MSGC Secures Commitment from Canada on Section 35 Engagement
Ottawa, ON – January 30th, 2017 – The Metis Settlements General Council ("MSGC") has secured a commitment from Minister Carolyn Bennett, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada ("INAC"), to negotiate a bilateral agreement in light of the 2016 Supreme Court of Canada ruling on the Daniels case. While this is an exciting step forward, there is still a great deal of hard work ahead.
In a recent letter from INAC officials, MSGC was informed that Canada is working with the Metis Nation of Alberta ("MNA") to address Section 35 rights and the interests of Alberta Metis. Given that MSGC and the Metis Settlements are separate, independent entities from the MNA, MSGC President Gerald Cunningham was directed by the MSGC Board of Directors to travel to Ottawa and make clear the MSGC's position. President Cunningham was further instructed to prepare to take legal action and inform the media. On this issue, President Gerald Cunningham said:
"It is very important for us to make clear that it is unacceptable for any organization to claim to have the authority to speak for us or negotiate on our behalf. No one speaks for the Settlements but the representatives of the Metis Settlements. We were disappointed that the Government of Canada seemed to have taken the view that they would not engage with us directly and we sought to speak with Minister Bennett immediately on the issue."
Upon arrival in Ottawa on Sunday, January 29th, the Ministry requested a meeting with President Cunningham and MSGC's Director of Public Affairs, Blake Desjarlais, on January 30th at 9am. The Meeting lasted one hour and President Cunningham relayed the concerns and position of the Metis Settlements. The Ministry, in recognition of the confusion created by its mixed messages, offered an apology and Minister Bennett committed to a bi-lateral agreement between the Metis Settlements General Council and the Government of Canada. Minister Bennett also agreed to a formal visit to the Metis Settlements and to meet with the General Council Assembly. President Gerald Cunningham believes that this is the best possible outcome:
"For years, the Metis Settlements have fought to establish an open dialogue with Canada, and to receive full recognition as an independent stakeholder in discussion regarding Metis reconciliation. We are very pleased with the Minister's commitments today. Our officials will work directly with Canada to establish a process for negotiations and meetings under the Federal mandate of reconciliation."
In the coming weeks, MSGC officials will work closely with INAC officials to draft the bilateral engagement agreement for signing. MSGC will be coordinating with Minister Bennett's office to arrange an official visit of the Metis Settlements and a meeting with the Metis Settlements General Council Assembly.

Such a quaint little hotel across from the River front. Courtyard with a plunge pool, great staff, and a visit from spirits on our last night.

Although still under renovation, this was place was very cool. Other than the weird parking situation, it was a great stay.

I'd like to propose to release the current code in the 4.0 branch as Tomcat
4.0.2 Final.
This release includes lots of bugfixes and improvements, especially in the
connectors area, which feature a dramatic improvement over what was
available in Tomcat 4.0.1 (this alone justifies making a release IMO, given
the amount of problems people are experiencing with the versions packaged in
Tomcat 4.0.1).
The remaining should-fix bugs resolution will be postponed until a later
release. None of them were regression problems.
The jakarta-tomcat and jakarta-tomcat-connectors repositories will be tagged
with "tomcat_402". The tomcat-warp / tomcat-util / warp source will be
synced with the sources in the jakarta-tomcat-connectors repository.
The binaries will be packaged and be made available for verification by
other committers this week-end, and the release announcement will be posted
early next week (Monday seems appropriate).
As discussed yesterday, the binaries will include a minimal distribution
designed to be run on JDK 1.4.

3- Flight, Part 2
A few hundred metres out of the village; they left the path and took to the grasslands; not taking the route toward Ornaom Hill. Salla made it known that they would have to make a brief stop at her family's farm so she could gather her belongings and leave a note explaining her disappearance. This displeased Nanor, but he relented.
The farmhouse soon came into view; and they moved onto the dirt trail leading into it. There was no sign of life on the farm apart from the animals moving about their respective fields; Salla's family was still in the village. Nanor stayed outside to keep watch; and Markus accompanied Salla into the house, along with Sed. Once inside; she bustled about, quickly gathering up her things along with foodstuffs for the four of them. As she sat down to write a note to her family; Markus felt a pang of regret. He had not thought to leave behind a note. Daein would explain it to Keritha and Jonin, but his mother deserved better.
Salla had tears in her eyes as she rose to leave; but she ignored them, not wanting to appear weak. She led the way out; her bag over her shoulder; and her own bow in her hands. The quiver of arrows was strapped to her waist. Nanor met them outside the front door; a hard look on his face.
"We need to move; now! We have lost enough time already. Salla; we are going to have to take your family's horses. I shall leave gold behind; enough for them to buy four new ones. But we need to go, now".
Salla nodded. They made their way to the stables where they each picked out a horse. Markus chose a black stallion which had a strong build and would last well over distance; while also capable of reaching high speeds. Sed chose a similar, brown stallion; Salla took her own mare; Caerta, and Nanor took a white coated stallion.
Nanor pulled a purse from his pocket and counted out a large amount of gold. He left it on a shelf in the stables and then they rode out into the night. Salla cast one glance back at her home; then fixed her gaze ahead.
They rode in silence through the night; putting as much distance between Carromsford and themselves as possible. Nanor set a hard pace, and did not slow once. Markus wondered what their fate was now; a small bunch of four travellers on the run from an evil surely stood no chance of surviving. He shook his head and cast all doubts from his conscience; best to leave them until they made camp.
After several hours hard riding; when they had made their way deep into the trees of a forest, Nanor called them to a halt. "It's time we made camp for the night". They all gladly dismounted; rubbing their feet to get feeling back into them. Sed set to lighting a fire while Nanor tethered the horses to nearby trees. Markus sat beside the fire; grateful for the chance to rest. Nanor took a seat across from him; and Sed and Salla sat either side of him. The older man had a haunted look in his eyes.

The shock of the old
There is nothing primitive, or cold, about the incredible objects on display at the British Museum's Ice Age Art exhibition, finds Toby Saul
The earliest European art dates from around 40,000 years ago and coincides with the arrival from Africa of humans with a brain similar to our own. In particular they had a well-developed pre-frontal cortex, the area of the brain connected with creativity. These communities went on to colonise large areas of the continent and the objects and images they created were the Europeans' first attempts to describe the world and human experience through aesthetic expression.
But they did not endure. Changes in climate led to the decline of these hunter-gatherer communities. Pushed into pockets of land in France, Spain and central Europe, they did not die out but were isolated by ice and tundra and wind. Britain was uninhabitable. Cold, but also bone-dry. The drop in temperature meant there was no precipitation from the sea. Around 20,000 years ago the climate warmed a little and these people could spread out once more across the land. Archaeologists have an arresting term for this period and the resurgence in art it produced. They call it a renaissance.
From the beginning they painted and sculpted. Modern experiments in recreating some of the sculptures with contemporary tools indicate that it would have taken perhaps 400 hours to produce some of the most intricate pieces. That is 400 hours taken away from the vital labour of producing food or securing shelter. It has been said that it was only with the development of agriculture in the Neolithic period, around 12,000 years ago, that food could be produced in such abundance that a community could support a class of professional artists.
But the tribes of the pre-agricultural period also invested large amounts of precious time and energy into art. This is more than a compulsion to be creative. It represents a vital part of the community's life. What did they produce? A profusion of animals: deer, bison and birds. Tools: axes, knives and spears, but of such carefully wrought beauty that they must have had aesthetic rather just practical value; and, most striking of all, the human form. There are men, including a boundlessly mysterious male figure with a tiger's head. But mainly there are women: women in early or late stages of pregnancy, women giving birth. There are the bodies of women in old age.
There are no images of groups of people, no attempt to evoke landscape or surroundings, and there is no human narrative. There are no children, just the tools essential for survival, the animals all around and the gravid female body.
The female sculptures are heavily stylised. There is an emphasis on exaggerated breasts and hips. It is a style that remained consistent, not only over thousands of square miles of territory but over thousands of years, as an astonishingly resilient and meaningful image. The exact meaning, of course, has been lost. A fertility cult? But unchecked fertility could be dangerous for hunter-gatherers.
Resources must be invested in infants that might not survive, and this in a climate where the loss of food could spell disaster for the whole community. It was also dangerous for the mother, whose death or incapacitation in childbirth would rob her extended family of her labour. We have no way of discerning whether these figures were part of a spiritual or mythological narrative. Perhaps the emotional weight of them constituted what meaning they had.
We know nothing of how they thought. Nothing of how they understood the world or the stories they told about themselves. But sometimes a recognisable action can be seen across the aeons. Some of the female sculptures were buried as grave goods and were deliberately smashed prior to being interred. Could this indicate the death of a child or mother? Was it an expression of grief? The significance of regard for the dead cannot be overstated. It means they were aware of their existence in time, of their responsibilities to the generations that had come before and those yet to come. The Neanderthals, who may have been displaced by the arrival of modern humans, did not inter their dead and left no art as far as we know.
In many of the figures the face is not indicated or has only been suggested with a couple of marks for the eyes. The absence of facial expression means that an infinitely malleable source of information – the quickest and most powerful way of transmitting emotional contact and force – is lost. Yet without the face they become grave and mysterious and universal. Sometimes the head is inclined as if the woman is looking down at her swollen belly. So, the severe and hieratic nature of the figures is softened with an emotional gesture.
However, there are few solid generalisations that can be made. There is a full-face portrait of a woman carved from mammoth ivory. Found in what is now the Czech Republic and carved in the round, it shows a young woman with a distinctive conical headdress or hairstyle. She has aristocratic features and the trace of a smile in an elongated and even face. Skeletal remains from the area do not suggest that this was characteristic of the people at the time. One of her eyes appears deformed or injured.
This is a complex series of symbols. The face is stylised but not to the extent that it loses all individuality. This could be a portrait of a person. She is suspended half way between the material and mythological worlds. She was discovered among burial sites where the remains show evidence of disability. There has been speculation that the physically afflicted in antique societies were accorded special treatment at death, with the bodies consigned to graves instead of exposed to the weather.
The objects here come from the birth of artistic endeavour, but they are in no way naïve or puerile. It cannot be argued that sculptures from 30,000 years ago are less sophisticated than those of the present day or those of cinquecento Florence. Art at its beginning was no less intellectually complex than it was at any other time. It makes no progress because it has nowhere primitive to progress from.
On the wall of the exhibition as you walk in is a quote from the art critic John Berger: "Art, it would seem, is born like a foal that can walk straightaway." But even this puts the case too timidly with its implication of the tottering and unsteady legs and the long lesson in learning to walk. Rather, humankind's first stab at aesthetic creation needed no schooling or history at all.
Ice Age Art: Arrival of the Modern Mind is at the British Museum, London, until 26 May 2013. britishmuseum.org

Chapter TwelveMature
The feathers, dirty white, were the
only evidence I had that there were angels in the attic of our new house that
only revealed themselves to me and liked to torture me at every possible
opportunity. I realised that just blurting out that story to my parents was the
sort of things that wouldn't seem out of place in a mad-house, but now that I
had some real evidence, maybe I wouldn't seem quite as crazy. Or so I hoped.
"Mom! Dad! I need to talk to you both
for a second! And you have to promise to hear me out!"
I yelled as I walked over to the
kitchen table. They'd both be in other parts of the house, painting walls or
unpacking boxes, but if I yelled loud enough, I wouldn't have to go to the
trouble of looking for them. This couldn't wait.
They both walked into the kitchen and
over to the table, looking slightly irritated. They both assumed it was
something to do with the angels that I was allegedly lying about. Well, they
were about to be proved wrong about me lying!
I said, holding out the clump of
feathers for them to see.
"Angel feathers. I went up to the
attic to get evidence that there were angels there, because I knew that you
wouldn't believe me. The angels were even worse this time though, there was one
tall angel with claws that burnt be, it was the worst pain ever, but then it
was like her power ran out or something, and she stopped burning me, just like
her battery was low or something! I still got the feathers though, they were
bored of torturing me, so I could escape down the trap-door again!"
I still sounded hopelessly insane as
I quickly told them the tale of my journey up to the attic.
They exchanged a sceptic look,
eyebrows raised, their expressions so comically alike that it would have been
hilarious in any other situation. But not now, not now when I needed so
desperately for them to believe me.
Dad picked up one of the feathers,
looking at it for a long time before handing it back to me.
"These could be from any bird, or
just arts and crafts feathers. Look, like I said before, quit messing around
Sara, I'm seriously worried about you. It's like you can't tell the difference
between what's real and what's fantasy anymore. Please, just stop before you do
something stupid!"
He begged.
I looked at them with pleading eyes.
"Why won't you believe me?"
I asked, raising my voice a little.
"Calm down Sara!"
Mom said, looking concerned.
"If this doesn't stop before you go
back to school in three months' time, I'm going to have to find a counsellor
that you can talk to about these issues, and I was hoping that it wouldn't come
to this!"
She told me quietly.
"I'll prove you all wrong!"
I muttered mutinously as I stalked
out of the room, taking the feathers with me.

Mentoring experiences as professional development for leaders in environmental education : the cascade of influence
Fortino, Carol Ann (1996) Mentoring experiences as professional development for leaders in environmental education : the cascade of influence. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.
Environmental education is a field which has only come of age since the late nineteen sixties. While its content and practice have been widely debated and researched, its leadership has been minimally studied and, therefore, is only partially understood. The role of mentoring in the development of leaders has been alluded to, but has attracted scant research. Therefore, this study explores the importance of mentoring during the personal and professional development of leaders in environmental education. Four major research questions were investigated. Firstly, have leaders been men to red during their involvement with environmental education? Secondly, when and how has that mentoring taken place? Thirdly, what was the personal and professional effectiveness of the mentoring relationship? Fourthly, is there any continuation of the mentoring process which might be appropriate for professional development within the field of environmental education? Leaders were solicited from a broad field of environmental educators including teachers, administrators, academics, natural resource personnel, business and community persons. They had to be recognized as active leaders across several environmental education networks. The research elicited qualitative and quantitative survey data from fifty seven persons in Queensland, Australia and Colorado, USA. Seventeen semi-structured interviews were subsequently conducted with selected leaders who had nominated their mentors. This led to a further thirteen 'linked interviews' with some of the mentors' mentors and new mentorees. The interview data is presented as four cases reflecting pairs, triads, chains and webs of relationships- a major finding of the research process. The analysis of the data from the interviews and the surveys was conducted according to a grounded theory approach and was facilitated by NUD.IST, a computer program for non-numerical text analysis. The findings of the study revealed many variations on the classical mentoring patterns found in the literature. Gender and age were not seen as mportant factors, as there were examples of contemporaries in age, older men to younger women, older women to younger men, and women to women. Personal compatibility, professional respect and philosophical congruence were critical. Mentoring was initiated from early, mid and late career stages with the average length of the relationship being fourteen years. There was seldom an example of the mentoree using the mentor for hierarchical career climbing, although frequent career changes were made. However, leadership actions were found to increase after the intervention of a mentoring relationship. Three major categories of informal mentoring were revealed - perceived,acknowledged and deliberate. Further analysis led to the evolution of the core concept, a 'cascade of influence'. The major finding of this study was that this sample of leaders, mentors and new mentorees moved from the perception of having been mentored to the acknowledgment of these relationships and an affirmation of their efficacy for both personal and professional growth. Hence, the participants were more likely to continue future mentoring, not as a serendipitous happening, but through a deliberate choice. Heightened awareness and more frequent 'cascading' of mentoring have positive implications for the professional development of future leaders in environmental education in both formal and informal settings. Effective mentoring in environmental education does not seek to create 'clones' of the mentors, but rather to foster the development of autonomous mentorees who share a philosophical grounding. It is a deliberate invitation to 'join the clan'.

My New PenfriendMature
My New Penfriend
My dad and I had capital times,
Dad would sometimes buy a chocolate bar,
That on the return journey,
We would share,
Sometimes Wispa Mint,
Sometimes Aero; plain or mint.
My dad's white Nissan Sunny,
I christened Aslan,
From the BBC Narnia series.
On returning from school,
Once homework was complete,
I would watch films with dad,
Or we would play Monopoly.
As my dad pointed out,
We made a perfect team,
I knew I shared core values with dad,
A desire to help others,
Belief in God, fate and life after death.
My dad then visited India,
My gran took me to and from school instead,
I was glad, though obviously,
It was not like being with dad.
On dad's return, dad to me admitted,
My dad had met and befriended,
A widow with a daughter about my age.
I was deeply sorry for this girl,
For she had lost her own dad young,
And I valued deeply how lucky I was,
So I at once offered to write to her,
My dad agreed and I befriended her.
Knowing my dad as I did,
I secretly suspected,
That my dad had fallen in love,
But dad made no mention of such a thing,
And I did not press dad on it,
I knew I wouldn't like being pressured,
To open up about Hillary,
Even I had waited a while,
Before confiding in Adelaide,
I was sure dad wanted the same.

Corporate Resort & Royal Elite Timeshare Scam
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, December 17, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, December 17, 2013
We listed our Royal Elite timeshare with Corporate Resort USA in August of 2012. They were very friendly, persistent, and eager to give us great information regarding how quickly our week would sell. As you can see, it's been over a year and we've NEVER received a phone call regarding our listing. We've reduced the asking price several times and each time we did, it took more than 2 phone calls to get the price correct on the website. This company could care less about you once you give them your $600. I advise against anyone using them to "sell" your timeshare. If only we could get back the money we so willingly, so foolishly gave them...
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Tzirrpe: What the hell, Dad?Mature
The chaos and destruction Tzirrpe had seen on the monitor was now all around her. Plasma beams flew in opposite directions, many of them making fatal hits. One warrior had his snout blown off and was bleeding heavily. A couple of medics rushed over, but one of them was shot in the leg on the way.
Tzirrpe felt something on her shoulder. She whipped around with a quick hiss, then realized it was only her father. He started leading her behind a boulder. "What the hell are you doing?" Tzirrpe demanded.
Once they were seated behind the rock, the commander said, "If we don't get out of here now, we won't get out at all. This is going to be a massacre for one side or the other, and I don't want to risk you being part of it."
"But we can't just run! If anyone found out, we would be killed for dishonoring the government."
"Just look at that warrior over there." He pointed to the Talynian whose snout wound was now being bandaged. "Would you rather die like that, bleeding to death, or be killed quickly by an officer?"
Tzirrpe only had a second to consider this. "All right, we'll go. We can find the rebel squad and hide out with them."
As they ran, her father shouted, "Keep fighting! Show no mercy!" The standard battle cry. Tzirrpe risked one quick glance back. The warrior who now lacked a snout struggled to his feet and leaned against a rock to fire his plasma rifle. He probably wouldn't last until sunset.

Item description for Walking In Humility by Michael Vincent...Overview
Walking in Humility challenges the believer to follow Christ through walking in submissive obedience to God. All of us must follow the way of Christ "who humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross" (Philippians 2:8). With many penetrating discussions of Scripture, illustrations, and quotes, Mike discusses what humility means, and then shows how we can live as God requires (Micah 6:8). "The presentation of humility as it relates to the core Christian truths was both stimulating and challenging.... Mike has a very discipleship-oriented approach to living the Christian life. He didn't make it sound easy but surely worth the effort." -Author Ron Bennett, National Leadership Team, The Navigators Church Discipleship Ministry "The insight and hands-on advice included in Mike Vincent's Walking in Humility provide a guide for individuals who eagerly desire to live as Spirit-filled believers who have determined that life is not about them." -Pastor Dan Brenton, Fellowship Bible Church, Roswell, Georgia (from the Foreword) "Though we often discuss the ideal of humility, we rarely practice it. Jesus lived it.... Mike Vincent shows how we can allow Christ to live His life through us as we yield authority to His will." -Stephen Doggett, Associate Executive Director, Evangelical Free Church Mission "Walking in Humility by Mike Vincent wonderfully captures the simplicity and challenge of walking humbly with Christ.... It is extremely practical and I would recommend it to anyone who desires to walk with and experience Christ." -Joe Bucha, Human Resource Associate, Southeast Region, Campus Crusade for Christ

My skin is tender to the touch. Also burns at times and still numb in my back.
3 weeks post op and still sore. Is it normal to experience tenderness, burning and itching 3 wks post op after liposuction?
Doctor Answers 6
3 weeks post op and still sore. Is it normal to experience tenderness, burning and itching 3 wks post op after liposuction?
Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well.. This is the surgical procedure that revolutionized cosmetic surgery becoming one of the most performed cosmetic procedures. Subcutaneous tissue or fat is removed in order to contour the body in a way that is harmonious and pleasing to the senses. It can be performed in almost all regions of the body such as the neck, chin, abdomen, back, buttocks, thighs, arms and ankles. Usually done through a small incision in the skin through which a cannula connected to a vacuum is applied, it can be performed alone or in combination with other procedures. After liposuction your body is going to be really swollen for at least 2 to 4 months after your surgery. It is important for you to wear your compression garment for at least 6 months, the first 3 months 24/7 and then the last 3 months at least 12 hours per day for your body get use to not having the faja for so many time. When you remove it, your body can get swollen and also you can have pain. Remember to also compress your body to prevent a seroma which is an accumulation of liquid that has to be drained, it is hard to touch and also really painful. Bruises are completely normal for almost 3 months from surgery, that's why is better for you to use a bruising cream and apply it all over your body 3 times a day. To prevent bad circulation and swollen legs, use compression socks. Brazilian butt lift can be performed with the same procedure and for a month it will be swollen and it will drop a little bit without losing it's shape if you use your garment.. If you're going to perform liposuction on your inner, outer, anterior, lateral, postetior thighs, be careful and consult with your surgeon what's best for you, sometimes we have more extra skin than fat, that can cause severe sagginess on our legs, which can be only be reversed performing a thigh lift…
Post Liposuction Irregularities, Swelling, Pain -- Try Massage, Velashape or Venus Legacy With Your Compression
Pain is normal but pain and continuous burning out of the ordinary is not so you should speak to your physician. You are likely still swollen and need more post operative care and better compression. Best, Dr. Emer

Liposuction - still have burning, tenderness and itching after 3 weeks
Thank you for asking about your liposuction.
- Most people say they have relatively little pain after about 5 days but...
- In fact, sensitivity, tenderness and lumps can last for many weeks, even months.
- Let your surgeon know what you are going through -
- Above all, even if you still hurt, the trend should be slow but steady improvement - that means that your body is recovering, even if not fast enough for you!
You might also like...
Yes, you are still very early in your healing phase and still may have some burning and numbness, especially since you still have some swelling. Please follow your post operative instructions, and discuss any concerns you have with your doctor.
Liposuction and sensitivity
You are still healing and the weird sensations you are experiencing are not uncommon during the early post-op. Best to see your doctor if concerned.

3 weeks post op and still sore. Is it normal to experience tenderness, burning and itching 3 wks post op after liposuction?
Thank you for sharing your question. By three weeks after your procedure you should have been seeing a steady improvement in your swelling, tenderness and overall healing process. It is not uncommon to still have some soreness depending on the location and amount of liposuction performed, while the itching and burning sensations are the result of irritated skin nerves which can take several months to fully resolve. Be sure to maintain close follow-up with your surgeon to ensure an uncomplicated recovery and so that they can provide you with further reassurance.

Conversation with Maria Popova
Every day Maria Popova, creator of the the wildly popular Brain Pickings website, casts her curatorial eye over a range of ideas from around the globe, sharing with us her world of curiosity. She began Brain Pickings as a record for herself of ideas that interested her outside what she was learning in her college courses. At the same time she was also working as an intern at a small ad agency that was always looking for creative inspiration, so she started a weekly staff newsletter. The email was shared and found an audience outside the agency, and Popova realised there was an intellectual market for her work and built them into a simple webpage, today we would call it a blog.
She says while it's great that people enjoy her discoveries they are 'where my curiosity takes me and I just share it, it's not about what do people want to learn about today'.

We all lose bone mass with age' and rebuilding bone is quite challenging. Strontium is the first mineral shown to rebuild bones. Strontium decreases bone resorption and increases osteoblast activity: leading to new bone formation and reduction of bone loss result in the accumulation of old bone' which is not as healthy as youthful bone.
Animal studies have demonstrated that strontium supplementation leads to the multiplication of osteoblasts (the cells responsible for the building of new bone). In bone tissue cultures' exposure to strontium increases the production of new bone and collagen' and slows down the maturation of new bone and collagen' and slows down the maturation of osteoclastic cells (the cells which break down bone).
The safety and efficacy os strontium was demonstrated in over ten thousand patients in double-blind randomized controlled trials. One trial revealed increases i bone forming activity of 172% after six month of strontium gluconate supplementation. long-term studies have also demonstrated reduced fracture rates when taking strontium.
Studies demonstrate that strontium is not effective when calcium is absent from the diet. So' when strontium is taken to support bone health' one must also take adequate calcium. Calcium should not be taken at the same time as strontium because both compete for the same absorption pathway in the gut. It is best to take strontium on an empty stomach 1 hour before or 3 hours after eating.

Mumbai, April 2: The pre-poll survey conducted by Times Now-India-TV-CVoter has predicted the return of the AIADMK to power in Tamil Nadu with its supremo J Jatalalithaa becoming the chief minister of the state for the record sixth time.
- LDF to win 86 seats in Kerala, says Times Now-CVoter opinion poll
- Trinamool may win 160 seats in Bengal, says Times Now-CVoter opinion poll
- What Cvoter poll had earlier predicted about Tamil Nadu
The predictions, if come true, will mark an unusual moment in Tamil Nadu's politics since it will be the first time since the days oAIADMK founder MG Ramachandran that a ruler will be able to beat the anti-incumbency factor to win a second term in a row.
The AIADMK alliance is expected to win 130 seats in the 234-member Assembly while the DMK-Congress combine may bag 70 seats. Vijaykanth's DMDK, who recently joined the People's Welfare Front, may win 14 seats.
The AIADMK combine's vote-share may be 30 per cent, which is a good 20 per cent less than that garnered last time. The DMK-Congress may win 32 per cent vote-share while the DMDK may get eight per cent vote-share.
The BJP is likely to draw blank in the ensuing elections.
The C-Voter's survey held in March had predicted the AIADMK to win 116 seats and the DMK to win 101 seats. In terms of vote-share, however, the AIADMK's figure was reduced by two per cent (39 per cent from 41 per cent) and the DMK's by eight per cent (32 per cent from 40 per cent). The BJP's vote-share is also predicted to come down by one per cent from five per cent in March.
Cong-DMK look favourites in Puducherry
The Congress-DMK combine may win 17 of 30 seats in the Puducherry Assembly, the survey said. The currently ruling AINR Congress may get just seven seats.

Adrift: Chapter One
Day One: 1,264 words.
The winds were violent as were the ocean waves that crashed into the beach and dragged away all in their path. A dark cloud lay on the horizon looming towards a secluded island chain. With every inch the storm came closer the winds grew more violent and the stronger the waves crashed. A little girl sat far from the water, where the sand met the grasses of the jungle. The girl's skin was bark-colored, glossy, and her thick black curls blew as wild as the palm leaves. She eyed up the waves with suspicion as she dug her hands deep into the sand, grabbing a large wad and piling it beside her. The ground vibrated; she looked up to she a group of children rushing and shouting on the beach, having a game of volley. They ran so free, often close to the rough, dangerous waters, but continued to laugh and play without care. The little girl sat alone, building in the sand, much farther from the ocean. She remained involved in her sand sculptures, but from time to time, glanced up at the playing children.
"I'm awful at volley", she thought to herself.
But nonetheless, she would look up from her work and watch the game. There were four children: a chubby girl with frizzy hair, a boy with fresh cornrows (soon to be covered in sand), a lanky boy, and another boy who was far too well-dressed to be playing on the beach. The lanky boy hid his face when the ball came his way, but the well dressed boy on his team played for the both of them, singlehandedly winning against the other two children each time. The little girl giggled as she watched the kids argue. Between the crashing waves, strong winds, and the construction in the village, it was hard to hear what they were saying, but she could make out words such as, 'No Fair', 'Showoff', and 'Jealous'.
If the volley game wasn't enough to distract her, behind where she sat, teams of laborers bustled and sweat as they hung banners and shells on the trees, arranged flowers along the stone pathways, rolled barrels of rum toward the village square, and grilled a feast of fish, pork, and vegetables. The workers were diligent, but there was fear in their eyes when they looked out into the horizon. Strong gusts made their work difficult; for every few banners they hung, one fell and was carried off into the wind. The little girl watched as a rope hung loose from one of the palms. None of the workers seemed to notice and it would be a shame if the vibrant painted banner were to fly off to a distant land. It wasn't too far from the girl and the rope wouldn't be out of her reach. Her eyes diverted to a group of people, seated at wicker tables under an awning farther down the beach. They enjoyed a lavish feast and were dressed as elaborate as was she in her flowing azure dress that brought out the blue in her eyes. Conflicted, her vision darted between the rope and the diners. Palms blocked their sight surely? But as she decided, the rope came undone and with the banner it flew west toward the mainland coast.
"Maybe we'll find it again one day" she thought, returning her attention back to the sand.
The mound of sand was taking shape. She sculpted a tortoise and was decorating its large shell with seashells from the beach as well as flowers that had blown her way. While she knew tortoises could not grow flowers on their shells, she also knew she hadn't seen a tortoise in well over twelve moons. Who's to say they hadn't grown some in the time they were gone? She was nearly finished when a voice startled her, almost causing her to fall face first into her creation.
"Why a tortoise? Talk is the sailfish will host tomorrow's festival." The boy in wet ragged clothes said, looming behind her, pressed against a palm.
It took her a moment to regain her balance and compose herself before stating with a slight shake in her voice , "The sailfish can cut through the waves, but he'll grow tired. The tortoise knows not to fight; he'll guard himself and survive the night."
He scrunched his face and shook sand from his long hair which had half-way turned to dreads. "The tortoise is smart. But I doubt our village would understand. They'll celebrate the sailfish tomorrow and try to cut through."
She stared at him confused for a moment, "What do you mean?"
But before he could say anything, a laborer from the fishing docks grabbed him by the shoulder and tried to pull him back to work. The boy was defiant, shoved the man's arm away, and ran back to the docks himself. The girl wished he had stayed. She wanted to know what he meant. Tomorrow was the Full Moon Festival, the celebration of life. No one would die surely? Even the sailfish knew his limits.
But there was no use trying to decipher what the fisherman boy said. He was a laborer after all; his lack of proper schooling must have made him unsure in his speech. Besides, the little girl had become hungry. The tortoise was complete and a delicious buffet awaited her four stone throws down the beach. She left her sand sculpture, bidding it luck to stay standing in such weather, and made her way to the awning to eat.
Her stomach growled like a panther as she viewed the fully stocked buffet of rotisserie pork, grilled fish, stir-fried roots, puddings, and cold coconut milk to drink. A laborer handed her a slab of bark as she neared the buffet table and she rushed over to the pudding like it was instinct. As her plate piled high in banana and sweet potato puddings, she heard a laugh behind her. She put the bark down on the table and hugged the tall woman behind her.
"My dear Omoachel, you're trying to fill up on dessert. Please, at least have a taste of pork," the woman brought her plate to the meat section and cut a small sliver from the pig, "it's sweet; you'll like it."
She handed Omoachel the bark slab, now with added pork; the little girl sniffed the meat and looked at it with a slight frown.
The woman laughed, "It tastes good, I promise."
The little girl looked up at the tall woman and smiled, "Thank you, Aunt Talau."
They sat together at one of the tables under the awning. Her aunt had dark, glossy skin like hers as well as cloudy blue eyes, and thick black hair although the older woman wore hers back in a tight bun decorated with large yellow and orange flowers. Talau shoveled meat and vegetables into her face like the world was ending while Omoachel picked at her pork like a mouse sharing a meal with a lion.
Talau's focus was on the coming storm, "Do you like it here?"
Omo was oblivious to her aunt's distress, "Of course. This is home. How couldn't I?"
Talau sighed to herself and returned to eating.
Omoachel had tried, but couldn't get it off her mind and blurted out, "Sailfish or Tortoise?"
The tall woman stopped eating. She was silent, but her face could tell she was in deep thought. "We haven't seen a tortoise in many moons." She couldn't take her eyes off the horizon. Far out in the sea was near black; the arriving storm would be vile. Looking back to her niece's wide dark blue eyes she stated, "Tomorrow we'll celebrate the tortoise."

Cloud Security Starts at the Endpoint
By Lawrence M. Walsh, CEO and President, The 2112 Group
Security concerns remain the chief obstacle in cloud adoption. End-users don't trust the security of cloud providers, but that shouldn't be their only concern. Perhaps cloud security starts with the end-user and their ubiquitous endpoints.
The chief objection to the adoption of cloud computing is security. End-users are rightfully concerned that cloud providers do not have the security infrastructure, policies and procedures necessary to adequately safeguard data and respond to security incidents. As a result, users reluctant to put production systems and business critical applications in hosted environments.
But perhaps they're wrong, at least in part, about the source of security vulnerability. Perhaps the real security vulnerability is resting in their own palms.
The Channel Partners Cloud Convergence Council, a joint project of Channel Partners magazine and The 2112 Group, recently met on the challenge of providing security in the cloud-computing era. While there's no denying that hosted environments have plenty of security issues and points of vulnerability, security risk is a matter of identifying the path of least resistance. In cloud computing, that path often starts at the endpoint.
The cloud is sometimes referred to as this magical place where platforms, infrastructure and applications reside. Businesses can make their software and data available to employees and customers from any place at any time with greater scalability and efficiency, with a reduced cost. What businesses often overlook or don't mention is how the cloud is accessed – and that's through endpoints: desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones.
The volume of malware targeting smartphones is increasing dramatically as these devices store increasing amounts of sensitive data as well as credentials for accessing hosted and cloud-based services. Laptops have always been a favorite target of thieves, and users often cache their access credentials for network and cloud services. The explosion of tablets, which are not just being used for Web-based applications but also virtualized instances of business applications, will undoubtedly become a bulls-eye for hackers and thieves.
Cloud services do need to do better at safeguarding the data of their customers and providing assurance of service reliability and integrity. What the Cloud Convergence Council is looking at, though, is the channel – IT and telephony alike – playing an active role in raising the level of awareness amongst end users for the need of protecting the access points to the cloud. All the data center security in the world is rendered useless if a hacker is able to compromise an endpoint and hijack authorized users' credentials.
Obviously, there's no such thing as absolute security. It's a practical impossibility, and cloud subscribers must always anticipate and plan for the worst-case scenario if a breach occurs (and they always do). Rather than demanding more security, the Cloud Convergence Council believes end-users need to have a better understanding of the level of security and the potential risks of engaging a cloud service. If they enter into a service agreement with their eyes open, they will be more prepared should something go wrong.
The Cloud Convergence Council believes it's the channel's responsibility to educate the end-user community to security risks in the cloud. To that end, it's working on tips for solution providers to advise end-users on security due diligence in selecting cloud service providers. Ultimately, cloud security will be less about technology and more about awareness and understanding.

Yes, Luke finally speaks in Star Wars Episode VIII -- and what he reportedly says may throw a lot of fan theories into a tailspin.
The latest Star Wars theory about Rey's ancestry is ... kind of credible?
Back in August, it was announced that Star Wars: The Force Awakens star Daisy Ridley had been cast as the female lead in director Doug Liman's Chaos Walking. Now it looks like they've zeroed in on a Spider-Man star to headline the movie alongside the young British actress.
Lionsgate's upcoming post-apocalyptic thriller Chaos Walking has found its female lead in a Star Wars: The Force Awakens star.
Daisy Ridley is hard at work learning some cool Jedi moves for Rian Johnson's Star Wars movie, and you can have a sneek peak at what sort of fight scenes we can expect from Rey.
Though the story was all about finding Luke Skywalker, one of the big mysteries still lingering from Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the parentage of new star Rey (Daisy Ridley). Well, director J.J. Abrams just opened up a can of worms on that front.
Along with a whole lot of geeking out, the first trailer of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story also launched a new theory about Rey's parentage. So, what does Daisy Ridley make of the guess?
The circle is now complete. When Luke and Yoda trained, Luke was but the learner. Now he is the master.
Here are two more sneak peeks at the galaxy of bonus features from the new Star Wars VII Blu-ray release.
In filming Episode VIII, the more things stay the same, the more things change.
Though it brought back more than a few fan favorites, arguably the best part of Star Wars: The Force Awakens was all the new blood J.J. Abrams brought into the mix — and no one stood out quite as much as Rey.
Eleven days ahead of its premiere, Star Wars: The Force Awakens unleashes yet another new behind-the-scenes video.
A new international trailer and poster for Star Wars: The Force Awakens takes us to a galaxy far, far away with some epic new footage.
Princess Leia herself had some cool advice to give to new Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley.
Since we won't be getting any more new trailers until the film's release in December, Disney has dropped more than 40 new screen grabs from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Kick back and dig in — these are awesome.

Boeheim Wards Off Critics From All Corners
By WILLIAM C. RHODEN
Published: February 20, 1991
As his players boarded a team bus last Friday, Jim Boeheim, the head basketball coach at Syracuse University, sat in his office at Manley Field House doing some routine last-minute checking: Was the bus loaded? Who wasn't on it? Why? Where were they?
The telephone rang, Boeheim excused himself and took the call. It was someone informing the 47-year-old coach of the latest episode in his mini-feud with Dick Vitale, the broadcaster, which began when Vitale speculated on national television that Boeheim's job could be in jeopardy.
Vitale had been quoted as saying: "I'm afraid that given the poor off-court record of Syracuse's players and the current reform movement in the N.C.A.A., Syracuse administrators might have to give in and ask Jim Boeheim to resign as coach when the investigation is over." 'Irresponsible Behavior'
Boeheim had been incensed. He called ABC, which employes Vitale, and suggested, among other things, that Vitale be dismissed for making the remarks, which Boeheim regarded as inappropriate.
The caller was informing Boeheim that Vitale was now angry. Boeheim shrugged. "That's the most irresponsible behavior that somebody who's supposed to be in the media can possibly do," he said, alluding to Vitale. "Talking about the kids, the games, who's going to get in; that's one thing. Even who isn't doing a great coaching job, or who is. That's O.K.
"But when you start speculating about people's jobs I think you've gone over the line." Pressure on the Coach
Allegations over misdeeds in the basketball program surfaced in The Syracuse Post-Standard in December, and then two weeks ago seven Syracuse players were suspended by the university and then reinstated by the National Collegiate Athletic Association hours later. As a result, Boeheim, whose Orangemen play St. John's (17-6, 8-6) at Madison Square Garden tonight, is feeling more pressure than he has in his 15 seasons as a head coach.
"The only thing I can say is that these are difficult times," Boeheim said. "Obviously, there's nothing easy about what we're going through."
Asked about his personal feelings, he added: "When you've been some place 28 years and when you take into consideration what this place means to me, I don't think that should leave any doubt about what my feelings are. There should be no question." Making the Team as Walk-On
Boeheim, who came to Syracuse in 1962, made the basketball team as a walk-on. After his college career, he spent four years in the Eastern League, then returned to Syracuse in 1969 as a graduate assistant. He was promoted to assistant in 1972 and succeeded Roy Danforth as the head coach in 1976. Syracuse has never had a losing season under Boeheim and has enjoyed eight consecutive 20-plus victory seasons. Syracuse has led the nation in attendance for the last five seasons.
This year's team has exceeded all expectations. Syracuse (23-3, 9-3) which was picked to finish third in the Big East, comes into the Garden ranked fifth in both news-agency polls.
Unfortunately for Boeheim, the team's success has been overshadowed by an internal investigation being conducted by two law firms and monitored by a faculty oversight committee. The negative publicity has embittered a number of Syracuse players and has forced Boeheim, perhaps for the first time in his career, to balance his sharp-tongued, hard-core coaching tactics with compassion in order to keep his team settled. More Aware of the Players
"When you get into difficult times you have to be more aware of your players' thoughts, what they're thinking, how they're acting," he said. "You have to be very concerned about that."
Boeheim rejected the notion that the controversy surrounding the program had brought the team together.
"This team was exhibiting these things in practice in the fall," he said. "They were playing together; they were doing good things. I just think this team has a little better outside game, we've got the two ball-handlers instead of one. We're not a powerful team, we're not as physical, we don't run as well, but we've got a nice solid balance to our team." A Sharper Edge
There also seems to be a sharper edge, perhaps a deeper commitment and a greater capacity to focus. Boeheim said those factors might be attributable to the controversy.
"I've been trying to get them to concentrate and do the very best they can now because you can't get this season back," Boeheim said. "This summer, this investigation will have been completed and whatever happens happens. The season's over. You can't then say 'Well, now we can concentrate on playing.' You can't do that.
"When I get done with every season I want to look back and say I did the best coaching job I could do. If that means bottling things up and putting things away, that's what I'll have to do. I'm going to help this team get through and be as successful as it can be, because we can never reclaim it."

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Thank you for your question. If you have filed an incorrect tax return, you should file an amended return to correct it. You say you and your husband both filed as head of household....you may both need to file amended tax returns. If you were married and lived in the same home the last half of the year, neither of you can claim HOH. You can file MFJ or MFS. The child tax credit may not be an issue but if there was earned income tax credit, that could be an issue. If you need further clarification, please let me know. I look forward to your response. Stephanie
Forgive my ignorance. Are you able to view the returns? I am at a loss and really worried I will owe a lot of money :(
I think my tax rep is sketchy...
