"A report released today by the Policy Exchange thinktank says possible savings are equivalent to £500 for every person in the country.
"The scale of money involved compares to total savings that the government is trying to make over the life of this parliament, creating the greatest cuts in public spending in living memory –£83bn by 2015.
"'Across the public sector, extraordinary quantities of data are amassed in the course of running public services," said Chris Yiu, author of the report. "Finding ways to share or link this data together has the potential to save time for citizens and money for taxpayers. The government will need the capability to conduct analytics effectively, and the courage to pursue this agenda with integrity.'"

The San Diego Community of Carlsbad
- Save
I landed in Carlsbad a handful of years ago through sheer luck. I received a job offer where I would be covering a sales region consisting of both San Diego and Orange Counties. Carlsbad happened to be right smack in the middle. My wife and I started our home search on the web, and we ended up buying a home without even knowing what was within a mile of us in any direction, let alone where the downtown was. We each grew up in Colorado and Minnesota towns that were rich in community offerings and events. All we knew about Carlsbad was that Legoland was down the street from us.
What has transpired in the last few years is a true blessing. We have competed in the Carlsbad Marathon, Carlsbad Half Marathon, Carlsbad 5000(5K) and Carlsbad Triathlon. We get all of our organic fruits and vegetables at the Carlsbad Farmer's Market. Our son learned to dance at the free jazz concerts in the parks every Friday night of the summer. When we take family walks on the hiking trails along the scenic lagoons, people actually say "hello" back when we greet them. And we have no logical reason to ever leave the home we bought because our neighborhoods schools are all recognized for excellent achievement.
The ironic thing is that I left that San Diego and Orange County job shortly after moving to Carlsbad. I wanted to do something I was more passionate about. Now I'm selling homes and doing my best as a goodwill ambassador of Carlsbad to let others in on our community's secret. Explore Carlsbad homes for sale on my website and I am sure if you land here like I did, the community will keep you here.

~The day dawned bright and sunny. It was a perfect fall morning. Where to go? What to do?
Well that was easy. A hike with the pups was definitely in order.
It would only take a few minutes to put together a lunch for myself and pack a bag with water and treats for the pups.
We hopped in the car and headed out. We found a wonderful blue trail that started out as a woodland path near a lake.
We walked on and on. The pups were enjoying the freedom and I was enjoying the gorgeous scenery.
We crossed the Air Line Trail and then a few town roads.
After about 3.5 miles, we came to a pretty little overlook that had an elevation of 670'. It was the perfect place to stop and eat our lunch.
We continued on in a generally Northern direction.
We crossed a couple more roads and then even passed by a Civilian Conservation Corps trail.
Next came a scenic waterfall. The pups had a great time splashing in it.
After a little over four miles more, we were starting to get tired. Also, the sun had been replaced by clouds and it was starting to get chilly. It was late in the afternoon at this point.
I dug in my pack for a jacket and also happened to find a packet of hot cocoa mix. Hmmm, now if I could just find a place to safely build a small fire to heat water I would really have it made.
It just so happened that I came across the perfect spot!!
I soon had a small fire blazing in the hearth. The water boiled and I poured my hot cocoa.
It was a little too warm to drink, so I decided to walk around a bit until it cooled off.
The area was full of history.
From where I heated the water I took a reading of 200 degrees and walked towards the treeline.
I found a tree that matched the number of pups I had with me. **If you look here you can see a picture of them-
It had a mossy, rock slab behind it.
I set my hot cocoa down on the rock and it slid off of the end and pooled under the far edge.
We had a great hike, even without the cocoa
I hope you do too!
{Just maybe if you look under that edge you will find the remains of my hot cocoa.}

Performance Monitoring Tools: Logging with System Monitor
Last updated Mar 28, 2003.
In a previous tutorial I introduced you to a tool that is included with every Windows Server operating system, the Windows System Monitor (also known as Performance Monitor). This tool gives you the ability to track and record changes on various objects on your Windows Workstation or Server. It's a tool used quite often the second phase of the performance tuning process, where you evaluate the system's components.
The previous introduction to the System Monitor focused on navigating and using the tool. This tutorial will show you how to create the output on a schedule, so in effect you can record historical metrics.
Before I get started, I'll revisit how the Windows System Monitor works. This tool uses three primary components to track things on your system.
The first component is System Monitor itself, which displays and controls the output of the things you're monitoring.
The second component is a set of registry entries. System Monitor creates some entries, and others are created by individual applications, such as SQL Server. These registry entries act as placeholders for the values a program can provide.
The last component is the application. Applications write the values into those registry entries that System Monitor created; based on the counters and objects they can track. For instance, SQL Server tracks an object Locks and one of the counters on the Lokcs Objects is is called Average Wait Time (ms). SQL Server writes the time (the value of the counter) of all lock waits into a registry location, and System Monitor reads and displays that value.
Using these three components is very efficient, since none of them will interfere with each other. Using registry entries as the intermediate mechanism is also why you'll see different counters on different systems, since the applications and even service packs change the entries that are there.
In this tutorial, I'll only show a few counters, but Books Online shows many more, based on the processes you are monitoring. What I'm interested in showing you here is the process to track counters, not the specific counters. The important thing is to understand what you're trying to monitor and keep that consistent throughout the monitoring that you do. In other tutorials I'll show you specific counters to track based on what you're trying to locate.
Another factor in choosing the objects and counters that you're after is the impact that the monitoring has on your system. Since the application is architected to create these counter values, there isn't a huge penalty for dealing with them, but the more you monitor, the more work the system has to do in writing and reading the values. For the most part, however, you won't have to be very concerned about the impact of the monitoring. In the example I'll show today, the performance hit the system will take is quite low.
The final factor in your monitoring decision is time. There are two parts to the time dimension of modeling: when you monitor, and the interval you use on the counters.
You should pick a time when there is low or little activity and continue the collection through the heavier periods of use. The monitoring should finish after another period of low activity. This creates a very good set of values to work with when you're using statistical methods of analysis or creating graphs from the data. If you're looking for peak activities, this is less important. It's also not always possible to find downtime, so you may be forced into monitoring only during peak use.
The second time dimension is the granularity of the values, or the interval. If you have a value that peaks every thirty seconds but you're monitoring by five-minute intervals, you'll miss a great deal of the values you're looking for. I have a set of systems at work that I monitor that house a large application, and my interval is five seconds for about 30 counters. I run that for 24 hours, and the log files I create are less than 10 megabytes in size. I pick up those logs and erase them from the server, and there is no noticeable impact to performance in the applications on that server. I do this about once a month.
Now that you understand the generalities of what you want to do, I'll explain how to set up a simple set of counters to be monitored. Before I do that, I'll explain what these counters are for.
My intent is to create a document that shows the pressure a system is under for a sizing exercise. I want to gather a historical set of values that will allow me to show minimum and maximum values, averages, and then standard deviations from those averages.
A standard deviation shows how far the values of a set of numbers are from the average. The closer to 0, the better the chances are that the numbers in the set are really close to the average. For instance, let's assume I have two coins in my pocket. The average value of those coins is 5.5 cents. But the standard deviation of those coins is 6.3 - meaning that I really can't trust that there are a lot of nickels in my pocket. I might actually have a dime and a penny.
The performance values I collect often work out the same way. Perhaps the processor shows that it is very busy for a short time, and then not busy at all. The average would tell me I'm fine at the current speed and number of processors — since it shows only 50% busy — but the standard deviation would show that the average are not be trustworthy. In that case I should pay attention to the distribution of the values through the set, since I want to ensure that the system is fast all of the time. I might have peaks of CPU use that cause the users to complain about the response of the system - if I only use the average of my counters I'll believe that the CPU is fine, when in fact the spikes are the issue.
With all that said, I'll get started. If you want to follow along, I'll show you how. Although the steps I'll use here shouldn't cause any problems on your system, you should always practice on a test server first, just in case. Once you're comfortable with the process, you can use it on your production systems. I'll start with the graphical method of creating a log, and then I'll explain a command-line tool you can use to automate the process.
There are two versions for the graphical tools, one found in earlier Windows Servers and the newer Reliability and Performance Monitor in Windows Server 2008 and higher. I'm focusing on the later versions, but the general concepts are the same.
First, log on to your test server and open the Start menu. In the Administrative Tools menu item you'll find the Reliability and Performance Monitor program. Start that, expand the Monitoring Tools object and then click the Performance Monitor icon and you're shown a screen that contains the Performance Monitor.
The first step in using this graphical tool is to create the objects and counters that you want to track. the Processor object and the % Processor Time counter is already selected, with the _Total set of instances. That means the graph you see is showing the value of the percentage of time the processors (all of them, added as a group because of the _Total setting) is using on the system. It's a general indication of how busy your system is - at least from the processor perspective. You can leave that one running for now, but you want to add a few more.
To do that, click the green plus-sign ( + ) icon in the top bar of the right-hand pane. That brings up a view similar to this one.
You'll see a list of objects on your system, such as the SQL Server: Memory Manager I've got here. If you click the Plus-sign next to that object the counters it contains show below it.
At first, all of the counters are selected, until you make a choice. Select the objects you wish, and click the Add >> button to add them to the collection on your screen. Then scroll to other objects and expand those to add more.
Here are a few objects that I am collecting on this test system - add them to yours if you wish.
Processor Time (_Total)
SQL Server:Memory Manager
Target Server Memory (KB)
SQL Server:Memory Manager
Total Server Memory (KB)
Logical Disk
Avg. Disk sec/Transfer
Network Interface
Bytes Total/sec (select the network card the users are on)
SQL Server: General Statistics
SQL Server: General Statistics
User Connections
With those added, you can see them working the counters across the screen. You can leave the default interval for now (a counter every 1 second) but in production you normally want to set this to a higher value, such as 5 seconds or even higher. The more often you collect these metrics, the larger the logging file and the more impact you'll have on your system.
With the counters added, it's now time to make them into a logging file. Right-click the Performance Monitor icon and select New and then Data Collector Set. That brings up a panel where you can create the settings for the log file - the objects and counters you want to track. They will pick up from the screen selections you just made.
You're first asked to name the collector set - I called mine "SQLServer," with no spaces. That will make it a bit easier for the automation I'll create later. You can call yours anything you like. With that selection made, you can click the Next button.
Next you're asked where to save the collection set. I'm putting mine in the TEMP directory on my C drive, but once again you can place yours wherever you like - just remember to note down the location. Now click Finish.
Your counters will continue to display - but you now have a new object on your system. To display it, and control it, expand the Data Collector Sets icon in the left-hand pane. Expand the User Defined object there and you should see the name you typed in a moment ago.
You can double-click this name if you wish, and from there you can edit the objects and counters it contains. Do that now, and change the format of the file to Comma Separated Values (CSV) from the main panel there. This ensures you can open it in a spreadsheet later - or even import the data into SQL Server if you wish.
You can also click the green arrow icon in the top bar to start the collection of that data into the file you specified - but don't do that just yet. While that will collect the data, odds are you won't want to do this by hand each time you want to collect data. It's far better to make a batch file with the commands I'll show you later. In fact, you can just use the commands in the Windows Task Scheduler or even as a PowerShell line in the SQL Server Agent to schedule the collections to perform baselines or in response to an event that you want to know more about.
Now that you have the Data Collector set, open a command prompt, and optionally navigate to where you saved it. In my case, as you recall, it was on the C:\Temp directory.
From there, simply type the commands you see below, substituting the name you gave your Data Collector Set for mine:
LOGMAN "SQLServer" Start
Wait a period of time - in my case I waited just a few minutes - and then type (or run from an automation tool as I described) the command:
LOGMAN "SQLServer" Stop
If you list the contents of that directory you'll see the CSV file you made of the counters. From there it's a simple matter of importing the CSV file into your spreadsheet, or even use the BULK IMPORT command in Transact-SQL or even SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to import the file into a table.
I use Microsoft Office Excel quite often, so I'll import mine into that. I open the directory in Windows, then right-click the file and open it in Excel. I changed the format of the first column to time, and the headings of the second and third columns to something more easy to read - on my system I just collected two counters for this display. Then I made a graph of the results.
In PowerShell, you can even automate the creation of the spreadsheet, create a web page instead, send the data in an e-mail, or even perform calculations on the data if you wish. The possibilities are wide open.
I automate this type of collection at least once a month, and then do comparisons from month to month to be able to predict when I need to add hardware, more aggressively tune systems, or even when I should roll one system over to another. I also use it to see which systems can be consolidated or virtualized.

William J. Archinal
Jun. 3, 1840, Germany
May 10, 1919
Mercer County
New Jersey, USA
Civil War Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient. Born in Germany, he immigrated to the United States in 1860, and was 21 years old when he enlisted in the 30th Ohio Volunteer Infantry on August 22, 1861 at Canal Dover, Ohio. Mustered in as a Private in Company I on August 31, 1861, he would go on to be awarded the CMOH for his bravery at Vicksburg, Mississippi on May 22, 1863. His citation simply reads "Gallantry in the charge of the "volunteer storming party." On the day in question 150 men were called to volunteer to make a "forlorn hope" diversionary charge on the Confederate position known as the Stockade Redan – a charge that was intended to draw fire away from the real planned attack, and a charge no one was expected to return from (to this end, only unmarried men were accepted as volunteers). After charging an open plain in full view of the Confederates, the withering fire was such that most of the volunteers were cut down, and those that made it through the fire sought shelter in a ravine under the Redan. There they stayed and fought until nightfall, when the survivors made their way back to the Union lines. 85 percent of the men who made the charge did not make it back; Private Archinal was one of them, having been captured. Paroled and exchanged, he eventually served in the 1864 Atlanta Campaign, the March to the Sea and the drive through the Carolinas in March and April 1865. After participating in the Grand Review in Washington DC in May 1865, his Civil War service ended on August 13, 1865 when he was mustered out at Little Rock Arkansas, having done his duty for nearly four full years in the field. He later settled in Canton, Ohio, where he became a prominent businessman and served as Postmaster of Canton for four years. He was awarded his Medal on August 10, 1894, thirty one years after he played his part in the tragic "forlorn hope" at Vicksburg. He was one of nine 30th Ohio soldiers to be awarded the Medal of Honor for bravery during the Civil War (the others being Private Uriah Brown, Private William Campbell, Private Sampson Harris, Private William H. Longshore, Private James M. McClelland, Private Wilson McGonagle, Corporal Platt Pearsall, and Private Andrew Schmauch).

A response to Abe Foxman
August 5th, 2009
Dear Abe, I welcome your response and value the opportunity for civil dialogue within the American Jewish community among friends of the State of Israel. Permit me, in that spirit, to raise a few respectful questions in response to your thoughtful letter. First, the Arab world has in fact taken a major concrete step toward true peace with Israel through the Arab Peace Initiative, which offers full recognition and acceptance of Israel in return for a negotiated comprehensive resolution to the conflict. I would ask why this Initiative, which holds exactly the promise that Israel has sought for 61 years – full acceptance by the Arab and Muslim worlds – is so rarely mentioned by the ADL or other American Jewish organizations. The Initiative is not a peace plan ready to be accepted tomorrow. It is, however, a clear statement of what stands to be achieved should negotiations succeed: in the words of the Saudi Foreign Minister just last week, comprehensive regional peace on the basis of two states for two peoples, with an agreed solution to the issue of refugees and an equitable settlement of other key issues from borders to security. Second, the Palestinians have, in fact, begun serious implementation of obligations under the Road Map in terms of security. The Israeli Defense Forces and other security services have publicly acknowledged the strides made by the Palestinian Authority. You are correct when you say that it would be false to say that Israel has never undertaken steps to move toward peace. Why is it not possible to acknowledge that, in fact, the Palestinians too have taken a "concrete step" toward a true peace with Israel? Third, on settlements, I assume we would agree that continued construction has done great damage to Israel and its security, undermining the credibility of the peace process in Palestinian and Arab eyes, and threatening the very possibility of a two-state solution. Yet the settlements continue to grow. When the peace process began in 1993 there were 111,000 settlers in the West Bank alone. Today, according to recent official Israeli counts, that number is over 300,000. A credible call for an end to Palestinian incitement and for the Palestinians and Arab states to uphold their commitments cannot ignore these realities.

Poggio, L; Gimona, A; Brown, I (2012). Spatio-temporal MODIS EVI gap filling under cloud cover: An example in Scotland. ISPRS JOURNAL OF PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND REMOTE SENSING, 72, 56-72.
AbstractTime series of satellite data have an important role in the monitoring of regional and global ecosystem properties. Satellite images often present missing data due to atmospheric aerosol, clouds or other atmospheric conditions. Most methods proposed to minimise the effects of degradation and to restore signal values do not take into account the spatial and temporal correlation of the values in the pixels. The aim of this study was to propose and test a spatio-temporal interpolation method to reconstruct pixel values in MODIS data time series that are missing due to cloud cover or other image noise. The method presented and tested is an example of a hybrid Generalised Additive Model (GAM)-geostatistical space-time model, including the fitting of a smoother spatio-temporal trend and a spatial component to account for local details supported by information in covariates. The method is not limited by the type of noise or degradation of pixels values, latitude, vegetation dynamics and land uses. The application of cloud masks on the target image provided the data for a quantitative validation through the comparison between the modelled EVI values and those from the MODIS product. The method was able to restore data providing very good to adequate responses in series of simulations of missing data. The comparison of distributions showed good agreement and predictive capabilities. The spatio-temporal method always performed better and the use of kriged residuals was helpful for situations with high percentages of missing data. The spatial pattern and the local features were well preserved for cloud coverage <= 20%. For higher percentages of missing data, the results were smoother with less local detail retained, but still showing the general spatial pattern of the variable. The method has proved to be flexible and able to provide reconstructed images reproducing spatial patterns and local features of the measured product, even with substantial amounts of missing pixels.

Lady Gaga Not Welcome in Indonesia, Muslim Group Says
By Ahmad Pathoni
JAKARTA – Indonesia may be home to many Little Monsters, as fans of Lady Gaga are called, but a hard line Muslim group said Monday that the American pop star is not welcome in the country, accusing her of promoting devil worship.
As the economies of many countries in the West struggle, Indonesia has become a favorite stop on the global concert circuit and Lady Gaga is likely to be the latest big arrival. She is scheduled to perform in Jakarta on June 3 but some Muslim conservative leaders have already expressed opposition to the gig.
"Lady Gaga insults all religions. Even Christians in Korea opposed her," said Munarman, a spokesman for the Islamic Defenders' Front (FPI), a group known for its tough stance on vice and liberalism and sometimes violent protests. "She is promoting the worship of Satan."
A group of conservative Christians in South Korea protested against Lady Gaga's concert in their country last month, saying she promoted homosexuality. Mr. Munarman, who like many Indonesians goes by only one name, did not say what the group would do if the concert in Jakarta went ahead as scheduled. "We'll decide later," he said.
Local Gaga fan Rientha Ramdan said here idol's songs are not from the devil.
"Some of the songs in her latest album actually reflect her spirituality as a Catholic," said the Jakarta-based little monster. "I don't think they even listen to Lady Gaga's songs. They only see her posters, which are frightening but they are just for show."
Ticket prices for the concert to be held at the Bung Karno soccer stadium range from 750,000 rupiah to 2.25 million rupiah, unaffordable prices for most Indonesians.
Last week the Jakarta Post reported that the Islamic Defenders Front chairman Rizieq Shihab warned there would be trouble if Gaga's concert wasn't stopped. "If you want chaos in Jakarta, just continue to hold the concert," he was quoted as saying.
Muslim scholar Cholil Ridwan told the Jakarta Globe that Gaga's performances were haram, or forbidden in Islam because the singer, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, wears revealing clothes during concerts.
The Islamic Defenders Front, which has thousands of members, rose notoriety in the early 2000s after its members smashed bars and nightclubs, accusing them of harboring drug addicts and prostitutes. Southeast Asia Real Time has more.

With Singapore's reputation as a global hub, it really isn't surprising that my peers at Capella Singapore hail from all different parts of the world. Even more so, the fact that Capella Singapore is home to guests from every part of the world is yet another reflection of our welcoming nation and the interconnected world that we live in.
Luis Ugarte, Assistant Club Manager at The Club at Capella Singapore (our longterm living accomodations), is a member of the Capella family who has found his calling at Capella Singapore. Originally from Mexico, Luis is a favorite amongst many of our guests, greeting and striking a friendly conversation in Spanish with his fellow 'amigos'.
Luis moved to Switzerland at 19 years of age to study Hospitality Management and the opportunity to work in Singapore presented itself soon after graduation. What Luis enjoys the most about working in a foreign environment amidst various cultures is the constant learning process.
Speaking to Luis over a cup of coffee recently, Luis explained to me his great passion for his work at The Club. "The world is so diverse that there are small things that you would not be able to know unless you experience a culture or a place first hand. Luckily, colleagues and guests are always sharing stories about their countries, languages and cultures. It makes coming to work a constantly eye opening experience for me."
Luis continued, "The guests at The Club at Capella Singapore generally stay for an extended period of time, and because some of them do not speak English as their first language, speaking to them in their native tongue wherever possible helps the conversation to go more in depth, enabling the guest to relate to better relate to staff members, instead of being limited by pleasantries. It is also not rare for native Spanish speakers to approach me for requests because we have similar backgrounds and they are able to elaborate and explain through cultural references."
"During the quarterly in-house events that are held exclusively for the guests at The Club at Capella Singapore, our team helps to introduce the new guests to the existing ones. Once the theme was a Mediterranean night, and we included favourite activities such as Spanish wine-tasting, Mediterranean cuisine and even live belly-dancing acts!"
Indeed Capella Singapore really is quite a special place.

How teacher quality became a national priority.
Myths and Facts About Gun Violence The toll gun violence takes on communities is preventable
Americans Agree. We must protect the Great Lakes.
Survey: Opportunity for Lower-Wage Workers and Their Employers
The Joyce Foundation supports the development of policies that both improve the quality of life for people in the Great Lakes region and serve as models for the rest of the country. We invest in and focus on today's most pressing problems while also informing the public policy decisions critical to creating opportunity and achieving long-term solutions. The work is based on sound research and is focused on where we can add the most value. We partner with others and encourage innovative and collaborative approaches with a regional focus and the potential for a national reach.
Built on the resources of an Iowa family and located for the last 60 years in Chicago, The Joyce Foundation is proud to support the hard work, innovation, and community spirit of people in the Great Lakes region. The region faces the challenges that are epitomized in the "Rust Belt" label. But it is also home to America's largest freshwater resource, its most fertile farmland, an energetic and diverse population, dozens of Fortune 500 companies along with thousands of smaller enterprises, and a cultural heritage ranging from Motown and the Cleveland Symphony to Frank Lloyd Wright and Oprah Winfrey. The Joyce Foundation seeks to ensure the continuing vitality of the Great Lakes region and to make sure that benefits are widely shared among its people.
EDUCATION: The Joyce Foundation is committed to improving education in Midwest cities, especially by eliminating the barriers that prevent low-income students and children of color from reaching their full educational potential. Because research shows that having a first-rate teacher has an enormous impact on student achievement, the Foundation concentrates the bulk of its grant making on improving teacher quality. It also supports other strategies for addressing the achievement gap, including making sure children learn to read by third grade and supporting high quality charter schools and other educational innovations. The Foundation has been a long-time supporter of Chicago school reform, and has also worked in Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland, and currently in Indianapolis and Minneapolis. Over the years, Joyce has explored a variety of strategies, including school finance, parent organizing, educational technology, charter schools, and early childhood education. The Foundation has also consistently supported research identifying and evaluating promising new strategies.
EMPLOYMENT: The Joyce Foundation believes that equipping workers to succeed in good-paying jobs benefits individuals, their families and communities, and the Midwest economy as a whole. Current priorities include promoting training partnerships with major industries and improving community colleges through the Aspen Prize. At the state level, the Foundation's five-year Shifting Gears initiative has dramatically increased access to credentials for low-income adults by streamlining postsecondary, adult basic education, and skills-development systems in five Midwest states. Over the last two decades, the Foundation has tested a variety of strategies to boost workers' skills and help low-skilled workers, women on welfare, ex-offenders, and others who face significant barriers to joining the workforce. Through it all, Joyce has consistently funded research to evaluate promising strategies and learn from the results; Joyce-supported research on welfare-to-work and transitional jobs were major contributions to the field. Amid current economic and fiscal challenges, the Foundation continues to seek innovative strategies that expand access to successful training models and control costs.
ENVIRONMENT: The Joyce Foundation is committed to protecting and restoring the Great Lakes and developing cleaner energy for the Midwest region, especially through investments in energy efficiency. Its Great Lakes priorities include reducing polluted runoff into the Lakes through restoration of watersheds in the Milwaukee and Toledo areas and preventing invasive species from devastating the Lakes' ecosystem; a recent Joyce-funded study analyzed the feasibility of breaking the connection between the Lakes and the Mississippi River system, through which many invasives come. Over the decades Joyce has supported a network of advocacy groups that have won major policy advances, including the federally funded Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and the binational commitments embodied in Great Lakes Compact. The Foundation has also sought improvements in broader national policies that affect the Lakes, including transportation, agriculture, industrial pollution, and climate change. Its work on energy has included funding on the human health effects of coal and shifts toward high speed rail.
CULTURE: Nurturing a diverse and thriving culture is an important part of the Joyce Foundation's dedication to improving the quality of life in the Midwest. The Foundation supports community-based arts groups in Chicago and encourages mainstream arts groups to expand their audiences, boards and staffs to reflect the city's diversity. Joyce grant making also supports expanding opportunities for individual artists through fellowships, residencies and commissions. Since 2003, The Joyce Awards have enabled Midwest arts groups (and, beginning in 2013, other groups) to commission new works by artists of color. Recognizing that technology creates new possibilities for art-making and community building, in 2012 the Foundation began seeking projects that engage audiences through new media and link the arts to community revitalization efforts. The Joyce Foundation has been a longtime funder of such Chicago groups as Black Ensemble Theater, the Cambodian Heritage Museum, and Luna Negra Dance Theater.
DEMOCRACY: The Joyce Foundation seeks to ensure the vibrancy of American democracy through its grant making on campaign finance reform, fair and open redistricting, voting rights, governmental ethics, and judicial independence. Joyce has a long history in this area, from funding presidential debates to supporting work on voter registration and full participation in the U.S Census. Beginning in the mid-1990s, the Foundation focused its efforts on combatting the overwhelming influence of big money on political campaigns. It has supported the growth of a strong network of public interest groups in Midwest states, which collaborate through the Midwest Democracy Network; and it has also funded policy development and research by national groups ranging from the Brookings Institution to the Cato Institute.
GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION: Each year nearly 100,000 people are shot in the U.S., and nearly 30,000 of them die. The Joyce Foundation seeks effective public policies to reduce this toll. Polls show that most Americans, including most gun-owners, favor reasonable laws to keep firearms away from criminals, domestic abusers, and people with mental illness, but the "gun rights" drumbeat has drowned out such common-sense approaches. The Foundation is embarking on efforts to educate the public, policy makers and the media about the toll of gun violence in American communities and potential solutions that honor American traditions while protecting the public safety. Since beginning its work on gun violence in 1993, Joyce has supported policy development and advocacy by state-based groups, physicians, universities, and law enforcement. It has also supported development of legal strategies to defend existing gun laws in the wake of the Supreme Court Heller decision. As in its other program areas, the Foundation seeks approaches based on sound data and research. Starting with a prototype at the Medical College of Wisconsin in the 1990s, the Foundation helped establish the National Violent Death Reporting System, a central database that is now maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Joyce has also funded research exploring the relationship between guns and such problems as suicide, domestic violence, and risks to children.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is slowly coming down in price, with Amazon the latest to adjust its numbers and offer a better deal on the 7-inch slate. Having been offering the Tab at £529.99 just prior to launch, the Froyo tablet is now listed at £479.
There's no sign yet of Amazon US discounting the Tab any more - they're still listing the T-Mobile version at $699.99 agreement-free - but we're hoping that, as launch hype settles and all four US carriers get involved, prices will fall amid the competition. More on the Galaxy Tab in our full review.

Clinical and experimental observations have indicated that a mechanical and a chemical factor are important in the healing of gastric ulcers and ulcers of the upper intestinal tract. All widely used medical managements, whether using intensive alkalization, as in Sippy's method, or following the methods of Lenhartz and Smithies, avoid trauma caused by coarse and irritating foods.
Ivy and Fauley,1 in their experimental work, have demonstrated that the mechanical, chemical and mucosal susceptibility factors are most important in the etiology of intestinal ulcers following gastroenterostomy. They demonstrated that roughage in the diet is conducive to the formation of a chronic gastric ulcer in rabbits.
Kim and Ivy,2 by using mucin, prevented the formation of ulcers in dogs with biliary fistula, whereas 60 per cent of the dogs developed ulcers when not fed mucin.

|Fire Suppression Efficiency Screening Method
|December 03, 1997
|Most of the current methods for fire suppression efficiency screening (e.g., cup burners) are designed for screening agents that can be delivered in the form of vapor. The search for alternatives to halons for fire suppression applications has identified several classes of condensed-phase compounds that may be delivered in the form of droplets or aerosols. The objective of this work is to design and build a bench-scale apparatus suitable for evaluating fire suppression efficiencies of these new advanced liquid agents. Five important design attributes have been considered during the inception of the apparatus: (1) applicability, (2) amenable to analysis, (3) repeatability, (4) flexibility, and (5) operability. There are three major parts to the apparatus: (1) burner, (2) flow facility, and (3) droplet/aerosol generator.

Microsoft Photosynth: Wowing it up for the Crowd
- Jun 01, 2007 9:17 PM EST
- [num] Comments
Remember Microsoft's promises of "The Wow," during the launch of Vista? Remember how those momentary glints turned quickly into "The Meh," and then the "The I Think I'm Going to Stick With XP?" One of the most important lessons to take away from Microsoft's recent OS shenanigans is that, while looking neat is an important part of launching a software app, there are a few equally, if not more important aspects, such as, you know, functionality.
Watching Microsoft's Blaise Aguera y Arcas demo the company's preview of Photosynth, in this clip from the TED Conference, I can feel The Wow building in my marrow. Photosynth is one of those "no release dates" dealies, with the TED representative in the video saying, "a few years from now," which explains why the damned thing looks like something out of Minority Report--everything a few years off looks like something out of Minority Report.
With that in mind, we'll try not to get too excited about this, but still...wow. The program stitches together a ridiculous amount of data, including a massive number of photos shared on sites like Flickr. Navigation is very slick, very 3D. The app also has some awesome rendering capabilities. During the demo, Aguera y Arcas stitches together a 3D rendering of the Notre Dame cathedral, issuing photos found on Flickr. It's really one of those you have to see it to understand proposals, and as such, I advise everyone to take a look at the demo and wow quietly to themselves.

Cheyenne Women's Imaging Pavilion, CBS News Channel 5 and Cheyenne Radiology Group, in cooperation with the American Cancer Society and the Susan G. Komen Cancer Foundation, have all teamed up to bring you Buddy Check 5 – a program designed to help remind you and your buddy to do monthly self examinations as a means of preventing breast disease in its early stages.
Please do a breast self-examination on the 5th of every month, and then call and remind your buddy to do the same. You could save each other's lives by following this simple program. Hundreds of women already have. Please note that the information provided here is not to be used for self-diagnosing or to replace the services of a medical professional. Please consult with your doctor.FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Am I at risk for breast cancer?
All people are at risk for breast cancer, however the risk for women is much higher than for men. Being a woman is the number one risk factor for breast cancer and your risk increases as you get older. Although breast cancer is more common for women after the age of 40, young women can also develop the disease.I exercise and eat right. Am I at risk for breast cancer?
Again, breast cancer can strike in anyone, however leading a healthy lifestyle with a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, maintaining a good exercise program and avoiding tobacco products may reduce your risk. Please check with your doctor for other ways of reducing your own risk factors. My mother had breast cancer a few years ago. Does that mean that I will get breast cancer too? Although having a family history of breast disease is seen as an increased risk factor for developing breast cancer, most women who get breast cancer have no family history of the disease. If you are concerned about your risk factors because of a family history of cancer, please check with your doctor.Steps To Breast Self-Examination
At least once per month (on the 5th or just as your period ends) check for any change in the normal look or feel of your breasts. Report any changes to your doctor or nurse. Go for regular breast exams and ask about a mammogram.Step 1: Lying down
Look for changes in the shape, size, or appearance of your breasts. Look for dimpling, rash, or puckering of the skin or nipple, nipple discharge, or any change from normal. Inspect your breasts in four steps:

The Last Words of My English Grandmother
by William Carlos Williams
The Last Words of My English Grandmother Introduction
In A Nutshell
William Carlos Williams was a double agent. This mild-mannered doctor by day was one of America's coolest avant garde poets by night. Though he was sometimes overshadowed by poets like T.S. Eliot (whom he wasn't afraid to talk some junk about), W.C.W. had a long and successful career as a poet, while at the same time maintaining his medical practice in his hometown of Rutherford, NJ. (Talk about an over achiever.) This guy was crazy. He'd spend all day delivering babies, write a bunch of poems at night, and then he'd head to NYC on the weekends to rub shoulders with the who's who of artsy-fartsy folk. Yes, this was actually his life.
Williams's career was jumpstarted by his friendship with Ezra Pound, who he met while in med school at the University of Pennsylvania, along with fellow poet H.D. (a.k.a. Hilda Doolittle). All three became members of the Imagist movement of poets, whose goal was to get rid of all the fancy shmancy rules and forms of old school poetry and instead create poems which used simple language to paint precise pictures of their subjects. Later in his career, W.C.W. became totally obsessed with creating a uniquely American style of poetry, which drew from the natural rhythms of everyday American speech and took its subjects from everyday American life.
In "The Last Words of My English Grandmother," all of Williams's goals as a poet are totally achieved. You've got the precise language of the Imagists mixed right in there with the casual sounding speech of Williams's distinctive American style. An earlier (much looonger) version of the poem was published in 1924. In the earlier version, the speaker takes on a much more prominent role. The much slimmer, 1939 revised version, is the one we hip you to in this module. It puts all of its attention on this grandmother from England. (Oh, and in case you were wondering.... yes, Williams did really have an English grandmother. You can find all the biographical deets you want about Williams here.)
Why Should I Care?
Watching someone approach death is no fun (to say the least, right?). Whether that person has lived a long life, like in William Carlos Williams's "The Last Words of My English Grandmother," or if it's a younger person who's sick, it's super-hard to deal with. Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, most of us will have to face it eventually. Hey, not trying to bring you down, here, but it's just the way it goes.
Poems like "The Last Words of My English Grandmother" are great to turn to, whether you're directly dealing with this or when you're just dwelling on the fact that you might have to one day. No, the poem isn't some sentimental, inspirational thing, but it's not all doom and gloom either. Instead, it's a clear-eyed picture of the realities of watching someone die, which somehow manages to be shot through with a wry sense of humor.
The poem doesn't pull any punches, but it doesn't pull you down either. Sometimes the most comforting thing is the truth, the way this poem delivers it, and the thought that we're all in this together.

Will Sarah Palin finally call for Ted Stevens to resign?
Sarah Palin's pal Ted Stevens has been found guilty on all seven counts of failing to report gifts on Senate forms. Remember the story we were fed about Palin being anti-establishment and going up against her own party in Alaska? This video shows her this summer making it very clear that she has always respected Ted Stevens, now a convicted felon.
I wonder if she'll answer questions about whether he should continue to serve in the Senate. … It's easy to understand why she had been reluctant early on. After all, he is the dean of the old-boys club in Alaska, and, as she has said, she has always respected him.

I had heavy vaginal bleeding yesterday, and early this morning I had a bit of light bleeding over two hours and then nothing since 1 am. What could be the cause of this? I would be very grateful for any advice.READ MORE
Cause of difference in vaginal bleeding from late night to early morning?
Hi there
When did you start your period? Just yesterday? Periods can really vary with flow and when they start and stop. I am not sure I would worry too much, but if you are concerned, please give your gynecologist or doctor a call.
Hang in there, and thank you for your question.
Five Things You Should Know about Your Period
I started between 2345 and midnight on the 5th Dec,it was moderate/heavy that day then light from 2330 on the 6th - 0100 on the 7th then nothing since then until some light bleeding late this afternoon which I noticed at 1600 (9th Dec Aus time).
So,are you saying they can stop for a day half way through? Usually I bleed every day for 5 days. I have never had no bleeding for one day then more the next. What could cause that? Could it be caused by poor diet?
I have been very regular since I started at 16 (I am now 20) and have never been even a day early or late except for a few rare occasions when I have it twice a month in 21 day cycle.
My partner and I were hoping this was implantation bleeding as we are trying to get prregnant, and have been since January.
Thanks for your help.READ MORE
sorry...actually, it was the 6th I startedREAD MORE

Or that the EU ignored their own monetary laws from day one and that Greece was looking for an easy payday. Both sides screwed up and no matter what, the EU is doomed but Greece is going to bleed.
I don't drink TURKISH coffee...and you can no longer afford it "dude".
"Street?" Be honest your so-called home isn't located on any street in Toronto, or any other city for that matter... Nope, instead it has a lid on top of it and gets tossed around every Tuesday & Friday when the garbage truck comes around.
I'm not worried, comrade Tsipras & Varoufakis are...or why else are they now #$%$ off the Italians and others with talk of bankruptcy in order to drive up Italian bond rates? Let us know after you read the latest SYRIZA talking points.
Nope, just pointing out your obvious shortcomings... Now run along, it's already past your bedtime.
So does Michelle O.
I know...I know, another disappointment... Obama completely disappoints again. Oh well, maybe he poisoned Merkel's bottled water with a slow acting agent instead. Greek media is reporting it to be the case...so don't lose hope yet my fellow comrades!
What? Are you Greeks actually expecting Obama to rescue your failed state? Not that would be down right funny (pun intended) if it wasn't so pathetic.
Actually it only took 3 days for the Germans to capture ALL of southern Greece--the only part that really mattered ... They entered Athens on the 27 of April and Greece's southern shore on the 30th, thereby encircling and capturing 7,000 British Empire forces and ending the battle with a decisive victory. Oh yeah, their were Brits fighting & dying (thousands of them) for the Greeks as well. Or did you conveniently forget about that as well?
It's ALL their fault!
[ According to a Proto Thema report, the two men left frustrated because, allegedly, the Greek officials did not present them with any figures and data while at the same time the new government, they said, "promises everything to everyone." ]
Because they didn't have any...only usual empty promised, more groveling and a reluctant prayer... Truly sad indeed.
Hell no, Obama wants to sell weapons to the Ukrainians and Merkel doesn't... That's the 'real' reason for the meeting. Greece is but a nuisance at this point... The truth this, both have already come to terms with cutting Greece off as soon as Tsipras got elected. Now it's all about photo opts saying the right words while behind the scenes the ropes are slowly being cut.
Tell me friend, how will this leftist government realize it's ideology without incurring debt? The irony is that leftist ideology is only possible through money printing and deficit spending so blaming "central bankers" is pretty ridiculous. Austerity didn't cause the Greek depression, their collapsing socialist economic structure did. Austerity is the result, not the cause.
They got a helping hand from the troika bailout and they are biting the only hand that's feeding them. Instead of electing communist rabble-rousers, the Greeks should have been busy building a manufacturing base, and at least making an effort to be productive people. This proves that they are absolutely hopeless and doomed to failure. An ancient, degenerated people with nothing left to offer... Truly sad.
...came to work last and on foot.
W-T-H? Are these guys and the Greek media that inept, is that all they care about? Photo ops?
Can't believe we're relying on amateurs, populist demagogues, never truly employed student organizers, professional undergraduates and hard left-winger communist Wahhabis to save the day. So sad.

The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter fleet was just grounded a week ago after a runway fire. The cost of this plane is growing….now to about $112 million each. The Pentagon expects to spend a lot of money on them — about $400 billion. $400 billion is a lot of money!!
If the F-35 is so expensive, and has so many problems, why are we doing this? Why would anyone continue to fund it? Especially since our current fighter planes do such a great job and we don't have dogfights in the air anymore. I am all for protection and national security, but is this prudent? No one can compete with us in the air.
If this is a great idea, I am all for it — but if the F-35 has so many problems, and so incredibly costly, is this smart and a good idea for the nation? And should not any 'extra' money we have ($400 billion?) be used to help our vets?
The answer to why Congress may be pushing a bad project (the dirty little secret) lies below:
"An upfront question with any program now is: How many congressional districts is it in?" said Thomas Christie, a former senior Pentagon acquisitions official.
In the case of the F-35, the short answer is: a lot. Counting all of its suppliers and subcontractors, parts of the program are spread out across at least 45 states. That's why there's no doubt lawmakers will continue to fund the program even though this is the third time in 17 months that the entire fleet has been grounded due to engine problems. In fact, in the version of the defense appropriations bill passed by the House, lawmakers agreed to purchase 38 planes in 2015, four more than the Pentagon requested.
We need Congress to be smart about our money, and careful about it — not spending it to get themselves re-elected in their districts. Leaders make the right decisions — not selfish ones.

|Mapping Heterogeneity in NanoTiO2/Polymer Coatings Using Confocal Microscopy and Depth Sensing Indentation
|October 14, 2009
|The purpose of this study is to develop relevant metrology to measure the appropriate structure-property relationship at a proper length scale to understand the interplay between nanoparticle and polymeric matrix. In this paper, we present the preliminary results using a combination of laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) and depth sensing indentation (DSI) techniques to probe and map surface/subsurface heterogeneity of the nanoparticle-filled polymeric coatings and to relate to their surface mechanical properties. Nanoparticle-polymer coating systems of different dispersion states were prepared using particle-polymer interactions in different polymer matrices. Two types of TiO2 nanoparticles (with and without surface treatment) were chosen to mix into two different polymeric matrices. The heterogeneity in surface and subsurface was characterized using LSCM. The resultant surface mechanical properties were measured by DSI using different sizes and shapes of indenter tip. The best correlation was found for nanoparticle dispersion (cluster size and distribution) and surface modulus mapping while using a pyramidal shape tip.

SIKESTON - Girls and boys are equal, the disabled become able, the shy experiment with bravery, the slow are rehearsed to perfection and the gifted become part of the whole.
The mission of the Missoula Children's Theatre is to help develop life skills in all children through participation in the performing arts and to show them everyone is necessary for the show to go on.
Local and area youths from grades 1-12 will have an opportunity to have that experience in a couple of weeks.
When the MCT staff rolls into town next month they'll be looking for 50-60 young people to perform in the upcoming production of "Treasure Island." Auditions are scheduled for 4 p.m. March 11 at Middle School with the actual production set for 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. March 16 at the Sikeston High School Field House.
The upcoming play is an original adaption of Robert Louis Stevenson's novel based around Jim Hawkins, a mischievous boy who lives with his mother and six sisters in a village on the coast of Maine.
Longing for adventure, Jim comes under the hypnotic spell of the legendary pirate, Long John Silver. While waiting on tables at the family inn, he finds a treasure map and with the help of villainous Silver, sails uncharted seas with only the ragged map and a flock of seagulls as guides.
Always up for adventure, Jim's friends say farewell to their parents and serve as cabin boys for Silver and his band of pirates. Once on the island, nights are sleepless as true colors are revealed in the hero's quest for a happy ending.
Then at last, the treasure is found and hand in hand they're homeward bound.
For almost 30 years MCT has provided education, entertainment and enrichment for all ages through the performing arts. The Missoula Children's Theatre International Tour Project, the largest touring children's theater program in the United States, puts on productions that are original adaptions of classic children's stories or fairy tales.
"They take a story everyone knows and really embellish it," explained Mary Ellen Story, project chairperson. "Since they have 50 to 60 kids in the play they have to make it longer so they take a lot of artistic liberties."
While the youths are participating in the project, they are also learning creativity, social skills, goal achievement, communication skills and self-esteem. This season over 45,000 young performers will be cast in all 50 states, Canada, Europe, South American and Japan.
But as Story stressed, those interested in auditioning need to be aware there is a lot of hard work and commitment required for those selected.
During the week-long residency, a team of two staff tour actor/directors will develop and produce the full-scale musical. Auditions, intensive rehearsals, workshops and finished performances for the public are all accomplished in a short amount of time.
"Kids who want to be in this production have to be able to commit a whole week to it which means rescheduling piano lessons and other activities they are involved in," Story said. "They only go through the play with all the cast members once before the live performance. So, If you're considering doing this you really need to take it seriously and decide whether or not you can make that entire week's commitment."

Samson Agonistes
by John Milton
Samson Agonistes The Chorus and Manoa (1441—1508) Summary
- But suddenly, they see Manoa, Samson's father, heading toward them in hurry. They notice that he seems to be in a good mood and excited to see Samson—maybe he's bringing good news! Well, okay, probably not.
- Manoa says he's come here in a hurry not to see Samson forced to participate in this shameful spectacle, but because he thinks he's found a way to procure Samson's freedom.Hooray! Details, please?
- Manoa explains that he's been to see each and every Philistine leader—at home, at work, at the shopping mall, wherever—begging with all kinds of fatherly sadness for them to accept a ransom for his son.
- Some of the leaders were totally mean and vindictive. (These were also the leaders who were the most devoted to worshipping Dagon, duh.) Some others had a more moderate take on things, but were also just trying to find an angle for their own gain (which Manoa can't afford). Finally, though, he found some reasonable people who did feel that Philistine revenge had gone far enough. They thought that a reasonable ransom would be a good idea. But, whoa now, what was that loud noise?
- The Chorus thinks that it's probably the sound of the Philistine crowd at suddenly seeing Samson.
- Manoa says that he will definitely pay Samson's ransom even if it costs him all his savings. He'd rather be the poorest person in Israel than be rich knowing his own son was still in prison. And he's not leaving without Samson.
- The Chorus remarks that fathers often give up everything for their sons and take care of them and that even though it's typical for sons to then later care for their fathers, Samson won't be able to.Because he's blind. In case you missed that.
- Manoa responds that he'll be more than happy to look after Samson once he's home and surrounded by honors for all of his past bravery, including his special hair. He's convinced that God still has big plans for Samson.
- The Chorus basically agrees. Since they're Samson's relatives too, they are also glad to think of Samson safe and sound.

Some of the most famous monologues in English drama are Shakespeare's monologues, with many of them appearing in three of his plays – Hamlet , Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet .
In case you weren't 100% sure, a monologue is simply a long speech by a character to other characters, or sometimes a crowd. This compares to a soliloquy, which is the act of a character speaking their thoughts aloud, often when they're by themselves but sometimes with others around (read an in-depth article on soliloquies vs monologues).
Shakespeare frequently makes use of both soliloquys and monologues in his plays. Among Shakespeare's most famous monologues are Henry V's 'Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more' speech, where the king is leading his troops into battle, and Marc Antony's 'Friends, Romans and countrymen, lend me your ears' speech in Julius Caesar, where Antony is addressing the Roman crowd after the assassination of Caesar.
Shakespeare Monologues by Play:
Mark Blum says:
I find the words spoken by Hamlet, Act 3 Scene 1 to be so profound !
To reflect upon my life and experience I think -How eternal this is in that it applies to life today after all these centuries as an accurate depiction of life.
Someone once stated this is a depressive statement.
I don't agree.
I think it just so real and deep in thought to reflect with ones own soul about the realities of everyday life.
While Hamlet was upset, I do not think he was really depressed as much as reflective and upset about life as he reflected upon his disappointment in so much.
felicia says:
i love hamlet

Contains Soy
Posted by WrensNest on Mar 16, 2013
It has come to my attention that this product is made from soy. I am changing to the Now version. It cost almost twice as much, but soy is just poison for the body (see Dr. Mercola). Somehow forgot to check this product.
Big fat capsules overbloated with filler.
Posted by Reviewer1485718 on Oct 29, 2011
Phosphatidyl Serine is a great supplement for memory enhancement, but this product has an unnecessary amount of filler in it and the capsule is larger than it needs to be. Jarrow PS100 (120 caps) has the same amount of nutrient in it, with a smaller capsule. Both are equally effective. Staatsburg, New York
It works
Posted by Reviewer3362783 on Jul 21, 2011
Dementia runs in my family and so I am taking these pills in order to try to avoid the same outcome. I've only been taking them for about 6 mos or so, but I definitely notice a big difference. I can remember details much better. The thought processes are quick. I've had people comment to me that I have a fantastic memory. Guess that means they are working. I'm 61 and I get frustrated with people my own age cause they forget things and I'm always having to bring them up to speed. It's good to know my mind is still sharp.
Posted by sweetheart on Jan 18, 2013
This product often saves my days. It's very calming and helps me concentrate. Very good price, too!
Excellent product
Posted by 5594108344231563819 on Jan 17, 2014
Fast shipping, works excellent for improving memory. It lower cortisol levels which is usually good, not for me as I have already lower and high doses causes insomnia and drowsiness, still at low doses it works as it should
Boosted my memory
Posted by Reviewer1172432 on Nov 06, 2012
Both me and my husband feel that this product does boost memory. Now I can recall things a lot better and don't have to wonder "Did I do this / where do I put my stuff." I've also tried the Country Life brand, which I think has a even greater effect on me than Doctor's Best, but it's siginficantly more expensive. Also neither brands help me in fighting brain fog, lose weight or sleep better. I sleep better only after I started taking a 40-minute walk at least 3 times a week since a few weeks ago, so I guess taking supplements is only part of a healthy lifestyle. This brand does contains soy.
Love it!
Posted by Reviewer1908266 on Jan 25, 2011
I can't take softgels filled with soy oil, which many of the phosphatidyl serine products use. Although this product is derived from soy, so far the capsule is working for me. My brain focus was better from the first time I took it, and I sleep more deeply. I have to take two at breakfast and lunch, and three at supper. But I'm very grateful that so far I seem to be tolerating this very well.
very good
Posted by Reviewer2525926 on Sep 04, 2014
I use this sometimes when I'm very tired or stressed, because it makes me much more calmer, balanced and it clears my head. However, it's too expensive for me to take 2-3 times a day, which I would really like to do. It's really very good.
I can't tell it's effect
Posted by 4946238255411865607 on May 28, 2015
I take 1 after meal as a precaution. I am ok. My mind is clear. Memory as good as usual. No side effect. I will continue to take
Doctor's Best Phosphatidyl Serine 100mg DRB-00220
Posted by Reviewer3099879 on Nov 16, 2011
Keep taking the Phosphatidyl Serine in the hope that it would have prevented my memory lapses due to my Pyroluria but maybe they would be a lot worse if I didn't take this product!!!

Tracking Devices for Diabetes Patients
In this article
Tracking Exercise continued...
If your device records many restless nights, talk to your doctor. Waking up a lot in the night can be a sign your blood sugar is getting too low.
- Sleep duration. Not sleeping enough can push your blood sugar out of whack. Sleep tracking can reveal the truth.
If you see how little sleep you are getting night after night, you might be inspired to turn off the TV an hour early and get to bed.
Food. Most fitness trackers have web sites or apps to enter in what you've eaten, or plan to eat, and then show you the calories.
They also balance the calories you burn with the ones you eat, so if you work out a lot, you can eat a tad more.
Many devices sync with diabetes-specific tracking apps for your carbs and insulin doses, so you can see all your data at once in easy-to-read graphs and charts.
Add Other Devices to Your Arsenal
A wireless scale. If you're overweight, losing some pounds helps lower your chances that diabetes will get much worse.
Think about trading your old bathroom scale for one that records data. Then, you can see trends in your weight over time.
Fitbit, iHealth, and Withings make wireless scales that automatically upload your weight to a secure web site.
If you're really into sharing, you can tweet your weigh-ins or post them on Facebook. Talk about motivation!
A home blood pressure cuff. High blood pressure and diabetes is a common and dangerous combination. Keep a closer eye on yours at home.
iHealth makes a wireless blood pressure monitor that automatically uploads readings to a web site so you can track it.
It also syncs with other iHealth products, like its fitness tracker, wireless scale, and glucose monitor, so you get a more complete picture of your health.
Glucose monitors and apps. Read up on the new wave of high-tech glucose monitors and phone apps.
With gadgets like Ditto, Glooko, and the iHealth Wireless Smart Gluco-Monitoring System, you can store your glucose monitor's readings in the cloud. That means you use less space on your phone or tablet.
