil used to make the bricks that builds the house. This microcosm of industry will be reflected in the way my brick making device is manufactured; namely locally, joining neighbouring processes, suppliers and materials together.
A locally produced brick press will be used to produce bricks onsite, reducing energy of transportation, firing, and waste materials in landfill. It also means that the lifecycle of the raw material is still intact and the process becomes 'closed loop.'
A reconnection between the activities of brick making and brick laying which have been separated through industrialisation of the process over last 150 years. This localised brick press device could have ramifications for the tools used to build brick constructions and for the corresponding architecture. Perhaps there is scope to develop these designed languages as part of the project as well ? (time permitting).
(iv) Other considerations:
Sustainable context. Sustainable Slough;
This project will emphasise the sustainable credentials of a hi-tech trading estate powered by a renewable power station that creates a device for producing local bricks that don't require firing.

Last year was a pretty great one for cinema and one creative YouTuber has given us the chance to relive some of 2015's best big screen moments in one epic mashup video.
Sleepy Skunk is responsible for this masterful piece of work, which features clips from the likes of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Mad Max: Fury Road, Jurassic World, The Hateful Eight, Spectre, Inside Out, and dozens more.
In fact, just about every movie from 2015 seems to be represented in this one, even the ones which were not so good (Fifty Shades of Grey, we're looking at you).
All set to an awesome soundtrack, this beautiful piece of work really makes us want to go back and check out some of the great stuff we missed last year!
By the way, if you want to see the full list of movies used in the trailer, check out Sleepy Skunk's blog.
And if you like what you see, you can check out his 2014 trailer mashup and 2013 trailer mashup too.
With so many great movies to look forward to this year, it's set to be another great year for film. Roll on 2016, we say!

The elder's first duty is to feed God's flock. Some elders will labor at preaching and teaching, and for that, the congregation will give them material compensation.Audio File Lecture Outline Detailed Outline
Remember It
- Contemplate these questions, then click on each question to see the answer.
Discuss It
- Why is Titus 1:9 considered by the speaker to be one of the most important qualifications for defining a New Testament, Christian elder?
- What is the difference between a board elder and a shepherd elder?
- Why is it absolutely vital for the church eldership to understand the teaching of 1 Tim. 5:17-18?
Apply It
- Study the Greek word for "labor" in 1 Tim. 5:17. Give a thorough definition of this word. It is important to understand the significance of this word for elders.
- Check as many Bible translations as you can concerning the translation of 1 Tim. 5:17. You can also use a paraphrase translation if it helps you understand the passage. Is there one translation or paraphrase that opens up the meaning of the passage to you?

Botox for Cervical Dystonia Following EMG Mapping

|Condition or disease
|Cervical Dystonia
|Drug: Botulinum toxin A
|Phase 4
The most common type of primary late-onset dystonia is cervical dystonia. Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injections are a safe and effective treatment for cervical dystonia in a majority of patients, however, a significant minority of patients (between 15 and 25%) have a suboptimal response to Botulinum toxin therapy. It is unclear why some patients do not respond maximally to neurotoxin therapy.
Studies using needle electromyographic "mapping" in the evaluation of cervical dystonia have revealed that clinical examination alone is insufficient for determining which muscles contribute to the dystonic movement. When compared to needle electromyography (EMG) "mapping studies", experienced movement disorders specialists correctly identify only 59% of active muscles and believe that 25% of muscles which upon EMG evaluation are found to be quiescent, are involved in the dystonia. The selection of incorrect muscles for injection of Botulinum toxin may explain why some patients have a sub-optimal response.
This study seeks to measure outcomes when the muscles involved in dystonia are identified using "mapping" via an 8-12 channel EMG. In the proposed study, the most involved/active dystonic muscles will be correctly identified through simultaneous 8-12 channel mapping resulting in a more informed injection strategy, which may improve response to Botulinum toxin A treatment as compared to single lead EMG based injections. This study changes routine clinical care only by adding the step of studying the muscles of the neck with simultaneous EMG mapping to allow a more objective injection strategy.

Under an easy disguise their proliferation is accomplished by advertising in free posting sites such as Craigs List. Craigs List is a legitimate place to find many good job offers, but unfortunately the crooks have used their site to gain access to hundreds of people to do their hideous work.
Most people become participants in money laundering schemes simply by not being aware of what money laundering really is! I'm always happy to alert someone of the signs of those scams. Perhaps the example below will assist you to guard yourself against one such scam.
In the example below, here are the characteristics to identify, which reveal that their operation is nothing more than a disguise for laundering money.
- Instructs their victim to open a bank account for receiving funds from customers or clients
- So called employee keeps a percentage of the funds received, and then forwards the remaining monies to the so-called employer - thus laundering the money.
A lady applied for a job with a company. They sent her an email with information about the position, and she responded back telling them that she wanted to apply. Fortunately before she replied she was smart enough to recognize that something was not right with their offer. She then shared the information to ask the opinion of others as to whether or not it sounded like a scam. Please note the spelling errors are from the original she received, and spelling errors are often another sign that it is not a legitimate offer.This is What the process consist of:As you applying you need to forward us your bank information (account name, account number, routing number, bank name) that we may able to register merchant account to it, we suggest you to use separate bank account to exactly this job.The merchant account registration process will take up to 7-10 days to complete. Once merchant is ready, it will be configured in 24-48 hours on our website and will start receiving payments from customers.After we start selling, your exact duties will be in collecting payments from customers, it means that all payments will be forwarded to your bank account, you will be reporting to our sales manager about current status of how much orders collected.In some cases you will be making or receiving calls from/to customers to discuss the order status or any other concerns, our sales manager will inform you if it will be required.Corresponding payments to our financial department each payment day, this day will be set in further when orders start coming, usually each week. You will be get paid in the same day.Your salary will be equal 10% of the total amount you receive from our clients.

His name has become synonymous with courage during and after conflict – and now Simon Weston is coming to Leamington to tell his story.
From his own unique perspective, the Falklands War veteran will share shocking truths about the conflict, about the day the RFA Sir Galahad was attacked and about the impact the event and its consequences have had since.
It was the conflict of a generation and a time that many will never forget. On April 2 1982, Argentina invaded the Falklands Islands, with the aim of recapturing them through a claim that they had inherited the islands from Spain in the 1800s.
The islands, which had been under British control for nearly 150 years, became a battleground. What was to follow saw the deaths of 655 Argentine soldiers and 255 British service personnel.
Among those who were sent to the conflict was Simon. In one of the most horrific moments of the conflict, the RFA Sir Galahad was bombed by two Argentine planes, 48 servicemen lost their lives and very few survived. Among these survivors was Simon. This was an event which would change his life forever.
Eventually, and against the odds, Simon escaped the burning and buckled ship but only after suffering 46 per cent burns to his body. Since then he has become one of the most recognised faces of the conflict.
Simon will tell his story at the Spa Centre on Saturday January 23 at 7.30pm.
Guiding him through it will be one of his closest friends, David Fitzgerald, former Sky News anchor and BBC broadcaster.

General Education Program
The general education program is predicated on the belief that a particular body of knowledge and a particular set of competencies exist which are common to liberally educated people and which enable them to function as whole persons in a pluralistic society. In essence, the purpose of the general education program is to prepare all students to function as individual contributors to society, as members of the larger society, and as members of their native social and political environment.
Since the underlying assumption of the general education program is that there exists a common body of knowledge which binds together all human experiences, then all courses and activities which comprise the general education curriculum are designed around a common set of goals: to acquire, organize, evaluate knowledge and communicate knowledge.
As a result of the general education core and the companion discipline requirements, every Hampton University student prior to graduation should attain the following Core Competencies:
- Critical Thinking is the ability to identify how to act after careful evaluation of the evidence and reasoning in a communication.
- Ethics is the ability to identify ethical ideas, issues and apply ethical principles and relating to personal, professional and academic conduct.
- International Diversity is the ability to understand the social customs, traditions, and artifacts of a culture.
- Information and Technology Literacy is the ability to use electronic media to support research activities and the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information and its sources.
- Oral Communication is the ability to deliver a spoken message of depth and complexity in a way that elicits a response from an audience of understanding, appreciation, assent or critical inquiry.
- Quantitative Reasoning is the ability to use numeral, geometric, and measurement data and concepts, mathematical skills and principles of mathematical reasoning to draw logical conclusions and to make well-reasoned decisions in professional, financial, and/or real world situations
- Scientific Reasoning is the ability to describe, understand, predict, and control natural phenomena by adherence to a self-correcting system of inquiry, the scientific method, and reliance on empirical evidence.
- Written Communication is the ability to develop and express complex ideas clearly, coherently, and logically in a style appropriate for both purpose and audience and demonstrate mastery of accepted standards of written communication.

Drivers beware - Beds police will be targeting speeding motorists this month.
During the THINK! campaign which starts today (May 1) police will be out in force looking for motorists breaking the law.
Insp Mark Rogers said: "Those who speed put not only their own lives at risk but also the lives of others.
"The faster you drive the less time you have to react. Speed remains one of the biggest factors in fatal collisions.
"Throughout May we will carry out targeted patrols to enforce speed limits.
"I would urge anyone who drives to help us protect road users by reducing your speed and driving to the conditions of the roads."
Motorists are advised to:
• make sure you leave plenty of time for your journey, taking into account traffic
• watch out for changes in the speed limit
• drive to suit the conditions and the layout of the road
• don't let peer pressure encourage you to break the law
