Language complexity: Typology, contact, change, edited by Miestamo, Sinnemäki, and Karlsson (2008)
Language complexity as an evolving variable,
edited by Sampson, Gil and Trudgill (2009)
"Again, one can isolate the complexity of a language in phonemics, in morphophonemics, in tactics, etc.; but these isolable properties may hang together in such a way that the total complexity of a language is approximately the same for all languages." (Wells 1954: 104)
Rulon Wells
"There are no 'primitive' languages — all languages are equally complex and equally capable of expressing any idea in the universe." (Fromkin and Rodman 1983: 16)
Victoria Fromkin
"It is a finding of modern linguistics that all languages are roughly equal in terms of overall complexity." (Dixon 1997: 118)
Bob Dixon
II. Language use: Complexity in one area will always be'balanced out' by simplicity in another area.
III. Theory-internal considerations: The nature of UG demands that all languages be equally complex.
Why would anybody want to believe that?
Since language is the quintessential human cognitive faculty, to claim that human languages can differ in complexity is tantamount to claiming that human populations can differ in terms of their cognitive abilities.
"…[S]ome people seem to think that if one language were shown to be more complex than another, then it would follow that the latter language is in some sense inferior, which in turn would entail that the speakers of that language are inferior, and from here we're only one short step to ethnic cleansing." (Gil 2001: 326)
The late twentieth century consensus: equally complex?All languages are equally complexI sympathize with the humanistic argument, but I feel that it is deeply flawed:
The constraints of language use ensure that language change be a series of 'trade-offs', keeping overall complexity in balance.
This is a very old idea.
". . . the means of formal expression are of the utmost variety; they are not to be sought in one department of a language only, but in all; they are scattered through the whole vocabulary, as well as concentrated in the grammatical apparatus. Deficiency in one department may be compensated, or more than compensated, by provision of resources in another." (Whitney 1875/1897: 222)
Case marking tends to correlate with flexible word order (Siewierska 1998). Consider the history of most Indo-European languages, which have lost much case marking, but have developed more rigid order.
Anna Siewierska
Tomorrow KaiusSinnemäki will discuss the trade-offs between case marking and word order.
Complex syllable structure correlates with low tonal complexity (Matisoff 1973).
James Matisoff
Languages that are spoken faster (i.e., that have a higher syllabic rate) tend to pack less information into each individual syllable (i.e., they have a lower information density). So information rates tend to be similar from language to language (Pellegrino, Coupé, and Marisco 2011).
François Pellegrino
And tomorrow HisaoTokizaki will argue that trade-offs between phonology and morphosyntax follow from Universal Grammar.
Elfdalian (a regional language of Sweden) is more complex than Standard Swedish by many criteria (Dahl 2004; 2009). A few examples:
Östen Dahl
According to Gil (2007; 2008; 2009), Riau Indonesian is simple in every component: There is (almost) no word-internal morphological structure, distinct syntactic categories, or construction specific rules of semantic interpretation. Gil claims that Riau does not have more complex rules of semantic interpretation to compensate for its simple morphosyntax.
David Gil
Everett (2005) claims that Pirahã lacks recursion, quantifiers, numbers, colourterms, and much more. Pirahã has a complex morphology, but it is not clear how that would be a 'trade-off' for the other things that the language lacks.
Dan Everett
Why would anybody want to believe that?
If languages are biologically-determined organs, like the liver or pancreas, then how could they differ in complexity?:
"Similarly, if we assume biologically determined guidance [in language acquisition], we need to assume that languages do not vary in complexity." (Moro 2008: 112)
Andrea Moro
And Denis Paperno will argue that if we assume Kolmogorov complexity, then, given the Principles-and-Parameters approach, all languages will be of equal complexity.
Denis Paperno
What about Chomsky? equally complex?
The closest that Chomsky has ever come to claiming that all languages are equally complex:
"If, say, a Martian superorganism were looking at us, it might determine that from its point of view the variations of brains, of memories and languages, are rather trivial, just like the variations in the size of hearts, in the way they function, and so on; and it might be amused to discover that the intellectual tradition of its subjects assumes otherwise." (Chomsky 1980: 77)
Noam Chomsky
See Progovac (2009) (and tomorrow's talk) for an MP-based analysis of unequal complexity.
Ljiljana Progovac
And given some versions of parametric theory, one can hypothesize that certain relations among parameters lead to more complex grammars. Biberauer, Roberts, Sheehan, and Holmberg will discuss this issue tomorrow.
Theresa Biberauer Ian Roberts Michelle Sheehan Anders Holmberg
Peter Culicover will be presenting a construction grammar-based approach to complexity.
Peter Culicover
Overspecification. The overt and obligatory marking of semantic distinctions.
Structural Elaboration. The number of rules (in morphology, phonology, or syntax) or the size of inventories (functional categories, phonemes, etc.).
John McWhorter
Two presentations today will take a grammar-based approach:
Ray Jackendoff
and Eva Wittenberg
David Gil
DeGraff (2001): There has been no theory behind grammar-based complexity. Advocates write about 'rules', 'phonemes', 'cases', etc. without going below the surface. That is, the units of comparison are descriptive and intuitive terms, not the constructs provided by formal theory.
Michel DeGraff
The Nez Perce reservation
In Idaho
Grammar-based complexity is built on the assumption that complexity is necessarily overt. But certain types of grammars might pose more interpretive challenges than others. Walter Bisang (2009) argues that such is the case for Chinese and typologically similar languages.
Walter Bisang
Tomorrow Lisa Matthewson will discuss whether languages can differ from each other in terms of their interpretive complexity.
Lisa Matthewson
And Igor Yanovich will discuss this issue under the label 'expressive complexity'.
Igor Yanovich
Do some grammars (or parts of grammars) take longer for the child to acquire than others?
Dan Slobin (1982) compared children acquiring English, Italian, Serbo-Croatian, and Turkish at 4 age groups. Basically he found that the more form-meaning iconicity, the more rapid the acquisition. So Turkish children learned the morphology rapidly, but aspects of the syntax (e.g. relative clauses) relatively late.
Dan Slobin
Later today, Daniel Ross will discuss the relevance of such features for the measurement of complexity.
Daniel Ross
Do some grammars (or parts of grammars) take longer for the adult learner to acquire than others?
Needless to say, one needs to abstract away from the degree of similarity of the L1 and the L2! But most work devoted to L2 focuses not on 'absolute' difficulty for L2 learners, but difficulty relative to some particular L1 (for an overview, see Herschensohn 2007).
Julia Herschensohn
Jack Hawkins (2004) has developed a way to measure the relative complexity of morphosyntactic constructions, but not the relative complexity of entire languages.
John A. Hawkins
Hawkins' principles:
Markus Bader and Jana Häussler
Andreas Trotzke
We'll find out from Andrea Moro and from Lise Menn & Jill Duffield.
Lise Menn & Jill Duffield
A long tradition maintains that different types of language contact and different types of language identity will affect language complexity. But there is no consensus at all about precisely how.
Alice Harris
Lyle Campbell
Asia Minor Greek lost /θ, đ/ (through merger with /t, d/) and grammatical gender through borrowing from Turkish.
Sarah Thomason
Terence Kaufman
Ma'a lost such marked Cushitic features as ejectives, labialized dorsal phonemes, and the singulative number category through borrowing from Bantu.
Three serializing verbs in Yoruba, ti 'hold', mú 'take', and gbà 'get', have acquired prepositional properties, but at different rates. So ti allows fronting of its complement, but mú and gbà do not. Ti and mú conjoin with verbs, but gbà does not (Givón 1975).
Tom Givón
societies tend to develop complexity.
Icelandic and Faroese, due to their relative isolation, are more complex than Norwegian, which has experienced more contact, which itself
is more complex in many ways than Danish.
NOTE: The L2 learners need not be politically dominant. So Dutch simplified to Afrikaans in South Africa, as a result of contact with Bantu and Koi-San speakers, even though it was the Dutch who dominated socio-politically.
Thanks … and enjoy the next two days! grammatical system

About Me
Hey, there! The name is Todd. I'm a self-taught portrait enthusiast. I'm also into Pet, Macro, Architectural and HDR photography.
My main body of work is from freelance wedding photography. Wedding work has been very dry this year. So, I'm expanding into other genres that you models may specialize in. Contact me now. I'm pretty flexible and can shoot studio or on location.
I'm ready to shoot now! You should be pretty, up to 5' ft 9" tall, proper weight to height and no more than 145lbs. You need some prior experience. You need to know how to pose and take direction. You must be able to do your own MU and hair, though if we chat enough in advance, I can probably get a MUA. I'm shooting most types of glamor, fashion, etc... This will mainly be a TFCD. I'm a night owl for any of you who like to stay awake late...
I'm based out of the northwest side of Chicago. For the sake of building a great reputation, I will only shoot respectfully. My goal is to build a lot of professional relationships and to try to make you look as good as possible.
With my positive attitude and serious dedication, I always give my best and try to get the best from you. My images should give you a good idea that people can be relaxed working with me. Of course, your contributions and ideas will always be welcome. I only request that honest, positive and upbeat ladies inquire. You having previous skills is a plus! I've become skilled shooting many "candid photos" each year with artistic results during my regular work. You being "spontaneous" and "taking the initiative" will definitely assist in creating the shoot we might be looking for. Be relaxed, have fun and feel free to be anybody you want. If you can embrace the child within, great! With these things being said, I'm confident we'll click!

MUNA isn't afraid to be honest. The LA-based band uses their entrancing pop music to contribute to a much bigger conversation – a human conversation. Their debut album is finally here, only a couple weeks after the inauguration, and its fruitful messages are reaching starving ears around the globe.
About U, the mystifying debut from Katie Gavin (lead vocals/production), Josette Maskin (lead guitar), and Naomi McPherson (rhythm guitar/synths/production) is effortless '80s pop on the surface. But dive deeper and find that it touches on almost every kind of emotional roller coaster. Obsessive love and self-hate. Anger and regret. Passion and confusion. Self-identity and internal frustration.
After giving The Loudspeaker EP a few spins, fans had a feeling MUNA's debut album would blend the best of many of their beloved dark pop bands.
But About U goes farther and cuts deeper than any album in recent memory. It's a slick and honest 12-track record that comments on social and political pressures, and the overall beauty and pain of life.
Over the course the album, MUNA offers a fierce perspective on a range of issues and topics, touching on women's rights ("Loudspeaker"), abusive relationships ("Crying on the Bathroom Floor") and a host of others with an unbridled passion.
Most notably, the rallying dance track "I Know a Place" speaks directly to (and for) the LGBT community after the Orlando club shooting. The soaring single offers some hip-shaking relief, but compels persecutors to "lay down their weapon" and start building toward a better society. There's a better place somewhere for us all, "even if it's only in my imagination," croons lead singer Katie Gavin.
The group continues to make remarkable strides in lyrical storytelling, even using "you" to avoid gender-based pronouns. So, in a way, MUNA makes About U – well, about all of us.
Their masterful synthpop captures the highs and lows of what it's like to live and love in a confusing world. It's the personal pop record we all need in these turbulent times.
Turn to About U for an invigorating amount of empathy. Stream the album down below.

Police Officer Jake Gutierrez was shot and killed after responding to a domestic disturbance call at a home on the 400 block of East 52nd Street.
A male subject inside the home opened fire on Officer Gutierrez, fatally wounding him. Other responding officers were able to make entry into the home and pulled Officer Gutierrez from it. He was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his wounds.
The subject barricaded himself inside the home and used two young children as human shields for several hours. He was eventually shot and killed by a Pierce County Sheriff's Office SWAT sniper.
Officer Gutierrez had served with the Tacoma Police Department for 17 years.


text: Let's talk a bit about Thanksgiving meals I realize that Thanksgiving is basically an American holiday, but I thought it might be nice to talk a bit about what we serve and how we fix it. On my blog http://www.chatwithvera.blogspot.com, I have chatted a bit about how I fix the "stuffing" for our meal. I usually fix enough for 20+ and hope I fix enough to go around. :smiley10: Anyway, the idea of how I fix it is given and you can take it from there.

|Respro Masks price cut! Breathing good air is now cheaper!
|Tuesday, 31 August 2010, Written by Julien
Because air pollution levels stay high in China, we pursue our efforts to make clean air accessible to more and more people. With increasing volumes of Respro anti-pollution masks sold every day in China we have been able to lower our costs. We are proud to announce a major price cut on Respro Masks and Filters in China by up to 20%.
Our most popular product, the Respro Techno Mask is now only RMB399, below the RMB400 thresold, and Respro Sportsta Mask is down to RMB389. Metro Mask and Bandit Scarf are even more accessible from RMB279.
In addition, to help you reduce the opertating costs of your Respro mask, we now propose sepcial offers:
All our products are still available in Beijing, in Shanghai, in Guangzhou and all over China, through our distributors and this website (link to the catalogue ).

The North Face Men's Base Camp Lite Sneaker is a canvas shoe for resting your feet in around the campground after a long hike. While running around barefoot is sometimes preferred, the Base Camp Lite protects you from dirt and rocks around the camp site without being a burden. Go sockless in them as the Trek-Dry mesh lining will wick moisture away from your skin and is soft against your foot. The rubber taping along the outside edge is a durable barrier to the canvas from mud and rocks. Clip the shoes to your pack via the webbing loop at the heel and enjoy a day hike.
So sorry, but only 4 items are allowed for comparison, so we're comparing the first 4. I blame the gnomes and so should you.
Would you like to compare the products you have selected now?

Become a Texas State Park Ambassador!
Get outside. Connect with a team. Grow as a leader. Show some love to a state park near you and spread the word that life's #betteroutside!
Who are we?
We are young adult volunteers (age 18-30) who partner with state parks for three projects—service, social media and outreach. About half of us are current university students. The rest of us have other education and work backgrounds. All of us love the outdoors and our Texas State Parks.
What do we do?
We share our love of the outdoors and Texas State Parks! We raise awareness of the parks through social media and outreach. We give back to the parks through service.
How do we begin?
Our journey begins with the Ambassador Leadership Training Adventure, a regional training held three times a year. We spend five days camping, backpacking, hiking, volunteering, and enjoying high adventure fun. We also go through leadership and volunteer training.
Sign up for a regional training near you:
- Gulf Coast: Mid-March March (the first weekend of spring break) at Brazos Bend State Park (to partner with these parks).
- Central-West: July Fourth weekend at Davis Mountains State Park.
- North: November (the weekend before Thanksgiving) at Lake Mineral Wells and Palo Pinto Mountains state parks.
Do you live in another region of the state? Fill out this contact info form to learn about future trainings.
What are our projects?
After the training, each of us partners with a park. Over the next four months, we work with park staff to complete three projects:
- Hands-on service projects. We maintain trails, plant trees, remove invasive species, or help with other park needs.
- Social media projects. We take over the park's Instagram account, tell Snapchat stories, generate park Facebook content, create promo videos, and more.
- Community outreach projects. We table at a nearby event, help park staff with events, or connect more people to our park.
What's next?
Once we've finished our projects, the journey continues. We gather at a statewide Ambassador Summit once a year. There we connect, reflect and take next steps. We continue to advocate for our state parks.
We are always seeking to connect with future ambassadors who believe that life's #betteroutside. If you are an adult, age 18-30, with a love for the outdoors and skills that could serve a nearby state park, we hope our trails connect soon!

There are lots of amazing day and night-time rituals for the skin on your face, but wouldn't it be amazing to follow one for your body for days when you need that extra bit of pampering? This night-time body ritual will do just that!
Long, busy, stressful days leave us with very little energy. And that's when this ritual will help you, as it is not more of work, but more of a way to help you relax and ease all the stress and trouble you may be facing in your hectic life.
And who doesn't like a little bit of pampering every now and then, right? There are a lot of posts focussing on how much care you should take of the skin on your face before bedtime and during the day. But, not all of them mention how much the skin on your body also needs a little help at times.
Yes, the body skin is a lot tougher than the facial skin. And that's why you need to do this just once a week, as opposed to facial skin care, which needs to be done twice a day. Have a look at this important night-time body ritual to follow:
1. Oil Massage: An oil massage for your body is one of the most simple ways to pamper yourself, while ensuring your skin gets well moisturised. Oil massaging helps improve blood circulation in the body and to make the skin glow.
2. Scrub: Your face is not the only thing that needs scrubbing for dead skin removal. Use a mixture of powdered sugar, lemon juice and olive oil to get the perfect skin of your dreams.
3. Clay Mask: A clay mask, in the steps to follow for good skin, can help both the body and the face. Apply a clay mask all over your body once a week to help get rid of the dead skin cells, and dirt and grime sitting on the body skin.
4. Hot Shower: There is nothing quite as relaxing and pampering as a hot shower. Once a week at night does not seem like a lot of time to sacrifice to help ease yourself to this extent, isn't it?
5. Oil: Apply oil once more after you shower to ensure that the moisture stays locked in your skin. This should be a light-weight oil like jojoba oil, which has properties similar to the natural oil of the skin.
6. Moisturise: This is the last night-time body ritual step. Use your favourite moisturiser after you apply the oil to make sure your skin stays well hydrated for a really long time. Do this every week and you wouldn't have to deal with flaky skin ever!

Herbert Smith is set to launch in Germany in early 2013, with Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Munich top of the agenda.
The move follows the collapse of the firm's alliance with German firm Gleiss Lutz and Benelux firm Stibbe, which Herbert Smith pulled out of after the European duo voted against a three-way merger (24 November 2011).
Herbert Smith has set up a committee chaired by global corporate managing partner Patrick Marshall to oversee the plans, with fellow London corporate partner Alan Montgomery also on the team as a project manager.
The committee plans to carry out several visits to Germany to investigate the market, with headhunters understood to be eagerly scouring the German market on the firm's behalf.
Frankfurt is set to be the first location for a launch in early 2013, with Düsseldorf and Munich set to follow as part of a staggered launch. Hamburg is not an initial focus, the firm confirmed.
A non-compete clause contained in the alliance agreement with Gleiss and Stibbe prevents it from launching on the ground in Germany for a year after the alliance ended (28 November 2011). The association was officially terminated at the close of 2011 (22 December 2011).
The German practice will focus on the core areas of corporate, capital markets, finance and litigation, but the number of lawyers set to join the operation is not yet confirmed.
"We're examining the size and shape of Herbert Smith Germany. It's a work in progress," a firm spokesperson said.

I agree with your point about football being way more intriguing than baseball...and I completely understand your desire to jump off the Yankee bandwagon at this point in time. NYY is surely destined to fail in their quest to get back to the World Series, we all know that much.Originally posted by 4HCrew@Jul 30 2003, 07:52 AM
Over the past 10 years major league baseball has become a joke...it is bad enough that only half of the teams have a chance to make it to the playoffs every year but now the perennial fire sales before the trade deadline make it a complete joke. And this is coming from a Yankee fan.... why even have 30 something teams? why even print names on the back of jerseys... To me there needs to be some kind of controls where these fire sales cannot happen....let the gms earn their money by signing the right guys in the offseason...and guess what if you screw up...maybe another team will finally get a chance to win a la the KC Royals or Minny Twins...... I would love to know how there are still fans in Cincy,Pitt, Milwaukee.. this game has been destroyed..
I will continue to watch because I am a Yankee fan and they benefit the most along with Chi and Boston but to me the game is tarnished and once football is in full speed, I could care less..
But are you sure this is going to be your excuse for jumping ship? I mean, unfair baseball economics of all things! It is the unfair advantage of the Yank-mes that drew so many of you bandwagon-hopping frontrunners to the Yankees in the first place...you should have to think of a REAL reason to abandon the Pinstrpied Pansies! I mean, they ruined baseball several years ago...this point of yours is nothing new.
And now, just because they cant make significant mid season deals anymore, and rape someone else of their star players, you want off the bandwagon? You Yankee fans really kill me!

The Rotary Club of Richmond Hill made a donation of $240 to Amelia Iaderosa to support her work on the Burmese border during their March 6 meeting
Club President Larry Barker presented a check to Iaderosa, aged 29. Iaderosa, who is originally from Richmond Hill, dressed in traditional Karen region clothes to receive the donation but also addressed the Rotary Club members about the challenging lives of refugees from the Karen region in Burma living in refugee camps on the Thailand/Burmese border.
The donation will support Iaderosa's "Impacting Lives" campaign and will fund a full year of her cell phone expenses which is vital for her work overseas. Her campaign appeal is designed to pay for return travel to Thailand and fund basic living expenses for her unpaid work with the Karen Women's Organization (KWO) for another year.
"KWO cannot afford to pay salaries or even expenses and the standard of living in this region is very low, even away from the refugee camps where the Karen people have been forced to live for many years," she said. "I am humbled by the work that they do and while I am not changing the world I believe that I can play a small part in rebuilding the trust of refugees whose lives have been shattered. I am extremely grateful to Rotary, and everybody who has made a donation – however small – to help me return to work amongst these people."
Anyone interested in helping sponsor Iaderosa's work can find out more by visiting herwww.indiegogo.com/projects/impacting-lives.

text: It's too easy to get preoccupied with everything Prius automatically does for you, especially with the Multi-Display providing constant performance information. The hybrid system was designed so you could to drive it like a traditional car. That way, you can enjoy the remarkably smooth & quiet ride. Let the computer worry about how to save gas and reduce emissions. New owners sometimes fall victim to this, not being able to figure out why the car won't start. For safety, stepping on the brake before starting has always been highly recommended in all types of vehicles anyway. But in Prius, it is required. Because if you don't, you'll find that only the accessories will power-up. The hybrid system itself won't start until you push the power button while also stepping on the brake at the same time. If you do make the mistake of not pressing the brake pedal far enough to the floor, a collection of warning the lights by the speedometer will come on. In that case, lift your foot off the brake. Wait a few seconds, and then press it again… only harder this time. Wait a few more seconds, and then press the PARK button. That will reset the system If the 12-volt auxiliary battery is ever drained completely, you can jump it similar to a traditional vehicle. With the Prius OFF (hybrid system & lights), connect the positive-cable to the jump-start terminal (within the black plastic fuse-box, under the Prius hood) then to the positive-terminal on the 12-volt battery of the supplying vehicle (as it is running). Next, connect the negative-cable to the negative-terminal on the 12-volt battery of the supplying vehicle. Then the other end of the negative-cable can be connected to an unpainted metal component under the hood; a very good place for this is the support attaching the engine & motor to the body of the vehicle in the front driver's side corner under the Prius hood. At this point, start the hybrid system. When "READY" appears on the Prius speedometer cluster, you should then disconnect the cables following the opposite order they were connected.

Hate preacher Anjem Choudary says UK and the West to blame for Tunisia and France attacks
INFAMOUS hate preacher Anjem Choudary has blamed Britain and the West for the deadly acts of terrorism in Tunisia and France.
Choudary, who has openly said he wishes to travel to Syria and live under Islamic State rule, took to Twitter after Friday's terrorist atrocities.
On Friday at least 37 people – including British nationals – were killed at a holiday resort in Tunisia while a man was beheaded in southern France.
At least 25 people were killed after a suicide bombing on a Shia mosque in Kuwait.
Choudary has laid the blame for the deadly attacks on Western governments.
He said: "The presence of French forces in Muslim countries & insulting cartoons are a cause of instability abroad & a cause of insecurity in France.
"The only solution to the cycle of violence is to withdraw all forces all forces from Muslim land & stop the ideological war e.g. Burqa ban, Charlie Hebdo.
"Following the US regime in its barbaric terrorist campaign in Afghanistan Iraq & Syria will obviously have repercussions #HandsOffMuslimLand.
"David Cameron doesn't want to take any blame for his regime's terrorism in Muslim countries nor for his Gov.t's oppression of Muslims in UK!"
Choudary, who had his passport seized last year as part of his police bail, admitted back in May he wished to travel to Syria and live under ISIS rule.
Following the US regime in its barbaric terrorist campaign in Afghanistan Iraq & Syria will obviously have repercussions
#HandsOffMuslimLand— Anjem Choudary (@anjemchoudary) June 26, 2015
He said: "You know I think it is completely outrageous that anyone nowadays that wants to travel to Iraq and Syria is being treated like a terrorist.
"Not all of them want to fight – some of them want to go and experience the Sharia. Some people are sick of Britain and the prostitution, pornography and the demonising of Muslims – so why shouldn't they be allowed to go and settle where they want."
"I have made it clear I would love to go there [to Syria] with my children. What is wrong with taking my children?
"But I haven't got a passport. Give me my passport and I will hold a press conference at Heathrow Airport and you can wave goodbye to me."

Cancer is the most dangerous disease noticeable throughout the world. The most common type of cancer that affects men is prostate cancer. Prostate is a small exocrine gland situated directly below the bladder and in front of the rectum. This is gland is approximately in size of a walnut and plays an important role in production of a milky fluid during orgasm of sex in which the semen travels. During the climax stage of the prostate gland is forced to push the fluid and remove the semen out of the reproductive structures.
Prostate gland is a slow progressive disease which makes many males left unidentified even the presence of prostate cancer even until they die. 6 out of 100 male over the age of 60 are getting prostate cancer. Though prostate cancer can be cured at a better rate when compared to other type of cancer it is always best to stay protected. Prevention is always better than cure. Here are few tips to keep your prostate healthy.
Signs and symptoms of prostate cancer-
During the early stages of prostate cancer there are usually no symptoms. Most men at this stage find out they have prostate cancer after a routine check up or blood test. When symptoms do exist, they are usually one or more of the following:
The patient urinates more often
The patient gets up at night more often to urinate
He may find it hard to start urinating
He may find it hard to keep urinating once he has started
There may be blood in the urine
Urination might be painful
Ejaculation may be painful (less common)
Achieving or maintaining an erection may be difficult (less common).
If the prostate cancer is advanced the following symptoms are also possible:
Bone pain, often in the spine (vertebrae), pelvis, or ribs
The proximal part of the femur can be painful
Leg weakness
Fecal incontinence
Ways to have a healthy prostate –
Diet and weight – the most important factor is the diet to maintain a healthy weight. Avoid fatty food items and take fats from vegetables than from animals. Avoid dairy products and increase the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Exercise – have a regular practise of doing exercise at least for 30mins a day. This really helps you to keep your body fit.
Be precautious – if you have a family history of prostate cancer or if you feel you are at high risk of getting prostate cancer talk with your doctor about it and take preventive drugs as per the doctor's advice.
Red foods – research shows that men who consume red foods like watermelon, tomato and other red fruits are at lower risk of getting prostate cancer as they contain a powerful antioxidant called lycopene
Caffeine – three to four cups of coffee per day reduces your risk of getting prostate cancer.
- Stop smoking – if you are at high risk of getting prostate cancer it is best advised to quit smoking and alcohol.
One of the most common problems faced by ageing men is benign prostatic hypertrophy. Prostate is the gland at the base of the urethra near the bladder and when it enlarges it can lead to symptoms, mostly related to urination.
- Frequent urge to pass urine
- Prolonged urination
- Frequent nocturnal visits to the toilet
- Intermittent urination
- Difficulty to start urinating
- Inability to completely empty the bladder
- Urinary tract infections
- Blood in urine
There are medications available to manage this, but offer only temporary and partial relief. Many men therefore prefer the surgery to manage these bothersome symptoms. However, like any surgery, the risks and benefits need to be considered along with other conditions like age, overall health status, other comorbid conditions, etc. Surgical removal of the enlarged prostate gland is a more definitive approach to manage these symptoms.
In addition to providing a quick cure, it also is used in the following cases:
- Patients who do not respond to medications
- Refractory urinary retention
- Presence of blood in the urine
- Associated bladder stones or Hernia
- Frequent infections of the urinary tract
- Associated damage to the kidneys
Procedure of Surgery
During the procedure, a tube fitted with camera is passed through the tip of the penis into the urethra towards the bladder neck. Once it is in the desired position, laser is passed through it to deliver energy that acts on the prostate to resect or evaporate it.
There are two methods by which laser acts on the enlarged prostate and making way for free flow of the urine.
- Ablation: Excess prostate tissue is vaporized by the laser by using photosensitive vaporization of the prostate. This is also known as Greenlight laser therapy or KTP laser vaporization. Alternately, Diode or Thulium LASER can be used as the source of laser energy to ablate the prostate tissue.
- Enucleation: Entire adenomatous prostate tissue is cut and teased out into the bladder by using Holmium laser. Morcellator is used to grind this enucleated prostate into smaller pieces to enable easy retrieval.
More men now opt for laser prostate removal as it has the following advantages:
- Reduced risk of bleeding: This becomes essentially important in patients who are on blood thinners.
- Minimal hospitalization: This can be done with minimal one or two days stay at the hospital
- Immediate symptom relief: As compared to medications, the relief is felt almost immediately after the surgery
- Minimal catheter: With laser surgery, a catheter may be required for less than 24-48 hours unlike in open surgical cases.
As noted above, as with any surgery, once enlarged prostate symptoms set in, have a detailed discussion with your doctor to identify if you are a suitable candidate for laser surgery.

Sir I go for frequent urination after drinking water .of 10 mins I like 2 pass so. How to control it?
Benign Prostrate Hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition which results in the enlargement of the prostate gland. The prostrate grand is situated near the Urethra (a tube which helps flush out the urine from the bladder). Generally, the chance of developing BPH increases after one crosses the age of 50. But it is yet unknown as to why some men experience more severe symptoms than others.
Causes of BPH
This condition generally occurs because of old age and affects almost all men above the age of 75. It occurs because of the various hormonal changes and changes in cell growth that the body goes through, as one becomes old. Sometimes BPH can set in due to genetics. If BPH sets in due to genetically reasons, it usually is quite severe and affects men before they reach 60.
Symptoms of BPH
Quite a few men who develop BPH, experience no symptoms at all. But when symptoms of BPH, known as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUT) start, they can be either mild or very severe. The severity of the symptoms is not related to the extent of the enlargement. Many a times men with only a mild enlargement complain about severe symptoms, while men with a highly enlarged prostate gland have not complained about any discomfort faced.
Symptoms of BPH tend to worsen due to cold weather and also because of physical and emotional overexertion. There are certain medicines, which should be avoided if you suffer from BPH, as they have a tendency to worsen your symptoms, for example diphenhydramine, pseudoephedrine, oxymetazoline spray and other antidepressants.
The symptoms of BPH are related to bladder emptying and issues with bladder storage.
Symptoms related to the urine drainage from the bladder are:
- Strain while urinating
- Weak urine flow
- Some dribbling after urination
- Sudden urge to urinate
- Pain while urinating
Symptoms related to storage of urine in the bladder are:
- Waking during the night to urinate
- Urinating frequently during the day and at night
- Sudden urge to urinate, which may be hard to control
It however, has to be kept in mind that these symptoms may not primarily occur due to prostate enlargement, but are the result of other conditions like urinary tract infections, prostatitis, prostate cancer, neurological disorders and even diabetes. Thus, it is essential that you visit a doctor and get the cause for these symptoms diagnosed properly.
Prostatitis is a very common infection of the prostate. However, it is worth to note that prostatitis can also be an inflammation of the prostate without infection. Only 5 to 10 percent of prostatitis is caused by bacterial infection. Prostate cancer does not normally have its chances increased by prostatitis. There are several forms of prostatitis, including acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis and chronic nonbacterial prostatitis (which is also known as chronic pelvic pain syndrome ).
The exact cause for prostatitis is not known, but here are some factors which increase its risk, particularly acute bacterial prostatitis.
Possible causes:
- Medical instrumentation: Putting an instrument like a urinary catheter may well cause prostatitis.
- Rectal intercourse: This is basically another name for anal sex.
- Abnormal urinary tract: The urinary tract comprises of the bladders, kidneys, ureters and urethra. If any one of these organs gets infected, then prostatitis is much more likely.
- Bladder infection: A bladder infection may well spread to the prostate.
Prostatitis has a variety of symptoms. Here are the most common symptoms of prostatitis.
- Constant need of urination: This is one of the most common symptoms of prostatitis.
- Difficulty when urinating: Just like the constant need of urination, difficulty urinating is also a sign that you may have prostatitis.
- Pain while urinating: This is because the prostate gland is a part of your urinary tract and if it does not work properly, there will be pain.
- Chills and fever: This is a rarer symptom, but may indicate prostatitis if it is coupled with the other symptoms.
- Pain in perineal area and genital organs: If you are experiencing pain in genital organs, than it may indicate prostatitis.
- Painful ejaculations or relief of perineal pain after ejaculations: If you are having painful ejaculation or the pain arises after ejaculation, then it may be due to prostatitis.
- Hematospermia: Pinkish or brownish semen.
If these symptoms are persistent or bothersome, then a proper consultation is required. Evaluation includes physical examination along with few simple tests. This can be followed by proper treatment for cure or relief of symptoms.
The main job of the kidneys is to balance the electrolytes in the blood and maintain the pH homeostasis. The kidneys also remove waste products from the blood and boost your metabolism.
To prevent injuries and diseases in the kidneys, you can undertake the following steps to keep your kidneys healthy:
- Hydrate yourself: You need to drink sufficient water to improve kidney function and the ability of the kidneys to flush out the toxins from the body. Drinking at least 6-8 glasses of water will help in keeping your kidneys fighting fit.
- Eat healthy: The kidneys need to be healthy to perform their regular function. In order to keep them healthy, you need to eat the right kind of foods for sufficient nutrition. Include foods such as watermelons, oranges, parsley in your diet for better kidney function.
- Cut down on your salt intake: Consuming too much salt increases the quantity of sodium in your meals. It increases the sodium content in your blood and increases your blood pressure which might lead to the formation of kidney stones.
- Quit smoking: If you want to take care of your kidneys, you must quit smoking immediately. Smoking harms the blood vessels and hampers the flow of blood to the kidneys. When the flow of blood to the kidneys is obstructed, they cannot function properly. Excessive smoking also increases the chances of high blood pressure and kidney cancer.
- Urinate when you need to: Filtration is the most important kidney function as the wastes and water are eliminated through the bladder. Although your bladder is well-equipped to hold in urine for a long time, you start feeling the urge to urinate once it is filled. If you resist the urge, your bladder starts stretching more than necessary and affects the filtration function of the kidneys.
- Engage in physical exercise: A lot of medical practitioners believe that obesity and kidney issues are very closely linked. Being obese increases the chance of kidney injuries. Thus, engaging in some form of physical exercise is advisable as it keeps your weight under check and releases anti-stress hormones.

A person's Moiety can be determined by their mother's side (matrilineal) or their father's side (patrilineal). Moieties can also alternate between each generation (people of alternate generations are grouped together).³
People who share the same Moiety are considered siblings, meaning they are forbidden to marry. They also have a reciprocal responsibility to support each other (4).
Each nation and language has its own term for Moiety. For example, the Yolngu people of north-eastern Arnhem Land are either Dhuwa or Yirritja. In the Yolngu worldview, ancestral beings assigned everything in the universe to either the Dhuwa or the Yirritja Moiety. For example, the black cockatoo is Dhuwa, while the white cockatoo is Yirritja. The two Moieties complement and balance each other; in ceremonies, marriage, and daily life.

And everyone here has made it a great time for me. Just to name a few off the top of my head; scaryalien, jreed, Steven58, LexusBrian, NightAngel and even Piiman have made these forums a place where I truly like to come and help people. And also play around...sometimes Also this is a farewell to my DX. It has brought me some great times but the locked bootloader is too much for me to deal with.

or Cancel
This book brings with it the author's wealth of experience both from having lived as a cross-cultural missionary as well as one who is to this day coaching and mentoring cross-cultural missionaries across Asia. The numerous personal stories and that of Jim's friends and colleagues are a reflection of this. The unique contribution of this book is that it is written by an Asian, from an Asian perspective, with Asian experience, narrating stories and addressing issues of missions in the Asian world. Jim spells out the issues and dilemmas on the mission field and brings a biblical perspective to it. With real life case studies and practical suggestions, Jim brings us into the living room of the mission field. He takes away the mystery of going to the mission field and plants our feet firmly on the ground. Although Jim has written the book for missions and church leaders and prospective missionaries it is also relevant to all of us. Today, in many of the countries we live in, cross-cultural missions is at our doorstep.
About the Author
Jim Chew is the Regional Coordinator for missions in Asia and Pacific Island Nations for the Navigators. Jim and his wife Selene live in Wellington, New Zealand where he serves as an elder in his church. Jim has served with The Navigators since 1963. He graduated with a bachelor's degree, with honours in Economics at the University of Malaya in Singapor . After training with The Navigators in Vietnam in 1960, he ministered with Singapore Youth for Christ. He married Selene and spent a year in the United States with The Navigators. They were the first Asians to be appointed as Navigator Representatives.
They initiated the Navigator work in Malaysia in 1966. After spending four years in New Zealand in the early 1970, Jim directed the New Zealand ministry for a period of time. Returning to Asia, Jim served as Deputy Director for the Pacific Areas Navigators, ministering in Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia. He then directed the work in Singapore from 1981 to 1990. Jim has extensive experience in discipling people as well as mentoring disciplemakers in a variety of cross-cultural contacts. He has also written a book on cross-cultural missions entitled "When You Cross Cultures." In his current capacity, Jim works closely with mission agencies and movements internationally. The Chews are commended missionaries of Bethesda Katong Church Singapore.
"Jim Chew is a disciplemaking missionary at heart! This is vintage wisdom from a seasoned and esteemed Christian statesman. Jim deeply understands the enormous impact of cross-cultural dynamics in global missions today. From contextualisation to the proclamation of the Gospel, from philosophical worldview to emotional adjustments, from discipleship training to tentmaking,
Jim gives us a steady compass to meaningfully engage pertinent cross-cultural issues today. I readily recommend this insightful book - don't leave home without it!"
Senior Pastor, Covenant Evangelical Free Church, Singapore
Author, Built to Last, Growing Deep in God
"No one better understands the issues in cross-cultural ministry than Jim Chew. He is a giant in the field, and for years has been on the cutting edge of Christian missions. Church leaders, including bi-vocational 'tentmakers', looking for practical, down-to-earth, time proven counsel will find it here."

We just returned from an 8 day road trip to Big Bend Texas where we saw spectacular country and the best wildflower show in 30 years. One could almost OD on nature's beauty… The Texas Bluebonnets were 3 ft deep each side of the road and went on for miles. The sides of the mountains and hills were blue and yellow with white dotted here and there. I wanted to stop (which we did often) and just sit in the middle of the blue.
We planned the trip with time to stop every so often as I needed to walk and keep my new knee limber. That let us explore along the way stopping for short walks, looking at birds and flowers, discovering rocks and finding places we might like to visit again.
|Golden -breasted Woodpecker
|Texas Bluebonnet
It took 2 ½ days to get to our destination and 2 ½ days to get home. That left 3 days to explore Big Bend and 4 days to decide where to car camp while traveling. We were able to find secluded campsites as well as a campsite in a Texas State Park (they had a shower!).
|Vermillion Flycatcher
|Greater Earless Lizard
|Prickly Poppies
|Rio Grande
We signed up for distributed camping where we were assigned a primitive campsite on a long dirt/rock road in the Pine Canyon area. We found it in the dark as we drove slowly trying to get the Jack rabbits out of the road. I finally had to get out with the flashlight and walk in front of the truck shooing the critters into the brush as I laughed. They were confused by the headlights.
The stars were brilliant in those dark skies as we looked for the various constellations. By day we explored by truck and on foot and we marveled at the variety of adventures to be had in this park.

Sweet Neighborhood Guide: Dumbo
First things first: it stands for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. Discover what's happening under—and between—the bridges in Brooklyn.
Even though I've spent my whole life in New York City—having been born in Queens and raised in Manhattan—the borough of Brooklyn, for whatever reason, retained a sense of faraway romance for me until I finally moved there after college. But even then, when I lived in its Greenpoint neighborhood, Dumbo—a compact and curious little area tucked between the monumental Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges—was one part of town that still seemed very exotic.
Now I find myself living here with my girlfriend and our ridiculous dog and cat, and I could not be happier. Let me be clear up top: if you're looking for nightlife, this is not the place for you. However, if you're into vintage gear, fantastic bookshops, theater, river views, and the best pizza in town (yes, it's true), then you'll like Dumbo.
I love this little corner of the world and I'm thrilled to be penning this, the first in a new series of neighborhood guides by true locals, which we'll be bringing to you from all over the world. This one's informed by three years in the neighborhood and a lifetime spent in this great city, and I truly hope you come visit—when you do, you'll find me hanging out at one of these places.
Juliana's Pizza
Here's a quick history of pizza as we know it in America: legendary New York City restaurant Lombardi's receives a license to operate as a pizzeria in 1905, making it the very first licensed pizzeria in the United States (and, in case you're wondering: yes, the Pizza Hall of Fame itself recognizes it as such). One of its employees, Pasquale "Patsy" Lancieri leaves to open Patsy's pizza in 1933, where he teaches his nephew Patsy Grimaldi how to make the perfect pie. Grimaldi himself goes on to open a place of his own—named Grimaldi's, naturally—in 1990. He eventually sells it, with plans to retire; but, much like Michael Jordan, Grimaldi can't deny his greatness, nor his urge to get back in the game. To the thrill of pizza aficionados the world over, he opens Juliana's in 2011, and takes back the crown as the Pizza King of New York City. If it's pizza perfected over the course of three generations that you seek, made by a man who can trace his recipes right back to the very first pizza made in America, consider this your Valhalla.
19 Old Fulton Street, julianaspizza.com.
Part gallery and part antiques warehouse, Sinotique is a two-level space within shouting distance of the East River. While it isn't much to look at from the outside, once within you'll feel as though you've stepped right into the closing scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark (if you haven't yet seen this, the best of the Indiana Jones franchise, go do so right now). Owner Jan Lee has spent the last 25 years traveling around the world collecting Asian antiques, and the massive warehouse space is filled with all manner of item, each of which he is more than happy to eloquently expound upon. Leave yourself time to visit his gallery space upstairs, in which Lee showcases work by various artists, along with furniture built in his on-site workshop (antique bamboo being the outfit's material of choice).
70 John Street, sinotique.com.
Powerhouse Arena
Powerhouse Arena is much more than just a bookstore—it's one of New York's literary hubs, home to readings, conversations, book parties, and a publishing imprint of its own. The 5,000-square-foot space has been hosting events with the likes of Joyce Carol Oates, Spike Lee, Al Gore, Anthony Bourdain, and Carrie Brownstein, since 2005; with huge glass windows and views of the river, it's one fantastic place to spend an afternoon.
37 Main Street, powerhousebooks.com.
Brooklyn Roasting Company
Nutty, my six-year-old pit bull rescue, is quite popular with my friends—so much so that one of them even went so far as to pay homage by gifting me a tin of Brooklyn Roasting Company's delicious Rwanda blend, simply because the company describes it as "noble, nutty, sweet, & stout." I've been hooked ever since. The company specializes in fair trade, organic, Rainforest Alliance-certified coffee beans that they roast in-house, in small batches. Swing by—and please, feel free to raise your cup to Nutty, should you feel so inclined.
25 Jay Street, brooklynroasting.com.
Front General Store
I come here to buy wallets, candles, winter coats, keychains—anything I might ever need, really. Front General Store has a wonderfully defined sense of style, and is an expertly curated take on classic, mid-century American vibe. Varsity jackets, antique pins, military garb of all kinds—this is another place I regularly get lost in for hours.
143 Front Street, instagram.com/frontgeneralstore.
La Bagel Delight
Bagels are, of course, a hotly debated topic among New Yorkers. Here in Dumbo, we are lucky to have the finest the city has to offer. Walk into La Bagel Delight on any given morning, and just ask any employee which bagels have just come out of the oven. At the risk of stating the obvious: freshly cooked bagels require no toasting! Simply add the toppings of your choosing and enjoy. (I wholeheartedly recommend their Nova Spectacular, which comes loaded with lox, cream cheese, tomatoes, capers, and onions—it lives up to the billing, especially when served on a fresh everything bagel.)
104 Front Street, labageldelight.com.
Almondine is a classic French patisserie, and one step through its doors will trigger any and all wondrous sensory memories of Paris lingering in your mind. (I often can't resist the urge to pop my head in and breathe it all in when I'm walking by.) If you're in the market for a flaky croissant, delicious quiche, or exquisite sweet treat, grab something here and eat it while gazing out at the river on one of the park benches awaiting you a mere 30-second stroll away.
85 Water Street, almondinebakery.com.
Jane's Carousel/Brooklyn Bridge Park
This beautiful 48-horse carousel was built in 1922 for use in Idora Park, an amusement park in Youngstown, Ohio. When that park closed down, the carousel was sold at auction and promptly moved to Brooklyn for restoration. Since September 2011 it's lived in Brooklyn Bridge Park, encased in a rectangular glass structure designed by famed French architect Jean Nouvel. Take a look—or maybe even a ride—before strolling the glorious grounds of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where you can spend an entire day walking on the banks of the East River. Also of note: It's the first carousel to be included on the National Register of Historic Places.
Off Old Dock Street, janescarousel.com.
St. Ann's Warehouse
Since 1980, St. Ann's Warehouse has been Brooklyn's home for all manner of forward-thinking performance, hosting productions by Lou Reed and John Cale, the Coen brothers, and the Globe theatre, to name just a few. It kicked off its first season in its new permanent home—in Dumbo's historic Tobacco Warehouse—just last year, and is currently staging a performance of the classic Tennessee Williams play, A Streetcar Named Desire, starring Gillian Anderson, Ben Foster, and Vanessa Kirby.
45 Water Street, stannswarehouse.org.
Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory
Opened in 2001 in what used to be a fireboat house, the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory sits right at the mouth of Brooklyn Bridge Park, just steps away from the East River, on Brooklyn's oldest ferry landing. (It was still known as "Brookland Ferry" when George Washington decamped there after the Battle of Long Island in 1776, the first major battle of the Revolutionary War to occur after the U.S. declared independence that July) Grab a cone—you won't go wrong with their vanilla chocolate chunk—and walk out onto the pier, where you'll catch sight of the Manhattan skyline. It never gets old.

Compressed weatherstripping
A home owner from USA says:
September 30, 2014
I am somewhat convinced that this weatherstripping is your 58-008 compressed kit. What do you think? Let me know ASAP. Thank you for your assistance.
Paul from SWISCO responded:
October 1, 2014
I agree, this looks like one of the kerfs from our 58-008 set. Just make sure the dimensions match.
