Today I went to pick up a client from the local mall. I had my windows open enjoying the warm weather that finally came. Although the winds were still blowing it was hot just not humid.
I finally picked up the client and we were on our way when all of the sudden the Client told me that there was a Wasp in the Car!
A what! I told myself and I quickly pulled over. The Client got out of the back seat and waited outside while I went in to get that Wasp out of my car. It was a bit embarrassing but we were able to get the Wasp out of the car and proceed on our way!
I tell you something funny always happens when you drive Lyft!
I apologized to the Client about what happened.
I quickly figured out how the Wasp got in and it was probably when I was parked in the Parking Lot waiting for a call. I usually park and leave the car off while my Lyft app is on waiting for a client with my windows open to allow the cool breeze to come in.
I figured it's a good idea to keep the rear windows closed and the front windows open until you get a call.
Are you looking for a side hustle?
Why not drive for Lyft?

THAT extraordinary all-rounder Steve Greensword, now 75, finds himself included in Wisden Cricket Monthly's Club Cricket Hall of Fame – No 25 it says, to which a reasonable response might be "What kept you?"
The magazine recalls Geoffrey Boycott's observation that "he were a good bowler, that Greensword" – Sir Geoffrey nursed memories of Yorkshire's 1973 Gillette Cup defeat – but Greensword was some batsman, too.
In the Durham Senior League, nomadic but chiefly with Philadelphia, he scored 23,000 runs at an average 55, included 36 centuries and eight times topped the league batting averages. He also bagged 1,400 wickets – "a parsimonious wicket-to-wicket medium pacer, all nibble and nous," says Wisden.
After seven early years with Leicestershire, the former milkman also took 464 Minor Counties wickets at 20.6 for Durham and averaged 32.5 with the bat. After retiring at 51, he turned to umpiring and for three successive seasons was named the North East Premier League's umpire of the year.
The column's card's marked by Steve's old Durham team mate Henry McLaren, who recalls the time that Steve gave him a lift to a county game down country. "All the way there and all the way back he affably talked cricket, a man in love with the game."
A few days later they met again in a club match, Henry trapping his mate LBW. "He came past me with a face like thunder. 'How are you getting to the next bloody away match'?" he said.
THE note two weeks ago on the death at 63 of Jim "Flash" Elliott led to memories of Barry Bolton, a team mate in the Bishop Auckland schools side of 1970-71 who later played for Chelsea and Ajax.
Dale Daniel sends a February 1971 cutting previewing the Bishops' English Schools Shield sixth round tie at Huyton – managed by Alan Bleasdale, who became better known as a playwright – the first time in 45 years that Bishop had reached that stage.
The side which left for an overnight stay in Southport was Brian Gregg (Woodham), Ken Brown (Staindrop), William Hull (Teesdale), Jim Elliott (Woodhouse Close), Tom Summerson (Woodham), David Heslop (King James), Shaun Vickers (Woodhouse Close), Geoffrey Smith (Woodham), Jim Rooney (Crook), Barry Bolton (Staindrop) and Paul Romaines (Leeholme.)
Paul Romaines? Son of affectionately remembered Shildon lad and One O'Clock Show singer George Romaines, Paul had five cricket seasons with Durham – coinciding with a 65-game unbeaten Minor Counties run between 1976-82 –before a successful decade with Gloucestershire.
A Christmas Day baby, like Marcus Trescothick, he's now 63 and a teacher in Bristol. Dale Daniel also sends a picture of Durham's 1980 Minor Counties winning team. Who's the guy on Romaines's immediate right? It's none other than Mr Greensword.
RICHARD Jones, our man in the Quaker cowshed, reports that a Boston United supporters' flag was somehow stolen during last Saturday's match at Darlington. Raising the standard somewhat, a group of Darlington fans have clubbed together and bought them a new one.
RECALLING some "second division" heavyweight boxing champions, the Sunday Times had cause last weekend to mention West Hartlepool warrior Brian London – long in Blackpool – who in 1959 fought Floyd Patterson for the world title.
Knocked out in the 11th – considerably longer than he lasted against Muhammed Ali a few years later – London is said to have been philosophical. "I was only a prawn in the game," he said.
It also recalls the late Alan Ball, mates with London – now 85 – when he managed Blackpool FC, addressing a dinner at the Scotch Corner Hotel. Brian London, he said, was the only boxer he knew with a cauliflower a**e.
THAT one was spotted by Martin Birtle in Billingham. Rather further afield, and presumably in the overseas edition, my younger son – temporarily in Singapore – eyes the headline "Amos set to leave the waiting room." That one refers to Welsh rugby player Hallam Amos, and must not to be assumed to have any connection with the final paragraph of the Railroad to Wembley report on the opposite page.
CLUB presentations last Wednesday acknowledged Bishop Auckland FC secretary Tony Duffy's 50 years service to football – and with an unexpected little bonus at evening's end.
The match against Penrith was the first time this season that they'd not picked up so much as a booking – "I'm elated," said Tony, though with caution of his own.
Last season's first disciplinary clean sheet came at about the same time, Tony so similarly pleased that he omitted to enter "None" in the "Number of cautions and dismissals" section of the match return form. The league fined Bishops £10.
Last Wednesday he contemplated a second pint of Fosters by way of celebration – "but not until after I've filled in that blooming form."
….and finally, the only one of English football's "92" not to have won an away game since January (Backtrack, October 12) is Spurs, of all teams.
Readers are today invited to suggest the sport in which former Arsenal and Spurs goalkeeper Petr Cech saved two penalties in a shoot-out last weekend.
On the spot again next week.

It's often suggested that the major causes of osteoporosis in women are low calcium intake and lower estrogen levels at menopause. A cross-cultural perspective, however, shows that this is not always true. People in many countries have lower calcium intakes than in the US, yet osteoporosis is less prevalent in these cultures. As an example, the Japanese calcium intake has only recently risen to 540 mg per day, much less than the US RDA for post-menopausal women of 1,200 mg per day. And yet the US hip fracture rate is twice that of Japan!
Anthropologists also have long noted that many native African populations exhibit very low fracture rates while consuming 300 mg of calcium a day. This low calcium intake was recently verified in anthropological study on Gambian women. In fact, overall research has shown that countries with the highest calcium intakes have the highest hip fracture rates.
The same holds true for estrogen. A decrease in estrogen at menopause is universal in women worldwide, but osteoporosis is not. Mayan women in Central America, Bantu women of Africa, and Japanese women all have lower estrogen levels than women of various ethnic groups in the United States, but they all experience many fewer fractures than American women. Also, the few years before menopause is a time of rapid bone loss for most women, yet a woman's estrogen level at this time can be higher than during her reproductive years. So attributing osteoporosis to the natural decrease in estrogen at menopause is too simplistic.
But if neither calcium nor estrogen levels causes osteoporosis, what does?
In adulthood, bone mass and strength are maintained through the balance of bone breakdown and bone buildup forces. Both building up new bone and breaking down old bone are essential, as bone needs to repair itself and "remodel" itself on a daily basis. Excessive bone weakening and osteoporosis occur when, over time, the forces of bone breakdown are much greater than the forces of bone buildup.
It's all a question of balance…
Many of our common lifestyles and cultural patterns actually add to our total load of bone breakdown forces. Unwittingly, we've taken on ways of being, eating, doing and acting that weaken bone. As my mentor, Dr. Russell Jaffe, summarizes: "Osteoporosis is a hidden tax of high-tech living."
The Total Load Model of Bone-Depleting Factors
The forces contributing to or directly causing osteoporosis are divided into five categories:
Dietary causes and nutrient inadequacies:
Lifestyle factors that cause osteoporosis:
Medicines that cause osteoporosis:
Diseases that cause osteoporosis:
Medical procedures that cause osteoporosis:
An excellent first step is to assess your individual load of bone-depleting factors. Take a moment and look at our wobbly camel, struggling under multiple bone-depleting burdens.
Where do you want to start in your journey of building bone strength? Which burdens can you modify? There are some things you cannot change, but there are others that you can—so start there. A simple start might to be make a new exercise commitment, to set the goal of eating 3 to 4 cups of vegetables a day, or to begin meditating and reducing emotional stress. All of the bone-building—and bone-depleting—factors are interrelated, and even small changes over time add up and can make a big difference!
And it's not unusual to find that changing one factor in a small way can also improve one of those other factors that you can't change directly — for instance, changing your diet or reducing your stress burden may not only help your bones, but also improve digestive or autoimmune disorders, giving you a doubly beneficial effect.

There are many Government offices providing many services at the same location. Many people walk in to avail the services. In country like India where the population is token display systems in coimbatore play a vital role.
Unwanted employment expenses can be fully reduced in crowd management. People time to receive his service can be approximately calculated. For example let's look at the passport office scenario. Any public can simply come take his token number. As the current number served is displayed a person can simply calculate how much time it will take his turn to come it may be one or two hours roughly. He need put leave to office or spend his entire time in standing. He can be on his regular schedule and get his passport too. The service provider can also stop issuing tokens when he thinks it is filled for the day. There is no need for any persons to issue the token and to take care of the public.

Utami Diah Kusumawati, Contributor, Jakarta | People | Fri, May 23 2014, 1:36 PM
Most shadow or leather puppeteers in Indonesia portray characters based on the classic Mahabarata and Ramayana epics.
However, there are some puppeteers in Tegal, Central Java, who use wooden golek cepak to explore diverse local characters.
"Each village in Tegal has its own fascinating tale," Sri Waluyo, a Tegal-born dalang, or puppeteer, said at the Jakarta Arts Building (GKJ) last month.
The 36-year-old often manipulates his golek cepak puppets to tell tales of Tegal that were originally compiled by his great-grandfather, Pahing, a dalang from Balamoa, Tegal.
Recently, however, golek cepak performances can only be seen in two villages in Tegal, Balamoa and Pagiyanten.
According to Waluyo, Pahing collected stories from different villages in Tegal, interviewing local residents, writing down their tales on paper and later reenacting the stories with a group of fellow artists.
Pahing's bundle of transcripts eventually made their way into Waluyo's hands.
Waluyo is a seventh-generation dalang. His grandfather Ki Seba, and his father, Ki Gunawan Suwati, were also golek cepak puppet masters, while his mother is a traditional Javanese music singer.
Suwati introduced him to traditional Javanese gamelan music when he was still a baby, Waluyo said.
He would also take all his children with him on stage when he gave a performance.
Waluyo eventually went to study at the Indonesian Arts Institute (ISI) in Surakarta, Central Java, before studying at the Pasinaon Dalang Mangkunegaran, a school for traditional puppeteers, in the same city.
"Up to now, I have created performances based on three tales: Jamaluddin the Robber, the Kayusida Gurih and the Merah Delima," he said. The three tales were the most popular and familiar to people in Tegal.
Waluyo said that golek cepak performances could be found in Cirebon, West Java; and Yogyakarta, although only in Tegal the stories were local. Performances in the other cities frequently adapted parts of the Mahabarata and Ramayana as well as the Muslim story of Menak.
In Jamaluddin the Robber, the titular hero, the son of the chief of Dukuhsembung village, falls in love with Siti Sutijah, the daughter of the king.
The couple becomes star-crossed when their love is stymied by class differences.
Kayusida Gurih, meanwhile, is a mystic tale of a man from Selong village who hunts for a special type of wood to become rich and Merah Delima tells about of a king and his magic stone of power, the Merah Delima.
"It's not only a tale. The people believe that the incidents really occurred," he said.
Besides taking inspiration from local stories, a distinct feature of golek cepak puppetry involves the shape of the puppets' heads, Waluyo said. Most golek puppets have removable head covers while golek cepak have straightened cover.
Despite its uniqueness, golek cepak is at risk of extinction, he said. The popularity of live performances sexy gyrating dangdut singers, often accompanied by full bands, has lead to the decline of golek cepak.
"Right now, only seven golek Tegal puppeteers, including my brother and me, are surviving," he said.
Realizing the threat, Waluyo along with his wife, Cahwati, a choreographer and singer, created Cing Cing Mong, a community to preserve and encourage innovation for golek cepak puppetry. "Cing cing mong" means holding hands or being in sequence.
To make performances more attractive, Waluyo has adopted techniques used by dalang in Cirebon and Bandung, West Java, into his shows, leading to puppets that blink, laugh and even eat.
Waluyo also adds elements of the festive kebumen golek performance style into the show. Using this style, puppets must dance while accompanied to gamelan music before greeting the audience. In traditional golek cepak, the dancing and music are absent. As a puppet comes on stage, it talks directly to the audience.
Waluyo said that in the future he planned to create more plays and scripts based on his great-grandfather's collection of stories.
"I want to revive Tegal's local stories and make people more familiar with their own history," he said.
Waluyo will perform Jamaluddin the Robber at GKJ on May 24 at 8 p.m. For more information and tickets, visit gedungkesenianjakarta.co.id.

As technologies grow, so do their uses, especially in the business world. In order to ensure the proper use of technologies, there have been advancements in employment law.
The Biometric Information Privacy Act has become quite popular over the last couple of years. There are some basic elements of the act that employees should be aware of.
The act is in regards to biometric information that a business collects and uses. There are a few different types of biometric identifiers that this may apply to, including:
- Fingerprints
- Hand or face scan
- Iris scan
- Voiceprint
Companies usually choose to utilize biometric identifiers as a means of creating greater protection. However, the collecting and storing of this data incorrectly could in fact endanger the privacy of the employees themselves. For this reason, the act is in place.
The Biometric Information Privacy Act lays out the obligations that employers take on by collecting biometric information of their employees for any purpose. In order for employers to be able to collect the information in the first place, they must complete a few steps:
- Notify the individual in writing that they are collecting biometric information
- Share the reason for collection of information and specific duration for its use and storage
- Collect the legal authorization of the individual
These are just the beginning steps. The act also denotes specific requirements for the continued use, storage and destruction of the information. It may be beneficial to review the act.
Class actions
As more employees learn about the act and recognize the lack of proper protocol, the number of class action suits is growing. However, employers are beginning to fight back. A common argument that employers try to make is that the employees have not suffered any harm or loss due to the use of the biometric information. Having a knowledgeable attorney is key for fighting an employer's claim.
These are just a few of the basics regarding the act. If you are considering filing a suit, make sure you understand the law and secure counsel that will benefit you.

RETURNING to the competition with a bang in 2020 was Shane and Jenny Priestly of Karinya, Gregadoo, who received reserve in the carcase section.
Running 60 breeders, mostly Angus of Reiland bloodlines, on their 141 hectare property, the Priesltys have been using an Onward Murray Grey bull over them and decided to re-enter the competition to see how the progeny was performing.
Shane Priestly said he thought the Murray Grey bull was pretty good, and had a strong chance of siring quality calves when crossed with an Angus cow.
"We thought why not give it a go," he said. "We had 10 calves to pick from, and selected the five that all looked even in weight and type and went from there.
"They were only fed pasture and some hay before entering the feedlot."
Ranking second out of the 87 teams in the trial, the Priestlys scored 431 points out of the 550 possible.
The Angus/Murray Grey cross steers all scored full points for hot standard carcase weight (HSCW), with an average HSCW of 377.7kg a head. For dressing percentage the team averaged 55.78 per cent and for lean meat yield they averaged 53.34pc.
All but one of the five steers had a marble score of two and qualified for the Riverine Premium Beef brand.
Overall the pen had an average MSA Index of 56.30 and placed 23rd in the trial.
Mr Priestly said they had previously entered the competition several years ago with a purebred Murray Grey team that also did fairly well in the carcase section.
"Previous to moving to the property three years ago, we were all Murray Greys. We had to buy back in and bought black," he said.
All black Angus females are kept as replacements, while the steers are usually sent to the saleyards at Wagga Wagga when they have hit the 450kg to 500kg mark.
After receiving the feedback from the trial, the Priestlys aim to continue doing what they are doing as they seem to be satisfying the processors.

A couple of days ago WLR wrote about Parrs Lane and the greedy developers.
Now, oh, how my heart bleeds for Tory Jack, Gilmore, that is, as he commits to "…fight alonside [sic] the community to stop inappropriate development in our precious greenbelt". This time its Altys Lane
last time it was the "waste of time" slur and "lies told door to door"
of Jack's mentor Wally Westley about Parrs Lane, Aughton. Once seen, never forgotten, retained for posterity.
Your problem, Jack, is the community doesn't believe local politicians any more. Credit to Labour that fought off these developers in court and won. But it was a mere respite and the developer juggernaut is back. Better to build on soft, spade ready, fine agricultural land than to contend with the costly to prepare concrete and rubble of brownfield sites.
Aughton Residents Group, ARG (2012), is dismayed having discovered that developers are already continuing with their relentless intentions to build on prime farmland at Parrs Lane and Prescot Road. Their target is now 500 dwellings instead of their original plans for 400.
When WLBC abandoned their unrealistic 30 year plan the residents of Aughton and surrounding areas had taken some comfort in the mistaken belief that the threat to this land had at least been put on hold.
However they, the developers, were astute enough to realise that they, having already invested so much time, effort and money, would never give up their chance to make huge profits.
Colin Atkinson, Chairman of ARG (2012), said "When visiting the WLBC planning website over another matter I was surprised and dismayed to see a Scoping Report Reference 2019/1134/SCO which is a conjointly submitted report by Emery Planning on behalf of Redrow Homes Ltd And Wainhomes North West Ltd.
"The report indicates their intentions, having seemingly acquired more land within the Parrs Lane / Prescot Road / Long Lane site boundaries, to make new planning applications for a significantly increased number of dwellings (500 rather than 400).
"Armed with this information I contacted WLBC Planning Department to query why as a resident who is directly affected by these plans, had not been notified or consulted. I was told that WLBC'S policy only requires neighbour notification as and when Planning Applications are received. Whilst this situation is not the fault of the Planning Officers it does mean that the Community are kept in the dark whilst the developers are already progressing their intentions.
"From past experiences in 'fending off' the unwelcome and unjustified developers' plans we are well aware that in respect of these sites they are prepared to go to any expense in their efforts to find any loopholes or pretext to usurp and thwart the elected Council's planning decisions and the Local Plan.
"ARG (2012) unfortunately now find ourselves in the run up to Christmas preparing for another campaign to defend this beautiful, prime agricultural landscape from becoming yet another profit driven concrete and brick estate. We will be contacting our MP, Ward Councillors and Aughton Parish Council for their continued support". And good luck with that?

Summer is almost here! Soon, we'll be spending more time outdoors, enjoying the warmer temperatures. During the summer months, the boost of natural Vitamin D from the sun is wonderful! That being said, it's very important to monitor your exposure and take steps to protect and shield skin from harmful rays while outdoors.
Today I'm sharing a few essentials I'll be keeping in my tote to stay healthy in the summer heat. It's easy to forget to take precautionary measures when not spending time in the sun directly. Having products on hand to protect my skin while I'm on the go is important! I'm thinking pool time and beyond, while out and about during the day.
What's in my bag?
First, everyone needs a roomy tote bag this season! This one can be worn expanded or tapered in, thanks to the inside tab. It has inside pockets, structure, and a fun tassel detail. It fits all of my daily must-haves with room to spare!
Coolibar makes a chic wrap and woven hat that are perfect for summer. The wrap is available in solids and stripes and is a great addition to any outfit, or over your swimwear while lounging. It's stretchy, lightweight, and has UPF 50. Wear this wide brim hat to protect your face, ears and neck from the sun! It's packable and contains UPF 50. It comes in several colors. A nice feature is the soft inner lining that provides a snug fit, making it comfortable to wear!
We Love Our Customers
This is Azeudee and she has been shopping at HSN for 15 years! Her favorite brands include Iman, Joy Mangano, Asa and Trish McEvoy. Besides showcasing her style, Dee likes to chat with her fellow HSN Fanatic Members, design and sketch for remodels and read, especially fashion tutorials. She's a busy mom and likes to call herself a Momtrepreneur. For the warm days ahead, Azeudee is wearing the Coolibar ZnO Suntect UPF 50+ Long Sleeve Wrap along with the Coolibar Packable UPF 50+ Wide Brim Woven Hat!
In the summertime, I prefer to wear less makeup but still want correcting coverage. My solution is CC Cream with a broad spectrum SPF, and I love this version from Smashbox! It evens my complexion out, and provides moisture and protection. It has a soft, dewy finish. (For heavier coverage, I have also used it as a primer under my everyday foundation!) For a quick, fresh-faced look curl your lashes, apply a swipe of mascara and tinted lip balm and you're good to go! The subtle red tint of the Korres Pomegranate Lip Balm is a favorite.
Rounding out my daily essentials are the Asobu Infuser Water Bottle and Fitbit Charge 2 Fitness Tracker. These fun water bottles encourage me to stay hydrated by drinking more water throughout the day. Experiment with different combinations of chopped up fruit, vegetables, and herbs to create refreshing flavors! Current favorites are: cucumber, mint and lime; blackberry and lime; strawberry and lemon; orange and mint.
I wear my Fitbit every day, to motivate workouts, monitor heart rate, and keep track of steps/sleep. This model offers so many features with a sleek look! I also like to use the Fitbit app to track my progress/goals on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
Last but not least, a high SPF sunscreen is an absolute essential! Hampton Sun SPF 55 Sunscreen is a great pick because it protects skin and is water resistant (up to 80 minutes). It's oil free with a light floral scent. Don't forget to reapply when you've been out in the sun for an extended time or in the water!
Have a safe, happy, and healthy summer with these great products, available at HSN!

Young Man On A Mission | Spring 2007 Out Here Magazine
Thriving FFA project becomes a blessing to celiac disease sufferers
Photography by Steve Smith
Forrest Smith can't eat a fast-food hamburger on a bun or split a restaurant pizza with friends.
But celiac disease — a digestive intolerance to the protein found in many breads, pastas, and cookies — hasn't slowed the Wyoming high school student.
It inspired him to create a booming business.
Smith is founder of Gluten Free Oats LLC, one of the first companies in the world to capitalize on research finding that pure oats are safe for most people with celiac disease to consume. Its products now are sold nationwide and soon could be marketed internationally.
As a high school freshman in 2003, Smith, of Powell, WY, had to come up with a business idea for an agriculture class project, in affiliation with his local FFA chapter.
Smith's parents weren't farmers, so they didn't want him to raise livestock.
He decided to create a business model to help market pure oats to members of the celiac community.
After three months of searching, Smith found some oats that weren't contaminated by contact with wheat, barley, or rye, all of which contain the protein gluten that causes so many problems for people with celiac disease.
But he couldn't find a business selling pure oats in the United States.
So he bought a tabletop grinder and went into business, selling his products locally to people with celiac disease.

Universities and colleges have vibrant social and academic communities, with busy schedules of welcome events to help your child settle in and meet people. Many include Freshers' week, Student services information sessions, Halls social events and Buddy or 'parent' schemes to name a few.
Most universities accommodate first year students. The accommodation is managed by the university and offers a good stepping stone from living at home to living independently, giving students the skills to transition to private accommodation in their final years. Utility bills are often included in the rent – check with the university. Bedroom keys are unique; a student will only ever be able to open their own bedroom door.
A purpose-built student living complex. The setup is similar to university halls, but owned by a private company. Factor in what bills are included, what facilities are on site and how far they are from campus.
Rent locally with other students. Check what bills are included (including a deposit) and how far they have to travel to get to class.
For some students living at home can be a good option – as long as you're happy for them to stay! They may need to make more effort to get out and socialise to meet other students, but they might save money and avoid the hassle of moving. Commuting can lead to a very different university experience – consider what is right for your child.
Universities and colleges have vibrant social and academic communities, with busy schedules of welcome events to help your child settle in and meet people. Many include:
Freshers' week: events to help students get to know each other and find out about all the different activities available to them on campus. You can expect social events, tours of the campus and city, sign-ups for students' union societies and sports teams.

Sept. 22, 1999 (Seattle) -- Rising numbers of gay men in the U.S. are being infected with variations of the AIDS virus that are able to resist drug treatment, according to research in the current issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Scientists from New York and San Diego reported that drug-resistant forms of HIV -- almost never seen in newly infected individuals just five years ago -- now account for up to a quarter of new infections among gay men who live in major cities. But the researchers say that in most cases the level of resistance is low, meaning existing drugs will probably continue to work.
"What we're seeing is like what happened with tuberculosis," Roger Pomerantz, MD, tells WebMD. "It got a little resistant, then a little more resistant, and now we have a fair amount of tuberculosis that is quite resistant to several drugs. I'm predicting that is what will happen with HIV," says Pomerantz, a professor of medicine at Thomas Jefferson University and a contributor to this issue of JAMA.
Pomerantz says that when viruses and bacteria develop resistance to common drugs, doctors must use larger doses or switch to new medications. Doctors now test many tuberculosis patients for resistance before deciding which drugs to use, he says. But he says that's not yet warranted for people found to have HIV.
In one of the studies, researchers from the University of California, San Diego, looked at samples of HIV taken from 141 gay men from San Diego, Los Angeles, Dallas, Denver, and Boston. The samples were collected before the men were treated, which meant that any drug resistance was present at the time of infection.
The scientists tested the samples in the laboratory to see how much of each HIV drug was necessary to keep the virus from multiplying. Then they compared the results with tests on normal HIV samples.
Susan Little, MD, an assistant adjunct professor at UCSD and one of the study's authors, tells WebMD that only 2% of the samples contained a form of the virus that had more than 10 times the normal resistance to at least one HIV drug. "That's the good news," she says, "because it tells us that highly resistant HIV is still quite rare."
The bad news, she says, is that 26% of the samples had more than 2.5 times the normal resistance to at least one HIV drug. She says it's not clear whether that level of resistance is likely to prevent the usual treatments from working in people.
The other study was done by scientists from the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center at Rockefeller University in New York. They looked at HIV samples from 80 gay men, most of whom were from New York and Los Angeles.
Genetic testing of virus samples from the men found that 16% had mutations known to be associated with drug resistance. However, lab tests found that only 2% of the men had HIV that was highly resistant to drugs.
Pomerantz says even resistant versions of HIV usually can't withstand the standard treatment for HIV, which involves a "cocktail" of several drugs. But the incidence of so-called multidrug-resistant HIV is increasing, he says, which means scientists will have to continue developing new drugs in order to stay one step ahead of the evolving virus.
Both studies were funded in part by a grant from the National Institutes of Health.

I've been lucky enough to visit quite a few places over the past couple of years, and some of them have carried hefty price tags – London, New York, Sydney and now – Copenhagen. It's true they've all be on the pricier side, but in each stop there's always been opportunity to budget. However, with Copenhagen, it seemed like the challenge was slightly harder.
I think they key ultimately is to make sure you're prepared for how much it will cost when you're there. Copenhagen is an absolutely gorgeous city, and one that I loved visiting and am already trying to plan another visit in sometime soon. But it certainly wasn't the cheapest. Luckily I had planned quite a few ways around spending too much money when there, and I want to share my tips….
Do Your Research
As our trip to Copenhagen was a surprise birthday gift for my fiancé, I had planned already a few stops to go that weren't on the pricey side. Just as I didn't want to gift him a trip to a really expensive city with no contingency plan – that might be a bit mean.
I had ready plenty of articles on the most reasonable places to eat – and was recommended Høst, Faetter Faetter and to visit the food market opposite Nyhavn as cost effective places to eat. In regards to drink, most places were quite pricey, pretty much starting at £30 for a bottle of wine… But if you look around and check where's cheap-er beforehand, you won't get stuck looking for places when you're there.
Bike It
Copenhagen is the cycling capital, where cyclists are giving priority on the roads and so you don't have to worry about swerving around cars and buses. It's also the cheapest option (apart from walking everywhere of course) but it's quicker to get around via bike and in Copenhagen it's so so easy!
I've mentioned this in my specific Copenhagen cycling post, but we used Donkey Republic app which we found to be super cost-effective, especially as you could pick up a bike and drop it off all over the city and hire it from 30 minutes up to two weeks at a time… so it worked for any price or time frame you needed.
Copenhagen is certainly not cheap for alcoholic drinks. A bottle of wine on a restaurant menu sits at around £30 a bottle, which is a lot more than we're used to here in the UK.
On our first evening in Copenhagen we spotted a lot of the locals sitting by the river with drinks and decided to join in. Why not after all. There was a local outdoor food market nearby where you could pick up drinks – both alcoholic and not. For an Aperol spritz and a beer it came to around £14 between us, which is quite pricey for a usual round.
That evening when we looked around further we realised the majority of our fellow river drinkers were actually doing a BYOB (bring your own bottle) job, and drinking from their own bottles. So we did as the locals do, and the next evening we grabbed our own booze and drank that by the river instead and it was just as enjoyable and not as expensive! I would definitely recommend sitting by the river with a drink if the weather is good, and as far as we could tell there were no rules against bringing your own – so go ahead!
Cheap Views
In pretty much any city you visit you can find a view point. Most of them end up costing you an arm or a leg, but I'm happy to report that the Rundetaarn is not the case. For roughly around £2.50 you can climb the Rundetaarn, which is a circling tower with sloping insides, which means no steps!
Not only do You get a great view of Copenhagen from the top, but the inside looks pretty fabulous as well, with plenty of photo ops. There's also a little map challenge you can pick up if you're with children – or just immature like us – which makes it quite enjoyable on the walk up!
Lobster? Why Not!
One thing we noticed is that in most restaurants most meals sat around the £25-35 price range, which also applied to your usual pricier options like steak and lobster, bringing them down to normal price compared to the rest of the menu. So if everything on the menu is expensive, why not go for what would usually be too expensive back home?
We went to a really lovely restaurant on the canal called California Fusion, and the menu included a lot of options that sat around that price, with the option for a whole lobster at £50 we decided to order it to share and I'm so glad we did. It was my first time ever having Lobster, and my fiancé taught me how to use the crusher to get it all out. It ended up being one of my favourite memories from the trip.
So, if you're going to Copenhagen anytime soon, or even thinking of booking a trip I hope this post has helped. Copenhagen may be one of the most expensive cities to visit, but if done right it doesn't have to be too costly! This is my final Copenhagen post, but there'll always be more photos on my Instagram @GrundyTravels!
Thanks for reading x

But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. Job 23:10
"I believe in the sun even when it is not shining, I believe in love even when I am alone and I believe in God even when He is silent" Inscription found scratched into a wall in Germany by someone hiding from the Nazi concentration camps.
It's easy to have faith in God when you have a surplus in your checkbook. Having faith is easy when your spouse is sensitive to all your needs; your kids are well respected, academically achieving, mature young men and women; the doctor's report comes back favorably and the weather forecast is perfect for that outdoor picnic.
If we are really honest with ourselves, all too often the level of our faith is directly proportional to the comfort level of our lives. When things go well, God is good. When things go bad then something or someone must be wrong. We can easily start blaming others, ourselves, or even God for all the bad that happens. Sometimes we even stop believing that God exists or, if he does, is unconcerned or unable to deal with our situation.
None of us have endured the pain and agony that Job experienced. Children in his day were a sign of wealth and godliness and all ten of his kids were killed in a horrible storm. He was the richest and most generous man in the region, yet had all his wealth taken from him. His body was full of painful, itching, oozing boils for which the only medicine was to sit in a pile of ashes and scrap himself with a piece of broken pottery. His community couldn't bear to look at him so he was ignored, his friends became his relentless critics, imploring him to turn from sin and his wife, the last person he had on earth, turned her back on him. Job was a completely broken, lonely, pain-racked man.
In the midst all this pain Job testifies to his faith in God. It's as though he says, in a voice that almost sounds like he's trying to convince himself, "I know that He's there. I can't see Him. But I know He sees me. I can't understand what I've done to end up this way. I followed and obeyed Him. I've been a good husband and father. I've been generous to the poor. It doesn't matter what people think of me. This one thing I know. When all this pain is over. When the time of His testing is done. I'll come out of this shining like gold.
The picture of gold is a picture of refining; a picture of removing all the impurities, all the faults, all the issues that may have been in Job's character by the cleansing heat of fire. Fire is painful and ruthless in it's purifying of gold just as trials are ruthless in purifying our character. Enduring faith is seen in the hard times of life, when everything seems to be going downhill.
Wherever you are in life, ask God to help you grow to have enduring faith. Perhaps you've looked back on your life and seen many times when your decisions and lifestyle have brought on the consequences you now face. Nothing you have done or anyone else has done can keep you from enjoying the peace and comfort only God can give through His Son Jesus.
Praise Him today for the fact that someday your earthly trials will be over. Someday He will show Himself to you in ways you never thought possible. You may not be able to see Him. His ways may seem to far off for you and your pain may be too great right now. But He does love you and knows where you are and wants to walk with you through the adversity that lay ahead.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father. Although I'm not in nearly as bad of shape as Job, my pain is still very real. I've tried to find you, but I can't. I've tried to fill this void in my life with all sorts of things, even things like religion, but that hasn't worked. I thank you that you see me where I am and love me the way I am. Help me to have enduring faith as I walk this journey called life. Show me Jesus so I can follow Him. Thank you for forgiving me, in Jesus name, Amen.

so I have not been on my blog or read ANY for quite some time as I have been studying for my Prelim exams. Well, I just HAD to comment on this particular post (tho many of them made me laugh, smile, or generally want to say something to you). But this one I literally laughed out loud!
Here's the story. While Scott was setting the table he put me clear at the end...in an effort for me NOT to do everything for everyone and actually get to eat a hot dinner. Well, Kelsey was sitting in between Cody and myself. Scott was right next to Cody. But all I could hear from Cody was, "Mom! Mom! Mom, would you butter my pancake! Mom..." You get the picture. When I said, "Your dad is sitting RIGHT NEXT to you" his comment was, "Oh, I didn't notice him!"
I'm still laughing! Isn't this picture the total truth! I love being the mom! and I've missed your posts. I must get her more often!

So Joey, our autistic son, was out of sorts Monday morning. His weekend was "different" and on the autism planet "different" = "bad, undesirable, fail, unwelcome, must be destroyed."
He spent Saturday night in a respite apartment, giving mom and dad a night out and beginning our family preparation for the day when he will move into a group home. The stay went just fine, but after reflecting at home he decided to express his, um, issues with our little weekend plan.
He tried to swat the dog, then took a swipe at dad. He bellowed angry words and noises.
Then he got on the paratransit bus, plopped himself in the driver's seat, and wouldn't get out.
The patient driver negotiated but couldn't get him to move. Tim was en route to work and Melissa can't budge Joey physically. But she had a brainstorm…
Joey's older brother (also a Tim) was home from college for the MLK weekend. He was sleeping, but Melissa went and roused the lad…
As an older brother, Tim wasn't one to put up with Joey's stuff in the same way mom and dad would (e.g. getting thrashed). Tim (the younger) played football, wrestled, power lifted and listened to angry metal bands, among other skills. So he put a few big brother take downs on Joey several years ago, and Joey learned to be compliant with him. Although loyal to the autism planet's ways, Joey's made concessions to life on the Tim planet.
So Tim showed up in the bus door, and Joey was quickly in an appropriate seat and on his way.
No deep lesson with which to leave you. Just the thought that sometimes people in our care need to be held to the same standards as the rest of humanity. And that sometimes care givers, by disposition, habit, training or other inhibitions, aren't the best tools for that job. So it is prudent to have an array of tools available.
