When busy mornings take over, you can still whip up a nutritious and flavor-packed breakfast with these Quick and Easy Baked Huevos Rancheros.
Okay, really? What the heck. How is it the end of August already?!
It seems like just last week that I had that huge last day of school – first day of summer vacation teacher grin on my face. Now it's been replaced with those dreadful back to school commercials, constantly reminding me of the impending doom that is awaiting me as summer wanes down.
Another school year.
And another school year means way less time for breakfast. But I'm determined this year to get my days started off right. Goodbye scarfing down granola bars in the car, hello quick and easy baked huevos rancheros.
My love for Mexican and southwest flavors is no secret. I'm all about it.
Southwest Spaghetti Squash Bowls
All of these Cinco de Mayo recipes
Baked Horchata Donuts and Baked Churro Donuts
Southwestern Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
…and the list goes on and on.
When I can have it first thing in the morning? #winning
And listen, it's hard enough getting just Asheley and I ready in the morning… I can't even imagine once you start throwing kids into the mix. But these baked huevos rancheros really are super quick for crazy hectic mornings, when you don't want to sacrifice flavor in the name of ease.
Extra good news. Safest Choice™ eggs are pasteurized, so you and your family can totally go to town on these glorious runny yolks with confidence. They are the epitome of safe and taste in the egg world. #peaceofmind
In a perfect dreamy world, you'll use these Homecooked Cowboy Beans as your refried beans. Cook them up as a dinner side dish over the weekend, and you'll have plenty leftover for weekday morning breakfasts. But in a pinch, just grab some canned refried beans. It works just fine
But if you have Asheley in your house, there's one thing you absolutely cannot skimp on. Avocado. The girl is all about the avocado. She's already not a morning person… and then if you forget the avocado, well, it's not pretty.
Bonus… throw in some leftover sauteed greens for extra nutrition in the morning. I had some cooked up swiss chard lying around. Spinach and kale would work great also. Heck, even thawed frozen greens would be a win in these Quick and Easy Baked Huevos Rancheros!
For this Quick and Easy Baked Huevos Rancheros recipe, please head over to the Safest Choice™ Eggs website 🙂

The latest trend in self service are these food "Bazaars." Having never been to one, here's how it went.
It was breakfast time, so I wandered around until I found something resembling breakfast food. Instead of interacting with customers, they now expect us to put our grubby hands on a tablet where everyone else's grubby hands have been, providing everyone with an excellent way to spread disease.
The lady behind the counter kept mumbling to herself about the orders, so when she mumbled something about my order, I had no idea she was actually addressing me. After I didn't move, she finally looked at me and loudly stated "pay at the self-pay area and come back so I can start your order!" Ah, thanks. So, I wandered around until I found a drink, then did my best to pay the bill. It didn't like my card. Try again two or three times and success!
Then I wandered back to wait for my food. Overall, it was decent fare. The eggs came from real chickens, the pancake was fresh off the griddle, and the sausage had decent flavor. Not the best, but I've had much worse.
Now we're about to board. Here's hoping the flight home is as nice as the flight to Newark.

I'm trying to keep up our reading posts regularly, due to having so many positive comments about what we are reading. I thought that I would round up last year's reading from all of us, adults included, on what our favourites have been.
First up, my reading has been minimal apart from kids books of course! I will be honest and say that I have only read a handful of books this year due to my love and work of keeping up with social media and blogging as its takes up my available downtime. I'm hoping to sneak more reading into my 2019 goals and so hopefully this time next year I can say I have read more. So waffle aside, my favourite book has to be The Cows by Dawn O'Porter. This book won my top slot as I simply couldn't put it down whilst on Sumer holidays and even Dougie got gripped by the plot when he had finished his book! I loved the different dynamics of the characters in the book and the twist in the plot which took me by surprise but yet I still finished the book with a sense of content. I don't want to say much more, in case you haven't read this and want to. It's highly recommended by me, a reader who requires escapism and nothing too heavy after a busy demanding day.
Dougie's favourite book this year – Natural Born Heroes by Christopher McDougall. This is an interesting mix of a book; part WW2 & Parkour history, part spy novel, part nutrition science, part fitness & exercise development, it takes you on a journey of exploration and information while being thoroughly engaging.
Finlay aged 12 1/2. The Polar Bear Explorers Club by Alex Bell
This is one of the best books I have ever read. This book focuses on the main character Stella and her adventures with a group of junior explorers. They adventure to the Icelands and encounter yetis, ice fairies and man-eating cabbages! They get separated by the main exploration group and reach the furthest point of undiscovered Icelands. This book will be enjoyed by ages 10-14 and is a must read, especially for fans of Phillip Pullman.
Tom Gates~ What Monster By Daisy age 10 now!
This book will make you lol! It's full of ideas and exciting illustrations. Including 3d monsters! My favourite bit is when Tom makes a cardboard monster and acts this out instead of being a tree in the school play. The teachers were furious but the audience was delighted! You have to read it, if you're seven to eleven!
The Variety of Life- Nicola Davies and Lorna Scobie by Teddy aged 5
I love it because it's a big book. I like the penguin page because it has weird penguins like the macaroni penguin because they're so funny to look at. I also love the mice page because one of the mice who lives in America has a funny bottom. The snake page always scares my Grandma and there are cool snakes that look like fish but are actually snakes. I even took this book to share with my friends at school.
Pip and Posy The Scary Monster-Axel Scheffler
Even little Florence joined in with her favourite of 2018. She's really enjoyed the simple tale of The Scary Monster and its message about being brave and taking turns. She loves how on each page there are things to spot and emotions to discuss.
I will certainly be keeping up with our favourite reads into 2019. I especially enjoy reading the kids synopsis on their reading books.
Ooo I think L would love The Variety of Life, I'll have to find it for him. #StayClassyMama
It's definitely a must have! Thank you x
Love Teddy's review. My favourite book of 2018 was Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. I recommend setting a GoodReads Reading challenge – it spurred me on to read more last year. #Stayclassymama
What a great idea, I will do just that! ☺

Hesira Med is dedicated with being well informed with all research being conducted into the bone healing process. An intriguing article regarding this topic was recently conducted by Vanderbilt University. This article used mice that were deficient in the gene for fibrin production to study healing rates in fractures. To their surprise they found that fibrin was not essential to bone repair, mice deficient in fibrin were still able to repair bone at a normal rate. Furthermore they found that mice who were unable to perform fibrinolysis had impaired vascularization through out the fracture, and difficulty in regenerating bone. This indicates that rather than being essential for bone regeneration, fibrin is an obstacle. While a great deal of research is still needed to verify the validity of these studies, if true, this is an impressive new finding which could change the way we view bone regeneration.

Open Air Concerts
2011 – Mercury & James Aston
On Sunday 28th August two excellent tribute acts performed at our Pop Party in the Park.
Despite heavy rain earlier in the week, the weather was perfect for the audience to set up their tables and chairs for this picnic-style event in the south park.
The evening started with The Ultimate Tribute to the King of Pop featuring James Aston as Michael Jackson, who sung and danced his way through some of Jackson's most memorable songs including, Beat It, Billie Jean and Earth Song. James Aston and his backing dancers gave a superb performance of Michael Jackson's unforgettable record Thriller, donning ghoulish costumes and face masks to emulate the iconic Thriller video.
In the second half of the show, the audience were on their feet to welcome Mercury, appearing as Queen, with dynamic front man Freddie Mercury. With over a decade on tour, Mercury is established as one of the world's most authentic tributes to Freddie Mercury and the band. The show captured the true charismatic appeal of rock's most flamboyant lead vocalist and was backed up by superbly crafted harmonies and intricate guitar work. In true style, Mercury recreated the distinctive Queen experience with renditions of many favourite songs including, Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio Ga Ga and I Want It Now. The evening finished with a brilliant version of We Are The Champions which had the crowd singing along as fireworks lit up the night sky.
The event was brought to Holkham courtesy of Live Promotions Events Limited.

So, occasionally, in class, as a means to try and give students some sense of the massiveness of our financial debts, I'll ask them the rhetorical question, "How long would it take you to count to a billion?" The answer is easy to calculate, of course. But I present it like this: "If you counted one number per second, such that counting to 18, for example, takes 18 seconds, and you did this non-stop, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year -- never sleeping and never not counting -- it would take you just under 32 years to get to 1 billion". And that's just one billion!!! In the scheme of things, American economy-wise, a billion is small change. So, how about a trillion? Well, there's
1000 billion in a trillion, so 1000 x 32 years gives us just under 32, 000 years to count to a trillion!
The exercise isn't perfect, of course, but it does wake my students up a bit, which is ultimately the goal. So why am I droning on about this? Because I'm trying to create some background for you when you click here and read this short, scary, necessary post from Not PC. Here's a slice to entice you:
One quadrillion dollars. More than seven-million yen per taxpayer. One-thousand trillion yen in total, owed to Japanese's aging savers.Here it is in zeroes:1,000,000,000,000,000.And here's the really sad thing: After twenty-three years of their government trying to fix their 1990 depression by borrowing and overspending , they're still in it. And the debt they've amassed in trying to fix it has just passed the fifteen-zero barrier, and it's accelerating.But here's what's really, really sad: virtually every government in the west is trying to emulate them.

Some employers have been incorrectly including compulsory super amounts as reportable employer super contributions on their employees' payment summaries for the 2009-10 income year.
The reported amounts incorrectly included are:-
However, reportable employer super contributions should only include additional super contributions made by an employer, for example, super contributions made on behalf of an employee under a salary sacrifice.
These mistakes should be corrected before lodgement and the employer provide an amended payment summary.
If a taxpayer has already lodged their individual tax return using the incorrect information and completed any of the income tested items or have rebates, offsets, obligations or entitlements, which use adjusted taxable income, they will also need to lodge an amendment to that return.
This is relevant for anyone with the need for an adjusted taxable income calculation – an arbitrary amount used for determining eligibility for many tax rebates, offsets and eligibility for Centrelink, child support, HECS, SFSS and super contribution.
If unsure whether adjusted taxable income is relevant, refer to our previous article titled Adjusted Taxable Income, reproduded for your convenience below.

On Tuesday, June 10, Devex hosted its first-ever Partnerships Forum in Manila. As part of the event, representatives from some of the world's largest foreign aid donors converged in the Philippine capital to discuss the latest business trends and opportunities with top government officials, corporate leaders and civil society representatives, strike up new partnerships and map out the future of Asia-Pacific's development.
The region is booming, of course, but it also remains one of the biggest recipients of official development assistance as countries here are particularly prone to the impacts of climate change and continue to grapple with infrastructure and governance issues, among many other challenges.
Watch out for much more coverage — including exclusive video interviews and business analysis — on the Devex website in the coming days. Meanwhile, here's some of the buzz from the Devex Partnerships Forum, which is supported by our executive partner RTI International as well as partnership engagement sponsors Cardno, Engility, ICM, the Asia Foundation and World Vision, local engagement sponsors AsianNGO and One Meralco Foundation and supporting organization DAI.
9:15 AM UTC: Stephen Groff, vice president of operations at the Asian Development Bank, shares his outlook for the Asia-Pacific region's growth with Devex President and Editor-in-Chief Raj Kumar as we kick off today's video interview series. Groff, who formerly worked with the Millennium Challenge Corp. and OECD, also discusses development in Myanmar and the Philippines specifically, and cites Asia's immense infrastructure needs — without mentioning China's plans to create a new Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank that would fill some of the financing gaps left on the continent.
11:45 AM UTC: In a video conversation with Devex President and Editor-in-Chief Raj Kumar, Paul Weisenfeld stressed the need for aid agencies, as they increasingly "go local," to also push science and innovation in the countries they work in, too. At this point, Weisenfeld suggested, many international aid groups don't do enough yet to invest in the same kinds of technology — like geomapping — that they invest in at home. If we truly want to go local, he said, we have to share those innovations, too. Weisenfeld also stressed the need for local organizations which want to win foreign aid funding to not just have good intentions but to also focus on data and metrics — international investors expect it of their partners.
Throughout the day, we spoke with many more leaders from the Asia-Pacific region, including top officials from the International Monetary Fund, European Union, Millennium Challenge Corp., just to name a few. Subscribe to the Devex YouTube channel to stay up-to-date as we roll out video coverage in the days ahead!
The Partnerships Forum commenced with a high-level panel that will set the stage for the day's discussion. The panel addressed the issue of localization of global development and how all stakeholders are changing the way they do business.
10:00 AM UTC: Local partnerships are not just the future, they are the present of international development. But how do organizations find their local partners and what will come out of this strategy in 10 years?

11:15 AM UTC: At this morning's session on cultivating sustainable partnerships, a consensus emerged that mutually beneficial engagement — not one-sided capacity building — should underpin how international groups work with their local partners. Panelist Robin Bush pointed out that international groups and their local partners have very different but nonetheless complementary strengths and advantages. For international groups, those include best practice models, relationships with donors, and financial and management capacity. Local organizations, meanwhile, can leverage their on-the-ground knowledge and ties to local stakeholders.

11:20 AM UTC: The private sector sees a lot of opportunities to work in climate change mitigation and adaptation activities in the Philippines, but it wants more tax incentives, government transparency, intellectual property protection and effective market analysis, said Glen Anderson, senior climate change expert at Engility, during a panel discussion on the role of public-private partnerships in addressing climate change. But for projects to be sustainable, government and businesses should look for "community champions," Engility's Diwata de Castro-Paredes stressed.
11: 30 AM UTC: According to Joseph Foltz, acting director of the Office of Environment, Energy & Climate Change at USAID Philippines, partners can avoid many potential risks and conflicts during the upfront negotiation of a public-private partnership. Having a strong sense of who your partner is — either through a rigorous due diligence process or the trust that has been built in a previous relationship — is the most important starting point, he said. There is also a delicate balance to strike between being overly legalistic, and being flexible to be resilient to the changes that are bound to happen over years of partnership.

1:00 PM UTC: Everybody is hoping to foster inclusive growth in Mindanao, but Amina Rasul-Bernardo, president of the Philippine Center for Islam and Democracy, emphasized that certain pressing issues — particularly lack of education and illiteracy — have to be addressed immediately if economic development is to be inclusive when businesses and investments come pouring into the Bangsamoro region.
1:30 PM UTC: If donors want their funds to have an impact in Mindanao, Amina Rasul-Bernardo, president of the Philippine Center for Islam and Democracy, believes they should take into account what the Bangsamoro people need and want instead of focusing on what the central government in Manila think they want. There are currently three urgent needs that have to be met in Mindanao — access to water, power and education, she said.

2:00 PM UTC: Social entrepreneurship has been gaining traction as a new way to do both business and development. Panelists at the social enterprise workshop agreed that challenges remain in supporting social entrepreneurship, including the lack of a conducive business climate and streamlined processes in countries as well as the overwhelming focus on ideas. While CSR is a part of doing business, social entrepreneurship is a way of doing business that is socially conscious and more inclusive, explained RTI International Asia Director. Development partners could address these challenges by instituting appropriate policies and focusing on the people working on social entrepreneurship.

3:30 PM UTC: David Sutherland, chairman of the board of the International Care Ministries, began his presentation by emphasizing the importance of putting a face into the discussion on poverty to understand how poor people really live. "Events like this tend to be dehumanized," he said. "We don't want to leave the human face out of the conversation."
ICM recipients, whose stories and photos Sutherland shared with the audience, are from the ultrapoor — or those who live on less than $1.25 a day. The ultrapoor also have a day-to-day mindset. This means that the foremost challenge is to instill hope in them, according to Sutherland. This should come before teaching them how to be more entrepreneurial, for example.
On how NGOs could scale up, Sutherland said that they could take a cue from business and consider four things: market analysis, strategy, innovation and past performance. Someone from the audience also asked about how ICM, which was founded in 1992, decided that it was time to expand its scale.
"The skill set needed to start an NGO is not necessarily the one needed to scale it up," Sutherland said, adding that this is one of the biggest issues for NGOs. "But we've tried to work very hard with the founder."
The result is an organization that has grown to serve more than 100,000 Filipinos.

3:00 PM UTC: NGOs and the private sector are helping fill the gaps health workers face in several developing countries in Asia where health systems are weak. But these partnerships need careful discussions. World Vision expert Kyi Minn, who is based in Myanmar, called on institutions to "negotiate the non-negotiable." Allen Salvatierra from a municipality in Agusan Del Sur, Philippines, meanwhile, suggested that institutions engaged in partnerships negotiations put an agreement on paper so that they have a clear understanding of responsibilities and can be held accountable on their commitments.

How to Start a Driving School Business
Perhaps you are an experienced driver and you wish to start teaching others to drive as well you do. However, you do not know how to lay the foundation for your own driving school.
If that is so, then you need not worry anymore because this article will show you the steps for establishing your own driving school business.
Secure a License
The first thing you need when you plan to start a driving school business is a license. This license is available from the state government agency in charge.
The license has several requirements to fulfill. First, your startup driving school business must be registered. This is to ensure that the planned name for your venture has no duplicate. So, before you apply for a license, secure an approval for your business name and have it registered.
Next, you have to make sure that your instructors have ample experience and have the proper documentation. He/she must have a valid driving school instructor's certificate. He must have also logged at least 1,000 hours of driving experience – this requires the proper documents too, and of course, he must have a valid driver's license. You would also need to provide the agency with drafts of the receipt and contracts that you would be using for your customers.
After submitting your application, the agency would conduct an inspection of your school's location. If your school passes, this inspection, you would need to pay a license fee. The fee would typically cost about US$50 or even lower, as the fee is prorated.

Secure Your Equipment
After you have taken care of your license, you would then need to get a hold of your teaching equipment. This would include the cars that you would be using, the computers that you would be using for data entry and for classroom usage.
The number of cars that you would need to buy would depend on how many you expect your students to be. You would need to have one car ready for each student during a session. You should also get the latest models, and both automatic and manual transmission vehicles. Keep in mind that you would have to replace these cars after every few years because car technology evolves at a rapid rate.
Most car driving schools nowadays make use of computer simulators for their classes, even though they are no substitutes for the actual driving experience as a teacher. You would want to get your hands on these machines too to ensure you are not left behind the competition.
Work up a schedule for courses. To attract as much customers as possible, provide your customers the flexibility to make their own schedules. This is because there are different schedules that fit every individual. For example a working individual may only be able to attend your courses during his vacant hours, which usually are in the evening or noon.

The Merry Cemetery of Săpânţa is a rather unusual attraction. It is a church graveyard exuberantly coloured, famous for the painted wooden crosses engraved with witty epitaphs for the deceased. The satirical poems are written in vibrant colours (yellow, red, white and green) on an already famous blue background, called "Săpânța blue".
The idea belonged to the master woodcarver Stan Ion Pătraş, whose work is nowadays continued by his apprentice, Dumitru Pop Tincu. Pătraş sculpted the first epitaph in 1935 and since 1960 more than 800 crosses came out from the hands of the two craftsmen. It thus became a unique open air museum and a touristic attraction for people from all around the world.
The vividly coloured illustrations are related to the deceased, naive pictures depicting scenes from their lives or their occupations, from spinning wool, weaving carpets and making bread to cutting wood, ploughing the field or herding the sheep. Some of the crosses are painted on both sides. On one side there is written a description of the deceased's life, and on the other a description of the reason of death. There are also short poems and verses humorously depicting the deceased. Every cross tells a different story, funny and bitter at the same time. One example is: "Who sought money to amass, could not Death escape, alas".
The novelty of this cemetery is the difference from the cemeteries belonging to other cultures, which consider death as a tragic and very solemn event. Sometimes, the distinctive character of this cemetery was connected to the Dacian culture. Their philosophy was based on immortality and the belief that death was a reason of joy, as the respective person went to a better world where he would meet Zamolxis, the supreme divinity.

Abstract: 5H-benzo[h]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline scaffold is known to have an antitumor effect on certain types of malignancies; however, its effect on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. Previously, we reported p-toluenesulfonic acid-promoted syntheses, molecular modeling and in vitro antitumor activity of 5H-benzo[h]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline against human hepatoma (Hep-G2) cells where compounds 4A and 6A were found to be potent inhibitors among the series. In continuation to our previous effort to develop novel therapeutic strategies for HCC treatment, here we investigated the in vivo antitumor activity and the mechanism underlying the effects of 4A and 6A in N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA)-induced HCC using male Wistar rats. NDEA was administered weekly intraperitoneally at a dose of 100 mg/kg for 6 weeks. Various physiological and morphological changes, oxidative parameters, liver marker enzymes and cytokines were assessed to evaluate the antitumor effect of 4A and 6A. In addition, proton nuclear magnetic resonance-based serum metabolomics were performed to analyze the effects of 4A and 6A against HCC-induced metabolic alterations. Significant tumor incidences with an imbalance in carcinogen metabolizing enzymes and cellular redox status were observed in carcinogenic rats. Tumor inhibitory effects of 4A and 6A were noted by histopathology and biochemical profiles in NDEA-induced hepatic cancer. Compounds 4A and 6A had a potential role in normalizing the elevated levels of inflammatory mediators such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-2, IL-6 and IL-10. At molecular level, the real-time quantitative reverse-transcribed polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that 4A and 6A attenuated the IL-6 gene overexpression in hepatic cancer. Further, orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis scores plot demonstrated a significant separation of 4A and 6A-treated groups from carcinogen control group. Both the compounds have potential to restore the imbalanced metabolites due to HCC, signifying promising hepatoprotective activities. All these findings suggested that 4A and 6A could be potential drug candidates to treat HCC.
Keywords: 5H-benzo[h]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazoline, N-nitrosodiethylamine, NDEA, hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC, interleukins, 1H-NMR based metabolomics

Wisdom is the culmination of experience, knowledge, and judgment gained through the action of making choices. The most important type of wisdom is the type we gain for ourselves in which we use to make our decisions. Even if we ask another for their wisdom, we still have the liberty to choose whether or not we will incorporate it into our critical thinking and decision making process skills. Weighing and measuring the informational wisdom we get from another or various sources is wisdom in and of itself.
Conventional wisdom is undesirable in most cases because it is meant to be used in a general sense. It becomes undesirable when making important personal decisions. However, notable wisdom is somewhat different. Notable also means to be remarkable or significant. This means that to be considered notable the source or entity holds considerable weight and importance. Also, this means that among all the conventional wisdom that we are bombarded with, something that is notable stands out to us as an individual, a society, or group.
Putting the meanings of the words notable and wisdom together we get, remarkable or significant experience, knowledge, and judgment. Where can we get notable wisdom and what does it look and sound like? There is always a good and bad side to everything and sometimes in between or a grey area. However, while on the search for notable wisdom it depends on what you intend to do with this type of wisdom. If you are the type of person that is honestly seeking positive guidance and direction in order to make a decision, such as explained in my previous blog "Conventional Wisdom", then you are looking for notable wisdom that will make a positive impact on your decisions. You intend to make a difference or change for the betterment of either yourself or other people.
Notable wisdom can be from either a news source, literature, or a person all possessing remarkable or significant experience, knowledge, and judgment. If a person intends to make a positive impact and difference on either themselves or other people then they will seek to get their notable wisdom from like minded or similar sources. One specific of the opposite would be to look for negative notable wisdom so that a person can compare and contrast as to what they do not want or to draw attention so that they might educate and raise awareness to unsuspecting people, friends, or family.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." Thus, in order to be true to yourself as an individual it would be wise indeed to seek, experiment, and test, notable wisdom. However, even this is not enough. After you have went through this process of seeking, experimenting, and then testing the notable wisdom you have obtained you must ask am I convinced or is this convincing enough? This question, that a person should ask themselves, means that they should gather notable wisdom information from more than one source, including the negative sources. Going through the process of sifting through and conducting critical thinking enables a person to draw conclusions that they might find something that is succinct or clear to them as an individual.
After a person has gone through these various processes they can conclude to themselves that the source is credible. If they deem that the source is credible then they need to go through the process of seeing if what they have identified meshes with their values and morals. However, to a person as an individual, when morals and values are brought into the evaluation process the credible source might not be solidified enough to be convincing. That is why a summation approach needs to be used.
We seek to be ourselves or else we are not.

I Am Al's Lymphoma
More specifically, I am Al's Primary Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma. Also known as Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma. Or, you could just call me Cancer. You're better off not calling me at all.
Al is fortunate to have me. Really. There are many types of vicious lymphoma more aggressive than myself. For instance, NK T-Cell Lymphoma. The NK stands for Natural Killer. No kidding. Don't get me wrong, I'm no wimp-phoma. While I usually affect the skin only, in one in ten people, I will progress further to the lymph nodes and/or internal organs, with serious complications.
I am often described as non-aggressive, indolent, and slow-growing. I personally find this insulting, but what can I do? I can do my best to ruin Al's day, maybe even ruin Al. Goals.
So, where did I come from? Who can say? Theories abound. I do know this.
Al has ulcerative colitis. (See "I Am Al's Ulcerative Colitis.") For the past several years, he has been treated intravenously with an immunosuppressive drug every 8 weeks. He sits in an infusion therapy room with other patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. There is some irony in the fact that he is sitting there having a drug infused that allowed me, a form of cancer to exist.
In November, I manifested myself as an anonymous sore. My way of saying "Hello." Just an angry purplish bump on Al's upper thigh; more specifically, his right inguinal area. "Inguinal" is a nice way of saying "groin."
My location causes Al to have to drop his trousers for every physician that wants to have a look at me. I laugh each time. I know it isn't nice, but neither am I.
Because Al is susceptible to staph infections (See "I Am Al's Staph Infection"), it is suspected that this is my identity. However, the prescribed antibiotics that worked on staph infections don't work on me at all. If anything, I have become angrier, bumpier, more purplish. The primary care physician refuses to see me any longer, and refers Al to see a dermatologist.
Truthfully, I had manifested myself much earlier in Al in the form of fatigue. To power myself up, I've been stealing energy from Al. As a result, he's been exhausted, lethargic, and quite adept at taking naps for quite some time now.
November 22. "Drop 'em," (or something to that effect) says Dr. Wilson, the dermatologist, "let's have a look." She stares at me curiously, as does her assistant. I enjoy the attention; Al, not so much. The doctor is doubtful that I am a staph infection. Nonetheless, the decision is made to cut me open and look at my insides. There's not much to look at, and nothing to squeeze out, though not for want of trying. I might be indolent, lazy, and slow-moving, but I am one badass mass. "This is probably scar tissue," the doctor decides…. And so…back comes the scalpel. The physician cuts part of me away to run cultures on and sews Al's leg back up. Doesn't bother me so much, like I said, I'm tough. Al's a tough guy too, two days later he's out on a hike in the mountains. He is grimacing a bit; I enjoy that. For the next few days, Al keeps busy while waiting to hear some innocuous results on me.
December 8. D-Day. Diagnosis time. Al calls the doctor's office to check on his biopsy results. The nurse says, "Can you come in this afternoon?" This seems a little bit odd to Al, and I sense that he's a little bit worried. Up until now he's always been given the "all-clear" on his bloodwork and other tests by phone, not in person. Off to see the dermatologist again. Today, Dr. Wilson appears to be at somewhat of a loss. Nonetheless, she gets right to the point. "These are not the results we expected," she says more than once. She thrusts the lab report at Al, as if to show him that she isn't making this up, and reads from her copy:
"Both the routine histology and the immunophenotype are consistent with a T-cell lymphoma… the findings are more concerning for a systemic lymphoma.." Al is listening, but not completely. He doesn't entirely comprehend what he's being told, either. "Do I have cancer?" he wonders. He's afraid to ask. Rightly so. Yes, Al, you have cancer of your white blood cells.
The dermatology office will now be calling the oncologist (specialist on malignant neoplasms, aka Cancer) to schedule an appointment for Al. Before we all part ways, Dr. Wilson pulls the stitches out of me. "Is there anything else we can do for you?" the doctor asks. No, Al thinks, you've done enough. He thanks the doctor, smiling tightly at the ridiculousness of doing so.
Thus far, nobody is using the word "cancer" when referring to me. Still, saying the word "lymphoma" (don't shout it in an airport) seems to make everyone move a little more quickly and to schedule Al's appointments and tests a little bit sooner. They call me indolent? Ha! I'm getting these folks moving, aren't I?
And so, December 16th, it is time for Al and I to see Dr. Locke, the Oncologist. The office staff runs some blood tests. The doctor explains that he'd like to see if I have reached Al's bone marrow. He will do a bone marrow biopsy right there in his office, right now. Uh oh.
I don't even feel the bone marrow biopsy. For Al, though, it is a different story. The procedure is performed by forcefully inserting a syringe in the back of Al's hip ("A little sting, here…" Dr. Locke said. He really did!) and then forcing the needle all the way into the bone. The doctor really leans his weight into it, remarking, "You have good strong bones." After his compliment, Dr. Locke bears down with such force that it brings tears to the nurse's eyes. Al is holding onto the table for dear life. Even after the doctor is finally finished, Al has his teeth clenched, and fingers clenched tightly to the sides of the table. Maybe the good doctor should have given him a bullet to bite. Or a shot of whiskey.
Dr. Locke explains that he doesn't expect to see any signs of me in Al's blood or his bone marrow, being that I'm primarily cutaneous. However, as he says, T-cells are "Travelers," (I have so many names!) and as such, I could show up other places. The plan is to radiate my area of origin (Al's inguinal area) after performing a PET scan to see where else I might be hiding. Al agrees to the treatment plan.
It's pretty clear that Al and I are not going to be friends. He is determined to kill me. I have the same intentions regarding him. As the scorpion says in the ancient fable, "It's in my nature." As long as it isn't too much work. I yawn lazily.
Dec 21: Today is the day for Al's PET scan. Al says that he doesn't have any pets, and in fact, his plant died. The technicians smile dutifully. PET is an acronym for Positron Emission Tomography. Here's basically how it is explained: Al will be injected with fluorodeoxyglucose, which is a sugar and a short-lived radioactive tracer isotope. Cells like to absorb sugar, especially cancer cells. Because Al hasn't eaten anything for at least 12 hours, he is cranky, and his cells are hungry, so they eagerly uptake the radioactive (but not dangerous) solution. This process takes about an hour. That works out well; I am ready for a nap, and so is Al. While we nap, my cells will uptake a greater amount of the solution than normAl, non-cancerous cells will. And so, when it is time, Al is passed back and forth through an imaging device, which will leave me positively glowing! Then, they take a look to see if they can find me. They do. They also find two small stones in Al's left kidney. (See "I Am Al's Kidney Stones.") The final impression of the PET scan reads like this: "Minimal uptake in the skin right inguinal region at the level of the hip likely corresponds to the patient's biopsy site. Correlation with pathology findings… this may represent the patient's primary lymphoma. No other areas of abnormal uptake demonstrated; specifically no lymph node uptake is demonstrated." So, for now, I am confined to the right side of Al's groin, which is where they plan to radiate. Good news for Al, but not-so-good for me. We shall see.
Later the same day, it's time for Al and I to meet the radiologist. I'm as tired of being stared at as Al is of dropping his pants. The radiologist looks at me with recognition. He's seen my type before, and he's Also seen the PET scan results, and so decides against a systemic treatment. He is confident that hitting me with orthovoltage radiation in a localized area a few times, okay, twelve times, will take care of me. The radiologist's nursing staff (stop staring at me!) draw a purple oval on Al's thigh so that the equipment can be aligned to focus the radiation in the exact same spot each time Al comes in for treatment. They give Al specific instructions to avoid using lotions on, excessively washing, or scrubbing the area, as the marking is important and needs to stay on. It will be a week before the radiation starts. "DON'T wash the marking off," they remind him again as he leaves. By the next day, the purple oval is already beginning to wear off. Al draws it back on with a Sharpie.
December 28: Radiology Day One. Al is upbeat when he shows up at the radiation department, but he isn't quite sure what to expect. As a result, like myself, he's a little bit nervous. He jokes to himself in the radiology waiting area that the magazines on display, "Borrowed Time" are a bad sign. After waiting 40 minutes and watching other radiation patients go out of the waiting room, Al is beginning to get a little antsy. How long will all of this take? Did he check in correctly? Does anyone know he's here? Finally, he's caled back. He's on the board for "Superficial Treatment." Is that another insult to me?
Now it's time for pants-on-the-ground again. It's also time for what I'll call "Introduction To Bodypainting." The radiology nurse uses a paint marker to trace out a fresh, more permanent, purple oval on Al's thigh. It's not the worst mark he'll end up with. A lead template is placed around the oval, and the equipment, that is to say, the orthovoltage unit is maneuvered into place. Everyone (except Al and I) leaves the room. Two minutes later, they are back. "You're done," they say. That wasn't bad at all. Neither of us felt a thing. All that waiting, for just mere seconds of treatment. I think I will be able to hack this thing they call radiotherapy, or radiation therapy. Everyone is quite pleasant. I might even like them, if I didn't know that they are trying to kill me. "We'll see you tomorrow," they say, this time not bothering to remind Al not to scrub the mark off his leg.
After the first few treatments, I can't tell a difference. Al can't feel anything either, even though he is starting to get a pink oval on his leg. I am, however, starting to work at Al, as much as I loathe working. I'm starting to get inside his head. Not literally. I'm doing my best to psych him out. Every itch, every blotch he gets on his skin now, even the tiniest red spot, he automatically thinks of me. As the days go by, he can't tell for sure if he has begun to feel the effects of the radiation or not. Sometimes he thinks his leg hurts; other times he thinks he's imagining it. I have noticed that he's walking with a limp a lot of the time. I'm not too fazed yet, but there are several more treatments scheduled for us.
And so, each day, excepting weekends, Al and I go and have our radiation therapy. Al leaves on his lunch break and heads in to the hospital. The wait is usually very short, and the radiation continues to take only minutes. Al is back to work afterwards in no time at all. 12 treatments later, we are done. Al gets a certificate of completion for his efforts to kill me. I'm feeling more tired than usual. So is Al. He takes a lot of naps. I don't mind, I like naps. The radiation has left me weak.
When we see the oncologist a week later, he declares victory. He doesn't even feel the need to look at any other areas of concern to Al. "Unless you have a lesion that becomes a tumor, gets biopsied, and diagnosed as lymphoma, we have nothing to do… but wait." This is how to deal with a non-aggressive, indolent, slow-grower like myself. For now, he reiterates that I am defeated. I'm not, though. I'm just tired. Already a couple other spots are forming, as the experts expect will continue to happen in the years to come. The radiologist has Already told Al that he will most likely be seeing Al "each year or so, with a spot here or there, and we'll take care of it."
I find all this writing too much work. It's tiresome. I'm finished for now. You should see Al, though. He's really feeling it. He has a tennis ball-sized red burn on his thigh, well, his inguinal area, with a painful raw blister in the center. I left my mark for now. I like what the oncologist said: "I don't trust lymphoma." He shouldn't. I will be back. Whenever I get around to it.
I wish Al the worst. It's in my nature.

What influence did the Suez Crisis have on British decolonisation 1956-64?
Extracts from this document...
What influence did the Suez Crisis have on British decolonisation 1956-64? The Suez Crisis of 1956 played a large in British decolonisation of the Empire between the period of 1956-64. The crisis and its effects, upset British confidence and prestige; however, the Crisis was not the single cause of the demise of the British Empire. The military action at the Suez Canal in 1956 can be seen as a success, as the British achieved their aim of driving the Egyptians out of the Suez Canal. However, the war was a diplomatic disaster. Britain was seen as the aggressor and also fallible. It led to a worldwide outcry and Britain was openly criticised by the USA and President Eisenhower. It seemed to the Empire that Britain was incapable of conducting a foreign policy independently of the USA. ...read more.
The poor state of the economy can be seen by the desperate need for American aid and the rationing, which was still in place in the 1950s. Education improved in these countries, as did the desire for independence, especially after soldiers from the Empire fought side by side with British soldiers in the two world wars. Due to Britain's desperation for allies during World War Two, in exchange for the sending of soldiers from the Empire, they agreed that independence would be granted after the war because the politicians of the colonies argued that if they were good enough to fight and die alongside British soldiers, they deserved their independence. Therefore, it can be seen that decolonisation was being thought and planned well before the Suez Crisis. ...read more.
opposed to the idea of Empire, it may have been necessary to simply sacrifice our empire for the sake of the "special relationship". MacMillan's "wind of change" speech in February 1960 was seen by some as a sign to British colonies in Africa that independence was available. This could be seen as an attempt by MacMillan to improve Anglo-American relations ruined by the Suez Crisis, by giving up her Empire. It can be seen that Suez was a very important factor in Britain's rapid decolonisation between 1956 and 1964, and it was the cause of many spin-offs factors. However, it was not the sole reason with the rising nationalism and violence attributed with it, the Empire's failure to generate enough profit and the state of the British economy following the huge expenditure of the war effort.

Fergus recommends: "This record kept me on my toes constantly, hurtling along one moment, then slowing down just long enough for me to take in the enormity of it all before everything crashes back into motion"
a whirling, proggy and tremendously exciting set full of boundless energy and dense sci-fi synths – this lot will please everyone from soft machine diehards to mars volta fans.
loud, abrasive and unapologetic in its approach and execution, this record is a cacophonous explosion that's impossible to ignore. "surely one of the greatest albums of 2017… a twenty nine minute surge of tracks that it would be a crime to split apart. It's a two black Americano experience that makes me wish I still had pin-sharp hearing to lose" - Stewart Lee.

Getting busted masturbating by someone close to you, doing favours for the mob, and practicing in a shitty jam space. What do all these things have in common? They're topics covered by pop-punk rockers Amber Lamps.
Based out of Astoria, New York, these cats have been kicking it since 2009. They're a three-piece that are bringing pop-punk back to its roots. They're not doing anything ground-breaking on this album, but I love them more for that. The crafting of the songs are basic, but HOLY FUCKING SHIT ARE THEY CATCHY! After giving this album a solitary listen earlier in the week, I continuously caught myself humming or singing "Bitter Ride" at different points in my day; after all, isn't a catchy hook the best part about writing an anthem?
Now, let's get into the nitty gritty of their debut album, Plaidypuss.
First off, the vocal melodies are great. Done by both Brian Greene and Eddie James, they're picture perfect in every sense of the phrase. The hook in "On The Radio" is a great example of this. The main melody is simple, but that extra fifth note added by the back ups pushes it up into memorable.
The guitar work is solid for adding attention to the dynamics of the songs. When you feel that there should be palm mutes, BAM! They're there. When the songs cut loose, everything is open in a hammering, down-picking fury. However my favourite part of Brian Greene's guitar work is the simple yet immensely effective melody in "Another Lie." Starting at 1:03, during the second verse, he does a little guitar lick that will have you rethinking anything you've ever created as a musician. Simple, effective, and absolutely slaying, it's everything a good riff should be.
Next, that bass tone. I don't know the specific gear that Eddie James Ajay is running through, but I want all listeners to take note. Replicate this sound. Do it until people are sick of it, and then remember where it came from. It's gritty and resonates enough through the pop-punk to make you forget that you're listening to something Green Day could have come up with during their heyday.
Lastly, for the positive stuff anyway, is the vocal range on Greene. "James" is a great example of this. He's able to croon his way into your heart with his lower range during the opening two minutes. Then, when 2:33 hits, he jacks his voice up an octave with enough force to give you splinters on your soul. Not to mention that stunning outro scream to end the album during "Legacy."
Now it's time for why this album didn't score a 10 outta 10. First, it is pop-punk, and while I extolled the virtues above about why I like that they don't break the mould, it's nothing that you've not heard many times before. Second, I prefer the band's tongue-in-cheek approach to the lyrics during the first few songs. Suddenly however, it gets dark and serious. To me, it played with the flow more than it should have. The songwriting was always great, but I went from feeling happy and upbeat to downtrodden. It was not a shift that I expected, nor enjoyed.
Finally, if you think you might dig these cats, they're playing a show on the 19th of March at Halyards in Brooklyn. This link will give you all the details. I implore you to check 'em out and let me know if their live show lives up to the album in the comments section below. I look forward to hearing from y'all.
