TO: My Sweet Little 表妹
Tonight, I heard this new song by Hedly called Perfect. In this one line where they keep repeating: "I'm not perfect, but I keep trying, cuz that's what I said I would do from the start…," it gave me the chills.
I miss my parents, I have no idea what I've been doing lately. I'm anxiously waiting for my results from MBiotech and ever since my interview I've been praying for this spot. I feel so helpless… 2 years of preparation and I blew one of the parts of the interview, how can I afford to slip like that. I really hope they can see past it. Preparing for this made me want this even more that I can't imagine doing anything else. Waiting to graduate, waiting for results, waiting for the next step for me…. I need the extra bit of motivation to push me through the finish line.
I feel like I'm not doing the right things, I feel like I'm making bad decisions again. How can I stop feeling this way?
I don't have any summer plans.. I can't even ask my supervisor about research in the summer because what if I get in? But if I don't and I don't let her know that I want to work as a summer student again, I will loose the chance.. I'm really lost… I don't have any backups…. when this program is what you wanna do, how can you write another personal letter for another program? So I've been holding back on writing other apps. Why am I pushing myself into this hole… I know I should be doing better right now. I just can't find the motivation to make a strong finish. I wish someone could tell me what to do…. what happens when I don't get into the program, what's my next step?
I'm not a perfect student, I'm not a perfect person, but I strive for perfection. What happens when perfection just doesn't fall through in the end? It's up to the admissions committee to decide who they want to accept, argh 32 spots… I want it so bad. I've been dreaming of that one day, when I can work in GSK… or Genentech and family will seem complete again.
Tonight was my chemistry exam, I knew it was going to be hard. I gave up alot of things to prepare for this exam and I feel disappointed in myself. I knew everything but during the test, I don't know why, the things I memorized just couldn't come out. I guess I wasn't as prepared as I thought and maybe I just crammed way too many reagents in my head.
Whenever people say, maybe some things are just meant to be.. I don't know if I believe in that. I'm not sure if there is a thing called fate or destiny. I now believe that it is up in our hands to create our own destiny. A person who believes in fate, who just sits there and wait… it all seems too idealistic. All the way through I had to figure alot of things out on my own… I just think if I just let things take its course, I wouldn't be standing close to where I am now. But at the same time, I can't help but feel that there's also up to a certain point where it's also up to fate, like right now with my admission decision. So, is all the work up to now really even worth it when in the end, when it's still out of your hands? Just something to think about for people who read this and were in a similar situation.
I'm feeling like a failure right now. Unlike others, this isn't an option for me because of the circumstances I'm in. I wish I could explain but it's just way too complicated.
I wish I could drive…. I was thinking if I got a license here, just to get out of city for a bit…. go somewhere far away from the lights and the people. Nobody seems to understand what it does for me. Like being somewhere close to the lake or the waters, is what I need to regain my energy, I don't know how to explain it, it's just what I used to do and it works. Yesterday night, I was laying in bed thinking about the days I used to go to driving range…. an activity that can get my mind off of school for a while. Or playing the piano. I used to do that…All the things that I used to do to relax me seem so far away and out of reach.
RE: The above entry
Ah, how I love watching little kids grow up… 🙂 You're such a big girl now! Nevertheless, one always wants to strive for their best and to reach for their achievements, but perfection is not we should seek. We definitely should seek satisfaction but not through the believe we are perfect individuals with an absolute and irrefutable goal. To seek perfection in anything you do is like trying to grab at sand really hard – it is futile.
To feel homesick or simply missing family and friends who you have grown up with is not an unusual feeling. During times of our greatest need is when we feel most vulnerable and know that we can only rely on our family as back-up. No matter how great friends are and the joys of happiness they may bring, family is the only true source of unparalleled love and unconditional support. The interviewers do not expect perfection, they expect a human being, they expect a person capable of learning, they expect a person who's mistakes are reflected and learned upon – they are not looking for someone who is perfect. We are all human and unless they are that of a holy spirit who are perfect themselves, they can bring no such expectations upon others. The motivation you bring, is stronger than mistakes and that willpower can be served elsewhere, regardless of whether you make it into a specific company or not. Where there is a will, there is a way – and that way might be or might not be where you think life may take you. Motivation cannot be generated by others, it is something that comes from within you. I could tell you all day to believe in yourself, but alas, if you do not believe in it yourself, no amount of confidence from others can help push you through.
A decision is a decision, with the ideal of "right" or "wrong" emplaced by our own standards. If you believe the decisions you have made are wrong – then they are wrong. If you believe decisions you have made are right, no one else can convince you they are wrong. Trusting our own judgments, believe in ourselves and knowing that no one decision leads to a final end will help you come to terms with decisions you make. For every step you take forward, you can take one step back – even if step-back is not in the exact same position you once stood. When things are conditional upon others, there is nothing we can do. In this world, there is only one-true thing we can control, and that is ourselves. To question things beyond our control is like questioning the meaning of life. Things will fall into or out-of-place whether we like it or not, so we should just let life run its course. On that note, to worry about whether you will or will not make it in and whether it would be necessary to reapply to the research program is unnecessary. I believe it is best to simply leave your options open and be honest with people. If you let them know of the situation, they're more likely to sympathize and act out of humanly towards a situation. It is always best to be honest, than to leave someone blind. Rather than being definitive, simply inform people of the plans and possibilities, that way, they are more open to changes that may occur in the future.
There are many things we want in life, as humans, we crave for more and that craving is what allows society to progress. There is great strength you have for wanting to work at a place you feel comfortable and where you feel you are accomplishing the most. However, when we set goals like that,we never take time to look past at other opportunities that may be right in our faces or perhaps, worthy of consideration. You never know where life takes you, it may lead to where you want to go or it may lead you to where you never thought was once possible. Rather than expecting, simply believe, or better yet – being neither pessimistic nor optimistic but rather, a job is never the start, nor end of a career as many things will change as time progresses. What you may be doing today may not be what you're doing tomorrow – for better, or for worse.
There is no "trick" to doing well on exams, and the only thing that a person can really do to prepare is with a semester-wide commitment to regular studying habits. Last minute studies rarely work out, things absorb so much better when done over time. Also, your mind works clearly when your body is in optimal condition and all that starts with one thing, a good night's rest. The more you stick in your head the night before, the more likely you will confuse your brain with other things that have been long-term embedded and learned. All of a sudden, all that information you did know has now been mixed in with information which you have only recently processed. I think the word "cramming" already has implications on itself – the act of "cramming" already has a negative connotation.
Fate and destiny are very hard subjects to approach. However, something that is undeniable is that there are things that we as an individual, simply cannot change. Whether you consider this an act of fate or destiny is up to you. While it is quite true that sitting around "waiting" for fate or destiny to act upon itself is idealistic, there truly happen just by, "being in the right place at the right time." There are times when hard work and effort are fruitless and where negativity and lack of effort yields amazing results. Our destiny and fate are often not controlled by us, but really, in the hands of all the environment and people around us. What we cannot see and touch – it is best to be blind to, we are an observer at all things in life.
Take advantage of the fact you life in an accessible region, where renting/buying a vehicle is easy. Pick up your license, you will need it! If not, find a way of taking transportation to get you where you want to go. There is salvation in humanity and "heaven" is only a step away when we allow ourselves to relax and enjoy our surroundings. Hell is the place we suffer and feel tormented by the stresses of life and worries beyond our control. Whatever you can do to make yourself feel better, do it. Put away responsibilities and obligations for the day, they can wait. You on the other hand, always place your own priorities first. If you are not feeling happy, nothing you do will seem right. When you are feeling happy, nothing you do can feel wrong. You are surrounded by little towns to big cities, I'm sure there are plenty of places that will offer you what you need to release all that tension within you. We are like an elastic band, stretch it too much and there is only one consequence that you will be the one who ends up suffering. With good maintenance and knowing when the expand and contract, the elastic band will serve you a lifetime of usefulness.

The first thing people tell me when they meet Leland is "Oh my goodness, he looks JUST LIKE JUDE!" They are very right about that. These boys have such similar facial characteristics, it's unreal. The way their lips purse, the unique chins they both have, and even how their cheeks are shaped...not to mention their coloring.
It's fun for me, however, in the day-to-day to notice the differences in them:
Jude was the fussiest baby on the block
Leland is the happiest baby on the block
Jude refused to breastfeed
Leland is ALL about it
Jude wanted to be held, bounced, rocked, walked
Leland appreciates alone time
Jude slept through the night at 9wks
Leland....hmm...any day now???
Jude smiled here and there at this age (10wks)
Leland smiles at a pair of socks being folded
Jude was frustrated by crazy sounds, normal sounds, any sounds
Leland LOVES stimuli by sight and sound (He will swing while his dad plays piano for 30 minutes)
I love their differences...I am learning to expect the unexpected. What an adventure this is!
Jude @ 12wks, Leland @ 8wks

Have you ever stood and gazed at the selection of eggs at a grocery store and wondered what the differences are? Thanks to a new BC SPCA video, you might just find the choices much less overwhelming.
"We're pleased to announce a new 30-minute video to accompany our classroom unit, Cluck! – The Life of an Egg-Laying Chicken," says Paula Neuman, humane education manager for the BC SPCA. Internationally renowned poultry expert Ian Duncan, from the University of Guelph, narrates the basic physiological and social needs of hens, and how these needs are met in various housing systems including a conventional battery cage operation and a state-of-the-art SPCA Certified free-range system. "We take people through the entire egg laying process, showing how biological needs such as dust-bathing, perching, nest building and foraging are met in modern housing systems – or not met," says Neuman.
"Though the classroom unit has been written for a younger, school-aged audience, the video is informative for people of all ages wanting to know more about how hens are raised," says Neuman. "Because of biosecurity issues, people can't just walk onto a farm to see how farm animals are raised. Cluck! is the next best thing," adds Craig Naherniak, BC SPCA general manager, humane education.
The Cluck! video and the video and unit package for educators will be available for purchase mid-October. To request an update when the DVD is released or to learn more contact us.

John Egan felt Friday's loss at home to West Brom represented a missed opportunity for the Blades.
Speaking after the Baggies came from behind to win at Bramall Lane, despite David McGoldrick early opener, the Republic of Ireland international admitted the Blades were punished for not capitalising on a positive start to the contest.
He commented: "It's a very disappointing result, we were on top first-half, the better side and deservedly took the lead.
"We could and probably should have been further in front, then on half-time we concede a goal, their only chance of the half.
"That gave them a lift and second-half we seemed a yard off the pace across the pitch and they took control. It's very disappointing having started well, we should have built on our dominance.
"We should have come in at half-time with the advantage and really kicking on, the second-half just wasn't us and we handed it to them really."
Egan added: "They've got quality, but we showed them we have too, we needed to extend the lead when on top.
"What you can't do at this level is concede goals at poor times and give quality opposition the leg up. We wanted to win the game, but we became sloppy and second best, they improved, and we dropped off."

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — It turns out, a painting that has been at St. Olaf College for nearly 20 years may be more than just a generous gift.
Experts are now analyzing it because they believe it may be the work of Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. The portrait depicts violinist Eva Mudocci.
It was donated to St. Olaf College in 1999 as part of a gift of 2,000 pieces of art from alumnus Richard Tetlie.
There's now belief the portrait is far more valuable than anyone imagined.
The painting shows a woman standing on an ornate rug with a piano in the background.
"Recently, it hung in the president's residence in the dining room above the credenza," said Jane Becker Nelson, director of the Flaten Art Museum at St. Olaf. "President Anderson and his wife loved to talk about it at dinner parties."
Art experts believe the portrait was created between 1900 and 1904 when violinist Eva Mudocci posed for painter Edvard Munch in Berlin, Germany.
A woman writing a book about Eva recently contacted St. Olaf when she discovered letters the violinist and painter wrote to each other and auction records that identify the existence of an unfinished portrait.
"It was then that we learned a lot more about the relationship between Eva and Edvard, and we learned there is really good reason to believe it may be an authentic Munch painting," Nelson said.
Experts from the Scientific Analysis of Fine Arts are now collecting samples from the portrait so they can conduct tests.
"Being able to zero in on exactly what pigments were used helps us understand if it's viable that Edvard Munch did paint this picture," Nelson said.
Munch is famous for "The Scream," which sold at auction for $120 million.
So what if the portrait of Eva turns out to be the real deal?
"We jump for joy. We are thrilled and like everything in our museum we keep using it as a research tool and a teaching tool," Nelson said.
It should take about six weeks to see what test results reveal about the painting. The portrait will remain at St. Olaf College and not be sold.

About Her
Living… in Detroit, where she has become a call girl, working for the dreaded pimp Drexl Spivey.
Profession… prostitute for about four days. Alabama has recently gotten into this line of work and doesn't really enjoy the sleaziness of it. But her work does present some gems of hope. One night she is secretly hired to show Clarence Worley, a comic book store clerk, a good time on his birthday. The two of them immediately fall in love and decide to get married. Clarence swears to free her of her domineering pimp, Drexl, and take her on the ride of her life.
Interests… guys who work at comic book stores called "Heroes for Sale," the idea of moving to Los Angeles, and a dangerous life on the road.
Relationship Status… married. Although she jumped very quickly into her relationship with Clarence, she has no doubts whatsoever, and loves him the way the sun loves the moon. They are a dynamic duo, protecting one another from the horrors of the world, which they both know all too well.
Challenge… making a life for herself with Clarence, which means first escaping her life as a prostitute. It won't be easy; Alabama is controlled by Drexl with an iron fist. But after she quits her job, there will be a whole new host of problems, including how they will make money and where they will live – not to mention surviving the whole trip…
Personality… timid, caring, ditsy, and optimistic. She comes across as innocent – not the kind of woman you would expect to become a call girl. She holds herself in high esteem and treats others with respect.

|Mon 16 Sep 2013, 6:30pm–8:00pm
During September BrisScience will once again present The University of Queensland's annual Research Week Public Lectures. This year's talks are:
How are new medicines discovered?
Prof Jenny Martin, Institute of Molecular Bioscience, The University of Queensland
Ever wondered how new drugs are discovered? Sometimes it's a case of serendipity. Sometimes it involves synchrotron science, and sometimes the key requirement is sheer single-mindedness. One thing you can be sure of, chemistry is always front and center. That's because drugs work by interacting chemically with a biological target. In this lecture, find out how drugs have been discovered over the last century and learn how the combination of chemistry, computation, and crystallography has revolutionized drug design. The lecture will also highlight current research on the design of new antibacterials to combat the growing problem of antibiotic resistance.
Prof Jenny Martin originally trained as a pharmacist before doing her PhD in protein crystallography and drug design at the University of Oxford. After a postdoctoral post at Rockefeller University in New York, Jenny returned to Australia in 1993 to establish the first protein crystallography laboratory in Queensland. She has held several prestigious Fellowships and is currently an ARC Australian Laureate Fellow at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience, University of Queensland.
As a leader in her field, she has chaired the National Committee for Crystallography of the Australian Academy of Science, is a past President of the Society for Crystallographers in Australia and New Zealand and former member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Australian Synchrotron. Jenny is the recipient of many honours including the ASBMB Roche Medal, the Queensland Smart Women Smart State Research Scientist award, and the Women in Biotech Outstanding Outstanding Biotechnology Achievement Award.
Saving the Planet one Ocean at a Time
Prof Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, Global Change Institute, The University of Queensland
Planet Earth is dominated by a warm salty ocean that is probably unique among tens of thousands of planets. Vibrant with life, this ocean has nurtured our beginnings and is vital to our future. Increasing numbers of people, fishing, pollution and now global warming and acidification have driven up stress levels to a point where key planetary services by the Ocean are now under threat, demanding major intervention if we are to avoid a planetary disaster. The good news is that a massive global movement is now under way among science, business, philanthropy and the public to save our precious blue planet.
Ove Hoegh-Guldberg is Professor of Marine Studies and Director of the Global Change Institute at the University of Queensland. The Global Change Institute focuses on large-scale challenges such as healthy oceans, food security and renewable energy which require multidisciplinary solutions. Projects pioneered by the Institute include Australia's largest roof-top photovoltaic array and first zero-carbon/zero-waste building.
Ove has spent his life studying marine ecosystems from Mexico to Antarctica, with a focus on coral reefs. His work in this area since then has attracted international attention and has earned him a Eureka prize in 1999, the Queensland Smart State Premiers Fellowship in 2007, and an ARC Laureate Fellowship in 2012.
Ove is currently serving as a Coordinating Lead Author of Chapter 30 (The Oceans) in the Fifth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change due to be released in 2014.
Arrangements: Doors open at 6pm. No need to book – just show up!

Contractual wages and salaries
The index of wages according to collective labour agreements measures the evolution of wages and salaries (per employee or per hour) determined by contractual provisions set by collective agreements; the indices are calculated with reference to the fixed employment structure of the base period (December 2010).
At the end of September 2017 the coverage rate (share of national collective agreements in force for the wage setting aspects) was 58.7 per cent in terms of employees and 55.8 per cent in terms of the total amount of wages.
In September 2017 the hourly index and the per employee index were unchanged from last month, while increased by 0.2 per cent respect to July .
Compared with September 2016 the hourly index and the per employee index rose by 0.6 per cent.
During the period January-September 2017 the hourly index increased by 0.4 per cent while the per employee index rose by 0.5 per cent compared to the same period of the previous year.

Ashlyn Anderson, Lincoln Davidson, Lauren Dickey, Darcie Draudt, William Piekos, and Ariella Rotenberg look at the top stories in Asia today.
1. Up to 440 presumed dead after Chinese cruise ship capsizes. A Yangtze River cruise ship sank during a torrential rainstorm in Hubei Province Monday evening. While emergency services rushed to respond, four days later only fourteen passengers have been rescued, making this the most deadly peacetime maritime disaster in China's recent history. Concerned, as usual, about media representations of tragic events, Chinese censors quickly sent out an order to media outlets to stop dispatching reporters to the scene and only run reports from Xinhua and CCTV, and authorities on site began turning away journalists and even some rescue workers. That response may represent a change from a previous strategy of information denial to one more concerned with shaping public perceptions.
2. Secretary Carter travels to Asia to add oomph to the U.S. rebalance. On a ten-day trip across the Asia Pacific, U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter made stops in Hawaii, Singapore, Vietnam, and India. Carter attended the change-of-command ceremonies for the U.S. Pacific Command and U.S. Pacific Fleet before traveling to partner countries in South and Southeast Asia to shift into the "next phase of the rebalance." In Singapore, Carter delivered the keynote address at the Shangri-La Dialogue in which he emphasized a shared regional architecture to connect and create opportunities for Asia-Pacific people and nations. The South China Sea featured prominently in his meetings in Vietnam and India. With the Vietnamese defense minister, Carter proposed a complete end to island militarization and reclamation projects. Carter also pledged $18 million to help Vietnam purchase American patrol boats. In India, Carter and his counterpart renewed the defense framework agreement and ramped up defense cooperation under the Defense Technology and Trade Initiative.
3. U.S. government employees' data breached by Chinese hackers. Four million current and former federal government employees' personal data was accessed starting late last year by hackers based in China, the Obama administration announced Thursday. The hackers, who the New York Times claims are the same group that hacked health insurance companies Anthem and Primera, obtained personal identifying information for the employees held by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), including Social Security numbers. While the attack comes just a week after the Chinese government released a white paper on military strategy advocating a more active approach to cyberspace, it's unlikely that the attack came from the Chinese government, as the data stolen would be more useful to criminals than intelligence analysts. Chinese authorities agree, calling the Obama administration's claims "unverified … irresponsible and unscientific." Prior to the announcement of the OPM breach, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spent the week pointing to a report that Chinese government agencies have been the target of a state-backed hacker group for three years as evidence that the PRC is the "biggest victim" of cyberattacks.
4. South Korea reports four deaths in MERS outbreak. The latest death brings the outbreak's fatality rate in South Korea to 9.8 percent; the worldwide death rate is 27 percent, reports the WHO. Also on Friday, the Ministry of Health and Welfare also announced five new cases of the disease and also identified the hospital in Pyeongtaek, a city about thirty-five miles from Seoul, where the outbreak originated. MERS was also found in an Korean Air Force sergeant stationed at a U.S. base in South Korea; 6 Korean civilians and 164 Korean soldiers were put in quarantine. The total number of people diagnosed with MERS in South Korea is 41.
5. Remembering Tiananmen. This Thursday, June 4, marked the twenty-sixth anniversary of the crackdown on protestors in Beijing's Tiananmen Square; tens of thousands turned out for the annual candlelight vigils in Hong Kong. However, in the wake of the 2014 Umbrella Movement, this year there were competing rallies and divisions over the purpose of the gatherings, as Hong Kong residents question their identity, Hong Kong's relationship with mainland China, and the next step for democracy protests. Back on the mainland, though, not much changed from previous years, as censorship was the word of the day. WeChat users were even unable to transfer money in amounts related to the Tiananmen incident—64, for June 4, and 89, for 1989, the year of the protests.
Bonus: Indonesia has a new and friendly neighborhood tax collector. From pizza delivery to spider-web weaving, creative uses of drones are rapidly proliferating. Indonesia hopes to use the technology to catch tax evaders across their chain of seventeen islands. Many plantation owners in Indonesia underreport either the size or the extent of their activities, resulting in less revenue the tax drone aims to recover.

A Comprehensive Prospective Study of Costs Associated to the Evaluation of beta-lactam Allergy

doi: 10.18176/jiaci.0457
Background: Being labelled as allergic to penicillin or unverified beta-lactam allergy result in patients receiving broader-spectrum antibiotics that may be more toxic, less effective, and/or with a higher cost.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate real costs of beta-lactam allergy evaluation.
Methods: A prospective real life observational study designed to evaluate all adult patients that consulted during one year for suspected beta-lactam allergy. Direct and indirect costs were systematically recorded. Direct health costs were calculated by taking into account the number of visits and all complementary and diagnostic tests performed; direct non-health costs by considering the number of visits and the kilometers from their homes to the Allergy Service; and indirect costs by considering the absenteeism.
Results: A total of 296 patients with suspected allergy to beta-lactams were evaluated in our outpatient clinic from June 1st, 2017 to May 31th, 2018. Total direct health care costs were €28,176.70, with a mean cost and a standard deviation (SD) of €95.19 (37.20). Direct non-health costs reached €6,551.73, that is €22.13 (40.44) per patient. Indirect health costs reached €20,769.20, with a mean of €70.17 (127.40). In summary, the total cost was €55,497.63, which means a cost per patient of €187.49 (148.14).
Conclusions: Even considering all possible costs, the evaluation of beta-lactam allergy is not expensive and can save future expenses due to unnecessary use of more expensive and less effective antibiotics.
Key words: Beta-lactam allergy, Delabelling, costs, Pharmacoeconomics, Penicillin allergy evaluation

Healthcare costs are in the billions. Chiropractors can reduce healthcare costs by striving to provide the right treatment and diagnosis for patients with spine and spine related problems the first time. Nearly half of BC's provincial government budget is allocated for health care, yet we still struggle to meet all of our needs. Approximately one third of all office visits to a medical doctor are for spine and spine related problems. It's a huge piece of the pie that can be more effectively managed by chiropractic doctors. Chiropractic doctors strive to provide the right treatment and diagnosis for patients with spine problems. Studies show that patients under chiropractic care return to work faster which means less treatment and more time as a productive employee.

'They're just so deserving': Mason HS honors 2 juniors who died six months apart
Emily Casey and Mary Scheeler were both juniors
Emily Casey and Mary Scheeler were both juniors
Emily Casey and Mary Scheeler were both juniors
Football has a way of bringing people together, especially on a Friday night. In Mason, students, parents and fans found several ways to recognize and remember Emily Casey and Mary Scheeler.
Casey, 18, died on the last day of March from a rare genetic disorder. Her family told WLWT the Mason school system and community always embraced their family and Casey's needs.
"Inclusion was always a part of the schools, and Emily relished and loved very minute of it," her father, T.J. Casey, said. "We're just so thankful that we've had this opportunity to celebrate her life."
Mason cheerleaders and dozens of Mason students wore "Comets for Casey" T-shirts in yellow, her favorite color.
"Emily had a special way of enjoying life and bringing joy to everybody and I think tonight, even as emotional as it is, it is overwhelming to see everybody in the stands celebrating the way she would love to celebrate life," T.J. Casey said.
Six months after Emily Casey died, Mary Scheeler, 18, was hit and killed while riding her bike near Bethany and Mason Montgomery Roads.
"Losing her was just like a big shock to me. It made me realize how much you need to appreciate everyone," Mason junior Gracie DeGroft said. "(Emily and Mary), they were the two in the classroom that were always happy. They never really had bad days and to see everyone honor them, they're just so deserving of it."
In addition to wearing yellow for Emily, Mason students and cheerleaders also wore blue ribbons and released blue balloons for Mary during Friday's football game.
"I miss them dearly, but I think they're in a better place now. Their reputation and how they've impacted the world is living on," Mason junior Emily Rebella said.
Mason cheerleaders, including Rebella and DeGroft, started selling Mason flags this summer to raise money to build a Common Ground Playground, an accessible place for children of all abilities to play in Mason.
Between the first and second quarters of the football game, cheerleaders presented the Casey family with a check for $800 for the playground.
"It was always hard to have inclusion, to have a place to play together. The Mason Common Ground is one of the wonderful opportunities where every kid would be on a level playing field," T.J. Casey said.
"They haven't always gotten the chance to play on a playground, but with a wheelchair accessible one, I know Emily would have loved it," DeGroft said.

World Environment Day (WED) was celebrated around the world on June 5 and both Bollywood and Hollywood stars were among those who rallied their fans to take environmental friendly actions on this day – by Malaka Rodrigo
'Save trees', 'Protect our Environment' – these are some of the slogans we start hearing around the first week of June when the world celebrates World Environment Day (WED). But this time the United Nation's Environment Program (UNEP) came up with a new way to convey the message.
"Hi Rahul, I bet I can get more people to join us on World Environment than you.."
"Ahh…. I don't think so.. I'm one of the most respected actors of India after al.l"
"Ah…. So am I …and I have so much goodwill to share that I will plant a tree for each activity registered under my name."
"Well, I will see each of your trees and will plant two."
This was the dialogue between two Bollywood stars – Priyanka Chopra and Rahul Bose who headed an environmental campaign to urge their fans in India and around the world to take action on World Environment Day. 'Plant a Forest' was the theme of the challenge.
The WED challenge set up by these Bollywood stars is simple. There are many environmental activities we all can do individually or as a community- from choosing public transport to travel, turning off additional lights, recycling or even tree planting. These individual actions, when multiplied, can make an exponential difference to the planet.
To make their favourite actor win the challenge, the fans have to register their Environmental Activity under either Priyanka or Rahul on the UNEP WED Challenge website. When they log into www.wedchallenge.org/india it first prompts them to choose their most loved idol and then register their activities.
This year's theme is "FORESTS: Nature at your service" and going forward with this idea both Rahul and Priyanka promised to plant a forest for each registered activity to increase the tree cover and most importantly look after the trees. More action by their fans will make this forest bigger.
Hollywood stars Don Cheadle (Ocean's Eleven) and Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen too have taken up the challenge. Bollywood has in fact challenged Hollywood in World Environment Day activities.
"Hey Don.. Hey Giselle.. Now we get more people to join us on World Environment Day than both of you".
This was typically a challenge by a hero in a Hindi movie, but it was for a good cause.
"Help Bollywood to beat Hollywood to plant a huge forest to make the world a healthier place" that was Rahul's plea to his fans.
Visit http://www.unep.org/wed/A-Z/ to get some of the ideas on environmental actions. The final results of the challenge will be released soon, so keep an eye on the UNEP website www.UNEP.org/WED

Divorces in California aren't quick by any means. Last week, we covered the Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver divorce that has lasted three years. While that length of time is longer than some others, it does bring up questions about divorce time frames. One of the time frames that must be met in California is the residency requirement.
What are the residency requirements for a divorce?
In order to file for a divorce in California, you or your soon-to-be ex-spouse have to live in the state for at least six months. On top of that, you have to live in the county where you will file for the divorce for at least three months. Of course, those are just basic guidelines.
What if I don't meet the residency requirements?
You can't file for divorce if you don't meet the residency requirements for a divorce in California. Instead, you can file a petition for a legal separation. Once you have lived in the area long enough to meet both residency requirements, you can amend the petition to seek a divorce.
Are there same-sex marriage exceptions?
Same-sex marriages are a bit tricky if the partners don't live in California but got married in California. In that case, California will accept divorce petitions in certain circumstances. One of the criteria is that the state in which you live now mustn't dissolve a same-sex marriage. If you live in a state that won't end your marriage, you can file a divorce petition in the county in which you were married. Even then, the court is limited as to what it can order as part of the divorce settlement.

Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG Coupe
Starting price: $215,500
The 2015 S65 AMG coupe is among the most fetching and luxurious vehicles on the planet, with almost ridiculous levels of equipment. The engine in the Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG Coupe is a handcrafted V-12. The AMG tradition is that the individual master craftsman who builds each engine puts his signature on it when he's finished. That's not to say the end product is some quaint relic. Top speed is 186 mph, not bad for a car that could be used as a family car, unlike a two-seat racecar.
There is a standard head-up display, Benz's new touchpad COMAND system, a 360-degree parking camera, active park assist, Distronic Plus adaptive cruise control, cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, AMG-exclusive Nappa leather interior trimmings, a Burmester surround-sound audio system, and a 12.2-inch color TFT center display.
Ferrari 458 Spider
Starting price: $257,412
The 458 Spider is the folding-hardtop convertible version of Ferrari's magnificent 458 Italia coupe. The car offers an open-air experience for those who prefer the wind in their faces and the scream of their Ferrari exhaust as loud as the bright red paint job.
Pretty identical in most respects to the Italia, the Spider a sonorous 4.5-liter direct-injection V8 that shifts through a seven-speed dual-clutch automated-manual transmission. The V8 cranks out 562 horsepower at a staggering 9,000 rpm and 398 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm, which combines with its 3,153 lbs curb weight to help the 458 Spider scoot to 62 mph in just under 3.4 seconds.
McClaren 650S
Starting price: $265,000
The 650S is officially an additional model in McLaren's growing portfolio and the 12C, which launched the brand's bid to compete with Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche at the top of the supercar league, continues to be available.
At top speed on the 650S is 204 miles per hour, with a whopping 500 lb-ft of torque and 641 horsepower 25 more than the 12C. It can even undergo McLaren Tuning, making it an even smoother drive. It'll go 0-62mph in 3 seconds on a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine paired with McLaren's seven-speed double-clutch (paddle-shifting) gearbox.
Aston Martin Vanquish
Starting price: $287,820
The 2015 Vanquish is equipped with the new generation AM29 V12 engine the most powerful GT production engine in Aston Martin history. 568 bhp of power. 201 mph top speed. 0-60mph in just 3.6 secs. Vanquish has the greatest performance numbers ever reached in an Aston Martin, it's not a Grand Tourer, its a Super Grand Tourer.
The New Vanquish includes launch control – an Aston Martin first. The same technology used in our class-leading motorsport development brought for the first time to the road. Optimum takeoff is achieved by balancing throttle, transmission, traction aids and damping to harness the full power of Vanquish even from a standing start.
Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe
Starting price: $407,400 – $480,175
Phantom Coup's sporting credentials are evident at first glance – the powerful profile and low-slung carriage give an instant impression of strength.
There are two additional offerings in the Phantom family: a coupe and the drophead, Brit-speak for soft top. Both are based on a shortened Phantom chassis and seat four. The coupe offers an LED Starlight headliner option that brings the constellations inside. The drophead is inspired by 1930s yacht design, with a lined fabric top and optional teak decking.
Hennessey Venom GT
Starting price: $1.1 million
The engineers over at Hennessey know what fast means. This little company has produced the fastest ever production car. capable of 271 mph.
They say everything is bigger in Texas and the Lone Star State-based tuning house is happy to that statement correct.
The Venom GT is filled with enough horsepower to stretch across the Lone Star State itself, packing a mind-blowing 1,500 horsepower mined from a poisonous 7.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. 0-60 is pegged at two seconds. The riotous acceleration doesn't end there, though, the Venom claims a top speed of 287 mph.
Koenigsegg One
Starting price: $2.0 million
The Koenigsegg One business model has really paid off because it has just achieved a very impressive automotive first, a one-to-one power-to-weight ratio in a road car.
This insane machine weighs just 1,340 kilograms and puts out 1,340 horsepower. And that weight includes a full complement of fluids and an average driver. This is one of the fastest accelerating cars, and possibly plane, that money can buy. To go from 0 to 250 mph in under twenty seconds and a claimed potential top speed of 273 mph or more.
In short, there might be more luxurious cars on this list, but there is none that can hold a candle in raw performance.
Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse Legend Ettore Bugatti
Starting price: $3.2 million
This is the last of the Bugatti Legends series. Production will be limited to three cars. It is named for Ettore Bugatti, the founder of the Italian marque, and is based on the Bugatti Type 41 Royale.
Powering the final Legend is a 1,183-horsepower 8.0-liter W16 engine with a maximum speed of 254 mph with the roof down.
The body sports a "yin-yang" color split. The front part is made of hand-polished aluminum and finished with a clear coating. The rest gets a dark-blue exposed carbon finish. Rounding out the exterior are polished, diamond-cut wheel rims that match the body with a dark-blue finish.
Lykon Hypersport
Starting price: $3.4 million
The Dubai based company W Motors are planning to make seven of these. It is the first supercar to be produced in the Middle East. The cause of the car's expensive price tag is due to its included options. It is the first car to have diamonds in its headlights. The front lights are made up of titanium LED blades with 420 diamonds (15cts). The Lykan Hypersport is powered by a flat 6 twin-turbo engine, which produces 750 horsepower, and takes you from 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds with an estimated top speed of 245 mph.
Lamborghini Veneno
Starting price: $4.5 million
It may not be the most beautiful supercar, but it is still one of the coolest. This hypercard is based loosely on the Aventador. But the Veneno isn't all looks and no go. The name is Spanish for "poison" and boy is that appropriate.
The Veneno gets you from 0 to 60 mph in a swift 2.8 seconds allowing you to hit a top speed of 221 mph. Only three cars are being made available every year.
If you want to own this hyper-supercar, you will have to be placed on a waiting list along with other aficionados.

OXFORD — Miami University will award 3,949 degrees on Saturday, May 13, during its commencement ceremony. According to officials, Miami's 2017 graduates have reason to be excited about their possibilities.
By fall 2016, 96.3 percent of last year's Miami Oxford graduates were employed or continuing their education. Roughly 89 percent of employed Oxford campus alumni were working in a position that requires a bachelor's degree of higher.
Their median annual salary range was $50,000 to $59,999. More than 55 percent had two or more job offers and more than 10 percent had four or more job offers.
Among bachelor's degree recipients from the College of Liberal Arts and Applied Science at Miami's Regionals, 94.8 percent were employed or enrolled in school, with 82 percent of employed alumni working in a position that requires a college degree.
More than half of last year's graduates found employment in Ohio, joining 96,700 other Miami alumni living and working in the state.
During the May 13 ceremony at Yager Stadium, Miami's own 2016 MacArthur Fellow Daryl Baldwin will address the 2017 graduates.
Baldwin, who is also an adjunct assistant professor in educational leadership, was awarded a genius grant in September as one of the 2016 MacArthur Fellows. He was among 23 people selected by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
Baldwin, a linguist and cultural preservationist, is leading a revival of the cultural heritage and language of the Miami (Myaamia) Nation, of which he is a citizen.
The class of 2017 includes six members of the Myaami Nation. This makes a total of 70 who earned a Miami degree since 1991 when the first three students came to campus on a Heritage Award. The award provides tuition waivers to members of the Myaamia Nation.
Miami President Greg Crawford will preside over the ceremony. Degrees to be awarded include: 67 certificates, 109 associates, 3,463 bachelor's, 294 master's, and 16 doctorates.
Details of the ceremony can be found online. Commencement is held rain or shine. Information on the status of the ceremony in case of severe weather can be found at www.miamioh.edu or at 88.5 FM and 91.7 FM. The ceremony will also be available online through a webcast. University division also will hold recognition ceremonies May 13 and May 14. Additional information can be found online.

Playing with the new lipsticks from Yulip Beauty. These new releases are bright and deep.
I was excited to find out that they named this red Gojuchang because it looks exactly like the Korean chili paste that I like to eat. It is a bright chili red hue with a coral undertone and it reminds me of Korean food so much. It suits my skin tone really well that I can even pull this off during the day.
The other shade, My Jam, is a fun pink. It's a bright fuschia pink that looks brave. I mean I don't use this daily but if I want some impact and I don't have time to create an elaborate eye look, I just pull this one out.
Both lipsticks contain castor seed oil, evening primrose oil, candelilla wax, jojoba oil, and beeswax. They feel moisturizing on the lip and nourishing too. They are a nice break from my matte lipsticks and are just so fun to look at. They are cruelty-free and are also formulated without synthetic fragrance, artificial colorants, sulfates, and parabens.
The Yulip Gochujang and My Jam were provided by @yulipbeauty. Available for $26 each at yulipbeauty.com

2019 Marketing Predictions From Our Circle of Experts
I'm proud to be a member of the New York City Marketing Resource Group, a consortium of New York City metro area marketing and communications professionals, representing everything from web development to videography, media buying, content, graphic design, email marketing, social media and more. We meet regularly and share industry intelligence, collaborate on business and share sales leads. My go-to group for trusted resources and expertise, here are some of our collective marketing predictions for 2019.
Public Relations: "In 2019, PR will continue to align with social media and expand beyond traditional media relations to include holistic storytelling, content creation as well as paid and social content marketing (different from marketing content), thought leadership and influencer marketing. Every communications campaign should be designed to meet target audiences across all media platforms." Julie Livingston, WantLeverage Communications
Sales Promotion: "Eco-friendly promotions are more popular than ever. Going green is no longer a trend and receiving a sustainable branded gift/swag is noticed, used, appreciated and not discarded," Beth Lichtman, U & I Promotions
Event Marketing: "Putting more experiential elements into the meeting experience will continue. Increasingly, we are producing events where attendees are getting involved and interacting in highly creative ways." Annette Nail, Naif Productions
Media Buying: "Household IP targeting is becoming increasingly important. It's essentially direct mail for the internet – matching IP addresses to an advertiser's list of names and street addresses and showing your display or video ad only to those people, across all devices (cell phones, tablets, and computers). Its very cost efficient and extremely targeted." Chelsey Pendock, Innovision Advertising
Email Marketing: "Smart brands are continually making improvements to automation and message personalization by creating highly relevant, timely, targeted content. Email programs will increasingly integrate with other channels, such as Facebook, for refined targeting and richer experiences. Deliverability will continue to be a challenge even for brands that carefully manage their lists as ISPs make their own decisions about which emails should be delivered, not the subscribers." Chris Wiedemann, Boal Media
Social Media: "Authentic, storytelling versus polished, pre-packaged content will increase this year. This means that more companies and brands will share their personalities and go behind the scenes with their audience. Sharing content via Instagram Stories will become even more popular than News Feed content." Joan Pelzer, Joan Pelzer Social
Corporate Branding:"The format in which marketers deliver presentations will continue to be more compelling and interactive. Interactive PDFs (which function similar to a micro website) will include navigations with buttons, menus, and animations, which allow audiences to digest content more naturally instead of swiping slide to slide within a fixed format." George Costello, Costello Creative Group
LinkedIn Marketing:For 2019, I envision more engagement on LinkedIn using LinkedIn native videos. More companies will be investing on using LinkedIn videos to communicate their message and enhance their brands either via LinkedIn posts on the company page or via LinkedIn advertising." Julbert Abraham, Abraham Global

Three healthy ageing nutrient all stars
-Jun 18, Jenny Paul , Nutrition -
Not every nutrient that your body needs to stay in tip-top health is easily obtainable in the average diet. To get the proper amount of certain vitamins and minerals, supplements are key. But you won't get what your body needs from just any multi-vitamin. Quality is key; but there's three nutrients in particular that you need as you age to keep you feeling and looking your best.
Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like nutrient which is naturally produced in the body. However, levels of CoQ10 in the body fall with age and, because of its importance in sustaining health, energy production and antioxidant protection, supplementation can provide significant tangible benefits.
Although foods such as broccoli, dark leafy greens, nuts, fish, shellfish, pork, chicken and beef are dietary sources of CoQ10, it has been estimated they deliver only about 2 to 5 mg, which is not enough to sustain healthy levels in the body. A young, healthy body, in comparison, can produce 45 mg by itself.
Two factors result in a deficiency of CoQ10: reduced biosynthesis (meaning the body isn't producing enough by itself) and increased demand from the body.
Deficiencies in the B-vitamins and trace minerals needed for the production of CoQ10 are one cause of low levels, as are mutations in the genes required for its synthesis. Another cause is an increased demand for CoQ10 to neutralize high levels of environmental toxins (such as pollution, smoke and excessive sun) and free radicals.
Coenzyme Q10 functions in every cell of the body to produce energy. It is an essential component of healthy mitochondrial function (mitochondria are the energy-producing centers of all cells). CoQ10 offers enhanced energy levels and greater endurance, as well as a greater ability to lose body fat while preventing the energy decline seen in aging cells and diseased organs.
CoQ10 also works with other antioxidants to elevate levels of vitamins C, E and glutathione and to help regulate blood sugar and enhance insulin sensitivity.
The antioxidant nature of Coenzyme Q10 derives from its energy carrier function. As an energy carrier, it continuously goes through an oxidation–reduction cycle, accepting and giving up electrons. In its reduced form, it can easily give up electrons both to stabilize and thus neutralise free radicals and regenerate other antioxidants. It's particularly effective at protecting the vulnerable mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA from oxidative stress and the cell damage it causes.
Studies have confirmed that, being a large, fat-soluble molecule, CoQ10 needs to be accompanied by fat in order to be absorbed properly by the body. If you're taking a gel capsule containing oils or fats, Coenzyme Q10 will be absorbed directly into the gastrointestinal tract. If taking a tablet supplement, make sure to consume it with fat-containing foods.
It's challenging to get enough zinc from diet alone. We've looked into it in depth here and have explained why zinc gives your skin a glow from within as well as preventing breakouts and acne. The best way to get the amount of zinc your body needs is through a supplement, but be choosy; zinc competes for absorption with calcium, copper and iron, so if integrated in a supplement also containing these minerals, its absorption will be inhibited.
The presence of amino acids, particularly sulfur-containing amino acids such as cysteine, increases its absorption.
Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric, a spice used in India for thousands of years in cooking and as a medicinal herb. Turmeric has been proven to counteract inflammation more effectively than many drugs – and without the side effects. It's now being touted by the A-list as a must-have for beauty as well as wellbeing.
Acute (short-term) inflammation is beneficial. When you get a cut, inflammation helps isolate the area and keep pathogens from taking over. But when inflammation is chronic, the immune system response is being inappropriately deployed against the body's own tissues.
It's believed that chronic, low-level inflammation plays a major role in most chronic diseases, from heart disease to cancer to Alzheimer's. Therefore, anything that can help fight chronic inflammation is of potential importance in preventing and even treating these diseases. Curcumin targets multiple steps in the inflammatory pathway at the molecular level.
For example, curcumin blocks NF-kB, a molecule that travels into the nuclei of cells and turns on genes related to inflammation. It also boosts levels of the brain hormone BDNF, which increases the growth of new neurons and fights various degenerative processes in the brain.
And, unless you're following a turmeric-heavy diet, or taking a supplement, you're likely missing out on the benefits of curcumin.
To summarise, supplements are a valuable addition to your daily health routine, but they're most effective when they're targeted toward specific benefits like anti-ageing, rather than just a collection of vitamins and minerals – some of which can easily be found in your diet.
Lumity will help you look better and feel younger, as well as improving overall health and wellbeing.

Navy pilots take to the air to mark a century

HELICOPTERS dive-bombed over the Thames to celebrate 100 years of naval aviation, writes Jules Cooper.
HELICOPTERS dive-bombed over the Thames to celebrate 100 years of naval aviation, writes Jules Cooper.
Pilots based aboard HMS Illustrious, which was moored in Greenwich this week, provided a death defying display in front of the Old Royal Naval College, last Saturday.
To mark a century since the Admiralty purchased its first aircraft - His Majesty's Air Ship 1 - a number of displays were made as sailors wandered around Greenwich town centre.
Welling and Bexleyheath Royal Air Force Association member Brian Marsh, attended a Thursday display where he spotted Prince Andrew making his way to the warship.
The 62-year-old, of Elsa Road, Welling, said: "There were hundreds of people staring up as 17 helicopters flew over, then four Jet Streams, then four Hawks.
"It was a magnificent display despite the wretched weather."
The Royal Navy also had a Harrier jump jet parked in the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College.
Speaking at the celebrations, Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope KCB OBE, said: "Over 80 per cent of our Squadrons are currently deployed.
"The Fleet Air Arm has never been in greater demand proving its utility and versatility in land operations as well as at sea."

Berlusconi Allies Threaten to Resign from Government
- August, 03, 2013 - 16:57
- Other Media news
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Lawmakers and ministers from Silvio Berlusconi's People of Freedom party threatened to resign from the government on Friday.
Supporters of Silvio Berlusconi threatened to resign from Italy's government on Friday after a verdict against the billionaire tycoon that could place him under house arrest and eject him from parliament, France24 reported.
"We are ready to resign to defend our ideal," Interior Minister Angelino Alfano, Berlusconi's closest ally from the People of Freedom party, was quoted by Italian media as saying at a meeting with the mogul.
Berlusconi himself reportedly said: "We have to ask for new elections as quickly as possible and win them."
Prime Minister Enrico Letta, who presides over the uneasy alliance between his centre-left Democratic Party (PD) and Berlusconi's centre-right coalition, earlier pleaded for calm "for the good of Italy".
But he added: "I do not think a deterioration is advantageous and I do not believe that continuing at any cost is in the interests of the country."
Italy's current government was installed following a two-month deadlock between Berlusconi and their eternal rivals, the PD, after close-run February elections in which both won around a third of the vote.
