Life satisfaction two-years after stroke onset: the effects of gender, sex occupational status, memory function and quality of life among stroke patients (Newsqol) and their family caregivers (Whoqol-bref) in Luxembourg
Life satisfaction (LS) of cerebrovascular disease survivors and their family caregivers may relate to socioeconomic factors, impaired functions, health-related quality of life (QoL), but their respective influences remain unclear. This study assessed, two years post-stroke onset, the effects of these factors on patients' LS and family caregivers' LS in Luxembourg.
All stroke patients admitted to all hospitals in Luxembourg were identified by the
Two years after stroke onset, 44.7% of patients suffered from impaired sensory function, 35.1% from impaired motor function, and 31.9% from impaired memory function. Mean patient' LS was 7.1/10 (SD 1.9). It was higher in women (+12.4) and lower among unemployed socioeconomically active patients (−13.1, vs. retired people). Adjusted for sex, occupation, impaired motor and memory functions, LS positively correlated with scores of Newsqol feelings, sleep, emotion, cognition and pain dimensions (slopes 0.20 to 0.31), but did not correlate with those of caregivers' Whoqol-bref domains. Family caregiver' LS was 7.2 (SD 1.7). It was lower in those with patients suffering from impaired memory function (−12.8) as well as from feelings and emotion issues (slopes 0.22). It was associated with all caregivers' Whoqol-bref domains (physical health, psychological health, environment, and social relationships) (slopes 0.53 to 0.68).
Two-year post-cerebrovascular disease patient' LS was associated with gender, occupation, and impaired memory function. It correlated with feelings, sleep, emotion, cognition, and pain issues. Family caregivers of patients with impaired memory function had lower LS. Family caregiver' LS correlated with dimensions of patients' feelings (less independent, yourself, life changed, depressed, useless, less control because of stroke) and emotion (get more emotional, fear of another stroke or to become dependent on others), and with their own QoL. LS, Newsqol, and Whoqol appeared to be appropriate tools. Our findings may be useful for policy makers in relation to family and medical-social issues of stroke home-based rehabilitation.
Cerebrovascular diseases are a high priority for European health and social policy makers due to their high prevalence and also to the fact that they cause long-term disabilities and substantial socioeconomic and emotional impacts on daily life
Because of long-term disabilities and high mortality risk over time
For stroke patients at home, family caregivers (spouses, partners, etc.) may play an important role in patients' aid, care, and LS. Family caregiver' LS is thus important. Cerebrovascular disease is an important family issue, particularly for spouses
An important problem concerns stroke-related QoL domains. In the literature, patient' QoL has been assessed using various generic measures including health-related QoL, Sickness Impact Profile, and Nottingham Health Profile. Most of these measures fail to cover important stroke concerns such as communication, concentration, and memory. A recent review of the literature involving informal caregivers of stroke survivors (with and without aphasia) reported that all instruments used were generic
The present study aimed at assessing, two years after cerebrovascular disease onset, effects on patients' life satisfaction of socioeconomic factors, impaired functions (motor, visual, sensory, language, and memory), quality of life (via Newsqol which measure stroke-related QoL dimensions), and their family caregivers' QoL (via Whoqol-bref which measures physical, psychological, environment, and social relationship domains) in Luxembourg. The survey further evaluated the effects of these factors on the family caregivers' life satisfaction.
Study design, sample and recruitment
This was a retrospective health record audit involving all stroke survivors (797 patients) admitted to all hospitals in Luxembourg were identified in the
Inclusion criteria
– Living in Luxembourg at cerebrovascular disease onset.
– Hospitalised in Luxembourg between 1st July 2006 and 30th June 2007.
– A clinically diagnosed stroke (hospital discharge code based on the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems – 10th revision (ICD-10 codes: I60, I61, I62, I63, I64, and G46)). Patients who had transitory ischemic attacks (TIAs) were excluded. Aphasic patients were not excluded because the researchers were trained to communicate with them. To interview aphasic patients or patients with troubles of elocution, researchers used a large laptop with a visual questionnaire. They could show it to the patients, and read the questions with them, and then the patients could answer with a pointer. They were also trained by a speech therapist to develop an empathetic and comprehensive attitude (as the time of these interviews was much longer).
– Resident in Luxembourg (not in an institution) two years after cerebrovascular disease.
– Understanding by patient or primary caregiver of one of the four languages (Luxembourgish, Portuguese, French and German) used for the face-to-face interview (1 case excluded).
– And valid addresses (11 cases excluded).
An informational letter and a request for written informed consent were sent to 374 retained patients to obtain their agreement to consult their hospitalisation and rehabilitation records, and to explain the aims of the national survey and to give their authorisation for a researcher to visit their home. Clinical diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease was confirmed by the medical investigator.
Characterization of the stroke severity, subtypes and risk factor profile of patients
The Barthel Index or modified Rankin Score scales were chosen by the expert neurologist on the investigative team as a measure of stroke severity. However, neither internationally recognized standardized scale was documented in the medical records reviewed. Thus, stroke severity was estimated based on the presence of clinical signs at the admission or at the time of maximum severity during the 1st week, at the occurrence of an auricular fibrillation during the hospitalisation and a severe arterial hypertension to the admission
After receiving 102 signed informed consents (30 refusals and 242 missing answers) the research teams telephoned (up to five attempts) to make an appointment at the patient's home with the main caregiver identified by the patient as '
The consents of the main caregivers were obtained at that visit. Two researchers, one per interview, conducted the face-to-face structured interviews supported by a questionnaire.
Ethical restriction
The protocol was approved by the National Committee of Research Ethics (NCRE) and notified to the Committee for Data Protection of Luxembourg. Although no similar research has been conducted in Luxembourg the NCRE did not authorise us to contact neither the 242 patients who failed to respond, nor a family member.
Instruments and their translation
As Luxembourg is multilingual and very culturally diverse (more than 170 different nationalities), our questionnaires were available in four languages: Luxembourgish, Portuguese, French and German. Most of the instruments were already available in French or English. The German, Portuguese and Luxembourgish versions were translated and back-translated, and proofread by native-speaking professional translators. As Luxembourg does not have academic medical facilities, all neurologists were trained elsewhere in Europe. The Luxembourg Society of Neurologists includes specialists who speak many languages and are culturally diverse. They collaborated in supervising the conception of all documents, the questionnaire for the patients and the caregivers, and their translation.
Data collected from cerebrovascular disease patients
American Heart Association Stroke Outcome Classification: AHA.SOC
Stroke patient neurological impairments and residual disabilities were documented in motor, sensory, vision, cognition and language functions
Life satisfaction (dependent variable): LS
This is a single measure in which respondents self-rate their life satisfaction: "On a scale from 1 to 10, where would you place your level of satisfaction with your life?" (10 being the highest)
Newcastle stroke-specific quality of life measure: Newsqol
This instrument consists of 11 subscales (Additional file

Socioeconomic characteristics
The following socio-demographic characteristics were collected for all study participants: age, sex, nationality (Luxembourgish; others); educational level (under 12th grade; 12th grade and above), occupation at the time of the stroke onset (never employed; manual worker; employee/intermediate professional/technician; farmer; manager/professional), current occupational status (working; retired; unemployed), income (cut-off point of 36,000€; this represents three times the minimum wage in 2008). The municipalities were arranged in three groups: (Luxembourg City; 10 communes of more than 7,500 inhabitants; other municipalities)
Data collected from family caregivers
Life satisfaction (dependent variable) and socioeconomic characteristics
The same tools and procedure were used for the patients; in addition to the LS scale and socio-demographic data, information about the relationship with the care-recipient (i.e. spouse/ partner/other) was collected.
Short-form of the World Health Organization's quality of life: Whoqol-bref
The Whoqol-bref allows for a detailed assessment of each individual aspect of QoL. It has four domains: physical health, psychological, social relationship and environment. To provide a broad and comprehensive assessment, one item is taken from each of the 24 facets from the four domains: seven are related to physical health, six to psychological status, three to social support and eight to the environment domain of the patient. Raw scores from the questionnaire are converted into the transformed score with the help of a Table, to give what is considered to be the final score in that particular domain. As no cut-points exist to categorise QoL measured by Whoqol-bref, the final score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better QoL. The subscales of the Whoqol-bref have been assessed
Statistical analysis
For all measures the higher the score the better LS or QoL. The analyses were performed among stroke survivors and family caregivers. To assess the effects of patients' socioeconomic factors and functional impairments on their LS a multiple regression model was used by retaining in the model only the factors associated with LS with p < 0.10. This model also included interaction terms between socioeconomic factors and functional impairments. A similar model was used to assess the effects of patients' socioeconomic factors and functional impairments on the family caregivers' LS. Finally, we evaluated the relationships between stroke survivors' LS and patients' QoL (measured with the 11 Newsqol dimensions) and family caregivers' QoL (measured with the four Whoqol-bref domains) by using also multiple regression model which yield regression coefficient (standard error) adjusting for sex, occupational status, impaired motor function, and impaired memory functions. A similar model was used to evaluate the relationships between family caregivers' LS and patients' QoL and family caregivers' QoL.
The participation rate was 94/374 = 25.1%. Comparisons between the socio-demographic characteristics (age, gender, nationality, commune of residence, number of admissions to hospital) of the study sample and of the general population showed no differences
Description of stroke survivors and family caregivers
Among the 94 patients (mean age 65.5 years), 32 had no caregivers (67.6 years), and 62 had a family caregiver (64.4 years). Mean LS of patients was 7.1/10, that of caregivers 7.2/10.
Based on extracted data from hospital medical records, the medical investigator had observed that the subtypes of the cerebrovascular disease represented 66.4% ischemic and 33.2% haemorrhagic. Arterial hypertension was the most frequent risk factor (80.8% vs. 75.3% haemorrhagic). More than 50% of the patients presented elocution troubles and nearly 80% had neurological deficits. Nearly 40% of the patients presented with a known dyslipidaemia, 22.7% suffered from diabetes, and 20.9% were obese
Quality of life of stroke patients (Newsqol dimensions) and family caregivers (Whoqol-bref domains)
Associations of stroke survivors' LS and family caregivers' LS with patients' socioeconomic factors and impaired motor and memory functions
Associations of stroke survivors' LS and family caregivers' LS with patients' Newsqol and family caregivers' Whoqol-bref
As Table
Family caregivers' LS was associated with patients' feelings and emotion dimensions (slopes 0.22 and 0.22, respectively). It was strongly linked with all caregivers' Whoqol-bref domains: social relationships (slope 0.68), psychological health (0.67), physical health (0.64), and environment (0.53).
This study demonstrated that, two years after cerebrovascular disease onset, survivors' life satisfaction was higher among women and lower among patients at home with no occupation (compared with retired people) and that family caregivers' life satisfaction was affected by caring for patients with impaired memory function. It further showed that patients' life satisfaction positively correlated with the five following Newsqol dimensions: feelings, sleep, emotion, cognition and pain, but did not correlate with any caregivers' Whoqol-bref domain. Family caregivers' life satisfaction was associated with patients' feelings and emotion dimensions only. It was strongly linked with the four caregivers' Whoqol-bref domains (physical health, psychological health, environment, and social relationships). Many patients suffered from impaired sensory function (44.7%), motor function (35.1%) and memory function (31.9%).
The main finding of our study at home is the similarity of associations of both patients' LS and family caregivers' LS with feelings and emotion stroke-related Newsqol dimensions. This suggests that strong psychological repercussions may be generated for both patients and family caregivers. If we intervene at the level of the determinants of QoL of patients, we would improve their satisfaction with regard to life. Using Newsqol revealed strong associations between four dimensions of pain, cognition, sleep and fatigue due to the stroke, and patients' LS. This is of interest and not previously reported (in terms of stroke-specific QoL measures). Consequently, physical and psychological suffering as a repercussion of cerebrovascular disease needs to be assessed. The Newsqol appeared here as an appropriate tool to produce useful indicators to be considered in programs for stroke patients with disabilities
Our study revealed relationships of patients' LS with occupational status and gender which also deserve attention. Gender may include both gender social role and sex (biological meaning). We observed that patients with no occupational activity had lower LS. Having a job was linked with moderate LS and retired people had the best LS. We have no definitive explanation for these findings, but some hypotheses arise. First, unlike people at home with no activity and despite their handicap, retired patients may have less stress or unhappiness and may maintain a social position/identity, which is based not only on age and social characteristics but also on individual's sense of self
We found that caregivers of patients suffering from impaired memory had lower LS. This may reflect the repercussions of caring for patients with difficulties related to memory loss. Most neurological impairments concerned sensory and memory functions, but more survivors issued from our sample with a caregiver declared sensory and memory-related problems, and two or more domains impaired. Family caregivers had to cope with physical disabilities, but also psychological problems, making some of them exhausted. Home-based rehabilitation requires stroke patients and their caregivers to find new ways, within their families, to solve problems, communicate and deal emotionally with others. Individual or community interventions should redefine their resulting needs
We further found that, in accord with previous studies
Contextualising our findings poses a challenge for a number of reasons, in particular the economic situation (as regards Luxembourg's gross domestic product per inhabitant), and the fact that Luxembourg is one of the smallest European countries (524.853 inhabitants (January 2012) area 2600 km2 ) and small distances between the population and the health systems. The care structures are thus geographically accessible for the whole population. The socio-demographic characteristics of the study patients (53.6% had an income of more than 36,000€ and 74.5% were of Luxembourgish nationality) also suggest that social and medical supports focussed on community professional-oriented services are easily available. Difficulties associated with maintaining inner-city medical practices
Strengths and limitations
Among stroke patients, aphasic patients were also included in the study sample with appropriate training for researcher to communicate with them and specific interview protocol. As in the European survey the LS assessment was based on one question easy to routinely use. QoL was measured using two internationally accepted instruments: on the one hand, the Newsqol to measure specific issues of patients; and on the other hand, the Whoqol which is a good transcultural instrument appropriate for caregivers. Studying two-year post cerebrovascular disease is an opportunity to provide valuable information on patient-caregiver monitoring over time. Certain pathology may mimic stroke
Practical implications
Our study highlights that LS and QoL assessments are simple and may be used to identify cerebrovascular disease patients at risk and adverse health issues that may be targets for interventions in order to sustain long-term hospital discharged medical care. Home-based rehabilitation would improve in sustainability if patients and caregivers could benefit from a follow-up with assessment of medical, material, psychosocial, and information needs
Two years after stroke onset, a great proportion of cerebrovascular disease patients suffered from impaired sensory function (44.7%), motor function (35.1%) and memory function (31.9%). Life satisfaction was better among women and worse among unemployed socioeconomically active patients. Among survivors, life satisfaction was worse in those suffering from feeling, sleep, emotion, cognition and pain issues, but did not correlate with caregivers' quality of life. Among family caregivers, life satisfaction was worse in those with patients suffering from issues of feeling (less independent, yourself, life changed, depressed, useless, less control because of stroke) and emotion (get more emotional, fear of another stroke or to become dependent on others); it was associated with all caregivers' Whoqol-bref domains (physical health, psychological health, environment, and social relationships).The life satisfaction measure, Newsqol, and Whoqol appeared to be good appropriate tools. Our findings may be useful for policy makers about family and medical-social issues of stroke home-based rehabilitation over time.

Return to Fiction by Valesta
At the Hakurei Shrine, on the morning of the day before the fateful night, Reimu Hakurei wakes up in her futon, sweaty from the summer heat, muttering to herself, "Tonight is gonna be the night of THAT moon… Can hardly wait… Maybe I'll sleep a little longer…" Intending to go back to sleep, Reimu rolls over, but hits something soft, "Shit… don't tell me…" With a feeling of déjà vu from the couple times Marisa Kirisame had snuck into bed with her a few months ago, she takes a deep breath, then demands, "Why are you in bed with me THIS time, Marisa?"
"Hooya callin' Mareesah, Raymoo?" A drunken slurred voice comes from the other occupant of the futon, but it's not Marisa's. The other girl in bed is a young-looking youkai girl with long orange hair, brown eyes, and, most distinguishingly, two long horns extending out of her head. She wears a kiddy-sized version of Reimu's regular miko uniform.
Reimu sighs, "Oh, it's you, Suika. I should've figured as much. So why are YOU in bed with me?"
The youkai girl, an oni, one of the last believed to exist in Gensokyo, named Suika Ibuki, answers, "Dunno. Feld like it…" No one would have guessed it, but about a month before, Suika, using her ability to affect people's moods, caused people around Gensokyo to repeatedly have feasts in an attempt to attract other oni. However, she was defeated by Reimu, Marisa, and Alice Margatroid. Afterward, she was taken in by Reimu to become her first and only miko apprentice. However, all she mostly does is freeload off Reimu, but seeing as she's the only person in Gensokyo to show even a remote interest in becoming a miko, Reimu has no choice but to train her and hope she takes her lessons seriously one day. Suika always carries a gourd around, which contains an endless amount of sake, which she frequently drinks out of, thus she is constantly under the effects of alcohol. She is usually tipsy, if not outright hammered. The only way Reimu has been able to see Suika sober is by hiding her gourd, but that's usually not worth it as Suika is surprisingly good at finding things and the gourd extremely heavy, and Suika, possessing monstrous physical strength is the only one who can easily carry it around. Other than the ability to manipulate the moods of others, she can control her density, becoming very large at times, or becoming several smaller versions of herself, and even turning into mist. Other than that, she can create small black holes. She is among Gensokyo's oldest and most powerful youkai, and thus, is friends with Yukari Yakumo.
"Just because you feel like it, Suika, doesn't mean you can sneak into other people's beds without permission…" Reimu notices that Suika is wearing her miko uniform, "… and why are you sleeping in that? Don't disrespect those clothes like that!"
"But yoo sleep in yer's all de tyme…"
"Well, yeah, but…"
Suika, hung over, puts her hand against her forehead, "Ugh… I don't feel soo good…" She picks up the gourd, lying alongside the futon, "Well, nutin' a liddle sahkay can't ficks…" She chugs down several mouthfuls of sake. "Ugh…" She suddenly drops the gourd.
Reimu has a good idea of what's about to happen next, "No Suika! Not on the…!"
"BLUUUURRRGGGHHHH!" Suika vomits on the futon's covers.
"Aw shit!"
Suika apologizes, "I'm soree, Raymoo… I'll wash de footun..."
"Don't bother…" says Reimu, staring at the pile of vomit, "How about you just… I dunno… burn it…"
"Okay!" responds Suika cheerily.
"That wasn't meant to be taken seriously…"
They wash the futon and Reimu gets dressed. Suika asks, "So… whut are wee gonna do tooday?"
"Nothing until this evening, which by the way, isn't happening until 10:30 tonight. We are going to see the full moon."
Suika recalls Reimu mentioning those plans the day before, "Oh yeh. Weeth Mareesah, Reenoskay, Cheerno, and Aliss, rite?"
"That's right!"
"I lyke dat fol moon! Grait ta drink to!"
"Whatever you say, Suika…"
Later that day, Reimu and Suika, changed into a pink shirt and purple skirt, complete with chains, fly over to the summit of a nearby mountain, which provides a great view of the sky all around. Marisa Kirisame, Alice Margatroid, Cirno, and Rinnosuke Morichika are already there. Marisa yells, "You guys are late, but then again, the moon isn't up yet…"
"Sorry," says Reimu, "But hey, better late than never, right?"
Cirno complains, "Why does this have to be during the summer? It's so damn hot! The full moon during the winter would be much better…"
"Deal with it," says Alice, "complaining about it won't change the facts…"
Rinnosuke, sitting against a tree, facing away from where the mood is supposed to rise, examining a mysterious gadget, says, "Well, the fairy has a point. It's hard to focus on this stuff…"
Alice, whose previous infatuation with Rinnosuke had diminished over the months, asks Rinnosuke, "Why are you sitting there, looking at that thing anyway? The moon is supposed to rise over here!"
Marisa says, "Let Kourin do what he wants, Alice. The moon ain't going anywhere."
Alice, who had become more reserved around Marisa, on the other hand, responds, "That's true…"
Cirno, recalling something from a week ago, asks Alice, "Hey, how'd I do on my test?" Alice had recently become Cirno's teacher, but has not had a lot of luck in getting her to learn.
Alice pulls a piece of paper out of her pocket and hands it to Cirno, "See for yourself…"
Cirno looks at the paper, a multiple choice test sheet covering various subjects, and looks at her score of 9, in the middle of a large red circle, "Dammit!"
Marisa shrugs and says, "And once again, Cirno scores JUST above being legally retarded!"
"That's not funny!" protests Cirno.
Reimu laughs, "You all seem to be getting along! Never a dull moment between you!"
Suika holds up her gourd, "I brawt us sum drinks! Who wawnts sum?"
Alice says, "You really should stop drinking that, Suika. Too much alcohol will potentially kill you someday."
Reimu says reluctantly, "Alice, she's been drinking out of that constantly for the thousands of years she's been alive. I don't think it's affecting her health at all… Her mental well-being on the other hand…"
Marisa rolls her eyes, "How can someone constantly drink the same thing all the time like that? The thought of it makes me sick!"
"Shaddup, Mareesah! Aneewon else?"
"I'll have some," volunteers Cirno.
"No, you may not!" yells Alice.
"…" Rinnosuke silently examines his gadget.
Suika gulps down a hefty amount of sake and says, "Well, eef yoo gyes don't wawnt anee, den it's ALL MYNE!"
Reimu shrugs, "It was 'all yours' to begin with…"
Reimu and Suika sit down with everyone else and the minutes fly by. The sun disappears behind the horizon.
"Cut the fucking suspense!" yells Marisa impatiently, "Show us the moon already!" Suddenly, like at Scarlet Devil Mansion and Hakugyokurou, the sky flashes and the incomplete red moon appears, "Wow! That was fast… Uhhh…"
Reimu notices something glowing inside her shirt, "Huh? My amulet? It's supposed to protect me from supernatural forces, but…" She looks at the incomplete moon, "That's not right… but…"
Alice says to Cirno, "Pop quiz, Cirno: Who is the single greatest most beautiful, omnipotent, and all-around important being in Gensokyo?"
Cirno confidently answers, "You really think I'm that stupid, don't you? It can't be anyone except the one and only Princess Kaguya Houraisan!"
"CORRECT! You get your first 100%!"
"What the hell are you guys talking about?" asks Reimu, Wait! Could it have something to do with that moon, but what's the significance of that?
Suika, in a clear voice, says to Reimu, "How could you possibly NOT know what they are talking about, Reimu? It's KAGUYA they are talking about! She's the best thing since the discovery of sake!"
Reimu stands up and takes a step back, "Suika? Are you feeling okay?"
"AARGGHHHHHH!" Slumped on her knees, Marisa clutches her head tightly.
Reimu runs over to the anguished Marisa, "Marisa? Marisa!"
Sweating heavily, but recovering, Marisa says, "I'm… okay… it didn't work on me…"
"Looks like it came in handy… That book I sto_ er… borrowed from Patchouli… There are some magical forces that can take control of a person's mental state. It taught me how to resist such a force. Never thought I'd be in a case where I needed it though…"
"I see…" To confirm her relief, Reimu asks, "Do you know who 'Kaguya Houraisan' is?"
"Not a single clue, but it looks like those three suckers do… Wait… three… Kourin!"
"I'm perfectly fine," says Rinnosuke, from behind the tree.
Reimu and Marisa walk over to him. "Thank goodness…" says Reimu, "Do you have an item or ability to resist whatever is going on too?"
Marisa observes Rinnosuke's location to where Alice, Suika, and Cirno are singing Kaguya's praises, "There was the red incomplete moon, and then everyone started acting weird at the same time. It almost happened to me too. The moon's light must be causing it and Rinnosuke is in the shade."
Rinnosuke looks around him, "I guess so. I guess I shouldn't move from this spot…"
"That's a good idea," says Marisa.
Reimu says, "First that mist, then that winter, then those feasts, and now this… Well, let's do it. A youkai may be it work here and we must straighten it out."
"But where do we start?" asks Marisa.
"Well…" There is a long pause, "I have NO clue…"
Out of nowhere, a familiar voice asks, "Rinnosuke? Rinnosuke? Are you here? Oh… Don't tell me you've been affected to?" The blindfolded Yukari pokes her head out of newly formed portal.
Rinnosuke says, "You know me well, Miss Yakumo. That I'm always here on this night. Kaguya sure is great, isn't she?"
"Dammit!" moans Yukari in dismay.
"Just kidding," laughs Rinnosuke, "I don't even know who that is. I'm aware of what's going on and I'm in the shade, unaffected."
Yukari sighs in relief, "That's not funny, Mr. Morichika. At any rate, so you know where the miko, Reimu Hakurei is by any chance? She's not at her shrine and…"
"I'm right here," says Reimu, "and no, I'm not under that weird moon's effects. Do you have any clue of just what the hell is going on here? What is that moon?"
Yukari sighs with relief, "That saves me some trouble…"
"I'm here too, also unaffected," says Marisa.
"Oh. You too? Great then. I was hoping this would happen. Yes, I have some information you may want to use."
"Great!" says Reimu, "Let's hear it, then!"
Yukari disappears into her portal, then emerges from another several feet up, "This should be a good height. Come up here!"
Marisa says, "Sit tight, Kourin. Everything will get better soon."
"Not much else I can do," says Rinnosuke.
Marisa grabs her broomstick from nearby. She and Reimu rise up to Yukari's altitude. Yukari's portal expands in circumference, "Hop in. There's something you might want to see."
"…" Reimu and Marisa enter Yukari's portal. They emerge above a mountain overlooking a city in Japan at night. The skyscrapers are illuminated and the sound of traffic can be heard in the distance.
"What the hell IS this place?" asks Marisa.
Yukari, removing her blindfold, says, "Never mind that. Look at the moon."
Reimu and Marisa look at the moon. It is completely full and emanating silver light. Reimu points out, "The moon is full here… and I don't feel any energies coming from it like the one from before…"
"Let's move on…" Yukari opens another portal. In the next place, there is a full moon. From there, they go to another place, same kind of moon. They go to a fourth place, hovering over a futuristic city. There, the moon is full as well, but it's crystal-colored. Reimu gets a chilling feeling from it. Finally, Yukari puts her blindfold back on and they return to where they were in Gensokyo, same strange moon, "So tell me. What have you noticed?"
Marisa says, "Those places where we were. They all had full moons, but what was with those places?"
Yukari answers, "Those were alternate realms to Gensokyo. This planet has countless alternate worlds, but one thing is the same for all of them…"
"The moon is always the same?" guesses Reimu.
"Exactly! Time may flow differently, civilization may differ, but no matter what, they all look at the same moon. So what does that tell you about the moon we are under right now?"
Marisa guesses, "It's fake and something was done with the real moon?"
"That sounds like the best answer," says Yukari, "and there is only one person I can think of who could possibly do something like that…"
"The very person everyone is talking about: Kaguya."
"What do you know about 'Kaguya?'" asks Reimu.
"That's not important. However, I do know where she resides."
Reimu's eyes widen, "Do tell!"
"In the southern area of Gensokyo, there is a large bamboo forest. In the middle of that, there is a castle, a very big one. You can't miss it. THAT'S where Kaguya resides."
Marisa looks southward, "Then that's where we gotta go."
"Yup. I've been to other places earlier and Sakuya Izayoi and Youmu Konpaku are headed there as well."
Reimu smiles, "They'll be a big help."
Yukari withdraws into her portal, "Well, have fun out there. Good luck getting the moon back. There's not much I can do like this after all…" With that, Yukari disappears into her portal.
"Well, let's not waste any time," says Reimu, "Let's get our moon and everyone's collective senses back."
Reimu and Marisa fly southward. Within a half hour, they see the forest in the distance. Marisa says, "I can't believe we've never been here before. Anyone would have noticed a castle that big…"
"But it's not like anything has happened around there," points out Reimu, "Out of society, out of acknowledgement."
"I guess s_" Suddenly, there is a buzzing sound coming from above, followed by two objects flying at high speed toward Reimu and Marisa. She dodges to the side. "Huh? Who just did that?"
Wriggle and Mystia descend from the sky. Reimu asks, "Who are you, youkai?"
Wriggle says, "It looks to us that you are headed to the bamboo forest. So what are you going to do there?"
Marisa answers, "To get rid of that moon that's been making people weird, speaking of which, why aren't the two of you acting the same way?"
Mystia answers, "Kaguya has allowed us to specifically be unaffected by that moon so we can consciously take care of would-be invaders, such as yourselves. By 5:00 tomorrow morning, that moon will permanently take its place in an unending night. Once we get that accomplished, we will have a new home in that castle!"
Reimu says, "So you two are in league with the one behind this? Get out of our way, or we will force our way through!"
"Try it!" challenges Wriggle, "You humans are not depriving us of our chance for a new home!" Wriggle extends her arm toward Reimu and Marisa. A small swarm of glowing insects materializes and flies toward them.
Marisa fires a laser, destroying most of the bugs, but one gets by and grazes her shoulder. It feels like she was just cut with a blade, "Tch. Not bad…"
"That was just a warm-up…" says Wriggle, drawing a spell card, "HERE'S the real deal! Firefly Sign!" The spell card glows at Wriggle tosses it toward the sky, "Heh. Comet on Earth!" The card bursts and several large glowing bugs appear, which haphazardly rocket toward the ground. Wriggle turns to Mystia, "Mystia!"
"Right away." Mystia spreads her arms and starts vocalizing a mysterious tune.
A tingling sensation fills Reimu and Marisa's heads, "Wh-what is this?"
Reimu looks up, "Huh?" The falling bugs start to multiply into a more impressive number.
Marisa draws a spell card, "Too easy! Magic Space!" The card turns into multi-colored energy, which flows into Marisa, who points her finger toward the rain of falling insects, "Asteroid Belt!" A magic circle materializes in front of her finger and countless large star-shaped projectiles emerge and spiral upward, intercepting and destroying the bugs, but some simply pass through some of the bugs, which fall, but harmlessly pass through Reimu and Marisa.
"What was that?" asks Reimu.
Marisa theorizes, "That song… My head felt funny, then we both started seeing those bugs multiply, right? Could that song be creating illusions?"
"That's right!" says Wriggle, "Mystia's songs will confuse you and make you see things that don't exist. Still, there is no way you can figure out the difference. All you can do is defend against my every move. That first card was nothing. Now then…" Wriggle draws another spell card as Mystia's song continues, "Butterfly Sign!" The card transforms into a magic circle in front of Wriggle, "Heh. Butterfly Storm!" Several butterflies fly out of the circle, which further multiply as a result of Mystia's song.
Recalling a number of Yuyuko's attacks from a few months ago, which also used butterflies, Reimu and Marisa back away with Wriggle's swarm pursuing them.
"No good," says Marisa, "It will take me some time to use that same spell card again and I have little else that will be effective… I gotta know exactly what I'm trying to hit, which is no good with illusions throwing me off!"
Reimu draws a spell card, "I'll give it a try! Spirit Sign!" The card split into several fragments, which turn to balls of multi-colored energy, "Spirit Orb!" The orbs fly into the swarm. Some tear through the butterflies, but others pass through.
Wriggle laughs, "To me, this is so funny! I don't see illusions, so it looks like you're shooting at empty air!"
Marisa growls, "Fuck this! I'll deal with part of our problem at its source…" Marisa draws another spell card, "Love Sign!" Golden energy flows into her as she directs her hand toward Mystia, "Master Spark!" Marisa fires her massive laser, which quickly closes in on Mystia, who stops singing out of surprise. The illusory butterflies vanish and Reimu directs her remaining orbs to take out the real insects.
"Ah! Mystia!" Wriggle dashes in the path of the Master Spark and raises her arms in defense as it slams into her, "AARRRGGHHHHH!"
Mystia calls out, "Wriggle!"
Marisa's attack ends. Severely weakened, Wriggle says, "I've about had it. It's up to you now, Mystia… A home in Eientei… Remember that…"
Wriggle backs away to recover.
Mystia spreads her arms and long claws extend from her fingers, "It's my turn now! This time, I will not take you lightly…" She draws a spell card, "Night-Blindness!" The card turns black, "Song of the Night Sparrow!" Everything around Reimu and Marisa turns darker and darker until they are the only ones hovering in a black void.
Reimu looks around, "Wh-what the hell? What did she do?"
Mystia taunts, "Hard to see, isn't it? This is my best technique. That which is unseen is unpredictable…"
Suddenly, after a brief pause, claws tear through Reimu's back and Marisa's left arm, "Augh!"
"Tch." Reimu randomly tosses needles in various directions, hoping to hit Mystia, but has no luck.
Mystia crows, the direction of her voice constantly on the move "You fool! That won't work!"
Reimu grits her teeth, "Dammit! She's not holding still, so I can't find her location!"
Wriggle yells to Mystia, "Stop playing with them! Finish them off now!"
"Good idea," says Mystia, "No point in wasting time…"
Marisa chuckles, "Hmhmhm…"
"Huh? What's so funny?"
"You idiot! Against MY spell, I don't even NEED to see you!" Marisa draws a spell card, "Check it out! Love Sign!" A golden aura surrounds Marisa and Reimu, "Non-Directional Laser!" Several lasers shoot out from outside the aura and move around.
"AAARRGGGHHHHH!" Mystia screams as the darkness clears. One of Marisa's lasers had run across her lower chest, creating a large burn, "Ugh… Damn it…"
Wiggle cries, "Mystia!"
Mystia stutters, "I… I won't…"
"I think you've had enough," says Marisa.
"No I haven't…" replies Mystia, "We will keep going…"
"Fine then," says Marisa casually as she draws another spell card. She declares, "Love Si_"
Wriggle and Mystia scream, "Okay! Okay! You win! No more, please!"
"A good answer. Well then, time to move on. You've wasted enough of our time." Marisa flies ahead.
Reimu says, "Good luck in finding a home! Just make sure it doesn't mean crossing us, okay?" Reimu follows Marisa.
"DAMMIT!" screams Wriggle in dismay, "We underestimated them… We underestimated this WHOLE situation! How could we have been so careless?"
"It's my fault," says Mystia, "I didn't think it was possible for anyone resistant to figure out the source of the situation within the six-hour time frame and look what happened!"
"Still, maybe Rumia is having better luck. We may still have a chance… Otherwise the search continues… We still have each other, right?"
"I guess you have a point. This is just another setback in our journey. We'll find a place to call home yet!"
Reimu and Marisa quickly approach the bamboo forest.
Reimu thinks to herself, We're almost there! I don't know what manner of youkai has control over the moon, but regardless, this won't go on much longer!
Marisa says, "I'd say we have five hours or less to find the source and do something about it. It will be tight…"

Senex Energy Limited has moved to protect the company's oil revenues by securing a floor price for oil sales from January to June 2015.
The protection has been put in place through a combination of put options and zero cost collars. These facilities have the effect of guaranteeing an average Brent crude floor price of A$68 per barrel for 720,000 barrels of oil sales in the six month period.
The collars establish a ceiling Brent crude price of A$84 for 460,000 barrels of oil sales in that period, with sales in the three months to the end of March 2015 constituting over 70% of the volume subject to the ceiling price.
As announced on 10 December 2014, Senex is in the process of reviewing its spend for the remainder of FY15, and has already enacted measures to reduce discretionary expenditure and to high-grade future capital investments.

Flat cat
In Robert A. Heinlein's science fiction novel The Rolling Stones,[1] flat cats are a species of Martian animal.
Description and origin[edit]
In the chapter "Free Enterprise", the character Mr. Angelo, a shopkeeper on Mars, introduces Castor and Pollux Stone to a flat cat:
Angelo tickled it with a forefinger; it began to purr like a high-pitched buzzer. It had no discernible features, being merely a pie-shaped mass of sleek red fur a little darker than Castor's own hair. "They're affectionate little things and many of the sand rats keep them for pets - a man has to have someone to talk to when he's out prospecting and a flat cat is better than a wife because it can't talk back. It just purrs and snuggles up to you."
The boys take the flat cat onto the family space ship, where it soon has eight "kittens", each of which soon gives birth again, until the ship is overwhelmed with flat cats. The family solves the problem by rounding up the flat cats and putting them into the storage hold at low temperature, where they hibernate. They are later revived and sold to miners in the asteroid belt.
Heinlein's flat cats are often said to have been the inspiration for the tribbles of the Star Trek episode "The Trouble with Tribbles". (Heinlein himself said he may have gotten the idea from Ellis Parker Butler's 1905 story "Pigs Is Pigs".) David Gerrold, the author of the episode, claims that he had read the Heinlein book years before writing his screenplay and was not consciously aware of the similarities until Desilu/Paramount conducted a routine studio clearances review following an inquiry by Kellam de Forest, its primary in-house researcher. This prompted a contact with Heinlein who admitted the similarities but also graciously waived all rights, Heinlein asking only for an autographed copy of the script.[2]

I got married in 2005, my parents did not have money to help with the wedding to much and my in laws had only a bit set aside and much of that was used for them to get to the wedding from out of the country. DB helped us every step of the way. I must say as a child seeing her at weddings I was scared of her, but after my own wedding, and after the weddings of some of my siblings I'm only in awe! When she is firm with ppl. it is because she needs to be in order to make the wedding run smoothly! DB THANK YOU!
I have learned from personal experience that the admin of KSCVK are honest....to say the least, and they are loving, caring and desiring to make a difference with what they do.
Previous Stories
before our first child (daughter)became engaged, we discovered that we were victims of a scam involving all the money we had saved towards our children's wedding/s. Devorah found out about it (since we live in the same neighborhood) and contacted me. She helped us out with all necessary expenses which we could not deal with at that point. We did give her money back at a later date, but she did not expect that, and was willing to help us in any way she could. She saved us in our situation, we didnt know what else we would do
Keren Simchas Chosson V"kallah is an amazing organization. They help brides prepare for their wedding day so they will be able to relax and get ready for the rest of their lives in a happy mind frame.
Previous Stories
Devorah is always helping someone at their wedding or before. When my sister in law was engaged, about a year and a half ago, she helped raise money to cover many expenses that she had for her wedding, and made her feel special by buying her things just for her that she needed as well. Thank you Devorah!
D.B. made my daughter's wedding a living H-ll. She was continually trying to get money out of me, and she knew I had none. Every couple of days my daughter would call me, weeping, because D.B. had told her that something else had to go - like flowers, music, etc. I can't agree that my role was client served. It was more like being shoved into a scam. Meanwhile, why are these young women being shoved into bad marriages?!!
Review from Guidestar
When we got married, 36 years ago, it was a "hole in the wall" affair, Crown Heights had no organization that offered a hall, flowers, band, caterer. I was deliriously happy with my husband but bereft of all the simchas choson v kallah I'd dreamed about. Now, everytime I go to one of KSCVK's weddings, I think Hashem and the Benjamins for the proper setting for these 2 jewels.
We had limited funds and this was our first wedding. In addition the wedding was in Brooklyn, we live in Pittsburgh. We were very anxious, which is not the way one should celebrate one's child's wedding. After sitting with Devora Benjamin at breakfast, we came away feeling completely comfortable that we can do this with joy and bottom line be able to afford such a milestone event in our child's life. We have more children after this and feel confident that she will be there to help us then as well. (entered by GreatNonprofits staff member on behalf of reviewer)
Our community and beyond knows that KSCVK is there to offer advice support, practical help both monetarily and emotionally because they recognize the challenges one faces in planning a wedding. They care about every detail involved because they see each person who comes to them as individuals with their own unique needs. (entered by GreatNonprofits staff of behalf of reviewer)
So many young people need a proper start in married life and have no family support. KSCVK is like the most supportive family, mentor, and best friend rolled into one! (entered by GreatNonprofits staff member on behalf of reviewer)
This wonderful organization helped and helps many many young couples, helps them to arrange and pay for their wedding and establish their first home. (entered by GreatNonprofits staff member on behalf of reviewer)
As a sales girl in a store I witnessed Devorah help an orphan bride purchase clothing for her wedding. (entered by GreatNonprofits staff member on behalf of reviewer)

Must Visit
Sri Ramanathaswamy Temple is one of the reasons for the popularity of Rameshwaram. It is not simply a temple, but a landmark in the history of the town, and this is perhaps the reason the temple is situated right in the center of Rameshwaram. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, and every year thousands of devotees pay a visit to the temple. The temple is also revered because it is one of the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines in the country. In these temples, Lord Shiva is revered in the form of a Jyotirlinga. His statue is not worshipped in these shrines.

Want to share your reaction with friends?
The temple has a very old history but the present structure is believed to have been built by the rulers of the Pandya Dynasty around 12th century. The art and architecture of the temple are marvels in themselves. But, the main reason the temple is visited by lakhs of devotees each year is because of its religious significance in Hinduism.

Or in 06/07 when they got spanked by Plymouth. The arrogance of the Hunter's this year has gotten in the way of winning another OHL title and trying to win a Memorial Cup.
They've made big trades before, 2005, 2009, 2012 come to mind. Had everything going in 2009, Cann looked good but gets concussed after the deadline. Had to rely on Borden after an abomination of games 1-3 from Cann. Don't know what they were supposed to do at that time.
Your last sentence makes no sense. We are in February so it hasn't cost them yet if at all. London hadn't lost for two months and the deadline came and they got Mermis for nothing and Stolarz for nothing. Mermis looks like an offensive defenceman that London has needed for a long time. Stolarz is starting to look like the #1 goalie we've hoped for.
What trades were they supposed to make that would have lifted the arrogance from your mind? Were they supposed to trade a Welychka or Elie type who will be important parts for next year's run for a rental after going 60 days without losing a game? Maybe it's confidence.
Look around the league, Hunters haven't burned bridges like Rychel. The pompous ass thinks he can trade down in 2010 to draft his kid later on top of gettting another first rounder. We had to put up with Tucker and Garret Hunter being drafted in the 2nd and 5th rounds. Not even OHL level players.

ITCAM4Tx : robotic RRT T6 integration with RPT and ARM
Technote (FAQ)
Describe how the Robotic Response Time "T6" agent integrates with Rational Performance Tester (RPT) in order to playback RPT scripts, and produce response time and availability data in TEP portal.
RRT T6 agent launches RPT based script/test playback engine in a Java Virtual Machine JVM, and each unique RPT runtime version (associated to each script) will get a new JVM.
When tests/scripts are scheduled for playback, the scripts/tests get loaded into the JVM and go through the traditional playback process that would occur when a script is executed in RPT Workbench.
When the scripts/tests are getting played back, they report response time and availability data through ARM (Application Response Measurement) API calls and this data gets collected and processed by the RRT T6 agent.
The ARM calls for the scripts/tests are directly made by the RPT playback engine through various RPT plugins (core plugin as well as the individual script/test related plugins like Citrix, SAP, HTTP etc).
Once these response time and availability values are sent over, those get processed and persisted into the ITM "ODI" tables and gets presented through the TEP workspaces.

Just as in recent weeks, the Ravens appear to be much closer to full strength than their opponent.
Baltimore heads into this Sunday's game at the Kansas City with just two players on its injury report. Tackle Jah Reid (calf) is listed as questionable and wideout Torrey Smith (ankle) is listed as probable. Reid, who started 15 games last year, has yet to play this season.
Of course, linebacker Terrell Suggs remains out, and won't be eligible to return until the seventh contest of the year. But the Ravens continue to be fortunate when it comes to injuries.
Kansas City hasn't been so lucky.
The Chiefs have 10 players on their injury report, including three that are out: defensive end Glen Dorsey (calf), running back Peyton Hillis (ankle) and receiver Devon Wylie (hamstring).
Cornerback Jalil Brown (hamstring) is doubtful, as are linebacker Derrick Johnson (groin), safety Kendrick Lewis (shoulder) and defensive end Ropati Pitoitua (elbow).
Wide receiver Jon Baldwin (hamstring), cornerback Brandon Flowers (heel) and guard Ryan Lilja (back) are listed as probable.

By Howard Fendrich, AP Tennis Writer
Underlining the importance of protecting tennis' "appeal and integrity," the head of the men's professional tour promised Saturday to use "all means available" for an investigation into suspicious betting on a match involving No. 4-ranked Nikolay Davydenko.
Etienne de Villiers, the ATP's executive chairman, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press that "independent, external resources" would be used to look into why a British online gambling company received about $7 million in wagers on the match, 10 times the usual amount.
Most of the money was on No. 87 Martin Vassallo Arguello of Argentina to win - and some of those bets were placed after he lost the first set to Davydenko, a semifinalist at the French Open twice and at the U.S. Open last year.
The gambling company, Betfair, voided all bets on the second-round match on clay at Sopot, Poland. Davydenko wound up winning the second set, then retiring in the third with a left toe injury.
"It is important that we not jump to conclusions, especially when players' reputations could be unfairly tainted," de Villiers said. "What we must do is carry out a comprehensive and immediate investigation, and that is what we are doing."
Davydenko's agent, Eckhard Oehms, told the AP the Russian was "flabbergasted" when told about the suspicious betting.
"Neither Nikolay nor his coach nor me nor anybody out of our entourage has been involved in this," Oehms said in a telephone interview. "This is a matter that is important to us. We can't have his reputation" sullied.
Oehms said Davydenko flew Friday to Germany, where he received treatment on his foot in Cologne. He's to play in next week's tournament at Montreal.
The case is not the first of its kind in tennis, which has had at least two other instances of seemingly irregular betting in recent years - although no wrongdoing was found either time. It also comes in the wake of another gambling investigation: The FBI is looking into whether former NBA referee Tim Donaghy bet on games, including some he officiated. And European soccer had match-fixing scandals in recent years.
"All professional sport needs a level playing field in order to maintain its appeal and integrity. This is especially true for tennis, which is a one-on-one gladiatorial contest," de Villiers said. "The ATP, and all involved with tennis, therefore treat any form of corruption extraordinarily seriously."
ATP rules say players and their "support personnel" can't bet on any amateur or professional tennis matches. They also are not allowed to, "directly or indirectly, solicit, induce, entice, persuade, encourage or facilitate any other person to wager on the outcome or any other aspect of any event."
Under the ATP's anti-corruption system set up in 2003, players can be fined $100,000 and be barred permanently from playing in tour events. No player has been sanctioned under that program, ATP spokesman Kris Dent said.
Since 2003, the ATP has an arrangement with Betfair and the European Sports Security Association, which covers 10 online gambling companies, to get information on what are believed to be irregular patterns of gambling.
That year, betting was suspended hours before a match in Lyon, France, between former No. 1 Yevgeny Kafelnikov of Russia and Fernando Vicente of Spain after a big wager was put on Vicente, who had lost 12 matches in a row. Vicente beat Kafelnikov in straight sets.
During Wimbledon last year, Betfair reported irregular wagering on a first-round match between wild card Richard Bloomfield of Britain and Carlos Berlocq of Argentina. Berlocq was ranked 170 places higher, but most bets were on him to lose - and he did, in straight sets. The International Tennis Federation, which oversees Grand Slam tournaments, investigated but found nothing illicit.
"We are opposed to any kind of gambling by players. Obviously, this is a very serious - but as yet unproven - allegation," ITF executive vice president Juan Margets said, when asked about the current case. "If there's anything we could do to help the ATP find out the truth, we would."
Associated Press Writer Ryan Lucas in Warsaw, Poland, contributed to this report.

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
According to the Inside AdWords blog, Google has introduced two new enhancements to site targeting on their content network.
The changes allow for specific placement targeting on sites and the service now offers a CPC (cost per click) pricing model.
Until now, Google advertisers have been restricted to simply selecting the site they want theirs ads to appear on through the site targeting option. The renamed "Placement Targeting" service now allows advertisers to specify areas within a website for their ad placement and which types of AdWords ad to use.
According to the release post:
"Now, advertisers can target not only websites but also precise subsections of sites, such as the football pages of a news site, the show times section of a movie site, and even a specific ad unit (a block of Google ads) on a particular webpage."
The new Cost per Click (CPC) pricing model will also be a welcome enhancement to the service, with advertisers better able to control their spending on the content network.
Where the content network has often been a great way to target immense amounts of traffic, the new changes will hopefully allow advertisers to get more qualified traffic and better ROI on their online advertising.

text: In addition to the week's regular offerings, Tuesday will see an auction of 2-year notes, followed Wednesday by an auction of 5-year notes. Thursday will bring an auction of 7-year notes. "That's where a lot of pressure in the bond market will come from," he says. Suskind says he'll be on the lookout for comments from Fed officials, as several regional bank presidents will offer remarks during the week. Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart will speak twice on Monday, followed Tuesday by Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser and San Francisco Fed chief Janet Yellen, who is in the running to replace Donald Kohn as the Fed's vice chair. On Wednesday, Kansas City Fed President Thomas Hoenig -- the lone dissenting vote when the Federal Open Market Committee left the fed funds target rate unchanged at the January meeting -- will offer remarks on the financial foundation for Main Street. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will appear Thursday before the House Financial Services Committee to speak about exit strategy. Bernanke had been scheduled to appear on Capital Hill on Feb. 10, although the hearing was delayed due to inclement weather. Cleveland Fed President Sandra Pianalto will also speak Thursday, followed Friday by Fed Governors Kevin Warsh and Daniel Tarullo. Market participants will be on high alert for any change to the Fed's discount window rate, which is the rate the central bank charges on direct loans to banks. Rumors of a discount rate hike, which would be the second in as many months, put pressure on the stock market Thursday but also lent support to the dollar. -- Written by Robert Holmes in Boston.

If you use your kitchen as much as I use mine, chances are the one thing you wish you had more of is counter and storage space. Don't get me wrong, my kitchen is a very good size and it is certainly an upgrade from my last one, but for some reason, when I get cooking, I never seem to have enough room to work with. Because of this, I've considered adding a portable island to my kitchen. I think it would be the perfect solution to my problem and the finishing touch I have been looking for.
While I'm not sure when I will get my hands on an island, or if it will be store-bought or homemade, I know there's plenty of inspiration out there that I can use to plan for my future addition. Take the amazing unit below, built by Imgur poster timmm3000. He managed to turn a collection of old pallets into the perfect kitchen island that not only serves as an extra bit of counter space, but also as storage! To see how he did it, check out the tutorial below.

It has been noted, perhaps most famously by Henry Adams, that good educators affect eternity in that the success of their graduates can, at least in some way, be attributed to their efforts.
I know this to be true, particularly since becoming president of an institution with more than a quarter of a million alumni. By sheer numbers alone, no matter where I am in Orange County, I am always blessed to be around our graduates – whether it be a chance meeting at the grocery store or a planned retreat with the Alumni Board. And regardless of setting or circumstance, the first thing alumni want to discuss is the tremendous impact a certain professor had on their lives.
This passion underscores the ongoing and eternal role our faculty and staff play in the professional and personal success of our graduates. Evidence of this is widespread throughout Orange County, where the majority of our graduates work, and, by mid-career, earn a median salary that is $10,000 higher than the national average for graduates from public universities. While this speaks to both the "private good" our alumni experience and the "public good" they bring to Orange County, I was recently reminded of the tangible and transformative effect it has here on campus.
Every few weeks throughout the academic year, I host small group faculty meetings to get to know our diverse faculty members, discuss their passions and address their concerns. This past month, in one such meeting, nearly half of the faculty members shared an anecdote that spoke to the role they play not just for those who leave the university for a career in the private sector, but also those who come back for a career in higher education.
Case in point: Pamella Oliver, a first-generation college graduate who enrolled at Cal State Fullerton some 20 years ago to pursue her master's degree in psychology. Her faculty mentor, Allen Gottfried, encouraged her to reach beyond a master's degree and individualized her mentorship to suit her unique needs as a mother raising four children while going to school. After achieving her master's degree, Pamella was accepted into the University of Southern California's doctoral program in clinical psychology, an accomplishment she wholeheartedly attributes to professor Gottfried's mentorship. After earning her doctorate, Oliver returned to Cal State Fullerton in 2001 as a faculty member and proud colleague of her mentor, Gottfried, now an emeritus professor.
I also heard from Iris Blandón-Gitlin, associate professor of psychology, who came to Cal State Fullerton to work with, teach and mentor an increasingly diverse student body. Blandón-Gitlin, who was born in Nicaragua and is a first-generation college graduate, was proud to share that the second undergraduate she ever worked with in her lab at Cal State Fullerton recently returned to the university as a faculty member with a doctorate in psychology. Further, an upcoming publication in Consciousness and Cognition, an international journal in the field of psychology, was co-authored with four of Blandón-Gitlin's former undergrads, all of whom went on to achieve advanced degrees in their field and are pursuing careers in higher education.
And while these stories don't always begin at Cal State Fullerton, many of them take flight here. For example, from 2006 to 2008, Valerie Poynor was an undergraduate at Cal State Bakersfield under the mentorship of Sam Behseta. He noticed her promise, particularly in the area of statistical methods for the analysis of neuronal data; encouraged her to earn her Ph.D. and eventually published a paper with her in the Journal of Neuroscience Methods. In 2008, Behseta relocated to Cal State Fullerton, where he is now a full professor, and this fall, his former mentee, Poynor, joined him in our Mathematics Department, where she serves as an assistant professor.
Bear in mind, all of these stories and many others like them came from one small group faculty meeting. Imagine, then, the infinite others born from the inspirational work of our faculty and staff and the transformative paths they purvey for the next generation of Titan graduates on our campus, throughout Orange County and beyond.
They truly are affecting eternity, and for that, I will be forever grateful.
