Have you been wearing the same hairstyle forever? Don't you think it's time for a change?
The excuse "I don't know what else to do with my hair" no longer applies since with the advent of internet technology, everything you need to know is now accessible with a few clicks.
In other words, the internet offers a wealth of information on hairstyles. And there are with step-by-step tutorials too so you wouldn't be lost when styling your hair.
Having a new hairstyle is like a breath of fresh air (or should we say breath of fresh hair)? And your friends will surely notice how amazing your new look is.
One hairstyle that you should definitely try is braiding. Braiding is a simple weaving technique that involves intertwining hair strands to form a unique pattern. There are many variations to the classic braid–side braid, twisted braid, fish tails, milkmaids waterfalls, dutch braids, and many more. With so many options, you'll probably have enough to cover the whole year!
Here's the thing about braids, they look complicated but they're actually easier than they seem. Now if by any chance, you don't get it right the first time (which we doubt), don't worry, you'll perfect it with practice.
Check out this post below from renowned makeup artist and YouTube sensation Michelle Phan for some braid hairstyle inspirations. You're going to love each of them that you'll find it hard to choose where to start. Have fun!

Here at Freedom Care, as well as providing specialist care services for those with complex health needs such as autism, personality disorders, aspergers and learning disabilities with recognised autistic traits, we also offer quality care services to those with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).
Living with a child with ADHD would be a challenge for anyone. The impulsive, fearless and chaotic behaviours typical of ADHD can make normal everyday activities exhausting and stressful.
There are many areas and situations which can use issues when your child has ADHD, including:
Getting your child to sleep at night
Arriving at school on time
Listening to and carrying out instructions
Social occasions
It can be difficult if and when things go wrong but you have to remember that s/he can not help their behaviour; those with ADHD find it hard to suppress impulses so they do not stop to consider consequences before they act.
There are ways of coping:
Plan the day – routines can make a big difference
Set clear boundaries – make sure everyone knows what behaviour is expected and reinforce positive behaviour with immediate praise or rewards.
Be positive – give specific praise.
Give instructions – give brief instructions and be specific.
Create an incentive scheme for good behaviour – Set up your own incentive scheme using a points chart or star chart so good behaviour can earn a privilege
Intervene early – look for the warning signs!
Social situations – Keep social situations short and sweet.
Exercise – Make sure your child gets lots of physical activity during the day – at least 60 minutes!
Eating – If your child is hyperactive after eating certain foods keep a diary of these and discuss with your GP.
Bedtime – Stick to a routine!
Night time – Trying a sleep-friendly routine can help your child and make bedtime less of a battleground.
For more information about ADHD or to find out more about all of our services please get in touch.

How we Use Technology to Sell your Home
Once upon a time Realtors would come to your house, you would sign contracts for them to sell your home and then they'd proudly go to the front of your lawn and place a "FOR SALE" sign in front.
They would go back to the office and place it on the MLS (Multi Listing Service) for all the other Realtors and agents out there to know there was a new place available.
Then you would wait until either the right agent pulled the listing up for their buyer or someone would drive by and instantly fall in love with your home.
Thank goodness those are days gone by. Today's technology has brought marketing your home to a whole new level giving you a much better chance to sell. There are possibilities, both old and new, that can be used to market your home and if your Realtor isn't utilizing some of these, ask them why or if they could possibly do so. To be honest, if your agent is worth their weight they're either already using at least most of these techniques or beginning to implement them into their marketing techniques. This is the marketing of today's Real Estate world.
Online Techniques
The TNT (Tried 'n True) Techniques – this is the typical marketing techniques we've grown up with. Putting your sign in your yard, listing on the MLS, putting ads in newspapers or local Home Catalogs are all the "old fashioned" way that Realtors listed homes. There's nothing wrong with using the old ways because they can and do still work; but you have to make sure you utilize them along with the new age technique.
Social Media Marketing – Your agent should utilize their own business versions of each of the different Social Medias. These medias include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google+ and any other of the up and coming medias you see out there on the internet. How do they utilize these medias to sell your home?
Facebook – is the largest by far and should be the first place the marketing campaign starts! First by listing pictures of your house; begin with Facebook where your home gets tagged with your names so your friends and connections see that your home is for sale and their friends, etc. By listing on Facebook their own business friends, other agents, customers, potential buyers, etc. will see the listing also.
Next is Twitter – Posting a short Tweet with a link to their "newest listing" (your home) with a few quick comments. They can also post often with a link to their site which should list all of the homes they are currently listing, including yours.
On YouTube – they can post everything from a PowerPoint type of presentation to a virtual walk-through tour of your house or an introduction to their own website telling about the many homes they have.
On LinkedIn – the Realtor is generally linked with other agents and this will allow those who are connected outside of their own Brokerage Firm to know they have a new listing. There are others listed as their connections also that will see the listing.
The Agency or Realtor's website – should be very professional and specialize in showing all of their listings in a highly professional way. A virtual tour, not a click as you walk through style of tour, which gives you a 3-dimensional view of the homes they're listing.
Google+ – is the new kid on the block and many agents won't be listed here yet. It's growing in size and hoping to take over as "the new Facebook" but isn't even close yet. The G+ site should allow not only for pictures but they have a system where other people on Google can give it a "plus" and rate it so everyone can see the higher rated items.
Other Technologies
QR Codes are not all that new as marketing techniques and if you've owned a Smart Phone you know what they are. There are special apps that you can download and when you scan the QR Code, which looks like a block of black & white boxes, information about that product comes up. Realtors are now utilizing these QR Codes directly on the signs of homes, on any articles or print information about homes they're listing and anywhere they can place them. An interested consumer clicks their phone and takes a picture using the QR Code app which will then automatically take them to the mobile designed web page and can even give you a pop up which allows you to hit "Call Now" and reach the listing agent or their agency.
Email newsletters are another way many agencies and Realtors will keep in contact with their current and former clients. In these newsletters they can list their newest listings along with some interesting articles about real estate itself; whether it be trends or do-it-yourself articles. Delivering a note to potential buyers with pictures and links automatically allows the buyer to not only look at the information themselves but also perhaps share it with a friend that they know is looking for a home in your particular area or price range.
Marketing Is Continuously Changing
The marketing industry is continuously changing for every product line out there and real estate is a product line. Your agent should always be on top of the ever changing marketing techniques out there and even ahead of the crowd when it comes to developing their own techniques to showcase your house. Open houses do work but there are so many other ways to get the word out there that your home is for sale and on the market. Showcasing it in different ways that grab the attention of the buyer is always a plus. What it comes down to is making sure your agent not only knows and uses these techniques but keeps up on the newest techniques or discovers their own techniques as time goes on. In the end you want your home to sell and sell quickly!

Steven Gerrard believes he will be back in action for Liverpool against Fulham in 12 days after dismissing claims he could be out for more than three weeks and miss up to six matches.
The midfielder misses England's final World Cup qualifier against Poland at Old Trafford tomorrow with a shin-muscle strain sustained in the weekend victory over Austria.
Gerrard has had a scan at Liverpool's Melwood training complex. He said: "The injury is not as bad as people are saying."
He will be out for Liverpool's Premiership home game with Blackburn Rovers on Saturday and their Champions League game at Anderlecht next week. But Gerrard has targeted the trip to Fulham on Oct 22 for his comeback.
He said: "I heard it said on television that I will be out for three weeks, but I think I will be okay for the Fulham game. I had a scan straight after the England match and went to Melwood for treatment yesterday.
"The Liverpool medical staff are confident I'll be back after the next two games, so that is what I am aiming for. I picked up the knock during the England game and it was a bit of a worry at first, but it is not that serious."
Liverpool have been dealt a further blow after Real Betis winger Joaquin said he will not be moving to Anfield in the transfer window.
"At this time, leaving Real Betis isn't going through my mind - to go to Liverpool or any other team," he said. "I will end the season in Spain and afterwards decide the club, but I'm not thinking about my exit."
Portsmouth insist there is no rush to replace director of football Velimir Zajec after he announced his resignation for personal reasons yesterday, less than a year after arriving at Fratton Park.
Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie said: "It is a sad day for the club. Velimir was doing a good job but he has his reasons for leaving. There will be no hurry to name a replacement and we will wait and see how things settle down."
Bolton Wanderers have confirmed that Ricky Sbragia has been appointed first team coach following his successful spell with Manchester United's reserves.
Swindon Town face a winding-up order brought by the Inland Revenue for the second time this year. The Inland Revenue are claiming in excess of £200,000 and Swindon have a week to pay it.
Steve Thompson has taken over as Yeovil Town manager after Gary Johnson moved to West Country rivals Bristol City last month.
Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari will quit as coach of Portugal's national side after next year's World Cup finals, according to the president of the Portuguese Football Association, Gilberto Madail.

Fanatic! Currently in Cape Town, South Africa. Listening to Get That Fucking Light Out of My Face by Bugs and Rats. I went from Perth, Australia to Singapore, to Johannesburg to Cape Town. Very glad to be off airplanes for awhile. I still have a lot of flying to do before I get to Florida next week.
So, Fanatic, here we are again in the great month of October. I don't know what it means to you but for me, I take this month to listen to a lot of old music. I will have next to no time to listen to vinyl this month but I will see what I can do in Los Angeles in a few days when I am there for about 44 hours.
I just got word from Road Manager Ward that he has returned safely to USA and managed to get both his and my vinyl acquisitions back from Australia in one piece. It will take me awhile to get all those records gone through but I will, and as soon as I can, will get them onto the show.
The below playlist not only reflects some of the older music I listen to in this month but of course, new jams as well. We hope you dig it. Also, I hope you're listening to a lot of music in this great month.

Fiona Wilson taught me not just to understand more about interior design, but also to appreciate the intricacies of interior design and to see what's possible with simple techniques and choices.
Her catalogue of work speaks volumes about her creative nature, but also for her sense of professionalism and the high standards which she holds herself too.
I would highly recommend Fiona because of the quality of her work and also because of the friendly, good natured person that she is.

Very cold once again this morning. Stable airmass is now firmly established overhead — that means the upper elevations will start to warm up close to normal as the week progresses while the valleys will become inverted with cold air trapped. Urban haze is likely to develop as well.
We will be dry through the weekend with most of the storm energy passing to our north. Ridge of high pressure is parking itself just off the west coast which is sending storms up and into British Columbia. This will be the case through early next week. There is a small chance that the southern extent of moisture could clip far northern Utah on Friday with a snow shower, but no accumulations are likely.
The good news is that the three major long range models we use — ECMWF, GFS, and GEM — are all showing retrogression of the ridge farther out into the Pacific late next week. Potentially opening up the door for a storm system next Thursday or Friday (Dec 19-20). It's still a long way out so it's not a forecast quite yet but at this point we are just looking for light at the end of the tunnel.
The past two storms have helped our snowpack for sure. Here is the latest graphical view of the Snowbird snotel site (other snotel sites show similar numbers):
This year (green line) we are just below normal (about 80%) so far. Over the next week, we should fall to about 70% before the next storm arrives. Last year (red line) we had frequent small to medium storms through the whole month of December, then we hit January 1 and flatlined for almost a month, falling below average and never recovering. The other thing to consider is that this measures SWE (snow water equivalent) — or how much water is in the snowpack. We've had a few very low density snows recently. The actual snow depth is probably a bit closer to average than the SWE. Also consider that the cold air lately has allowed for plentiful snowmaking at resorts, so conditions really are quite good.
It's not even winter yet! We'll keep you updated on the potential for storms late next week!

Did you hear about the councils who are asking people to recycle their Halloween pumpkins? Thought not – but it's true.
There is nothing at all spooky about the request. In fact, it makes a great deal of sense in a day and age when we are being told to recycle all out waste and care for the environment.
When you consider that just one pumpkin weighs around three kilograms, and thousands of them have been a lantern-style feature illuminating the trick-or-treat excursions of countless ghosts and witches, that is an awful lot of additional waste.
Croydon council have, therefore, come up with, as Baldrick might have said, a 'cunning plan'. They have been urging residents in their neck of the woods to re-use the pumpkins. Using the tag-line of 'love food, hate waste', the council have suggested that, rather than just throwing the pumpkin away after using it as a lantern, people should make use of the seeds and flesh, which can be included as part of different recipes in food preparation.
It is understood that other councils have decided to follow suit.
They, too, have warmed to the notion that good food should not just be thrown away, as it could cause problems further down the line in the landfill operation.

Moods, another promising beat talent unearthed by the Fremdtunes crew, then laid down the hard to categorize beats with his "Stimulus" track before Atjazz displayed his remix talents with his take on Little Big Bee's, "Searchin" which is just one of 3CDs worth of remixes celebrating the golden touch of Atjazz soon to be released on R2 records. Vondelpark then kept the mellow vibes rolling but this time with a little house mix from Robag Wruhme before Scarper revived the ghosts of 808 State to end the show with "Surfing The Cosmic Belt" a little taste from their forthcoming EP on Plexus.

Inside: The real secret to Teaching Algebra in Homeschool.
I'm a liar.
What is worse? Getting caught by my 9th grader.
Now, I never meant to lie, most surely I did not.
I made a promise and got lazy.
There I was, sitting next to my 9th grader explaining his algebra lesson for the day when I was suddenly caught in my lie.
I had a sudden flashback to the time I broke a window as a little girl.
I was about 5 years old and was throwing rocks at the corner of the house. I missed.
Actually, I hit my mark.
I intentionally threw the rock at the window and it shattered.
I was five. I did not know I had the super-human ability to shatter glass!
I ran inside to try to fix the broken glass (because I was five) and cut my finger.
I was not only in trouble but dying from my wound. (yes, I was a drama queen).
Of course, my mom saw through my lie when I told her I was not trying to break the window. She was gracious with me, but I still remember the guilt over 40 years later like it was yesterday.
So there I was next to my son, stumbling over his lesson while trying to put up the front that I knew exactly what I was doing.
I am the teacher after all.
I couldn't let him know I lied to him when I told him I would always be at least one lesson ahead of him in math (so I would not confuse the tar out of him).
But there I was like Brer Rabbit stuck to the Tar Baby.
(I love Uncle Remus. If you have never read these aloud to your kids you are missing out!)
I had decided I had this "Algebra Thing" by the horns.
And then I didn't.
Question: What is the Most Critical Mistake to Avoid when Teaching Algebra (or challenging subject)
Answer: Faking itAs a Homeschooler, you may struggle with the math level your children are currently learning, but if you are no prepared you will frustrate them and set them up for failure. They may even just adopt our "You don't need this skill to buy milk" attitude and never press into the subject. By being unprepared, we teach our kids it's ok to do mediocre work. Yikes!Steps to Teaching Algebra (or other challenging Material)
1. Admit that it is challenging for you. Do not fake understanding.
- Set aside 30 minutes to study tomorrow's math/challenging subject.
- Take notes
- Do the lesson (I do at least half of my son's Algebra lesson before he does so I can explain it properly)
- Get help if needed. There are all kinds of online helps to assist you. Khan academy is one of my favorites.
- Work through the challenging material together. For instance, my son knows I do not remember chemistry or advanced biology. We work through the vocabulary and concepts together. But with math, I have to be a step ahead of him. Math is challenging enough without having your teacher say, "first, you do this. Wait, that's not right, try this. Shoot, that didn't work either."
3. Get Help. If you simply cannot figure out how to do the material, you can get your kids tutors. Not all tutors need to cost you an arm and a leg. It's not a crime to enroll your child in a high school or community college class either. Our local high school allows homeschoolers to take single classes. That's a great option. Our local community college allows students to take their junior and senior high school classes and they earn both high school and college credit.
He deserved better from me.

The world of genetics is moving so fast it is hard to keep up. Luckily one of my favorite writers on the subject Robert Plomin (together with Oliver Davies) has written an update on the genetics of child psychology and psychiatry in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry. There is a lot of information in the article regarding the latest genetic findings but the issue that stuck me most was about how our understanding about how genes work is changing. My understanding of genes was the classic model described succinctly by Plomin and Oliver as "a gene is a sequence of DNA that is transcibed into messenger RNA which is then translated into amino acid sequences, the building block of protein". The proteins then build to form brain structure, neurotransmitters etc.
The hunt has been on to find the genes that affect behavior and illness using this classic DNA process. There have been successes with a number of single gene neurological disorders identified such as Huntington's Chorea and PKU. For these conditions the gene has been located and the sequence from gene to protein to behavior is well documented. Unfortunately this process has not worked in discovering the genes for most other psychological/ psychiatric disorders or for behavior in general. Although it is clear that there is a substantial genetic component in behaviors such as IQ, reading and language and disorders such as ADHD and Autism, as shown by twin studies, the actual genes responsible have not been found. Recent arguments have focused on the idea that many genes may be involved in combination to influence such behaviors. Plomin's article however also raises another difficult issue. There may also be a problem with the standard DNA model as an explanation for gene- behavior effects. There are a number of puzzles regarding the standard coding DNA model. Firstly there are far fewer of these traditional genes than expected (about 24,000 in humans). Also they only make up about 2% of DNA, the other 98% were said to be junk, a byproduct of evolution. Another factor is how little these traditional genes vary between individuals and species for example simple worm like creatures called called nematodes have 19000 genes compared to the 24000 in humans. Are we not that much different to nematodes? Chimpanzees share 99.4% of DNA coding genes with humans.
Plomin and Oliver show that part of the problem may be that we have not focused on the way that RNA works. Out of the 98% thought to be junk DNA about 1/2 does produce RNA but not the type of RNA that codes for amnio acids. Instead the non coding RNA 'plays an important role in regulating the expression of the protein coding DNA'. RNA is also much more complicated than once thought and many different types of RNA have now been identified, including microRNA, tRNA, snRNA, rasiRNA, snoRNA, etc. How RNA works is explained in detail in the article but that explanation is too detailed to describe here other than to say that there is much more variation between individuals and species in terms of their RNA profile and that it is the RNA that may hold the key to understanding more complex gene behavior effects. The implication of these findings according to Plomin and Oliver is that we should be analyzing the whole genomes of individuals rather than searching for individual genes. This is becoming cheaper and easier to do but so far the results are still very limited.
My take home message from the article was that genes and their effects are not as simple as most people believe and as much of the media describes. It is very unlikely that we will find the gene for Autism, for IQ or for being gay. Instead such behavior is likely to be the result of a complex interaction of many different genes, with different types of RNA dictating how the genes are expressed which in turn will probably be influenced by factors in the environment. Hugh discoveries are being made all the time but I think the more that is known the more complex it all seems.
Simon Baron Cohen one of the leading researchers in autism suggests that individuals with autism have a drive to systemise i.e to analyse, explore and construct systems. This is the opposite to empathising which requires understanding other people's emotions and thoughts which is difficult for individuals with autism. A study in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disabilites reports a new therapy for children with autism based on this theory. In the study children with high functioning autism were given a intervention consisting of playing with lego in a group on a weekly basis. Lego was chosen as it is a systemising toy which children with autism would feel more comfortable with. Using Lego in the context of a social group with clear social rules seems to have been effective. The study reports improved social interaction scores and reduced maladative behaviour. I believe that Simon Baron Cohen's theory makes a lot of sense and it is good to see the theory resulting in effective intervention. As Simon Baron Cohen has described in the past it is important to understand how children with autism process the world and then to help them to live with their condition.

Monique Lhuillier creates elegant wedding gown for Anne Curtis
Actress Anne Curtis Smith must have felt like an angel when she wore her custom-made gown by world-renowned Filipino designer Monique Lhuillier.
The daughter of pawnshop mogul Michel Lhuillier and Dr. Amparito Llamas must have been riding on a unicorn when she thought of the design for Anne's wedding dress. With its delicate lace and dramatic bustle skirt, the Lhuillier design indeed befits the beautiful bride.
How utterly perfect – both gown and bride!

Scientific Methods Used in Physics
Physics attempts to describe and explain the physical universe. Physicists therefore try to discover one or more laws—invariable principles of nature at work—that will describe a large class of phenomena. Newton's law of gravitation is a fine example. Another is the law of reflection—"the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence."
Physicists express these laws in mathematical form, which can serve later as a basis for measurements and calculations. For example, Newton's…

Amazon disputes $294M EU tax bill, eyes appeal
E-commerce giant Amazon has said it disagrees with the EU's assessment of its tax liabilities, adding that it will consider an appeal at the Europe's top court.
"We believe that Amazon did not receive any special treatment from Luxembourg and that we paid tax in full accordance with both Luxembourg and international tax law," the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
The European Commission had said on Wednesday that Luxembourg provided illegal tax benefits worth 250 million euros ($294 million) to Amazon between 2003 and 2011.
"Luxembourg gave illegal tax benefits to Amazon. As a result, almost three-quarters of Amazon's profits were not taxed," Margrethe Vestager, European commissioner for competition, said in a statement.
Vestager said that Amazon was allowed to pay four times less tax than other local companies, which is illegal under EU state aid rules.
Amazon said it will study the commission's ruling and consider its legal options, including an appeal.
"Our 50,000 employees across Europe remain heads-down focused on serving our customers and the hundreds of thousands of small businesses who work with us," the company added.
A commission investigation that began in 2014 concluded that a tax ruling issued by Luxembourg for the years 2003-2011 lowered the tax paid by Amazon there without any valid justification.

Just curious on your thoughts. My hotel provides me a list every week of how many rooms have been booked, complete with the names of those who have booked them.
2 months to go and we have 30 rooms booked, so I'm really excited!
The one thing that kind of irks me is that I see names on the hotel list for people that haven't sent in their RSVP. You can call the hotel or do an online booking, but you can't send in the stamped envelope and check off a box? Lol. I'm not really mad, it just boggles me.
Would you say it's OK to call or email some of the people who've done this and say something? If yes, what to say? I want to keep it positive and just clarify – i know there's a chance their RSVP maybe got lost in the mail.
I have very little time from the time RSVPs are due to make up the table plans, so the sooner I can confirm people, the better.

I'm at that stage in life where I and a number of my childhood friends are losing our parents. Classmates who attended Sewanee Public School and then Sewanee Academy are returning to Sewanee to help their parents move into retirement homes, support them as they lose a spouse, and be with them as they die.
I have witnessed the death of two friends' mothers—these women were also my friends—over the past three weeks and, perhaps like countless others in the presence of the dying, have found myself repeating lines from Dylan Thomas's best-known poem. One of them went fairly gently into that good night and the other did not, but I now think that Thomas gives terrible advice. In fact, eloquent though the poem is, it is currently pissing me off.
Its one virtue is that it gave me something to push against. Here it is:
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
There is a "should" in the first stanza, as though the speaker is prescribing how one is to die: since "old age should burn and rave at close of day," therefore you should "rage, rage against the dying of the light." But what of those instances where old age isn't burning and raving and where it doesn't want to rage? Isn't it at least acceptable, and probably even preferable, to go gently? Certainly I found myself wishing for gentle acceptance as I watched one old friend struggle against her daughter trying to help her and then, when she finally became oblivious to her surroundings, hang on day after day.
If one adds a "should" to the subsequent stanzas, then it's almost as though the poet is angry that people aren't struggling as much as he would like them to. Isn't he saying, in stanza two, that those who haven't said or written memorable things—whose words have "forked no lightning"—should be filled with regret and rage? And, in stanza three, that those whose "frail deeds" haven't danced as brightly as they might have should feel the same? As should the wild men (stanza four) who lived for the moment and the grave men (stanza five) who are resigned to death?
In short, it sounds like Thomas is agonizing over his own regrets and wants the dying to suffer as he is suffering. I suppose this is an honest description of his feelings and maybe he's using the presence of death to add new urgency to his own life. Still, he sounds narcissistic as hell. Why should others behave a certain way just so he can deal better with his own anxieties?
Does he want, out of his psychological neediness, for the dying to suffer the regrets of Doctor Faustus, who dies in one of literature's most excruciating death bed scenes? Hell is redundant for Marlowe's protagonist since he suffers hell when he (appearing to follow Dylan Thomas's advice) looks back at his wasted potential, his missed opportunities and his misspent life.
So no, Dylan, don't wish those regrets on anyone. Here's what you should wish for instead, from a Tolstoy character whose words haven't exactly forked lightning and whose deeds haven't danced in a green bay:
"Yes, I am making them wretched," he thought. "They are sorry, but it will be better for them when I die." He wished to say this but had not the strength to utter. "Besides, why speak? I must act," he thought. With a look at his wife he indicated his son and said: "Take him away…sorry for him…sorry for you too…." He tried to add, "Forgive me," but said "Forego" and waved his hand, knowing that He whose understanding mattered would understand.
And suddenly it grew clear to him that what had been oppressing him and would not leave him was all dropping away at once from two sides, from ten sides, and from all sides. He was sorry for them, he must act so as not to hurt them: release them and free himself from these sufferings. "How good and how simple!" he thought. "And the pain?" he asked himself. "What has become of it? Where are you, pain?"
He turned his attention to it.
"Yes, here it is. Well, what of it? Let the pain be."
"And death…where is it?"
He sought his former accustomed fear of death and did not find it. "Where is it? What death?" There was no fear because there was no death.
In place of death there was light.
"So that's what it is!" he suddenly exclaimed aloud. "What joy!"
To him all this happened in a single instant, and the meaning of that instant did not change. For those present his agony continued for another two hours. Something rattled in his throat, his emaciated body twitched, then the gasping and rattle became less and less frequent.
"It is finished!" said someone near him.
He heard these words and repeated them in his soul.
"Death is finished," he said to himself. "It is no more!"
He drew in a breath, stopped in the midst of a sigh, stretched out, and died.
Why wouldn't you wish for those you love to experience Ivan Ilych's last moments? Enough with demanding fierce tears.

The evidence: Water in sand dams is clean
The water stored in sand dams is clean. The people we support to build them have been telling us this for many years. And, now a London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine MSc study provides robust scientific support of this view. This is important for informing users about their water source and helping people to make decisions about how to best use their sand dams.
The methods:
Water quality was assessed in a random sample of 29 Excellent Development and Africa Sand Dam Foundation built sand dams in Makueni County, Kenya. The tests looked for World Health Organisation (WHO) indicator bacteria called Thermotolerant coliforms (TTCs). TTCs are found in the faeces of warm-blooded animals. High levels of TTCs in a water sample suggests that high numbers of disease-causing organisms are present. The absence of TTCs suggests that the water is safe for people to drink.
The results:
Of the 29 dams tested, 24 were 100% free of TTCs. Of the five dams where minute numbers of TTCs were detected, all were considered to be very low risk. Statistical extrapolation suggests that all sand dams store water that poses no or very low health risk to people.
What does it mean?
The WHO recommends that drinking water should contain no TTCs. However, many nations and experts in the field consider this unrealistic. Even some water utilities serving remote communities in the UK would fail to meet these WHO standards. Uganda has a limit of 50 TTCs per 100ml of drinking water and Swaziland has a limit of 10 TTCs per 100ml. The highest number of TTCs found in our sand dams was three per 100ml.
What next?
This is great news. But, it is still possible that water may be contaminated upon abstraction, transport or storage. Further work is planned to evaluate which abstraction technique presents the least risk of contamination. This will help the communities we work with to make informed decisions about how to use their sand dam water - making even safer use of their closest safe water source.
The median number of WHO indicator bacteria per 100ml of water stored in sand dams was zero

I am a 42yr old ex-squaddie and we have recently found out my 34yr old wife (mother of 3) has been diagnosed with COPD following her being hospitalised for 18 days in
July / August 2012 with a pneumothorax and clinical emphysema.
She has always been slim, suffered from asthma, suffers from depression / anxiety, has arryhtmia and was admitted to DRI with pneumonia in 2008 followed by further lung problems in 2010 (x-ray showed a shadow on her lung).
To top it all off we live apart and have 2 children together one is diagnosed as having conduct disorder and the second has been suggested as possibly having aspergers.
I understand this is a lot to take into account but to be honest I'm petrified I'm going to loose her and I want to know how long we really have left together.
She has stopped smoking and now weighs 8st.
PLEASE someone give me the answers because the Dr will not give me a straight anwer to any of this...
With thanks for any advice or answers,

I'm excited that Sue's book Collage Paint Draw will arrive very soon to the F+W warehouse. I know Mary Beth Shaw is as well because she recently tried some techniques from the book and will be sharing what she learned in a very cool online live event next week—Mary Beth Shaw's April Book Club April with Sue Pelletier. (And actually, if you want an advance look at the book, check out this bundle offer. You can purchase the ebook and online event together and save some money.)
It's a lot of fun hearing from an author exactly what the book publishing experience is like. I recently asked Sue a series of questions about the process of writing her book and here is what she had to share with us.
Writing My Book by Sue Pelletier
During the process of writing my book, I discovered I'm much more organized than I ever thought I was. Organized to the point that my zip lock bags of supplies for my step-by-step photo shoot had smaller zip lock bags of supplies inside them. Often I go through life "winging it" a bit. There is literally no "winging it if you are writing a book." It is not just the deadlines that have to be met; it is the details, the details the details. It is like putting a puzzle together everything has to fit just right.
At one point, I had a moment of panic when I thought I had lost everything on my computer. I bought a new computer after I began the book, but I realized I liked my old one more. I felt a bit Jack Keorac writing my manuscript on my ancient computer (sorry Jack, not typewriter); it just felt right. But then it literally died one night. At the time my fabulous book editor, Beth Erikson, had everything I had written up to that point, but I panicked because you keep going over everything you write and create and I really needed it on my old computer. Both computers went to the shop and I was able to get all my work transferred from the old computer to the new computer—images, documents, everything. I have since fallen in love with my new computer so it's all good. However, I would still be writing away on that old one if I could . . . .
In practicing the "art of letting go," I felt lighter after I relinquished control over the final design and visual impact the book would have. Although it is all my artwork, the design team and editor really put the book together so it is cohesive and looks like eye candy. My book had three different covers and two titles and although I loved all three, I feel they really captured what my book is about with the third and final cover and title. So I trusted the design team, but being a visual person, it was tough to do. In then end, they were spot on. I love the way the book looks and feels!
I'd consider it a dream-come-true if a beginner artist told me my book had had a positive impact on him/her. I truly believe everyone is an artist and often you just need to know the right gel medium to use to make it happen.
Publishing this book has inspired me to try something new, which is writing a second book on mixed-media art for children. I have taught elementary school art for twenty-six years and I am constantly inspired with the freedom and joy that comes through in children's art. I teach K-5 and bamn! Most of them put that brush, ink, marker, whatever down with no fear. That amazes me each and every day.
My hope for the person who picks up my book is that I'll have changed his/her perspective on having the confidence to use non-traditional materials in his/her work.
I am not a purist. I like to wander the aisles of hardware stores and junk shops and think, what can I add or layer into a painting with? I adore working with plaster and vintage fabrics; there is something very therapeutic about dipping vintage fabric in plaster and warm water and adhering it onto a canvas. I would almost have to say it does not get better than that.
If I could only show others one spread in my book, I would share the acknowledgments and dedication pages. I love all the artwork I created in the book, but without the love of my kids and the support of others I am not sure it would have happened.
One bit of advice I'd give to anyone wanting to write a book would be: Go for it! Since I have been in second grade, I have wanted to write a book. It just took me forty-five years to figure out what it was going to be about. How fortunate am I that I wrote a book, created the artwork in the book and wrote the steps to create the artwork? Full Circle!
My most humorous "behind the scenes" moment writing this book would have to be: I literally use water-based oil pastels on every painting. As I was packing my supplies to head to Ohio to do the photo shoot I kept picking up packages of the pastels thinking, I must have about eight sets of these packed already. When I got to the photo studio and was unpacking my supplies, guess what was missing? Pastels! Thank goodness for my editor Beth was able to make phone calls and we found a store that carried the product I used. Needless to say, now I do not travel without my water based oil pastels.
If I had to write the book over again, I'd spend more time enjoying the process and less worrying about the deadlines. The deadlines were always met, but those dates always in the back of my head stressed me out!

Outside the Classroom
A good part of your education at BU won't take place in a classroom or lecture hall. In fact, you may find some of your best learning experiences in a biomedical engineering laboratory, a Boston corporate office or a rainforest in Ecuador.
Boston University is a community of doers—students who seek experiences in the world around them to enrich their classroom learning. They not only study abroad but also pursue internships around the globe. Rather than simply reading marine biology textbooks, they take to the waters off coastal Massachusetts. And to learn about art history, they experience it personally by spending a semester painting in Italy.
We encourage these co-curricular activities by offering hundreds of them—a diversity of programs to enrich every curriculum and appeal to every personality type. A significant number of students participate in some type of research project, study-abroad program or internship during their four years here.
