There has long been much debate as to precisely who qualifies to be deemed worthy of being considered a bona-fide part of the Nouvelle Vague. Some take a freewheeling approach, and are accepting of any number of individuals, from Louis Malle and Agnes Varda, to Jean-Pierre Melville, Jean Rouch and Roger Vadim. In the period roughly defined as that of the New Wave, which is in itself debatable, with some arguing for any number of combinations of dates between 1958 and 1968, over 120 films were made in France befitting the manner that many would closely associate with the New Wave; innovative methods of funding, location shoots, non-professional actors, light camera rigs and naturalistic lighting. Militancy rules in our own definition though, with the core handful the only "true" members of the movement: the Cahiers du Cinéma film critics turned filmmakers. The focus on the 'Cahiers Five' is itself problematic, in so much as though the 'Cahiers Five' are limited to that very number. What of the seemingly ignored Jacques Doniol-Valcroze, a founding editor of Cahiers du Cinéma before working as a filmmaker, only to be forgotten by large sections of the critical and historical community of the 21st Century? Or other figures in a similar position? The nature of legacy is an unusual phenomenon. For the purposes of this article we'll be referring to the films of five filmmakers; Claude Chabrol, Jean-Luc Godard, Jacques Rivette, Eric Rohmer and François Truffaut.
In their criticism for Cahiers du Cinéma, the ciné-journal founded in 1951 by André Bazin, Jacques Doniol-Valcroze and Joseph-Marie Lo Duca a group of writers upon whom the nickname the "Young Turks" was bestowed brought to the fore the notion that a filmmaker could be considered a great artist, and an author of a work (an auteur). While it was the writers of the Cahier du Cinéma were the ones to overtly celebrate it, the notion of the cinema as art was one which stretched back far within the French cinema itself. From the early days of the country's film industry there existed an artist/writer/filmmaker fusion. See, for example, the work of Jean Cocteau, the writer-turned-formidable-figure-of-the-cinema, or Salvador Dali's work with Luis Buñuel in the early 1930s. The stage was accepting of cross-arts collaboration, and, perhaps most importantly (and arguably separating it from the American film industry) encouraged such merging. Ricciotto Canudo declared the cinema to be "The Seventh Art", while Jean-Luc Godard would write some 30 years later that "Robert Bresson is to French film what Dostoevsky is to the Russian novel" and "what Mozart is to German music" (This moment would later be echoed in comments made by Susan Sontag in which Godard was compared to Picasso).
The traditional path to filmmaking in the French movie industry involved a person serving an apprenticeship for a production company. Over a period of time they would climb the ladder of the profession, with a lucky few deemed worthy of being a bona-fide filmmaker. Instead of following this order, the filmmakers of the Cahiers du Cinéma went in an altogether different direction, although one that is in many ways as much of an "apprenticeship" as the traditional route. The very nature of the film criticism being produced by the Cahiers group makes for as apt a primer as any number of days on an old-fashioned film set. As Truffaut once joked, in a way it was almost as though they had worked on a number of films even before cameras spun on their debut shorts, through their criticism and analysis, which sought to put things right, even when it was too late to do so on any literal level.
The Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée (CNC) ensured that only those permitted to do so could make films that would receive any kind of real exposure. A movie could only be exported with their permission, and a filmmaker had to apply to the board for a director's card. The relaxing of the CNC was one of the major hurdles for the young aspiring filmmakers of the age, and was almost as big a plight as the more abstract, creative debate that too stood in their way. The French tradition of a cinema of perceived quality was the preferred option of the industry, with films largely based upon classic literature, albeit by filmmakers deemed to be creatively uninteresting by many of the contemporary audiences of the early-1950s. The influence of the international cinema, and specifically that of the United States had begun to really take hold in the years following the German Occupation of the Second World War, which had seen a bottleneck of American movies build up. When Hitler moved on, Howard Hawks and Orson Welles stepped in, and inspired a generation of Gallic moviegoers in to seeking something different from their own national cinema. This troubled the CNC, albeit not as much as the young film critics for whom a resentment of their national cinema was reaching tipping point.
The whole debate is encapsulated in François Truffaut's 1954 essay, Une Certaine Tendance du Cinéma Français (A Certain Tendency Of The French Cinema). Une Certaine Tendance du Cinéma Français was a passionate, unrelenting diatribe on the state of the mainstream French cinema. Truffaut takes no prisoners as he criticises the "Tradition de qualité" school of filmmaking, singling out filmmakers like Claude Autant-Lara for what those involved with the Cahiers du Cinéma deemed to be an unethical approach to cinema. Truffaut and his colleagues at Cahiers would regularly expose the French film industry for the crimes they perceived to have been committed, and strove to overthrow the old guard in the most fitting way possible; from the inside. They strove to make their own films, works that set out to deconstruct and understand the filmic medium in as brilliant and affecting way possible.
In many ways François Truffaut's Les Mistons is the L'arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat of the Nouvelle Vague. As with the Lumiere film, Truffaut's 1957 short is a relatively unassuming feature, but one which the impact of would be felt across the whole spectrum of the medium. While not the first production by the Cahiers critics (Truffaut had already shot a short with Jean-Luc Godard, while both Éric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette had already made shorts themselves), Les Mistons is the first to bear the hallmarks of the works that would follow. An unreal, anatomically-obsessed camera traces the outlines of Truffaut's richly sketched characters, while the form of the picture itself is addressed, with overt, diegetic over-dubbing and the tangible film itself manipulated, with it played at different speeds (and in different directions) to emphasise specific moments of incident. The structurally playful tone anticipates the shape of Truffaut's later The 400 Blowsclearly, and sets the scene for the form shifting sensibilities of Godard's À bout de souffleand Rohmer's The Bakery Girl Of Monceau. The hyper-personal motif for which Truffaut would become to be associated with is first glimpsed here too, with Les Mistons playing like a fond memory being recalled.
While this no doubt serves to further demythologise the immediate landscape of the New Wave, it might be suggested that in many ways Jacques Rivette, Éric Rohmer and Claude Chabrol produced their most important and interesting work outside of the period. While Chabrol may have been the first of the Cahiers du Cinéma crowd to produce a fully fledged feature film, stylistically and tonally his early work is only loosely recognisable as a product of the actual movement. In much the same way that Jean-Pierre Melville and Agnès Varda helped to redefine the financial route and methods of production Chabrol drew the two elements together in a further development of the film industry. Aware of the eagerness of the CNC for the French cinema to rise again on the international landscape, in the wake of a post-World War Two lull next to concentrated efforts from the Italian and Japanese cinema, Chabrol sought to exploit tax loopholes and other related CNC rulings (revolving around unions etc). The resulting popularity of the early films, Le Beau Serge and Les Cousins, and the response abroad dictated that the CNC were ecstatic with the results, which the organization essentially saw to be France's burgeoning international reputation. Alongside exploiting tax allowances, Chabrol also sought funding via other innovative means, including an inheritance bestowed upon his wife and from going to subject appropriate charities: Le Beau Serge deals with a protagonist with an alcohol problem so, naturally, Chabrol sought financial support from alcoholism charities. It was a method that paid off, quite literally, as both Le Beau Serge and Les Cousins were vastly profitable before even reaching audiences. Chabrol's approach paved the way for other aspiring filmmakers to make films; in challenging the CNC's strict rules he set a precedence that could be exploited by others (for example, in the number of union-connected technicians one must employ on a set, immediately, and vastly, reducing the costs of a production).
The films themselves are solid affairs, if not a tad uninspiring. The Vigo award-winning Le Beau Serge plays like a straight Nicholas Ray film, with it's emphasis on the fatalistic, it's most noteworthy element, while the second of the films introduces the playful tone that would come to be considered one of the core ingredients of the Nouvelle Vague. It's intertextually rich, with the two headline performances from Le Beau Serge inverted so that that naïve figure of the earlier film becomes the hardy one in the second, and vice-versa. Such intertextualisation hints at things to come with the New Wave, in which many of the same people appeared across films and directors, in a manner not entirely dissimilar to how the repertoire's of Hollywood old would play.
Jean-Claude Brialy, one of the stars of the two Chabrol features, actually makes for the perfect case study of an actor whose presence can be spotted throughout the New Wave, and the wider French cinema of the period. An anchor of intertextuality, if you will. Brialy appeared in works by all five of the core Cahiers filmmakers, in films such as Rivette's Paris Belongs To Us, Godard's A Woman Is A Woman and Éric Rohmer's Claire's Knee, while he also collaborated with the likes of Agnès Varda, Louis Malle, Roger Vadim, Luis Buñuel, Bertrand Tavernier and Julien Duvivier. Brialy also appears in François Truffaut's The 400 Blows, albeit in a cameo performance, Truffaut's feature debut and the call to arms for a generation.
Truffaut and co. saw the success of The 400 Blows at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival as nothing less than a victory for the revolution on the home ground of the establishment. Truffaut the filmmaker won the Best Director award at Cannes, just 12 months after Truffaut the film critic had been banned from attending the festival. The film amounts to being a dramatised retelling of the director's own youth, with the stark similarities between the two as emotionally distressing as they are creatively neat. Opening with a declaration to André Bazin, the grandmaster of the movement who passed away from leukemia prior to the completion of The 400 Blows, and featuring a path that forms a literal spiral around that most famous of Parisian landscapes the Eiffel Tower, Truffaut's movie takes the familiar and presents it in a different manner to how it had been done so before.
While Truffaut would continue the adventures of his on-screen analogue Antoine Doinel long after the glow of the Nouvelle Vague had faded, in the years following The 400 Blows he continued to push the discourse forward with Shoot The Piano Player, a film which in many ways encapsulates the mood of the time, with it's jazz riffing, post-modern gangster-subverting tale of a wrong man (a narrative hook borrowed from his beloved Hitchcock), and the intimate epic of Jules et Jim.
If Chabrol is the letter of intent, and Truffaut delivered the battle cry, then Jean-Luc Godard sealed the fate of the French cinema.
Godard was Truffaut's greatest companion during this period. In many ways, companion might be an overstatement, with competitor perhaps maybe more appropriate. The two were great friends in the years leading up to the first shots of the New Wave, but as the revolution developed the pair soon drifted apart from one another. The whole situation came to a head with a letter. One might be tempted to declare such a thing as "unassuming", but when one understands that the letter in question ran to 20 pages and several thousand words the weight of the situation gains perspective. In the wake of the release of Truffaut's 1973 film Day For Night Godard declared the film to be a "lie". His outburst provoked the aforementioned letter, from a Truffaut fed up of dealing with what he deemed to be Godard's post-radicalisation hypocrisy. The two would never speak to one another again. In typical fashion, Godard has always maintained the stance that he merely wished to produce a cinematic response to contextualise the accusations he was directing at his former colleague, such was the nature of the man and his relationship with the cinema process.
Where Truffaut drew from the cinema for inspiration and hope, and cited his own life as source material, Godard's own relationship is far more intricate. To Godard everything was the cinema. It is fused to the psyche of the man. It's how he thinks, and how he works. It's this distinction between the pair that explains the divergent paths that the two would take; Truffaut towards a more traditional form of cinema, derided as "bourgeois" by Godard, and the alienating, more experimental and polemical route taken by the latter as the 1960s drew to a close.
Godard's films are visceral, emotional experiences. An increasing emphasis on the cerebral can be plotted should one follow the filmmaker's path chronologically, from the relatively traditional À bout de souffle (within the director's oeuvre) through to his latter-day output, which has proven as divisive and as controversial as any picture produced during the New Wave period.
His À bout de souffle came a year after Truffaut's first strike. Godard's film is an inverted take on the Hollywood gangster film, inspired in equal parts by the movie studios of old (Jean-Paul Belmondo's Michel constantly refers to Humphrey Bogart) and the philosophical questions ensnaring France at the time of production. Jean Seberg, the first of Godard's strong female characters is as great an icon of the era as any other figure, with her Patricia's touting of the "New York Herald Tribune" on the Champs-Élysées perhaps challenged only by Truffaut's final freeze-frame for the title of the Nouvelle Vague's most memorable moment. Over the course of the seven years that would follow Godard would produce no less than 15 remarkable feature films, each one as impressive as the last. With 1967's Weekend Godard would close out this period of his career (and in turn, the wider movement of the Nouvelle Vague itself) with a title-card declaring "Fin de cinéma", the end of cinema. It's a poignant and note perfect final frame of a most important stage of cinematic (r)evolution.

MEI Online: General Minerals Engineering: Conference Reports: 47th Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing
47th Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing
The 47th Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing conference was organized by the Mineral Processing Group of the Wroclaw University of Technology and other institutions. It took place in Witaszyce, a small town located between Wroclaw and Poznan, on September 20-22, 2010. The topics of the conference presentations included all aspects of mineral processing. The mostinteresting presentations dealt with sulfide mineral and sulfide ores and their processing.
The keynote lecture was delivered by Dr. A. Konieczny, the CEO of the Mineral Processing Plants of KGHM Polska Miedz S.A. He discussed The strategy of development of the company in 2010-2019. In his opinion the new vision of KGHM development is based on 5 pillars: 1. Effectiveness improvement, 2. Development of resources availability, 3. Diversification of income, 4. Regional cooperation and support, and 5. Development of skills and company organization. In the second part of his lecture he discussed the effect of technical, technological and management changes on the effectiveness of copper ore beneficiation at the Ore Enrichment Division of KGHM Polska Miedz S.A.
Dr. Chmielewski from the Hydrometallurgy Group of the Wroclaw University of Technology presented a lecture on Hydrometallurgy in KGHM -limitations, needs and perspective of application. He discussed the reasons of agrowing importance of hydrometallurgical technologies for copper ores andcopper concentrates processing. It was also argued that hydrometallurgical processing of copper ores represents an alternative for smelting in the case ofunfavorable mineral composition of the copper ores and due to present low prices of sulphuric acid. He showed that difficult-to-float ores provide copper concentrates of decreased copper and accompanying metals recovery as well as ofreduced quality. He described in details the benefits of atmospheric and pressure leaching of copper ores and concentrates in oxygenated sulphuric acid solutionsand in the presence of iron(III) ions.
Dr. Forsen, in the presentation prepared by M. Lundstram, J. Aromaa, and O. Forsen, showed their microscopic and XRD investigations on products formedduring leaching of chalcopyrite in copper(I) chloride solutions. Their studyshowed that the surface product layers were similar to those in theHydroCopper® process and that at pH =1 elemental sulfur was the prevailingspecies while at pH 2 to 3 the reaction product layer consisted mainly of FeOOH.The presentation was illustrated with high quality colorful photographs.
There were about 69 participants of the Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing conference from Poland and several from other countries.Selected works presented at the conference were peer-reviewed and published in the Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing journal (annual) which is available free of charge at www.minproc.pwr.wroc.pl/journal.

Pemex resumes production at Abkatun platform
Pemex has informed that after a fire that occurred on the Abkatun Alpha platform, in the Bay of Campeche in Mexico last week, the company restarted production in the Abkatun central processing platform.
On April 1, 2015, the incident on Abkatun Alpha platform spurred evacuation of 301 workers and caused the deaths of four. On April 2, the fire was extinguished and according to the company there was no oil spill into the sea.
Pemex identified four workers killed in the Abkatun Alpha platform fire outbreak; however, three workers are still missing, two employed by Cotemar and one by Pemex.
According to Pemex, it is possible for the platform to reach this week 80% of the production it had before the incident since the platform is structurally under conditions to restore its operations.
At the press conference held yesterday (April 5) in Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche, Gustavo Hernandez Garcia, Director General of PEMEX Exploration & Production (PEP) said that internal protocols on the platform allowed timely and rapid evacuation of 301 workers with the support of 10 ships and 28 helicopters, "avoiding a tragedy of major proportions".
He also said that the search is continuing for the three missing workers. The investigation to determine the cause of the fire is underway.

Pool Contractor Jesse Escalera
Newport Beach, CA
Pool contractor Jesse Escalera takes the ordinary and elevates it to extraordinary. No dream is too big, he can make it happen.
Pool Contractor Newport Beach
Swimming pools are a central area of relaxation and play. Here are a few reasons Jesse Escalera is your pool contractor Newport Beach for your swimming pool of dreams.
The permitting process can be both time-consuming and extremely complicated when you're not familiar with it. Many homeowners make the mistake of overlooking the process of obtaining the appropriate building permits and end up with hefty fines that could've been avoided. A professional pool contractor knows the specific permits required and how to get them as quickly as possible for different cities. You can avoid significant delay and cost when you allow a professional to complete the permitting process for you.
Not only are there many building codes for you to be aware of; some cities actually require pool construction to be completed by a licensed pool contractor. Again, you can receive heavy fines or be forced to abandon your project if you're not aware of proper building codes and regulations. It's also important to have the pool built to code by a professional for safety's sake. A lot of mistakes can occur in a DIY job simply because a homeowner wasn't aware of how to build the pool according to regulations.
There are a lot of components to build a pool. All of these components put together require a major time commitment. It can be difficult to find the tools and personnel necessary to complete all these tasks if you're unfamiliar with the construction process. Most people don't have the time necessary to get the job done because of work, family, and other time constraints. The pool will get built much more quickly when you hire a pool contractor. Jesse Escalera has the staff and subcontractors who are familiar with the entire process.
A very common problem with DIY projects is that they often end up costing more money in the long run. There are unexpected materials, tools, and manpower. In addition, mistakes are often made that require the help of a professional to rectify. In most cases it's better financially to hire a professional because mistakes can often end up costing more.
The most important aspect of a beautiful pool are the details that are added at the end of the construction process. Most details require experience and training. You're sure to have a better end result when you leave these finishing touches to the professionals.
For your exciting new design contact Jesse Escalera pool contractor Newport Beach.

Posts for tag: colon cancer
If your parents, siblings, or kids have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer, it's important for you to be screened- regardless of your age.
Recent studies show that first-degree relatives of patients with colorectal cancer or advanced colorectal polyps:
- Are at a higher risk for advanced colorectal polyps and colorectal cancer themselves
- May require more frequent testing or screening
- Should be in close communications with their doctor
What are polyps?
While they typically don't cause symptoms, polyps are growths on the inside walls of the colon that protrude into the colon passageway. Polyps range in size from a small dot to several inches. Men tend to develop them more than women. We know that most colorectal cancers come from polyps. So, if polyps are found and removed before they become cancerous, about 75-90 percent of cases of colorectal cancer can be prevented.
It is possible to experience some signs of polyps, particularly if the polyps are located on the rectum. Some symptoms of colonic polyps to be mindful of include:
- Blood on toilet paper after wiping
- Blood in the stool
- Pain, constipation, or diarrhea that lasts upward of a week
- Nausea and vomiting
These symptoms can point to a number of different causes, so to be sure, it's important to visit your doctor.
Lifestyle Changes and other identifiers:
There are certain conditions and even lifestyle choices that may increase the risk of polyps or colon cancer. These include smoking and overconsumption of red meat (particularly in women).
If you have diabetes, are overweight, or have other bowel diseases like Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or inflammatory bowel disease you may be at higher risk to develop colon cancer.
How Are Polyps Treated?
A colonoscopy is the most effective way to identify and remove polyps. In most cases, colonic polyps are easily removed during a colonoscopy by performing a procedure known as polypectomy. In some cases, larger polyps cannot be removed with the colonoscope, and surgery must be scheduled.
If you have any type of colonic polyps, you will need to follow up with your doctor after removal. The frequency of regular follow up and repeat colonoscopy is determined based on the type and number of polyps you are found to have.
Schedule an appointment
If you need more information about colonic polyps, colon cancer, or to discuss your family history regarding screening, simply request an appointment with GI Associates.
The sobering facts
Once upon a time, young people, women, and other segments of the population could rest easy knowing they were at very low risk for the brutal disease that is colon cancer. Unfortunately, that's no longer the case. Colon cancer isn't just for older males in poor health anymore. Young people, women, and otherwise healthy older men are all at a greater risk for colon cancer than ever before.
- Young Adults: The American Cancer Society recently changed colon cancer screening guidelines from testing beginning at age 50 to testing beginning at 45. This is a step in the right direction, but the rate of colon cancer among much younger adults is on the rise. According to this article, by 2030, colorectal cancer incidence rates will be up 90% in people between ages 20 and 34, and 28% for people between ages 35 and 49.
- African Americans: According to an article in U.S. News & World Report, "African-Americans are more likely to develop colorectal cancer at a younger age and to be at a more advanced stage when diagnosed." There are a lot of socioeconomic factors at play here, including access to care, awareness, and lifestyle.
- Women: Colon cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death for American women. The perception used to be that men get colon cancer and women do not, however this notion is dangerously outdated. The truth is that 1 in 21 men will get colon cancer and 1 in 23 women will develop the disease. Early detection, as expected, is essential.
We encourage everyone, no matter who you are, to take colon cancer seriously and know that it could happen to you. Take this online assessment with your healthcare provider to determine your personal risk.
Did you miss Dr. Benjamin Schneeberger's on-air interview with WSAU host Ben Armstrong on March 4, 2019? You can still listen to it here.
The choice is yours
When it comes to colon cancer, getting screened is an essential part in your wellness plan. The key is to do something and you have screening options.
It is recommended that colon cancer screening start at age 50 for men and women who are at an average risk with no symptoms.
If colorectal cancer runs in your family or you have certain underlying conditions, you may need to get tested before age 50. Talk to your doctor about what is best for you.
Know your options
Colonoscopy is the most common test to detect colon cancer. Other tests include stool DNA tests, flexible sigmoidoscopy, double barium enema, and CT colonography. Based on your personal health history, your doctor can recommend the right test for you.
1. Colonoscopy: This is the only colorectal cancer screening option that both detects and prevents colorectal cancer. Prior to a procedure you complete a bowel preparation process that cleans out the colon to enable your doctor to see the lining of your rectum and colon. During a colonoscopy, your doctor gently inserts a colonoscope, which contains a tiny video camera at its tip, through the rectum into your large intestine. Your doctor examines the lining along the entire length of your large intestine.
If your doctor sees abnormal growths of tissue called polyps, tiny instruments are inserted through the colonoscope to remove them. The tissue samples are sent to a pathologist to evaluate whether they are benign, precancerous or malignant. Screening colonoscopy is recommended every 10 years between 50 and 75 years of age. It may be more frequently based on your findings and risk factors. If you'd like to learn more about what to expect before a colonoscopy, check out our video.
2. Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT): FIT detects hidden blood in the stool, which can indicate the presence of cancer. When a FIT test is positive a colonoscopy is usually recommended. FIT tests are recommended annually for average risk patients, age of 50 and over, with no symptoms.
3. Stool DNA Tests: The stool DNA test looks for abnormal DNA associated with colon cancer or colon polyps. The test also detects hidden blood in the stool, which can indicate the presence of cancer. If a stool DNA test is positive a colonoscopy is usually recommended. The stool DNA test is recommended for average risk patients with no symptoms and is usually recommended every 3-5 years.
The stool DNA test is not recommended for higher risk patients with a personal history of colon polyps or cancer, or who have inflammatory bowel conditions, diarrhea, blood in their urine or stool, bleeding hemorrhoids, rectal bleeding, or are menstruating. It is important to note that colonoscopy performed due to a positive stool DNA test is often classified as a diagnostic service by most payers.
4. CT Colonography (also referred to as virtual colonoscopy): A small tube is placed in the rectum and air is pumped into the colon to inflate the bowel. A special computer program creates both 2-dimensional x-ray pictures and a 3-dimensional view of the inside of the colon and rectum, which lets the doctor look for polyps or cancer. If the test is positive a colonoscopy is usually recommended to remove the growths. Preparation is the same as a colonoscopy. This test may be recommended when completion of a colonoscopy is not possible. It is usually recommended every 5 years.
5. Flexible Sigmoidoscopy: Similar to colonoscopy, this test uses a thin flexible tube with a camera to examine the rectum and left side of the colon. Whereas colonoscopy examines the entire length of the colon, sigmoidoscopy is a partial exam. The preparation is the same as a colonoscopy. When considering colon cancer screening options, flexible sigmoidoscopy is not as complete as a colonoscopy and therefore is not widely recommended for screening purposes. It's typically repeated every 5 years.
6. Double Barium Enema: This is also called a lower GI tract radiography, in which a barium solution and air are introduced into the colon and a series of x-rays are taken of the entire colon and rectum. Double Barium Enema is often performed in combination with a flexible sigmoidoscopy. If the either of these test is positive a colonoscopy is usually recommended.
Early detection of colorectal cancer is crucial and potentially lifesaving. The most important step you can take is to get screened. GI Associates is proud to offer options to our patients so that together we can determine the best plan for you.

8 ways to minimize your risk
Colon Cancer Awareness Month is here. At GI Associates, we are passionate about the prevention and treatment of this potentially deadly disease. Below are eight ways you can minimize your risk of colon cancer:
- Don't Smoke There's nothing that is helped by smoking. You can reduce your risk for almost every kind of cancer when you quit. Find more reasons and help here.
- Drink in Moderation While some alcohol in moderation, like a glass of red wine with dinner, may have some health benefits. Keep in mind it's better for your colon—and the rest of you, if you drink only in moderation.
- Cut Back on Red Meat As with alcohol, a moderate amount of red meat (2-3 servings a week) is just fine. However, studies have shown that a high consumption of red meat can increase your risk of colon cancer by 28%. Save the steak for special occasions.
- Eat Vegetables, Fruits, and Whole Grains Naturally, cutting back on red meat and replacing it with, say, chicken strips will not do you nearly as much good as it will to replace unhealthy foods with the holy trinity of cancer-fighting foods: green veggies, antioxidant-rich fruit, and whole grains.
- Healthy Lifestyle: Exercise Exercise is good for you for many reasons, and one of them is that it reduces your risk of colon and other cancers. In fact, exercise helps fight colon cancer even in those who have the disease.
- Healthy Lifestyle: Weight No surprise here. Even otherwise healthy people who are overweight are at a higher risk for colon cancer.
- Get screened. It's not anyone's favorite thing, but getting regular colonoscopies is the best way to prevent colon cancer. Learn more about them here.
- Know Your Family History If your primary relatives (mother, father, brother or sister or your children) is diagnosed with colon cancer, you are at higher risk. Ask around at your next family gathering to make sure you know your family history.
One of the very few "good things" colon cancer has going for it is that it's preventable. We encourage you to make an appointment to learn more about how to stay free of colon cancer your whole life long.
Colonoscopy: An Important Colon Cancer Screening Procedure
A colonoscopy allows your doctor to examine the lining of your large intestine or colon for any abnormalities. During a colon cancer screening in Wausau, WI, a thin flexible tube is inserted and slowly advances through the GI tract into the rectum and colon. Known as the colonoscope, your doctor can view images on a video monitor with ease. Polyps or abnormal growths in the colon lining may be found that can be removed during this important cancer screening procedure.
Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Known as the silent killer, there are usually no warning signs. At age 50 all adults are urged to get screened.
More about Colon Cancer Screenings in Wausau, WI
For most patients, there is no pain during this procedure. Patients may feel cramping, bloating or pressure after the colonoscopy. If your doctor thinks something needs further evaluation, they may obtain a biopsy and take a sample to be analyzed. After a colon cancer screening in Wausau, WI, one of our board certified gastroenterologists professionals from GI Associates & GI Associates Endoscopy Center will explain the results of your procedure with you. Further information about diet and activities will be given to you too. You will need a ride since you are given a sedative during the procedure, which makes it unsafe for you to drive for the rest of the day. In general, there are few complications associated with a colonoscopy, but bleeding at the site of a polyp or biopsy sample removal is the most common. To schedule this important screening procedure with one of our professionals, call 877-442-7762 today.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 140,000 Americans are diagnosed with colon cancer each year. A cancer diagnosis is a scary thing, no matter how you swing it. However, finding cancer in its early stages means higher treatment success rates.
Generally, individuals with average risk of colon cancer should receive a colon cancer screening at age 50.
Depending on your risk factors, your doctor may recommend that you begin cancer screenings earlier or more frequently.
Signs and Symptoms of Colon Cancer
Often there are no symptoms. That is why colon cancer is often referred to as the silent killer. However, there are signs and symptoms that all adults should take seriously, including:
- blood in the stool
- a significant change in your bowel movements or habits
- changes in the stool's consistency
- rectal bleeding
- unexplained weight loss
- weakness
If you notice any of these symptoms, you should contact your primary care provider.
Diagnosing Colon Cancer
Our Board Certified Gastroenterologists perform a colonoscopy procedure to diagnose and treat early stages of colon cancer. During this procedure a long, flexible tube is inserted through the anus and into the colon to examine the colon and its tissues. Your gastroenterologist can then use miniaturized instruments inserted through the tube to take biopsies or even remove polyps during colonoscopy.
Colon Cancer Treatments in Wausau, WI
Colon cancer treatment varies depending on the cancer's stage. Your doctor may suggest removing early-stage cancerous polyps within the colon using colonoscopy or minimally-invasive surgery. Cancer in its later stages usually requires more invasive surgical techniques to remove the cancerous tissues. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy destroy any cancerous cells left behind after surgery.
For more information on colon cancer or its symptoms, please contact your Gastrointestinal Associates in Wausau, WI. Call (877) 442-7762 to schedule your appointment for a consultation today!

I bought this flavor by mistake and was concerned that my cats wouldn't eat it, but I was so wrong. I have eleven cats and they love it, with some even coming back for seconds.

My cat Grace absolutely loves this food because she loves tomatoes, and other vegetables. The stewed flavor is an added bonus. The other cats agree.
I bought this because it was the only chicken plus choice left on the shelf. My cat ate it, begrudgingly, but pointedly left everything on his plate except the chicken.
Please, Purina, quit experimenting with vegetables. All they are is cheap fillers.

Yes, change is the basic law of nature.
But the changes wrought by the passage of time
affects individuals and institutions in different ways.
According to Darwin's Origin of Species,
it is not the most intellectual of the species that survives;
it is not the strongest that survives;
but the species that survives is the one that is able best to adapt
and adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself.
Applying this theoretical concept to us as individuals,
we can state that the civilization that is able to survive
is the one that is able to adapt to the changing
physical, social, political, moral, and spiritual environment
in which it finds itself.

a mullet
The boy was born in 1899

These are the four children
in his family
He is the oldest son
His father was an immigrant
from Scotland
an architect from Glasgow
His mother died in childbirth
His older sister on the right
I knew very well
my Great Aunt Winnie,
who came with her husband
for afternoon tea many Sundays
of my childhood
I won't tell you
who her husband was
just yet
I am getting ahead of myself
My Grandfather
on the very right
left his hometown
a number of times
during the Depression
to find work
to support his family
This is my father's mother
my Grandmother
who I am told
enjoyed acting
and perhaps that is what
has just occurred here
Nana was born in 1902
near Timaru
in South Canterbury
She was very active in the community
and perhaps her fledgling acting skills
prepared her to make a mark
on the New Zealand political scene
She became the mayor of Timaru
and the President
of the New Zealand Labour Party- Women's Section
and a
member of the New Zealand
Labour Party Executive
In 1948
she applied for a passport
and interestingly
that document
is called a British Passport
for the Dominion of New Zealand
The purpose
in obtaining a passport
was to travel to Paris
with the New Zealand Prime Minister
and other advisors
to attend the Third General Assembly
of the United Nations
The four delegates in this photo
From left to right

When my Grandmother
returned to New Zealand
after three months abroad
she was quite a celebrity
in her home town
and was much in demand
for interviews and meetings
She wrote a series of articles
for the newspaper
which were recorded onto
huge black 98s
and my sisters and I
often liked to pull them out
and put them on the gramophone
to listen to our Nana
in a style and manner
quite unfamiliar to us...
One of the occasions
that she liked to share with us
was the time she spent at tea
with the other women delegates
of the United Nations,
and especially Mrs Franklin. D. Roosevelt
and I nearly forgot
to tell you who Great Aunt Winnie
was married to
Poor Winnifred was a spinster
destined to remain
'on the shelf'
My grandmother had a brother
who had divorced
which was a very rare phenomena
in those times
So my Grandmother
played match maker and
stitched up Great Aunt Winnie
to her brother Frederick
creating a very tight connection
brother and sister
were married
to brother and sister...
Great Aunt Winnie
was stoic...

Julianne Hough Hides Engagement Ring & Flaunts Legs In Denim Shorts — SHOP Her Look
Julianne Hough attended her first public event since getting engaged, and she was hiding her engagement ring the whole time! While we don't know why she did that, we totally love her outfit. You can SHOP for her shorts here.
Julianne Hough, 27, made her first public appearance since her engagement at the Keep Collective and Kind Campaign Collaboration Social on Aug. 25 in LA. While the Dancing With The Stars judge looked absolutely fabulous in tiny denim shorts, we couldn't help but notice that she was hiding her engagement ring! You can SHOP Julianne's denim shorts here.
Julianne and new fiancee, Brooks Laich, 32, were quick to post about their engagement on Instagram, but we have yet to see any ring! It looks like she is just not quite ready, considering she hid her hand during all the photo-ops.
Aside from that, how cute is her outfit? We love that Julianne doesn't try too hard — she throws on a cute, feminine outfit and always looks trendy.
This time, she rocked high-waisted Blank NYC button up denim shorts with a sheer white blouse tucked in and a white lace bra showing. The best part about her look, though, were her accessories. We love her black cross body bag, her long gold key pendant necklace, and her fab Chloe Groove wedges.
We are still a bit confused why Julianne has been hiding her ring — what's to hide?! If anything, you should show it off — do you agree?
What do you guys think of Julianne's outfit — will you SHOP for it?
— Olivia Elgart

Dental implant replacement prices vary greatly from clinic to clinic and country to country.
The difference in prices may be because one treatment is quoted as all-inclusive, while the other doesn't include the cost of tests, examinations or additional procedures.
There are different implant systems, some of which are more expensive than the other. It may also be due to differing quality of materials used, or the experience and training of the dentist.
The quality and cost of materials
Many people believe that a dental implant is a one step process, however, this is not the case. An implant is composed of three different parts. The first part is the implant, preferable made of titanium, which is fused with the bone via surgery. The second part is the abutment, which is joined to the implant, usually with small titanium screws. The third and final part is the crown, which is put on the abutment. One of the best materials for crowns is porcelain fused with metal. When comparing prices, make sure to take a look at the materials used in these specific parts. Most of good quality implants have guarantees, often for the lifetime of the product, so be sure to check this too.
When you compare two different clinics of seemingly similar quality of treatment, but with one offering a significantly lower price don't forget to check the materials used in the implants.
The dentist's payment
The prices can also vary as more experienced dentists will charge a higher fee. These higher costs reflect the training and experience of the dentist, along with their credentials and accreditation. Location of the clinic is also a factor in determining the fees of the dentist: a US-based dentist will charge more than a European-based dentist. This, in itself, is not an indication of quality, but rather a reflection of prevailing economic factors. A less expensive treatment abroad can be equally good.
Laboratory location
Very often the crowns for the dental implants are manufactured in a laboratory outside the clinic, often abroad. Some clinics have in-house laboratories allowing them to charge lower prices, leading to a lower final cost. It is worth asking the clinic whether they produce crowns in-house or outsource their manufacture.
There are many consideration when comparing prices, but you should remember that it is always better to spend a bit more and have peace of mind.

Racism Against Games Enjoyed (R.A.G.E.)
I'm troubled by the amount of game racism that I'm starting to see among a lot of communities of gamers these days. I should probably mention that i'm not talking about black vs. white type of racism but of racism toward game genres. Why can't I enjoy Call of Duty some days? Why can't I like League of Legends instead of Dota and the reasoning behind it isn't because league is easier but simply that I find the game fun? Is it wrong for me to enjoy playing bad games simply because I find them funny or buying every Street Fighter game even though you think they are the same. We now live in a world where gamers are afraid to play and stand up for the games they like because other disgruntled gamers don't like some genre or have some personal vendetta against the developers.
It would really be a pain in the ass if the gaming community turned into fascist Germany and started putting anyone who played Call of Duty for a while in cyber concentration camps. I'm totally not just saying that because I played the game for 3 years. I cringe every time I see some jerk mention that he wont buy a game because it won't have 1 character they wanted in it. I almost sent viruses out to people in the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 forums in the disguise of Starcraft beta codes because I was so angry. Kids bitching about Edo Kages when they could be just playing an amazing and exciting fighting game. The game already has over 80 playable characters, what the fuck more do you want?
Most times i'm convinced these kids bash games because they didn't have any money to buy the game to begin with. You're not fooling anyone BroodKiller22, we know you're 12 and broke. Stop listening to these kids raging and go play games you like. They're the reason devs are scared to take any risks these days since kids are being so critical and picky.
Till next year gamers,

Simon Seville is one of the Chipmunks.
Primeval: New World Version
Alvin and the Chipmunks
The tree that he and his brothers live in is cut down and driven to L.A. They stow away in a basket of muffins being carried by Dave . They are initially thrown out, but manage to earn their way back in by singing. Dave becomes their songwriter, but the trio proves difficult to handle. To make it up to Dave, they go to Ian Hawke and get a deal. They quickly become a worldwide success. Ian lies to them and turns them against Dave at the site of one of the concerts. After a misunderstanding, they go to live with Ian. Hawke overworks them, and refuses to cancel the big concert. When the Chipmunks turn against Ian, he steps on their tails and attempts to put them into a cat carrier. They are rescued at the last second by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Aggravated and Brian Robeson. After the defeat of Ian and his guards, life returns to normal, but Alvin causes a blackout one night.
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel
While showing off, Alvin accidentally causes Dave to be injured in an accident. Aunt Jackie was supposed to watch over them, but she is also injured, and Jackie's grandson Toby is put in care of them. They are sent to school, where they are bullied by jocks, but Alvin defeats them in an Utahraptor morph. They are recruited to perform in a contest to win money for the school music department. In Dodgeball, he fights a long battle against the jocks, but is eventually defeated. Ian convinces Dr. Rubin to let the Chipmunks and the Chipettes have a sing-off to decide. Simon is nearly recruited to become "litter monitor", but He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Aggravated calls Jeremy out for lying. Simon and Theodore have to throw the sing-off to prevent performing without Alvin. Later, after Alvin receives a call from Brittany, he rushes off to save them with the Christian Morphers. Simon tells Jeanette how to pick the lock. Toby stalls the crowd just in time for the others to arrive. Dave arrives, and Alvin tells them that he said that Dave said that they could stay. Later, Alvin and Dave have a "Tired, not tired" fight, when a Daemonosaurus appears and he says "Tired."

Definitions for "Idler"
An idle wheel or pulley. See under Idle.
Same as Idle Wheel.
A pulley used on some belt drives to provide proper belt tension and to eliminate belt vibration.
Keywords: lazy, otiose, shiftless, slowcoaches, sluggard
One who idles; one who spends his time in inaction; a lazy person; a sluggard.
"There are plenty of lazy people and plenty of slowcoaches, but a genuine idler is a rarity," writes idling expert Jerome K. Jerome. "He is not a man who slouches about with his hands in his pockets. On the contrary, his most startling characteristic is that he is always intensely busy." Despite the dictionary definition, then, although the idler might not "work" in any recognizable fashion, he is neither shiftless nor lazy. His energies, having been freed from the merry-go-round of the working life, are channeled into the pursuit of wisdom and pleasure. See: IDLENESS, OTIOSE.
person who does no work; "a lazy bum"
An unloaded flatcar placed before or after a car from which oversize machinery, pipe, or other material projects.
The is the little bit of mechanism which transfers drive to the cassette reel spools. See also the idler page.

Diamond Mangalsutra Designs
There can never be a dearth of jewellery designs – contemporary or traditional – with Candere, that vows to stand by its laurels and leads in the most innovative jewellery in the country so far. In a world of mindless copying and random mass production of designs, patters especially in the world of fashion and designing, here's where we stand apart. There definitely is something exciting to look forward to with Candere, no matter what your choice or requirement. We specialise and pride ourselves in daily wear as well as occasional wear jewellery in diamonds, gemstones, gold and platinum, even though we are aware that jewellery is an integral part of a person's life and in some case, also their identity. For some women, jewellery holds a great significance in their lives – they feel incomplete without a few pieces of jewelry on them at all times. Some love to wear exclusive designs, customized and tailor-made for them, such that it becomes a part of who they are.
Traditional Mangalsutra
If you are looking for an exclusive piece of a gemstone-studded diamond-Mangalsutra pendant, Sloane is what is highly recommended: it has the grace of diamonds and the ethnicity of green onyx stone, which can be replaced by an Emerald too for the sake of customization.
This collection is a heavier range collection in terms of both the design as well as the price; meant for occasional, festive and celebration trousseau. Well, a married woman's ensemble / look is perhaps not very complete in richness without a beautiful diamond studded mangalsutra pendant and these are our favourite designs under this collection: Ridhima, Shweta, Pamela, Sireesha, Penelope, Madhuri, Haasika, Pradnya, Jagruti.
Diamond Tanmaniya Designs
Most of these exclusively gorgeous diamond tanmaniyas are accompanied by matching designs of diamond earrings too, making them a complete set – to let you have the liberty of a jewellery set on stand-by whenever you need them. Just pick a gorgeous colourful silken saree and you are ready-to-go! So go ahead and add sets of diamond tanmaniya to your Candere shopping cart and wait for the best offers to come your way.
These are a few "sets" we recommend you to consider for your festivities and celebrations; after all diamonds enhance the spirit of and the experience of any Indian festival, don't they! Chandramukhi, Sshraddha, Dhara, Haasika, Sloane, Pradnya, Madhavi, Bhoomika and so on.
Diamond Mangalsutra Price
No wonder these pieces will have a higher benchmark set for pricing too; you may want to opt for Candere's interest-free EMI for completing your purchase. This takes away the burden from your wallet while you place your order. You don't need to make the entire payment at one go or in limited instalments. For products priced above 40-50,000, you may book your product for a standard amount and then continue the payment as per your wish & will. This way, you are ensuring price protection for a gold jewellery, whose rates are constantly fluctuating.
Certified Diamond Mangalsutra Online
If you are buying an item of high value, it has to be accompanied with a proper certificate and document issued only by authentic certifying labs; all Candere jewellery products are certified by IGI and are BIS hallmarked. We value your trust and faith on us and justify it by selling you only authentic precious jewellery.
三分快三Thanks to an online presence across various digital platforms, Candere reaches out to elite jewellery customers across metro cities like: Mumbai, New Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Indore, and Pune.

The annual Choice! event typically causes some confusion, mostly 'cuz no one seems particularly clear on how it works. This year, the organizers have provided step-by-step, detailed instructions on the event blog here; basically, it's a gift with purchase situation.
1. You buy a special "Choice" item (priced to at least $100L) at any 1 of the 20 participating stores. Each "Choice" item includes a free stamp card.
2. You bounce around to get your stamp card "stamped" by a rainbow Choice machine for free at each of the 20 participating Choice! stores. You gotta hit all 20 for each card, but you can "attach" as many cards at once as your avi will allow.
3. You exchange your fully-stamped card(s) for 1 prize of your choice (the prizes are always good + kinda why everybody cares about this event; this year's choices include a killer free black leather purse by Grasp, a free multi-pose sofa set by Y's House + a free chocolate bar (!) briefcase by Honey Kitty, shown below).
I'm showing 2 colors of 1 of this year's free Choice! prizes, this scrumptiously textured fedora hat hair by Tram creator Moca Loup, alongside the top & sweater by Fishy Strawberry released for Modavia Fashion Week. The little red lips earrings are 1 of the Choice! designated items by Tram; actually the Tram store has oodles of great Choice! items, so it's a great excuse to shop Moca's store, which btw is 1 of my absolute faves on the grid.
You can collect as many cards/prizes as you like, so I'll be fixin' to get that Y's House couch ASAP. Stamp collector love + fashionista kisses to all!

It's the second weekend I've spent home when there's racing happening. Not happy! Why? Well, I could have made more effort to go volunteer somewhere, but I'm realizing more and more just how I can't afford it anymore. Even on the tightest of budgets, it would still cost me a few hundred dollars to go down to Indianapolis or Mid-O and I just don't have it. Tim hasn't sent any updates from IndyCar at Mid Ohio, except for the Shea Holbrook pix I posted on our Sponsor A Flagger Spotted blog: http://sponsor.myroadtrip.net/we-heart-shea-holbrook/ yes We <3 Shea! So, I'm home watching /Drive and reading Jalopnik.
Speaking of those fine automotive online publications and media outlets, I am a big fan. Sometimes I may get pissy when they don't reply to messages I send them, but who am I to have expectations, huh? I have visited the Jalopnik offices here in Manhattan (back when I worked there) after winning their facebook movie tickets giveaway. Turns out I was one of only three people that participated in that drawing. So pardon the sarcasm. They are great, and I especially enjoy watching /Shakedown on YouTube, Leo Parente seems like a great guy whom I have spotted a few times now at the track while marshalling, but was too shy to say hello. He too did not respond to my "Flagger Cam" message I sent him, but I'm sure once we get some material to work with, they'll be happy to show some of our footage to the great masses that watch his show.
I love the Jordan Taylor interview from this weekend, where they discuss the hate between American Le Mans Prototype fans and the Daytona Prototypes from Grand-Am. So having my media outlet to voice my opinion, I'm going to air my 2 cents. What a silly thing to have a strong opinion about! People get so worked up about ALMS vs. Grand-Am where, while currently different, many of the drivers get paid to do both series, and its great! Sure, I tend to like the technology in ALMS – like a lot, but the Grand-Am racing is as exciting if not more so in some cases. Especially on subjects Jordan touched on, like the large field of Prototypes: 16 vs. 4. We can't forget the frustration Lucas Luhr has with no competition in his field of P1's. Jordan is perfectly right and something I've been thinking all along. United SportsCar Series will be an interesting form of racing next year, and if there's one good thing to come out of it is that there shouldn't be any overlapping race events on the same weekends, so I don't have to decide whether it would make more sense to go to ALMS or Grand-Am. USCR it is!
In other news, Tim has created a Twitter account for Sponsor a Flagger so do follow us! https://twitter.com/sponsoraflagger Jessie has made a bunch of tweets and retweets, be sure to use the tag #sponsoraflagger so we could join in the conversation.
Speaking of conversation, the three of us from Sponsor a Flagger will be working NASCAR together at Watkins Glen, so expect to see a video or two come out of that meeting. Ironically it will be my immigrant English you'll probably be hearing on the recording 😉
