Glenelg Shire Workshop: March 18 2012
The Southern Grampians and Glenelg Primary Care Partnership (SGGPCP) recognize the impact of Climate Change on health outcomes for our community. Publication of Climate Change Adaptation: a Framework for Local Action by PCP in 2008 identified five areas of action to reduce the direct impacts of climate change. These areas included household energy use. SGGPCP conducted a demonstration project with a small township (Merino) which led to the current Pass the Parcel Project which is funded by Sustainability Victoria. This project has enabled further investigation of strategies to improve energy efficiency and comfort for low income households while building capacity of PCP partner agencies to respond. The SGGPCP strategic Plan
2009 - 2012 states that our vision is through capacity building for collaboration, enhance the health and wellbeing if our community.
Through the Deakin/DH/DHS Strategic Alliance Community Capacity and Engagement in Public Health Funding, SGGPCP partnered with Glenelg Shire to facilitate an Energy Efficiency Workshop for Home and Community Care (HACC) Support Staff and others working with vulnerable groups.
The Workshop
Kildonan Uniting Care has a long standing reputation working with the community around energy efficiency. Kildonan facilitator Sue Fraser ran the workshop for 20 HACC/ support staff from the Glenelg Shire.
The workshop enabled participants to consider the importance of energy efficiency while gaining a better understanding of the impact on their client group. Participants spent some time examining electricity bills and developing a better understanding of the information presented on the bill. Participants discussed household energy use and running costs for appliances. This conversation enabled further discussion around calculating running costs and using appliances appropriately rather than purchase of new appliances. A range of tips to save energy were presented and major discussion focused on transferring this knowledge to the client group.
The topic around assistance programs and financial counselling provided participants with a range of options to support their clients including financial counselling, hardship programs, rebates, the No Interest Loans Scheme(NILS), Good Shepherd Buying Service, CentrePay and links to other programs

Launch of G21's Early Years Report - Growing up in G21
G21 (Geelong Region Alliance's) Report "Growing up in G21: The health and wellbeing of children 0-8 years in the G21 region" was launched by the Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development, Wendy Lovell on Monday 17th October 2011
The G21 Geelong Region Alliance's Growing up in G21: The health and wellbeing of children 0-8 years in the G21 region paints a detailed picture of how local children are faring.Taking in the City of Greater Geelong, the Borough of Queenscliffe and the Surf Coast, Golden Plains and Colac Otway Shires, the G21 is a formal alliance
of government, business and community organisations. Recognising the importance of a child's early years, the report aims to build a regional picture of the challenges local children face, while recognising areas where they are flourishing. The results will be used to influence policy decisions and to
shape the services available to children aged 0-8 and their families. Ms Lovell congratulated members of the G21 Geelong Region Alliance on their achievement, and for their work in the community.
"The Victorian Government has a clear focus on the importance of the early years and your efforts to understand the needs of children in your region are complementary to that work," Ms Lovell said.
"Growing up in G21 recognises that building a regional picture of the lives of our youngest community-members is fundamental if governments and the community are to do more to promote their development and wellbeing."
Key findings from the report include:
- Children in the region are meeting or exceeding literacy benchmarks.
- Kindergarten participation rates are above the state average across the region, enhancing their development and better preparing them for school.
- A majority of parents say their region is a safe place to live.
- The region has a relatively high number of one-parent families.
- Immunisation rates are low compared to state levels, particularly for six year old children.
"Reports like this are crucial as they provide government and other agencies with a regional perspective of children, helping them to better understand the needs of children in the region," Ms Lovell said.

Community Capacity Building Workshop
The Process of Engaging and Empowering the Community
Camperdown Golf Club, 23 March 2011.
A Community Capacity Building Workshop, 'The Process of Engaging and Empowering the Community' was successfully held at the Camperdown Golf Club, 23 March 2011. The purpose of this workshop was to explore the diverse range of processes whereby communities can be engaged and empowered. The Workshop was well attended by 70 participants across a spectrum of practioners and managers in community health services and local government a swell as researchers and educators in the region.
The keynote Speaker: Professor Jane Farmer (La Trobe University) drew on her international experience and policy understanding to explore good practice in a diverse range of processes to engage and empower communities. Jane Farmer is Head, Rural Health School, La Trobe University (Bendigo). She was previously Chair, Rural Health Policy and Management, and Co-director, Centre for Rural Health, University of the Highlands & Islands (UHI), Inverness, Scotland. Jane has lead many research projects and written extensively on rural health services. (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Following the keynote address a selection of five best practice community capacity-building activities were showcased as small and interactive group discussions in a 'marketplace' format:
1. Pass the Parcel: A Story of Community development: Ms Joanne Brown, Project Officer, Southern Grampians Glenelg PCP provided an outline of the community development process used to engage the local community in understanding the opportunities and threats posed by climate change. Existing social networks within the community were engaged to distribute temperature data loggers (i buttons) and became the focal point to increase participation, interest and conversation in the program. (firstname.lastname@example.com)
2. Deadly Teeth: Ms Lynda Smith, Health Promotion Officer, Portland District Health outlined a project to improve the oral health status of Indigenous children (0-5 years) living in the Glenelg and Southern Grampians catchment area. Various workshops were held with children, families and Elders of the Winda Mara Aboriginal Corporation to discuss oral health priorities and concerns. Dental Health Services Victoria - Smiles4Miles program and three key messages- Eat Well, Drink Well and Brush Well were used as a basis for discussion. Results of these collaborative workshops with the Gunditjimara people to date include engaging an indigenous artist to depict the oral health messages on three canvases (displayed at the International Arts in Health Conference, 2010); developing 3 oral health family tip cards and an ongoing initiative to further develop an Indigenous specific oral health program (0-5 years). (email@example.com)
3. RU OK Day : Ms Toni Van Hamond, Manager, Headspace Barwon, Geelong provided an overview of this social marketing approach to raise awareness about suicide prevention and encourage individuals and community groups to reach out to others. RU OK Day aims to reduce the number of suicides each year. Research has shown that talking about suicide with someone at risk reduces the chance of them taking their own life. (email@example.com)
4. North Portland Neighbourhood Planning: Ms Fontella Koleff, Community Development Officer, and Ms Adele Kenneally, Group Manager, Community Development, Glenelg Shire Council developed a project to engage disadvantaged public housing residents in the North Portland area in the neighbourhood planning for their community. The program outlined a series of community events, open house forums and school holiday activities used to engage the community and encourage participation in neighbourhood planning. Three members of the public housing estate have been recently nominated as members of a foundation neighbourhood planning committee. (email@example.com) (firstname.lastname@example.com)
5. Food Security on the Northern Bellarine Peninsula: Ms Anita Thomas, Health Promotion Mentor, Bellarine Community Health Service, Point Lonsdale provided an overview of how Bellarine Community Health Services engaged the community of Bellarine Peninsula to better understand local health and wellbeing needs, and then identified suitable solutions to address them. The process outlined two phases of community consultation and engagement. Phase 1 - a concurrent process undertaking a community health and wellbeing needs assessment at local markets and conducting a comprehensive food security audit. Phase 2 - work in partnership with the community to identify and implement various strategies, including PortProduce (weekly fruit and vegetable market at Portarlington Primary School), a community kitchen in St Leonards, and a café meals program. (email@example.com)
In the afternoon participants choose from two concurrent sessions:
1. Creating community action plans for better health: The ANGELO (Analysis Grid for elements linked to Obesity) process and its application to health issues. Mr Chad Foulkes, Research Fellow, WHO Collaborating Centre for Obesity Prevention, Deakin University took participants through the ANGELO process - which has been successfully used in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga to engage communities in the design of effective community based obesity prevention interventions. The ANGELO process comprises four phases: i) a socio-cultural analysis of barriers to achieving health; ii) meetings with stakeholders to frame issues for discussion; iii) prioritisation workshops; iv) and drafting an action plan. (firstname.lastname@example.com)
2. Golden Plains Shire Community Capacity Building project: An award winning community capacity building approach and strategy. Ms Louisa White, Manager Community Development, Golden Plains Shire, unpacked the rationale behind the development of township and community plans within a rural shire and the process of facilitating community engagement, community ownership, as well as council and other organisations' support for community-driven priorities. (email@example.com)
Workshop Impact Evaluation Report: A preliminary review of workshop evaluation survey indicates the program was well received by participants. Content, information to engage with the community, variety of program and location all scored in the satisfactory to high range. The most popular presentations were the keynote speaker (Prof Jane Farmer) and the afternoon Golden Plains presentation (Ms Louisa White). These were closely followed by a high approval rating for the marketplace presentations with RUOK the most highly rated. An impact evaluation will be undertaken in the next few months to follow up three action outcomes indicated by participants in their evaluation form as well as other outcomes and network contacts.

SATA drives disappear/show errors, Puppy 2.16.1
Subject description: Never mind, I gave up on Puppy
I am new to this forum, but not new to Linux. I have some experience with Red Hat and I was running Samba file server on Damn Small Linux.
I searched the forum for a while, but could not find a problem similar to the one I am experiencing. Hopefully somebody have some answers.
I have a problem with Puppy Linux 2.16.1 and SATA disks.
# uname -a
Linux puppypc 188.8.131.52 #1 Thu Apr 19 07:47:47 PUP 2007 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux
I boot from flash drive.
The reason why I am using 2.16 and not some newer version is my built-in LAN hardware (Realtek RTL8111, I must use r1000 driver for it to work), but that's another story.
The problem with the SATA disks is that after some time (I did not measure how long exactly, I just left my computer running and when returned there was a problem) they start to show errors and ultimately disappear - 'fdisk -l' does not list them anymore. The 'pmount' utility does not detect them. The disk probe still shows the drive, however 'disktype' returns error:
# probedisk
/dev/sda|Direct-Access|ATA WDC WD20EFRX-68E
/dev/sdb|Direct-Access|CENTON CENTON USB
/dev/scd0|CD-ROM|USB 2.0 DVD-ROM
# disktype /dev/sda
--- /dev/sda
Block device, size 1.819 TiB (2000398934016 bytes)
disktype: Data read failed at position 0: I/O error
Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0
sd 0:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x00040000
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0
Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 1
Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 2
Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 3
sd 0:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x00040000
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0
The mobo is CDC-1/D2550. BIOS is setup to AHCI SATA mode, but it acted the same when it was set to IDE mode. In AHCI mode hot plug should be supported, but re-conecting the drive and power-cycling it does not help. Only reboot restores the disk and then the problem repeats.
I checked the disks for errors on another computer. They are clean.
Please tell me there is a solution other than changing the mobo?
Thank you.

For a test, you could try booting a newer Puppy from CD with the
boot option, and see if it still happens. You might also find that the newer Puppy comes with the driver for your LAN hardware.

Thank you for the reply.
I tried the puppy 4.3.1, but the driver did not work for my LAN (r8169 if I remember correctly). I sure will try and check again if the SATA disk behaves correctly in that version. If it does then perhaps I wil be able to compile LAN driver r1000 from the source code (I did so for DSL and my older mobo, which had a very similar LAN hardware) and use that one instead of r8169, so I could have the LAN going as well.
I could put some PCI card (I have one slot free in mobo), but this would make it impossible to close my mini-ITX enclosure.

I would try one of the Lucid 22.214.171.124 versions of Puppy.
You could also go back to the original Lucid 5.2.8.005
At the end of development, this version of Puppy had good driver support for hardware.
I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Thank you for the reply.
I temporarily put aside my attempts at Puppy Linux and now I am trying to install Ubuntu Server on a flash drive. I also have to deal with all sorts of power supply issues. The original PSU of my mini-ITX case failed and I bought a replacement on e-bay from Hong-Kong. This PSU will not power up if I connect SATA drive or any USB devices that are not self-powered to some of my USB ports. I actually have to power my SATA drive and USB CD-ROM from separate power supply and self-powered USB hub. The funny thing is, I have a properly working original external power brick (12V, 5A), I only replaced the PSU board that goes inside the case. I am not sure if I properly calculate the wattage output, but if we consider the output of the external brick: 12V/5A gives us only 60W. That may be not enough for modern mobos, but my previous mobo worked fine and the same brick could power 2 SATA drives from the board's connectors. My current CPU supposed to consume only 10W of power.
Well, my Ubuntu installation is at 83% now. I hope this works. If not, I will try your suggestion. Perhaps I will need a different PSU, because power issues can cause many weird symptoms, including disappearing disk drives.
Thank you kindly and have a wonderful year!

.... and not just PSUs - a dodgy CMOS backup battery can lead to vexingly weird symptoms not unlike those you have described.
If you have not already done so, I suggest you eliminate that possibility as a first priority. Be sure that contacts are super-clean.

Thank you for all the suggestions.
This is a new motherboard, but I did check CMOS battery as one of the first steps. It is fine and BIOS settings hold. This so far proves to be a problem with Puppy Linux. I wonder if perhaps my mobo is just not compatible with it. I installed Ubuntu Server 12.04 and so far it works great. I boot and run it from flash pen drive, however since this is just like regular HDD installation, I wonder how long that pen drive will last due to all the fs writes/updates that happen while complex OS is running? I want to keep it running from flash drive anyway, because it is very flexible and also easy to backup/replace the OS.
This was an interesting experience.
Thank you all for help and suggestions.
I will give Puppy another try in the future, once I have a suitable hardware to run it on.

If this will run on this computer, you should not be having problems running Puppy.
Probably just did something wrong.

SATA connectors are often cheap and crappy...and the cables are stiff which makes it worse....had had exactly the same symptoms and fiddling with the connectors was the cure/cause
thats it really... progress means cost cutting..
Those LAN cards do get handled better in later kernels by the way....there were some odd versions that are now taken care off by Lucid and later.

Thank you for all the answers and suggestions.
Bigpup, I don't know. I guess anything is possible, but now Ubuntu Server works fine for me on the same hardware, with the same flash drive, the same SATA disks.
You do know that Ubuntu Server 12.04 runs on kernel 3.13, while the Puppy distro I tried (2.16.1) ran on kernel 2.6? In case you missed that, it's a big difference right there. However kernel 2.6 should indeed support SATA.
Besides, what I could do wrong? I downloaded ISO image, burned CD, booted the system from that CD, let the system detect hardware and that's it. SATA disks would work for a while and then disappear. Does not happen on Ubuntu now. I guess what I did wrong was that I did not try Ubuntu right away.
I have many SATA cables and I tried all of them. That did not seem to make any difference with the problem I experienced on Puppy. Happened with every single cable I tried. As I said to bigpup, now that I installed Ubuntu Server, the SATA disks work fine. Same hardware, same cables.
I come from software development professionally, so it is not something unimaginable to me that there may be a problem on a software level in one operating system versus another with hardware support. It is especially true with Linux, coming in many different versions and flavors, which sometimes does not fully support this or that piece of hardware. That seems to be the case here. Interesting example is my previous Linux server that I ran on Damn Small Linux. The kernel 2.4 was not even supposed to support SATA (AFAIK, in 2.4 SATA support was not fully implemented, sometimes it worked, it depended on the used SATA controller/BIOS) and yet with my old motherboard my SATA disks worked fine. The same image of DSL (booted from the same pen drive) would not recognize my SATA disks on my new motherboard, regardless of what BIOS settings I used (advanced SATA or legacy IDE mode). That is definitely a problem with driver for the SATA controller on my mobo in Puppy.
Should I register a bug to help Puppy Linux community?

The only comment I'll make is that Ubuntu SERVER OS may have more complex device drivers being as its main purpose is that.
Does Ubuntu client work??

No, it isn't a bug, it is just that, as you quite rightly indicate, the drivers for newer SATA controllers had not yet been written when the kernels for these older Puppies were current.
None of the Puppies in the 2 or 4 series I've tried (2.15CE, and several flavors of 4.2n) can see the SATA hard disks on my 2012 and 2013 motherboards.
The versions of Puppy which draw from Ubuntu binaries ranging from Lucid Lynx (Lucid Puppy) to Utopic Unicorn (unicornpup, Quirky Unicorn) have no problem seeing my SATA drives.
Precise Puppy 5.7.1 has a good reputation for stability.

how did I miss that...yes SATA support would be very poor.. intel only more or less.
..puppies did not get to grips with SATA until later on even though such older kernels may have managed the job if configured to do so.

New synthetic offers a better glimpse into diabetes and the aging process
"A synthetic process developed at Yale University will allow researchers to study a key molecule involved in diabetes, inflammation, and human aging.
The new process synthesizes glucosepane, which is considered a critical chemical link in both diabetes and aging. It is also an independent risk factor for long-term microvascular complications in diabetes.
In a study published this week in the journal Science, senior author David Spiegel and his colleagues describe the new synthesis, as well as a new synthetic methodology, which may have applications beyond the current research."Read More at New synthetic offers a better glimpse into diabetes and the aging process.
The End of Life and Death
"In this exclusive interview series, we speak to Prof. Jack Szostak (Nobel Prize winning Geneticist), Dmitry Itskov (billionaire founder of the 2045 Initiative), Aubrey de Grey (Chief Science Officer of the SENS Research Foundation), Prof. Ezekiel Emanuel (Bioethicist and Fellow at the Centre for American Progress) and Prof. George Church (Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School).

Will Anti-Aging Drugs Lead To A Brave New World?
"Ponce de León's Fountain of Youth may soon be more than just a myth. According to Aubrey de Grey, a leading anti-aging researcher, there is likely a person alive today who will be immune to aging. This optimism stems from the promising field of longevity research, which has shed its reputation as a quackery-ridden fringe science. If clinical trials of anti-aging drugs prove successful, it would utterly transform society in far-reaching ways. Could today's generations live to see a world where 100 is the new 60?"Read More at Will Anti-Aging Drugs Lead To A Brave New World?.

Will Humans Ever Live 200 Years?
"When 116-year-old Gertrude Weaver died of pneumonia this week in Arkansas, she had held the title of world's oldest person for all of five days. And she was still a bit younger than 122-year-old Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment, who passed away in 1979 and holds the record for oldest human...
Futurists like Aubrey DeGrey have said that eliminating just a few diseases and coming up with new treatments for aging could lead to 1,000-year-old humans. DeGrey, who has been pushing his ideas on rejuvenation and life-extension, has gotten some deep-pocketed company in the past year."Read More at Will Humans Ever Live 200 Years?.

Control ALT, Delete Cancer
"Cellular immortality is a hallmark of cancers that distinguishes them from normal tissue. Every time a normal somatic cell divides, the DNA at the ends of its chromosomes, called the telomeres, gets shorter. When the telomeres shorten too much, an alarm signal is generated, and the cell permanently stops dividing and enters senescence or undergoes apoptosis. Telomere shortening thus acts as a biological mechanism for limiting cellular life span. Cancer cells, on the other hand, can become immortalized by activating a telomere maintenance mechanism (TMM) that counteracts telomere shortening by synthesizing new telomeric DNA from either an RNA template using the enzyme telomerase or a DNA template using a mechanism called alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT)."Read More at Control ALT, Delete Cancer.
A Long Interview with Aubrey de Grey on London Real
"Aubrey de Grey is a true frontiersman, daring to push out against what seems the most natural and unstoppable forces of nature - ageing. He's not just another voice though, he's a scientist and identifies ageing as a disease, one that can be cured with the right medicine. His work calls for serious scientific exploration of what causes tissue to age and to then find solutions to those components - what he calls the roadmap to defeat biological ageing. In fact, he believes that the first humans who will live to be 1,000 years old are already alive today!"Read More at A Long Interview with Aubrey de Grey on London Real.
Silicon Valley Is Trying to Make Humans Immortal—and Finding Some Success
"Peter Thiel, the billionaire co-founder of PayPal, plans to live to be 120. Compared with some other tech billionaires, he doesn't seem particularly ambitious. Dmitry Itskov, the "godfather" of the Russian Internet, says his goal is to live to 10,000; Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle, finds the notion of accepting mortality "incomprehensible," and Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, hopes to someday "cure death."
These titans of tech aren't being ridiculous, or even vainglorious; their quests are based on real, emerging science that could fundamentally change what we know about life and about death."Read More at Silicon Valley Is Trying to Make Humans Immortal—and Finding Some Success.
Are We Hunting Longevity In All The Wrong Places?
"Death—that was so last century. Here in the early 21st, it's all about life. More life. A lot more life.
Right now, anti-aging medicine is booming. For certain, the size of the market is a little hard to determine, but most estimates put it close to $300 billion. And growing.
Already, serious heavyweights like Google and Human Longevity Inc. (HLI)—the company founded by X Prize founder Peter Diamandis, stem-cell pioneer Robert Hariri, and genomics visionary Craig Venter—have entered the fray. And, of course, ideas about slowing the insults of time are everywhere."Read More at Are We Hunting Longevity In All The Wrong Places?.
To These Foundations, Aging is the Enemy
"You already know that, as we grow older, we become more prone to many kinds of ailments: cancers, heart disease, dementia, and others. Any number of private foundations are sponsoring research targeting one or more of these age-related conditions. Less common, though, are foundations that are taking on the aging process itself.
The Larry Ellison Medical Foundation used to be a leader in this area, but pulled the plug on such research in late 2013...
But Ellison was never alone in his "war on death." And two funders still searching for a modern-day fountain of youth are the Methuselah Foundation and the SENS Research Foundation. Indeed, they are partnering on finding treatments that basically make older people young again. "Read More at To These Foundations, Aging is the Enemy.
A Framework to Increase Longevity and End Aging
"Longevity is a subject close to my heart, and I've been following the career of today's guest for many years. Dr. Aubrey de Grey is a visionary and general strategist in the field of gerontology who applies the concepts of planning, investment, and risk management to the science of aging. With his strategic approach, he's created the seven "Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence" that offer a practical route to longer life.
Dr. de Grey may be the greatest activist for longevity of our time. He's the Chief Science Officer for the SENS Research Foundation, a not-for-profit organization funding research into longevity around the world. He's authored two books; Ending Aging: The Rejuvenation Breakthroughs that Could Reverse Human Aging in our Lifetime in 2008 and The Mitochondrial Free-Radical Theory of Aging, for which he received his PhD in 1999.
In today's interview we examine popular longevity strategies such as caloric restriction and telomerase therapies, as well as those stemming from his research. His contrasting viewpoints offer insight compared to what you might see in the press."Read More at A Framework to Increase Longevity and End Aging.
SENS Research Foundation Now Accepts Bitcoin Donations
"SENS Research Foundation is one of the few organizations persistently finding ways to move the needle, to speed things up, to bring more attention to the field. The scope of success here is at present only limited by funding: there are any number of scientists in the aging research community who would drop their present work in favor of SENS biotechnology to treat aging given the budget.
With that in mind, here is a little news for those who might have a few bitcoins left over after all the excitement of the past eighteen months or so..."Read More at SENS Research Foundation Now Accepts Bitcoin Donations.
Living to 150 is the new holy grail
"Age defiance is a staggeringly lucrative industry. Last year the global anti-ageing market generated more than $280 billion. By 2018 it will hit $400 billion. A new tribe is taking advantage of sophisticated scientific breakthroughs... this appears to be only the beginning of the new age of ageing. It's little wonder that the latest venture from Google, the most successful innovator on the planet, is ageing-related. Mere cosmetic enhancements are child's play to Google, which is on an altogether more ambitious trajectory...
Larry Ellison, CEO of the computer tech company Oracle and the fifth wealthiest man in the world, according to Forbes magazine, is the money behind the Ellison Medical Foundation, an anti-ageing biomedical research centre. The Californian venture capitalist Paul F. Glenn has endowed hundreds of millions to life-expansion research at Ivy League institutions such as Harvard, Princeton, MIT and Stanford. Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal and a Facebook board member, is a supporter of SENS, a research foundation specialising in rejuvenation treatments.
SENS is run by Aubrey de Grey, a British gerontologist who believes that the first person to live to 150 is already alive today – a view shared by federal treasurer Joe Hockey, who was ridiculed recently for making this exact claim while arguing the case for budget cuts.
"Rejuvenation biotechnologies are, very simply, medicines that restore the structure of the body to how it was in early adulthood, and thereby restore it to maximum physical and mental performance," explains de Grey, who also co-founded the Methuselah – a foundation whose aim, through tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, is to create a world by 2030 in which 90-year-olds can be as healthy as 50-year-olds. "By restoring the molecular and cellular structure of the body to that of a young adult, we will necessarily restore its function, too, which constitutes reversing ageing. Thus, people will remain truly healthy for longer, postponing the ill health that inescapably accompanies old age today.""Read More at Living to 150 is the new holy grail.
Exponential Medicine and Digital Healthcare
"Most people know that healthcare has rapidly become an information technology and health and medicine is changing exponentially.Just as technology is democratizing all aspects of life, no field is being disrupted more quickly than healthcare and the implications of digital will bring a trillion dollars worth of disruption to outdated diagnosis, treatment and delivery of healthcare. Moreover, the human race will live long enough soon to live forever as nanotechnology, robotics, Gene sequencing and AI cure age old problems."

Sun International: Striking workers go back to workComment on this story
Workers were happy to return to work following the settlement of a labour dispute with Sun City, Cosatu North West said at the weekend. "All workers are going back to work, starting from Saturday and Sunday, after a long discussion between management and worker leaders facilitated by the CCMA [Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration]," said Cosatu regional secretary Solly Phetoe. "All workers who were dismissed or suspended and those who were on a solidarity action are going back to work and the unions will be dealing with all issues that workers raised." On Friday, the CCMA said the strike had been resolved. Spokeswoman Laura Mseme said the SA Commercial, Catering and Allied Workers Union, SA Transport and Allied Workers Union, and Sun International business partners signed an agreement to end the week-long strike. Sun International spokesman Michael Farr said yesterday about 160 people at Sun City were being investigated for the theft of food and beverages. "Only 30 of these staff members are Sun City employees. The balance are employed by four external service providers." Phetoe said Cosatu would not rest until its workers were treated as human beings. "We will continue as the federation to defend and intervene when our members are exploited by anyone in this province." – Sapa

A surprised sound escapes her throat. Her eyes widen in fear and without a second thought she runs for her life.
The camera stays on the strange man and he is wickedly grinning.
The camera closes in on his eye to his brain that is transmitting memory neurons. The conjured memory is cloudy and red; someone is cutting up green onions quickly with a sharpened knife.

They accidentally cut the tip of their index finger off. Blood pours onto the knife and onions.
The memory fades and the man looks at his own hands. On his left hand, half of his index finger is gone. He looks back up and begins his pursuit on Shikauhno.

This drink is…AMAZING. i mean…really good
December 24, 2013
This right here is a deeelicious punch we made last weekend. It's simple, doesn't require too many ingredients, and the cherry vodka with limes and cranberries is the perfect touch.
December 23, 2013
Here are a couple of more reds to consider at different price points, but they both present good value.
December 22, 2013
Spicy, sweet with a hint of citrus, this mulled wine is a staple around Christmas time in Central Europe! Best enjoyed on cold winter nights and at outdoor Christmas markets.
December 21, 2013
Strong but refreshing, sweet but not too much so, and a balanced combination of flavors. It was like whiskey drinks were always meant to have a little kick of wine!
December 20, 2013
Hearty holiday meals with higher fat proteins call for wines with higher tannins. Dollar for dollar, these three Cabs stand out for how well they're drinking now and how well their priced:
December 19, 2013
Regardless of which holiday you celebrate, there is usually the need to have a party, or go to a party. A delicious French red is the perfect holiday wine idea!
December 18, 2013
This recipe, my friends, comes with a warning. CONSUME WITH CAUTION. There is something oh-so very drinkable – and almost weirdly addicting – about this Crock Pot mulled wine.
December 17, 2013
And while a glass of bubbly is always a classy and well received option, why not offer your guests something just as fizzy and fabulous, but a little gussied up? Our Sparkling Raspberry Cocktail is just the ticket – and we swear, it is as delicious as it looks!
December 16, 2013
The first cocktail I made I wanted to use smoke as an aroma rather than a component in the drink, adding another layer to the drink.
December 15, 2013
Moving beyond the virgin pinacolada and the apple margherita, here are fun and fruity ways to make a party come alive.
December 14, 2013
This bad boy is bold and warms you from your tongue to your toes.
December 13, 2013
The Aperol Spritz became my particular aperitivo of choice while in Italy. It is a perfect drink to start off your Christmas day feast this year.
December 12, 2013
Have you ever tried Italian hot chocolate? It's the best hot chocolate in the word! This my favorite drink when it's cold and rainy outside….a thick, rich and creamy hot chocolate, halfway between a drink and a spoon dessert.
December 11, 2013
It's time to turn our thoughts to Christmas. And what better way to get the season started than with a mouthwatering mug of Mocha Eggnog.
December 10, 2013
The drinking world boasts countless aficionados of Scotch whisky. Scotch, like most adult libations, can bring a little levity to the table or party.
December 9, 2013
Smoky Apple Cider is our new favorite sipping cocktail. The drink starts with a shot of brandy and a splash of mezcal, and is finished with hard apple cider.
December 8, 2013
The perfect holiday twist on the traditional White Russian.The pop of peppermint is the perfect addition to this drink.
December 7, 2013
A few years ago now (and maybe a few more) when I proposed to my wife I decided that I should source a really good French Champagne and make sure that my wife was thoroughly enjoying it before proposing.
December 6, 2013
This mulled wine is probably the coziest cocktail in the world. Thanks to fresh orange juice and zest, and a tiny bit of honey, it's fruity without being cloyingly sweet, and the combination of spices are guaranteed to warm you up from the inside out.
December 5, 2013
This "kick it up a notch" Sweet, Salty and Spicy Hot Cocoa has all the flavors your taste buds will love.
December 4, 2013
My blog is a mélange of wine and travel experiences, but sometimes we just need some wine recommendations for upcoming holidays like Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's Eve.
December 3, 2013
It was warm and soothing, just the thing I needed while fighting off a cold and the cold weather.
December 2, 2013
This smoothie recipe is a swirly, colorful delight that is fun to make with the kids. Made from peaches and low-fat yogurt.
December 1, 2013
This smoothie is a simple blend of fresh apple, protein packed Greek yogurt, cinnamon and nutmeg. It's great for a snack, dessert or as a quick breakfast.
November 30, 2013
This recipe, like most in Winter Cocktails, is pretty simple. Toast the spices, add the liquid ingredients, and gently simmer for a bit while the flavors come together.
November 29, 2013
For starters this drink is somewhat frilly, it's got mottled strawberries and champagne in it. Gentlemen, please don't turn up your noses until you try it. Heck it might surprise you.
November 28, 2013
I think this sangria is just as good without the wine. Instead of adding some pinot, replace it with extra club soda and apple cider. I like to go a little heavy on the cider because that's the best part.
November 27, 2013
If you've never been a Pumpkin Spice Latte fan, you should still give this one a try. Like the Starbucks' version, it's got lots of condensed milk, but unlike Starbucks' version, there's 100% pure pumpkin in it.
November 26, 2013
With fresh cranberries in season and ready to go, now is the perfect time to give a new twist to the French 75

About Me
Like my Facebook page!! https://www.facebook.com/romuphotography
Hello everyone. First of all, please note that this is a BUSINESS and not a hobby, so I do not work for free. I generally do not do TFP, except for my personal projects for my portfolio which most of the time involve some degree of nudity.
My work has been published in various magazines, and I regularly shot covers and editorials fort a local wedding magazine.
Above all, I'm an artist. My goal is to create something worth hanging in your living room.
My interests are:
1. Underwater
2. Art nudes
3. Themed shoots
But generally speaking, I'll shoot anything you pay me for.
About Escorts (acompañantes): I do not allow escorts at my shoots. Just like any other job, NO boyfriend, no mom or dad allowed at the time of work.
I prefer to work one-on-one to connect better with the model. I don't allow them because: 1. Escorts/bodyguards are a distraction to the creative process, they sometimes interfere with a photographer's direction of the model, and 2. Needing an escort implies that the photographer is somehow "dangerous", and no one wants to feel like they're a danger to others.
I encourage models to see how many models a photographer has worked with, and how many times he has worked with a model on more than one occasion, then decide if he's someone she would want to work with.
If you feel that you cannot do your work without an escort, you are in the wrong business/hobby.
Other info:
1. I do not pay anybody to take their photo, no matter the theme of the shoot or the amount of clothing involved.
2. For those rare TF jobs, prior to the shoot I always like to meet new models that I'll work with for the first time for a quick face-to-face talk. It helps break the ice and establish confidence.
3. I don't deal with parents, "managers", agencies, "representatives", etc. I work directly with models only, no exceptions.
4. We'll have a good time at the shoot, you won't get bored or anything. I'm very flexible and open to new ideas.
5. I take pride on my work, after the shoot, I spend MANY, many hours in the computer making my images stand out.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Someone is waiting for you to make the first move. Once it's made, sparks will fly, and there will be no going back. So be sure this is really what you want.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): What should be familiar territory doesn't seem to be at all. That's because a new person is involved, and this person changes everything. Pause to come up with an approach that will better suit the current scene.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): You know you're in love when no matter what a certain someone does you think it's just adorable. Others may not share your opinion, but you're so enamored that they'll probably think you are "just adorable," too.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): You got where you are by making a series of choices. You'll break them down in your head to figure out the particular choices that were the most effective. You want to repeat them in order to get to the next place.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You'll probably need to bounce from Plan A to Plan B. And be sure to make a contingency plan if that one doesn't work out, either. Luckily, whatever happens will be more fun than any of the previous plans.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You've always sensed that you were the rock in someone's life, but you'll feel it more now that he or she is leaning on you. Ground yourself, as this feeling could last through the weekend.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Being nice is important to you, not only because you think it's the right way to be, but also because you know that kindness is contagious. With your graceful handling of a situation, you'll teach compassion.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The one who finds the gold doesn't have to start the rush. You'll find a kind of treasure that has great value to you. You'll also be smart about what to share and when.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You'll be learning from someone else, possibly someone intimidating. Having more knowledge doesn't make a person better than anyone else, but it sometimes makes a person believe this is true.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In regard to a certain relationship, you make it seem like you are letting things unfold according to their own timeline. But truthfully, you're playing it cool, very much in control of the pacing.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A healing process is under way. You can't speed it along, but you can take good care of yourself, putting yourself in the kind of supportive environment that will allow nature to take its course.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): A loved one may openly disagree with you, starting a lively debate. You may actually enjoy the argument and gain something valuable from it. Diverse opinions and talents make a relationship strong.
Today's birthday (Nov. 2): This year brings a surge of personal power, and you'll conquer the fear that once held you back. December sees you rise up along a chain of command. January bonds you with a small group of like minds. Together you will be unstoppable. You'll invest in your appearance or transportation in March. May brings a windfall. Capricorn and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 28, 38, 41 and 2.

Marie Dorval: France's theatrical wonder. A Book for Actors
(Amsterdam/New York: Rodopi, 2007)
To trace the life of Marie Dorval through her turbulent times is to engage with a rare theatrical genius and the teeming literary, emotional, economic, and material dramas in which she was embroiled. Dumas, Vigny, Hugo, Sand, Gautier and many others mingle their creative and affective energies with Dorval's in a ceaseless dynamic interplay. This story also discloses the life in Marie Dorval's times: the poverty, the need to will one's survival, and the unimaginably trying circumstances in which theatre was performed, whether in the provinces or in Paris. The author also seeks to give us some real insight into the uniqueness of Dorval's acting techniques, simultaneously instinctive, viscerally natural, and studied, though more from life than instruction. A book for actors, yes; but a book, too, for lovers of the theatre and, beyond that, of the sheer improbable drama of existence. Bettina Knapp is a professor emerita of French at the Graduate Center and Hunter College.

Re: iCloud.com and mac.com in response to Sally Reid
Too many "it" in the post, confusing. The second sentence, "I don't remember which one it was..." - what's "it", the password, the account ID? Do you have multiple Apple IDs? Multiple icloud accounts?
Sally Reid Jul 6, 2013 9:03 PM
Re: iCloud.com and mac.com in response to pvonk
My bad.
OK. I went online to the apple's site to manage my apple ID. I went into the "forgot" password settings and set a new one. Problem is, that the apple ID only asks for the first half of the user name. It looks like I may have a few apple accounts.
I assumed that they were all the same and or linked to the same account? Guessing not?
For example, I went into my system preferences on my iMac and went under icloud to re-enter the new password. It regected the new one that I just created. But on my icloud account, it ends with @mac.com. Within my email, it has email@example.com.
Once I reset the password online, it won't accept the password anywhere but to log in to my apple account. Such as to log into write on this forum.
Hope this is less confusing. Might just need to visit a mac genius tomorrow... LOL

More to the point, we have a resounding endorsement of the cute little Olympus XA it's never been a push-over and makes me go into tailspin searching for one to rekindle an old and fun affiliation. The majesty of these falls probably sums it up as an enigmatic attraction in Yosemite that attracts photographers from all around the globe.
These photos were taken from the parking lot at the trailhead to Bridal Veil Falls. Since I only had one day, I didn't have much time for hiking, but I will definitely be back to Yosemite!

I'm having issues with the Roku box. See, since Netflix has combined so many television show seasons, the Roku box takes much longer to load. For example,
has 275 episodes. It takes about 5-6 minutes to load them. I'm hoping it gets faster in the future. There's also the issue of each episode playing after the previous one. As it stands, if I'm watching episode #200, at the end instead of going to #201, it jumps to a random episode.
Perhaps your Roku box needs a firmware update?
I have my Playstation 3 hard wired to my router, Netflix runs like a dream. Takes about fifteen seconds for that list of 275 episodes to load.
It also highlights the very next episode if I'm watching a TV series.
My Roku box was updated last week with the 1559 revision driver. It does not need a new update (I just ran update again just to make sure).

Rankings 1 - December 6
Well folks, I told you they would come and here they are. Sundays will be my heartfelt 'this is how I see it' rankings while I have developed a mathematical ranking system which I will explain and leave for Mondays this year. Hope you enjoy.
1 Duke 8-0
2 Pittsburgh 9-0
3 Ohio State 6-0
4 Kansas 7-0
5 Connecticut 7-0
6 Kansas State 7-1
7 Syracuse 8-0

25 Louisville 6-0
- Yes, UNC's win against Kentucky was a big win, but I'm going to need to see another quality win before I put them in my rankings.
- Vanderbilt is my 26th team for the week. Just missed.
- I don't necessarily think that Syracuse has won by enough in their games to justify a top 10 ranking, but the upside is there so I'm going to leave them at 7 for the time being. Could easily be down in the 15's but they just keep winning. We'll see how they do against Michigan State at the Garden on Tuesday.
- Butler put up more of a fight than I expected them to against Duke, but Duke is far and away the best team in the nation and I don't forsee them losing anytime soon.
- I am still very unimpressed with Baylor.
- Washington is still a quality team no matter how low they drop in the rankings. Losing to KTY and MST and blowing out other opponents by averaging 93.7 PPG.
- Anyone who thinks about giving Gonzaga a vote is a fool. 4-3 with an RPI ranked 143? I don't think so.
Best 2 conferences this year in no particular order are clearly the Big East and the Big Ten (12) this year. I don't want to hear the arguments for other conferences because they just aren't good enough. Sorry.

Syracuse vs. Rutgers
So in my previous post, I outlined the fact that Notre Dame, Georgetown, and Syracuse need to get off their slides, Georgetown more than any of those teams, but only one team has proven that they deserve to be in the tournament and that is Syracuse. Granted, the schedule has been a little lackluster, but their three consecutive blowout wins are exactly what the Orange needed to do to solidify a spot in March.
The game last night was particularly impressive for Syracuse, if you erase the fact that the first half actually existed. The Syracuse defense was lackluster, they weren't getting the rotation in the zone that they needed, and Rutgers started the game up 14-6. It looked like the Orange's offense was very still, and their drives to the hoop were getting rejected by the big men. The defense started to clamp down at about the 10:00 mark, allowing only 6 points the rest of the half. Cuse went into halftime down 20-19.
Boeheim must have said something at halftime, because Syracuse came out in the second half and outscored Rutgers 51-20 in the second. Paul Harris had a game high 18 points, with about four really nice slams and moves that would make the highlight reel. Senior Kristof Onganeat really stepped up his game and scored in double digits for the first time in a long time. The crowd has been recently rallying behind him ever since he got ejected from the game against Georgetown. The walk-ons came in at about the 4:00 mark left in the game, and all of the seniors on the team scored.
Rutgers looks so bad right now. They can't play a full 40 minutes, they have no offense, and they barely have a defense. The program isn't looking real good right now.
My favorite moment of the game was when the starters were all on the bench. They took their shoes off, signed them, and then started chucking them into the stands. It was quite dangerous, but the guy in front of me got one of Arinze Onuaku's shoes. It was pretty awesome.
Syracuse 22-8 (10-7) has put themselves into good position to lock up anywhere from a 5-7 seed in the tournament. Georgetown has absolutely no shot after losing to St. John's and Notre Dame has an outside chance of making it in. If the committee puts Notre Dame in the tournament and leaves Providence out, I will probably riot. And if anyone tells me that Georgetown deserves to be even in the discussion come to New York so that I can slap you in the face, please.

The conference tournaments are a few weeks away, leaving teams about 4-5 games each left to help or hurt their seedings for the conference tourney. I'll be closely following the Big East tournament, as that I am currently in the heart of Big East country. Oh, and I go to Syracuse. That too.
Speaking of the suprising and absolutely terrifying Big East Conference, three teams stand out to me as the teams who could play their way out of the tournament easier than the rest.
1. Georgetown Hoyas 14-12 (5-10)
2. Notre Dame Fighting Irish 15-11 (6-8)
3. Syracuse Orange 19-8 (7-7)
I'm going to be paying attention to the Big Ten tournament, because my good friend (Cyclops007) goes to school there. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend either of those conference tournaments this year.

One of the perks of having friends in high places is the "behind-the-scenes tour," and this past weekend, the Rensselaer community got a multimedia tour from some very well-placed friends: the Rensselaer School of Science Dean Laurie Leshin, and three Rensselaer alumni, all of whom are working on NASA's Curiosity Rover mission, currently roving the surface of Mars.
Before an audience of hundreds in the concert hall of the Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center, Leshin and alumni Michael Meyer, Frederick Serricchio, and Kobie Boykins took us though the challenges of designing the launch vehicle, spaceship, and rover, surviving the spectacular "seven minutes of terror†between space and the Martian surface, and some of the findings (including 3-D images) now being transmitted to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.
Curiosity is a large mobile laboratory, nearly five times as heavy as its older sisters Spirit and Opportunity. After a journey of eight months, the rover reached the surface of Mars in August, and will travel farther on the Red Planet than any previous Rover, using a sophisticated payload of 10 instruments to seek water, organic materials, and other indicators of habitability in Martian rocks and dust.
The inside scoop has its benefits. For example, to the unitiated, this close-up image of crumbling rock doesn't do much to impress, until Leshin explained that scientists know only one way the rounded pebbles seen in the photo can be formed: through exposure to flowing water.
But the best part, frankly, is that these guys put on one heck of a show. Enough talk. Check it out above!

White Eagle combines the two things every guy is looking for in a shaving agent: classic simplicity with superior performance. Infused with cooling menthol and emollient sesame oil, it's a runaway best seller of the Kiehl's cabinet. A rich, creamy formula acts like a form of whisker whisperer, coaxing beard hairs into submission.
So I'm weary of shave products because I have sensitive skin and often times find creams, gels, etc give me razor burn when I shave.
Now I must add, that being from Portland, I have a beard, but I like to keep the neck nice and tidy. And this is where I'd get most of my razor burn. So I was hesitant to use this product because the current product I have works really well.
Well, I loved this product! Its awesome. My girlfriend even said after shaving that my skin was the softest she'd felt it ever. So I really enjoyed the product, and will probably be purchasing in the future, just wish it wasn't as spendy.
Kiehl's Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream - White Eagle threw me off at first because it doesn't lather up like a regular brand of shave cream. After using it, I realized that it gives you a smoother shave than any other brand. It helped me get the best clean shaven look. I am highly considering purchasing this product for my go-to shave cream in the future.5
I was not crazy about this shave cream. I use beard lube by Jack Black and I am pretty much set on that. This product was easy to use but it didn't protect my skin enough from my razor and I ended up with irritation. I liked the texture and how it spread on my skin, but there was just not enough "grease" in it to keep my razor blade gliding smoothly over my skin. My razor tended to pull a little on my skin. I would try this product again but unfortunately I used most all of the tube in one use. The sample size needs to be a little larger next time for this so you can get 2 to 3 uses out of a sample.3
