Have you ever met an unvaccinated child or adult?
I know several quite well. I am always amazed at how bright they are, how healthy they are, and how few chronic diseases they seem to suffer from. It seems to go with the territory that their moms feed them a great, usually organic diet, encourage them to practice some sport or dance type activity, raise them with companion animals, and overall lead a healthy lifestyle, both as individuals and as a family. The parents of these kids are educated and have conducted some pretty thorough research, looking closely at the risks vs. benefits. I am not talking about children who are malnourished or impoverished, as that would be an entirely different discussion. I'm talking about kids from middle class homes and families, whom I know personally. You might also have encountered them, perhaps in your own neighborhood and circle of friends, if their parents dared to tell you their kids' secret. Maybe they were homeschooled and seemed to think a bit outside the box. Maybe the parents are vegan and did not wish to have animal material injected into their children. Maybe they just object to having their kids jabbed with a syringe loaded with suspicious substances or cultured in animal products, see http://vactruth.com/2012/05/25/vaccine-dog-cells-allergy/?utm_source=The+Vaccine+Truth+Newsletter&utm_campaign=74dc3e8387-05_25_2012_dogs&utm_medium=email that have never been thoroughly tested or proven to be safe or effective!
My firsthand evidence with these unvaccinated babies, young children and young adults, some of whom now have babies of their own, is clearly anecdotal. The minute I open the lid to this Pandora's box, everything but the kitchen sink is thrown at me: how wonderful vaccines are, how many lives they save, and how insane it is not to do it, as well as questioning my credentials in having the audacity to suggest questioning this now nearly sacred procedure! The incredible health and high IQs of these kids has got to be just a coincidence, right? Not! In response to these inevitable skeptics, I offer: just how insane is it to push chemically induced 'herd' medicine and a one-size-fits-all medical model at everyone on the planet? It's a good idea to change the subject at that point, as things always get heated and it's a win/lose scenario, one way or another!
I found an interesting timeline that helps us put the subject of vaccination into its proper historical perspective. When we look at it in this way, it seems like such a wonderful scientific advancement. It seems to make sense in many ways.
We learn at History of Vaccines that the story of vaccines did not begin with the first vaccine, which always seems to be credited to Edward Jenner. (It was indeed Jenner who observed a group of milkmaids resistant to 'cow pox,' and it was Jenner whose use of cowpox pustules seemed to provide protection against smallpox.) Although we hear this story quite often, the saga ostensibly began with a long history of infectious disease in humans, and in particular, with earlier uses of smallpox material to provide immunity to that disease.
Evidence is reported on the timeline that the Chinese employed smallpox inoculation (or variolation, as such use of smallpox material was called) as early as 1,000 CE. It was practiced in Africa and Turkey as well, before spreading to Europe and the Americas.
Edward Jenner's innovations began with his successful 1796 use of cowpox material to create immunity to smallpox, which quickly made the practice widespread. His method underwent medical and technological changes over the next 200 years, and we have heard again and again how this eventually resulted in the eradication of smallpox (there is a dark side to Jenner's work because his own son died of tuberculosis, perhaps because vaccination impaired his immune system, but let's leave that out of our discussion. I may tackle that another time).
Yes, I too know the propaganda rather well after 20 years' research on this subject matter—and yes, my own parents (and their parents) bought into it, and even I bought into it when I was a young mother: 'hook, line, and sinker' as we all got the jab! I find it interesting that 'the powers that be' stopped giving the small pox vaccine because its side effects became pretty horrific and deadly.
In reviewing the timeline above, one might wish to have been a fly on the wall and listened in on the debates amongst religious scholars vs. the science guys of the day. It might have sounded something like this: "If man was created in God's image and is therefore perfect, then why isn't he/she perfect without this jab?" That's actually a good question. You'd think a baby's first food, their mother's colostrum, would/should be all that is needed: building a strong immune system, being allowed to catch childhood diseases, building immunity to them naturally, and being nourished with good food, clean water and proper hygiene. However, today, we are told a different tale, and vaccination due to fear of getting sick has become so commonplace that there is actually a new kind of fear model circulating that involves the so-called threat of the unvaccinated child or adult!

Artist Spotlight: Pharoah Sanders
Our long-reigning master of tenor-saxophone overblowing, Pharoah Sanders — a late-period compatriot of John Coltrane, and also the player who passed the free-jazz torch to Albert Ayler — is still out on the circuit, splitting reeds and blowing minds at age 73. His most recent appearance, on the Sao Paulo Underground album Pharoah & the Underground: Spiral Mercury, gives us a welcome opportunity to sift through 50-odd years of soulful and radical goodness.
Click play on our mix and you'll hear Pharoah's wild introduction to the 1971 jam "Red, Black and Green." Though, lest you think our playlist is going to be a front-to-back celebration of noisy abandon, we switch things up on the very next track: "Bluesin' for John C", written and recorded by one of McCoy Tyner's ensembles in the late 1980s. The aesthetic of the tune — urgent, swinging, and with merely a trace of hardcore histrionics — may surprise listeners who think Pharoah's career has only ever encompassed high-avant theatrics. By the way, did you know that Mr. Sanders also has a tender way with ballads such as "You Don't Know What Love Is", or show tune standards like Kurt Weill's "Speak Low"? Give us your ear for a bit, and we'll change how you think of Pharoah's career.
There's the uptempo R&B crossover of late 1970s cuts like "Got to Give It Up" (which finds a legit place for skronk inside disco funk). And check out the hard bop sensibility of a track like "Beyond the Wall", from alto-saxophonist Kenny Garrett's 1990s Nonesuch album of the same name. Pharoah's tenor solo is up last on the track, and it's a blast to hear him in fine improvisational form, well outside the stylistic confines of his most famous records. (Garrett would later make some funky space for his elder to roam around in, too, on a live version of "Wayne's Thang.")
Those Afro-mystical, blissful, spacey — and occasionally fearsome — early records that made Pharoah (in)famous? Sure, they're here, too: everything from "Hum-Allah-Hum-Allah-Hum Allah" to "Thembi" to an excerpt from "The Creator Has a Master Plan". But we've also got more recent cuts from the saxophonist, produced by Bill Laswell. (Those include selections from Pharoah's album Message from Home, as well as his sideman appearance on Sonny Sharrock's comeback album, Ask the Ages.) And don't forget those late Coltrane records on which Pharoah plays a major role (we've chosen selections from Meditations, Kulu Sé Mama and Live in Seattle). Put it together with the saxophonist's hottest performances on the Sao Paulo recording, and you've got enough visionary playing from Pharoah here to cover your next astral traveling session. Enjoy!

Social media campaign launched to break the silence on bullying in Singapore
Published on Apr 7, 2014 2:14 PM
A social media campaign was launched on Monday to encourage victims and friends of victims to speak out against bullying.
Spearheaded by local voluntary society, the Coalition Against Bullying for Children and Youth (CABCY), it features a 1 1/2-minute-long animated video of a bully victim going through psychological and emotional torment. The video on www.shareittoendit.com will get shorter the more shares it gets as a symbol of ending the suffering and misery of the victim.
The aim is to hit 100,000 shares on Facebook as soon as possible, with just the last video frame standing, said Ms Esther Ng, president and founder of the coalition. The video will also lead people to CABCY's website where victims, families and educators can tap on resources such as e-counselling services.
Said Ms Ng: "We need to break the silence on bullying in Singapore. Victims are typically afraid or embarrassed to talk about it."

Mashantucket — The Mashantucket Pequot Tribe swore in five police officers Friday and promoted another during ceremonies at the tribe's public safety complex on Pequot Trail.
The tribal police department, which now has 20 officers, has doubled in size since July, when William Dittman was named police chief.
The department has been preparing to assume more responsibility for policing on its reservation — including Foxwoods Resort Casino and MGM Grand at Foxwoods — where it shares concurrent jurisdiction with state police.
"The newest additions to our department represent a vast knowledge base of police experience, which will complement our existing exemplary team and serve to further enhance our protection and service to the tribal community," Dittman said in a statement.
Katy Tougas, an 18-year veteran of the tribe's Public Safety Department, was promoted to lieutenant.
Sworn in as officers were:
• Daniel Martin, who recently retired from the South Windsor Police Department after 31 years of service, 16 of which were dedicated to criminal investigation.
Martin supervised a regional narcotics unit and served as an investigator and as a sergeant in the detective division. He was sergeant of a special enforcement unit and led the Capital Region Emergency Services Team. He holds a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Westfield (Mass.) State College.
• Pasquale "Pat" Marino, who recently retired from the New Haven Police Department, where he'd served since 1991.
Following 11 years on patrol, including temporary assignment in the Narcotics Enforcement Unit, Marino was promoted to detective and assigned to the sexual assault, narcotics enforcement and robbery/burglary units. After his appointment as detective sergeant, he served as officer in charge of the robbery/burglary units and the Bureau of Identification/crime scene investigation unit.
• Anthony Zona, who recently retired from the New Haven Police Department after 24 years of service.
Zona served for 10 years as a patrol officer until his promotion to detective. Assigned to the Family Services Division, he investigated sexual assaults, serious juvenile crimes and domestic violence cases. Upon his promotion to sergeant, he was assigned to the Patrol Division and became district commander of the Fair Haven section of the city.
• Kevin Leach, who began his law enforcement career in the U.S. Coast Guard, where he participated in various law enforcement schools and patrols up and down the East Coast.
Following his honorable discharge in 1989, Leach joined the Norwich Police Department. He received the 2006 Connecticut State Police Outstanding Service Award and is pursuing a degree in business administration at Three Rivers Community College.
• Alexander Tran, an entry-level officer who will attend the Connecticut Police Academy in April.
Tran has served as a public safety officer and completed internships with the West Hartford Police Department, the state Board of Pardons and Paroles and the Connecticut Juvenile Training School. He has a bachelor's degree in criminology.
Tougas joined the tribe's Public Safety Department in 1994 and worked as an EMT/firefighter/dispatcher before graduating from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Academy and becoming a tribal police officer.
She served as the tribe's canine handler from 1999 to 2008, as well as a domestic violence instructor, ASP instructor and field training officer. Following her promotion to detective sergeant in 2007, she became the department's criminal/internal investigator.
Dittman told the state legislature's Public Safety and Security Committee this week that seven more officers are in various stages of the hiring process. He said 11 of the 20 officers now in place have been certified by the state Police Officer Standards and Training Council. The other nine are close to gaining certification, as are the seven officers yet to be hired, he said.

|Shouldn't you be administering ALL the antibiotic first before determining if he's better?
|Very hard to determine which is which and treatment for an infection with antibiotics will INCREASE the yeast. If he isn't getting better from the antibiotics it is probably yeast.
|I would stop using any wipes besides a clean soft cloth with warm water only to clean.
|Try the baking soda bath.
|Maybe try a little lotrimin or monistat lotion.

Over the past few years, the popularity of spearfishing while freediving has exploded along both coasts and in the Keys.
Spearfishing without the advantage of compressed air brings the concept of "fair chase" to entirely new level. Skilled freedivers can make it down to 130 feet, or even deeper, though that's not advisable.
It's the stealthiest way to hunt underwater. But imagine wrestling a large grouper, amberjack or cobia with nothing more than the last breath you took to make it back to the surface. It's a sport for the physically fit, and one that should involve some training.
The warm, clear, calm waters typical of the Florida summer are here. Spring, summer and early fall are great times to learn proper freediving techniques including safety and problem-management skills. Florida Freedivers, based in Lake Park, in Palm Beach County—arguably the epicenter of diving in the state.
Florida Freedivers offers junior classes for kids ages 12 to 15. It's a great program that gets your child comfortable in the ocean and able to deal calmly with emergencies. It saves lifes, and paves the way for a lifetime of fitness and connection with the ocean.
Kids who pass the junior freediver course are eligible to go directly into the FII Level II course with parental consent. This course prepares students to dive as deep as 130 feet, teaches the physiology of free diving, and gives them the wherewithal to perform a number of difficult rescues.
Aspiring freedivers ages 16 and up begin with the Level I course, which prepares you to dive as deep as 66 feet. It also teaches basic physiology and effective rescue and problem-management techniques.
Done properly, freediving is a safe way to stay in shape, catch dinner, and immerse yourself in the undersea world. For more information on classes, visit the Florida Freedivers website. Other schools offer similar curricula.
In the Miami area, check out Performance Freediving.
If you want to learn from a spearfishing master, check out http://www.freedivespearing.com/contact us.html, also in Miami.
In the Fort Lauderdale area, check out Immersion Freediving.
In Key Largo, give the Rainbow Reef Dive Center a call.

I read that paper, and was initially impressed that it came from Brooks.
I emailed to inquire who the author was; faculty or student, etc, and the school didn't bother to respond.
The longer I thought about it, the less scholarly that paper appeared to me. I have decided it appears to be a paper by an undergrad-level student who found it easier to dismiss the science that to research the reasons behind it.

surely the violence of the hour is a grievous thing. 2On the day when you shall see it, every woman giving suck shall quit in confusion what she suckled, and every pregnant woman shall lay down her burden, and you shall see men intoxicated, and they shall not be intoxicated but the chastisement of Allah will be severe. 3And among men there is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge and follows every rebellious Shaitan; 4Against him it is written down that whoever takes him for a friend, he shall lead him astray and conduct him to the chastisement of the burning fire. 5O people! if you are in doubt about the raising, then surely We created you from dust, then from a small seed, then from a clot, then from a lump of flesh, complete in make and incomplete, that We may make clear to you; and We cause what We please to stay in the wombs till an appointed time, then We bring you forth as babies, then that you may attain your maturity; and of you is he who is caused to die, and of you is he who is brought back to the worst part of life, so that after having knowledge he does not know anything; and you see the earth sterile land, but when We send down on it the water, it stirs and swells and brings forth of every kind a beautiful herbage. 6This is because Allah is the Truth and because He gives life to the dead and because He has power over all things 7And because the hour is coming, there is no doubt about it; and because Allah shall raise up those who are in the graves. 8And among men there is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge and without guidance and without an illuminating book, 9Turning away haughtily that he may lead (others) astray from the way of Allah; for him is disgrace in this world, and on the day of resurrection We will make him taste the punishment of burning: 10This is due to what your two hands have sent before, and because Allah is not in the least unjust to the servants. 11And among men is he who serves Allah (standing) on the verge, so that if good befalls him he is satisfied therewith, but if a trial afflict him he turns back headlong; he loses this world as well as the hereafter; that is a manifest loss. 12He calls besides Allah upon that which does not harm him and that which does not profit him, that is the great straying. 13He calls upon him whose harm is nearer than his profit; evil certainly is the guardian and evil certainly is the associate. 14Surely Allah will cause those who believe and do good deeds to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, surely Allah does what He pleases. 15Whoever thinks that Allah will not assist him in this life and the hereafter, let him stretch a rope to the ceiling, then let him cut (it) off, then let him see if his struggle will take away that at which he is enraged. 16And thus have We revealed it, being clear arguments, and because Allah guides whom He intends. 17Surely those who believe and those who are Jews and the Sabeans and the Christians and the Magians and those who associate (others with Allah)-- surely Allah will decide between them on the day of resurrection; surely Allah is a witness over all things. 18Do you not see that Allah is He, Whom obeys whoever is in the heavens and whoever is in the earth, and the sun and the moon and the stars, and the mountains and the trees, and the animals and many of the people; and many there are against whom chastisement has become necessary; and whomsoever Allah abases, there is none who can make him honorable; surely Allah does what He pleases. 19These are two adversaries who dispute about their Lord; then (as to) those who disbelieve, for them are cut out garments of fire, boiling water shall be poured over their heads. 20With it shall be melted what is in their bellies and (their) skins as well. 21And for them are whips of iron. 22Whenever they will desire to go forth from it, from grief, they shall be turned back into it, and taste the chastisement of burning. 23Surely Allah will make those who believe and do good deeds enter gardens beneath which rivers flow; they shall be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and (with) pearls, and their garments therein shall be of silk. 24And they are guided to goodly words and they are guided into the path of the Praised One. 25Surely (as for) those who disbelieve, and hinder (men) from Allah's way and from the Sacred Mosque which We have made equally for all men, (for) the dweller therein and (for) the visitor, and whoever shall incline therein to wrong unjustly, We will make him taste of a painful chastisement. 26And when We assigned to Ibrahim the place of the House, saying: Do not associate with Me aught, and purify My House for those who make the circuit and stand to pray and bow and prostrate themselves. 27And proclaim among men the Pilgrimage: they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, coming from every remote path, 28That they may witness advantages for them and mention the name of Allah during stated days over what He has given them of the cattle quadrupeds, then eat of them and feed the distressed one, the needy. 29Then let them accomplish their needful acts of shaving and cleansing, and let them fulfil their vows and let them go round the Ancient House. 30That (shall be so); and whoever respects the sacred ordinances of Allah, it is better for him with his Lord; and the cattle are made lawful for you, except that which is recited to you, therefore avoid the uncleanness of the idols and avoid false words, 31Being upright for Allah, not associating aught with Him and whoever associates (others) with Allah, it is as though he had fallen from on high, then the birds snatch him away or the wind carries him off to a far-distant place. 32That (shall be so); and whoever respects the signs of Allah, this surely is (the outcome) of the piety of hearts. 33You have advantages in them till a fixed time, then their place of sacrifice is the Ancient House. 34And to every nation We appointed acts of devotion that they may mention the name of Allah on what He has given them of the cattle quadrupeds; so your god is One God, therefore to Him should you submit, and give good news to the humble, 35(To) those whose hearts tremble when Allah is mentioned, and those who are patient under that which afflicts them, and those who keep up prayer, and spend (benevolently) out of what We have given them. 36And (as for) the camels, We have made them of the signs of the religion of Allah for you; for you therein is much good; therefore mention the name of Allah on them as they stand in a row, then when they fall down eat of them and feed the poor man who is contented and the beggar; thus have We made them subservient to you, that you may be grateful. 37There does not reach Allah their flesh nor their blood, but to Him is acceptable the guarding (against evil) on your part; thus has He made them subservient to you, that you may magnify Allah because He has guided you aright; and give good news to those who do good (to others). 38Surely Allah will defend those who believe; surely Allah does not love any one who is unfaithful, ungrateful. 39Permission (to fight) is given to those upon whom war is made because they are oppressed, and most surely Allah is well able to assist them; 40Those who have been expelled from their homes without a just cause except that they say: Our Lord is Allah. And had there not been Allah's repelling some people by others, certainly there would have been pulled down cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques in which Allah's name is much remembered; and surely Allah will help him who helps His cause; most surely Allah is Strong, Mighty. 41Those who, should We establish them in the land, will keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and enjoin good and forbid evil; and Allah's is the end of affairs. 42And if they reject you, then already before you did the people of Nuh and Ad and Samood reject (prophets). 43And the people of Ibrahim and the people of Lut, 44As well as those of Madyan and Musa (too) was rejected, but I gave respite to the unbelievers, then did I overtake them, so how (severe) was My disapproval. 45So how many a town did We destroy while it was unjust, so it was fallen down upon its roofs, and (how many a) deserted well and palace raised high. 46Have they not travelled in the land so that they should have hearts with which to understand, or ears with which to hear? For surely it is not the eyes that are blind, but blind are the hearts which are in the breasts. 47And they ask you to hasten on the punishment, and Allah will by no means fail in His promise, and surely a day with your Lord is as a thousand years of what you number. 48And how many a town to which I gave respite while it was unjust, then I overtook it, and to Me is the return. 49Say: O people! I am only a plain warner to you. 50Then (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have forgiveness and an honorable sustenance. 51And (as for) those who strive to oppose Our communications, they shall be the inmates of the flaming fire. 52And We did not send before you any apostle or prophet, but when he desired, the Shaitan made a suggestion respecting his desire; but Allah annuls that which the Shaitan casts, then does Allah establish His communications, and Allah is Knowing, Wise, 53So that He may make what the Shaitan casts a trial for those in whose hearts is disease and those whose hearts are hard; and most surely the unjust are in a great opposition, 54And that those who have been given the knowledge may know that it is the truth from your Lord, so they may believe in it and their hearts may be lowly before it; and most surely Allah is the Guide of those who believe into a right path. 55And those who disbelieve shall not cease to be in doubt concerning it until the hour overtakes them suddenly, or there comes on them the chastisement of a destructive day. 56The kingdom on that day shall be Allah's; He will judge between them; so those who believe and do good will be in gardens of bliss. 57And (as for) those who disbelieve in and reject Our communications, these it is who shall have a disgraceful chastisement. 58And (as for) those who fly in Allah's way and are then slain or die, Allah will most certainly grant them a goodly sustenance, and most surely Allah is the best Giver of sustenance. 59He will certainly cause them to enter a place of entrance which they shall be well pleased with, and most surely Allah is Knowing, Forbearing. 60That (shall be so); and he who retaliates with the like of that with which he has been afflicted and he has been oppressed, Allah will most certainly aid him; most surely Allah is Pardoning, Forgiving. 61That is because Allah causes the night to enter into the day and causes the day to enter into the night, and because Allah is Hearing, Seeing. 62That is because Allah is the Truth, and that what they call upon besides Him-- that is the falsehood, and because Allah is the High, the Great. 63Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the cloud so the earth becomes green? Surely Allah is Benignant, Aware. 64His is whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth; and most surely Allah is the Self-sufficient, the Praised. 65Do you not see that Allah has made subservient to you whatsoever is in the earth and the ships running in the sea by His command? And He withholds the heaven from falling on the earth except with His permission; most surely Allah is Compassionate, Merciful to men. 66And He it is Who has brought you to life, then He will cause you to die, then bring you to life (again); most surely man is ungrateful. 67To every nation We appointed acts of devotion which they observe, therefore they should not dispute with you about the matter and call to your Lord; most surely you are on a right way. 68And if they contend with you, say: Allah best knows what you do. 69Allah will judge between you on the day of resurrection respecting that in which you differ. 70Do you not know that Allah knows what is in the heaven and the earth? Surely this is in a book; surely this is easy to Allah. 71And they serve besides Allah that for which He has not sent any authority, and that of which they have no knowledge; and for the unjust there shall be no helper. 72And when Our clear communications are recited to them you will find denial on the faces of those who disbelieve; they almost spring upon those who recite to them Our communications. Say: Shall I inform you of what is worse than this? The fire; Allah has promised it to those who disbelieve; and how evil the resort! 73O people! a parable is set forth, therefore listen to it: surely those whom you call upon besides Allah cannot create fly, though they should all gather for it, and should the fly snatch away anything from them, they could not take it back from it; weak are the invoker and the invoked. 74They have not estimated Allah with the estimation that i due to Him; most surely Allah is Strong, Mighty. 75Allah chooses apostles from among the angels and from among the men; surely Allah is Hearing, Seeing. 76He knows what is before them and what is behind them and to Allah are all affairs turned back. 77O you who believe! bow down and prostrate yourselves and serve your Lord, and do good that you may succeed. 78And strive hard in (the way of) Allah, (such) a striving as is due to Him; He has chosen you and has not laid upon you an hardship in religion; the faith of your father Ibrahim; He named you Muslims before and in this, that the Apostle may be a bearer of witness to you, and you may be bearers of witness to the people; therefore keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and hold fast by Allah; He is your Guardian; how excellent the Guardian and how excellent the Helper!

Viking legacy fuels independent spirit of Yorkshire
By Olesya Dmitracova
YORK – Nothing about the tranquil-looking elderly women standing in a sunlit road in this northern English town brings Vikings to mind. Until you look at the name of the street — Coppergate.
It reveals the legacy of the legendary warriors who settled in the modern-day English county of Yorkshire in the 9th century; "Gate" derives from "gata," meaning "street" in Old Norse, a medieval Scandinavian language.
This Viking connection runs through the place names, surnames and dialect of Yorkshire — home to England's biggest Scandinavian settlements and a region renowned for cherishing its distinct identity.
This Viking link forms part of the area's character which, like regional identities everywhere, is the focus of academic research at a time of globalization and regional disputes.
"There's an element of northern separatism, which you can rather romantically — unhistorically — attach to the Vikings," said Matthew Townend, linguist and historian at the University of York.
"The Vikings don't respect authority, the Vikings don't want to be governed by some central government in the south of England."
The heritage of the Vikings has survived in Yorkshire for 1,000 years, out-lasting the Romans and the Anglo-Saxons who populated the region previously and the Normans who arrived later.
"The most obvious thing is the map: there are hundreds and hundreds of Scandinavian names," said David Parsons, lecturer in English at the University of Nottingham.
The Vikings often combined people's names and nicknames with Old Norse endings "-by," "-kirk," "-twaite" and "-wath" to produce memorable place names, such as the village of Ugglebarnby, which can be translated as "the settlement of the owl-bearded."
Place names gave rise to surnames, including Hornby, Danby and Hecklerby.
"Almost in any village around here you will find people with such names. Most surnames have a very regional origin, they arose in the Middle Ages," Townend said.
The Scandinavian influence is also apparent in the English language in words like "husband" and "sky" and heavily used linguistic units such as "there."
"The borrowing of important grammatical words suggests a very high level of influence, which is rather different from the effect that French had on the language," Parsons said.
Borrowed French words are often used in literary English and to describe sophisticated lifestyles, while Scandinavian words name features of landscapes and types of fish, he added.
Some words of a distinct Scandinavian origin such as "laik" for "to play" are used only in northern parts of England.
To outsiders, Yorkshire flaunts its Viking history with a pride many say is trademark of the region.
The Viking museum in York, the Jorvik Center in Coppergate, is a feat of archeological research and computer-aided reconstruction, as well as a major tourist attraction alongside regular Viking and Scandinavian festivals.
Many shops and guesthouses have the word "Viking" in their names. A local radio station is called Viking FM. "It is a sort of a local identity that appeals to the tourists and that presumably local people feel to some degree," Townend said.
Among Yorkshire's famously forthright people, this pride in the past has also fueled a feeling of uniqueness.
"We are gobby!" said Jessica, who works at the Yorkshire Museum in York, explaining that "gobby" means "loud" in Yorkshire dialect.
"Northerners still like to feel that they are different from the people in the south … and the Vikings can be used as an emblem," Townend said.
Nicola, who also works at the Yorkshire Museum, said: "Yorkshire people are very proud of being from Yorkshire — more probably of being Yorkshire than English."
Not everyone credits the Vikings with this distinct identity. Parsons said the socioeconomic background of Yorkshire people in a rural region played a greater role in defining their character than medieval history.
It may be precisely this jigsaw-puzzle nature of modern-day regional identity that attracts multidisciplinary research on regions and regionalism.
"It's a topic that seems to bring together a lot of different trends, it seems to hit a lot of buttons," said Robert Crawshaw, organizer of a series of seminars at Lancaster University on "Regions and regionalism in and beyond Europe."
"I thought it was a timely theme," he said. "There is a current development in thinking that regional identity … can co-exist happily with global control, whereas global control and nationhood are quite often in contrast with each other."

Benefits and Features of Good Drivers Gloves
Drivers gloves have a number of applications including construction, agriculture, metal works, forklift driving, transportation, and chainsaw operations. The number one benefit of these gloves is hand protection against cuts, splinters, calluses, and other damage. Depending on the type of gloves such as lined drivers gloves an added benefit is warmth. Unlined drivers gloves work better for summer and warmer climates by keeping the hands protected, yet cool.
Additional benefits include dexterity, flexibility, and comfort. Many of the gloves in this category will keep your hands free to move, lift, or wrangle cattle. Your hands will not slip on rope, lumber, chainsaws, or anything you need to pick up or grip.
Drivers gloves are made from different materials. Different wrist styles, hems, and thumb flexibility exist for these gloves.
Benefits of Unlined Drivers Gloves
Unlined drivers gloves protect your hands from calluses, dirt, cuts and more. Depending on the style of drivers gloves an elastic wrist can keep out debris and dirt ensuring your hands are always clean. Unlined drivers gloves are designed for agriculture, construction, masonry, mining, transportation, and electrical contractors.
Features of the Gloves
Many of the gloves are cowhide leather. The thumb is both flexible and durable for proper use when driving cattle, lifting lumber, or any use you have for the gloves. The product is color-coded for easy size identification too.
The different features found on unlined drivers gloves make it possible to choose the style that will benefit you the most. An elastic wrist may be all you need, but for more security you can choose the ball and tape cinch, which tightens the band around the wrist even more. Most of these gloves are made with cowhide leather, but a few have Kevlar for more durability particularly for transportation uses.
Benefits of Lined Drivers Gloves
Lined drivers gloves provide more warmth for those winter months. With thinsulate lining the gloves have padding, which can protect your hand during heavy duty work. Lined leather gloves can be used in the auto industry, building, chainsaw operations, farming, and forklift operations. There is still comfort and dexterity with lined gloves. A few of the options offer the benefit of warmer fleece lining.
Gloves are made with deerskin or cowhide, which is durable and flexible. Pigskin has also been used mostly for auto and vehicle work. It is possible to use oil on the gloves to keep them in good shape and protect them against water. Drivers, ropers, and those in construction can get their work done without worry. These gloves protect against calluses, cuts, and damage during work.
Uses of these Gloves
Anyone who uses these gloves will find the following benefits:
Lined drivers gloves are good for a variety of jobs as well as keeping your hands safe, warm, and flexible. Whether you use those with a ball and cinch wrist or elastic wrist your hand will be protected.

Kingpen Slim ft. Raheem Devaughn - 16 Bars
Artist: Kingpen Slim
Featuring: Raheem DeVaughn
Producer: DJ J Buttah
Album: The Beam Up
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 14 votes )
Behind (almost) every musical superstar lies many long years of hard work and sacrifice. Nonexistent job security, red-eye flights, endless nights spent recording while your friends party… let's just say the life of a hip-hop hopeful isn't a walk in the park. On his first solo feature, DMV emcee Kingpen Slim (previously heard on PHZ-Sicks' Make 'Em Envy) explains that, when the going gets toughest, he's sustained by the knowledge that at any moment he may be only "16 Bars away from greatness." DJ J Buttah's midtempo bells and synths set an appropriately pensive mood as Slim pours out his heart, looking back on past troubles and forward to his impending success. Complete with a fresh, soulful chorus by Raheem Devaughn, this track has a real, introspective vibe that should strike a chord with listeners in the Booth, but does Kingpen Slim really have what it takes to break through to the big leagues? Only time will tell. If you think he might, you'll most definitely want to check out his The Beam-Up mixtape (released in late '09, available online), as well as keeping it locked for the latest details on The Beam Up 2, dropping sometime this summer.

Taking a hiatus from blogging have given me the opportunity to indulge in one of my favorite "sports" - Marathon. No. It's not what you think. In my lingo, it's watching Documentary Films on Netflix via my Roku Player. Yes that. Now, in my watched list are these documentaries that are sure to change the way you think, the way you look at your food or the way you view your world. I promise, it won't kill you to watch these documentaries simultaneously, though it may make your butt bigger if you don't get up from your couch occasionally. If any at all, it will broaden your horizon and create a deeper awareness at what's really happening in this world we live in and the things that surround us. I'd recommend watching them with your kids. I always believe in that Knowledge is king.
And these are the kind of knowledge worth knowing.
In the island made of plastic. I have no clue this island existed until I saw this film. More shocking is the reason why it became The Great Pacific Garbage Patch and the grave danger it brought to our wildlife and our ecosystem around the world. It truly makes you rethink the way you use plastic. Or I hope it does.

LTS Releases Core Standard-Aligned Stride Academy Program to Benefit Today's Digital Youth
As the age of technology and the Internet moves forward, our school-aged youth are learning to communicate and relate to one another in very different ways than their parents may have. In fact, the availability of the Internet to young children has been shown to increase multi-tasking ability and increase engagement in learning material.
BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA (PRWEB) June 11, 2013
As the age of technology and the Internet moves forward, our school-aged youth are learning to communicate and relate to one another in very different ways than their parents may have. In fact, the availability of the Internet to young children has been shown to increase multi-tasking ability and increase engagement in learning material.
Video games and videos are much more commonly used as entertainment among today´s student generation. "The average young person will spend at least 10,000 hours playing video games by the age of 21. Why wouldn´t we leverage this engagement to ensure that today´s digital youth are learning, growing, and developing critical skill sets while they play? asks Ernie Gray, LTS Education Systems Chief Information Officer.
"Stride Academy is truly the future of learning excitement, and every day we are seeing disengaged and ℠unreachable´ students come alive when they log in to experience our program," says Gray. The Stride Academy program, observing modern-day students´ interest and engagement in technology and video games, has provided learning options that utilize this basis in technology.
Stride Academy is the first and only online curriculum that is not only aligned to national Common Core State Standards and standards assessed on the STAAR tests in Texas, but it is the only personalized learning platform and online curriculum that is available on iPads and other high-performance, Stride-Certified tablets. The use of tablets is becoming more and more common in schools across the country, and implementing a program like Stride Academy is vital. The program fills a niche that until now has been empty, by providing schools with a wonderful learning platform that is actually compatible with the new tablets being used. This program is one-of-a-kind because not only is it readily available both in school and at home, providing a bridge for the summer gap in which knowledge and school-readiness strides forward are often lost, but it also includes academic consulting from experts in the field and employees of LTS.
In addition, each child using Stride Academy will be provided with consistent and regular educational feedback. Teachers can track each student´s performance, allowing them to spot those who may need more one-on-one instruction in specific areas, and provide these students with fulfilling, meaningful feedback that will allow the student to better his or her academic career.
Damien Moses, the principal of Hillcrest Elementary School in Florida, which uses LTS´s learning platforms, says, "LTS has played a vital role in the academic success at Hillcrest Elementary. As principal of a Title I school, I am always looking for quality web-based instruction that engages students. LTS learning platforms do just that. I am very impressed with the way the program allows teachers to track each student´s performance, and gives the students meaningful feedback. Students are always excited and focused on the scope of the lesson when using this program."
You can learn all about LTS´s Stride Academy online on their website! There is currently a helpful and informative demo available for viewing the student experience in Stride Academy. Stride Academy is sure to stand out as a resource for summer learning and the upcoming school year to help students achieve academically.

Dwayne De Rosario and Bill Hamid are determined to change things for the better at DC United.
The Washington club finished the 2013 MLS season with a woeful points tally of 16 from 34 matches, including three wins – the fewest in a campaign since the competition's inception.
DC stars De Rosario and Hamid admitted 2013 was simply not good enough as they strive to put things right in 2014.
"A lot of things definitely need to change, so hopefully we can work on those things," said skipper De Rosario.
"I think it's a combination of a lot of things. I think a lot of us could do a lot of improvement in the offseason, mentally, physically, preparation-wise."
While De Rosario was more pragmatic regarding the club's current plight, Hamid chose to wear his heart on his sleeve.
"That record, man, I'm sorry, but it [expletive] sucks," Hamid said.
"This season has now been forgotten in my brain, to be honest with you. I'm sure every single one of us are in the same boat because thinking about this is depressing. 2014, that's where the thoughts are right now."

Adrienne Devino, age 18, of Addison, Vt., was killed while snowtubing on the slopes of Loon Mountain, N.H. March 30. She was with student members of the Northeastern University Resident Student Association where she served as a student-public relations officer. Devino was a 2006 graduate of Vergennes Union High School. As a student at VUHS, she received various academic and extracurricular honors; she was popular with students and faculty and served as her class president three years in a row. According to news reports, Devino was pronounced dead of internal injuries at Speare Memorial Hospital in Plymouth, N.H. Northeastern spokesman Fred McGrail said Devino, a communications major, was one of about 50 students on the school-sponsored trip. While a student at VUHS, Devino was active in athletics and a prom queen during her junior year. James O'Brien, a Northeastern student with Devino, said they were tubing on an illuminated trail around 8 p.m. when Devino left the trail, struck an embankment and lost control of her tube. The trail was icy due to melting and freezing of snow the night before, according to eyewitnesses. More than 150 neighbors, friends and former VUHS classmates attended a memorial bonfire in Devino's memory March 31 in Addison. Adrienne loved the big city, but she was a country girl at heart, friend Pam Wheeler said. The Vergennes Seth Warner Chapter presented its 2006 Good Citizen Award to Devino. At the time, Devino was lauded for outstanding qualities of dependability, service, leadership and patriotism.

Danica upset with Nationwide results
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP)
Trouble in practice, difficulty qualifying, late-race wrecks and even a shoe - yes, a shoe - that she ran over while leading has defined Danica Patrick's first full Nationwide season.
DANICA'S BESTThere's no one like Danica, both on and off the track. Check out some of our favorite photos of Danica in action.
She has only two top-10s through the first 29 races for JR Motorsports, and has yet to crack the top 20 during the first seven races of an abbreviated Sprint Cup slate for Stewart-Haas Racing, where Patrick will run full-time next season for team owner Tony Stewart.
Now she comes to Kansas, where she'll be running both series this weekend, hoping that some of the success she had here in the IndyCar Series rubs off on the recently repaved track.
''Ultimately, I'm disappointed with the results,'' Patrick said before qualifying 41st for Sunday's Sprint Cup race. ''I wish there were better results on the record books, but there are a lot of drivers that can say that at the end of the year.''
The season couldn't have started out any better. Patrick won the pole for the season-opening Nationwide race at Daytona, and finished eighth a few weeks later at Texas.
Never did she think that'd be the high point of the season.
She blew an engine at Fontana and crashed at Iowa, and for one frustrating stretch this summer wrecked in five of the 12 races she started. Her head-first crash into the inside retaining wall at Daytona in July led to a 31st-place finish after leading laps earlier in the race.
At Road America, Patrick was battling with Jacques Villeneuve on the last lap when they got together, causing her to spin out. Villeneuve finished sixth and Patrick ended up 12th.
''I feel like we've been overall much faster than what our results have showed, and performed better in the race that what our results have showed,'' Patrick said. ''We definitely had a pretty long stretch of bad luck over the summer, and that's where I felt we had the most speed.''
Patrick had plenty of speed at Montreal, too, where the most bizarre twist of fate occurred.
She was in the lead and keeping an eye on Villeneuve in her rearview mirror when her No. 7 Chevy hit a shoe thrown on the track. Patrick eventually broke her rear axle and finished 27th, and her crew chief later said the shoe had nothing to do with the mechanical failure.
''There were a bunch of races that things happened that were not completely out of my control, but definitely not always in my control,'' she said. ''With that in mind, it's been an OK season. We recognize as a team we need to find speed. That's why you've seen the changes in the team.''
Along the way, JR Motorsports parted ways with competition director Tony Eury Sr. and Patrick's crew chief, Tony Eury Jr. Ryan Pemberton has been the crew chief the past three races.
The results haven't been a whole lot better in the Cup car, either, where Patrick's best run was 25th at Chicago - even though her primary goal has always been to simply gain experience.
THAT'S THE WAY!Keselowski's back in charge after JJ's setback. NASCAR Power Rankings
That's why Stewart laid out a 10-race plan that put Patrick on some of the more challenging tracks in the series, including Darlington and Bristol, where she crashed late in the race.
''It's going to be hard to be competitive right off the bat,'' Stewart said. ''Having gone through those lessons and going through those experiences, that's where we can keep her confidence up and remind her, `Hey, there's a reason we brought you into this program.'''
Stewart-Haas Racing announced Friday that Tony Gibson will move to the No. 10 car as Patrick's crew chief next season, and get a jump on 2013 by working her final two races at Texas and Phoenix.
Patrick is 10th in the Nationwide points with four races remaining.
''Next year, she'll see the benefits of that, and it's hard,'' Stewart said of her schedule. ''She's running against top-notch guys, top-notch teams, and there's not enough time to let her get caught up at this point, but she's still learning. She's a confident person.''
Confidence has never been an issue, of course. This is the same driver who's brazenly starred in a series of racy Super Bowl ads for her sponsor, Go Daddy, the past few years.
Go Daddy announced this week it had signed New York agency Deutsch Inc. to produce its Super Bowl spots this year, which means Patrick may not be involved. But the website domain provider is still committed to sponsoring her Sprint Cup schedule next season.
''My sponsors and partners have always been great,'' Patrick said. ''They don't just sponsor me and put their name on the side of the car. They go beyond that. They use my platform and my reach with fans. I always believe that's what makes the relationship really work.
''While they want me to do well,'' she said, ''I want to do well, and that's the primary goal.''

Indonesia beef prices soar amid sufficiency drive
Wednesday - 3/20/2013, 7:08pm EDT
Associated Press
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Haji Hidayat makes his living selling one of Indonesia's most popular dishes: a tasty meatball soup known as bakso. Earlier this week, after 22 years he decided to take a break and leave the capital for his village, no longer able to afford to keep ladling the brothy goodness customers had come to expect from him.
The price of beef, the main ingredient in bakso, has hit a record high while other essential components -- garlic, shallots and chilies -- have also recently skyrocketed.
Beef now costs more than $10 a kilogram (2.2 pounds), up from around $6 a kilogram nine months ago. Meanwhile in the past month alone, sellers at a large traditional market in Jakarta report garlic has leaped three and half times to $7.20 a kilogram, while shallots increased more than fourfold to $4.60 and chilies more than tripled to $5.15.
"This is insane!" said Hidayat, who held out as long as he could after hiking the cost of a bowl of his steaming soup last month from 30 cents to $1 to offset rising beef prices. "If we subtract the seasoning, our buyers don't like our meatball soup. If we raise the price, they can't afford to buy, so I'd better close my stall until the price returns to normal."
Other desperate bakso sellers, who typically hawk their dish from rolling food carts, ignited a firestorm late last year after opting to cut corners by mixing pork into their meatballs -- a forbidden food for most in the world's most populous Muslim country.
Analysts say the high cost of beef is an inevitable side-effect of Indonesia's drive to achieve self-sufficiency in the meat as well as corn, rice, sugar and soybeans by 2014, a policy sparked by the global food crisis that hurt tens of millions in developing countries in 2007 and 2008. Garlic, shallots and chilies are not among those commodities, but the surge in their prices, pinned on market manipulation by importers and flooding, underline other problems in the food industry that complicate efforts to keep prices affordable.
The spiraling costs have sparked intense debate in the media and online, prompting President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to demand that the trade and agriculture ministries stop pointing fingers and fix the surging prices.
Political scandal has eclipsed Indonesia's largest Islamic party after the leader was arrested two months ago and accused of accepting bribes to secure a government contract for a beef importer. A watchdog organization has also accused garlic and shallot importers of creating a cartel by holding shipments of the pungent cloves hostage on the dock while prices climbed.
Last year, Indonesia slashed import quotas for live cattle by more than a third and boxed beef by nearly two thirds as part of its self-sufficiency plan, but its domestic production has not been high enough to fill the gap. Further import reductions are planned this year. The government says imported beef now accounts for only 14.5 percent of national consumption, down from 53 percent in 2010 with imports reduced from 220,000 tons to an expected 80,000 tons this year.
The self-sufficiency policy got significant political impetus in 2011 when Australia temporarily banned exports of live cattle to Indonesia following public outcry over a video showing animals bellowing in pain and slowly bleeding to death at an Indonesian slaughterhouse. Then in 2012, Indonesia banned U.S. beef imports following one reported case of mad cow disease. Washington has accused Indonesia of protectionism and in January filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization.
Vice Agriculture Minister Rusman Heriawan said the government is pressing ahead with its agenda even as he acknowledged it had overestimated the ability of Indonesia's smallholder cattle farmers, many of whom have just three or four cows, to supply the market.
"Unfortunately, there are too many distortions which are not taken into account, causing meat prices to soar so high," he said.
"We need time to correct all the deficiencies that exist." People in Jakarta, who eat six times more beef than the national average, should "learn to realize self-sufficiency," he said.
In a report last year, the Paris-based Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development called Indonesia's self-sufficiency goal "misplaced." Its archipelago geography, unreliable transport and lack of industrial farming mean it is ill equipped to engineer a significant increase in local food production. The OECD warned of rising prices that would ultimately harm the country's poor majority.
Andrzej Kwiecinski, senior agricultural policy analyst at the organization and the report's main author, said beef is possibly the least challenging of the commodities in which Indonesia hopes to achieve self-sufficiency. Rice and corn production were already close to meeting local demand while sugar and soybean production is years away from that.

I saw the weekend challenge and decided to submit a video. I have a 1 year old boy and "routine" life is very different with a child. Filmed at my house on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. The waves are big and that is the background noise you can here in each shot. Filmed during sunset hence the shadows and orange color. I had only 9 takes to capture a genuine "routine" day. No CC and audio is straight from the camera. All these factors were in play to capture a raw and real 5x5 with my son as the protagonist.
Equipment used:
Sony a77 and kit lens (16-50f2.8).
Flimsy Sunpak tripod.
Hammock from Puerto Escondido, Mexico.
Loading more stuff…
Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?

Romance Historical
Filled with romance and comedy...it is more like visiting old friends than just reading a book
Has an eye for the ladies, loves a good fight. Splits his
sides over rude jokes. Won't ask directions no matter how
lost he is . . . even in a longship, for the love of Odin!
Sound like anyone you know? Maybe every man you know?
Toste and Vagn Ivarsson are all that and more�a lot more.
Identical Viking twins, they came squalling into this world
together, rode their first horses at the age of seven, their
first maids during their thirteenth summer, and rode off on
longships as untried fourteen-year-old warriors. And now,
having seen only thirty and one winters, they are about to
face Valhalla together. Or maybe something even more tragic:
being separated. For even the most virile Viking must
eventually leave his best buddy behind and do battle with
that most fearsome of all opponents�the love of his life.

CBM: When the America Invents Act (AIA) was passed in 2011, it ushered in a number of new post-grant options to challenge and defend patents at the United States Patent and Trademark Oce. One of these newly-created proceedings, Covered Business Method (CBM), is noteworthy for its special eligibility criteria and limitations not present in other post-grant options. In this report, we look at the particular challenges and opportunities posed by this unique proceeding in the time since it was implemented.
"If you build it will they come?"
The results have been mixed. This is perhaps not surprising given some of the eligibility requirements that Congress put in place at the outset. The number of CBMs filed each month fluctuates between 0 and 19, compared with approximately 60 requests for inter partes review filed each month.
