Topic: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Explain these lines from "The Rime of Ancient Mariner'':
And I had done an hellish thing
And it would work 'em woe:
For all averr'd, I had kill'd the bird
That made the breeze to blow.
Ah wretch! said they, the bird to slay
That made the breeze to blow!
Nor dim nor red, like God's own head
The glorious sun uprist:
1 Answer | add yours
This stanza comes in the second section of the poem after the Mariner has shot the fateful albatross and it is clear that the slaying of this innocent bird has consequences that cause the other sailors to immediately turn on the mariner and argue that he has done a "hellish thing." The albatross in Section I of the poem is seen almost as a good luck charm to the sailors, as the following quote explores:
And a good south wind sprung up behind;The Albatross did follow,And every day, for food or play,Came to the mariner's hollo!

Tracy!! You have very creative kids. How sweet to see all of their creations. I love that last photo. How incredible that She was able to stand in the same place the picture was taken!!
Happy New YEar!!
It's the Octave of Christmas already! Also known as the Feast of the Circumcision, Mary Mother of God, and the first day of 2014. Have you ever heard this song, The First Day of the Year? This first day of the year Jesus to us doth give His pure and precious blood that we in Him may live ...
Hi Tracy,
A lot of your questions are the questions I ask myself when I have quiet to sit and think. The quiet and stillness doesn't happen enough for me. I am looking forward to some quiet and home time starting Christmas Eve. Still running around crazy with activities. The big kids get bigger and life gets busy. Thanks for sharing a glimpse of your day! Enjoy your quiet.
The crazy weeks of December are now over. They were thrilling. And exhausting. But so deliciously full that I have to resist keeping up that exciting pace. I must, must leave blank spaces on the calendar the next two weeks without feeling selfish. Even if it means feeling a little lo...
I feel you on the not having done anything as far as Christmas prep goes. We have been so sick here with the flu since before thanksgiving. I think it is finally leaving us. Our gingerbread day is going to be next week. We started that tradition about five years ago after being inspired by your posting about it. It is a treasured time that my kids and I look forward to every year.
Thank you for linking to those boots! Are those the boots you wore on thanksgiving? I admired them when you posted yourself wearing them while knitting. They look very cozy. I am a huge dansko fan. I don't feel guilty about the price because they last forever!!
God bless!
I find myself: ::noticing God's glory There's nothing like an ice storm to make one catch her breath and wonder anew at the awesome artistry of our Creator. Awesome. In every sense of the word. ::listening to The Nutcracker station on Pandora. I love that my littlest can identify every piece ...
You got snow?!?! Oh my! I am so not ready for winter. It looks like the kids had fun!
Oh Dear Elizabeth, My prayers are being said for you and Mike and your children. We love so deeply, we grieve so deeply.
Much love,
Pasted below is a piece I wrote for Sally Clarkson about this time last year. It is, right now, the best I have to offer in this space. My precious father-in-love died peacefully in his sleep Sunday morning. I honestly don't know what that means here for the next few days and weeks. Usually, thi...
Tracy! Happy Blog-a-versary! Thank you for sharing beautiful photos and beautiful thoughts. Many, many times you leave me inspired. I should let you know that more often!! I'm glad you are here in this space! Have a WONDERFUL week!!
The Feast of Michaelmas is traditionally a time of transition. In a more pronounced way even than Labor Day we move from summer into autumn, from short sleeves to long, from mowing grass to raking leaves. Every day the morning glories bloom is counted as a gift, knowing that the first frost is n...
I love it! Very bright and cheerful! I have the same abc and number cards on our classroom wall! I was also going to put a "clothesline" across our windows instead of curtains. Love it Tracy!
A new school year has commenced and the best thing so far is our new room! I scoured blogs and Pinterest for weeks until I found a combination that would work for us. This is not a large room - only about 10x12, but it seems so much larger and much more usuable, even with a big table. First,...
This is Kristin and her beloved grandfather. He's quite the wonderful guy and she once told me he's her "favorite person in the world." He's gravely ill. She left here yesterday morning, hoping to get home before he died. The hospital staff prepared them all and encouraged them to say goodb...
Tracy, I can so relate over here. I am totally feeling the big burnout blah. I just want to hibernate in my bed all. day. long.
But, indeed, so much to be thankful for. I love your list. It has inspired me a bit! And your pictures are gorgeous!! They look all warm and cozy.
For all those posts in blogosphere reminding moms what the warning signs of burnout and winter blues are and how to cope. This is harder than it seems, because the more you just want to get on top of things the more anxiety you have about being behind. Behind schedule for the day, the week, the ...
Much to think about on this one Tracy!!! I especially like this "being faithful to our daily routines is the best way to make progress." I feel like if I just stuck to this so much progress would be made, not only in my surroundings but in my spiritual life as well. Happy New Year!!! Loved your photo recap!
The curtains have closed on 2012 and opened for the next act: 2013. What will the new year bring? Will they be the result of planning, goal setting, and dreaming big? Some accomplishments might be made by leaps and bounds, but for most of us, being faithful to our daily routines is the best way ...
Thank you Elizabeth for sharing your precious moments. Just beautiful.
*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** So many moments I want to remember. Not for a second can I begin to capture them here. I think I've hesitated to put words to the moments because I'm quite sure I can't adequately express my heart. So, let's just try to catch a fe...
Thank you for sharing that video. So beautiful. Praying for all of you this day!! How wonderful!!! Congratulations!!
Twenty-five years ago today, a new life began. It grew from the love of a brand-new marriage. Nine months later, on September 29, 1988, a son was born. My firstborn. The baby who made me Mama, who made us family. Today, that boy--now grown to a man--will take a wife. In many ways, he's...
I think your pictures are beautiful. I love the ones of your tree. Your home looks nice and cozy. I smiled at the picture of your jacket and when I saw the Orange bowl patch. I also marched in the Orange Bowl parade one year. I played the French Horn for nine years. (sigh) Fun times!! I still have to get our Christmas cards out and I know my girls have letters to write ;0)
Merry Christmas to you all!!!
The wait is nearly over! Today we will light all four candles before packing away advent and bringing out the Christmas treasures. We were blessed with a quiet week - no ballet, one music lesson, completion of one more week of school, a first cello recital, and plenty of time to enjoy our ...
Oh my goodness!! So sweet. Great picture of your beautiful family!! All four of my girls are dancing in the same studio this year. I love it! I could watch my girls dance all day ;0)
Take care!
We've been hearing the sweet sounds of Tchaikovsky around here these days! It's Nutcracker time. After much thought and prayer, we switched dance schools last spring. This fall, for the first time, all four girls have danced together at the same studio. Mary Beth, Katie, and Karoline have been...
I loved reading your comment on my blog. It's nice to know I am not the only one running around all over town :0) and your home does look nice and cozy. So if it is a mess your snapshots are hiding it well ;0) I loved the picture of your children in the snow!!! We had some snowflakes today, however they melted as soon as they touched the ground. My guys looked do disappointed looking out the window. Hee hee.
Happy 2nd week of Advent!
The snowstorm was a gift today, a haven of rest between weeks with extra commitments. Being away from home is not the hard part - being out & about is fun - it's the coming home. It's deciding what to do with our precious time at home: clean, do laundry, cook, or...
great post Tracy!!! I ask myself those same questions!!! I think we all do as mom"s of many. Sometimes I think it is our little ones who get gipped here. I haven't read that other post yet, but I will.
For the last two weeks I have been chewing on Rachel's post - becoming a yes mom. Do you ever do that with blog posts? They get you where it hurts, but in a good way, and you slowly digest and implement an approach to life and parenting with which you struggle. This one did it to me - but it al...
Wow! Love those dresses!!! Please share! I would love to make some dresses for my little girls. They are so vintage looking.
Great job!

Both groups, he
said, "have explained their points of view to me and I personally
believe it is important, as I have said on repeated occasions, that
there needs to be a political agreement between all sectors of the
country" so that those who don't think conditions currently exist for
legitimate elections in December can feel "that the doors are open for
authentic and truly democratic elections."
cardinal-designate said that his meeting with opposition leaders was a
reflection of his commitment to dialogue and of the mission that the
bishops have as builders of peace in Venezuela.
Nevertheless, he
added, the greatest responsibility falls to the ruling party, which
holds a majority in all branches of government and has the duty to
ensure free and fair elections in December.
He also said the
government must display a willingness to foster reconciliation in the
country and to "apply diverse measures of amnesty to those who have
been sentenced for crimes that have to do with political issues."
Archbishop Urosa
said the Church would continue to promote dialogue among the different
factions, as "the most important thing is that we find a democratic
solution to the existing disagreements."
Venezuelan Archbishop calls for understanding between government and opposition groups

VSTa was originally written to run on i386 hardware, but was subsequently ported to several different platforms, e.g. 68030 based Amigas.

Although the Supreme Court announced today that it will refuse to hear a challenge to Texas's ban on the public carrying of firearms by 18-20 year-olds, the Justices are expected to soon take-up the broader issue of overly restrictive gun-carry laws in another series of cases that have been working their way through the judicial system.

Three bipartisan proposals to address income inequality Obama didn't mention in SOTU
In what he framed as the "defining project of our generation," President Barack Obama vowed last night in his annual State of the Union address to aggressively address economic inequality in America, with or without support from Congress.
But instead of focusing on areas designed only to create wedge issues for the 2014 election, the President could have focused on proposals with bipartisan support that effectively address the issue of economic inequality.

The Supreme Court agreed late last week to hear a First Amendment case involving the government's threatened prosecution of political speakers who allegedly mislead their listeners.
Judge's Chicago gun decision a big gift to Second Amendment supporters, the NRA
Adding to the growing body of pro-Second Amendment judicial precedent, a Federal Judge Monday overturned Chicago's ban on retail gun sales. Judge Edmond Chang also overturned the city's ban on private gun transfers between individuals.
The legal victory is a bigger win for gun-rights activists than it appears at face value.

A Federal Judge in New York handed the Obama administration a legal victory for its controversial phone data collection program last week, concluding that the program was a legal and vital "counter-punch" against increasingly sophisticated terrorism networks.
Four things every American should know about the NSA's surveillance programs
Ever since the revelation this June that the National Security Agency has been silently collecting data on millions of Americans, civil libertarians have become increasingly alarmed by additional specifics that have slowly come to light. And now, the NSA programs are being pitted against Americans' Constitutional rights in a case that could drastically impact United States surveillance in the future.

Historical Traveler Reviews Omni Berkshire Place New York City
Perfect place
We arrived for a Christmas Holiday and found the accomodations excellent. We found ourselves in the snowstorm that came in on Dec. 5-7. We did not know what to do for a room when our flight was cancelled. We called downstairs to find that we were taken care of. The hotel is huge.. We loved every single minute of our stay. I highly recommend to ANYONE staying in New York City. We were only 2-3 minutes from Rockefeller Center and the Christmas Tree....
Wonderful experience, excellent hotel
From the moment we stepped out of the airport cab on arrival till we got back into the car arranged for me by the hotel doorman, the Omni was fantastic. Room was large, clean and well stocked. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The bathroom was especially nice - big tub and nice glass shower. Highly recommended.
Great location, very comfortable hotel.
The Omni was great. Rooms were large, clean, quiet and comfortable. The location was perfect, walking distance to Times Square, Empire State and Rockefeller etc. We recommend one of the deli restaurants or bakeries for breakfast, the hotel food was overpriced and not that great. NYC was fantastic, we can't wait to go back for another visit!
Highly Recommended
I travel to New York very frequently for business and pleasure and have now stayed at the Omni Berkshire Place 10 or 11 times. What keeps me coming back: usually reasonable rates; rooms that are much larger than most in NY; good bathrooms; comfortable rooms; a super location--steps from most shopping destinations, an easy walk to Broadway, easy to get downtown; a generally pleasant staff (weakness--front desk and bell staff) and good treatment of return guests. This is not the Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton. But at half the price, it's a good, solid NY hotel that doesn't feel impersonal and overwhelming and in a location that can't be beat. I highly recommend it.
Fantastic, Couldn't Fault It
Stayed here in July 03 on trip to celebrate my dad's 60th Birthday. I had searched and searched the Internet for somewhere within a budget, but still suitably impressive for my parents first visit to NY. All 6 in our party were not disappointed. The hotel and rooms were excellent, the staff could not do enough for us (recommendations for food, reservations, transport, and even helicopter trips), and they even called me in the UK a week before to answer some questions I had E-mailed them. The location is great, only a few seconds from 5th Ave (Shopping) and a short 5/10-minute stroll from both Central Park (up 5th or Madison Ave) and Times Square. Highly recommended. Brilliant, just want to go back now, and would definitely stay here again. I didnt book direct, but through a web agency, but that didnt make any difference to the staff or their treatment of us (see previous entry).
Friendly Service, Great Location
I usually stay at Starwood properties but I had come across a fantastic deal the Omni Berkshire Place. - $149.50/nt. I decided I would give it a try.
Awful Front Desk Service at Omni Berkshire
Booked a room at the Omni for a weekend, reserving for four people (request of two double beds) through a travel agent. Called in advance to confirm reservation, front desk staff derisive of our travel agent, having conveniently 'lost' any indication of our request to be assured a room with two doubles. Multiple calls yielded the same party-line chicanery by front desk staff members, apparently trained to be snotty to anyone who hasn't booked their room directly through the Omni. Stay here only if oblivious to verbal abuse.
Omni Berkshire is Excellent!
We started visiting NYC 5 years ago on a regular basis (5-6 times per year) for business and pleasure and try to stay at the flagship Omni Berkshire at every chance we get. We've stayed at other similar class hotels in NYC (Regency, Benjamin, City Club, etc.), but always find ourselves wanting and needing to return to the Omni. It's an excellent hotel for the following reasons:- Luxurious linens (down comforters and pillows that you can sink right into) - rooms are decorated in a modern, sophisticated way with dark mahagony, and lemon-beige tones;- Good-sized 250-350 square feet rooms;- Well-lit, spacious and clean marble bathrooms with plenty of mirrors on all 3 sides;- Swiss bath amenities and bathrobe;- Fabulous location (52nd St./Madison Ave.);- Fairly priced rates and plenty of weekend/holiday specials and a frequent-stay program;- Courteous and gracious service once you walk in the door;- Complimentary high-speed Internet access for your notebook computer and NY Times delivered to your door each morning;- Turn-down service (nightly);- Plenty of desk space and comfortable reading chair and/or sofa;- Internet access and games available thru the 27-inch cable TV (minimal charge);- Decent-sized gym on the 17th floor with an accessible outdoor patio for sunny days;- Nice, discrete lobby to relax in (not too large nor too tiny)...Need we say more? Do try the Omni Berkshire on your next stay if you need someplace sophisticated, discrete and soulful to escape to.
Comfort at the Omni
Stayed for New Year. This was our first time in New York and our first hotel was awful. We subsequently checked in to the Omni Berkshire and found a peacful, luxurious and relaxed place to stay for the week. Service was excellent. Staff really helpfull. We had a nicely furnished Junior suite which was sapcious and extremely comfortable. The bed and pillows ensured the best sleeps we have ever had!
Downsides:Resaturant was too expensive but there is a good cafe diner across the road and loads of nearby restaurants and I still do not understand why your hotels do not provide Coffe & Tea making facilities?
Location perfect for our needs. It will be very hard to stay anywhere else on our next visit!
Loved the Omni Hotel
Just got back from a weekend in New York City. The Omni hotel was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Nicely appointed room & great bathroom with crystal soap dishes etc.
The location is within walking distance of terrific shopping and restaurants.
I found the hotel restaurant pricey, but, across the street is a cafe for early mornings. Many varieties of restaurants nearby.
Definitely will return to the Omni.

Fans not working in Macbook Pro?
So, like many Macbook Pros, my unit has had issues with overheating. It generally runs at around 64 degrees celcius when I'm just using Safari and/or Word. I got SMC Fan Control to bump up the fan speed to try and cool down the running temperature about a month or two ago, and the average went down to more like 60 degrees. Then yesterday, a deep murmuring sputter started to sound from the fans and today the temperature was up to 79 degrees celcius and the fan speed says that it is running at 000rpm and I don't hear any fans spinning. Has this happened to anyone? I'm trying to keep my computer until the end of the semester in 2.5 weeks if at all possible... Is there a way to fix it or should I just call AppleCare?
Thanks! |

You might want to get a box fan and have it blowing air on the MacBook Pro, and then make sure it's on a flat surface so that the air can blow both over and under the MacBook Pro. Take it to Apple at the end of the semester if the box fan idea works, but be sure to delete any trace of SMCfancontrol or any other app like that. In response to your other question, I've been running SMCfancontrol (1.2.3) on my MacBook Pro for months and not had a problem.

Fans Say Farewell at Sunset to the Late, Great Huell Howser
If you want to end your hump day with a smile, click on through to the first photo adorning the top of Nita Lelyveld's wonderful LA Times summary of yesterday afternoon's Griffith Park Observatory tribute to the late Huell Howser. Taken by Brian van der Brug, it shows rows of people gathered on a hill, with the Hollywood sign in the background. Best thing about the pic? There was nothing Hollywood about the man being honored.
Lelyveld writes that some of those who made the Griffith Park pilgrimage were from faraway California small towns that Howser had covered. Others had equally fantastic connections to the roving KCET folk hero:
Lynne Green, 90, of Woodland Hills held court in high style in the first row of folding white seats, wearing a jaunty red hat decorated with a red feather and telling everyone she met about how, after she'd signed up at 80 for Buddy Powell's commercial acting class for seniors, Howser came to do a show on the class and "made me one of his featured speakers."
Kudos to LA City Councilman Tom LaBonge for organizing yesterday's event. The choice of the Observatory as a locale, misdirect-white-letters-in-the-background notwithstanding, was the perfect place to remember this local shooting star. As the sun set, it was time for all in attendance to make a wish; that Howser's microphone is still plugged in and a whole new level of Californians are about to get the "Howdie!"-"Amazing!" treatment. RIP.

Apologies dedicated readers (Mum) for leaving it so long since my last blog. So many things have happened in the last two weeks, but the main one that stands out in my mind is the SNOW!! It all began as Bianca, Kiri and I jumped on our bikes after a few drinks to ride to a party. As everybody at home (and now Bianca and Kiri) knows, it is not the best idea to follow my directions. After an hour of riding in the pelting snow we finally arrived at the party soaking wet and freezing cold. We looked through the window and saw all these lovely warm, happy and attractive people and decided it was time to turn around and bike home.. this time Kiri lead and it took ten minutes. Thankfully we didn't go in because when I looked in the mirror I discovered my mascara had ran half way down my face which Kiri and Bianca forgot to mention. Asides from this, it was soooooo cool! I've never seen snow like this and since then it has snowed several times and Lund looks like a postcard.
A few days later Tandi arrived!!! I was so excited to see her as she has been in England since September. I must say she is a bit of a bad influence on me as we left our bikes chained up at the train station for three days and caught five taxis that week.. I hadn't caught one before she got here! I will admit it was a nice change though. While she was here we went to another crazy welcome party, spent a day in Malmo, ate brownies and went to Copenhagen for a day with my housemate Victor. It was also my birthday while she was here which was awesome! We went to lunch with some exchange friends where I had the best steak sandwich! Tandi also surprised me with a candle in a dessert. That night we had burgers with my housemates who gave me a birthday cake and sang this cool Swedish birthday song, before having a korridor party and going to VGs. Caroline also made me birthday brownie cakes which were amazing! As you might imagine, Tandi and I failed at Australia Day and went to the party for about an hour and a half.. kudos to the rest of you Aussies! I also had my first class, but luckily it wasn't until 2 pm.
On Friday night we had the 'Tour de Chambre' which is where you take it in turns to host the whole korridor in your room, provide everyone drinks and play games. It was a very fun night. Some highlights included 'there is a moon in my cup', the national anthem battle, dancing on Jonathon's bed with lots of toilet paper and saying 'Jonathon' over and over again. In Swedish it sounds like a song, you should try it! I also tried snus, but it made me feel ill after five minutes so I won't be doing that again.
On Saturday Tandi and I had to get up at 8 to get a taxi to the train station where we met Bianca and Autumn for our London trip! They looked so lovely and fresh. Anyway, we got the train to Copenhagen and the flight the London where Tandi freaked us out by arriving 2 minutes before boarding closed. This brought back a few South America memories of always having to ask the bus driver to wait for mi amiga en el bano!
Once we got to London, we ventured to Jack and Ollie's place (friends from Peru) where we stay for the two nights. After having a typical (maybe??) fish and chip dinner Jack, Ollie, Rhys and their other friend took us to Shoreditch WHERE WE SAW HERMIONE GRANGER!!!!!!! That was probably the highlight of the night, even though she didn't let us take a photo. I got to poke her though. Matt and his brother also met us out and it was so nice to see them! The boys lived up to their craziness in Mancora and we didn't get home until 4.30.
The next day Bianca and I woke up at some ridiculously early hour to meet Autumn in town for some sightseeing. Firstly, we saw a Chinese festival in Leister Square and St. Pauls Cathedral. I loved seeing the Cathedral because there was a service on and a choir singing and the acoustics were amazing! Unfortunately there was the longest running 'occupy' movements out the front that smelt really bad. After the cathedral we saw London Bridge, Tower Bridge and Shakespeare's Globe theatre. Bianca and I then split from Autumn and went to Brick Lane where we ate curry with one of Bianca's amigos and spent hours at the markets; such a cool area! That night we ate dinner with Matt and Tanz before catching an English taxi back to boys place and crashing.
On our final day in London, we saw the London Eye, Big Ben (amazing!), the changing of the guards, all these other places on the bus, and hung out at Oxford St for a bit with my friend Alex!!! It was awesome to see him again after over a year. Anyway my list of things to do in London has grown by about ten times and I am going to go back for a week once it gets warmer.
After a crazy whirlwind trip, I'm glad to be home in tiny Lund. Oh there is one story I forgot to tell you.. When we were heading back to the airport the train was about to leave and the doors started closing, so Bianca (who was in the lead) sprinted in and of course the doors completely closed before Autumn and I could get on. The look on her face was priceless hahahha.
Anyway, I won't leave it so long until next time. Love to everyone at home! xx

Starting today and culminating on March 19th at the Center for Global Development, we hope you'll join a conversation along with experts from implementing agencies, governments, research institutions, and the private sector to discuss and debate what makes a "best buy" in global health.
By enacting discriminatory laws in Uganda and Nigeria, health is put at risk
A statement from Karl Hofmann, PSI President and CEO
PSI believes that all people share equal human rights and that no person should be subjected to discrimination or violence on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Men who have sex with men are among the highest risk groups for HIV transmission, and discriminatory laws such as those recently adopted in Nigeria and Uganda will increase stigma, incite violence and have a negative health impact.
Such laws also undermine progress toward universal health coverage for all, a national health objective sensibly embraced by Uganda, Nigeria, and many other countries in Africa.
The Kisakye Clinic – A private health center
CVS takes a page from development playbook
CVS's decision to quit marketing tobacco products is getting lots of well-deserved attention. And, I'd imagine competitors will follow suit. But its shift from drug store to health care provider is even more striking.
From marketing everything one might want or need (cigarettes, detergent, gum, prescriptions) towards marketing what one needs to want (prescriptions, wellness care, basic curative care… and sure, detergent too) will put CVS on the forefront of marketing for health and could possibly create a new model for health provision in the US.
In the non-profit world, it's what we call "social" marketing — a practice that's been around for decades but is getting renewed attention as a creative and cost-effective way to improve health around the world.
The Top 10 Global Health Moments in 2013
By Karl Hofmann, President & CEO, PSI
The end of each year provides the opportunity to reflect on what transpired and what was accomplished. Global health saw plenty of victories and setbacks in 2013. Drug resistant TB, slowing donor funding, new outbreaks of polio and a devastating typhoon showed how easily progress can stall.
Amid these challenges emerged a changing global health landscape. The old way of doing things is now, more than ever, on its way out. In the next five years, the range of actors that are engaging and making a difference in addressing global health issues will continue to broaden and expand, even as the underlying health challenges narrow, and as The Lancet recently described, converge.
The infrastructure that developed over the last 50 years to tackle global development – the United Nations, donor agencies, international NGOs, other intermediaries and host governments – now finds itself working more and more with corporations, impact investors, next generation philanthropists, and socially networked individuals. This burgeoning ecosystem of development actors generates unprecedented attention and potential resources to address global poverty. Getting the roles right for these and other players might have a lot to do with whether we can end extreme poverty during our lifetime.
These are our top 10 moments for global health in 2013. Top 10 lists inevitably leave lots out. What did our global health and development leaders miss? Let us know what you think and share a few of your predictions for 2014.
We include Haiyan not only for the unimaginable devastation it caused but as a reminder that when the media attention wanes and the world moves on, the health needs of the people affected will still be great.
"We will continue to serve these communities' immediate needs, as well as long-term needs including child and maternal health; nutrition; water, sanitation and hygiene; and mental health services." - Nancy A. Aossey, President & CEO of International Medical Corps
2. Malala Yousafzai's Ripple Effect on Family Planning
The impact of Malala Yousafzai's efforts on education is obvious, less so is the impact she will have on the reproductive health of girls and women. If Malala has her way, girls will not only be better educated, they will have healthier families, build stronger communities and contribute to more robust economies.

Leaving Our Legacy
By Jennifer Abrevaya, Sr. Manager, Customer Feedback and Response at Merck
By the final week of our Fellowship assignment, it was hard to believe how quickly the time had flown. In the time since my previous blog post, we created and refined our toolkit content, traveled back to Tanzania to pilot our work, made final changes based on the pilot, and were preparing to present the completed toolkit to the PSI home office staff. It had been a whirlwind, but so rewarding to look at this amazing resource and see the volume and quality of work we were able to accomplish in such a short time.
Our PSI supervisor Mary refers to the toolkit "our legacy." Once this short assignment was done, and we went back to our regular jobs next week, PSI would be using our work for years and years to come. It will be translated into several languages and made available to all 69 PSI platforms around the world. Years from now, Representatives will still participate in our workshops to improve their customer interactions; Marketing Directors will be referring to our guides to make sure they create resources that are relevant and compelling; and Supervisors will be running their operations and coaching their teams more effectively. The private sector expertise that we have at Merck will be applied in a nonprofit way, all in the name of improving the health of patients in need.
Even though this toolkit will be used for a long time, we were already able to see some immediate results. For instance –in Tanzania, we conducted several Advanced Communication workshops with the sales team, and after the meeting went out in the field to see how they were able to start incorporating their new skills into their customer conversations. Every single representative used what they had learned in the workshops, and the already high-quality of the medical discussions compared to our first trip in May had improved even more. Seeing such results just a day after the workshops, it was breathtaking to think about how this would be multiplied over the years, as more and more of PSI's sales teams were coached on these new skills through our work. And combined with even better visual resources and coaching, they will have the opportunity to save a lot of patient lives as they give providers the important medical information they need.
Often at Merck, we don't often take the time to stop and enjoy the fruits of our labor… we focus hard on our projects and tasks, and then move on as each box is checked. We don't always think about our work as a legacy that contributes long-term to the health of patients worldwide. I've come back to Merck with this new mindset – thinking of how my contributions will have an impact on public health for years to come.
Our RTC Fellowship assignment was the experience of a lifetime. Our team is so grateful to PSI for the opportunity, as well as the hospitality and inspiration that we were given every single day. And we look forward to continuing our relationship with the organization – Merck gives each of us 40 hours per year of volunteer time, and we've already offered our hours to PSI so that we can continue to help care for Sara.
Taking care of Sara
By Jennifer Abrevaya, Sr. Manager, Customer Feedback and Response at Merck
In our first days at PSI, our team worked to absorb as much information as we could. Mary, our PSI project manager, put together a great onboarding that helped us learn about PSI's work directly from their subject matter experts. We spent the first two weeks learning about PSI's products and services for family planning, safe water, malaria prevention, and much more… all geared towards a woman we learned about named Sara.
In the world of Customer Experience (my main focus at Merck), a person such as Sara is a really powerful tool for connecting with your customer. A persona is an archetype of one of an organization's key customers that helps bring the customer to life – it takes you beyond basic demographic and purchasing data, and instead creates a vivid portrait that makes the archetype feel like a real person. It helps in making customer-focused decisions, because you see the world through that customer's eyes instead of your own.
The Same Same, but Different
By Jennifer Abrevaya, Sr. Manager, Customer Feedback and Response at Merck
Tuesday morning – my teammate Myla and I were headed out on our first field visit in Tanzania. Our rep (aka "Medical Detailer") Phidman had planned a full day of visits to clinics in Dar Es Salaam. We were accompanied by Frederick Mwamba and Robinson Katule, on the sales leadership team for PSI Tanzania. And we were being taken from clinic to clinic by one of PSI's drivers, which was a new experience for us – in the US, reps are alone every day, driving themselves around their territories.
Our 4-wheel-drive vehicle slowly lurched and tumbled over the unpaved roads as we navigated enormous rocks and craters on our way. I grinned as I braced myself in my seat, noticing sights that showed some commonalities with the US with a twist – a woman carrying a bucket of water on her head, wearing a Facebook t-shirt; little buses bursting at the seams with commuters; and of course, the fact that we were tackling the bumpy side roads this morning so that we could avoid Dar Es Salaam's morning rush hour mayhem. As our PSI manager Mary often told our team, it's "the same same, but different."
Over the course of the day, Phidman brought us to some of his top providers in that week's routing. Clinic by clinic, they showed us hospitality by finding seats for our entire motley crew so that we could meet with the provider in comfort. Even one of the tougher doctors in Phidman's territory made sure that we all sat in the big plastic lawn chairs that the nurse wedged into his small office. Compared to the US, even the nicer clinics have the barest of necessities to treat patients… but they work to make sure that everyone they see, be it a client or a crew of sales people from PSI, is comfortable.
PSI/Guatemala Hosts USAID's Dr. Ariel Pablos-Méndez
Dr. Ariel Pablos-Méndez, Assistant Administrator for Global Health at USAID, recently visited various health projects supported by USAID in Guatemala. The USAID|PlanFam project, supported by PSI/Guatemala was one of the stops.
USAID|PlanFam project organized three activities related to sexual and reproductive health where Dr. Pablos-Méndez had the chance to actively participate:
a) visit a family planning clinic at Chichicastenango Centro de Atención Permanente (CAP) to observe infrastructure improvements, biosecurity, and the experiences of health providers related to training and skills to deliver FP services,
b) visit a local FP user´s household to exchange positive experiences about the use of modern family planning methods and attendance to health services, and
c) visit a health fair targeted to 120 adolescents to promote delayed sexual debut and the prevention of unplanned pregnancies, in the public school Cantón Chugüexá I.
How Social Franchises in Myanmar Target Clients with TB
By May Sudhinaraset , PhD. This post is a part of the recent PSI report "Private Sector Healthcare in Myanmar: Evidence from the 'Sun' Social Franchise." See the full series here.
The Sun Quality Health (SQH) social franchise program networks private clinicians, with the goal of serving low-income populations in urban and peri-urban areas across Myanmar. A study published in 2013 by Montagu and colleagues found that the population served in SQH clinics reflects the poorest populations in urban Myanmar. In rural areas, no difference in socioeconomic status, as defined by asset wealth scores, existed between the general population and SQH clinics.
The TB prevalence rate is higher in urban areas compared to rural areas, and thus more case detection activities are in place to target urban patients. SQH providers expanded their services to include TB diagnosis and treatment in 2004, and people come in to the SQH system in a number of ways: through word-of-mouth, community education campaigns, and referrals. Other activities include community-based TB screening events and incentive schemes to promote referrals from local drug sellers and others to the franchise network.

Biomechanics approaches to studying human diseases Trends in Biotechnology, Volume 25, Issue 3, 1 March 2007, Pages 111-118 Gabriel Y.H. Lee and Chwee T. Lim Abstract Nanobiomechanics has recently been identified as an emerging field that can potentially make significant contributions in the study of human diseases. Research into biomechanics at the cellular and molecular levels of some human diseases has not only led to a better elucidation of the mechanisms behind disease progression, because diseased cells differ physically from healthy ones, but has also provided important knowledge in the fight against these diseases. This article highlights some of the cell and molecular biomechanics research carried out on human diseases such as malaria, sickle cell anemia and cancer and aims to provide further important insights into the pathophysiology of such diseases. It is hoped that this can lead to new methods of early detection, diagnosis and treatment. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (696 kb) |
Dimensions of Plectonemically Supercoiled DNA Biophysical Journal, Volume 83, Issue 2, 1 August 2002, Pages 1106-1118 Svetlana S. Zakharova, Wim Jesse, Claude Backendorf, Stefan U. Egelhaaf, Alain Lapp and Johan R.C. van der Maarel Abstract With a view to determine the configuration and regularity of plectonemically supercoiled DNA, we have measured the small angle neutron scattering from pUC18 plasmid in saline solutions. Furthermore, we have derived the mathematical expression for the single chain scattering function (form factor) of a superhelical structure, including the longitudinal and transverse interference over the plectonemic pitch and radius, respectively. It was found that an interwound configuration describes the data well, provided interactions among supercoils are accounted for in the second virial approximation. The opening angle was observed to be relatively constant and close to 58°, but it was necessary to include a significant distribution in radius and pitch. For diluted supercoils with vanishing mutual interaction, the derived structural results agree with independent measurements, including the distribution in linking number deficit as determined by gel electrophoresis. With increasing plasmid concentration, prior and covering the transition to the liquid-crystalline phase, the radius and pitch are seen to decrease significantly. The latter observation shows that compaction of negatively supercoiled DNA by confinement results in a decrease in writhing number at the cost of a positive twist exerted on the DNA duplex. It is our conjecture that the free energy associated with this excess twist is of paramount importance in controlling the critical boundaries pertaining to the transition to the anisotropic, liquid-crystalline phase.

Viscoelasticity as a Biomarker for High-Throughput Flow Cytometry Biophysical Journal, Volume 105, Issue 10, 19 November 2013, Pages 2281-2288 Tobias Sawetzki, Charles D. Eggleton, Sanjay A. Desai and David W.M. Marr Abstract The mechanical properties of living cells are a label-free biophysical marker of cell viability and health; however, their use has been greatly limited by low measurement throughput. Although examining individual cells at high rates is now commonplace with fluorescence activated cell sorters, development of comparable techniques that nondestructively probe cell mechanics remains challenging. A fundamental hurdle is the signal response time. Where light scattering and fluorescence signatures are virtually instantaneous, the cell stress relaxation, typically occurring on the order of seconds, limits the potential speed of elastic property measurement. To overcome this intrinsic barrier to rapid analysis, we show here that cell viscoelastic properties measured at frequencies far higher than those associated with cell relaxation can be used as a means of identifying significant differences in cell phenotype. In these studies, we explore changes in erythrocyte mechanical properties caused by infection with Plasmodium falciparum and find that the elastic response alone fails to detect malaria at high frequencies. At timescales associated with rapid assays, however, we observe that the inelastic response shows significant changes and can be used as a reliable indicator of infection, establishing the dynamic viscoelasticity as a basis for nondestructive mechanical analogs of current high-throughput cell classification methods.

When a dielectric object is placed between two opposed, nonfocused laser beams, the total force acting on the object is zero but the surface forces are additive, thus leading to a stretching of the object along the axis of the beams. Using this principle, we have constructed a device, called an optical stretcher, that can be used to measure the viscoelastic properties of dielectric materials, including biologic materials such as cells, with the sensitivity necessary to distinguish even between different individual cytoskeletal phenotypes. We have successfully used the optical stretcher to deform human erythrocytes and mouse fibroblasts. In the optical stretcher, no focusing is required, thus radiation damage is minimized and the surface forces are not limited by the light power. The magnitude of the deforming forces in the optical stretcher thus bridges the gap between optical tweezers and atomic force microscopy for the study of biologic materials.

Presynaptic BDNF Required for a Presynaptic but Not Postsynaptic Component of LTP at Hippocampal CA1-CA3 Synapses Neuron, Volume 39, Issue 6, 11 September 2003, Pages 975-990 Stanislav S Zakharenko, Susan L Patterson, Ioannis Dragatsis, Scott O Zeitlin, Steven A Siegelbaum, Eric R Kandel and Alexei Morozov Summary Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been implicated in several forms of long-term potentiation (LTP) at different hippocampal synapses. Using two-photon imaging of FM 1-43, a fluorescent marker of synaptic vesicle cycling, we find that BDNF is selectively required for those forms of LTP at Schaffer collateral synapses that recruit a presynaptic component of expression. BDNF-dependent forms of LTP also require activation of L-type voltage-gated calcium channels. One form of LTP with presynaptic expression, theta burst LTP, is thought to be of particular behavioral importance. Using restricted genetic deletion to selectively disrupt BDNF production in either the entire forebrain (CA3 and CA1) or in only the postsynaptic CA1 neuron, we localize the source of BDNF required for LTP to presynaptic neurons. These results suggest that long-term synaptic plasticity has distinct presynaptic and postsynaptic modules. Release of BDNF from CA3 neurons is required to recruit the presynaptic, but not postsynaptic, module of plasticity. Summary | Full Text | PDF (736 kb) |
Functional Expression of the L-Type Calcium Channel in Mice Skeletal Muscle during Prenatal Myogenesis Biophysical Journal, Volume 78, Issue 3, 1 March 2000, Pages 1282-1292 Caroline Strube, Yves Tourneur and Carlos Ojeda Abstract The densities of skeletal muscle intramembrane charge movement and macroscopic L-type Ca2+ current have been shown to increase during prenatal development. In the present work, the electrophysiological characteristics of L-type Ca2+ channels were analyzed over the embryonic period E14 to E19 using the whole-cell and cell-attached procedures. At the macroscopic level, the whole-cell L-type Ca2+ conductance increased 100% between E14 and E19. This enhancement was accompanied by a small negative shift of the voltage dependence and a marked acceleration of the inactivation kinetics. At the single-channel level, the unitary conductance decreased significantly from 13.2±0.1pS (n=8) at E14 to 10.7±0.3pS (n=7) at E18 and the open probability was multiplied by 2. No significant change of the density of functional channels was observed during the same period. In contrast to the density of intramembrane charge movement, which, under the same conditions, has been shown to increase between 16 and 19 days, L-type Ca2+ channels properties change mostly between 14 and 16 days. Taken together, these results suggest that the two functions of the dihydropyridine receptor are carried by two different proteins which could be differentially regulated by subunit composition and/or degree of phosphorylation.

Localization and function of the electrical oscillation in electroreceptive ampullary epithelium from skates Biophysical Journal, Volume 69, Issue 6, 1 December 1995, Pages 2458-2466 J. Lu and H.M. Fishman Abstract A steady, spontaneous current oscillation (1 nA p-p) occurs in voltage-clamped, isolated ampullary organs (canal, ampulla, and nerve) from skates (Raja). Spectral analysis showed that energy in the oscillation was confined to a narrow band of frequencies (3 Hz) about a fundamental frequency (32 Hz at 20 degrees C) and in harmonics. The frequency of the oscillation was temperature dependent (increasing from 21 to 33 Hz for increases in temperature from 13 degrees C to 21 degrees C). The addition of 0.5 microM tetrodotoxin to the basal side of the ampullary epithelium eliminated afferent nerve activity but had no effect on the epithelial oscillation, indicating that the oscillation is not generated or induced by afferent nerve activity. Nitrendipine (2 microM) added to the solution bathing the basal side of the ampullary epithelium abolished the oscillation rapidly (within minutes), but a steady-state negative conductance (i.e., real part of the complex admittance < 0) generated by the preparation remained for 36min. Conversely, nitrendipine (50 microM) added to the perfusate (artificial sea water) of the apical side eliminated the negative conductance rapidly (18.5 min) but had no effect on the spontaneous oscillation for more than 1 h. The effect and the elapsed time for an effect of nitrendipine after separate applications to the basal and apical membrane surfaces of ampullary epithelium suggest that 1) the negative conductance and the oscillation are generated independently in apical and basal membranes, respectively, and 2) both processes involve L-type Ca channels. Furthermore, the addition of tetraethylammonium (2 mM) to the basal side eliminated both the oscillation and the postsynaptic response to voltage clamps (< or = 100 microV) of the ampullary epithelium in the operational voltage range of the afferent nerve. This result suggests that the basal membrane oscillation functions in neurotransmitter release from presynaptic (basal) membranes. Abstract | PDF (1007 kb) |

Research Article
J. Ma and R. Coronado
Department of Physiology and Molecular Biophysics, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas 77030.
The single channel conductance of the dihydropyridine (DHP)-sensitive calcium channel from rabbit skeletal muscle transverse tubules was analyzed in detail using the planar bilayer recording technique. With 0.1 M BaCl2 on both sides of the channel (symmetrical solutions), the most frequent conductance is 12 pS, which is independent of holding potential in the range of -80 to +80 mV. This conductance accounts for approximately 80% of all openings analyzed close to 0 mV. Two additional channels of conductance 9 and 3 pS are also present at all positive potentials, but their relative occurrence close to 0 mV is low. All channels depend on the presence of agonist Bay K 8644 and are inhibited by the antagonist nitrendipine. The relative occurrence of 9 and 3 pS can be increased, and that of 12 pS decreased, by several interventions such as external addition of cholesterol, lectin (wheat germ agglutinin), or calmodulin inhibitor R24571 (calmidazolium). The 9- and 3-pS channels are also conspicuous at positive potentials larger than +40 mV. We suggest that 9- and 3-pS channels are two elementary conductances of the same DHP-sensitive Ca channel. Under most circumstances, these two conductances are gated in a coupled way to generate a channel with a unitary conductance of 12 pS. Interventions tested, including large depolarizations, probably decompose or uncouple the 12-pS channel into 9 and 3 pS.

Samantha Power is certain to win confirmation for the post of Ambassador to the UN. Her execrable testimony at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee yesterday all but sealed the deal. And why now, when a so-called human rights defender has the support of people like Alan Dershowitz, who advocates the destruction of entire Palestinian villages, and other notable bleeding hearts like John McCain, Joe Lieberman, Max Boot and others. I report for IPS here.

Australia has long been one of the countries that often, though not always, have voted in the United Nations General Assembly with the United States and Israel in votes
overwhelmingly going against them. It had been made clear by Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard that this would be the case again. She promised that Australia would oppose the rather tepid resolution the Palestinians are bringing to the general Assembly to upgrade their status to Non-Member Observer.
But her "best" intentions were thwarted by a revolt within her own party, Labor, when her cabinet ministers warned her that Labor's parliamentary caucus would vote against her decision to support the Israeli position and that this could cause a crisis that might even bring down her government. So, Gillard has decided that Australia will abstain in the UN vote.
The significance of this is not lost on Israel, though the scant global attention being paid to it indicates that it is lost on many others. Australia's close relationship to Israel is long-standing, and has been consistent through both center-left (which is Labor) and center-right governments. (more…)
The Draft Resolution the Palestinians Plan to Submit to the UNGA

Pasted below is the full text, as it currently stands, of the resolution the Palestinian Authority is planning to bring to the UN General Assembly, apparently on November 29.
The resolution is extremely mild, calling for the State of Palestine to be accorded the same status in the GA as the Vatican has. It also calls for a two-state solution, the resumption of talks based on the relevant resolutions and past negotiations, and for the Security Council to consider "favorably" the application for full membership submitted last year.
None of this can be considered radical or extremist, and most of it is obviously necessary if there is to be any progress toward any resolution. While it can be argued that the two-state solution has already passed the point where it can be reasonably implemented, this remains the stated goal of the US, EU, Palestinian Authority, Arab League and even Israel. It's pretty hard to see any reasonable argument against this resolution, and even harder to see why this would send the US and Israel into the tizzy it has. (more…)

"Absence of Water" by Gigi Cifali
September 24, 2013 by Jack Smylie , Posted in Tech, Tagged
Gigi Cifali, ITALY, photography, Ritrovo di Shazar
There's always something intriguing and hard hitting about revisiting buildings or environments that once thrived with human activity and now sit in various states of decay. Gigi Cifali satisfies this intrigue with Absence of Water, which sees the London-based photographer visit forgotten, decrepit public swimming pools. While there is a sense of loneliness to each shot, we also get a feel for the amazing designs of each pool and the architecture that houses them. If you visit Cifali's website, each pool shot is accompanied by its attendance records and date of opening/closing. The series first debuted at the Ritrovo di Shazar in Italy, back in May 2011.
