I've wrestled this particular monster for a few weeks now and seeing as I've used sources from all over I thought I might be able to save someone else some time and trouble and post my 'how to'.
Before I get into it: It took me a while to work through a variety of different methods to accomplish my goal. My goal was to create a thin client that would be able to boot off pxe and load into a remote desktop session with our terminal server that would maintain connection after a user logged out. I didn't want multiple sign on's or a desktop that a user could view/manipulate or the ability to cancel out of the terminal session. So here's what I did:
1. Install Ubuntu 11.10 on Hyper-V host running Windows Server. I found a great walk-through for this at Narendra Patel's site. It covered everything I needed, including the bain of my existence when trying to proof of concept on another box, the network interface. Getting Ubuntu to correctly use apt-get to install and update through an NTLM proxy was always a pain. But after following those instructions it works a treat. i can install all the necessary software and just manually change the browser proxy settings if i needed.
2. Install a remote desktop client on the server. (honestly i was getting tired of standing at the terminal in my server room.) i used sudo apt-get install xrdp. the only thing i needed to do was change the keyboard shortcut keys. ('D' was set to minimize all windows. i set it to Alt + D and moved on.)
3. Install LTSP. Awesome step by step found here at Mojotechblog. My setup was actually easier as i didn't need to make any changes to eth0 after following Narendra's guide. Briefly, it was:
sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone openssh-server
gedit /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf and corrected the settings to apply to my network.
ltsp-build-client -arch i386
gedit /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf which created a conf file for my thin clients to use. I kept it fairly simple and added the following lines in:
RDP_OPTIONS = "-f -a 16"
RDP_SERVER = TS_IP_Address_goes_here
SCREEN_02 = rdesktop
I found without the rdp options -a and 16 i'd get nothing but a black screen and white cursor. had to add -f to full screen it otherwise i got a box about 800 x 600 in the top left for the terminal session.
4. finally i just wanted to make sure it was all up to date across the board so i ran:
sudo ltsp-update-image ltsp-update-sshkeys
5. and rebooted the server for good measure.
that's all it took to set up my ltsp server for thin clients to boot straight into a terminal server session. Just a few things I didn't have success with:
1. Windows Thin PC. I thought this might have been easiest to use due to already running a windows network environment and just installing this to older machines. The problem was that it's speed was still very dependent on the system's crappy internals to boot and couldn't quite get an rdp session to open like i desired. I had the help of another edugeek member (Thanks for all the help, FN-GM!) wherein we tried using vbscripts to open a default.rdp preconfigured with the settings i wanted but that never quite worked. We also tried using RDP+ but that was a whole other headache to run. (however it did work great if you could get the scripts to work properly) But again this didn't fulfill my main requirements for a thin client so i moved on.
2. Thinstation. Sounds great when i first heard of it. can boot off pxe or etherboot, only 10-15mb img file, can add rdesktop in to the build. but for the life of me couldn't get it running. some of it was my fault (i manually created a 'tftpboot' folder on my ubuntu test box and pointed my dhcp to that when i should have installed ltsp and found the real tftpboot folder under /var/lib/ not in /) but even after realizing my mistake it wouldn't boot pxelinux.0 without missing 'diag' folder. I still have never seen that folder. I'm making an educated guess that it is on the full install image but again it wouldn't install on any of my test machines to allow me to copy that folder. once i had ubuntu ltsp up and running i realize how much easier it would be to just work with that and there we had it.
Wanted to give an update/warning. Upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 broke my thin client setup. Maybe I was just unfortunate but the package upgrades created an error with my dhcp3-server and had to completely kill it out. Went as far as having to manually delete the cache files before it was able to reinstall properly. then found the thin clients giving an error message that i'm attributing to missing modules. tried updating client image, didn't work, so i've completely reinstalled ltsp-server-standalone and its currently rebuilding my i386 image. Hope no one else has to go through this...
so the 'upgrade' totally hosed the dhcp service. won't start no matter what I've tried so far. Will probably have to re-do the entire server. while looking at this how-to again, i can't seem to open Narendra's guide so I found a copy of it on isummation. Installing Ubuntu Server 11.04 64bit on Hyper-V - iSummation WebSite
I think I will give FreeRDP a run this time. I've just finished reinstalling my ubuntu server.
oh man. what a rough few weeks. anyway, i've finally gotten time to sit down and smack this around a bit. took a little time to work out some bugs and had to jump on the ltsp irc for a chat but it is up and functioning now with freerdp.
For those that don't know, freerdp is now the default rdp client in ltsp. the first difference I noticed with freerdp is that it actually remembers the domain so that students no longer have to type domainname\studentuser to login to our Terminal server, just username now. but to save you fine people the pain of set up here is what i had to do:
on a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04, i installed the ltsp-standalone-server openssh-server as before.
removed isc-dhcp-server as it wasn't needed with our MS dhcp server doing the boot work.
had to make some adjustments to a few config files here they are:
sudo gedit /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ltsp/xinitrc
add this line below . /usr/share/ltsp/ltsp-client-functions
export HOME=${HOME:-/root}
i did try to setup nat as i read one user was having the same issue and this corrected it for him when using a virtual machine like my setup.
install nat
sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
uncommented the line net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
add entries to iptables
the key i believe though is of course the lts.conf file. with freerdp you have to tell it to ignore network level authentication and certificates otherwise it'll hang. also adding a few other options helped the look. here is my lts.conf for reference:
SOUND = True
NBD_SWAP = True
SCREEN_04 = ldm
SCREEN_07 = xfreerdp
RDP_OPTIONS = "--no-nla --ignore-certificate -z --gdi sw -f 172.16.0.12"
the first two options relate to the authentication and cert. -z is for compression i believe and most importantly --gdi sw is for the graphics. without this option it looks horrible on our clients. -f is full screen and the ip is for our internal terminal server.
there we have it. it was rough going for me and frustrating at time so i hope this helps someone else out. thanks to alkis and variant over at ltsp for helping me out.
I have been also looking at LTSP. How many client do you have running from on Ubuntu server? Does it work like your running a RDP session inside a linux terminal session or is there a client image downloaded to the client on boot?
well, despite my issues I think it was fairly easy and straightforward to setup LTSP. Currently, I've got about 30 thin client machines around school, i'll be adding more to this number as i finish diags on some other machines. they are a mix of 7 year old Dell's and 5 year old Asus units. All can boot in about 15 seconds to a login screen. It looks exactly like if they were in front of the terminal servers display itself. No close connection bar at top, on logout it goes straight back to the login screen, etc. basically nothing for a student to cause any problems with (as long as you have the right GPO for students to use TS).
there is a small image downloaded to the client on boot which opens xfreerdp in screen 7, in my lts.conf you can see this. I have since removed ldm and xterm. those i used to troubleshoot a thin client connection and its running fine now so i just killed them out. (xterm allowed me to ping the servers and check IP and ldm gave me a desktop to work with if i wanted. you can swap between screens on a thin client by holding ctrl + alt + function key number correlating to the screen number.)
Is the processing done the the client or the ubuntu server please? (ignore the session for now )
What happens if the users presses CTRL + ALT + DEL does it work like it does on a desktop?
Also are you using it with RDS Broker? What OS is the RDS servers running please?
Also can i name my ThinClients something Logical please?
Last edited by FN-GM; 19th June 2012 at 12:01 AM.
on boot the ubuntu server handles the request for the pxelinux.0 file and then loads the image to the client. the image is loaded into memory on the thin client and the ubuntu server doesn't have much else to do with it at that point. (i've pulled all the HDD's from my thin clients just to reduce electricity usage, noise, and heat.) if you choose to try and use the LDM (display manager, something like a linux login screen that can load a *nix desktop. not sure which one, maybe Gnome) then the ubuntu server will be used to authenticate the user but thats about it.
Ctrl alt del is disabled when you are on the RDP screen. if you switch to xterm screen, ctrl alt del will reboot. (one reason to just have freerdp designated in your lts.conf file)
don't currently use rds broker just basic terminal sessions manager on server 2k8 r2.
as an aside, i'm currently working on installing SSO to the ubuntu server as well to get more function out of it.
Did you use Ubuntu Desktop of the Server edition to get this going please?
You should use broker. If i machine is powered off when the users logs back on broker will find the existing session and connect it up. One of the reason i am looking at this is we have a pile of Thin Clients that dont support broker so it would be handy.
Do you know how you can get CTRL + ALT + DEL working please?
ooo what will that do please?as an aside, i'm currently working on installing SSO to the ubuntu server as well to get more function out of it
using the x64 ubuntu server edition 12.04 now.
I'll take a look in to broker now that i'm aware of it.
Are you wanting to use ctrl alt del to pull up lock, switch user, task manager, change password? once the user is logged in then they have those options using ctrl alt del (based on policy of course). i thought you were just curious about if it would reboot the client haha. my students only have access to log off when hitting ctrl alt del so that is the only option they see.
SSO - single sign on that would allow a student/user to login to their school account and then it would automatically log them in to their google apps accounts and moodle account. the end user would only see one login screen (windows 7 login) and would be able to access all their data (emails, google drive, google docs, moodle assignments, etc.) some vendors have offered this to us but its a monthly or annual fee based on number of users. i thought, we could do this for nothing. I'm working on shibboleth identity provider with apache tomcat 7 to do this on our ubuntu machine. still unforeseen if it will work or not lol.
We use change password as well for students and staff have task manager so thats what i was wondering.
What happens when you boot the machines and leave the session not logged on? Does something happen? Does it disconnect?
Do you name your ThinClients please?
Oh right, we are pretty much set on SSO so wont be needing that
in the previous version of ltsp with rdesktop as the rdp client it would go in to standby. i'm discovering with the new ltsp using xfreerdp that the client machine appears to shut the connection completely after some time without any activity. i've only had this new setup running for less than a week so haven't got any hard numbers yet. I think it would be best to close it completely so it doesn't keep the performance high on the TS and frees up a CAL for another user. but it seems upon wake it doesn't re-establish the connection as previous version did. the machine has to be rebooted to do this. there might be a fix but haven't gotten to it yet.
thin clients on the ts are named in order of connection such as #ltsp0001 , #ltsp0002, yada yada. i haven't bother naming them. using the lts.conf though i can specify different options using MAC addresses for different machines. for example, i might throw a few thin clients in to our staff break room and could add an xterm screen to those if i wanted quick access while having my lunch. (cause when do we ever get breaks, right?)
ooo not good our machines are locked away so that would be a big no no.
I will bring my test laptop to work tomorrow and give this a bash. I hope it works well
Thanks for taking part in my grilling!

List of Low Calorie products at Costco
I'd like to get a list of products at Costco that could be described as low calorie that might be useful to those of us of a certain age and an interest in diminishing our girth.
Where to begin with this thread...
Let's just say that if you're counting calories, all products at Costco can be considered low calorie as long as you only eat a portion sized to deliver your goal calorie amount.
And avoid the baked goods section. And maybe the raw baking ingredient section too.
re: trane
Like trane said, "low calories" doesn't necessarily mean healthy. I'll substitute your "low calories" for "Healthy, weight loss friendly" items.
-Quinoa , which replaces rice in almost all my meals.
-Prewashed salads and greens are great
-All those pre-cut fruits make it easy for you to substitute your deserts
-Frozen fish filets (Olivia brand here in Canada) are high in sodium but still low in calories and fat.
-Small yogurt (greek for example) cups are a good snack choice in lunches
-Chicken breasts. Obviously. Seperate them and freeze them.
-Some Real-Fruit frozen popsickles are good. Look at what's in them.
-Packs of Crystal Light water flavouring if you have trouble drinking your daily water amount.
-Nuts of any kind. Less sugar the better. Try not to have the cashews, they are fatty.
As you noticed, there are very little "prepared" foods which will help you lose weight. Portion control and making your own food will let you control what goes in it.
re: SourberryLily
want to add/expand on what sourberrylily said:
almost every single item in the walk-in produce refrigerator will fit the bill for your needs.
in particular i use a lot of the sugar snap peas (which are always sweet and stringless).
their prewashed organic lettuce mix is better than it used to be (less moisture so less wilting)
I have been working on weight control and a couple of items that have been helpful:
Single packets of Sabra Hummus, pretzels, baby carrots, and apple slices, grapefruit sections. Love the mini sweet peppers as well.
I love the Amylu Gouda and red pepper burgers- they come 2 to a pack, easy to microwave and a great protein source. And the Dietz and Watson Turkey cold cuts have a thickness that makes for easy roll-ups. I don't even miss the bread.
These have been my work staples the past few weeks: convenient and keeping me out of the cafeteria.
I'm hoping for other suggestions in this thread to add to my rotation.
I really like the Veggie Patch spinach chickpea patties. I do them in the toaster oven and dip chunks in sriracha. Sometimes in the summer I use a beefsteak type tomato as the 'bread' for a sandwich and eat with a fork and knife.
I also go through a lot of nori... the small packets of dried seaweed. Salt and crunch minus fat... very low cal.
I used to get Cabot lowfat snack pieces (3/4 oz) but they have vanished in Chicago alas.
I also buy big bags of roasted almonds and portion into snack bags.
re: debbypo
Oh, I've never seen the chickpea patties. Will need to keep an eye out. I rarely spend much time in the frozen section but these sound great. Thanks!
re: IndyGirl
The spinach chickpea patties are in the refrigerated section, in front of the rotisserie chickens/open case meats.
I sometimes eat them as a side dish at breakfast or dinner, as well as a snack item.
re: debbypo
Yes, the spinach-chickpea patties are great. If you are not going low-carb, they are the perfect size to sandwich in a mini-pita! (and it's a great way to sneak in veggies...)
re: truman
Hi truman: I think it is more accurate to say portion control and
minimal carb. The patties will satisfy my wife's constant "where's the veggies?" refrain.
re: debbypo
I also like Veggie Patch spinach chickpea patties but recently learned that my local Costco no longer carries them. Anyone know where I can find them? Thanks!
I could list item like organic whipping cream, yes whipping cream!, Greek yogurt but, it makes no difference. It's all about what you put in vs what you burn off. Costco has great deal on tread mills.
re: Mellicita
No worries Mellicata. I was po'd with Chowhound for moving it from the Ontario board to this one that has a lot of helpful people suggesting products that Costco doesn't sell in Canada and that have might have come through. That is what has happened. So asking for suggestions and then putting the request in front of people who live elsewhere makes no sense.
But as Treb has noticed that is what happened.
I was at Costco this am and did buy a package of Spinach and chick pea patties which they sell on both sides of the border and I'll have one for lunch in about 30 minutes.
I like the Bella Sun Luci Sun-Dried Tomatoes. They come in a resealable bag and are not packed in oil. A half ounce is only 45 calories. The ones packed in oil are higher in calorie.
I also like the chicken and mozzarella raviolis, I don't recall the brand but they always seem to have them, both in my old store in central CA, and where I shop now in CO. 5-6 of them are 230 calories and cook in 3 minutes.
I also like the Pacific Gold Beef Jerky. They sell it in 1.25oz packages and each package is 90 calories, but is very filling for a snacks. Sodium's a bit high as usual w/ jerky though.
Also there's the wide variety of produce but I'm assuming you already know about that :)
My favorite low cal/high flavor Costco item is 505 Green Chiles. They are amazing with anything and everything and a great way to add a huge amount of flavor for about 5 calories.
Not certain if all Costcos carry the product, but they are in the Dallas / Fort Worth area.
Calories are not the problem. Your body needs energy. Added sugar (in dozens of forms, e.g. sugar, corn syrup, etc.) are the real problem. One, the brain doesn't register the calories so your body still needs to eat, and two, the body becomes desensitized to it which brings on metabolic syndrome and diabetes.
To compensate for calories, processed foods add lots of stuff that could be worse.
Instead, look at the ingredients. They're listed in descending order by how much is used, so if you see some "syrup" or whatever ends in "-ose" in the first two or three ingredients, that's what's giving you girth.
From salad dressing to bread, you'll find almost everything has lots of added sugars. That's why even though Americans have cut down on fat and calories, their waist lines continue to bulge, and the diabetes epidemic still gets worse.
re: Gnostradamus
If an item is labeled/made to be 'Low Fat', sugar is added for flavor. If you want lesser carbohydrates, buy full fat products. Diabetics know this.
In answer to the OP's 15 month old question, eat less of anything and it will have fewer calories. Costco products can be there and gone in any given 30 day period, never to be seen again.
re: treb
I completely agree. Even after all the info going around, people still focus on calories. It's important to disregard the "low-fat" "low calories" marketing labels on the products and take time to read the label. For instance, I've found that not all non-fat greek yogurts are equal!
As my nutritionist says: 200 calories of broccoli are must better for you than 200 calories of chocolate!
The ThinAddictives cookies - really, thin sliced biscotto - are 100 calories per packet. Usually that's 3 slices per packet. 20 packets in a box, if memory serves. My Nashua NH store carries only the cranberry almond one at present but last year they had a mango-almond-coconut one that was excellent. Convenient product for brown-bag lunch/snack.
If available, you might try the Trident brand salmon burgers. Eat without bread for a quick meal or at home lunch.
For snacking, you can buy nice Caliornia almonds in large packs. If you are watching carbs, the almonds take the place of sweet snacks.
I also like Kirkland brand tuna very much. We often top a dinner salad with it. From time to time, I've found canned salmon that I often use the same way.

|Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Ventilation Through Nasal Mask on Upper Airway Patency During Induction of Anesthesia
|Brief Summary
Upper airway obstruction (UAO) is common complication during induction of general anesthesia. The mechanism of UAO during anesthesia has not been well understood. Posterior displacement of soft palate are believed to be the primary contributing factors. The mechanism of UAO during anesthesia share many similarities with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Since nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) can maintain the airway patent in patients with OSA, the investigators hypothesize that nCPAP during induction of anesthesia will reduce the incidence and severity of UAO.

I recently purchased a used SUV. I will start by saying that it is always vital to do your research and know your subject matter. Even after researching, I found even more information at the dealership. My salesman Eric, was professional, friendly and knowledgable in every aspect. There was no pressure to make a decision. I was very impressed with the SUV and the entire sales experience. Gloria the finance manager also did a great and efficient job making this the best car sales experience I have been involved in to date. This is substantial as my family and friends have purchased almost 20 cars and or trucks from Eric at Toyota of Wallingford. We will continue to do so in the future. So do your research then go to partner-up with a great sales team for a satisfying purchase experience.

You can I haven't done it on a 2900 but it is normally done by hitting the break key when reseting the router (while your conected via console connection) and typing "confreg" at the promt
I am interested in buying a used Catalyst 2900 Series switch, but the current owner doesnt know the passwords is there a way i can reset them?
You can I haven't done it on a 2900 but it is normally done by hitting the break key when reseting the router (while your conected via console connection) and typing "confreg" at the promt
it depends on the model of the switch, but to be able to reset the passwords you do have to be connected to the switch via console cable.
I had to reset a 2950 switch yday and to get into that you had to hold the mode button while you powered up.
depending on the model there is a way to reset the password for priviledge user mode.
If you are buying second hand, make sure that the console cable is supplied with the switch, unless you can get your hands on one easily
Ohhh yes i've had to do this a few times before. The 2924-EN-XLs i bought off ebay all had passwords still on them.
This isnt a dig btw, but what you will find is that googling for the answer usually works with cisco kit cause their online knowledge base is very good.
That result comes up by googling "password reset cisco 2900"
Thanks, I didn't opt for buying that one i got one were all the factory settings were restored. But i have got a tutorial video here on how to do it here, its to big to upload so if anyone will like it PM me with your E-mail.
PS: Joedetic i got the same switch as you.
Yes you can..and if you have done your CCNA then the answer is also in the books! As others have said in this day and age google is your friend!

An international team of researchers wanted to determine the efficacy of laser and needle acupuncture for chronic knee pain. They conducted a Zelen-design clinical trial (randomization occurred before informed consent), in Victoria, Australia (February 2010-December 2012). Community volunteers (282 patients aged ≥50 years with chronic knee pain) were treated by family physician acupuncturists.
The treatments consisted of A) no acupuncture (control group, n = 71), B) needle (n = 70), C) laser (n = 71), and D) sham laser (n = 70) acupuncture. Treatments were delivered for 12 weeks. Participants and acupuncturists were blinded to laser and sham laser acupuncture. Control participants were unaware of the trial.
Primary outcomes were average knee pain (numeric rating scale, 0 [no pain] to 10 [worst pain possible]; minimal clinically important difference [MCID], 1.8 units) and physical function (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, 0 [no difficulty] to 68 [extreme difficulty]; MCID, 6 units) at 12 weeks. Secondary outcomes included other pain and function measures, quality of life, global change, and 1-year follow-up. Analyses were by intention-to-treat using multiple imputation for missing outcome data.
At 12 weeks and 1 year, 26 (9%) and 50 (18%) participants were lost to follow-up, respectively. Analyses showed neither needle nor laser acupuncture significantly improved pain (mean difference; -0.4 units; 95% CI, -1.2 to 0.4, and -0.1; 95% CI, -0.9 to 0.7, respectively) or function (-1.7; 95% CI, -6.1 to 2.6, and 0.5; 95% CI, -3.4 to 4.4, respectively) compared with sham at 12 weeks. Compared with control, needle and laser acupuncture resulted in modest improvements in pain (-1.1; 95% CI, -1.8 to -0.4, and -0.8; 95% CI, -1.5 to -0.1, respectively) at 12 weeks, but not at 1 year. Needle acupuncture resulted in modest improvement in function compared with control at 12 weeks (-3.9; 95% CI, -7.7 to -0.2) but was not significantly different from sham (-1.7; 95% CI, -6.1 to 2.6) and was not maintained at 1 year. There were no differences for most secondary outcomes and no serious adverse events.
The authors drew the following conclusions: In patients older than 50 years with moderate or severe chronic knee pain, neither laser nor needle acupuncture conferred benefit over sham for pain or function. Our findings do not support acupuncture for these patients.
This is one of the methodologically best acupuncture studies that I have seen so far.
- its protocol has been published when the trial started thus allowing maximum transparency
- it is adequately powered
- it has a very clever study-design
- it minimizes bias in all sorts of ways
- it tests acupuncture for a condition that it is widely used for
- it even manages to blind acupuncturists by using one treatment arm with laser acupuncture
The results show quite clearly that acupuncture does have mild effects on pain and function that entirely rely on a placebo response.
Will acupuncturists learn from this study and henceforward stop treating knee-patients? Somehow I doubt it! The much more likely scenario is that they will claim the trial was, for this or that reason, not valid. Acupuncture, like most of alternative medicine, seems unable to revise its dogma.
If you are pregnant, a 'breech presentation' is not good news. It occurs when the fetus presents 'bottom-down' in the uterus. There are three types:
- Breech with extended legs (frank) – 85% of cases
- Breech with fully flexed legs (complete)
- Footling (incomplete) with one or both thighs extended
The significance of breech presentation is its association with higher perinatal mortality and morbidity when compared to cephalic presentations. This is due both to pre-existing congenital malformation, increased incidence of breech in premature deliveries and increased risk of intrapartum trauma or asphyxia. Caesarean section has been adopted as the 'normal' mode of delivery for term breech presentations in Europe and the USA, as the consensus is that this reduces the risk of birth-related complications.
But Caesarian section is also not a desirable procedure. Something far less invasive would be much more preferable, of course. This is where the TCM-practitioners come in. They claim they have the solution: moxibustion, i.e. the stimulation of acupuncture points by heat. But does it really work? Can it turn the fetus into the correct position?
This new study aimed to assess the efficacy of moxibustion (heating of the acupuncture needle with an igniting charcoal moxa stick) with acupuncture for version of breech presentations to reduce their rate at 37 weeks of gestation and at delivery. It was a randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind trial including 328 pregnant women recruited in a university hospital center between 33 4/7 and 35 4/7 weeks of gestation. Moxibustion with acupuncture or inactivated laser (placebo) treatment was applied to point BL 67 for 6 sessions. The principal endpoint was the percentage of fetuses in breech presentation at 37 2/7 weeks of gestation.
The results show that the percentage of fetuses in breech presentation at 37 2/7 weeks of gestation was not significantly different in both groups (72.0 in the moxibustion with acupuncture group compared with 63.4% in the placebo group).
The authors concluded that treatment by moxibustion with acupuncture was not effective in correcting breech presentation in the third trimester of pregnancy.
You might well ask why on earth anyone expected that stimulating an acupuncture point would turn a fetus in the mother's uterus into the optimal position that carries the least risk during the process of giving birth. This is what proponents of this technique say about this approach:
During a TCM consultation to turn a breech baby the practitioner will take a comprehensive case history, make a diagnosis and apply the appropriate acupuncture treatment. They will assess if moxibustion might be helpful. Practitioners will then instruct women on how to locate the appropriate acupuncture points and demonstrate how to safely apply moxa at home. The acupuncture point UB 67 is the primary point selected for use because it is the most dynamic point to activate the uterus. Its forte is in turning malpositioned babies. It is located on the outer, lower edge of both little toenails. According to TCM theory, moxa has a tonifying and warming effect which promotes movement and activity. The nature of heat is also rising. This warming and raising effect is utilised to encourage the baby to become more active and lift its bottom up in order to gain adequate momentum to summersault into the head down position. This technique can also be used to reposition transverse presentation, a situation where the baby's has its shoulder or back pointing down, or is lying sideways across the abdomen.
Not convinced? I can't say I blame you!
Clearly, we need to know what the totality of the most reliable evidence shows; and what better than a Cochrane review to inform us about it? Here is what it tells us:
Moxibustion was not found to reduce the number of non-cephalic presentations at birth compared with no treatment (P = 0.45). Moxibustion resulted in decreased use of oxytocin before or during labour for women who had vaginal deliveries compared with no treatment (risk ratio (RR) 0.28, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.13 to 0.60). Moxibustion was found to result in fewer non-cephalic presentations at birth compared with acupuncture (RR 0.25, 95% CI 0.09 to 0.72). When combined with acupuncture, moxibustion resulted in fewer non-cephalic presentations at birth (RR 0.73, 95% CI 0.57 to 0.94), and fewer births by caesarean section (RR 0.79, 95% CI 0.64 to 0.98) compared with no treatment. When combined with a postural technique, moxibustion was found to result in fewer non-cephalic presentations at birth compared with the postural technique alone (RR 0.26, 95% CI 0.12 to 0.56).
In other words, there is indeed some encouraging albeit not convincing evidence! How can this be? There is no plausible explanation why this treatment should work!
But there is a highly plausible explanation why the results of many of the relevant trials are false-positive thus rendering a meta-analysis false-positive as well. I have repeatedly pointed out on this blog that practically all Chinese TCM-studies report (false) positive results; and many of the studies included in this review were done in China. The Cochrane review provides a strong hint about the lack of rigor in its 'plain language summary':
The included trials were of moderate methodological quality, sample sizes in some of the studies were small, how the treatment was applied differed and reporting was limited. While the results were combined they should be interpreted with caution due to the differences in the included studies. More evidence is needed concerning the benefits and safety of moxibustion.
So, would I recommend moxibustion for breech conversion? I don't think so!
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is often promoted as an effective therapy for cancer, and are numerous controlled clinical studies published in Chinese literature, yet no systematic analysis has been done of this body of evidence. This systematic review summarizes the evidence from controlled clinical studies published in Chinese on this subject.
The researchers looked for controlled clinical studies of TCM therapies for all kinds of cancers published in Chinese in four main Chinese electronic databases and found 2964 reports including 2385 randomized clinical trials and 579 non-randomized controlled studies.
The top seven cancer types treated were lung cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, esophagus cancer, colorectal cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer. The majority of studies (72%) applied TCM therapy combined with conventional treatments, whilst fewer (28%) applied only TCM therapy in the experimental groups. Herbal medicine was the most frequently tested TCM therapy (2677 studies, 90.32%).
The most frequently reported outcome was clinical symptom improvement (1667 studies, 56.24%) followed by biomarker indices (1270 studies, 42.85%), quality of life (1129 studies, 38.09%), chemo/radiotherapy induced side effects (1094 studies, 36.91%), tumor size (869 studies, 29.32%) and safety (547 studies, 18.45%). Completeness and adequacy of reporting appeared to improve with time.
The authors of this paper drew the following conclusion: data from controlled clinical studies of TCM therapies in cancer treatment is substantial, and different therapies are applied either as monotherapy or in combination with conventional medicine. Reporting of controlled clinical studies should be improved based on the CONSORT and TREND Statements in future. Further studies should address the most frequently used TCM therapy for common cancers and outcome measures should address survival, relapse/metastasis and quality of life.
Almost 3000 controlled clinical trials! This number is likely to impress many people – unless, of course, one knows that the quality of these studies is dismal. Interestingly, no formal assessment of study quality was included in this analysis. But it was mentioned that only 63 of these trials reported patient-blinding, and only 5 were deemed to be "relatively well designed" by the authors of this paper (who, incidentally, are strong proponents of TCM).
What I find the most interesting aspect of this article is the fact that the authors fail to mention how many of the studies reported a positive result – in a way, they don't need to: there is plenty of evidence to show that virtually all of the Chinese studies of TCM are positive. In my view, this invalidates this body of evidence completely.
Analysis like the present one tend to lead us up the garden path. They suggest that there is a realistic hope for effective new treatments hidden in this difficult to access, large amount of data. This might lead other researchers to try to replicate some of the original studies. I fear that they would be wasting their time. From all I know, they are irreproducible.
Tai Chi has been suggested to have many health benefits. Might it even prolong life? There are many enthusiasts who claim just that, but is there any evidence?
This study is a retrospective cross-sectional investigation to compare the rejuvenating and anti-ageing effects among a Tai Chi group (TCC) and a brisk walking group (BW) and a no exercise habit group (NEH) of volunteers. Thirty-two participants were separated into three groups: the TCC group (practicing TC for more than 1 year), the BW group (practicing BW for more than 1 year), and the NEH group. The CD34+ cell counts in peripheral blood of the participants was determined, and the Kruskal‐Wallis test was used to evaluate and compare the antiaging effects of the three groups. The results show that the participants in the TCC group (N = 10) outperformed the NEH group (N = 12) with respect to the number of CD34+ progenitor cells. No significant difference was found between the TCC group and the BW group. The authors of this study conclude that TCC practice sustained for more than 1 year may be an intervention against aging as effective as BW in terms of its benefits on the improvement of CD34+ number.
I was alerted to this new paper by several rather sensational headlines in the daily press which stated that Tai chi (TC) had anti-aging effects. So I searched for the press release about the article where I found the following quotes:
"It is possible that Tai Chi may prompt vasodilation and increase blood flow," said Lin. "Considering that BW may require a larger space or more equipment, Tai Chi seems to be an easier and more convenient choice of anti-aging exercise." "This study provides the first step into providing scientific evidence for the possible health benefits of Tai Chi." said Dr. Paul R. Sanberg, distinguished professor at the Center of Excellence for Aging and Brain Repair, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL. "Further study of how Tai Chi can elicit benefit in different populations and on different parameters of aging are necessary to determine its full impact."
Personally, I find both the press release and the original conclusions of the authors quite amazing. If anyone wanted to write a textbook on how not to do such things, he/she could use them as excellent examples.
Seen with just a tinge of critical thinking the paper reports a flimsy case-control study comparing three obviously self-selected groups of people who had chosen to follow different exercise regimen for several months. In all likelihood they also differed in terms of life-style, nutrition, sleeping pattern, alcohol intake, smoking habits and a million other things. These rather tiny groups were then compared according to a surrogate measure for ageing and some differences were identified.
To conclude from this, or even to imply, that TC has anti-ageing effects is as far-fetched as claiming the tooth fairy has money problems.
This story could be just funny or trivial or boring – however, I think, it is also a bit worrying. It shows, I fear, how uncritical researchers in conjunction with some naïve press officer are able to induce silly journalists and headline-writers to mislead the public.
An article in the 'Huffpost Healthy Living' recently discussed "the top three things that surprise people about acupuncture". On closer inspection, they turn out to be the top three untruths about acupuncture. Here is (in italics and slightly abbreviated) what the article said.
Acupuncture is not just for pain
…It's true that acupuncture can work wonders on pain conditions…However, acupuncture can alleviate a wide variety of ailments that have nothing to do with physical pain. Whether you have digestive issues, gynecological conditions, emotional concerns such as anxiety and depression, asthma, seasonal allergies, you name it, acupuncture can help address your symptoms.
Acupuncturists go to school for a long time
People tend to be unaware of the extent to which acupuncturists train to become licensed in their profession. Many assume becoming an acupuncturist is similar to becoming a massage therapist or Reiki practitioner or yoga instructor… At minimum, a licensed acupuncturist in the United States has been to three years of graduate school. Four years is more common. They hold master's degrees. Some acupuncturists with doctorates have studied at the graduate level for five-plus years. Upon graduating from an accredited school, all acupuncturists must pass multiple board exams to become licensed in their state. In addition to the academic and state requirements for practicing acupuncture, many acupuncturists seek hands-on training and mentorship in the form of apprenticeships and continuing education seminars.
Acupuncture is relaxing
Acupuncture needles are surprisingly thin. They do not bear any resemblance to needles that are used for injections or to draw blood… In most cases, the insertion of acupuncture needles does not hurt…Once the needles are in, they start working their magic, which is where the relaxation part comes in. Acupuncture helps shift your body out of sympathetic mode (fight or flight) and into parasympathetic mode (rest and digest). It mellows out the nervous system, decreases muscular tension, and helps quiet internal chatter…
1) There is not a single condition for which the evidence is truly compelling demonstrating that acupuncture is more than a placebo. Certainly there is no good evidence that acupuncture works for digestive issues, gynecological conditions, emotional concerns such as anxiety and depression, asthma or seasonal allergies.
2) In most countries, anyone can call themselves an acupuncturist, regardless of background or training.
3) The relaxing element of an acupuncture session is foremost the fact that patients lie down and have to keep still for 20 minutes or so. The insertion of needles does cause mild pain in many patients, and the claim about parasympathetic mode is mostly phantasy.
I despair about the nonsense that is published about alternative medicine on a daily basis – not because I have an axe to grind, but because it misleads patients into making wrong therapeutic decisions.
A recent meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy of acupuncture for treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and arrived at bizarrely positive conclusions.
The authors state that they searched 4 electronic databases for double-blind, placebo-controlled trials investigating the efficacy of acupuncture in the management of IBS. Studies were screened for inclusion based on randomization, controls, and measurable outcomes reported.
Six RCTs were included in the meta-analysis, and 5 articles were of high quality. The pooled relative risk for clinical improvement with acupuncture was 1.75 (95%CI: 1.24-2.46, P = 0.001). Using two different statistical approaches, the authors confirmed the efficacy of acupuncture for treating IBS and concluded that acupuncture exhibits clinically and statistically significant control of IBS symptoms.
As IBS is a common and often difficult to treat condition, this would be great news! But is it true? We do not need to look far to find the embarrassing mistakes and – dare I say it? – lies on which this result was constructed.
The largest RCT included in this meta-analysis was neither placebo-controlled nor double blind; it was a pragmatic trial with the infamous 'A+B versus B' design. Here is the key part of its methods section: 116 patients were offered 10 weekly individualised acupuncture sessions plus usual care, 117 patients continued with usual care alone. Intriguingly, this was the ONLY one of the 6 RCTs with a significantly positive result!
The second largest study (as well as all the other trials) showed that acupuncture was no better than sham treatments. Here is the key quote from this trial: there was no statistically significant difference between acupuncture and sham acupuncture.
So, let me re-write the conclusions of this meta-analysis without spin, lies or hype: These results of this meta-analysis seem to indicate that:
- currently there are several RCTs testing whether acupuncture is an effective therapy for IBS,
- all the RCTs that adequately control for placebo-effects show no effectiveness of acupuncture,
- the only RCT that yields a positive result does not make any attempt to control for placebo-effects,
- this suggests that acupuncture is a placebo,
- it also demonstrates how misleading studies with the infamous 'A+B versus B' design can be,
- finally, this meta-analysis seems to be a prime example of scientific misconduct with the aim of creating a positive result out of data which are, in fact, negative.
The news that the use of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) positively affects cancer survival might come as a surprise to many readers of this blog; but this is exactly what recent research has suggested. As it was published in one of the leading cancer journals, we should be able to trust the findings – or shouldn't we?
The authors of this new study used the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database to conduct a retrospective population-based cohort study of patients with advanced breast cancer between 2001 and 2010. The patients were separated into TCM users and non-users, and the association between the use of TCM and patient survival was determined.
A total of 729 patients with advanced breast cancer receiving taxanes were included. Their mean age was 52.0 years; 115 patients were TCM users (15.8%) and 614 patients were TCM non-users. The mean follow-up was 2.8 years, with 277 deaths reported to occur during the 10-year period. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that, compared with non-users, the use of TCM was associated with a significantly decreased risk of all-cause mortality (adjusted hazards ratio [HR], 0.55 [95% confidence interval, 0.33-0.90] for TCM use of 30-180 days; adjusted HR, 0.46 [95% confidence interval, 0.27-0.78] for TCM use of > 180 days). Among the frequently used TCMs, those found to be most effective (lowest HRs) in reducing mortality were Bai Hua She She Cao, Ban Zhi Lian, and Huang Qi.
The authors of this paper are initially quite cautious and use adequate terminology when they write that TCM-use was associated with increased survival. But then they seem to get carried away by their enthusiasm and even name the TCM drugs which they thought were most effective in prolonging cancer survival. It is obvious that such causal extrapolations are well out of line with the evidence they produced (oh, how I wished that journal editors would finally wake up to such misleading language!) .
Of course, it is possible that some TCM drugs are effective cancer cures – but the data presented here certainly do NOT demonstrate anything like such an effect. And before such a far-reaching claim is being made, much more and much better research would be necessary.
The thing is, there are many alternative and plausible explanations for the observed phenomenon. For instance, it is conceivable that users and non-users of TCM in this study differed in many ways other than their medication, e.g. severity of cancer, adherence to conventional therapies, life-style, etc. And even if the researchers have used clever statistical methods to control for some of these variables, residual confounding can never be ruled out in such case-control studies.
Correlation is not causation, they say. Neglect of this elementary axiom makes for very poor science – in fact, it produces dangerous pseudoscience which could, like in the present case, lead a cancer patient straight up the garden path towards a premature death.
Advocates of alternative medicine are incredibly fond of supporting their claims with anecdotes, or 'case-reports' as they are officially called. There is no question, case-reports can be informative and important, but we need to be aware of their limitations.
A recent case-report from the US might illustrated this nicely. It described a 65-year-old male patient who had had MS for 20 years when he decided to get treated with Chinese scalp acupuncture. The motor area, sensory area, foot motor and sensory area, balance area, hearing and dizziness area, and tremor area were stimulated once a week for 10 weeks, then once a month for 6 further sessions.
After the 16 treatments, the patient showed remarkable improvements. He was able to stand and walk without any problems. The numbness and tingling in his limbs did not bother him anymore. He had more energy and had not experienced incontinence of urine or dizziness after the first treatment. He was able to return to work full time. Now the patient has been in remission for 26 months.
The authors of this case-report conclude that Chinese scalp acupuncture can be a very effective treatment for patients with MS. Chinese scalp acupuncture holds the potential to expand treatment options for MS in both conventional and complementary or integrative therapies. It can not only relieve symptoms, increase the patient's quality of life, and slow and reverse the progression of physical disability but also reduce the number of relapses and help patients.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with case-reports; on the contrary, they can provide extremely valuable pointers for further research. If they relate to adverse effects, they can give us crucial information about the risks associated with treatments. Nobody would ever argue that case-reports are useless, and that is why most medical journals regularly publish such papers. But they are valuable only, if one is aware of their limitations. Medicine finally started to make swift progress, ~150 years ago, when we gave up attributing undue importance to anecdotes, began to doubt established wisdom and started testing it scientifically.
Conclusions such as the ones drawn above are not just odd, they are misleading to the point of being dangerous. A reasonable conclusion might have been that this case of a MS-patient is interesting and should be followed-up through further observations. If these then seem to confirm the positive outcome, one might consider conducting a clinical trial. If this study proves to yield encouraging findings, one might eventually draw the conclusions which the present authors drew from their single case.
To jump at conclusions in the way the authors did, is neither justified nor responsible. It is unjustified because case-reports never lend themselves to such generalisations. And it is irresponsible because desperate patients, who often fail to understand the limitations of case-reports and tend to believe things that have been published in medical journals, might act on these words. This, in turn, would raise false hopes or might even lead to patients forfeiting those treatments that are evidence-based.
It is high time, I think, that proponents of alternative medicine give up their love-affair with anecdotes and join the rest of the health care professions in the 21st century.
There are numerous types and styles of acupuncture, and the discussion whether one is better than the other has been long, tedious and frustrating. Traditional acupuncturists, for instance, individualise their approach according to their findings of pulse and tongue diagnoses as well as other non-validated diagnostic criteria. Western acupuncturists, by contrast, tend to use formula or standardised treatments according to conventional diagnoses.
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of standardized and individualized acupuncture treatment in patients with chronic low back pain. A single-center randomized controlled single-blind trial was performed in a general medical practice of a Chinese-born medical doctor trained in both western and Chinese medicine. One hundred and fifty outpatients with chronic low back pain were randomly allocated to two groups who received either standardized acupuncture or individualized acupuncture. 10 to 15 treatments based on individual symptoms were given with two treatments per week.
The main outcome measure was the area under the curve (AUC) summarizing eight weeks of daily rated pain severity measured with a visual analogue scale. No significant differences between groups were observed for the AUC (individualized acupuncture mean: 1768.7; standardized acupuncture 1482.9; group difference, 285.8).
The authors concluded that individualized acupuncture was not superior to standardized acupuncture for patients suffering from chronic pain.
But perhaps it matters whether the acupuncturist is thoroughly trained or has just picked up his/her skills during a weekend course? I am afraid not: this analysis of a total of 4,084 patients with chronic headache, lower back pain or arthritic pain treated by 1,838 acupuncturists suggested otherwise. There were no differences in success for patients treated by physicians passing through shorter (A diploma) or longer (B diploma) training courses in acupuncture.
But these are just one single trial and one post-hoc analysis of another study which, by definition, cannot be fully definitive. Fortunately, we have more evidence based on much larger numbers. This brand-new meta-analysis aimed to evaluate whether there are characteristics of acupuncture or acupuncturists that are associated with better or worse outcomes.
An existing dataset, developed by the Acupuncture Trialists' Collaboration, included 29 trials of acupuncture for chronic pain with individual data involving 17,922 patients. The available data on characteristics of acupuncture included style of acupuncture, point prescription, location of needles, use of electrical stimulation and moxibustion, number, frequency and duration of sessions, number of needles used and acupuncturist experience. Random-effects meta-regression was used to test the effect of each characteristic on the main effect estimate of pain. Where sufficient patient-level data were available, patient-level analyses were conducted.
When comparing acupuncture to sham controls, there was little evidence that the effects of acupuncture on pain were modified by any of the acupuncture characteristics evaluated, including style of acupuncture, the number or placement of needles, the number, frequency or duration of sessions, patient-practitioner interactions and the experience of the acupuncturist. When comparing acupuncture to non-acupuncture controls, there was little evidence that these characteristics modified the effect of acupuncture, except better pain outcomes were observed when more needles were used and, from patient level analysis involving a sub-set of 5 trials, when a higher number of acupuncture treatment sessions were provided.
The authors of this meta-analysis concluded that there was little evidence that different characteristics of acupuncture or acupuncturists modified the effect of treatment on pain outcomes. Increased number of needles and more sessions appear to be associated with better outcomes when comparing acupuncture to non-acupuncture controls, suggesting that dose is important. Potential confounders include differences in control group and sample size between trials. Trials to evaluate potentially small differences in outcome associated with different acupuncture characteristics are likely to require large sample sizes.
My reading of these collective findings is that it does not matter which type of acupuncture you use nor who uses it; the clinical effects are similar regardless of the most obvious potential determinants. Hardly surprising! In fact, one would expect such results, if one considered that acupuncture is a placebo-treatment.
For those who know about the subject, this is an old hat, of course. But for many readers of this blog, it might be news: 'Traditional' Chinese Medicine (TCM) is not nearly as traditional as it pretends to be. In fact, it is an artefact of recent creation. The man who has been saying that for years is Professor Paul Unschuld, one of the leading sinologist worldwide and an expert who has written many books and journal articles on the subject.
During an interview given in 2004, he defined TCM as "an artificial system of health care ideas and practices generated between 1950 and 1973 by committees in the People's Republic of China, with the aim of restructuring the vast and heterogenous heritage of Chinese traditional medicine in such a way that it fitted the principles–Marxist Maoist type democracy and modern science and technology on which the future of the PRC was to be built…[the Daoist underpinning for TCM] is incorrect for two reasons. First . . . TCM is a product of Communist China. Second, even if we were to apply the term TCM to pre-revolutionary Chinese medicine, the Daoist impact should be considered minimal."
In a much more recent interview entitled INVENTION FROM THE FAR EAST which he gave to DER SPIEGEL (in German), he explained this in a little more detail (I have tried to translate his words as literally as possible):
What is being offered in our country to patients as TCM is a construct that was created in China on an office desk which has been altered further on its way to the West.
Already at the beginning of the 20th century, reformers and revolutionaries urged that the traditional medicine in China should be abolished and that the western form of medicine should be introduced instead. Traditional thinking was seen as backwards and it was held responsible for the oppressing superiority of the West. The introduction of Western natural sciences, medicine and technology was also thought later, after the foundation of the People's Republic, to be essential for rendering the country competitive again. Since the traditional Chinese medicine could not be totally abolished then because it offered a living to many citizens, it was reduced to a kernel, which could be brought just about in line with the scientific orientation of the future communist society. In the 1950s and 60s, an especially appointed commission had been working on this task. The filtrate which they created from the original medical tradition was hence forward to be called TCM vis a vis foreigners.
There is little more to add, I think – perhaps just two brief after-thoughts. TCM is a most lucrative export article for China. So don't expect Chinese officials to rid TCM of the highly marketable 'TRADITIONAL' label. And remember: the 'appeal to tradition' argument is a fallacy anyway.

FORT MYERS, Fla-- Many southwest Floridians are joining others across the country, making that New Year's resolution to join a gym.
A trainer with Gold's Gym in Fort Myers tells WINK News that memberships always increase with the beginning of the new year. He says many people are making the resolution to get and stay fit.
"Since it's the first of the year, there is a lot more people here than there has usually been in late December. After the holidays, people are eating a lot, tend to binge. It's a good idea to start the first of the year, into a good fitness program," said trainer Ray O'Kelly.
He says if you just joined a gym, it's advised you start out slow with some cardio for a few weeks. Then, you can start with some weights.

M-Audio MobilePre - "Very good deal, comes with Pro Tools SE" - sw80
The best part of this interface is that it comes with Pro Tools SE, this version of Pro Tools comes stocked with a lot of VST instruments and can work on your PC and your MAC computers.

I should think anybody can insure any car,the name on a V5 isnt neccesseraly the legal owner of the car.
Hi alana75
No. But somewhere on the proposal form they will ask who is the owner (log book) and keeper (main user) of the car.
I am the registered owner of Mrs B's car but she always insures it in her name without any problems. I have never come across any problems with insuring a car where the person on the policy is not on the log book, but maybe that is because both surnames are the same.
If you are in any doubt then best to run it past the insurance company before paying the premium. Better to be turned down and have to go somewhere else for insurance, than have an accident in someone else's car and find out the insures will refuse to pay out on a technicality.
It's not a problem as far as I'm aware as long as its the main driver that's insured, and you're not 'fronting' another driver

Haiti's Michael Brun Talks EDM Stardom and Label
By Jacob Katel
Michael Robbins, Justin Levine, and Perry Sasson (still the smoothest name in nightlife) of Empire Events -- or, as other nightlifers know them, the J Crew -- have been hosting a Sno party at Pearl, the elegant restaurant/lounge atop Nikki Beach, on Saturday nights. The plush surroundings make a perfect background for the blizzards of young, beautiful people who've made Sno their favorite frosty bash. It's also a celebrity haven that attracts the likes of Jermaine Dupri, P. Diddy, and Fat Joe. The best thing about Empire Events, though, is the trio's stripped-down approach. They don't bother dressing pretty (something they picked up from their Monday-night partner at B.E.D., Carlos Perez): A nice T-shirt, clean jeans, and a hat with their emblem on it is good enough. And why not? It's their party.
Though some of Sno's crowd can seem cold (my last winter pun, I swear), there's one resident clique who're anything but frigid (I lied). They are "the VIPs," a contingent of attractive, professional women who put the "tit" in titillating conversation. That's because they're intelligent, thoughtful, and well-endowed (only one has a cup size smaller than C, but she's the most adorable blonde). Though these party girls are very Sex and the City, they also happen to be (almost) proper ladies, a rarity for clubland gals. By day the VIPs are account executives in the marketing industry (they sound like The Bachelorette candidates), but at night they paint the town red (with makeup bought at Sephora, of course) and prance in Jimmy Choos.
I'd like to take this opportunity to print my true feelings about one VIP in particular. She has a funny name and a serious body with the best set of legs I've ever laid eyes on. She's Yaidi, and there are at least 100 hearts she's broken, including mine. How? She told me, "I think of you as a little brother." Can anybody hear my heavy tears splashing on the floor?

Photograph - 'On Board Ship', SS Bendigo, 1924 Reg. No: MM 92056
- Summary:
- Black and white photograph of Gladys Leichti, seated on a deckchair on board the SS Bendigo in 1924. The image was taken during her voyage as an assisted immigrant from England to Australia.
- Description:
- Black and white image with black border.
- Statement Of Significance:
- Gladys Leichti's objects and story represents the push to attract young British girls for domestic service in the 1920s and the role of philanthropic organizations such as the Salvation Army in meeting this demand. The story is also interesting for its cross-cultural marriage and the bringing together of two very different migrant stories from different periods in time.
Johannes Stegelman's story is a great example of more unorthodox migration. Jumping ship was a common way to start a new life in Australia, especially for sailors on merchant ships, and dates back to the 1850s gold rush with sailors jumping ship to head for the goldfields (John Simpson Kirkpatrick of 'Simpson and his donkey' fame arrived in Australia by jumping ship). Stegelman's objects all relate to his career in both the German Navy and the merchant navy including the hire document that brought him to Australia.
- Description Of Content:
- Gladys Leichti seated on a deckchair on board the 'SS Bendigo'. There is a port in the background. She wears a jumper and long skirt.

SOS hospital administrator hears the call of wildlife
Date: August 7, 2013
by: Robin Hartill | City Editor
Three years ago, Sarah Olivero responded to an ad seeking someone to work on the grounds of Save Our Seabirds (SOS) but quickly found her calling in the bird-rescue facility's hospital.
"I just fell in love with wildlife," she said.
After nearly three years of working as an avian hospital technician at SOS, Olivero recently received her Class III Wildlife Rehabilitation Permit from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and was promoted to the position of SOS avian hospital administrator. The position had been vacant since April, when SOS founder Lee Fox and the organization's board severed their relationship.
"We are very pleased to promote Sarah to this new position," said David Pilston, CEO of SOS, in a prepared statement. "She is an extremely talented and caring technician with broad and deep experience in rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing sick and injured birds. She is a natural leader and a strong team player who values the importance of cooperation, collaboration and communication with other local wildlife organizations and veterinarians."
Olivero's responsibilities include supervising hospital staff and medical treatment of birds and collaborating with veterinarians for treatment.
A typical day for her begins around 7:30 a.m., in the hospital's critical-care ward, where she and technicians give patients hydration and medication, change bandages and prepare their food. Then, the team moves on to the sanctuary.
There's therapy for the birds that are still healing, along with as many as five rescues during a single week.
Some of the best moments for Olivero come when a bird has healed and is ready to be released. Recently, for example, an osprey was found floating in the water. He was lethargic but perked up after treatment and eagerly flew back into the wild upon release.
Olivero is eager to see SOS continue to expand and continue its renovations and development of educational programs.
"We want to keep the public involved," she said.

Network of mutuality
We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.
We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.
O for a world where everyone respects each other's ways, where love is lived and all is done with justice and with praise. O for a world where goods are shared and misery relieved, where truth is spoken, children spared, equality achieved.
We're coming up on a holiday celebration in the US honoring the independence of this country in 1776 from Great Britain. The holiday, the fourth of July, tends to be celebrated these days with backyard picnics and local gatherings of fireworks and in some cases military type fire arms ceremonies and fighter jet fly overs. Here are the lyrics to a song many know well … at least the first couple of verses. But read further and you'll see the message of a "commonwealth" (a common good) that remains unachieved and continues to be a worthy goal for the citizens of the United States. May this song inspire you to consider afresh the ideal of freedom. …
Genuine politics — even politics worthy of the name — is simply a matter of serving those around us: serving the community and serving those who will come after us. …
"If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in." ― Rachel Carson
