Where do I call home?
My story is one of searching for a place to belong, and finally discovering it with God.
I was born in 1939 in Russia. I don't remember my father at all because he was sent to Siberia when I was 2 years old. All I have of him is the wedding photo taken the day my parents were married.
Long after, we learned that he had died of starvation. He was another victim of the war. Russia was trying to empty itself of all men of German descent. They thought that if Germany invaded Russia, these men would join with the Germans.
On the run
My first real memories begin when I was 4. They are memories of running. The German army had come to Russia. My family and I, including my mother and aunt, fled in horse drawn carts. My mom, her aunt and I got through, but the rest of my family were stopped and sent back to Russia. We finally ended up in Germany. It was 1943.
My mother worked as a translator for the Russian army. We lived in constant fear of being sent back to Russia. A German woman helped my mother and I leave that area to get into the American zone of Germany, a broken country divided at that time into different districts run by different countries. We fled again, this time using a wheelbarrow. Really! They bundled me in, covered me with wood, and pretended that they were gathering sticks.
The refugee years
We ended up in an American-run refugee camp. There my mother fell ill and began a battle with tuberculosis that would never really end.
We were in that refugee camp for five years. We were just thankful to have regular meals. All this time we were trying to get into Canada, but with no success. Then the door opened to South America so we were off to Uruguay. It was 1951. I was 12.
My mother taught in refugee camps and cooked and I cleaned other people's houses. I finally had the chance to do formal schooling and went to high school where I re-dedicated my life to the Lord. I had heard about Jesus Christ when I was nine, but I had slipped away. This was one of the times in my life when I turned back to Him. There would be more.
Mother continued to be in and out of hospital. By the time I was 17, my mother died.
I was alone in the world.
A kind missionary couple from Canada wanted to adopt me and bring me to Canada but that didn't work out. I continued to work, cooking and baking for a Jewish woman. I told her that I didn't know how to do anything, but I said to her: "If you have a cookbook, I will learn." To this day, I still love to cook and bake.
Love at last
I met the man who would become my husband, Hans, when I was 18. We married a year later and moved to Paraguay where we began our family; we had our three daughters there.
In 1971 our youngest son was born—in Canada. I had finally made it. We came to Canada because my husband had malaria and the doctors said only a complete change of climate would help him. He had brothers here, so that is what we did.
We liked Canada right away. But it was hard to get used to the new customs and new language. It took a while. But we settled in Vancouver. I worked as a cook; after all those years the lessons from the woman in Uraguay still helped.
A place to belong
It was here in Canada that I rededicated my life to the Lord once again. It was 1973 and I haven't looked back since. God has been so faithful. I experience His mercy every day. My husband died 15 years ago. I still miss him. But God is with me.
For me, this long journey has been about belonging, or maybe, not belonging.
I was born in Russia, grew up in Germany, lived in South America and now I am in Canada. In Russia we were called Germans, in Germany we were called Russians, in South America we were called gringos, and in Canada it is your accent that gives you away.
But with God, you are at home no matter where you live or where you are from.
My most recent experience when I felt Him so very close was when I was trying to decide whether or not to go on a mission trip. I was full of fear so I asked Him for a sign. Kind of a silly sign because I attend a church that does mostly modern music. But, I said to the Lord, "If you want me to go on this trip then give me a sign, this Sunday, let us sing this song When Peace like a River." And in Church that Sunday morning, that is exactly how the worship leader ended the service, with that old hymn.
I was overwhelmed.
The Lord is listening. He is there when you need him. He answers prayer. He gives new courage. And courage is something I have needed. Even when you feel you are alone, you are never alone. God is just a prayer away.
If you would like to experience the reality of God's presence in your life and have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, you can say this prayer:
Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make the kind of person You want me to be.
Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make the kind of person You want me to be.

A Quick Tip About Dandruff
Who knew that you're likely to get dandruff when your hair is oily? I thought it was something that occurred in dry or dirty hair with an unhealthy scalp. Yet, according to Dr. David Kingsley (Ph.D. and trichologist), you can help reduce unsightly flakes by soaking a cotton ball in mint mouthwash and rubbing it on the affected areas. Do this when your hair is dry to absorb white specks and even some of the oil.
It is also a good idea to use a dandruff shampoo once a week until your scalp calms down and re-balances. I never would have thought about this, but hey, why not try it? Do you have any special dandruff-stopping tricks to share?

Another New York podiatric surgeon, Dr. Hillary Brenner, says a number of patients – mostly women – have come to her hoping to have their pinky toes removed in order to fit into smaller shoes! She always turns them down, however. "Why fix something that's not broken?" she said.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - A man who abducted his two daughters 20 years ago, told them their mother was dead and made a new life for them under assumed names in Florida pleaded guilty Friday to kidnapping and was let off with probation and a $100,000 fine.
Stephen Fagan, who could have gotten 20 years in prison, struck a plea bargain that called for five years of probation.
Answering mostly yes-or-no questions from the judge, Fagan, 57, acknowledged taking the girls from his ex-wife, Barbara Kurth, without her permission during what was supposed to be a weekend visit in 1979.
The daughters, now 25 and 22, have stood by their father even after they learned last year that their mother was alive and that their names had been changed. They have refused to meet with their mother.
The hearing marked the first time that Kurth, Fagan and their daughters were in the same room since he kidnapped the girls, then 2 and 5.
Prosecutors said Kurth, 49, approved the plea agreement. Even so, she said in a statement: "Some days I believe that Stephen Fagan would have been kinder to really have murdered me rather than having done so only in the minds of my children - at least then there would have been no question as to his punishment."
In addition to the probation, Fagan was ordered to perform 2,000 hours of community service in a Florida veterans hospital and pay $100,000 to a Boston children's charity selected by Kurth.
"This has been a tragic, difficult and wrenching case for everyone who has been victimized by Mr. Fagan's unlawful conduct," Judge Peter Lauriat said.
Fagan told the children their mother had died in a car wreck. He claimed that she was neglectful and an alcoholic and that he needed to rescue them. At the time, he said, courts didn't look kindly on a father seeking custody.
"I was raised in a home where the best interests of the children always came first. They still do," Fagan said outside court. "This has always been about Rachael and Lisa, for me. Nothing and no one else."
Kurth, who was divorced from Fagan in 1978, has denied she was unfit and said she was suffering from narcolepsy, an illness that causes sudden, deep sleep.
The former lawyer was living under the name Dr. William Martin when he was arrested in his Palm Beach, Fla., mansion last year. Authorities caught up with him after Massachusetts state police got a tip that he was living in Florida.
By the time he was arrested, Fagan had married a prosperous land developer and was driving expensive cars and was a member of some of the most exclusive clubs in Palm Beach. He had fabricated a past that included a stint as a presidential adviser, chemist and CIA agent.
He admitted on the stand Friday that he hasn't held a job since he left Massachusetts where he was a supervisor at the Harvard Law School legal aid bureau.
His daughters, Rachael and Lisa Martin, thanked their father in court for what they considered his sacrifices.
"We do not feel victimized by our father," Rachael Martin said. "We are convinced that his actions were from his heart."
Kurth, who has remarried and is a biologist at the University of Virginia, has been unsuccessful thus far in reuniting with her daughters. While she sat with her mother and brother at one end of the courtroom Friday, the daughters sat with Fagan's current wife at the other.
"Those girls, we feel nothing but pity for them," said Kurth's brother, Peter Kurth. "They are pathetically deluded and they are going to pay for it the rest of their lives. We wish them well. They're going to need it."
At a news conference, the daughters said their father did not dupe them and said any reconciliation with their mother would be private. "We're clearly not brainwashed," Rachael Martin said. "We've been raised and live our lives as independent women."
Some legal observers questioned whether prosecutors sent the wrong message by allowing Fagan to avoid prison.
"Kidnapping is a very serious offense," said Wendy Murphy, a former prosecutor who heads the Victim Advocacy and Research Group, "and it's not less serious because a parent commits the act."

Juan Martínez Motañés (1558-1649) was one of the most important Andalusian sculptors and a great friend of Velázquez's father-in-law and teacher, Francisco Pacheco (1564-1644).
Dressed in black, with a starched white collar, the sculptor is shown modeling a wax or clay bust of Felipe IV (1605-1665) that was to be sent, along with a painting by Velázquez, to the Italian, Pietro Tacca (1577-1640) as a model for his bronze sculpture of the Monarch, which is now in Madrid's Plaza de Oriente.
His gaze, directed at the spectator rather than at the royal bust, is a defense of the intellectual nature of sculpting. This is an allegorical device Velázquez would repeat in his self-portrait in Las Meninas (P01174).

Stetson University - Comments and Student Experiences
The biology department is my absolute favorite thing about Stetson!!!! I love our professors and I have honestly enjoyed every single biology class I have taken so far. I love walking down the hallway and knowing where EVERY PROFESSOR'S office is, and that they are willing to stop what they are doing and help me for a few minutes, without an appointment! Even professors whom I have never actually had class with before have helped me when I really needed it (try getting that kind of personal attention at a larger public school!).
We're not JUST about academics though (we're not a bunch of nerds!) As a Stetson Student you don't just attend classes and take tests. We are encouraged to get involved in other areas on campus including; religious life, greek-life; sporting events, volunteering, etc.
Even though our campus is small... we are active! We have so many student organizations and clubs I can't even keep track, and most students are involved in at least 1, if not 2-3 of these groups. We're very active in the DeLand community as well (lots of local businesses give Stetson Student Discounts!).
There is always stuff to do and most of it is actually entertaining and fun. That includes both school provided activities and just other general stuff to do. The town of Deland really isn't that bad either. The two main bars in town are not really, "hick bars." Maybe if you go like Friday night but Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday night are a crazy amount of fun. I mean and if you're ever bored, there's always enough drunk college girls jumping around the stripper pole at half time (one of the two main bars) to keep you at least somewhat entertained. And I mean, considering that I grew from New York and don't mind the bars should really mean something...
The classes really aren't that bad, the work load is somewhere about in the middle - not too hard but not a breeze either. The teachers are INCREDIBLY helpful and a good thing is that they don't smother you; meaning like since the classes are small you would think it would suck because they could keep on eye on you all the time and know when you don't come to class etc. but they truly don't think like that. You really aren't a number in a class, so if you ever need to take a test at a different time, or really if you do very bad on a test or had some kind of problem, you could probably talk to your teacher and they might come up with some kind of re-take or extra credit or something.Overall don't listen to these reviews, it's a lot of fun, there really isn't too much drama and everyone is pretty accepting. Yes there are some cliques and whatnot but it's nowhere near as bad as most high schools and exclusion really isn't much of a problem. Also, the fraternities and sororities are pretty chill (btw any guys reading this, rush Pi Kappa Alpha, sweet, thanks) All of the sororities are chill and even the few that used to be considered lame are now on the move up so pretty much all of the sororities are on the same level. Just come visit and see for yourself, it's a pretty sweet deal going on here...seriously.

LAS CRUCES >> Artist Consuelo Oritz said her new Cactus Flower Gallery is the fulfillment of a long-held dream.
On Fourth of July weekend, she had a grand opening, but she began attracting visitors shortly after she put up her sign at 517 N. Mesquite St., right next door to a neighborhood landmark, the Sunshine Grocery.
"I like this place a lot. I found something to buy today and I'll be back," said Teresa Pacheco, who visited the gallery with her small daughter and son, a budding artist himself.
Ortiz patiently asked the boy questions about his artistic interest and accomplishments as the family perused three art-filled rooms, which contain everything from artistic gift items to consignment works by regional artists and a large collection of multimedia works by Ortiz.
Her range is extensive.
"I've done a little bit of most things: embroidery, needlepoint, wood carving, pastels, pottery, jewelry, watercolors. But oil painting is my favorite," Ortiz said.
On exhibit are several kinds of pottery, her stained glass works, mosaics, needlework and paintings.
"She's a really good artist. She used to teach pottery at the Munson Center and she does other kinds of art. Her jewelry is beautiful," said artist Pat Lawrence of Las Cruces.
All that was put on hold while Ortiz battled cancer. She's now cancer free, she said, and ready to resume her dreams.
"When I retired, I made up my mind to come back to this area and we looked at Santa Fe and Taos. I retired early, on disability, and we came here and really liked Las Cruces and moved here in 2002," she said.
Originally a native of Juárez, Chihuhua, Mexico, she moved as a child with her family to Salinas, Calif., where she grew up, married Peter Ortiz, raised a family and eventually worked for the government as an employment counselor. She was assigned to FEMA teams who helped Northern Californians recover from the devastating 1984 San Francisco earthquake.
In 1989, at the urging of her husband, she decided to pursue her interest in art.
"He said to me, 'So why don't you do it?' I'd never even drawn or taken an art class in school. I remember drawing a cross-section of a heart once and was told it was the best one in the class, but nothing else. I thought it was too expensive to take a class and get all the supplies, but my husband gave me $300 and said, 'It's time.'"
It was. She ended up selling her very first painting, and several thereafter.
"I wasn't exhibiting then, but my paintings just seemed to sell themselves, by word of mouth," she said.
She particularly enjoys painting landscapes, but is hard-pressed to choose her favorite medium.
"I think oil painting is my favorite, but I'm torn between painting and pottery. I just can get my hands off pottery. There's something about the feel of clay and the serenity. I get into a different world.
Encouraged by classes and independent studies that included art books, she honed her skills and eventually started teaching herself in her home and at Munson Center.
"I was very impressed with all the talent and beautiful work I saw at Munson," said Ortiz. "I wanted people to see it, so I feel like I've made history in Las Cruces by helping to start the Creativity is Ageless exhibits at city hall."
She has exhibited in California with the Salinas Art Association and in Southern New Mexico, at Munson and with the Las Art Association, and at Sweet Monkey Treasures, a small shop she shared with a partner in Ruidoso.
One of the rooms at her gallery is devoted to regional artists, currently including Evelyn Smith, Pat Lawrence, Margaret Mclivoy, Audrey Hembree, Charlotte Olesky and Mary Barce, and she welcomes inquiries from other consignment artists, she said. She is also planning to offer workshops with other artists.
Cactus Flower Gallery, located at 517 N. Mesquite St., will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. For information, call 210-749-1719 or visit Ortiz during gallery hours.

Forgotten Hope Secret Weapon (FHSW) is an unofficial continuation of the famous Forgotten Hope (FH), a Battlefield 1942 modification. We say unofficial since FHSW is developed by FH fans, not the original FH creators. In 2007 it started as a small addon but since then it has grown to be one of the biggest mods of all time! What makes this mod special is that it adds lots of - but not only - Secret Weapons which saw limited or no action at all during WW2 like jet fighters and super heavy tanks. Some of the maps feature "what-if" battles like a landing operation on the Japanese mainland or attacking a secret German base in the African desert.

I told you guys in my last post that I would follow up with my final opinion on Happy • Calm • Focused, also known as HCF, after I had faithfully used it for 30 days. Well, the verdict is in.
I really like this product and it delivers what it says it will deliver.
In my original post I gave you a listing of the different vitamins and minerals which are in the product. There is no need to run back to that post because I will give it to you again in this one.
What is Happy Calm Focused?
Happy • Calm • Focused is a non-GMO, gluten free product which is also preservative free, fragrance free and with no chemicals, chemical coatings, yeast, dairy, nuts or wheat. It has a special proprietary blend of amino acids DL-Phenylalanine and L-Glutamine and the following vitamins and minerals:
- Vitamin A
- Vitamine E
- Vitamin B1, B2, B3, & B6
- Folic Acid
- Vitamin B12
- Biotin
- Vitamin B5
- Calcium
- Iron
- Magnesium
- Zinc
- Chromium
My primary reason for being willing to try this product is that I have struggled like crazy with brain fog and short-term memory issues since I've been fully menopausal. I also struggle with high levels of anxiety, due in my opinion, almost entirely to stress from graduate school and a never ending battle with a jack-ass ex-husband.
But he's gone now. Ask me if I'm happy.
I've also been having a tough time with not sleeping well. I wake up several times during the night, though I take 200 mgs nightly of bioidentical progesterone for sleep (and it does help). But, I am convinced it is because of my stress level and anxiety.
However, regardless of the source, I needed some relief and felt like it certainly wasn't hurting me to try it. Especially since it is an excellent product filled with much needed vitamins and minerals.
How Do You Take Happy Calm Focused?
The directions say to take 3 caps on an empty stomach with a glass of water before breakfast for maximum absorption. For those of you who might be worried about nausea with taking such a large quantity of vitamins and minerals on an empty stomach, it was a non-issue for me.
I did notice one morning that I was feeling a bit sick to my stomach, but that was only after several cups of coffee. Which is not unusual for me, by the way. Caffeine will make me nauseous if I do not eat fairly quickly after drinking a few cups.
So, I will chalk my nausea up to that rather than the product.
The first day I took the product, I reported that I immediately felt more alert and clear minded. That has not changed over the past 30 days. I still feel the positive effects of being mentally steady, more alert, and focused.
Though I still struggle with anxiety I am very aware of the source of it – can you say ex-husband? And frankly, unless I completely anesthetize myself, I don't see where any supplement is going to help with that, you know?
Does it Work?
My final assessment of Happy • Calm • Focused is that it is a good product which does what it says it will do. But it is NOT a cure-all ladies!
I don't believe in anything being a cure-all, and I'm sure you all don't either.
However, if you're looking for a good, quality supplement which has positive benefits and delivers as it says it will, I would definitely recommend it.
My only complaint about the product is the price. It is expensive in my opinion.
$40 will give you a 1-month supply – 90 caps. So, it may not be cost-effective for you.
I have already bought another bottle because I was very happy with the results and think it is worth the expense for me.
But, as with everything, you will need to weigh the cost-benefit for yourself.
You can check out their website here where you can purchase the product from them directly, or you can plug in your zip code to locate a store near you. There are none in my neck of the woods. Which is fine with me, because I prefer online shopping. If you would rather buy online you can also buy here at Amazon as well.
If you try it, let me know what you think. And please do join us at Facebook!

Mini Q&A
answers by Erlend Grefsrud, Co-Founder
Why do you make games?
For the challenge the opportunity to explore and maybe help define an emerging art form.
I think in terms of games -- some people have story ideas, some invent riffs or write melodies, their imagination finely tuned to particular modes of expression.
Mine is games. I come up with structures and systems for games, and I have to make them.
Why should people play your games?
They're aesthetically unique, and I don't just mean "they look neat". I care a whole lot about how things feel, how input and player intent and decisions are represented, amplified, diminished in the game, how the player shapes the game system.
I want to make games where players have lots of influence over the game rather than being funnelled through authored content. I want players to express and perform, not just trundle along I path I've drawn.
What element of game design do you hold above all others
Kinaesthetics, the raw moment-to-moment affect of motion. The parts of a game that encourage flow or zoning or whatever you wanna call it, the things that help you fully concentrate on and be absorbed by the game.
The way the game talks to the player not with words but with motion and dynamics.

I like when he says, " I come up with structures and systems for games, and I have to make them." - I am the same way, I come up with games ideas, only thing is, I just wish I could make them..
-Has to be pretty cool to be able to do what you Love to do..
||.........___||............ ||
I hope Myriad does well. I can especially see the Vita being a good platform for it. Just make it compatible with the stick controls as well, so the PlayStation TV doesn't make it entirely redundant.
Hopefully it gets some vita love =D
That's the sort of thinking needed in the industry with the stagnation of big-name games over the years.
Thanks for understanding,
It just adds to the mystery surrounding what the game is trying to accomplish. It sounds ambitious, hopefully it gets well executed.
Perhaps their artistic perspective will give us something unexpected, sometimes words limit what our imagination can do.

That's a very interesting response. We don't usually think of Kinaesthetics when we think of game design.

Prosecutors dismiss murder charge against GregaAugust 21,2013Staff Report
BRATTLEBORO - An aggravated murder charge against John Grega, a Long Island, N.Y., man charged with killing his wife in 1995, has been dismissed, because of difficulties with additional DNA testing.
The dismissal of the second murder charge against Grega comes a year after his 1996 conviction was dismissed, and a new trial ordered, because of new DNA evidence.
Windham County State's Attorney Tracy Shriver announced late Wednesday that murder charges against Grega would be dismissed without prejudice because of difficulties finding a lab to do necessary DNA matching of evidence taken from Christine Grega's body.
Shriver, in a joint statement with Vermont Assistant Attorney General Cindy Maguire, said they "remain committed to continuing this investigation to seek justice for Christine Grega and her family."
In 2012, new DNA testing had revealed the presence of an unknown man's DNA in her body, the discovery of which resulted in a judge ordering a new trial.
Grega's case was one of the first to be renewed under Vermont's Innocence Project, which allowed for DNA testing in old cases. During Grega's original 1996 trial, DNA testing was not used routinely in criminal cases in Vermont.MORE IN This Just In

We all feel angry sometimes. If your anger is controlling you, or if people around you are saying you seem frustrated alot, it might be time to talk to someone about it. Because I understand the healthy role of anger in relationships, we will identify what is prompting your chronic frustration, defuse it, and help you return to a happier state of mind and more satisfying relationships.
Anger is an important part of our lives. Unfortunately, most people are not shown how to manage anger. In fact, most people (including our media) encourage explosive anger. Anger can either be destructive or freeing. Our culture promotes explosive anger. It is often labeled as "my rights" or being "assertive". Reality T.V. is one of the greatest purveyers of this myth.
Anger is often experienced as being able to be "controlled". That is just not true. It feels true because there isn't much talk about healthy ways of dialogue around why we are angry and choices that offer different outcomes. There are different outcomes. They are life giving and freeing.
If you are dealing with uncontrolled anger, treatment and help through anger counseling Syracuse NY will give you new resources and strength to overcome.

PDEtools[CanonicalCoordinates] - compute canonical coordinates for a given symmetry
Calling Sequence
CanonicalCoordinates(S, DepVars, NewVars, CanVar, options=value)
list with the infinitesimals of a symmetry generator or the corresponding infinitesimal generator operator
function or list of functions indicating the (old) dependent variables of the problem
(optional) function or list of functions representing the new dependent variables (canonical coordinates)
(optional) the name of the dependent variable with respect to which canonical coordinates are to be computed
jetnotation = ...
(optional) can be true (same as jetvariables), false (default), jetvariables, jetvariableswithbrackets, jetnumbers or jetODE; to respectively return or not using the different jet notations available
simplifier = ...
(optional) indicates the simplifier to be used instead of the default simplify/size@simplify@combine
Given a list with the infinitesimals of a symmetry generator, or the corresponding infinitesimal generator differential operator, the CanonicalCoordinates command computes a transformation from the dependent and independent variables of the problem to the canonical coordinates of the symmetry. This is the change of variables transforming the given list of infinitesimals into one consisting of zeros but for one element equal to 1. The corresponding transformed infinitesimal generator is thus of the form
where uj is a canonical dependent variable for a problem with m dependent variables.
There exist thus m different sets of canonical coordinates leading to infinitesimals generators of the form above with different uj. To choose among them use Canvars to tell the name of the dependent variable of the problem with respect to which the canonical variables are computed. Canvars is not required when there is only one dependent variable.
When there is only one dependent variable, DepVars and NewVars can be represented by a function; otherwise they must be a list of functions representing dependent variables. If NewVars are not given, CanonicalCoordinates will generate a list of globals to represent the canonical coordinates.
Optionally, a simplifier can be specified to be used instead of the default which is the composition of simplify and combine followed by a simplification in size.
To avoid having to remember the optional keywords, if you type the keyword misspelled, or just a portion of it, a matching against the correct keywords is performed, and when there is only one match, the input is automatically corrected.
Consider a PDE problem with two independent variables and one dependent variable, ux,t, and consider the list of infinitesimals of a symmetry group
In the input above you can also enter the symmetry S without infinitesimals' labels, as in x,1,u. The corresponding infinitesimal generator is
In canonical coordinates -say r,s,vr,s - the infinitesimals of this symmetry are _ξr=0,_ξs=0,_ηv=1. The transformation from the original variables t,x,ux,t to the canonical coordinates r,s,vr,s is obtained via
In the input above, instead of S you can also pass the symmetry without infinitesimals' labels, as in x,1,u. You can also pass the infinitesimal generator differential operator G as first argument instead of the list of infinitesimals S
Solving now for t,x,ux,t you can change variables in the infinitesimals S or its corresponding differential operator G using ChangeSymmetry, achieving the expected form _ξr=0,_ξs=0,_ηv=1
If vr,s is not indicated, variables prefixed by the underscore _ to represent the canonical variables are introduced
To obtain the output in any particular jet notation, useful to perform computations with objects of type, name, e.g., differentiation with respect to a function but represented by a name, use the jetnotation option; compare for instance the output (4.5) with the following output

Urodynamics testing consists of a group of tests that allow your child's doctor to evaluate how his/her lower urinary tract works. The lower urinary tract includes the bladder (which holds the urine) and the urethra (which is the tube that carries the urine from the bladder to the outside). Your child's doctor will use this diagnostic information in conjunction with your child's symptoms/complaints and physical exam findings to develop a personalized treatment plan. The urodynamic procedure may include a combination of several tests, including:
Uroflow meter equimpment
There are many reasons why a child may need urodynamics testing. Some of the more common reasons include:
- Urinary leakage or incomplete bladder emptying.
- Spina bifida, spinal cord injuries or other neurologic conditions that may affect bladder or sphincter function.
- Not emptying the bladder completely.
- Frequent urinary tract infections.
Please notify the Urology department prior to your child's appointment if there is any reason he/she may need antibiotics before invasive procedures such as dental cleanings, for example. Consult your physician if you have any questions.
- Your child should eat and drink as he/she normally would. A urine specimen will be collected before the procedure, so we encourage a full bladder.
- Your child will meet the nurse and/or technician who will be
attending to him/her during the testing. For children of the
appropriate age and ability a urine specimen will be obtained at the
outset. The urine specimen will be analyzed quickly to assure there is
no infection present. The child will then be asked to disrobe from the
waist down and sit covered with a drape on the examination table.
Cystometry in a female patient
- Three small sensory patches may also be placed to monitor pelvic muscle activity during the procedure. These are usually placed near the rectum and groin. This portion of the exam comprises the electromyogram (EMG) and records pelvic floor muscle activity.
- During bladder filling the child will be asked questions to assess whether or not he or she feels the first urge to urinate, when that urge becomes strong, and when that urge is strong enough that the child feels he/she must urinate.
- The child may also be asked to perform certain tasks during the test if appropriate based on the child's age. These tasks include coughing and straining to try to provoke the bladder and document the bladder responses.
- The exam/procedure table will then be adjusted for the child to attempt to urinate once the bladder is full or the child indicates that his/her bladder is full. The bottom half of the table will be removed and replaced with a specially designed toilet seat.
- At the appropriate time, the child will be asked to urinate with the tubes in place. The tubes are specially designed to allow the fluid to come out around them. The urine will be collected in a beaker that rests on a flow meter that measures the force and volume of the child's urine flow. This represents the pressure flow study portion of the exam.
- Again, the fluid filling the bladder may be a sterile dye that can be monitored on an X-ray machine that allows us to take pictures as the bladder fills and empties to show us what the bladder looks like during these phases. You and your child will be able to view these pictures during the exam.
- After the bladder is emptied, one more X-ray picture may be taken. The catheter, rectal tube, and sensory patches will then be removed and the patient will be cleaned and allowed to redress.
We encourage the child to drink plenty of clear liquids over the course of the day, especially immediately following the exam. This will minimize the risk of infection and help reduce the discomfort of having had a catheter in place. The more often the child can void following the exam, the quicker the discomfort will pass.
- Please notify your doctor if any symptoms of infection develop following the exam, including:
- Fever/Chills
- Pain with urination that persists more than 24hours
- Bloody or cloudy urine
- Foul-smelling urine
After the urodynamics testing is completed, your child's doctor will meet with you to review the findings and discuss management options based on these results. Treatments will be tailored to your child and the specific results obtained in conjunction with your child's physical exam and symptoms.
Thank you for choosing the University of Virginia's for your child's urologic care.

Roberto Mancini believes Edin Dzeko's four-goal haul in the 5-1 victory over Tottenham is confirmation the Bosnia-Herzegovina striker is now ready to make an impact on the Premier League.
Dzeko struggled last season, scoring twice in 15 league appearances following his £27 million move from Wolfsburg, but has now scored six in City's opening three league fixtures, and was also on target in the Charity Shield defeat against Manchester United.
Mancini is delighted to see Dzeko finally show his quality and the Italian said: "I was sure that Dzeko could score a lot of goals here in the Premier League. He has scored always in his career, at every club where he has played."
Dzeko admitted he had taken time to settle but he feels comfortable in his new surroundings now. "Last time I scored four goals was in Germany in a game against a Third Division side in the Cup," he said. "To score four goals in the Premier League is fantastic. I always had a lot of confidence in myself. I wasn't 100 per cent fit when I first came in January, but I feel better and stronger now."
City have won their opening three games, scoring twelve goals in the process and the introduction of Samir Nasri for his debut alongside Sergio Aguero, the scorer of City's other goal at White Hart Lane, confirmed they possess a potent threat. Mancini was frustrated, however, that his side allowed Younes Kaboul to head a consolation for Tottenham and insisted it was too early to get carried away by City's start.
"I'm disappointed only with the goal we conceded, only for this," he said. "We need to pay more attention in this situation. It was important we started the season well. The games coming up will be very hard and we won't score three or four in every game, this is impossible."
Unsettled Spurs
Spurs have now lost their opening two league games, conceding eight goals in the process and manager Harry Redknapp admitted the club has been through an unsettling time. Luka Modric has been repeatedly linked with a move to Chelsea who are reported to be considering tabling a final £40 million offer before the transfer deadline on 31 August. And striker Peter Crouch has been touted for a switch to Stoke City.
Redknapp believes the uncertainty has done nothing to help his plans and revealed Modric approached him before the City game to ask to be left out, before the manager convinced the Croatia international to play. "The game was disappointing, but I feel we've had a terrible pre-season," Redknapp said.
"There's been a feeling round the place, for me, it's not been right. People going, people wanting to go. Crouchy to Stoke in the papers every day and we have to play him. I don't know where that's come from. No one's ever told me that he's going to Stoke. It's all been a bit unsettling, but they're a good side.
"I played Luka today even though he came to see me before kick off and he told me he didn't feel his head was right. I told him he needed to play. I had injuries in midfield. He's our main man. I needed him to play."
Redknapp believes Modric has been distracted by talk of a possible move but insisted the player will stay. He said: "His head's been turned. It's probably been turned again last night. We all know what goes on in the game.
"Anyone who thinks he's not being told what's going on is dreaming. Something happened last night, I don't know what. He was ok to play yesterday morning."
Redknapp also confirmed Rafael van der Vaart left the pitch with a torn hamstring and that he remains interested in signing West Ham midfielder Scott Parker and Manchester City striker Craig Bellamy. He said: "Scott Parker is a player we've always been interested in, but at the moment we've not signed him. He's on the radar, along with a lot of other players. I like Bellamy, he's a possibility."

This is my absolute favorite foundation. By pro-longwear it really does the job lasts all day and night and your skin just looks better and better by the hour. It gives a beautiful matte finish. I always get compliments on my makeup. I'm on my second tube and I wear it almost everyday and it lasts me about 6 months.

Overall I am pretty impressed with this foundation. I was matched to N18 which is a perfect match to my skin tone. I apply this overtop of a moisturized and primed face using a beauty blender. I usually need about 2 pumps of product to get a decent medium/full coverage. I set it with MAC's translucent powder, and I'm good to go. I have super oily skin, and no matter what I use on my face, my foundations usually slide right off by mid day. I do not have the same problem with this foundation...I do get a bit of shine but the foundation stays put. This foundation also feels great, it doesn't feel heavy or cakey at all. I also didn't notice any oxidizing problem with this either. Lasts the full day and still looks good at the end of the day.
Good color match
Good coverage
Great oil control
Hides imperfections well
Lasts all day
Feels light on the skin
Price...need to use a lot of product for full coverage

Love this foundation! I used to use it a lot but the color I have is nc15 and it's way too dark for my pale skin. I found it in my makeup collection and it's perfect for summer for me. Stays on great, doesn't get oily, perfect coverage, love it

Great foundation! It's not my holy grail, but it's a great foundation to try.
I was quite disappointed though the first time I tried it, because the lady there matched me to a colour that I found too dark and yellow. I came back though, and I told a different girl about it and she matched me to my perfect colour.
The packaging is what I look for, it has a pump which I always appreciate greatly. The only thing is though, is that product tends to get in those corners around the pump, but it's easy to clean up.
The coverage is so so lovely. It has medium to full coverage, so depending on how many layers you apply, the coverage will vary. I usually opt for one, but if I need it I'll go for two. It's very blendable no matter how you apply it.
Finish is also very beautiful. I wouldn't say that it's dewy, but it's not extremely matte. I found that it made my skin look really nice though.
The lasting power is what I love though! It lasted me through a whole day of school and work, and still managed to look good by the end of the day. It did get a bit oily in my t-zone but it managed to cling on.
Definitely will repurchase this foundation.

My new HG!!! I've been using fix fluid for more than a year already. I really liked that one as my daily use. But my skin gets dry alot nowadays and it makes my makeup look really cakey. So I decided to try this one instead. And I really love it! It's easy to blend and the coverage is awesome! I only use really tiny dots of concealer on the scars I need to cover and im good to go. It's important to set it with powder. After 5-6 hours, I feel my face gets a bit oily but it looks dewy instead of greasy. Overall, im really in love with this one now!

This product is amazing! It's an original simple piece from MAC which is loved by many! I originally purchased this is the shade NW25 but i found this wasn't my shade! MAC was unable to refund and I was very disapointed as I was matched incorrectly by the women on the desks! I went back and was matched again to find my actual shade was NC20! This shade was amazing to my skin colour! I cannot find a foundation this good of a match! The consistency was also amazing! It was a thick creamy texture which didn't cake! Although to set this foundation, I used MAC skin mineralising powder in NC20! With this combination, all my blemishes were covered and almost invisible! My only complaint is the price! Costing £24.99 I believe this is too much for a foundation!!

I purchased this foundation after researching and reading mixed reviews. After much consideration I decided to commit. I have used Mac's BB cream so I knew what to expect in terms of quality. I am not a consumer that is sold based solely on packaging as it matters very little. What's inside is what counts; however, I am pleased with the pump.
When applying I place dime sized dots (or smaller) in my T zone, etc. I build if necessary (usually isn't). So far I like the consistency and coverage the product offers. A little goes a long way. My makeup stays in place and looks very nice. I do feel the need to cleanse more thoroughly at night because the product is so rich hence the name pro long wear.

This is, hands down, the best foundation I've ever used. I say that after repurchasing five times. My skin is somewhat acne prone and this has never broken it out. It stays put through sweat, tears, swimming, exercising, long nights in the library- you name it, this foundation can withstand it. The color match was spot on and bottle lasts for about a year, so the price isn't an issue. I usually set this with Coty Airspun or Revlon Photo Ready powder, as the foundation does not prevent oil from showing through.

I went on a hunt to find a foundation that would last all day long for the type of skin that I have. My skin is oily on my chin and my T-Zone, I went to my local MAC store because I have heard and read a ton of amazing reviews on all of their foundations. The staff was super friendly and I told them what I was exactly looking for in their foundations, so they match me at the NC15 (which makes me sad cause that means I lost my summer tan AHHH!!!) they applied the foundation on my cheek and I like the way it felt and I love that packaging that they foundation came in... a pump that you and lock that way it's easy to travel with so it doesn't make my makeup bag dirty. I purchased it at 33 dollars which I thought was reasonable for a high-end foundation. I tried it out on a clear complexion and I liked it at first, intill a few days into my "trial" with this foundation, I began to break out on my T ZONE and my chin. I thought maybe I wasn't doing my skin care routine not up to expectation. Even when I broke out, I wanted to see what the coverage was like.. and to say the least, I was extremely disappointed. I found that my cheap-ol-drug store foundations cover up WAY BETTER. So I stopped using it for a while that way my skin could breathe and not freak out, and wore it again and the same issue occur. I broke out (please keep in mind I wash my hands before I put on makeup and wash ALL makeup brushes every 7-10 days). MAC Pro longwear foundation is definitely not for me. I had really high hopes and expectations for this foundation, but sadly, I would not be repurchasing.

This stuff oxidizes really badly and the shades are off to begin with.
I have nc15 and when I hold it next to mac f&b in c1 or SFF in nc15- you can see PLW is wayyy pinker and darker.
I can understand the darker but I don't understand why it is so pink if it's an nc shade.
When I first apply it it is already not a match bc the undertone is so off- then it oxidizes and it's like a pinky/orangey (so I guess peach) weird tone that makes me look like a weird floating peach head on a pale yellow neck. It's not severe but it's definitely not doing me any service--
To me it is a bit dewier than a satin- it's a full coverage too- so I don't really like the combination. Full coverage+ dewy is just oily and uncomfortable to wear on the skin.
Finally this sinks into my pores and cakes in my fine lines
Long wearing
Awesome packaging/ has a pump
Shades are off
Feels heavy and oily on the skin
Cakes in lines and pores
