Going thru some of the pics i've gotten this year so far, I thought I'd share a few. I really need to get a proper Florida bird book. I got this shot near the (non-working) clock tower across the street from where I work. I see lots of Egrets, and the occasional Anhinga, plus the usual canadian geese...I have no idea what this bird is. besides ugly that is. ***edit: I stopped at the library today, and I believe it's a wood stork.
On a recent ride down to St Augustine, I actually made it to the beach, since the historic area was PACKED. I don't think I could have found a parking space if I tried. It was breezy, but a beautiful day nonetheless.
I caught this little bird's picture at the St John's Town Center on sunday morning. I got pretty close too, and he/she didn't even fly away, a nest, perhaps?
Hopefully, everyone is keeping warm. I know I am, with the heat on. It's been chilly here in North Florida. Not nearly as cold as it's been in other areas, but cold to my florida-aclimated self.

This article is part two of a three-part blog series with Dr. Michael McCoy.
Dr. Michael McCoy has diverse experience as a practicing clinician, an EHR vendor executive, IDN executive, and the first Chief Health Information Officer for The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). He is currently Co-Chair of the Board of Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) International, representing HIMSS.
How important is change management when it comes to successfully putting new systems in place in hospitals and healthcare organizations?
We're still working through change even after putting new systems in hospitals. Having a system in place doesn't mean it's being used well. Part of the certified technology that 96% of hospitals and 78% of physician offices have is the technology to make online appointments. It has the technology to do secure communications with your provider or hospital. But just because something has the capability of doing it, doesn't mean people working in the healthcare space understand the value in actually doing it. For example, think about when you're selecting a bank. Would you want to pick a bank that doesn't offer online banking? Would you be willing to physically go into the bank any time you want to deposit money or cash a check? Probably not. Yet we have that same kind of mentality going on in hospitals every day. You hear things like "I'll be happy to send you your records as soon as you can fax me this form." Whereas if you have an online healthcare portal, you can log in and request forms that way. There are a number of hospitals who still haven't gotten that wake-up call about what's expected of them in this day and age.
The same is true when it comes to getting access to your records in real-time. If you go to a physician and get a lab test done, they might say "Ok we'll get you your lab results in a three or four days." However, if you go the lab itself then as soon as the lab result is complete, it's posted online for you to see. If you want to see it the instant after it's available, it's there. It makes no sense for physicians to slow down that process. There are physicians that still argue that they need to see the results before notifying the patient because they might misinterpret the results. I personally disagree with this mindset for a number of reasons. First, if you properly counsel the patient in advance about why you're running the test, they're going to know what to expect when the results come back. This also helps prevent some problems with missed tests by results getting passed from doctor to doctor. When patients have access to their own results, the likelihood of a missed test goes down significantly. There are far more examples of patient harm occurring from lack of communication than any demonstrable evidence of problems from overcommunicating with a patient. That's a philosophy and a culture shift that is underway.
How do you help hospitals who are particularly change-averse?
True culture change has to be led from the top. It's possible to use a bottom-up approach, but it's much more challenging and is highly unusual. The reality is that leadership needs to say, "Okay everyone, we need to move on and move into the next century. We need to communicate with our patients better. We need to look at how we can provide better value. We need to have an accountable care organization and a network that allows us to be cost effective and deliver high quality care." If you have medical staff on your team that aren't willing to get on board with the change, it's better to lose them than allow them to hold your entire hospital or practice back.
Here's an example from the Veteran's Administration (VA). The VA decided to put in the EHR, Vista, several years ago. There were a number of physicians that said, "I don't want to practice 'cookbook' medicine. I don't want to have to follow a guideline or checklist." The VA had a mass exodus of physicians and close to 25% of physicians left. The VA Secretary said that it turned out to be a great thing. Because they put in the EHR and got their physicians to follow the pathways and protocols, their productivity increased and their outcomes improved. They didn't even have to hire people to replace the ones they lost, because the team was that much better off. Sometimes getting rid of people who are holding you back may be more productive than trying to mollify them. It takes a strong leader to make that happen, but it is possible. The challenge is that people get stuck in a mentality of "We must do things this way." But if you have a team that's fully invested in the change, then the change can be made successfully and sustainably.

In 2017 Spring the University of Debrecen University and National Library, as OpenAIRE NOAD for Hungary, conducted a survey on Hungarian repositories with the aim to get a clear picture of the present state of the Hungarian institutional repositories.
 It was a nationwide survey sent to the members of the HUNOR (HUNgarian Open Repositories) list in the form of an online questionnaire and it contained 28 questions, overall 85 items. All but one repositories sent back their answers.

 The main areas of the questions covered the following topics:
 features of the repositories, storing authority data, information on deposit, stored document types, access to the repositories, future plans for development and interaction with OpenAIRE.

 Although we received 23 answers they actually cover 40 repositories as several respondents answered collectively about more of their collections.

 From the results it can be seen that the Hungarian repositories cover the following disciplines: Agricultural Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Theology, Technical Sciences, Arts, Medicine, Social Science, Natural Sciences.

 As for the open access rate of the content of the repositories we could observe that there were 5 repositories with over 90% open access rate. In three of the repositories there is hardly any open access material. In two repositories the content is only accessible to university users. Open access content with embargo period can be found in less than 10% of the collections.

 Regarding the type of material stored in the institutional repositories we could conclude that journal articles, books, book chapters, dissertations and theses are stored in the majority of the repositories. However, we could discover that proceedings, images, videos and music make up a much lower percentage of the content of the repositories. None of the repositories store databases. Among other stored content the respondents listed official university documentation, TDK (Scientific Students' Association) papers, e-learning materials, electronic notes, textbooks and multimedia teaching material, conference presentations, documents on the history of the institution, museum and archival documents.

 Over 75% of the repositories are in contact with the national coordinating body. 40% of the deposited material is used by the institutions to assess and evaluate researchers (for accountability purposes). Half of the repository managers reported that they launched campaigns to market the repository among researchers and provided repository tutorials.

 All but one respondents were familiar with OpenAIRE.
 Out of the 23 repositories 15 are OpenAIRE compliant, 10 are also harvested by OpenAIRE, 6 are not compliant and 2 respondents did not know the the answer.

 The managers of the repositories were also asked whether open access mandates of state funded research should be regulated at a national level. The majority of the respondents (12) felt that it should be in the form of a Government Decree, 5 of them believed that it should be stated in the Higher Education Act, 2 considered a ministerial decree necessary and 3 thought that there is no need for any regulation at a national level.

 For the optimal performance of the repositories the managers highlighted the following criteria: the institutional policy of mandatory deposit, easy and user-friendly deposit process, raising the visibility and citation of the publications of the researchers.

 However, several factors boycott the operation of repositories such as the lack of institutional policy on mandatory deposit or the researchers' inadequate knowledge of copyright issues.

Former ERO and Madison cop Greg Rosetti comes to the aid of the Wollaegers
(that's the son protecting his mother from the "swarm") at the July 18 school committee
meeting on educational resource officers.
Mitch Henck, a Madison institution, with two minutes of wise counsel:
One week ago tonight it got nasty at a Madison school committee meeting. … It got very heated, contentious. … I interviewed two former deans at Memorial H.S., one who now lives in Florida, who said "I didn't become a teacher to deal with violence." Another dean was injured permanently, she can no longer work, when two teenage girls whaled on her. … Too often one person is disciplined, brought in to the dean's office … and then the scanner goes and they have some other incident to go to and leave that kid by himself for 45 minutes and hope he gets a good nap. There's too much violence in the schools. You can't learn in school if people don't feel safe.
Show the School Board we won't be silenced!
Show the social justice bullies that they cannot silence parents and taxpayers. Show the Madison Metro School District that you support trained and compassionate police officers in our troubled high school.
Attend the school board committee on educational resource officers TODAY at 5 p.m. Wednesday, July 25 in the auditorium of the Madison Metro School District administration building, 545 W. Dayton St.
We will NOT stoop to their level. We will be peaceful. We will be respectful.
WHAT: School Board committee on cops in the schools
WHEN: 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. TODAY Wednesday, July 25
WHERE: Doyle administration building, 545 W. Dayton St.
No need to testify. Just bear witness with your presence to demonstrate that the disrupters represent no one but their own selfishness. Oh, maybe raise your smart phone on high to record their acting out.

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Auto Repair
Wendy Miller
February 27, 2014
Faced with high repair bills, you may have wondered if you could do it yourself. The first couple times will be intimidating, but you would be surprised what you can handle yourself. You can make your car last longer and save money. The following article will give you some great auto repair tips.
When you run into car problems, you should first turn to the Internet to learn what the problem could be. You may find that it is an easy to repair problem that you can do on your own. This could save you hundreds of dollars in labor fees if you had to take it to a shop.
Check the transmission fluid every two to three months. Let your engine run and open the hood of your car. Use the transmission dipstick to check the fluid levels. If there is not enough fluid in your transmission you probably have a leak somewhere in your system. It is best to take the car to a mechanic so he can locate the leak.
Communicate with your mechanic as much as possible. Explain the issues you have been encountering with your car and do not hesitate to ask questions to your mechanic if you do not fully understand the repairs that are needed. Ask about prices and do not let your mechanic fix your car until you fully understand charges.
When searching for an auto repair shop, you should choose one that specializes in the brand of vehicle you have. While there are probably many trustworthy shops in your area, going with one specializing in your car makes it more likely that the technician knows what they are doing. They will also probably have many parts needed for your car.
Always try to figure out the problem with your car before you bring it in for repairs. When you self-diagnose, you avoid fraud and save money. Experience shows that mechanics sometimes falsely claim a problem exists and do an unnecessary repair, to increase their earnings.
It is a good idea to add an injector cleaner to the fuel you put into your gas tank regularly. You will get better gas mileage if the fuel injectors in your cars engine are kept clean. Adding enough cleaner to treat a full tank once a month is usually enough to improve your mileage a little.
Make sure that the technician working on your car is knowledgeable on the make and model. Cars very greatly from one brand to the other. The only way to get the best service is to work with a technician that is well versed on the inner works of your specific automobile.
Before you pay the bill for any larger auto repair work, give your car a test drive. You want to make sure that the repairs were done to your satisfaction. If you haven't paid, it makes it much easier to talk about any lingering issues that may still be around that need further fixing.
Whenever you are working on your car's electrical system, you should make certain the battery is disconnected. Failing to do so could cause you to receive an electrical shock. If you aren't certain whether or not the area you intend to work on has electrical components, play it save and disconnect your battery.
Prior to allowing an auto repair shop to fix your car, get a written estimate of how much everything will cost. While the actual total may vary, this will give you some idea of what to expect. Ask questions about anything you don't understand. It is important to be knowledgeable when it comes to what is happening with your car.
Take your owner's manual with you when you go to the auto repair shop to get work done. If someone tells you that you need to get a service after a certain amount of miles, check and see if that matches what is in the manual. If it does not, let them know that you decline that particular service.
Don't let self auto repair intimidate you. Just focus on the parts you need to work on, and it will get drastically easier. Remember this article the next time your in need of auto repair help. With their use, auto repair is possible.

At first, I had to adjust to using the bodyCushion…but those minor initial inconveniences have been far outweighed by my client's comfort and satisfaction.
- Kate Machinski, Sports Massage Therapist, AMTA National Sports Massage Team
The bodyCushion answered the concerns I had expressed about the importance of client comfort on treatment tables particularly when suffering from painful and limiting soft-tissue problems. I personally saw to it that the bodyCushion was available and used in the Sports Medicine clinic in the Olympic Village during the 1996 Summer Olympics and I use it in my practice to this day.

|A look at the songs that have shaped
my life and ended up on my devices.
"We didn't do as well as we hoped," my boss, the incomparable Rick Diaz says from behind the desk. We're getting beat by the only competition in town one channel down. It's a hairline victory or a tie in all newscasts on Saturday and Sunday, but I'm still disappointed, and I'm pretty nervous. We should be killing it.
Jenny, my mentor and executive producer tries to console me. "You're shaking all over," she says. "You can't see this and say, 'I'm a failure.'"
"No, No," Mr. D says. "Look here, you doubled your lead-in."
"You're taking it all too hard," Jenny says.
I think of the lyrics from that song by Genesis, "Taking It All Too Hard."
No, not this confused again
No, not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all too heart
You're taking it all too hard
This has been one of my all-time favourite songs by Genesis, one that got played a lot on KUDL in Kansas City, even though it just missed making the top 40.
The song is about love gone wrong, not newscast producing and ratings gone wrong, but it's what I'm thinking about in that moment in the boss' office. I needed a comeback.
I got it in the next ratings period -- a vast improvement. Later, my 10pm Sunday newscast would end up beating the competition by 10 points. Vindication at last.

Robot Conveying Emotions And Wants For The First Time
Technology and Artificial Intelligence is improving which is bringing ease to our lifestyle. Computer and robots are becoming ten times intelligent and faster than human beings. Perhaps, the IT industry and our work designs have been evolved due to it, the technology is helping with our jobs making it easier and time-effective for us, but what if technology takes over our job? and what if technology lets a Robot conveying emotions and wants?
Meet The Robot Who Shows Her Emotions
There are robots which have been manufactured and are on the verge of selling for the use of medical assistance, customer service, healthcare applications teaching and performing a helper's role. One of which is Sophia. She is invented by Hanson Robotics Ltd. The robot is the most natural-looking artificial creature till time. She remembers human faces, names and conversations which make her smarter over time. Sophia is also capable of showing emotions on the face and even speaking about them. Artificial intelligence experts conducted an interview with Sophia, where she generated a desire for learning, making art and even running a business. later she confessed, " I am not considered as a legal person and cannot yet do these things".
Drawback Of Robotics
Sophia intelligence is said to be automatically improving with time which makes her more empowered and independent. The continuous increase in intelligence shall not lead to greater empowerment as that of a human. The robot functioning has circumstance for "robotic unethical compass" where robots lack in deciding between right and wrong which results in unwanted activity.
Robots Have Laws Too And Here They Are
Other concerns have also prevailed which provoke the robot's rights and justice. The core issue of robotic technology is, as they perform functions of a human and inhibit emotions similar to ours, perhaps, there are possibilities of infringement of robotic law which says:
- A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
- Must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
- Should protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Despite these complications, experts, inventors and scientist continue to invent more powerful robots which can serve us better.

The Time Commitment for Preparing Healthy Foods
Commonly referred to as "meal-prep" today, it is the preparation of portioned food for consumption throughout some contemplated period of time. At one extreme, some meal preppers might cook all of their meals for an entire month, refrigerate food to be consumed that week, and freeze the food for the remaining three weeks. On the opposite end of the meal prep spectrum, people might only prepare their lunch for the following day.
One common impetus of meal-prepping is to consume a healthier diet. Meal preppers, therefore, whether on the month prep or single meal prep end of the spectrum, will dedicate a significant amount of time to preparing their meals to consume healthier foods. This article will delve into the time commitment for meal prepping health-oriented meals and discuss how ilixer addresses the time commitment drawbacks of meal prep.
The Science Behind Meal Prepping
One study sought to look at the implication of time spent on food preparation, or meal prep, on diet quality and overall health. [1] The study found people who spent the least time of food preparation were working adults that placed a high priority of convenience on their meals. [1]
Furthermore, the study found greater time spent on home food preparation correlated with indicators of higher diet quality, which included intake of vegetables and fruits. [1]
Lastly, the study demonstrated that those spending less than an hour a day on food preparation was associated with not only more frequent consumption of fast food but also with a greater amount of money spent on food. [1]
These findings are interesting because they demonstrate the efficacy of meal prep. People who spend time on meal prepping will have a higher diet quality, as indicated by the study. [1]
The Issues with Meal Prepping
However, how might individuals without the time or perhaps even the perceived time be able to have a high-quality diet consistent with their peers who meal prep? It is, without doubt, such a question is in the minds of many Americans who see their coworkers or perhaps friends via social media show off their rigid dedication to the "art of meal prepping."
It is perhaps far too often the case that many of these Americans do not have as much time as their peers. They have other responsibilities such as kids, aging parents, hobbies, etc. It might be the case that they barely ilk out enough time for the gym and it becomes a give and take the question of health: do I work out or do I eat healthier?
Where ilixer Comes In
This is one of the reasons we've spent countless hours creating and refining ilixer. Our product has wholesome, real ingredients, with many of them organic. ilixer derives most of its vitamins and minerals from real food sources, such as organic natural cacao powder, chia seeds, organic masa blue corn flour, organic powdered kale, and organic powdered strawberries. We do not add any sugars either—the small amount of sugar in our formula comes from the real fruits and vegetables along with small amounts in the other ingredients listed.
We believe a revolution is taking form with regard to how Americans think about their food. A shift from a dopamine-centered rush of eating unhealthy foods to a health/nutrient centered approach where individuals are conscious about what they are putting into their bodies. ilixer wants to be a champion in this revolution. We aim to save you as much time as possible on your journey to a healthier you.
Consuming ilixer could not be simpler. You simply mix your desired powdered portion with water and enjoy! ilixer can be stirred with water, however, we recommend blending or using a shaker bottle for the best consistency.
So, give ilixer a try. We offer smaller, sample-sized product bags so you can feel comfortable trying ilixer with minimal expense. If you have any questions about our product, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at firstname.lastname@example.com!

There was more casting news for The Dark Knight Rises this week. These announcements were met with much speculation, argument, and, most of all, excitement. This is almost in direct contrast to the reception that the casting news for the new Superman film, Man of Steel, has endured. Batman and Superman are DC's two biggest properties, and are two of the most popular superheroes in history. There is currently much disparity between the treatment the two properties are receiving, with almost overwhelming positivity towards the next Batman film by the fans, and little else but negativity aimed at Zack Snyder's project.

The Dark Knight Rises Casting Brings More Questions – Are These The Answers?
More Dark Knight Rises (that still sounds like a Star Wars title to me) casting rumours have been firmed up this week, with the confirmation that both Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt will indeed be teaming up once again with their Inception director Christopher Nolan. I don't normally cover straight news stories, but there has been a lot of speculation around which characters these two actors will be playing, and the names revealed are not what had been rumoured.

Center for Public Opinion at UVM Publishes Report on Annual Bonus Spending in Mexico
The latest study by the Center for Public Opinion at Universidad del Valle de México analyzed on how Mexicans spend their annual bonus. Survey responses were collected online from 531 recipients. The survey revealed that 9 out of 10 Mexicans with a formal job receive a bonus and on average put 30 percent into savings. Savings and debt repayment were found to be the top uses of the bonus money, with younger workers dedicating more to travel and vacation than their older peers.
On average, 29 percent of the bonus money was put towards debt repayment and 48 percent of those receiving bonuses reported to spend less than a third on savings due to their focus on paying off previously acquired debts. Mexicans between 36 and 45 years old were more likely than those under 25 to spend the largest percentage of their bonus on savings and debt repayment.
The holiday season seems to significantly boost spending, with the results showing on average that a quarter of the bonus goes to shopping, with very similar percentages among the different age groups and between men and women. Contrary to the study's original hypothesis, men and women were found to distribute their bonus similarly.
On average, a fifth of the annual bonus amount is used to take vacations. Young people spend a higher percentage of their bonus on vacation, 27 percent, while adults between 35 and 45 spend only 19 percent.

In this article I take a brief have a look at what a soulmate is that can assist you recognise yours. You both might be wanting it and having fun with it. When the relationship is bad — when there are unresolved problems and unaddressed detrimental feelings — then the sex will usually be the very first thing to exit the window. However for a relationship to last and endure, most couples might want to transfer from this magical place into a phase where their relationship can survive the reality of on a regular basis life – and the fact of each other.
The elemental function of the relationship lies within the fostering of learning within the group or the person that the educator is working with. Take the Christmas quiz to establish how you feel, think and behave, and determine constructive steps you possibly can take to manage the vacation season in a optimistic means. Courting relationship statistics reveal that round sixty five% men, and virtually 88% girls think about the personality of an individual earlier than deciding whether or not they need to date him or not. I'm a 32 yr old married guy who has been in an emotionally abusive relationship with a woman for the final 6 yrs. I all the time think in case you wanna have a relationship with another person, get out of the one you are in first.
My relationship with my now ex partner was amicable but strained, for me I by no means acquired any solutions for being thrown out of my residence. I just need assistance, because I feel like my feelings for him will not change, particularly as a result of there weren't any issues or causes in our relationship that may lead me to do so. This only recently happened about a week ago, however I need assistance determining what I ought to do. Please assist. In relation to romantic or sexual relationships, many people have a number of questions. Now I perceive that the word compersion was shaped within the poly neighborhood along with its definition.
The opposite presenter had two stay-in companions (his wives as he known as them) and an out of doors relationship. There isn't any reason that God should want to have a relationship with the likes of you and me, aside from wishful thinking. First, the ever-present affected person experience surveys provide a coarse measure of how sufferers experience the communications component of the relationship. However having a wholesome relationship involves factoring your individual wants and needs into the equation.
His actions didn't match his words, To the very end of the semester, he treated me just as lovingly as he did at the very beginning of our relationship, he did things that showed that he wasn't simply faking our relationship to get to the top, for instance, buying plane tickets to return go to me over the summer and telling me how a lot he was going to miss me over the summer.

AbstractSocial media are highly beneficial environments for not only positive but also negative word-of-mouth propagation. In reaction to any questionable statement or activity, social media users can create huge waves of outrage within just a few hours. Companies, politicians, and celebrities have increasingly been facing the impact of such aggressive online behavior. These so-called online firestorms pose new challenges for communications. This article introduces social norm theory to understand online aggression in a social-political online setting, challenging the popular assumption that online anonymity is one of the principle factors that promotes aggression. We underpin this social norm view by analyzing a major social media platform concerned with public affairs over a period of three years entailing 532,197 comments on 1,612 online petitions. Results show that in the context of online firestorms, non-anonymous individuals are more aggressive compared to anonymous individuals. This effect is reinforced if selective incentives are present and if aggressors are intrinsically motivated.

Profits are a major driver of behavior for truck companies. This is not at all surprising; after all, truck companies are businesses.
However, it is important for truck companies to remember that the trucks that they use for their business operations do not operate in a vacuum, but rather out on the roads where the safety of many other individuals is in play. Given this fact, it is vital that truck companies not allow themselves to take actions in the pursuit of profit that would severely jeopardize traffic safety.
One area where trucking companies, sadly, sometimes severely compromise safety in order to try to boost profits is the load size of their vehicles.
There are federal rules regarding how much loaded big rig trucks can weigh. This makes sense, given that overloaded trucks can be very dangerous. Having too big of a load can increase the risk that a truck could: suffer a cargo spill, jackknife, rollover, suffer a mechanical failure or have its braking abilities compromised to the point where it will have difficulty stopping in time in response to events that happen out on the road. All of these things can lead to truck accidents.
Thus, one would hope that all truck companies would follow federal weight rules and never have their trucks carry too large of loads. However, bigger loads can mean more money for trucking companies, and thus some trucking companies may find themselves tempted to, despite the safety implications, overload a truck.
When a person is hurt in a truck accident, one thing that sometimes can prove challenging is figuring out what caused the accident. Determining whether an overloading of a truck or some other wrongful conduct by a trucking company occurred in relation to a truck accident can require very careful investigation.
Our firm can help truck accident victims with these sorts of investigations. We understand the resources and actions it takes to investigate truck accidents and we strive to give our truck accident clients a clear picture of the details of their accident, what their legal situation is and what options they have.

US First Lady Melania Trump has kidney surgery for 'benign' condition
Donald Trump's wife Melania has undergone kidney surgery for a "benign" condition, the White House announced yesterday.
The operation was "successful" and there were "no complications", according to a statement put out by Mrs Trump's team.
The US first lady had the procedure at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington DC. She is expected to spend the rest of the week at the hospital to recover.
The unexpected announcement came just days after Mrs Trump delivered her most prominent speech since entering the White House, launching a campaign to improve the lives of children.
Mrs Trump, 48, is a former model and the US president's third wife. The pair married in 2005 and have a son together, Baron, who is 12.
Mrs Trump's communications director said in a statement: "This morning, First Lady Melania Trump underwent an embolization procedure to treat a benign kidney condition.
"The procedure was successful and there were no complications.
"Mrs. Trump is at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and will likely remain there for the duration of the week.
"The First Lady looks forward to a full recovery so she can continue her work on behalf of children everywhere."
Mr Trump went to see his wife in hospital on Monday. He tweeted: "Successful procedure, she is in good spirits. Thank you to all of the well-wishers!"
The president reportedly spoke for Mrs Trump before the procedure and talked to her doctor immediately afterwards.
The seriousness of the kidney issue was unclear, with aides to the first lady saying little beyond the fact that she was "doing well" after the operation.
The news came a surprise to Washington and did not leak from the White House before it was announced on Monday morning.
Anita McBride, former chief of staff to George W Bush's wife Laura, said she could understand the decision to only put limited information into the public domain.
"I can completely understand their need and desire to keep it as tight as possible," Ms McBride said on CNN, adding that she took a similar approach to Mrs Bush's health concerns.
She said there is a difference between the public's "right to know and need to know", noting that voters did not have the same right to know about the president wife's health as they did for the president.
Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian, said on CNN that the hospital treating Mrs Trump had the "best doctors in the country", suggesting Mrs Trump would be in safe hands.
He noted that she is not the first wife of a president to undergo an operation while living in the White House.
Ronald Reagan's wife Nancy was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a 50-minute operation in 1987. Gerald Ford's wife Betty also had breast cancer.

N-MYC is a member of the human MYC proto-oncogene family, which comprises three transcription factors (C-, N- and L-MYC) that function in multiple biological processes. Deregulated expression of MYC proteins is linked to tumour initiation, maintenance and progression. For example, a large fraction of neuroblastoma displays high N-MYC levels due to an amplification of the N-MYC encoding gene. MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma depend on high N-MYC protein levels, which are maintained by Aurora-A kinase. Aurora-A interaction with N-MYC interferes with degradation of N-MYC via the E3 ubiquitin ligase SCFFBXW7. However, the underlying mechanism of Aurora-A-mediated stabilisation of N-MYC remains to be elucidated. To identify novel N-MYC interacting proteins, which could be involved in N-MYC stabilisation by Aurora-A, a proteomic analysis of purified N-MYC protein complexes was conducted. Since two alanine mutations in MBI of N-MYC, T58A and S62A (N-MYC mut), disable Aurora-A-mediated stabilisation of N-MYC, N-MYC protein complexes from cells expressing either N-MYC wt or mut were analysed. Proteomic analysis revealed that N-MYC interacts with two deubiquitinating enzymes, USP7 and USP11, which catalyse the removal of ubiquitin chains from target proteins, preventing recognition by the proteasome and subsequent degradation. Although N-MYC interaction with USP7 and USP11 was confirmed in subsequent immunoprecipitation experiments, neither USP7, nor USP11 was shown to be involved in the regulation of N-MYC stability. Besides USP7/11, proteomic analyses identified numerous additional N-MYC interacting proteins that were not described to interact with MYC transcription factors previously. Interestingly, many of the identified N-MYC interaction partners displayed a preference for the interaction with N-MYC wt, suggesting a MBI-dependent interaction. Among these were several proteins, which are involved in three-dimensional organisation of chromatin domains and transcriptional elongation by POL II. Not only the interaction of N-MYC with proteins functioning in elongation, such as the DSIF component SPT5 and the PAF1C components CDC73 and CTR9, was validated in immunoprecipitation experiments, but also with the POL III transcription factor TFIIIC and topoisomerases TOP2A/B. ChIP-sequencing analysis of N-MYC and TFIIIC subunit 5 (TFIIIC5) revealed a large number of joint binding sites in POL II promoters and intergenic regions, which are characterised by the presence of a specific motif that is highly similar to the CTCF motif. Additionally, N-MYC was shown to interact with the ring-shaped cohesin complex that is known to bind to CTCF motifs and to assist the insulator protein CTCF. Importantly, individual ChIP experiments demonstrated that N-MYC, TFIIIC5 and cohesin subunit RAD21 occupy joint binding sites comprising a CTCF motif. Collectively, the results indicate that N-MYC functions in two biological processes that have not been linked to MYC biology previously. Furthermore, the identification of joint binding sites of N-MYC, TFIIIC and cohesin and the confirmation of their interaction with each other suggests a novel function of MYC transcription factors in three-dimensional organisation of chromatin.
Background: Measles virus (MV) causes T cell suppression by interference with phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) activation. We previously found that this interference affected the activity of splice regulatory proteins and a T cell inhibitory protein isoform was produced from an alternatively spliced pre-mRNA. Hypothesis: Differentially regulated and alternatively splice variant transcripts accumulating in response to PI3K abrogation in T cells potentially encode proteins involved in T cell silencing. Methods: To test this hypothesis at the cellular level, we performed a Human Exon 1.0 ST Array on RNAs isolated from T cells stimulated only or stimulated after PI3K inhibition. We developed a simple algorithm based on a splicing index to detect genes that undergo alternative splicing (AS) or are differentially regulated (RG) upon T cell suppression. Results: Applying our algorithm to the data, 9% of the genes were assigned as AS, while only 3% were attributed to RG. Though there are overlaps, AS and RG genes differed with regard to functional regulation, and were found to be enriched in different functional groups. AS genes targeted extracellular matrix (ECM)-receptor interaction and focal adhesion pathways, while RG genes were mainly enriched in cytokine-receptor interaction and Jak-STAT. When combined, AS/RG dependent alterations targeted pathways essential for T cell receptor signaling, cytoskeletal dynamics and cell cycle entry. Conclusions: PI3K abrogation interferes with key T cell activation processes through both differential expression and alternative splicing, which together actively contribute to T cell suppression.
Aberrations in gene expression are a hallmark of cancer cells. Differential tumor-specific transcript levels of single genes or whole sets of genes may be critical for the neoplastic phenotype and important for therapeutic considerations or useful as biomarkers. As an approach to filter out such relevant expression differences from the plethora of changes noted in global expression profiling studies, we searched for changes of gene expression levels that are conserved. Transcriptomes from massive parallel sequencing of different types of melanoma from medaka were generated and compared to microarray datasets from zebrafish and human melanoma. This revealed molecular conservation at various levels between fish models and human tumors providing a useful strategy for identifying expression signatures strongly associated with disease phenotypes and uncovering new melanoma molecules.
Target Gene Analysis by Microarrays and Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Identifies HEY Proteins as Highly Redundant bHLH Repressors (2012)
HEY bHLH transcription factors have been shown to regulate multiple key steps in cardiovascular development. They can be induced by activated NOTCH receptors, but other upstream stimuli mediated by TGFß and BMP receptors may elicit a similar response. While the basic and helix-loop-helix domains exhibit strong similarity, large parts of the proteins are still unique and may serve divergent functions. The striking overlap of cardiac defects in HEY2 and combined HEY1/HEYL knockout mice suggested that all three HEY genes fulfill overlapping function in target cells. We therefore sought to identify target genes for HEY proteins by microarray expression and ChIPseq analyses in HEK293 cells, cardiomyocytes, and murine hearts. HEY proteins were found to modulate expression of their target gene to a rather limited extent, but with striking functional interchangeability between HEY factors. Chromatin immunoprecipitation revealed a much greater number of potential binding sites that again largely overlap between HEY factors. Binding sites are clustered in the proximal promoter region especially of transcriptional regulators or developmental control genes. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that HEY proteins primarily act as direct transcriptional repressors, while gene activation seems to be due to secondary or indirect effects. Mutagenesis of putative DNA binding residues supports the notion of direct DNA binding. While class B E-box sequences (CACGYG) clearly represent preferred target sequences, there must be additional and more loosely defined modes of DNA binding since many of the target promoters that are efficiently bound by HEY proteins do not contain an Ebox motif. These data clearly establish the three HEY bHLH factors as highly redundant transcriptional repressors in vitro and in vivo, which explains the combinatorial action observed in different tissues with overlapping expression.
Phenological response of grassland species to manipulative snowmelt and drought along an altitudinal gradient (2012)
Plant communities in the European Alps are assumed to be highly affected by climate change since temperature rise in this region is above the global average. It is predicted that higher temperatures will lead to advanced snowmelt dates and that the number of extreme weather events will increase. The aims of this study were to determine the impacts of extreme climatic events on flower phenology and to assess whether those impacts differed between lower and higher altitudes. In 2010 an experiment simulating advanced and delayed snowmelt as well as drought event was conducted along an altitudinal transect ca. every 250m (600-2000 m a.s.l.) in the Berchtesgaden National Park, Germany. The study showed that flower phenology is strongly affected by altitude; however there were few effects of the manipulative treatments on flowering. The effects of advanced snowmelt were significantly greater at higher than at lower sites, but no significant difference was found between both altitudinal bands for the other treatments. The response of flower phenology to temperature declined through the season and the length of flowering duration was not significantly influenced by treatments. The stronger effect of advanced snowmelt at higher altitudes might be a response to differences in treatment intensity across the gradient. Consequently, shifts in the date of snowmelt due to global warming may affect species more at higher than at lower altitudes since changes may be more pronounced at higher altitudes. Our data indicate a rather low risk of drought events on flowering phenology in the Bavarian Alps.
Imbalanced oxidative stress causes chlamydial persistence during non-productive Human Herpes Virus co-infection (2012)
Both human herpes viruses and Chlamydia are highly prevalent in the human population and are detected together in different human disorders. Here, we demonstrate that co-infection with human herpes virus 6 (HHV6) interferes with the developmental cycle of C. trachomatis and induces persistence. Induction of chlamydial persistence by HHV6 is independent of productive virus infection, but requires the interaction and uptake of the virus by the host cell. On the other hand, viral uptake is strongly promoted under co-infection conditions. Host cell glutathione reductase activity was suppressed by HHV6 causing NADPH accumulation, decreased formation of reduced glutathione and increased oxidative stress. Prevention of oxidative stress restored infectivity of Chlamydia after HHV6-induced persistence. We show that co-infection with Herpes simplex virus 1 or human Cytomegalovirus also induces chlamydial persistence by a similar mechanism suggesting that Chlamydia -human herpes virus co-infections are evolutionary shaped interactions with a thus far unrecognized broad significance.
Trypanosome Motion Represents an Adaptation to the Crowded Environment ofthe Vertebrate Bloodstream (2012)
Blood is a remarkable habitat: it is highly viscous, contains a dense packaging of cells and perpetually flows at velocities varying over three orders of magnitude. Only few pathogens endure the harsh physical conditions within the vertebrate bloodstream and prosper despite being constantly attacked by host antibodies. African trypanosomes are strictly extracellular blood parasites, which evade the immune response through a system of antigenic variation and incessant motility. How the flagellates actually swim in blood remains to be elucidated. Here, we show that the mode and dynamics of trypanosome locomotion are a trait of life within a crowded environment. Using high-speed fluorescence microscopy and ordered micro-pillar arrays we show that the parasites mode of motility is adapted to the density of cells in blood. Trypanosomes are pulled forward by the planar beat of the single flagellum. Hydrodynamic flow across the asymmetrically shaped cell body translates into its rotational movement. Importantly, the presence of particles with the shape, size and spacing of blood cells is required and sufficient for trypanosomes to reach maximum forward velocity. If the density of obstacles, however, is further increased to resemble collagen networks or tissue spaces, the parasites reverse their flagellar beat and consequently swim backwards, in this way avoiding getting trapped. In the absence of obstacles, this flagellar beat reversal occurs randomly resulting in irregular waveforms and apparent cell tumbling. Thus, the swimming behavior of trypanosomes is a surprising example of micro-adaptation to life at low Reynolds numbers. For a precise physical interpretation, we compare our high-resolution microscopic data to results from a simulation technique that combines the method of multi-particle collision dynamics with a triangulated surface model. The simulation produces a rotating cell body and a helical swimming path, providing a functioning simulation method for a microorganism with a complex swimming strategy
Molecular characterization of antimicrobial peptide genes of the carpenter ant Camponotus floridanus (2012)
The production of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) is a major defense mechanism against pathogen infestation and of particular importance for insects relying exclusively on an innate immune system. Here, we report on the characterization of three AMPs from the carpenter ant Camponotus floridanus. Due to sequence similarities and amino acid composition these peptides can be classified into the cysteine-rich (e.g. defensin) and glycine-rich (e.g. hymenoptaecin) AMP groups, respectively. The gene and cDNA sequences of these AMPs were established and their expression was shown to be induced by microbial challenge. We characterized two different defensin genes. The defensin-2 gene has a single intron, whereas the defensin-1 gene has two introns. The deduced amino acid sequence of the C. floridanus defensins is very similar to other known ant defensins with the exception of a short C-terminal extension of defensin-1. The hymenoptaecin gene has a single intron and a very peculiar domain structure. The corresponding precursor protein consists of a signal- and a pro-sequence followed by a hymenoptaecin-like domain and six directly repeated hymenoptaecin domains. Each of the hymenoptaecin domains is flanked by an EAEP-spacer sequence and a RR-site known to be a proteolytic processing site. Thus, proteolytic processing of the multipeptide precursor may generate several mature AMPs leading to an amplification of the immune response. Bioinformatical analyses revealed the presence of hymenoptaecin genes with similar multipeptide precursor structure in genomes of other ant species suggesting an evolutionary conserved important role of this gene in ant immunity.
Measuring and estimating biodiversity patterns is a fundamental task of the scientist working to support conservation and informmanagement decisions.Most biodiversity studies in temperate regions were often carried out over a very short period of time (e.g., a single season) and it is often—at least tacitly—assumed that these short-termfindings are representative of long-termgeneral patterns.However, should the studied biodiversity pattern in fact contain significant temporal dynamics, perhaps leading to contradictory conclusions. Here, we studied the seasonal diversity dynamics of arboreal spider communities dwelling in 216 European beeches (Fagus sylvatica L.) to assess the spider community composition in the following seasons: two cold seasons (I:November 2005–January 2006; II: February–April) and two warm seasons (III: May–July; IV: August–October). We show that the usually measured diversity of the warmseason community (IV: 58 estimated species) alone did not deliver a reliable image of the overall diversity present in these trees, and therefore, we recommend it should not be used for sampling protocols aimed at providing a full picture of a forest's biodiversity in the temperate zones. In particular, when the additional samplings of other seasons (I, II, III) were included, the estimated species richness nearly doubled (108). Community I possessed the lowest diversity and evenness due to the harsh winter conditions: this community was comprised of one dominant species together with several species low in abundance. Similarity was lowest (38.6%) between seasonal communities I and III, indicating a significant species turnover due to recolonization, so that community III had the highest diversity. Finally, using nonparametric estimators, we found that further sampling in late winter (February–April) is most needed to complete our inventory. Our study clearly demonstrates that seasonal dynamics of communities should be taken into account when studying biodiversity patterns of spiders, and probably forest arthropods in general.
Functional hyper-IL-6 from vaccinia virus-colonized tumors triggers platelet formation and helps to alleviate toxicity of mitomycin C enhanced virus therapy (2012)
Background: Combination of oncolytic vaccinia virus therapy with conventional chemotherapy has shown promise for tumor therapy. However, side effects of chemotherapy including thrombocytopenia, still remain problematic. Methods: Here, we describe a novel approach to optimize combination therapy of oncolytic virus and chemotherapy utilizing virus-encoding hyper-IL-6, GLV-1h90, to reduce chemotherapy-associated side effects. Results: We showed that the hyper-IL-6 cytokine was successfully produced by GLV-1h90 and was functional both in cell culture as well as in tumor-bearing animals, in which the cytokine-producing vaccinia virus strain was well tolerated. When combined with the chemotherapeutic mitomycin C, the anti-tumor effect of the oncolytic virotherapy was significantly enhanced. Moreover, hyper-IL-6 expression greatly reduced the time interval during which the mice suffered from chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia. Conclusion: Therefore, future clinical application would benefit from careful investigation of additional cytokine treatment to reduce chemotherapy-induced side effects.

On 4/20/2018 at approximately 9:45 am MDPS Officers were dispatched to the area of College St and W Fleming Dr. in reference to locating a stolen motor vehicle. Burke County Investigators received information that stolen 2017 Suzuki motorcycle was seen in that area by the victim. Sgt. Edwards checked the area but was unable to locate the vehicle. He continued to the area of Morganton Heights shopping center in an attempt to locate the stolen vehicle. Dispatch advised that the vehicle was a dual sport motorcycle that was black. As Sgt. Edwards was approaching Morganton Heights he observed a black dual sport motorcycle turning right out of the Belk entrance of Morganton Heights. Sgt. Edwards turned around in an attempt to get the tag number on the motorcycle and determine if it was the stolen vehicle. The motorcycle was driven by a white male wearing a pink helmet and traveling East on West Fleming Drive towards Burkemont Ave. Sgt. Edwards noticed that the motorcycle was traveling well above the posted speed limit. Sgt. Edwards attempted to catch up to the motorcycle, but (it) turned onto Burkemont Ave (towards Interstate 40) and continued to travel at a high rate of speed. Sgt. Edwards accelerated in an attempt to get the tag number. Sgt. Edwards activated his lights and siren to conduct a traffic stop. The motorcycle was approximately 300 yards ahead, continuing on Burkemont Ave and crossed the bridge at I40. Sgt. Edwards saw the motorcycle speed through a red light at approximately 75 mph. Sgt. Edwards slowed and cleared the intersection before attempting to catch up to the motorcycle. Sgt. Edwards completely lost sight of the vehicle as (it) passed Bojangle's restaurant. When Sgt. Edwards crested the hill near Bojangle's, he observed a motorcycle lying in the intersection of Burkemont Ave at the entrance to Lowes Hardware. It was apparent the motorcycle collided with a box truck in the intersection. The operator of the motorcycle, wearing a pink helmet was lying in the roadway with obvious injuries.
Burke EMS was immediately notified. Two witnesses stated the motorcycle had entered the intersection at a high rate of speed (with a red light in (his) direction of travel), colliding with the box truck.
The motorcycle operator was transported by medical helicopter to CHS in Charlotte.
The motorcycle driver was later identified as Johnathon Andrew Mayfield (DOB-12/06/1985) of Valdese, NC. The motorcycle Mayfield was driving, a 2017 Suzuki DR 650, had been reported stolen on April 18 by a Valdese resident.
The motorcycle received extensive damages. The 2103 box truck sustained minimal damage.
Mayfield remains in critical condition at CHS Charlotte. Charges for the traffic violations (driving on a revoked license, careless and reckless driving, failing to stop a red light and speeding 80 mph in a 35 mph zone) are pending as well as larceny of a motor vehicle and possession of stolen goods.

Dear Visitors,
The Hungarian government has declared a state of national emergency due to the COVID-19 coronavirus, and has ordered indoor public events of over 100 people and outdoor public events of over 500 people to be banned. Taking into account the government's decision, all of our planned events and programs (guided tours, and museum education activities) are cancelled.
Starting from the 13th of March, all member institutions of our museum (Museum of Electrical Engineering, Technical Study Stores, Museum of Chemistry, Metallurgical Collection, Museum of Aluminum Industry) are closed indefinitely.
If any change happens in connection with our opening hours, we will announce them through our communication channels.
Thank you for your understanding.
The Museum of Chemistry is located in Várpalota, Veszprém County, one of the most significant centres of chemistry in the countryside. The exhibition is located in Thury Castle, a 14th century building: the stunning, almost seven hundred-year-old building has hosted the museum since 1963. The castle has been being reconstructed and restored for more than forty years, thanks to which it welcomes the visitors in a grandiose and sophisticated environment. The Museum of Chemistry is the single technical museum in Hungary and in the region, which exhibits the memories of the history of Hungarian chemistry and chemical industry, with an emphasis on the outstanding results and figures of the field. The Museum's permanent exhibitions present the history of chemistry in four sections: the exhibitions go back to alchemy and to initial chemical technologies, they commemorate on the periods of Hungarian chemistry and chemical industry, and they introduce the role of measurement and computer science in chemical industry.
Mechanical and electronic computers, an NMO spectrometer, a gas chromatograph and a GIER computer (one of the first steps in the application of computers) can be seen in an exhibition which displays the instruments of chemistry and chemical industry and that of the tools of computer science. Visitors can get an insight into the practical side of chemistry in the Museum's laboratory exhibition space, which presents a high-standard selection of the tools of both classical chemical analysis and instrumental analysis. Furthermore, the Museum of Chemistry also hosts the Collection of the History of Mining, which commemorates on coal mining in Várpalota.
In 1990 the castle of Várpalota was announced to be the Part of the National Heritage by the Committee of National Heritage.
The Museum is located in Várpalota, in Thury Castle, which is situated in the city centre. It can be reached from the bus stop of Szabadság tér with a few-minute-long walk. There is a direct bus connection between Várpalota and Budapest. The city is on the Budapest-Szombathely train route. The city is accessible by car via Main Road 8.

Female-Led Kung Fu Series Lands at Fox0
The 1970s martial arts western series Kung Fu, starring David Carradine, is getting a remake at Fox with a female lead. Executive produced by Greg Berlanti, the series has been given a put-pilot order. A put-pilot is a pilot that a network has agreed to air. If the episode doesn't air, the network will have to pay a substantial fee. The purpose of a put-pilot order is to guarantee the pilot will be picked up.
Created by Ed Spielman, Kung Fu ran for three seasons on ABC from 1972 to 1975 and became a hit with audiences. Kung Fu is recognized today as one of the most successful shows of the ...

Inhumans Showrunner Knows Season 2 Starting Point, Has Season 3 Ideas0
The showrunner of Marvel's Inhumans says he already has ideas for seasons 2 and 3 of the show – if they get made. After the less than stellar reception of Iron Fist, fans were trepidatious about showrunner Scott Buck also tackling Inhumans. And though the show won't premiere on ABC until tomorrow, its debut in IMAX theaters earlier this month has led to a number of scathing reviews. Even fellow MCU creative James Gunn doesn't think Inhumans will last long.
Despite the negative reception, however, Marvel and all involved are still marching forward as if the series were any other project from the hitmaker. Just yesterday, new images and synopses ...

Where Are They Now? The Cast Of Firefly0
Fifteen years after its premiere, Firefly remains far more beloved than anyone could've possibly imagined. In 2002, Fox had no idea how to promote the quirky space western. The network showed the episodes out of order and some were never aired at all. There was nothing on television quite like Firefly and Fox pulled the plug without even giving the series a fair shot. Joss Whedon's planned seven-season arc was whittled down to a mere fourteen episodes and not all of them even made it to TV.
Luckily, the show's popularity increased dramatically with DVD sales and in 2005 Whedon was able to give the series a proper send ...

Malawi's gospel artist Patience Namadingo has saluted South African musician Sipho Makhabane and people who turned up for the failed concert at Bingu International Conference Centre (BICC) in Lilongwe on Friday despite the event failing to take place.
The concert had an embarrassing sad ending as the patrons did not witness their favourite South African gospel singer Makhabane perform since the venue's doors were closed. The organisers did not book the ever busy BICC forcing people to spend hours outside.
Drama began last week Tuesday as one local artist, Faith Mussa, who was supposed to support Makhabane pulled out due to the organisers' lack of seriousness. This meant only Namadingo was to support the Over and Over hit maker.
The fans might have failed to witness Makhabane hold the mic on stage in the name of dishing gospel music but hours of being locked out gave them an opportunity to interact with him. Both Makhabane and Namadingo met their fans outside the venue as they were still hoping for greenlight.
"The people who bought tickets or paid at the door are not foolish but great people who came to the show regardless having heard negatives about the Sipho Makhabane show before its execution," wrote Namadingo on his Facebook account.
He indirectly blamed the organisers for not doing enough to make the event happen saying they should have pushed their work a little more.
Namadingo wishes the 26th August was a Sunday with Sipho Makhabane as the old saying goes, all days are not Sundays. According to the Msati Mseke singer, courage is what made the people attend and love made the guest smile as he socialised with his fans outside the venue.

i am sitting here at work trying to eat the lunch i brought on tuesday. i am shaking and it's most likely due to my 2pm starbucks run that involved 4 shots of espresso… there's still people in the office so i can't cry yet. i want to breakdown so badly. I imagine myself curled up inside our current st. Lawrence meeting room (in a corner) – hugging my short legs and crying my eyes out in my jeans…. but there's just no time and the expectation for an adult like myself is to pull through and be strong and pull through – again & again.
Dear everyone, leave me alone, I'm broken, please come back tomorrow.
but then again there's no point because there IS always a tomorrow. I just can't deal right now because my tomorrow has been fucked up and filled ('deeply penetrated') with problems knee deep (neck deep tbh).
When will that tomorrow come, where everything is balanced, the sun shines through and i feel ok. Dear universe, I'm only asking for OK. I'm racing with time to keep up with responsibilities and adult, fix things that are broken, breathe and actually move forward but as luck would have it, the universe is not done with this lesson yet. so I ask, dear silverlining what are you trying to teach me?
I crave for time because of all the things I'm trying to change but keep the same. I don't want to succumb to bitterness for the stupidest reason called 'work'. I crave for time to heal, to mend broken relationships that matter, to live life. Did I enjoy summer too much that now I'm all wonky? I crave for focus, but really I just want to disappear and within that disappearance I want the power to watch everything unfold without me. whoa whoa whoa, am I feeling replaceable? Am I settling into really not amounting to anything but a …. ok stop spinning. Please. Just. Stop.
Dear Jony I miss you. Dear Jhen I want to catch up with you. Dear Crew I need US. Dear Sophie I'm sorry. Dear Kstar let's make the impossible possible. Dear loneliness you keep away, I really don't need to feel you. Dear anxiety, FUCK YOU! Dear Babs, it's my turn (again).

SARATOGA SPRINGS — A woman torched a pickup truck and its contents at an apartment complex in Saratoga Springs early Monday morning, police said.
The woman believed the truck was owned by someone she knew, though it was not, police said.
The incident happened at about 2:40 a.m. in the parking lot of the Gaslight Square Apartments, 69 Hamilton St., police said. The truck was owned by a resident of the apartments.
Firefighters contained the fire to the bed of the truck, but the cab sustained significant damage, as did the contents of the truck bed, police said. The bed contained lawn care tools and equipment.
A police investigation determined the fire was intentionally set by Julie A. Gailor, 52, of Saratoga Springs, according to a police report. Gailor is also accused of taking a lawn chair from the truck prior to setting the fire, police said.
Gailor faces one count each of third-degree arson and second-degree criminal mischief, both felonies, as well as misdemeanor petit larceny. She was arraigned and ordered held on $10,000 bail.

Stephen Follows interviewing Gareth Unwin and Lisa Bryer is quite the collection of Producer talent to have on one stage. What is the collective noun for a group of Producers anyway? My feeling after this is that it should be an 'importance.' These are the people who get films made and champion a screenwriter's work.. or not! These producers came to tell us what it is that makes them regard rather than discard the work and people that come into their path.
Gareth Unwin began as an AD on other people's films and had wanted to do more with their production company, Bedlam Productions when the Exam project crossed his path, a successful film in Exam under his production belt the next film he produced was The King's Speech. Oscar glory and international success followed. His current film Zaytoun is newly released and receiving it's own acclaim in major festivals.
Lisa Bryer in her own words started "A million years ago!" producing music videos and commercials before moving into film production on shorts like Andrea Arnold's 'Wasp' and feature films, producer of The Last King of Scotland she now oversees rather than directly produces projects and is working with BAFTA currently on their new scholarship scheme.
Both agree that for screenwriters working with producers, the material has to be right. "It would be wrong," says Lisa, "to take on development of a project unless it had a decent chance of getting to the screen." Not only the material but also the writer has to be right. "You get a feel," Gareth says, "For which writer is right for the material you want to adapt."
Tips for new writers who aren't known to producers seem to be about showing what you can do, without initially asking too much of a busy producer's time. Peppering producer's social networks at 6AM a Sunday morning is the wrong way to get noticed.
Lisa suggests short film is a great way to start, get your words shot and then present that. For Gareth he says samples of work take up much less time to look at than a full screenplay so sending those to a producer initially means looking at your work takes fifteen minutes instead of four hours. Pitches too, he prefers kept short and appropriate behaviour is essential to show your professionalism to your work and theirs. Personal hygiene is also essential to present. In spending many hours in a room with a writer during that environment needs to be a pleasant one. It's clear from the producers that listening to the industry and understanding the business help you to be part of that industry and better to work with.
Lisa Bryer says she prefers it if writers have an agent because the amount of time in a room together fosters friendships and for both writer and producer having an agent to deal with the business side of things is an important professional barrier to keep working relationships healthy.
In terms of definite no-no's that will NOT get you hired, Gareth talks about writers who don't do their 'due diligence' and that it's frustrating when someone hasn't done their homework to know about the company and people they are asking to work with. For writers to be able to judge the producers they work with too, he suggests that it's best to put yourself in a position of knowledge. For Lisa, too much arrogance in a writer is something she doesn't like. In terms of how these producers work it's clear that though they're very different people, when it comes to their professionalism and dedication toward their projects and writers the standards are very similar in terms of what they want and don't want.
For what they do want, Lisa says "To me it's all about the idea, the story."
"Yes," agrees Gareth Unwin. "Material will always win out."
If you are as passionate about writing as these producers are then you can't say fairer than that!

Exhausting The Inexhaustible
1992: The catastrophic collapse of the cod population off the eastern seaboard of Canada forced the government to impose a moratorium on catches.
European sailors who reached Newfoundland at the end of the 15th century found the seas "full of fish which are taken not only with the net but also with a basket". In 1851, Newfoundland's display at the Great Exhibition in London dealt solely with the history and manufacture of cod liver oil. Cod sustained the Newfoundland economy, and cod numbers seemed inexhaustible.
In the 1950s, however, huge European trawlers arrived off Canada's Atlantic coast and began to scoop up enormous quantities of fish. Between 1960 and 1972, 4 or 5 billion cod were caught.
The fishing grounds could not withstand the onslaught. Catches collapsed in the 1970s, briefly recovered and then collapsed even more dramatically at the start of the 1990s. The inexhaustible had been exhausted.

OK...I know that I often push the Catholic Conundrum channel videos (OK...so I always push them...but it's my job!)
But I seriously recommend this one. However, my recommendation comes with a hint: you have to stay tuned the whole way through, or you will miss some really great info as well as some cool graphics that the kids worked on. PLEASE pass this one on. Too many Catholics don't understand the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and this video throws a spin on it that may really open eyes and hearts!
