Wishing you a blessed and peace-filled Christmas!

Wishing you a blessed and peace-filled Christmas!
~ ~ ~
The winter solstice happened this week. The shortest day of the year is now behind us.
We spent several hours on the road Monday, transitioning from the damp and balmy west coast into the brisk and snowy east Kootenays. There is no doubt we'll be having a white Christmas.
As the sun slowly appeared over the mountain beside our daughter's home, we marvelled once again at the exceptional beauty of God's creation.
Outside the family room window there is a patio bordered by trees, and every day dozens of birds arrive, flitting from the branches to feast on what they obviously consider a gourmet granola meal that is always provided for them. On our first morning here I counted nine different species in less than an hour!
God provides for all of his creatures … these birds, and us. It's Christmastime — in fact, today is "Christmas Eve Day" — and we're full of praise and thankfulness for Him who was born this night to provide for us and our salvation.
The angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.
[Luke 1:35]
(I'll be taking a break from blogging next week. I wish each of you a joy-filled Christmas, and a New Year filled with good health and many blessings.)

Sharing some pre-Christmas thoughts in this reprise from 2009…
Through the years my husband has wound umpteen dozen strings of lights around our Christmas trees … and unwound them … and rewound them. It's hard to tell if they're perfectly spaced even when the strings are lit up, so he does "the squint test". Peering at the tree while squinting removes all the visual distractions except the small sparkles of illumination. He likes them to be exactly right.
Last year our tree looked lovely – the treasured family heirloom ornaments glistened among our collection of snowflakes, frosted pinecones, and a few red balls for a festive touch. And then the lights went out. Actually, just one string went out – the new, supposed-to-last-for-years LED's faded away and left the top quarter of the tree dark. Drat!!
So we un-decorated that section, removed the string and replaced it with another, and then redecorated. There. Now it was lovely again … until the next evening when another set of the lights slowly faded away to nothing, this time mid-way down the tree. To replace that string would have required removal of a great number of the decorations as well as the beaded swags, so we did some minor tweaking, rearranged a few nearby lights and then resigned ourselves to ignoring the imperfection, but it's hard to do. You know how it is. The lights form the backdrop for all the other ornaments. This errant string left a darkened gap right in the middle. But we didn't have any family coming to visit that Christmas, so no one else saw it. Later when we were putting everything back into storage we discarded that string so we wouldn't forget and try to use it again the next year.
It's a little like my first novel. I wanted it to be perfect but it was written before I learned what writing was meant to be. Peering critically at it reveals weaknesses. There are gaps that no amount of rearranging is going to fix. I know; I've tried. The underlying plot is flawed. The story needs a total rewrite but that would be more work than I think it's worth. So I'm resigned to its imperfection and have stashed it in the dusty depths of oblivion better known as the closet. No one is ever going to see it.
What do you do with your less-than-perfect writing efforts? Are you able to discard them or do you keep trying to make them better? How do you decide if they're worth the effort?

Thanks to those merchants who begin their Christmas marketing before Hallowe'en is over, it's easy to be duped into thinking we need to keep in step with them and start our own preparations earlier every year.
I love everything about Christmas — celebrations of holiday and holiness along with the preparations, family festivities and traditions. What I don't like is pushing aside our Canadian Thanksgiving, Remembrance/Veterans Day, and American Thanksgiving in a rush to dig out the creche, Christmas ornaments and coloured lights.
The one exception in our household is when we bake our Christmas fruitcakes six weeks before Christmas. The whole family gets involved, and for that one day, carols provides a backdrop to the measuring, stirring and wonderful baking aroma. But just for that one day.
(Oh, all right, I suppose I also have to admit we bought a poinsettia at the church's Christmas Bazaar this past weekend. It's a HUGE event and is always held the third weekend of November. Any later and it would conflict with Advent.)
A friend reminds me every year that Christmas Eve is soon enough to put up her tree and bring out the few treasured ornaments that will remain in place through the twelve days of Christmas and come down after Epiphany. I don't argue with her because her tradition is reasonable.
Do I wait until Christmas Eve? Certainly not! The older I get, the faster time passes, so I find it necessary to embrace all of Advent and the twelve days of Christmas to ensure I have adequate time to prepare myself and absorb all the special joys of the holy season.
However, I wait until after my American friends have celebrated their Thanksgiving Day. When the following Sunday ushers in Advent, then I'm set to move ahead into Christmas preparations. Then and only then! Our outside lights will go on to remind neighbours that we're looking forward to celebrating the birth of Him who is the Light of the world. The miniature porcelain village will be unpacked along with the creche, and by the next weekend we'll be hunting for the perfect tree.
It's important to respect each special occasion, and I think it's difficult to focus properly on their history and true significance if we are rushing past in anticipation of what will follow. So no, it's not Christmastime quite yet.
This week I join in wishing my American friends a very blessed Thanksgiving.
Giving thanks always for all things
unto God and the Father
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
[Ephesians 5:20]

"Late dawn. Early sunset. Short day. Long night. For us in the Northern Hemisphere, the December solstice marks the longest night and shortest day of the year." *
In last Friday's post I mentioned Sunday would mark several things — the fourth Sunday in Advent, the beginning of Christmas week, and the Winter Solstice. Someone on Facebook today said, "What? Wait! You mean this is only the first day of winter?"
Yes, it's the first official day. I don't mind winter, but it's the one season here on the B.C. west coast I wish were a little bit shorter. Misty, grey days get tiresome. Still, today we can take heart in knowing that from now on, daylight hours will slowly begin to increase again.
I wish the moody seasons of writing were equally predictable.
Writing every day is a habit for me, but I admit the quality and quantity of my words are often seasonally affected. During November I concentrate on NaNoWriMo, but when December arrives I love to focus on Christmas. The days (and evenings) fill up with special activities and there is less energy leftover for creative writing. With the approach of the New Year I start thinking about my need for a renewed commitment to my W.I.P. (work in progress), whether that means adding new material or revising what I have.
Many people make New Year's resolutions, but I'm not one of them. I don't see the point of deliberately setting myself up for failure. Convincing myself that when the calendar page flips over I'll magically be able to change my ways… well, I know from experience it doesn't happen. It will still be winter in January. I'll continue to put words on a page but it will probably be a good time to work on scenes that require darker emotions.
A new season is under way; the year is beginning to turn around. It's the season for indulging our fictional fancies, maybe starting something altogether new…a different genre, a fresh theme or plot.
Winter is just right, too, for fleecy sweatshirts and cosy sweaters, shearling slippers, afghans and lamplight. Just right for settling in with mugs of sweet tea and hot chocolate. Time to hunker down and survive.
Spring is coming. I promise! 🙂
"For as long as Earth lasts,
planting and harvest, cold and heat,
Summer and winter, day and night
will never stop."
[Genesis 8:22 – Msg]

For weeks now I've muttered about the advertisements on television — you know, the ones that start promoting Christmas shopping before Halloween arrives, and the ones that display brightly decorated homes before our friends in the USA get to celebrate their Thanksgiving. But suddenly Christmas is less than a month away!
This is the weekend we'll unpack our nativity scene and direct our thoughts to the new church year that's just beginning. (Advent is the first season, so this Sunday it will all begin again — Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost.)
It's also the weekend when our family's Christmas traditions begin to emerge. Besides our Nativity, a miniature ceramic village will be unpacked. It's a nod to my childlike nostalgia… a fascination with tiny figures in an old-fashioned snowy 'Currier & Ives' kind of setting. An evergreen tree will be next, followed during the week by an assortment of decorations accumulated from many different sources.
A friend posted on Facebook this evening that it was snowing at her home on Vancouver Island, and I was instantly envious. I know envy is a sin, but what can I say? Nothing quite beats a bit of drifting snow when it comes to putting me in a let's-start-getting-ready-for-Christmas mood. A half hour ago I happened to turn on the back deck light (checking for the bear, of course!) and whoa!!! there's snow here, too — an inch, and it's coming down steadily!
So I'm all set… ready to begin again this weekend. My NaNoWriMo efforts have run down. (I accumulated 14,000 words… a far cry from the goal of 50,000 but still more than I would have had without the month-long focus.) (UPDATE: Looks like I'm finishing up the month with 19,707 words.) I'll continue my daily writing, but there will be other priorities during December.
After all, it's beginning again… "the most wonderful time of the year!"
I'd love it if you would share how your Christmas preparations begin. 🙂
The Word was first,
the Word present to God,
God present to the Word.
The Word was God,
in readiness for God from day one.
Everything was created through him;
nothing—not one thing!—
came into being without him.
What came into existence was Life,
and the Life was Light to live by.
The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness;
the darkness couldn't put it out.
[John 1:1-5, MSG]

First Paragraph:
"The Ironclads lifted Finn and heaved him into the moving engine. He kicked and bucked, skinning the knuckles of his left hand on the hatch as he tried to stop himself, but it was no good."
Amazon /Amazon.co.uk
Engn by Simon Kewin is a little fantasy, steampunk and adventure all rolled into one.
Finn lives in a small village in the mountains. Like other children, he grew up hearing stories of the brutal Ironclads and their home base- Engn. Few have seen it and returned. Engn is said to be one great machine. Every day it grows more and more, so more hands are needed to man it. The masters of Engn take the labour they require. They send their Ironclads out into every village, every home, picking up children to be brought to their city. It is not a request you can refuse.
Finn's sister was taken when he was little. Though painful, his parents assured him this meant he was safe. They can't take more than one per family, and he lives his life in relief. Until they show up at his door, and the long journey to the contained city begins. No one gets in unless they're taken. No one gets out, apart from those tasked with bringing in more hands.
But Finn has a plan. A promise he made with two friends years ago. One was taken, the other vanished. Their promise- to destroy Engn. But that is easier said than done. It's only when he arrives in Engn that he realises what a task that is. An iron dictatorship runs the city. The people are slaves. Broken and beaten, their bodies used to fuel the furnaces when they're deemed useless. Eyes are everywhere. What can one boy do against the might of Engn?
The first quarter of the book is told alternating between past and present. Most of the time spent in the former- we see Finn's life so far, and how he came to be where he is now. By the first third, he has reached Engn and the story really begins.
This is a slow-paced novel. There are action sequences, but they're so short and few that most of the story drags. What should be a tension-filled book, lacks it because most of it is spent seemingly doing nothing. Reading this book was like walking from A to B. You can enjoy the walk, the scenery can be varied and pleasant, but in the end you're still just trying to get to point B. There's nothing engaging enough about the scenery to make you stop and enjoy it. This isn't a hugely long book, but it felt very drawn out, and I found myself just wanting to reach point B.
The story isn't bad, the characters aren't bad, the plot isn't bad. In fact there's nothing bad about this book, but there's something lacking that means the story doesn't work as it should. I can like or dislike a slow-paced book depending, but for a slow story to still be gripping and enthralling, it has to be done extremely well, and unfortunately this isn't.
The ending is predictable. In fact, there aren't really any surprise plot-twists at all. I could guess the main plot points, which isn't a bad thing in itself, as long as they keep you interested. It's been a long time since I've read a book I had to force myself through, and regrettably this is one of those.
The basic premise sounds interesting enough, but the writing and pace let it down. Steampunk world in a dystopian setting sounds like something that could be great. The Pavlovian argument that people can be conditioned- that if you 'train' them enough, they'll respond subconsciously to your orders is one we've seen before. Done right, it can create a chilling atmosphere, but done wrong and it serves no real purpose. I'm afraid to say it's the latter in this story.
I've been pretty negative about the story, so I want to reiterate- this is not a bad book. The main hurdle to overcome with this book is its pace. If you can get past the fact that nothing ever seems to be happening, even during crucial 'saving-the-world' scenes, you might enjoy this book. The characters aren't bad, but I didn't really feel attached to any of them as I usually would. The story just comes off a little flat, lacking depth and character.
It's amazing that the book could tell us so much, without really telling us anything. Nothing is ever explained. I don't even think that any of the characters knew anything. They were just doing it because it's the way of things. This may sound ironic considering my above comments, but a little more description would've been nice. For instance, I have no idea where or when this book is set. It's clearly not our world, and I'm pretty sure it's on another planet, but like I said, it's not explained. Not that is needs to be. It wouldn't really add anything to the story, but it would solidify the setting a little more.
I don't regret reading it, but I don't think I'd do so again. In this end, this was just getting from point A to B.

Cleveland Clinic Preventative Medicine Physician Roxanne Sukol (photos by Donna). I injured my knee this spring during my travels and, home for just two days in April, was able to make an appointment; my usual doctor was out, but another internist had an opening. She entered and I introduced myself. She said, "I know who you are." Why? She is medical director of the Wellness Enterprise at The Cleveland Clinic and has her own well-trafficked food blog, Your Health Is on Your Plate, which addresses how to eat well. I, a Fat-Is-Good-For-You-Eat-More-Pork-Well-Salted proselytizer, well aware that the august Cleveland Clinic hews to the old-school fat-and-salt-are-evil party line, went on guard. Yet within moments Dr. Sukol was rattling away excitedly about stripped and intact carbs and fiber matrixes, riveting me. With what seemed near despair, she said, "We Read On »

Treat your farmers' market like your grocery store. That's my motto (when I'm not on the road). My problem, though, is I can no more carry all the goods in two arms than I can the goods from my actual grocery store. We used to have a red wagon and toted a two-year-old daughter along with dozens of ears of corn and other veg. But the wagon is long gone, and we don't own a shopping cart or any kind of cart. Given how I'm always traveling, it was not a far stretch to put my bag to better use. That's what I did ten days ago when I needed a lot of food for the week. Packed everything in a suitcase. Made everything so much easier. Takes up less room than a cart or a Read On »
I had the great good fortune to interview Dan Barber before a sold-out crowd at Cleveland's MOCA last night, talking to him about his fine book, The Third Plate (NYTimes review here). Barber, chef and owner of New York's Blue Hill restaurant and maestro of Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, is the most vocal and articulate chef soap-boxing for a sustainable food future. The problem has long been that, while he's been very good at articulating the problems, he's never had a realistic solution. Americans can't completely opt out of the industrial food system by relying exclusively on CSAs and farmers' markets (much as we cherish them). And chefs must cherry-pick the best ingredients if they are to keep their restaurants filled. Until this book, that is. Barber, through excellent reporting (how many chefs record interviews Read On »
My thoughts on seeing "Fed Up," the documentary about the causes of the American (and now increasingly global) obesity epidemic are not complex. It's all pretty mortifying, if completely unsurprising. Sugar is bad for you if you eat too much of it. So is lettuce. The problem is, sugar is turning out to be the most dangerous nontoxic compounds you can eat, and it's in 80% of the 600,000 items stocking our grocery stores. Whereas it would be really hard to eat too much lettuce. And there isn't much difference between eating a bowl of sugar and eating a bowl of cereal. Most people in America are unable to eat anything other than products with added sugar. And the Grocery Manufacturers Association, the Food Marketing Institute, and other Big Sugar factions are doing all Read On »
A few months ago, in Vegas with Anthony Bourdain and the Parts Unknown crew, I had uncommonly sweet digs and a lot of downtime. Tony probably speaks with more chefs around the world than any other person living. So in between his facial and his pedicure, I talked to him: M.R.: What issues do you see facing chefs today? I think a number of chefs are trying to figure out how to be good citizens of the world, and also serve the one percent. Trying to find a balance when their whole business model is built up around expensive markup of bottles of wine, only the very best parts of the fish, the rest has to be disposed of one way or another. A lot of chefs are trying to reconcile that. Chefs generally are good-hearted Read On »

Researchers Create Miniature Human Liver Out Of Stem Cells
Scientists have created a tiny liver from stem cells that helped mice with chronic liver failure regain function.
Researchers in Japan transplanted 4-millimeter-wide "liver buds" made from human stem cells into a mice. The transplanted liver buds, which were placed in the cranium or abdomen, were able to work in conjunction with the mice's own organs and secrete human liver-specific proteins. They also created human metabolites, tiny molecules that are produced when the body metabolizes a substance.
Co-author Takanori Takebe, a stem-cell biologist at Yokohama City University in Japan, said to Nature this was the first time people have made a solid organ using pluripotent stem cells, which are mature skin cells that are re-programmed to become an embryonic cell that can express any genetic characteristics.

Cricket: Strauss anger as England lose their grip
England were "desperately disappointed" after a frustrating and bad-tempered night in Chittagong ended in a shock defeat to Bangladesh.
They must contemplate a week of worry before their final chance to earn a World Cup quarter-final place when they take on the West Indies on Thursday.
The first task, however, will be to restore morale after allowing a clear winning opportunity to slip from their dewy grasp as Mahmudullah and Shafiul Islam scrambled past 225 all out in an unbroken ninth-wicket stand of 58.
It all proved too much at one stage for Graeme Swann, who was unable to hold the drenched ball -- let alone impart any off-spin. He lost his temper and was heard to swear after one exchange with umpire Daryl Harper, forcing Andrew Strauss to intervene.
The England captain was unable to deploy Swann when he wanted, because of the dew effect at a venue hosting its first ever day-night match.
"There was a 20-over period where it was very, very bad," said Strauss. "Graeme couldn't grip the ball at all. I think there's something not quite right if a spinner can't grip the ball in this part of the world, where spin plays such an important role.
"That was hard work for us, but it wasn't the reason we lost the game."
As for Swann's behaviour, Strauss added: "Graeme was obviously very frustrated, because the dew meant he couldn't grip the ball."
It is up to match referee Jeff Crowe to decide whether disciplinary action is in order.
England had earlier managed what Strauss felt was just a "par" score -- on the back of half-centuries from Jonathan Trott (67) and former Ireland star Eoin Morgan (63).
Imrul Kayes (60) then underpinned the chase until he ran himself out, and left plenty of hard work for the tail after Ajmal Shahzad (3-43) helped England take four wickets for 15 runs.

Battle Between Raees and Kaabil Is Started Even Much Before The Release
Shah Rukh Khan's last two films (Dilwale, Fan) disastrously failed at the Box Office, resulting the film distributors a heavy loss and to think twice should they give their screens to SRK's upcoming movie 'Raees' or not. At this stage, facing another clash with Hrithik Roshan's Kaabil (which is also scheduled to release on 26th January, 2017) is not usually something less than a nightmare to the producers and distributors. And to a solution to it, Raees makers have already started applying a deal on the distributors that will ensure Raees more number of theatres than its opponent Kaabil.
According to a leading exhibitor, the distributor of Raees, who also released Baahubali and Mirzya, has signed a deal with single-screen exhibitors making it compulsory to exhibit the SRK starrer movie in all four shows on the eve of Republic Day 2017, "A number of single screen theatres inadvertently fell into the trap because of pressure tactics. Also, let's not forget that Raees is a Shah Rukh Khan film and he goes all out to woo exhibitors and ensure that he blocks a majority of theatres. He did it during the release of his last few films, too."
The news that exhibitors are being pressurized to give larger amount of screens to Raees on the bait of Baahubali 2 The Conclusion is also accepted by Ramesh Sippy, a Mumbai Distributor, who recently acquired Kaabil for the territory of Mumbai (Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka and Gujarat). Mr. Sippy confirms, "It is not a deal but the distributors of Raees pressurised a section of exhibitors with a promise that they would not get future films, particularly the second installment of Baahubali, if they do not screen Raees in all the four shows. Baahubali 2 has been used as a bait to pressurise exhibitors to sign Raees in the maximum number of shows."
Sippy adds that, this kind of "arm-twisting" is now often everytime two big films come up for a clash, "There is an effort to block the maximum number of theatres. The exhibitors who have signed up are not quite coming out in the open. Either way, ultimately, the merits of the two films will speak for themselves," he said.
Sippy further said that clashes are not good for business and film industry at all, "Dividing the audience is not good for the two films. Both will lose their audiences," he says, adding that he would have been happier if Kaabil was scheduled for a solo release, "It is the kind of film that is likely to take the box-office by storm, with the role that Hrithik has in it," he says.
On the clash between Raees and Kaabil, the Kaabil producer Rakesh Roshan expressed that the clash of the two films could have been avoided, but it is now inevitable, "I had announced the film (Kaabil) last year in February and if somebody else is coming on that date, it is not ethical and not my fault. It is absolutely unethical to come on somebody else's date. It not only plays havoc with the chain of theatres, but is bad for the producers, distributors and exhibitors as well. If anything, the people involved are only gaining in terms of their ego. After that, they will be repentant for the rest of their lives as to why they did this," he says.
Well, this is not the first time, we got to see such situation during 3 clashes – SRK starrer 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' Vs Ajay Devgn starrer 'Son Of Sardar' in Diwali 2012, then SRK starrer 'Dilwale' Vs Ranveer starrer 'Bajirao Mastani' during Diwali last year and finally Hrithik Roshan starrer 'Mohenjodaro' Vs Akshay Kumar starrer 'Rustom' during Independence week this year.
Interestingly, all 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan', 'Dilwale' and 'Mohenjodaro' failed miserably despite having greater amount of screens. Now it will be pretty interesting to see after the last box-office clash of the year between Ajay Devgn and Karan Johar ended with both films doing middling business, what the fate has destined to the two big releases on a bigger clash on Republic Day 2017 and with whom will have the favour of luck this time! While both the main actors (Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan) of the films is suffering from ill luck in the box office.

How to: Objective Support Anni
Annie Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Annie with this build
|Annie can get annoying to deal with, Especially when she rushes in for her Frost Queen's. She's always going to be in a lookout on whenever Objective she can possible for Anchoring her buddy ADC possible. Rather be Towerdiving with the Ohmwerecker, to Disabling Enemy Wards, to even Crippling Enemy Champions (Escpially in Teamfights.) She's always going to be having some sort of work for her to deal with. She's not the best, but she sure as hell does to her job.
Intro: Annie: That one girl that has a 400 Dollar Trophy Skin.
Hey guys! So as promised, I decided to give you Annie as my First LET'S TALK META series, and Today I'm going to talk about the secret sauce that lies with Annie and her build.
About the Build: Objective Support Annie
Because you are playing Support Annie and not "Support" Annie (As in being a complete jerk to your buddy ADC and taking all the CS for yourself. Yeah I see you.), Your role is to do as much work as you can possible: From crippling the enemies with your Passive, and your Frost Queen's and Ryial's, to disabling wards with your Sweeping Lens and Oracle, to even disabling the enemies turrets when necessarily with the Ohmwercker's Passive, Annie's Job is to handicap the enemy, and she does so with ease... Kinda.
Her Passive means that you need to use at least four of your abilities to release the stun at the end, and because of her update, The enemy can now see through your passive; making Annie either to be encouraged more in ambushing in brushes with her burst, or to play more aggressively or defensively. The enemy now feels threatened whenever they see your meter filled up, and this is both a good thing and a bad thing, because... well... they can all see it now.
Annie is an all-round balanced support champion when it comes to both backing up her ADC and in Teamfights because of your W and Tibbers. You even have an Emergency "Please-Don't-Waste-CS" Q, for last hitting minions, if in case your ADC is out for shop, or even worse, dead. And Ooooh boy, does she get tanky with this build too; meaning that you can take a few shots before falling down, instead of being insta-deleted whenever an enemy tries to burst you down to oblivion.
Annie's OP Skins
Hextech Annie is Obviously the most OP Skin, but since most people can't afford it, all of her Skins are Pretty OP in their own standards. But if I had to speak the most OP skin that isn't Hextech Annie, It would be Panda Annie. And Yes. She's a Panda Waifu. Otaku. Weeaboo? I don't know. It just looks cool.
Final Verdict: 83/100
Overall: Annie is nice to have around, and not-so-nice for the enemy. She can get scary whenever she rushes for Frost Queen's, so you have to be on your toes whenever your facing against her.
She doesn't have any real escaping tools aside from her Passive, The Ohmwercker's Passive, and Ryial's Passive, which is one of the real reasons to why she has to carry a Flash so heavily.
She has a lot of Freedom for her first spell however; mixing her up with either Heal, Exhaust or Teleport for your situations or how your mood is for Annie. So it's not all THAT bad for her.
I'd give her an 83 out of 100, because I feel that she has a LOT of potential with the build. You can cripple for days, and you can tank for days too, but you still can't save your life so easily when you're trying to escape from a chase.
And the Next champion on the list, is Kayle.

The iconic Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is now back! The brand unveiled the come-backing Z/28 at the New York Auto Show as part of the restyled 2014 Camaro line. The unveiled MY2014 Camaro models all don a revised exterior design that incorporates high-performance aerodynamics – allowing more efficient cooling and stability even at high speeds.
The MY2014 Camaro signifies the most considerable redesign since Chevrolet introduced the fifth-generation Camaro as a concept car in 2006.
The changes in the design of the new Camaro compared to the new previous model are very visible on the front and rear. For instance, the front fascia now has a wider lower opening. It also features a narrower upper opening that updates the appearance of the "halo ring" HID headlamps on the Camaro RS package. On the other hand, the functional hood vent on the Camaro SS helps reduce heat as well as aerodynamic lift.
Also on the rear, changes include horizontal lamps, sculptural decklid and diffuser.
As for the new Camaro Z/28, this revived icon now features a full aerodynamics package that creates downforce at speed, making it the most track-capable vehicle in Camaro's history. The aerodynamic package on the Camaro Z/28 is designed to produce downforce at track speeds. The front of the Z/28 now has a large splitter connected to an underbody panel. The Z/28 also features fender flares over the front and rear wheels.
Likewise, the car features extended rocker panels for aerodynamic stability. The Z/28 also features an aggressive rear spoiler and functional diffuser. The cabin of the Camaro Z/28 includes: trim in a distinctive, matte-metallic finish called 'Octane;' a ZL1 flat-bottomed steering wheel; and standard Recaro seats with microfiber suede inserts. The Camaro Z/28 also includes new seats that feature aggressive bolsters for high-performance driving.
Complementing these are seat cutouts inspired by the five-point harnesses found on racing seats. Both front seats of the Camaro Z/28 are manually adjusted to cut the car's weight. To further trim the Camaro Z/28's weight, Chevrolet got rid of the seat-back pass through and employed high-density foam in place of the rigid structure of the seat back and steel mesh of the seat bottom.
This resulted to total weight savings of around pounds (four kilograms). For improved weight balance and track performance, Chevrolet opted not to install the most Camaro powerful engine available – just like the original Camaro Z/28.
Back in 1967, a 396 cid V-8 with 375 hp was the most powerful engine available. Yet, the original Camaro Z/28 was powered by a less powerful yet lighter engine – a 302 cid V-8 with 290 hp.
Back to the present, the 2014 Camaro Z/28 is powered by a lightweight, naturally aspirated 7.0L LS7 that develops 500 hp (373 kW) of output and 470 lb-ft of torque (637 Nm), instead of the supercharged 6.2L LSA (580 hp) found on the Camaro ZL1.
For maximum airflow, the new Camaro Z/28 features racing-style, cold-air induction system and large K&N air filter. Airflow was further improved by a standard dual mode exhaust system and larger-diameter pipes, which bypass the mufflers during acceleration to the torque and sound generated by the LS7 engine.
The engine powering the Camaro Z/28 is mated to a Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual transmission that features close-ratio gearing and 3.91:1 final drive ratio.
Tom Peters, Camaro exterior design director, remarked that the MY2014 Camaro is their opportunity to apply what they have learned from listening to customers, and from continuing development of high-performance vehicles. He added that the automaker's solutions are both functional and beautiful and are meant to create a genuine Chevrolet that is "simple, powerful, honest, and more than expected."

Verizon Confirms LG G2 Availability, Logo Department Busy Again
With LG officially announcing its G2 handset today, we got word that the device was indeed headed to all 4 major US carriers. This was a pretty big deal as LG's previous flagship device was not so lucky, leaving some consumers high and dry. Verizon was the first of these carriers to come out and make things official by confirming the devices availability.
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
Big Red took to Twitter earlier today to post press shots of its version of the device. While the device looks exactly as expected hardware-wise, we were greeted with plenty of logos, something we also expected. While Verizon's take on the device isn't nearly as bad as what they did with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, it is still pretty cringe-worthy.
The device features a Verizon logo above the top-right corner of the screen and directly in the center of the device on the back, right below the power and volume keys. In addition to having it present in the notification bar, the back part of the device also features the infamous "4G LTE" logo that Verizon throws on their devices.
While this certainly isn't surprising, it is a little odd that some devices are able to keep Verizon's branding off of the front of the device while other are not. Perhaps the most notable device was Verizon's take the the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. In this case, the absence of a logo was undoubtedly due to the fact that it was a Nexus device and that Google refused to budge. However, the recently announced Moto X is also free of any Verizon branding. This is likely due to the fact that Motorola's other Verizon phones, the DROIDs, also do not have branding on the front. We all know that Verizon and Motorola are very fond of each other so it is possible that Big Red is letting the company slide past Verizon's eager logo department.
Verizon has yet to state a specific date as to when the device will be launched other than "coming soon". However, Verizon's recent delay of the popular HTC One doesn't exactly make us enthusiastic.

A new study indicates men, who choose to go bald by shaving their heads, are perceived as being more masculine and powerful. The study, published in the journal Social Psychological & Personality Science, included 3 tests of people's perceptions of men based on how much hair they had. The results were consistent. Hair loss is often caused by an excess of testosterone. It also takes some confidence to choose to go bald. So, no wonder baldness is perceived as a more masculine trait. SHARE with your balding friends!
The study also suggests that bald men are seen as less attractive than their counterparts who have a thick head of hair. In the US shaved heads are often associated with men in traditionally masculine professions: the military, police, firefighting, professional sports. That could be the explanation of that perception.
Two-thirds of men face hair loss by age 35. Male-pattern baldness is an inherited sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT, a by-product of testosterone), which leads to finer hair, a receding hairline. However, thinning that spreads across the scalp and not to the crown or temples often indicates an underlying health issue. It could be triggered by hormonal or nutritional deficiencies, such as thyroid problems, low iron, or low protein. Seeing a dermatologist as soon as thinning begins is the best thing to do.
There are dozens of pills and treatments that claim to make your hair thicker. Most of them are just a waste of money. They haven't been clinically approved. Same with shampoos. Only one ingredient has been shown to truly preserve hair. Ketoconazole, an antifungal used to fight dandruff, may save your mane by reducing production of testosterone (and therefore DHT) in hair follicles, say scientists at the University of British Columbia. In a Belgian study, balding men who used a 1% ketoconazole shampoo 2-3 times a week for 6 months saw a 17% reduction in hair loss.
Cleaning up your diet may also help you save your mane. Avoiding fried foods may reduce oil-gland activity, slowing the switch from T to DHT, according to research from India. Slow down on the desserts: the insulin flood from consuming a lot of sugar can trigger the release of testosterone.

Amazon Web Services Launches Amazon Elastic Transcoder
Amazon Web Services, Inc. today announced Amazon Elastic Transcoder, a highly scalable service for transcoding video files between different digital media formats. For example, customers can use Amazon Elastic Transcoder to convert their large high resolution "master" video files into smaller versions that are optimized for playback on websites, mobile devices, connected TV's and other video platforms. Amazon Elastic Transcoder removes the need to manage infrastructure and transcoding software, providing scalability and performance by leveraging AWS services. The service manages all aspects of the transcoding process transparently and automatically. It also supports pre-defined transcoding presets that make it easy to transcode video for smartphones, tablets, web browsers and other devices. With Amazon Elastic Transcoder, customers can create enterprise, training, user-generated, broadcast, or other video content for their applications or websites. Customers can get started with Amazon Elastic Transcoder by visiting http://aws.amazon.com/elastictranscoder.
Traditionally, transcoding has been complex for customers in three significant ways. First, customers need to buy and manage transcoding software, which can be expensive and also requires substantial configuration and management. Second, audio and video settings for each device that the customer wants to support need to be created and tested. Often, this is a trial and error process, which can be wasteful as compute resources are used each time a new combination of settings is tried. Third, to accommodate peak workloads, customers need to provision the transcoding capacity appropriately. This can be expensive because most of the time the capacity is underutilized.
With Amazon Elastic Transcoder these complexities are eliminated. There is no need to buy, configure or manage the underlying transcoding software. In addition, Amazon Elastic Transcoder provides pre-defined presets for popular devices that remove the trial and error in finding the right settings and output formats for different devices. The service also supports custom presets (pre-defined settings made by the customer), making it easy for customers to create re-useable transcoding settings for their unique requirements such as a specific video size or bitrate. Finally, Amazon Elastic Transcoder automatically scales up and down to handle customers' workloads, eliminating wasted capacity and minimizing time spent waiting for jobs to complete. The service also enables customers to process multiple files in parallel and organize their transcoding workflow using a feature called transcoding pipelines. Using transcoding pipelines, customers can configure Amazon Elastic Transcoder to transcode their files when and how they want, so they can efficiently and seamlessly scale for spikey workloads. For example, a news organization may want to have a "high priority" transcoding pipeline for breaking news stories, or a User-Generated Content website may want to have separate pipelines for low, medium, and high resolution outputs to target different devices.
"Our customers told us that it was difficult and expensive to transcode video due to the explosion in the number of devices they need to support," said Charlie Bell, Vice President of Utility Computing Services. "They had to be both experts in the intricacies of video support on different devices and manage the software required to run the transcoding jobs. None of this work had anything to do with their goal: getting a high quality video that would look great on the devices they wanted. We built Amazon Elastic Transcoder to give our customers an easy, cost effective way to solve these problems."
"The Language Learning Center offers hundreds of hours of video content in over 50 languages to students and faculty, with a growing library of video assets," said Bob Majors, Senior Computing Specialist, University of Washington. "With Amazon Elastic Transcoder, we've been very impressed with how easy it is to convert our content into versions that work well on the web and on mobile devices."
"Zuffa encodes videos of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and prides itself on delivering the best and most up to date content to its fans. Amazon's Elastic Transcoder has the horsepower to scale for very large videos, even hundreds of gigabytes in size and this will help us continue to be leaders in the digital space," said Christy King, VP Technology R&D, Zuffa, LLC.
OneScreen is a technology solutions provider that connects video producers, publishers, and advertisers across all screens through its Media Graph platform. "At OneScreen, we are excited to add Amazon Elastic Transcoder to our broad utilization of the AWS cloud," said Patrick Ting, CTO, OneScreen, Inc. "With the scalability and cost-efficiency the service offers, we're able to pass those benefits on to our producer and aggregator partners, making it easier for them to bring high quality content to the market."
Amazon Elastic Transcoder offers simple pay-as-you-go pricing. Customers are charged based on the number of minutes they need to transcode and the selected resolution. There are no upfront fees or minimum commitments required. To help customers understand how this service can be used with their applications, AWS is providing a free tier of service, in which up to the first 20 minutes of content transcoded each month is provided free of charge. Amazon Elastic Transcoder is available in six regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), US West (N. California), EU (Ireland), Asia Pacific (Singapore) and Asia Pacific (Japan). Customers can get started with Amazon Elastic Transcoder by visiting http://aws.amazon.com/elastictranscoder.

Fifteen years after the death of his son in a traffic accident, Avi Naor still
dedicates a large part of his time to battle for safer roads. The founder and
chairman of Or Yarok, a nonprofit organization devoted to reducing traffic
accidents on a nationwide level, Naor sees the end-ofyear traffic death tolls as
a national tragedy and a personal affront. In a rare interview with The
Jerusalem Post, he lamented the increase in deaths that ended a five-year
downward trend and pointed a finger directly at the man he holds responsible,
Transportation and Road Safety Minister Yisrael Katz."When you look at
this year's results – and the results are very harsh, 380 plus deaths, around 32
more than last year – and when you know that there are targets that were
approved by the government, aiming for a 6 percent decrease every year, and
instead of a decrease, there was an increase, you see a shift that goes beyond
mere statistics," said Naor.

Pulmicort (Asthma) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2023

|Pulmicort(氣喘):市場預測與分析 Pulmicort (Asthma) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2023
|出版日期: 2014年08月31日
|內容資訊: 英文 53 Pages
Pulmicort是由AstraZeneca在1997年所開發的ICS(吸入用類固醇藥)治療方法,用於預防及幼兒期·成人期的氣喘維持治療上。活性物質Budesonide是具有抗發炎效果的皮質類固醇,與其受體具有高度親和性。AstraZeneca銷售的Pulmicort衍生產品有Flexhaler(成人及6歲以上患者用)和Pulmicort Respules(1∼8歲的幼兒用)、Pulmicort Turbuhaler(支氣管氣喘患者用)等。
GlobalData has released its new PharmaPoint Drug Evaluation report, "Pulmicort (Asthma) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2023". The asthma market saw very slow growth over the past decade, as it has become saturated with relatively efficacious standard therapies, such as short-acting beta-agonists (SABAs), inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs), inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta-agonists (ICS/LABAs), and leukotriene modifiers, and has also been facing increasing generic competition. However, the launch of seven novel targeted biologic agents and once-daily ICS and ICS/LABA therapies delivered by the next-generation inhalers will strongly drive the market growth over the next 10 years. The biologic agents will not only reshape the market growth, but will also mark the beginning of a new era of a personalized approach to asthma treatment. The realization that asthma is a very heterogeneous disease is highly reflected in the rich assortment of these targeted therapies in the late-stage pipeline.
AstraZeneca's Pulmicort is an ICS therapy that was originally launched in 1997, and is used prophylactically for the maintenance treatment of asthma in children and adults. Its active ingredient, budesonide, is an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid with a high affinity for the corticosteroid receptor. AstraZeneca's Pulmicort franchise includes the Pulmicort Flexhaler (budesonide) for adults and pediatric patients older than six years of age, Pulmicort Respules for children between one and eight years of age, and the Pulmicort Turbuhaler for patients with bronchial asthma.

This week we launched our report Primary care today and tomorrow: Adapting to survive, which provides an update on our understanding of the developments and challenges in primary care since our first report in 2012 ( Improving general practice by working differently). Since 2012, primary care providers have encountered an increasingly turbulent political and financial landscape, with a range of new pressures emerging. Workforce shortages have combined with rising patient demand, inadequate facilities and on-going under-funding.
Over the past eight months I've been privileged to be part of the research team on this new report and this week's blog provides my own take on the challenges that I have seen during my research and from my personal perspective as a doctor and a patient.
Throughout our research and particularly in the many discussions I had with stakeholders from a variety of backgrounds, I found that despite the technological developments and organisational reforms, it is people that remain the key to achieving a sustainable health systems. Indeed, as the crisis consuming primary care escalates, staff are experiencing the full brunt of the relentless and overwhelming pressures in trying to maintain services in the face of increasing demand, regulatory scrutiny and patient expectations.
One of the many people I met was Ruth, a GP, who recently decided to give up her partnership in a GP practice as a result of stress and burn-out. I met Ruth at a conference on the DNA of Care which was based around a series of digital stories about working in healthcare.i Ruth's story 'Forgotten to remember' explained how as a GP she listened to and carried the concerns of thousands of patients but also her own concerns and how her vocation, dedication and career was crushed between the pressures she faced on a daily basis. One statement that Ruth made resonated strongly with me "Now I find that I am at a crossroads of my life, one of grief and loss for my beloved general practice, because I can no longer be the GP that I know that I want to be."ii In response to a question from the audience, about what she would do if she had a magic wand, she replied without hesitation, "increase the length of consultations".
As a doctor, I empathised with Ruth's feelings of being overwhelmed by workload pressures that result from increases in annual numbers of consultations, rising complexity of care, and attempts to shift more and more activities into primary care, in the face of inadequate funding and capacity. From my own clinical work, I vividly remember the constant inner conflict caused by competing interests: wanting to provide each patient with high-quality and compassionate care, satisfying organisational demands, and almost never having enough time, to give adequate time and attention to either my patients or my own needs.
Our research found that it was not only the workforce feeling increasingly overwhelmed. Indeed the growing mismatch between demand for consultations and availability of appointments is having a negative impact on both staff and patient satisfaction and, in the words of a number of interviewees, 'starting to negatively affect clinical outcomes'. With primary care buckling under the strain and a workforce and facilities that are overburdened and increasingly unable to support the growing weight of demands, patients are failing to get what is ultimately the principle aim of the NHS: access to the right care, with the right person, at the right time, within a sustainable cost envelope.
Our interviewees also recognised and indeed supported the idea that reform of primary care is a pivotal first step, in addressing the significant financial pressures and supply shortages across the health system. They agreed that such reform needed to be supported by strengthening the sense of ownership among all stakeholders. Especially as any transformation will require some unpopular decisions on what we are prepared to trade-off and prioritise. Moreover, they also stressed that the process of reform should involve a high level of transparency and engagement, not only with healthcare professionals involved in delivering primary care, but also with patients, informal carers and the voluntary and private sectors.
This request for transparency was particularly heartfelt when it came to discussing the new Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs), the 44 geographical footprints that all NHS organisations have been allocated to; in the expectation that they will work with relevant local authorities and other stakeholders to implement radical changes in how services are planned and delivered, and at the same time identify how to balance their finances. Our research identified that the scale of the STP process is large and ambitious and that, in many regions, the organisations coming together in these new partnerships have not, traditionally, worked well together. Furthermore, that the governance of and accountabilities for the STP are obscure. To succeed, the STPs need to obtain buy-in from clinicians and other staff who will be implementing these new models and the support of patients, who will be the end-users of the transformed services. To date, however, there is a lack of evidence of adequate consultation and engagement.
The plans for transforming primary care include an expectation that new models of care will be implemented based on collaboration and integration and that innovation and technology will be adopted at scale. However to date, the progress is relatively limited. In our report we point to best practice examples that serve as an illustration of highly engaged and motivated teams. They demonstrate innovative ways of collaboration and leadership and make use of a variety of solutions.
Over the past few months engaging with many of the people working to deliver these new models of care has been inspirational and has demonstrated clearly the importance of sharing their experiences to date; so that others might learn and hopefully copy these examples and proactively improve patient care rather than re-inventing the wheel or worse, doing nothing.
Transformation of primary care is ongoing and the outcomes of the current reforms remain uncertain. We believe that primary care will become even more important in the future. And that GPs and staff in general practice will be the central co-ordinators, coaches and providers of first line treatments while championing prevention and supporting their local populations. To realise this vision, the GP Forward View will need to be implemented as intended, resources allocated as promised and emerging solutions adopted at scale.
By sharing the insights in our report and especially the good practice examples, we hope that health and social care stakeholders across the UK will be able to alleviate the immediate pressures facing individual staff and patients and enhance the future sustainability of care.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

One person had posted a family tree which I found and asked her to contact you.
I looked everywhere for James Reed but didn't find any other information except for the 1930 Census. Then I started to wonder if you're really looking for info on him and not Gwen and her boys.

i think ive had this problem before. the beeping sound you heard was I believe the POST telling you that something is wrong with the graphics card. This is expected since you forgot to plug in the power. For me, it turned out that my power supply was a bust. Everything else turned on fine but there was never anything on the screen. Replaced the psu and everything booted up. See if you can find a replacement? Your wattage seems to be fine.

Measuring trade diversion-the case of Russian exports in the advent of EU enlargement
This paper is an attempt to assess the possible trade diversion from the Russian Federation caused by the 2004 EU enlargement to 10 Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs). Left out of the club, Russia has been confronted with potential losses of CEECs and EU15 markets. The effect of the factual enlargement is approximated by the transformations introduced by earlier regional integration in the region. The Europe Agreements (EA) and other Preferential Trade Agreements (PTA) among the CEECs anticipated most of the transformations related to the EU enlargement, at least as far as trade is concerned. The method rests on the gravity model enriched with the Michaely indices of potential trade diversion, potential trade creation and export compatibility, as a new measure for trade diversion and trade creation. The use of the indices in this context provides several advantages over the use of PTA dummies. They constitute a more accurate measure of trade diversion, they can be correctly estimated since they are not incorporated in the bilateral importer-exporter effects and they do not suffer from endogeneity. In our exercise, the dynamic panel setting reveals to be the correct specification, from a theoretical and empirical point of view. The results of the estimations do not confirm the trade diversion hypothesis for the aggregated data. Although intra-EU25 trade increased tremendously, this was not at the expense of Russian exports. The low level of Russian exports to the EU and the CEECs could thus be caused by other factors than the EU enlargement.
