Caught on the Ebb-Tide
by Edward Payson Roe
The August morning was bright and fair, but Herbert Scofield's brow was clouded. He had wandered off to a remote part of the grounds of a summer hotel on the Hudson, and seated in the shade of a tree, had lapsed into such deep thought that his cigar had gone out and the birds were becoming bold in the vicinity of his motionless figure.
It was his vacation time and he had come to the country ostensibly for rest. As the result, he found himself in the worst state of unrest that he had ever known. Minnie Madison, a young lady he had long admired, was the magnet that had drawn him hither. Her arrival had preceded his by several weeks; and she had smiled a little consciously when in looking at the hotel register late one afternoon his bold chirography met her eye.
"There are so many other places to which he might have gone," she murmured.
Her smile, however, was a doubtful one, not expressive of gladness and entire satisfaction. In mirthful, saucy fashion her thoughts ran on: "The time has come when he might have a respite from business. Does he still mean business by coming here? I'm not sure that I do, although the popular idea seems to be that a girl should have no vacation in the daily effort to find a husband. I continually disappoint the good people by insisting that the husband must find me. I have a presentiment that Mr. Scofield is looking for me; but there are some kinds of property which cannot be picked up and carried off, nolens volens, when found."
Scofield had been animated by no such clearly defined purpose as he was credited with when he sought the summer resort graced by Miss Madison. His action seemed to him tentative, his motive ill- defined even in his own consciousness, yet it had been strong enough to prevent any hesitancy. He knew he was weary from a long year's work. He purposed to rest and take life very leisurely, and he had mentally congratulated himself that he was doing a wise thing in securing proximity to Miss Madison. She had evoked his admiration in New York, excited more than a passing interest, but he felt that he did not know her very well. In the unconventional life now in prospect he could see her daily and permit his interest to be dissipated or deepened, as the case might be, while he remained, in the strictest sense of the world, uncommitted. It was a very prudent scheme and not a bad one. He reasoned justly: "This selecting a wife is no bagatelle. A man wishes to know something more about a woman than he can learn in a drawing-room or at a theatre party."
But now he was in trouble. He had been unable to maintain this judicial aspect. He had been made to understand at the outset that Miss Madison did not regard herself as a proper subject for deliberate investigation, and that she was not inclined to aid in his researches. So far from meeting him with engaging frankness and revealing her innermost soul for his inspection, he found her as elusive as only a woman of tact can be when so minded, even at a place where people meet daily. It was plain to him from the first that he was not the only man who favored her with admiring glances; and he soon discovered that young Merriweather and his friend Hackley had passed beyond the neutral ground of non- committal. He set himself the task of learning how far these suitors had progressed in her good graces; he would not be guilty of the folly of giving chase to a prize already virtually captured. This too had proved a failure. Clearly, would he know what Mr. Merriweather and Mr. Hackley were to Miss Madison he must acquire the power of mind reading. Each certainly appeared to be a very good friend of hers–a much better friend than he could claim to be, for in his case she maintained a certain unapproachableness which perplexed and nettled him.
After a week of rest, observation, and rather futile effort to secure a reasonable share of Miss Madison's society and attention, he became assured that he was making no progress whatever so far as she was concerned, but very decided progress in a condition of mind and heart anything but agreeable should the affair continue so one-sided. He had hoped to see her daily, and was not disappointed. He had intended to permit his mind to receive such impressions as he should choose; and now his mind asked no permission whatever, but without volition occupied itself with her image perpetually. He was not sure whether she satisfied his preconceived ideals of what a wife should be or not, for she maintained such a firm reticence in regard to herself that he could put his finger on no affinities. She left no doubt as to her intelligence, but beyond that she would not reveal herself to him. He was almost satisfied that she discouraged him utterly and that it would be wiser to depart before his feelings became more deeply involved. At any rate he had better do this or else make love in dead earnest. Which course should he adopt?
There came a day which brought him to a decision.
A party had been made up for an excursion into the Highlands, Miss Madison being one of the number. She was a good pedestrian and rarely missed a chance for a ramble among the hills. Scofield's two rivals occasionally got astray with her in the perplexing wood-roads, but he never succeeded in securing such good-fortune. On this occasion, as they approached a woodchopper's cottage (or rather, hovel), there were sounds of acute distress within–the piercing cries of a child evidently in great pain. There was a moment of hesitancy in the party, and then Miss Madison's graceful indifference vanished utterly. As she ran hastily to the cabin, Scofield felt that now probably was a chance for more than mere observation, and he kept beside her. An ugly cur sought to bar entrance; but his vigorous kick sent it howling away. She gave him a quick pleased look as they entered. A slatternly woman was trying to soothe a little boy, who at all her attempts only writhed and shrieked the more. "I dunno what ails the young one," she said. "I found him a moment ago yellin' at the foot of a tree. Suthin's the matter with his leg."
"Yes," cried Miss Madison, delicately feeling of the member–an operation which, even under her gentle touch, caused increased outcry, "it is evidently broken. Let me take him on my lap;" and Scofield saw that her face had softened into the tenderest pity.
"I will bring a surgeon at the earliest possible moment," exclaimed Scofield, turning to go.
Again she gave him an approving glance which warmed his heart. "The ice is broken between us now," he thought, as he broke through the group gathering at the open door.
Never before had he made such time down a mountain, for he had a certain kind of consciousness that he was not only going after the doctor, but also after the girl. Securing a stout horse and wagon at the hotel, he drove furiously for the surgeon, explained the urgency, and then, with the rural healer at his side, almost killed the horse in returning.
He found his two rivals at the cabin door, the rest of the party having gone on. Miss Madison came out quickly. An evanescent smile flitted across her face as she saw his kindled eyes and the reeking horse, which stood trembling and with bowed head. His ardor was a little dampened when she went directly to the poor beast and said, "This horse is a rather severe indictment against you, Mr. Scofield. There was need of haste, but–" and she paused significantly.
"Yes," added the doctor, springing out, "I never saw such driving! It's lucky our necks are not broken"
"You are all right, Doctor, and ready for your work," Scofield remarked brusquely. "As for the horse, I'll soon bring him around;" and he rapidly began to unhitch the over-driven animal.
"What are you going to do?" Miss Madison asked curiously.
"Rub him into as good shape as when he started."
She turned away to hide a smile as she thought, "He has waked up at last."
The boy was rendered unconscious, and his leg speedily put in the way of restoration. "He will do very well now if my directions are carried out strictly," the physician was saying when Scofield entered.
Mr. Merriweather and Mr. Hackley stood rather helplessly in the background and were evidently giving more thought to the fair nurse than to the patient. The mother was alternating between lamentations and invocations of good on the "young leddy's" head. Finding that he would come in for a share of the latter, Scofield retreated again. Miss Madison walked quietly out, and looking critically at the horse, remarked, "You have kept your word very well, Mr. Scofield. The poor creature does look much improved." She evidently intended to continue her walk with the two men in waiting, for she said demurely with an air of dismissal, "You will have the happy consciousness of having done a good deed this morning."
"Yes," replied Scofield, in significant undertone; "you, of all others, Miss Madison, know how inordinately happy I shall be in riding back to the village with the doctor."
She raised her eyebrows in a little well-feigned surprise at his words, then turned away.
During the remainder of the day he was unable to see her alone for a moment, or to obtain any further reason to believe that the ice was in reality broken between them. But his course was no longer noncommittal, even to the most careless observer. The other guests of the house smiled; and Mr. Merriweather and Mr. Hackley looked askance at one who threw their assiduous attentions quite into the shade. Miss Madison maintained her composure, was oblivious as far as possible, and sometimes when she could not appear blind, looked a little surprised and even offended.
He had determined to cast prudence and circumlocution to the winds. On the morning following the episode in the mountains he was waiting to meet her when she came down to breakfast. "I've seen that boy, Miss Madison, and he's doing well."
"What! so early? You are a very kind-hearted man, Mr. Scofield."
"About as they average. That you are kind-hearted I know–at least to every one except me–for I saw your expression as you examined the little fellow's injury yesterday. You thought only of the child–"
"I hope you did also, Mr. Scofield," she replied with an exasperating look of surprise.
"You know well I did not," he answered bluntly. "I thought it would be well worth while to have my leg broken if you would look at me in the same way."
"Truly, Mr. Scofield, I fear you are not as kind-hearted as I supposed you to be;" and then she turned to greet Mr. Merriweather.
"Won't you let me drive you up to see the boy?" interposed Scofield, boldly.
"I'm sorry, but I promised to go up with the doctor this morning."
And so affairs went on. He thought at times her color quickened a little when he approached suddenly; he fancied that he occasionally surprised a half-wistful, half-mirthful glance, but was not sure. He knew that she was as well aware of his intentions and wishes as if he had proclaimed them through a speaking- trumpet. His only assured ground of comfort was that neither Mr. Merriweather nor Mr. Hackley had yet won the coveted prize, though they evidently were receiving far greater opportunities to push their suit than he had been favored with.
At last his vacation was virtually at an end. But two more days would elapse before he must be at his desk again in the city. And now we will go back to the time when we found him that early morning brooding over his prospects, remote from observation. What should he do–propose by letter? "No," he said after much cogitation. "I can see that little affected look of surprise with which she would read my plain declaration of what she knows so well. Shall I force a private interview with her? The very word 'force,' which I have unconsciously used, teaches me the folly of this course. She doesn't care a rap for me, and I should have recognized the truth long ago. I'll go back to the hotel and act toward her precisely as she has acted toward me. I can then at least take back to town a little shred of dignity."
He appeared not to see her when she came down to breakfast. After the meal was over he sat on the piazza engrossed in the morning paper. An excursion party for the mountains was forming. He merely bowed politely as she passed him to join it, but he ground his teeth as he saw Merriweather and Hackley escorting her away. When they were out of sight he tossed the paper aside and went down to the river, purposing to row the fever out of his blood. He was already satisfied how difficult his tactics would be should he continue to see her, and he determined to be absent all day, to so tire himself out that exhaustion would bring early sleep on his return.
Weary and leaden-spirited enough he was, as late in the afternoon he made his way back, but firm in sudden resolve to depart on an early train in the morning and never voluntarily to see the obdurate lady of his affections again.
Just as the sun was about sinking he approached a small wooded island about half a mile from the boat-house, and was surprised to notice a rowboat high and dry upon the beach. "Some one has forgotten that the tide is going out," he thought, as he passed; but it was no affair of his.
A voice called faintly, "Mr. Scofield!"
He started at the familiar tones, and looked again. Surely that was Miss Madison standing by the prow of the stranded skiff! He knew well indeed it was she; and he put his boat about with an energy not in keeping with his former languid strokes. Then, recollecting himself, he became pale with the self-control he purposed to maintain, "She is in a scrape," he thought; "and calls upon me as she would upon any one else to get her out of it."
Weariness and discouragement inclined him to be somewhat reckless and brusque in his words and manner. Under the compulsion of circumstances she who would never graciously accord him opportunities must now be alone with him; but as a gentleman, he could not take advantage of her helplessness, to plead his cause, and he felt a sort of rage that he should be mocked with an apparent chance which was in fact no chance at all.
His boat stranded several yards from the shore. Throwing down his oars, he rose and faced her. Was it the last rays of the setting sun which made her face so rosy, or was it embarrassment?
"I'm in a dilemma, Mr. Scofield," Miss Madison began hesitatingly.
"And you would rather be in your boat," he added.
"That would not help me any, seeing where my boat is. I have done such a stupid thing! I stole away here to finish a book, and– well–I didn't notice that the tide was running out. I'm sure I don't know what I'm going to do."
Scofield put his shoulder to an oar and tried to push his craft to what deserved the name of shore, but could make little headway. He was glad to learn by the effort, however, that the black mud was not unfathomable in depth. Hastily reversing his action, he began pushing his boat back in the water.
"Surely, Mr. Scofield, you do not intend to leave me," began Miss Madison.
"Surely not," he replied; "but then, since you are so averse to my company, I must make sure that my boat does not become as fast as yours on this ebb-tide, otherwise we should both have to wait till the flood."
"Oh, beg pardon! I now understand. But how can you reach me?"
"Wade," he replied coolly, proceeding to take off his shoes and stockings.
"What! through that horrid black mud?"
"I couldn't leap that distance, Miss Madison."
"It's too bad! I'm so provoked with myself! The mud may be very deep, or there may be a quicksand or something."
"In which case I should merely disappear a little earlier;" and he sprang overboard up to his knees, dragged the boat till it was sufficiently fast in the ooze to be stationary, then he waded ashore.
"Well," she said with a little deprecatory laugh, "it's a comfort not to be alone on a desert island."
"Indeed! Can I be welcome under any circumstances?"
"Truly, Mr. Scofield, you know that you were never more welcome. It's very kind of you."
"Any man would be glad to come to your aid. It is merely your misfortune that I happen to be the one."
"I'm not sure that I regard it as a very great misfortune. You proved in the case of that little boy that you can act very energetically."
"And get lectured for my intemperate zeal. Well, Miss Madison, I cannot make a very pleasing spectacle with blackamoor legs, and it's time I put my superfluous energy to some use. Suppose you get in your boat, and I'll try to push it off"
She complied with a troubled look in her face. He pushed till the veins knotted on his forehead. At this she sprang out, exclaiming, "You'll burst a blood-vessel."
"That's only a phase of a ruptured heart, and you are used to such phenomena."
"It's too bad for you to talk in that way," she cried.
"It certainly is. I will now attend strictly to business."
"I don't see what you can do."
"Carry you out to my boat–that is all I can do."
"Oh, Mr. Scofield!"
"Can you suggest anything else?"
She looked dubiously at the intervening black mud, and was silent.
"I could go up to the hotel and bring Mr. Merriweather and Mr. Hackley."
She turned away to hide her tears.
"Or I could go after a brawny boatman; but delay is serious, for the tide is running out fast and the stretch of mud growing wider. Can you not imagine me Mike or Tim, or some fellow of that sort."
"No, I can't."
"Then perhaps you wish me to go for Mike or Tim?"
"But the tide is running out so fast, you said."
"Yes, and it will soon be dark."
"Oh, dear!" and there was distress in her tones.
He now said kindly, "Miss Madison, I wish that like Sir Walter Raleigh I had a mantle large enough for you to walk over. You can at least imagine that I am a gentleman, that you may soon be at the hotel, and no one ever be any the wiser that you had to choose between me and the deep–ah, well–mud."
"There is no reason for such an allusion, Mr. Scofield."
"Well, then, that you had no other choice."
"That's better. But how in the world can you manage it?"
"You will have to put your arm around my neck."
"You would put your arm around a post, wouldn't you?" he asked with more than his old brusqueness.
"Yes-s; but–"
"But the tide is going out. My own boat will soon be fast. Dinner will grow cold at the hotel, and you are only the longer in dispensing with me. You must consider the other dire alternatives."
"Ob, I forgot that you were in danger of losing a warm dinner."
"You know I have lost too much to think of that or much else. But there is no need of satire, Miss Madison. I will do whatever you wish. That truly is carte blanche enough even for this occasion."
"I didn't mean to be satirical. I–I–Well, have your own way."
"Not if you prefer some other way."
"You have shown that practically there isn't any other way. I'm sorry that my misfortune, or fault rather, should also be your misfortune. You don't know how heavy–"
"I soon will, and you must endure it all with such grace as you can. Put your arm round my neck, so–oh, that will never do! Well, you'll hold tight enough when I'm floundering in the mud."
Without further ado he picked her up, and started rapidly for his boat. Stepping on a smooth stone he nearly fell, and her arm did tighten decidedly.
"If you try to go so fast," she said, "you will fall."
"I was only seeking to shorten your ordeal, but for obvious reasons must go slowly;" and he began feeling his way.
"Mr. Scofield, am I not very heavy?" she asked softly.
"Not as heavy as my heart, and you know it."
"I'm sure I–"
"No, you are not to blame. Moths have scorched their wings before now, and will always continue to do so."
Her head rested slightly against his shoulder; her breath fanned his cheek; her eyes, soft and lustrous, sought his. But he looked away gloomy and defiant, and she felt his grasp tighten vise-like around her. "I shall not affect any concealment of the feelings which she has recognized so often, nor shall I ask any favors," he thought. "There," he said, as he placed her in his boat, "you are safe enough now. Now go aft while I push off."
When she was seated he exerted himself almost as greatly as before, and the boat gradually slid into the water. He sprang in and took the oars.
"Aren't you going to put on your shoes and stockings?"
"Certainly, when I put you ashore."
"Won't that be a pretty certain way of revealing the plight in which you found me?"
"Pardon my stupidity; I was preoccupied with the thought of relieving you from the society which you have hitherto avoided so successfully;" and bending over his shoes he tied them almost savagely.
There was a wonderful degree of mirth and tenderness in her eyes as she watched him. They had floated by a little point; and as he raised his head he saw a form which he recognized as Mr. Merriweather rowing toward them. "There comes one of your shadows," he said mockingly. "Be careful how you exchange boats when he comes along-side. I will give you no help in such a case."
She looked hastily over her shoulder at the approaching oarsman. "I think it will be safer to remain in your boat," she said.
"Oh, it will be entirely safe," he replied bitterly.
"Mr. Merriweather must have seen you carrying me."
"That's another thing which I can't help."
"Mr. Scofield," she began softly.
He arrested his oars, and turned wondering eyes to hers. They were sparkling with mirth as she continued, "Are you satisfied that a certain young woman whom you once watched very narrowly is entirely to your mind?"
He caught her mirthful glance and misunderstood her. With dignity he answered, "I'm not the first man who blundered to his cost, though probably it would have made no difference. You must do me the justice, however, to admit that I did not maintain the role of observer very long–that I wooed you so openly that every one was aware of my suit. Is it not a trifle cruel to taunt me after I had made such ample amends?"
"I was thinking of Mr. Merriweather–"
"Since he has seen me with my arm around your neck–you know I couldn't help it–perhaps he might row the other way if–if–well, if he saw you–what shall I say–sitting over here–by me–or– Somehow I don't feel very hungry, and I wouldn't mind spending another hour–"
Scofield nearly upset the boat in his precipitous effort to gain a seat beside her–and Mr. Merriweather did row another way.


text: Tony OrlandoThanks, Alan. Good morning, everyone. Let's begin with a quick summary of 2011. For those of you using the web deck, please turn to slide three. We executed on our plan and came in at the midpoint of our guidance. That's a very good performance in the midst of some market ups and downs. Compared to 2010, revenue was up 4%, adjusted EBITDA was up 5%, free cash flow was down 12% and adjusted EPS was up 24%. I am pleased with these financial results as well as our operating performance, and our disciplined capital allocation. However, I must say, I am not satisfied with the fact that our efforts have not yet rewarded our shareholders. I assure you, our management team is completely focused on the things we can do to create value and provide investors with transparency, so that you can more easily understand the value that we see in the business. For us, it all starts with world-class facility operations benefit our clients and the communities we serve. Our team is tireless in pursuing innovation that continues improvement. As a result, in 2011, we've recorded our best ever safety record and our highest boiler availability. That strong performance continued to fill confidence in our clients. That is evidenced by our numerous contract extensions, including several in the last couple of months. In addition, our newest clients Durham and York, in Ontario, demonstrated their confidence in Covanta last year, when they issued us the Notice to Proceed with construction of their showcase energy-from-waste facility. The combination of our long-term client relationship and our stellar operational performance supports continued earnings growth and predictable cash flow generation, which we're utilizing to deliver on our commitment to return capital to shareholders. We established a regular quarterly dividend and continued to actively repurchase stock. Since the program began in 2010, we have repurchased approximately 14% of the shares outstanding.

Between brown and black hair, which would look better. I know girls love guys with blue eyes and dark hair but what about Green eyes? I have green eyes and I dyed my hair brown because I think the texture and detail from my hair cuts are more visible where black is too dark to see it. But I notice that when I wash my face, since my eye brows get darker/look black (because they are wet obviously) , my eyes look a little brighter I'm guessing because of the contrast. So should I dye my hair black? Or keep it brown?
Most Helpful Girl
You could dye it black and your eyes will really pop. Im a natural redhead with green eyes but dyed my hair black (again) because I love how the green eyes pop. Its a cool and mysterious look.00|00|0
Yeah thats what I thought when eye brows looked blacked. My eyes looked brighter /popped like you said. So i thought I should dye my hair black.
Its a good idea. If you dont like it there are ways to change it.

With the Garden party for Christina's 60th in view we had had a good incentive to cultivate and stock up the garden. On the one hand we have decided to let this year's growing season progress and the previous owners' plantings unfold. But on the other hand there are plenty of gaps to fill.
With the coming of spring it was clear that there had been no bulbs lurking beneath. I emptied a few pots of Tete-a-Tete daffodils into the border and allowed other bulbs, including hyacinths, to flower in the pots they had overwintered in. All those hyacinths will find their way into the walled garden round the garage.
We came back from Scotland at the end of April to find that new garden finished and filled with soil. A first task was to lift the shrubs we had removed and heeled in temporarily, and replace them at the front. I also lifted one or two wrongly sited shrubs from the back garden to plant there, and added shade-lovers brought from 88, as well as the potted Wisteria which has been waiting in the wings and the Helleborus niger plants I kept in pots in the winter. The only plant which showed signs of stress was the Photinia but frequent watering seemed to arrest the rate of leaf drop.
My sowings of Tom Thumb tomatoes and Morning Glory germinated and were duly potted on. The Morning Glory went into large pots with a bushy white daisy and possibly went outdoors too soon, but they seem to be holding their own. The tomatoes went out in mid-May in assorted containers with French marigolds. A sowing of mixed salad leaves has provided several pickings and dwarf peas and dwarf beans have been planted out.
Our neighbour gave us a couple of pickings from her asparagus bed. This seems a sensible, low-maintenance crop for us to add to our small potagerie so we ordered some crowns from Suttons which went in, possibly a bit late, but they will be ready to harvest in 2013; you should not harvest in the first year.
I tidied round the small pond, yanking out grass clumps and filling the pond margin ground with suitable plants – sedge, Iris, Water avens, Water mint. In the two weeks leading up to our departure for St Vaast the weather in Dorset was very dry, prompting some watering of new plantings.
When we arrived at 104 we found our overgrown garden awaiting attention. And the identity of the mystery plants we found growing in our lawn in March was finally revealed……

Madame Curie and Her World.
By Rosalynd Pflaum.
Illustrated. 496 pp. New York:.
Doubleday. $22.50.
For those of us who, as impressionable adolescents, read Eve Curie's melodramatic portrait of her mother, the familiar images are here in Rosalynd Pflaum's new biography: the intense and humorless little Polish woman, dressed in black, laboring unprotected in a crude shed, stirring a ''poisonous sludge'' of pitchblende in a cast-iron caldron and breathing noxious radon gas as she probes the secrets of radioactivity. Ms. Pflaum's Marie Curie, however, though singular, is not heroic. Instead, she serves as the dominant figure in a half-century family saga that takes us from an innocent age when the secrets of the atom could be studied with disinterest (''disinterested'' was Marie's ''highest accolade'') through a world war and a cold war that drove atomic research under the cloak of secrecy it wears today.
Marie arrived in Paris from czarist Poland in the 1890's to study science at the Sorbonne. There she met and married Pierre Curie, a brilliant and innovative if quite unworldly physicist, who was to set aside his own work to help in his wife's ambitious quest. Their discoveries at the turn of the century helped overturn the orthodox view that the chemical elements were immutable and the atom indivisible, and so opened the atom to scientific scrutiny.
Marie's great ''leap of genius'' was to surmise that radioactivity (a word she coined) was an atomic property. The Curies' search for elements displaying this property led to their discovery of two new ones - polonium and radium. The work earned two Nobel Prizes, one shared and another to Marie alone.
Ms. Pflaum's narrative details the shifting social, political and scientific milieu of the Curie dynasty, from Pierre and Marie's time through that of their brilliant daughter and son-in-law, Irene and Frederic Joliot. Great figures of European science move through the tale as family friends or rivals.
At one level, this is a tale of the unfolding of nuclear physics: Einstein's famous equation on the conversion of mass to energy; the discovery of the subatomic particles; Irene and Fred's own Nobel Prize-winning discovery of artificial radioactivity, which led to the creation of thousands of new radioactive isotopes; and finally, the unlocking of the fission reaction.
Yet Ms. Pflaum also tells a very human tale of a family that for two generations suffered repeated slights at the hands of an elitist French scientific hierarchy that continued to view them as outsiders, even as they helped to change the face of modern science. These were pioneers who, even when the dangers of radiation began to be suspected, remained inexplicably cavalier and eventually died as a result of their exposures.
The seemingly miraculous impact of radium treatments for cancer (known then as Curietherapy) made Pierre and Marie ''the first scientists after Roentgen [the discoverer of X-rays] to experience popular acclaim and publicity on so vast a scale.'' Marie, on two triumphal trips to America, made profitable use of her celebrity status to raise funds for the Radium Institute. But she was horrified by the fickleness of public opinion. Ms. Pflaum shows the ''illustrious widow,'' just as her second Nobel Prize is announced in 1911, stunned by newspaper headlines accusing her of home-wrecking. The sensational charge set off a spate of well-publicized duels, including a pistol standoff in a bicycle stadium between a muckraking editor and the great physicist Paul Langevin (Marie's reputed lover). These were episodes that Marie's younger daughter Eve (a musician and journalist) referred to only obliquely in the 1937 biography of her mother.
Rosalynd Pflaum is a thorough chronicler who presents all the evidence without forcing conclusions. Letters written by Pierre and Marie just before he died beneath the wheels of a horse-drawn dray - letters that may help answer still extant rumors of suicide - remain sealed. The extent of Marie's intimacy with Langevin may never be known. Likewise, Frederic Joliot's motivation for his uncritical embrace of Communism and Stalin will never be clear.
World War II isolated the Joliots in Nazi-occupied France and brought a halt to the French lead in nuclear energy. Under Fred's postwar leadership, French scientists were able to bring their first nuclear reactor on line in 1948, ending the British-American monopoly. But as the arms race heated up, the Western powers grew increasingly uncomfortable with an outspoken Communist heading the French Atomic Energy Commission. Ms. Pflaum concludes the saga with Fred's ouster in 1950, an event that ended not only his own research but also the Curie family's half-century domination of the field.

Grouping JotformsAsked by a2034487 on October 20, 2014 at 10:50 AM
Hi everyone,
I'm searching for a way to group forms together. So in stead of a long list of forms, somehow cluster them together in logical units.
Is something like that already available in Jotform ?

"The magnets turned out even better than I expected. All the pictures looked really good with the chevron background and I received so many compliments."
"I loved having the ability to choose up to 4 photos since we took so many for our engagement shoot, yet they were organized in a way they still made it look simple and tasteful! Being able to choose colors that matched was great, as well as writing a detailed message on the back! Also, saving on postcard postage was definitely a huge plus!!!"
"I love that I was able to put on my engagement photos and arrange them how I wanted. It added a personal touch to the card, along with going with the nautical theme of our wedding. I think the card being a postcard is super cute! Saves me some money instead of buying envelopes! Overall, I enjoyed the whole card and I am so incredibly happy with the product!"
"I designed my save the dates for my south Carolina wedding and ordered them. The cane a lot sooner than exaoected and were wonderful :)"
"I was looking for a save the date postcard mostly just to save on the cost of postage and this was the PERFECT find! I love how there was space on the back to write something a little more personal to our guests. I got amazing compliments on them and everyone loved the simple facts of our relationship because not everyone knew our story! Amazing service, beautiful design! Note: I didn't think about how post cards are smaller than normal letters, so I wasn't expecting them to be 5.25" x 4". Just take that into consideration when picking out the photos to go in. The 3 photo squares are about 1.25" x 1". My photos still came out great, but I might've picked another close up one vs one of us standing further away."

Fiscal Federalism: Normative Criteria for Evaluations, Developments in Selected OECD Countries, and Empirical Evidence for Russia
Criteria for evaluation of systems of fiscal federalism are derived from the current state of the theory of fiscal federalism. In a second step we provide an overview of developments of fiscal federalism systems in OECD countries highlighting some existing trends. Third, an overview of Russia's regional economic characteristics underlines several reasons that call for a redistribution of income among regions. Fourth, we apply the defined evaluation criteria to Russia's system of fiscal federalism. We find that there has been effective equalization of income to regions with relatively low per capita income but it was mainly the medium income group of regions that carried the burden for this redistribution. Several relatively very wealthy regions were -according to our data- persistently subsidized through the system. Fiscal equalization may have caused significant disincentive effects for subnational governments because efforts to improve their tax base and raise tax revenues tended to result in a higher net share of tax revenues to be transferred to the central government. The transfer system had major weaknesses, especially that of promoting bargaining between regions and the center, which may not have been solved through recent reforms of the system. Also a very important element of fiscal federalism is almost absent, namely revenue discretion on the part of subnational governments. Hence, the paper makes reform proposals.

Washington Auto Show
January 27, 2012 by staff
Washington Auto Show, As you might expect, the 2012 Washington Auto Show was dominated by political speeches and public policy debate. Plenty of cars and trucks were on the show floor, but most of the announcements were clearly targeted at future technology and responsible urban driving. Naturally, none of this was nourishing to any attendee who actually likes cars and pickups, but it is what it is.
Much of the underlying mood at the 2012 show was colored by the recent discussions on Capitol Hill, where various representatives asked GM Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson about the investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration into the Chevy Volt and fire that started as a result of some improper storage of a crash tested vehicle. U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood spent much of his time on the show floor complimenting manufacturers for doing a great job "getting back to work," and he defended his agency's taking almost six months to investigate why the batteries in the Volt they crash-tested caught fire.
If you've never been to Washington, D.C., it is an amazing place to visit, but there is a strong sense that this is a very insulated town with some unusual priorities. In the several days we spent moving around town, we saw only one Ford SVT Raptor, no Ram Power Wagons, and more eight-lug Chevy Suburbans (big black ones with private drivers behind the wheel) around this town than we've ever seen in one place. Finally, for a town with a lot of great public transportation, there is always a lot of traffic.
Still, we noticed a few interesting things at the show floor. There was no real truck news, as most of the emphasis in Washington is squarely focused on electric and hybrid cars. It was nice to see quite a few full-size pickups on the show floor during the media preview (even Detroit waited until the public days to roll out most of the full-size pickups), but as far as announcements and commentary were concerned, it was like anything with a bed was invisible.
Below are some of our observations and quick news items we gleaned form walking the show floor. As more full-electric and hybrid-drive technologies get into pickup trucks, we're pretty sure politicians will try to jump on the bandwagon and take some kind of credit for it and, as a result, make a speech about it.
Washington is a great place to get manufacturers, politicians and government agency officials together on one stage. This panel included representatives from NHTSA, J.D. Power and Associates, the EPA, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Natural Resources Defense Council, auto manufacturers and the White House. But without a unified energy policy (with understandable goals), you needed three hands to count the number of "top priorities" mentioned by the various speakers.

Johnny Mcentee
February 9, 2011 by staff
Johnny Mcentee, Connecticut quart Johnny McEntee has not had an impact on the field for the Huskies with only one appearance in two seasons. Off the field, he becomes quite the Internet sensation.
The California native is the star of a YouTube video titled "Trick Shot Quarterback Johnny Mac." In the movie thats longer than four minutes, McEntee displays some amazing throws, including knocking the water bottle on someone's head, broken dishes thrown in the air and make baskets in the stands at Gampel Pavilion. With uncanny accuracy, you might wonder how McEntee has not seen earlier in the field for the Huskies.
Throughout my four memorable years studying at the University of Connecticut at Storrs, I was always led to believe that the football team had no passing game. Were they rising? Absolutely, but they have a team on the ground and pound led by people like Donald Brown, Jordan Todman, and some huge offensive lineman blocking execution. Maybe the Huskies should free their backup quarterback next season?
There are a few shots where the ball disappears from the screen that makes me think that it is not legitimate, but there are many others where you can see the ball all the time that made me a believer. All this is done in an environment without pressure, but the child must have talent. Make these throws blindfolded? The only thing he sounded every goal posts using mainly the upper body? Get this kid some wide receivers and get him into the lineup.

Community groups urged to bid for £500,000 arts funding
Arts groups and organisations wishing to engage with residents in Aston and Newtown can apply for grants from a £500,000 funding pot, it was announced today (14 September 2016).
Following the closure of The Drum, in Aston, earlier this year, Birmingham City Council has worked with Arts Council England and local stakeholders, to identify priorities for cultural development in both areas and agree match funding.
The grants are split into two streams: the first is to develop engagement in the arts through activities for young people and for older people, co-designed with the community. Newly formed groups will be able to apply for grants of £2,000 to £4,000 while established organisations can bid for funding between £20,000 and £100,000.
The second is to develop opportunities for black and minority ethnic creative entrepreneurs and producers. This will be through one award of £125,000 to an established organisation or consortium to support local groups in developing their skills and networks, and a further £25,000 award for helping them to grow capacity for the future.
The Drum closed on 30 June 2016, following the liquidation of Newtown Cultural Projects Ltd, and Birmingham City Council is in the process of seeking a new tenant for the premises in Aston.
Cllr Ian Ward, Deputy Leader of Birmingham City Council, said: "I am delighted that following discussions with local stakeholders about how best to support arts activity in the Newtown and Aston community, Birmingham City Council and Arts Council England are joining together to offer funding for projects in the local area.
"This scheme has the potential to support artists and audiences and to grow organisations for the future, which will diversify the city's cultural offer and ensure it continues to be relevant to residents.
"I hope this will help build a strong foundation for future arts activity in Aston and Newtown, as well as providing partnership opportunities with other cultural companies, community groups, artists and audiences in the city. I am particularly pleased this will support black and minority ethnic artists, creators and entrepreneurs to develop as cultural leaders in Birmingham."
Peter Knott, Area Director, Arts Council England, said: "The Arts Council's ambition is to create more opportunities for people to access art and culture in the places they live, which is why we're working closely with Birmingham City Council on plans to support cultural development in the Aston and Newtown areas of the city.
"This joint funding presents a great opportunity for residents, communities and businesses to come together to be ambitious and creative, shaping the future of art and culture locally. It will open up new opportunities that we hope will become a firm foundation for future success, supporting emerging leaders to become established, and giving artists – particularly from black and minority ethnic backgrounds – the investment they need to produce work that can be enjoyed by people in Birmingham and beyond."
Applications for these time-limited, specific grants – which are available to new, emerging groups as well as established organisations – will close on 10 October 2016.
All applicants must be able to demonstrate a 20 per cent contribution from other sources and satisfy the criteria for funding.

3D printers on Kickstarter is one thing, but a 3D printables community seeking crowdfunding? MyMiniFactory launches their Seedrs campaign.
MyMiniFactory, the online community and repository for 3D models, has seen dramatic growth since it was launched in 2013. The core strategy has been to share 3D printable designs by a network of talented designers, together with unique features like the ability to tip fan-favorite designers and host printable scans of artwork and buildings in the public domain.
Today the site takes another step into uncharted territory with the launch of their Seedrs crowdfunding campaign. Parent company iMakr, led by Executive Chairman Sylvain Preumont, have pledged that the community itself can now own a stake in the 3D printables site. Backing 3D printing hardware on Kickstarter is one thing, but a content repository? This is something different entirely.
In an excitable statement to the MyMiniFactory community, Preumont said:
"Go create your Seedrs account now, spread the news and don't miss your chance to own a piece of MyMiniFactory and be part of its success! With our amazing team and your continued support, we will make this big!"
The mechanics of the Seedrs campaign is that backers large and small can invest in the company via the crowdfunding site, as opposed to a traditional stock exchange. Investors have an opportunity to split 5% of the company, if MyMiniFactory can reach its £500,000 goal. They can donate as little as £10.35, with many small investors contributing £100-200 and larger investors pledging £20k and above.
The largest chunk of funding so far comes from OTT Properties, an investment firm chaired by Jean-Francois Ott, founder of Central and Eastern European real estate giant ORCO. They've stumped up a £225,000 pledge. Explaining their decision to invest, OTT CEO Nicolas Tommasini said:
"With Jean Francois Ott we have pioneered investments in real estate operations and built a portfolio of over 2 billion Euro. We've decided to support MyMiniFactory in their equity crowdfunding campaign not only for their ambitious vision, but also for their team and track record."
Concerned about the legitimacy or safety of such an enterprise? Seedrs is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority of Great Britain, which places it under the same jurisdiction as other financial institutions in the UK.
As a matter of fact, it might surprise you to learn that equity crowdfunding has been regulated in Britain since 2000, long before crowdfunding even existed as a concept.
MyMiniFactory Publicity Blitz
The timing of the campaign is very interesting, too. MyMiniFactory have been engaged in a whirlwind of activity this past summer; first by partnering with the BBC to bring 1 million micro:bits into schools; secondly signing up for the MP5 project to standardise 3D printing file formats; and then signing up Nicholas Franchet, Facebook's Head of Retail, E-Commerce and Global Vertical Marketing, to the MyMiniFactory Board of Directors.
Morever, Preumont is reporting 25% growth in users for the site in the past 2 months, reaching 75,000 registered members in total. If the team can continue this same momentum into the future, then making an investment via Seedrs might not sound like such a crazy idea after all.
If you're curious, make sure to read all about the Seedrs platform here and sign up to hear updates from MyMiniFactory as they happen.

Hi everyone! Sorry to bother, but I was trying to post this photo up and I was having some technical difficulties...
Anyway, I am involved in an event and I will be providing the dessert (cupcakes). It was last night and held for 200 people. Below is a picture of my cupcake display- what do you think??
I would love to see everyone's opinions and suggestions...thanks so much for looking!!
I think it looks great!!! I would've wanted to sample one from each tier!!
Thank you! Flavors Included: Lemon cake with Lime Buttercream, Chocolate with Vanilla Buttercream and chocolate sauce and Vanilla with Vanilla Buttercrea, with a fondant flower.
It's very pretty, and very well displayed. Your flavors sound nice as well. If you dont mind me asking how long did it take to make and how much did you charge?
It's gorgeous. Very appetizing, great colors!!
great colors! nice display! I would've wanted to sample them all!
Looks great!!! The colors too.
Lovely colors! Great display!
That looks lovely, and cute, and those are yummy flavors
I absolutely love the colors all together and the lemon lime one sounds just divine! I also would have wanted one from each tier!
I agree with everyone. It looks great!
Thank you SO much everyone! Every Saturday I will be making a cupcake tower. It's for a non profit organization my mother is in charge of for her church. Not getting paid much, but it's to help my mom out... Plus, it doesn't hurt to get my name out there.
The lime buttercream was my new recipe and it turned out that everyone loved it! So happy
Thank you all for your compliments!!

Feel free to comment on these. Agree/ Disagree
With Paul Grayson getting a Reaper makeover in Retribution, he makes a great squadmate. He'll have to break out of Cerberus but that shouldn't be too hard. I don't know bout you, but if i was the Illusive Man i wouldn't just give that power to someone who hates me. You're just asking for things to go wrong. Paul might even be a fem Shep love interest. May sound weird, with the whole human-Reaper hybrid, but between frog-man, titanium-skin birdman and blue, bisexual aliens, its clear Bioware have no shame with romance options.
But Grayson brings a lot of great stories to the table. It means that Bioware can work in Kahlee Sanders and Gilian to the story, which will be great to watch. Little uncomfortable with Gillian finding out her dad's a freak now, but defiantly opens up for some cheesy "am i man or machine?"' moments.
Kahlee may be a good squadmate. Don't know how good a scientist will be in a fight, but i thought the same of Liara in ME1. And an AI expert can help against Reapers. She could be a male Shep romance option too, but considering she's 46 and Shep's 31 (technically 29), may be too much. Doesn't matter, since i wanted to see her and Anderson get together. I'm an old softy with that.
Shepard dies at ME3's end
No. That simple. In a movie, having the hero die works emotionally. In video games, to have your character die a scripted death at the end pretty much makes all the effort the player put into the game meaningless. Even a depressing ending like GTA4 is a little insulting. Metal Gear Solid 4 can probably get away with it because it set up a depressive mood and depressing characters from the beginning. Mass Effect 3 should build on the hero feeling the others had.
Reaper origins
I lot of people may think the Reaper's origin will be all laid out in Mass Effect 3. Personally, i hope Bioware just leaves it as is. We know all we need to know about the Reapers. To give them a backstory weakens them as bad guys. If the Reapers origins are never explained, its makes them seem more like a force that cannot be beaten and to not understand them makes them a more frightening foe. To have a beginning, though, makes it seem more likely they can be defeated.
As you may guess, I'm a softy for Tali as well, which is why, if you finish the story with her as a love interest, you should see her face. I know Bioware probably think that they'll screw it up, which is fare cause if she's too human people will be disappointed and if she's too alien people will think it doesn't work for her. But i don't think people will be that disappointed with a very human face, as you really picture Tali as a cute, girl-next-door kind of look. It seems really easy to guess what she looks like from common sense and what you can see behind the helmet. She'll be very pale, of course, and, from what you can see, i would imagine her as a very young woman with large, almost cat-like eyes. That's all i would need. Not every alien design needs to blow people away Bioware. And having Shepard know something the player doesn't really destroys the feeling that you are Shepard, rather then just going through his/her story.
Ultimately, I think its more likely Bioware won't show Tali's face. The fact is that they probly jst won't be willing to tae the time to design, build and animate a new face for Tali that will only be in the game for a few seconds and with so many people in the forums are saying not to do it. I'm well aware i'm probly on the losing side of this debate, but i'm gonna stick to wanting to see Tali's face. If Bioware decides not to do it, it will still work for me. It is, after all, their story. And hell, maybe all u guys are right and showing her face will ruin the character. But, personally, I never found the mysique of the character that interesting. I like her cause shes fun to talk to (when sshe isn't whinning abvout how bad it is for quarians), cause she has the cute girl-next-door quality and cause shes not afraid to get in your face if you get on her nerves. She a good character andi would just like to once look into her real eyes rather then two poorly animated white smudges that are meant to be them under the helmet. Does that really make me that bad? I already know im a little insecure cause when ever i get a morality choice in a video game, i always go good guy and hate going bad. I just prefer not being a dick and people liking me. does that make me insecure?
But getting off track here.
Now, as Mass Effect 3 focuses on the Reaper Wars, the problem Bioware has to deal with is that most of the action will take place in space. There's really no way around that. You can have Shepard fight Reaper ground forces, like robots or indoctrinated slaves, but it'll be hard for the player to feel like that really makes a difference. I heard ideas about adding space battles to gameplay. That will be great if Bioware can have some fun with it.
Over the last 2 games, Shepard has almost accidentally been gaining allies to fight the Reapers. If you spared her, you'll have the Rachni on your side. If you spared Legion, the geth armada will allly with you. Tali and Kal'Reegar (Adam Baldwin rules) will help you recruit the Migrant Fleet, probably if you provide a planet for them. Wrex have his krogan fight with you (with a little anti-genophage enhancement). Cerberus will help if you saved the Collecter base (At this point the Illusive Man would have used the base to make a Reaper he controls. Sure he killed a few million to do it, but he doesn't care) The Citadel and Alliance will be on your side when they realize to Reapers are real (I'll love seeing the Council's faces when a thousand Sovereigns show up at their doorstep), probably hand over the fleets as an apology for screwing with you. And if Shepard's smart, he'll/she'll buy the loyalty of mercs to swell the ranks. In the end, Shepard will have command over the largest armada the galaxy has ever seen outside the Reapers. And, once the Reapers are beaten, everyone will love Shepard for stopping them. What else can this lead to, but the best Paragon/Renegade choice in the game:
Paragon: Re-install to Council, with every species getting a seat to stop this lesser species crap. Shepard then retires with their love interest for a well deserved vacation.
Renegade: Shepard uses his army to install himself, in true Darth Sidious fashion, as Ruler of the galaxy, with their love interest ruling at your side.
Sure it may recycle Knights of the Old Republic, but you can't deny its a great ending.

This morning in Saint-Nazaire, France, MSC Divina was officially delivered to MSC Cruises at the STX France shipyard.
During the traditional flag ceremony, the shipyard's pennant and the French flag were lowered, accompanied by the French national anthem, before Laurent Castaing, General Manager of STX France, formally handed the ship over to MSC Cruises' owner Gianluigi Aponte.
Mr Aponte then gave command of the ship to Captain Giuliano Bossi, and the flags of Italy and MSC Cruises were raised to the sound of the Italian national anthem. Erminio Eschena, General Director of MSC Cruises France, Belgium and Luxembourg, was also in attendance.
The honor of cutting the ribbon fell to Ela Aponte, wife of MSC Vice President Diego Aponte, who was also in attendance. After the traditional breaking of a bottle of champagne, three blasts from the ship's siren signalled the end of the ceremony.
"I am very proud of MSC Divina, the 12th addition to our wonderful fleet and our third Fantasia-class ship. I believe she is the most beautiful ship in our fleet and that her innovations and polished features bring this successful class to perfection. Dedicated to Ms. Sophia Loren, MSC Divina's stylish refinement represents a new benchmark in cruising. More than that, MSC Divina is the latest expression of our long-term collaboration with STX France," said MSC Cruises CEO Pierfrancesco Vago. "Each Fantasia-class ship represents 5 million working hours and an average investment of $700 million, over 70 percent of which directly benefits the French economy, in terms of both employment and the procurement of goods and services in support of the ships' construction. We believe that the success of a country's economy relies on such investments in its unique industrial traditions."
STX France's General Manager Laurent Castaing added: "MSC Divina is the 11th ship in just over 10 years that our shipyard has built which is operated by MSC Cruises. Her sistership MSC Preziosa, currently under construction, will become the 12th ship. Throughout our 150-year history never before have so many vessels been built for one ship builder, and this is a record which deserves to be highlighted today. I myself have even had the opportunity to participate in the construction of a good number of these vessels during my previous roles at the Saint-Nazaire shipyard."
MSC Divina is 1,094 feet long, 124 feet wide, and weighing 139,400 tons, the 3,502-guest (double occupancy; total: 4,345) luxury cruise ship is able to travel up to 23 knots, offering smooth cruising in sumptuous surroundings.

Giveaway :: Alchemy
As we continue to focus on our "Abundant Creativity" this month, let's not forget to look at the flip side of the same coin. While the idea of abundance seems to imply a sense of more than enough or too much, I like to think that it merely points to having just enough. There is something inherently simple about abundance. Perhaps I'm waxing philosophic (as well as enjoying a metaphor) but simple abundance is an idea I can stand behind.
Belinda Evans is the artist and designer behind Alchemy, an online shop of beautiful textiles, jewelry, and aromatherapy products that focuses on simple, sustainable living and practice. Evans' background in environmental sustainability education speaks to her simple and natural aesthetic and her work is the type that brings a breath of ease into your home. I am especially in love with these weavings and think every single one of them holds a specific piece of simple beauty that my home is missing. After all, any reminder to look at the simpler side of abundance is a good one.
Alchemy is giving away one Australian Found Wood Necklace to one lucky winner! To enter to win, please answer the following question no later than Tuesday, November 26th.
Please visit Alchemy and tell us: When you think of abundance in your life, what comes to mind?
Start checking the winner's box on Monday, December 2nd, to see if you've won!
When I think of abundance I think of time with people I love, time to pursue the things that make me happy, good food, good drink and good music.
When I think of abundance in my life, I think of the abundance of opportunities that I have! The amount of risks I can take because all the resources that have come my way. I treasure all the people in my life, and I am blessed to be in the social network and connections I that I am in. This allows me to have opportunities and risks accessible.
my husband is amazing, so i think of love. 🙂
"For all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee."
When I think of abundance, I think of the fact that everything in the world, is not something I've made. Even when I make things, the sources of them are beyond me! Even when I think, the ideas are from (often) from others!
Abundance to me is reality. It is the reality that there is so much in the world, and it is not from me (though I participate in it!)
I think of "Joy" first and foremost.
Living where I do, on a working farm, abundance is the apple crop, the walnuts, the tomato yields, and the fact that we have all we can use and LOTS to share with others. I feel rich to be able to use the harvest from the orchard and the gardens exuberantly and to never run out of more to share! Abundance is also the natural resources–lots of land to work and lots of water from the well, lots of space, lots of fresh air!
I think of love because that's practically all we have right now – but it is the best thing TO have.
I think about my family and friends and am grateful for how they influenced me over the course of my life <3
I'm in my first semester of graduate school–so at the moment I'm enjoying splashing around in an abundance of ideas, perspectives, and conversations. Add that to our town's weekly farmers' market, and my life right now is happily abundant.
I feel like abundance is a word that represents every aspect of my life right now.
I have an abundance of creativity, loved ones, adventure, work, and possibilities. Every day I'm reminded of the fullness of life, whether it's because of time spent in the studio alone, playing with my cats, or being with my best friends.
For me, that Im currently so far away from home and living in another country, I guess abundance means to me, "life", and the emotions that come with it. I think emotions are like air. There is not a moment that you can live without them ( otherwise is like being a living corp). By embracing and accepting what everything can make you feel, either pleasant or otherwise. Is when everything connects and when you can perceive and relate to not only your truly self but to what surrounds you. I Guess, life is abundance in itself that never stops marvelling and filling me.
I too love the aesthetic of the shop, that elusive balance of just enough! For me right now, what comes to mind with abundance in my life is having enough hardships and enough blessings to truly appreciate the good in my life.
When I think of abundance I think of joy and gratitude. Happy and Grateful for all I have and for so many amazing and challenging opportunities!
for me, is not about what we have but what we enjoy that constitutes our abundance.
Love. I have the love of my sisters, and my 4 nieces. I have a good marriage filled with love. I love so many friends and they love me back. When my dad died in January, I was humbled by the love that was sent my way. I am truly blessed.
For me, abundance is all about the love around me and the openness I receive in my heart. My pockets aren't deep but I'm rich in love and joy, particularly where my daughter is concerned. She's taught me what true abundance means!
When I think of abundance, I immediately think of my family. With two young kids, the house is always filled with a lot of noise, people, and stuff everywhere but for me that all adds up to an abundance of joy.
Homework….there seems like there is always a paper due, a forgotten assignment, or a project intimidatingly hovering over my already stressed head. But college has given me some of the closest connections I've ever formed, so I guess its worth it.
This one is easy! Abundance makes me think of friendships. The true, long-term, know you inside-and-out, love you unconditionally type. I feel lucky to have a number of these with people I've known since I was young.
My life overflows with curiosity and wonder. I love exploring, learning, and growing as a person. There is so much to discover in this world.
Abundance is one of my favorite words. If I'm ever down and take just a moment to contemplate abundance, I'm overwhelmed with joy and peace. Abundance blossoms all around me. In the natural world, I feel rejuvenated by the intricate and simple beauty of everything from a mountain range to a chestnut. In my body, I can move and run and dance and love others with no inhibition. In my family, my wild boys fill me with joy with their quiet smiles and raucous laughter. I feel like abundance is everywhere, it takes seeing eyes to behold it.
I have abundance of love for my children. My husband gives me abundance of love (and likewise).

Introduction: Malignant mesenchymal tumours of the orofacial region are extremely rare and comprise only 1% of all malignant orofacial tumours with more than 50 subtypes. Angiosarcomas are highly malignant neoplasms that originate from blood or lymphatic vessels. Angiosarcomas form 5,4 % of all sarcomas and in the head and neck region are the most frequent type of sarcoma. Aim: The aim of this case report is to describe a rare malignant neoplasm in the head and neck topography which can be diagnostic difficulty and may be missed or unrecognised with fatal consequences for the patient. Materials, methods, results: The authors describe the clinical manifestations of the disease, the diagnosis and therapy of mandibular angiosarcoma in a seriously ill patient. The diagnosis was made on the basis of the histopathological findings and immunohistochemistry. The following treatment was radical surgery with subsequent radiotherapy and 18 months later, the 84 year old female patient remains alive and apparently healthy. Conclusions: Angiosarcoma has currently been literary described only in small number of patients. Guidelines for optimal treatment are still unknown and the average survival is one year and a half.

The evaluation of resection margins in surgical treatment of oral cavity carcinoma is an important prognostic factor. Sometimes it is difficult to perform the resection in the healthy tissue because of relatively small field of operation, presence of important anatomical structures in the region of oral cavity, and advanced stage of the oncogenic disease in most patients. The outcome of resection margin zone examination modifies individually further therapeutic procedure. Lot of studies point out both increased occurrence of relapses and overall survival outcome setback in patients with positive surgical margin with regard to the presence of tumor cells. This paper analyses a file of 71 patients with oral cavity spinocellular carcinoma in whom the surgery was a treatment part of oncogenic disease. Either the occurrence or the tumor proximity in the resection margin was detected in 28.2 % of findings. Dates of 65 patients in total were processed with focus on local relapse occurrence during there years. In case of either positive or proximate margin a local relapse occurred in 47.4 % (9/19) of patients, in case of negative margin in local relapse occurred in 26.1 % (12/46) of patients. Positive or proximate margin occurred most frequently in category T3; upper alveolar process and palate was the most frequent localization, i.e. in 55.6 % (9/15) of patients. Expressive decrease in occurrence of local relapses was recorded in case of negative surgical margin.

Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a known complication of high-dose antiresorptive therapy (AR) for bone malignancies, and is rarely (incidence rates of 1/10,000 and < 1/100,000 patient-years) seen also in patients receiving AR for osteoporosis. ONJ, defined as exposure of the jaw bone lasting for more than 8 weeks, causes many complications. ONJ is frequently associated with an intervention in the oral cavity, which either accelerates its progression or is needed due to already existing ONJ. The dominant pathogenetic factor is likely to be decreased bone remodeling in the jaw bone tissue with physiologically high bone turnover, leading to changes in characteristics of the alveolus and inhibiting the full range of physiological recovery mechanisms. Classification of ONJ has been elaborated and diagnostic methods are being improved. By strictly following simple preventive measures, this rare but serious complication of AR for osteoporosis may become less frequent.

Objective: The objective of this study is to confirm or exclude the presence of the HPV in oral cavity according to sexual activity. Design: Prospective not blinded study. Setting: Clinic of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Clinic of Obsterics and Gynecology, Department of Microbiology, Medical Faculty Palacky University and University Hospital Olomouc. Methods: The patients were examined during the scree-nig for cervix carcioma at the Clinic of Obsterics and Gynecology. After filling the Consent Form and the questionnaire for possible exposure to potentional risk the swabs from cervix and mouth were sampled. The samples have been processed at the Department of Microbiology by the Real Time PCR. Results: The results have not confirmed the relation between sexual practices and infection of oral cavity by the HPV. Conclusion: Our results correspond with certain authors. There is unclear correlation between total number of sexual partners and infection of mouth with the HPV. Nevertheless the HPV related tumors have been proven - especially in the oropharynx-but the way how the infection enters the mouth remains still unclear, according to us.

Distant metastasis of malignant tumors in the facial area are rare. They occur both in the soft tissues of the oral cavity and face and skeletal jaw bones and their diagnosis is not always easy. In planning therapeutic procedures, one must take into account the patient's general health, prognosis and degree of cancer generalization. The authors present their own experience in the diagnosis and therapy of three cases of oral cancer metastasis with extraoral primary localisation. The histories are accompanied by a summary of available information on the incidence of metastatic malignant tumors in the orofacial region.
