Are you in search of silky, sleek, ready-for-the-runway hair without an exhaustive daily routine? Keratin treatments may be just the solution you're looking for in order to tame your hair. Whether you call them Brazilian keratin treatments or by one of the many brand names on the market today, a keratin treatment is ideal for the fashion-forward of any ethnicity. Keratin treatments for African American hair can have especially dramatic results.
With the professional application of a treatment, hair becomes straighter, more resistant to tangles and the overall condition of your hair may even improve. Unfortunately, there's also quite a bit of misinformation and myth surrounding the keratin treatment for African American hair.
What are the Benefits for African American Hair?
If your hair is difficult to comb or has been subjected to harsh treatment in order to achieve straight, glossy tresses, a treatment can help to make a very real difference in the appearance and condition of your hair. The primary benefit for African-American hair, aside from shine and straightness, is the lack of harsh chemicals like calcium hydroxide and ammonia. Treatments can also be applied to hair which has been previously processed with color, bleach or highlights is a good candidate for keratin, which is not always the case with chemical relaxers.
What Else Should I Know?
Keratin treatments can have a significant affect on the straightness and appearance of your hair, but they do require a bit of upkeep in order to look their best. For the day of treatments and a few days afterwards, it's not advised to get your hair wet, sweat heavily or apply other products to your hair. It's also not advised to put your hair up, either with elastics or pins. Unlike chemical relaxers, keratin treatments will also gradually wash out over time. To reduce wash-out and extend the life of your treatment, customers are advised to use sulfate-free shampoos, conditioners and products.
African American Healthy Hair Care: The Basics
Dominican hair products and hair stylists are quickly earning an outstanding reputation throughout the United States. I am sure that many wonder if this is just a new fad or if the products and stylists actually deserve their reputation. To determine their credibility lets analyze their hair treatment process.
What hair products do they use?
Dominican stylists like others use the popular name brand products such as, Sebastian, Biolage, Paul Mitchell, Nexus etc. However, they also use the traditional Dominican hair products made out of natural fruits, vegetables, or animal protein.
What is their styling process?
After washing the hair they apply the hair conditioner. Then cover hair with a plastic cap and let you sit under the bonnet dryer for ten to twenty minutes. Later they will rinse it out and do hair rollers. After that you will probably be sitting on the drier anywhere from half an hour to one hour. This depends mostly on your hair type and length. Afterwards, they will move in to styling your hair. If you just want your hair straight this is the time when they will straighten the curls or waves left by rollers with a blow dryer. They rarely like to just blow dry hair without doing the rollers first.
Another Reason why their products and styling process fit everyone is because their main focus is the maintenance and treatment of hair. By deep conditioning it, they diminish the amount of harm that we do to our hair with harsh chemicals such as hair color, relaxers, perms, highlights, etc.. They also control the amount of direct heat to individual strands by limiting or avoiding the use of blow dryers and hot irons.

O'Dell has been a long time friend and
collaborator of the Hubble Heritage Project. An
avid Hubble observer, Bob's main astronomical interest
is nebulae, one of the more photogenic treasures
in deep space. Bob has been a science advocate for
our team on many Heritage observations and the Hubble
archive is studed his science work.
Heritage/O'Dell Image Releases
first remembered interest in astronomy was when
my sixth grade teacher asked us all to write a one
page paper on "What I want to be doing in 25 years"
and I wrote that I wanted to be an astronomer observing
with the 200-inch telescope at Palomar
Observatory. How did I come up with this? It
must have been "My Weekly Reader" a newspaper for
kids, which was giving a lot of attention to the
Palomar giant since it was just getting into operation
then. I pushed my folks to buy me a set of optics
for a small telescope when in the seventh grade
and used these to build my first telescope and the
Orion Nebula was one of the first objects I looked
My interest in astronomy was sustained by reading
the monthly Sky
& Telescope Magazine from cover to
cover and building several additional telescopes,
starting from scratch (actually blank pieces of
glass and lots of grinding compound). Being a professional
anything didn't seem realistic for a kid from a
family where the parents had a total of 14 years
of gradeschool education, but they encouraged me
to go to a state teachers college and to take it
from there. At Illinois
State (then Illinois State Normal University)
I studied physics and chemistry. Fortunately, Sputnik
was launched in the autumn of my Junior year and
the USA discovered that it had been neglecting the
space related sciences. This was a chance not to
be missed and I was lucky enough to be admitted
into the newly revamped astronomy department of
the University of
Wisconsin. I emerged from there with a fresh
Ph.D. three years later, headed to CalTech
as a post-doc, then went on to Berkeley
as an assistant professor. I bounced to the Yerkes
Observatory of the University of Chicago two
years later and rose up through the professorial
ranks, being chair of the department and then director
of Yerkes for five years.
I left Yerkes for Huntsville, Alabama in 1972 to
become NASA's Project Scientist for (what is now
called) the Hubble Space Telescope. This was before
the HST was an approved program, so that the early
years were spent in selling the idea to Congress,
to the astronomical community (many of whom were
skeptical), and coming up with a preliminary design.
After 1977 we were in the construction phase of
HST and I left NASA in 1982 to return to research,
becoming a professor at Rice
University in Houston. I have recently joined
the Physics and Astronomy staff at Vanderbilt
University as a Distinguished Research Scientist.
childhood look at Orion must have really influenced
me because I've worked on the Orion Nebula region
on and off for the bulk of my professional life
(now 40+ years), although I've been working on Planetary
Nebulae for almost as long. It is still a case that
many mornings I can't wait to get in to the office
to find out what lies around the next corner."

While director Timbur Bekmambetov's next film, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, pits our nation's 16th president as an axe-wielding superhero with distaste for the undead, he's set to go a tad more traditional with his next period pic. Deadline reports that Bekmambetov 's Bazelevs production company has acquired The Current War for Bekmambetov to direct. The film, written by Michael Mitnick, "chronicles the true-life public battle fought between Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse for domination of the early power industry." The script ranked fairly high on the 2011 Black List, which ranks the "most liked" unproduced screenplays circulating Hollywood.
Given the over-the-top nature of Wanted and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, I can only assume that Bekmambetov's version of the "War of Currents" will envision Edison and Westinghouse as wizards wielding unworldly power of a dark and gritty nature. I'm not the biggest fan of Bekmambetov's style, but there seems to be plenty that are. It'll be interesting to see if he does The Current War with an action bent or if he'll try a more understated, dramatic approach.

I do live in the South
Believe it or not, I am pretty sure I had never tried biscuits and gravy for breakfast until this past year. We rarely go out for breakfast and when we do it is almost a sure bet I am going to get pancakes despite growing up in the south. Zack, Noble and I went to brunch with my family not too long ago at a local place called Joy Cafe and Zack ordered biscuits and gravy.....OMG it was incredible! They were amazing! It definitely had something to do with the restaurant we were at because I have now ordered it for myself at a few places and none quite compare to the original. I decided we were going to have it for dinner one night and I made my version. Still not quite as good as Joy Cafe, but very tasty.
Homemade Biscuits
recipe from Allrecipes.com
makes 12 biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baling powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 dash salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup buttermilk
Preaheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in the buttermilk. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 2 minutes. Roll to approximately 1 inch thick and use a biscuit cutter to cut rounds.
Bake 15 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean

As you read in the guide for EntityManagerFactory, to control the persistence of your objects you will require at least one EntityManagerFactory . Once you have obtained this object you then use this to obtain an EntityManager . An EntityManager provides access to the operations for persistence of your objects. This short guide will demonstrate some of the more common operations.
You obtain an EntityManager as follows
EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
In general you will be performing all operations on a EntityManager within a transaction, whether your transactions are controlled by your J2EE container, by a framework such as Spring, or by locally defined transactions. In the examples below we will omit the transaction demarcation for clarity.
An EntityManagerFactory is designed to be thread-safe. An EntityManager is not
The main thing that you will want to do with the data layer of a JPA-enabled application is persist your objects into the datastore. As we mentioned earlier, a EntityManagerFactory represents the datastore where the objects will be persisted. So you create a normal Java object in your application, and you then persist this as follows
This will result in the object being persisted into the datastore, though clearly it will not be persistent until you commit the transaction. The LifecycleState of the object changes from Transient to PersistentClean (after persist()), to Hollow (at commit).
Once you have persisted an object, it has an "identity". This is a unique way of identifying it. When you specify the persistence for the class you specified an id class so you can create the identity from that. So what ? Well the identity can be used to retrieve the object again at some other part in your application. So you pass the identity into your application, and the user clicks on some button on a web page and that button corresponds to a particular object identity. You can then go back to your data layer and retrieve the object as follows
Object obj = em.find(cls, id);
where cls is the class of the object you want to find, and id is the identity.
When you need to delete an object that you had previous persisted, deleting it is simple. Firstly you need to get the object itself, and then delete it as follows
Object obj = em.find(cls, id); // Retrieves the object to delete em.remove(obj);
To modify a previously persisted object you take the object and update it in your code. When you are ready to persist the changes you do the following
Object updatedObj = em.merge(obj)
When you think that the datastore has more up-to-date values than the current values in a retrieved persisted object you can refresh the values in the object by doing the following
This will do the following
If the object had any changes they will be thrown away by this step, and replaced by the latest datastore values.
JPA doesn't provide a method for getting the EntityManager of an object as such. Fortunately DataNucleus provides the following
EntityManager em = NucleusJPAHelper.getEntityManager(obj);

Uncle Frank's World Class Gourmet Coffee
I own a car dealership that has a gourmet coffee bar inside of the customer lounge. We serve our own private label coffee and want to internally brand the coffee/coffee bar. We already have a mascot created which in itself is a partial logo. It just needs to be completed.
Anyone that visits the car dealership and enjoys our free gourmet coffee bar!
I am supplying the mascot but need it finished. The finished project will be used on posters/banners/buttons within the dealership and inside of the customer lounge (possibly on the labels for our coffee as well). Even though this is a "gourmet coffee", the mascot and the dealership are all branded as follows: fun, quirky and the Disney-World of car sales. The attached mascot MUST be used along with the title:
Uncle Frank's World Class Gourmet Coffee
It would be great to also get a couple of variations. One for the label on the bag itself (which should just be the mascot and the brand name) and one for the poster/banner/signange in the lounge (also the mascot, brand name but with the addition of FREE Coffee Bar - Help Yourself! or a variation of that. Be creative and have fun. Good luck.

The whole system works by sampling coarse level environment data points surrounding the camera, using a 5x5 cornerless grid. Sound emitters are then set up at the places of the points, and each emitter is assigned a sound buffer corresponding to the type of environment.
To hide the grid layout, the emitters are set up to start attenuating the sound only from a distance that is larger than half the grid step. This works almost alright, except that the unattenuated zone also spans upwards, which doesn't feel natural. Later we'll have to implement a custom attenuation function that will handle it.
At the moment there are just 4 environment types - grass, open sea, shoreline and forest. Each emitter of given type can use only one of two sound samples (for now), that are pseudorandomly picked for given location. Locations are identified using a global unique identifier; this identifier is also used to manage the reuse of sound emitters.
Apart from these ground sources there is also another layer of emitters that are used to provide sounds of wind and rustling of tree leaves. They are positioned higher above the ground.
Following video shows it in action. The sound of wind in the last part of the video (in forest) is too loud, especially when the leaves and branches aren't moving yet.
In other news, we have started a closed beta testing of our alpha demo (yea, beta of alpha
It goes pretty well, meaning we are getting lots of crash and bug reports and unexpected behavior reports on various combinations of hardware, OS versions and internet settings.
It's keeping us quite busy at the moment.
There's also a new truck model with digital camouflage texture, that we want to use for our demo game:
The camouflage is a modern type that is apparently not so well-known, and from the initial reactions it seems that Minecraft has spoiled it for people who didn't know about it before :-)

Meatballs are so deceptively simple to make: some ground beef, a little egg, and bread crumbs to hold it all together, right? Really good ones also include spices are are left to simmer for hours. Shortcuts are never the answer. In fact, it's best to leave the cooking, along with the Sunday gravy, to Grandma. But if she is too busy playing canasta and golf to cook, here are ten places to get one spicy meatball.
10. The Meatball Joint
Bernie Matz opened the Meatball Joint
only a few weeks ago and it gets our vote for the vast selection of
meatballs it offers. You can get lamb, turkey, or even a vegetarian
option, but we opt for the classic, made with a beef and pork blend ($8
for four), served with a fire-roasted tomato marinara. In other words,
there's a ball for every mouth.
9. Prime Italian
How much
would you pay for a meatball roughly the size of an infant that comes
from some of the finest beef available? Did someone say $30? That's
the price of Prime Italian's
Kobe meatball. It's brick-oven baked, covered with creamy bufala
ricotta and soaked in a rich tomato marinara. Served with garlic bread,
it's an expensive overindulgence. But oh, so good.
8. Barceloneta Spanish Bistro & Mercat
This meatball is something of a curveball (pardon our pun). The albondigas con sepia ($13) at Barceloneta
aren't your everyday meatball "on top of spaghetti, all covered with
cheese." These squid ink meatballs, served with baby cuttlefish and
sofrito, could be the most intriguing meatballs you'll ever eat.
7. Sugarcane Raw Bar Grill
The pork meatballs at Sugarcane
($12) are a comfort food departure from chef Timon Balloo's usual innovative bites.
The mildly spiced tender balls are served in a crock, accompanied by a
sauce flavored with pine nuts and raisins. It's a happy circumstance that a generous piece of country bread is
served with the dish, perfect for dipping.
6. Randazzo's Little Italy
If you want beautiful food served on fine bone china with a little
swirl of pomegranate compote this is not your place. If, however, you're jonesing for the kind of food Tony Soprano or Frank Sinatra would sit
down to eat, now you're talking. This rich Italian-American food is meant to be eaten with a lot of Chianti in unmarked bottles. The
spaghetti with Sunday gravy ($14) is topped with meatballs made the old
fashioned way -- a little pork, a little veal, a little beef, a little
cheese, a little bread, and a lot of love. It's a staple in every
Italian household and it's done right at Randazzo's.
5. Mangia Mia
food truck specializes in balls. Meat balls, fowl balls, and veggie
balls. The only Miami food truck that serves all-Italian cuisine, Mangia Mia
is celebrating its first anniversary this coming July. We love the
smasher, a pair of balls smooshed between two pieces of garlic bread
($7), but if you're not into carbs, go commando with balls sans bread
for the same price.
4. Sardinia Enoteca
Sardinia's atmosphere
calls for a group of friends enjoying some good wine while dining on
boards of cheese, mounds of pasta, and some good meatballs. The
polpettine ($14) is a tender veal meatball with braised fennel. Like
the rest of the plates at Sardinia, the meatball is light and tender,
leaving you room for several more dishes -- and lots more wine.
3. Tudor House
Tudor House's meatball is so good, we know a friend who orders only them as if they were an
entree. Truth be told, the tender meatball, served in a crock with
grilled rustic bread, could serve as a wonderful lunch. The only problem is that
whenever the meatball arrives, the entire table digs in as if everyone were entitled -- to your meal! Order as a side ($12) or as an entree with spaghetti
($21). Either way, tell your friends to back off and get their own.
2. Harry's Pizzeria
might be the little sibling of Michael's Genuine Food & Drink, but
the flavors of this pizza cafe hold their own Harry's meatball
($6), ordered as an appetizer, comes with enough bread for two people to
dip into. A perfectly delicious few bites of meat filled with subtle
spices and cheese are served in a wonderful red sauce. Don't even try to save
your carb allowance for the pizza you've ordered. Just enjoy your meal
and remember that tomorrow's another day.
1. Macaluso's
It probably comes as no surprise that the meatball at Macaluso's
comes in at number one on our list. Chef-owner Michael D'Andrea serves
his beef balls "Staten Island style," in a traditional red sauce that

Once again the Houston Dash went down a goal early, but once again they were able to pull one back as they tied the Washington Spirit 1-1 on Thursday night at BBVA Compass Stadium.
The action started early on both ends, with the Dash holding possession well but Washington countering with speed when the ball turned over.
Lisa De Vanna played Jodie Taylor behind the Dash defense and Erin McLeod rushed off her line to contest the English striker after just 10 minutes. Taylor was able to round the Dash goalkeeper, but her touch took her to the endline and allowed Marissa Diggs to retreat to the goal line. The rookie defender stepped to Taylor as she searched for an angle and was perfectly positioned to block the shot.
Minutes after having a breakaway goal called back for offside, Washington found the opening goal. Taylor beat Diggs at midfield in the 19th minute then found De Vanna streaking down the field with Stephanie Ochs in pursuit. De Vanna shimmied her way around Ochs then placed a precise chip over the sliding McLeod.
McLeod and Ashlyn Harris traded one-on-one stops in the first half. McLeod took the ball off of De Vanna's feet on a breakaway attempt after some confusion in the back in the 30th minute, then Harris touched a Nina Burger shot off the outside of the post four minutes later.
De Vanna, a constant threat in the first half on the counterattack, was forced off at halftime with an apparent leg injury and Washington found less success testing the Houston back line, getting just two shots and neither of them on frame. The Dash put continual pressure on the attacking end of things while pushing for a goal, resulting in 8 corner kicks to the Spirit's one.
It was off an Ochs corner 74 minutes in that Houston got the equalizing score. The cross made it past the outstretched arms of Harris and bounced off of Kaylyn Kyle to Diggs at the back post, who tapped home her first professional goal.
Both teams then searched for a possible winning goal with fresh legs off the bench, but nothing came as the teams split the points.
The Dash have the weekend off before traveling to Chicago to face the Red Stars on July 26, while Washington turns around for meeting against Sky Blue FC on Sunday in New Jersey.

text: Ten explorers. Four boats. One Grand Canyon. Race down the rapids in this wildly, wonderful gender-bending escapade. Based (broadly) on the true adventures of the one-armed pioneering explorer John Wesley Powell and his intrepid crew, this gleefully subversive play capsizes the white male conquest narrative and discovers the beautifully fluid depth and courage of a wholly different landscape.

Tea is cool lush green in a smooth pale bowl.And indeed, there was quite a lot of this sort of thing, and, initially, a fair amount of lengthy and suddenly poetic speech-making from uneducated labourers/surly deck hands, as well as learned and unmotivated discourses on early medicine.
I had serious concerns, but I soldiered on, as the setting was interesting. Jacob de Zoet is among the very few Dutch who have managed to gain a toe-hold in Japan as traders, while the country is still resolutely insular, not allowing its citizens to leave the country, or foreigners to go further than a tiny section of the port. On page 100, I was still worried I was in for an elaborate metaphor on the birth of modern science; when all of a sudden, the novel took a bizarre and spectacular left turn. Skip the next paragraph if you plan to read the book.
Jacob falls in love with a heavily scarred Japanese woman, who is then abducted and forced into a CULT FOR BREEDING BABIES which are later MURDERED TO GIVE THIS CRAZY ABBOT ETERNAL LIFE. Safe to say, we have left the realm of the well-behaved literary novel. There is even a failed rescue attempt, with sword fighting, and face-to-face encounters with the deranged Abbot; and then, if this was not enough, we suddenly switch to a being on board an English ship preparing for battle. Apparently, Holland has fallen to the British, so the Dutch on Nagasaki are essentially stranded. There is a big sea battle, and Jacob more or less saves Nagasaki, single-handed, don't ask me how, because I didn't really follow. The book ends the traditional way, with a ritual disembowelling and a triple-cross poison plot.
So in short: literary potboiler. I loved it. There was lots of beautiful writing – try this:
An enterprising fly buzzes over his urine in the chamber potI can't think when I've heard sewage more elegantly described.
There was also a staggering amount of research, and historical detail, woven neatly and elegantly into the deranged plot. I learnt, for example, that to get a gouty toe to heal, doctors of the time thought it a good idea to put mouse droppings in the open wound, to produce more pus. Thank god for the birth of modern science.

Nearly 50 vehicles will debut later this month when the Los Angeles Auto Show opens at the LA Convention Center.
That number includes 24 world debuts and 25 vehicles that will be unveiled for the first time in North America. Some of the debuts are concept vehicles, others are ready for the road.
A look at some of the confirmed debuts:
Acura: The RLX is a tech-laden sedan from Honda's luxury division. The automaker says it "behaves not as a machine, but as an extension of your instincts."
Audi: Several North American debuts, all under what is usually one of the most appealing displays on the convention floor.
BMW: The i8 Spyder Plug-In Hybrid is a concept car with design elements similar to the model featured in "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol." BMW also is set to make an "undisclosed world debut" and take the wraps off its X1 Limited Edition.
Chevrolet Spark EV: The all-electric version of Chevy's Spark runabout, which looks like something you could pick up and hug after parking near your friend's loft apartment in a congested urban area.
Fiat: Add E and L to the end of 500 and you get the tiny Fiat in an all-electric version (500e) and another with five doors (500L).
Ford: Updates for the compact Fiesta and extremely useful Transit Connect.
Jaguar: The automaker that blessed the automotive world decades and a few parent companies ago with the incomparable E-Type adds the highly anticipated F-Type roadster to its lineup.
Mercedes-Benz: The GL 63 AMG high-performance SUV, SLS AMG GT and SLS AMG Black Series -- the striking SLS on a high-carbon fiber diet -- all make debuts.
MINI: The Paceman, which borrows styling from the MINI coupe, offers more room and versatility. The Clubvan is MINI's take on the delivery van.
Nissan: Concept cars often point toward designs to come. The Hi-Cross provides an idea of where Nissan is headed in the crossover market.
Porsche: The 2013 911 Carrera will make its North American debut. A second Porsche, described as a "compact sports car," will make its world debut.
Editor's Note: Bentley, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Land Rover, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Subaru, and VW also will present debut vehicles at the LA Auto Show, scheduled for Nov. 30 through Dec. 9 at the LA Convention Center.

Are maps "drawings to represent everything truly", or are they mere figments of imagination—a larger, fictitious reality we accept as place—a " conspiracy of cartographers"? What can a map, or series of maps sorted in time, show us? What, beyond the locations of landforms, places and peoples, do maps tell us about the past? Maps, be they inaccurate musings or mathematical / astrological renderings, answer many questions. They explain our past and how people viewed their world, or new worlds; what people saw their world becoming and even what unknown lands may potentially possess. In a sense, maps are more about humans than of places. By studying these past maps we find—hidden within colorful cartouches, precise boundaries and skillful gradations by an artists' hand—the assumptions placed on the land as observed by their authors. These attempts document the hopes behind the lands first explored, fervently irrigated and farmed, scarred in battle, mined, evangelized…coveted.
A bird's eye of the 1909 Alaskan-Yukon-Pacific-Exposition
Since the discovery of the Pacific Northwest Coast and the sea explorations by both Spain and Great Britain, the region has been sought for countless, sometimes elusive, dreams: Spain's lust for lost cities of gold, Britain's hunger for new fur trade markets and hunting grounds, America's love affair with the Jeffersonian ideal of the quintessential, gentleman farmer. All of these countries, including France, shared the apocryphal delusion that somewhere, perhaps within the mighty waters of the Columbia River system, lay the route of the fabled Northwest Passage—sea route from the Atlantic Ocean to East Asia for trade desired since the days before Columbus.
However, no matter what the catalyst, the goal remained ever the same—the ownership of the Pacific Northwest. Early Washington Maps: A Digital Collection, a collaboration between Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections and the University of Washington Libraries, contains the vision which numerous such authors held for the Pacific Northwest. Spanning three hundred years, Early Washington Maps: A Digital Collection includes maps of both sea and land faring explorers—from David Thompson, the successful navigator of the Columbia River, to the exploits of William Clark and Merriwether Lewis. It documents the struggle between Britain and America for the ownership of the region, and the further development of one of the last frontiers on the continent. Some of the digital collection's maps delineate the boundaries under dispute within the years 1818 and 1846, culminating in a peaceful compromise and the decision of the 49th parallel as the northern border of the United States. The digital collection also shows the efforts of the U.S. government to survey the land, for both federal and private use, under the watchful, trained eye of the General Land Office and the Corps of Topographical Engineers.
Finally, this database showcases the hopes placed on the land of not only the country, but of individual citizens as well, with maps platting out new towns, railroad tracks, postal roads, and Indian Reservations. This digital collection, therefore, not only documents the physical boundaries of the Pacific Northwest, but also the people themselves—and their tenacious efforts to control it, tame it, and claim it for their own. For this reason maps and the mapmakers behind these renderings—publishers like Samuel Augustus Mitchell and Alvin J. Johnson, or publishing houses such as Rand McNally—carried the dreams to a greater audience, enticed them to join in the vision, and, most importantly, showed them the way.

In partnership with the University of Washington Libraries Map Collection, Kathryn Womble and Jennifer Stone Muilenburg supervised UW's contribution to the collection, while Trevor Bond oversaw Washington State University's portion of the project. Al Cornish provided extensive technical support for the project. At the University of Washington Libraries, Joshua D. Walker added metadata, edited the database, and scrutinized UW's digital images. Michael Walpole scanned and photographed the initial maps from Washington State University and added them to the CONTENT database. Mari Hillestad researched the initial maps and wrote the introduction. Mark O'English selected and scanned maps, researched maps and constructed metadata, edited the database, and refined the timeline. Al Cornish provided technical support for CONTENT and aided Joseph Groh and Trevor Bond, and Kathryn Womble, in the site's design. In 2014, additional maps were scanned and described by Evelyn Moos and Kerry Clark.

'We Care' launches education programme at Cornwall Regional
Paediatric ward patients to benefit
BY MARK CUMMINGS Editor-at-Large, Western Bureau email@example.com
MONTEGO BAY, St James — Patients at the Paediatric ward at the Cornwall Regional Hospital in Montego Bay are now benefitting from an education programme conducted in comfortable surroundings, thanks to the 'We Care Foundation.'
Through the instrumentality of the foundation which was launched in November 2011 to raise funds to undertake a raft of projects at the medical facility, educator Rackeal Ustanny — the hospital child education coordinator — has been assigned to run the programme.
"As the Hospital Child Education Coordinator, operating under the auspice of the 'We Care Foundation', one of my responsibilities includes administering age-appropriate educational activities to children admitted to the ward,"said Ustanny, a graduate of the Sam Sharpe Teachers' College in St James.
"As a result of my interaction with patients, a reading programme has been developed to help youths improve their reading skills."
She told the Observer West that under the initiative, the young patients — aged from birth to 12 years — are exposed to a collection of educational DVD's and instructional aides.
" These phonics DVD's contain blends, diaphragms, letter sounds.... in order to assist with reading," she explained.
But apart from the reading programme the educator has also made material available for patients who are studying the Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT) syllabus.
" During this programme GSAT level students are exposed a to a collection of DVD's and practice papers," she said, adding that "I have also created a curriculum -related instruction programme."
Ustanny who is committed to ensuring that children who are hospitalised for extended periods can carry on with their education, said through the collaborative efforts with the patients' parents and teachers, she is able to obtain and to continue the curriculum while they are hospitalised.
The experienced educator, whose monthly salary is paid by MegaMart, said a number of her classes are held in the Recreation Room located on the Paediatric ward.
The room was recently renovated by 'We Care' and outfitted with furniture and equipment at a cost of roughly $850,000.
The lobby area of the ward was also renovated.
The educator added that the feedback from parents and the patients have been very positive, noting that she loves to interact with the children.
And Acting CEO at the Cornwall Regional Hospital Anthony Smikle has lauded the 'We Care Foundation' for the initiative.
" It's very good project and we welcome it," said Smikle.
" What it really does is to assist in the healing process, and it allows the children to be educated, while they are away from school."
Meanwhile, Mega Mart on Tuesday handed over a cheque for $500,000 to board members of the 'We Care Foundation.'
The money represents point of sale donations by shoppers to the store's cashiers between May and December last year.
Speaking at the brief handing over ceremony , MegaMart's Store Manager Robert Wong said his company was very excited to partner with 'We Care,' in an effort to raise funds for the hospital.
He added that the company will continue to assist the charitable organisation as it seeks to improve the quality of health care at the medical facility.
" The hospital is always going to need help and so we are definitely going to continue because it is for a good cause," added Janice Meany, MegaMart's store manager.
And Director at 'We Care' Eleanor Millier has lauded Mega Mart for supporting the charitable organisation.
" I just want to commend Mr Gassan Azan (MegaMart's CEO) and his staff, especially the cashiers for their support," said Miller.

"'Too Asian'?" was not the first racist Maclean's article lamenting the quantity of racialized people displacing white people and white power.
In 2006, Maclean's published "The future belongs to Islam" by Mark Steyn, who assumed that Muslims all over the world were primarily focused on a shared goal of imposing Islamic law globally, and tried to bring to everyone's attention that the birth rates of Muslim-majority countries were higher than the birth rates of European countries. Steyn also pointed out that although "Africa" has a high birth rate, it is "riddled with AIDS" and "as we saw in Rwanda, [Africans'] primary identity is tribal". Steyn then invoked a white colonialist narrative by describing Muslim-majority areas as "Indian territory", "lawless fringes of the map", and "badlands" that needed to be "brought within the bounds of the ordered world". He waxed nostalgically about "the old Indian territory", when "no one had to worry about the Sioux riding down Fifth Avenue", "the white man settled the Indian territory", and "the Injuns had bows and arrows and the cavalry had rifles." His complaint was that "today's Indian territory"—i.e., Muslim-majority countries (!)—now have nuclear weapons, and "the fellow from the badlands" can now ride planes and travel quickly. Later, Steyn recounted a story in which some youths in Belgium assaulted a bus passenger, alleging that it was not at all surprising that the youths were "of Moroccan origin".
In other words, Maclean's has already published an extremely racist (and Islamophobic) article in the past. Four years later in 2010, Maclean's "'Too Asian'?" article expresses the same fears about an "Asian invasion" and dismay at the increasing numbers of racialized people in relation to white people within a given population. Not only is Maclean's "'Too Asian'?" a repeat of the W5 "Campus Giveaway" program in 1979 that griped about Asians taking up space in Canadian universities, but it is also a repeat of Maclean's 2006 article that bemoaned the changing of demographics from white to racialized.
While Maclean's "'Too Asian'?" is another manifestation of Canadian society's stereotypes about and discomfort with Asians, it reveals a larger pattern in which most white people are simply uncomfortable with racialized people gaining power. The underlying issue is white people's beliefs that the world is just, that the world is just because white people are running it, and that if racialized people take power, the world would fall into disarray. That is, most white people unconsciously internalize the idea of white supremacy. If black people were the largest racialized group in Canadian universities, white people would still complain.
Canadian Muslims in Toronto had filed a Human Rights Complaint against Maclean's in 2007, because the magazine would not allow them to publish a response to Steyn's "The future belongs to Islam". However, because of Islamophobic confirmation bias, the Canadian media and public erroneously assumed that the Muslims were attempting to stifle freedom of speech and debate. Unlike the situation with Maclean's "'Too Asian'?" article, the general public (including most non-Muslim Asian Canadians) was supportive of Maclean's and feared that the Muslim law students were trying to change Canadian law to follow Islamic law. Against the allegation that Steyn's article was "flagrantly Islamophobic", CBC's Rex Murphy sarcastically replied, "Maclean's magazine? Well, we all know what a hotbed of radical bigotry and vile prejudice Maclean's magazine has been. Go away," while using dramatic pauses and his middle-aged white male demeanour to shroud his logical fallacies in the semblance of wisdom. Sadly, when Canadian Muslims launched the Human Rights Complaint against Maclean's, it caused an Islamophobic backlash and reaffirmed the Canadian public's stereotypes of Muslims, despite evidence to the contrary.
Maclean's fails to recognize the humanity of racialized people when its writers complain about our existence. The "'Too Asian'?" article in particular fails to recognize our Canadianness and belongingness in Canada. We cannot win when those in power require us to prove our own humanity or Canadianness, because when they debate our belongingness, they question and deny our right to equally participate in the debate. However, what we can do together as racialized people is recognize that this is not a "Muslim problem" or an "Asian problem", but rather a whiteness problem. Yesterday it was Muslims, today it is Asians, but tomorrow it can be any other racialized group.

Code: Select all
1. (defun my-length (list)
2. (if list
3. (1+ (my-length (cdr list)))
4. 0))
> (my-length '(list with four objects))
1. We're defining the function 'my-length' which takes one argument 'list'
2. If the argument exists and is not empty, eg () or nil
3. do the following:
Pass '(with four objects) to the function my-length. It's recursive so then it'll pass '(four objects) to my-length until the list is empty.
What I don't understand here is "(1+" I thought that (1+ n) = (+ n 1). If that's correct, the recursive function adds:
'(list with four objects) + 1
'(with four objects) + 1
'(four objects) + 1
'(objects) + 1
Which doesn't make sense to me. How can you add strings and numbers? I can see that that's probably not the case. That each iteration 1 gets added to make the total of 4 (number of elements) but according to the code it seems to me that it gets added to the list of strings?!
Could you please explain how it really works? Thank you for your time and patience.

Sarah Murnaghan's Mom Used Social Media Savvy to Get Her Daughter Lungs
Sarah Murnaghan's mom used social media savvy to save her daughter.
June 26, 2013 -- Regardless of whether one agrees that 10-year-old Sarah Murnaghan should have gotten an adult lung transplant, one thing is clear: Sarah's mother figured out how to turn the Internet into a megaphone to fight for her daughter.
"Not every story catches media attention," said Dan O'Connor, who specializes in the ethics of social media and health care at the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. "It's like lightning in a jar."
Read about how Sarah woke up nine days after transplant.
Janet Murnaghan may currently be a stay-at-home mother of four in Newtown Square, Pa., but she wasn't always, according to her Facebook profile. The Villanova University graduate used to work in communications, and some of that know-how certainly paid off. Her Change.org campaign was in the top 1 percent of its petitions, and the attention ultimately led to Sarah's lung transplant.
"Five, 10 years ago, this wouldn't have happened," O'Connor said, adding that storytelling through social media gives patients and their families a sense of control they lose during illness. "Her primary goal was to save her daughter's life. Anyone in that situation would use whatever tools were available to them."
Murnaghan started with a Change.org petition, calling attention to what would become known as the Under 12 Rule, an organ transplant policy she said was pushing Sarah to the bottom of the adult lung transplant waiting list even though she was eligible for adult lungs. The rule said that even though Sarah would be given priority when pediatric lungs became available, adult lungs would have to be offered to adult matches in her region before they could be offered to her.
Read about how Sarah's story prompted a change to the organ transplant policy.
But 30,000 petitions are added to Change.org each month, said Change.org spokeswoman Megan Lubin. Somehow Murnaghan's petition went viral, starting with 10,000 signatures over Memorial Day weekend that eventually surpassed 370,000 signatures. It's in the top 1 percent of Change.org petitions.
"If you read that story, it's actually difficult to not want to do something," Lubin said.
O'Connor said that although a lot of the Murnaghan attention was probably the result of being at the right place at the right time, people's gut reactions to hearing about the Under 12 Rule certainly helped generate buzz.
"We're used to giving children everything first," O'Connor said, adding that even though there were scientific reasons for the policy to be the way it was, it seemed strange to the public that children would get adult lungs last.
Once the change.org petition took off on Memorial Day weekend, politicians took interest. They asked Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius to make an exception for Sarah, but the HHS secretary refused. Soon, the law firm Pepper Hamilton LLC offered its services to the Murnaghans for free. The firm started with a letter to Sebelius and went to court the following day.
On June 5, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order to prevent Sebelius from enforcing the rule for Sarah. By June 10, the Organ Transplantation and Procurement Network re-evaluated the Under 12 Rule and decided to keep it but created a mechanism for exceptions to be made depending on the case. Sarah's case was expected to be reviewed in court on June 14, but she got her transplant the day before.
On Saturday, June 22, Sarah woke up after nine days of sedation. She is expected to be taken off her ventilator and breathing on her own toward the end of the week, Murnaghan wrote on her Facebook page.
And now, the Murnaghans are using a new social media tool, gofundme.com, to raise $10,000 to pay for expenses associated with Sarah's treatment. In addition to updating Sarah's supporters on her condition, Murnaghan promised to post a video of her "awake and fully experiencing her new lungs."
O'Connor said telling health stories has become increasingly popular over the past few years, in part because all anyone needs to tell a story and generate buzz today is a cellphone or an Internet connection.
"You don't need to be friends with the director of your local newspaper," he said. "You don't need to have gone to the same college as a news anchor."
The Murnaghans raised $3,586 in four days.
Lubin said health petitions have done especially well on Change.org since she started working there a year and a half ago.
"People are winning and winning at really increasing rates," she said, adding that these victories can vary from getting better rates for certain procedures to prompting a review of the federal organ transplant policy. "It's been fascinating."

The Delaware Art Museum commissioned the artist to create a unique work of art for the building renovation, completed in 2005. For this light installation, Turrell installed LED fixtures in the arches and windows on the Museum's facade and in the clerestory on backside of the building. The result is an undulating, colored light that subtly radiates from the building during the hours closest to sunrise and sunset.Permalink to this object: http://emuseum.delart.org:8080/emuseum/view/objects/asitem/items$0040:11108

I want perfect skin, but for the last year it's been a struggle. Maybe because I started going to the gym and was sweating more? I shower on a regular basis, wash my face in the morning and evening, use a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. Twice a week I exfoliate and do a face mask. I only use spa-grade products, recommended especially for me, because I have sensitive skin. Most products either cause me to break out or my skin gets really red, or I get a chemical burn. AND still my pores seem to be out of control. First-world girl problems, I am aware.
And then I found Bliss Steep Clean Pore Purifying Mask. On the very first application I noticed a few things:
- it feels like a cream as opposed to clay
- no tingling/burning sensation
- does not dry on your skin
- only one application required a week
- chemical exfoliation, no need for anything abrasive to clear away dead skin cells and build up
I was able to keep it on my skin for the full 15 minutes without any ill effects. I wiped it off and my skin was baby smooth and it looked fabulous. No redness, no tightness, no dryness. My pores were almost non-existent. I used this mask before bed, and the next morning my face was still looking pretty. I give Bliss Steep Clean Pore Purifying Mask an A+ and I'm going to check out the rest of their skin care line. I'll let you know what I find.
You can buy it on their website, here, or here. Always buy your beauty products from a trusted retailer.
Happy face washing!
