The Vicious Cycles of Aging
Today's open access paper is well worth reading through completely; the middle sections are a good consideration of how specific mechanisms and diseases in aging feed upon themselves to progress ever faster over time. Aging is a process of damage accumulation. The damage itself is comparatively simple; aging is complex because cellular biology is complex, not because its causes are complex. Consider rust in a baroque metal structure of many parts. Rust is very simple, but the way in which the structure falls apart over time is not simple. That is a function of the structure, not the rust. This is why I favor developing means to repair damage, as close to the root causes of aging as possible, rather than trying to adjust the operation of metabolism to resist the damage. Repair is an easier task, and should also be more effective when successful.
Anyone who has owned, used, and maintained machines has a good idea of the pattern of aging of any complicated system. Wear is slow at the outset, and then it accelerates into consequences and dysfunction quite quickly at the end of the machine's working life. Damage causes further damage, and different types of damage interact to produce a worse outcome than would be the case for either on its own. Aging is a feedback loop, an accelerating process of breakage causing further breakage. This is true in something as simple as a hammer. It is true in something as complex as our bodies, capable of self-repair.
Beyond the conclusion that addressing damage through repair is better than trying to compensate for damage, another obvious consequence of this view of aging is that prevention in the early stages is far better as a strategy than waiting until matters progress. Since damage spawns further, more complicated forms of damage, and the process accelerates, then it will be many times more costly and challenging to reverse later stages of aging. Start the repair therapies early. That is easier said than done in the present stage of development of rejuvenation therapies, of course. The first treatments worthy of the name are still uncertain, where they exist at all. Early treatment even with highly effective rejuvenation therapies means small benefits, hard to measure, and for most intents and purposes it will be indistinguishable from a treatment that didn't work at all.
Molecular mechanisms behind the rapid progression of age-related diseases
Statistical data indicate that the mortality rates due to all major age-related diseases increase exponentially with age. Researchers have hypothesized that the reason behind this self-aggravating disease progression is the indefinite repetition of reaction cycles, which increases the harm from the initially noncritical changes in the body manyfold. It is these cycles that prospective therapies might address. "Investigating the mechanisms behind age-related disease progression, one concludes that by the time the disease has been diagnosed, it is too late to address the triggering factors. Apparently the most effective strategy is to interrupt the known vicious cycles by blocking certain stages in them. Drugs doing just that are already being developed."
Researchers examined the mortality rates of patients with five most widespread diseases that tend to affect elderly people more often, leading these diseases to be widely regarded as age-related: atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's diseases. Mortality statistics are the most powerful and least biased tool for studying diseases, since they account for the natural progression of a disease under various life conditions across a large population. A detailed analysis of age-related diseases revealed that they progress exponentially due to reactions on the molecular or cellular level producing pathogenic products which in turn initiate the very reactions that produced them. That way the harmful products quickly multiply, and the disease progresses at an ever increasing rate, like an avalanche.
For example, nerve cells in the brain contain a small amount of a protein called alpha synuclein, which is involved in nerve impulse transmission. It may happen that the gene encoding alpha synuclein is mutated, duplicated, or triplicated in a genome. This leads to multiple protein molecules sticking to one another, forming so-called toxic oligomers, which then grow in size by attaching other alpha synuclein molecules. This process produces fibrils, which from time to time break up into oligomers, each of which eventually grows into a new fibril, etc. This chain reaction causes the number of toxic alpha synuclein oligomers to grow exponentially.
Age-related diseases as vicious cycles
Nationwide mortality and disease incidence statistics are perhaps the most powerful and least biased datasets on human diseases that we currently have. These data are derived from humans living in the complex environment and developing diseases naturally, and not from distantly related animals contained in laboratory conditions under disease-inducing regimens. I decided to use disease statistics to elucidate the underlying nature of five major ARDs: atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. As large-scale incidence data for these diseases is not readily available, I have instead evaluated the age distribution of mortality.
It can be seen that the exponential function provides a reasonable approximation for mortality from atherosclerosis, diabetes and Alzheimer's, but is inadequate for mortality from essential hypertension and Parkinson's. The slightly more complex but mathematically correct logistic function provides the fits that are at least as good as for the exponential function, and in addition provides the perfect fit for Parkinson's disease mortality. Finally, the sum of two logistic functions is required for the adequate fit to mortality from essential hypertension. This may indicate that essential hypertension is a heterogeneous disease composed of two major subtypes with different mortality kinetics.
This study showed that potential vicious cycles underlying ARDs are quite diverse and unique, triggered by diverse and unique factors that do not usually progress with age, thus casting doubts on the possibility of discovering the single molecular cause of aging and developing the single anti-aging pill. Rather, each disease appears to require an individual approach. However, it still cannot be excluded that some or all of these cycles are triggered by fundamental processes of aging, such as chronic inflammation or accumulation of senescent cells. Nevertheless, experimental data showing clear cause and effect relationships between fundamental aging processes and ARDs are still missing.
It could also be that the above-mentioned fundamental aging processes themselves are mediated by positive feedback loops. For example, chronic inflammation can amplify itself similarly to autoimmune diseases via cytokines and epitope spreading. Cellular senescence can propagate from cell to cell in a chain-reaction fashion via cytokines and reactive oxygen species. DNA damage may amplify by affecting the genes of more and more DNA repair enzymes. Accumulating intracellular garbage may impair the lysososmal function, leading to ever-accelerating garbage accumulation. However, to test these propositions, longitudinal data on the kinetics of corresponding processes should be obtained.

Guild of One-Name Studies
One-name studies, Genealogy
Study: Alabaster
Category: 3 - A study where research using core genealogical datasets and transcriptions is well under way on a global basis.
Website: www.alabaster.org.uk
Contact: Mrs Laraine Hake
I first started to trace my family history when I was in my teens but restarted, seriously (!), 25 years ago. Becoming stuck on my own maiden name of ORAM fairly soon, I sidetracked on to the family of my father's mother, the ALABASTER family; my maternal grandmother was Adeline Bertha (Bertha) Alabaster born Bethnal Green, London, 30th January 1881.
In the mid-1980s I started to research ALL Alabasters, born anytime and anywhere.This has been a wonderfully fascinating family to trace and has given me contacts and friends all over the world, not to mention years of pleasure!
The first 'Alabaster Gathering' was held in Hadleigh in April 1990 when more than 100 Alabaster family members met. In 1992 the Alabaster Society was formed, now with more than 130 members from various parts of the world.
Probably unlike most 'One Name Studies', those bearing the Alabaster name today all appear to be descendants of a single couple, John Alabaster, baptised 20th September 1624 in Hadleigh, Suffolk and his wife, Elizabeth, so we are all cousins of one degree or another. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to know more about the Alabaster Society or your position within the Alabaster family.
We have a detailed webpage at www.alabaster.org.uk
The Meaning of the Name ALABASTER
Dictionary of Surnames - Hanks and Hodges:
'Alabaster 'English: alteration (by folk etymology) of ANF arblaster crossbowman (OF arbalestier, LL arcuballistarius, from arcuballista, a cpd of arcus bow + ballista catapult, ballista).
The term was not only an occupational name for a soldier trained to use one of these weapons, but also denoted a category of feudal tenant in sergeantry, originally, no doubt, one who provided armed service with a crossbow.'
Dictionary of British Surnames - P.H. Reaney:
'Alabastar, Alabaster, Albisser, Arblaster .................a soldier armed with a crossbow, a crossbowman. The surname is also due to office. Robertus Arbalistarius, Balistarius (1086 Domesday Book) and his son Odo Albalistarius (c1140 Holm) held their land of the king by serjeanty of performing the duties of arbalistarius. Others of the same surname held their land by serving at Wallingford Castle with an arbalest, by guarding Exeter gaol, or by providing two arbalests. As London arblasters are stated to have had apprentices, the surname may also mean 'maker of crossbows'.
In his book, 'The Origin of English Surnames', P.H. Reaney uses this name as an example of the debate as to when surnames became hereditary. He writes, 'One of the chief difficulties in deciding when an early surname became hereditary is the absence of documentation between Domesday Book (1086) and 1155 when continuous national records begin. The names of many of the Domesday Book land-holders reappear in the twelfth century with the same surname in connection with the same land. The presumption is that both family and surname had continued in the interval, but we lack conclusive proof. Tengvik gives a list of heredity by names found in Domesday Book based on the mention of father and one or more sons, occasionally also of a grandson, or of two or three brother all bearing the same surname, but this is not always conclusive. (Tengvik) includes, for instance, Robertus Balistarius and Hugo Balistarius his son. Robert held Worstead in 1086 by serjeanty of performing the duties of arbalistarius, and his son Odo albalistarius (c1140 Holme) inherited the land and the office and owed his surname (now Arblaster or Ballister) either to inheritance or to his office. But his is also called Odo de Wrthesteda (c1150 Crawford) and his son Richard and his grandson Robert were both called de Worsted (1166, 1210 Holme)'

US continuing support for Turkey after the coup attempt will enable Ankara-backed extremists in Syria to commit atrocities against civilians with impunity, former White House National Security Council advisor Gwenyth Todd told Sputnik.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – On Tuesday, US State Department spokesperson Mark Toner said the United States would reconsider providing aid to Syrian opposition group Nour al-Din al-Zenki if reports are confirmed that members of the faction beheaded a child.
The Free Syrian Army (FSA), Toner said, was putting together a commission to investigate the incident.
"As long as Europe, the United States and other allies continue to pretend that Turkey is still a democracy with peaceful intentions, the Free Syrian Army and other supposedly 'moderate' groups of well-armed extremist thugs will continue their terrible atrocities against Syrian civilians of all faiths," Todd told Sputnik on Wednesday.
According to Todd, the West's blind insistence on supporting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at any cost has allowed terrorists to be sheltered, armed and to travel freely to and from Syria, spreading their extremism abroad with total impunity.
The boy beheaded by the Syrian rebel group, Todd suggested, was undoubtedly not the first or even most recent victim of these power-hungry fanatics.
"There are no 'moderate Sunni rebels' in Syria," she claimed. "This has been shown to be true time and time again. There are plenty of moderate, apolitical Sunnis, Shia, Christians and even Jews in Syria, but not moderate rebels."
In the aftermath of the failed coup attempt, Todd warned, expect to see Erdogan exponentially increase his support for terrorist factions in Syria.
"If the West continues to treat Erdogan as an ally, in spite of his post-coup attempt crackdowns, Western support for these terrorists will continue by default, regardless of how many anti-ISIS [Islamic State] missions are flown out of Incirlik," Todd argued.
The Free Syrian Army, she added, is basically a group spawned and nurtured by Turkish President Erdogan to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad and install a Syrian government beholden to Ankara.

As Rakuten expands its global footprint, with more than 12,000 employees and a growing population of remote workers, the company set a technology goal to standardize its entire development process with one software suite.
Rakuten chose Atlassian, integrating Jira Software Data Center for project management, Confluence for team collaboration, and Bitbucket for Git repository management. As a result, Rakuten's developers are working faster and collaborating more than ever before, says Narichika Kajihara, head of global development tools at Rakuten.
"Previously, each business development team and system environment architecture team worked in isolation. Now, organizational boundaries are open, facilitated by ease of communication through the implementation of Atlassian development tools," explains Narichika Kajihara, head of global development tools.
At a company of Rakuten's size, knowledge-sharing and documentation can be challenging. Rakuten's development teams actively use Confluence to share information about new feature requests, internal developments, and industry news. Confluence also facilitates communication between technical and non-technical teams; Jira Data Center and Confluence are integrated so that developers can easily document project status and share it with other teams.
Rakuten has also shaved off lots of time from its development cycle by linking Jira with Bitbucket, Atlassian's source code repository.
The integration has been priceless. For example, previously developers had to attach URLs to an email in order to inform their teams of commits. After integrating Jira with Bitbucket, commits are now automatically incorporated into a Jira workflow. This brings transparency into changes to source code, Mr. Kajihara says.
Ultimately, Atlassian's products have influenced the way Rakuten practices agile development. "Information-sharing within the company has become incredibly fast," says Kajihara.

Innovations in Comfort, Efficiency, and Safety Solutions.
KNX approved as Chinese Standard (GB/T 20965).
|New Products
|Site Search
|Past Issues
KNX is the worldwide only open STANDARD for Home and Building Control. KNX complies with the requirements of the international standard (ISO/IEC 14543-3) as well as with both European standards (CENELEC EN50090 and CEN EN13321-1 respectively EN13321-2) and the US ANSI/ASHRAE. The approval of KNX as Chinese Standard (GB/T 20965) confirms the importance of the KNX technology on the Asian continent.
KNX is the worldwide Standard for Home and Building Control. Back in 1990, nine companies with an electro-technical and building management background founded the association with the same name. Until today, worldwide more than 300 companies from 34 countries have joined this association, offering more than 7000 certified products. KNX offers wired (Twisted Pair, Powerline, IP/Ethernet) as well as wireless communication (Radio Frequency).
KNX – the only approved Chinese standard for Home and Building Control
The high interest in China for compatible KNX products and the KNX Technology has encouraged KNX Association to have the international ISO/IEC approved Standard 14543-3 translated into Chinese. The translated KNX Standard was fed into the Chinese standardization process via the standardization body SAC TC124 and approved by this committee as GB/T 20965, making KNX the only approved standard for Home and Building Control in China.
China will be one of the most prominent markets for intelligent building control in the coming years. KNX is well prepared for this:
- A multitude of KNX member companies (including 20 Chinese members) have already been active in this market for years;
- Four certified training centers offer qualified KNX training for system integrators, building designers and investors;
- A neutral testing laboratory supports the manufacturers when certifying their products according to the KNX standard;
- The manufacturer and product independent KNX commissioning tool ETS is available in Chinese;
- The KNX Handbook in Chinese offers a good introduction into the KNX technology.
There is a high need to drastically reduced energy consumption in China. Especially in commercial projects, one is on the look-out for adequate solutions, an ideal breeding ground for KNX products and systems.
KNX China Roadshow promotes KNX in four larger Chinese cities
This summer KNX
China organized the KNX China Roadshow, bringing it to the following
four cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing and Guangzhou. At each
location, two event days were organized:
- The "KNX
Technology and Application Forum" focused on system integrators,
building architects, researchers, investors as well as manufacturers as
target group;
- "KNX Development Getting Started" focused on the important target group of manufacturers, wishing to develop KNX compatible devices.
KNX Association is the creator and owner of the KNX technology – the worldwide STANDARD for all applications in home and building control, ranging from lighting and shutter control to various security systems, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, monitoring, alarming, water control, energy management, smart metering as well as household appliances, audio/video and lots more. KNX is the worldwide standard for home and building control with a single, manufacturer independent design and commissioning tool (ETS), with a complete set of supported communication media (TP, PL, RF and IP) as well as a complete set of supported configuration modes (system and easy mode). KNX is approved as a European (CENELEC EN 50090 and CEN EN 13321-1) and an International standard (ISO/IEC 14543-3). This standard is based upon more than 23 years of experience in the market including its predecessors, EIB, EHS and BatiBUS. More than 320 member companies worldwide from different application domains have almost 7000 KNX certified product groups in their catalogues. The KNX Association has partnership agreements with more than 38,000 installer companies in 120 countries.

Editor's Picks: Who to watch at Noise Pop fest 2018
At a time when divisive politics permeate just about every aspect of our lives, the Noise Pop Music and Arts Festival continues to provide a platform for musicians of all colors and backgrounds. In its 26th year, the multi-venue festival presents a haven for Bay Area music lovers to feel united, if at least for one week in February.
So with diversity in mind, in addition to Chronicle local favorites like Geographer, Magik*Magik Orchestra (who perform with San Fermin) and Tune-Yards, check out these picks:
The Album Leaf
If you hate mashup genres, you'll hate the phrases used to describe this ambient musical project spearheaded by Jimmy LaValle. But don't let the post-rock "folktronica" label deter you from checking out this San Diego outfit. Be prepared to sway and almost meditate your daytime worries away with tracks like "Vermillion" and "Twentytwofourteen" — and maybe "Over the Pond," if they can somehow get Jónsi of Sigur Rós to join them on stage. (Wishful thinking? Crazier guest appearances have happened in San Francisco.)
7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 23. $20-$22. Swedish American Hall, 2174 Market St., S.F.
Built to Spill
These indie rock pioneers are back in the Bay Area to perform their seminal album, "Keep It Like a Secret." At a time when just about everybody is targeting Gen Xers and even maturing Xennials with reboots and reunions, this is the perfect time for the American rockers to pull at those nostaligic heart-strings with their 1999 release.
7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 20. The Fillmore, 1805 Geary Blvd., S.F.
Fronted by singer-songwriter Alicia Bognanno, whose raspy yet power-feminine voice triggers memories of Joan Jett, Bikini Kill and L7, Bully is a young band with an old rock soul. The band's debut album may have come out in 2015, but Bully's sound almost tricks you into believing it could have toured with the likes of 1990s grunge greats like Nirvana and Dinosaur Jr. With fan favorites like "Trying" and "I Remember" plus new material from its sophomore album, "Losing," released just last year, get ready to headbang. And don't forget your flannel.
7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 23. $18-$20. Great American Music Hall, 859 O'Farrell St., S.F.
Omar Banos, the 19-year-old Chicano artist from Los Angeles, is blowing up everyone's playlist with his romantic bedroom-produced pop tracks like "One and Only," "Amore de Siempre" and "Lo Que Siento." Sure, he plays 10 days after Valentine's Day, but Cuco's chillwave tunes are appropriate for lovers and hopeless romantics any time of the year.
7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 24. $18-$60. Gray Area Foundation for the Arts, 2665 Mission St., S.F.
G Perico
The G-Funk era is back, and G Perico is funking out with a gangster twist just in time for a new generation to enjoy West Coast hip-hop the O.G. way. Sometimes sporting a Jheri curl like NWA-era Ice Cube and Eazy-E or braids like Snoop Dogg, this South Central L.A. rapper pays homage to his forefathers both in his fashion and music style.
8 p.m. Monday, Feb. 19. $15-$20. The New Parish, 1743 San Pablo Ave., Oakland.
Japanese Breakfast and Jay Som
Created by Korean American singer-songwriter Michelle Zauner, Japanese Breakfast makes my top picks at Noise Pop fest for the second year in a row. This time, however, the indie rock outfit known for producing ethereal pop tunes is expected to perform songs off the band's latest album, "Soft Sounds From Another Planet." But what makes this show a must-see is that it's co-headlined by the East Bay's own Jay Som, the moniker of Filipino American songwriter Melina Duterte. What was once Duterte's private little dream pop project has resulted in two albums — her latest, "Everybody Works," dropped in March — with songs that draw from her family's immigrant history and her Bay Area roots.
7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 21. $15-$17.50. The Ritz, 400 S. First St., San Jose; 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 22. $18-$20. Gray Area Foundation for the Arts, S.F.
Rostam Batmanglij rose to fame as a founding member of Vampire Weekend and later the electro soul group Discovery. But more recently, the first generation Iranian American producer and multi-instrumentalist has made his mark on his own simply as Rostam. His solo debut album "Half-Light" was released last year and delivers beautiful indie electronic tunes that new listeners and longtime fans of his collaborative works will appreciate.
But don't snooze on Rostam's openers — particularly High Sunn. This young batch of musicians from San Bruno are just too fun (I dare you to not bop to "Ramen Waitress").
8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 23. $20-$22. Slim's, 333 11th St., S.F.
Shamir came in hot with his debut album, "Ratchet," and hasn't cooled down since. With an androgynous countertenor voice backed by disco and house-infused beats, Shamir's music is a celebration of fabulousness. Even while his follow-up, 2017's "Revelations," sounds a little more like Bilal's neo soul slow jams, the Las Vegas singer-songwriter's songs demand your hands clap and your body dance.
8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 24. $20-$24. Rickshaw Stop, 155 Fell St., S.F.
Mariecar Mendoza is The San Francisco Chronicle's arts content editor. Email: email@example.com Twitter: @SFMarMendoza Instagram: @sfchronicle_scene
Noise Pop Music and Arts Festival: Monday, Feb. 19, through Sunday, Feb. 25, at various San Francisco and East Bay venues. Tickets to individual shows and events are available, some free. Festival badges range from $205-$399. http://schedule.noisepop.com

Day job aside, an extraordinary amount of my day consists of Writing – emails, social media posts, letters, shopping lists, to do lists (otherwise known as the masochistic ritual of writing a long list of tasks purely for the pleasure of crossing them out). I'm sure I'm not alone.
UNESCO report that nearly 17% of the world's adult population are illiterate, so if you're reading this you're among the lucky ones, but most of us still don't get taught how to Write really well. We're taught vocabulary and grammar, but we don't get taught how to write engaging content or easily convey a complex task.
Writing is such an integral part of everyday life that it's easy to take it for granted, but the most interesting and enjoyable reads are often the ones that are hardest to write.
We all know how satisfying it is when, after hours of hard work, you manage to pen something that expresses exactly what you want to say and, more importantly, articulates those thoughts and feelings perfectly to the Reader.
Good writing takes practice, it involves making mistakes (and learning from them) and, like any skill worth having, honing it takes a lifetime. I've been writing professionally for 16 years and I still try to improve my writing with every job I do.
Here are a few tips that I wish someone had shared with me when I first started copywriting:
- Value content, not word count. When it comes to writing, less is definitely more. If your college memories include a 20,000 word essay versus a looming deadline, you can be forgiven for thinking word count is king. Academia places a lot of value on this but, while it is valid for those purposes, word count should never be used as a measure of good writing. The best writing tells you what you need to know as painlessly as possible. Length will vary according to the subject and the audience, but never be tempted to pad your work.
- Don't use long words to try and sound like you know more than you do. Write to inform, not to impress. Think about the books you read. The most enjoyable ones paint the scene in your mind without you even realising it's happening. Then there are those with sentences you have to reread several times to understand. Which ones end up bound for the charity shop? Exactly.
- Think about what the reader wants to know, rather than what you want to say. Whatever it is we're writing, we want the reader to be engaged. We all have stories we want to tell, but unless other people can relate to them, yours will be overlooked. Think about what it is you want the reader to take away from your writing and write with that one objective in mind.
- Ask questions. I often have to write about technical subjects that I have very little understanding of (flood attenuation anyone?). I could be lazy and simply write down what the engineers tell me, but that serves no one. The average person is unlikely to get beyond the first sentence without falling into a deep and heavy sleep. So I ask questions until I understand what it is I need to tell the reader. Writing has so many nuances and it can be very easy to completely change the meaning of a sentence with a slight rewording. Always make sure you know your subject and who you're writing for.
- Don't think that the first draft should be perfect. Anyone who declares their first draft of anything a masterpiece is probably delusional. Don't spend painstaking hours creating your first draft. My first draft of anything is essentially the same as my dinner plate when I'm in a hurry – all the constituent parts are there, but it doesn't look pretty. Just get everything you want to say on paper, in no particular order, and then worry about building something beautiful.

House Cannith Challenge Pack is unique in that you can technically play it as a free player (you can get a free challenge token every day, which lets you run a challenge of your choice). This means that you're afforded the luxury of being able to try out the challenges and see if they're to your liking before purchasing the pack! Think of it as a free trial.
Experience: 3.5/5
Challenges adhere to a unique experience mechanic. They can be completed at any level in their given range–for instance, Behind the Door can be completed at any level between 4 and 15–but they can only award their maximum experience at the maximum level. Even so, you're given a lot of flexibility in regards to when you can run these packs (you can run 'em at any level from 4-25), which allows for auxiliary options for those who are…

[ Ep. 2 ] Some Stuff About Going Back To College.

Somebody Shoot Me… Classics!
Going back in time to share my old comic: Somebody Shoot Me!I felt it would be absolutely great to give it a new home and have the comic back up online somewhere where it can get the love it deserves
[ Ep. 1 ] Out With the Old; In With the New.
Life threw me for a loop over the past couple of years, but I came out on top, and probably came out stronger because of it all. Looking forward to sharing some of the highlights, and making fun of some of the bad days :D
Somebody Shoot Me… Again!
Somebody Shoot Me: An utterance of defeated frustration. Often used by someone who is too tired to fight or who is in a hopeless bind. Life sucks, so let's try and make a little fun of the hard times by turning them into comics. Work, life, returning to school as an adult, romance and more~
Parallel World Kita!
Without further ado, here is a short comic I made in 2013. While I had hoped I would have time to develop the idea and goof off with this comic a bit more than 4 pages, I am still really pleased with what came out of it. Especially since it still makes me giggle to this day. Enjoy!
The Store!
Over the many years I've had a website I have used a small variety of tools and options for hosting and managing a mini merchandise store. The majority of the products I offered were indeed t-shirts, among other types of clothing, and the platforms I used were exactly what I needed for the time. However, I now find myself branching off into new ideas and trying to think of more creative ways to look at my designs and with this new line of thought comes a need for a new platform.

Caroline had a brilliant idea while packing for our trip to the season 2 premiere of The Leftovers in Austin last weekend. She knew that bringing along our copy of the May 1972 National Geographic would be a way to catch the attention of the celebrities as they arrived to the premiere and serve as a conversation piece. Not pictured below, but still having signed the magazine are Tom Perrotta and Kevin Carroll.
Her plan worked!

The 2013 fall marathon season opened for NHRR with several PR's and impressive debuts. First, on September 29th at the Robin Hood Half Marathon Ludovic ran a huge PR 1:14:48 in the half-marathon. A couple weeks later Brian posted a 4-minute PR at the Chicago marathon with a time of 2:40:47. Simultaneously, Diana, Nasser and Rachel all had their marathoning debuts at the Hartford marathon in times of 3:16:35, 4:28:14 and 4:38:45, respectively.
With so many impressive debuts and PR's the pressure is on the remaining (ultra-)marathoners with Nathan running the Bimblers Bluff 50k on October 20th and Andrew, Matt, Dan and Eugene running the New York Marathon November 4th. Complete results can be found below.

Be a Queen while waiting for your King!! (or vice versus, LoL!!!)
I work with clients that consistently ask me when will Mr. Right come into my life? Why do I always pick the same type of guy and/or why do they always find me? Will I ever have the future husband/King and family I want?
My questions are then: What are you doing differently? In each situation what was different?
Usually their answer is: Nothing. Hmmm…
We are creatures of habit. Often it takes us going through the same situations repeatedly until it is finally unbearable to be forced to change before we see the light or gather our own conclusions.
So, what is my answer to them?
You will attract what you project. IF you project loneliness, desperation, or lack of confidence then those energies will most likely be in the person who decides to engage with you. IF you appear vulnerable you may find yourself a victim to weaker more predatory energies.
And this is where the idea of being a Queen while waiting for your King is most important. Don't downgrade yourself to servant status and then wonder why only jokers approach you!
NO matter what you think of yourself now, you are a Queen. We are all beautiful and worthy of love, we however must believe it and live in that power. Living in the power of those beliefs allows you to project the energies you want in return.
It's easy to want to settle when you've dated Mr. Wrong too many times. It's easy to get discouraged when you keep meeting the same type of person just different face.
So, what do we do when we get stuck in the same cycle and feel like we are never going to have the future we want or share life with the person in our dreams?
Better yet what causes us to get stuck in such a place?
WE are NOT being the QUEEN!!
Being the QUEEN means being wholesome in oneself. Understanding yourself on a deeper level, carrying confidence in your appearance and projecting the exact energy you want to receive from someone else and energy of the type of person you are willing to engage with, while having defined unspoken standards and visions of what your ideal King embodies so to eliminate anyone who doesn't qualify.
Remember the times being out with friends and everyone was asked to dance but you or your friend got a number for later and you didn't even get approached? Those times can leave you feeling unwanted, unnoticed and unattractive. But what if we are looking at it the wrong way? What if our energy and the way we carry our self directly reflects on who is brave enough to approach you? On who you would want to approach you?
In times like these just remind yourself you are a Queen and you were not asked to dance not because you are unwanted or unattractive, it's because your King wasn't there to notice you.
You can't expect a King if you blend in with all the other people around you. Queens are the ones who know their worth, have experienced less and decided to never settle again. Kings are attracted to Queens. Only a King will be brave enough to approach a Queen.
If you act like a servant you will most likely attract the joker of the court.
So, empower yourself! Believe you deserve better than what you have allowed in your life! Don't get discouraged while waiting because it takes just as much effort to become a King as it does a Queen so wait for him to appear. And no matter how long it takes stay the Queen while waiting on your King!!!
(aka Scorpion Kingdom Queen) This one is for you Justin and all the hard work we have put into being who we are!!!

Here's a Father's Day financial tip: Put your children to work.
Paying your kids to do regular chores can be a satisfying financial transaction for parents and brilliant financial aid to your children.
You can pay your son to mow the lawn every week this summer and compensate him by contributing up to $5500 to a Roth IRA in his name.
Or make your Father's Day special by asking your daughter to wash your car every week, babysit, tutor, care for an older family member or take on any number of other responsibilities. By converting an allowance to earned income, your children clean up financially and literally. Their Roth IRA grows tax free for 50 years.
And talk about gifts. The Standard & Poor's 500 stock index this past week climbed 1.6%, to a close on Friday of 2779.03 - just 3% from an all-time closing high of 2872.87 on January 26. The nine-year economic expansion - the second-longest in modern U.S. history - continues to show signs of sustainable growth.
Now, make your Father's Day special by getting your children working! Relax and have a great Father's Day!

Players' values in the offseason really come down to how players are being paid around them , and their recent success. can range in different situations. At the same time, players really control their value. A lot of times you have players who set the contract they want to see when they reject other contracts. If a player is good enough, someone is bound to sign him.The depth of that particular free agency should also be taken into consideration. Last offseason, Sammy Watkins and Allen Robinson were overpaid. Robinson wasn't even healthy the year prior, and Watkins didn't show any glimpses of being a No. 1 receiver. Since there was a lack of talent at the receiver position, they jumped to the top and required the most money. This offseason should be very similar, as there really isn't one wide receiver who screams to be the top target. In fact, a lot of teams may be more interested in trading for receivers considering A.J. Green and Antonio Brown will likely be on the trade block.The talent available this offseason is really heavy on defense. Safeties might surprisingly get paid a lot of money when they sign new deals. Last offseason, safeties struggled to find jobs. Now looking at this offseason, there are star safeties who don't look to be re-signing with their teams. This is an opportunity for teams to find themselves an athletic playmaker in the back end of their defense. Depth and need for position determine a lot, but we will analyze which players will get overpaid , and which guys can be sneaky steals. Adam Jones took a big swing, and the result was a popup. He slammed his bat to the ground in disgust and dutifully jogged to first base.
Somehow, that seemingly routine out became the catalyst for a six-run inning that carried the Baltimore Orioles past the Los Angeles Angels 8-2 on Sunday.
Manny Machado and Mark Trumbo hit consecutive homers after the Angels lost the popup in the sun, and the Orioles got a strong pitching performance from Kevin Gausman in snapping a seven-game losing streak.
Los Angeles was up 1-0 when Jones led off the fourth against Deck McGuire (0-1) by hitting a ball high in the air. Second baseman Ian Kinsler couldn't catch sight of it, and the ball landed on the dirt between second and first for a gift single.
"Sounds funny to say, but those are the types of things that have been happening to us," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "Kinsler's as good a second baseman as there is."
Machado followed with his 21st home run , Trumbo connected , and Steve Wilkerson singled in a run before Tim Beckham capped the surge with a two-run single.
The home runs were lamentable, but the popup was especially galling to the Angels.
"Obviously it's unexpected. It happens," manager Mike Scioscia said. "He thought he had a bead on it and all of a sudden it disappeared in the sun."
Jones got credit for a hit, but it sure didn't feel that way.
"Sure , it's just like an error," Scioscia said. "I don't think (McGuire) was affected by it, but obviously it adds fuel to the fire and starts a rally for them."
Trumbo homered again in the fifth and Trey Mancini also connected to help Baltimore secure its only victory during a seven-game homestand that began with four straight losses to Seattle.
Gausman (4-6) weathered temperatures in the upper 90s to go eight innings, allowing two runs and six hits to end a run of eight straight winless starts.
The Orioles improved to 1-15 against the AL West and won at home for only the second time in 19 games since May 13.
Baltimore still owns the worst record in the majors, but there were plenty of smiles to go around on this day.
"We're undefeated in July," Showalter said with a grin. "Sometimes, you have to laugh to keep from crying, right? We have good people. It just hasn't happened for us, but we have half the season left. That's the approach we're taking."
Kole Calhoun homered and Albert Pujols drove in a run for the Angels, who were seeking the first season sweep of Baltimore in franchise history. They settled for going 5-1, their fewest losses against the Orioles in one year.
LA reliever Eduardo Parades has allowed five HRs in 16 1/3 innings. … Gausman did not allow a walk for the fifth time this season. … Wilkerson recorded his first career double, but Showalter said the rookie left with an apparent oblique injury. … Angels star Mike Trout did not reach base for only the 12th time in 85 games this year.
Angels: DH/RHP Shohei Ohtani (elbow) was scheduled to take live batting practice in California. Asked if the two-way star could be activated for this week's series against Seattle , Scioscia replied, "Let's get by today, see how he does." … RHP Garrett Richards (hamstring) could be ready to come off the DL on Wednesday to start against Seattle.
Orioles: OF Colby Rasmus was held out with an illness. … RHP Darren O'Day said he opted for season-ending surgery on his hamstring because there was no guarantee he would be healthy by September. "I need to functionally get it fixed so it just doesn't happen again," he said. … RHP Chris Tillman (back) will need at least one more rehabilitative start after allowing five runs and eight hits in 3 2/3 innings for Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday night.
Angels: After taking Monday off, LA faces Seattle on the road to launch a three-game series. Andrew Heaney (4-5, 3.95 ERA) is 0-3 with a 6.14 ERA in seven road starts.
Orioles: Following a day off Monday, Baltimore sends Alex Cobb (2-9, 6.75) to the mound in the opener of a two-game interleague series in Philadelphia.
The term "success" though,

School Objectives
Below are the objectives for QSI Sarajevo as approved by the Middle States Association. Our objectives will be a focus for our school the next seven years. MSA will be visiting our school March 24-27th to evaluate our Self-Study and see all of the wonderful things we offer. Thank you for your continued participation and support.
Student Performance Objective #1: WRITING
By 2026, students at QSI International School of Sarajevo from the 5-year-old class to Secondary IV will improve their writing skills as measured by:
1) 90% of students from 5-year-old to Secondary II will reach their individual MAP Growth Language Usage growth goals.
2) 95% of students from 5-year-old to Secondary IV will pass an internally designed writing benchmark assessment which applies to the Six Traits of Writing.
3) 100% of students enrolled in elementary literacy-writing and secondary writing courses will demonstrate mastery of all units in which they are enrolled (no more than 10 units per writing course to be counted).
Student Performance Objective #2: SCIENCE
By 2026, students at QSI International School of Sarajevo will demonstrate increased proficiency in science as measured by:
1) 90% of students from 5-year-old to Secondary II will reach their individual MAP Growth Science growth goals.
2) 100% of students enrolled in elementary science courses will demonstrate mastery of all units in which they are enrolled.
3) 100% of students enrolled in secondary science courses will demonstrate mastery of all units in which they are enrolled.
Organizational Capacity Objective #1: SERVICE LEARNING
By 2026, QSI International School of Sarajevo will demonstrate an increased dedication to service learning as measured by:
1) 100% participation of all students in at least one service learning project per year.
2) An increase of at least one service learning offering by the school each year.
Fully Accredited
QSI International School of Sarajevo is fully accredited through internationally recognized Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA). MSA verifies that the QSI International School of Sarajevo meets or exceeds quality educational standards, is engaging in a program of continuous school improvement, and is providing for quality assurance through self-evaluation and peer review.
The Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools is a nongovernmental, non-profit, peer-administered organization of diverse educational institutions committed to ensuring that students in accredited schools are receiving the highest quality education. Additionally, the association seeks to ensure that accredited schools are engaged in continuous improvement efforts through effective leadership, a comprehensive program of self-study, evaluation by peer educators external to the school, meeting the requirements for accreditation, exemplary programs, and supportive services. For more than 125 years, the association has provided leadership in educational quality and school improvement for its member schools.
What is Accreditation?
Since the turn of the 20th century, accreditation has had a major impact on American education, with Middle States Association among the pioneers in the field. Today it is a concept that few people understand and yet one from which many could benefit.
At its inception, accreditation responded to the public demand for improved quality and greater accountability for schools serving society's needs. The U.S. Department of Education describes approved accrediting organizations such as Middle States as a "reliable authority as to the quality of education." Accreditation is an external, objective validation of school quality and student achievement that fosters continuous school improvement.
Profile of a Middle States-Accredited Institution:
- Adheres to the Middle States Standards for Accreditation;
- Uses its mission, beliefs, and goals as the basis for daily decision-making;
- Operates in the public interest and in accordance with ethical practice;
- Accepts responsibility for the level of performance of its students;
- Remains committed to continuous improvement in student learning and to its capacity to produce the levels of learning desired and expected by its community;
- Operates in a collegial and collaborative way with all of its stakeholders;
- Sustains its focus on implementing recommendations, addressing monitoring issues and correcting stipulations that may be part of its notification of accreditation and fulfills its maintenance requirements to the Commission.
Taken from http://www.msa-cess.org/RelId/606525/ISvars/default/What_is_Accreditation.htm
World Class Standards for Schools Worldwide
Today, more than 3,000 schools, school districts and educational institutions throughout the United States and in more than 85 countries around the globe are accredited by the Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS).
MSA-CESS standards, protocols and accreditation services reflect the latest research on school effectiveness and school improvement and uses volunteers trained in critical peer review to provide an external validation of a school's or school district's performance.
MSA accreditation provides its members with the knowledge and processes necessary for implementing school improvement and achieving higher levels of student performance.
Recent research suggests the critical differences between schools that make the grade and those that struggle are the:
- Degree to which the school clearly understands what it needs to do to improve;
- Extent to which the plan to improve is supported by school and community stakeholders; and,
- Capacity of, and commitment by, the school to implement and sustain its plan to improve over time.
- Middle States accreditation helps a school critically review its current performance, set a course for improvement and build the commitment and support necessary for significant and long-term improvement.
- Accreditation helps ensure that schools are making the most efficient use of available resources. Middle States accredited schools are better positioned to use time, talent and money in the most efficient and effective way possible.
Whether a school or district looks to build on its record of high performance and solid reputation, or is interested in setting a new course for continuous school improvement, Middle States Accreditation is a catalyst for making every school, and ultimately every school district, better.

Justin Dhillon scored in his fourth straight game and Jesse Daley added the other marker for the visitors, while First Team goalkeeper Bryan Meredith made six saves, including multiple highlight-reel stops. Defiance has now played to three consecutive draws after dropping its previous six matches.
Dhillon's goal came in the fourth minute of the match, just 11 days after he set a USL Championship record by scoring nine seconds into the game against Reno 1868 FC. He now leads the club in goals with four.
In the 21st minute, Azriel Gonzalez sent a pass back to Daley near the top of the box to set up Tacoma's second goal of the evening. Daley blasted a shot to the top left corner of the goal for his first marker of the season to give Defiance a 2-0 advantage. The assist was Gonzalez's second of the season, which leads the club.
Galaxy II scored in the 87th and 90th minutes to salvage a home point. Frank Lopez tallied the first marker for Los Dos, and assisted on the second. Brian Iloski netted the equalizer on a blast from outside the area that missed an outstretched Meredith.
Five players under the age of 20 saw action for Tacoma tonight, including one First Team player in Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez and one Academy player in Gabe Threadgold.
Tacoma Defiance next hosts El Paso Locomotive FC at Cheney Stadium on Saturday, June 1 (7:00 p.m. PT / ESPN+). The club then embarks on a four-game road trip, beginning with a match at Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC on Saturday, June 8 (5:00 p.m. PT / ESPN+).

The Cheapest Way To Earn Your Free Ticket To Bengal Cat How Big Do They Get | Bengal Cat How Big Do They Get
Bengal Cat How Big Do They Get
– One very important aspect to consider in buying a Bengal cat is the real price. But if you want to have a Bengal into your home, you should really well know it is a rare breed. With rarity comes the high price, and that means you ought to anticipate a Bengal cat could price from 500 USD to about 5,000 USD, based on what Bengal quality you prefer.
As you know, there are three main types of Bengals-pet quality, breeder quality, and display quality. Pet quality Bengals cost 500-1,000 USD while a breeder or show quality Bengal could price from 1,500-5,000 USD (reveal Bengals may be expensive depending upon the breeder).
Besides the actual purchase of this Bengal, it's also advisable to observe the basic expenses in keeping or maintaining it. Here are some considerations so that You Might Have an idea of just how much a Bengal may price:
Micro-chipping is very important for the identification of your Bengal. It actually makes a difference especially in the event that you lose your kitty by chance. Embedding a microchip into your cat may cost you 50 USD.

The price of the breeder cat food varies from time to time, based on the purchase price of raw materials. You need to keep yourself updated with the price variations in the local grocery store.
Medical care
This might also have possible emergency care, hospitalization, supplements, and other medications. This is a really important factor in determining how far a Bengal could purchase. Vaccinations price 50-70 USD, whilst flea and de-worming medications cost 20 USD.
Insuring your Bengal cat could genuinely help you from the entire medical cost to becoming you reunited with your Bengal (if ever you lost it). Including this in your Bengal budget is a must. Bengal cat insurance may cost 30 USD monthly.

Regardless, you still need to think about the costs in keeping your Bengal cat.

I do read a lot, my own interests, and for my classes, especially since I'm in the arts.
My favorite books are mostly series, but these are the top ten that I've reread many times.
- Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini: If you want magic, dragons, elves, dwarves, and humans, this is your go to.
- Divirgent Trilogy by Veronica Roth: Dystopian style novel that has a female lead, Tris, that kicks butt. And yes, the books are WAY better than the movies.
- Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling: Boy with a scar goes on many adventures, if you haven't heard of it, what are you doing with your life??
- Coraline by Neil Gaiman: This one's a bit creepy, in a good way, and the protagonist Coraline is pretty darn sassy. The animated movie is also great, if you'd rather watch it!
- 1984/Animal Farm by George Orwell: If you want either a scarily accurate portrayal of the future, or a giant farm metaphor for communism in Russia, George Orwell is your guy.
- Down the Rabbit Hole by Peter Abrahams: It's fairy tale mixed with being a teenager, theater, and murder mystery. He's written a few other novels with the same protagonist, so check those out too!
- Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt: This is a novel about what it would be like to have eternal life, and it's one of the first books that really spoke to me. It's super short, and it also has a movie.
- The Uglies Series by Scott Westerfeld: This is a dystopian trilogy (there is a fourth book, however) that follows the story of a girl who just doesn't fit in. It'll make you cry, and question beauty ideals.
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen: Never can go wrong with a classic love story, I'm still secretly looking for my Mr.Darcy.
- ANYTHING by Tamora Pierce: And by anything, I mean any one of her series. She writes fantasy mostly, but her worlds are so detailed and some even connect in a giant timeline. Not to mention, a lot of her protagonists are pretty badass ladies.
Anyways, hope this inspires some of you out there to pick up some of these books, because they're all awesome, by amazing authors. Comment your favorite book below and I might check it out in my free time!

Burger chain Prime Cooking is planning to work its kitchens hard in the run up to Halloween – by producing what it claims is the world's most "dangerous" burger.
The company is warning customers to eat at their own risk after creating the 'Grim Reaper', a burger that contains the Carolina Reaper pepper, notorious for being the hottest chilli on the planet.
Prime Burger joked that staff would be issued with protective gloves and goggles when cooking the burger, which is available from now until 31 October.
At a "sun-scorching" 1.6 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU), the Carolina Grim Reaper has even made it into the Guinness World Records for its ferocity.
To give you an idea of its power, Tabasco sauce measures just 5,000 heat units on the Scoville scale.
Prime Burger is adding the peppers to its home-made chilli jam, which is then slathered over its British Beef patties.
The chain has restaurants at Euston and St Pancras International.

Muriel Taylor has deep reasons for voting for Mitt Romney for president. Taylor was in a group of women supporting Romney when I asked them for reasons for their support. Taylor wrote down her reasons, which resonated strongly with me.
Taylor, who is not only a Romney supporter but my friend, said, "I am voting for Mitt Romney because I love my country. I believe the freedom that I cherish is being eroded by the ever encroaching arm of the federal government. It has become a giant octopus with tentacles that search for every way possible to feed itself off the labors of the people and to crush the life out of them by all its rules and regulations."
This rang true with President Barack Obama's whacks at religious freedom and increasing regulations on small businesses. These have got to stop.
Taylor continued by saying, "The staggering national debt is just one of the many things that is wrong with the present administration. Our country is in serious danger if we do not make a change in the upcoming election. I am amazed at the class warfare that is going on because Romney is a successful businessman. I can't ever remember success being an issue. I was under the assumption that is what we want in a leader. He is someone who has had the experience and has proven himself quite able in fiscal responsibility, which he did when he was governor of Massachusetts."
Taylor is right. Romney is successful financially and a proven leader but also in turning around the Olympics in Salt Lake City. We could greatly benefit with his job-growth plans to regain economic strength individually and as a country.
In the last paragraphs, Taylor, brought up Romney's character and what the country needs to be strong.
"I believe Mitt Romney to be a moral and virtuous man. I know this is probably an out-of-date way of thinking for some but the Founding Fathers believed we should seek for virtuous leaders. Samuel Adams said, 'Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man.'
"There seem to be people who are more than willing to give their freedoms away. I, for one, am not. I love my country and my freedom. Too many have died for it. I want to continue to live under the principles of the Constitution and that is why I am voting for Mitt Romney."
These are some of the reasons I will vote for Mitt Romney as well.

A critically ill asylum seeker was left without proper care on Manus Island because Australian immigration officials failed to give permission for his transfer to a hospital, an inquest has been told.
Four doctors agreed that Hamid Kehazaei, who died in 2014 from a treatable bacterial infection, needed to be "urgently transferred" because facilities on Manus Island were inadequate, the third day of an inquest into his death in Brisbane heard on Wednesday.
But Kehazaei was left stranded on the island another full day because of bureaucratic delays from Canberra, and because he didn't have a Papua New Guinea visa, even though he was already in the country.
Doctors have told the inquest that the Manus Island detention centre clinic was, at that time of Kehazaei's death, not sterile and stricken by regular power failures, that nurses were insufficiently trained and regularly failed to follow instructions, and that the limited numbers of diagnostic machines were broken.
The inquest also heard that critically ill asylum seekers could not be moved from the detention centre without express permission from the Department of Immigration and Border Protection in Canberra, or without a Papua New Guinean visa, which they needed even to travel to a hospital elsewhere in PNG.
Marten Muis, the senior medical officer on Manus Island on 25 August, said it was clear at 8am that morning that the 24-year-old Iranian man needed to be urgently moved to hospital.
Muis spoke to the emergency doctor on the island, Leslie King, and the area medical director for Manus, Anthony Renshaw, who both agreed that Kehazaei needed to be flown off the island to hospital on the commercial flight that was scheduled for that afternoon.
Muis also spoke with Sydney-based Yliana Dennett at International SOS – the company which organised medical transfers – who agreed that moving Kehazaei to hospital that day "was a very good idea ... he's a chance to develop a much worse infection".
A fifth doctor, Richard McGrath, who was also on Manus, had agreed to be Kehazaei's medical escort on the flight.
However, Kehazaei was not moved from the island until lunchtime the next day, 26 August. By that time his condition had deteriorated so badly he had to be flown by air ambulance to Port Moresby's Pacific International hospital. His transfer to Port Moresby was in defiance of doctors' recommendations, who had requested he be flown directly to Australia.
Once in Port Moresby, he suffered three heart attacks before being flown, again by air ambulance, and now unconscious, to Brisbane.
Kehazaei never regained consciousness and was declared braindead at Brisbane's Mater hospital on 2 September. His life support machines were turned off, with his family's permission, on 5 September.
On Manus Island, Muis said the medical facilities to care for sick asylum seekers were "extremely basic".
"There was no x-ray machine or laboratory to carry out diagnostic facilities," he said.
There was a machine for basic blood tests, but it was broken at the time. "The only test we could do at the time I was there was a malaria test," Muis said.
A document showed to the inquest demonstrated a Piccolo blood-test machine did run tests on Kehazaei but was not seen by Muis until after he had been evacuated.
Muis told the inquest on Wednesday there was "no way in hell" he would send a patient to Lorengau hospital on Manus Island which "wasn't ... what we would call a hospital". It also suffered from staffing and equipment problems too.
"They had a nice x-ray machine, but the radiologist had gone back to Moresby because she hadn't been paid for three months," he said.
Muis said he spoke to International SOS on the morning of 25 August to arrange for Kehazaei's transfer to Port Moresby on a commercial flight at 5pm that day. That flight was agreed to in a conversation played to the inquest on Wednesday.
But by 3pm, there had been no formal approval.
"I rang [International SOS] and said 'I thought we had an agreement for an urgent transfer, we are under the impression that this patient is going with the outgoing senior medical officer at 5[pm]. We haven't got much time left, can you tell me what's happening?'
"I was told 'it's not happening, because we haven't obtained a visa'. They then went into some kind of story about people in the detention centre, even though they were already on PNG soil ... needed a visa [to be transferred to a PNG hospital]."
Muis was told that if plans had been made earlier, an air ambulance could have been organised, but because the Momote airfield on Manus Island was "daytime only" it could not be arranged for that day.
"They said 'we're very sorry, but you're on your own and you're going to have to keep this man overnight'."
Muis said the emergency doctor in the detention centre, Leslie King, was "very distressed and angry" about Kehazaei not being moved.
"At that stage, he certainly wasn't well enough for any major interventions. I went to the little pharmacy, and I remember looking through what else we had in the way of intravenous antibiotics."
By the next morning, Kehazaei's condition had deteriorated further. The overnight nursing staff had not followed instructions and had failed to provide him with intravenous fluids.
In the morning, he had become confused and combative with staff. He had ripped the IV lines out of his arms, and was refusing to wear a facemask.
"He was the most awful colour I've ever seen in a human being," Muis, a doctor of 40 years' experience, said.
"He had noticeably deteriorated, he was a sort of grey-purply colour. His breathing was over 30, he seemed confused. If you went anywhere near him to put a mask on him, he would put his arms up or strike out.
"It wasn't an urgent case any more, it was an emergency and we needed to get him out."
Manus Island health services manager Lyn Baczocha told the inquest she was told by immigration department officials on Manus that Kehazaei could not be moved because approval had not been granted by senior staff in Canberra.
"I had the ambulance drivers ready, the paperwork was ready, the security was ready, the medical escort was ready."
Stephen Keim, acting for Kehazaei's family, asked Baczocha: "The only thing that was missing was the go-ahead from Canberra?"
"Yes," Baczocha replied.

Featured Review: Earth to Skye by Diana Sherry Case
About This Book:
Liv and Skye have been best friends since pre-school. At sixteen, they are trying to make the leap from "Hello Kitty" to lace thong underwear. Skye is incredibly talented and beautiful and into everything she can find in her Mom's medicine cabinet. Her parents don't seem to care what she does. Her mother is an ex-model who parties all the time and her dad still travels with his punk-rock band, leaving Skye to look after her two little sisters – when she's not hanging around with her homeless junkie boyfriend. Liv's parents are feeling their way through a recent divorce, but everyone seems to be OK with it. Then one day, all Liv has left is Skye's journal – her thoughts, frustrations, hopes and fears, her colorful drawings – and a lot of anger. She decides to join her mom – an award-winning documentary filmmaker – on a trek across The Himalaya as she films the charity work of a Tibetan monk. It is a long and harrowing journey for Liv who takes Skye's journal with her to read when no one else is around. Liv has so many questions. Will Skye's journal give her the answers she needs to be able to let go?
*Review Contributed By Amalie Jahn, Staff Reviewer*
Earth to Skye Delivers
Told in two distinct parts - before Skye's death and Liv's trip the Himalaya after, I enjoyed seeing the juxtaposition not only between the two settings but how the two girls lives were also juxtaposed against one another. Case truly captures how easy it can be for a teen to spiral out-of-control into addiction without a proper support system. We see Skye struggling to overcome (and eventually succumbing to) a series of bad decisions which might have been avoided had her circumstances been different
The most endearing aspect of this book for me, however, was Liv's reaction to her best friend's death and the way she chose to confront her feelings head-on. At its core, Earth to Skye is a coming-of-age novel about finding out who you are when faced with having to move on from something painful. Case certainly rises to the challenge and delivers a compelling read.

text: Badder 8,385 #1 Posted January 19, 2017 Once again, I have to congratulate Creative Models Ltd on their swift and excellent service. Yesterday I used up some Christmas gift cards and ordered four Eduard Photo Etch sets from said company through Amazon. The sets were for a Tamiya StuG IV, and a Tamiya Tiger I, both of which are currently residing in my stash. When I ordered them I did not realise that Creative Models Ltd were the stockists until I went to the 'checkout'. I was very happy to see this as I've had very good service from them in the past. The Amazon site though, said that three sets would be sent in one package, and the fourth separately. Given the size of the items, I thought this a bit silly. The site also said that the items could be delivered 'as early as 23rd Jan.' So, I was very pleased and surprised to receive all four sets in the one package at midday today. Well done Creative Models. Yours sincerely, Badder 1 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't throw things away that just need a little tlc and creativity. All three of these items were left in my house when I bought it. It's easy to throw things out to get them out of the way, but if you take the time, they can turn into a decor piece that works in your room.
None of these projects took over a few hours of work and in most cases I used left over materials from other projects so some were virtually free.
The black dining room chairs' seat cushions are actually burlap fabric from old curtains that one of my dogs had chewed the bottom of and I could no longer use.
