Psoriasis is a disorder which is characterized by rapid multiplication of skin cells on the skin's surface. These extra skin cells develop into silvery scales, which are often dry and itchy. It may also lead to formation of painful red patches on the skin. This disorder might produce symptoms, which flare up and reduce periodically. There is no cure for psoriasis; treatments however can make the symptoms manageable.
The symptoms of psoriasis include red patches on the skin and scaly and dry skin. The red patches might be itchy and one might often experience a burning sensation around the area. The joints in your body may also become stiff and swollen.
The exact cause of psoriasis has not been ascertained. The accepted theory is that psoriasis occurs when the immune system attacks the healthy skin cells. There is a type of white blood cell called the 'T cell', whose function is to combat harmful virus or bacteria in the body. With Psoriasis or any other autoimmune disorder, these T cells start attacking the healthy (skin) cells.
Overactive 'T Cells' may trigger other responses in the body, thus, leading to excess production of skin cells and white blood cells. The excess cells move to the skin surface and end up causing the red painful patches.
Treatment options to manage psoriasis
Although there's no cure for psoriasis as such, the symptoms can be controlled. The treatment options for psoriasis are:
1. Topical treatments: Topical treatments involve application of creams and lotions. They have been mentioned below:
I. Corticosteroids: Corticosteroid creams or lotions reduce the excess skin cell production, thus, reducing inflammation. They are generally not used as a long term treatment as they cause skin thinning.
II. Vitamin D analogues: A synthetic form of Vitamin D, it helps in slowing down skin cell growth.
III. Salicylic acid: This treatment is used to reduce scaling on the skin, caused due to psoriasis. It is usually administered along with other medications.
2. Light therapy: Light therapy involves using sunlight or artificial light to reduce inflammation and scaling. It helps in reducing the activity of T cells in the body.
3. Oral medications
In case of severe symptoms, oral medications are prescribed. Medications such methotrexate helps in reducing the excess production of skin cells. Cyclosporine is a drug that is used to suppress the erroneous immune system response.

So keeping the immune system healthy and strong is very much important to live a disease free life.
Generally, people believe that a healthy lifestyle with full of healthy food and exercise lead us to a healthy and immune body. But the fact is that the healthy body needs a healthy mind and soul as well.

This conveys a very important message to people that strengthening and boosting the immune system is a must in any period of life. A well-planned strategy is needed to get rid of the unwanted attack of the harmful foreign bodies. If you are thinking that how to boost up your immunity then don't worry, various simple, natural and effective measures are available to boost up the functioning of your immune system.

Many people try to find out medicines to the internet or some referral books but the consultation of some expert physician is very important as in homeopathy use of every medicine varies with the symptoms or characteristics of the individual. Homeopathy is the one of the best health care system to give effective results and can boost up your immunity in the minimal time period.
An orthopaedic fracture is a serious issue that will require lots of care for the bones to heal and re-join. A broken bone is usually plastered so that the tissue may grow back together by fusing eventually, over a period of weeks. When these bones begin to rebuild in an effort to come together, the new bones are called soft callus. This will require lots of energy, which primarily comes from calories. This ensures that essential proteins like amino acids can be taken from the right type of food which would stimulate good blood flow.
So, let us take a look at the best diet that one can follow in order to recover from a fracture.
- Kale: Leafy green vegetables and herbs like kale can help in supplying good amount of protein and iron as well as calcium, which is highly important for good and strong bones. One can also find plenty of calcium in salmon and other kinds of sea food like sardines; consuming these can speed up the process. Sea vegetables like seaweed can also help in the process.
- Yogurt: Calcium can be supplied by various other kinds of food including yogurt, which has two kinds of amino acids. These amino acids are lysine and glutamine, which can assist the bones in swift calcium absorption for better recovery of the broken bones.
- Spinach: This is a very important ingredient in the bone healing process thanks to its dual elements of calcium and zinc, which come together to cause the appropriate chemical reaction for bone rebuilding. Other zinc heavy food items include pumpkin seeds and wheat germ as well as red meat.
- Broccoli: Ingredients like broccoli are rich in Vitamin K1, which is known to very good for the bone recovery process. This vitamin helps in mineralisation of the bone so that they may fuse with each other and form a new mass. One can have up to one cup of this green vegetable per day for a quick and effective fracture recovery process. Other ingredients like cheese and raw dairy products are known to have plenty of this vitamin as well.
- Green Bell Peppers: High on vitamin C which helps in producing the skin and tissue structuring element called collagen, green bell peppers are an excellent ingredient that can help you in your fracture healing process. Vitamin C can also be found in citrus fruits like oranges, strawberries as well as tomatoes.
- Milk: While milk has plenty of calcium, it also has another important ingredient called vitamin D. When calcium and vitamin D come together, the bones tend to heal much faster as vitamin D helps the bones in absorbing the calcium at a much high rate.
Consuming too much alcohol can cause people a lot of problems like nausea and headache. Additionally, it can also mess up with your bowel movements and affects your motions by giving you loose motions or constipation. Alcohol hinders digestion, causes dehydration and drying out, discourages glucose metabolism and compromises the working of the central and peripheral nervous systems. The combined effect of these components is the primary reason for chronic constipation, identified with alcohol misuse.
Here are a few reasons why and how alcohol can mess up with your poop:
- Dehydration: Alcohol tends to dehydrate the body almost as much as a session in a sauna does. That is the reason your mouth feels so dry the next morning. Once your body gets dehydrated, it works extra minutes to recover the liquids and electrolytes from any place it can find them, including from the substance of your stomach. Accordingly, stools become dry, hard and difficult to pass.
- Powerlessness to move bowels: Alcohol smothers intestinal peristalsis and kills the urge to move your bowels. For the same reason, it kills your decision making ability. Inability to move your bowel when you want, expands, impacts and solidifies the already dried out stools until it gets too difficult to go out without straining and subjecting yourself to anorectal harm. These are the two issues that usually precede chronic constipation.
- Loss of electrolytes: Alcohol causes loss of electrolytes that are vital to hold dampness in the poop. Eg. Sodium and potassium. Water maintenance in the body and stools requires sodium and potassium, the minerals known as electrolytes. These are not stored in the body for the same prolonged way as calcium or magnesium and they require constant replenishment. Since alcohol stimulates urination and regularly causes diarrhea and nausea, these minerals are rapidly lost.
- Occupies digestion: Alcohol in excess causes extreme vomiting that encourages the majority of the above conditions. Liquor hinders stomach absorption and causes deferred stomach emptying. This condition is known as gastroparesis. After around 8 to 10 hours inside the stomach, undigested proteins begin to spoil. This can lead to loss of appetite and the inability to eat proper meals.
- Diarrhea: Alcohol affects your glucose level to such a degree that it might bring about loss of bowel capacity control and result in loose bowels, with symptoms like vomiting and nausea. Just like sometimes the knees go powerless on you from an excessive amount of alcohol, so does your bowel movement. In turn, diarrhea and vomiting are caused due to excess intake of alcohol may bring about serious irritation of the whole GI tract and digestive system, and fester in the body for quite a while.

The only thing that can ruin a great meal is the feel of a bloated tummy afterwards! Usually any abnormal swelling or increase in diameter of the abdominal area is termed as bloating. The condition has become very common and is experienced by people around the world. Poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, high level of stress and need for daily medications seem to be making people more prone to this epidemic. It can sometimes also be a result of an underlying health issue that you might be unaware of. The good thing is that there are signs of it which can be watched out for.
What to Keep an Eye Out For: To start off, there is the sign which is considered to be rather obvious by many flatulence. If a person wants to get rid of flatulence for an extended period, he or she should consider this to be a warning.
Bloating itself can be a sign for other problems which are deeper. The prime example of this happens to be coeliac disease. A bloating of the stomach which is accompanied by pain and a puzzling loss of weight could be signs of this disease.
If a fever seems to keep recurring without a cause which is explainable, it could be a sign of bloating. As a matter of fact, this sign along with bloating also does signal some infection, which should be looked at immediately by a medical professional. Also, too much stress on a person could be a sign of impending bloating issues.
Getting Rid of Bloating: In order to cure bloating which is caused by flatulence, an easy and elementary solution is to eat your food slowly and to chew properly. In serious case, seeking adequate medical help is important.
When a person finds that he or she seems to be suffering from bloating very often, it is a good idea to maintain a food diary. This will help find whether there are certain trigger foods which cause bloating. The pattern can be discussed with your doctor and concrete steps can be taken towards a complete solution.
Simple lifestyle changes beyond the diet can also make a difference. These include correction of sleeping and eating habits of a person. You are also required to be very regular with this.
Bloating always has some signs which are associated with its causes so it makes good sense to be aware of the same as the saying goes, 'a stitch in time saves nine'!

Homeopathy is the best alternative to avoid surgery specially, in the cases of piles, fissure, fistula. There are many cases that were recommended operation but with homeopathy not only they were treated successfully but the surgery was also not done.
Piles or haemorrhoids cause severe bleeding in the anal region due to an abnormal enlargement of the rectal veins. The bleeding occurs as a result of a sudden increase in pressure in the rectal area. The haemorrhoids which tend to grow in the exterior part of the anus tends to be severe painful as compared to the internal haemorrhoids (which are invisible and grows in the interior portion of the rectal area).
The major causes of haemorrhoids are genetic factors, pelvic tumours, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, lack of regular physical exercise, undiagnosed and chronic gastric disorders like dysentery, diarrhoea or constipation and a significant increase in the weight of the uterus during pregnancy.
The sign of piles might include intense pain and irritation in the rectal area along with the presence of blood in the faeces and abnormal swelling of the affected area. If taken in a prescribed dosage, homeopathy can be very effective in curing piles. The most beneficial homeopathic preparations for piles are:
- Nux vomica: This homeopathic preparation is useful in curing piles which display symptoms of extreme aggressiveness and intolerance to cold weather. If piles are caused due to excessive intake of spicy foods and alcohol or cigarettes, this homeopathic preparation can work as an effective cure.
- Hamamelis: This preparation is useful to cure piles which show symptoms of blood in the faeces along with a sensation of discomfort and contusion.
- Ratanhia: This preparation provides a remedy for severely painful hemorrhoids (which causes complications during excretion). Symptoms include severe pain which stays for several hours after excretion along with a burning sensation. It may be relieved with the help of cold water.
- Graphites: If you suffer from the symptoms of chronic constipation, frequent skin eruptions and recurrent instances of menstrual anomalies in females along with piles, this homeopathic medication can provide effective cure to you.
- Aesculus Hippocastanum: This homeopathic preparation provides an effective remedy for non-bleeding hemorrhoids along with the symptoms of severe back pain and pain in the anal regions.
- Arsenic Album: This homeopathic preparation can prove effective in curing piles with the symptoms of a burning sensation during any forms of physical movement. If the hemorrhoids bleed extensively and are bluish in color, this homeopathic preparation can be beneficial in such cases.
I am a 24 year old male. I am having problems speaking properly mainly due to breathlessness. I also get sudden panic attacks when others call my name in meetings etc causing me to stutter in my speech.

I think I have some sort of anxiety disorder. Its gradually becoming worse, due to which I'm avoiding many things I normally enjoy like team outings, group events etc, simply because I can't talk properly. Is there any over the counter medication to relieve this anxiety/panic attack problem?

When you cant eat fresh, eat frozen. Depending on where you live and what time of year it is, you cant always get your hands on high-quality fresh produce. Keep this in mind: frozen is fine. Manufacturers freeze frozen fruits and veggies at peak ripeness, which means they will pack a similar nutritional value as their fresh counterparts. Just choose plain frozen foods rather than those with added sugars or sodium.

Keep healthy in winter by including plenty of these 5 foods in your diet. Although there are fewer foods that are in winter season than in summer. Here are 5 of the healthiest winter foods you should be eating.
1. Pomegranates - Chances are you have tasted pomegranates in their newly popular juice form. And from a heart-health perspective, thats probably a good thing. Pomegranate juice is rich in antioxidants (more so than other fruit juices), just a cup daily might help to keep free radicals from oxidizing ldl bad cholesterol, according to a preliminary study in the american journal of clinical nutrition. Oxidized ldl contributes to plaque buildup in the arteries. Another study showed that drinking pomegranate juice might improve blood flow in the heart in people with myocardial ischemia, a serious condition in which the hearts oxygen supply is compromised because the arteries leading to it are blocked.
2. Dark leafy greens - Dark leafy greens, such as kale, chard and collards, thrive in the chill of winter when the rest of the produce section looks bleak. In fact, a frost can take away the bitterness of kale. These greens are particularly rich in vitamins A, C and K. Collards, mustard greens and escarole are also excellent sources of folate, important for women in childbearing age.
3. Citrus - Citrus fruits, including lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit, are at their juiciest in the wintertime and can add sunshine to the dreary winter. Citrus fruits are loaded with vitamin, one medium orange delivers more than 100 percent of your daily dose. Citrus fruits are also rich sources of flavonoids. The predominant flavonoid in these fruits hesperidin is credited with boosting good hdl cholesterol and lowering bad ldl cholesterol and triglycerides.
4. Potatoes - Potatoes sometimes get a bad rap for being a white starch, thrown into the same category as white rice or white bread. But unlike those other starches, which have indeed been stripped of healthful nutrients, potatoes are foods that contain several beneficial nutrients. They are an excellent source of two immunity boosters .vitamins C and B6, delivering 25% and 29% of your daily needs per medium potato, respectively. They are also a good source of folate, which is especially important for women in childbearing age, and they deliver fiber (4 grams in a medium potato, women need 25 grams daily and men need 38 grams). If you can find purple potatoes, you will get an added health boon as they are rich in anthocyanins antioxidants that are linked to a host of health benefits, from lowering cancer and heart disease risk to quelling inflammation.
5. Winter squash - There are many varieties of winter squash including butternut, acorn, delicata and spaghetti squash and they all are excellent choices in the winter. One cup of cooked winter squash has few calories (around 80) but is high in both vitamin a (214 percent of the recommended daily value) and vitamin c (33 percent), as well as being a good source of vitamins B6 and K, potassium and folate.

- CM hopes Raymond unit brings prosperity to region
Amravati: Laying the foundation stone of a multi-speciality textile and garment manufacturing unit of Raymond here at the Nandgoanpeth industrial estate on Saturday, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis hoped it was the first step towards transforming the region from suicide epicentre to island of prosperity. He said the textile park coming here could well be the missing link in the cotton economy that had gone awry as lack of value addition had made growing the white gold unsustainable. "Sugar cane growers are better off and not suicide prone like cotton farmers because they have sugar factories in their area. Henceforth, cotton farmers will get similar support and Nandgaopeth textile park would serve as a model," said Fadnavis. Raymond is to invest 1400 crore at Nangaonpeth where linen, denim, cotton shirting and garmenting facilities would come, providing at least 8,000 jobs.The factory spread on 200 hectares would come up in phases and the first unit is likely to start operations by March next. "Our government has introduced a policy of value addition of every agro-product so that farmers get good remunerative prices for their produce and unemployed youths of the area get jobs," he said and added that his government is developing 10 textile parks in all cotton-producing regions of Vidarbha, Marathwada and North Maharashtra. Besides this, orange processing units in orange-growing areas and edible oil units in soyabean-producing regions are being set up to bring value addition of the products. He said that such steps would prevent farm-suicide in the region. Amravati will soon be booming textile city and no longer be the suicide capital of farmers," said the chief minister. He also inaugurated Siyaram's textile unit in a separate function on Saturday. Fadnavis said the Nandgaonpeth five star MIDC area, spread over about 2,800 kms, was developed 15 years ago. However, it failed to attract a single industrial unit there. "But our sincere efforts to promote industrial growth has paid off. Today, there is a race among investors to get land here." Lauding the assurance by Raymond that it will start production by March next year, Fadanvis said Raymond has a unit in Yavatmal and the cotton growers will be greatly benefited by the second unit in Amravati. He hailed the Raymond's holistic approach in setting up a housing complex with an international standard school and the company's proposal to help set up an apparel and fashion zone here. Raymond had agreed to set up its second unit after Yavatmal in Amravati in the month of February early this year during the "Make in India" event in presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and within a span of two months the bhoomipujan of the project was performed. On the occasion, Gautam Hari Singhania, the CMD of Raymond, said that along with generation of multiple employment opportunities it will contribute substantially to the overall development of the region. Industries minister Subhash Desai said he was happy that Raymond kept pace with the government's fast clearances for the project and started work here in record time. Guardian minister Pravin Pote, minister of state for home Ranjit Patil, MP Anandrao Adsul and MLAs Sunil Deshmukh, Anil Bonde, Yashomati Thakur and Ashish Deshmukh were present.

- Raymond to invest Rs1,500cr in Amravati
Nagpur: In a big boost to Vidarbha's textile industry, Maharashtra government on Monday inked a pact with textile major Raymond for setting up a Rs1,500 crore plant at Nandgaonpeth in Amravati.

Already, the government had allocated land to other textile units like Shyam Indofab, VHM Industries, Suryalakshmi and Siyaram Silk Mills at the same place. Singhania was present in visitors' gallery when CM made the declaration. Collectively, these other factories would be investing Rs2,200 crore while generating about 5,200 jobs. Of them Shyam Indofab had already started work while others would be commencing shortly. "We are working to fulfil Prime Minister Narendra Modi's dream of 'farm to fashion'. We are confident that Raymond will work as anchor industry in this process. We will take help of all captains of industry and work for betterment of cotton growers from the region," the CM said, while lauding Raymond Group for according priority to the state for investment. The group is already having a plant in Yavatmal and Borgaon in neighbouring Madhya Pradesh, just 60 kms from Nagpur. He added that many industries were keen to invest in the regions like Vidarbha, Khandesh (North Maharashtra), and Marathwada they being cotton producing areas. Fadnavis further said the government planned to establish garment park as value addition in these zones and would recruit women in large numbers so that they could also become the part of development. The government had organized a symposium on textile industry on Thursday where positive discussions took place. The CM informed that the MIDC had decided to establish textile parks at Yavatmal, Chikhli in Buldhana, Jamner in Jalgaon, Kannad in Aurangabad, Selu in Parbhani, Bhaler in Nandurbar, Malegaon in Nashik, Krushnoor in Nanded, and Majalgaon in Beed, besides Nandgaonpeth. "Due to this, cotton growers would get a decent price for their produce and also get good market to sell. The textile industry would witness major investment in Vidarbha, Marathwada and North Maharashtra which would boost the economy of these regions and also generate lots of employment," he said. With a view to boost investment in Amravati district, one of the largest producers of cotton, the government had already allotted eight textile units while many more are in pipeline. MIDC had assured adequate water supply from Upper Wardha dam and also built a effluent treatment plant, government sources informed. Raymond is one of the largest producers of worsted suitings having renowned brands like Park Avenue, ColorPlus and Parx along with a retail chain of over 700 shops in 200 cities. CM on textile: * Raymond plant to generate direct job opportunities to about 7,500 youths * Allocated land to Shyam Indofab, VHM Industries, Suryalakshmi & Siyaram * These factories to invest Rs2,200 crore and create 5,200 jobs * Plans to establish garment park as value addition in these zones * To recruit women in large numbers * 10 textile parks at Yavatmal, Buldhana & other places

We have been having really
weather. And our robins have been here for over a month and our trees are all leafing out. Akenta, what's the situation here? Is the weekend on the horizon?
Yeah, DRY, all those CRAPPY American shows like The Bible, The Vikings, The Universe……yeah, can't hold a candle to that Korean subtitled stuff.
"And our robins have been here for over a month…"
Two red-breasts were sitting in a tree. "I'm really hungry", said the first one."
Me, too", said the second. "Let's fly down and find some lunch."
They flew to the ground and found a nice plot of plowed ground full of worms. They ate and ate…. and ate, until they could eat no more.
"I'm so full I don't think I can fly back up to the tree," said the first red-breast.
"I feel the same way, let's just lie here and rest in the warm sun", said the second.
"OK" said the first.
They plopped down, and lolled on the soft, plowed earth in the warm sun.
Naturally, with the combination of the warm sun and the lethargy brought on by their full stomachs, they soon fell asleep.
No sooner had they fallen asleep than a big fat, uneducated, tomcat (The uneducated part is important! Remember it! ), stumbled across them and gobbled them up.
As he sat washing his face after his meal, he thought to himself……,
"Gee…, I love baskin' robins."
good morning and happy fridaj locos. Just a few days left for tabby's bday celebration. Fourth day of Passover. Good Friday is today so Easter is around the corner. Taiwan is observing Youth Day
And yes, fridaj is the new day since we since can't edit our comments on this site. Please change your calendars accordingly.
Good morning all!
I've always just called it Holy Thursday.
Dry I'm sure those movies are very well done, but I never liked how they kept talking after their mouths stopped moving haha.
Cleo It is nice to have good sushi nearby. I have a sushi place right by me as well.
Good Good Friday morning!
Akenta, I have changed my calendars accordingly. Today is now officially fridaj! :-D
LOL! That was cute.
johnny these aren't dubbed, where the mouths stop moving, as you said. These are the actual actors speaking. These are sub-titled. I never cared for dubbed foreign films either. The subtitled translations are done well. And they are at the bottom of the screen long enough that you can read them in good time.
I wonder how much money Marg has won? And more importantly, will she share with us Locos?
We are fortunate to have quite a few terrific restaurants in our community. Nothing irks me more than to pay for a meal that I could have prepared better at home.
cleo, how close were you to that landslide?
Happy Fridaj Akenta! I have added this new day to my calender. I think it sounds exotic.
You must live in Paradise, JFri. :-)
LOL! Good one.

Carte de Visite of Marcia Russel of Pottsville, Pennsylvania; later married Charles Calvin Burgess
Carte de visite of a young woman identified on the reverse as Marcia Russel; the photograph was taken by the Garvin studio of Pottsville, Pennsylvania.
From online research, hopefully correct: [corrections and additions welcome!]
Marcia Allen Russel was born 31 December 1874 at Pottsville, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Henry Clay Russel and Urcilla (Kram) Russel, both Pottsville natives.
On 31 October 1901 at Pottsville, Pennsylvania, Marcia Allen Russel married Charles Calvin Burgess, son of William and Louisa (Calvin) Burgess. Charles was born at Bayonne, New Jersey, on 15 May 1873.
They lived at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and raised three children. Charles, a graduate of Lehigh University, was a civil engineer.
Charles posed an idea in the 1944-45 Lehigh Alumni Bulletin, Vol. 32, No. 3, that alums should provide an update on their lives since graduation. He offered to get the ball rolling with his own memoir. Unfortunately, it's another case of OCR without proofreading, and has some illegible sections, but if you're interested in reading it in its entirety, you can probably find a physical copy.
If you have corrections and/or additions to the information above, please leave a comment or contact me directly. Thanks!

John Galliano Suspended From Dior After Alleged Assault [Updated]
The designer has been accused of making anti-Semitic remarks toward a couple in a café in Paris.
John Galliano has been suspended from Dior after allegedly verbally accosting a couple that was sitting at an outdoor café table in Paris's Marais district last night. According to French police sources, he supposedly made anti-Semitic remarks. "For the moment we don't know what led him to address the couple," the police source told the AFP. "We don't yet know if they knew each other or not."
Galliano was briefly detained by the police, who found that he had been drinking alcohol but released him because no charges have yet been filed. Galliano's lawyer, Stephane Zerbib, told the AFP that the designer "formally denies the accusations of anti-Semitism made against him ... [he] is not at all in this state of mind [and] will explain later." Zerbib added that "legal action will be taken against those making such accusations."

Improperly Performed Acupuncture Linked to Spontaneous Human Combustion
Experts in traditional Chinese medicine are warning patients to avoid unlicensed acupuncture practitioners after an apparent case of spontaneous human combustion.
Baton Rouge, LA-When investigators climbed from out of the smoldering debris that was the home of Hank Thomas, the looks on their faces told the gathering crowd what these hardened veterans of the Baton Rouge Fire Department couldn't put into words. Thomas, a yoga instructor and avid fisherman who had lived in Baton Rouge his entire life, had exploded. And as the grisly details slowly emerge, people are asking questions about what might be to blame and how they can prevent being the next Baton Rougian to erupt into a massive fireball of body parts and Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning.
Some local medical professionals have proposed a controversial theory. Based on reports that Thomas has undergone acupuncture treatments for sciatica several times in the weeks preceding his untimely fulmination, a group of local experts are speaking out. They are warning the community to beware of discount acupuncture clinics.
"We aren't saying that every incidence of spontaneous human combustion is linked to the incorrect placement of acupuncture needles," Kuang Zhu LAC, Chief of Pragmatic Acupuncture in the Health and Wellness division of Vic's Day Spa and Pet Grooming Center, explained during a recent press conference. "But in some cases, there is a relationship that is hard to explain otherwise."

Hey Hiroi.
Try solving the DE first and then consider how each of the two different loans changes the values of i and p (they will be constants for each loan type).
I sorta need help with this problem. Work shown would be appreciated! And any other form of help =)
Suppose Ms. Lee is buying a new house and must borrow $200,000. She wants a 30-year mortgage and she has two choices. She can either borrow money at 7% per year with no points or she can borrow the money at 6.5% per year with a charge of 3 points. (A "point" is a fee of 1% of the loan amount that the borrower pays the lender at the beginning of the loan. For example, a mortgage with 3 points requires Ms. Lee to pay $6,000 extra to get the loan.) As an approximation, we assume that interest is compounded and payments are made continuously. Let:
M(t) = amount owed at time t (measured in years),
i = annual interest rate, and
p = annual payment.
Then the model for the amount owed is:
dM/dt = iM-p
a)How much does Ms. Lee pay in each case?
b)Which is a better deal over the entire time of the loan (assuming Ms. Lee does not invest money she would have paid in points)?
c)If Ms. Lee can invest the $6,000 she would have paid in points for the second mortgage at 5% compounded continuously, which is the better deal?
Thank you so much if you can help me through this problem =)
The differential equation is separable. Your independent variable is t and your dependent is p but you can get a dp/f(p) = dt*g(t) and integrate boths sides.
Hint: for this case f(p) = iM - p (use the other information to get g(t) and be aware that g(t) can be a constant independent of t as a special case).

ESPN's Rick Reilly wrote a column this week about the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field that harked back to a post I wrote about a year and a half ago about the Cubs brand.
In his column, Reilly basically says the Cubs can't win at Wrigley Field, and it's costing the team as much as $73 million per year to play there. You'll have to read the column to understand how his math works out, but it makes sense. He's particularly hard on the businesses around the ballpark that are capitalizing on the Cubs brand and at the same time holding them hostage. I was astounded to read that the Cubs get just 17% of proceeds from the rooftop owners around the park, who also aren't keen on the team adding a modern video scoreboard, because, well, their customers won't be able to see the game. Really?
Reilly also has plenty of choice words about the stadium itself: "Imagine the players they don't get — because of their weird start times, their rotting training facilities, their wimpy weight room, their nonexistent in-game batting cage, their backachingly small clubhouse and their 104-year ringless streak."
I've toured Wrigley Field, and everything he says is true. The clubhouse, for example, is completely inadequate for the needs (and expectations!) of today's players. See the photo above from my tour.
Reilly says Cubs owner Tom Ricketts is willing spend $300 million in renovating the ballpark that was built in 1914, along with another $200 million for a hotel and fitness club nearby.
That's a LOT of money. But is it well spent, and will it build the Cubs brand? Doubtful.
To me, winning is the ultimate brand builder for any sports franchise, plain and simple. And I mean winning championships, not just being a consistent playoff team.
The Cubs haven't won a World Series since 1908 and haven't been to one since 1945. In fact, they're known as the Loveable Losers. Is that really the brand perception you want for your team?
Some may say the Cubs are more about the entire experience, which includes Wrigley Field – the ivy, the manual scoreboard, the bricks, etc. True, but sports is a business today, bottom line, and like any business, a sports franchise has to do everything it can to maximize its opportunity to win titles, and that's both on and off the field. Wrigley Field doesn't let the Cubs do that; I'm sorry, but it's true.
Being a champion is the kind of brand perception that builds on itself over time; look at the New York Yankees, or in the NFL, the Green Bay Packers. Those teams, and their fans, expect to win championships. And you know what? They don't win them every year, but they do win them.
I was driving around today and saw a Cubs billboard that shouted: "Not if. When." Literally my initial thought: "Never?" Here's more about the team's 2013 marketing campaign and that slogan.
"It's simple, Chicago. You can either have your creaky, quaint, vine-covered crypt, or you can win. But you can't have both," Reilly said.
Totally agree.

11th Annual Jackie Robinson Memorial Scholarship Ceremony
On Tuesday, August 27, Greeners gathered at Safeco Field for the 7th annual Evergreen Night at the Ballpark and the 11th annual Jackie Robinson Memorial Scholarship ceremony.
Evergreen students Doneesha Brown and Maxwell Hanckel were honored during a ceremony at home plate before the Seattle Mariners game against the Texas Rangers as the 2013-14 recipients of the Jackie Robinson Memorial Scholarship. Along with Doneesha and Felix Braffith, Evergreen's Director of KEY Student Services (accepting the giant check on behalf of Maxwell), the scholarship recipients were joined by President Purce and the President and Chief Operating Officer for the Seattle Mariners, Chuck Armstrong.
The Jackie Robinson Memorial Scholarship is a partnership between Mariners Care, The Evergreen State College and Seattle Central Community College and awarded to full-time students who demonstrate academic achievement and the ideals of outstanding commitment to community involvement and social justice that Jackie Robinson exemplified through all his athletic endeavors.
Evergreen has awarded 48 Jackie Robinson scholarships, starting in 1987, thanks to the philanthropy of then-faculty member Patrick Hill and his wife Maureen. A much beloved teacher, philosopher, writer and story-teller, Patrick endowed the scholarship as a tribute to his parents, immigrants who valued education highly but never, themselves, went to college, and who were devoted Jackie Robinson/Brooklyn Dodgers fans.
The Office of Alumni Programs sponsors our annual Evergreen Night at the Ballpark. A block of seats just above home plate provides Evergreen supporters a spectacular view of the home plate ceremony and an exciting game. A special thank you goes out to the Mariners for donating $4 from each ticket sale to support student scholarships.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

HBO is completely aware that fans of its hit series Game Of Thrones are super-ecstatic for Season 4 to begin. But with two months still to go until the premiere episode, the network has decided to throw fans a bone by releasing an awesome 15-minute preview loaded with tons of new footage and fun cast interviews. Check it out.
If you've been waiting for any kind of look at the upcoming season of Game of Thrones, this preview is probably as good as it's going to get (and it's pretty good stuff). Though there aren't any spoilers, we get to see a good look of the show behind the scenes. The featurette also includes one-on-one interviews with the cast talking about the bloody Red Wedding, hints about the plot turns to come, and some even tells us their favorite characters in the series. Check it out:
The cast interviews are great because, unlike their super-serious characters, their real personalities are much nicer and pleasant. There footage of Emilia Clarke and her rapidly growing dragons is pretty exciting. And listening to Kit Harrington talk about the evolution of his character from season to season, and also his bromace with Sam is interesting as well.
The new season will draw from the second half of George R.R. Martin's A Storm Swords (Book 3 of the A Song of Ice and Fire series), and may also include material from A Feast For Crows (Book 4) and A Dance With Dragons (Book 5). The first of 10 episodes will begin airing April 6 on HBO.
Are you excited for Game of Thrones Season 4?

By Chris Lee
The threats posed from an organisation's own staff on social media were demonstrated by HMV recently, leading social media marketers to reiterate the importance of policies and security of corporate Twitter accounts.
As a large number of staff at troubled HMV were receiving news of their impending redundancy, tweets were seen on the company's official Twitter feed chronicling events. HMV's 21 year-old now-former social media planner Poppy Rose Cleere later assumed responsibility for the tweets which, over a quarter hour period, included:
"We're tweeting live from HR where we're all being fired! Exciting!! #hmvXFactorFiring"
"There are over 60 of us being fired at once! Mass execution of loyal employees who love the brand. #hmvXFactorFiring"
"Sorry we've been quiet for so long. Under contract we've been unable to say a word, or – more importantly – tell the truth #hmvXFactorFiring"
"Just overheard our Marketing Director (he's staying, folks) ask 'How do I shut down Twitter?' #hmvXFactorFiring"
This issue raises multiple questions: Why did the marketing director not have access to the Twitter account or even know how to manage it? Why was a 21 year-old former intern trusted to be the voice of a huge brand on social media, especially at a sensitive time for the company? Were policies and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in place for staff when it comes to social media?
Lack of governance to blame
For Stephen Waddington of PR firm Ketchum and author of social media books Brand Anarchy and the forthcoming Brand Vandalism, a lack of governance and process was to blame in this instance.
"The rogue HMV tweets make great copy for bloggers and journalists dissecting the failure of this once great brand. The situation arose because of a lack of governance and process. There should be clear processes to lock down web assets when employees leave an organisation," he told NMK. "We shouldn't be surprised that processes didn't exist at HMV. It is a sad story of a brand that has failed to modernise and build an online proposition over the last decade or so. The situation exposed a clear understanding of social media and the vulnerability of organisations that fail to adapt."
Social media marketing consultant Darika Ahrens of Grapevine Consulting believes that, although every business is using social media in some capacity in 2013, what many struggle with is integrating social media across multiple stakeholders.
"Sometimes social sits in isolated pockets – often marketing, Customer Service or even IT – but here's a demonstration of the impact of social on and from the HR department," she said. "Using enterprise level software goes some way to coordinating social across the business but it starts with a dedicated role or person who has the cross-company view of social media; people like Scott Monty at Ford or Rachel Weiss at L'Oreal."
Twitter best practice for brands
Danny Whatmough, director of digital strategies at London PR agency EML Wildfire, believes there are some basic steps which brands can take to avoid or at least minimise the chances of a similar experience to that seen at HMV.
"Make sure you know who you've given permissions to both internally and externally, if you're using an agency," he told NMK. "Social media is one of the first things you need to think about when putting together a crisis communications strategy and clearly HMV didn't think about that. Failing to look at some of these things now in this day and age is unforgivable from a corporate standpoint. Take social media seriously and if you're not, use this as the perfect example to really look at the policies you've got in place."

Business has been sweet for Cinnamon's in Kailua, as customers line up for breakfast creations every day.
Now the local eatery is cooking up something new -- a brand restaurant.
Cinnamon's has stacked up a reputation for trying new things, especially when it comes to pancakes.
"We started by making a carrot pancake. I always thought what you make into a cake or cookie, you could turn into a pancake," said chef Carsie Green.
That experimentation led to unique creations like red velvet or guava chiffon pancakes, popular items customers have gobbled up.
"We have tried every restaurant on the islandand this is our favorite. We are lucky we live in Kailua cause it is in our neighborhood," said Kailua resident Maggie Joy.
Soon, there will also be a Cinnamon's across the Pacific.
A new restaurant opens in Toyko on Aug. 26.
Local owners found many in Japan have a hunger for all things Hawaiianand that is not the only thing they hunger for.
"Japanese interest in Hawaii started with the hula and music. Now there is a huge interest in anything from Hawaii. There is also a huge interest in breakfast. They are going bananas, literally, for pancakes," said Cinnamon's co-owner Puna Nam.
Because their new restaurant will be in a different country, Nam said there will be some changes to their traditional local menu -- except when it comes to their popular red velvet pancakes.
"That's our No. 1 seller. So, the red velvet and guava chiffon pancakes will be two of the items they will definitely have," said Nam.
Because some local ingredients will be hard to come by, not all of its popular pancakes will be featured. The Toyko menu will also include some Japanese items, but Cinnamon's owners said everything will still be served up like things in Kailua.
"Our food is made fresh made daily and made with love," said Green.
"The staff is outstanding. They are very accommodating and just wonderful," said Kailua resident Noni Causey.
In the future, Nam said Cinnamon's may also expand to other parts of Oahu or the neighbor islands.
In the meantime, it has come out with new chocolate pancakes made with chocolate chips, and covered in chocolate sauce and shavings.

APOCALYPSE DAY 3: Truth and TruthinessOctober 1st, 2008 by Celeste Fremon
Okay, today the Senate has (incredibly) added tax cuts to the Bailout plan, raised the FDIC guarantee ceiling from $100K to $250K, and then with a few more tweaks, hopes to pass the thing tomorrow.
Monday night, after the House rejected the previous version of the bailout and the Dow began drilling for China, TV pundits on all channels shrieked about the NO votes being due to the most immoral kind of partisanship (on the Republican side) and a craven fear of being tossed out of office for those with vulnerable seats (on the Democratic side).
Most also mentioned the bill's massive unpopularity among angry lunk-headed voters who flooded Congressional phone lines because they "failed to understand" the dire necessity to pass the bailout bill as written.
Yet, in truth, the NO vote was a bit more complex than a decidely wild-eyed and accusatory Suze Orman and others wanted to admit. (I normally like Suze Orman but she was a bit on the shrill side Monday night.)
Here, for instance, are two reasons why the Bailout went down in flames on Monday:
Yes, it was better than the original three-pager, in much the same way that purgatory is better than hell. But it's still purgatory.
In his final speech before the House in which he ordered his fellow Republicans to vote for the bill, Minority Leader, John Boehner, yelled that the bailout was "crap sandwich." "Nobody wants to vote for this! Nobody wants to be anywhere near it. … You all know how awful it is. I didn't come here to vote for bills like this!" But, he went on, "I believe the risk in not acting is much higher. … These are the votes that separate the men from the boys and the girls from the women. What's in the best interest of our country? Vote yes," And then Boehner stalked away from the podium in tears.
Not exactly the ideal endorsement.
Similar sentiments were expressed yesterday by one of the most vocal No voters on the Democratic side, Dennis Kucinich, who sent out a letter to supporters and others in which he was not in the least apologetic for possibly being part of the cause of the US economy melting into the molten core of the earth. Here are a few clips:
Congressional Democrats and Republicans alike took on full responsibility to protect the interests of taxpaying Americans, and defeated the deceptive bail out bill, defying the dictates of the Administration, the House Majority Leadership, the House Minority Leadership and the special interests on Wall Street.
The legislation did not regard in any meaningful way the plight of millions of Americans who are about to lose their homes. It did nothing to strengthen existing regulatory structures or impose new ones at the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Reserve in order to protect investors. There were no direct protections for bank depositors. There was nothing to stop further speculation, which is what brought us into this mess in the first place.
Kucinich went on to say that he's all for passing something quickly. But it has to be a better something that has certain improvements, in particular a structure that will provide some mortgage-holder protection.
As I mentioned Monday, normally mild-mannered Brad Sherman (whose seat is NOT at risk, thank you very much, idiot pundits) wrote his own strong statement about why he went against his party, and with his conscience, in voting no.
(Sherman had the best quote out of the whole debacle when he described Paulson's original 3-page plan as "a ransom note that said if you ever want to see your 401(k)s again, send us $700 billion in unmarked bills.")
There has been much talk about how the American people deluged Congress with emails and phone calls because no one had adequately explained to them—the poor rubes—-the virtues of the package.
But Time Magazine's Michael Sherer wrote on Tuesday that there was a bit more to it, that the crisis exposed a deep and "fundamental problem: "a crisis of political credibility that now threatens to harm our nation further, should the markets freeze up and more companies begin to fail, as many experts predict."
The problem, wrote Sherer, predates the vote on Monday, and even the mistakes on Wall Street. (duh!)
"Years ago, the trust between the people and their politicians was broken. Credibility was lost. The reserve of goodwill went bankrupt. And when they needed it most, our nation's leaders found that they had squandered their ability to exert influence over the people who chose them to lead."
Or to be more specific, the last time the American people were told there was a huge emergency and that Congress had to pass a resolution or terrible things would happen (cough-Iraq-cough) it turned out to all be a pack of lies. (Paulson comes off as a decent and smart guy. But so did Colin Powell.)
Matters have been exacerbated by the fact that lies—-not exaggerations—-but out and out alternate realities have now become an embedded part of American political currency (thank you, Karl Rove), and are being continued into the '08 presidential campaign (bridge to nowhere, yadda, yadda)—all of which has added to the cumulative affect.
Actions have consequences. Lie too often and when you try to tell the truth, no one believes you.
Henry Paulson kept saying that the sky would fall unless the bailout was passed. And Wall Street believed him. However, with the prospect that the Secretary of the Treasury would soon be driving through Wall Street in a pick-up truck tossing bales of money out the window, the Dow perked up. Then, on the expectation that a deal was about to be reached, it slowed the worst of its rollercoastering.
By this past weekend, announcements were made that a deal was assured.
Since a deal was NOT in fact assured, this was a bit……what's the word I'm looking for? Oh, yeah: STUPID.
Raise and crash the expectations of toddlers and you get a tantrum. Raise and dash the expectations of already wounded and hysterical financial markets and you get the massive bloodletting we saw on Monday.
Had anyone had the sense of the average middle-American mother (or father), they would have said cheerily, "still working but making great progress, only a few teensy things to iron out,"
They would NOT have said: it's a done deal, wooo-hooo! the vote's a mere formality, ice the champagne!
But they didn't think. They tried to rush it. Everything blew up.
And the taxpayers take the hit. Again

OCZ Storage Solutions to Showcase Its Latest Flash-Based Virtualization Solutions at VMworld 2014 US
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/22/14 -- VMworld 2014 USA -- OCZ Storage Solutions -- a Toshiba Group Company and leading provider of high-performance solid-state drives (SSDs) for computing devices and systems, will showcase its flash-based virtualization solutions at this week's VMworld Conference & Exhibition, in Santa Francisco, California, from August 24th through August 27th. This targeted industry event focusing on the tools and technologies that automate virtualized data centers and deliver applications more efficiently is an excellent opportunity for OCZ to present its virtualized storage portfolio to new and existing customers while providing a forum to network with strategic partners that have solutions which complement OCZ enterprise solid state storage solutions.
At the forefront of OCZ's VMworld showcased solutions is the Z-Drive 4500 PCIe SSD Series that leverages 19 nanometer (nm) MLC NAND flash and supports 800GB, 1.6TB and 3.2TB usable capacities. Each model in the series delivers industry-fast performance and works in conjunction with OCZ's VXL Virtualization Software to distribute flash cache resources on-demand across virtual machines (VMs). The flash is distributed between VMs based on need making sure that no VM inefficiently occupies flash when it could be better used elsewhere in the environment.
Native ESXi support is also featured in OCZ's new ZD-XL SQL Accelerator 1.5 solution which enables Microsoft SQL Server to run in a virtualized environment. Its flash resources deploy dynamically and exactly to the needs of VMs to support resource sharing and provisioning on-demand so that multiple VMs can run SQL Server workloads concurrently. ZD-XL SQL Accelerator 1.5 supports SQL Server versions 2014, 2012 and 2008 (Rev. 2) and VMware ESXi 5.5, 5.1, 5.0 and 4.1 versions, and is available in three MLC models supporting 800GB, 1.6TB and 3.2TB usable capacities in a Full-Height/Half-Length (FH/HL) form factor. Support for VMware Fault Tolerance (FT) without the need for a costly back-end storage area network (SAN) is one of the unique and key differential advantages of OCZ solid state virtualization. In this High Availability (HA) 'SAN-less' enterprise, flash data is synchronously replicated assuring that host-based flash is treated as a continuously available storage resource across VMware clusters. This approach yields no data loss and no VM downtime even during complete server, system or power failures. As virtualized operating systems demand accelerated storage bandwidth, OCZ's Intrepid 3000 SATA III SSD Series delivers industry-leading sustained performance and consistent I/O responses in even the most demanding and compute-intensive applications. The Intrepid 3000 Series supports the 2.5-inch form factor and is available in two configurations. Intrepid 3600 drives utilize reliable and cost-effective MLC NAND media for read-intensive applications while Intrepid 3800 drives feature high endurance eMLC NAND media for write-intensive applications. Both configurations are available in 100GB, 200GB, 400GB and 800GB usable storage capacities.
With a complete virtualization portfolio that leverages leading-edge storage hardware and software, OCZ solid-state solutions deliver cutting-edge performance, high enterprise endurance and reliability, and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) for large scale data centers, enterprises and IT infrastructures worldwide. Learn more about how OCZ's innovative storage solutions can address your unique storage challenges at this week's VMworld Solutions Exchange Expo, Booth #535 in Moscone South.
