It's because of the new computer that I have this update now, actually. While I was transferring my files from my old computer to my external hard drive, I came across a backup of the original Nuidya hood - including all its pictures. I took loads in those days - the hood was originally a very, very bad alphabet legacy, which it has (thankfully) outgrown. So I decided to bring all my one reader my top 15 favourite nostalgic snapshots... but be warned, there are a lot of embarrassing confessions about my goofy younger self's goofy playstyle ahead, as well as enough ret-conning to choke a comic writer. :)
I'm starting off with the first ever picture I took in the original hood, "founder" Sena Nuidya, now known as Sena Yuleng (The Firstborn).
Now: she is of alien descent. No one knows much about her past, only that she was found as a baby in a crashed spaceship, and raised by another tribe. She was a skilled hunter and fighter, and used that talent to provide for her family after settling on an uninhabited island. She is now the most revered of the Nuidya ancestors.
Back in the day: she was an experiment with custom content. I frequented the old official TS2 site then, and thought there was only one way to write a legacy, so I played her as the same air-headed founder type everyone used. Her descendants would be outraged if they knew that.
Obviously, this picture was taken before the Nuidya mistrust of technology came into play (before I took them seriously, actually).
Now: the blond guy, Benjamin, was Sena's husband. He left SimNation after graduating college to live with the tribe who raised Sena, and fell in love with her. They left that village together (for reasons I admit I'm still not clear on) and founded what is now Kulo Seeri. He's also a revered ancestor, though slightly less revered than Sena, because some of the elders actually remember him being alive.
Back in the day: he was townie Benjamin Long, before I had empty templates and a need for some sort of explanation why townies are wandering around. (The ones who married in in later generations were explained away by a convenient shipwreck when I needed an excuse.) He was also something of an airhead, despite being a Knowledge Sim, because I thought all legacy Sims had to be stupid when I was fifteen.
There is no historical significance to this shot. It's just an outtake. Can't be all serious - it certainly wasn't then. I think the baby is Azanni.
This is one of the few full family pictures I have from the first generation. I can't tell if Benjamin is dad dancing or laughing at the others smustling.
Now: the kids are, from left to right, Azanni, Avira and Avei. Azanni was the tribal leader after Sena died - no one talks about that now. Avira was the first shaman; she was a twin, she had three sets of twins, and her daughter and granddaughter continued the tradition. Avei would have been a hunter and warrior like his mother, if he didn't have seven kids.
Back in the day: I tended to force stereotyped and exaggerated personalities onto my Sims. The kids were basically nothing but trouble, although I can't recall every detail - I think Avei wanted to rule the world as a kid. Azanni was the legacy heiress; her thing was being a rebel with a thousand causes. I think I gave Avira the ability to predict what was going to happen in the next photo.
These are the other twins, Ace and Asaro, who appeared in the last picture as Sena's baby bump. They were werewolves.
Now: Asaro and Ace were very close, and even lived together after moving out. They were the first Nuidya lorekeepers. Asaro only had two kids, both of whom died in the Great Plague of 61 (or whenever it was) but Ace still has descendants. Some of them still carry the werewolf gene - there are three with the trait at the moment.
Back in the day: Asaro is an old Maltiazi word for cat, before I knew how to make my languages make sense - all she said in my bad legacy story was "meow" and only Ace understood her. Ace basically just wandered around occasionally translating meows, if I remember. His name is pronounced /AK ay/ and means "shade beneath a tree" in Old Maltiazi. At least that's what I decided later.
Another outtake. Avei was a very responsible teenager, as you can see. (Typical Sims, sticking something in the oven ant then juggling mugs while it catches fire...)
Asaro thought she was a cat, as well - at least in the legacy. I forgot to mention that.
Now: the cat (I can't remember its name or whether it was male or female - hmm, I think this is the male) was one of two that the family adopted when I installed Pets. They are the ancestors of the Min Ra breed - the sacred cats of Kulo Seeri.
Back in the day: I seriously thought a "catacy" was a good idea. Heck, if I was using words like "catacy" I probably thought anything was a good idea.
The five kids of Generation Two went off to university, because there was nothing in the Big Book O' Nuidya that said formal education made no sense then.
Now: it never happened. Enough said. But...
Back in the day: it was a blast! Azanni (that's her in the picture) started a Greek house. Her first pledge was a cheerleader (also in the picture) who fell in love with a cow mascot and became a vampire, which made going to class difficult.
After Azanni left, she raised two dormies from the younger twins' dorm who had accidentally died, using a bone phone swiped from the secret society. I think they were called Knut and Lexie. I wish university made sense again.
This is around the time I learned about default replacements.
Now: Azanni married Russ Bear, one of the shipwreck victims. They had a daughter, Bara (green baby) and on the same day, Russ gave birth to alien daughter Zadi (purple baby). Both died in the Great Plague of Whenever-it-was. I miss them.
Back in the day: Russ was the burglar who robbed the house when Azanni was a kid. I hadn't given up on forced caricature personalities then, either - Bara was a mad scientist, while Zadi was a hippy (I was trying to break out of the "all legacy Sims are dumb unless they're aliens, in which case they are super smart and evil" rut).
Another outtake. Benjamin (in his midlife crisis outfit) is actually standing in front of the phone, but I think it looks more like he's calling someone on his cell cat from this angle. :)
Azanni and Russ had another kidlet, Beretu. If he was alive today I would probably have picked another picture - but he's cutest in this one.
Now: I have to admit Beretu doesn't feature in Nuidya history much. He may or may not have survived the Great Plague and subsequent Great Storm of 65 (I keep debating about whether I should bring him back).
Back in the day: I think he was the third-gen heir, not that he got a chance to take over before the hood glitched up and stopped being a legacy. He also sold brushes. I can't remember why.
Sena died in the year 49. I couldn't listen to the song that was playing on their stereo without bursting into tears for a year afterwards. (I'm not ashamed to admit that!)
Now: Sena died around the same time the first TS3 rumours started. Azanni, who suddenly found herself leading the tribe alone while the threat of a new dimension lurked round the corner, became paranoid that everyone was out to get her, and eventually became a tyrant who, among other things, banned the number three. She died in the Great Plague before anyone had a chance to revolt. (This is why today's Nuidya don't like to be overly restricted.) Meanwhile, Sena was reborn as a cat.
Back in the day: This is more or less what actually happened - the cat bit? Well, a cat in Ace and Asaro's house gave birth to a single female kitten at the exact time of Sena's death. If that hadn't happened, I doubt the Nuidya would worship cats quite as much.
This is where what actually happened according to the game and what actually happened according to the Kulo Seeri lorekeepers start to agree. Azanni's third and final pregnancy produced twin girls Banei and Binidu. I can't tell which is which, but Binidu is the only one of her kids who's still alive. Basically, Azanni (or The Arzep - the Nameless One - as she's now known) thought that because they were the result of her third pregnancy, they would be evil. She dumped them off on Uncle Avei - who was already tainted from having had triplets, or so she claimed - and got on with being a raving lunatic. Binidu still resents that.
Obviously, Grandma Sena wasn't going to take that lying down. She did occasionally pop back to give her daughter a piece of her mind.
And then I lost the hood to glitches.
VT says: No idea how this nonsense developed into the Kulo Seeri of today. Still, I've enjoyed every minute of the last six years of playing. Here's to many more!

Is faster still better in therapeutic hypothermia?
Critical Care volume 15, Article number: 162 (2011)

The rapid institution of therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest has become an accepted practice. In the previous issue of Critical Care, Haugk and colleagues present a retrospective analysis of 13 years of experience with therapeutic hypothermia at their center that suggests an association between rate of cooling and less favorable neurological outcomes. The association most likely reflects easier cooling in patients more severely brain injured by their initial cardiac arrest, and should not lead clinicians to abandon or slow their efforts to achieve post-resuscitative cooling.
Conscientious clinicians will always be challenged when they try to translate the latest research into good clinical practice. It can be particularly frustrating to hear that your efforts might in fact be harmful.
In the previous issue of Critical Care, Haugk and colleagues [1] report a retrospective analysis of 13 years of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) cases, suggesting a surprising association between faster rates of cooling and less favorable neurological outcomes. Their data generate some fascinating hypotheses and opportunities for future research but clinicians would be ill-advised, based on both our understanding of pathophysiology and the growing body of published evidence, to use this study as justification to relax efforts to achieve target temperatures as quickly as possible.
Precisely how TH improves neurological outcome after cardiac arrest is not known, but the mechanism is probably multi-factorial. TH is thought to minimize the release and the effect of free radicals, excitatory neurotransmitters and protease cascades during reperfusion of ischemic brain tissue, and may decrease vasoconstriction and intravascular thrombosis leading to potential ongoing micro-ischemia [2]. TH may also amplify the release of neuroprotective proteins [3]. For any of these proposed mechanisms, initiation of TH as soon as possible following resuscitation should be preferable.
Animal models that have been used to study TH have supported early, rapid cooling [4, 5]. In fact, one of the greatest challenges of advancing animal research into the clinical realm has been the difficulty in matching the rapid induction methods achieved in the laboratory in human subjects, with the hopes of observing similar therapeutic benefits. Although no prospective, randomized clinical trials have assessed the effect of time to target temperature on neurological outcome, there are noteworthy signals from existing human trials that support a benefit to rapid cooling. Wol and colleagues [6] analyzed patients rapidly cooled using an endovascular device and showed that the time to target temperature was an independent predictor for a good outcome (odds ratio 0.69 (0.51 to 0.98)). Although underpowered, recent clinical trials of rapid cooling devices have shown trends toward survival benefit [7] and improvement in patient outcomes compared to historical controls [8].
Retrospective data reviews are fraught with potential problems, and are best used to generate hypotheses for future rigorous prospective evaluation. Despite Haugk and colleagues' efforts to control for confounders statistically, their study does not demonstrate whether it is the rate of cooling or differences in other important variables influencing neurological outcome following TH. At most, this study suggests a statistical association, but there is not sufficient biological plausibility to suggest a causal relationship. As the authors point out, their findings might well imply that greater neurological injury is predicted by more rapid achievement of cooling during TH, rather than rapid cooling itself being inherently harmful. There is a plausible argument to be made that patients with more severe anoxic injury may be easier to cool to target temperature quickly because of damage of the thermoregulatory areas of the brain. In Haugk and colleagues' population, the starting temperatures in patients with poor neurological outcomes were half a degree lower before TH was started, suggesting that these patients were already showing some degree of impaired thermoregulation.
Researchers addressing the timing of TH induction face a difficult challenge - to separate the issues of time from return-of-spontaneous-circulation to target temperature, rate of cooling, and impaired thermoregulation. This will no doubt take place in a population that will vary in time to presentation for cooling and patient factors that affect the rate of cooling. There have been tremendous advancements in the methods available to cool patients quickly; cooling rates were originally in the area of 0.32°C per hour but we can now achieve rates more than ten-times faster [8] and are in a position to question how best to cool our patients.
It is time for researchers to ask and answer these challenging questions. Until then, clinicians should continue in their efforts to cool patients post-cardiac arrest as quickly as possible.

Fix Computer ErrorsWritten by admin
If you're computer keeps crashing or it just seems to be running less efficiently than usual, you may want to consider some simple PC diagnostics. When you want to fix computer errors, the first step is to perform a PC scan. You can do this yourself with available software or you can hire a technician to do it for you.
The Best Way to Fix Computer Errors
When you hire a technician it not only costs you a chunk of change, it can also be a big hassle. Many technicians require you to take your computer to their offices if you want them to fix computer errors. They run as much as $100 an hour, and perform only a one-time repair. Every time another error occurs you will have to visit the repair shop again. Most of us don't have the expertise to fix our own PCs, but many of the problems can be easily repaired.
That's where PC repair software comes in handy. You can download this software online in just a matter of minutes. After your software scans your PC it makes suggestions for how to fix computer errors. You don't have to do anything more than select the changes you want to repair. The software provider does the rest for you. Once you have made the initial changes, the software continues to search for system problems on a regular basis.
You never know when a corrupt file will download onto your computer's hard drive. Because this software continuously searches your computer for errors, you can rest assured your hard drive is safe from viruses and long-term damage.

Opioid medication are those medications made up of a compound related to the morphine family of medications and includes Codeine which gets metabolised to morphine-like substances in the body. They are potent medications which work on receptors in the central nervous system to affect the experience of pain. They are sometimes referred to as schedule 8 medications which describes their highly regulated nature in how they are prescribed in Australia.
The main reason for this is their highly addictive nature and potential use for abuse. Opioids do have a place for intractable pain where there is a significant pathology or disease taking place for example a fractured bone, metastatic cancer, severe organ failure, immediate post major surgical treatment, significant neuropathic pain.
It is not this doctor's belief that conditions such as Fibromylagia and Osteoarthritis where there is no, or minimal evidence on imaging of severe disease warrant the use of opioids. As such I will attempt to refrain from using these medications in favour of other forms of treatment.
Ultimately opioid and opioid-like medication (including drugs like Palexia®) used in the long term are not only not useful in the management of chronic pain but also not healthy leading to things like: dependence (addiction), tolerance (constantly needing escalated doses of the medication), constipation, affected cognition, drowsiness (potentially harmful to yourself or others), dysphoria (negative sensorial symptoms).

About 80% of smokers want to give up, and about half will try to quit each year. The majority of smokers think they should quit through willpower alone, by going 'cold turkey'. However, many smokers don't understand that they have to beat the physical addiction to nicotine and also recognise their habits and triggers around smoking to address the habitual and emotional elements of an addiction to cigarettes.
There is strong evidence that the best way to quit is by combining behavioural support with nicotine replacement products or prescription medication. Furthermore, combining slow-acting nicotine replacement products (patches) with fast-acting nicotine products, such as gum, lozenges or an inhalator to deal with any sudden cravings, is more effective than one form alone.
Another key barrier is that a lot of people avoid using nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) because of myths. Some of these myths include: NRT products are addictive (they're not), and are expensive (not compared to continuing to smoke or even the cost of smoking cigarettes for 12 weeks). What about e-cigarettes? A comprehensive review of all published studies shows there is 'low to very low' evidence that e-cigarettes help people quit, and we have no data on long-term effects.
Much research has shown that a brief intervention by a GP or a pharmacist can lead to increased quitting. Furthermore, by visiting your pharmacist you will gain a better understanding of the options available to you and whether or not it would be best to see the GP to gain access to even more treatment options. At Knoxfield Pharmacy and Together Medical we can help you achieve your quitting goals…together!

News in Brief
Dozens of Teacher Misconduct Cases Go Unreported, Utah Audit Finds
School authorities in Utah have failed to report educator misconduct, possibly allowing teachers to offend again by moving to other schools, according to a new audit.
The report, which examined a small sample of cases, found dozens of allegations during the past 10 years that weren't reported to a Utah board of education oversight panel. Teachers were accused of sexually harassing a student by touching the neckline of her shirt, viewing pornography on district computers, offering extra credit to female students if they dressed a certain way, and disciplining a student by throwing a wrench.
In at least one case, an educator was terminated from one school for misconduct that was never reported to the commission, allowing the educator to get another job and offend again, according to the report from the state auditor's office.
State board officials said they are assigning a team to review teacher-discipline practices in response to the findings.

Finvarra's Curcus by Monica Sanz
Genres: Fantasy, Fairytale, Romance
Finvarra's Circus is coming to town, and Leanna Weston is determined to see it. Everyone knows once the circus leaves, the fairest girl in town is found dead, deformed, and heartless. Rumors say it's the handsome ringmaster, Finvarra, who steals their beauty and their hearts, but this means little to Leanna. Her heart is damaged and failing her. Surely he won't want it. She sneaks into the circus, but caught by Finvarra, he gives her a choice: become their tightrope walker or die.
Leanna accepts, and now a part of their strange family, she learns that Finvarra never meant to harm her. He needs her to stay. An ancient curse binds the troupe to their circus. They must perform forever or perish. To break the curse,Finvarra must die, and only the famed muse, the Leanan Sidhe, can kill him.
Finvarra believes he's found his muse in Leanna, and Leanna can't deny the growing attraction between them. But not everyone wants freedom for the circus and they'll kill any girl suspected of being Finvarra's inspiration.
With her life and the circus's on the line, can Leanna sacrifice her love to free the troupe? Will her feelings for Finvarra be their demise? Or will her heart fail her when she needs it the most?
What I think of the book:
I'm not a morning person, but I was pretty excited when I woke up today as I was looking forward to writing this review.
When I got the Finavarra's Circus ARC last week, I was worried that since I'm a slow reader (and I had blog posts to create and Wattpad stories to update), I won't be able to finish the book on time for its release.
However, my worries proved pointless.
Finvarra's Circus is one of those books that make you say "Just one more chapter and I'm going to bed", then "Okay, just the first couple of paragraphs of this chapter, just to see what it's about… And a couple of more… And, well, I've started the chapter already; might as well finish it."
Want a tearjerker? Read. This. Book.
Happiness, anger, sadness – you will feel all the emotions the characters go through as if you are one of them, as if you are them. The descriptions in this book will engulf you, painting vivid pictures in your imagination and opening you to a whole new world, one filled with magic.
Magic you will want to be a part of.
You will want to be a part of Finvarra's troupe, you will want to share in their curse and you'll want to risk you life for him, for Leanna, for Kioyo, for all of them.
Indeed, Finvarra's enchantment is seeping through every page and so is the magic that is the writing of Monica Sanz.
Who I would recommend this book to? I'd recommend Finvarra's Circus to all the people who need magic in their lives.
My rating: (5 out of 5 magic crystals)

The Prancing Pony, came from the polo horses that my Grandfather and Uncle would ride in the polo matches. They were farm horses during the week but on the weekend they became prancing ponies. The horses were always beautifully preened for competition, with their manes roached and tails braided so that there is no danger of being tangled in the mallet.
Like a prancing pony this Riesling is elegant and zesty. The grapes were sourced from a single vineyard in the cooler sub region of the Polish Hill River in the Clare Valley. A lovely aroma dominated by lemon and lime nuances that flow to the palate brimming with citrus and slate characters all beautifully balanced by bright acidity to finish.
Release Date – October 1st 2019- Only 150 dozen produced
Food Match: Grilled Whiting Fillets or Oysters & Lime
Cellar: Drink Now or cellar 5 – 8+ years

Jacksonville, Fla. - Dorsey Hill, the world's biggest Bulldog fan, left here Sunday afternoon, bound for Auburn, Alabama, where Georgia's undefeated football team next appears. "I don't think you can get from Jacksonville to Auburn," I had said to him. "You can change buses in Waycross and Columbus," Dorsey answered.
"You aren't going home first?"
"Home?" He screamed back. "I haven't worked since Texas A&M, and I haven't slept since Clemson. You expect me to go back home when we play Auburn in only six more days?"
I lost my head, I suppose.
A lot of people lost their heads here Saturday afternoon. Georgia played Florida. Georgia won the game, 26-21. It's a lot more complicated than that, however.
Georgia came into the game ranked second in the nation. To continue to compete for its first Big Banana ever, the national championship, Georgia had to continue its winning streak. Florida ( "bunch of swamp lizards and beach bums," according to Dorsey Hill), wanted to step on Georgia's dream.
Dorsey arrived here Thursday afternoon with thousands of others who made the early departure south from various points in Georgia. Many of those individuals were as drunk as five-eyed owls by the time they reached the Florida line.
As local wit Rex Edmondson says, the Georgia-Florida game is the "annual celebration of the repeal of prohibition."
Dorsey waited until Friday to get into his serious pre-game drinking, however. "I stopped at the New Perry Hotel Thursday for lunch and filled up on collards," he said. "It's hard to drink on a belly full of collards."
Now that I have had time to digest all that did eventually happen in college football Saturday, I think I can say without fear of charges of blasphemy that the whole thing was a religious experience. "Deacon Dan" Magill, the "Baptist Bulldog," read a prayer to the Georgia faithful in which he beseeched the Almighty to help the Bulldogs "smite the Florida Philistines."
Then there was the game itself. Georgia behind 21-20, ninety-three yards away, time running out. "We need a miracle!" screamed Dorsey Hill, now fortified with more than collards.
Georgia got its miracle. Buck Belue to Lindsay Scott, for ninety-three yards and the winning touchdown with only seconds remaining. If that wasn't enough, there was the astounding news from Atlanta. Georgia Tech had tied No.1 Notre Dame.
Surely, Georgia will be ranked first in America when the ratings are released. "A tie was a gift from Heaven," said Dorsey. "Notre Dame gets knocked out of number one but Tech doesn't get a win. God is a Bulldog."
I must make one confession here. I did it, and I must suffer the consequences. I gave up at Jacksonville Saturday afternoon. Florida had the ball. Florida had the lead. There was only three minutes to play. I left the stadium. I was in the street when the miracle came.
"You are a gutless disgrace," Dorsey Hill said to me later.
He detailed my punishment: "We're going to a tattoo parlor in this very town tonight," he began. "And you're going to have '26' tattooed on one of your cheeks in red. And you're going to have '21' tattooed in black on the other cheek. I don't want you to forget what you did."
I won't, but which cheeks is between me and the tattooist.

NFL Analyst Identifies Most Attractive Job Opening
Hint: it's not the Green Bay Packers
Eight NFL teams are looking for a head coach, including the Packers, Broncos and Jets. But believe it or not, there's one job that could be better than the rest.
"I really think that the Browns job might be the most attractive – and it goes beyond just the fact that they have a young quarterback to build around for a long time in Baker Mayfield," The Sports XChange's Howard Balzer said on After Hours with Amy Lawrence. "I think one of the most attractive things about the Browns is something that's not talked about: organizational structure. When you take one of these jobs, you want to have confidence that whoever is in charge of personnel – if it's not yourself – is going to get you the players that will help you win. I think John Dorsey is a big plus for the Cleveland Browns."
Dorsey, 58, has served as Browns general manager since 2017. His track record is, well, pretty impressive.
"Let's not forget that in two years he helped trade up and draft Patrick Mahomes for the Chiefs and then this year Baker Mayfield for the Browns," Balzer said. "I think that's a big factor."
Balzer dismissed the notion that any NFL head-coaching job is a good one. After all, the Cardinals fired Steve Wilks after just one season, and the Broncos fired Vance Joseph after two – despite the fact that neither had a great roster.
"I think that's a big, big thing – at least it would be for me," Balzer said. "If I'm looking to take a job as a head coach, I want to know I have a chance to be successful because when you get that chance, if it doesn't work out, odds are you're not going to get another one. So I want to know that I have a real chance of success in a league that's very hard to have success. That's why I think the Browns are definitely the most attractive job there is."
The Browns went 7-8-1 this season, this after going 4-44 from 2015-17. They last made the playoffs in 2002.

Targeting Teens
Teens, between the ages of 12 and 17 years old, are major players in the CE market. They are inspired by technology and attribute it to making their lives easier, helping them in their studies and to socialize. Technology is thoroughly integrated into their daily lives and accounts for up to eight hours of their day.
CEA's Teens and Technology study provides valuable insights on why teens are influential in the technology industry. CEA estimates that households with children spend around $961 annually on CE devices, compared to households without children, which spend around $705. Another important distinction is that households with teens are twice as likely to be early adopters of technology, compared to the general population. Given that one-third of teens consider themselves early adopters of technology, it becomes clear that teens can heavily influence technology trends.
What does this mean for manufactures and retailers: Target teens! Teens are not only influencing their families but their peers as well. Due to their advanced knowledge of technology, many teens consider themselves "Tech Advisors" to friends, giving recommendations on devices. Teens also seek approval among their peer group and hope to have the same technologies as their friends.

Growth Trends for Related Jobs
It's high season for holiday parties, long personal to-do lists and plenty of shopping. Throw in piles of snow that start falling (and require shoveling) around parts of the country and work seemingly gets lowered on the list of life priorities. While the workload may slow a little, there are still looming deadlines and year-end reports that must be finished. Staying focused is a challenge. Here's how to tune out distraction and tackle that to-do list.
Take a Break
Yup, experts advise that if you want to get more work done, take regular breaks throughout the day. Your brain can't remain deeply engaged for extended periods, so the magic formula is to take short breaks every 75 to 90 minutes. Get up, take a walk, or talk to a friend or co-worker, but not about work. The key is to disengage your brain from work-related thoughts. Those who take regular breaks are more focused and creative overall and report less work-related fatigue.
Schedule and Take Time Off
Similar to taking regular breaks, allow yourself time to recharge. It's better to plan ahead and schedule time off when you need it. Whether your in-laws are coming for the week, you need to spend a few hours at the mall, or you want to spend a day with friends and family, do it, but completely disconnect while you do. This allows your brain to better separate work and personal tasks and will put your mind at ease when you are at work, knowing that time off is just around the corner.
Go back to basics and make a list as soon as you start your workday, prioritizing all the tasks you know need to get done by the end of the day, end of week and end of month. Then tackle those tasks that require the most focus or creativity, or you just dread the most, earliest in the day. That's when your brain is fresh, you're better able to concentrate, and you aren't fighting fatigue.
Quit Multitasking
Trying to get a project finished that requires deep concentration? Stop trying to multitask. Turn off email and phone notifications for 30-60 minutes and immerse yourself in that one task only. A top MIT neuroscientist advises that multitasking "ruins productivity, causes mistakes, and impedes creative thought."
Get to the Gym
Run, take a long walk, crush it at spin class, or whatever you do, get your heart rate pumping to increase endorphins. With fewer hours of sunlight and a diet that likely includes more junk food during the holiday season, your brain and body will benefit from the workout boost. It's highly accepted that 30 minutes of exercise a day will help to boost concentration, increase energy and provide an overall boost to your mood. It will also help counteract all those cookies in the office kitchen!

Health Care
I just wrote to both of my state's senators to express my views on the current health care crisis. I don't know if anyone will ever read it but I feel good that I've done something to try to influence our representatives to fix the system. It is not enough but maybe if enough people write in praising the attempt to fix and change health care instead of screaming in fear against it, some progress will finally be made. Health care in this country is clearly broken and something needs to be done. Please, if you have something to say on this issue, please add your voice and write to your own representatives.

Lacquer Exhibition "Vóc & Dáng"
Opening: Wed 24 Jul 2019, 5 pm
Exhibition: 24 Jul – 11 Aug 2019, 9 am – 12 pm and 1.30 – 5 pm
VICAS Art Studio
32 Hao Nam Street, Dong Da District, Hanoi
From the organizer:
You are invited to the exhibition VÓC & DÁNG by Bui Quang Thang and Nguyen Vinh Thinh.
The two painters participating in this exhibition both paint on 'VOC', the wooden canvas used in traditional Vietnamese lacquer, and the word can be literally translated as 'posture'. Bui Quang Thang, an experienced painter, specializes in carved lacquer while Nguyen Vinh Thinh, a young artist, chooses lacquer.
The concept of VOC in the art realm may vary: Some people just see it as the surface material of a picture (similar to paper, silk or canvas) whilst some people value it as an inseparable part that constitutes the quality of artworks. Painter Bui Quang Thang, who is in the latter group, said: "To me, VOC must be made as if it's a perfect lacquer painting and if it is not that good, I don't want to paint."
In an effort to modernize the lacquer art, many artists have tried to reduce the heaviness of wooden boards by making lacquer without wooden canvas, but there are artists who want to preserve VOC-based painting as a Vietnamese cultural identity.
The Vietnamese have the idiom "posture first, skin next" to talk about the outstanding feminist characteristics of attractive women. The word "POSTURE" (VOC also in Vietnamese) in this exhibition represents that concept: How do artists create or shape women in their paintings to express their aesthetic views?
While Bui Quang Thang stays loyal to traditional slender, shy and discreet postures, Nguyen Vinh Thinh shows a different social and aesthetic view on modern women: He loves hot body. In other words, Bui Quang Thang's paintings encase the romantic love that seems melodiously echo from the old days; and Nguyen Vinh Thinh's paintings evoke rapid rhythms and more fiercely sensual emotions of today's love.
Both artists started with traditional lacquer and wanted to develop it to adapt the new era. They are all not conservative and were willing to change painting materials, to change the way of shaping and drawing to have contemporary feelings breezing in. That is the very contribution of Bui Quang Thang and Nguyen Vinh Thinh for the development of Vietnamese lacquer art.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Western governors say electric vehicles will be able to travel easier across 5,000 miles of highway under a new agreement promising to build a network of charging stations in seven states.
The governors of Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico and Wyoming announced Wednesday they had signed a memorandum of understanding to create a regional electric vehicle plan.
According to the agreement, governors will coordinate charging station locations and create voluntary minimum standards for station operations and management.
Idaho Gov. C. L. "Butch" Otter says the initiative will allow locals and visitors to explore the West using the vehicle they prefer.
The agreement was signed at the Energy Innovation Summit hosted by the National Governors Association.
Currently, more than 20,000 electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids are used on roads in western states

Reflection Survey At Lightning Dock Area (Cunniff & Bowers, 2005)
From Open Energy Information
Exploration Activity: Reflection Survey At Lightning Dock Area (Cunniff & Bowers, 2005)
|Exploration Activity Details
|Lightning Dock Area
|Exploration Technique
|Reflection Survey
|Activity Date
After reviewing bids from six firms, LDG contracted with Bird Geophysical Services ("Bird") to conduct a test to determine if relatively small, spring-assisted, drop weights could be used to successfully acquire deep reflections. This test showed that the contractor could produce usable data to depths of more than 1,500 ms two-way travel time. (For a given velocity model, this two-way travel time is equivalent to several kilometers of depth penetration.) Subsequently, LDG used Bird's services to acquire new traverses totaling about 27.6 km (17.2 mi.) along roads leading through the center of the LDG lease and the center of the shallow geothermal anomaly. This total included four new traverses across the putative Animas Valley Fault using 1-2-km traverses in four different locations.

We often get asked while we're travelling or even just when we meet someone new back home, how did you become photographers? We've both had very different pathways to becoming photographers and it just proves there's no perfect way to venture into this industry.Let's start with Ayesha…
I'm the qualified one, and yet the one that isn't really into the technical side of things at all – I understand the technical stuff but don't really care about it and just love creating beautiful photos! In 2010 I graduated with a Bachelor of Creative Industries, a double major in Photomedia and Graphic Design, a course I decided on after having taken photography all through high school. I left uni freelancing as the Creative Director for a fashion magazine (what I thought was my dream job – I have some beautiful magazines that I've designed from front to back, but oh what an 'interesting' industry!) and we went on our first overseas holiday together to Singapore. The travel bug bit at that point but alas, we had to return home and I landed my first photography job – a portrait photographer for a family and children's studio in Perth. I worked there for a year, leaving to study early childhood teaching (I lasted five days – what a ridiculous idea!), and threw myself into developing my own beauty photography business. I shoot portraits. I struggle to branch out because no matter what, I always yearn for someone in the photo (I often take sneaky photos of Gavin while he's shooting). You could say I'm the 'locals' part of L&L.And Gavin…oh, where do we start. Gavin also took photography through school but began his furniture making apprenticeship while he was in his last few years, continuing with it once he had graduated. Not long before he was going to become qualified, he did a major back injury which resulted in two years of workers compensation and a lot longer of pain. He got his qualification, but at 21 it was already time for a career move and after seeing what I was doing at uni, he became more and more interested in taking his photography knowledge further. Gavin did six months of full-time work experience with one of Perth's top fashion and lifestyle photographers (and a great bloke!), while constantly watching YouTube tutorials and reading magazines and anything he could get his hands on – learning more useful, practical skills in that six months than I learnt in three years at uni (sorry Mum!). At that point, he scored a job as the Automotive Photography Supervisor for a car auction company and went on to shoot mainly automotive and commercial photography for four years, being featured in different publications, and shooting freelance jobs. We moved to Vancouver in 2013 and his car love began to dwindle (he was getting his fix doing automotive spray painting as his day job!) – getting more and more interested in street, landscape and architectural photography.
Gavin NEVER puts his camera down. We go to pick up takeout pizza, there's the Leica. It's time to do the grocery shopping, the Olympus is hanging out his back pocket. Oh, we're going for coffee? Better grab the Fuji. He LOVES his gadgets so is always keeping up to date with the latest models, updates and technology and then attempting to have a conversation with me about them. This is why almost every camera review you'll find on here is written by him – he's the lenses component of L&L.
There's no right or wrong way to becoming a photographer. Pick up a camera, start shooting, and see where it leads you. Whether it's your iPhone, SLR, or grandfather's Box Brownie, the best way to learn is to practice, ask questions and love what you do.

The Cheshire-based firm - an independent when it first bought Gold membership of OTM - was taken over by Connells in the autumn.
One report this morning says the firm suggests OTM's poor reception by the consumer press and some clients objecting to the 'one other portal' rule were key factors in the return of the agency to Zoopla.
Meanwhile the latest testimonials released by OnTheMarket's PR division have a common theme of criticising Zoopla.
James Birt of the three-office Naylor Powell agency in Gloucester says: "For quite some time we had felt that the leads produced by Zoopla were not particularly good quality in the sense that they rarely converted into instructions or viewings. Now that we are listing on both Rightmove and OnTheMarket the volume of leads has increased [and] ... are of a much better quality in that most of them are from committed ready-to-go clients or applicants."
Ben Hudson, director of Hudson Moody in York, another three-branch agency, says: "OnTheMarket currently provides around 25 per cent of our online leads which are of far higher quality than those we received from Zoopla."
And Nick Manson of the single-office Mansons agency in Newcastle says in the testimonial "I decided to join Agents' Mutual as a founder Gold member from the very beginning because I felt strongly about supporting an alternative property portal to challenge the dominance of Rightmove and Zoopla."
Meanwhile a recommendation on the investment website Motley Fool tips Zoopla as one of "three great picks for 2016" with investors told it has some years of growth likely given the continuing recovery in the housing market.

Bigg Boss 11: Sapna Choudhary says, 'Hina Khan isn't the way she's being shown on national TV'
Sapna Choudhary is out of the reality television show 'Bigg Boss 11'. The 'Weekend Ka Vaar' episode hosted by Salman Khan saw the elimination of the Haryanvi dancer
Known as the 'Anarkali of Haryana', contestant Sapna Choudhary entered the 'Bigg Boss 11' house as a commoner and managed to gain recognition for herself. Last weekend saw the elimination of Sapna from the show and she isn't unhappy about it. Rather, the evicted contestant is proud and at 'peace'. Talking to mid-day, she unleashed many covers of her rival contestants from the house. The candid conversation had praises beaming for Hina Khan and also hatred for some other contestants. Read the entire interaction to know more about Sapna Choudhary.
Sapna Choudhary
After spending several days inside the 'Bigg Boss' house, how does it feel to see the outside world?
It feels like I've gained peace.
Were you expecting your eviction this week?
I was very sure that I'll get evicted this week because I was constantly being nominated for the past few weeks. I would want to thank my fans for showing their support towards me. However, there comes a time when your fans start getting irritated and I didn't want to hurt my fans in any manner but I failed in doing so. And, as a result, here I am outside the house after the eviction.
In the nomination task, you had the chance to be safe but you saved Luv instead, don't you regret it?
I have no regrets about it. In fact, I'm very happy and I'm mighty proud of myself that because of me, my brother (Luv) will survive more two weeks in the house.
Since the beginning of the show, you have always stood for yourself, and then you joined Hina's bandwagon. So, do you think your actions were a result of Hina Khan's influence on you?
No. There's no truth to it. I haven't got influenced by anyone in the house. This is a bitter truth of life that nobody can influence a person. I think a person only listens to his/her mother and apart from it, he/she doesn't pay heeds to anybody else's talks. They do what they want. Talking about Hina, she is a very nice person. That's a different thing about how her character has been portrayed inside the Bigg Boss house and the way it is being perceived thereafter. Despite this, she is a very nice human being.
Who do you think is playing the best in the house?
I think I was playing the best because I was playing with all my heart and soul. Things didn't work out with other contestants because they all were playing mind-games. And amidst all of this, I was the only one who was only listening to her heart. Therefore, I think I was playing the best.
According to you, who fakes it all in the house?
I think Shilpa Shinde is a fake person.
Your fans were expecting to see your 'latkas' and 'thumkas', but they barely got to see you?
I did dance. Every morning I would start dancing but the original dance style of mine will only be seen outside, not in the house. Honestly, even I was missing my dance inside.
What were the thoughts in your mind, when Arshi Khan pointed out to you saying that you are a dancer?
She said it in a demeaning manner. So, for two to three minutes, I felt extremely bad, I was hurt. Later, I thought, this is what I am - a dancer. So, what's wrong with it? I avoided the whole discussion thinking it in this aspect.
Would you want to foray into Bollywood?
Of course, why not?! I haven't received any offers but I'm quite confident about myself that offers will definitely come my way.
Recently, Haryana's Manushi Chillar represented India and bagged the title of Miss World. Since you also hail from there, how does it feel?
I feel very good because the change in Haryana is such now that nobody is lacking behind in anything. Everyone is very much ahead in their field. The scenario has been changing now, everyone expects for a girl child unlike earlier, where they thought only a boy could bring prestige to the family.
Now, that Haryana's talent is flourishing all over India - be it sports (Geeta Phogat), beauty pageants and various other fields, would you like to try your hands in making regional Haryanvi films?
Of course! I'll try to do as much as possible for our regional industry but in today's times, it's impossible for me to do. I'm saying this because you need a lot many other things in hand, like capital, etc. Even though, I'll try my best for it because if I have come here, it will boost the morale of other commoners and will encourage them to come here fearlessly.
Who do you think has the capability to win the show?
The one who plays mind games has the capability to win the show and that is Akash Dadlani.
You were always taunted for being lazy and sleeping at most times. What do you have to say about it?
More than me, Akash and Vikas Gupta keep sleeping in the house. Once, if you get any tag, it doesn't leave you.
How has the environment changed after dividing the housemates into two groups?
Yes, it did spread a lot of negativity. But there wasn't any group because a group cannot survive there. Everyone has gone solo and will come out solo. Group will be a very small word for it. Time keeps telling who is in which person's group.
What did Puneesh mean when he said that your shows were meant for mass audiences and Hina's shows were for classy audiences?
Salman Khan sir has taught me a very good thing and that is, Puneesh didn't mean it in an offensive way. However, if you look it from my eyes, it was always meant to be offensive and I did get offended by it. I chose to not make a huge issue out of it. There are no definitions of the words - 'classy' and 'massy' - for artistes. An auto driver also deserves the same amount of respect, which a doctor deserves. For me, everyone is equal and there's no class differentiation. And I believe massy is better than being classy.
First, it was only Haryana, now the entire nation knows you and is a fan of your dancing. How does it feel when you start gaining so much recognition?
I'm feeling very good in the way India is showering their love for me and I have also seen it. Apart from it, I think I did not lose my self-respect in this entire journey. I went with it and came out with it. I have no qualms about my eviction. Winning and losing are the two sides of life's coin. If we don't lose then who'll win? So, at times, to make somebody win, one has to lose.

Something stupid this way comes It doesn't bother me that wrinkled, bitter old Dan Rather filed suit against CBS. It doesn't bother me that he's going to prove ::ahem:: that the documents were, in fact, real. It doesn't even bother me that his partner in crime, Mary Mapes, is going to the mat for Danny boy. After all, her reputation is shit because of this too, so I expect her to stick her fingers in her ears while going LALALALALALA at the top of her lungs. What does disturb me are the bugfuck crazy commenters at the H.R. Puffington Stuff, who claim that -finally!!!- the truth will be revealed. Other than the fact that these loons are overdue for their meds, I mean.Comments are disabled. Post is locked.

I won't link to the Huff-and-puff-and-blow-your-house-down site, but Jim Treacher does, so go read his post. And especially follow the link to this story as well.
Update: From Slublog's comment in Allah's post comes this link to Jonah. Excerpt:
In 2004, at the height of the Dan Rather Memogate story, I wrote in National Review: Across the media universe the questions pour out: Why is Dan Rather doing this to himself? Why does he drag this out? Why wont he just come clean? Why would he let this happen in the first place? Why is CBS standing by him? Why ... why ... why?
There is only one plausible answer: Ours is a just and decent God.

|6.998 billion
|National City
|President Kiir
|Sea Cucumber
The Republic of Pokemanland is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Kiir with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, prohibition of alcohol, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 6.998 billion Pokemanlandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of National City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Pokemanlandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,094 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 299,281 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.
Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, group photos of the members of parliament are often mistaken for family reunions, grim instructresses lead the unwillingly impregnated in chants of "it's all my fault" and "blessed be the fruit", and organ donation is compulsory. Crime is totally unknown. Pokemanland's national animal is the Sea Cucumber, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.
Pokemanland is ranked 15,900th in the world and 691st in The North Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,362.39 on the Clooney Contribution Index.

Most Recent Government Activity:

Norton indoor track and field runner Paul Wisnaskas had himself a solid winter season.
Wisnaskas teamed up with James Partridge, Corey Stalters and Peter Rivard to win the MSTCA Division 4 State Relays at the end of the season. The boys qualified for their second NB National Indoor Championship.
The boys' shuttle hurdle relay team ran 32.84 seconds the following day, placing 22 out of 26 teams in the championship division, missing the school 4x55m hurdle record by only 0.38 seconds.
Wisnaskas began the spring strong by scoring 13 points for the Lancers in their 73-63 win over Bellingham in the season opener. He won the 400 hurdles, triple jump and placed second in the high hump. Wisnaskas' leap of 44' feet, 2 inches in the high jump broke a 29-year school record held by Vern Wyatt (1990).
The Taunton Daily Gazette Sports Department recently asked Wisnaskas some questions to get to know him better:
TG: Who is your favorite sports hero?
PW: Danny Bennett, a friend from Dover-Sherborn.
TG: What age were you when you started your sport?
PW: At the age of 5.
TG: What is the best part about competing?
PW: Completing the race.
TG: What emotions do you feel when you do well?
PW: I feel accomplished.
TG: How does being an athlete make you a better person?
PW: It keeps me motivated and helps me set goals.
TG: What is your favorite movie about sports?
PW: "Prefontaine" directed by Steve James.
TG: What do you do to calm your butterflies while you compete?
PW: I try not to think too much and keep my mind clear.
TG: What is your favorite food to eat the night before a big competition?
PW: Pizza.
