There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Evaluation of arterial ischemic stroke usually begins in the emergency room. Stroke specialists will conduct a rapid physical examination and the care team will work to quickly confirm and locate the cause of the stroke—a blood clot or abnormality in a brain artery—through imaging tests. These can include:
All these tests are painless and noninvasive, although some might require placement of an intravenous (IV) line to deliver agents needed for certain types of imaging. Since MRI requires a child to hold still inside a scanner, very young children may need sedation. CT scans use ionizing radiation, so Boston Children's has changed its protocols to keep doses as low as possible.
In addition to imaging, the care team may collect blood samples to look for a medical condition that may increase risk for blood clotting. At Boston Children's, detailed blood testing is sometimes offered through our Thrombosis and Anticoagulation Program and our Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

The Conquistadors Pursuit of God, Gold, and Glory
Steel, Savagery, Plague, and DOMESTICATED Animals: How Europeans Conquered the ancient civilizations of America and created a "New World."
What we believe we know about history influences our interpretation of events.
In 1519, when Cortez and his men entered the city of Tenochtitlan, they were encountering the largest urban center they had ever seen. Indeed, it was one of the largest anyone had ever seen. At the time, Tenochtitlan's population was perhaps 300,000. At the time, London's population was only about 90,000 – it was recovering from the plague's destructive influence. Madrid, the capital of Spain had a marginally healthier population of 100,000. Nevertheless, Cortez and his men had never seen such a city, and must have been awestruck.
Only the Mayans, a civilization which once dominated and continues to influence the Yucatan Peninsula, were able to create a written language which was passed on from generation to generation. No North American tribes had any written language until the Cherokee invented their own alphabet to represent their language. The Aztecs and Incans – the most influential cultures of the region at the time of first contact – had no written language. This proved to be a major disadvantage for the indigenous people of the Americas.
The image of Native Americans on horseback is one which has been passed on in American history and American folklore since the establishment of the nation. But horses were a relatively new acquisition for Native American tribes in North America, and their influence only extended to the North during the first century of the European conquest. Indigenous people in North America were quick to adopt the horse, and tribes on the Great Plains were especially reliant upon it by the time Americans began encroaching on their territory during the 19th Century.
The notion that Christopher Columbus discovered anything at all is questionable enough… After all, the Americas were populated by tens of millions of indigenous people. He wasn't even the first European to reach the Americas – that title almost certainly goes to Leif Ericson, the Viking explorer, seems to have established some sort of an outpost in Eastern Canada four or five hundred years before Columbus. For close to 500 years, however, Columbus was hailed as the discoverer of the continent, and the man who brought Christianity to a continent of people never exposed to the Gospels.
Although we know how this story came to an end, it doesn't make the outcome any less improbable. Cortez had less than three hundred soldier with him as he entered the largest city in the New World. European soldiers always had certain advantages in terms of war animals, weaponry, and strategy, but none that could overcome such an overwhelming numeric disadvantage. But other factors were at work, as well.
The First Thanksgiving is usually taught to young students as a celebration between the Pilgrims and Indians. That Thanksgiving dinner did, in fact, take place; however, it wasn't the first Thanksgiving in America by a longshot. Even in our own area, Jamestown resident had a Thanksgiving of sorts at least ten years before the Pilgrims. Remember that Jamestown was established in 1607. The first Thanksgiving in North America was probably in 1534, near St. Augustine, Florida. The oldest city in America is often excluded in history textbooks because it was a Spanish city.
Jamestown was a settlement established in order to make money. The colony was exclusively male when it was established, and no English women were allowed into the colony until 1619. A few Englishmen married Native American women in those years; however, for the most part, the colony was devoid of the female sex. This probably accounts for the terrible struggles the colony had during its first decade. New England colonies, which arguably dealt with a more severe climate, tended to be healthier and more successful due to the strength of the nuclear families in the region.
We know that Africans were brought into Jamestown in 1619. Whether or not these individuals were enslaved is less obvious, though. Remember that there was no slavery in England. Slavery in America was an invention of American colonists, and it was peculiar version of slavery historically. Slavery had been around for a long, long time. China, the Greeks, the Romans, and a plethora of African culture all practiced slavery. However, slavery in America came to mean something slightly different: race-based, hereditary slavery.
In 1619, none of the rules regarding slavery had been established. Indeed, most of the servants who came to Virginia signed four to seven year contracts. If they lived, they became freeholders. Based on the large population of free blacks in Virginia – on the Eastern Shore, and in Portsmouth and Norfolk by the 1700s – we may conclude that at least some of these individuals were liberated.
It is believed that over ten million indigenous people populated the continents of North and South America before the arrival of Columbus. Within 100 years, ninety percent of these people had died from disease. Virgin soil epidemics devastated the population of the Americas. With each new disease, perhaps ninety percent of the population was infected with a deadly pathogen. Of those infected, ninety percent might die. Four out of five people in a society might pass away from each disease which was introduced to the society. When wave after wave of these virgin soil epidemics came through, the nursing and medical professions in a culture collapsed, and chaos often ensued.
We tend to think of the gun as the decisive weapon which gave Europeans an advantage in their encounters with indigenous peoples of the Americas. However, the story is not that simple. Remember that "guns" were not the same weapons that they are today. The harquebus was an impressive weapon to the indigenous people of North America – as it was to the Spaniards. However, it was not always the most functional weapon. It had to be loaded and fired carefully, and it was frightfully inaccurate and time consuming to use. Not the ideal weapon for frantic exchanges in hand to hand combat. Far better for the Europeans: war animals like mastiffs and horses, steel swords, and armor.
Cultural Influence of the Vikings
Cultural influence of crusades
Simple geography played a role in motivating Spanish and Portuguese traders. At the Western periphery of Europe, Spain and Portugal were as far removed from the trade routes of the Ottoman Empire as any nations could be; accordingly, costs were high. Having recently removed Islamic peoples from the Iberian Peninsula, the nations sought to access markets in Africa and Asia by sea – thereby avoiding the treacherous land routes to Asia. A variety of factors encouraged them to improve their navigation:
Prospects of gold in Africa.
The desire to obtain goods at lower prices.
Improvements in art, mapping, navigation and shipbuilding.
Government encouragement by Henry "the Navigator" in Portugal.
Hopeful that they may have greater autonomy to trade in Africa, and then parley their success into a route to the "Indies," Portuguese sailors were the first to seek a water route to Asia. Bartolomeu Dias was the first navigator to make his way to the Cape of Good Hope in 1487. A decade would pass before Vasco de Gama rounded the southern tip of the continent in order to make his way to India. Hence, the Portuguese were the first to find a water route to the Indies. But in 1492, Christopher Columbus had made an even greater discovery by sailing West to the Indies. Confident that the world was round (as most sailors were at this point in history) he sailed directly west and into the Americas, setting an ecological, environmental, economic, social, and cultural revolution into motion, the likes of which he could never have anticipated, controlled, or changed once it began.
Before the accidental discovery of the Americas by Columbus in 1492, American civilizations had already been established at Cahokia (central North American mound builders) present-day Mexico (the Aztecs and Mayans) and Peru (the Incan Empire).
Not only were these peoples advanced in their technological expertise, but also, they were enormous population centers.
It is believed that Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire, was a city of over 250,000 – larger than Madrid, Paris, and London.
The improbability that Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortez and his men could control such a vast population has led to the mischaracterization of the event historically. Neither military might nor deference alone allowed Cortez to gain the advantage. In fact, pathogens very likely played the largest role in his victorious assault on the Aztec civilization.
It may be best to view the "discovery" of North America as an environmental and ecological event. Historian Alfred Crosby has likened it to the crashing together of continental land masses. It was as though Europe, Africa, and Asia literally crashed into the Americas. Indeed, plants, animals, parasites, and diseases may have done more to subdue the continent under Europeans control than any actions on the part of explorers.
The Colombian Exchange
When European plants and animals were introduced to the New World, they established themselves as invader species and recreated the environment in the image of Europe. Domesticated animals in Europe - the horse, cow, pig, and sheep – had virtually no predators in the New World, and thrived. European vegetation was transplanted as well, often taking over ecosystems before European explorers had ever seen the territory. Most importantly, though, European diseases – smallpox, influenza, typhus, malaria, and bubonic plague, just to name a few – wreaked havoc upon Native American immune systems. Epidemics wipe out entire societies.
The Role of Domesticated Animals
Horses, cows, pigs, and sheep were critical to the success of European conquistadors in both the subjugation of foreign cultures and the establishment of colonial empires. Spanish explorers in the Caribbean often "seeded" islands with pigs and cattle – simply leaving the animals to root – so that when they returned there would be a supply of livestock. Since there were virtually no predatory animals in North America – or at least so few that they could not wipe out the invader species – the barnyard animals thrived. They also unwittingly spread two other European imports – the seeds of plant life and contagious diseases, which often spread from animals to humans. Other than dogs, chickens, and llamas, Native American communities had relatively few domestic animals.
The Role of Plants and Vegetation
The "exchange" which took place between the "Old World" and the "New World" was not a zero sum game, but it did have implications which effected the course of history. Among the foods which were acquired by Europeans were corn (maize), potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and manioc (cassava). These vegetables became important sources of caloric intake and nutrition for European populations – starvation foods. Many nations were able to improve their overall public health as a result, including Southeastern European nations and Ireland, where diminishing farmland had begun to cause major problems in terms of supporting a growing population in times of warfare and conflict.
The Role of Disease in the Columbian Exchange
Native Americans had lived in isolation from European and Asian civilizations for thousands of years, and accordingly, had not been exposed to the types of diseases which European nations had cultivated across centuries. One of the major reasons for infectious mutations was the exchange of viruses and bacteria between humans and animals – a common occurrence where humans and animals live in close proximity. Humans drank the milk of livestock animals, and exchanged contagious viruses and bacteria with animals unwittingly. Europeans, who had domesticated dozens of animals, were more frequently exposed to these mutations, and therefore developed superior immune systems to their American cousins. Native Americans, meanwhile would be subjected to waves of virgin soil epidemics in the 16th and 17th Centuries, decimating the population.
The Columbian Exchange, by Alfred Crosby
Dr. Alfred Crosby was the historian who first suggested that ecological determinism played a role in the "conquest" of Europe. His theories were dubbed "The Columbian Exchange," and the popularity of his work has prompted greater discussion of the role of germs, seeds, and technology in the conquest of Europe. More recently, Dr. Jared Diamond's work, Guns, Germs, and Steel has sought to explain the relatively easy conquest of Europe by Spanish, French, and English conquistadors by demonstrating the military superiority of fighting on horseback and the role that disease played in the conquest of empires.
Although Cortez brought with him less than three hundred men, his expedition was able to topple the government of an enormous empire in present day Mexico. This despite any formal military training or a particularly complicated strategy on his part. Tenochtitlan, the capital city of the Aztec Empire, had a population estimated at 250,000. It was much larger than Madrid, London, or even Paris in the year 1500. So how was Cortez able to take over the city?
Guns – the harquebus, which by today's standards barely even qualifies as a gun at all, was used by the Spanish effectively.
Steel – the Toledo swords and metal armor worn by the Spanish gave them a huge advantage over their rivals.
Horses – even more critical was the advantage given to the Spanish by their ability to fight from on horseback. Other domesticated animals provided food and labor for the Spaniards, as well.
Disease – Smallpox, influenza, plague, typhoid, and a host of other diseases were unknown in the Americas, and the virgin soil epidemics which ensued wiped out up to 90% of the population of the American continents. The chaos which coincided with Spanish invasions was largely a result of societies in collapse, as pandemic disease and military attack coincided.
The Incan Empire was probably more sophisticated than the Aztecs, and certainly vast enough in scope and in power to subdue the small, patchwork army led by Francisco Pizarro which attempted to subject them in the 1530s. Atahualpa, "the Inca" who was believed to be a direct descendent of God by his people was supremely confident in his over 80,000 soldier ability to defend his empire.
Jared Diamond, author of the book Guns, Germs, and Steel estimates that as many as twenty million Native Americans inhabited North and South American prior to the arrival of Columbus and the Spaniards.
Of those, close to ninety-five percent were wiped out by smallpox and other epidemic diseases. Other historians propose that the number could easily have been much higher – perhaps as a many as one hundred million.
Virgin soil epidemics left the survivors of these plagues in patchwork societies – where social structure, medical traditions, and cultural values were breaking down – or at the very least enduring enormous transformations.
European explorers, moving into these regions during the years after these pandemics had taken their devastating toll, often did not even recognize the scale of the devastation. They had no knowledge of these societies prior to their collapse, and could not have known the extent of their empires or their cultural presence prior to the onset of these devastating diseases.
What European imperialists did in pursuit of gold, out of a desire to spread Christianity, and in the name of their nations, was largely an accident of biology and geography.
Advantages of the Europeans – Literacy and Writing. Most Native American cultures did not have any recorded history. Historians worked in the oral tradition, and while there were sophisticated methods of preserving history via beads, illustrations, or storytelling, there was no written account.
When Pizarro and his men met Atahualpa at Cajamarca, they were overwhelmingly outnumbered. Yet, he and his men won a convincing military victory. What factors allowed them to do so?
What cultural differences incensed the Spanish and caused them to resort to violent conflict instead of coexistence?
The role of disease – pathogens cultivated in Europe and transmitted unknowingly by Europeans to cultures that were unprepared biologically to handle them – was decisive in determining the outcome of the First Encounters between cultures. Smallpox was especially virulent.
In his book, Germs, Seeds, and Animals: Studies in Ecological History, a follow-up to The Columbian Exchange, Alfred Crosby proposes that horses, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, and other domesticated animals – along with the seeds they carried in their fur and the germs they cultivated – did more to conquer the Americas than all of the great conquistadors of Spain or the imperialist explorers of Europe combined. Is this argument valid, or do the actions of human being have a greater impact upon history than the accidents of ecology, biology, and geography which Crosby and Diamond have identified in their work?

Hudson River Cuise
In July ''02 I am planning a cruise from Stonington, CT up the Hudson River to Catskill, NY.
My route will take me to the Hudson via LI Sound to the East River then up the Harlem River.
I am looking for information from anyone who has made this trip or a similar one.
I have plenty of boating experience, but I am new to sailing (I have completed the ASA courses in sailing and navigation). This spring I will be getting alot of shakedown time before embarking on my trip.

Great Trip but why not do it in the fall with the change of leaves--very pretty, especially Hudson Valley area (West Point to Tivoli Bay) You will find very little wind at that time of year and it will be very hot and humid. I don''t think you want to go through the Harlem River since there are special requirements and advance notification for bridge openings. Go down the East River and around The Battery and then up the Hudson--get to see a lot more ie. UN Plaza, Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, South Street Seaport etc. Watch out for the ferry boats when going around the Battery. Lots of Marinas and plenty of anchorages. You should have reservations at the Marinas. Neat places--Bear Mountain, Garrison, Cold Spring, West Point, Norrie Point Marina,Roundout Creek (Kingston). Any other questions?just ask. There is also a very eclectic group of boats and people who usually stay at the 79th Street Boat Basin in the Hudson River-you might want to reserve a mooring there and it is a good stoping point going from the Sound and around lower Manhattan before preceeding up the Hudson (it is south of the GW Bridge).
Hudson River Cuise
Hi Shimshon,
Thanks for the reply. My first plan was to go down around the battery, now I think I will go back to that plan. I make 3 trips (usually by car) every summer to stay near Catskill NY with friends. I can plan my cruise as late as september. I would like to use the motor as little as possible (or not at all!). Do you think September will give me better winds upriver? Do any really great marinas come to mind?
I''m guessing 2 days from the Battery to Caskill. Is this realistic considering light winds and current?
It''s going to be a long winter :(
Thanks again for your reply!
Hudson River Cuise
September should present you with some better opportunities for sailing. As I mentioned before, Norrie Point is a nice place to stay (aprox. 11 miles north of Poughkeepsie). If you are not adverse to anchoring-- just north of Cold Spring on the east side of the Hudson is a nice little cove with a view of the Storm King Mountains.
There is also a small marina in Garrison that you might want to consider. Garrison is a neat little village to stroll around in. Cold Spring has a great restaurant called the Hudson House that you might want to try.
A lttle farther north from Cold Spring and on the west side of the Hudson is the Cornwall Yacht Club which will take transients if they have the room--not much else there though. Good Luck!! In response to your question regarding time--if you pushed and motored most of the way, you could probably make it in two days. But you are talking about some long days since it is aproximately 75 miles from the Battery to Saugerties (Catskill). I think you would miss an awful lot that the Hudson has to offer.
Hudson River Cuise
Hello Shimshon,
I will be allowing plenty of time to enjoy the hudson. But, because I will be meeting friends in Catskill, I might head strait up then take my time on the return trip. It depends on my schedule. The information you have provided will be very helpful. Thanks again for you input.
It''s 70 degrees and sunny today, I''m wishing my boat was still in the water.

My father is a member of Nyack Boat Club in Nyack, NY. about 1/2 mile north of the Tappan Zee Bridge on the west shore.
The NBC website has info and links pertaining to this stretch of the Hudson.

I need to correct my mail to you of 12/2/01. I gave you the distance from the Battery to Poughkeepsie. The distance to Catskill is aproximately 106miles. So, you probably have aminimum of a three day trip to get there. Sorry for the error.

This article orginally appeared in The Times of Israel
by Dr. Robert Rozett
The "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" were authored by the Czarist secret police during the last years of the 19th century, primarily to support the Russian regime's virulently anti-Semitic policies. They are purported to be the minutes of a secret meeting between Jewish leaders who discussed their attempt to take over the world. Especially during the period straddling World War I, the "Protocols" began to spread far and wide, and in 1920 were even notoriously published by the American industrialist Henry Ford and were front-page news in The Times of London. Several months after they first appeared in The Times, that newspaper declared them to be a forgery. In two court cases in the middle of the 1930s, the "Protocols" were also declared to be a forgery. Nevertheless, around the world, millions believed every word, and the idea that "the Jews" are out to take over the world became and remains a staple of anti-Semitic discourse.
During the Nazi era, the ideas contained in the "Protocols," now married to the fallacious notion that the Jewish "race" is implicitly dangerous for mankind, were routinely invoked in official anti-Semitic rhetoric and in myriad informal forums. Most historians would concur that the "Protocols" comprise a considerable factor in the thinking that brought Hitler and his partners to persecute the Jews and to their policy of mass systematic murder. There also is no doubt that for a great many people a belief in the veracity of the "Protocols," to say the least, dampened any nascent impulses to oppose the unfolding Holocaust.
After the facts of the Shoah were brought to light, one would think that a screed like the "Protocols" would have been debunked forever. Yet, it was not. The extreme right continued and continues to espouse the "Protocols," and in the Muslim and Arab world they are at the core of anti-Semitic discourse. Major television series aired in recent years in Egypt ("Horseman without a Horse") and Syria, Lebanon and Iran ("Al-Shatat" — The Diaspora) were firmly rooted in the "Protocols." One can find support for the veracity of the "Protocols" on innumerable websites, blogs and discussion groups in a plethora of languages, and their presence on the web is ubiquitous. It is easy to obtain a copy either over the Internet or in many bookstores around the world.
Despite all of this, many people still consider expressions of belief in the truth of the "Protocols" to exist only on the margins of society. For a long time now this has not been the case, and the reading of a segment of the "Protocols" in a duly elected parliament in a member state of the EU must be taken as a new low. It is not that such a reading will automatically or necessarily result in a new Holocaust, and it would be much too facile to draw a direct line between the two. Nonetheless, the reading of the "Protocols" in the parliament is a highly symbolic act. It clearly demonstrates that the politics of hatred is not only alive and well, but is much too near the mainstream. Real and practical steps must be taken to prevent this kind of politics from gaining even more support, or actually gaining a hold on power. Public pronouncements, the media, laws, and most fundamentally, education, must all be harnessed to the effort to push the kind of hatred represented by the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" back to the margins and then stamp it out altogether.
Dr Robert Rozett is the Director of the Yad Vashem Libraries, author of 'Approaching the Holocaust, Texts and Contexts' (Vallentine Mitchell, 2005), and 'Conscripted Slaves: Hungarian Jewish Forced Laborers on the Eastern Front,' soon be published by Yad Vashem and University of Nebraska Press

Yad Vashem and the Anne Frank House Strengthen Ties
by Richelle Budd Caplan, Director, European Department,
International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem
International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem
In essence, Anne Frank wrote a "blog" 70 years ago. I have often wondered whether Anne would have won the Pulitzer Prize had she not died in Bergen Belsen?
Anne Frank was one of the 1.5 million Jewish children who died during the Shoah simply because she was Jewish. In hiding in Amsterdam, Anne noted in her diary that she wanted to become a journalist. She was a teenager who had aspirations – similar to those of Moshe Flinker who while in hiding in Brussels noted in his diary that he wished to become a statesman. Anne shared the hope to dream along with Abraham Kopolovitz who was born in Lodz, Poland, in 1930. During the Shoah, Abraham was imprisoned in the Lodz Ghetto. Abraham also left a notebook that was found after his death.
Anne's personal story has resonated with readers from all over the globe, especially young people, since her diary was originally published more than 60 years ago. Her words have touched many hearts and minds and she ultimately may be perceived as an icon. Approximately 1.2 million people annually visit the place where Anne spent approximately two years in hiding – 85% of them from outside of the Netherlands.
This week, Yad Vashem signed a first-ever cooperation agreement in the field of education with the Anne Frank House, expanding professional development opportunities for Dutch educators to study this difficult and complex subject matter. During our discussions with the Executive Director of the Anne Frank House, Ronald Leopold, it was clear that both of our institutions share a deep commitment to transmitting to educators and their students the importance of teaching about the Jewish victims' pre-war experiences, their everyday life struggles during the Holocaust and the dilemmas that Holocaust survivors – such as Otto Frank - faced after they were "liberated." It is thereby hoped that Yad Vashem and the Anne Frank House will now work more closely together to support teachers who wish to learn more about the Holocaust.

Teaching the Holocaust: the power of personal stories
During the month of October over 150 educators from countries as diverse as China, the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic, participated in seminars at Yad Vashem's International School for Holocaust Studies. While here, they met with Holocaust survivors, historians and leading educators, and had extensive tours of the Museums and resources at Yad Vashem. Many educators face challenges of all kinds in teaching the Holocaust. At the School, they have the opportunity to discuss these challenges with colleagues and experts. Here are some reflections by one of the participants, an educator from the Uk, who writes in The Guardian:

Going Green on the Mount of Remembrance
By Yifat Bachrach-Ron
The Yad Vashem campus extends over 45 acres of forest and groves upon the hills of Jerusalem. Some 15 acres are irrigated flower gardens and trees – most of them planted in honor of the Righteous Among the Nations.
Through the initiative of Gadi Giladi, Director of the Maintenance Department at Yad Vashem, the flowers and trees now receive water discharged by the air conditioning system of the Museum Complex. This green-minded system, built by maintenance professionals, recycles 15,000 cubic meters of water from the air conditioning network every year. "Today, about a third of the manicured grounds at Yad Vashem are irrigated with recycled water," says Giladi. "In addition to the supreme importance of preserving water, this saves Yad Vashem some NIS 180,000 a year."
The Museum Complex, which includes the Holocaust History Museum, Holocaust Art Museum, Synagogue and Exhibitions Pavilion, is climate-controlled 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by an advanced cooling system that maintains constant temperature and humidity levels inside the museum halls throughout the year. The necessity of this is clearly dictated by the unique nature of the exhibits – personal effects, documents and artworks dating back to the Holocaust period. The temperature inside the museums is constant, regardless of the weather outside. This calls for a special air conditioning system, utilizing and discharging sizeable amounts of water. In the past, this water was simply wasted.
One of the most important processes which enabled Yad Vashem to recycle its cooling system water was the removal of lime scale, rendering water fit for irrigation. The process was closely supervised by agronomists and chemists, and helped achieve the necessary water quality.
At the heart of the new system are eight large tanks that collect water from the air-conditioning network and channel it toward the irrigation system. In an added measure of forward-thinking, the tanks double as water reserves for fire emergencies.

Curious St. Pauls
Rest day behind us we are off today to see St. Pauls Cathedral and go to a play. Anne had had a short visit to the Cathedral once before but Bruce had not been inside. An amazing unique cathedral. Surprising was the number of tributes to war dead, the leaders and heros and various battles and wars. Often in cathedrals Crypts are not open to the public but not the case here. We decided we needed a bit of exercise so decided to climb up to the Whispering ...
In London
Today we got up and had a nice breakfast at the hotel. We were going to run in Hyde Park, but the weather wasn't great. After breakfast we headed across the park to the museum district. The Natural History museum had a 45 minute lineup, so we went back to the science museum and looked at some more exhibits that we didn't have a chance to see last time we were there. After the museum we had coffee up at Foyles, then made ...

It was low tide so you could walk out to it but high tide you had to swim. Next was Llandudno which is on the water front with loads of people. We found a toll road which cost 3 pounds so very few people used it. It was great running around the cliff face and eventually to the top where there was ...

Submitted to: Florida Entomologist
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 10/1/2001
Publication Date: 12/1/2001
Citation: Carpenter, J.E., Bloem, S., Bloem, K.A. 2001. Inherited sterility in Cactoblastis cactorum (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). Florida Entomologist. 84(4):537-542. Interpretive Summary: The unintentional arrival of the cactus moth, in Florida has raised concerns for the safety of native and rare species of cactus in the Florida Keys and the potential spread of the cactus moth to areas of the western U.S. and Mexico. In addition to threatening the biodiversity of these native ecosystems, the negative publicity from such non-target effects could heighten public concern over the use of exotic natural enemies and jeopardize future weed biological control programs. Low doses of radiation can cause treated moths to produce sterile offspring. This type of induce-sterility is called inherited (F1) sterility. In this paper we report initial studies that investigated the response of the cactus moth to a wide range of radiation doses. Radiation-induced inherited sterility was observed at the lower doses. Inherited effects resulting from irradiation of males and females were expressed as reduced egg hatch, increased developmental time for eggs, and increased larval to adult mortality.
Technical Abstract: Newly emerged male and female adult cactus moths, Cactoblastis cactorum (Berg), were treated with increasing doses of gamma radiation and the moths were outcrossed to fertile counterparts. Fecundity of the moth pairs was not affected by increasing doses of radiation. The mimimum dose at which treated females were found to be 100% sterile when mated to untreated males swas 200 Gy. Fertility of treated males declined with increasing doses of radiation to approach 0 near 500 Gy. Inherited effects resulting from irradiation of P1 males and females were expressed in the F1 generation as reduced egg hatch, increased developmental time for the F1 egg, and increased larval to adult mortality. A shift in the F1 sex ratio in favor of males, as noted for other pyralids treated with radiation, was not observed.

This is the most eco-friendly toothbrush ever! Forget buying new sets of toothbrushes, instead just buy the bristles like this one! If everyone did this then there will be LOTS of plastic that goes un-wasted :)

It's like a soft toothbrush and I think it does not last long compare to other toothbrushes.
Finally an economical and green/eco toothbrush!
Posted by herbalicious on Apr 15, 2012 | Verified Purchase
I was so tired of throwing away my toothbrushes every 6 weeks. I am a rather eager brusher, so my bristles are always used up very quickly. This brush plus the soft replacement heads allow me to brush without feeling guilty about how much plastic I am using. Then I just recycle the bristle heads as I use them and get to keep the brush! :) The heads dont provide the type of reach or fancy design that a lot of brushes do, but it is adequate if your brushing technique is good. :)
Good idea

If you are looking to reduce the amount on plastic you throw away in your household, the Eco-dent toothbrushes are the way to go. The toothbrushes are so easy to use, my eight-year-old can pop off the replaceable head himself. They are just as good as your standard, basic toothbrush your dentist gives you after each visit, just as good as any grocery store version, also.

Watching as Midnight appeared in front of me I saw a sort of urgency in her eye, she told me to leave and so I left but I followed behind them. They began to head toward the boy's dorm and stopped outside a door. I stood around the corner and watched as the seemed to discuss something they left a few minuets later. Turning to follow them I saw the door open out of the corner of my eye and the Fire Fox Demon who I had encountered earlier stumbled out.
The Demon laughed to himself and said, "I guess you're watching Midnight?"
I contained my surprise that he knew I was there and stepped calmly around the corner. I was shocked to see that the Demon who had looked so powerful before now stood leaning against the wall with sweat glistering on his forehead.
"You want to protect her right? You don't want her to die?" I nodded and watched as he stumbled up right, he walked towards me and when we were level he whispered,
"Keep her away from me. She may die if she keeps seeing me..." He turned round to go back to his room but I grabbed his shoulder.
"If you DARE do anything to hurt Midnight I will rip you to shreds!" I spat at him my eyes glowing a demonic red.
"I wish you'd kill me now but I know you won't... no one will kill me. So instead just keep her away from me! Tell her anything just don't let her see me..." I couldn't speak. Why would a creature want to die so badly? I flexed my hand and knew that I could do it right now... I could kill him.
"Do it." He said seeing me flex my hand, I looked up at him. He looked so desperate but he was right I couldn't kill him... not without reason.
"You can't can you? Not even when you blood sucking monsters kill thousand just for their blood." That made me snap, I grabbed him round the next and flung him against the wall. I was inches from his neck but then I stopped myself,
"You did that on purpose?" I said puzzled, "You don't think that..."
"Just kill me!" I shook my head and let him go, I turned to leave but paused.
"I'll keep Midnight away from you... I'll protect her and if we do meet in battle don't you dare think that I won't kill you if I have to." I left the Fire Fox standing in the empty corridor and set out to keep an eye on Midnight.
After school the next day
"Hey! Benjeman! The principle wants to see you" I looked at the creature that was standing in front of me and nodded my head sharply. I turned back to look at Midnight and almost thought about not going but I had to,
Please Midnight... Don't do anything stupid.

Chapter 4 (Morgance)Mature
There was a small make-up kit in the bathroom, but Morgance's roommate was hogging it. Rather impatient, Morgance tapped the heels of her feet on the floor and drummed her fingers on the bed.
At long last, Morgance's roommate walked out of the bathroom. "All yours," she said in a rather sullen voice.
It occurred to Morgance that she hadn't even asked what the girl's name was.
"I'm Morgance Estella. I'm eighteen," Morgance said, stretching out her hand for her roommate to shake.
"I'm Lisha Orbit, and I don't shake hands," the girl said with an annoying smile. "It's not sanitary."
Oh, great. What kind of a roommate have I been landed with?
"Fine, then. Don't shake my hand," Morgance grumbled, very irked. Tossing her purple hair behind her shoulder, Morgance strode into the bathroom and began to apply foundation. "Just so you know, I hate being your roommate just as much as you hate being mine."
Lisha snorted. "Hurry up. I have to use the bathroom."
"You were just in the bathroom!"
"So what? I can't help it when my bladder is full!"
Anger rose within Morgance. "Funny, because I thought you'd be smarter than to fit into the typical blonde stereotype! But no-o-o, you're just as stupid as all those other blondes in the blonde jokes. You've heard 'em, right? Or maybe you're so dumb that you wouldn't understand them, anyways!"
Before Lisha could respond, however, a voice sounded in their room. "Singers, do not argue," said a strangely automated-sounding voice that startled both Morgance and Lisha.
"That was weird," Lisha muttered, and Morgance cast her a look.
I'm not finished being angry with you, you snotty little birdbrain! Morgance fumed inwardly.
"Just so you know, though," Lisha whispered, "purple hair is much worse than blonde."
"I honestly don't care what you think," Morgance growled.
"Singers..." the automated voice said again, warning in its tone.
"I guess that's our cue to get along," Lisha muttered, shrugging and picking through her set of drawers to find an outfit she liked.
Rolling her eyes, Morgance went back to applying her make-up. Within an hour, her make-up was added, a smooth black dress was put on, and her hair was prettily plaited.
Morgance glanced at the clock. 5:35. She opened the door and began to walk to Room 1124.
Well, here I go.

Fenris Recruited
Edit Page Last Edit:
Reach out to Fenris once you've completed the Bait and Switch quest. If he's not already in the party, he can be found cooped up in the mansion (named Fenris' Mansion on the world map) that you helped exorcise. You'll find a number of Codex entries around him, but the intimate conversation with Fenris takes center stage here, of course. There's much backstory to unveil in Fenris, but he remains rather vague, partially due to faulty memory or perhaps his tendency to repress his dark past. At any rate, you can emerge from this conversation closer to garnering his friendship or keeping him at arm's length.

The Power of the Ring
How did Dave come back into the ring you might ask
Well it has many powers to come up to the task
Of saving Dave and his furry brown butt
And this is not exception to pull Dave out of a rut
As Dave had been caught in danger's evil way
The he had called to the ring, to come save the day
It had heeded his call, but with much complaint on its part
For see this strange ring, it was alive from the start
And now it was useless, or so it may seem
For as Dave stood terrified the ring it did gleam
The bright line did shine, it shone and it flashed
And then Dave was gone, the badgels abashed
And where did Dave go? I'll tell you my child
He was suddenly miles away, in the deep wooded wild
The ring grumbled something and Dave cocked his head
'You're a bloody fat bugger to move!', the ring once again said

There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Boston Children's Hospital is constantly looking for ways to prevent and treat diseases and disorders, including velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS).
Research currently underway at Boston Children's involves an investigation of genotype/phenotype correlations in VCSF:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether variations in genes are associated with different medical conditions seen in patients with velocardiofacial/DiGeorge syndrome (VCFS/DGS). Researchers hope to understand why VCFS/DGS is so different from person to person. For patients with VCFS/DGS the study involves a review of medical, developmental and family history; a physical exam; a blood draw and taking photographs. For family members the study involves a review of medical history and a blood draw.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

I was beyond excited to try this foundation out since I had seen so many people rant and rave about its wondrous coverage and lasting power. I picked up the lightest colour there was (I can't remember the exact name for the shade) that had yellow undertones in it and I was really taken aback the first time I tried it. It was extremely cakey no matter how little I used. It just kind of sat on my skin like a mask and made it look like I was wearing near 4 coats of foundation when I had only used a pea-sized amount. The colour was also really dark for the lightest shade. Apparently there used to be an even lighter shade before the one I used that they discontinued, which is really sad.
I love Kat Von D's other products and I initially loved this product too. However, it gave me the most painful cystic acne of my life. Now, I don't have the best skin to begin with, but it made it 1000x worse. I stopped using it for my face and only used it to cover up other places, neck and such while on acne medication and it STILL gave me acne, just now on my neck. I will never repurchase no matter how much I liked how it looked. Now I wonder if her powder products will be just as bad, since I'm trying to go cruelty free, but am not looking for break outs.
this foundation is a god send. The formula is great, it stays all day it DOES NOT break me out and that alone is amazing. Whenever i use this foundation my skin looks porcelain and smooth. i just love it so much try it out seriously
I used to use the Estee Lauder, but after searching for different brands to cover up my bad acne, scars, and so on found this amazing foundation. I had a few problems with finding good primers so I am using both primer and finish spray from Skindovinia is awesome highly recommended. For a hot day make sure your face is fully dry and just add foundation directly to your face and just use finish spray.
This broke me out so bad on my nose and chin. I was so sad because the coverage is frigging amazing! :( I switched from this to the Too Faced Born This Way and it's similar, but much less matte.
I've used this foundation for about a year now, it looks great when you don't have any pimples and covers up redness and acne scars. But when you do have pimples,it looks sorta bad. This foundation makes it really obvious that you have pimples on your face. You're almost better off not using it. Plus when I was trying to cover up my pimples (which didn't work) it looked really cakey and felt like it was really clogging up my pores. It's a really thick foundation too. Not the best product for someone who has pimples everywhere. Also, a little goes along way. And I also find that it oxidizes through out the day (meaning it gets darker)
This.stuff.is.amazing.! It is literally the best foundation I have ever used. It covers every imperfection. You definitley dont need a concealer with this foundation. A little goes along way with this. If you use too much it is easy to look cakey. I found this at sephora and it was around $36 dollars. But it is well worth the price and it lasts you along time. The only bad thing is the product sells out fast so it is a struggle to find the right color for you. I had to make several trips to sephora to find it. But I recommend this for anyone with acne and redness, it will cover it all up!
I love this foundation! I mix it with a Garnier gel moisturizer to thin it out (so that I use less) and it's so pigmented that it doesn't lighten! It doesn't affect the texture of my skin (the main issue) unfortunately, but if I get any dark spots, it covers them easily.

I am always on the hunt for a foundation that will cover up my acne scares! I came across the Kat von d foundation after I saw many YouTube reviews on it. It is on the more pricey side but I think it is worth the money. It actually really covers up acne scares really good. Honestly you don't need much of it to do its job. If applied correctly you will love it.
