About Glaucoma Surgery
This information is intended for general information only and should not be considered as medical advice on the part of Health-Tourism.com. Any decision on medical treatments, after-care or recovery should be done solely upon proper consultation and advice of a qualified physician.
What are the types of Glaucoma Surgery?
The most common Glaucoma Surgery procedures are:
Filtration surgery (Trabeculectomy)
: A "trapdoor" in the eye is cut to drain fluid into a reservoir and then into the blood vessels surrounding the eye.
Laser trabeculoplasty
: This glaucoma surgery helps drain fluid from the eye by using a laser to make tiny holes in the drainage system. Types of laser trabeculoplasty include argon laser trabeculoplasty and selective laser trabeculoplasty for the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma.
Tube-shunt surgery (Seton glaucoma surgery)
: This procedure uses a silicon tube inside the eye to drain fluid. Tube shunts are used if the glaucoma is not responding to standard procedures.
Laser cyclophotocoagulation (Cycloablation)
: This procedure is used for end-stage glaucoma because there is a chance of losing vision. Laser cyclophotocoagulation destroys the muscles controlling near and far vision.
Iridotomy or Iridectomy
: Laser or conventional surgery is used on an emergency basis for acute closed-angle glaucoma. The surgeon cuts into the iris to make a tiny opening that allows fluid to flow out freely.
What are the chances of success with Glaucoma Surgery?
Glaucoma surgery helps lower the intraocular pressure in the eye but the length of time for which pressure remains low depends on many factors – the surgical technique, the age of the patient, the race of the patient etc. Repeat surgery may be necessary to continue to control the pressure in the eye, or the continued use of medications.
In almost half of people who had a laser trabeculoplasty, eye pressure increases again after five years.
Around half of people who have trabeculectomy filtration surgery still need medication to control glaucoma.
Trabeculectomy filtration surgery is successful in about 70 to 90 percent of cases for at least one year.
Duration of procedure/surgery:
- Trabeculectomy filtration surgery takes about an hour to perform.
- Laser trabeculoplasty takes around 10 to 15 minutes.
Days admitted:
None. Glaucoma surgery is an outpatient procedure with no overnight stay.
Patients commonly need to remain in the doctor's office for eye pressure monitoring, for up to three hours after surgery.
Glaucoma surgery is carried out with a local eye drop anesthesia.
Usually patients can go back to normal activities and work the day after glaucoma surgery.
- Scarring and re-closure of the drainage channels in the eye.
- Infection and leakage from the blister-like bumps created on the eye.
- Risk of developing cataracts.
- Loss of vision.
- Some people experience increased eye pressure for a short period following laser glaucoma surgery, or reduced eye pressure.
After care:
- Take non-aspirin pain relievers to treat any pain or discomfort.
- Keep water out of the treated eye for around a week following glaucoma surgery
- Avoid heavy lifting, bending or straining after glaucoma surgery until the eye pressure stabilizes.
- Take care with contact lenses so as to avoid infection of the eye.

To study the impact of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) on parental quality of life (QoL) at adolescence using the parental–developmental disorders-quality of life scale (Par–DD-QoL).
One hundred and fifty-two mothers of adolescents with ASD completed Par–DD-QoL. This scale assesses the following dimensions: emotional, daily disturbance and global QoL. This cross-sectional study uses a subset of data collected at the final time of a follow-up study (EpiTED cohort).
A polytomic regression identified an increase in aberrant behavior scores as the major independent risk factor for parental QoL. The identified protective factors were the increase in daily living, communication and object cognition scores and a higher number of siblings.
Those results suggest that there is a negative effect of externalizing behaviors and a protective effect of adaptive skills, communication and object cognition on parental QoL. Study limitations and implications are discussed.

We did it! In an amazing display of grassroots power, President Obama responded to our demand that no bank settlement should prevent an investigation into who caused the housing crisis, and announced a new investigative unit that will do just that.
Even better, the new investigative unit will be co-chaired by the state attorney general who stood his ground against any sweetheart deal with the banks: New York's Eric Schneiderman.
This is fantastic news. And you helped make it happen. Let's give the President our appreciation, so he knows he is on firm ground when he stands with the 99%. Use the form below to send a thank you email to the President.

I have been very envolved in searching down my ancestors for 30 years. Finding a new cemetery is very exciting and when I find a new little one I over indulge and tend to photograph the entire site. My pictures and Internments are all individuals that have somehow found their way into my ever growing family tree.
Currently I live in Eastern Iowa along the Mississippi River which is a wonderful starting place for journeys in search of my early ancestors.
I hope you enjoy my pictures and the information I have tried to share

RE: Armina Roach-Goosey
Hello Mark,
Let me get back with you....I think I still have your email address. There is a gentleman who I was "introduced" to on the internet and he is the one who was saying that while walking his property one day, with a neighbor of his (I believe), that he came upon this small graveyard. He was kind enough to take some photos and send them to me. I understood him to say that there were several grave sites, but only one with markings and that was Armine Goosey.
I will go back to my addresses and put you in contact with the gentleman I spoke with. He is much more knowledgeable of the area than I am and hopefully, can help you.

Osten Lundesdatter (Lunsetter)
Thank you so much for taking the time to search out and photograph this headstone for me! Could you actually read the spelling on the stone? My thought is that is actually Osten Lunsetter, or Lundsateren but I was hoping that the stone would help to clarify. I'm finding it hard to see the details. Again, many thanks!

Photo request
Just want to thank you for photographing the marker for Mary (Weld) White in the British Hollow Cemetery. That request has languished in the request file for years, and it was very helpful to establish that she was indeed buried there. I live in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area and would be happy to return the favor one of these days. Thanks again!

Thank goodness for home video! (Do we still call it that?) When a unique artistic vision like Sucker Punch comes out, it's difficult to know whether I'll enjoy it (still my favorite criteria for evaluating movies) or be embarrassed to be seen watching it. With such rapid releases on disc as we have now, I'm able to sample it in my home, on my own time, while I still remember what other people said about it, good and bad.
Sucker Punch is an extremely stylized visual metaphor. The back of the case calls it an "epic action fantasy" in which "Babydoll (Emily Browning), locked away against her will, must band together with four fellow prisoners and use imagination and dreams to escape her dark reality." In trying to describe it to KC, I thought (based on impressions formed from other reviews and ads) it was about institutionalized young women finding release through role-playing. Or, depending on your interpretation, it's a clumsy statement about using women as visual fantasies. That, in fact, is what Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish) stops the movie to tell us (in the form of Dr. Gorski (Carla Gugino)) 13 minutes in. The problem is, if you lean that way, that the film itself is an example of what it presumably is decrying: it puts plenty of fetishes on-screen and frequently threatens rape against females.
If you're not into the eye candy, the movie will seem overwrought and overblown, and it's questionable how empowering a female fantasy it is as the vision of Zack Snyder. Like his previous movie, Watchmen, the soundtrack is heavy-handed and intrusive, as though he's making a series of music videos strung together to promote a video game, with the most obvious choices possible. There are muddled messages about freedom and escapism, but the fact remains that the girls can't do anything without Scott Glenn telling them what to do.
Babydoll, about to be lobotomized, imagines herself into a cabaret brothel where interchangeable young women — dressed in short schoolgirl skirts or spaghetti strap push-up bustiers or other relics from a Fosse show, plus ridiculously profuse amounts of eye makeup — practice dance routines for men to watch. The girls are forced to look like they're happy cuddling up to old, fat, disgusting men in order to achieve their own plans. (Look, it's commentary on Hollywood! In a big-budget wannabe blockbuster!)
Visually, it's dark, shadowy, and grimy, to the point of being difficult at times to tell what's going on. (The better to hide the computer-generation of much of it, I suppose.) Our supposed lead character doesn't even speak until 23 minutes in, when she magically visits Glenn as a sensei to teach her freedom, which begins the first action sequence ripped from other sources. When Babydoll and her babe buddies are not battling inside her head, the movie feels like a roadshow burlesque version of Annie (except the girls have stripper names: Amber, Blondie, Sweet Pea). It kept reminding me of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and will likely be as long remembered.
Sucker Punch is definitely a movie lover's movie, in that it's full of exaggerated things you have to watch to gain anything from them, the pinnacle of special effects for their own sake. The story is unclear and confusing, too in love with its own poorly thought out symbolism to communicate or touch the viewer on anything but a superficial level. I had a hard time believing that a stereotypical abused orphan would envision escape as action video game sequences, but the makers and fans of these kinds of films don't need meaning, just violent scenarios with techno soundtracks.
I can see why this was such a critical and commercial (made $36 million in the U.S. on a budget of 82) failure. It's of appeal only to a limited subset of the young male demographic, those already familiar with this style of visual language and who want to be flattered into thinking they're seeing the movie for more than just staring at hot girls in short skirts waving weapons.
If you don't care about spoilers, here's a hilarious review of the film from when it was in theaters. There's a whole 'nother discussion to be had about the "psych! screwed you up!" ending switch, but I try to avoid spoilers. My co-watcher's final thought was "I hate this movie for ruining all that music for me by associating it with these horrible visuals." He felt it was insulting to the original artists to have their work reused in this way.
The Blu-ray Combo Pack comes with two Blu-ray discs — one of the theatrical release, one of the extended cut — and a third disc with both the DVD and digital copy versions. You can also buy a Blu-ray only version (no DVD or digital copy) or a single DVD.
The special features are minimal. There are cartoon shorts (with limited animation, total of 11 1/2 minutes) for each of the four fantasy worlds, providing background for the different settings. The only featurette is the less-than-three-minute "Behind the Soundtrack".
The showpiece second Blu-ray disc adds 17 minutes or so to the released cut (which bumps the movie from a PG-13 to an R rating). One significant change is the early reinsertion of the "Love Is the Drug" musical number previously only seen over the end credits. This version also allows for "Maximum Movie Mode", a picture-in-picture commentary and director tour with actor comments, background footage, optional galleries, design images and explanation, and so on. While watching it, I learned that the little blonde girl with pigtails named "Babydoll" represented innocence. In spite of my being snarky, if you liked the movie, you'll definitely want to see this enhanced track.
The studio has also set up a video creator site, where you can remix selected clips from the film with effects and transitions. On the one hand, it's kind of impressive just what can be done with technology as a toy; on the other, it's the same kind of faux creativity, copying what's already been done, that underlies the movie itself. (The studio provided a review copy.)

Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems Point Four™ Micro Bubble Diffuser (MBD), 48" x 2 3/8" Diffuser Area
The original ... since 1988
These aquaculture-duty diffusers are among the most efficient diffusers available, allowing you to increase yield while controlling the cost of expensive gases. Made from premium materials and subject to rigorous testing, MBD diffusers provide the kind of performance and reliability our reputation is built on.
Point Four diffusers use a specially developed, ultra fine pore ceramic plate that produces a cloud of extremely fine bubbles of approximately 100–500 microns; far superior to airstones, porous hose or membrane type designs. The flat plate design ensures uniform bubbles across the entire surface and minimizes bubble coalescence to achieve an absorption rate in excess of 80%, depending on depth and flowrate. Bubbling Pressure is 25 to 35 psi. (1.7 to 2.4 bar).
• One of the most efficient diffusers available.
• Robust construction—ceramic plates set in a rigid aluminum base with solid brass connection fittings.
• Easy to install and use—trouble-free operation.
• Flexible, modular design lets you easily add or subtract diffusers as your needs change.
Note: Diffusers are also known as airstones.

During a television timeout in Jacksonville, the EverBank Field loudspeakers belted out LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem," and Moore, taking a step backward out of the huddle on the field, broke into his own version of the dance-craze shuffle associated with the song.
"It's called, 'the Shuffle.' I don't know, it's like a techno dance, and I was feeling it, so I did it," Moore said, laughing. "It was specific for that song, but any song that's kind of up-tempo, you can do it."
The shuffle, which passed 230 million YouTube hits Thursday afternoon, bears more than a passing resemblance to Moore's touchdown jig, but he rejected the comparison.
"No, I try to change it up when I score," he said. "I haven't gotten a chance to really do too much dancing this year, but I've got some stuff up my sleeves."

Getting Ready for New gTLDs. Getting Ready: Understanding the Applicant Guidebook Questionnaire Applying for a new generic top-level domain (gTLD) involves filling out a form that poses 50 questions.
The questions are substantive, involved, and perhaps not always self-explanatory. This recording of a 75-minute session from the ICANN meeting in Singapore, June 2011, puts experts to work explaining for you the intent behind the questions, what constitutes a "good" answer, and which responses weigh the heaviest. Interview with ICANN Chief Security Officer Jeff Moss. In this video interview, ICANN's Vice President and Chief Security Officer Jeff Moss describes the glitch that led ICANN to take offline the application system for new generic top-level domains (gTLDs).
Moss describes the glitch, and elaborates on how ICANN technical teams are working to test a fix for the issue that led to a temporary suspension of the application system on 12 April. The CSO answered a variety of questions from Brad White, ICANN's Director of Global Media Affairs, ranging from the discovery of the issue to why ICANN decided to pull the application system offline. Overview. Overview: Get Ready for the Next Big .Thing If you are wondering whether your organization should apply to operate a new generic top-level domain (gTLD), but you're not quite sure what that implies, this video offers a starting point.
In a handful of minutes, it describes what new gTLDs are (and are not), what it means to apply for one, and some initial reasons why your organization would – and would not – seek to apply. Intended for potential applicants. Icann admits gTLD software flaw may have revealed rival bid details. The internet naming company Icann has admitted that rival bidders for highly valuable new internet domains could have seen each others' secret bids because of flaws in its registration software.
The company took the system offline on Thursday afternoon, just hours before applications were due to close after being open for more than three months. In a dramatic announcement at about 0200 on Friday morning UK time, Akram Atallah, chief operating office at the organisation which is in overall charge of the allocation of new IP addresses and "top-level domains", said that a glitch "has allowed a limited number of users to view some other users' file names and user names in certain scenarios.
" He said that "Out of an abundance of caution, we took the system offline to protect applicant data. Domain names: Internet takes big step toward end of .com era. Thursday marks the opening bell for anyone who wants a website ending with something other than .com, .edu, or one of the other 20 familiar Internet suffixes.
Skip to next paragraph Subscribe Today to the Monitor Click Here for your FREE 30 DAYS ofThe Christian Science MonitorWeekly Digital Edition The International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the nonprofit in charge of online registry, plans to throw open the doors to hundreds, potentially thousands of new suffixes, called top-level domain names. In this first expansion round, which runs through April 12, ICANN will process some 500 applications to register new names. New era for Web site names begins Thursday.
Network World - A new era of Web site naming begins Thursday, when Internet policymakers start accepting applications for hundreds - perhaps thousands - of new domain name extensions such as .hotel and .paris.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will launch its program for new generic Top-Level Domains on Jan. 12, with applications due three months later on April 12. Experts say the new gTLD program represents the biggest change to the Internet's naming system since 1998, when ICANN itself was formed. RELATED: 5 major changes facing the Internet in 2012. ICANN Forced to Delay Web-Domain Deadline - Digits. ICANN New TLD application deadline extended to April 20. Technical problems lead to deadline extension.
ICANN has extended the deadline for apply for a new top level domain until April 20. The deadline was supposed to be today. The extension was made due to technical problems with the TLD Application System (TAS). Users started reporting problems last night, and ICANN identified "technical issue" with the software. It's entirely possible that the technical issue was too many people trying to use the system at once. TAS glitch will call in to question digital archery for new TLDs.
Will applicants trust results of digital archery?
ICANN's announcement that some sensitive new TLD applicant information could have been accessed is sure to cause more doubt about its planned "digital archery" scheme. The so-called digital archery plan will be used to help determine how top level domain applicants are slotted in queue. Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.

NF-kappa B is a transcription factor that can protect from or contribute to apoptosis. Here we report identification of HSCO that binds to NF-kappa B and inhibits apoptosis. HSCO mRNA was overexpressed in 20 of 30 hepatocellular carcinomas analyzed. Overexpression of HSCO inhibited caspase 9 activation and apoptosis induced by DNA damaging agents, while it augmented apoptosis induced by TNFalpha. Like I kappa B alpha, HSCO inhibited NF-kappa B activity and abrogated p53-induced apoptosis. However, the underlying mechanism was different. HSCO is a nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling protein, bound to RelA NF-kappa B, and HSCO sequestered it in the cytoplasm by accelerating its export from the nucleus. These results suggest that overexpression of HSCO suppresses p53-induced apoptosis by preventing nuclear localization of NF-kappa B during signaling and thus contributes to hepatocarcinogenesis.

Dec 11, 2011 – We've noticed a sort of trend while providing news coverage on these applications that Google is offering for $0.10/ea on the Android Market each day. They're mostly from the same developers, ie. Zynga, KittehFace Software, etc. While this provides no significant relevance to most Android users, this may be of some interest to hardcore Android followers and Android developers as well.

I think that this scoop relates to our readings this week because it talks about The ability to obtain, assimilate and apply the right knowledge effectively, will become a key skill in the next century. Our ability will no longer be judged solely by qualifications gained in the past, but will also be assessed by our capacity to learn and adapt in the future.

Point taken - in fact I thought that the given was that the flipped classroom style encouraged more active learning in class - where the teacher could mentor and where they were learning with their collaborators. What is lacking for me in this article is retention level and what they are learning while they are learning. Are they just learning the skills and facts or are they also learning how collaborate with other using the facts. Did they just test once for these 'learning outcomes' mentioned or will retention be longterm. I guess I need to read the study! |

Your future
Ok this is what happens when you keep a terrarium for about ten years and keep adding things or things keep growing at a ridiculous pace...AND you don't really try to make it "pretty".
Chock Full O' Plants!
Not that you can tell but there are 4 types of Nepenthes, Saliginella moss all over, creeping fig all over, Cryptanthus to the left, Masdie floribunda to the right, tillandsia ionantha and t. NOID, t. cyanea, Ludisia orchid, spanish moss, cobra lily, bromeliads, and who knows what else!??!
Becoming overgrown seems to be one of the most serious problems with terrarium keeping .doesn't it?? I've been giving that a lot of thought and I really haven't come up with any solutions.No matter how big it is this will still happen.I think the best answer is to have greater depth on a vertucal plane sort of in terraces so that each plant could be viewed and allowed to develop within limits. Very careful selection of plants and compatible growth habits.
Personally I like the "overcrowded " look though there's not much point in having a bunch of plants that can't be seen or the space is so limited it can't develop properly.
I love the look of the Dutch vivariums but note that this is accomplished with large size and mostly vertical planes. They need to be viewed looking into rather than down on IMO.Of course, this means more powerful lights and pumps and getting to the bottom would be a chore and of course the problem of shadowing.
So far I'm going with a lot of "clipping" but hate the resultant scalped look until they recover and then it's time to do it again. lol.
My goal is to build one that will look ideal all the time lol.For months if not years.Do you think that's possible?? lol
Gary: I don't think it's possible to have a terrarium not look overgrown, and yet not sparse. I do find that wandering jew is a pretty good plant, even though it is a fast grower. Once a week, or even every two weeks, I just clip off a couple growths that have gotten too long, and that's it. The remaining plant still looks great, not all hacked up. Fittonia, however, is a problem. It looks like total cr@p after being seriously cut back, because of the nature of its growth habit. Mine is FINALLY starting to look decent again after I cut it back over a month ago. Takes a while for all the new leaves to grow and look fuller again! I've had to cut it back three times since I started my terr in December last year.
I, too, prefer the 'neater' look, though I don't mind at all if moss overruns everything. And I would include selaginella in the 'moss' catagory, even if it's not a true moss. I like those broms though, MrB, and what kind of nep is that with the speckley pitchers? Your ficus doesn't seem to be variegated, is it? I thought that all pumila was variegated. And how does that cobra lily survive the heat? You appear to have some serious lighting on your tank. And what size is that tank again? is it a 30?
Yes the tank is a 30 or maybe 29 gallon. I can't remember the name of the Nep. but its a commonly available one. This tank has evolved a lot over the years. It started filled with bromeliads and tillandsias and mosses. Then the broms got too big for it so they got moved to the brom. tree. The tank then kept mostly carnivores (VFT, sundews, nep, etc.) and now its mostly for Neps I guess. It definitely looks a lot better from the top and...LadybugGuam...you shoulda seen it before I trimmed the ficus!!
The lights are nothing special...its just a product of the camera making them look really intense. Just regular cool and warm white bulbs. The ficus is not variagated though it does occasionally make some offshoots that are albino/alba...pure white. Very striking so when I trim it I don't cut those. Guess that's just a natural mutation.
As for keeping one from looking overcrowded....tough. I think avoiding the use of vines would be key for that. And limiting the plant selection of course. I think it would be possible...but not easy...and it would take away some of the fun. I like trimming stuff and discovering what's grown underneath and observing how things grow and react to conditions. For instance, my 'fireball' started out in the middle and made pups off to the left. Eventually I moved them to the right side and the original 'mother' plant had long since 'died' and was forgotten. The pumilla covered up the area in a thick mat. Well once I did a major trim job on it and discovered that the mother plant had resprouted under there and was totally green due to being covered by the ficus. I figure it must have been struggling under that mat for years...never getting water and getting minimal light. Since finding it I've kept the ficus trimmed away and given it some water and now its turning red and getting more robust! fun stuff.
I definitely feel that large size, multiple levels, and lots of depth are the way to go.
Oh yea...the cobra lily...it died last year and lo' and behold...sprouted again! I have no idea how it lives through the heat or even if it will continue to do so. It's burried in the mossy mess between the speckled Nep. and the brown masdie pot on the right.
I think that covers everything....just like ficus pumilla!!
I kept the pumilla out of the terreium I leaned my lesson when I made an above ground pool.It's made of stacked 4x4's and I had visions of the pumilla covering the exposed wood.LOL. No plant will grow on pressure treated wood. Insteas it grew to the top and firmly attached to the vinyl lining.Completely covered the water spouting gargoyle and has climbed all the way to the top of the white bird of paradise. It has also developed the habit of the higher it gets the larger the leaves become. Have noted this in Philos,Nephritis and several other types of tropical vines.The only way to remove it is to pick each little piece off as it roots every half inch or so.Even then the slightest little piece will start to grow epiphyticly. I'm stuck with it now lol
yeah, my parents have pumilo growing on a south wall. It took a long time to work out what it was because it had 15cm diameter leaves growing out a metre or more from the wall. so much for 'pumilio' (dwarf in latin). We eventually snipped it off at the base and painted with glyphosate... 3 times. It's still growing.

Residents of Upton turn out in force at the re-opening of the White Horse being run by the community, with manager, Paul Crisp, front centre, Picture: Denise Bradley
By stephen pullinger
Saturday, August 4, 2012
Villagers packed out their local on Friday night to celebrate its re-opening following a community buy-out.
Since the White Horse in Upton, near Acle was taken over by a community enterprise company two weeks ago, a frantic countdown began to get it ready in time.
Project manager Pat Murch, who has lived in the village with her husband Peter for eight years, said: "Forty volunteers have been working incredibly hard decorating, steam cleaning and making the garden family friendly. We have put a new bench and umbrellas outside to make it welcoming.
"It has been a really marvellous experience. Many of the people who came along did not know each other and now they are really good friends. It is already a stronger community and this is only our first day in business."
Mrs Murch, chief executive of the not-for profit organisation East Anglian Complementary Health, said she had been spurred into action when the future of the pub appeared in doubt at the start of the year.
Landlord Ray Norman had been trying to sell up after 40 years because of declining health but, with no buyer in sight, fears were growing the pub might be bulldozed.
She said: "I thought we really ought to do something. I drive past every day and it would have been such a shame to see it boarded up or knocked down for housing."
An appeal was launched after a public meeting and 138 villagers have contributed more than £100,000. About £80,000 has come in grants, including £50,000 from the Prince of Wales' Prince's Countryside Fund (PCF).
Mrs Murch said they were bidding for further grants to realise their plan of turning the Chapel Road pub into a community hub with a shop, learning centre and micro-brewery.
Fellow director Ken Turner said they were lucky to have appointed a manager, Paul Crisp, with extensive experience of the trade. Praising the contribution from the PCF, he said: "If Prince Charles is ever passing this way we would love to present to him the first share certificate."

Support your local pubs or lose them !! What every community needs a good local and a good church..they help keep the villages together. Wishing you a successful venture.

OVERALL SUMMARY: On Global Handwashing Day 15 October 2012, IOM Somalia's Migration Health Division (MHD) launched a series of mass hygiene promotion campaigns in IDP settlements in all three regions of Somalia. Somalia's under five mortality rate is the highest in the world (180/1,000 live births) and water-borne diseases such as Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD) is one of the leading causes of child morbidity in the country.
GAROWE: 200 vulnerable women, men and children from Jowle settlement and Shabelle settlement for internally displaced persons (IDP), thronged the streets of Garowe, Puntland (Somalia) in commemoration of the Global Handwashing Day on 15 October 2012. Children from neighbouring schools also actively participated. The International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Timely Integrated Development Organization (TIDES), the Ministry of Health, the Garowe Municipality Office, the Puntland Water Agency and other partners distributed 1,000 jerrycans, 1,000 bars of soap to the two settlements, and promoted hygiene promotion and health awareness through skits, songs, and poems. ¬

Due to a sad number of losses (it was most likely a management issue on our part with underestimating the amount of food the bees needed this spring) here at Locust Farms near Knightstown, Indiana right off I-70; here are directions to the apiary our waiting list for nucs is full. If you want to be on the list for the waiting list, you are more than welcome to write, because there are sometimes availabilities due to unforseen circumstances. It has been our goal to raise chemical-free bees that have queen stock that are overwintered here in Indiana, but the learning curve is sometimes steep for us. The silver lining is that the beehives that are strong are survivors and will hopefully make our breeding stock better to overwinter and survive without treatments. Thank you and good luck with your bees!
We have a few nucs that have proven 2012 queens, these nucs may be ready before the 2013 nucs which will have new queens mated and laying in the nuc (these queens have never been caged) that we will create this spring when we make splits from our strongest hives.
If you would like to be on the waiting list, please email us at: email@example.com and we will contact you in the order of the list when the bees are ready, please include your name and phone number so we can also call you if necessary. Please email with any questions you may have as well.
Of course, with any livestock, weather and temperature will affect when the nucs are ready and the time ours are ready may vary between us and other farms and apiaries. We have a limited supply to offer.
If you are a beginning beekeeper, please see this beginning beekeeper page and resource from Randy Oliver, a great beekeeper out in Northern California. He has been selling nucs for a long time and I like his resources and articles on his very helpful website http://scientificbeekeeping.com/. Just like Randy says, hands on experience is really the best teacher, so you are always invited to come out when we are going through our hives so you can go through the hive too.
Also, when you come out to the apiary to pick up your bees, we will go through the nuc together, looking at and choosing a good brood pattern of eggs, capped brood and we will locate the queen. If you are satisfied with the frames and the bees we will shake extra bees into the nuc box and get it closed up for you to take home.
All nucs are on deep frames.
The price for our 2013 nucs is $115 which includes:
- A proven laying queen that we will find and look at – she is not marked, if you want her marked at that time, we will do that at that time.
- 5 pulled out deep frames (mostly beeswax, but a few Perco plastic may be in our splits.)
- 2 frames of capped brood
- A frame with honey for their food for transport
- 2 frames of eggs and nurse bees
- We will also shake some bees into your nuc box before closing in order to have plenty of foragers when you get them home and settled in.
The nuc box that we have to offer for sale is a cardboard box we bought from Mel Disselkeon http://www.mdasplitter.com/nuc_boxes.php , you can buy that from us if you don't want to bring your own nuc box. Those boxes cost us $6.00/ piece when shipping charges were figured in. So, that will be added to the $115 if you prefer to use that nuc box. Those boxes can last a long time if they aren't kept in the elements.
When coming to pick up your nuc, please bring:
Check or Cash for the bees.
A bee helmet and smoker (can be important on the way home too, just in case).
Bring your own nuc box ready to go, if you have one.

Any suggestions for me?????
It happened last night so I guess I am not too late to do something!

Lincolnshire farmed shallots – one of the county's little known gems
Often thought of as a "little onion" and only purchased by just over 13% of the UKs households , shallots are currently enjoyed by a relatively small number of people. Read more about this food gem here...
Often thought of as a little onion and only purchased by just over 13% of the UKs households (as opposed to onions which are bought by over 85%!), shallots are currently enjoyed by a relatively small number of people. Among those are professional chefs and passionate home cooks and, for them, the store cupboard would not be complete without them.
The Oldershaws, a Lincolnshire-based family, grow shallots on their farm just outside of Spalding. Oldershaws is a family business in the true sense of the word. Founded in 1946 by the late Gilbert Oldershaw MBE the farm is now run by his son Robert and grandson Robert Jnr.
The traditional round shallots, which are grown by the Oldershaws, have a uniquely delicate, sweet, piquant flavour, quite different from that of an onion, and benefit from the areas fantastically fertile soil and perfect climate.
And producing shallots certainly keeps the Oldershaws busy as they have quite an intricate growing process. The growing year starts in February as soon as the soil (hopefully!) starts to warm up. And as a specialist crop, they require a great deal of care from preparing the beds to sowing the seeds to harvesting and storing the bulbs.
Supermarkets demand the best quality and a uniform shape so, from the start, it is important for the Oldershaws to make sure that the number of shallot plants in a field is just right - too many plants and the shallots will be too small, too few plants and the shallots will be too big. But once theyre grown, shallots have fantastic storing qualities so crops grown in areas such as Lincolnshire can be eaten almost all year round.
Shallots are a fantastic addition to a meal and can really lift the dish. My favourite way to have them is to roast them with the skin in a little oil as an accompaniment to hot or cold meats, or to pickle them in vinegar with a couple of bird eye chilli and some pickling spice, says Robert Oldershaw Jnr.
Watch this short video for more ideas on the many ways you can use shallots: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K0fAHlienc

Are Big Sales Incentives on New Cars Going Away?
September 16th, 2014This year in auto sales, the average discount on a new car purchase has reached $2,702, or around 8.4% of the average transaction price. Couple that with record levels of available 0% financing and you have what seems like the most advantageous buyer's market in years. But not so fast, say industry analysts, as automakers won't likely be able to keep incentives and available credit at their current levels for long.

Create a Spacious Home with an Open Floor Plan
By Shira Linden, Direct from the Designers Contributing Writer
Open floor plans feature airy interiors, flowing designs and flexible living spaces that can be used for multiple purposes. Typically, the kitchen, living room, dining room and sometimes the home office transition into each other, resulting in a flowing design and wide-open space.
This theme may continue into the second floor, with upstairs rooms off a hallway having a view of the living room/great room or atrium below.
The kitchen and vaulted great room of this rustic home create a comfortable and practical living space that's great for entertaining and interacting with family while preparing dinners. View additional photographs and the floor plan of this luxury two story mountain home by clicking here.
Lots of pluses
Homes with open floor plans convey an inviting, welcoming ambiance to residents and guests. Now, you can maximize all available space and eliminate wasted space, making small houses and condominiums appear more spacious. You will also ease traffic flow in your home and set up an atmosphere of casual living.
Thanks to fewer walls and obstructions blocking the natural light from sunny windows, you can enjoy lighter, more uplifting surroundings. You may want to incorporate a lot of glass to maximize this effect, to blur the line between indoors and out and visually extend the space. Vaulted ceilings can also add to the sense of brightness, spaciousness and openness.
The beamed great room of this one story ranch house plan with built-in fireplace and entertainment center, gourmet kitchen with its huge center island and multi-windowed eating nook create a spacious gathering area that opens to the wraparound outdoor living porch.
By opening up communal space, there are more opportunities for interaction. Food preparation, eating, lounging, entertainment and children playing all occur within the same undivided space. If you're a parent, you'll love open floor plans because you can prepare meals while continuing to supervise and talk with your children.
By the same token, if you enjoy entertaining, open floor plans make entertaining easier and more fun. Now, you can continue the conversation with your guests while cooking, setting the table or completing the final touches that will make your party or event a success.
Rising in popularity
Few homebuyers want houses with many, small rooms where furniture looks cramped or stuffed in. Since open floor plans are viewed as modern-yet-cozy, homes that are built or remodeled to feature an open floor plan are highly sought-after. These kinds of homes help residents and guests feel more relaxed. Small spaces seem bigger, airier and filled with light.
If you are downsizing, open floor plans offer a lot of advantages, as you can still accommodate a large gathering of family or friends despite reducing your square footage. Visitors can readily mix and mingle between areas. Best of all, you can set up a big table at holiday time to accommodate the same number of guests as larger, more traditional homes.
This two-story house plan features a wide-open living space where the foyer leads into a huge great room, circular dinette, L-shaped kitchen and sitting area. View the floor plan and additional images of this traditional design by clicking here.
Divide the space your way
With an open floor plan you use furniture and light fixtures to divide the space and create functional areas. You can arrange sofas and entertainment units to divvy up the space according to your requirements utilizing architectural elements such as fireplaces, built in bookcases or bay windows as focal points.
A family with young children, for example, could create a play area while a retired couple might prefer a library or hobby center.
A more affordable home
Open floor plans usually cost less than traditional floor plans. Building expenditures will be lower as well, thanks to fewer interior walls and doorways.
With modern, efficient heating and cooling systems, you'll keep energy costs down while creating a very livable home that is comfortable in every season.

Heidi kept her look very conservative with a little twist of sexy at an America's Got Talent after party on August 7 in NYC! She went with a very modern and demure look and we adore it! She chose a white tuxedo jacket with black lapels and black sleeves with jewel embellishments on the upper arms. The jacket had a plunging neckline showing major cleavage and the zipper was asymmetrical and bold! She paired the jacket with black skinnies and sexy black pumps!
Eva Longoria:
Wow — Eva Longoria took our breath away in this dazzling gown! She was the hostess of the Global Gift Gala in Marbella, Spain on August 4 and she literally stole the show in this glamorous gold gown that had a turtle-neck, no sleeves and sheer fabric on either side! She looked absolutely stunning!

Jason Heyward's Thumb Injury Could Linger Until Offseason
At last check, Jason Heyward was second in the National League in votes for the all-star game. Regardless of how the votes turn out, don't expect Heyward to be on the field in Anaheim. That's because he was placed on the disabled list yesterday to rest an injury to his left thumb that he sustained sliding into third base back on May 14th. He is not eligible to come off the DL until July 15 and the game is going to be played on July 13th.
- Thumb injuries as we all know our contagious. Victor Martinez is heading to the DL with one and Chase Utley had to leave yesterday's game wtih one. No word on the severity of Utley's injury, but it took place in the 4th inning on a slide and he did not come out until the 9th.
- Ricky Nolasco is finding his way after struggling since the middle of May. He still hasn't had a start that he's given up fewer than three runs since May 11th, but his WHIP is always the first thing to look for in seeing how well he's pitching. Remember, he was the Marlins best pitcher – not Josh Johnson - after the all-star break last year.
- The Diamondbacks made two errors in the bottom of the 9th spoiling another win for Dan Haren and another save opportunity for Aaron Heilman.
- For the second straight outing, Ubaldo Jimenez gave up a bunch of runs late in his start. Walks were an issue.
- Jason Bay hit one-third of his season's home runs in Puerto Rico yesterday. Mike Stanton has hit one-half of his major league home runs there.
- The Angels wouldn't be a good fit for Adam Dunn or more like Adam Dunn wouldn't be a good fit for the Angels because of the emphasis that Mike Scioscia places on defense.
- Bud Norris gave up a long ball to Ryan Braun in his return to the Astros, but did have 6 strikeouts to only one walk in 6 innings. If the Astros were a better team and Norris could work his way into the 6th and 7th innings more frequently (both aren't likely to happen this year) he would hold similar value to Matt Garza.
- Matt Holliday is 1 for 15 over his last four games. He has hit clean up in all four of those games. He hit .400 while hitting second and slugged .850.
- Mike Gonzalez could be activated before Baltimore's next road trip, but he isn't pitching well in his rehab right now so don't get too excited. Plus the Orioles have to win games for him to have value. USC is more likely to win a bowl game before that happens.
- Carlos Marmol has really started to slide down hill this month. The big issue coming into the season for him was if he could control the strikezone and through May he had a 49 to 15 strikeout to walk rate. This month that's 14 to 10 (including 6 walks in his last 3 innings), and yesterday he gave up the game winning hit to Jose Tabata.
- It's not all bad for the Carlos name. Carlos Beltran played 9 innings for the first time in his rehab and Carlos Quentin homered for the White Sox' only run.
- It's not all bad for the Jair name either. Jair Jurrjens should be activated today because he will start tomorrow. All other Jairs are not safe to own though.
One Response to Jason Heyward's Thumb Injury Could Linger Until Offseason
poker affiliate resource says:
If it wasnt for injury Jason Heyward would have been the run away Rookie Of The Year winner. He still played quite well considering age, and should be a perennial all-star.

Take Me Out to the Cleaners (A Baseball Song)
Posted By DP Opinion On October 27, 2007 @ 1:01 am In Letters | No Comments
I can't go to the Series
I can't get to a game
The Rockies sold tic-kets all over the Net
But fans here in town could do no-thing but fret
So it's boo, boo, boo for the Mon-forts!
The scalpers will get their pay-day …
For it's ONE thousand, TWO thousand, THREE thousand bucks
For a tic-ket on old eBay!
Robert J. Bricmont Jr., Denver

"At first Matthew suggested getting a "Home" boy. But I said "no" flat to that. "They may be all right - I'm not saying they're not - but no London street arabs for me," I said, "Give me a native born at least. There'll be a risk, no matter who we get. But I'll feel easier in my mind and sleep sounder at nights if we get a born Canadian."
Anne of Green Gables, L.M. Montgomery
"The history of the British home children, of the challenges they faced and the difficult obstacles they overcame, is my family's history. It is my history, as it is for the estimated 10% of Canadians who are descended in some way from British home children."
The Hon. Eric Hoskins MPP, Ontario Minister for Health.
"When they arrived overseas, all alone in the world, many of our most vulnerable children endured the harshest of conditions, neglect and abuse…. Those children were robbed of their childhood, the most precious years of their life.…We cannot change history, but I believe that by confronting the failings of the past, we can show we are determined to do all we can to heal the wounds."
The Rt. Hon. Dr. James Gordon Brown, MP, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britian and Northen Ireland.
"For many children, the move to Canada kept the promise of a better life. However, some Home Children suffered in Canada, because of difficult living conditions, work demands, cruel treatment, and perhaps, most of all - the absence of the love of a family."
Jason T. Kenney, PC, MP is Canada's Minister of Employment and Social Development and Minister for Multiculturalism.
