Autism Spectrum Disorder in Children
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a category of developmental disability that messes up one's behavioral, communication and social skills. People with autism have no unique bodily deficiency that separates them from others but they can interact, behave and learn differently than most.
Their learning ability can turn from gifted to severely-challenged. Some are in need of continuous aid in their day by day function and task while others do not. Other than that, they have recurring behaviors and oftentimes show a lack of interest in altering their daily tasks.
In order to analyze if your baby has autism spectrum disorder, you need to know the differential diagnosis on the following conditions:
- Autistic disorder
- Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS)
- Asperger syndrome.
These conditions that used to be diagnosed separately now fall under autism spectrum disorder.
Even with that, identifying ASD can be easier said than done because there are no medical tests involved. Instead, medical professionals base their conclusion on the behavior of the child and his or her development. That said, you can deduce if your child may have ASD if he or she shows the following traits:
- Failing to point or spot objects if pointed by others
- Not looking at things or persons when the other person points at them
- Finding difficulty in relating with others
- Showing lack of concern at other people
- Avoiding eye contact
- Preferring to be alone
- Finding it hard to speak up about their own feelings
- Failing to understand the feelings of other people
- Not wanting to be held or cuddled unless they want to or feel like it
- Being oblivious when people converse with them but show reactions to other sounds
- Echoing words or phrases that were said to them (echolalia) in order to get through want what they want
- Not properly expressing their desires with the use of distinctive words or actions
- Not taking part in "pretend" games
- Having senseless and cyclical actions
- Not adapting in a changing routine
- Having out of the ordinary reactions to their senses (the way things smell, taste, look, feel or sound)
- Losing the abilities they once had
Signs of autism spectrum disorder usually begin during early childhood (approximately at 18 months or younger) and lasts throughout a person's life. Nonetheless, if the child is diagnosed with ASD by the age of 2 it is already considered very reliable.
Unfortunately, a lot of children do not receive a final diagnosis by a professional until they are much older. This delay signifies that children with ASD are inopportune to access the early help and proper treatment they needed, resulting in their permanent dysfunction.
To prevent this, have your child checked by experts and if the doctor or healthcare professional confirms the condition in your child, it is not the end of the world for you.

The death toll in the US-Bangla Airlines plane crash in Nepal climbed to 51 after two more people succumbed to injuries in a hospital here on Tuesday as the Nepali government formed a probe panel to investigate the aviation disaster, reports Ians.
The Nepali Home Ministry said in a press release that 22 Nepalis, 28 Bangladeshis and a Chinese passenger lost their lives in Monday's accident — the worst in the Himalayan nation since a 1992 Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) crash that claimed 167 lives.
The injured were receiving treatment at various hospitals in Nepal. There were 71 passengers, including four crew members on board when the ill-fated aircraft crashed on Monday while landing at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA).
Investigators retrieved the flight data recorder from the wreckage of the plane.
The aircraft caught fire when it narrowly escaped hitting the tail of a Thai Airways plane parked along the runway. The ill-fated plane was said to have circled the airport twice before trying to land, the Kathmandu Post reported.
According to preliminary findings, the 78-seater Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft crashed due to a communication error between the cockpit and the control tower. The airline and airport authorities blamed each other for the disaster.

While the airline blamed air traffic control, the airport said the plane landed from the wrong direction due to pilot's "missed approach".
Environment Minister Lal Babu Pandit told the media that a probe panel — to be headed by former Secretary Yagya Prasad Gautam — had been formed to investigate the aviation disaster.
Meanwhile, relatives of the Bangladeshi victims of the plane crash arrived here to identify their kin.
"One of our flights already reached Kathmandu with 46 relatives and family members of victims and officials. We are now working on bringing the bodies back home and ensuring medical treatment for injured victims," a spokesman for the US-Bangla Airlines, Kamrul Islam, said.
Bangladesh's Minister for Civil Aviation and Tourism A.K.M. Shahjahan Kamal and Foreign Minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali were in Nepal taking stock of the situation.
Two officials from Bangladesh's Ministry of Planning, who were travelling to Nepal for a regional symposium on ecosystem services and poverty alleviation in South Asia, were among the dead.
Meanwhile, the Kathmandu-based Secretariat of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) conveyed condolences to the peoples and governments of Bangladesh and Nepal over the loss of lives in the horrific accident.

Heavenly Father blessed me with MANY tender mercies 8-29-201612:33 PM
Hola Familia!
La semana pasada fue muy dificil pero muy gratificante tambien! This week was such a hard week, I didn't think it was ever going to end, but it was also a very good week and my Heavenly Father blessed me with MANY tender mercies!
It has probably been the hottest it's been all summer this week and we spent most of our time walking around and knocking on doors looking for people to teach! I was soaking wet every day... it was super gross, but definitely a character building experience I would say for sure. (;
Monday after P-day we went to Angie's and had a lesson with her and taught her some Spanish. She's doing awesome and she's always so much fun! She has been having a lot of health problems and I can't remember if I wrote about this already but on Saturday the Elders went over and gave her a priesthood blessing and after the blessing all of her health problems completely went away! It was a miracle. After Angie's we spent the rest of our night on the streets looking for people to teach!
Tuesday we had all of our studies, our service at Bargain Box, and then we went and visited a member in the ward. She's been working for her temple recommend for a little while but we felt like she might need an extra push so we dropped by and she was home! We did a virtual temple tour of the Philadelphia temple and talked all about temples and why we should go and the spirit was so strong! We were all in tears and I know that our Father and Savior were very close by during that lesson. We spent the rest of our day tracting and then we had a member in the ward feed us dinner (which was super yummy) and then we went to relief society to help the sisters out on some visiting teaching activities.
Wednesday we had another lesson with Angie (those are always my favorite). And then more tracting. And then we went and saw Zaira! We had a lesson with her and her three cute little boys. We taught them the ten commandments using our fingers and they loved it, they were laughing the whole time and it was so much fun! Then we did more tracting. And then we had a lesson with Fidencio, we're helping him read from the Book of Mormon so we read all about the Brother of Jared together! After that we had to hurry home for a skype conference with the missionaries in our district to receive some more training. I seriously think it's so cool all of the resources we have to do missionary work.
Thursday we had district meeting and did our district lunch. I love district lunches they're my absolute favorite! We drove to Winchester afterwards and did some tracting in Winchester... we found a lot of people who spoke Spanish but unfortunately no one was interested. After Winchester we ate dinner and then went to a lesson with Angie. Unfortunately she can't be baptized so we had to talk to her about that and she actually handled it super well! Maybe in the future she'll be baptized but she can't right now. But we're still going to go over there and teach her and help her come closer to Christ! After Angie we went and saw Fidencio and he told us he didn't want Sean to get baptized and I almost just started crying. He said he didn't feel like Sean was ready but we had a good talk and then he said he would have a good talk with Sean to figure some things out. After Fidencio's lesson we went home and had a Facebook lesson with Oscar. It went super well. I think it's so amazing how we are able to have so many more lessons now that we have Facebook. The resources are incredible.
Friday was just a bad day to start with. Hermana Milligan and I were having a bad day and just didn't know what we could do to find and help people. We prayed and then went to work. We were in a neighborhood and we saw this man sitting on his porch so we went and sat by him and started talking to him. He ended up speaking Spanish so that rocked and we probably talked for a solid 40 minutes. He was super interested and said we could come back and teach his whole family! It was such a tender mercy and lifted our spirits. Then Beverly from the ward fed us and it was soooo yummy and we had a lesson with their family. They're the cutest family ever! After we did more tracting and found this house with about 20 Hispanics. We started talking to one and he was asking all sorts of weird questions, I felt super uncomfortable. The last question he asked and he asked it while pointing at me, "Can I marry her even though I'm Catholic and she's Mormon?" And Hermana Milligan says, "Sure! My aunt is Mormon and my uncle is Catholic and they're married." I couldn't believe she said it I was gonna kill her hahaha! And then she realized that he was being serious and it wasn't a scenario and kinda started freaking out. I was about to run away but then Jorge came out and saved the day haha! That one guy left and Jorge started talking to us and he was super interested in what we were doing. He laughed and said he did the exact same thing as us but just the opposite. He goes around trying to convince everyone that there is no such thing as God. I started laughing and called him Alma for the rest of the night. We ended up talking a while and I felt prompted to share a scripture with him, I had him read it and his eyes got HUGE. He looked up and he said, "Crap, if this is true then what I'm doing is not a good thing." hahaha! We talked some more and he said, "Well, I need to know if God is real and I only have 5 days in Paris so you have 5 days to turn me into a man of Christ." So we set up an appointment the next day.
Saturday we had coordination in the morning and then we did service for the entire afternoon. Then we met Jorge at a cafe for his lesson. He was incredible, he read the introduction and testimonies in the Book of Mormon, about three chapters in 3 Nephi, and the entire Restoration pamphlet. We taught the entire Restoration and he had so many questions and was really loving learning. He has a really hard time wrapping his mind around authority and God being real, but the spirit was so powerful and he's figuring out who he is. We added him on Facebook so we could send some more resources for him to study. After his lesson we ate dinner and then did some contacting on the streets and then Elizabeth picked us up for a lesson with Sean. Elizabeth helped Fidencio out with his family history while we had a lesson with Sean. The lesson was awesome and him and Fidencio had a good talk and Sean should be getting baptized this next Sunday and Fidencio is going to baptize him! I'm so excited for him!
Sunday was amazing because HERMANA CROWTHER CAME BACK TO PARIS!!!! I was sooo excited to see her! She made my whole entire day! No. My whole entire month! It was so much fun! But church was good I last minute was asked to teach a Spanish Sunday school class and then a primary class and I did it. It wasn't great, but I did it! This whole mission thing is really preparing me for being a member later in life haha! And then we spend the rest of the night tracting and then we had a lesson with Fidencio! And Fidencio bought us tamales! Oh I was so excited!
But this week has been super good with lots of street walking and tracting. Also... can somebody please remind what the tear drop tattoos mean? Which side means they killed somebody? I think I meet one person a day with the tattoo and I'm not judging... just looking out for my own safety if you know what I mean haha! But other than that Paris is really incredible and I love it so much. I wish I could stay here forever!!
I hope you all had a good week and I hope you all have a great week this week. Have fun at Swiss Days! Oh I'm so sad I'm missing it!! Don't fall into any ditches, eat a scone, and make sure you buy lots of fun stuff! And.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK PAYTON!!! I hope you have such a happy birthday and I hope you know how much I love you! Make sure you check the mail, there's something coming your way!
I love you all soooo very much! Thank you for everything you do for me! I'm such a lucky girl. And of course... Be happy, because life is too short to be anything else!

As most ITD employees are aware, the department's Advantage go-live date has been postponed for a little while. We had reported in the Oct.28 Transporter that the use of electronic timesheets would begin in November with a complete go-live in December.
The Human Resources portion of the system did go live in October as planned and is being used in the department. But we weren't able to resolve a few critical issues in the financial and procurement areas in time for the November date.
Consequently, the steering committee determined that delaying would be in the best interests of the department. Our commitment to provide a quality system remains a constant guiding principle for this project.
Although we've had to postpone, the good news is that we only had a few critical issues to work through and they have been resolved. We were able to begin final, end-to-end, user acceptance testing (UAT) on Dec. 12 and are very optimistic that the system will be ready to go for the new go-live dates.
We have completed the configuration of the production server. We are on the final steps of interface automation, and we have most of the reports ready to go. We also have completed the AP user training. Although we have four weeks available for UAT, which officially will finish on Jan. 6, we expect upwards of 130 people in the system during the first two weeks to complete the bulk of the testing by today (Dec. 23).
We have laid out a test plan to ensure that we hit all types of transactions, coding combinations, document types, etc., will run every interface and report, and will try to pump a large volume of data through all of our processes. We are confident that this final testing will provide the level of system confidence that we were unable to achieve in November.
When we delayed the project we had two options as to the length of delay and these options were driven by where the payroll cycle falls within the month. The first option of four weeks was determined to be impractical because the holidays were right in the middle of that time frame. Also, in November, we were still uncertain that the necessary system fixes would be delivered and in place.
The second option was for a 10-week delay, which was the one selected. So, with the 10-week delay, the use of electronic timesheets will commence on Jan. 17 and four weeks later, on Feb. 13, the entire system will go live.
The delay in the use of timesheets also has resulted
in a delay of timesheet training.
For those of the first wave of timesheet users who had received training in October, and this primarily includes employees in the Division of Administration and all department timekeepers, we will be scheduling refresher training in January for those who feel they need it.

Let's see… where to begin…?
Shane. Blackberry. Stupid.
OK… he either is absolutely nuts, or he has a strategy to convince everybody that he is. What kind of idiot picks up a piece of wood and decides that it's their Blackberry? Somebody drown him please….
the tribe will be divided into two teams of three. Each team member will be attached to a rope that spans the length of an obstacle course. They must follow the rope while navigating the various obstacles. When the final platform is reached, they will unclip from the rope and, one at a time, race across a lily pad run, jump into the water and retrieve one of three bags. Once all three bags have been retrieved, they will clip onto the rope again and make their way back through all the obstacles to the beach. The first team to reach the finish with all three members and all three bags wins the Reward: a barbeque feast.
Terry, Courtney and Danielle vs. Shane, Aras and Cirie
Somehow Cirie, Shane & Ara got tangled up in the water… The other team finished before they even got all their bags. Kinda pathetic. They decide to send Aras to exile island and Cirie & Shane go back to camp alone….
Terry, Courtney and Danielle get told before they go, they get to compete for a car. They fire marbles from a slingshot to break tiles- first to break three wins.
Terry dominates this one too, winning himself a brand new gas-guzzling monster of a vehicle that'll cost him over $100 to fill up….
Then they hop on a plane and fly to some island, hop in Terry's new car and basically film a commercial for it driving thru beautiful scenery. Wonder how much GMC paid to get that in there???? They head to the beach and have a bar-b-q and talk strategy- could the big alliance crumble???
Meanwhile, back at camp… Cirie decides to go fishing. She grabs the little piece of wood with a fishing line attached and heads to the water…. crushes a snail and immediately pulls out a fish! Go figure… they've been fishing for how long now? Cirie pulls one out in 30 seconds.
Scheming, stategizing, blah blah blah….
Each tribe member will kneel at the end of a long plank suspended over a pit of water. They'll be holding on to two ropes connected to a weighted hook. Starting with twenty percent of their body weight, the weight will increase by another ten percent every fifteen minutes. When the weight becomes too much to hold, the ropes will slip from their hands, the plank will give out and they'll fall into the water. The last person left standing wins Immunity.
Shane proves he is not only nuts, but he's a wuss too by dropping in first. Cirie goes next, and thankfully Danielle saves us from having to look at her pit hair right after….
Aras drops next leaving only Courtney and Terry. Courtney looks like she might almost pull it off for a second, but then drops leaving Terry to win his fourth straigh immunity challenge.
Lot's of scheming going on before tribal council, and Cirie decides it's time to make a power play… she pulls in Aras and Danielle and they vote Courtney out, leaving Shane & Terry out in the cold…. Should make for an interesting Shane meltdown next week when he realizes his entire tribe voted differently than they told him.
3 Comments »
Shane is psycho. Terry puts them all to shame strength-wise. I love Cirie. I love that they totally surprised Courtney. I HOPE Shane has a breakdown and gets his butt kicked FINALLY!
Danielle is so forgettable! Every week I think..Who is that??
Comment by Angie | April 28, 2006 |
lol you had to find a picture of that didn't you …ewwwww!!! To bad they can't take razors with them ..lol
Comment by PresentStorm | April 28, 2006 |
Over in Europe this is fashion…..you know the hairy armpits!
Good recap…but this Survivor is a bit boring. I am sick of Terry winning.

The GTC Council is asking all members for suggestions on a new name for the organisation. These suggestions will then be put to eligible members to vote on.For members that are not regular visitors to the online forum or who don't read their 'GTC In Focus' newsletter (shame on you!) this e-mail may come as a bit of a surprise.
For those of you who do either or both, you will be aware that there has been a recent healthy debate on the matter of a change of name for the GTC.
The obvious question of 'Why change the name and why the urgency?' derives from the Council's determination to once and for all put right something which has blighted the organisation almost from its birth. In 1976 the GTC newsletter states that discussions were held to establish whether the name contravened the then new Sexual Discrimination Act but this was dismissed, as members had never heard a female camera operator complain! A decision made then to ignore the problem sees us continuing to struggle with the name 40 plus years later.
At Council meetings there is almost always discussion based around how we can 'modernise' the GTC, and take it into the next 40 years as a young and vibrant organisation (dispelling the myth that we are a bunch of old and out-of-touch cameraman who mutter on about EMI studio cameras and the good old days).
The consensus has always been that we need to engage more with the people who are coming into the industry – mainly, but not exclusively, through the education and university system. Hence the setting up of the annual Bill Vinten GTC University Awards which encourages media students and universities from across the country to compete for a prestigious award and perhaps, more importantly, gain actual work experience with working camera professionals.
So, all good there then, until the last few years when the various educational departments, quite rightly, have begun to question the legitimacy of our name. Here are some extracts from emails from both academic institutions and members received recently:
"Our institution really wants to work closely with respected industry institutions like the GTC... but really ought not to be condoning nomenclature that perpetuates unhelpful stereotypes.
I wonder whether we could persuade you to reopen the debate around the name in the near future? We would be very happy to offer whatever support was needed to help you do so should you consider this appropriate."
"I don't feel it would be appropriate to renew my subscription unless the name changes, sorry."
"The tide has turned on gender and other diversity issues within TV"
On a regular basis we have to explain our name to people who contact us asking for more information about the GTC. Put this on top of the criticisms made to volunteers who spend hours on our exhibition stands trying to attract new members, and you may begin to see why we think there is some urgency to addressing this matter and just how much time is wasted on it.
This year the Council is hoping to embark on the establishment of a GTC Academy, providing information and assistance to people entering the profession by offering help from people working within the industry and tapping into the enormous resource that is our membership. We see this as a natural extension to the Bill Vinten GTC University Awards and the initial response from media educational establishments has been more than enthusiastic (as you might expect). However – the name! Last year Bournemouth University even requested that we didn't display any of our literature and banners (with 'cameramen' included) at the college during the Awards ceremony and, without the support of institutions such as this, it will become more and more difficult to attract new members.
One of the key elements we would like to achieve in the name change though is to keep the initials GTC, particularly as in recent years (given the problems) as much as possible we have been using just the initials and avoiding the controversial full version. However, there are times when, inevitably, you have to explain what the initials actually stand for.
Changing the initials would mean:
All of this would also cost a lot of money if it needed to be carried out, wasting valuable resources unnecessarily that have been built up over the years.
This is not about Political Correctness going too far, but that said, we are at a point where society is transitioning from one dominated by males to one of equality – and we should be embracing and representing this not only in our policies and all areas of activity (as we already do) but in the name as well.
The GTC is not an island – we work with all sorts of organisations, universities, companies, other craft societies etc. – all of which have their own strategies, aims and indeed challenges. We do not blow with the wind every time someone disagrees with us over something (far from it) but it is a constant fine balancing act deciding how to manage the best interests of our members (always the first priority) while also ensuring that the GTC remains important, relevant and sustainable – and continues to attract the high respect it deserves.
Council feels very strongly that the time is right to address this particular issue.
So, what are we asking for at this time? Well, we would like as many members as possible to put forward a revised name for the GTC (preferably, as already stated, maintaining the current initials) so that we can then offer a vote to everyone to find out what name is the best choice going forward.
All members who are on the Full, Fellow, Associate, or Honorary grades of membership, or who are now retired having previously been on one of those grades, will be entitled to a vote - the results of which will then go forward to an EGM (extraordinary general meeting) for formal ratification.
We feel this is a very important issue and so would ask that everyone joins in and votes for the new name that they would like.
Many thanks
Graham Maunder
Chair, GTC on behalf of the GTC Council
How will the vote work?
We'll be using the same system as for the 2016-18 Council Elections, which will hopefully be familiar to most members. If you're an eligible member, you'll receive an email with a unique link inside which you can use to instantly login, and cast your vote.
Results will be announced shortly after the closing date, and the chosen name will be ratified at an Extraordinary General Meeting further on this year.

Technical Abstract: This study evaluated potential differences in immunological responses between an LPS and E. coli challenge in the weaned pig. Forty weaned pigs (14 d, 5 kg) were used in 2 experiments (EXP 1 and 2). In EXP 1, pigs were allotted to 1 of 2 treatments: 1) Cont; i.p. injection of saline or 2) i.p. injection of LPS (150 ug/kg BW). In EXP 2, pigs were also allotted to 1 of f2 treatments: 1) Cont; oral dose of sterile culture media (5 ml) or 2) 5 m oral dose of E. Coli (100 million CFU/ml). Starter rations were fed for 7 d prior to immunological challenges. On d 6 post weaning, all pigs were non-surgically fitted with a jugular cannulae. On d 7 of EXP 1, pigs received their respective i.p. treatments followed by blood sampling every 15 min for 3 h. On d 7 of EXP 2, pigs received their respective treatments followed by blood sampling for 10 h. Serum TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma were assessed by porcine specific ELISAs. In the LPS challenged group, there was a time x treatment effect for serum TNF-alpha (P<.0001) and IFN-gamma (P<.0001), where the first significant difference in serum TNF-alpha was at 0.75 h with 1.38 ng/ml (P=.01). Peak TNF-alpha was 10.85 ng/ml at 1.25 h post-LPS. The first significant difference in serum IFN-gamma was at 1.75 h with 187.1 pg/ml (P=.01). Peak IFN-gamma was 995.4 pg/ml at 3 h. In the E. Coli challenged group, there was no difference in the serum TNF-alpha, however, there was a significant time x treatment difference in serum IFN-gamma (P<.001). There was a trend for E. coli to increase serum IFN-gamma beginning at 5 h compared to controls (P=.14). Peak IFN-gamma was 26.2 pg/ml at 7 h and remained at that level for the duration of the study. These results demonstrate that LPS and E. coli challenges induce very different immunological profiles in the weaned pig.

eAngler.com is under construction and will reopen soon.
Home > Garmin Forerunner 410 Sport Watch w/HR & USB Stick
|Pin It
|Forerunner 410 - Includes Heart Rate and USB Stick
If you're ready to take your training to the next level, Forerunner 410 can get you there. This advanced sport watch is GPS-enabled and accurately records your time, pace, distance, heart rate, elevation and more.
Easy Going
Your training plan may be difficult - your watch shouldn't be. Forerunner 410 sports an enhanced touch bezel that lets you quickly scroll and select features on the run, in all types of weather.
When your workout's done, Forerunner 410 keeps working. It wirelessly uploads your data to our Garmin Connect site when in range of your computer so you can go back and review your run on your own time. It works via ANT+ wireless technology and the USB stick that comes with your watch. No wires, no manual uploads, no sweat.
Data, Any Way You Like It
Forerunner 410 lets you customize up to three training pages with more than 30 different types of data. You can even determine how many data fields are shown on each screen - one big field, two or three smaller fields.
Advanced Training
For extra training benefits, you can create detailed workouts or race the Virtual Partner, a digital depiction of your goal pace vs. actual pace. The courses feature allows you to race a previously recorded activity and try to match or beat it.
If you like to explore new paths, you'll appreciate the 410's basic navigation feature that can guide you back to your starting point. Just follow the arrow on screen and see how far you have to go.
Follow Your Heart
Some versions come with our premium soft strap heart rate monitor to display your heart rate in beats per minute. The watch has five heart rate zones, which you can customize based on your exact zones. Train in a certain heart rate zone to improve your fitness level or compare your pace and heart rate to past performance on the same run. Forerunner 410 provides heart rate-based calorie computations so you can more accurately track your calories burned.
Store, Analyze and Share
Having access to the data recorded by your Forerunner 410 is almost like having your own personal coach. Make the most of it with wireless uploads to Garmin Connect, our website for free data analysis and sharing. Forerunner 410 is compatible with PC or Mac. In Garmin Connect, you can see the route you traveled on a map, view a summary of your run, create goals, find new activities to upload as courses and more.
Fast and Accurate
Forerunner 410 features HotFix satellite prediction, which means it locks onto satellites quickly so you can be out the door and on with your run in no time. It also has a high-sensitivity GPS receiver to stay locked onto satellites, even near tall buildings or under tree cover.
While the 410 can be worn as a watch even when you're not working out, you can also power it down completely in order to conserve battery life.

Hi All,
Its time for everyone to take note in your diaries. On Thursday March 17th, the stunning Kontakte are to launch their next full length album We Move Through Negative Spaces via Drifting Falling Records at Vibe Bar on Brick Lane (London). Stream the album in its entirety HERE
Let me say for now that the prospect of seeing them gets more exciting by the day and that their live show (with visuals!!) is a fantastic mix of electronica, soundscapes, good old fashion post-rock, beautiful, delicate guitar melodies and thunderous walls of sound. THE ULTIMATE CINEMATIC MUSIC EXPERIENCE. And not only is there something for everyone to enjoy in Kontakte, the rest of the line up also features some mighty artists especially chosen to complement the occasion.
IAMBIC from Brighton whose music blends neo-classical elements with electronica. IAMBIC made the amazing remix of Distant Street Lights featured on Codes In The Clouds' Paper Canyon Recycled album released last November. Check it out here.
Also on the bill are Wild Dogs In Winter, a band signed to Gravid Hands Records along side cinematic popsters Fighting Kites. Think Sigur Ros crossed with Do Make Say Think – that Canadian lot from the Godspeed You! Black Emperor days.
And finally we have some newbies on the scene Waking Aida. They're getting quite a lot of attention on the south coast so we thought we'd give them the opportunity to play to the London crowd.
Advance tickets are only £5 so grab em here: wegottickets
PS. Silent Devices are no longer playing.

A lot of vinyl we sell goes on tiles. Tile is nice and quick, but tile may not come in the size or color you need. That is where wood comes in. They make a fabulous wood product called MDF. You can find it at almost all lumber stores. It comes in different thicknesses. I love the 1/4 inch for tiles, and I use the 1/2 inch for signs. The nice thing about MDF is that is doesn't warp. You can also have it cut for you at your lumber store. My mom has been really busy making signs. All of these vinyl designs will be on our website.
This one looks so much like a tile and it is wood. Love it! The nice thing about wood is that it ships well and doesn't brake.
Father's Day is coming soon, and this could be a great one for your dad.

One of the oldest cliches in the book is that if you can win at team sports, you can win at business too. You don't have to look much farther than the spectacular failure of former Red Sox pitcher Kurt Schilling's 38 Studios to know that this truism is not always true.
But sometimes it is true. One such case is San Mateo, Calif.-based DataStax, "the company behind [open source database] Apache Cassandra. We deliver the always on NoSQL database that allows you to have your data anywhere, everywhere, all the time — scaling to previously unimaginable levels," claimed DataStax CEO Billy Bosworth in a January 2 interview.
And five lessons from this successful sports-star-led startup are worth heeding.
Bosworth is a football player from Pittsburgh who played on the University of Kentucky football team while studying computer science, coached high school football for 13 years, worked in Dallas at Quest Systems as relational database management systems database administrator – forming a partnership with DataStax, and in May 2011 joined DataStax as CEO when it had 19 people.
DataStax has been growing fast since — having raised nearly $84 million in venture capital. Explained Bosworth, "After I became CEO, the company ended 2011 with 26 people; ended 2012 with 81; and we now have 170. My vision for DataStax was simple — you cannot build today's applications on 25 year old technology from Oracle. We support an open source database, Cassandra, that has the scalability and availability that today's applications required."
DataStax has added customers at a rapid clip — and they are among the biggest and most complex enterprises in the world. "In 2011, we had around 20 customers and now we have over 300 — including NetFlix and eBay. Other customers don't want to say they are using our product because they see it as a competitive advantage." noted Bosworth.
DataStax is growing because it helps big companies run their operations without interruptions — even if their servers go down in a part of the world. Said Bosworth, "What we do is make sure that their service never goes down — even if a Hurricane Sandy knocks out a company's servers, we keep the service running with barely a blip by shifting its operation to servers."
DataStax makes money in a way that is common for open source companies — it sells an enterprise-strength version. According to Bosworth, "We are a strong supporter of the open source community. And we sell DataStax Enterprise which is a fully vetted and tested enterprise grade version of Cassandra with security, manageability, and mixed workload capacity. We charge customers a subscription fee based on the number of nodes per year that use the product."
Here are the five ways that Bosworth has managed DataStax's growth.
1. Teaming with the founders
Sometimes a startup's cofounders have a great product idea and good sales person but they lack the skills needed to grow the company. Chances are that the startup would be better off if it could keep the founders and bring in a new CEO who has what it takes to scale the venture.
That's what Bosworth did when he joined DataStax. As he said, "DataStax was founded in April 2012 and I arrived 13 months later. I had partnered with DataStax and after nine months they asked me to join as CEO. Matt Pfeii was the CEO and he loved working with customers while Jon Ellis was chief technology officer. Neither was interested in administrative and operational requirements so I came in to provide that. And I am happy to say that we are now partners in running the company."
2. Proving the product concept
Once a CEO takes charge of a startup, it will only grow if it can convince a customer to use the product. That customer will only benefit the startup if the product delivers what I call a quantum value leap — e.g., it works better than anything else on the market and its price is right. If that customer then refers the startup to others, then its growth trajectory can begin.
DataStax did this by shifting its focus to listening to customers. Bosworth explained, "We were able to get a critical mass of feedback. We listened to people externally whereas before our internal technical people had been shooting from the hip."
3. Finding the business model
Once a startup develops a product that a customer finds valuable, it starts to grow. And growing often means adding people with skills other than engineering and sales — such as marketing, human resources, and finance. For a startup to keep functioning effectively at this stage, everyone must understand what others are doing and how they fit.
For that, DataStax needed to learn how to operate a distributed company – hiring the best talent and letting those people live and work where they want. He explained, "I had to figure out how to run meetings so that the person in Akron had the same experience as the people in San Mateo. So when we had all-company meetings, I ran them out of my office with nobody else there and we did it on chat so there would be an electronic record of everything that was said."
4. Scaling the business
Once a startup gets a solid base of customers, growth can come from expanding geographically and/or adding new product lines. Saying 'yes' to the right expansion bets and 'no' to the wrong ones is vital.
Bosworth said 'no' to expansion opportunities that were not consistent with DataStax's core competencies and 'yes' to geographic expansion. DataStax has opened offices in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. And it plans to expand to Latin America and Asia.
Bosworth also believes it's critical to hire an executive team that can coach leaders who report to them. Using a sports analogy, Bosworth noted, "A star athlete who becomes a coach will either be very successful or go down in flames. It all depends on whether they can coach coaches, rather than players. To succeed, they need to know enough about the product to make common sense decisions — but the key thing is whether they can pick the right people for the right job."
5. Setting goals and creating culture
It is important once a startup has grown to a certain size that everyone understands why they are there. Each person must understand the direction that the startup is heading and how their work helps realize this vision. And they must understand what behavior the startup considers most valuable.
Bosworth has clear ideas about both. "We have our Big Hairy Audacious Goals — they are aggressive and take a lot of effort. And we have sub-goals which are about what I am doing today that will take me closer to that vision. And we have specific traits that DataStax values — distributed, visibility, innovative, customer-first, and respect. I want our culture to attract people who like those values and repel people who don't.

man o man. We've had a string of bad luck lately and I didn't want to say it out loud or type it in the blog but perhaps that's what I need to do to surrender and accept it and change the course of luck to be GOOD. We sure could use it in our little household.
Henry came home last week from the nanny with a red rash all over his body, a 103 degree temp and a lethargic disposition. After not being able to reach our pediatrician, we took him into the children's hospital ER in SF.
I had it in my mind that everything was just fine and I'd make my weekly yoga class at 7:30 because two hours is enough time to figure this out…right? Well no, actually. We checked in at 5 and left at 8:45pm.
To get his fever down, they gave him Motrin and checked his vitals. While we waiting for the fever to break, we watched half of finding nemo and the entire inside out movie. Our room at the hospital had a computer screen to watch tv, movies, play games, or anything else the little wanted to do to pass the time.
Once the fever broke, Henry was a hot speckled version of himself. While he still has the red bump rash from his head to his ankles, we were released with discharge instructions.
Because he's under the weather and we have to keep him hydrated, he slept with me last night so we could nurse – on – demand.

LONDON, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, fresh from a well-received Labor Party address, was stung by a newspaper's switch of allegiance, analysts say.
The luster from a rousing keynote address Tuesday to the Labor Party conference in Brighton, England, in which Brown vowed to fight corruption and improve healthcare, was partially dimmed by a decision by the British tabloid The Sun to switch its endorsement to the Conservative Party, The Times of London reported.
With the headline, "Labor's Lost It," The Sun, for the first time in 12 years, dropped its support of the struggling Labor Party, The Times said. Sun political editor George Pascoe-Watson said the tabloid had warned Labor in 2005 that it was on its "last chance."
"I think Sun readers actually, when they look at what I say, they will agree with what I said," Brown told British broadcaster GMTV. "Obviously, you want newspapers to be for you. We would have liked everybody to be on our side, but the people decide. I've got an old-fashioned opinion that you look to newspapers for news not opinions."
Brown told the BBC he is not yet willing to commit to U.S.-style candidate debates with Tory leader David Cameron.

Hailed on publication as "an impressive integration of postmodernism and relational psychoanalysis" (James Hansel) and "an intelligent and stimulating account of where the issues of identity, gender, and difference are joined" (Jessica Benjamin), Lynne Layton's Who's That Girl? Who's That Boy? is a major contribution to the postmodern understanding of gender issues.
This new edition, under the aegis of the Bending Psychoanalysis Book Series, includes a Foreword by Series Editor Jack Drescher and an Afterword in which Lynne Layton addresses the evolution of her thinking since the book's publication in 1998.
"[Layton] explores that layer of existence that filters the social through the psychological, bringing clinical work and feminist theory together. Her book is a significant interlocutor too, and serves as introduction for a number of important feminist dialogues and debates, such as the relation between the personal and the political and between social constructionist versus identity-derived perspectives. Layton's text brings these many, sometimes contesting, perspectives together in an incisive and grounded exposition."
- Kareen Ror Malone, Signs
"I don't think it is an exaggeration to call this a work of intellectual virtuosity. Where some, myself included, grow impatient with postmodern theories, while nonetheless being influenced by the same social currents out of which these theories have sprung, others bury themselves in theory, seemingly losing touch with lived experience. Layton brings patience and passion to unraveling the knotty intellectual currents of meaning that both unify and separate these two areas of thought. Rather than come down on one side or the other of what she considers a false polarity, she shows how one can inform the other."
- Sheila Bienenfeld, Women's Review of Books
Drescher, Foreword. Introduction. Beyond Narcissism: Toward a Negotiation Model of Gender Identity. Gender Benders/Gender Binders: A Psychoanalytic Look at Contemporary Popular Culture. Who's That Girl? Madonna. Trauma, Gender Identity, and Sexuality: Discourses of Fragmentation. Blue Velvet: A Parable of Male Development. What Is a Man? Postmodern Challenges to Clinical Practice.

Stephen King is on to something.
Sometimes just staring at the blank screen is daunting. But it doesn't have to be. Let your characters float around your head and talk to each other–and you–for a while. They'll help you figure out what you're going say before you sit to write. That's the good part. The best part is that they won't likely tell you everything and they'll take you on a journey as you write.
This method works for me as a feature writer, too. I go and do my interviews. I take notes and pictures. Then I drive home to write. During the drive, I mull over what I've learned. What I saw, heard, smelled, tasted, felt. I go into my mental fitting room and try on different leads. Some don't fit. Others do, but they look better on the hanger than they do in real life. So I ditch them.
Sometimes, before I even reach my computer, I end up with a terrific idea for a lead! And when inspiration doesn't hit me while I'm on the road, at least I've eliminated various ideas that won't work. I accept progress in whatever form it takes.
So, as I embark on my second novel, I'm letting my characters talk to me. They ping around my brain and when they hit the wall, they bounce off and another idea forms. Through this process, I'm getting to know them and they're getting to know me.
So the scary part of writing will be in the plot, not staring at the screen.
Write on!

Barcelona's players believe Manchester United have improved since the departure of
Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid in 2009
Ronaldo played his last game for the Red Devils in the Champions League final in Rome â which Barca won 2-0 â before sealing an £80million switch to the Bernabeu.
United ended up with only the Carling Cup in their first campaign after the Portugal forwardâs exit, but this season has seen Sir Alex Ferguson âs side reclaim the Premier League title and progress to Saturdayâs Champions League final.
âTheir team isnât as direct as before â they like to have the ball,â Barca midfielder Xavi said ahead of the showpiece at Wembley. âI donât know if thatâs because of Cristiano Ronaldo or not, but they move around as a unit now.â
Striker David Villa added: âCristiano Ronaldoâs departure has liberated them. Many great players come and go and that has allowed them to remain at the top for so long.â
And Dani Alves said: âThis Manchester United team is much more unpredictable without Cristiano Ronaldo.â

Creating engaging content involves writing compelling, accurate health information, yet we also need to understand the health literacy of our readers.
Consumers who have good health literacy can often bridge the gap between health information and how that promotes healthy living.
We may assume our readers mostly consist of adults who are seeking health information to make informed decisions in their lives.
However, more evidence is pointing to young adults, particularly those in high school, who are interested in understanding and learning more about health.
Young adults may not make all health decisions without help from adults. But, teens may already be making decisions about broader health issues, such as consuming sports drinks, supplements or skin creams.
High school students with chronic illness, such as asthma, may also access and interpret health information online.
How well do high school students understand and accurately interpret health information?
Although previous research has assessed adults' understanding of health claims, there hasn't been a lot of research looking at how high school students understand health information. It's clear this is an emerging area of focus, though.
A recent qualitative study, published in the journal Health Expectations, explored 27 Australian students' understanding of, and attitudes towards, health information and claims. The students in the study were aged 12 to 15 years old.
Three themes emerged that suggest high school students:
- lacked understanding of basic health research processes, and
- weren't able to accurately assess health claims or make informed decisions about their health.
Understanding how to address these themes can help us to:
- better educate high-school aged young adults
- develop high school students' health literacy skills, and
- help the next generation grow into adults who can make informed health decisions.
Theme 1: Variability in understanding accuracy of content and sources of health information
There was variability in access to sources of health information, with high school students reading health claims from medical centres, government authorities, parents, online searches or prior exposure to packaging from products.
However, when the researchers asked the students their understanding of the accuracy of the content they sourced, only a few students could elaborate on concepts of "evidence", "research, "scientists", "experiments " or "testing".
Interestingly, nearly all the students believed most health claims were based on vested interests that are behind health information.
The study demonstrated high school students make decisions based on personal judgements and influences, such as the presentation or the information source, instead of the quality of evidence.
Key take-home: We can use our writing to effectively communicate what makes evidence reliable and the value of high-quality sources of evidence.
Theme 2: Lack of understanding how to assess health information for trustworthiness
None of the students in the study mentioned understanding formal or validating methods of assessing health information or claims.
Instead, the students evaluated the sources based on personal experience and familiarity, corroboration, top results from online Google searches, the reliability of the source, and quality of the product packing or presentation.
High school students' lack of understanding of the research process meant they instead relied on an endorsement from health professionals for credibility.
"[I'd believe it] if a doctor has said it… or someone qualified enough to prove it."
For high school students to accurately assess the effectiveness of health interventions, they need to understand concepts, such as randomisation and blinding, placebo effect and relative risk compared to absolute risk.
Key take-home message: Our writing should strive to describe how researchers conduct their research, explaining concepts simply with enough detail to demonstrate their meaning in real life.
Theme 3: Uncertainty about language used to make health claims
Although high school students associated medical terminology with research performed, most students didn't understand the meaning of the terms "evidence-based", "clinically proven" and "scientifically tested".
Only half of the students in the study responded "newer" interventions meant research had improved existing health interventions.
Some students even perceived new interventions negatively, "…some new treatments work as well, but not just as reliable as the old ones that have been used for a long time."
Scepticism about the credibility of health information and claims is likely to be based on a lack of understanding of relevant health terms, such as "evidence" and "studies".
Key take-home: We must continue to define basic medical terminology while avoiding using jargon in our writing (see 'Wising up – writing clearly without 'dumbing down').

#imbringingbirthdaysback - have you seen the hashtag recently?
It often seems that social media isn't always, well, social. We see someone's name and get invited to wish them 'Happy Birthday' but then, that's it.
Stampin' Up! decided to bring birthdays back.
There's nothing quite like good old snail mail and getting a card in the post - even better if it's handmade too!
People seem delighted to look forward to receiving a card!
It is more exciting than the usual abundance of junk mail and outstanding bills to pay.
I'd love for you to join me!

Hi -
Funny thing. It's been spring for about 2 weeks now, and it's snowing
today. Such is life here in the Hudson Valley. But it's been a good winter, and there are
plenty of signs of spring. No scheduled interviews/performances at the
moment, though I hope to have some announcements soon. I've been noticing
lately that I've been getting lots more acoustic music and less
ambient/electronic. I'm not complaining, but I'm wondering why. Is there
less ambient/electronic music out there, or am I just not seeing it? If
that's the case, then I'd like to catch up. Hopefully I'll hear from a
couple of you with new things to play that I don't know about yet.
Most of you know me at this point. but there's a few that might not. My
name is Scott Raymond, and for those of you who don't know me, I'm a New
Age/Ambient/Electronic music DJ with WVKR-FM. WVKR is a 3700 watt
non-commercial station broadcasting from Vassar College to the greater
Hudson Valley region. My show, "Secret Music", has been on for over 28
years and has a large and devoted audience. The show airs every Sunday
from 9AM to 12 noon EST. For more information or to listen in online,
check out our website at www.wvkr.org.
I'm always looking for new and interesting music to play. If you have
something you think I'd be interested in, feel free to send it to the address below. I'm perfectly
fine with downloads instead of CD's, especially for all you overseas
people who pay large sums of money to mail things here to the states.
Don't get me wrong. I love CD's and love to see nice packaging. But I know
what it costs to mail such things, too. It's up to you. I usually prefer
high quality MP3's, though I can accept other formats if necessary. Just
send me an email for more info. At least half of what I play these days
comes to me through downloads. Thanks.

Disney•Pixar proudly announces the Blu-ray™ hi-def debut of "Brave," the year's #1 animated movie and Pixar Animation Studio's 13th consecutive hit, on November 13, 2012. A breathtaking adventure that has entertained audiences of all ages, the stunning Blu-ray release of "Brave" includes hours of all-new bonus material, extraordinary behind the scenes features, extended and deleted scenes, a mysterious and exciting, new short film, 'The Legend of Mor'du," and much more.
An original and thrilling journey set in the ancient and magical Highlands of Scotland, "Brave" follows the heroic journey of the headstrong, young adventurer Merida. Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida confronts tradition and defies an age-old custom that inadvertently unleashes chaos, and forces her to discover the true meaning of bravery. The 5-Disc Ultimate Collector's Edition (1 Blu-ray 3D + 2 Blu-ray Discs + 1 DVD + 1 Digital Copy) has something for everyone – from the home entertainment enthusiast who demands the highest quality, state-of-the-art technology offerings, to the family who enjoys the interactive and engaging bonus features that only Blu-ray can provide – making this unique and beautiful film a "must add" to any home media collection.
What I Think-
Brave explores the age old struggle between daughters and their mothers. Daughters usually think their mother's are too strict and just don't understand and that is exactly how Merida feels about her mother in Brave. The queen wants her daughter to act properly, not use weapons, and follow the proper rules. But Merida has other ideas. She is a smart, tough, and headstrong young woman who wants to be independent. She loves that her father taught her how to use a bow and arrow. As a woman who was once a feisty, independent young woman I could totally relate to Merida's struggles wanting to be her own person and make her own choices. But as a mother of 2 daughters I can also see her mother's point of view wanting to see her daughter make the right choices. Merida wishes that her mom would "change". What daughter hasn't wished her mother would "change" every now and then. But in Merida's case the spell she got from the witch changes her mother in a most unexpected way. My favorite scene is when her mother is first learning how to be a bear and catch fish. I love how in the end Merida learns to appreciate her mother and at the same time her mother learns to appreciate the young woman Merida has become. They learn to see things from the other's point of view which is a wonderful thing. Watching Brave with my daughters reminded me to give them a little more room to make more of their own choices but I also think it helped them realize that I just want what's best for them. Brave is a wonderful family movie for any family, but I especially recommend it for mothers and daughters to watch together.
The exciting home entertainment debut of "Brave" will be available in multiple ways, containing exciting all-new bonus features that extend the breathtaking movie experience.

16 Lesbian & Queer Female-Fronted Bands You Should Know
| (L-R) Romy of The xx, Josette Maskin, Katie Gavin & Naomi McPherson of MUNA and Lynn Gunn of PVRIS
"Lesbian bands" are often synonymous with famously queer duos like Indigo Girls and Tegan and Sara, but they are part of a long lineage of out women unafraid of singing about their lovers, who just so happen to be other women. Whether it was from the folky front womyn of the singer/songwriter heavy '60s, the first all-lesbian rock band Fanny in the '70s, the punk rebellion of The Runaways or The B-52s fusing new wave and pop in the '80s, lesbian bands (or groups that include an openly queer, bisexual, or sexually fluid female member) have been a staple of the industry, influencing pop culture all the while.
Now, in the post-t.A.T.u. years, there are several noteworthy lesbian bands giving voice to queer themes and stories through song. Although their sexuality isn't necessarily what they want to be known for, it's worth recognizing their queering of their respective genres, and providing the community songs they can relate to, without having to switch up pronouns or instilling a sense of irony like with Katy Perry or Demi Lovato's sapphic singles.
Here are 16 lesbian and queer-fronted bands you should keep in rotation.
PVRIS' out vocalist Lynn Gunn leads this modern post-electro-pop trio in rousing live shows and riveting recordings alike. Their first album, 2014's White Noise, was certified silver, care of singles like "St. Patrick" and the passionate plea of "You And I," which is one of the top tracks on a popular romantic Spotify playlist of the same name. Their sophomore release, All We Know of Heaven, All We Need of Hell, just dropped last month and provides more insatiable, esoteric songs like the slow burning "Heaven."

Upcoming Events
Our STRATEGY:
We will partner with families in the discipleship of their children by providing environments, curriculum and resources that center on the gospel and teach the nature and character of God.
(Birth to pre-Kindergarten)
By the time your child is five years old, we want them to know: God Made Me, God Loves Me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
We strive to move kids to LOVE GOD by inciting WONDER; LOVE LIFE by provoking DISCOVERY; and LOVE OTHERS by fueling PASSION.
Each activity your child will participate in on a Sunday morning speak to one of Four Faith Skills: Hear from God (we can listen to God's Word to hear what He wants us to know); Pray to God (we can talk to God and tell Him how we feel); Talk about God (we can talk about God and what we read in the Bible); and Live for God (we can learn how God's Word affects our lives).
(kindergarten to 5th grade)
By the time your child finishes 5th grade, we want them to know: I need to make the wise choice, I can trust God no matter what, and I should treat others the way I want to be treated.
We strive to move kids to LOVE GOD by inciting WONDER; LOVE LIFE by provoking DISCOVERY; and LOVE OTHERS by fueling PASSION.
Growing in faith takes time and effort. We have highlighted four faith skills to help kids grow in their relationship with God, and reflect how kids and families talk about faith: Hear (listen to God's Words - when we read the Bible, and listen to what God has to tell us through His Word, we learn we can trust God no matter what); Pray (dialogue with God - through prayer we connect with God. We show gratitude, say we're sorry, and express our feelings to God); Talk (articulate your faith - when we talk about our faith, we learn more about God and can tell others about Jesus); and Live (worship with your life - worshipping God is more than just singing songs. Worship is about living life in a way that honors God).
Checking in your child:
We strongly encourage you to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your desired service time. You will sign them in at the Kid's Check-In booth in the lobby. You will then walk your kid(s) to their classroom and drop them off with one of our trained Children's Ministry Leaders. If you're visiting for the first time, one of our check-in team members will assist you. They will walk you back to your kid(s) classroom.
For more information email Matt Oberdick
Special Needs:
If you have a child with special needs, we would love to partner with you in ministering to your child. Please email Matt Oberdick about our Buddy system for your child.
