Is it possible for HP mini 110-3735dx to have 8GB ram?
First, a detail of my netbook. It is HP Mini 110-3735dx. As of right now, it has 1GB ram installed. The software used to be windows 7 starter but I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate a while ago. It is 32 bit.
I just happened to find out that my machine is capable of converting into 64 bit. So with that in mind, I want to do that. Make my machine from 32 bit to 64 bit. And of course I am going to use windows 7 ultimate in 64 bit version. For that I need to put new ram so that it be stable.
I did what I can and you guys can help me as well to confirm about this. I found out that my ram is PC3-10600 DDR3 204pin SDRAM SODIMM. With this information, when I go to buy ram and is most likely going to 8GB or 16GB, do I go specify:
8GB RAM PC3-10600 DDR3 204pin SDRAM SODIMM
16GB RAM PC3-10600 DDR3 204pin SDRAM SODIMM
Or is there alternative? And does it have to be 10600 or that could alternative? What about 204pin?
So my question was about the ram.
Thank you!!

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Judging by HP Mini 110-3735dx PC Product Specifications | HP® Support, I think your computer is a bit too old. Also the ram limit is 1 gb and with the cpu it may not be your bottle neck...

Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
While the CPU is 64 bit capable (as most modern CPUs are) it could theoretically ruin a 64 bit OS. But the maximum RAM on that computer is 1 GB which is only half the recommended minimum for a 64 bit OS. Considering that and the rather slow CPU it would run very poorly with a 64 bit OS.
This is not unusual for a netbook.
Stick with what you have.

I see. But as a general, suppose I want to upgrade my ram, how do I go about it? Let's just say my current ram is 2GB. I look into my computer and open the back cover and saw my actual ram. It turns out to be
2GB PC3-10600 DDR3 204pin SDRAM SODIMM.
When I go buying it, say 4GB, do I go for exactly 4GB PC3-10600 DDR3 204pin SDRAM SODIMM or could it 4GB DDR3 something else?
What about if I go buying 8GB? Go for 8GB PC3-10600 DDR3 204pin SDRAM SODIMM or is there alternative?
Also, when buying ram, do I need to buy anything else/do anything else?
Thank you

That applies to 4 GB or 8GB sticks of RAM. Buy the same kind of RAM that the computer supports. Also make sure that the computer can support the size of RAM that you buy. It's all well and good to get 4 GB of RAM, but if your computer only supports 2 GB, you have 2 GB sitting around doing nothing. If it will work at all.

As USerNam said, the netbook can only support a maximum of 1GB of RAM. You can get a 4GB or 16GB of DDR3 SODIMM but it will still only use 1GB. With the Atom processor 64 Bit will likely be very slow and sluggish since 2GB is the minimum to run w7 64-bit

When you're a child, you tend to believe what you're told. This goes from food to school, and to religion. But when you get a little older, it becomes less likely that you believe for the sake of believing.
Oh, I still haven't given up my faith. And I've thought of some reasons beyond I don't know what else to believe (some things in nature are too complex to have happened by chance, for instance). But my relationship with it has changed. Sometimes, I wonder if there's really something to this, or if it's all for nothing. I think my continued faith might partially be out of habit.
But even if I stop being Christian, I think I'll stay theist or at least agnostic. Frankly, the thought of this world and life being all there is depresses me. Whether I go that way or not, I should still think about my beliefs and why I have them.

Artist Statement
Te Pou Whatumanawa Taketake – The Human Heart [personality]
The eponymous ancestor Māui who is known throughout Polynesia and even into parts of Asia, notably the Philippines. Māui is the archetypal Demi god hero attributed with such epic feats as the acquisition of fire from the Atua-Goddess of fire Mahuika, the fishing up of many islands out of the unchartered waters of Te Moana nui aa Kiwa (the pacific ocean), the capturing and slowing down of Tanenuiārangi otherwise known as Tamanuiterā (Rā) our Sun, to allow humanity the ability to integrate and transmute the quintessential language and life force transmitted to us from galactic core through our Sun, Tihei Mauri oo Raa!
Māui is also the ancient keeper of all time. He held the power of the star compass ultimately knowing that all esoteric alignment was going to happen here in Te Ika a Māui (NZ) first in the universe because we are the first to see the Tamanuitera. (The Sun). This was embodied in the applied practice of Te Ngako's fieldwork for his PhD. He returned to Hawaiki to gather 14 mauri (sacred talismans) from the ancient marae of Taputapuātea. Firstly to release the Māui's canoe Nukutaimemeha from the summit of Hikurangi. Secondly, to rebuild the star compass at the summit of Takawhiti with the remaining nine mauri (sacred talisman). The 14 mauri are reconnected to the power source from Te Kore (Unlimited Potential), to Io Matua Kore, to Ngā Rangi Tūhāhā, to Papatuānuku, to Taputapuātea and then to Hikurangi.
Māui bears his Spiritual Totem, Te Kauae Matua o Murirangawhenua, (the sacred jawbone of his grandmother Murirangawhenua) fashioned into the sacred magical hook called Tūwāwā-ki-te-rangi (to have direct alignment with a higher form of consciousness) that he used to fish up Te Ika nui a Māui, The North island of New Zealand, which is to his right with the Waka a Māui (the Canoe of Māui) the South Island, it is said that he smited his own nose to use his own blood as bait to catch the great fish. His moko tells the story of his final journey with Hinenuitepō, the Goddess of death in which he did not survive, leaving humanity a mortal race.
The golden orb on his forehead symbolises his conquest of the sun. He stands on the head of Murirangawhenua, as it was her Matriarchal Terrestrial knowledge that enabled him to perform his magic science. The whare wānanga is called Te Aho o Matariki and Te Hemo o Tawake are his whare wānanga. These were traditional Matarua (two windowed House) which is the structure of an ancient school of learning, behind the whare is Hikurangi where the navigational star compass has been constructed, the east coast mountain famed to be the final resting place of Māui's and his canoe and as a result of this work has been removed. Te Ikaroa a Maaui surrounds Māui – the Milky Way also symbolised by the tukutuku panel, and Te Aho o Matariki (Pleiades) to his left. Which Maaui was able to travel backward and forward at will.

Famous artist Christo, who is known for his monumental ephemeral works, announced on his website that he was walking away from his Over the River project, a monumental 9.5-km-long canopy to be suspended over the Arkansas River.
"I no longer wish to wait on the outcome", he said. The artist was waiting for a federal appeals court to decide if he could install his work over the river. He had been working on it for over 20 years. For several years now, Over the River has struck a number of hurdles, primarily from a group of Colorado residents who were concerned about the impact on the local fauna.
When interviewed by the New York Times, the artist did not want to elaborate on his reasons for abandoning the project, saying simply that he did not agree with the "new landlord". "Like many others, I never believed that Trump would be elected", he said, arguing that his act spoke for itself.
The art world was quick to react to the announcement. Guardian art critic Jonathan Jones immediately explained that, in his opinion, Christo's gesture would not harm Trump. "The loss of works like Christo's will, however, rob those who need its power – from younger people who can be inspired by art to Trump dissidents who might be nourished by it", he said.
On his website, Christo explained that he would rather concentrate on the 150-metre-high work conceived over 40 years ago, with his wife Jeanne-Claude, who passed away in 2009. Unlike the majority of his works, the Mastaba composed of barrels of petrol in Abu Dhabi will be permanent.

The Essential Oil Industry?
Read Now
This company you can purchase direct and is not a multi-level marketing company or direct sales. Quality control is 3rd party and they are certified organic. Whether you're looking for eucalyptus oil, sandalwood oil, lavender oil, peppermint oil or others, you can save when buying organic essential oils from Bulk Apothecary. Click on the photos to shop!
Now if you happen to be passionate about working in the wellness industry and have successfully used essential oils in your personal life, why not help others learn how to use them and share the knowledge especially if you are out of work and need income to support yourself and family.
A Direct Sales Company that I really like is Youngevity. This company has some of the worlds best suppliers of essential oils and well over 400 other healthy products that are top leaders in the nutrition industry. What I like most about joining Youngevity if you need income is they have well over 400 hours in recorded training calls on wellness. They offer daily training calls as well. Some of the calls are how to run a business and others are on product training. Excellent opportunity to learn and or get into the wellness industry.
Having a STORE front without ever leaving your home gets you into the essential oil, health or products sales market instantly! With a little creativity and hard work you might just have the job!
Company History of Youngevity Essential Oils (previously known as Ancient Legacy) was founded by Dr Judy Wright ND and Alexandria Brighton!
Alexandria Brighton is the ex wife co-founder of Young Living Essential Oils. Ms. Brighton joined Youngevity and brought to Youngevity the EOBBD (Essential Oils Botanically and Biochemically Defined) guarantee of purity granted by a scientific committee of independent health professionals in Europe.
What this means is that the oils can be traced back to the field and distiller from which they are produced, as well as know the exact chemical makeup of each oil. Youngevity is certified by an independent organization that is internationally recognized, and is often the only company in the United States to bid on and purchase medicinal grade essential oils, the highest quality of oils that are available worldwide.
So how does the other direct sales company doTERRA essential oil fit into this picture? Well, basically the Young Living Essential Oil Company is in a legal battle with the doTERRA Essential Oil Company.
At this point in the litigation a judge has dismissed some of the lawsuits in which the Utah therapeutic oils company is suing another for allegedly poaching from its network of independent distributors by using confidential information.
Fourth District Court Judge Christine Johnson has dismissed all of the claims made by Young Living Essential Oils of Lehi against competitor doTERRA Inc. of Orem, which was formed by officers, employees and distributors who left Young Living.
The judge's decision leaves in place claims of violation of contract and confidentiality agreements against doTERRA principals.
It's unfortunate that so much time, energy, and money on both sides have been spent on these two companies fighting. I think they should actually use their essential oils and walk in forgiveness before they get physically sick and go bankrupt!
Healthy Traditions is another great choice to purchase your oils. They have some of the best essential oils in the world but they also have some of THE BEST coconut oil in the world. Click Here for to view Healthy Traditions Essential Oils or Click Here for Coconut Oil
Organic Skincare Scrub
1 cup sugar (preferably organic)
1 cup oil (olive oil and coconut oil work great)
Optional: essential oils of your preference
Mix all ingredients and store in an air tight jar.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Ventres Early Origins
Cambridgeshire, where the family held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066; the language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. However, Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the 13th century when they held a family seat at Wittlesford.
Ventres Spelling Variations
Ventres Spelling Variations
Before the last few hundred years, the English language had no fast system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations are commonly found in early Anglo-Saxon surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Ventres were recorded, including Ventris, Ventres, Venters, Ventrus, Ventras, Venture, Ventures, Ventrice, Ventriss, Fentress, Fentris and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Ventres family emigrate to North America:

The last time I saw Dorie, I was lying on my kitchen floor looking up at her, and she was taking my pulse. I had a 24-hour bug—she had stopped by for a visit—and I, Laura Miller, an old friend and fellow photographer, immediately passed out from trying to stand up and say hello. There she was, with her big smile and inquiring eyes, eyes that see the world in a way that few photographers these days do. Trust me on this one. I have a lot of photographer friends—good ones, great ones. In my studio, I look at photography all day long and Dorie's images are different. They could be of strangers on a subway train or they could be of her daughters—taken with her Canon or by Instagram. Either way, they always seem to belong on the front page of The New York Times. The compositions are striking and the subjects hold you in their gaze. You will wonder what they are thinking, or you will recognize that thought and feel it yourself. You will see innocence and beauty, coming-of-age and aging, and you will see all those things in a way that you would never see in real life. The humanness will leap out at you, because the moments she stops are always the important ones. Dorie is, truly, among the best of what seems increasingly rare: She is a photojournalist. The photographs she makes are always true, compassionate, and beautiful.
At a wedding, Dorie is as committed as she would be on any of her major news assignments. More than that, she is feeling all the joy that you are and capturing it forever. There is no cheese, no artificiality. And if you happen to pass out from all the happiness, or from dehydration (seriously, drink a lot of water!) don't worry—she will be right there for you.
Hi. I am Dorie and I approve this bio.
note: I limit my bookings to 20 per year.
The best move I made was to have you photograph the rehearsal dinner!! I love all the photos. You are sooooo talented.
There are many wedding photographers out there…Dorie, however, is an artist… with a camera… who happens to shoot weddings. And beautifully! We cannot recommend our experience with STC highly enough.
They are insanely beautiful!!!
I don't know how we are going to select an album…
Thank you, thank you, thank you…

North Star Games had been demonstrating its new game, "Happy Salmon," and it was noisy and crazy all around the North Star Games booth for four straight days. There were huge crowds of attendees just wanting to see what was going on. The Toys Bulletin staff was lucky enough to get a chance to play the game ourselves, and yes, we were very impressed.

Arizona's water problem is grave. The beautiful scenery, fine climate and fertile soil, like those of other southwestern states, have combined to entice an even larger number of people to settle there, and water demands have grown accordingly.1
As the quote above demonstrates, concerns about water supply in Arizona are not new. In fact, throughout reported history, Arizona has been a desert where water is a precious and limited resource. More recently, the other half of the water equation—demand—has increased dramatically along with Arizona's rapidly growing population. Even this growth in demand, however, is not an entirely new phenomenon. The Groundwater Management Act of 1980 ("GMA")2 was adopted partly to address a large and growing demand for groundwater in parts of Arizona. Those locations were incorporated within Active Management Areas ("AMAs") where groundwater rights and uses are strictly regulated. Read more....
"The president, regardless of political affiliation, should not have the authority to designate millions of acres of land without local public input"
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) released the following statement after submitting a language request to the House Appropriations Committee asking it to include language that would prevent presidential abuse of the Antiquities Act:
"During his time in office, President Obama has abused the Antiquities Act to designate or expand 22 national monuments and lock up more than three million acres of land. Shamefully, the president recently designated three new national monuments in the California desert encompassing nearly 1.8 million acres. The president, regardless of political affiliation, should not have unilateral authority to designate millions of acres of land without local public input or proper analysis.
"Unilateral designations that circumvent Congress under the Antiquities Act typically result in devastating consequences for local communities that negatively affect their future economic prosperity. These declarations often result in some of the most restrictive land-use regulations possible and also greatly impact hunting, fishing, OHV and other recreational activities. Grazing rights, water rights, wildfire prevention and other land management activities can also be negatively impacted. I will continue to do everything in my power to block presidential overreach and prevent abuse under this outdated 1906 law."
The full letter sent to the House Appropriations Committee can be found HERE.
Congressman Gosar's appropriations language request makes a number of reforms to the 1906 Antiquities Act. This effort also explicitly prevents three misguided monument efforts in the Grand Canyon Watershed, the Sedona Verde Valley and in the Northwest Sonoran Desert from circumventing Congress, preventing public input and failing to comply with NEPA.
31 members of the House signed and submitted Congressman Gosar's appropriations language request including: Brian Babin, Dan Benishek, Rob Bishop, Dave Brat, Ken Buck, Jason Chaffetz, Paul Cook, Kevin Cramer, Jeff Duncan, Trent Franks, Paul Gosar, Cresent Hardy, Joe Heck, Tim Huelskamp, Walter Jones, Steve King, Raúl Labrador, Doug LaMalfa, Doug Lamborn, Read complete Press Release.

Uncertainty is a common theme among employers this year thanks, in part, to new technologies, an unpredictable Trump administration and a web of new compliance standards on every government level, according to an annual survey from the law firm Littler Mendelson.
The survey, which queries more than 1,200 U.S. employers, including in-house counsel, human resources professionals and executives, found that whatever change is to come in Washington has created "unprecedented" uncertainty in the workplace. This was the sixth annual survey conducted by the firm, which boasts one of the largest labor and employment practices in the country.
"With the profound changes in Washington, D.C., it may be initially surprising that respondents do not anticipate more of a near-term impact on their businesses," Michael Lotito, co-chairman of Littler's Workplace Policy Institute, said. "However, given the general climate of uncertainty and delays in appointments to government agencies, employers likely expect it to take time before they start to see how the president's agenda is carried out and personally feel an impact in their workplaces."
Here are some of the findings from the 2017 survey:
What employers want from Trump
Employers expect a lot from the new Republican leader. So far, expectations are tempered. They hope to see reformed health care, employee benefits law and immigration policies in 2017. As far as regulations put in place under the Obama administration, employers are less optimistic that there will be quick change, including with the Affordable Care Act (85% in 2016 to 83% in 2017), enforcement by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (78% to 76%), National Labor Relations Board (56% to 55%) and Department of Labor (82% to 81%).
Compliance challenges
Labor and employment requirements are popping up at the state and local levels throughout the country, creating a fragmented landscape when it comes to paid leave mandates, background checks and minimum wage increases, the survey found. About 80% of the respondents said this has become a problem. Internal audits, new trainings and updated policies are common.
Confusion over health care
Even with Republicans controlling the White House and Congress, more than a quarter of employers surveyed were uncertain about what would happen with the Affordable Care Act's employer mandate. Another 28% said they expected no change or impact. Only 4% of respondents anticipate dropping coverage for some full-time employees if they are relieved of the ACA's employer mandate, but 18% said they would allow more employees to work more than 30 hours a week.
EEOC expectations
Survey respondents believe that there will be an increase in discrimination claims over the next year because of hiring practices (51%), LGBT rights (46%) and equal pay (46%).
Breaches on the brain
Data breaches that stem from employees are a concern to 63% of respondents and have sparked work on new security policies by HR and IT departments. More than half said new employees are receiving new training and some (29%) say they are using "cyber-incident response plans," whle others (23%) are updating employee contracts to cover confidentiality obligations.

Skip to comments.ACLU threatens to sue after Pennsylvania school board blocks Gay-Straight Alliance club
Posted on 03/20/2013 8:00:17 PM PDT by Morgana
CHAMBERSBURG, PA, March 20, 2013 (LifeSiteNews) The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is threatening a Pennsylvania school district with legal action after the school board voted 5-4 to block the formation of a Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) at a local high school.
The ACLU gave the Chambersburg Area School District a Wednesday deadline to reverse its decision before the ACLU moved forward with the suit. But on early Wednesday afternoon, a district representative who asked not to be named told LifeSiteNews by phone that the original decision to bar the club still stands.
As to whether the school board might yet change their minds in the face of legal action, the employee said, No decision has been made at this time.
The ACLU of Pennsylvania and homosexual advocacy group Equality PA originally wrote to the district on March 12 demanding they reverse their decision within three days, or be sued in federal court.
According to Witold Walczak, ACLU-PA legal director, the school board asked for a one-month extension. The ACLU gave them an extra five days to capitulate, giving them until today.
What we asked them to do was authorize the club and give them all the benefits and privileges that extend to other clubs, Walczak told Public Opinion News. That's a non-negotiable request. They're either going to do it or not do it. They're either going to say it's done by [Wednesday] or say or it's not done.
The ultimatum is characteristic of the group, which frequently hits small towns and school districts with surprise threats of legal action in a matter of days if their demands are not met. Walczak says their intimidation tactics usually work.
We've never had to go to court on this issue, Walczak, told Public Opinion. We went back and pulled records on the issue. Since 2009, Chambersburg would be the fourth district we have had to send a letter to. All three settled before court.
Walczak claims the boards decision to ban the gay club was a violation of the federal Equal Access Act.
If the school board allows any noncircular clubs, then they have to allow the Gay-Straight Alliance, Walczak said. The school currently allows a Bible Club and other non-educational groups.
Gay-Straight Alliances have been a hot-button issue in Canada. In Ontario the recently passed Bill 13 has mandated that all schools, including Catholic schools, must allow Gay-Straight Alliances. The bill was amended at the 11th hour to make it clear that Catholic schools could not refuse the clubs, after the provinces Catholic bishops had expressed opposition.
After the passage of the bill, President Sam Hammond of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario said, Just as all teachers are expected to stand up against racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination, so too must they stand up and protect students from homophobia and transphobia.
'Transphobia'. That's a new one to me.
As the legendary Bob Grant used to say: "It's sick out there,folks, and getting sicker."
How soon will Canada ban possession of any English-language or French-language translations of the Bible which include the verses condemning homosexual behavior? (They might ignore the Hebrew and Greek texts because so few people can read them.)
Question is will canaduh ban the Koran? More than a few read that!
So the ACLU managed to take time away from all its efforts defending persecuted Christian groups that have had their rights violated?
Oh, wait, they are usually the instigators of Christian persecution.
Why do our schools need sex clubs?
I wonder if the commies and Nazis down at the aCLU would tolerate a Christian-Atheist Alliance club. Probably not.
We can thank the 17th Amendment for this.
Absent the 17th, would the states have instructed their senators to allow this sort of meddling in their schools?
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
27:54 And Lot! when he said unto his folk: Will ye commit abomination knowingly ? But he "saved those who believed."I would love to see the reaction of the Canadian commission to a Muslim who put up a billboard with the above verse.
27:55 Must ye needs lust after men instead of women ? Nay, but ye are folk who act senselessly. Male homosexuals commit abominations and act senselessly.
27:56 But the answer of his folk was naught save that they said: Expel the household of Lot from your township, for they (forsooth) are folk who would keep clean!
27:57 Then We saved him and his household save his wife; We destined her to be of those who stayed behind.
27:58 And We rained a rain upon them. Dreadful is the rain of those who have been warned.
If you see posts of interest to Pennsylvanians, please ping me.
Thanks Morgana for the heads up
In other local PA news (not in a newspaper) ... up the valley from Chambersburg where I live, my daughter's friend was removed from class at Cumberland Valley High School. She was in a class where they were learning about Islam. The class was being preached to by a thug union teacher about how, "we need to get along", the "religion of peace" and "diversity" amongst other things. Apparently my daughter's friend couldn't handle any more of the liberal tripe and spoke her opinion. She was immediately sent to the principal's office. She was threatened with suspension, but after talking the Lesbo principal off the cliff, she was given a warning.
There is a huge divide between so-called educators and everyday people in these parts. I can't wait for my elder daughter to graduate high school this June (my youngest daughter does cyber school). My elder daughter is a hard-core conservative. My next worry is how she will avoid brainwashing in college.

(Reuters Health) – Excess pounds and smoking might each raise the likelihood of frequent heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), according to a large study from Norway.
Other factors linked to higher odds of new GERD symptoms included getting older, being a woman, having less education, and even quitting smoking – if it led to weight gain.
"Heartburn and acid regurgitation are very frequent, up to 30 percent of people in Western populations have these complaints at least weekly, so we wanted to know more about the reasons why these symptoms appear," said Dr. Eivind Ness-Jensen, the study's senior author.
GERD is defined as having "troublesome" symptoms of acid reflux – where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus – or complications of reflux at least once a week, the study team writes in the American Journal of Gastroenterology.
Other symptoms include hoarseness, laryngitis, dry cough and increased saliva. GERD can also eventually lead to precancerous changes in the esophagus.
To see what characteristics predict development of GERD, the researchers analyzed data on nearly 30,000 people in Nord-Trondelag County, Norway.
Subjects were interviewed in 1995-1997 and again in 2006-2009.
They had no GERD symptoms in the first interview. By the second interview, 510 people had severe GERD symptoms and 14,406 still had no GERD complaints. People with very mild or less than weekly symptoms were excluded from the comparison.
The researchers found a steady increase in GERD risk with greater excess weight, based on body mass index (BMI), a measure of weight relative to height. A BMI of less than 25 is considered normal, 26 to 29.9 is overweight or "pre-obese" and 30 or above is obese.
In the 12-year study, the risk of developing GERD rose by 30 percent with every one-point increase in BMI, regardless of the person's starting BMI.
People who smoked cigarettes or had smoked previously were 29 to 37 percent more likely to develop GERD than never-smokers.
And those who stopped smoking but whose BMI rose more than 3.5 points after quitting were twice as likely to develop symptoms as people who had never smoked. Read the rest of this story on Reuters Health.
The following commentary regarding "Risk factors for heartburn…." by Dr. Brent Hunter:
Wellness Solutions for Heartburn Risk Factors
When it comes to heartburn or GERD, it is vitally important to understand the following:
- The acid produced by your stomach is absolutely necessary for proper digestion and health.
- Artificially lowering your stomach acid with drugs like Nexium comes with detrimental effects to your health.
Read this Wellness Achiever post to learn the details of these 2 keys: Acid Reflux Drugs May Cause Dementia and Neuropathy
If you are a parent, then you know that heartburn is not only an adult problem. It is very common problem for infants and children as well. In addition to the above article, check out how Pediatric GERD is Relieved with Chiropractic Care.
An anti-inflammatory diet is a major key to producing a healthy digestive system. However, there are many (sometimes confusing) ideas about diet. Here are 8 Tips to Beat Inflammation with Your Diet that will help you cut through the confusion.
As this new research indicates, carrying excess weight is certain to increase your risk of heartburn. The anti-inflammatory diet described in the article link above is one of the most important considerations for safe, fast, effective weight loss. A very close second is practicing the right type of exercise. This exercise produces the metabolic conditioning in your body that causes excess fat to burn off naturally.
These are just a few of the most important Wellness Lifestyle Factors that will reverse heartburn risk factors naturally. Other important considerations include proper stress management, chiropractic care and high-quality probiotic supplements. As you continue to peruse the articles here at Wellness Achiever, I hope you are inspired to take charge of your health future! Defeating heartburn and any disease is possible when you are empowered to adopt a Wellness Lifestyle.

Some thoughts:
The game was Fulham under Jol in microcosm: lots of lovely attacking play in the first half, then a complete shutdown and hanging on phase that could easily have seen us lose the three points. I don't know why it happens but it is frustrating. That was a 4-0 win waiting to happen.
I'm seeing a bit of basketball in our play. There's something of the Stockton/Malone in Ruiz and Dempsey's working relationship. The passes that Ruiz set Dempsey free with in the first half were absolutely magic, the free-kick in particular coming when he saw something nobody else did. Equally, there's a bit of basketball in Dembele's play, that extraoardinary free-styling approach work… you know you're watching something special when you can't think of anyone else in football who can do what he does.
Mark Hughes certainly has a chip on his shoulder, doesn't he? That hand-shaking incident just made him look small and silly.
I imagine that Anton Ferdinand and his defence were drilled with "watch Clint Dempsey's runs" until the subject thoroughly bored them. Hughes knows his former team and will have known what he had to do. By and large they did keep Clint quiet.
Funny how we got good at set pieces under Hughes – for the first time in a long time – now we're not so good again. You'd think that the act of crossing and heading home would be outside the realms of coaching, but perhaps not.
A good win, anyway. Jol's approach is now clearer than ever and hopefully he can make it work. If we take a moment to be optimistic there's much to admire about the team as it now stands. There are issues, but there always will be. If Jol can keep us where we have been and get us playing more sorcery football then that's probably okay.

Isolation--New Fragment
[This is a rough draft, done today. This is geared towards one of the plague works; don't know where. I'm going for an isolated, beginning-to-panic, doomed feel here. Let me know if you think I've reached it. This writer/character has been quarantined, either in the house, or the whole town, or both. I have a heavy 1800s to early 1900s feeling for it.]
I watch the abandoned house down the way. Sky-blue paint has faded and peeled off in small sheets, most of which still hang from the wood on the side facing me. It has cracked and fallen in many spots, like a ruptured, leprous face, damaged by the elements. Knotty branches stand as blunt testimony behind it; the grey, unmoving clouds have formed a blanket of shrouded misery, a backdrop of forever, stark against the solid brown-that-seems-black of the naked trees and desolate homes. I find myself fascinated with the house closest to me, on the other side of the lane. The angle of the pointed roof, very straight, very even. Very exact. Crusty snow, perfect whiteness, not the mushy clotted black of the road snow, pushed aside for the carriages. The snow on the house isn't clumpy; just one sheen coat, the rest blown off by the relentless wind. This wind blows wisps of snow across the top; it floats away like smoke, first towards me and the window, then to the right, across the perfectly straight layers, then away from me, floating away into darkness and distance. Odd how the snow wisps away in the wind, but the trees beyond the house do not sway. Nor does the small tree in between this house, and mine. It's as if the breeze is only at house level, not in the air itself. It effects what is closest to me and ignores the largest things, the older, more permanent things.
I can feel and hear the wind forcing its way into the cracks I cannot see in my window casing. I can't tell if it's really happening, or in my distant, cold mind. I think I can hear it, but that can't be. I believe I can feel it against my face, glancing off my cheeks. A quick iciness, then it's warmed away. But my mind, my imagination, doesn't thaw. The cold sits on my bones and hunkers down. I shiver and move a few steps away from the window. I can't take my eyes off the house. I think I see a sliver of blue paint slide off the face and fall out of my view. I cannot imagine it lying on the ground, destroying the perfectly smooth layer of crusted whiteness with its chipped, bluish angularity.
There is no one outside. Everything is dark. I see no one with carrying a flickering candlelight in a faraway window. It seems like there's no one left alive in all of my experience. Maybe there isn't. I want to go out, despite the cold. I want to walk around in the darkness. I want to open my front door. What will happen if I walk out? Will anyone see? What will happen when I open the door? What will I let in?
The small tree in front of me sways now. The wind has picked up. It's come closer. I wonder what it brings with it. I wonder if it will shriek, this wind. I wonder if it will wail. I no longer want to open the front door. I want to curl up into a little ball in the bedroom, on the floor, against the wall, and bury my head within myself, and wait for spring. I wonder, if I survive, how I will know it's all right to go outside. Will someone let me know? Will somebody come to my door? Is there anyone left alive to do that?

Eyebrow Piercing
Professional piercers with years of industry experience, ensuring you a clean and safe eyebrow piercing.
Eyebrow piercing has no known historical origins of religious or social significance. It is simply a decorative piercing which has become very popular in recent times. The jewellery of choice is either a ring or small barbell although a range of spikes and gem set ends are also popular.
Eyebrow piercing does come with a small risk of rejection (the body identifying the jewellery as a foreign object and pushing it out) but this risk can be minimised by the use of high quality jewellery and an experienced Body Piercer.

I'd like to be drunk with power but I've never even been buzzed. I'm like the designated driver of power.
With great power comes great responsibility so I'm pretty carefree.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day; teach a man to fish and he overfishes, upsetting the whole ecosystem. We are all going to die.

Review for AAUW, Washington, DC, USA
My mother was active in AAUW all her adult life. I am happy to carry on the tradition. And, I have been honored to be on both the giving and the receiving sides of the equation. While in college, I received a grant from AAUW which enabled a year of my education. It came at a time that made all the difference to me. Thank you, AAUW.

Monday Wind & Wings – Together we'll spend our day observing the activities above our heads. With our eyes on the skies we'll track the sun, follow the wind, listen for the high chirps of birds or the quiet buzz of insect wings and play amongst the trees.
Tuesday Hide & seek – Who's that hiding in the bushes? Did you see a movement or hear a rustling? Moving stealthily and quietly through nature takes skill and practice. Together we'll learn how to master the art of being unseen.
Wednesday Sprouts & Stems – The fresh greens of Spring draw lots of life. Together we'll explore the world of plants, identify them and their many uses and discover who makes their homes amongst the shady leaves.
Thursday Birds & Bugs – Chirps and tweets, buzzes and clicks, birds and bugs have a lot to say. We'll listen and watch to learn their ways.
Friday Creatures & Critters – Who else passes through the Arboretum? We'll spend the day exploring the park looking for signs, listening for calls and following the tracks.
Laura Goldstone Laura was raised in Selma, California, a small farming community in the central San Joaquin Valley. Her father worked for the National Park service before raising a family, so she and her two siblings spent much of their childhood camping and exploring Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and the surrounding foothills. Laura earned a BA in Fine Arts from Fresno State with plans to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a teacher. She soon found herself thrust into the non-profit education world, teaching art and science for the Fresno Metropolitan Museum, studying at the Institute of Inquiry with the Exploratorium in San Francisco, developing and teaching programs at the San Diego Museum of Natural History, The Rueben H. Fleet Science Center, and many after-school programs in between. She left San Diego to return to her home territories and was honored to work as the Preschool-Programs Coordinator for the San Joaquin Parkway and Conservation Trust. Teaching 4 and 5 year olds along the San Joaquin River is one of her cherished educator experiences. Flowing along from one great river to another, Laura moved to Portland, Oregon. She worked for Trackers in 2013 as their lead coordinator for 4-5 year old camps, which helped spark a desire to learn not just survival, but ancestral skills. In her pursuit of knowledge and practice she stumbled across Rewild Portland, " I saw that table full of bone tools and the most wondrous hand-made items and just knew I would get a lot out of my time with them, I couldn't sign up to volunteer fast enough. I am so thrilled to have found not only an organization with a philosophy that resonates with my own life, but a real community of learners, educators, makers, artists and real visionaries. My life really hasn't been the same."
Peter Bauer has been with the Nature Immersion program for four years. His background is in using the 8 Shields Nature Connection model developed by Jon Young. He has worked with Friends of Tryon Creek, Portland Waldorf High School, Cascadia Wild, Echoes in Time, and is the founder of Rewild Portland. An Eagle Scout and avid outdoorsman, Peter also brings many ancestral skills and wilderness skills to the program, helping children learn camp crafts and outdoor knowledge. He is also the founder and director of Rewild Portland.
Monday through Friday, March 27th to March 31st, 9am to 3pm.
Sign up quick, we have a 12 child Limit! This makes for a 1:6 staff to student ratio which we believe is the ideal.

Assembly sequence planning using case-based reasoning techniques
Future computer-aided-design (CAD) systems will be not only smart, but also efficient in terms of solution strategies as well as time costs. The authors present a problem-solving paradigm, namely case-based reasoning (CBR), and show how it solves some constraint-oriented design problems efficiently. CBR solves a new problem by retrieving from its case library a solution which has solved a similar problem in the past and then adapting the solution to the new problem. The efficiency of such a system relies on the completeness and compactness (small size) of such a case library. These two characteristics of a case library in turn rely on an indexing scheme for the set of cases in the library. They illustrate how these issues can be solved and how to design a case-based reasoning system for such design problems. They present the theory as it is applied to the area of assembly sequence planning

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be working with children?
The House's mission is to provide a supportive home-away-from-home for the families of seriously ill or injured children receiving medical care at area hospitals. While the kids are being well cared for at the hospital, we are caring for the parents and other family members who are here to support the child. Although we will have some patients staying at the House, their condition frequently prevents them from interacting with the general public.
What type of volunteer opportunities does the House offer?
We offer volunteer opportunities for individuals as well as groups. You can volunteer one-time or on an on-going basis. You can support us from your home or at our House.
How many volunteers do you need?
The House is staffed by 13 full-time staff, 10 part-time staff, and over 350 volunteers. Volunteers are the heart of our House and volunteer needs are constantly changing as people's schedules change.
How do I get started volunteering?
After looking over our volunteer information on our website, contact our Volunteer Resources Manager to get additional information about the opportunities that fit your interests and needs. Then depending upon the opportunity you are seeking, you may be asked to complete and submit a volunteer application. Once you have submitted an application, you will be invited to a new volunteer orientation.
New volunteer orientation sessions are conducted in January, March, May, July, September, and November. All new volunteers are encouraged to attend so they have the information they need to represent the House. New volunteer orientation is required for some positions.
What type of training will I receive?
Our Guest Services Volunteers receive 12 hours of basic training over a six week period.
This training is conducted by both staff and veteran volunteers and mostly done hands on.
Training for other volunteer positions is also done hands on during the volunteer's normally scheduled shift.
What hours do you need volunteers?
The Ronald McDonald House of Indiana operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. For the most part, volunteers help 9 a.m. to 12 noon, 12 noon to 3 p.m., 3 to 6 p.m., or 6 to 9 p.m.

WASHINGTON, D.C. More than 1,100 guests gathered Sunday to celebrate women in the arts at the Kennedy Center spring gala, which drew a mix of artists from across genres, including photographer Annie Leibovitz, country singer LeAnn Rimes, jazz vocalist Dianne Reeves, violinist Midori, Broadway legend Chita Rivera, and singer K.D. Lang.
To fete these stars, the Kennedy Center threw a three-part party, starting with a cocktail reception in the grand foyer beginning at 5 p.m., followed by a sit-down dinner and 90-minute performance, with dancing and dessert afterward at the "'Till Midnight Party." The event raised $2.4 million (near equal to last year) with ticket prices starting at $1,000 and tables ranging from $10,000 to $50,000.
A sleek look in a silver palette marked the evening's decor, with bursts of color from spring flowers in bright pinks and purples. In the three dining rooms on the center's upper level, bright floral arrangements and sheer fabric columns, each illuminated in purple, were the focal points.
"Because our space is so unadorned it allows us to make it what we want it to be. We treat it as a black box space," said Leslie Miller, director of special events, who leans on her coworkers to help produce the gala. "We're really lucky. Every department of the Kennedy Center plays a role in the event, so I have fantastic support."
After the dinner of crab salad and seared organic chicken breast, guests walked downstairs to the concert hall to watch the evening's showcased artists. The crowd buzzed about Paris Hilton's appearance at dinner, but the real guest of honor was Michelle Obama, who watched the show from the President's Box and received shout-outs from the evening's performers, including composer Joan Tower and Lily Tomlin, who called Obama an "iconic wonder woman."
After watching the evening's performances, including a hoarse but stirring rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Patti LaBelle, guests traveled back upstairs to the Roof Terrace Restaurant for the after-party. During the performance, the Kennedy Center's team removed dinner tables from the South Foyer, adding leather couches and a dessert bar decked with red velvet cupcakes, macaroons, and strawberry shortcakes. Guests could hit the dance floor to music from the band Sound Connection, have a drink outside on the rooftop terrace despite the misty weather, or head home with their gift bags, which included a silver picture frame donated by premier sponsor Boeing.

About Us
Nelson and Forbes is managed by Deborah Foster, the daughter of a portrait sculptor. When the company started in 2009, her aim was to provide truly wonderful sculpture, handmade by British craftsmen using traditional techniques, at a fair price. She wanted to do this with the sort of customer service that we love to receive, but that seems to be getting harder to find by the day. We still hold these principles very much at the heart of our business.
We carefully select suppliers who share our values and we work with small, artisan British companies, bringing together and supporting the best of British handmade craftsmanship.
We cast only the most delightful sculptures by our artists and package them carefully ourselves in beautifully made gift boxes and luxurious certificates of authenticity. Each piece is carefully protected with layers of foam and a high quality strap around the box, ensuring that it arrives with you in perfect condition.
We make it our priority to ensure that you are absolutely delighted by your solid bronze sculpture. Here at Nelson and Forbes we believe that a gift should bring pleasure from the moment it arrives (especially if you buy it for yourself!).
We want you to thoroughly enjoy selecting your bronze sculpture and making your purchase with us and are delighted to say that we are always available on the telephone if you have any questions. This is a website for a very real company, working in a converted cow shed in Hertfordshire, so please do get in touch as we always love to hear from you.
