Today, after a missing the last reasonably-priced train to Milan for the day, we decided to mix things up and pick a city from the list that was relatively inexpensive. Minutes later we were boarding a train for Ferrara, a small city between Bologna and Venezia. I had read about Ferrara in books and studied the famous Este family, that had ruled over the city during the Renaissance, so I knew some about the area before we arrived. Without maps, city guides, or any sort of orienting material, we made it from the train station in the suburbs to the city center by following the city buses and general traffic routes.
In the middle of the city there is the Castello Estense, a moated medieval castle built in 1385 to protect the Este family from riots by the commoners. In addition, the Cathedral of St. Giorgio is nearby, completed in 1135 and featuring a marble Romanesque facade and an elaborate Gothic interior. Beyond these most noteworthy, the city holds countless notable buildings, as it served as the court of the powerful Este family for hundreds of years. It was the birthplace of or an important destination for many notable personages, including author Giorgio Bassani, artists Leon Battista Alberti and Titian, zealous preacher Girolamo Savonarola, and musicians Frescobaldi and Josquin des Prez, among others. The city not only has a remarkable heritage and a beautifully organized Renaissance layout, but holds the genuine charm of a true Italian city, still under the tourist radar for the most part.
We discovered that the entirety of the city travels by bicycle. We saw two or three cars during our entire journey, and people looked at us when we were walking instead of pedaling through the side streets. In the evening the main square was buzzing with activity, with the markets selling handmade leather goods and crafts, families having a meal, a wedding reception being held nearby, and the bars brimming with young people gathering for aperitivo. I would wholeheartedly endorse Ferrara, but the more people that visit the higher the likelihood of its authentic charm being diminished.
If you do go, I recommend blending as much as possible in order to enjoy this truly remarkable city.

text: Hi all, I have just won a great freelance job for a very successful cafe (they have won a lot of food awards and are very 'hip'). I have completed work for them on a rebrand and a menu design, and some window decal. All charged (although I have gone about 5 hours over). They recently asked me to 'throw' an invitation together, which i have done as a gesture of goodwill. However now they have got in touch asking 'if I want a beer bottle label on my CV'. I.E, another job for free. I really want to keep the relationship as there is a great possibility of future work (they are opening another branch and are writing a cookbook) but I don't want to be taken the mick out of either! Also, the beer is getting made at a local brewery (that I have also recently pitched for work for) so it's all connections. I am thinking of going back to them and saying if they know what they want, I will do it half price. I am currently only charging £30 an hour, £210 a day, I am thinking I need at least 2 days on it. So £200 half price. But I don't want to lose the job. How would you handle it? Thanks, Mandy

Casting Tidbits: Gwyneth Paltrow, Martin Lawrence & Many More
by Ethan Anderton
November 8, 2009
Run, Casting Tidbits, run! First up, Variety reports that Gwyneth Paltrow is joining Nicole Kidman in the semi-recently announced project The Danish Girl, an adaptation of David Ebershoff's novel to be directed by Thomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In). The story revolves around a man's transsexual metamorphasis after his wife, a portrait painter, asks him to stand in for an absent female model. Nicole Kidman plays the sex-changing husband Einar Wegener, while Paltrow will portray his wife Greta, who stood by her partner through the sex-change operation, finally letting go when she realized the man she married was gone.
Red Snow
Blood-splattered snow is in sights for Ray Winstone, as THR reports he is set to star in star in stuntman-turned-writer/director Stuart St. Paul's thriller about an ex-SAS officer tracking down his missing daughter in the snow forests of a remote town in northern Canada. The story is based on a true story of a serial killer in Alaska whose killing spree hit the headlines in the 1980's. Hopefully it'll be better than this year's Antarctica-set bomb Whiteout, which as far as I can tell was about villainous snow as well.
Variety reports that Goran Visnjic (of NBC's "ER") is joining Ewan McGregor, Melanie Laurent and Christopher Plummer in this indie drama. While production is underway in Los Angeles, with Mike Mills (Thumbsucker) directing from his own script, the logline is being kept under wraps. If we hear anything about the plot, we'll send an update your way, but until then, just assume it's about learning to ride a bike.
Sheneneh and Wanda
Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence will strap on some high heels as Variety reports they'll star in a comedy playing female characters they developed during their stand up comedy days. Sheneneh and Wanda are modern day independent women trying to make it on their own, one bank robbery at a time. Foxx will write the script and Lawrence will produce after a strong response to a parody of a movie trailer for a fake film called Skank Robbers. And obviously a feature length film made from a short always sustains itself as we've seen from Saturday Night Live's success with Superstar, It's Pat and The Ladies Man (heavy sarcasm).
That's all for this Monday morning edition of Casting Tidbits! Stay tuned for many more casting updates!

Advanced Grant from the European Research Council to project headed by Harald Stenmark
Harald Stenmark from the Department of Biochemistry at the Institute for Cancer Research has recently been awarded an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC), amounting to 2.27 mill Euro over a period of 5 years for running the project "The PI3K-III complex: Function in cell regulation and tumour suppression".
The ERC is the new initiative from EU to support basal research. In contrast with ordinary EU announcements, ECR funding is solely based on scientific quality, and any field of research may apply.
Only four Norwegians were awarded ERC Advanced grants in the first application round. In addition to Harald Stenmark, the recipients were Eiliv Lund (cancer epidemiology, Tromsø), Edvard Moser (memory research, Trondheim) and Bernt Øksendal (mathematics, Oslo).
About the project:
The PI3K-III complex: Function in cell regulation and tumour suppression.
Interactions between proteins and cellular membranes are essential for most physiological processes, but we still know little about how the functions of cytosolic protein complexes are coordinated with membrane rearrangements.
In this project, the functions of a cytosolic lipid kinase complex (PI3K-III) and its membrane-bound reaction product will be characterized in-depth in order to understand how these molecules function in membrane dynamics and tumour suppression.
The project involves thorough biochemical characterisations of the lipid kinase complex, in situ imaging of its reaction product using novel assays, detailed cell biological studies of relevant trafficking and signalling pathways, and novel Drosophila models for oncogenesis.

DUGAN CREEK. Dugan Creek rises three miles southwest of Oklaunion in north central Wilbarger County (at 34°06' N, 99°11' W) and runs northeast for ten miles, passing through Oklaunion before reaching its mouth on the Pease River, five miles northwest of Elliott and a mile south of the Oklahoma state line (at 34°11' N, 99°08' W). During the 1870s a spring located on the stream was known as Kilmartin or St. Andrews. It was once a substantial water source and an Indian campsite, but by the late 1970s it had diminished to a small seep. Dugan Creek traverses low to moderately rolling terrain. Its basin, which is composed largely of sand, supports sparse vegetation including grasses and nongrassy herbs.

Tomlin optioned to Columbus; Masterson to start for Tribe on Friday
With the trade deadline less than a week away, there is more tinkering to the Indians' rotation.
Zach McAllister has been recalled and will start tonight's game at Kansas City. To make room for McAllister, Josh Tomlin has been optioned to Columbus.
Manager Terry Francona also told reporters before the game that Justin Masterson has been penciled in to start the Aug. 1 series opener against Texas.
Masterson went 6 2/3 innings for Columbus in its 5-2 loss to Norfolk on Friday. Masterson, who threw 108 pitches (62 strikes) allowed five runs on four hits with six walks and four strikeouts. The velocity on the right-hander's fastball was still a little off and there were periods where he struggled on command of his slider and sinker.
"We talked to him today twice. He feels good about himself," Francona said of Masterson. "He feels much better about attacking the strike zone. When he comes back, he's back. He was pretty strong in his opinion that he was ready."
McAllister started last Saturday's game at Detroit, going 5 1/3 innings while giving up a run and striking out six. The right-hander was 3-4 with a 5.89 ERA in his first 10 starts before being placed on the 15-day disabled list on May 22 with lower back inflammation.
Tomlin has gone 5-7 with a 4.47 ERA in 15 games with 14 starts since being recalled from Columbus on May 6. Tomlin started off strong with three straight quality starts but has lost five of his last six decisions in his past eight starts dating back to June 12.
"We weren't thrilled about doing it," said Francona about optioning Tomlin. "Josh means so much to what we are doing but it made sense. We explained it to him and we'll move forward."
Take away the one-hitter against Seattle on June 28, and Tomlin has an ERA of 6.99 in that span.
The right-hander has allowed 16 home runs this season, including two in a 6-4 loss to the Royals on Friday where he had a no decision. The 16 home runs allowed are tied for ninth most in the American League.
Said Tomlin after Friday's game: "I need to use my changeup more in the zone. I have to get back to throwing quality strikes as opposed to leaving the ball over the middle of the plate."
To say that the Indians rotation is in flux would be an understatement. The only two starters who have been consistent lately are Corey Kluber and Trevor Bauer. McAllister has thrown well since being sent to Columbus but had a rough stretch in May. Besides Tomlin, T.J. House was also sent to Columbus earlier in the week.
The Indians' rotation goes into tonight's game with the third-worst ERA in the American League at 4.38 and second-lest wins at 28.
Danny Salazar will start Sunday's series finale against the Royals. Following an off day on Monday, Bauer will start Tuesday when the Indians open a three-game series against Seattle followed by Kluber on Wednesday and McAllister on Thursday.

Acknowledge your feelingsBy Maria Erving
Allow yourself to have the full human experience by letting your feelings be without getting entangled in them.
We keep ourselves in bondage when we bottle things up or repress our true feelings.
Instead of falling into the ego trap of believing that a perfect life is about always being happy and joyful, why not allow yourself to feel pissed off or sad if you are.
The second you allow yourself to feel the emotions, they will pass through you and simply disappear into nothingness.
Feelings are only "stuck" for as long you resist them, deny them, or pretend to feel otherwise.
But the moment you can say "Yes, I'm pissed off!" or acknowledge any other so called "negative" feeling it flows through you quickly and is released within seconds.
And then a new feeling comes.
It might be a feeling of relief, or even happiness; whatever comes up next simply let those feelings too just flow through you.
Feel whatever you feel without making it wrong because that's where the suffering comes from.
Suppressing our feelings is the same as avoiding life.
This does not mean we should act on all feelings or lash out towards others.
It just means to simply express how we feel either by acknowledging them to ourselves or by sharing them with another person verbally but without any emotional drama.
It's really about taking responsibility of our own stream of consciousness and acknowledging the moment as it is.
No drama whatsoever needed. No need to pretend, avoid or hide, but to simply let the feelings flow through you.
Feel the space it creates in you to do this compared to when you're identified with the feelings and emotions.
One state is open and the other one is closed and tense. Can you feel it?
Try it now.
Take a feeling you don't like and that you are experiencing in your life at the moment.
It might have something to do with being annoyed or irritated with someone or something, or maybe you're sad and feel vulnerable.
Whatever it is; feel it and experiment with how it is to allow the feeling to be (by acknowledging it) and then switch back into resisting it and making it wrong and undesirable.
Feel the difference between being able to breathe freely and by having the body all tensed up.
Make an effort to reeeeally resist the feeling and make it really, really wrong, and then let go!
Release the resistance and feel the relief when you simply let the feeling be.
Does it still feel as heavy and burdening?
As you do this you will be able to move forward from a different emotional state because you see clearly that you have actually something to say when it comes to how you experience life.
When we open ourselves up like this we are immediately able to see the whole drama from a different perspective and then there's space and openness and you can breathe freely again.

Kristen Massey says:
I've lately been struggling with the back and forth you describe. The past few years have had great momentum in terms of moving closer to Truth. At times I am completely able to allow what I am feeling with no judgment, and even "unpleasant" emotions feel oddly good to feel. Other times, in particular with fear, I feel my being constrict around it, resist it, and tell me that to feel it is to create more of it and if I feel it, I will manifest what it is lying to me about.
Part of the struggle here is that I grew up in an evangelical Christian setting. Casting out "demons" and "Resisting" the devil were common practices. If I were to tell those parts of me that still believe in those doctrines to "sit with" my fear, they yell back that I am believing the devil and, essentially, that I'm doing it wrong. I must resist and fight the devil. I must tell that demon to leave! Lest I be stuck with it's affliction forever.
Curious your thoughts here. Thanks!
Kristen Massey says:
As an addition… things that feel confusing for example are people who exercise faith healing or even Jesus himself. I don't imagine him to have "Accepted" the illness or the death or felt anything about it at all except that it wasn't real. I think maybe that's where I get myself confused. I KNOW, for example, illness isn't real, but yet I FEEL like it is, and in feeling it, tell myself that I denying ultimate reality and need to stop feeling that.
You will definitely suffer more when you resist the fear that is arising instead of allowing it do be but not indulging in it.
It only creates turmoil within you when you resist it or try to deny it.
Your emotional and mental state is affected by how you respond to the feelings that arise and that then in turn affects how you experience the present moment.
Because feelings are always moving and only stuck when resisted so as soon as you stare fear in the face and actually want to see it, it shrinks.
It's not really that powerful at all, it's just pretending to be.
And because of your beliefs that tells you that you're creating things just because you think of them, the fear increases;
You've become afraid of feelings and thoughts and try to desperately control them but something to realize is that anyone who doesn't share that belief is not afraid of their feelings and thoughts.
With this said; I understand where you're coming from, and I understand the way of thinking.
I used to teach the law of attraction many years ago and I remember seeing people pretend a lot, and avoid a lot.
Because they thought that they always had to be happy and all about "love and light" etc in order to "create" and "manifest" whatever it was that their ego's wanted at the moment.
So I saw a lot of phony people, people who were secretly suffering while at the same time having a happy facade while they were running as fast as they could away from anything that was even slightly uncomfortable (such as real transformation).
I also remember some people in some spiritual circles that refused medical care for illnesses because they thought they could just 'think' it away and pray to God etc.
That's how messed up people's thinking is and all this is the spiritualized ego operating in their lives without them being aware of it.
These people are usually petrified inside, and all they're trying to do is to escape their feelings, their turmoil and so on, by avoiding, hiding, running from and pretending that everything is okay when it's not.
They are not acknowledging their emotions and instincts, intuition etc because they think that being 'evolved' means only having good feelings all the time.
That's not the full experience of how it is to be a human being.
Yes, there's joy, happiness and all that, but the biggest thing that you experience is that you have emotional and mental freedom where you're not affected negatively by feelings and thoughts as they come and go.
You don't identify with that anymore. It's no longer horrible to experience a "negative emotion".
The ego on the other hand does identify with feelings and thoughts, and very strongly so, so anything that does not 'feel good' is made wrong.
But for someone who has awakened, all feelings can come and go as they please, there's no holding on to any of them and they are not made wrong.
If sadness arise, cry. If anger comes up, address the situation, if happiness is felt, laugh.
It's really not complicated at all.
Moving on,..
Just as all the gods we create and have in the world (and there are thousands and thousand of them), so do we also create devils, trolls and Santa's.
It's all a play of your consciousness, so as long as you believe that there is a power called the devil, then that's what you will experience.
(Same if you believe in Santa; then that will be your reality for the time being until you wake up/outgrow it).
So in that regard you are creating your own experience of life, but it's not really 'you' who create it (and it's not your real life), it's your ego and its life, and when you've seen through your ego, you can't have any beliefs anymore.
It literally becomes impossible.
It's just not possible to have any beliefs anymore, and it's not relevant in any way to ever again form any new beliefs again either.
They are completely pointless. You don't even need "faith".
To break free from the chains belief-systems create, you need to look closely at the one who believes in these types of things.
It's not about creating better thoughts and adopt better beliefs and all that, but to see clearly who it is that entertains them and believes in them in the first place.
Then you will become free.
Religious beliefs are very powerful, and to me looking in from the outside, that's the real 'devil'.
It's religion and other spiritual beliefs that is the real evil in this world.
They keep people in bondage and fear more than anything else.
Something that I recall now that I think is helpful for you to hear is an experience I had that happened some years ago.
I don't remember if I woke up in the middle of the night or if I had just gone to bed but I was laying there and suddenly I was struck with enormous, crippling fear and I saw (with my eyes) a "devil" (a Satan-looking creature) hovering above my body.
I was petrified and frozen with fear, but then I started to say within myself and looking straight in its face that "I'm with Truth now, I'm not afraid, I'm with Truth, there's no need for me to fear, I'm with Truth" etc.
And as I did this I was instantly overtaken by an immense feeling of inner peace and love and the "devil" lost its power and evaporated/vanished into the air.
I have also had an Angel come to me and embrace me when I was fifteen and was going through some tough times (I had been raped and was cutting myself etc).
It was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life being held by this angelic creature and I have never felt such love, ever, not before nor after the experience.
It was divine, out of this world.
Now, after my awakening, I see clearly how these things were created by consciousness/Life itself, that they are but aspects of ourselves.
This does not diminish the experiential aspect of it, it felt as 'real' as anything else in this life and I cherish the Angel meeting, but I also know that had I lived in India for example, some other 'creature' would have appeared instead of a devil or angel.
It depends on your cultural influence, social influence, upbringing, etc etc etc.
So for you to believe in casting out demons and so on; it's only true for you and those alike you (who share your religious beliefs) but once you become free from them, you're liberated and can experience life as a free being.
Look very deeply into the beliefs you hold and start dissecting them one by one without shying away when a fear comes up when you look at a specific belief.
For example;
What if you didn't "resist and fight" as you've been taught to respond and react?
Would you be willing to explore how that would be and what would happen (even if your fear/ego screams at you to not go there)?
Or will you continue believing that you have to "resist and fight" because your beliefs (fear-chains) tells you to do so?
And if you continue, look at what it's bringing you, what do you get out of it that is beneficial for you and how does it add to your emotional and mental well-being?
Be real with yourself.
How is it adding something valuable to your life experience to live in constant fear of fear itself?
To know something differently, we must do and act differently and we must be willing to go into unknown and previously unexplored territory.
The Bible also says "resist nothing", but people tend to pick words and phrases here and there that fits into their set of beliefs and that makes their ego feel good and righteous (and in control).
Moving on to your second comment:
We don't know if Jesus has ever existed and exactly what he said or did so let's not even discuss that.
What the Bible says Jesus did or said was written by multiple people and not even in his lifetime so it's all hearsay and rumors that has gone from one mind to another.
To me you are "Christ", you are the Buddha, and so on, and if Jesus ever lived, he was also a man, just like you are a woman.
In other words, a human being.
There's nothing more exceptional about him than there is about you.
The only difference there is is that he had awakened, and you're still asleep.
He might have had the gift of being able to heal, but so have other human beings who are alive today too.
When/if you awaken you too will see that nothing is inherently wrong, but it has nothing to do with beliefs. It's not something you merely believe.
So when you say that you "know" that illness is not real, that is your ego talking and "knowing"=believing.
A true knowing is not confusing at all, it's very clear and obvious, so I suggest you look deeply into that belief too.
How do you actually "know" that illness does not exist?
What exactly does that mean?
And if you got cancer for example, would you not 'accept' that as a reality and seek medical help to heal it?
It's very important to be completely honest with yourself when you look into your beliefs and don't stop until you've seen 100% through them.
Even someone that is awakened would get their leg fixed if it broke!
I think that would feel very 'real' to any human being (or living being for that matter), wouldn't you agree?
Healing is healing, call it what you want, label it as you wish.
"Faith healing" sounds good to Christian people, "energy vibration healing" sounds good to new age people and so on.
To me healing is healing whether it's a doctor, dentist, Reiki healer or massage therapist or a counselor.
They are all healers in their own way and it's practical to use some kind of labels so that we can communicate what it is that we're offering, but other than that labels are useless.
Just concepts and ideas that limit and restrict us and put us into boxes.
Even a bartender who listens to someone's life stories over a drink at the bar is a healer, or a mother who blows on her child's knee that is bruised, she's a healer too.
Anyone who is capable of loving and caring is a healer in their own way.
If you remove the label and simply enjoy or use what is available to you, then life become so much simpler and you can benefit from whatever it is without making anything (or anyone) more special than it is.
It's by thoroughly dissecting everything that stands in the way of your awakening that ultimately will liberate you, and those things are all about the belief you hold.
Ask yourself:
What is the "ultimate reality" to you, what meaning does it have?
Does it only include some beliefs and exclude others?
And why does it only include 'this' belief or experience and not 'that' (that someone else has or that is undesirable).
These are some of the questions you should ask yourself when you inquire into Truth.
See how the ego is trying to make everything fit nicely into its own little perception on life, even the concept of "ultimate reality" does it try to control and mold to its liking.
I's a funny little creature, the ego 🙂 Very entertaining to watch sometimes.
Ganesh Shevate says:
Very True..Maria !!
The ego is really a funny little creature..!
Here is a question.. Does ego get purified through meditation or other types of sadhana like chanting etc. and will this doing lead us to awakening ?
Best Regards,
@Ganesh: The one asking that question IS the ego.
I've said it to you many times before to look into that but you seem not to have done that so you're still thinking you are the person on the spiritual path wanting to awaken.
But that's not who you are, that's the ego doing all those spiritual things, practices etc.
The ego is the one who tries to purify itself and the ego is the one who wonders if chanting will help reach enlightenment etc.
That's the ego, but the ego will never 'reach enlightenment' or awaken.
This is the only question you need to ask yourself and 'search' the answer to (within yourself, not through teachers and books etc!):
"Who am I?"
Who are you, Ganesh?
Another question to ask yourself Ganesh, is "why would I want to purify the ego? What would the purpose of that be?"
See it a little bit like this: Would you try to make the image in the mirror look better or more this or that ("purified", "spiritual" etc), and what would be the point in doing that..?
It would be like thinking you're washing your face by splashing water onto the image in the mirror.
You're looking in the wrong direction.
Turn within, don't stare at the image in the mirror thinking that that's you.
That's not you, it's a mirage, an illusion.
If there's still something that is unclear in my pointing then feel free to share your thoughts if you'd like to, and maybe I can then pinpoint even more clearly where the ego is obstructing you from Truth.
But it's really very simple; look deeply within and forget about making yourself anything at all.
Forget about purifying yourself, chanting etc etc etc. Stop all that.
Because no matter how hard you try, all you're doing is that you're going around in circles with your ego and it is leading you further and further away from that which is true and real.
So stop the purifying, chanting, and even reading and listening to things for a while and instead go within and listen to what is being said directly to you from there.
Ganesh Shevate says:
Hi Maria..
Thank u for your kind cooperation.
You know, I realized myself many a times in meditation. at that time, I realized that there is nothing two but only one and that one is ME..!
Then there is tremendous joy.. peace..!
From another perspective.. I feel that the whole universe including my body is within me. There is no duality from me to th surroundings.
But Ohh..
After two or three days later… again the me & you episodes get started and again I think myself as a person.. who is doing this & that..!!
Please help me.. Maria..!!!
What is your question Ganesh?
If you're wondering how to be able to stay in that 'state' forever (as many ask me that same question), the answer would be to just forget about it.
It's just an experience, and those types of experiences (of bliss, oneness, ecstasy etc) are simply experiences and not the same as "enlightenment" or awakening.
The ego thinks that that must be what it's like always, but it's not like that at all, so forget about trying to stay in an experience.
Can you for example have an orgasm that lasts forever and ever? No, because that too is an experience.
Even if the spiritual experiences are beautiful and profound and can alter your perception of life and so on, they are merely experiences and nothing to seek or try to get into and 'stay in'.
Was this what you needed help with, or what is your question?
Here's an old article of mine too that can be helpful to you:
Ganesh Shevate says:
Thanks Maria,
I am satisfied with the answer..!!
Best Regards,
Ganesh Shevate says:
Hello Maria..
I want to share something with you here.
Recently found that, the aloof cool stableness in this body, mind structure is the real ME.
This stableness is not concerned at all with the highs, lows, happiness, fear.. etc.etc. present in this structure.( though sometime flickering fear is there for just nanosecond..because this is all new but still homely place)
Again & again sensing this stableness through this stableness only, realizes that this stableness is the only real.. and unbound from anything out there.
Mind is chattering as usual but this could not affect ME anymore. Aloofness is always there. Don't know what is going on.. but it provides relief.. relief.. and relief.
For you Maria.. a very big thank you.. and deep gratitude.. for supporting and encouraging always. LOL..!!
I don't feel realness in your comment Ganesh. I think your ego is fishing for high fives.
Keep going deeper.
Who sees the "ME"?

Cat found with 2 pounds of matted fur that looked like dreadlocks
- by Douglas Reid
- in Health Care
- — Dec 25, 2016
While she needed a general anaesthetic to enable the veterinary team to take off the fur, she has now fully recovered from her ordeal and the 14 year old is living along with the second cat with Mr Russel and hsi family.
The forgotten feline was delivered to a Pittsburgh, P.A., animal shelter last week after its elderly owner with Alzheimer's neglected it. I thought, 'My god this is a cat.'"The cat, named Hidey, was taken to the shelter after her elderly owner moved to a nursing home".
Years of neglect has left a pet cat named Hidey with a severe case of matted fur, which eerily resembled a human's braided hair also known as "dreadlocks".
'She will be cared for by a distant relative of her previous owner & finally have a chance at a happy & healthy life.'
When he first saw the animal, he thought the cat was running around with a blanket on top of it until he got a better look at it. "The house was still open, so I went down and left some food for the cat until we figured out what we're going to do".
Wintry Holiday Weather Expected to Blanket US
From Port Townsend to Brinnon, little or no snow accumulation is expected Friday or Saturday, the NWS reported Friday morning. A storm blowing out of the Four Corners region will bring heavy mountain snow over the next 24 hours.
"'So I started searching around, and suddenly this huge creature darts out from under the bed and runs down to the cellar, and I thought, 'What was that?". "But no - it turned out to be Hidey".
"The cat came in with years and years of mats and grime all over its body", the Western P.A. Humane Society posted to Facebook. "I've been dragging her out, and holding her, and she purrs a lot". I'm down there with a flashlight looking - it was nearly like a horror movie. The next day I went into the creepy old cellar and it was hunkered in a corner. Hidey is also overweight, which can make grooming hard.
Meanwhile, Paul Rusell, the relative who discovered Hidey and brought her to the facility, shared how he stumbled upon the freakish-looking cat.
Her new owners say she used to hide under the bed at first, but now she's enjoying her fur-less freedom. So she's starting to work her way to see people more.

Forget Robot Wars – meet the biggest, baddest deadliest bots around
MEGABOTS makes the recently revived BBC show looks like Songs of Praise in comparison.
Video has emerged of Team USA testing out huge deadly weapons on its robot in preparation for a big showdown with the Japanese.
The Megabots team has been building the most advanced and lethal robot the world has ever seen for the past year and a half.
And in order to prove that, they have built a replica Japanese robot and pitted it against their behemoth of a machine that happens to be armed to the teeth.
The result is a video of an epic contest between bots the size of lorries battling it out.
The video shows the sheer destructive power of the machine the USA team has built.
Its drill can skewer a washing machine while the cutters slice through a tree trunk as if it is barely there.
And the chainsaw makes short work of the Japanese copy's armour plating.
Meanwhile a Game of Thrones sex robot is about to be launched.
But one expert has warned of the dangers of using sex robots.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Prussia, which reached the zenith of its power in the late 19th century, is the glorious birthplace of the distinguished surname Bergdolt. In the medieval era, after the fall of the Roman Empire, the German lands were inhabited by a variety of Barbarian tribes. The borders of the Barbarian kingdoms changed frequently, but the region that became known as Prussia was roughly divided between the areas of Brandenburg-Prussia, West Prussia, and East Prussia. The colorful history of East Prussia, which was located on the southern shore of the Baltic Sea and was bordered by Poland and Lithuania, provides a backdrop to the oldest origins of the Bergdolt family. The origin of the name is Berthold, the "e" later changing to "a" under the influence of the northern dialects.
Bergdolt Early Origins
Prussia, where one of the first records of the name was Bertulf (or Bartholf or Barthold) who died in 883, and was the Archbishop of Trier from 869 until his death.
Bergdolt Spelling Variations
Bergdolt Spelling Variations
Many cultural groups lived in the German states in medieval times. Each had its own dialect and traditions, and unique variations of popular names. Low German, which is similar to contemporary Dutch, was spoken in Westphalia. German names are characterized by additions such as regional suffixes and phrases that tell something about the origin or background of its original bearer. Further contributing to the variation in German names was the fact that there were no spelling rules in medieval times: scribes recorded names according to their sound. The recorded spelling variations of Bergdolt include Barthold, Bartholde,Bartholdi, Barthold, Bartholdt, Bartoldi, Berthold, Bartholdy, Bartholdi, Bartholdie, Bartoldy, Bartholdy, Bartolo, Bartheld and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
The state of Prussia was a great influence on the shape of modern Germany. After the Second World War, Prussia's land was divided among the Soviet Union, Poland, East Germany and West Germany and the state was abolished. Some Prussians remained in those countries after the war, while many others migrated to North America in search of a new start. Philadelphia was their primary point of entry to the United States, after which many of them moved on to Ohio, Texas, Illinois, California, New York, and Maryland. A large number of Prussians also migrated to Ontario and the prairie provinces as United Empire Loyalists. Analysis of immigration records has shown some of the first Bergdolts to arrive in North America, and among them were: Johann Barthold, who came to Philadelphia in 1737; Frank Bartholde arrived in Philadelphia in 1860.

This is a long overdue review but here it goes...So I came upon this little gem while planning a VERY last minute getaway to the city. The hotel we usually stay at in LIC was booked solid which worked out in our favor because Nesva's nightly rate and garage was cheaper. Although we showed up around 7:30pm, check in was simple and smooth. We took our luggage and necessities in and left the car and keys in the garage/uhaul rental center across the street. The room (801) was tight (this is New York after all) but gorgeous. After freshening up, we decided to go and explore the city.
The next morning, we had the free breakfast before checkout. The breakfast area was very tight with all the people there bit the food was adequate. After checking out, we loaded up the car and decided to explore the city more since we had until closing ( 5pm since it was a Sunday) to get the car out with no extra charge. We have fun going places we had been before and new places we had never seen and although we planned to be back to the car around 3pm it ended up coming to the last minute. We would have made it to the garage in time had the train come on time. It was about 10 minutes late so we did not get to the garage it about 5:10. After knocking to no avail and calling various numbers ( including the one of the back of the parking stub that we were told to call in case of emergency), nothing. After explaining to the guys at the front desk our situation, they gladly joined in to help. They said one of the guys that worked at the garage lived on the street and was usually outside although they did not know what building. After looking up and down the street and calling other numbers. They too could not locate him. Our only choice was to check back in but I explained to them that we didn't anticipate this cost and was financially limited. They checked us into another room (601) just as nice as our previous one and about $50 cheaper. I asked if they would still keep an eye out for the guy because we need some essentials from the car ( ie diapers, change of clothes) and they promised they would. Two hours later we got a call from the front desk that they had located the garage guy and that he was downstairs. The guy apologized for the situation and said he would have waited if we had called to let him know we were running late ( I tried several times but phone service is basically none existence underground in the subway). He said we could park the car overnight on the street directly in front of the hotel and he would only charge us $20 which was the rate for one day. We thanked him and agreed. All in all it was a great stay when with the unexpected additional cost... It could have been worst.
Ps: for those worried about the location. I feel LIC is a great neighborhood. It's not the prettiest but we have always felt safe there. In fact all three stays in LIC have been with initially our oldest son (7) and now the baby who is 15 months. Every trip we have felt comfortable walking about the neighborhood and to and from the train stations even in the wee hours of the night/ early morning. It's a glamorous and shiny but it's comfortable... This is New York City after all!

F*#$%ing Brazliians, man.
Crazy sons of bitches, all of them. No regard for life or limb. Also really good in the tube. Thats the only way to explain their desire to surf "The Grower" at Desert Point.
Deserts is known for its long, tapered walls that run over a tack-sharp reef. It is a dangerous wave, undeniably. But the end section, affectionately referred to as "The Grower", is another beast in and of itself. Basically detached from the point, The Grower is an anomaly of a wave that nearly doubles in size once it reaches the zone. It then barrels over an extra-shallow portion of the reef and finishes over a dry-rock closeout. It is not for the faint of heart.
But that doesn't stop this team of masochistic Brazilians from giving it hell. Scratching into 20-foot face bombs on 5'10s, threading the needle, and doggy-dooring before complete devastation, these guys have an obscure version of fun. And while most people want nothing to with it in real life, it sure isa blast to watch!

Four easy ways to provide patient education
The responsibility of educating patients and their families often falls to nurses, from explaining procedures to providing discharge instructions. This can be one of the most difficult parts of the job, and your staff may have limited time due to staffing issues or an emergency situation. Here are some tips to help educate patients quickly and effectively:
Handouts are your friend: Patients are often given a lot of information all at once, and it can be hard for them to remember every detail, especially in a stressful hospital setting. Having notes and props ready for them can save time and prevent miscommunication, especially when discharging patients. Have your nurses write up the specific instructions and go over them with the patient; use highlighters to mark the most important information. There are a lot of resources and tools available (we have some here) about common procedures and practices that you can use as handouts for patients as well.
Stay concise but informative: Patients are probably only going to remember one or two learning points, so try to emphasize the most important takeaways and leave the rest for your handouts.
Test understanding: It's important not to assume that your patient is well-informed about their own condition. Even if you think something is obvious, say it anyway! Once you go over the key points, make the patient repeat them back to you; it's one thing to listen to an explanation, but quite another to have to explain it yourself.
Encourage questions: Even if a patient seems to understand, it's important to leave time for questions. Ask if they have any concerns about medications or follow-up care; this will help prevent confusion going forward and negative health outcomes.
You can go here for more advice about patient education.
Trump: for every new healthcare regulation, two must be removed
On January 30, President Trump signed a new executive order declaring a "one-in, two-out" rule for healthcare regulations. Under the executive order, for a new healthcare regulation to be implemented two older regulations will have to be eliminated.
"If you have a regulation you want, number one, we're not going to approve it because it's already been approved probably in 17 different forms," Trump said during the signing. "But if we do, the only way you have a chance is we have to knock out two regulations for every new regulation. So if there's a new regulation, they have to knock out two."
The order also sets an annual cap on the cost of new regulations and cuts the regulatory budget for fiscal year 2017 to zero. This means the only way to afford new regulations issued between now and September 30, 2017 is by repealing existing regulations.
While each agency will decide which regulations they think can be cut, the White House will ultimately decide which ones to gut. Regulations dealing with national security, foreign affairs, and the organization, management, or personnel of federal agencies are exempt.

Avoiding Autopilot
Rarely are we genuinely thoughtless—that is, without thought. But often we are not giving our thoughts much consideration. In today's world, there is much distraction and sometimes we are guilty of distracting ourselves just to prevent our minds from focusing on the things that are most important (electronic devices proliferate and give us many opportunities to engage in mindlessness). So, to be genuinely able to think about thinking, we must avoid going onto autopilot.
Autopilot is the state of being where we are largely going through the motions, not thoughtfully engaged in the activities of life. It is when we arrive at our destination but cannot remember the traffic on our commute, or taking the last turn or even whether we stopped for the traffic signal or not—it happens to all of us, and that is autopilot. The key is in recognizing when it is happening and being willing and able to intercept your unconscious mind and instead coax it to be present in the real-life situation you're living. It is learning to move our conscious mind from nowhere to now here—a subtle but essential difference!
Being present in the moment is the essence of mindfulness, and it is powerful! Mindfulness wakes us up to sensations we have been failing to notice. It reveals patterns in our activities that we've become blind to. It permits us the full engagement in the reality happening in front of us and even within us, silently, steadfastly, sacredly. Mindfulness may enable us to improve our health, connect more successfully to other people, enlarge our thinking, focus our perception, and even strengthen our intuition. Mindfulness is the polar opposite of autopilot!

Tips for recommitting to nursing in the new year
The new year is often a time for retrospection and reflection, especially when it comes to your career. If you're starting to feel burnt out on nursing but not quite ready for a career change, here is some advice to freshen things up in the new year.
- Reflect on your past: Sometimes the best way to go forward is to look back. What drew you to nursing in the first place? Why was a career in nursing right for you? Think about the positive experiences you've had as a nurse that reaffirmed your career goals. Treat your next shift like it's your first day; what excites you? What makes you nervous? Sometimes asking these questions can reinvigorate how you approach your work.
- Connect (and disconnect): If you're feeling down about your job, sometimes the best solution is to ask for help. Reach out to your peers and develop a support system to help yourself and others. If you think there's something that could make you happier at work, talk to your managers about it; sometimes a small change can have a profound effect.
It's also important to let go sometimes. Being a caregiver, interacting with patients at some of the worst times in their lives can negatively impact your outlook and make your job even more difficult. Try to focus on the good you've done for patients and don't take it personally when a patient struggles or suffers.
- Commit to the new: Even though it doesn't always feel like it, taking on new challenges can be a great way to energize your career. Seek out new experiences and opportunities; take the frustrations of the day and channel it toward learning a new skill or pursuing additional training options. Reflecting on your weaknesses can be difficult at first, but identifying them and working towards improvement can be satisfying and build you confidence.
Another great way to embrace the new is working with nursing students or new nurses. They bring energy and enthusiasm to the job, and becoming a preceptor or informal mentor can be a great way to grow your own enthusiasm while furthering your career.

Nurses are once again named the most trusted profession
For the 15th year in a row, the Gallup's annual honesty and ethical standards poll has named nurses as the most trustworthy profession.
Released last week, the Gallup poll shows that 84% of respondents said they rate nurses' ethical standards and honesty as very high or high. Pamela Cipriano, PhD, RN, the president of the American Nurses Association, said that trust plays a vital role in the relationship between nurses and their patients, and because nurses are at the frontline of healthcare, they offer a unique point of view to their patients and the facilities they serve.
Healthcare professions took the second and third rank as well, with pharmacists receiving a positive rating and medical doctors receiving a 65% rating.

Virtual reality a potential solution for pain management
This year has seen the release of multiple virtual reality (VR) headsets aimed at the home consumer. As they are becoming more affordable, hospitals and companies are researching the benefits in a healthcare environment, and the early results are positive.
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Children's Hospital Los Angeles are conducting studies using the software, and the early results are positive. Cedars-Sinai researchers found that 20 minutes of using the VR software reduced patients' pain by almost 25 percent; patients had an average pain score of 5.5 out of 10 before the VR experience and an average score of 4 after using the software. The researchers say this is a dramatic reduction, and not far from the effect of narcotics. At Stanford Children's Health, they speculate that VR can be valuable for helping children get through tedious or uncomfortable procedures, such as physical therapy or imaging studies.
Though providers are cautiously optimistic about the possibilities, there are still some hurdles to overcome. It is difficult to find developers who want to target medical issues, because of the unclear path to profitability. One startup company, ApplieVR, is building a library of content designed to help patients "before, during, and after medical procedures" It's also important to determine when the technology can helpful and when it can't; some patients won't respond to the applications as well as others, and researchers are careful not to oversell the value of VR at this early stage.
For more information, check out the MIT Technology Review article.

How nurses can reduce patient anxiety
Nurses face challenging patients and their families every day, but understanding the causes of patient stress can reduce the patient's anxiety and ultimately make your job easier.
Healthcare can be confusing and distressing for many patients. Being admitted to a hospital for any reason can be one of the more stressful events in a person's life. Because of this, it is important to remember that anxiety is the root cause for many conflicts in healthcare settings; so a difficult patient or family member isn't necessarily a rude or ornery person most of the time, they may just be experiencing symptoms of anxiety.
The first step in mitigating a patient's anxiety is to introduce yourself and explain your role in their treatment plan. Explain everything you are going to do and why you are doing it. Patients are inexperienced in healthcare procedures, and it can be easy to take your knowledge for granted. Come armed with hand-outs and as much information as you can; the more knowledgeable the patient feels, they more comfortable they will be.
Next, it is important to listen to your patient and take their needs seriously. Active listening techniques, such as asking open-ended questions, taking an interest in their lives, or checking in on their feelings, can be a vital lifeline to someone suffering from anxiety. Check in with them often, and give them a venue to voice their concerns.
Instead of instructing the patient to relax, demonstrate it! Your demeanor can have a profound effect on a patient's emotional well-being, so staying cool and collected can relax them in turn. Consider using relaxation techniques like breathing exercises to help them cope with anxiety.

Nurses file for collective action over lunchbreak dispute
Nurses at Methodist Health claim that the hospital docks lunch pay for breaks they aren't able to take.
Robert Straka, a nurse at Methodist Health in Dallas, filed a collective action lawsuit in August against his employer. The issue in question is the hospital policy that dictates that nurses should be allotted 30 minutes every shift to take an uninterrupted break. He argues that nurses are still expected to care for patients during their break, and would often get pulled away to perform duties. Straka filed on behalf of almost one thousand nurses across Methodist's five facilities.
Meanwhile, Methodist argues that this is not the case, and questioned the plaintiff's interpretation of the rules. They've requested that the charges be dropped in a response sent last week. The judge in the case has mandated that each party meet and produce a report next month, that would outline settlement options and hopefully come to a resolution.

Allina and nurses agree to end strike
The Minnesota Nurses Association (MNA) and Allina Health have reached an agreement after months of negotiations and weeks of striking.
Last week, we reported that Allina nurses were about to enter their second month on strike after another round of failed negotiations. This week, the two sides finally reached a tentative resolution that should end the nurse's strike.
Health care coverage had been a sticking point in negotiations; Allina wanted to transfer nurses away from their nurse-only insurance policy onto the more cost-effective corporate plan. The new agreement states that nurses will be moved off their current insurance by 2018, but the company has agreed to make additional contributions to HRA/HAS accounts in the next four years. The MNA representatives believe that this will protect nurses from any future benefit reductions.
Although the rank-and-file nurses still need to vote on the proposed terms, this deal is backed with the unanimous endorsement of the MNA, unlike the previous deal.
Allina nurses go back on strike
Allina nurses enter their second month of striking after voting "No" the most recent contract proposal.
The nurses at Allina Health hospitals in Minnesota began contract discussions in February, and eight months later, Allina and the nurses have yet to settle on an offer. Allina Health's 4000 nurses walked out for a week in June to start negotiations, and have been striking since Labor Day.
The dispute started when Allina wanted to eliminate the nurses' union-backed health plans, with high premiums but low deductibles, and replace them with their corporate plan, saving the company $10 million per year. Both sides have agreed to move all nurses by 2020, but the nurses want input on the plans to ensure they get quality healthcare.
Allina made a new contract offer on Monday, and the nurses voted to reject this latest offer and continue the strike. The Minnesota Nurses Association reports that the offer was largely the same that they rejected in August, while Allina insists that their offer was fair and addressed many of the concerns raised by the unions.
This is set to become the longest strike in state history, and the Star Tribune reports that the strikes have cost Allina more than $40 million dollars so far.

28.10.16 Exeter fire: Royal Clarence Hotel collapses in blaze.
The hotel has been destroyed by the huge fire that continued to burn after more than 24 hours.
The front of the Royal Clarence, described as England's oldest hotel, has partially fallen away due to the blaze in Exeter, Devon.
The fire broke out at about 05:00 on Friday 28.10.16 in buildings on Cathedral Green before spreading to the hotel, which dates back to 1769.
The gas supply was turned off after a ruptured main fuelled the fire. Police brought in a drone to assess the structure of the building and structural engineers expect the facade of the hotel to crumble further.
The fire spread into the Laura Ashley store on the High Street but that was contained.
Services and a concert at Exeter Cathedral were cancelled and there was an overwhelming sense of sadness in the city.
The fire broke out above the Castle Fine Art gallery where renovation work was under way, before spreading to the Well House Tavern, a cafe and the Royal Clarence Hotel.
A spokesman for the fire service said the gallery and hotel had been destroyed by the blaze, but that the cause of the fire was unknown.
Chief Fire Officer Lee Howell said: "We're grateful no one has been hurt in this incident but the community has lost an historic building which is a landmark of the city.
"We kept significant resources at the scene to ensure we were able to deal with every eventuality and we will continue to do everything we can to protect the heritage of this city."
Hotel owners, Andrew Brownsword Hotels stated that they were immensely grateful for the tremendous efforts made by all the emergency services and especially the fire service, who have worked with such focus and determination. They further stated that the support offered by the Mercure Hotel, Exeter City Council and colleagues in Exeter at this difficult time has been overwhelming.
The group thanked its own "incredible team of staff" who behaved with "positivity and professionalism" in managing the situation.
Guests were evacuated from their rooms in the middle of the night to the nearby Mercure. There were no reported casualties.
Building control engineers told the BBC that the facade of the historic hotel was expected to crumble away.
Fire fighters used water from the River Exe hundreds of metres away to help extinguish the blaze.
The Bishop of Exeter, Robert Atwell, said: "When people think of bombing during World War Two they only think of London or Coventry, but Exeter was also bombed very heavily.
"Lots of our medieval buildings in Exeter were destroyed, but the one that didn't was the wonderful old Royal Clarence Hotel.
"To see this ancient building go up in smoke is so sad."
The 287-year-old Royal Clarence Hotel will have to be demolished following the blaze – but today the owners vowed it will rise again from the ashes.

European Parliament Exploring The Decriminalisation Of Individual File Sharing
Ryan Martin / 4 years ago
TorrentFreak reports that several members of the European Parliament have started a coordinated platform to urge the European Commission to update its outdated policy on copyright. The main proposal put forward by these MEPs is to make a more flexible copyright system which includes the possible decriminalisation of individual file sharing for personal use. The current European Copyright Directive (also known as InfoSoc) is more than 10 years old and the MEPs who put forward this coordinated platform believe it is outdated and needs to reflect the present reality of copyright.
"People all over the EU are increasingly concerned that the copyright system is no longer for them, and that many aspects of copyright law as it is currently applied, managed and interpreted by courts in the member states is not satisfactory or relevant" explains the letter by the MEPs.
"Infosoc has created a horrible licensing nightmare that no one is able to penetrate. Those who make use of culture – filesharers, DJs, libraries, schools – live in a constant state of uncertainty…It's really difficult to find out what the freedoms and rights are of those who use culture. What is permitted and not permitted? When is someone at risk of getting sued? The law really needs to make that more clear." state Pirate Party MEP Amelia Andersdotter.
