responders, victim/witness programs, domestic violence shelters, and
others better ensure that these victims are not overlooked or
otherwise forgotten?

KidCares Medical Travel Program Helps a Little Boy With Severe Atopic
Dermatitis - Devin Weekley was born with
atopic dermatitis (eczema). About 15 million people in the United States
have eczema and it's generally not a cause for concern. But Devin was
different. By age 2, it started getting bad. Everyone thought it was just
allergies. Then, during a span of two weeks, Devin's eczema got so bad that
he couldn't walk. Betsy Weekley, his mother, had to push Devin around in a
stroller at age 3.

Body Dysmorphic Disorder
- To your dismay, your daughter has started to complain more and
more about the appearance of her eyelids. She grudgingly compares them to
those of her classmates. You frequently catch her standing before a mirror,
scrutinizing their appearance. When you try to discuss your concerns, she
becomes defensive. To make matters worse, you've observed her reading
materials about cosmetic surgery.

neurotypicals. Sometimes they just don't have a clue. What's a

heard it used by Dr. Peter Gerhardt.) We can call neurotypicals
"NT's" for short. When an NT first encounters someone with
Asperger Syndrome, he or she often sees quirky AS behaviors as a
warning. "Oops, something wrong with this one. Better stay

that there are significant differences between human and
canine spinal cords.
The Disability
Movement Turns to Brains - No
sooner was Peter Alan Harper, 53, given the diagnosis of
attention deficit disorder last year than some of his family
members began rolling their eyes. To him, the diagnosis
explained the sense of disorganization that caused him to lose
track of projects and kept him from completing even minor
personal chores like reading his mail. But to others, said Mr.
Harper, a retired journalist in Manhattan, it seems like one
more excuse for his inability to "take care of business."

Using fMRI Technology to Understand Hyperlexia -
Georgetown University Medical Center researchers today published
the first ever fMRI study of hyperlexia, a rare condition in
which children with some degree of autism display extremely
precocious reading skills. Appearing in Neuron, the case study
uncovers the neural mechanisms that underlie hyperlexia, and
suggest that hyperlexia is the true opposite of the reading
disability dyslexia. Hyperlexia is found in very rare cases in
children who are on the "autism spectrum," meaning they display
some characteristics of autism. Like autistic children, children
with hyperlexia have extreme difficulty with oral communication,
social interaction and expression, and yet can read surprisingly
well at a very young age.

became a household word, and before asthma and chronic ear infections became so
very common. Used originally as a diet for allergies, improvement in behavior

Daniel BryanBryan Lloyd Danielson
- Birthdate: 05/22/1981 (age 35)
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 210 Ib
In WWE, Danielson is a four-time world champion...
Daniel Bryan recently spoke about a number of topics, including physical pain he deals with from wrestling, getting burnt out from WWE's brutal travel schedule. Here are the highlights…
Dealing With Physical Pain from Wrestling: "Well, for right now, I'm not in any pain whatsoever. It's just times when you have a nagging injury and you don't have any time off, that's when that nagging injury can become something like, 'Oh, it's hard to sleep because this is bothering me.'"
How He Deals With The Demanding WWE Schedule: "I don't really feel like it's that grueling. The most grueling part to me is waking up at 6 a.m. to take a flight because it's hard for me to get back to sleep. As long as I'm not flying, it's not grueling for me at all. I enjoy being on the road. I'm a gentleman of the road!"
His "Road Wife" & A Funny Ryback Story: "Right now, my road wife is the Ryback [Laughs] and Cody Rhodes. We don't have any particular good road stories because I feel like we're kind of boring. We just kind of drive to the next town. But what me and Cody really like to do is make up stories about the Ryback and then spread them amongst the locker room. For example, yesterday, we were working out in a gym. He was doing kettle bell snatches with only 35 pounds. You look at him, and you'd think, 'Oh! This guy is way stronger,' but he was lifting this kettle bell and he couldn't control it, and it hit him in the eye and now he's got a black eye. That story spread throughout the locker room all day yesterday."
CM Punk's Recent Promo About Vince McMahon & How He'd Never Picture Punk & Bryan Wrestling Main Event: "Oh, I think one year ago he would have said that. One year ago, he would have been like, 'Daniel Bryan's going to be in a WWE Championship match at a pay-per-view? [Incredulously] No! Against CM Punk? No!' [Laughs] I'm absolutely certain that's correct. The 10-year time frame is a little longer than it should have been. He could have said a year ago and been accurate."
His Goals In WWE: "Well, for me, it's all about enjoying my life. I don't have a specific goal set like that necessarily. I just want to, at the end of my life, look back on it and be like, 'Yeah, I enjoyed that,' because as far as we know, we only get one life, and I want it to be good. I don't want to waste it. I wrestle because I love to wrestle, so for me, [my goal is] to keep enjoying it. You see a lot of people lose their passion for it, and I don't ever want that to happen."

Niels Bohr
From Free net encyclopedia
Niels (Henrik David) Bohr Template:IPA (October 7, 1885 – November 18, 1962) was a Danish physicist who made essential contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum mechanics.
Bohr's contributions to physics
- Bohr's model of atomic structure.
- The electron's orbital angular momentum is quantized; L=nħ.
- The theory that electrons travel in discrete orbits around the atom's nucleus, with the chemical properties of the element being largely determined by the number of electrons in each of the outer orbits.
- The idea that an electron could drop from a higher-energy orbit to a lower one, emitting a photon (light quantum) of discrete energy (this became the basis for quantum theory).
- Much work on the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics.
- The principle of complementarity: that items could be separately analyzed as having several contradictory properties.
He received the Nobel Prize for Physics for this work in 1922.
Early years
Bohr was born in Copenhagen in 1885. His father, Christian Bohr, was a professor of physiology at the University of Copenhagen, while his mother, Ellen Adler Bohr, came from a wealthy Sephardic Jewish family prominent in Danish banking and parliamentary circles. His brother was Harald Bohr, a mathematician and Olympic soccer player who played in the Danish national team; Niels Bohr was a passionate soccer player as well, and the two brothers played a number of matches for Akademisk Boldklub.
Bohr received his doctorate from Copenhagen University in 1911. He then studied under Ernest Rutherford in the Victoria University of Manchester in England. On the basis of Rutherford's theories, Bohr published his model of atomic structure in 1913, introducing the theory of electrons traveling in orbits around the atom's nucleus, the chemical properties of the element being largely determined by the number of electrons in the outer orbits. Bohr also introduced the idea that an electron could drop from a higher-energy orbit to a lower one, emitting a photon (light quantum) of discrete energy. This became a basis for quantum theory.
Middle years
Image:Niels Bohr Albert Einstein by Ehrenfest.jpg In 1916, Niels Bohr became a professor at the University of Copenhagen, and director of the newly constructed "Institute of Theoretical Physics" in 1920. In 1922, Bohr was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics "for his services in the investigation of the structure of atoms and of the radiation emanating from them". Bohr's institute served as a focal point for theoretical physicists in the 1920s and '30s, and most of the world's best known theoretical physicists of that period spent some time there.
Bohr also conceived the principle of complementarity: that items could be separately analyzed as having several contradictory properties. For example, physicists currently conclude that light is both a wave and a stream of particles - two apparently mutually exclusive properties - on the basis of this principle. Bohr also found philosophical applications for this daringly original principle. Albert Einstein much preferred the determinism of classical physics over the probabilistic new physics of Bohr (to which Max Planck and Einstein himself had contributed). He and Bohr had good-natured arguments over the truth of this principle throughout their lives (see Bohr Einstein debate). One of Bohr's most famous students was Werner Heisenberg, a crucial figure in the development of quantum mechanics, who was also head of the German atomic bomb project.
Niels Bohr and his wife Margrethe had six children. Two died young, and most of the others went on to lead successful lives. One, Aage Niels Bohr, also became a very successful physicist; like his father, he won a Nobel Prize.
Later years / Death / Legacy
In 1941, during the German occupation of Denmark in World War II, Bohr was visited by Heisenberg in Copenhagen (see next section). In 1943, shortly before he was to be arrested by the German police, Bohr escaped to Sweden, and then traveled to London.
He worked at the secret Los Alamos laboratory in New Mexico, USA, on the Manhattan Project, where, according to Richard Feynman, he was known by the assumed name of Nicholas Baker for security reasons. His role in the project was important. He was seen as a knowledgeable consultant or "father confessor" on the project. He was concerned about a nuclear arms race, and is quoted as saying "That is why I went to America. They didn't need my help in making the atom bomb." [1].
Bohr believed atomic secrets should be shared by the international scientific community. After meeting with Bohr, J. Robert Oppenheimer suggested Bohr visit President Franklin Roosevelt to convince him that the Manhattan Project should be shared with the Russians in the hope of speeding up its results. Roosevelt suggested Bohr return to England to try to win British approval. Churchill opposed the idea.Template:NamedRef
After the war he returned to Copenhagen, advocating the peaceful use of nuclear energy. He died in Copenhagen in 1962. He is buried in the Assistens Kirkegård in the Nørrebro section of Copenhagen.
The element bohrium is named in his honor. He is pictured on the 500 kr. Danish bank note. In 1965, three years afters Bohr's death, the institute of physics at the university of Copenhagen changed name to the Niels Bohr Institute.
Kierkegaard's influence on Bohr
It is generally accepted that Bohr read the 19th century Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard. In 1909, Bohr sent his brother Kierkegaard's Stages on Life's Way as a birthday gift. In the enclosed letter, Bohr wrote, "It is the only thing I have to send; but I do not believe that it would be very easy to find anything better.... I even think it is one of the most delightful things I have ever read." Bohr enjoyed Kierkegaard's language and literary style, but mentioned that he had some "disagreement with [Kierkegaard's ideas]". [2]
Given this, there has been some dispute over whether or not Bohr's philosophy and science were influenced by Kierkegaard. David Favrholdt argues that Kierkegaard had minimal influence over Bohr's work; taking Bohr's statement about disagreeing with Kierkegaard at face value, while Jan Faye argues the opposing point of view; by arguing that one can disagree with the content of a theory while accepting its general premise and structure. Template:NamedRef
Relationship with Heisenberg
Werner Heisenberg claimed in an interview after the war, when the author Robert Jungk was working on the book Brighter Than a Thousand Suns, that he had tried to establish a pact with Bohr such that scientists on neither side should help develop the atomic bomb. He also said that the German attempts were entirely focused on energy production, and that his circle of colleagues tried to keep it that way. Heisenberg nuanced his claims, though, and avoided implication that he and his colleagues had purposely sabotaged the bomb effort. However, this nuance was lost in Jungk's original publication of the book, which strongly implied that the German atomic bomb project was rendered purposely stillborn by Heisenberg.
When Bohr saw this depiction in the Danish translation of Jungk's book, he disagreed wholeheartedly. He said that Heisenberg had indeed let him know in Copenhagen that he was working on an atomic bomb project, and that he thought that Germany would win the war. He dismissed the idea of any pact as an after-the-fact construction. He drafted several letters to inform Heisenberg about this but never sent any of them.[3]
Michael Frayn's play Copenhagen, which ran on Broadway for a time, explores what might have happened at the 1941 meeting between Heisenberg and Bohr. The truth of the historical event is still a matter of scholarly debate, as neither Bohr nor Heisenberg spoke about it in any detail, and they were alone in the woods.
"And anyone who thinks they can talk about quantum theory without feeling dizzy hasn't yet understood the first word about it."
"Nothing exists until it is measured."
"The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth."
"We all agree that your theory is crazy, but is it crazy enough?"
"How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress!"
"Einstein, stop telling God what to do." Sometimes quoted including: "...with his dice."
"The complement of truth is clearness"

Iran's first nuclear power plant, located in Busher.
Getting to Yes With Iran
Series: Project on Managing the Atom/International Security Program Special Event
Open to the Public - Belfer Center Library, Littauer-369
October 4, 2013
9:30-11:00 a.m.
|George Perkovich, Vice-President for Studies and Director, Nuclear Policy Program, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
Related Projects: International Security, Managing the Atom, Science, Technology, and Public Policy
Iran's new leadership inspires some hope that a diplomatic solution could be found to the stand-off over Iran's nuclear activities. But there is little agreement in the United States, especially in the Congress, over what an acceptable diplomatic solution would be. Israel and the United States might differ, too. George Perkovich based on twenty-years' work on the Iranian nuclear challenge and extensive interactions with U.S., European, Israeli, and Iranian officials will sketch a framework that could satisfy all sides, and then describe why it may be harder to implement a deal in Washington than in Tehran.
Coffee and tea will be provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first comefirst served basis.

The U.S. Census Bureau released a report Tuesday that showed the per-pupil expenditure across the nation decreased in 2011, for the first time since the bureau began collecting the data in 1977. On average, districts across the country spent $10,560 per pupil that year, down 0.4 percent from 2010.
We checked out public records of what districts here in Southwestern Connecticut spend per pupil. The most recent data available from the State was from 2010, and it shows that all but one town in our area spent more than $10,560, as well as the roughly $10,600 spent on average in 2010. In fact, the per-pupil spending in several towns wasn't far off from double that figure.
According to the census, "the top spenders were New York ($19,076), the District of Columbia ($18,475), Alaska ($16,674), New Jersey ($15,968) and Vermont ($15,925)." While Southwestern Connecticut didn't have any towns with higher rates than New York or D.C., there were several that outspent Alaska. The same wasn't true on the flip side.
The five states with the lowest per-pupil expenditure were Mississippi (7,928), Arizona ($7,666), Oklahoma ($7,587), Idaho ($6,824) and Utah ($6,212). But the 2010 numbers for Southwestern Connecticut show there isn't a single district below the $10,000 mark, nor would there be with a 0.4 percent reduction.

Because you have a table with a range of values each families expenditure could be you should take the midpoint of each for your calcs. Yuo have 30 families with expenditure from 0-200 so lets give them all $100 as an indicative value.
For the median imagine putting these figures in a line like you usaully would. 100, 100, 100, ...(there are 30 of these!) ...,300, 300, 300 (there are 40 of these!) and so on. This is a terrible job and no one should do it, but the workaround is very simple. Simply add the number of families column together, you get 270? Halfway like the Median suggests would be in between the 135th and 136th number. Now go through that column again finding where this value would live. Once you are there the corresponding right hand column will your answer.

George Caleb Bingham
(after, 1811 - 1879)
Stump Speaking
Engraving by Gautier, 1856
27 1/8 x 30 1/2 inches
Published by Fishel, Adler, and Schwartz, New York.
One of the icons of 19th century American art.
Stump Speaking is perhaps his most successful image of frontier American politics. A large group of male residents of Missouri gather near an oak tree on someone's farm on a late summer afternoon to listen to a number of candidates, one of whom is enumerating his positions. The audience listens attentively but without great animation. Behind the speaker sits another candidate with a pad, thought to be Bingham, who was in politics for quite a few years. He is apparently taking notes for his refutation of the present speaker, but we are tempted to imagine that he is drawing the scene, abandoning his personal involvement for a moment to view the scene objectively, as we are doing. The particular issues are unimportant. It is the event itself, an illustration of the sovereignty of the people, to which Bingham wants to draw attention.
Bingham had several visions of American frontier life, which evolved to realization throughout the 1840s and 50s. They are usually set late in the afternoon so that the light hits the participants from the side and casts a dark shadow. Nearly all depict working men at leisure: listening, watching, floating down a river. The pervading feeling is optimistic and life-affirming.
The original painting is owned by Boatmen's National Bank of St. Louis. It
was painted in 1854. It made a pair to The County Election,
which gives a more Hogarthian vision of politics, and the two were
paired again as prints.

Anyone else glad he didn't reach free agency and get signed by us? This could get ugly for him.
Rams are trying to elicit trades by showing late heavy interest in Manziel.
Steve Smith might want to come to us to show the Panthers he still has plenty left in the tank. Could also torch their secondary.
Can take Denver off now, agreed to a 3 year deal with Ware. We def might land him.
We signed Verner
Doesnt McCluster have more fumbles than tds? not sure if i like that ratio.
Brown may be interested in trading for Revis.
I will be ok with getting rid of Revis as long as we get Verner. If we do not get Verner I think it is a big mistake. Tillman is not a Revis replacement, just a stopgap for a younger guy. Would be...
If he will be traded it will be very soon as he is due like a $1.5 million roster bonus on like the third day of the new league year and the 4th round pick to the Jets turns to a 3rd round pick.
According to Ian Rapoport, we are believed to be interested in DT Jason Hatcher. Thoughts?
From Pat Y. at ESPN. Wonder who will get cut with Free Agency approaching fast.
Would love a Bay Orange jersey. You put the white on the shoulder pads, and the Red as the accent, hell throw in the old logo on the right shoulder too! A modern throwback.
Run a 5-2-4? I think it would work great, especially since we have Revis on one side of the field. Get a pass rushing end and our defense would rival the great defense of the past.
Plus would add some space to start reupping some of our younger stars.
Why not? Barron is signed fairly cheaply and we wouldn't need to spend much money on an OLB. David is signed cheaply and so is Banks. I don't know how Goldsons contract is set up but I assume it's...
Theres all the pics they have.
Looks like this is the new uniform!
That would be sick, with the red on the front/top fading to the pewter on the back/bottom.
Why does it have us getting a 7th round for Geno Hayes? He wasn't even here last year, and wasn't even here in 2012. Nothing for Michael Bennett? I'm pretty sure he would net more than Dustin Keller...
Cut today - Gabe Carimi, Derek Landri, Jordan Rodgers and Michael Hill
Signed - Mike Kafka
Cassel opting out of his contract today, anyone interested as a veteran backup/competition? Has ties to Licht.
You mean Jimmy or Garrett? Jimmy more than likely won't be available but that is an interesting situation as well. JG is set to be a free agent. Will require a record deal for a TE. Has a strong...
He had one monster game, big deal, it's good that he is gone. James has much more potential then Blount does. Tedford would probably have no use for him anyways, his college backs are all...
If we sign a TE and DE through FA and Johnny Football is there at our pick (Sammy Watkins and Clowney both already picked) is anyone against drafting him? Proven winner and could flourish with a...

Bucknell's Bryson Johnson (St. David '09) hit a clutch three-pointer with just under 1:00 to play in regulation as the Bucknell Bison travelled to Arizona and pulled off a 65-54 upset over the Arizona Wildcats, the top-ranked team in that quadrant of the bracket.
Johnson's three came with the game very much in doubt, and the Bison leading 58-54. His shot gave Bucknell a 7-point lead and they would add four free-throws (Johnson hitting 2 of them) for the final 11-point margin.
Johnson logged 30 minutes of action, finishing with 14 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3PT, 2-2 FT) and added 1 rebound and 2 assists.
"It felt better when it went in," Johnson said with a smile about his clutch shot. "All we worried about was getting stops and moving on to the next play so I knew it wasn't over, but I definitely felt better when it went in."
Bucknell will travel to the University of Nevada to play the Wolfpack in their next NIT game, scheduled for this Sunday at 3:00pm Eastern.

Thank You to 20 Years of Lawline 9 Volunteers
In the June issue of The Docket we ran an article outlining the history of 20-year partnership between the Denver Bar Association and 9News for the weekly call-in program, Lawline 9. (Read it online at bit.ly/105jMLo.) We also ran the names of the attorneys who have given their time and expertise in the past 20 years. We left a few people off, and we thank you for letting us know so that we can recognize them: Joe Dischinger, Karen Larson, John Stewart, and Brett Wendt. Thank you for your commitment to and support of Lawline 9. You can view the list of volunteers online at bit.ly/14MrjR7.

The Fug Girls: Jessica Simpson's Love Life and Fashion Choices Are Intertwined
A slideshow of Jessica's wardrobe as it relates to her personal and professional life.
We can all exhale: The proposal finally happened. We're talking, of course, about the engagement of beloved tabloid punching bag Jessica Simpson and her boyfriend of five whopping months, former football player of forgettable talent Eric Johnson timed conveniently two days after her ex, Nick Lachey, announced he'd be marrying longtime girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo (and, inconveniently, two days before Prince William and Kate Middleton hijacked the headlines). In reflecting on Jessica's tragic romantic past, we realized that many of her most screaming sartorial faux pas are tied to her dating status. So does this engagement mean we're in for a fashion upswing, or a slide down to rock bottom? To answer that question, here's a slideshow of Jessica's wardrobe as it relates to her personal and professional life. The one thing we have learned for sure: Jessica Simpson may well be the worst-dressed celebrity of our time.

Tips For The Newly Self-Employed
Guest Post by Logan – If you've become newly self-employed, congratulations! The world of self-employment is exciting and can mean you have the opportunity to set your own hours, work from the comfort of home and be your own boss. There are also many pitfalls for the newly self-employed. If you're looking not only to be your own boss, but also be successful at it, here are a few tips.
Get Out There
Sure, working from home is great, but that's really more of an expression than a code to live by. You won't be able to attract much business from the couch in your living room. If you're serious about getting out there and getting work, your best bet is to join a professional organization or a chamber of commerce. These are great networking organizations and usually there is a period for business referrals. This also gives you a chance to form relationships with the other business leaders in town and you can pick their brain for ideas about how to succeed in business. Remember that every one you meet is a potential customer, so treat everyone with respect.
Don't Be Pushy
As I mentioned before, everyone you meet is a potential customer so treat everyone well. That being said, don't constantly be pushing your product or service on others. This can seem very cold and come across as pushy. Your best bet is to form real relationships with people. Then when the time comes and they actually are in the market for your product or service, they'll come to you, because you have a friendship with them already. People are much more likely to buy from a friend than from a pushy salesperson.
Loosen Up
You're working from home (although we've already discussed that that isn't necessarily geographically accurate). You're setting your own hours. You can determine your own uniform each day. You're basically living the dream that a lot of business people have. Use this to your advantage. Don't be overly formal because that's what you think other business people want to see.
This doesn't mean that you need to be making wisecracks every few minutes, but when you're discussing business with a client, show them that you're not encumbered by a ton of red tape and corporate bureaucracy. This is one of your greatest assets as a self-employed individual. Show your clients that you're free to do what you want and if they have a request that is a little odd or wouldn't fly at most corporate operations because of bureaucracy, do your best to make it happen.
For example, I worked at a bank very early in my career and I was given the task of crafting the company "Holiday Letter." I was told to include a section about my "Holiday Wish List." I wrote the letter and turned it into my superior and was promptly called into his office.
I was told that I was not allowed to make any specific references to Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanza because I didn't want to offend one of the 50,000 employees of the bank. I thought this was ridiculous, but I made the change anyway. As a self-employed person, I can now wish one of my Jewish customers a happy Hanukkah without worrying that my boss will jump down my throat about it.
There are many advantages to being self-employed but don't undo them by making one of these mistakes. Do your best work and be as sociable as possible and you will find success as your own boss.

Brazilian Keratin Treatments for Hair Care and Conditioning
Introducing a new breed of Brazilian Keratin Treatments designed not to straighten your hair, but to improve its condition.
They repair the damage caused by harsher chemical processes, like perming, colouring and straightening.
Using deep penetrating amino acids and protein rich ingredients, they restore your hair's natural strength and vitality.
Brazilian Keratin Treatments take hair conditioning and repair to the next level
These products go way beyond the original Brazilian straightening products, that have revolutionised frizz control and hair smoothing over the last decade. Using the same principle, of literally over-dosing your hair with nurishment, they penetrate deep into the core of your hair's individual follicles, re-bonding broken links and replacing lost proteins.
Brazil is home to the best haircare products in the world, that's no secret. The high humidity and heat mean products really have to deliver, and the diverse ethnicity of people here means companies have to provide innovation and quality for all types of hair.
Quite simply, manufacturers make products that really perform. That means they strive to create new treatments that solve the everyday hair care problems such as unwanted frizz, the impact of pollution, sun and humidity or the unwanted side-effects of hairsh chemical treatments, curling tongs and electric irons.
All this means greater stress on our hair, and unfortunately more damage. It's well worth remembering that our hair is part of our body – it's like our skin – and in exactly the same way we use moisturisers on our face and body, we need to look after our hair in much the same way.
Remember. Your Hair Needs Loving Too
These new Brazilian Keratin treatments have been designed not to straighten your hair, but rather to keep it in optimium condition, repair existing damage or protect against environmental factors like sun, rain, pollution and humidity.
• Smooth and Control Frizz
• Increase Natural Shine
• Improve the Health of Your Hair
Incredibly effective at replenishing your hair with high levels of amino acids and natural proteins, these treatments can stimulate new growth, strengthen your hair and boost the low-levels of elasticity that lead to breakage and split ends.
Enjoy the benefits of Brazilian Keratin Treatments without the pin-straight finish
These products literally condition your hair back into a naturally healthy state, reversing the damage done by things like perming, bleaching, dyeing and the excessive use of electric curlers or straightening irons.
Products like the NovEx 'hair-food' range are tailor-made for different hair-types. So for example, if you have brittle hair that's prone to snapping, our Keratin with Olive Oil conditioner will help add strength and prevent further breakage.
If your hair is prone to get frizzier through the day the Blindagem Tri-Therapy 'rub-through' will keep it smooth for up to 24 hours between applications.
We've cherry picked a few of our favourite next-generation products to compliment the straight finish Brazilian straighteners we already have on the site. As with everything we sell, you can be sure of their quality, and that they actually work. We can personally recommend these and regularly use them ourselves.
Take a look at each of our Brazilian Keratin treatments below and choose the one that's right for you.

Is Tibet Chinese?
The short geopolitical history is this: Tibet had an history independent of China up until the end of the first millennium. A few conflicts were waged, including a Muslim/Tibetan alliance against the Han. Unification (in a way) came under the reign of the Mongol Hordes. Both China Proper and Tibet were under the Khans' thumb. Since then Tibet has been a nominal possession with waxing and waning Chinese influence. The early 20th century saw a British invasion which evicted the last few Chinese overlords in Tibet. Tibet may have changed nominal leadership but the geopolitical ground truth stayed the same: feudalistic with large ungoverned spaces featuring roaming bands of thieves. When the People's Republic of China was founded, one of its goals was reunification with Tibet. A quick invasion forced Tibet to accept Communist rule. A failed uprising led to even greater repression.
The demographics of Tibet make it Chinese, in a way. According to the self-declared Government-in-Exile, the Communist government has been involved in population transfers making the demographic makeup more Hai Muslim and Han than Tibetan. This makes Tibet like China as well; multiethnic but ruled by Han. The recent protest in San Francisco showed how many ethnic groups have complaints against Han Communist rule.
1 comment:
" By looking in the past the world will continued to be host to hate."
Is it a hypocrisy? When you talk about US invasion of Mexico and killings of native Indian, you toned it down; When you talk about Tibet, you flamed the whole issue up by saying Han Chinese is stilling ruling them. Tibet is an autonomous area. The US is a multiethnic country but majority of people who have powers are White. You may argue that Barack Obama will have a great chance of becoming the first black president. Yet, I doubt if could really just help his black citizens.

-- Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns will likely be known as "The Shield". WWE Spanish announcer Marcelo Rodriguez wrote on Twitter Monday night: "The Shield. Remember that name! I have a feeling that they will be as big (or bigger) than The Nexos or The Corre."
That was a translation of what he said. He also said that when they attacked Ryback at Survivor Series, they had badges that said "The Shield" on them.

Thyme is not listed in the ingredients! I used dried since that's what I had on hand, but it was too thyme-y. I also found there to be too many breadcrumbs (I measured by weight). Otherwise it was good! I made it in advance and added the breadcrumbs just before serving.

My question wasn't answered :(
I do have a comment about using kosher gelatin though. I have tried it in numerous applications and I don't find that it works. Also, some kosher gelatin is made from fish (I don't know if this is the case for the Lieber's) and may not be suitable for vegans.

My husband and I think you're awesome. I was making an apple pie recipe based off of Alton Brown's recipe and I was wondering if I could eliminate the 1 1/2 hour time for draining the apples by microwaving them (similar to what you did for your recipe for Eggplant Parmesan). Do you think this would work? How would it change the baking time? What else do you think is necessary for an awesome apple pie?

Do you have a NORMA emulator? i have been looking for one for years. Would appreciate any details.
I tried the program to see if the register A is less than register B
A < B is R0 where
R0 set (if B=0 then C:=0 else R3)
R1 set (B:=B-1, A:=A-1, R2; B:=B+1, A:=A+1)
R2 set (if A=0 then C:=1 else R0)
R3 set (if A=0 then C:=1 else R1)
Is that correct? And if A and B are 0?

Vanier, YaraCentre to host Day of Pink events
If you have pink clothing or accessories, April 9 is the day to wear them proudly.
Day of Pink
Next Wednesday marks the eighth annual Day of Pink and it will be commemorated in Moose Jaw at a number of different locations, including YaraCentre and Vanier Collegiate.
Travis Price, co-founder of Pink Shirt Day, will be at YaraCentre for the Friendly City's Day of Pink rally, so will students from both the Prairie South School Division (PSSD) and the Holy Trinity Catholic School Division (HTCSD).
"We've invited all of the schools to come and take part," said Bonnie Konihowski, one of the rally's co-ordinators. "We've got about 363 students that are coming from a variety of schools."
Miranda Biletski, a Canadian wheelchair rugby player and Royal Bank of Canada Olympian, will also be sharing her story with students at YaraCentre.
The event's doors will open for the rally at 9 a.m., but the event is not expected to begin until 9:40 a.m.
In addition to stories told by Price and Biletski, the Day of Pink rally will feature several photo booths for students to take pictures with props, sharing their own anti-bullying messages.
The event is expected to conclude by 11:30 a.m. – two hours before Vanier's own rally begins.
Grade 7 and 8 students from Moose Jaw's five HTCSD schools will be attending the assembly, which will introduce Vanier's Students 4 Action group.
"We have trained these students to be an anti-bullying peer support group, which is designed to provide peer support to students members, but also to educate our whole student body," said Lois Saunders, principal at Vanier.
"If individuals are having difficulties they can go to our Students 4 Action group, but we also want to actively educate not only our high school, but also our elementary schools where (bullying) starts."
The Students 4 Action group is comprised of Grades 8-11 students who were trained in Beyond the Hurt (BTH), a Canadian Red Cross bullying prevention resource.
"It talks about the different types of bullying, such as power issues in bullying, what's the difference between harassment and discrimination, inclusion," Saunders said about BTH. "It's so the Students 4 Action group can talk about a wide range of issues that lead to bullying … appearance, popularity, religion, nationality, sexual orientation.
We want to create an inclusive environment."
With cyber-bullying increasing in frequency, both HTCSD and PSSD feel the need to discuss the topic with students is important.
As an administrator, Saunders notes it can be a challenge, but through the Students 4 Action group she is hopeful that all forms of bullying can be identified and mediated as quickly as possible.
"I believe that when it's students teaching other students, or students supporting their peers, they are going to listen more," said Saunders. "We've had lots of programs and we've done lots of addressing our students about social media bullying, but I think when they hear it from their peers it's going to make a difference."
PSSD is also participating in a new initiative this year: the Partners Against Violence 'Be Someone' campaign.
"This is a local group working to reduce and eliminate violence and bullying in our communities," said PSSD communications co-ordinator Darby Briggs. "The Be Someone campaign encourages local businesses to 'be someone' and take a stand against bullying.
"We'll be displaying posters, decals and the signed pledge in our buildings. It's just one small way that we can show support for our schools and work together to create a safer learning environment for everyone."
