The POPs Treaty
The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, better known as the POPs treaty, is a legally binding international agreement to protect human health and the environment from some of the most dangerous chemicals on earth. POPs are defined by their persistence in the environment, their bioaccumulation in nature and in people, and the harm they pose often far from the source. Countries that ratify the treaty are known as Parties commit to abide by its provisions. The POPs treaty calls on Parties to take action to eliminate the production of POPs, minimize unintentional sources, and clean-up and safely manage remaining stockpiles and wastes.
The Stockholm POPs treaty names twelve POPs chemicals (the "Dirty Dozen"), which are listed under three Annexes. The nine POPs listed on Annex A are destined for elimination with specific, time-limited exemptions. This includes the agricultural chemicals aldrin, chlordane, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, mirex, and toxaphene, as well as the industrial chemicals hexachlorobenzene (HCB), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). In contrast, POPs listed on Annex B are subject to restrictions on production and use, but eligible for specific exemptions for acceptable purposes. Annex B contains just one substance, the pesticide DDT. Annex C contains POPs that are unintentionally produced, for example as industrial byproducts and combustion processes. Four of the Dirty Dozen POPs are listed under Annex C: polychlorinated dioxins, polychlorinated furans, PCBs, and HCB.
A crucial feature of the POPs treaty is the process for adding other POPs substances. The treaty establishes a rigorous scientific review process for chemicals proposed for addition. The Persistent Organic Pollutant Review Committee (POPRC), an international group of experts chosen by countries that have ratified the treaty, evaluates proposals and makes recommendations on whether and how to add a chemical to the Stockholm Convention.
After a chemical is nominated for consideration, the POPRC first determines whether the substance meets the POP criteria for persistence, bioaccumulation, long-range environmental transport, and adverse impacts. If a substance fulfills these requirements, the POPRC develops a risk profile for chemical under consideration. If the POPRC concludes that global action is warranted, it develops a risk management evaluation proposing control measures. The POPRC can recommend that the Conference of the Parties (COP) lists the substance in one or more Annexes of the Stockholm POPs treaty.
If the POPRC recommends a candidate POP, the COP can decide to list the substance and specify control measures. The majority of countries are expected to bring new POPs under control as they are listed under the Stockholm Convention. However countries have the option, at the time they becomes a Party, to elect an "opt-in" approach to future POPs listings. The United States has indicated that it would reserve the right to opt-in on future amendments, including new POPs.
The Stockholm Convention includes several other important features. It establishes a Secretariat responsible for organizing meetings of the COP and other subsidiary bodies, facilitating assistance to the Parties, coordinating with other relevant international bodies, and preparing periodic reports. The treaty calls for the development of national implementation plans, technical assistance, new financial resources to enable developing country parties to effectively implement the treaty, and compliance mechanisms.
The POPs treaty was completed and opened for signature in May 2001 and entered into force on May 17, 2004 following ratification by the 50th nation. As of May 4, 2009, 162 countries and the European Union had ratified or acceded to the Stockholm Convention on POPs.

What We Do
Bears of Hope is an all volunteer organization based in Skokie, IL. We make handmade fabric bears to bring hope, lift spirits and give comfort to children and adults stuggling with serious life crises. When given a bear, their eyes light up, they smile, and reach out to to get the bear and hold it. The bear becomes their special friend they can hug, hold, cuddle, and talk to whenever they feel sad, hurt, or lonely.
The bears are not mass produced. No two bears are made with the same fabric. They are lovingly sewn, stuffed, and hand sewn closed by volunteers. This makes each bear look slightly different and unique, just like the bear's recipient.
The bears are donated to specific social service agencies in the metropolitan Chicago area:
* Children's Service Agencies
* Hospices
* Women's Shelters
* Skokie's Police & Fire Departments
They, in turn, give bears to those under their care needing something to hug and hold to make their situation more 'bearable'.
Bears of Hope Bears
The bears are not for sale. They are only for sick children and adults.
Bear Makers
Bears of Hope volunteers make the bears. Most work is done at volunteers' homes and at their convenience.
Get Involved
Volunteer or support Bears of Hope with a financial gift*. Together, we can touch the lives of children and adults in crises situations and 'Make a Difference' in their life. We have no paid staff; we're all volunteers. All funds are only used to for materials needed for bears.
Contact Bears of Hope to volunteer:
firstname.lastname@example.com or 847-673-4098
Please help us with your financial gift*.
Send YOUR check donation* to:
Bears of Hope, 8331 Kostner, Skokie, IL 60076
*Donations to Bears of Hope are not deductible as charitable contributions for tax purposes; they support materials to make bears for sick children and adults.

The Star Tribune's journalists need your help blowing the whistle in Minnesota. Contact us here.
Citing "multiple issues with the products", the Minnesota Department of Revenue issued a crisp statement today urging tax filers to avoid using Intuit products to prepare or file their state income taxes. The products include TurboTax, Lacerte, Intuit online and ProSeries.
The state warned that using the products could "jeopardize the accuracy of your return or delay your return."
In a conference call, the department said there were multiple issues with the software including assigning political contributions to the wrong party, failing to give an education credit for multiple dependents, incorrectly calculating property tax refunds, and a variety of other calculation errors. Some of these issues surfaced just in the past several days, according to Terri Steenblock, assistant commission for the department.
"The Department of Revenue is not affiliated with Intuit and we find these errors unacceptable. We expect Intuit to correct these problems immediately. If they fail to do so, the department will stop processing returns filed using Intuit," the department said.
Steenblock said they are meeting with Intuit on a daily basis.
If you have not prepared or filed your return yet, the department suggests you use different software or prepare your taxes in another way.
If you have already used Intuit software to prepare your taxes, but haven't yet filed, wait to file until Intuit announces that problems are fixed.
If you have already prepared and filed your taxes using Intuit software, call Intuit at 1-866-888-4609.

Free Online Giving
24 Jul
First of all, if your church doesn't provide online giving, this needs to be at the top of your list for tomorrow! Let me provide a few reasons why online giving is so important for your church:
- We live in a cashless society.
- Members don't want to write their card number on an envelope every Sunday.
- Recurring giving helps people remember their commitments.
- If it takes longer than 40 seconds to give, 80% of people abandon the transaction.
With all of these things in mind, the real question is, who do I use for online giving? Great question. Our first option is FREE! Well, when I say free, I mean $0/mo. There is still a transaction fee, as there is with any service that accepts credit cards. With that in mind let's look at EasyTithe.com.
EasyTithe blows everyone else out of the water when it comes to value, and it's the only decent looking mobile/online giving option for free. Here is everything included in the free version:
- Online Giving
- Mobile Giving
- Recurring Giving
- Event Forms (People can register and pay for events.)
- Transaction fee of 3% + $.30
You can add Text Giving for $5/mo and a Giving Kiosk for $19/mo. They also have $29/mo (2.6%) and $49/mo (1.99%) plans.
There are many options out there that aren't free but worth looking into. I would recommend CloverDonations.com and eChurchGiving.com which boasts 10-second giving. Many church management apps (CCB, Fellowship One, etc.) include online giving, but most are complicated and take longer than 40 seconds.
The Bottom Line: With a free option for online giving, you have no excuse.

Louis T. Wright
Louis Tompkins Wright (1891–1952) was an American surgeon noted for his work in Harlem. The Spingarn Medallist played a major role in investigating the use of Aureomycin as a treatment on humans. Wright, a native of LaGrange, Georgia, received his bachelor's degree from Clark Atlanta University in 1911 before getting his medical degree from Harvard in 1915. His efforts related to Civil Rights began in college when he missed three weeks of school to join picket lines protesting The Birth of a Nation. He went on to graduate fourth in his class and was a Captain in the Army Medical Corps in France in World War I. During the war he introduced intradermal vaccination for smallpox, was gassed and won the Purple Heart. On returning to the United States he moved to New York, and in 1919 he became the first African American on the surgical staff of Harlem Hospital. In 1934 he became a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He worked there for thirty years, started the Harlem Hospital Bulletin, headed the team that first used Aureomycin, and founded the hospital's cancer research center. He became an expert on head injuries. He died of tuberculosis in 1952. Wright also served as  ( Wikipedia article )

Match report
Chelsea returned to the top of the Barclays Premier League with a convincing 3-0 victory over Stoke City.
Jose Mourinho's men suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend before losing 3-1 to Paris Saint-Germain in their midweek UEFA Champions League last-eight clash to cap a miserable five-day spell.
But a return to Stamford Bridge proved welcome for the title chasers as Mohamed Salah scored on his full debut, Frank Lampard netted the rebound from his own saved penalty and Willian rifled home a stunner to preserve Chelsea's unbeaten home record in the top flight this season.
The result also extends Chelsea's excellent record against Stoke on home soil, with the Potters having lost on their last eight visits, failing to score in the last seven. It settles a score for the London club too, after they were beaten 3-2 at the Britannia Stadium in December.
Mourinho, who has repeatedly downplayed his side's title chances, rested some key players as Eden Hazard, scorer of Chelsea's goal at the Parc des Princes, and Oscar took up places on the bench. Fernando Torres did start, however, and was denied by the alert Asmir Begovic as the Spaniard looked to race on to Willian's early throughball. The former Liverpool striker then fired a shot narrowly wide of goal in the ninth minute.
Branislav Ivanovic might have done better with an 18-yard effort midway through the half but the Serbian looped his shot over the crossbar with the outside of his right boot.
Stoke almost gifted the hosts the opening goal when Erik Pieters attempted to chest the ball back to Begovic, only for Torres to intervene, forcing the visiting goalkeeper to bravely block.
Salah made the breakthrough with 31 minutes gone, firing in an excellent first-time effort after good work down the left from Nemanja Matic.
The visitors made a determined start to the second half and, with Chelsea struggling to assert themselves, Mourinho introduced Hazard from the bench.The Belgian immediately had an impact, playing a neat backheel into Salah inside the box, where the Egyptian was brought down by half-time substitute Andy Wilkinson for a Chelsea penalty.
Lampard's effort was initially saved by Begovic down to the goalkeeper's right, but the England midfielder responded first to tap the loose ball into an empty net.
There was no way back for former Chelsea forward Mark Hughes' side when Willian stroked home a tremendous effort from the edge of the box with 18 minutes left, but Stoke are still all but safe from relegation on 40 points.
Chelsea, though, have loftier aims and can now prepare for Tuesday's visit of PSG with a degree of confidence after an eighth consecutive clean sheet at home in all competitions.
In the meantime, Liverpool will hope to usurp the Blues at the summit when they travel to West Ham United on Sunday.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "I keep saying that we don't depend only on ourselves and we never did. I was waiting to be top of the league and depending on ourselves but that has never happened. We depend too much on other results.
"We have to play Liverpool so we have three points to discuss with them but with Manchester City we don't play them, so they have it in their hands."
"They played well. Normally after defeats you don't start very confidently and that's what happened. But we finished the first half 1-0 and it could have been two or three because we played well in the last 20-25 minutes of the first half. The second goal [arrived] and the game is over, everything was under control.
"It is a good victory and it's what we have to do until the end of the season. We have five matches in the Premier League and we have to win five."
Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "I was disappointed with what we produced. It's a wake-up call to us. For weeks and weeks we've been a lot better than that but for whatever reason we didn't have enough players playing at their maximum today.
"In the end we weren't able to ask enough questions of a good Chelsea team and they didn't have to get out of second or third gear to take the game away from us."
"They (Chelsea) carry a strong squad and the players who come in are high quality. Off the bench they can bring quality players on just to take the game away from you. It was always a big ask to come here but I expect my team to do better than they did. We have to pick ourselves up."

Welcome to Mount Rozier
Our 20 hectare farm is situated on the Schapenberg slopes above Somerset West, neighboring Vegelegen. Mount Rozier can be reached in half an hour from Cape Town international airport. The location with its commanding views, undulating topography, varied soil composition and idyllic micro-climate provides a natural amphitheatre to produce world class single vineyard wines.
Research into the history of the farm led to the selection of Mount Rozier, after Annie Rozier, a local flower merchant who gathered wild flowers on the slopes of Myrtle Grove at the turn of the century and sold them in Cape Town.
Situated on a South West facing slope, the Cabernet Sauvignon single-vineyard stands in splendid isolation and is super ceded only by a more spectacular outlook. It is just over 3 ha and is easily located by a lone oak tree at it's base.
The soils are deep red/ochre colour, known as Oakleaf and Hutton types. Derived from granite, they are highly regarded for stability and water retention properties.
Completing the full complement of micro-climatic influences, the fresh South Easterly wind blowing from Gordon's Bay provides natural cooling during the growing season.

Saline breast implants: Can you nurse?
I had saline breast implant surgery in March of 2000. I'm eight weeks pregnant. Will I be able to breastfeed without hurting my baby?Question:
You can breastfeed with the confidence that your implants will not harm your baby. The most common implant surgeries involve placing the implant behind the breast tissue, either in front of or behind the chest muscle. Scar tissue forms to encapsulate the implant, separating it from the breast tissue. This process takes some time (up to two years) and helps protect the implant. An examination by your doctor can alert you if your implant has ruptured or moved. Even if you are experiencing problems with your implants, it may not affect your ability to breastfeed or the health of your baby.
Establishing breastfeeding may be a bit challenging following surgery. Women with implants tend to be more susceptible to engorgement, which can cause poor milk supply or breast inflammation. This makes regular breast draining more crucial. Frequent feedings starting from birth may help to prevent these problems. Attend a breastfeeding class before childbirth to help you get off to a good start and seek expert assistance quickly if you encounter any difficulty.Answer:

Weird stuff
Exactly one week left now until I start moving.
I was going through one of my closets and found this:
It's funny the stuff game companies send out to promote their games. It's not always just a review copy of the game. Sometimes it's over-the-top and useless (albeit kinda cool) junk like this. This die cast Le Mans came from Atari a couple of years ago, and it's not little either. The box it's in is about the size of a shoebox. Most of the time I give this stuff away to friends or whatever. Like the Viva Pinata review kit, which came in a little wooden crate with all the press materials and an actual pinata.
Makes you wonder if they think it will get them a better review, or if they just do it because its fun and nifty.
Hehe cool, Gotta say I love the regular postings now!
shame that the game was poor
Nice car. Wish I was an official game reviewer.
Let me correct myself, I wasn't saying you were an official game reviewer, I mean other people.
I'm sure I could take that of your hands
They generally send this stuff out because its marketing. It makes you pay attention to the game.
Hey there .. nice car. I'm jealous. I did a load of work on the FMV for that game and we never even got a complimentary copy!
If you find it useless, give it away to me! That's a nice car! Haha
Reminds me of the Le Mans I used to have it was a beast =D although it was an ugly white color
Nice car : D im building the real version right now actually haha

Electrical Burns
Electrical burns occur when a person is directly exposed to an electrical current. Although some electrical burns look minor on the skin, they can cause extensive internal damage, especially to the heart, muscles, or brain. This is a potentially serious condition that requires care from a doctor.
|Classification of Skin Burns
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Electrical burns result from accidental contact with exposed parts of electrical appliances or wiring, such as:
- Children biting on electrical cords
- Poking utensils or other metal objects into electrical outlets or appliances, like a plugged-in toaster
- Failing to shut the power supply before making home repairs or installation
- Dropping a plugged-in appliance into water
- Occupational accidents due to, for example, electric arcs from high-voltage power lines. (Electric arcs occur when a burst of electricity jumps from one electrical conductor to another, such as flashes of electricity from the wheels of an electrically powered train or where a trolley car connects to an overhead power line.)
- Lightening strikes
Risk Factors
Any exposure to an electrical current is a risk factor for electrical burns.
Electrical burns may cause:
- Visible burns on the skin
- Muscle contraction or pain
- Numbness or tingling
- Weakness
- Bone fractures
- Headache
- Feeling disoriented
- Low blood pressure
- Seizures
- Heart arrhythmias
Electricity can also cause cardiac arrest , respiratory failure, and/or unconsciousness.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and do a physical exam.
Like other burns, electrical burns have 3 degrees of severity, each with distinctive symptoms:
- First-degree burns—Injury is only to the outer layer of skin. They are red and painful, and may cause some swelling. The skin turns white when touched.
- Second-degree burns—These burns are deeper and more severe. They cause blisters and the skin is very red or splotchy. There may be more significant swelling.
- Third-degree burns—These cause damage to all layers of the skin down to the tissue underneath. The burned skin looks white or charred. These burns may cause little or no pain because the nerves in the skin are destroyed.
It may be more difficult to diagnosis damage under the skin caused by electricity. Tests may include:
- Electrocardiogram (EKG)—to detect rhythm disturbances of the heart
- Urine or blood tests—to check for severe damage to muscles
Electrical burns require an immediate call to emergency medical services. If possible, shut off the electrical current from its source (such as unplugging a cord or turning off the circuit breaker). Often, simply turning off the appliance itself will not stop the flow of electricity.
If the current can't be turned off, use a nonconducting object, like a wooden broom, chair, rug, or rubber doormat to push the victim away from the source of the current. Don't use a wet or metal object. If possible, stand on something dry and non-conducting, such as a mat or folded newspapers.
Do not attempt to rescue a victim near active high-voltage lines.
Once the victim is free from the source of electricity, check airway, breathing, and pulse and, if needed, start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) efforts. The victim is covered with a blanket to maintain body heat and feet are raised above the head.
Ice, butter, or ointments, should not be applied.
Anyone with an electrical burn should be taken to the hospital for further evaluation. Treatment will depend on the severity of the burn and any other associated complications.
To help reduce your chances of an electric burn, take the following steps:
- Use child safety plugs in all outlets.
- Keep electrical cords out of children's reach.
- Avoid electrical hazards by following manufacturer's safety instructions when using electrical appliances. Always turn off circuit breakers before making repairs to wiring.
- Avoid using electrical appliances while showering or wet.
- Never touch electrical appliances while touching faucets or cold water pipes.
- Avoid being out in lightening storms.

To assist trainers in complying with the Rules of Racing, the GBGB
is pleased to offer all licensed trainers the option of an elective test
for a number of named substances. GBGB has negotiated with its
appointed laboratory, LGC Ltd, to ensure the elective test is as
affordable as possible and available to trainers at a price below that
which has been previously offered.
In the recent past, a number of greyhounds have tested positive for substances that, whilst prohibited, can remain in a greyhound's system for some time. In some cases it has been claimed that the substance had been administered to the greyhound before entering the trainer's kennel. Whilst the GBGB Disciplinary Committee has often been sympathetic to those circumstances, it must be recognised that the Rules of Racing impose strict liability and trainers are responsible for ensuring that all greyhounds in their care are free from prohibited substances prior to being entered or participating in a trial or race.
The GBGB is pleased to offer all licensed trainers the option of an elective test for the following named substances: Boldenone Fluoxymesterone Nandrolone (e.g. Laurabolin) Trenbolone Methyltestosterone (e.g. Orandrone) Stanozolol (e.g. Winstrol) Norgesterol Ethisterone Ethylestrenol (e.g. Nandoral) Progesterone (male greyhounds only) Methylprednisolone (an anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid)The
results and cost of the Elective Test relate only to a targeted steroid
screening analysis for the above named steroids and apply only to the
single sample received. If there are other substances present these
will NOT be reported.The cost of a test will be £75 plus VAT, to
include a sample kit that will be provided by GBGB to the trainer and

Generalized Anxiety Disorder Symptoms
Learn About Generalized Anxiety Disorder Symptoms
General anxiety disorder symptoms start manifesting when you stress and worry too much over different events, problems and activities in your life. Although feeling overwhelmed from time to time and experiencing anxiety symptoms when something bad happens is perfectly normal, however, feeling excessively scared when you have no real reason to worry may be a sign that you suffer from generalized anxiety disorder symptoms.
The excessive feeling that something terrible is going to happen is persistent and debilitating, so it's not hard to understand just how difficult dealing with everyday tasks is for a person affected by this condition. GAD and its manifestations are intrusive and extremely difficult to control consciously, as people suffering from generalized anxiety disorder expect the worst from their work projects, relationships and financial statuses.
But the toughest aspect of this ailment is that the constant state of fear and dread interferes with daily life and events, leading to unrealistic worries that alter the normal functioning of the human body and negatively impact on the social behavior of the sufferer.
When a patient experiencing general anxiety disorder symptoms has to deal with more or less challenging and stressful situations, they have a very tough time trying to control the ailment's manifestations so instead of focusing on thir real problems and tasks they only concentrates on their mental and physical reactions.
Still, it's important to understand that Generalized Anxiety Disorder manifests differently and not everyone affected by this condition experiences the same symptoms. The manifestations of this illness are strongly related with certain triggers and they're generally classified into behavioral, emotional and physical reactions.
Behavioral Generalized Anxiety Disorder Symptoms
Generalized anxiety disorder symptoms in this category include:
- The inability to relax, accentuated by stress and fatigue
- The tendency of putting things off, giving up and avoiding projects and situations that make the sufferers anxious
- Difficulties in concentrating and seeing things clearly
- Loss of sex drive
- Frequent episodes of depression that lead to social isolation
Environmental factors, stress and possibly genetics play a very important role in the occurrence of these signs which can be present in adults and kids alike and tend to affect women more often than men.
Physical Generalized Anxiety Disorder Symptoms
The most significant general anxiety disorder symptoms included in this second category are:
- Restlessness and increased irritability
- Fatigue and sleep problems including insomnia
- Headaches caused by the persistent fear and overwhelming feeling that something bad is going to happen
- Digestive problems – stomach aches, diarrhea, appetite disorders
- Muscle aches, tension and uncontrolled shakiness
- Nausea and excessive sweating
Although people dealing with generalized anxiety disorder symptoms usually realize their anxiety crisis and worries are more intense than the problem or situation warrants, they hardly manage to control their physical reactions and the severity of these manifestations. There are cases in which people affected by GAD experience intense trembling, hot flashes, breathing difficulties, accelerated heartbeats and other unpleasant physical symptoms that are exhausting and ultimately drain their mental and physical energy.
Emotional General Anxiety Disorder Symptoms
Although the physical and behavioral manifestations of this ailment are extremely disturbing, the dominant characteristics of Generalized Anxiety Disorder are the constant fear and worries running through the sufferer's mind uncontrollably. The patient feels hopeless and can do nothing to stop the negative thoughts from occurring therefore they tend to blame themselves for any unfortunate event happening in their life.
At the same time, persons dealing with general anxiety disorder symptoms in this last category tend to be excessively critical of themselves and unable to tolerate uncertainty. Other emotional manifestations include:
- The fear of failure and mistakes
- Intrusive thoughts about situations that trigger anxiety attacks
- A strong and persistent feeling of dread
- Lack of self-confidence and the need for frequent approval
These signs and feelings last for more than 6 months and they gradually worsen, from childhood or adolescence to adulthood. Still, the good news is that generalized anxiety disorder symptoms respond well to treatment and most of the time behavioral therapy and alternative remedies are enough for overcoming the overwhelming worries and feeling of fear.

Devastation of KatarrTalk4
this wiki
|Devastation of Katarr
- "My people never saw his face when he struck—but they heard his voice. When my lord spoke, every living thing on Katarr died. The destruction of Katarr echoed through the Force, the screaming of countless lives."
- ―Visas Marr
The Devastation of Katarr was an event of the Old Sith Wars, occurring in 3952 BBY, and was the first major event of the First Jedi Purge that took place during that time period. That year, the last known hundred members of the Jedi Order had secretly assembled on the planet Katarr, a colony of the Miraluka species, a race who saw through the Force. However, one of the participants, Master Atris, alerted Darth Nihilus to the fact that the Jedi were secretly meeting on Katarr, with the hope that the combined Jedi would be able to overpower him and ensure the cessation of the mysterious attacks on the Jedi.
Unfortunately for Katarr, Atris's plan backfired; the Jedi were not aware of the true extent of Nihilus`power. Using a unique variation of Force Drain, Nihilus stripped the Force from the Katarr's surface, killing every living being on the planet. Of all its living denizens, sentient, flora and fauna, Nihilus spared only one Miraluka woman, Visas Marr, who was subsequently recruited into the Sith as Nihilus's apprentice.

Homestay Families
'Just a quick note to say thank you very much for filling our en-suite bedroom with back to back students this summer it was very much appreciated. We enjoyed ourselves and made some lovely new friends. They were all a pleasure to have. I hope they all enjoyed their stays as we tried to give them our best attention at all times. Many thanks again.'
Alison , Northbourne
Every year hundreds of our students stay with carefully selected local Homestay hosts and this experience can be both memorable and enriching for both parties. Students benefit from living with native people in a supportive home environment, practising English and learning about everyday life in their chosen country of study. You and your household meanwhile gain friends from all over the World, find out about other cultures, customs, cuisines and receive a competitive monetary reimbursement for your hospitality.
Applications are welcomed from all members of the community not just the traditional 'family' and students are carefully matched to each individual household. When in your home students are expected to abide by your customs and reasonable house rules. Students, under 16, must also respect curfew rules set in place by the school for their own safety and wellbeing.
We are an all year school but the largest number of students do arrive in the Summer and during holiday periods. Families can choose whether to host for just a few weeks or on a long term basis.
'Both our students are simply delightful, they participated in our domestic environment and had conversations with other students over dinner (my idea of opportunity for cultural exchange). Overall, I think they had a great experience living and staying in Bournemouth but a two week stay is too short. I suggest that in order for them to really taste the English way of life is to stay for 2 months or more.
Thanks for placing them both with me.'

Polls shed light on how healthy Oklahoma day cares really are
Updated On: Aug 01 2013 05:59:39 PM CDT
A recent poll sheds light on how day cares in Oklahoma are helping prevent childhood obesity.
The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center says there are few regulations in place regarding health and obesity prevention among day cares.
In Oklahoma, 31-percent of low-income pre-schoolers are overweight, according to the research.
The study shows 76-percent of daycare centers in Oklahoma serve fruit daily, 92-percent do not serve sugary drinks and 71-percent serve vegetables everyday.
Researchers said they would like to see day cares add nutrient rich vegetables to their menu, as well as making sure children are getting more playing time outside.

What are you or have you bought for your 0-3 month old baby?
I am really struggling because our DD will be 3 months at this time. She won't really be able to play with toys.
I am thinking of getting her items to use later. The 2nd dilemma is that we already have many many baby toys from our first DD, so she really doesn't need any new ones.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Do I get her things that are useful- clothes, bibs, etc? Or the baby monitor that we need?
My LO will be four months the day before Christmas. Mommy and Daddy will be buying her a high chair for Xmas morning so she can try cereal and carrots that day. My husband and I have commited to buying her the Holiday Barbie, winter clothes for a trip up north we're taking, and a dated baby ornament. My parent's bought me the Holiday Barbie every year so I thought it would be fun to continue that at least.
Grandma and Grandpa and family, ect will take care of the rest. Wrapping diapers/ wipes/ hand-me-downs is a great idea. You'll need it anyway. Besides, what's a better picture than baby is a holiday outfit next to a huge gift just for them? It's wrapped, no one has to know it's a jumbo pack of Pampers.
Great ideas! Thanks everyone.
It is so true that they will not remember, but how sad it would be to look back and not have any pics with gifts. Whether they are diapers, or a small rattle doesn't really matter.
We are also doing a stocking too, but it will probably be things like ornaments, books, etc.
Have a great holiday!

Cortés, Honduras
It's almost impossible to find another cocoa bean origin in the world with as many ties to chocolate's history as Cortés, Honduras. An ancient shipping port on the north coast of Honduras, the region was named for Hernán Cortés, the Spanish explorer who was responsible for bringing the sacred cocoa bean from the Mayan civilization to Spain's royalty. Today, almost 500 years since Cortés leaked one of the history's sweetest secrets, the Cortés region still produces some of the finest beans for exquisite chocolate.
However, Cortés' story with the cocoa bean industry hasn't always been a successful one. Almost 15 years ago, a wave of hurricanes, low demand and widespread sickness plagued the bean business and drove it to the brink of extinction. Not to be defeated, the area's hard-working farmers and their supporters, including Askinosie Chocolate, persevered to bring the industry back to the forefront of the cocoa market.
The Cortés region is situated perfectly for harvesting and exporting cocoa beans. Its warm, humid weather and fertile ground creates the ideal environment for bean growth, and its proximity to open waters makes it easy to ship. Since 2010, we have developed our direct trade relationship with the singular farm, Finca Patricia, and the farm manager, Fermin Arriaga, to directly source the perfect cocoa beans from this region. Arriaga, who has lived with his family on the farm for years and whose image represents our Cortés bar, works tirelessly with a tight-knit group of local farmers to produce top-quality beans. We regularly visit Finca Patricia to examine the beans and profit share with Cortés' diligent farmers. This origin is one of our best examples of the success and benefits of a direct trade relationship. With each new crop, the Cortés farmers consistently improve on their existing excellence by implementing our collaborative ideas and techniques for even better post-harvest practices.
Beans from Cortés are a Trinitario varietal, a scarce and high-quality bean used only to make fine chocolate. The farmers' careful attention during the harvesting process helps us draw forth the intriguing flavors of citrus, molasses, sharp stonefruit and woodiness from these distinct beans. These beans are used to craft our critically-acclaimed 70% Cortés, Honduras Dark Chocolate Bar, as well as many other products.

COPD Foundation Launches Online Community
February 10, 2014
As key clinicians in the care of COPD patients, respiratory therapists are being invited to join a new online community established by the COPD Foundation (COPDF) to promote greater understanding of COPD treatment guidelines and give clinicians a place where they can network with one another about best practices.
The Pocket Consultant Guide Community, which launched today, is an offshoot of the Foundation's Pocket Consultant Guide (PCG) card and mobile phone app. Based on the latest COPD guidelines from GOLD, ATS, ERS, ACP, and ACCP, the card and app provide a quick overview of diagnosis and treatment recommendations and are designed to be easy to use for busy clinicians.
Both are limited by their formats, however, and Scott Cerreta, BS, RRT, director of education at the COPDF, says that's where the new community comes into play. "The PCG community brings together a cadre of lung health professionals in a secure social collaboration community," he says. "Respiratory therapists, amongst others, will have the opportunity to learn, share ideas, and pick the brains of top COPD experts and physicians in the world."
Well-recognized thought leaders in COPD treatment and research will lead the discussion, which will begin with these topics:
"The PCG is an indispensable aid for identifying patients for whom spirometry should be performed, how patients should be classified based on spirometry, what additional assessments should be performed, and when and how these diagnostic evaluations should influence therapy," says John W. Walsh, COPDF president and co-founder. He believes the new online community will build on those concepts.
"Our aim is to promote better COPD diagnosis and treatment, and to provide a place where health care providers can help each other identify those who remain undiagnosed, ensure that those who are already diagnosed are correctly diagnosed, and make sure that those with the correct diagnosis are getting the appropriate treatment," he says.
Scott Cerreta urges respiratory therapists to download the PCG card and/or app (available in the iTunes app store), and then log on to the site and request to become a registered user of the community.
"The community is an opportunity for you to learn the latest information about COPD management based on the most current evidence and research," he says. "Come learn from the experts and share your newfound knowledge with your colleagues and organization."

Rossetti lived with Morris and his wife Jane in Kelmscott Manor (depicted outside the window). He used Jane as the subject of many of his paintings. The illustration is based on Rossetti's painting of Jane from 1868 "Jane Morris (The Blue Silk Dress)."
I expanded the composition of the painting so it appears Jane is looking toward Rossetti. The wallpaper on the back wall is an original textile design from Morris and Rossetti's decorative arts firm.

- Brain on Fire I had the enormous honor of illustrating a few small black & white spot illustrations for Susannah Cahalan's New York Times Best Seller, Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness. A profound story that is psychologically, emotionally, and philosophically arresting. In it Susannah recounts her experience with a horrible brain disease which took her sanity, her sense of self, and very nearly her life. It is a disease that was only discovered in 2007, but possibly serves to explain cases of demonic possession throughout history. The fact that she is a dear friend made the task of accompanying her brilliant words all the more daunting, but in the end we came to an illustration approach that complements her vision for the book. 2012 Illustration
