How often do you see a homeless person on the street asking for money, food, or shelter?
Even though you might have an idea about how they ended up being homeless, you will never know what they would do with what they are asking for until you give it to them.
This homeless man shows us how he would spend a $100 gift. Yes, 100 bucks.
And believe me, it's not what you think.
You will be touched!
You will also learn to never judge a person based on their appearance only; look further than that!

The 2014 World Championships concluded Sunday in Nanning with the second day of apparatus finals.
Women's all-around champion Simone Biles (U.S.) won two more gold medals, taking titles on both balance beam and floor exercise with hit routines. Biles now owns six world championship titles, putting her ahead of Shannon Miller as the most successful U.S. gymnast at the world championships.
Nanning's own Bai Yaiwen, in her first world championships, hit a beautiful exercise on balance beam (featuring a textbook Yang Bo leap) to win the silver medal in front of the home crowd.
Russia's Aliya Mustafina picked up bronze medals on both balance beam and floor exercise to bring her total world championships medal haul to 11. (Compatriot Svetlana Khorkina, in the stands in Nanning, holds the most for a female with 20.) Mustafina committed a major error on balance beam after her consecutive front aerials turned into a front aerial, front walkover combination (costing her .5 for having no required acro series). But with major mistakes from most of the other competitors, Mustafina surprisingly held on to a medal. On floor exercise, she upgraded her first pass, adding two whips before her Arabian double front, to take another bronze medal.
Romanian star Larisa Iordache lost her chance to win the balance beam title after falling on her usually consistent ff, tucked full. The all-around silver medalist took another silver on floor exercise behind Biles.
In the men's competition, Ri Se Gwang matched female North Korean compatriot Hong Un Jong by winning the men's vault title. Ri managed to land the two vaults he invented — the piked Dragulescu and full-twisting Tsukahara double back — which were also the two most difficult vaults of the finals valued at 6.4 Difficulty). Ri stood up both vaults despite injuries to his ankles that required him to be carried off the podium again by his coach.
Igor Radivilov, third on vault at the 2012 Olympics, picked up the silver medal, the first world medal for Ukraine since Alexander Vorobyov won the bronze on still rings at the 2009 World Championships. U.S. team member Jake Dalton won the bronze with two clean vaults.
Two-time world champion and 2012 Olympic champion Yang Hak Seon (Korea) fell on both his vaults. Yang, who has been suffering from injury, attempted a new, 6.4-Difficulty vault, a 3 1/2-twisting Tsukahara, but sat down. He also fell on his namesake vault, the triple-twisting front handspring layout front.
Oleg Vernyayev performed a flawless routine on parallel bars, ending with an absolutely nailed double front-half dismount. He is the first world champion for Ukraine since Irina Krasnyanskaya won balance beam in 2006.
2011 world champion Danell Leyva (U.S.) also performed the routine of his life for silver, while Japan's Ryohei Kato won the bronze medal.
The competition ended with Dutch star Epke Zonderland (The Netherlands) defending his world title on high bar. Superstar Kohei Uchimura (Japan) took second behind Zonderland, and Croatia's Marijo Možnik placed third to win his first world championships medal. Uchimura, who extended his dominance to five consecutive world all-around titles in Nanning, is now the most decorated Japanese gymnast at the world championships. Uchimura now owns 16 world championship medals, surpassing Eizo Kenmotsu 15 medals won from 1970 to 1979. Vitaly Scherbo (Belarus) remains the all-time record holder with 23 world championship medals.
The world championships return to Europe next year, taking place Oct. 23-Nov. 1 in Glasgow, Scotland.

The Hunger by Susan Squires
I just finished this book, and God was it intense! But if you've read any of Susan's books, that shouldn't surprise you. The storyline is gripping, the action is unrelenting, and the romance is touching. Vampires plotting to take over the world via Napoleon? It all seems so plausible when painted with Susan Squire's masterful literary brush, dipped in exquisite, sensual detail.
Blood Moon Over
by Morag McKendrick Pippin (
While I do love a good Regency, I'm always hunting for historical romances set in unusual time periods. Three cheers to Dorchester Publishing for this wonderful World War II romance! Murder, spies, double agents...can a young woman and a wounded soldier-turned-policeman keep a secret code from falling into enemy hands? Wartime
This book is a reissue of an early Crusie romance. It's as sweet and irresistible as a chocolate bar, with none of the calories. Where does J.C. get her inspiration for all her (heterosexual) classic-movie-loving heroes? Do guys like that really exist on Earth? Or do you have to import them from Venus? Ah well, at least we get to read and dream...
Sweep by Cate Tiernan (Puffin)
This fourteen-book series follows a year in the life of upstate New York teenager Morgan Rowlands, a Wiccan version of Harry Potter. Each book ends on a cliffhanger, so I dare you to read just one! It's a good thing Morgan's parents are clueless, because if they knew half the dangerous witchy stuff Morgan was getting into, they'd freak for sure.
Kare First Love by Kaho Miyasaka (VIZ Media LLC)
I'm up to volume six in this series, with more to come. Shy, awkward Karin meets hot upperclassman Kiyira when he accidentally lifts up her skirt on a bus. Can the teenage pair survive secrets, jealous friends, unsympathetic parents, Kiyira's three dozen after-school jobs, Karin's obsessive studying, and their own hormones? A very entertaining story with beautiful, beautiful artwork.

Every bit as funny as I remembered it to be. Kevin "Don't EVER Call Me Stupid" Kline is a comic genius in this movie! John Cleese shucks off all his clothes and Jamie Lee Curtis seduces every man in sight. Michael Palin's stuttering, animal-loving hit man rounds out the laughs.
Happy reading and watching!

On 6th July 2017 we held a study day on Dysphagia and Quality of Life, if you were unable to attend or simply would like to refresh your memory you can view all the session videos here as well as download any of the resources.
This study day and now course is designed to enhance your knowledge and practical skills in enhancing the quality of life for patients with dysphagia.
It is aimed at all health care professionals, primarily aimed at Speech & Language Therapists who see adults with dysphagia in their day-to-day practice.
View each session from the day below alongside a summary video.
Access your CPD Personal Reflection Sheet here
Dr Ben Hanson, Senior Lecturer in Engineering University College London
The first talk of the day demonstrated how academia links to clinical practice - how lab based science is applicable to people and has clinical relevance. Rheology, the relationship between pressure and force, can be used to design texture modification strategies and products and contribute to standardisation of these. Thickening agents are of daily use to speech and language therapists and other health professionals; however this talk gave the underpinning engineering knowledge of why they work and how we can control the movement of a bolus and therefore the swallowing process. 'Apparent viscosity' was the focus of the presentation- dysphagia products have high apparent viscosity (appear thick but require little force to swallow e.g. mousse) which means the bolus is easier to control and has a slower motion. Studies at University College London have found that individuals perceive level of thickness differently- therefore healthcare professionals may perceive the different stages differently too.
Take Home Message:
There is a wide range of ways of classifying and measuring rheology in practice, from lab work using rheometry, to visual or verbal descriptors such as our current UK National Descriptors, however we need to find a simple, cost-effective standardised way of measuring viscosity that can be used in the clinical world rather than a lab setting.
Dr Hanson's second talk followed on the theme of finding a standardised way of measuring viscosity by outlining the process of development of the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI). The aim of IDDSI's board of directors is to develop a culturally sensitive, age-span framework of terminology and descriptors for texture and fluid modification. Following a systematic review of all thickeners, rheology and dysphagia papers the board looked to find reliable measures of stimulus but found very little consensus. Therefore the IDDSI framework pyramid was developed. The texture modification of food maps clearly to the UK descriptors and explanation was given to how the fluid modification now takes account of naturally thick fluids meaning some changes in terminology for UK health care professionals. The IDDSI flow test was outlined with practical demonstrations in the breaks. The fork test was highlighted by attendees as a top tip of the day- the gap between fork prongs is always approx. 4mm, the size that minced food should be, helpful for use in training other professionals, carers and patients.
Take Home Message:
Both IDDSI and Nestlé Health Science are committed to providing training resources and examples of best practice.
Dharinee Hansjee, Head of Speech and Language Therapy Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust
Dharinee Hansjee, specialist advisor for CQC, outlined the process of completing an inspection to give attendees an insight into how the 5 key domains apply to Speech and language therapy- in particular hydration and nutrition. Dharinee provided examples of the policies or procedures that should be in place to ensure a successful CQC inspection and of course ideal patient care. She also outlined the ways CQC try to gather data through patient and carer observation and interview. Interestingly Dharinee is part of an advisory group for medicines management and dysphagia, and they have developed a care home charter for swallowing and medicines.
Take Home Message:
Good communication and information sharing will lead to better patient care. The patient should be at the centre of decisions and treated as an individual with risk managed appropriate.
Rosalyn Davis Dental Program Manager 1000 Lives Improvement, Public Health Wales
Rosalyn's talk continued the day's theme of dignity and quality of life. Practical advice was given on how to manage patients with dysphagia who will have reduced oral hygiene due limited self-cleaning within the mouth, particularly relevant due to the link between periodontal disease and systemic disease. There is a large evidence base linking poor oral health and dysphagia that requires ventilation, however all studies have the same solution; remove plaque. Hard hitting case studies from the Francis Report (2013) were provided followed by tips such as ensuring 5000ppm fluoride toothpastes are used for adults with dysphagia using a smear on a dry brush, brushing dentures with soap and water twice a day to avoid abrasion and build-up of plaque and reminding patients with dysphagia that they should inform their dentists of their respective condition. Rosalyn outlined her work on the Welsh Government Programme for oral care and copies of the protocol were provided to attendees.
Take Home Message:
Mouth care risk assessments and care plans should be in place for all patient's with dysphagia to help reduce the risk of aspiration pneumonia and it is the job of the healthcare professional to ensure these are delivered properly and not as a tick-box exercise.
Alison Smith, Prescribing Support Dietitian Chiltern and Aylesbury Vale Clinical Commissioning Groups
Do we know how much thickener our patients are getting prescribed? Is it enough? These questions spurred reflection for all attendees, as the evidence showed that our patients are not always being prescribed with enough thickening agents. This talk focused on the process of switching from one thickener to another in a CCG and also additional MDT guidance for specific patient groups. Alison reiterated that gum based thickeners are more palatable and actually cost effective; she gave the timeline of her year long project to change to Resource® ThickenUp™ Clear (a gum based thickener) in her area. She inspired attendees to do the same and how they could switch to this product by working with their local acute trust, community trust and CCG. Advice was also given on how to communicate prescribing guidelines to GPs by keeping it-short, sharp and 1 side of A4 paper! The second part of the talk explored how liquid medications do not meet fluid texture recommendations so working with pharmacists is essential. How to meet requirements for those with diabetes and dysphagia in the event of hypoglycaemia in the form of hypo-boxes and glucose syrup was also given as a top tip.
Take Home Message:
MDT collaboration can help instigate change and help other staff members develop their understanding of dysphagia. However, one off training sessions are rarely able to embed change in practice and we should be working with pharmacists and care homes to ensure medications are managed correctly.
Debbie Begent Adult Speech and Language Therapy Service Manager Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust
Debbie reminded SLTs that the focus should not just be on aspiration but on quality of life and that the implications of making a patient nil by mouth (NBM). She outlined the palliative comfort feeding guidelines developed at Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust- tailor made care plans for feeding an individual. Following these guidelines a care home can put patients on thickened fluids before assessment to keep their swallow? As safe and comfortable as possible. NBM should only be used when necessary. These were challenging topics for discussion and case studies were used to show how the guidelines can be used in practice and how risk and quality of life can be balanced.
Take Home Message:
Healthcare Professionals need to be more mindful of how seriously and profoundly changes in eating can affect an individual. Could risk be balanced more with quality of life?

Yahoo! has updated its Yahoo! Messenger app for iOS devices and its going to give users another choice for video chat besides Apple's FaceTalk.
One of the biggest limitations of FaceTalk is that it can only be used by iPhone 4 or iPod touch 4G owners over a Wi-Fi connection. Version 2.0 of Yahoo! Messenger in the App Store now not only supports video calls over a Wi-Fi and 3G connection, but video calls can take place between an iPhone and Yahoo! Messenger desktop clients. In addition to video calls, voice calls can now be made between Yahoo! Messenger users while calls to a mobile phone or landline using the client is now possible for a low cost.
Reviews of the update have been mixed based on user comments posted to the App Store. While some like that the client can support other iPhone models using the camera on the back of their phone others weren't too excited that the client lacked retina display support for the iPhone 4 or iPod touch 4G. Other complaints included the inability for video chats to use the phone's entire screen and a problem with video calls between an iPhone and the Yahoo! Messenger client for Mac.

As we discussed last week, there are indeed unreached people groups in the United States. Many of these return back to their original countries or have friends and family there that they communicate with and visit regularly. The exciting thing is that you can help reach the unreached right in your own backyard.
The first step, however, is to figure out how to find them.
1. Keep Your Eyes Open
As you walk through your neighborhood and visit your local shops and restaurants, keep an eye open for who is living next door or working at your local businesses. Unreached people can be Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, and more. They might come from India, Pakistan, China, the Middle East, and many other countries. Recently, I met a wonderful family that owns a local pizza shop who came here recently from Iraq. If you live in a city, it will be much easier to find those from unreached areas, but even in rural areas you might be surprised at who your neighbors are.
2. Check Your Local Universities
Another way to find unreached people groups in your area is to check with ministiries at your local university. To find out which organizations are working with International students, ask the university, your local church, or do an online search. You can also check with Intervarsity, Navigators, or Campus Crusade for Christ. If your university does not have a ministry there, you can volunteer to be a host family.
Now that you know where to look for unreached people groups in your own backyard, you just need to know how to reach out to connect with them.
Got any more ideas? Just put them in the comment section.
Tune in next week to find out How to Connect with Unreached People Groups in Your Own Backyard.
One Response to "How to Find Unreached People Groups in Your Own Backyard"
Carly Says:
June 6th, 2011 at 10:21 am
To add to #2, some university's, like mine, offer dozens of student organizations that are geared towards certain cultures. For example, my campus has ISA (International Student Association), NAACP, Italian Club, Japanese Club, Chinese Club, Model UN, Model Arab League, Model African League, Turkish Student Organization, Latin American Association, the Global Village, and on and on and on! We found that there was a disconnect between the campus ministries and the students in these organizations. Through partnerships with churches and those ministries on campus, we've begun to bridge this gap and reach the international students with the gospel and with service. You would be surprised how NEEDED your services are among international students– everything from airport pickups, to shopping, to friendship, to the most important, the gospel. They are usually eager to know more about America, be in American's homes, and enjoy America's activities. Take advantage of it! God will do much.

Stuart Hall's Definition of Ideology
The most frequent working definition of the term ideology in contemporary cultural studies and related fields is the following from Stuart Hall:
By ideology I mean the mental frameworks – the languages, the concepts, categories, imagery of thought, and the systems of representation – which different classes and social groups deploy in order to make sense of, figure out and render intelligible the way society works.
- Quoted in John Storey, "Introduction", in Storey, ed., Cultural Theory, p. vvii
One interesting feature of this definition is that it avoids any approach to Marxism, notable because academically ideology is traditionally seen as a Marxist concept, and is often attacked on those grounds, such as here by Foucault. But historically the term predates Marx, and its popular usage is not usually inflected with Marxist ideas, so this academic approach towards the popular usage is to be welcomed, I think. There's no need to subscribe to Marxist tenets like base and superstructure, etc., to use ideology.
It's notable, as well, that Hall avoids a pejorative definition. Both most popular and academic usages, including Marx and Engels in The German Ideology, see ideology as a bad thing, an element of thought involving mystification and misperception. For Hall it's just a feature of the way groups deal with the world. Rather than, say, "make meaning", which would have implied a certain distance between things as they are and as they are seen by the relevant groups, he goes with "make sense of", which has more benign connotations. Ideology thus becomes less critical and more neutral.
On the other hand, Hall's reduction of mental operations to "frameworks" is problematic. Consciousness itself can't be reduced to frameworks, so ideology, as a feature of consciousness, should not be either. It's more nebulous than that, and the analysis of ideology has to be prepared for the multiform paths it could take, which cannot be pre-empted but only become clear in the course of analysis of a given text and may not correspond to any "framework".
Ideology has a complex and interesting history, and engagement with this history is as important as any formal definition one could come up with. As for definitions, I tend to differ from many academics in that I think for key critical terms, the looser the better. Let the complexity lie in the analysis, not in the general theorizing or the definition of terms. To study ideology is to study consciousness; and consciousness, as we know, is the last mystery – it can't yet be fully defined, but it can be studied with attention and an open mind.

There are three areas in which to compare and contrast the two works: The historical, the production, and the aesthetic. The last one is the most ambiguous and subjective, therefore, it is advantageous to look at the historical first.
Note the historical setting for Da Vinici: Who were the patrons of art and how did that affect the artist's work? Who commissioned the portrait in this case? What was the political-social culture of that time and did it influence the production of the painting? Was Da Vinici making a "statement" about his political-social frame or did an artist of that time have that option?
Now compare that to the time frame for Warhol's work. Was this a commissioned work and would that be an influence in the rendering? Was Warhol making a "statement" about his political-social setting? Was he looking into the aspects of the current culture with this image, and ...

Indian inflation as measured by Wholesale Price Index (WPI) is released every week. 2 weeks back this number came out negative for the first time in 30 years. Though, WPI is indicating deflation; no one in India is concerned about it and this negative number is attributed to high base index. In India the inflation is actually calculated year-over-year (y-o-y), unlike other economies where inflation calculated as annualized month-over-month (m-o-m) change. Thus, the base index plays an important role in inflation calculation in India.
The problem with having a base index 1 year old is that the conditions may have changed, which makes y-o-y calculations misleading. Consider that last year oil was approaching $140 around July but is no longer the case today. Therefore, most countries prefer annualized m-o-m change. However, to annualize m-o-m data it is important to adjust the data for seasonality. Retail industry provides a to understand seasonality. In retail most of the sales happen in the last quarter (Q4) of the year (due to holiday shopping). Sales in Q3 and Q1 of next year will be considerably less than Q4. Thus without adjusting for seasonality it would be difficult understand the trend.
Now that we understand seasonality, the next question to consider is: Is there seasonality in Indian inflation data inflation (WPI) and whether we have seasonally adjusted data? The second question is easier to answer: there is no official (or unofficial that I am aware of) measure of seasonally adjusted data in India.
Office of the Economic Adviser, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, provides and maintains the WPI data. I downloaded the monthly WPI data from this site to figure out whether there is seasonality in the data.
Visual inspection of the plot gives no clue about the seasonality of the data. The trend is increase in the WPI throughout year except for 2008 when it ran up from under 220 to over 240 from Jan '08 to Aug '08. The chart clearly shows the impact that base year of 2008 has on y-o-y calculation. Since Feb '09 the data shows the same trend of gradual increase but since the base is increasing at a higher rate the inflation rate is actually decreasing!
Having hit a dead end with the visual method, I tried to see if there was any software available that could do the seasonal adjustment. I found x-12 Arima, which is used and maintained by US Census Bureau and used for official seasonal adjustment for all kinds of data. Moreover, this is also used by NZ and UK governments with some modifications. I tried making modification as identified in the NZ paper but did not get any meaningful differences from the default method. So to get the seasonally adjusted data I used the defaults for the program.
Now that I had adjusted data, calculating annualized inflation based on m-o-m changes was easy. However, using m-o-m made the inflation very volatile. So I decided to smooth it by averaging over a quarter (3-months) e.g. to calculate the inflation for May '09, I calculated m-o-m inflation for Mar '09, Apr '09 and May '09, took the average and multiplied the result by 12.
i.e. Annualized Seasonally Adjusted - 3 month average = [Average (Inflation current month + Inflation previous month + Inflation 2nd previous month)]*12.
The plot of seasonally adjusted data and y-o-y change in unadjusted data is provided below.
The chart clearly shows that seasonally adjusted inflation bottomed in Dec '08 and has been steadily going up since then. Therefore, now its easy to understand why the RBI (India's Central Bank) is not worried about deflation. It would be interesting to see RBI's policy looking at this data and see if they , however I could not find data on RBI's policy rate history.
The annual number, barring a price shock, is likely to remain negative for atleast couple of months. It would be interesting to see how the m-o-m data shapes out in the coming month. I believe it is important to keep an eye on this number. If the m-o-m data does not stabilize and continues in the same trajectory and RBI continues easy monetary policy then next year RBI may well be battling with inflation again.

Pre Launch Access
Many established, as well as niche or start-up pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies are keen on the prospect of launching products into multiple markets, but often do not have the resources and expertise to do so. Patients, meanwhile, are deprived of access to new life saving drugs, which are simply not available in their territory.
Mawdsleys offers a one stop shop service to facilitate market access in new territories, offering regulatory support, Controlled Access Programmes as well as named patient distribution across Europe and emerging markets, through our network of regional offices in LatAm, Asia-Pac and MENA. We can even help pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies license their product into a territory, when the time is right.
Some countries cannot justify a formal launch nor may it be commercially viable to seek a marketing authorisation. Mawdsleys' extensive experience and expertise in many local markets enables manufacturers to install Controlled Access Programmes creating new demand and offering a direct route to patient access. Seemingly straightforward issues, such as the logistical importation process for non-locally registered medicines varies dramatically, even within the EU, from country to country, so having a partner with detailed knowledge of the relevant procedures and regulations saves both cost and time to market.
Mawdsleys endeavour to deliver an exemplary level of service in the supply of quality medicines to support unmet therapeutic needs and through our Controlled Access Programmes assist manufacturers to ensure their dedicated research effort reaches the patient.
Marketing Authorisations
Mawdsleys are also well placed to help pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies license their niche products in a new territory, should the demand be significant enough. With specific expertise in the regulatory requirements of competent authorities and as specialists in niche pharmaceuticals, Mawdsleys can help clients efficiently get their products approved using QP batch release, ensuring all the required standards have been met.

Comment: Hello,
My name is Gary Bagwell and my wife Laura and I are new property owners in the Birchwood Springs Subdivision. I have been going to Bear lake since the 1960's. We have spent many weeks at Tuttle's Cabins and have rented many other cottages on beautiful Bear Lake. My Aunt and Uncle purchased a cabin on Bear Lake back in the 60's ( still own ) and we stayed there also. I love this lake and all the memories we have had there but could not afford lake front property. After looking for over 30 years my wife and I decided we could afford a lot off the lake so we can enjoy Bear Lake with out renting. We purchased a lot in Birchwood Springs that has a lake access lot within 75 yards of our lot. The main reason we purchased this particular lot is that we can enjoy the water without driving to the main public access which at times is overcrowded. This information about closing road endings is very alarming. Where will it end? How will it affect those who have cabins across the road with lake ending lots they used to enjoy? How could such a proposal become law? Well to me it seems obvious. When you have a property owner on the board who owns a lake front lot and votes to close road endings that's how it can happen. According to a previous blog that stated, "Sue Boss made the motion to accept the Resolution, quickly seconded by Sue Allen. With little discussion, a vote was taken, passing by a 3-2 margin."
If this statement is true then here is the problem, its called conflict of interest. Note the definition of a conflict of interest from the online Dictionary by Farlex Conflict of Interest
A term used to describe the situation in which a public official or fiduciary who, contrary to the obligation and absolute duty to act for the benefit of the public or a designated individual, exploits the relationship for personal benefit, typically pecuniary.
In certain relationships, individuals or the general public place their trust and confidence in someone to act in their best interests. When an individual has the responsibility to represent another person—whether as administrator, attorney, executor, government official, or trustee—a clash between professional obligations and personal interests arises if the individual tries to perform that duty while at the same time trying to achieve personal gain. The appearance of a conflict of interest is present if there is a potential for the personal interests of an individual to clash with fiduciary duties, such as when a client has his or her attorney commence an action against a company in which the attorney is the majority stockholder.
Incompatibility of professional duties and personal interests has led Congress and many state legislatures to enact statutes defining conduct that constitutes a conflict of interest and specifying the sanctions for violations. A member of a profession who has been involved in a conflict of interest might be subject to disciplinary proceedings before the body that granted permission to practice that profession.
Again if the board member passed a law or resolution that could eventually mean the closing of the lake lot next to their property or to help fellow lake lot owners to take over these road endings I believe this could be a conflict of interest. Instead of representing the majority of property owners this proposal seems to benefit the very legislators that are passing it.
If I have the facts wrong let me know. But I want to make it very clear we are not in favor of closing any road endings or any public lake access lots of any kind. To pass this law to benefit a few lake front owners and possible board members seems extremely unjust.
My wife and I will do our best to oppose this action.
