Hypoglycaemia in severe malaria, clinical associations and relationship to quinine dosage
1 Centre for Geographic Medicine Research, Kenya Medical Research Institute- Wellcome Trust Programme, PO Box 230, Kilifi, Kenya
2 Centre for Clinical Vaccinology and Tropical Medicine, Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK
3 Department of Paediatrics and Wellcome Trust Centre for Clinical Tropical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College, Norfolk Place, London, W2 1PG, UK
BMC Infectious Diseases 2010, 10:334 doi:10.1186/1471-2334-10-334Published: 22 November 2010
Hypoglycaemia is an independent risk factor for death in severe malaria and a recognized adverse treatment effect of parenteral quinine. In 2006 our hospital changed quinine treatment policy from 15 mg/kg loading (plus 10 mg/kg 12-hourly) to 20 mg/kg loading (plus 10 mg/kg 8-hourly) to comply with new WHO guidelines. This presented us with the opportunity to examine whether there was any dose relationship of quinine and hypoglycaemia occurrence.
Retrospective case notes review of all children admitted to hospital with severe falciparum malaria between April 2002 - July 2009, before and after the introduction of the new WHO quinine regimen. Four-hourly bedside glucose levels were measured until intravenous quinine was discontinued. Clinical events immediately preceding or concurrent with each episode of hypoglycaemia (glucose < = 3.0 mmol/l) were recorded.
954 children received the old quinine regime and 283 received the new regime. We found no evidence of an increased prevalence of hypoglycaemia (< = 3.0 mmol/L) on the new regime compared to former (15% vs. 15%); similar findings were noted for profound hypoglycaemia (< 2.2 mmols/L) 8% v 5%, P = 0.07. Episodes were co-incident with disease severity markers: coma (57%), circulatory failure (38%) and respiratory distress (21%) but less commonly with seizures (10%). Disruption of maintenance fluids and/or blood transfusion concurred with 42% of the hypoglycaemia episodes. Post admission hypoglycaemia increased odds of fatal outcome (24%) compared to euglycaemic counterparts (8%), odds ratio = 3.45 (95% confidence interval = 2.30-5.16) P < 0.01.
There was no evidence to indicate a dose relationship between quinine and occurrence of hypoglycaemia. Hypoglycaemia concurred with severity features, disruption of glucose infusion and transfusion. Careful glucose monitoring should be targeted to these complications where resources are limited.

We LOVED this! So much so that it's become a permanent part of my Thanksgiving plans. Made the stock as I was cleaning up after dinner, then stripped the turkey meat, strained the stock, and refrigerated overnight. This made the actual gumbo prep the next day go pretty fast. In the recipe, when it calls for two quarts water, I used the stock (one quart was leftover and became the base of creamy turkey soup!). Notes to me: used about three cups of good sausage because I had it, could have added more; use two full bags of frozen okra (24 oz) to avoid leftover; make 4 cups Uncle Ben's rice plus water in rice cooker. Thanks for sharing the recipe! This is a great find!
THis is not a rating but a reply to the previous comment. Forever my mother, who was born and raised in New Orleans, made Turkey Gumbo just like this. My Grandmothers, also born and raised in New Orleans made their Seafood Gumbo similarly.
AWESOME RECIPE! Followed this recipe for our Thanksgiving leftover turkey. It was so good that we made another pot just to freeze. Thanks!
Wherever you got this recipe is using the wrong terminology. Cajuns do not use tomatoes in their gumbo, creoles do. We do not use okra in it either, that's also creole. We don't use bacon or brown sugar, either- I have never even heard of that, and I was born and raised in Louisiana on REAL gumbo.

Protecting, improving and expanding England's woodland resource
Government forestry policy is set out in Defra's and Forestry Commmission England's forestry and woodland policy statement
England's trees, woods and forests are a vital national asset providing multiple economic, social and environmental benefits.
Our objective is to enable the forestry sector to protect, improve and expand this asset so that these benefits can be maximised now and maintained for the future. Our forestry policy is therefore based on resilience.
This means a forestry sector and woodland resource that keeps growing and providing these multiple benefits, despite threats such as pests and diseases and climate change, without requiring more government intervention.
To achieve this, everything we do must be focused on meeting the following key objectives (in priority order):
• protecting the nation's trees, woodlands and forests from increasing threats such as pests, diseases and climate change
• improving their resilience to these threats and their contribution to economic growth, people's lives and nature
• expanding them to further increase their value
This hierarchy of priorities is the bedrock of our forestry policy and our approach to enabling all in the sector to achieve our collective ambitions.
Woodlands and forests face unprecedented threats in the face of the dual challenges of climate change, which can weaken our existing trees thereby creating more suitable conditions for the expansion of pest populations, and an increase in international trade resulting in new pests and diseases arriving from overseas.
Unsustainable populations of some deer species and grey squirrels and invasive species such as Rhododendron can also damage woodland. We support landowners in collaborating to manage wild deer populations and controlling invasive species.
Along with other Government departments and agencies we provide grant to the Deer Initiative to provide support services to land managers. We are market testing our provision of support services in partnership with Natural England in readiness for the 2016-17 financial year. This is through an Invitation to Apply for a competitive grant.
We use regulation and swift responses to tree disease outbreaks to protect England's woods, working in partnership with woodland owners and managers. We also promote planting of a wider range of types and species of trees to increase ecological resilience.
This will decrease the frequency and severity of outbreaks of tree diseases and a provide a woodland resource that is more resilience to such outbreaks when they occur.
Woodland managed to the UK Forestry Standard (link) will continue to provide benefits such as jobs and economic activity, timber and woodfuel, clean water, biodiversity, and places for people to enjoy the outdoors.
We are at the heart of cross-sector partnership working. We provide woodland owners and managers with the advice, incentives and market opportunities they need to identify what they want from their woods, plan how to make this happen, and put their plan into action.
Woodland creation in most landscapes can bring increased benefits such as jobs and economic activity, timber and woodfuel, clean water, biodiversity, and places for people to enjoy the outdoors.
We want to create a lot more woodland in England and work with others to encourage more trees to be planted where it suits local conditions.
Developing our business
We run our business, manage change and continuously improve so we become better at enabling the sector to protect, improve and expand England's woodland.
We are an intelligent organisation that understands how to make a difference in the real world to realise the ambitions in our forestry policy. For example, we have supported research to develop a better understanding of what motivates landowners to manage their woodlands and/or invest in new woodland creation.
- Summary for Policy-makers (PDF, 1.7MB)
- Evidence base review (PDF, 2MB)
- Woodland management segmentation (PDF, 9.3MB)
- Woodland creation segmentation (PDF, 5MB)
We publish trends in key indicators of the outcomes we want so that everyone can see how we, and the wider sector, are doing.
Much of the work on organisational change is brought together in the Woodland Policy Enabling Programme.

Perfect fit, very supple after minimal break in period. Excellent service provided by Midwest! Completely satisfied with this purchase experience.
Comfort out of the box true to size
Have no complaints about this product . It arrived as promised, looks and fits as described.
My husband just got those. He loves them, great look and very comfortable. He says that they feel like nothing with great support at same time. We will see in a long run but so far so good. Great customer service as usual.
Overall a comfortable shoe right out of the box. The top eyelet area on the inside of each shoe however rubbed against the foot. Softer padding in that area would be an improvement.
Excellent shoe. Great comfort, stability and traction. Lightweight also. This shoe stands above all others. Midwest Sports is the best online tennis store.
I've tried all the major brands over the years and these can go toe to toe with any of them in my opinion. They are light, durable and need no break in time for my feet. Heck, they look so good in person that my first pair is now my everyday shoe. With a six month guarantee, give 'em a go. You may be very happily surprised!
I was looking for a pair of shoes just like my old Nikes (which lasted me about a year before wearing out and causing ankle pain.) Unfortunately they weren't on sale so I kept looking and found these. They looked cool and the reviews were positive so I bought them on sale. They fit well and feel really comfortable. The size is true. I have'nt had a chance to play in them yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
very lively shoe,snug and secure
very comfortable no break in needed, very nice sturdy shoes,midwest ships fast
Bought these because of the great price. Hadn't worn Diadora in many years. Have played with them twice on Hartru and was not even aware I had new shoes on. I rotate the shoes I wear. Currently between K-Swiss, Asics, and Adidas. I would rate these as good as the Asics with K-Swiss just a bit behind. Great value,
I bought these shoes because the price was such a great deal. I'm currently using ASICS Gel resolution 5 (which I really like), and these are my replacement shoes for when those wear off. I have not used the shoes yet, but I tried them on and they are very light and extremely comfortable. The quality is outstanding, and they look much nicer than in the pictures. I don't know how long the soles will last, but they look very durable. I have been recommending them to all my tennis friends.
Just got this pair and was pleased with them. I have a high arch and the Diadoras definitely have that feature. Definitely not too heavy and works well on hard courts
First time ever playing in Diadora's and I must say that I am pleasantly surprised. Out of the box comfort, great support, and a good looking shoe.
Nice looking and very comfortable shoes.
Great looking, sharp shoe. Specialized for hard courts I beleive as the arch is pretty high and heel edges are pretty sharp. Works fine on clay if you can stay on your toes and actually lets you stop on a dime and pivot to a new direction.
Terriffic service on a great shoe

Council is out of touch
Published: Wednesday, March 3, 2010 at 2:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 2, 2010 at 2:28 p.m.
To The Editor: I was surprised and dismayed, in this economic downturn, when I read that the city council had held their retreat at the Melange for a cost of $1,320.
The Melange is a wonderful place, owned and operated by a creative and talented couple. It is an elegant place for special celebrations, where private individuals spend their money, not tax payer's money. To put this in perspective, $1,320 is the amount that two families, who live in homes valued at $175,000, will pay to the city for their entire 2010 city taxes.
During the Niehoff and Newman administrations, the retreats were held in a city building at Patton Park. The city clerk ordered in sandwiches and provided wonderful snacks. Meetings were productive and beneficial, for much less money. If that building is not available, there are many suitable places for a council "get away" at little or no cost.
There are two problems — cost and the questions it raises about whether the council is allowing other extravagances and inefficiencies in places that are less evident to the public.
Let's hope the political elitism that is so rampant in Washington and Raleigh, has not infected Hendersonville's mayor and city council.
Ron Stephens
Ron Stephens, a former Hendersonville mayor pro tem, served on the council from 2001 until 2005.
Leaders miss the obvious

Rest for Ellis
Posted by Fluto Shinzawa, Globe Staff April 20, 2010 02:10 PM
Matt Ellis, rocked by Johnny Boychuk last night, was given a rest day today because he was still sore, said Lindy Ruff. Chris Butler, a healthy scratch on defense for the first three games, practiced as a forward today to replace Ellis. If Ellis is unavailable tomorrow, Ruff said the Sabres will call up help from Portland.
Thomas Vanek is not expected to play tomorrow.

The Abu Dhabi Yas Marina grand prix circuit hosts the GP this weekend. Abu Dhabi is the most oil-rich in the region and the 5.55 kilometer Yas Marina Circuit has been built using the motorists' money, extracted at the petrol pumps. Roll on electric power! It was also one of the most boring race tracks in living history and has been universally christened 'Yawn' Marina.
SAIC Motor Corporation, has embarked on an aggressive global sales and manufacturing plan, promising a full range of passenger and commercial vehicles to tackle the world's automotive giants head on. However, there is no mention of a sports car or even a convertible, forgetting that open air motoring was what made MG great.
After many years of naturally-aspirated power Porsche has returned to turbocharging with the latest 911 Carrera and its more sporting Carrera S sibling with even greater reserves along with vastly better fuel economy than ever before.
Last week I gave you an easy one all about a driver, the America's Cup, Egypt and a camel, and asked who was this famous driver associated with all these things? It was Tommy Sopwith whose father competed in the America's Cup. Egypt? He raced cars called the Sphinx and his family built the Sopwith Camel planes.
So to this week. Who is this? Patent holder for electrical control systems judged to be 70 years ahead of his time. Designer of one of the world's best motor cars. Holder of the WLSR. So who is it?
One of the medical journals I subscribe to has "Risk Factors" in wearing contact lenses as the leading article this month. They had carried out a large sample of contact lens wearers in the US, asking them about particular risky behaviors and their prevalence was noted as follows:
Sleeping overnight in contact lenses: 50.2 percent
Napping in contact lenses: 87.1 percent
Mixing new solution with old solution in a contact lens case (as opposed to replacing old solution entirely): 55.1 percent
Extending the recommended replacement frequency of lenses: 82.3 percent
Showering in contact lenses: 84.9 percent
Swimming in contact lenses: 61.0 percent
I don't know about you, but I'm guilty to the lot of them.
You do take your lenses out each night, don't you? Even with all the advances in lenses, the ophthalmologists still recommend you give the eyes a rest each night. After all, contact lenses are still 'foreign bodies'.
As you can see (pun intended), it isn't just a case of bunging some in and forgetting about it. Quite the reverse. With all our organs that can go wrong, did you know that eye problems are some of the commonest reasons for a doctor visit? And for those of you who wear contact lenses (like me) there are even more eye problems for us to get, despite the common use of contact lenses these days.
There are many types of contact lenses, the old hard ones were made of a material called polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) which is rigid and does not let oxygen through, but the newer ones have a material called siloxane which is gas permeable. These hard lenses are the most trouble free, although the most difficult to look after. Sounds topsy-turvy, I know.
The second type of lens is the soft contact lens, of which there is a "permanent" style and a disposable type. These are made of hydroxymethylmethacrylate (HEMA) which contains between 30-60 percent water and are gas permeable. However, soft disposable lenses give the most problems, but are the easiest to look after, in direct contrast with the hard lenses. Again sounds weird, I know.
The commonest problems with all contact lenses is infection, and since the lens is a foreign body, there is a good reason to get an infection immediately. For those of you who leave your lenses in the eyes overnight, you have an increased risk of infection by a factor of 10. Take them out every night, you have been warned!
Infection is not to be thought of as something that just happens and when it does you just pop in a few eye drops and get better automatically. Bacterial infection can be sight threatening and the cornea (the clear bit in the centre that you look through) can be destroyed in 24 to 48 hours. There is also a parasite that can get into the eye of contact lens users who have rinsed their lens with contaminated water, or who have worn their lenses swimming in contaminated water.
One very common problem is "losing" the lens in the eye, both the hard and soft types. The most important thing to remember is not to panic. The lens cannot go "behind" the eye. It just rolls itself up under the lid. Try to avoid rubbing and it will reappear in an hour or so. Just like the stray dogs in your soi.
The other very common problem is eye irritation. This is caused by material under the lens or damage to the lens itself, such as splitting or tearing. If you take out the lens and you find it breaking up, do not put it back in – you run the risk of damaging the cornea. Do not be like me and wear your "two week" contacts until they fall apart –you are running a risk!
Lens care is the most important feature and you should always wash your hands before removal or insertion. The lens container should be scrupulously clean and the storage/cleaning fluid should be fresh, and never use water.
Look after your lenses, take them out at night, change them frequently and remove them immediately when there is any irritation or redness. "See" you next week!
The local Bira circuit is the venue for a packed motor racing schedule this weekend. This ranges from "club" style racing (run what you brung) to some very professional categories with many cars using this meeting as a shakedown for the Bang Saen 'round the houses' next weekend (November 24-29).
Found some very interesting valuations on some rather expensive motor cars from the auction sheets in the USA. The cheapest was a 1964 Shelby 289 Cobra which went under the hammer for, $1,155,000. Yes, one point one five five million dollars. Not baht. Now I have driven a 289 Cobra, and it was a wonderful experience, but worth 1.1 mill? No way. Anyway, I'd want a 250 LM.
The most expensive toy on the block was a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider at $7,700,000.
Next a 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica Series I Coupe Aerodinamico, $4,070,000.
1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 (Chassis 10451), $3,657,500.

1964 Shelby 289 Cobra, $1,155,000.
You can see that if you are looking at your vehicle as an investment, better get a Ferrari. I'm sorry but an Isuzu just doesn't cut it.
I have just fitted a Mobileye system to my daily driver, as part of an ongoing test for the next couple of months. So what's a Mobileye? It is a box of electro-trickery which looks down the road, with the same point of view as me as I look down the road.
The Mercedes steam-roller continued to be the class act of this penultimate Grand Prix in Sao Paolo, with Rosberg taking a lights to flag untroubled victory, with team mate Hamilton second but a high pitched whine was noticeable coming from the driver's seat. "You have to look at a different strategy for me," Hamilton told his engineer. "I'm faster than him (Rosberg) but it's impossible to overtake."
After progressive 'evolutions', the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is about to go out of production. Mitsubishi has previously announced that the petrol, FWD Lancer will be the last Evolution badge in that guise as the Evo line-up will most likely be electric or hybrid SUV models in the future.

My humans have been wanting to try this tea for a long time. Finally, the time has come.
Steeping time: 5 minutes (see comments)
Tea type: Black, loose leaf, large pieces
Scents, flavorings, etc.: Pine Smoke
Aroma, dry: Smoky, earthy
Aroma in the cup, plain: Smoky, earthy
Taste, plain: Smoky, earthy, astringent, no bitterness
Aroma in the cup, enhanced: Smoky, earthy
Taste, enhanced: Smoky, astringent flavors subdued, while earthiness emphasized
2nd Infusion: Lighter color and aroma; still smoky, earthy, and astringent
"Go-Withs": Smoked meats, dishes containing sage, stronger flavored fruits such as cranberries (Marlena recommends bleu cheese and sweets - the choice is yours!)
Our first sips told us that this tea is not the usually black tea blend we consume on a daily basis (Typhoo, PG Tips, English Breakfast, etc.). The smoky, earthy, and somewhat astringent aromas of the dry leaf and steeping tea carried through to the plain tea "liquor." (We always try tea plain first and then decide if we want to try it enhanced with milk and sweetener.) For this tea, people in the West generally drink it enhanced, so hubby prepared a bit that way, too. A mouthful showed me that this was a good alternative with the milk subduing the smokiness, emphasizing the earthiness, and covering the astringency completely. However, I found that plain or with a bit of sweetener was better.
We stayed with a steeping time of 5 minutes but think that the tea might have less astringency if steeped a shorter time, possibly only 3 minutes.
We deducted a half teapot only because of the newness of this tea to us and that hubby found it a bit disconcerting. For anyone familiar with Lapsang Souchong, I heartily recommend this one.

Sprott initiated their position in BZA just a year ago (filing on 7 Oct 2011). The price then was in the 0.35-0.70 range. Seems highly unlikely they would exit at a loss after such a short holding period while simultaneously touting investment in gold / gold miners in the news/radio and the "easy 5-10 bagger potential" opportunities.
The chart screams "this company has a problem", although the only problem we know of seems to be delays which affect most juniors making the transition to full production.

The Didache (pronounced did-a-kay) is an early church document, and the word comes from the Greek didoskolos meaning teacher. It was possibly written around A.D. 65-80 and is supposed to be what the twelve apostles taught to the Gentiles concerning life and death, church order, fasting, baptism, prayer, etc. There is debate as to its authenticity. The work is cited by Eusebius who lived from 260-341 and Athanasius (293-373). The Didache is not inspired but is valuable as an early church document. (Full text of the didache).

I tried to subscribe to The Cool Hunter Architecture [www.thecoolhunter.co.uk/architecture] but kept on getting a message 'The email address entered is invalid'. Maybe they are oversubscribed. It's irritating not to be able to 'save a fortune on magazines' as the strapline suggests but there we are. And anyway trawling this cornucopia site sans subscription is great. Think Dezeen and Materialicious but with much bigger pictures and covering the gamut of arts-related activity rather than just architecture and design. Maybe you'll have better luck with your email address. Worth trying if only for the reflective bike tyres.

- enzalutamide
An orally bioavailable, organic, non-steroidal small molecule targeting the androgen receptor (AR) with potential antineoplastic activity. Through a mechanism that is reported to be different from other approved AR antagonists, enzalutamide inhibits the activity of prostate cancer cell ARs, which may result in a reduction in prostate cancer cell proliferation and, correspondingly, a reduction in the serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) level. AR over-expression in prostate cancer represents a key mechanism associated with prostate cancer hormone resistance. Check for active clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)

Basis Urges U.S. Judge to Let Goldman Suit Proceed
Basis Capital, an Australian hedge fund, urged a New York judge to allow its $1 billion lawsuit over the marketing of credit default swaps by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to proceed, calling Goldman's request for a dismissal a "distraction."
The lawsuit by Basis Capital's Basis Yield Alpha Fund focuses on Goldman Sachs's sale of the "Timberwolf" collateralized debt obligation. The complaint, filed June 9 in Manhattan federal court, says the fund was forced into insolvency after buying mortgage-linked securities created by Goldman Sachs, in what one of its own executives described internally as a "shi**y deal."
Goldman Sachs, based in New York, urged District Judge Barbara Jones to throw out the suit in an Aug. 2 filing, citing a June U.S. Supreme Court ruling that said U.S. securities laws don't apply to the claims of foreign buyers of non-U.S. securities on foreign exchanges.
"Goldman's thesis, if adopted, would render the U.S. securities laws a nullity any time a U.S. seller engages in fraud in effecting the sale of a security to a foreign purchaser," Basis said in papers filed yesterday. Goldman Sachs is trying to shift the focus and it's an "improper distraction," Basis said.
In the complaint, Basis alleged Goldman falsely claimed in June 2007 that the market for investments such as Timberwolf had stabilized. Basis claims it closed on its deal with Goldman to buy credit default swaps tied to Timberwolf at the same time Thomas Montag, Goldman's former head of sales and trading for the Americas, sent the e-mail calling the Timberwolf CDO "one shi**y deal."
The credit-default swaps in the transaction were derivatives of U.S. securities, Basis said. The location of the transaction was really New York, and Goldman Sachs International was acting as an agent of New York-based Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in the transaction, the company said.
The sale "was a New York sales transaction from start to finish," Basis said.
The case is Basis Yield v. Goldman Sachs, 1:10-cv-04537, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Pygmy Seahorse Research
This has been another productive trip, although I have had a slight setback to my behavioural observations. A couple of days of unseasonable and unusual conditions, quite localised around the vicinity of my gorgonian, led to some damage of the gorgonian and the loss of the two females of my study group. A single male remains on the gorgonian and is pregnant so I hope to observe the birth at the beginning of next trip. In addition I have been continuing population surveys at Teluk Waitii and Galaxy dive sites. I have found several pairs of Denise's pygmy seahorses (Hippocampus denise) so far and will continue with these surveys over the coming weeks. I also plan to survey Cornucopia and possibly another site in the future to expand the area of my study.
A new phase of my study is observing the interactions between divers and pygmy seahorses. I hope to establish which specific diver behaviours are stressful to the fish with the aim of creating a code of conduct for diving with and photographing pygmies. I am sure we all wish to continue to appreciate these amazing animals without stressing them or possibly even reducing life expectancy.
My pygmy seahorse presentation was again very popular and hopefully gave the audience a glimpse into the private lives of pygmies. Many of the guests were very enthusiastic about seeing pygmies and keen to keep their impacts to a minimum. This year I have expanded the part in one of my presentations regarding photographers and tips for getting good pictures without having a negative impact of the reef's inhabitants. It is always great to see guests embracing this and sharing the Wakatobi philosophy of reef preservation.
After an absence of seven months I have returned to the resort in order to conduct further research into the pygmy seahorses on Wakatobi reefs. This region is one of the best places for pygmy seahorse research in terms of number of species and their abundance (we frequently see Denise's, Bargibant's and an as yet undescribed white species, as well as the recently described pygmy pipehorse Kyonemichthys rumengani known only from a small area of northern Sulawesi and Wakatobi). Ease of access and sheer diversity on the house reef has been vital for my studies as this is where I carry out much of my observations. During my time at the resort I plan to continue with my behavioural observations with a new group and conduct further population surveys at two or three more local dive sites.
Having had chance to make preliminary analysis of my previous data I found that the House Reef had the largest population of pygmies and Kollo Soha had the greatest proportion of gorgonians with pygmies living on them. I was also studying how pygmies use the space on their gorgonian host. Every time I made behavioural observations I also recorded each individual's location on the gorgonian and then compared how spatial use varied between reproductively and non-reproductively active males and females. The attached images show that the female used a much larger area of the fan than the reproductively active male.
This trip I spent several dives on the house reef finding a new group of Denise's pygmy seahorses, which I will get to known intimately over the coming weeks. I have been looking for a group with a greater number of females compared to males. I found such a group on the house and have begun recording their social and reproductive behaviours. The tides have been perfect for dawn observations so I have been at the fan by 5:30am for the past few days. I have also been going out on the day boats to establish which sites will be good for population surveys. I think Pinkis, Teluk Waitii and Fan 38 East are potential candidates having already surveyed the House Reef, Pockets, Kollo Soha and Blade during my last stay. I have also been conducting a series of evening presentations, which many guests have attended. They cover my work, conservation and coral reef biology and biodiversity.

The diapers themselves you can just wash and dry (use minimal detergent) once or twice. The inserts need washed and dried a couple extra times because they are natural fibers. Only use detergent for the first wash cycle, after that one water for your full length wash cycles.

Harvesting leading practices
We aim to advance the body of knowledge around creative placemaking by supporting established practitioners, capturing and sharing lessons from their efforts.
Focus Area Overview
We seek to develop knowledge about how and under what conditions creative placemaking contributes to strengthening neighborhoods and to revitalization. We are interested in the economic, physical, social and cultural changes associated with creative placemaking and in gathering data about its impact.
Our goals are to raise awareness of creative placemaking, provide examples of excellence, advance knowledge of processes and results, identify obstacles and tools that can help others pursuing this work and better understand the role for philanthropy.
We are curating a limited portfolio of established creative placemaking practitioners working in disinvested communities. We place an emphasis on learning and assessment and therefore include support for the creation of tools useful in the dissemination and adoption of creative placemaking practices.
We are interested in investing in seasoned practitioners who employ strategic, integrated approaches to infuse arts and culture in urban revitalization, advance opportunity and improve the conditions of underserved and marginalized populations and strengthen the fabric within neighborhoods.
We look for initiatives that embed arts and culture in cross-sector and cross-disciplinary efforts designed to foster the well-being of low-income residents, enhance the built environment and address social, cultural and economic barriers to opportunity. Examples include, but are not limited to, projects related to transit-oriented development, affordable housing projects and open, green public spaces.
Some of the Activities We Support
Chinatown Community Development Center seeks to leverage several public infrastructure projects to acknowledge and honor the residents of San Francisco's Chinatown and enhance its cultural identity and vibrancy. To achieve this, the organization created a resident-led Creative Placemaking Council that guides and infuses arts and culture into all community-revitalization strategies and partnerships on public infrastructure projects.
The Lincoln Park Coast Cultural District Inc. drives culturally sensitive, comprehensive revitalization work in a four-block low-income neighborhood in Newark, N.J. Its work includes the construction of much-needed affordable, mixed-use housing units; robust arts and cultural programming; historic preservation and restoration projects and small-scale urban agriculture.
Greater Milwaukee Committee knits together unprecedented public/private, arts-centric partnerships to benefit low-income residents in the Harambee and Riverwest neighborhoods in Milwaukee. These efforts include significant workforce development, deep engagement efforts designed to build social fabric and the development of a trail extension that repurposes a former railroad corridor into an 8-acre linear art park.
The Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative, in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood, integrates arts and culture into an equitable transit-oriented development strategy along the Fairmount Transit Corridor. These embedded creative placemaking efforts engage creative and community partner organizations, artists, residents and merchants in community organizing, visioning and participation in creative interventions. These interventions support creative entrepreneurs and a menu of arts programming.
Springboard for the Arts practices strategic, creative and integrated approaches to urban revitalization in the St. Paul, Minn., region. Its work engages artists, residents, businesses and the public sector in partnerships to advance opportunity and improve the quality of life for marginalized populations and strengthen neighborhood fabric.
Who may apply?
U.S. 501(c)(3) organizations with audited financial statements that are not classified as private foundations. Audits must be independently prepared following Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or Government Auditing Standards. Financial statements prepared on a cash, modified cash, compilation or review basis do not qualify.
Examples of applicants include:
- Anchor institutions in any sector that have a stake in and are located in a low-income disinvested community. Such organizations often have a longstanding presence, are large or small employers and operate or are located in a facility through either a long-term lease or direct ownership. These might include arts and cultural institutions of all disciplines and sizes, colleges and universities (four-year, community and minority-serving institutions), libraries, health clinics and human services agencies.
- Nonprofit artist collaboratives.
- Nonprofit community partners that serve as catalysts, intermediaries and/or funders of community-based revitalization, including community development corporations, community foundations, neighborhood associations and financing agents such as credit unions and community development financial institutions.
- Government entities.
Who may not apply?
- Individuals.
- Organizations that discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, citizenship status, age, disability, sexual orientation or veteran status.
- Organizations that require membership in certain religions or advance a particular religious faith. (Faith-based organizations may be eligible if they welcome and serve all members of the community regardless of religious belief.)
- Programs operated to benefit for-profit organizations.
Who will be competitive?
Projects and organizations that:
- Embed arts and culture in larger community revitalization initiatives.
- Engage in cross-disciplinary, cross-sector activities.
- Exhibit strong leadership.
- Include artists and arts organizations.
- Extend benefits to all stakeholders, especially low-income community members.
- Demonstrate commitment to sustained engagement and empowerment of low-income residents.
- Work to ensure current residents can remain in their community even where revitalization changes neighborhood economics.
- Honor community distinctiveness.
In addition to those characteristics, we look for projects and organizations in communities that:
- Lack traditional investors, but have secured some public or philanthropic investments to support other elements of community revitalization.
- Demonstrate success in pursuing creative placemaking strategies.
- Show support for the creative placemaking effort from multiple sectors.
We do not fund
Planning projects or stand-alone arts and cultural projects that benefit one organization, are on the periphery of a broader community revitalization project or have limited regard for place. Examples include:
- Arts education and outreach activities.
- One-time community arts, public art or beautification projects not connected to a comprehensive community revitalization project.
- Capital campaigns for cultural facilities or outdoor venues not connected to a comprehensive community revitalization project.
- Economic and community development projects without consideration to history, character of the place and integration of the arts.
- Neighborhood branding projects.
- Projects where resident input is consultative, or participation is limited to attendance.
- Arts and social justice and engagement projects not connected to a larger revitalization strategy.
- Farmers markets.
- Community gardens.

Roddenberry's Worst Ideas

Re: Roddenberry's Worst Ideas
Having a world without money may not be feasible in real life but it works really well for a television show. Seriously, libertarians preach worse than Roddenberry, and think they're twice as smart. (And I consider myself one).
I would imagine the people who do the crappy work are the people who haven't proven themselves yet. Just because there's no money doesn't mean there's no competition for the best positions.
You want to be an architect, you take a crappy entry job at an architecture firm and do the work nobody else wants to do for a while, then when you prove yourself you take on better work.
Plus based on what we've seen of Earth life, people are willing to clean up after themselves. None of that privileged aversion to picking up a broom.

Magic Waters Waterpark
Magic Waters' vast expanse of twisting slides, heated wave pools, and colorful attractions accessible to all visitors entertains entire families. While swimmers play, troops of lifeguards with extensive certification and training ensure safety, and mascots stand guard to pose for pictures with children and warn against the dangers of going down a water slide in a full-body costume.

Younger aquanauts puff up their water wings in the interactive complex of Tiki Island or leapfrog over floating lily pads in Little Lagoon.
After exploring the twists and turns of rivers and waterslides, guests refuel with pizza, tacos, burritos, sandwiches or salads at Ocho's Cantina or indulge in cold treats at the Thirsty Turtle.

Butter, white wine, and a squeeze of lemon are all you need for a great marinade for grilled venison. This will get rid of the "gamey" taste in venison.

Re: I updated my iphone 4 with iO6.1. I now no longer have any of my music available with iTunes match. I've turned iTunes match on and off on my phone and on and off on my computer. I am not restoring my phone to factory settings. in response to blackberry124
From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
Take the following steps:
1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
Hope this helps!

C is for crime: Cookie Monster, Elmo arrested in New York
1 of 1
An Elmo character, left, used a woman's camera to photograph her with a Cookie Monster character, in New York's Times Square today. A string of arrests in the last few months has brought unwelcome attention to the growing number of people, mostly poor immigrants, who make a living by donning character outfits, roaming Times Square and charging tourists a few dollars to pose with them in photos.

After confirming a dinner reservation, the hostess requested my e-mail address "for our mailing list."
While complying would certainly qualify as an opt-in, telephone dictation is just too dangerous a tactic for building a list. Typos, misspellings and mis-hearing (was that 'b' as in "boy or 'v' as in "victory"?) will inevitably result in unhygenic lists. That, in turn, will negatively impact deliverability of the entire list.
They know I'm coming in for dinner anyway. Why not ask then, if they have to ask? Some restaurants are beginning to leave a card with the bill requesting an opt-in to e-newsletters. That has its risks, too (handwriting isn't always crystal clear). But it has to be better than a game of telephone.

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
April 11th, 2015, had to have been the most flawless day in history! At least, that's the way our wedding went down in the books! Sabrina, by far was the best choice ever. The last thing someone wants on their wedding day is to have to worry about a thing. And that's exactly what we did, nothing! Sabrina, is the goddess of wedding planners. She coordinated every second of our beautiful day. The only thing we ever worried about was if our glasses were kept full and if we needed a touch up on our lip gloss. Actually, that's a fib, Sabrina even kept out glasses full through out our special day! She not only tailored to our every need, on this special day. She made herself always available, from the smallest details; personalizing our favors, decorating/arranging our beautiful cake table, holding our hands and reviewing every detail needed the day before, during our rehearsal, guiding us with a personalized checklist nearly a year before our wedding, endless emails and so much more! Our friends and family could not stop boasting about our wedding being....THE BEST WEDDING EVER! We owe this all to Sabrina and her amazing gifts of professionalism, efficiency and enthusiasm! Thank you Sabrina!
Sabrina quite literally saved our wedding. We had hired another wedding planner who was unable to perform, and Sabrina came in on 9 week's notice and was able to pull everything off without a hitch. She's unbelievably easy to work with, exceedingly nice, and very detail oriented. Sabrina is also highly responsive & well-respected in the industry, which made last minute planning that would not have otherwise been possible appear seamless to my (now) wife & me. During a very stressful period, she was able to take the pressure off of us so we could enjoy our wedding planning, again. I could not provide a more glowing recommendation for a wedding planner, and would highly recommend her for any and all event planning.
Sabrina always respond to your request right away. She gives good advises, is very flexible in her schedules and ask all the questions she needs until she is sure she understood what the bride wants. She was our daughter's wedding planner, and then our daugther in law wedding planner and in both events she excelled.
Sabrina was great! She was extremely responsive and professional in all our interactions. She really made us feel like she was fully invested and personally interested in what we needed and wanted for our wedding. Everything on the day of the wedding went smoothly, and guests told me later that they were also impressed with Sabrina's professionalism and efficiency. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants a worry-free wedding!
I knew Sabrina was the perfect match the minute I met her. I think the same name is what initially prompted me to contact her, and I am so thankful that I did. Not only is she extremely professional, but she is so amazingly sweet, organized, chic, and above all - she makes her couples feel comfortable (this is key when planning such a big event). The biggest trait you'll see in Sabrina is her sense of calmness, which I think is pretty amazing considering her line of work. She never lost her cool, she had a great way of giving her input and offering amazing suggestions in a way that didn't seam pushy, but rather eye-opening. My husband and I were pretty much on our own with the wedding planning and all the decision making that went with it, but meeting with Sabrina made the process smooth and easy going. No doubt, I still stressed my butt off - mainly just working so much and not having family or friends around, but always keeping close ties with Sabrina via e-mail, texts & phone calls made it SO much helpful and easier, especially for a 300+ wedding like mine. I would highly highly recommend her. One of the best decisions I've ever made!
Sabrina was absolutely amazing! She is very detailed oriented and works hard to me sure your vision comes true.
We love Sabrina! She's an angel sent from above. Our wedding was amazing thanks to her. We don't know what we would've done without her. She is organized, responsive and kind. She did an awesome job coordinating our wedding. I highly recommend you hire her for your wedding!
La Dolce Idea provides flexible alternatives for every budget. Very professional with great contacts that made our wedding even more special than we imagined.
I work in the events industry and am a former wedding planner so as you can imagine my expectations were quite high for the wedding planner I was going to hire for my wedding. I can honestly say that Sabrina exceeded EVERY expectation. I couldn't have dreamed of a better wedding planner. Sabrina has an ease and patience about her that every bride as well as groom needs when planning the most import day of their lives. Her keen attention to detail, exceptionally creative mind, and extreme organization are among many of her amazing traits. I want to thank Sabrina from the bottom of mhy heart for making my wedding not only beautiful, but so perfectly coordinated. I will never stop referring Sabrina to my brides, friends, and family.
Hiring LA DOLCE IDEA was the best decision we made. Sabrina was extremely easy to work with, efficient and had wealth of knowledge.
I was very money-conscious when hiring vendors. LA DOLCE IDEA was the BEST VALUE for money and the quality of service was outstanding.
La Dolce Idea's creation of an apple station was a popular and gorgeous feature at my daughter's wedding reception! Sabrina exceeded the bride's vision of a "Sweet Autumn" treat for everyone to enjoy and remember! She planned and executed with perfection every detail to enhance the couple's wedding style. Her exquisite display offered a variety of apples dipped in caramel or chocolate with a choice of scrumptious toppings selected by the bride and groom. It was amazing!
Sabrina is AMAZING! She created a stunning caramel apple station for my autumn themed wedding. I was so impressed by her creativity and attention to detail - down to the color of apples and font of the labels. She is a pleasure to work with and I regret not hiring her as my wedding coordinator. Sabrina is simply the BEST!!! :)
Sabrina was helpful, resourceful, creative and overall fantastic! She helped us out tremendously during the planning of our wedding in April 2013. We live out of state, and since she is so well connected with other highly qualified vendors, we were able to have a great selection to chose from, which helped us out tremendously during the first part of the planning. And as for the wedding day - we had nothing to worry about! She was on top of EVERYTHING - the only thing left for us to do was to enjoy the day, our ceremony, and our family and friends. Sabrina went above and beyond her "contracted" services, in my opinion!!
Sabrina is incredible. My husband and I had no idea what we were doing when it came time to plan our wedding a few months ago, and he found her through rave reviews (they are all true!). She is very well-connected in San Diego and gave excellent recommendations for vendors from the start. In addition, we planned to have our wedding at the San Diego Botanic Garden, which Sabrina knows intimately as she is the coordinator for the annual Gala in the Garden.
She offers different tiers of service, tailored to your needs. We opted for Day-Of coordination, which actually includes tons of coordination in the 2 weeks leading up to the day -- the most crucial time in communicating with vendors and creating a very, very detailed itinerary for the day to send out to all parties/vendors involved. Usually a stressful time for couples, but with Sabrina, it was a breeze! She also provided us with a detailed check list to guide us even before the coordination period began, and made herself extremely available to us to answer questions, etc.
It gets better: when wedding day came, we didn't do a THING! The most frequent comment we received, all day long, was how RELAXED we both looked -- and they were absolutely right! We sat back and soaked in every. single. moment. of our wedding day with our friends and family (we even ate every bite of our meals and our delicious cake!) ONLY because we had such confidence that Sabrina was taking care of EVERYTHING from behind the scenes. She is so graceful, calm, and poised, things could have been crumbling behinds the scenes but we will never know! If you're on the fence about hiring a coordinator, I can say without hesitation that Sabrina was worth every single penny (and more!), and we would have her again in a heartbeat. Highly, HIGHLY recommended!
Sabrina and her team coordinate a beatIful wedding! They did an excellent job to make everything flow perfectly. We can't imagine how it would be without them on our big day. Even though I only get on- the day- of service, Sabrina helped me out more than she should have before the wedding. Thank you so much. You went above and beyond all of our expectations And for that we are forever grateful!
There are no words that I can come up with to express how Sabrina took care of us. YES I know it sounds cliché but it is true. She took care of us from beginning to the end. Her recommendations for vendors and location were on point!!! She made me feel like I was her only client. No email ,phone call, Skype call or even text went unanswered. She made the day beyond perfect!!!!! Whatever you are planning you have my word that she and her team will take care of you!!! As if you could not tell. I was very happy with her services!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOVE LOVE LOVE HER..

"What stands out immediately about this encyclopedia is that the entire work-over 3,000 entries from abatis to Zwingli spread over 1,000 pages of closely printed text-was written by Cathal J. Nolan. He is not an editor in the usual sense of an encyclopedia, but the author of this work….[i]n every area of expertise-from firearms and technology to social history and theology-Nolan has read and synthesized the major expert or experts in the field, making this a very impressive work of synthesis. The work is truly global in scope….[t]he work will be useful to both military historians and non-military historians of early modern Europe alike….[t]his is an extremely user-friendly as well as reliable reference work. If you have only one reference work on early modern military history on your shelf, this is now the one to have."
- The Journal of Military History
The Journal of Military History
"College-level students of world history or religious history will find an extensive, useful reference in The Age of Wars of Religion, 1000-1650: An Encyclopedia of Global Wafare and Civilization. Entries chart individuals, battles, equipment and settlements alike as they provide entries key to understanding different methods of battle and political scenarios. A specialty item, but a 'must' for any collection specializing in the era's history."
- California Bookwatch
California Bookwatch
"The focus of this encyclopedic historical reference work by Nolan is the European wars of religion that were fought from the 14th through the 17th centuries, various chronological and geographical historical tributaries that are in one way or another related to those wars also come under consideration. The bulk of the approximately 2500 alphabetical entries provide narratives of major wars and battles and other standard topics of military history. However, they also include biographies of key military, political, and intellectual figures. Additionally, Nolan acknowledges the complexity of war by addressing questions of military technology, royal finance, social and class relations, major confessional groups, theological debates, and elite mores and conceits about combat and chivalry. Following the entries, a chronology of major events from 1008 to 1650 is presented, in addition to a thematically organized selected bibliography. Twenty-five pages of maps are also included."
- Reference & Research Book News
Reference & Research Book News
"This resource would be a good purchase for larger public libraries and undergraduate institutions that support courses in the history of warfare. It can provide students and general readers with background for understanding some of the major conflicts of the twenty-first century."
- Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin
Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin
"This encyclopedia is simply excellent. Seemingly covering most regions of the globe, Nolan does them all justice. This two-volume work is spectacular in its breadth of topics and knowledge, with nearly 2,000 entries arranged alphabetically. The set also includes a list of entries, a preface, an author's note, a note on dates, and a chronology of major events. This is a very useful addition to this field of study. Covering the world (but with more attention devoted to Europe), typical entries in this work are Aztec Empire of Mexico; Calvinism; Confucianism; both Defenestrations of Prague; Girolamo Savonarola (1452-1498), Dominican monk and religious reformer in Florence; Muskets; Printing; Salah al-Din (1137-1193), better known as Saladin, sultan of Egypt and Syria and the worthy foe of Crusaders; and Kabuto, an ornate Japanese armored helmet and mask. Entries range from a few sentences to several pages, and each has a suggested readings section. Highly recommended. Lower-/upper-level undergraduates through faculty/researchers."
- Choice
"This encyclopedia describes and illuminates a momentous 650-year period of world history that includes what historians have called The Dark Ages and the Renaissance….Nolan's well-written and authoritative preface serves as an excellent and clear introduction to this large slice of world history, and the alphabetically arranged entries are equally informative, impartially written, and accessible to students….Though specialized, this encyclopedia is recommended for libraries supporting a robust world history curriculum or fielding a number of questions on the topic."
- School Library Journal
School Library Journal
"It is an extremely good, clear, concise dictionary/encyclopedia of world military history for the Middle Ages and the early modern period. The entries are lively and engaging and make me wonder why I was not more interested in military history in the past."

I wonder what happened to the mama bird? Being up on a balcony, you wouldn't think there were any predators. But, who knows. Maybe a cat? A hawk? I guess you will have to get out a bottle and be a bird-mama, C! I hope it survives. Life is so precarious, isn't it?ReplyDelete
I worry that while mama bird was out getting food for herself, a cat/bird of prey might have gotten her :(ReplyDelete
I was sure that , as you say, being on a balcony, they would be safe .. so far the babies are huddled together now and probably hungry :(
Oh no, I was waiting for the happy ending. I hope all will be well.ReplyDelete
You are so lovely to keep watch and worry.
I can see it now... I will be obsessed over these little birds. Their mama has not returned. They are sitting, huddled together .. I don't see a happy ending :(ReplyDelete
I posted my last comment, stood up from my desk, looked out a the corner of the balcony where the nest lies and there was Mama Dove staring at me. I think she said something about Thanks for caring.ReplyDelete
