Sophie's Tiny Steps

Please help us raise £35,000 for Tree of Hope to help Sophie Thomlinson receive a selective dorsal rhizotomy operation and help fund post operative physiotherapy and equipment
My name is Sophie and I am 2 years old. I was born premature at 33 weeks and weighed just 3lbs 8oz and I spent most of the first year of my life in hospital.
In July 2013 my mummy and daddy were told that I had a condition called spastic diplegia, a form of cerebral palsy that means I can't stand, walk or run like my friends do.
I have to do special excersises and use a standing frame for 1 hour every day which helps my muscles and joints to get stronger.
My doctor has said there is an operation I can have when I am 4 called a Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) which would help me walk but it may not be available on the NHS so my family and friends are helping me by trying to raise enough money for me to have the operation and change my life forever!
I will also need lots of physiotherapy after the operation and special equipment to help me.
Sophie, aged 2
Should we exceed the target amount (or if we do not raise enough funds, or if they cannot be used for any other reason) the funds raised will go to the general funds of Tree of Hope to assist other sick children.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Updates 4
Given the added expense having the treatment in the USA incur we have decided to increase the target to £75,000 On behalf of Sophie thank you to everyone who has supported us so far, and thanks in advance to everyone who donates going forward. The Thomlinson family xxx
Whilst we respect the decision and have full confidence in Mr Goodden and his team we have decided to approach Dr Parks in St Louis, Missouri for a second opinion as it is his team who pioneered this treatment. Limited to 300 chars per post so another update will follow...
Hi all, We were at Leeds hospital on Monday 12th May to see the neurosurgery team to assess Sophie's current suitability for SDR. We were asked to come back in 12 months time which was bitterly disappointing as you can imagine. Another update will follow shortly...
Due to the overwhelming response and after much deliberation we have decided to increase the target to help fund post op needs such as physiotherapy and equipment not funded by the NHS The kind words and donations have brought tears to our eyes Thank you all so much x

Google 10-Q Reveals Rewards, Risks of Being Google
Google just released its SEC form 10-Q filing. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Google had revenues of $7.535 billion vs. $4.7 billion during the same period a year ago. During the past six months Google has completed 10 acquisitions for $183.6 million or $18 million on average. Revenues for 2007 (so far) are approximately divided as follows: 52 percent U.S., 15 percent U.K. and 33 percent rest of world.
Among the traditional parade of risks and vulnerabilities are the following:
- We compete internationally with local information providers and with U.S. competitors who are currently more successful than we are in various markets, and if we fail to compete effectively in international markets, our business will be harmed.
- Proprietary document formats may limit the effectiveness of our search technology by preventing our technology from accessing the content of documents in such formats, which could limit the effectiveness of our products and services.
- New technologies could block our ads, which would harm our business.
If we fail to detect click fraud or other invalid clicks, we could face additional litigation as well as lose the confidence of our advertisers, which would cause our business to suffer. - Index spammers could harm the integrity of our web search results, which could damage our reputation and cause our users to be dissatisfied with our products and services.
- If we were to lose the services of Eric, Larry, Sergey or other members of our senior management team, we may not be able to execute our business strategy.
- We rely on highly skilled personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.
More individuals are using non-PC devices to access the internet, and versions of our web search technology developed for these devices may not be widely adopted by users of these devices. - Our business depends on continued and unimpeded access to the internet by us and our users. Internet access providers may be able to block, degrade or charge for access to certain of our products and services, which could lead to additional expenses and the loss of users and advertisers.
- More individuals are using non-PC devices to access the internet, and versions of our web search technology developed for these devices may not be widely adopted by users of these devices.
Google's push for open wireless spectrum and WiMax deals is explained to some degree in light of the final two risk factors.

Sure, why do you ask?You seem to be excited about a dead cat bounce of a few cents.Company just reported a loss .13 greater then expected.It's always amazing to me when somebody comes from under their rock when a stock down 28% in three weeks goes up a few cents on a single day.Whatever rows your boat.
What info am I providing? Did I not just provide you and the others with the fact that you are an idiot?
BM... perfect initials for you. Just perfect.
You argue like a 2 year old. grow up!!!
Those are not my initials!! But yours are very fitting B.S. (beef stew)
Those are your initials, you are just too stupid to realize that.
this is good news.it was 14 in 08, we thught it would never go down.

DIY Lush Ocean Salt Scrub
So let's get started!
For this recipe, you'll need:
Coarse Sea Salt (You can also use finer grain salt, but I find that the coarse salt holds truer to Lush's original)
Coconut Milk
Lemon Juice
Witch Hazel or Vodka (I used witch hazel here as I can't legally get my hands on vodka. Lush's version does use vodka however, but it will work either way.)
A mason jar (my favorite, of course)
Start by cutting your avocado open and removing the pit. You'll need about 1 tablespoon. Make sure you use a very ripe avocado or mashing it in the next step will be difficult.
Mash the avocado until it is creamy.
Add a half teaspoon of the coconut milk, a half teaspoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of the witch hazel/vodka.
Mix everything together until the mixture is smooth.
Here's where I diverge a bit. The original recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of sea salt, but I kept adding small amounts of the salt until I was satisfied with the texture. So start out with 2 and continue adding salt until you are satisfied with the texture. Mine ended up being a bit thicker and coarser than what the original called for.
Last but not least, pour the scrub into a mason jar and you are good to go! This scrub is fantastic for your face and hands. It leaves your skin incredibly soft and is great after a long, cold winter. Just scrub in circles over your face and work between your hands. Rinse with warm water.
With your leftovers, you can also make coconut whipped cream!

How long does this keep? Thank you so much for posting this. I love ocean salt but I can't always afford it.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousNovember 24, 2013 at 1:09 PM
I would make this, but I'd leave out the fresh avocado and substitute avocado butter (which is a solid oil like coconut oil, but called "butter) and I'd probably add some lime essential oil. Thanks, nice recipe!
ReplyDelete - AnonymousNovember 24, 2013 at 1:12 PM
And I'd use coconut oil instead of the coconut milk. That way, with the avocado butter and coconut oil it will have a long shelf life and won't need to be refrigerated. Plus, it's going to be very moisturizing. :-)
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJanuary 16, 2014 at 1:40 AM
I made this just as your recipe calls. It is wonderful! In my opinion it is better than the Lush scrub that you would pay $20 for. I like keeping it in the refrigerator because I love the cold scrub on my skin. It is refreshing. I unfortunately have adult acne and this has really helped get rid of my acne as soon as it appears. I scrub my face and allow it to dry like a mask and then use a wet towel to wipe it off. Love, love, love it! Thank you!

Research Abstracts Online
January - December 2011
Main TOC ...... Next Abstract
University of Minnesota Twin Cities
College of Science and Engineering
of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
PI: William W. Gerberich
Nanomechanics of Advanced Materials Structures
The ultimate goal of this project is to develop multiscale computational approaches for tailoring the mechanical behavior of nanomaterials and nanostructures in order to optimize performance and provide reliable lifetime predictions of microelectromechanical systems, nanoelectromechanical systems, photonic electronics, and a multitude of other devices. Because length scales in the nanometer range affect mechanical behavior, it is essential to establish models adequately addressing structure-property relationships and their impact on deformation and fracture in nanostructures. Developed in synergy with the experimental multiscale-scale probing, this modeling is performed on atomistic and continuum levels.

Atmosphere detected around planet orbiting nearby star BY JEFF FOUST SPACEFLIGHT NOW Posted: November 27, 2001 Astronomers announced Tuesday that they have discovered evidence for an atmosphere around an extrasolar planet, the first time an atmosphere around any planet outside our solar system has been detected. Using a novel yet not unprecedented technique, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope said they found traces of the element sodium that could only come from the atmosphere of a gas giant planet orbiting the star HD 209458, 150 light-years from Earth.
To test this, a team of astronomers led by David Charbonneau of Caltech and Tim Brown of National Center for Atmospheric Research observed several transits using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph instrument on Hubble. They then compared the spectra taken during those transits with those taken at other times. They found traces of atomic sodium in the spectra of the transits that could have only come from an atmosphere around the planet. Sodium is not a major component of the atmosphere: astronomers believe it makes up only a few parts per million of the atmosphere. However, sodium acts like a tracer gas that is easy for Hubble's spectrograph to detect. łThe sodium tells us that there really is an atmosphere there,˛ said Charbonneau. Models of gas giant planets, like Jupiter and HD 209458 b, predict that sodium would exist in the atmosphere, but the Hubble data detected only about half the sodium predicted by the model. The difference, said Charbonneau, could be caused by either a high cloud deck that essentially blocks the rest of the atmosphere from view or reaction of sodium with other atmospheric components to form more complex molecules. Additional observations in the coming months and years will be needed to determine which explanation is correct. The discovery was not entirely unexpected. Since its discovery in 1999 astronomers had assumed that HD 209458 b was a gas giant with an extensive atmosphere. With a mass 70 percent that of Jupiter, astronomers had classified it as one of about a dozen łhot Jupiters˛: large exoplanets that orbit very close to their stars. In the case of HD 209458 b, it is less than 7 million kilometers from its star, completing one orbit in just three and a half days. In addition, astronomers had estimated the size of the planet based on previous transit observations by measuring the fraction of light from the star it blocked. Those studies showed that the planet's radius is a third larger than Jupiter's. This combination of mass and radius led astronomers to conclude that the planet had to be a gas giant, a conclusion supported by the Hubble data released Tuesday. Anne Kinney, director of the astronomy and physics division of NASA's office of space sciences called the Hubble conclusions "profound, but not surprising." More important that the discovery of the atmosphere around HD 209458 b is the validation of this technique as a way to study the atmospheres of exoplanets. "This opens up an exciting new phase of extrasolar planet exploration, where we can begin to compare and contrast the atmosphere of planets around other stars," said Charbonneau. Even though Hubble and its instruments predate the era of exoplanet discoveries, the telescope is particularly well-suited for this type of work because it is above the Earth's atmosphere, which makes it difficult to sort out absorption from beyond the atmosphere with absorption by terrestrial elements. "I never thought Hubble would be able to do it," said Bruce Margon, associate director for science at the Space Telescope Science Institute. While this is the first time this technique has been used to probe the atmospheres of exoplanets, it is not the first time that a transit has been used to study planetary atmospheres. The first evidence of an atmosphere around any other planet came from observations of the transit of Venus across the disk of the Sun in the 18th century, when astronomers noticed a shimmering effect caused by light being refracted by the planet's atmosphere. To date HD 209458 b is the only exoplanet for which transits have been observed. However, as exoplanet searches ramp up, astronomers expect to find more. Charbonneau said that, on average, about one in ten hot Jupiters should make transits. Planets farther away from their stars are less likely to make transits since there is less margin for error for a transit to take place. Eventually, astronomers hope to be able to directly observe exoplanets and obtain their spectra, allowing them to study all planets and not just those visible by transits. However, the orbiting observatories capable of perform these observations, such as NASA's Terrestrial Planet Finder and ESA's Darwin, will not be ready until well into the next decade. |

Microsoft Brings 36 New Features To Windows 7 509
from the enormous-changes-at-the-last-minute dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
If so, anyone got a list of countries without an extradition treaty with the U.S.?
Did you not notice the story's "department"?

As for having to buy a Mac - do you think it's possible to develop for windows mobile without having a windows-based PC? I can totally understand Apple's point-of-view here - their time would be much better spent making the tools work, and work well rather than porting them to and testing them on other platforms.
The difference is that a copy of OEM XP is ~$100. With Apple, you have to buy (and use!) an entirely separate machine. I already have a very high-powered development machine; why would I want two?
So the title is misleading and/or confusing.
Welcome! You must be new here!
Goodbye, so long, and thanks for all the Phish.
Fixed that for you.

Fri, April 11, 2014 University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee | I'll screen Goodbye Gauley Mountain: An Ecosexual Love Story Goodbye Gauley Mountain: An Ecosexual Love Story (with Annie Sprinkle). The film's story is told from my perspective as a native West Virginian. Using humor, situated knowledges, dialogical art, and sexuality Annie and I propose romantic/sensual/ecosexual love to create alternative relationships with the Earth, as well as to help alleviate the despair caused by the mass destruction of vast regions of our planet. This film addresses the Appalachian Mountains, which are being wiped out under the patriotic rubric of "national energy security." Creative strategies deployed in Goodbye Gauley Mountain are offered to help queer environmental activism in order to reach different audiences, as well as to counter corporate propaganda that labels anti-mountain top removal (MTR) coal mining activists as "outsiders." "Outsiders" implies that activists are not qualified to protest MTR and do not belong in the coalfields, reinforcing xenophobic stereotypes of hillbillies represented in films such as Deliverance. As both an insider and an outsider living in California my film attempts to counter stereotypes that justify the destruction of the land by building unlikely alliances between queers, hillbillies, and activists. We celebrate love for the Earth and marry the Appalachian Mountains. The film's heretical use of heterosexuality's most sacred institution strikes at core of the kinds of controlling normative beliefs, assumptions, practices, and borders that manifest destiny establishes and enforces to maintain the current economic colonialism practiced in the coalfields of Appalachia. c21uwm.com/anthropocene/ |

Tackling Malaria
Those malaria mosquitoes may have met their match--with researchers at the University of California, Davis.
UC Davis entomology doctoral candidate Ashley Horton, recent winner of the 2010 Arthur J. and Dorothy D. Palm Agricultural Scholarship, focuses her research on how mosquitoes transmit malaria.
Horton studies with major professor Shirley Luckhart, professor in the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology and researches how the immune system of the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, affects the transmission of the Plasmodium parasite, the causative agent of malaria.
Malaria kills more than a million people a year, primarily in Africa.
"Ashley's work that was recently published in Malaria Journal, together with our co-authors and collaborators Dr. Yoosook Lee and Dr. Gregory Lanzaro, is the first to identify mutations in immune signaling genes that exhibit associations with natural infection with Plasmodium falciparum in field-collected Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes in Mali," Luckhart said. "Plasmodium falciparum is the most important human malaria parasite in Africa and this work is necessary as a foundation to assess whether genetic control measures to block transmission of this parasite will be possible in malaria-endemic countries."
The research, titled "Identification of Three Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Anopheles gambiae Immune Signaling Genes that are Associated with Natural Plasmodium falciparum Infection," appears in the June 10, 2010 edition of Malaria Journal.
Horton, who received her bachelor's degree in public health studies at The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, joined the UC Davis Entomology Graduate Program in 2005. In 2008 she received a William Hazeltine Student Research Fellowship, an award in memory of a noted California entomologist.
The Palm scholarship supplements her fellowship support from a National Institutes of Health T32 training grant that is managed by director Lanzaro and associate director Luckhart.
Arthur Palm, an alumnus of UC Davis, received his bachelor's degree in agricultural economics in 1939. He and his wife established the endowed fund to support undergraduate and graduate students.
The Palm family and others who fund scholarships not only support our university students; they support public health issues.
They, too, are tackling malaria.

CCD: Worldwide Malady
Honey bee guru Eric Mussen, Extension apiculturist and a member of the UC Davis Department of Entomology faculty, is quoted in a Dec. 6 article in the Epoch Times about colony collapse disorder (CCD).
CCD is the mysterious phenomenon characterized by adult bees abandoning the hive, leaving behind the queen bee, brood, and food stores.
The gist of the Epoch Times article: The European Commission recently published its concerns about honey bee health.
In a communiqué, the commission sought to clarify the key issues related to bee health and key actions that it intends to take to address them.
"Beekeeping is a widely-developed activity in the European Union (EU), both at professional (keepers with over 150 hives) and hobby level," the communiqué began. "There are around 700,000 beekeepers in the EU out of which around 97% are non-professional accounting for around 67% of EU hives. Honey production is estimated to be close to 200,000 tons. Beekeeping is also associated with the production of other products such as wax, royal jelly, propolis, etc."
Epoch Times reporter Marco 't Hoen subsequently sought out Mussen for information on CCD and honey bee health in the United States. Mussen told him that CCD is a worldwide problem.
Twenty-five percent of beekeepers in the United States have recurring problems with CCD, Mussen said. The colonies range in size from one to 15,000.
Wrote the reporter: "He (Mussen) believes that in the U.S., CCD is caused by an infectious disease, which they have not yet identified. His reasoning is based on the fact that when bees are introduced to replace the dead one, they die as well. But when the hive is cleaned properly the new bees can survive."
Indeed, CCD is linked to multiple causes, including diseases, pests, pesticides, malnutrition and stress. Weakened colonies don't fare well.
The Epoch Times article quoted USDA statistics indicating that bee pollination of crops "is worth $15 billion per year" in the United States. For example, "the almond industry in California alone used about half of the 2.3 million colonies in the country in 2009 for pollination." In the European Union, about 700,000 beekeepers maintain almost 14 million colonies, according to the EC communiqué.
As an aside, U.S. beekeepers are now gearing up for the California almond season, which usually starts around Feb. 1. The state has more than 700,000 acres of almonds and each acre requires two hives for pollination. Since California doesn't have that many bees, bees are trucked here from all over the country.
It's a gold rush of sorts in the Golden State.
California, here we come!
Honey Bee
Eric Mussen
Don't Let the Bedbugs Bite
There's an "alarming resurgence in the population of bedbugs" in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The exact cause is not known, but the CDC says it could be linked to "increased resistance of bed bugs to available pesticides, greater international and domestic travel, lack of knowledge regarding control of bed bugs due to their prolonged absence, and the continuing decline or elimination of effective vector/pest control programs at state and local public health agencies."
The Los Angeles Times warned in a Dec. 4 headline: L. A.'s Slow Trickle of Bedbugs May Turn Into a Flood.
That's a big "bah-humbug" for the holidays.
Senior museum scientist Steve Heydon of the Bohart Museum of Entomology, UC Davis, was quoted as saying:
Heaven Scent
Remember the exciting news article published in November of 2009 in Science Daily about how an orchid species on the Chinese island of Hainan "fools its hornet pollinator by issuing a chemical that honey bees use to send an alarm?"
The research was first published in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication.
"The discovery explains why the hornets, which capture honey bees to serve as food for their larvae, have been observed to literally pounce on the rewardless Dendrobium sinense flowers," the Science Daily author wrote.
Can you imagine? Hornets "detect" one of their favorite foods--honey bees--and they pounce on the flower and come up empty-handed or "empty-mouthed?"
The orchids produce a deceptive chemical, a compound called Z-11-eicosen-1-ol, described as "a rarity even in the insect world."
One of the researchers involved in this study--and hundreds of other insect communication studies--is world-renowned chemical ecologist Wittko Francke (top photo) of the University of Hamburg, Germany.
And now he's coming to the University of California, Davis, to present a seminar.
Francke will speak on "Insect Semiochemicals: Structural Principles and Evolution" at a UC Davis Department of Entomology seminar on Wednesday, Dec. 8 from 12:10 to 1 p.m. in 122 Briggs Hall, off Kleiber Hall Drive. He'll be introduced by host and fellow chemical ecologist Steve Seybold of the USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station, Davis, and an affiliate of the UC Davis Department of Entomology.
"Nearly everyone in the field has collaborated with him at some level; he has been a consummate mentor to younger chemical ecologists and has always been generous with his time, intellect, and chemical skills to everyone in that community," Seybold said. "He is remarkably brilliant in that he sees patterns in the make-up and synthesis of bio-organic compounds that most biologists, and even many chemists, may overlook."
Francke's talk, open to the public, will be webcast live and then archived on the Department of Entomology's website. This is the last in the series of the department's fall seminars.
How 'Eco-Cool' Is This?
Martha Stewart apparently does.
And the folks at the Bohart Museum of Entomology at the University of California, Davis, couldn't be happier.
See, the editors of Martha Stewart Living listed the Bohart insect collection kit as one of the top three gifts for the young naturalist.
How cool is that! Or, how buggy is that!
The Martha Stewart folks wrote on their website: "Here is a handful of gifts for the pint-size wildlife expert. If your child loves being outdoors and inspecting all things creepy-crawly, read on to find the perfect present."
They cautioned: "Just be sure to enforce a strict no-centipedes-indoors rule" before they head out with their "eco-cool contraptions!"
Museum director Lynn Kimsey (top), professor and former interim chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, has long known how fascinating bugs are--and now Martha apparently agrees.
Fact is, the Bohart Museum, located at 1124 Academic Surge on California Drive, is home to more than seven million insect specimens; a live "petting zoo" (think Madagascar hissing cockroaches and walking sticks); and a gift shop.
The gift shop is like an entomological candy shop. There you can buy bug-related posters, note cards, t-shirts, sweatshirts, jewelry, magnets, scorpion-encased lollipops....and yes...insect collection kits.
So if someone is bugging you about a holiday gift, check out the Bohart, either online or in person. To accommodate families who work during the week, the Bohart has scheduled a special weekend opening on Saturday, Dec. 11 from 1 to 4 p.m. The Bohart is traditionally open on weekdays, year around, from 8:30 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday.
We stopped at the Bohart Museum this morning and met a future entomologist who--yes--in his childhood owned an insect collection kit. Joel Hernandez, a UC Davis entomology major and a student assistant at the Bohart, acquired his kit at age 7. What first sparked his interest in entomology? An Animal Planet episode featuring the insects of Madagascar.
Hernandez later joined the Loma Vista 4-H Club, Ventura, and enrolled in an entomology project. His display of insects won "best of division" and "best of class" awards in the Ventura County Fair.
Hernandez now has five display cases of insects, including two cases of butterflies, one case of beetles and miscellaneous insects.
His ambition? To become an entomology professor.
Just think--somewhere out there is another "Joel" who will be getting his very own insect collection kit during the holidays--thanks to Martha.
Martha & Friends may now want to see the UC Davis Department of Entomology's video clips on "How to Make an Insect Collection." Professor James R. Carey taught the class last spring to undergraduates and graduate students. Their work can be viewed online.

Jesus Take The Wheel

Here are some pics of Bobbi Kristina and the King of R&B's other daughter LaPrincia boozing it up and getting all kissy-faced with each other. This seems about 'normal' for the average 15 year-old girl, but with Bobbi Kris' track record and set of parents we hope she is able to maintain all of her habits.
These babies look like they might need some intervention soon. Poor thangs.
Some more under age drinking for you under the hood…
