Employee productivity
Employees work themselves to a standstill
Wed, 14 Mar 2012 12:21
The recently released World Competitiveness Yearbook 2011, published by Switzerland's Institute of Management Development has ranked South African productivity at a miserable 52 of 59 countries rated. As if that was not bad enough, South African competitiveness has fallen eight places to 52.
And bosses are responding by beating a dying horse, Karin Wellman of The People Element, a national human resources training group said. "A year ago we noted a shift in corporate culture from a strongly people-oriented, values-based "home away from home" environment in many companies to one in which words such as "mediocre" and "underperformance" are common. We're seeing a dramatic increase in disciplinary hearings based purely on underperformance. In the past, this would have been the content of performance reviews, coaching discussions, etc. Now it's a case of you don't perform, you're out. Targets are increasing, sometimes to ridiculous heights – burnout and stress-related illnesses are common.
"Senior management is being whipped by EXCO, which is being whipped by the Board, and so pressure gets greater the lower down the corporate ladder it moves. The people who feel it the most are those at the coalface of income generation: the call centre agents, the sales consultants, the account managers, etc." This matches findings from the United States where Professor Juliet Schor, a senior lecturer in economics at Harvard noted that employees: "Are literally working themselves to death—as jobs contribute to heart disease, hypertension, gastric problems, depression, exhaustion, and a variety of other ailments. Surprisingly, the high-powered jobs are not the most dangerous. The most stressful workplaces are the "electronic sweatshops" and assembly lines where a demanding pace is coupled with virtually no individual discretion."
Not only are staff working harder than ever before and longer hours (The America Foundation estimates the average employee works at least 500 hours a year more than in the 1990's): they're earning less. Statistics tell us that half of South Africans live below the poverty line eking out subsistence on just R500 a month. South Africa's GINI Co-efficient – a measure of income equality in a country with 0 representing an equal society – is 65; the United States, which is seeing protests because of growing inequality, was 45 in 2007. The situation in both countries is believed to be worse now, as the economic crisis has cut deep swathes into economies.
Almost one in six Americans now lives in poverty, according to the latest U.S. Census Bureau report. And in October, the Congressional Budget Committee revealed that since 1979, the richest one percent had seen incomes rise 275%, while the middle class was 40% more comfortable and the lowest fifth of the nation had seen incomes rise only 18% - essentially, they got poorer.
Wellman and her partner, Vicky Eriksson, will host a People Effectiveness conference in Midrand on May 8 to give their findings into a yearlong "Employee Satisfaction Survey." They say that business confidence is often measured as a key barometer to economic progress, "but the most important component of business success – how happy the employees are, because that is also a barometer of productivity, is usually ignored. We say it has to be measured for companies to get themselves out of the economic crisis."
Eriksson said, "Last year we realised that people's reasoning behind attending The People's Element workplace training programmes had changed pretty significantly. At the start of any programme we always ask the question, "Why are you here?" The standard answers have always been "because I have to" or "because my manager told me to".
"Last year, those answers changed. They became "because I can't talk to my manager", "because I want this on my CV", "because I'm terrified of conflict", "because I need help dealing with stress" etc. In our conversations with managers and staff it became clear that stress levels are the highest we can remember. Trust and pride in organisations is very low. Management styles have become harder because they are under such pressure. But happy staff always perform better."
For now productivity and competitiveness seem doomed to continue sliding as bosses adopt a big stick approach.

Coating Materials
Today, protective coating durability is measured in years—decades, if you're lucky.
So how come some thin-film metal coating technology developed 2,000 years ago is still holding up?
The ancient gilders' secrets are the focus of new study by a group of Italian researchers.
Preserving Treasures
Using analytical techniques, the scientists set out to discover how gilders in the Dark Ages and other periods applied such lustrous, impressively uniform films of gold or silver to intricate objects, according to a release by the American Chemistry Society.
How artisans centuries ago achieved sophisticated gilding, such as on the St. Ambrogio golden altar from 825 AD, is now coming to light, according to new research.
The scientists say understanding the sophisticated ancient metal-plating techniques could help artisans preserve artistic and other treasures from the past.
"Ancient Mercury-Based Plating Methods: Combined Use of Surface Analytical Techniques for the Study of Manufacturing Process and Degradation Phenomena," in the journal Accounts of Chemical Research, details their findings.
Mercury as Glue
According to the research, goldsmiths and silversmiths developed a variety of methods to create their masterpieces, including using mercury as an adhesive to apply thin films of metals to statues and other objects.
Without modern understanding of physical-chemical processes, ancient gilders produced coating technology that has not been seen since then, researchers found.
Sometimes, the technology was used to apply real gold and silver. It was also used fraudulently, to make cheap metal statues look like solid gold or silver, the scientists report.
Craftsman Competence
Modern thin-film coating technology used on solar cells, electronic devices and other products has not yet touched the level of competence reached by the artists and craftsmen of the ancient periods, the scientists note.
"The high level of competence … could not be bettered in ancient times and has not yet been reached in modern ones," according to a statement on the findings.
The research was led by Gabriel Maria Ingo, senior scientist at the Institute for the Study of Nanostructured Materials of the National Research Council in Italy.

The Shadow Clone Technique is a technique developed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.[2]
Overview Edit
Similar to the basic Clone Technique, this technique creates copies of the user. However, these clones are corporeal instead of illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after hit by a strong enough force. The clones can also disperse on their own or be dispelled by the user of the technique. Shadow clones can't be distinguished from the original with Sharingan, Byakugan or Rinnegan.[3][4][5] However, Madara Uchiha later demonstrated the ability to detect shadow clones, something that is probably only unique to himself.[6] Shadow clones also seem to be able to think for themselves and feel the original's pain to some extent, as evidenced by Naruto's clones feeling pain when the Nine-Tails' cloak awakened while he and Kakashi were fighting Deidara.[7]
Usage Edit
Because of the manner in which the clones are created, the user must divide their chakra among the clones, potentially using up all their chakra fairly quickly if the user is low on chakra, or makes too many clones. This is especially problematic when the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is used; whereas the normal version will only create a few clones, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique can create hundreds.
A characteristic that is unique to the Shadow Clone Technique is that any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning, to pass the information back to the user.[8] Similarly, because they are clones of the original, any chakra that the clone possesses will return to the original after being dispelled.[9] Conversely, the reverse is also true and the original is still able to manipulate the chakra of the clones.[10]
It's also useful for training purposes, since the total amount of experience the user gains is multiplied by the total number of clones being used to train. For example, if a user creates one shadow clone and trains together with this clone for one hour, then dispels the clone, the user gains two hours of training in one hour by adding the hours of clone and the user together. This particular feature is not revealed until Part II by Kakashi Hatake.[11] When done with several hundred, like Naruto does, training that could take weeks or months can be completed in a few hours.[12] While the technique can be extremely beneficial, attempting to use multiple clones for training purposes can be mentally harmful to the user, as not only is all the experience collected by the user, but so is all the mental stress from training each clone.[13] Kakashi stated that Naruto is the only person able to can do this type of training, due to the amount of chakra that Naruto has.[14]
Trivia Edit
- Due to Naruto Uzumaki's extensive usage of this technique, Sasuke Uchiha sees it as a symbolic way for Naruto to avoid loneliness.[15]
- In Naruto episode 129, Sasuke Uchiha claims that the Sharingan can distinguish clones from the original. This contradicts the manga and other anime episodes.[16]
- An ostrich named Condor appears in the anime using this technique, but in reality it was just other ostriches.[17]

Zetsche is the chairman of Mercedes' carmaker parent Daimler, and he is apparently uncomfortable with Red Bull becoming this season's constructors' champion, French commentator Jean-Louis Moncet wrote in his Auto Plus column. The German, uncomfortable that this year's manufacturers' title has been won by the maker of an energy drink, reportedly wants the FIA to change the official title of the "World Constructors' Championship". Moncet wrote: "I seem to remember that among the reasons that drove BMW to leave F1 was that defeats by Mercedes, Toyota or Renault are one thing — but Red Bull!" Tweet

Racial/Ethnic Disparities in the Identification of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
American Journal of Public Health, Mandell, Wiggins, et al
Year Published:
Fifty-eight percent of children had a documented autism spectrum disorder. In adjusted analyses, children who were Black (odds ratio [OR] = 0.79; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.64, 0.96), Hispanic (OR = 0.76; CI = 0.56, 0.99), or of other race/ethnicity (OR = 0.65; CI = 0.43, 0.97) were less likely than were White children to have a documented ASD. This disparity persisted for Black children, regardless of IQ, and was concentrated for children of other ethnicities when IQ was lower than 70.
Significant racial/ethnic disparities exist in the recognition of ASD. For some children in some racial/ethnic groups, the presence of intellectual disability may affect professionals' further assessment of developmental delay. Our findings suggest the need for continued professional education related to the heterogeneity of the presentation of ASD.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., June 12, 2013 — The issue committee Citizens for a Safer Colorado today filed an initiative to amend the Colorado constitution to repeal the gun control laws passed by the legislature in March, and to prevent the legislature from ever passing such laws again. The initiative, if approved, would in future refer such measures to a vote of the people.
Colorado's constitution, like the U.S. Constitution, already contains a strong statement of right:
SEE RELATED: Independence Institute files suit against magazine ban
"The right of no person to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person and property, or in aid of the civil power when thereto legally summoned, shall be called in question; but nothing herein contained shall be construed to justify the practice of carrying concealed weapons." (Art II, Sec 13)
Because the Colorado constitution already protects the right to bear arms, many feel that the legislature's actions, influenced by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Mayors Against Illegal Guns and orchestrated by Senate President John Morse, are unconstitutional. A majority of the state sheriffs and a number of other organizations have joined together with the Independence Institute to sue the state in federal court to repeal the most egregious infringements.
The new initiative seeks to repeal them all.
Committee chairman Mike Holler says, "The Colorado legislature overstepped its bounds to do the bidding of the Obama administration and the big city mayors from the east coast to impose laws that are actually dangerous and do nothing to reduce crime. They lost the common-sense perspective that Coloradoans have always had. We are reminding them that in Colorado, the final authorities are the citizens."
SEE RELATED: The Colorado model of gun control
The provisional title of the proposed amendment is to "Clarify, Protect, and Strengthen the Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms in Self Defense."
The goal of the amendment is to make even clearer what the right to keep and bear arms means by spelling out that individuals may "buy, sell, transfer, own, loan, possess, transport, carry, and operate firearms as well as all standard, necessary, customary, or usual equipment and accessories including magazines and ammunition."
Gun control advocates, knowing they cannot confiscate guns directly, instead seek to limit who can buy firearms, the size of magazines, and how they can be transferred. They are endlessly creative in trying to get around the letter of the law.
The amendment seeks to put an end to that scheming, not only by spelling out the rights in more detail, but also by preventing the legislature from writing new laws infringing citizens' rights. If the right to keep and bear arms is to be limited, it must be done by a vote of the people.
SEE RELATED: Joe Salazar: A Colorado Democrat's War on Women
Before January, Colorado already had common sense limits on the right to bear arms. Background checks against both Colorado and federal databases were in place, and there was no so-called gun show exemption. Felons could not own guns. Concealed carry required a permit. None of that changes should the proposed amendment become law.
What will change is that the legislature will no longer unilaterally be able to restrict people's right to self-defense.
Every initiative in Colorado goes through a process of review and approval before the wording is final. This can take several months. The sponsors then have six months to collect 86,105 valid signatures to put the initiative on the ballot. If enough signatures are gathered, this amendment will be on the November 2014 ballot.
This is not the only proposed constitutional amendment in progress. In March, at almost the same time as the magazine ban bill was passed, an amendment was filed by two Littleton, Colorado, men to amend the constitution to allow any size magazines. The proposal simply states that "No law, except a law enacted by a vote of the people, shall restrict or limit the right of the people to purchase or possess ammunition storage and feeding devices of any capacity."
The attempt by the Democrat-controlled legislature to enact gun control in Colorado has been met with fierce resistance from the people. There were massive protests as the bills were forced through the legislative process. Two senators are in the process of being recalled, and recalls were attempted against another senator and a representative. Rumor has it that another attempt to recall Sen. Evie Hudak will be made in the fall. There is a lawsuit in federal district court. County sheriffs have said that the magazine ban is unenforceable and that they will not enforce it. County commissions have passed resolutions in support of their sheriffs and the right to bear arms.
And now added to the mix is an amendment to take back the grant of power to the legislature to write laws in this area.
It is clear that the Colorado legislature cannot be trusted to do the will of the people.

A top schools official has resigned and an assistant principal has been fired over a scandal involving extramarital affairs, spying and threats.
A report by the Special Investigator's office says Milciades Pepin, an assistant principal for several schools in Manhattan, used his skills to hack into computers and cell phones belonging to his four supervisors, including Superintendent Francesca Pena.
Investigators say Pena admitted that two years ago, she asked Pepin to help her hack into her husband's cell phone over concerns he was involved with another woman. Pepin and Pena were also romantically involved, according to the report.
Investigators suspect Pepin turned the tables on Pena, spying on her, as well as the three principals he worked for.
"He had access to the computers, to the cell phones that the principals were using. So he just downloaded technology that allowed him to create e-mails, to erase e-mails, to change e-mails, to send e-mails from one person to another person," said Special Commissioner of Investigation Richard Condon.
At least one of those messages was sent from Pena's email account to Schools Chancellor Joel Klein.
The report's findings have been referred to the Manhattan district attorney.
The Department of Education says it's looking into what training employees receive and what security precautions are in place to safeguard against electronic spying.

So again travel is more difficult than it should be. The difference of being 6 minutes behind schedule because I thought I had a second option has fucked me and I am now worried I'll miss my flight. I'm still ahead of schedule but that isn't any where close to reassuring in a land where I can't confirm any information… I can't ask how the traffic is, I can't check web sites, nothing. And that stretches the boundaries of my patience and anxiety. The ability to verify info and adjust accordingly allows me to cope and right now… I have no coping mechanisms.

I slept deeply on the plane from take off to near landing. The funny moment came when the male flight attendant need me to wake and sit up. He wouldn't touch me or say anything other than "You must sit up now." He finally called over the female flight attendant who wouldn't do anything other than politely tell me to sit up. I really wonder what they would have done if I'd not woken…
In very good English, the attendant at the mobile roaming counter says, "I don't speak English. Please go to the counter at gate G." I'm impressed that my Hangul seems to be so improved…
So for the last few weeks, the hallway lights have been out. When I talked to my realtor about it, she explained it's because of the rain. On Friday night, she was in the garage with some maintenance men working on lights in the garage. By the time I headed out for dinner, my hallway lights were working. Yay!
However, when I got back to the villa yesterday afternoon, the elevator was out (thank the gods the hallway lights were back on) and my internet was down (thank the gods for unlimited 3G my droid). And so it goes here.
We are about to be hit by a typhoon. It will be interesting given the way Korea sort of falls apart at the seams when the weather changes. I'm glad I live on a hill and on the 4th floor of my villa. Perhaps this will even get me out of day or two of work.
The day started at 1:45 PM and ended at 11:30 PM. We had great train adventures and got so sweaty hot that I don't think I'll go again.
Differences: When a batter is hit by a pitcher, he doesn't automatically advance to first.
When the ball bounces back into the field, it's an infield home run not a ground rule double (probably because the rest of Seoul is just beyond the outfield).
They have cheerleaders as well as mascots.
Home run is the same in Hangul.
then I'm done.
that I will ever get how to live here… It's all just so surreal.
I wanted some brainless movie tonight and there are 8 movie channels on the Korean cable I subscribe to. For some reason tonight, they're all showing "Foreign" films… The subtitles don't help when I don't speak French or read Hangul… Le sigh.
As I took my trash to the curb tonight, I saw someone with a flash light looking at the bags. As I got closer, I saw it was a Korean, doing what they always do when garbage has been freshly put out. They have a different concept of recycling here and it always makes me think twice about what I actually throw out.

TRAPS TRAPS TRAPS. I remember when I was in high school I would dream about having huge bulging traps. I would get so jealous when i saw the older football guys with their giant shoulders.
I work my traps every other workout no matter what muscle group I'm training. I even go so far as to work out my neck by using a headstrap before i go to bed at night. I hang a 35lb plate off my head and do raises. My traps/neck are pretty thick.
I love to work traps as well but I'd say my favorite is my back. Favorite exercise to get the best pump is close grip lat pulldown. 4 sets of 10 reps at high weight then finish it off at 50% weight to failure. Hurts so good.

Now it's delts. I love the delt machine. It's funny how you don't notice a machine or you give it the ole poo poo attitude. Then you do it and it's like holy shit this is awesome.....that sounds kind of like a couple girls i've got with....

XLR8R's Best of 2014: Labels
After devoting most our our attention to artists, releases, and tracks over the past few weeks, today's edition of our ongoing Best of 2014 series is all about record labels. Interestingly enough, it wasn't that long ago that many people were predicting that the internet's ability to connect artists directly with their fans would eliminate (or at least lessen) the need to enlist labels in the process. However, with each passing year, it almost seems like the opposite has been true; while the internet has certainly made lots of music more accessible than ever before, the web's unending tide has also worked to make that music feel increasingly disposable. With so many options out there, strong curatorial outposts are essential for those looking to cut through the noise, and that's where the labels come in. A good record label can serve as an aesthetic beacon, and when it's done well, running an imprint is something of an art in itself, and worth appreciating. In that spirit, we recently began to assemble a list of our 10 favorite labels of the year; however, limiting ourself to such a small number ultimately proved impossible, so we've also included five additional labels in a special "honorable mention" category.

Lil Wayne's Emotional Farewell: 'I'm Out This Bitch'
Lil Wayne, scheduled to surrender to police and begin a one-year prison term today, broadcast an hour-long live video message to fans last night in which he said good-bye for now: "I'm out this bitch. To all my fans, my real fans, I really, really, really truly love you. I love you with all of me, for real. I'll probably be loving everything else because I love you so much. Thank you from the bottom [of my heart]. Do not forget about me 'cause I will forever think about you, and I cannot wait for you to see me again. I'm out." [Rap-Up]

The Wildcats and Wildkittens each defeated Murphy, N.C., in the event's opening round, but then fell to Hayesville, N.C., in the semifinals. The Benton squads then battled Gordon Lee (Ga.) Saturday in the event's consolation finals, but once again came out on the short end for fourth-place finishes in the eight-team competition.
A big fourth quarter rallied the Lady Trojans to a 51-45 victory, while the Gordon Lee boys were able to claim a 59-40 win.
The Polk County squads will be back to regular season play Friday with a trip to Decatur to face former District 5-AA member and longtime rival Meigs County. The girls game will tip off at 6 p.m. with the boys to follow around 7:30.
The Wildkittens (7-7) claimed an early lead in Saturday's girls' consolation game, leading 14-10 at the first horn. Coach Johnny Hayes' felines saw their advantage cut in half (26-24) by the intermission, but were able to inch back up by another point (36-33) by the end of the third frame.
Gordon Lee made a late charge and doubled-up the Polk scoring in the final eight minutes with an 18-9 run to claim the six-point finale.
Katelyn Lee topped all scorers with 25 points, while her Lady Trojan teammate Sarah Meadows netted 15.
The Polk girls were paced by Bella Liner's 20-point effort, which included a trio of 3-pointers and 5-of-6 free throws.
Heather McLain and Mikayla McClary pitched in with 11 and 10 points respectively. Hannah Withrow was the chairwoman of the boards with a dozen rebounds, while McLain cleaned the glass for a half dozen ricochets for the Wildkittens. McClary pulled down four caroms, copped four steals and went 4-for-4 at the free-throw line. Polk County was 13-of-15 at the charity stripe in the contest.
In the boys' contest, Cody Groomes finished off an all-tournament team performance with a dozen points, including a pair of long-range bombs, plus he snagged five rebounds.
Devin Weber and Gage Locke both netted 10 points for the Wildcats (3-12), while Bryce Coffey added four, plus cleared five caroms. Will Richmond only netted one basket but handed out four assists and grabbed four boards.
Gordon Lee (5-6) was paced by 15 points apiece from all-tournament selection Samuel Welsh and Garrett McAllister. McAllister drilled a trio of treys, while Welsh netted a pair.
Bearettes fall to
S.C. state runner-up
DORMAN, S.C. — Battling in the semifinals of the Dorman Christmas Classic, the Bradley Central Bearettes came up short to the defending South Carolina state runner-up and host Dorman High School squad Saturday evening.
Falling to 10-4 on the season, head coach Jason Reuter's squad came out on the short end of a 44-37 tally, posting their lowest offensive output of the season.
The Bearettes will take on Parkview, a 2,800-enrollment school out of Lilburn, Ga., in today's third-place contest at the eight-team event.
Bradley will return to Jim Smiddy Arena to take on Girls Preparatory School on Jan. 6.

"First People of the Prairies," The Iowa Heritage: Program # 1, Iowa Public Television, 1979.
The earliest known people of Iowa used rocks and spears to kill wild game. But by about 500 A.D. the Indians were using the bow and arrow on their hunting party. The bow and arrow added power, accuracy and distance that the spear could not achieve. Arrows traveled much faster, so they could kill smaller game: birds, rabbits, deer. Or go directly to the heart of a large bison.

My 5 year old cat Sophie is quite a firecracker, and she has recently fallen in love with a particular toy. Every night while my family is still awake, she will entertain herself by throwing the toy over her head and chasing after it. When we go to bed, I hear her carrying the toy around, and letting out long meows/yowls. The first time I heard her meowing this way I was worried she was in distress, however, she seems perfectly fine, and she immediately stops and drops her toy when I call out to her. The funny thing is, she will only do this when she thinks no one is watching. I snuck downstairs to see if I could catch her in the act, and she quickly saw me and stopped. I have also noticed now that she is bringing the toy into my room and on my bed in the middle of the night!! It's really adorable, but I'm just curious if this is playing behavior, or if she is perhaps bringing me her toy as if it were her prey, or maybe something else entirely?
Carrying toy and yowling?
TheCatSite.com Top Picks
My Emily does the same thing! She sounds almost distressed. I"ve always thought she was trying to get my attention so I will play with the toy with her (toss it for her to catch, etc...)

My Bella does the same thing. She has her favorite bow tie toy made out of plushy fabric. She will pick it up and yell as loud as she can without dropping it. Basically she will only yell with the toy in her mouth. But as soon as I look at her she will drop it immediately.
I wonder if this is a girl thing?
Why does she do it?
My girls do it when they catch a mouse! So I think it's prey behavior. And of course the boys are lazy so they DON"T catch anything! haha!
That sounds about right. Emily is quite a hunter (the indoor type.)
Yeah, the girls have to be the good hunters to feed and teach the young ones, don't they? Interesting topic!

Huh! Who knew this was such a common behavior! Sophie has never caught a thing in her life, although she is super feisty and loves to play, so I wouldn't be too surprised if it were an instinctual hunting behavior! She's actually yowling with her toy as I write this, haha.
Exactly, and the boys are just like male lions, laying around in the sun LOL!

well you guys i have a male cat who does this, so unless he's a female cat trapped in a male's body, i don't think it's strictly feminine behavior.
i thought he just wanted attention. he does it when i'm almost asleep, stands in here by the computer and yells loudly with it in his mouth. he's siamese so i'm kind of used to them talking a lot, but he did sound a little distressed. plus muffled because he doesn't take it out of his mouth. if i'm almost asleep, i don't do anything but i've called him before and he came with it in his mouth lol. i just assumed he wanted to play. he does bring it and leave it on my bed too.

My Tumbles, male 2 yrs old, neutered, also does this just about every night. I never see him playing with this particular toy, but he'll carry it around at night after we've gone to bed or during the day after he thinks he's all alone. If I call to him, he'll drop it and come running and settle down.

LOL, nope. My boy Maxie (MC) will carry his green mylar ball around the house in his mouth talking the whole time with it in his mouth. My kitties have many, many toys and other mylar balls, but the green one, for whatever reason, is the only one that Maxie does this with. God forbid if it ever gets lost!
I can always tell, even without seeing him, that he has it in his mouth because his meow is muffled a bit--like when somebody talks with their mouth full. What a hoot! And very cute!
I'll find it in places where I sit, in my bed, or other areas of the house where he seems to leave it just for me.
I've always wondered what the fascination is with the one particular toy.

I'm pretty sure it's prey behaviour too, as my girl caught a mouse and walked around the house making a huge (muffled noise). And she's done it with lizards.
Maybe that particular toy taps into an instinctive prey thing.. right size/shape/colour?

My Phoebe does this... Especially with toys that contain feathers or real animal fur. It is a hunting behavior. They are proclaiming they've made a kill and they are mighty and successful! Perfectly natural. I don't know about girls doing so more than boys but my Phoebe is the only one of mine that do this. At first I thought she was in pain or something but now I realize she does this with the toy in her mouth after she has "killed" it!

Our mainecoon boy does this! He used to do it only occasionally, but since we've introduced my kitten into the house as a full-time indoor cat, he does it almost every night, sometimes multiple times, always with the same toy. I call it his "HEY GUYS I CAUGHT A THING!" yowl. I'm pretty sure he's doing it because he's a bit jealous of the babycat getting attention when he's not. It's kind of an adorably pathetic gesture of "See, I can do impressive things too! I killed a thingy for you! LOVE MEEEEEEE!!!"
Relevant to observations of it being a trait more prevalent in female cats, my little girl kitten has never done this, even though she's seen our male mainecoon do it many times. She hasn't yet copied this behavior. She just likes to take her toys and drag them all over the house and pile them in doorways until she runs out of toys to move like that. She doesn't "announce her kill." But then... if she wants attention she doesn't bother with toys, she just sits and makes a long whiney-sounding "meeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww!" noise. Coincidentally, my 5-year-old does EXACTLY the same thing when she wants attention or treats, too.

My little Freyja does this with her stuffed mousies when she wants to play or needs us to pay attention to her. When mommy cats teach their babies to hunt, they bring them live mice so the kittens can practice catching it. Your cat just thinks you need to learn to hunt better! Just be glad it's a toy. When my mom was younger, she had a cat bring her a live mouse and left in her bed while she was sleeping.

Our cat Frosty used to do this with a tourniquate. She loved them and we'd have to play with her with it when she did that. She stopped doing it when they got new ones at the hospital my mom works at and she brought the new type home because it was time to replace it. She hated the new ones (and as a nurse so did my mom) but she'd yowl when it was bedtime too! She'd go to my bedroom door if I hadn't gone to bed on time and sit outside it yowling for me until I went to bed

My eldest cat Kuce does this as well (She's 19 yrs). She has her favorite toy ( stuffed fabric mouse that's a little worse for wear) that she'll carry around yowling at (sometimes we joke she's scolding it). Sometimes I wonder if she thinks a baby kitten she's lecturing.

Luna does that only when she has kittens. When her kittens were growing up she suddenly started to do that with few mouse toys, she had never done it before and doesn't do it if there are no kittens around so I'm quite sure it's a prey thing. She often brought the mouse to the kittens and seemed to expect them to do something with it. None of my males have ever done that.
The internet phenomenon Maru does that with a feather string toy, they have videos of him doing it. He's a neutered male.

Overseas missions changes students' viewsby Charissa Veal
Cleveland, Ga. (TMCNews) -- Days after the 2013 spring semester concluded, six Truett-McConnell College students set out for Malaysia to share their faith with Sikhs and learn their culture. Though the students both planted Gospel seeds and made contacts for others ministries in the region, through learning about the Sikhs the students found their own faithJesse Mitchum shares truths from the Bible with an inquisitive man who owned no Bible and was unable to buy one. So Mitchum gave the man his Bible. so greatly deepened that the most visible impact of the trip was the change within themselves rather than the people they encountered."I went on this trip to Malaysia thinking I would serve God by sharing the Gospel and hopefully bless His soul and make Him proud," said MacKenzie Stover. "But I have come out thinking that it's hard to see what I did for God through what He did for me.""Having felt my call to foreign missions at the age of 16, and without any missions experience, I worried that this trip would scare me away from that commitment," she said. "I thought the trip could either make me or break me."As it turns out, Stover was right. God used her first trip out of the country to solidify her call to missions and show her just how much the world needs Jesus. "This trip was more than I could ever dream. I have grown a deep love for those who are mistakenly following false gods and who have no hope because of it," Stover said. "I realize how blessed we are as Christians to possess such a real and true hope. I will never be able to fully express how grateful I am that Christ died for me and thus doing, guaranteed me an eternity in His presence."As the team learned about the Sikhs' beliefs, they also discovered that the Sikhs believe in relative truth as opposed to absolute truth. Sikhs spend their lives searching for truth, but still they believe that all religions lead to God. The team found this hard to understand, but the realization made a much needed, lasting impression."The need for the Gospel spans the globe, not just our country," said Jesse Mitchum. "Everywhere in the world, people are alive physically but spiritually dead. The power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ has the power to resurrect a soul and to turn a heart back toward God. So often as believers, we selfishly withhold this life-saving truth. Must we constantly be reminded that we will give an account for everything we did and didn't do one day?"Making cultural inroads for the Gospel, Charissa Veal and Mackenzie Stover (L to R) help prepare a meal that Sikhs offer to locals for free.Through this and other experiences in Malaysia, Mitchum determined that he needed to be bolder in America. "Knowing that my number-one objective in Malaysia was to tell others about Jesus has caused me to be bolder in my evangelism and witnessing -- something I often lack here at home."Chase Thomas found his views of missions challenged as well. "During this trip, God expanded my understanding of life on the mission field," he said. "It is one thing to read and talk about the different parts and stages of missions, but it is another to actually experience it and wrestle with the good, the bad, and the sometimes ugly parts of ministry."After having a good conversation with a storeowner, who claimed to be a Christian, Thomas was surprised when the man both gave and recommended to Thomas a book about meditation, and promised that, through it, Thomas would find true peace.Aside from deepening Thomas's desire to reach out to the lost, God used this particular situation to open Thomas's eyes to "the ugliness of syncretism," he said. "There were so many who professed to be Christians but also followed Buddhist and Hindu worship. The value of correct doctrine and biblical methodology for ministry are some major points God taught me on this trip."In light of the team's purpose to take the Gospel to another country, they certainly succeeded, though perhaps not quite as well as they had hoped. They did, however, learn some important lessons for future ministries.Because of her service to God that resulted in even greater change in herself, Stover was "overwhelmed that God calls us to serve Him in various ways, yet that we always come out ahead when we do."God showed Thomas ministry in a new light: "Overall, God is moving mountains of my own American thought and my own pride, and is bringing me to a place of humility before Him."For Mitchum, his whole outlook on witnessing changed. Inspired and convicted by his boldness in a foreign country, he made this plea, speaking not only to his fellow Christians, but also to himself: "Preach Jesus as Lord today. Tomorrow could be too late."
Charissa Veal is a student at Truett-McConnell College.

Home Environment Affects Asthmatic Kids
Children from single-parent homes were more likely to be readmitted to hospital, study finds
SATURDAY, Nov. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Children with asthma who live in single-parent homes are 50 percent more likely to return to the hospital for treatment within a year than those who live in two-parent homes, a new study finds.
Kids from families whose annual income was less than $60,000 a year were also more likely to be readmitted, as were kids from homes with "time constraints."
The findings suggest that financial strain and competing priorities in single-parent homes are major issues, the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center researchers said.
The study was to be presented Saturday at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology annual meeting in Boston.
"Parents play an important role in controlling their child's asthma and it takes time, energy and resources to follow their physician's treatment plan, including reducing triggers and consistently giving medicines," Dr. Terri Moncrief said in a college news release.
"That's why it's important to understand the constraints on single parents and identify innovative interventions to help these parents better manage their child's symptoms and ultimately keep asthma under control," Moncrief added.
Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Each year in the United States, uncontrolled asthma results in about 500,000 hospitalizations, 1.8 million emergency room visits and 10.5 million physician office visits, according to the ACAAI. In children, asthma accounts for nearly 13 million missed school days a year.

Graduating students wait to receive their degrees during commencement on Sunday, Dec 11, 2011 at Valparaiso (Ind.) University. | Jim Karczewski~for Sun-Times Media
Updated: December 19, 2012 12:32PM
Modest good news for college students: An annual survey predicts employers will increase hiring of new 4-year college graduates about 5 percent in the coming year. Demand for graduates with associate's degrees is expected to increase more sharply — by about 30 percent compared to last year's survey — while MBA hiring appears headed for an unexpected decline.
The 42nd annual survey out Thursday from Michigan State University's College Employment Research Institute collects responses on hiring plans from more than 2,000 U.S. employers. It paints a mixed picture reflecting an improving economy but also uncertainty over the "fiscal cliff" negotiations.
The hiring numbers are certainly better than for students who graduated at the depths of the recession, but overall indicate less aggressive hiring than the last couple of years, which survey director Phil Gardner attributed to the political situation as well as weakness in sectors like defense. The survey was conducted before the election.
"Everybody just stopped making decisions to see how this election was going to be play out," Gardner said. "A lot of people are sitting on the fence."
For 4-year college graduates, the report finds employers are looking most actively for business-related majors, but demand is also strong for "all majors." Demand for engineering, accounting and computer science majors appears somewhat soft.
As for those with MBAs, Gardner said it appears companies are more willing to fill jobs with bachelor's-only recipients, who command less salary. That's unfortunate for a glut of MBA students.
"The top-school MBA grads aren't going to have a problem," Gardner said. "It's all these kids without a lot of professional experience that aren't at the top-tier programs that will probably struggle to find work that is an 'MBA job.'"
While higher degrees generally translate into higher earnings, there are variations. According to Georgetown University researchers, roughly 30 percent of associate's degree recipients earn more than people with a bachelor's. AP

Personal:Married to Erin Davern for five years. He has two daughters from a previous marriage.
Occupation:Owner of Munzing Mortgage Group
Education:Bachelor's of Science from Cal State Fullerton in business, with a dual emphasis in industrial marketing and real estate finance
Top issues:Reassessing city's relationship with other groups, reassessing sign ordinances in the city that affect Realtors and creating a more approachable City Council
Civic service: Orange County Republican Party's Central Committee in the 73rd District, California Republican Party delegate, founding member of Aliso Viejo Chamber of Commerce, member of OC Association of Realtors for more than 20 years, volunteer at OC Rescue Mission in Tustin and Second Harvest Food Bank
Michael Munzing's enthusiasm is contagious. He barely stops to catch a breath as he shares his life, views on small government or the city issues with which he might disagree.
The Santa Ana native was elected in November, along with Ross Chun, uprooting incumbents for the first time in the city's short history.
City Council may be nonpartisan but a quick Google search will show that Munzing has a passion for politics.
The founder of Munzing Mortgage Group is an elected representative for the Orange County GOP, in the central committee for the 73rd Assembly District. His website touts his love of Ronald Reagan and conservatism. When he campaigned, he admits he targeted his party's constituents and independents.
Ross Chun, endorsed by the Democratic Party and an environmental consulting firm owner, might fall on the other side of the political spectrum, but Munzing believes they're both on the council to tackle items that "make common sense." Fun fact: the two of them skateboarded together when they were in high school in Orange. Munzing even included Ross on his victory celebration flier at Stadium Brewing, to the dismay of some party supporters.
Munzing might be against some Green City Initiative ideas, but, he points out, he moved to the city because of his love of mountain biking.
Just don't mention the "s word" around him: sustainability.
Q. Why did you decide to run for City Council?
I've always been someone opinionated and definitely had my political views.
When 2007 rolled around, I think a lot of it is my experience in the mortgage industry, looking at what the government was doing with all the guidelines. The government essentially created the financial nightmare. The banks and lenders were the instruments but the government is the one that let it happen....That got me really fired up about politics.
I got into political ideology and policy theory. I started learning more and more. As they say, all politics is local. A lot of what Aliso Viejo was adopting or looking into you might say – their Green City Initiative and rewriting their General Plan. When a city is only (11) years old, there's something going on here.
I'm not a big believer in the global warming stuff. I know there are a lot of ulterior motives. They're using that as a vehicle to push other ideologies.
I said guys, we're spending... I think we're up to $300,000 to $400,000 with the Green City Initiative and CO2 studies. They're supporting, pushing and embracing an ideology beyond what the science really is...
The City Council's role isn't to modify the behaviors of its residents.
I started going to City Council meetings. I saw a lot of bullying and snapping back at residents.

The men of the 9th and 10th Cavalry came from various social and economic backgrounds. Many were veterans of the Civil War. The ranks of the new cavalry units were filled with ex-slaves but they now had a new perspective – freedom.
The Indian campaigns of the West provided the signature recognition for the 9th and 10th Cavalry. Shortly after, both units were transferred to the West, they, along with other cavalry units, engaged Native Americans in battle. The 9th patrolled the Rio Grande River and the Mexican border, escorting and protecting government mail and settlers, and containing Indians, Mexicans, and lawless Americans.
Between 1867 and 1886, the 10th was engaged in extended campaigns against the Cheyenne, Kiowas, Comanches and Apaches in Kansas, New Mexico, Arizona and the Indian Territory.

What is Sceletium tortuosum (Kanna)?
Benefits and Uses
*In addition to Sceletium's ( Kanna's) common use for the stress and mental fatigue of modern industrial living, Sceletium has been used as a natural supplement in:
*Sceletium is also being used as a natural anti-depressant that is said to be safer than many pharmaceutical alternatives.
*Individuals suffering from depression and anxiety can benefit from Sceletium.
Sceletium tortuosum (Kanna) was chewed, smoked or used as snuff producing euphoria and alertness which gently fade into relaxation. If chewed in sufficient quantity Sceletium has a mild anesthetic effect in the mouth, much like kava, and is used by the San tribes if you are about to have a tooth extracted, or in minute doses, for children with colic. A tea made from Sceletium is sometimes used to wean alcoholics off alcohol.

Could HCTZ, lisinopril, amlodipine, and Zocor cause extremely active sleepwalking?
- Q: My husband, in the last couple of years, has been extremely active while sleeping. He gives speeches, swings bats or golf clubs, vacuums, shoots a rifle, writes on the blackboard, etc. This has caused me to have sleep deprivation. He takes HCTZ, lisinopril, amlodipine, and Zocor. Could any of these cause this busy behavior while sleeping?
- A: Sleepwalking can have many different levels from mild activities such as talking or laughing out loud to more complex behaviors. Sleepwalking can occur when people are anxious, sleep-deprived, fatigued, or have a fever. Other conditions that can lead to sleepwalking include nighttime epilepsy, sleep disorders, extreme stress, or a reaction to a medication. The medications that your husband takes do not have sleep disturbances listed as a common side effect associated with their use. The recommendation is to talk to your husband's physician so that the sleepwalking can be evaluated. Sometimes patients are treated with medications such as benzodiazepines or antidepressants if the sleepwalking is severe or if there is a fear of injury to the patient. For more specific information, consult with your husband's doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on his health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action.
